   As a professional poker player, using weirdo denominations for cash games is not something anyone ever wants. The denominations are $1, $5, $25, $100, or $5, $25, $100, $500, or $5, $25, $100, $1000. In Vegas, the $5s are almost always red,

   This is about the Segway, right? I mean, small LiPo vehicles did take over the world, it’s just that they’re flying cameras instead. They even have some that can carry humans, so the jury’s still out on this one being false I think.

   On iOS app distribution and censorship is and will remain centralized. It doesn’t matter if the relay service is centralized or federated. Apple can ban apps that don’t comply with the new law. Even self-distributed apps under the new sid

   I fell into the trap ages ago, and spend as much time horizontally as possible without actively dying. You’re absolutely right that it’s bad for you.

    Given the amount of ad hoc surveillance in modern Apple OSes, I too find this irritating, as on desktop I refuse to allow my computer to connect to Apple for anything other than OS updates. Same goes for using your Mac’s display on an AVP.

    Yes, the root zone is terribly polluted now. Unfortunately there’s no way to unring that bell, people depend on a lot of these new domains now. It was a huge mistake, borne out of greed and recklessness. https://en.wikipedia.or

    It’s possible to survive doing things that aren’t shameful and destructive. If we don’t shame and blackball people for their freely taken adult decisions about how to spend their time and direct their effort, what can we shame or blackball

    I mind all ads. They rob you of your most precious and nonrenewable resource without consent. Ads are cancer and should be excised at every opportunity. Ad companies should be destroyed. Ad tech workers should be blackballed. Shilling is

    You can’t pay YouTube to remove in-video ads that the video creators put in. For that you need SponsorBlock anyway, so might as well use a 3p client that supports blocking both kinds of ads, without giving money to Google to continue buildi

    Generic specialty lawyers can make $350/hour, so can generic specialty SWEs. Don’t sell yourself (or others) short. Remote has nothing to do with it.

    Good thing you can use fake data with Ticketmaster purchases and aren’t forced to display matching government ID for access to venues. Oh, wait. There should be real, criminal penalties for leaking authentic, government-ID PII these days.

    They are, but most people don’t expect privacy in forum DMs, and forum site DMs aren’t usually used that much. Lots of people mistakenly assume their DMs on Discord (and their iMessages) will be private.

    This is untrue. Talking to friends in DM on non-e2ee platforms normalizes ubiquitous surveillance of friendship interactions and makes all of society worse. Don’t be reachable on non-e2ee DM systems. Delete your account.

    Stop using Discord for “just chatting”, too. It’s not end to end encrypted and Discord and whoever acquires them can read all of your chat logs, including DMs, for AI training or whatever else. Friends don’t talk to friends on surveillance

    Halide is $3 for a month, $12 for a year, or $60 for perpetual. $25-30 for perpetual would be reasonable. Kino costs $10 for perpetual, for reference.

    The Halide one time purchase is $60, and I carry a full frame mirrorless (rx1) with me at all times. Also, while I understand your QA issue, I won’t spend money on apps that phone home against my will, on basis of principle.

    This is already how bitcoin mining works. Compute is used to calculate partial hash collisions via brute force. The number of bits required in the collision adjusts dynamically based on the duration of the last 2016 blocks. If you'r
