I wonder if/how AI personal agents would be able to help in this regard, trained to spot when attention is being manipulated in a certain way and inform you of that. Like the sunk cost fallacy, which is also in that list, it can offer

Gambling isn't a noble skill game. It's about winning and it involves cheating if you have the chance and if the way online systems are setup allow for this, it's their problem. They are probably doing rigged deals and/o

Browsers should just bundle all the advanced but privacy concerning APIs into a single App permissions dialog that you get on the domain you visit and that's it. That should include everything JS except simple DOM manipulations, so you

There is no particular reason, that part is certainly cultural. There aren't even seven, they are twelve equal slices, called semitones. There are infinite slices an octave can be divided into, we just picked one kind of division compl

This is nice! I like the graphs and the general feeling, and the utility is important as well. One minor UX tweak: remove the tile description text ellipsis and nowrap and just let it flow and wrap. Makes browsing the main page much better,

And I'm also gaslighting you both, it shows me my habit. It's amazing.

Yes it is! And that's what makes it art. The judgements you are both making are valid but then you'll see that they are also ridiculous because you can still have fun with it even though it basically tries to be wrong in every asp

You are missing the opportunity. When you are not used to alternate models and when something like this doesn't fit any of your current ones, it is frustrating - but at the same time it forces you to re-evaluate those models and for a

I think it has potential, as you explain, it's pretty young at the moment. There is certainly some value in a friend-2-friend credit network and the technology looks good, a lot work has been done judging from the repo! I can't he

Exactly, nothing is stopping few individuals from becoming mafia. Eventually a secondary system needs to be established to regulate those guys at gunpoint, then voila, you've got current society.

There are local communities around the world that run their own credit lines for exchange of goods outside of the banking system, so it's not that Offset is enabling something that isn't happening already. Maybe the software is mo

This looked initially like a cool idea, then I realized that to trade with someone you have to have a mutual credit line with them, or through someone who already has a credit line. How is this any different than the current model, where th

The approach has a name, it's called "radical honesty". The idea is this: we are often surprised as to how things turn up, yet at the same time, we are not fully engaged with the world around us, we hold back. The inner world

Smoking is also a natural Pomodoro technique, you take the necessary breaks for smoking so that keeps you going more.

Managed hosting is much more than what DO does, I suppose. They offer services like setting up a Wordpress, emails, nameservers, etc. for people who don't want or don't know how to. You sell customer service basically, you talk to

Impressive, both the instrument (Repro5) and the video. Can't believe the A/B voting results were as if they were random, everybody got about half right/wrong.

It is a combination of the actual and our perception of it IMO. Even if the wave was a square, our ear hair wouldn't pulsate as square because of the inertia. And as such we wouldn't perceive a perfect square any differently than

I didn't know this term, thank you for being such a pedant :) knowing the right term makes it easier to find information on the subject.

Maybe you misunderstood what the tool is doing. It is not doing geoip, it is using the latency of pings between your client and some selected servers with known locations, then calculates the center based on those timings and these known lo

Even if it's one bucket, isn't it still vulnerable to the same attack you describe? If you push the latency to the edge, you'd know how much is yours and how much the bucket's. Even if it was randomized you could still f

You are right, it is only pinpointing the DNS server of the client, which usually resides in the same city, so you can find where the victim lives. It is inferred from the conversation here though that one could potentially exploit this eve

I mentioned I just started working on it. To try for yourself you'd need to clone and tweak the servers list to find an optimal arrangement for you. The problem as I see it is that jumping continents occurs really artificial delays whi

Oh wow, they're actually doing the same thing, triangulating on latency. Hive mind, I guess. I used universities because I figured a)they won't mind, and b)they're more likely to have their servers on premises, then used a pu
