that's great. Whom has been impacted by this and how, in more detail? I would say Google Maps is far more impactful and good than any protein folding....

Greed is good. - Gordon Gecko

I think this is a bad idea - many URLs are encoded as ftp still, e.g. when downloading tarballs, zips and such - does this mean clicking on an FTP URL now will require launching an external ftp app instead of downloading the file? I'm ok if FTP browsing is suspended through the browser, but abandoning FTP altogether in the browser is a bad idea. It's an old protocol and still very useful, albeit not in its unencrypted state maybe, but it does do a good job of what it's supposed to - namely, transfer files.

free is a flawed concept - energy and time went into publishing each paper meaning someone paid. If the authors want to give permission, then she ought to seek it for each paper she's put on her website or seek permission from whomever owns the copyright. Otherwise it's theft. And no amount of civil disobedience can justify theft.

the best google result I ever saw was "disney children songs" with a google image search returning a very explicit pornographic picture.... I have no idea whether this is result of deliberate bombing or maybe something else. This does not surprise me at all - as I've seen completely wrong results for many other things...wrong years...wrong names...associated with people or events....

Doing a stablecoin to replace something like the USD is an extremely difficult problem. Reserve.org is one company which understands the gravity of the issue and is committed to producing a stablecoin for anyone, worthy enough to replace the USD.

I just came to see how many search hits for "emacs" I will see in the comments, excluding mine, it's 65 :).

My wife agrees with this statement, often

I would not label this control - more like they gain experience in recognizing their own feelings, and for that split second after they register and become aware of their feelings, they choose an appropriate response. I remember Obama being heckled at a speech by someone - you could clearly see his irritation by his pause, a second or two of deliberate delay/processing what he felt, and then just gave a somewhat calm response to the person in an effort to defuse the tension in the room.

Trump notoriously sucked at emotional regulation, and he's what you'd consider 'an older individual'. He too would give measured responses, it's just that they were more direct/less diplomatic than say Obama's.

I used to be more knee-jerky in my responses, say 20+ years ago in my 20's, but after a lot of screw ups in life w/relationships (close/intimate ones in particular), a failed marriage, 2 kids and a lot of therapy, both group and individual, I've made progress in being aware of my feelings and responding in a more measured way, so outwardly that appears as if I have "greater control".

The reality is I'm still a mess - I'm just responsible for my mess before I vomit it outward on someone else.

LinkedIn Learning actually has this great one hour or so video I just watched that covers this nicely, I think it's called "Emotional Intelligence"... Some say it predicts how you will fare career wise far more than being just technically adept/skilled.

It's a process of "finding oneself" and figuring out where we fit best. Mastering responses to our emotions is a life long process and we tend to end up "automagically" drawn to similar people, cultures, companies, relationships....

lol, this is awesome!

It's amazing how disconnected from reality Susan is... I don't think she even knows it. YouTube is probably the poster child for censorship in the context of genuinely free (1A-protected) speech.

I have no idea how this self-stroking "award" can be taken seriously by those who actually monitor freedom of speech (excluding porn, which I don't consider 'speech').

I hate analogies... but will use one here... 'copying' an API, to me is a bit like copying the look&feel of a product. There used to be similar lawsuits alleging 'look and feel' violations awhile back between Microsoft and whomever (I don't recall anymore), most if not all of these bombed. If Google had lost this one, then the next step would be copyrighting a typedef-ed struct with "proprietary" Google data in it...

I am not a huge fan of Google's antics in general, but in this case, I am glad they won.

This among other less environmentally impactful factors is why I believe Bitcoin isn't sustainable in the long run. There are other cryptocurrencies which guarantee the same properties as bitcoin (immutability, no double spend, etc) without bitcoin's flaws.

For a first attempt Bitcoin killed it. But scaling isn't its virtue.

I've ceased using Google. DuckDuckGo, Yandex and Bing give better (less curated) results, track less and obviate the need for Google.

Kind of have to agree w/you. I run KDE on Wayland, it's pretty good, but I'd like to have a really slimmed down desktop like XFCE run on Wayland, possibly on BSD too as well as Linux. That would indeed be killer. CDE? Man..I didn't even know CDE is around anymore.

one of the many reasons I never bought an iPhone... not because I have some beef against iOS/OSX... I just dislike Apple's business antics, a.k.a. greed.

was this submitted to any crypto journals for peer review (CCS, Eurocrypt) or did the author arrive at this conclusion in isolation?

Gold standard? They have not been previously used on us humans and there are far more side-effects w/mRNA than traditional vaccines. I'll take J&J's '66%' over any mRNA vaccine.

Got it. You didn't clarify in your OP. The only issue w/BTC is its volatility, usability and its (in)ability to liquidate it as widely as other currencies... other than that, it's great ;)

Who controls your money after you withdraw it from a traditional bank?

I'm more interested in finding out how we know certain combinations of letters (e.g. words) means] specific things. Who conveyed this info to the first person or persons who invented the alphabet?

This is scary. Thank you for posting things - I've reshared it to as many places as I can.

I've noticed the discrepancies too. Even Bing and DuckDuckGo (vs Google) will return drastically different results, particularly that aren't in line with 'mainstream' thinking.

I know Google did not start out like this - 'don't be evil' - but this is how they ended up... Curating truth. It's really sad.

I don't believe in unlimited free speech, but the bar should be set as low as what is permitted by the 1A, at least in the United States which grants maximum freedom under the law.

this is sad.. sounds like a lot of good talent went wasted. Based on what you said here, sounds like the problem was not engineering talent but lack of vision/leadership :(.

"Greed is good" - Gordon Gekko

Call me a dreamer, as much as I love RPi, I would love to see a RISC-V SBC soon. I happen to believe RISC-V will do for hardware what Linux did for the OS.

Bonafide divine miracle, if you ask me.

The problem with performance reviews is that they are mostly subjective instead of mostly objective. I've yet to see a company specify a clear objective criteria for advancement.

You only get sued if you're defending your faith. That's the difference.

Violent? I'm not aware of any lawsuits due to violence by the neo Nazi founder and I despise neo Nazi speech as anyone else.

You completely missed the point or maybe you just don't give a s++t about 1A rights.

The other issue is they claimed to be hands off to customers, obviously within the bounds of the law.

The sad truth is this - distasteful as DS/Anglin is, he was not running afoul of the law. Matthew Prince unilaterally decided to reverse 200+ years of 1A jurisprudence for one of its customers because he disagreed with their views.

These Matthew Prince types are the same assclowns who sue Christian bakeries for refusing to adorn wedding cakes with 2 male or 2 female figures when they exercise their 1A rights to discriminate based in faith preferences.

The height of hypocrisy displayed by Cloudflare was galaxy sized, despite it being legal.

That's what I and many others blasted them about.

I can't put it any more clearly than this.
