#1 reason to fly delta tbh

The biggest benefit is it gives you something to tinker with!

I’m really interested in the Flipper Zero, for your use was it capturing specific encoding or raw data?

For the fan - I like having it turn on in the late afternoon to freshen up the air in the bedroom.

I also really like automatically adjusting the brightness/color temperature of all our lights during the day.

It’s by no means necessary, but I don’t want to go back now.

I forgot to mention I used URH, it’s such a good tool. Very approachable for something so specialized.

"the other sw"

This is how I find out they actually made one I honestly had no idea hahahaha

He literally only cites himself in that article…

I think most likely is that the fraud team flagged the account and deactivated it, and there's no process internally to stop that so SVP guy couldn't do anything.

Sort of like the Google account issue where employees can't internally appeal to stop account suspensions.

Three things I love about USB-C

1. Charging is like 90% of what I use cables for, and I can just have the same cable for everything

2. USB-C displays are fantastic, one cable to my MacBook that handles charging, display output, USB-A ports etc

3. The only time I ever use USB-C ports for anything other than charging is from my MacBook, and so far every adapter/display etc has just worked

I could be wrong - but I believe Nvidia bins the chips for Founders Edition cards

I don't want to sound like a narc, but it seems like a really good idea to have some degree of oversight and safeguards on financial transactions of that magnitude.

This seems like a remarkably small team for the scale of what they're building! For some reason I imagined they'd have legions of engineers.

They really timed that well

"G2A couldn’t come to terms with those large firms and just did the audit themselves"

That's not an audit, it's just deep introspection

I honestly would be less frustrated if their ads weren't so obnoxious and ugly. Animated ads in the middle of an article are the absolute worst.

One of the few things I use my Apple Card for is online subscriptions. One click in the app and you change your card number immediately!

I always get really nervous every time I see the words "homemade" and "laser" in the same sentence.

I had to take a laser safety workshop in college and the stories of accidental blindings still haunt me. Those were from people who worked with lasers for a living, so god knows what people messing around with them in their garage can do.

Article aside - that LaTeX theme is dope

Ok, now do all other generics that are cheap to manufacture.

This is literally the plot line from I Am Legend

I've seen this said before (I forget from who), but I honestly think that over the next few decades meat is going to go through a similar transition to tobacco.

I don't think it's ever going to disappear completely, but I think it's going to become something most people only enjoy once in a while if at all. I also think that meat consumption is going to be viewed in a significantly more negative light over time.

For my work laptop, I use a single ~/Workspace directory, with ./GitHub, ./Local, and ./Personal within that.

All of my non-code stuff is in misc. app-specific cloud services: Google Drive for work stuff, Ulysses for personal notes/writing, Things for tasks etc. I also use KeepIt for bookmarks, which I really recommend.

I've spent an inordinate amount of time in my life trying to over-engineer my productivity with new apps, tools, or systems that I never end up using.

Some general tips:

- Don't try to solve problems you don't have yet. - Keep it simple.

The recommendation I've seen about how to deal with the potential privacy/security implications is to sign up for it even if you don't use it. This lets you "park" your address, so you're notified of any changes or if anyone tries to sign up for your address maliciously.

One of the most insidious aspects of depression is thinking that you can solve it easily on your own. Holding the idea of "if I just do x, y, and z then I'll be ok" in front of you, then consistently failing cements the feeling that it's "your fault".

> Also, if you want to build automated systems for money management, the barrier of entry will be significant in the legacy banking system.

There are a lot of good reasons why there's a high barrier of entry to set up shop in the financial system.

Trying to sidestep financial regulations through using cryptocurrency/blockchain is at least trying to actively exploit loopholes in the law, if not actually illegal.

You can absolutely get lower risk investments through Robinhood, but they actively market things like margin trading under the "Robinhood Gold" banner. I don't think most investment banks would let you do things that risky, and you'd still have an advisor in the middle.

You can always lose money while investing, it's just Robinhood makes it feel like you're losing at Candy Crush while you're doing it. Certain financial transactions shouldn't be as frictionless as Robinhood makes them, and I can't help but feel that their platform is irresponsibly built. Their "Checking and Savings" debacle show how fast and loose they play with regulations and educating consumers.

I think that companies like Robinhood gamifying highly risky trading strategies are super irresponsible. There should definitely be a higher burden to educate end users, and to more tightly limit crazy shit like leveraged positions.

This really highlights an advantage of centralisation. If those hundreds of thousands were stored in a bank account and a mistake was made transferring them, the bank would be obligated to fix it.

Decentralisation is cool, but it's not the solution to every problem.

Most New Yorkers don't live in LIC and won't be directly impacted. If you asked me about a proposal in a borough I never go to I'd probably say "yeah sure no problem"!
