Admittedly, I've done 99% of my development to target Linux, and just happen to use a Mac for its simpler and less time-consuming day-to-day GUI management. This is the first time I've tried to develop something to target a macO

This is not good. I've spend literally days attempting to get a Python-based GUI application "signed", using every available packaging option and dozens of different approaches recommended by a multitude of different source

One amazing outcome of the (currently expensive and unweildy) DeFi implementations, is that there is always a maker/taker available for every currency pair. You can always exchange every cryptocurrency for every other cryptocurrenc

The "central authority" that determines the composition of the basket -- is the users of the money. The thing about non-fraudulent, wealth-backed money is that there is no barrier to entry, nor is there a barrier to exit. Unlike

Well, some are rated to be able to sustain shocks of 10,000g while powered, and maintain accuracy through lesser shocks that would still vaporize the rest of the airframe, so yes.

I suspect you'd be very interested in this paper: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iUscaSy6HHLVz2e2rjQfQtx5... There are some good reasons why global-consensus cryptocurrencies can't generally be used

Everyone who hates you either has or can easily obtain your location. Find My just allows your friends to see where you are.

Hmmm. You sound very sure of this... Why don't you trust the output of the voting machines in this case, but do trust it in the prior case? In both cases, there are reports of numerical anomalies that are claimed to be statistical

One expensive laser-ring gyro, or 3+ independent MEMS gyros? I’ll take the multiple independent gyros, thanks.

This is a great idea; this is what Holochain and the Holo project are doing for all of your compute, bandwidth and storage, and could quite easily be extended to specific types of compute such as GPU as well.

Huh? An LLM can be trained to actively check that every email comes from a domain controlled by the claimed author of the email. That DKIM signing was successful from the purported issuing domain, and so on. All of the stuff I do when gran

Use homomorphic encryption to allow a voter to create multiple “valid” keys from their root key, and sell those votes to as many people as they want! Provide instructions publicly on exactly how to do so. Then, the voter can vote using the

"price fixing algorithm"? Wow, that's quite a feat! An algorithm that convinces all individual property owners to collude to set a price? So persuasive, it is, that there are no property owners making things available

Uhm, no. Nobody believes economic migrants are making homes unaffordable. To claim so is just silly. Politicians importing millions of economic migrants and supplying them with a home ? Yup, that will probably cause an issue. Which is e

Many home-schoolers use “Gather ‘Round” curriculum materials. They support you in educating a wide range of different ages in the same class. It works spectacularly well for home schoolers. It could work well for mixed-grade classrooms. Af

"dictate". I think that word doesn't mean what you think it means. If I, as a property holder, personally decide to use some mechanism to assist me in reaching a price for my product, that is fine -- even if you don't

Outlawing an algorithm that observes public facts and make obvious decisions based on those facts seems ... problematic. If all the same owners downloaded an Excel spreadsheet that imported the data and ran an algorithm to arrive at a marke

Wow rents are going up! A) encourage more supply B) prevent landlords from observing rent prices. Politicians: Let’s go with B! It will totally work.

Highly recommend reading this! Making it easy and legal for regular people to understand, run, test and modify your software is important.

This disproportionately affects independent news organizations; "Big News" like CBC gets billions of dollars a year in funding from the federal government. So, lobbying to pass this Bill C-18 allows CBC, etc. to entrench their tot

This problem is probably impossible to solve, without restoring both: - personal authority over agency/identity (eg. through private PKI credentials, such as produced by HD wallet derivation schemes used for cryptocurrency, etc) - pers

Ban the software that monitors rents in the area, and brings your unit into line? Ya, that’ll work.

I don't mind dogs; however, I regularly have to arrange myself between dogs and my daughter, in case they lunge. How is that something I should need to do? If I walked around brandishing a weapon and you had to put yourself between me

I’d like to be able to brandish a dangerous weapon, and occasionally shoot it into the air. It usually won’t hurt anyone! It shocks me that dog owners think it’s OK to brandish their barely constrained, dangerous weapon around me and my you

Your hypothesis, that AirBnB units are not fungible with long-term rentals, is not sound. I personally know property owners, large and small, and their properties are fluidly exchangeable between long and short term rentals. Reducing the pr

The cities that have done so are likely to experience the outcomes historically associated with rent controls — disaster. I’m just stating the obvious.

As someone who was considering building a home with a rental suite, and who knows multiple others who were planning to do the same — I can assure you this is an incorrect hypothesis.
