Obligatory Line Goes Up video, although not exclusively about Bitcoin.

I do admit that early in Bitcoin’s life, around 2013, i was a interested in Bitcoin as an alternative to banking, but the volatility and speculation alienated me from the community. Anyone buying BTC now for $90k, you need to realize this turned into a pyramid scheme and you’re not at the top of it. You may be able to find someone who’s more of a sucker to take the Bitcoin off your hand and make a profit, but it’s not sustainable, someone has to loose. Any gains you make are probably less than 10% what the person made by selling it to you.

If you do end up speculating on crypto, don’t invest more than you can afford to loose, and assume you’ll loose it all. It’s very likely you’ll either get hacked/scammed, loose your wallet, leave your wallet in an online exchange who runs off with your keys, etc. You’re on your own if that happens. If you do end up making any profit, it’ll be a blessing and you’ll be way happier than if you thought this would be your key to get rich, and you end up loosing it all.

is he paid residuals for theater and streaming sales? 🤮 if so, this would be a great reason to pirate it.

Thank you!

Anyone have a non-paywalled link?

That was for sure dramatized, and the real woman who lost her baby was very outspoken when the series was released that she didn’t kill her baby. In addition to being inaccurate it also didn’t portray her properly. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/12/23/say-killed-baby-woman-inspired-chernobyl-tv-character-says-abuse/

That was an excruciating interview to listen to. He started off kinda sounding sane, but as time went on, more of his fringe ideas started showing, culminating to that point.

FWIW if you have a seed box which you can ssh into, you can setup a SOCKS5 proxy to route all traffic through the seed box. It’ll act like a VPN for you and is the best of both worlds in my opinion. This way your ISP and government can’t block your traffic or see that you’re accessing trackers at all (even to get the magnet links).

Did uptobox provide seed boxes for torrenting, or what was the service like?

FWIW this isn’t always true. A few months ago, I needed to add an email to my Zelle account on Chase, and had to call them. I initiated the call and they did issue a text message verification to the phone number in my account while on the phone to confirm.

If I told my boss I have concepts of a plan during an important call with clients, I’d be fired. The fact he said this thinking it would absolve him of having to actually outline actual policy shows how empty the campaign is on anything of substance.

I have great hopes for this meme and hope it is as influential as “binders of women” in showing the absurd thinking behind the most important job in the world.

Now do VHS vs. Beta Max. Better specs don’t always make a better product. This is coming from someone who uses Android, 3 or 4 of the specs I don’t really care about. posts like these just divide us into tribes and that’s not useful for anyone.

Yeah, clearly the author doesn’t know about the Loch Ness monster

They’ve said that they release the source code after it’s running in production:

sorry the source for one of our services was so far behind. We often don’t push source until we release things, and there were a few overlapping releases that happened in that period which made it awkward to push at any moment and put us behind. Additionally, we’ve seen a large increase in spam, and a reluctance to immediately publish the exact anti-spam measures we were responding with to a place where spammers could immediately see them combined with the above to cause this extreme delay.

That’s a bold move cotton, let’s see how that works out for 'em

Does it not have epoch set to 1970-01-01 00:00:00? Or does the PDP-11 only use a non power of 2 number of bits, and you’ve already set the clock back before? Genuinely curious, never heard of 2029 problem before.

Just remember to take off on 2038-01-19

I’ve never heard of an on prem offering, which tier is that on? None of the plans mention it? https://slack.com/pricing

She was 12 years old when she was in Taxi Driver, her breakout role.

I had to manage a Slack migration to another org we were merging with. As the owner, normally I couldn’t even see the names of private channels, but when it came down to the migration, upgrading the account to Business+ tier, the full export included everything (private channels and DMs), which we imported into the new org.

Slack sends notifications to all Admins that the export was happening, and i’ve only seen that notification once after using Slack for 10 years.
