Attack on bitcoin != attack on crypto. Gridcoin suffers much less from this problem since the computations are actually useful and would likely be done anyway.

I've been wondering how much cancel culture is affecting journalism right now. The way it affects won't be clear since it seems stating that you're self censoring due to cancel culture makes you a target of said culture. Also

Is this actually from the article? I didn't want to click such a clickbait title, but this would confirm it had nothing to offer.

Flagged for editorialized title.

I doubt this law explicitly only applies to Google.

The first time I really heard of it was about a year ago, and there has been an explosion in tools and articles about it. No new innovation will reach mass market adoption in that time, but Zettelkasten is well on its way.

I disagree about the mass market adoption - compared to how long Zettelkasten has been trending (less than a year), the rise in its tooling and usage is quite phenomenal.

There are quite a few out there, why are you looking into building your own?

This sort of exploration of genetic correlations is really intriguing to me, largely because of the related question of human inequality. This study essentially affirms that certain genes act as a risk factor in life. To simplify my point:

I'm surprised to see that household income correlates relatively strongly with both IQ and non-IQ genes. I would've imagined IQ genes would be dominant there. Edit: after reading the blog post I'm not surprised anymore. Since

Electron has a number of problems. First, as already mentioned, any XSS turns into much more serious RCE bug. Second, the bloat. Third, on platforms like MacOS you're encouraged (soon required) to obtain a code signing certificate, whi

I wonder if the only way to meaningfully oppose cancel culture is actively cancel the proponents. It's hard to fight a movement that's willing to go to such extremes while holding on to ideals which restrict your own response.

I think someone tried to be cute by having '1337' in the sum. If the figure wasn't so insultingly low it would've been fun.

I don't think anyone is being distracted by blurred hair or hands. If your coworkers don't feel comfortable even turning on the camera, it shouldn't matter to you. Aside from edge cases like a modelling agency looking for fre

The reasons I've listed are the same reasons I've heard from people in the industry on why large companies don't generally allow AGPL.

As someone who's been trying to figure out a good open source license for my software, I've had to remove AGPL from consideration. This is because I want companies to be able to use the software for their internal use but not be a

First, I think service workers are essential if we don't want all future apps to live and die by arbitrary app store restrictions. Service workers provide a lot of functionality that make web pages competitive (feature-wise) with apps.

Why not time the programming task? Since it's supposed to take about two hours you could ask them to choose a two hour slot, email them the task at that time and have them return it two hours later. This wouldn't penalize people w
