I don't just dislike Elon Musk like he's some jerk I don't agree with. This isn't a baseball game where he's the other team's star pitcher and we should put aside our differences when the game is over.

Elon actively interfered with US elections, and has done untold damage through his DOGE stunt. He uses his vast wealth in ways that have done real damage to the US, the US economy and in support of people who are dismantling American rights.

The boogeyman of "China/Asia" won't make me "support" a man who uses his money to make America worse. I do not support his actions and I do no wish to fund them regardless of the technology they create.

What leads you to that conclusion? What do you think the average Steam user looks like? What about them doesn't fit your idea of this?

I’m confident a decently configured AI would produce a better answer. This reads like a BPO.

As someone who uses AI heavily in customer support, I am confident that response was not AI. That's a series of macros or a hastily edited macro from a human working a queue without thinking.

The contract code said, "if you have a valid (off-chain) private key, you can mint tokens." The hacker gained access to their AWS account and ultimately their keys.

While I am happy to celebrate dumb crypto stuff, this isn't a situation where someone's code was "exploited." Their code was stupid, relying only on an off-chain private key to allow the minting of tokens. Their security was just also bad.

Not that it matters much, but this summary isn't right. The contract wasn't "exploited." The company's AWS account was compromised, giving the attacker access to a (off-chain) private key.

The contract relied on the key to mint new tokens. The hacker gained access to the key (through AWS) and with it minted as much as they'd like. It is certainly a valid take that a contract that only required the private key to mint an unlimited amount of the token isn't a good one, but you don't exploit someone's front door lock by grabbing the key from under the welcome mat.

There have been a few other test pages posted in the comments with varying degrees of additional context.

Yeah, this is what I don't understand. Why did we gut 18F, which was doing incredible work and make a... a new version? Seems the opposite of reducing waste.

Yes, this was a common phrase in early psychedelic and other drug experience sharing forums. Like a verbal talisman people believe kept them from incriminating themselves. I haven't thought about it in years. Delightful.

I've been on ~4-5 flights since upgrading to the Airpods Pro 3 from the 2 and haven't experienced this, though I had occasionally experienced a similar whine on my Pro 2 that seemed to have been resolved in a software update sometime back.

I am surprised by the general negative sentiment for the 3s in this thread. They've felt like a straight and clear upgrade to me. Better fit, better ANC, and much improved battery life. I typically wear mine almost all day so comfort is hugely important to me.

It’s been tried. There’s International Sign Language (ISL) and it’s about as successful as Esperanto. I’ve mostly heard it’s used a little at large Deaf meet ups and conferences.

American Sign Language (ASL) is often the second sign language non-Americans learn as it has a some international presence.

But ultimately sign language users are no more likely to decide on and widely adopt a universal language than spoken language users.

Do you have any sources that present this to be the case in terms of diagnosing ADHD or autism at all?

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you! Very excited to use this.

This is absolutely correct. ASL is so deeply different from English that in certain circumstances where it's a priority that a signer's understanding of the topic is clear there can be two interpreters at once. A hearing interpreter who interprets verbatim to a Deaf interpreter (a CDI, or certified Deaf interpreter) who then interprets to the Deaf recipient.

Public broadcasts should absolutely be interpreted to ensure that everyone has access to understanding them.

I encourage everyone to learn more about ASL and to learn a bit of ASL themselves. There are many amazing resources put out by Deaf people to help folks learn.

This parent-commenter is correct, ASL is a completely separate language from spoken English. Many people who are raised with ASL as their first language prefer seeing ASL rather than reading English.

Modern ASL includes elements of "signed English" but it it's own language, the third most common in the US.

I am a hearing person, so take my understanding of this with a grain of salt. Here is a Deaf primary resource to describe the difference.

Can you cite examples of this occurring with any sort of regularity in America? The most I've ever heard of are doctors prescribing puberty blockers - which actually preserves their ability to choose later.

Even this is seen as an extreme step and typically only done with multiple doctors signing off.

There are appear to be rare outliers and technicalities, but these are single digit exceptions rather than representative of some new norm.

I had the same problem - but US based. I reached out to their support as they recently sent me an email and they comped me a year of their Prime plan. It was nice of them but kind of too little too late.

I work at Zapier and have for more than 2 years. Internally, we talk about Basecamp as one of the ideals we strive for and reference their writing frequently.

We're all remote and pride ourselves on being humble, helpful and have a proper work life balance. We sometimes describe it as a midwestern work ethic.

I'm not a founder or executive at Zapier so I can't pitch it from that perspective but as a happy employee and fellow fan of Basecamp I think you should check us out.

I completed a Front End Dev apprenticeship/boot camp with Bloc.io. I'm now the manager of support training at Zapier. While I think the technical skills it provided me with helped me out in my current role I don't think it would've prepared me to be an actual developer.

Having done an online boot camp I can say at least part of it is not wanting to spread negative feedback that might devalue your investment.

I imagine many people go into these programs to gain skills to get a job. If afterwards you talk about how the program failed to prepare you for that you're shooting yourself in the foot.

As to why there aren't more positive reviews - maybe it's related?

Zapier has a much heavier focus on business apps. Less internet of things, more workflows and invoices.

Do you guys have plans for an API or webhooks?

Its been hinted that they'll be busting other Tor marketplaces in the next day or so. I wonder if they were similarly infiltrated and what effect that will have on the community.

In the document they released they made it clear that the server had been located and compromised. An image of the server from July 2013 was part of the evidence in the indictment.

While I hope a dead man switched was flipped it doesn't look good for the integrity of the site. Hopefully everyone involved was smart enough to encrypt.

I think this is a really well argued article. There is a problem in the technology community and its not just a minority of people. There is a pervasive acceptance of misogyny. Its not just the cowards typing death threats its the casual remarks that build up into an environment that isn't welcoming to women. Collectively we need to find ways to improve ourselves, our communities and our workplaces that make them welcoming to a more diverse group of people and not break down into bitter arguments over the suggestion of unfairness.

Definitely a nice app in a crowded market though. What do you offer that say something like Draftin.com doesn't?

Samurai Jack is perhaps one of the most perfect animated shows of all time. Hyperbole be damned there is something about that show that struck a nerve with me. Some episodes had almost no dialogue. It was just awesome.

Cool idea but it just blew up the font to an unreadably huge size for me. Using an external camera mounted on the monitor in front of me.

Looks good, though I'm not sure how I feel about this queue system. I understand that they're claiming its to make sure they can handle the numbers but I can't help but think it might also be a clever marketing ploy.

Kind of like how when no one could get on Google+ everyone wanted to be on Google+.
