that's what I meant actually—I just forgot it was trailing

if we could go back I wonder if it would be better if we had required a leading dot in domain names ".google.com"

I remember my college professor telling me this story in college. I have a feeling he'd been telling the same story for decades.

> I've slaughtered more machines than any of you.

Not only is that vanishingly unlikely to be true with this crowd it’s also not at all the kind of rhetoric that they’ll listen to either.

I imagine basically any form of compliance would require centralizing logs in some form

do they hold any significant influence? I've never heard of either one. I lived in WA state too.

I feel it's odd that you capitalized the "N" in "native". I assume you're not talking about these people[0].

Yeah same. I can wear the originals out for a run and it’s not a problem.

Like you it’s worse in my left ear too.

Of course. None of them make any difference.

I own a pair and they don’t stay in my ears even if I’m sat perfectly still for more than 15 minutes at a time. I really hope they fix this somehow.

Is Tracfone an MVNO in the US?

EDIT: seems they are. I feel it’s weird for the article to start talking about consolidation among the main 3 providers when an MVNO isn’t really in the same business.

I think characterizing this as having any effect of “propping up” iMessage is laughable. To call it a “terrible idea” is unfair to the project creators. They’re solving a problem people have, they’re not the cause of it.

My favorite part of redux is how reducers are really just big switch statements: https://redux.js.org/introduction/getting-started#basic-exam...

Checkboxes should just be an empty circle unless checked, other than that I love it

You can get financing from anywhere. Unless you wanted one of those 0% deals, in which case that’s why you weren’t offered less than MSRP

maybe this is better? just discovered it myself but it appears to be open: https://plus.codes/

If what3words wants anyone to bother using it they need to make it an open standard. They have very tight control over the trademark and usage of it.

This PR puff piece didn't even address the issue even though the BBC wrote about it a few months ago: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-49754820

EDIT: I didn't realize this article is from 2019—a month before the mildly critical article.

it seems logical to me a sophisticated syndicate would run their own tumbler. I'd assume there is some kind of OSS wordpress for mixing out there. And I don't think it'd be that hard to get other people to use it to get liquidity (just offer it as a free service).

couldn't you just store your data in append-only fashion?

The mixers keep a ledger outside the blockchain, so no—and a well written one wouldn't store any logs. You could possibly know that someone used a mixer but you wouldn't be able to track from the blockchain where the money came from. It could've come from 1000s of other transactions all with different amounts—none that would trace back to the source funds wallet.

yes, and it proves GP's point about crypto enabling crime. It's trivial to implement.

It's just a ledger kept outside so there is no link between the money going in and the money coming out.

Reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell's "pull the goalie" podcast. https://medium.com/the-post-grad-survival-guide/lessons-for-...

can't they just take the coins from the laundry machines and put them back into the coin machine?

> I don't know him personally, but from what I heard, Mr. Warner is most likely extremely good at understanding and planning complex distributed software systems.

I worked under him as an IC for a few years at Heroku. I'd certainly agree with that statement.

I feel the likely outcome is that you just wouldn't get a raise for a while

they wind up in your bash history this way too

In Unix files are pointers to pointers so you can have multiple files pointing the the same thing (hardline).

You can’t do this in Windows and that’s also why you can’t delete in-use files or directories with files inside

It’s because the file system doesn’t have inodes. It’s nothing to do with Explorer
