If you talk to a Ukrainian, they will tell you that the war will end when they win the war. I.E. they won’t stop fighting until the Russians are gone. So if the regions remain unde…

Why apply that standard to scooters and not to cars? Parked cars are strewn all across the road, taking up much more space. Some sit in the same place for weeks. The road outside m…

Agree. Cars are a menace to society

Don't know what Giphy has, but creating and sharing a gif from a movie would be fair use and not subject to copyright. You're not going to watch a movie in gif format, and it would…

It took me a long time to find it, but this is "the" search engine for PeerTube: https://sepiasearch.org/ This could be a reasonable entry point for a non-technical user who just w…

+6 degrees above the 30 year average in the north pole this year I knew it was up but that is a LOT

NFTs are obviously a bit silly, BUT, it would be nice if things bought on platforms like Steam, Roblox, Amazon, iTunes etc. were transferable to other games/platforms. The platform…

Tailwind is popping up everywhere these days. I’m sold on it, but it seems a large number of people really don’t like it…

Johnny Knoxville was 29 when Jackass 1 came out- wow!

Yes but it’s unusable in 99% of apps, so it doesn’t matter how technically brilliant it is

Woah, 4 degrees Celsius temperature rise since 1970. 7 degrees warmer in winter. That's a lot, no wonder it's changing.

Or the now defunct tent protocol https://tent.io https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tent_(protocol) from the team that made the also now defunct Flynn https://Flynn.io

If it's just one or a handful of emails, or a small image, attach the image and use it's Content ID to refer to it in the HTML of the email: pretty much all email clients support i…

Once I had a developer use a Meme image as an API response in development. It was funny, but it was surprisingly hard to explain to stakeholders during demos that this was not the …

I don’t think that works at all? Your buddy would have to mine that specific block to get the reward, which is based entirely on chance. You’d also have to spend as much on the POW…

Nice- but personally I prefer Identicons e.g. https://idbloc.co/blog/product/update/2019/05/09/toggles-ide... These are basically a hash in visual format.

I think the unbounded optimism / arrogance is that life as is will continue indefinitely, or just get better and better. That might happen, but climate change is one of very few th…

No but if we keep polluting at this rate, in 500 years civilisations will crumble. If food supply chains fail we’ll see a bunch of wars break out and a global chain reaction that w…

In 500 years? It has to be 50 or there won’t be any societies to power in 500 years

Does this include list-unsubscribe headers and unsubscribe links?

If this scaling blog post is accurate, a global payment network at 1m transactions/second, decentralised, is massively valuable. Imagine if the only way to send a message to someon…

It takes much longer to cook from scratch than use processed food. If you're on the bread line it's better to spend that time working overtime. It also takes a long time to learn t…

But at scale you need lots of nodes/computational power and therefore lots of money. It doesn’t really make a difference whether you buy graphics cards in a pow world or ethereum i…
