EoP - Ethernet over Power

0% of the time it works because I shut that shit off the first minute I saw it

Maybe they just don’t have AI commenting like reddit does?

I checked it out. It’s not a ghost town, but I feel like there is less activity than on federated platforms. It doesnt have the critical number of people talking about stuff to be interesting and actually result in dialog.

Even 0.01% of a businesses shares in volume in the span of a 1 minute order is enough to massively swing the price. I saw it multiple times in after hours trading when I let my options ride for the day.

I generally do too. But then you’re also at the mercy of whether the site was designed with even the most basic of security in mind. Luckily the password managers all generate unique passwords so one site getting hacked and plaintext passwords stolen won’t get my bank info put at risk - but still.

People didn’t listen to Einstein because he had money - he didn’t. He just had good ideas. People didn’t listen to Curie for her money. She had none. People only listen to Theil because he has enough money to be scary. They obviously think his ideas are fart sniffing.

Honestly I thought it was great when OAuth started making it easy to use my various pre-existing IDs as logins for websites. But now I cant remember which one is which and my password manager doesn’t give me any hints. Sigh.

This could be the basis for an SCP. It’s a pizza so foul that it literally kills anyone who considers eating it.

Meh. I think quantum computers are technological hocuspocus that is used as justification for companies like D-Wave to generate billions of dollars for a few financial executives. The science is real. The engineering is real. The technology is a toy and its uses are extraordinarily limited and out-competed by normal computers.

Can it optimally solve the travelling salesman problem? Sure. With many thousands of bits. Can a classical computer with a fancy algorithm get close enough for practical use cases? Yes. With today’s technology and enough power to run an old lightbulb.

AFAIK quantum computing’s only demonstrations of being able to break encryption using Shore’s algorithm was in a toy problem where they already knew the answer and it was like 5 bits long and satisfied a particularly easy pattern. I’ll be impressed when it can break 192-bit encryption with proper entropy.

Look at Tesla. The intrinsic value was no more than 10 billion before he started sieg heiling on national TV and alienated half of the western world.

My conspiracy theory is that Musk gave multiple investors billions of his personal cash to invest in Tesla stock at key moments. He tells his straw purchasers when to buy hundreds of millions worth of stock in order to pump the price and kill those who short the stock. This scares the shorters out of the market and ultimately removes a natural source of downward pressure on the price. They sell off what they purchase all at once relatively slowly so they can then do it again.

Just store the JSON in a sqlite table with an extra column or two for commonly indexed stuff…?

You can pry sqlite out of my cold dead hands. Because I’ll probably die while using it out of frustration due to the poor performance of triggers.

Or a link to a thread on microsoft answers that 404s

Apple definitely punishes you for using Tidal on CarPlay. It’s bullshit. Plug in your phone while listening to music and the app goes into limbo for 45 seconds while Apple Music decides it is in charge.

Integration is the big one. Spotify is built into nearly every smart device. Phone? Spotify. Smart speakers? Spotify. Alexa spy puck? Spotify. Cars? Spotify. Even my hifi system has built in spotify.

I want to use different services. Right now I’m using Tidal, which is only integrated with my speakers and phone - not my car. Hell, they don’t even make a proper app for my computer.

This is so needed. I’m so tired of all the middlemen.

VISA and Mastercard are gonna put a hit out on that network though

What was that? I was busy installing a package in my node.js cluster to convert the first letter in a sentence to uppercase.

I’ve been using a debian based system for a dozen years. Then I decided to buy a NAS and turn it into a NixOS driven media server.

JFC I thought I knew linux and I was so wrong.
