Wow that's a great point. Git repository hosts are perfect use case for this.

One of the challenges of having the ssh key be the identity connecting multiple devices, another challenge is if you lose access to your ssh key, I'm not sure what the "forgot password" flow would be. Especially since you wouldn't even have a signup email address.

Of course the catch is that our users need to be able to run SSH commands

If we ever crack how to make that normie-accessible, the the game is flipped upside down.

Look at how much energy has been put into Passkeys - a massive orchestration and cooperation from google, microsoft, apple... And it’s still slow AF, often requires that you find your second Passkey device, bluetooth, QR code scanning etc.

if you assume typical stock market returns, ~$2M is enough to retire on and live on $100k a year of interest gained alone.

Six months??? What does "comply" mean? Ship a version of the OS that supports all these new features? Or begin implementation of them?

Six months is barely enough time for companies to digest and understand the new requirements, and certainly not enough time to develop and ship such dramatic changes.

all those websites take their cut. and visa takes their cut. and still the podcaster can't "cash out" immediately, depending on settlement times and policies of the corporations. Essentially, the middlemen have the creators by the balls, lightning solves that.

is there an app that can send bulk gdpr data deletion requests for no-longer-used services?

seems like it'd be possible write an app that scans email history to detect services that have your data, scrape their websites to determine support email address(es), and send a GDPR data deletion request template to each of the selected ones.

My parents reached out asking me to help them figure out how to buy this Amazon crypto. They've recently become interested in crypto and so I've been teaching them how it works and how to use it.

Luckily I hadn't taught them anything about eth except how to buy it and how to self-custody it yet.

After seeing how easily they were scammed into believing this was real, I am recommending they steer clear of eth entirely and just stick to learning about bitcoin. Too many (believable) scams on smart contract chains.

The only btc scams I've seen are along the lines of "Send me your btc and I'll double it back for you!" which is obvious even for them.

I get that it's statistically impossible to actually rob bitcoin using this site (by finding a "green" private key).

But can anyone explain why I am able to find so many "yellow" ones (empty wallets that have previously made transactions)?

I expected going in to _only_ find "red" (never used) wallets and was surprised to find that was very much not the case.

I think raising this concern is a great first step into seriously thinking about bitcoin. Learning about bitcoin is a string of epiphanies and concerns, much like the actual bitcoin price chart over time.

No one gets to "maxi" without first going through all the ups and downs and common questions and misunderstandings

Bitcoin is a Ponzi 5 years ago

Thus the investors, as a whole, are always in the red, and their collective loss only increases with time

How is this true of bitcoin investors? When bitcoin price action is near all time highs, most bitcoin investors are not in the red.

he also said BTC can scale to millions of transactions per second which is impossible

He's probably referring to the lightning network, which is theoretically capable of handling millions or even someday billions of bitcoin transactions per second.

definitely feat, since it would indicate an end-user experience change whereas docs and refactor would not.

If you think in terms of semver and changelog autogeneration, these questions have obvious answers. ofc there are also other benefits like improved communication with teammates and contributors (and the curious).

The argument I usually hear is that SPACs = speculation.

Most of the time investors are investing based on a rumor, and on top of that they are investing before they have access to the company's fundamentals/disclosures available after companies go public.

Lots of speculative energy is often considered an indication of a market bubble.

Pinker references dozens of studies with data, charts and graphs to make his case. If there is more data that suggests that conclusions made from the data Pinker presents doesn't provide an accurate picture of reality, that should be included in an article about his being full of *.

really? I own the QC30s and I had non idea that was not the best for noise cancelling. why would they design it to b be less effective than the other models?

Just wanted to let you know that not all is lost. To avoid keeping a FB window open all day at work, you can use messenger.com, which is facebook's solution for this. Or http://www.goofyapp.com/, which is that webview packaged as a mac app. There's tons of other software solutions as well.

Facebook messenger is an amazing platform. You can communicate with all of your friends (even if you don't have their phone number), on all of your devices, mobile and stationary. It also provides context to conversation - a full profile is only a tap away. Sharing photos and files is a breeze, and emojis and stickers add a dimension of fun that is not as effective on other platforms.

Facebook is keeping up with the times, changing, adapting, and not wasting resources on outdated technologies.

I get excited about change and technical improvements, even if it means I have to break old habits. Just something to think about.

I use mint.com, which is free and pretty amazing. It makes automatically tracks all of your credit card and bank account activity, creates useful and informative graphs, lets you set up budgets and notifications, and all around is fun to use. highly recommend.
