It wouldn't be easy, but I'm imagining it would probably require identifying the other side of some historical transactions, and being able to prove that. Like if you had ever sent…

There's still some small part of me hoping that the later waves are whitehats and the reason they're keeping everything in segmented addresses is because they hope to find a way to…

I had CDs from all my high school friends' dumb little bands. All gone. I don't care that nobody else on YouTube would ever have wanted to hear them. I don't even really care that …

I lost my entire local indie music collection. I'm glad your interests were apparently more mainstream, but I can't listen to my high school classmates' songs ever again.

I trusted it in 2008 because none of these things had been around long enough to have a track record of enshittification.

Yeah, but if the songs in your Google Music library weren't on YouTube Music, you just lost them forever. End of story. It was the betrayal that turned me off Google.

The thing that pissed me off was that I had uploaded so many indie local bands' CDs, none of which were ever on YouTube, so I lost more than half of my music library when they forc…

I had a cohort of friends from grad school that used Buzz like crazy. We tried Google+, but it just wasn't as useful. This would have been 2008-2010. We also really wanted to use G…

Little did we know back then how many people were yearning to have stalkers. "This person wants to be notified every time I put something online" sounded incredibly creepy in the m…

Not having a front light is a dealbreaker for me. My favorite device is still my Boox Poke 2 Color. I just wish it were slightly bigger. I don't care about writing on it (I have a …

Which reader do you have? I've been looking everywhere I can think of for a good 8-inch device, but I need it to run Android. Heck, I even tried looking into tablets with tradition…

This reminds me of the plot some Libertarians had back in 2020 to win the U.S. presidential election by taking New Mexico or some other state. I can't remember how it was supposed …

I think the reason I might like to have the dot be darker is also because even at closer zooms, it suggests "There's a high density of activity here," which could make it more obvi…

Does it end up a darker or at least fully opaque dot to show it's not the same as the individual dots elsewhere? Like from your example in the article, I might make that dot maroon…

I think for my purposes, people would rather see a list of the groups meeting at that place than click individual identical markers arranged around the point to see what's there. I…

I still don't understand how the dots help when multiple dots need to be at the exact same coordinates at the lowest zoom level. How do you open a list of them? I'm working on a pr…

I would use the shit out of this. I'm a heavy user of Logseq (OG, the md file-based version). Would LOVE to save my favorite web resources this way.

Have you ever listened to a congressional hearing? Or spoken to an "average reader"? Most absolutely glaze over at the idea of calculating the "log base" of anything. If they ever …

Honestly, having spent a huge chunk of my career in customer support, 80%+ of the tickets could be solved with a script and not need an AI. Just about every company has a catalog o…

The solution in the article is, "Pay for a max plan and then buy the extra tokens you need by API." How is that noteworthy? Isn't that exactly what Anthropic and OpenAI recommend? …

Just testing out practice mode, I found what I really wanted was to be able to stay at a certain level until I felt I was getting good at sequences of that length, not immediately …

I've been a longtime user of Logseq, and thankfully both it and its plugins are open source. I've just been having a lot of fun tweaking plugins I use a lot to have the additional …

This seems like such a classic example of mixing up correlation and causation. Who's more likely to choose a job that can be done from home? People who already have reasons they'd …

And there is something useful about being able to trace the ballistics back to find out which gun was responsible for the shot, as a key to who was wielding it and is ultimately re…

Your caring about the entity cited doesn't actually change the nature of the citation. Your saying "Co-authored by Copilot" does the same thing--gives Copilot possible exposure and…
