Banana is used by bots to exploit specific in-Steam tradable items and rewards. It's not a real game.

The "ethics crisis", as described here, is the complaining of one ruling elite (traditional media, universities, bureaucrats, etc.) against another upcoming elite (tech). The problem is that all of the power is accruing to tech —

> My best rule for writing good subject lines is that they feel like they could be the subject lines of an internal email—this helps them feel natural in the inbox. For example, “Quick question”, or “Idea for better outbound” are two cas

I don't, personally. Something else may develop at some point, but X remains the best.

Every time I've checked Bluesky it's an absolute disaster. The migration from X seems to have selected adversely for the craziest people and content. The decentralized architecture is interesting but ultimately pointless since eve

Crypto does have significant advantages (handling in large quantities and rapid payment, as you described) but it is meaningfully harder to launder since blockchains are public and forensics is straightforward. The DoJ and crypto forensics

They aren't simply "choosing" to pass cost increases to consumers. There is extremely little "room" (restaurants have extremely low margins) so they reprice in order to remain profitable; other restaurants (subject

This couldn't be less true, for what it's worth. VCs from the largest funds are in it ~entirely for the DPI (distributed to paid-in capital; investment returns). Not only is this far, far more profitable than management fees (whic

The emoji is actually "Pistol" or "Gun" in the Unicode standard. It was originally represented as a real gun, but — for lack of a better term — activists chose to reinterpret it. If people want a "Water Pistol"

Couldn't it be the case that the secrets were not useful for accessing sensitive emails? Their response made it sound like the secrets were limited to a specific, limit-used app.

How do you know that? Both quotes seem to explain why what you're saying isn't true.

This seems right to me. Although Minecraft is far from open source, modding culture has kept it vibrant an interesting. For games with vigorous, interested players, open source seems like the way to keep that going.

Test drugs on Africans: "why are drugs being tested on Africans?" Don't test drugs on Africans: "why aren't drugs being tested on Africans?" A little charity in interpretation goes a long way.

Github is a corporate social network. Historically, those do not get wrapped.

An excellent course and one that has been critical in my professional development. Worth noting that Dan Boneh is also an advisor for a16z crypto's research team[1], and he produces a significant amount of blockchain-related content wi

As an interesting counterpoint, a16z (the VC firm) recently released a new cryptographic system - a zkVM (zero knowledge virtual machine) that was a collaboration between academic researchers and engineers on their staff.[1],[2] [1]: https

The last time bitcoin fell ~$5000 in 24 hours was two weeks ago. Two weeks before that it fell ~$7000 in 5 hours. And bitcoin is up 6% over the last four weeks. This is typical for bitcoin. Anyone can see this for themselves. So the interes

One of the biggest reasons monopolists are a problem is that they can exploitatively price and charge as much as possible from each customer, minimizing the consumer surplus. Kind of like the state of California is trying to do here.

Note that the issues you're talking about are, in substance, really about immigration and the legalisms therein. They're not about marriage in itself. The fact that marriage comes with other immigration and residency privileges me

I'm not sure what kind of "cesspool" Bluesky is, but it's unbearable. It's like 2015-era Tumblr but worse, somehow. Twitter, by contrast, feels like a breath of fresh air.

For what it's worth, Poetry and pdm paper over the issue and are still profoundly flawed. Rye is a bit better, but still not there.

I have one of these, having never used one growing up (so lacking the nostalgia) and I love the thing. To this day, no other keyboard can compete in terms of synchronizing the tactile "click" and the onscreen response. The only re

How is Mojo going to handle dependencies? This is something that Rust handles much better than Python with essentially no debate. Copying from Python here would be a huge error. How can we guide Mojo toward something closer to Crates?

If you find this idea compelling, and want to really understand why it's so radical, the best modern treatment is Chris Dixon's book Read Write Own[1] which became a "best seller" today. I strongly recommend the book — i

We don't have enough of it. Depending how you define and measure it, many humans don't even have it. It's extremely expensive to make more of, and it's the single most valuable resource. If this isn't obvious to you

If you find that part disconcerting, you may find the 2nd amendment terrifying. These laws are clearly violating it.
