literally the only use

I live in Taiwan

Can you find me an insurance company that will pay me out in case of a war with China? From what I see absolutely no one will insure that.

A $1k premium paid to Polymarket will cover me handsomely in the event of war and pay out instantly with no hassles.

A counterpoint to your hyperbole.

Closed source DNA testing software and hardware is a travesty imo

Someone dropped $100k polymarket on US attacking Iran that day, it sent the whole place into a frenzy.

There's degeneracy and then there's insiders and that's how these places work.

This account had no prior trades.

Of course it's you / partially you

Absolutely love your work, go strong. I click these thread and always expect your name to pop up

Creatine ruins my sleep Find myself getting up multiple times a night to pee.

Even once is rare unless I've been out drinking for the night.

Radiative cooling in space is not some unsolved problem.

The problem is whether it's worth the launch costs for it.

Airport is prime for this but in general the average person keeps wifi on and the click through on an Android to use open networks is so seamless

Enjoyed the article but a note to the author it's not nice to read on mobile (Firefox Android)

This is oh sweet summer child stuff.

Have you ever gone to a crowded public place and setup an open hotspot?

Am not a fan of dealing with worktrees Maybe for larger longer lived tasks but the time spent on merges from different agents is definitely a big headwind for parallel work.

This seems handled by this new agent which is cool.

I gave up on worktrees and hacked together a solution with fine-grained lockfiles for editing, running builds, etc that worked surprisingly good for what it was

Can't speak for copilot but Gemini cli is unbelievably bad compared to Gemini web.

CC has some magic secret sauce and I'm not sure what it is.

My company pays for both too, I keep coming back to Claude all-round

Pardon my skepticism but I find it hard to believe you can actually participate in western society without choosing to have a government mandated tracking device?

Maybe you live somewhere this is possible but it's definitely not in the developed world

http/2 is nothing like http/1

feel free to put them both behind load balancers and see how you go

This was discussed on polymarket with the Galve Goat burning bet and assume it's why

Essentially it's a big straw goat in Sweden that vandals sometime set on fire.

Right towards the end as the probability approaches zero there's a huge profit incentive, "done deals" usually go under well under 1¢ meaning 100-200x returns.

A US man once traveled to Sweden to set the goat on fire, he was caught, fined $20k(?) and then fled the country before paying the fine.

Risk reward in a situation like this absolutely creates a situation for prediction markets similar to the observer effect in physics, it's no longer predicting the future and instead altering it.

I assume it's generally unbecoming to reference 4chan posts for an academic but surprised the Shopping Cart theory didn't get a mention given how close it was to the subject matter.

“The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing. To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore, the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it.”

“No one will punish you for not returning the shopping cart, no one will fine you, or kill you for not returning the shopping cart. You gain nothing by returning the shopping cart. You must return the shopping cart out of the goodness of your own heart. You must return the shopping cart because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct. The Shopping Cart Theory, therefore, is a great litmus test on whether a person is a good or bad member of society.”

100% innocent

Feel free to explain the submarine with no flag they bombed

Wise customer service is amazingly good though.

I'd much prefer to use a company that spends 100% of the time on 80% of customers than one that spends 80% of it's time on 20% of the customers

OP can't even provide proof from the tax office of being at that address, it's an angry rant rather than the whole picture.

Would you go into business with him with nothing but a phone bill as proof?

I've personally found wise to be more than helpful and I've changed addresses across continents, to far more red flag jurisdictions than my native Australia

So while I feel for the person they seem very unwilling to meet a provider in the middle, is it not fair to question why this business pays no electricity or either owns/rent the property?

This is very basic stuff for a business to have. Nothing more than a phone bill at that address is bit iffy.

From a pure risk perspective buying a $2 sim card and putting whatever address you want in online then sending someone the PDF saying that's where we are is not hard to do, so maybe not worth having your business if you can't provide anything else to satisfy their worries?

There's plenty of banks that have to service you by law, go to them, and pay the far higher costs.

Strangely not mentioned much in here is how these accounts are up for sale.

It's definitely never mentioned on reddit because simply saying one of the websites in an offhand comment gets you a sitewide ban and your comment deleted.

This was previously impossible

Isn't this what Mastadon is?

yet people still use Google Search

Google search is widely acknowledged as drastically drying up in the last year or so, that's despite more worldwide internet usage.

I get it's something you need but for the average user autotypers and clickers not working easily without permissions is a definite positive.

It's entirely the point of moving to Wayland for many.

I'm always amazed how all the banks I've used in Australia require either their own proprietary app or some bizarre closed source unvetted 3rd party TOTP implementation instead of just allowing TOTP.
