Don‘t know where you are living but in the US this scenario of ‘there might be an authoritarian regime in the future’ has become reality faster than most people believed it could.

For me this term makes them sound inefficient or even redundant, as in somebody reinventing the wheel.

What this needs is a daily puzzle and an easy way to share it in text format, a la Worlde or Domino Fit...

> on another note, it seems silly to have both firefox and safari. perhaps there is some unificaiton strategy that we can get these two to pursue. combined, they certainly have enough marketshare to drive webmasters.

Was 2005 really such a different time with respect to monopolies that someone like Brin would actually think it's "silly" for more than one browser to have significant market share? Wasn't Microsoft punished also for bundling IE with Windows?

There's been a recent article [1] about a very similar students' project at Darmstadt University. Interesting to see that the post referenced here precedes this by about five years.

Peppers and eggplant as well, according to the article.

Does it have a standard tripod mount? Also, maybe for a later iteration, if you could make a case that enables compatibility with GoPro accesories would be plus.

Otherwise, I'm very impressed, it requires a lot of dedication and different abilities to makes something like that!

> In 2021 the "Doge" meme sold as a non-fungible token (NFT) for $4m (£3.2m).

> Kabosu is also the face of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin, which was originally created as a "joke" currency and is the sleeve sponsor of Watford Football Club.

Absurd times we live in, comedic and dramatic at the same time.

If what they call 'consistency' is just the total number of stories posted, it's not really surprising to see a strong correlation with total karma points, is it? The more stories posted, the more karma gathered. Anything else would be a real head scratcher.

You could say, there might be people who keep posting stories even though the don't get upvoted, but that would be kind of irrational. If the community doesn't seem to be interested in what they post, they will stop doing so sooner or later.

Olaf Scholz is the head of the government, Germany's head of state is its president, currently Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

Sometimes I wonder about the things that make it to HN's front page...

The S-1 filing: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1713445/000162828024...

It‘s what my phone made out of two presses of the same (single quote) button.

I like the idea, but they should have called it something else instead of ‚usename‘. Maybe ‚connection string‘ or ‚discovery phrase‘. Right now they have to explain at length in what ways it’s different from regular usernames.

I really enjoyed playing it, seems to hit the right sweet spot of difficulty. The earlier puzzles (1-4) seemed a bit easy at first, but not so easy to deter me from continuing. With #5 I needed a bit of back and forth, but not frustratingly much.

Also I really like the graphics and sound, it's pleasant to look at and to listen to, which is important for a puzzle game imo.

Also impressive: Jonas Deichmann's circumnavigation by triathlon. 450km swimming in the sea, 21000 km cycling and 5060 km running.

Meta says they have an advantage because all the data on their platform, which they can use to train models. Yet, later in the article is mentioned that Meta so far has used the Common Crawl dataset.

If their trove of data is so valuable, why don't they use it? Could the problem be that none of Meta's "hundreds of billions of images" is labeled, making it far less useful for training models?

Also, I imagine that the content on FB and Insta is highly skewed in a certain direction, like selfies and food images, which restricts its usefulness further.

So, Zuckerberg's statement sounds like pure marketing to boost the share price.

The fellowships of Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) provide not only virtual and in-person meetings, but also Whatsapp groups for exactly this: peer support in time of need. https://slaavirtual.org/whatsapp/

In addition, if you join a meeting a couple times, chances are that you will get to know the fellows there and they will have a local, self-organized, non-public chat room as well.

Just a thought: If I am working as a project manager in a corporate environment and suggest to my company that they purchase this, I am basically outing myself to have ADHD?

I kinda like the term 'people first project management' used further down on the product page. Maybe have a dedicated page talking about why your software is inclusive with respect to neurodiversity, but it seems counter productive to call yourself 'projekt planner for ADHD people', at least if you want to market to enterprises. Just my 2ct.

I think if OP was serious about solving a real mystery here, they would have posted to a cryptography forum, not 'bitcointalk'.

The body will get used to it, the effect will wane unless the dosage is increased, and before you know it you cannot function without the stimulant.

You can replace 'stimulants' with 'alcohol' in the quote above and it will still be true.

Alan Watts was my 'gateway drug' into accessible spiritual texts, that led me further to Jiddu Krishnamurti, Ram Dass, traditional Buddhism and Advaita.

To be able to search for specific topics or phrases in Ram Dass' talks, I built this little search engine that finds the search phrase in the subtitles and gives you the context and a link to Youtube: https://ramdass-search.net/

Isn't the SSL certificate being issued by Cloudflare a giveaway?

I'm guessing it's a sufficient condition, bit not a necessary one. I.e, a could be using Cloudflare's WAF with a SSL cert issued by somebody else.

Olomouc is misplaced on the map, that's Switzerland, and not Czechia?

The weather doesn't seem to have been a criterion, does it? If I think about places in Europe where I would like to live and work remotely, I'm thinking Portugal, Spain, Italy. Certainly not Luxembourg, Denamrk, Netherlands and Iceland...

Also, I've been to Luxembourg myself, and the people I met there were drawing a Luxembourg salary but living across the border in France, because real estate is just much, much cheaper there.

Apparently it was human error. The poor customer service rep just didn't know about the policy that should have let them help despite the expired subscription. I.e. the headline is massively exaggerating the story.

You can suddenly read all the encrypted emails, web traffic, instant messages and IP phone calls you have captured and stored for the past years (or even decades).

Looks nice, but the instructions are confusing me. I've read the 'How to Play' and still don't know how to play.

First of all, I need to 'spin', but how do I do that? By clicking, dragging, typing...? Any or all of these? And if so, clicking/dragging what?

And what is it that is being spun? Rows, columns? Apparently it's words, but that is mentioned nowhere.

Second, in the 'How to Play' there are these two examples: > For example, you could spin CAT to obtain TAC. > You can also spin in reverse, so you could spin TAHC to make CHAT

I don't see the difference between these two, both reverse a word by 'spinning', so why are these two seemingly identical examples given here?

> Russian and Chinese consumers are less interested in English-language articles.

Isn't it just one additional step to automatically translate them?
