I hate wasting food. Since I live alone, my kitchen is quite low-volume, although I make an effort to pick my groceries so that any waste is compostable; and this gets collected and donated to my mom, who helps neighborhoods setup composters and urban gardens.
From her I've learned that this is almost like religious prosletyzing; some people simply aren't interested in helping and can't be reached, and they'll keep dumping all their garbage into one bin because it's too much trouble for them to separate waste. Beyond the occasional reminder that I'd be happy to help them improve their infrastructure, I don't think it helps to dwell on the issue; efforts are better spent collaborating with people who are already interested.
Just encountering Stacker News, finding my way around and figuring out how to set up lightning wallets has been a challenge. The concepts have been at the edge of my radar for years although the practical steps were all more involved than I expected.
I'm grateful for friends and family who have supported me through various personal difficulties... not the most original of replies, although an important one nonetheless.
Thank you for the disclosure; I don't think "slop" is apt if you put effort into the production and are only using Gemini as a paragraph processor rather than a complete generator.
It's a little early for me to finalize any new year's resolutions; although I think you've picked a good project for your son. I've done lots of origami in my life, and although I was never notable in the origami communities, it was my notoriety at school for a while [fidget spinners weren't a thing, although math teachers got a kick out of seeing a new model appear by the end of each class].
I recommend avoiding dedicated origami paper. If you need squares, teach your son how to cut squares from printer paper. It's both cheaper to buy printer paper in bulk, and mercilessly rewards accuracy early-on. Paper specifically manufactured for origami can be a nice present after he has the skill to make good use of it.
another frontpage post without any comments?
this one is interesting, so maybe your "fix online communities with economics" thing is working; however, I'd hope that people would have interesting comments to add, beyond simply integer ranking deltas...
The timeline for it to become quantum resistant is probably a lot longer than the FUDsters think
... it's also worth noting that "quantum resistance" is, like qbits, not binary. thefts of old coins will raise a deafaning chorus of canaries as quantum resistence becomes relevant, and I'm guessing that the comparatively tiny amounts stored in newer UTXOs will be ignored in the early stages by anyone deploying quantum attacks.
I did a CTRL+F for Bitcoin with zero hits.
You've reminded me of a game I used to play while travelling, when I'd have time to visit bookstores of an airport or train station; I'd find the most specific shelf of English-language non-fiction, and search the indices of the books for mention of Bitcoin (and related terms). One notable offender was a book that I did end up buying, named Signals[1], which to my mind was screaming "buy Bitcoin!" cover-to-cover, except had zero mentions of Bitcoin nor any other cryptocurrency in the entire text. I'm guessing the author of that one (a conventional economist) had probably been working on her book for several years and although she might have encountered Bitcoin in its early years, probably considered it something too new for inclusion in her attempt to build a reputation as an author of general economic advice.
horribly general name, and I'm currently failing to narrow down the noise to an ISBN or author name... stay tuned ↩
there are multiple levels to the problem; it doesn't matter if you try pushing new financial products on a population who psychologically aren't interested in the sort of bargain you're offering.
Thank you, I appreciate that you're keeping this in mind.
I might not have Darth's eloquence nor popularity, although I do have similar levels of derision for people who think they're doing anything "private" while running huge javascript blobs that they don't audit independently... at best, they're putting huge amounts of trust in the vendors and CDNs, and still only winning a finite pseudonymity rather than any sort of ultimate "anonymity".
what do you even mean by "Saylorized" ?
my initial understanding of that neologism seems to be different from how you might have defined it... you seem to mean "won over by his rhetoric", rather than "turned into a likeness of him".
I'd just recommend avoiding this sort of neologism, unless you consciously wish to strengthen the personality cult around someone.
... reflect the way you speak
In some cases I think it's counterproductive; e.g. superscript without any normal text in the same comment is confusing, not to mention hard to read when the normal font is already small.
obviously it is at the edge of "sounds like a you problem", and I don't mean to draw attention away from the good work you're doing on the site.
I wanted to crack a joke about your use of the phrase "other bitcoin founders" as though you're accidentally outing yourself as Satoshi, however, highlighting those words and clicking quote reply didn't copy them into the comment box.
new bug?
in its early stages, it works, will insanely document it
yes, it clipped
why did you use shrunk text?
for folks who wish to learn these black arts, using "quote reply" from the three dots menu reveals that @sox had HTML superscript tags, <sup> and </sup>, enclosing each line separately.
first!

I had an incredibly disturbing dream recently enough that I still remember what was bothersome about it, despite not lingering on it immediately after waking. As tension mounted, I was in some large cafeteria/mess-hall-like space, occupied only by strangers. There was some tricky business afoot of people maneuvering to keep line of sight to tables or people that they were spying on. I stopped focusing on whichever other table had interested me, realising that someone was probably spying on me, and began scanning to figure out about whom I should be worried. I noticed one person rise and anticipated his path towards my table, although as he approached one of the tables between us, someone rose suddenly and began walking obliquely towards my table in a way that blocked the path. Disturbed by the realisation that the politics and alignments mess was much more complicated than I had previously understood, I awoke, deeply disturbed.
there seems to have been some cross-site failure between the redirect patterns of theverge, the archive site's routing, and the link in your post.
The prefix search[1] of AI articles from theverge shows that someone other than myself already tried archiving the article[2] separately from you, and the few redirects that might have also been from stackers chasing the link for related articles, author information, and advertisements for tearing off a case of the mondays.... this comment is pointless, and zapping yours has failed, so chasing SN bugs will probably prove more profitable than spending more nanopayments filling the site's logs with failed zaps[3].
I tried a really general one, first, as obviously it's interesting to get an idea for whether the publisher talks much about specific providers, or has published some press release sporadically: https://archive.is/https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/* ↩

[...] and it all starts with three letters: MCP.
I do hope some human copywriter had fun imagining how some competing automation might cope; three Roman letters is awfully concise for triggering anything useful from the loss leaders, even when their MCP frames include the history of MCP.
well it really pissed me off; I skim the frontpage, thinking of things like "what would spez do, if this were still his project and I got hired because Aaron Schwartz wandered off", and saw zero comments, an ignorable statice of the zap leaders, and it was literally the last post before the "More" button, so I had to either ignore it or let the frontpage talk.
Welcome!
It's nice to encounter Bitcoin with the Lightning Network already in existence... please keep in mind that there are lots of different personalities here, different people have different ways of using the site. There was an old humorous post I came across recently that described a few dozen different stereotypes, although I can't find it right now... maybe one of the veterans has it bookmarked.
