My explanation is that Bitcoin is precisely the opposite of anonymous. If everyone started to use a currency like this it would almost impossible to hide transactions without obviously using something like a "bitcoin laundry service&qu

I've done web development using RPG. It was super useful to figure out because it allowed us to take a ton of legacy reports and systems and quickly build web interfaces for it without having to sort out the full structure of incredibl

This was awesome. I loved it so much. Personally I'd even pay good money for a series of these style of puzzles.

His definition of counterculture sorta seems limited. When punk and being a rebel is fully co opted by those in power, doesn't that kinda defeat the whole image part of being counter culture. Like in a fashion counter culture could be

I am always amazed as I look back at cga and ega graphics how incredibly versatile the designers were. Working with extreme limitations and still able to produce a mood and look that blows my mind. Same with really good ansi artists.

Excellent question. And in this lies one of the biggest reasons successfully quantizing gravity would be huge. The two theories fundamentally don't mesh. You quickly end up with infinities all over the place. There's a variety of

I now know at least 6 people including someone I work with who got banned for this exact reason even though they absolutely did not do what the automated systems are claiming. The appeals process had the same result for them and there is no

Well, it's a good thing they were able to get Google actually respond after completely shutting down their accounts and providing no method for review or accountability. It's too bad that so many other individuals/businesses

That actually makes a lot of sense. I wonder if that was the play the whole time.

Alberta has had open schools since Sept 2020. No issues at all. A few minor cases trivially handled by the new procedures. Honestly I find it bonkers that the US still has many of their schools closed.

Canada as well. It's absolutely bonkers watching small businesses forced to shut down and go out of business while Walmart has people packed in. The issue really is the people enacting the rules do not seem to have any real connection

Honestly when hertz pulled the selling more stock to suckers move I was shocked by the sheer ballsiness of the maneuver. Especially when they admitted that the stock would likely be worthless. Honestly, this is one of those situations where

No, I agree that the open source movement and free software has helped immensely with organizations that create these environments. However, the key thing is those environments still need to be paid for in order to keep them operational and

I feel the same way but I quickly realize that as soon as all of those walled gardens and advertising networks are gone, a lot of the "free" or "cheap" tools and programs I like no longer are available. This is a combina

From my time working within an academic environment, I can attest this is absolutely true. Especially since the gatekeepers (older professors, etc) have a general interest to see these older articles cited more and referenced. It's not

Darn, I used to have a Pixel, but they totally screwed the pooch with the Pixel 4, so I'm onto the Samsung now.

The fact that I see stories like this happen about once every month or so makes me incredibly uneasy about Google in general. So many individuals who have lost literally all of their email correspondance, photos, and digital apps they'

Quite likely a local optimum from the fact they a/b test everything incrementally all to heck. A major shift inherently will end up worse in the short term even if it is better in the long term. It's hard to do a major change both

Everyone in this thread is clearly stating how this is not a properly functioning system and there is story after story of the kafkaesque disasters to which Google is not responsible at all. The question I have is what can anyone do to real

Oh, I get the idea that the market research has a benefit as well. However, a major issue with Open Source development is funding it so that it becomes self-sustainable, especially for situations where the code requires significant work to

It's a clickbait title. That being said the real idea is the freemium consulting concept. Basically open source Devs give free consulting for a short time and then upselling to full on consulting for extended periods at full price. In
