Yes, my point is, that applies for a single coin. The conceptual shift I'm talking about here is that (my definition of fork here is) /another/ coin. Another coin (like ethereum, doge, whatever) is just another "fork&quo

Nobody has been able to explain this to me WRT cryptocurrencies and their "digital scarcity" quality: If people are free to create new chains out of thin air and build networks around it, how is anything digital "scarce"

You'll be surprised how much your predictions improve if you stop for a moment to do some back of the napkin calculations. Lots of overly optimistic or pessimistic news out there just to grab your attention. Having an edge in predictio

And if your company fails my company fails with it? How would I ever move out of this? Very impressive tech! But the upside is not worth the vendor risk for me. Edit: or maybe this is not an issue at all - but the website copy does not make

I think what they are transferring is not a video but 3d model and the skin texture applied on the model (all derived from the realtime video / depth recording on the other side). The receiving and then renders it as a 3d model on the

I'd like to see a todos added / todos disappeared graph that would account for the velocity of development of a project. For some, while the todos grow, the relative "todo per LOC" might decrease etc.

Yes, that is my point. Netflix cannot even say where and how to sign up inside the app as per Apple's policies. Apple would like them to sell subscriptions from App Store, but they are refusing because Apple wants a cut for the privile

>Well, that's really the big question here, isn't it? Does Apple's App Store actually provide good value for what it costs, or is it being artificially supported through other means? Netflix for instance can choose to refu

Really? If I set up a shop in the USA, can I not dictate what I sell there and under what terms? "Making it harder to switch" is moot, once you start purchasing stuff in X platform it is already hard to switch since your purchases

But then if the shop is a dick to you, or it scams you, otherwise does a dirty on you, it would affect the credibility of the shopping center (how are they allowing scammers to rent shops here), even the concept of doing business with shopp

Thank you, that sounds pretty cool.

I'm not very familiar with KhanAcademy besides the beginnings of it where it was just a youtube channel. What are they doing now to warrant half a mil lines of code?
257.
by dkarras 5y ago
Yeah that is what I thought too. Maybe they are trying to use it as a "feature" - like it spontaneously got unstuck, nothing to do about it.

I don't think we even know what to look for yet. >Clinicians are currently unaware of distinct retinal feature variations between males and females, highlighting the importance of model explainability for this task.

Thank you, that makes sense. I am using a desktop hackintosh so not suffering from it but good to know.

Honestly, doesn't even need to. Cold reading, barnum effect etc. works really well on the human psyche.

I first noticed this "style" in the rebranding of dropbox. The "language" of the font shapes etc. looks like they get inspiration from a single source. Anyone knows what it is? Is this the "next" thing?

you can move (cut + paste) in finder, it is hidden for some reason. instead of cmd + v, you need cmd + option + v and the file you copied will be pasted just like it was "cut".

I use vagrant boxes (virtualbox) with nfs shares, works well. I'd still do it if I was on linux to be honest. My VMs are provisioned in a way that they have everything installed for the particular project and they are "stateless&q

Following that logic, any obvious ponzi / pyramid scheme is credible and trustworthy until it demonstrably collapses? You say tether is "maintaining" the peg but that information comes... from them. They are not audited. They

I doubt anyone stole their bitcoins though. I assume they just transferred it out themselves and will cash out later.

So I have 730k in bank account, but instead of using it, I borrow 730k and spend that money (how do you even decide "which" money you are spending anyways, it's all money) and pay interest on the loan? Why would I do that?
269.
by dkarras 5y ago
Doesn't matter what tether says because they are not audited. I could write "100% cash!" on a napkin and it would have the same credibility.
