  • Let me preface this by saying I'm pretty anticapitalist, but I think the idea is that you create a new product or expand into a new industry. You can maintain growth for a long time that way.

  • There is one "inherent use" (if I'm understanding that term correctly) of bitcoin, and that's to pay for space in blocks. Again, that only gives bitcoin value if people want to use bitcoin, so take that as you will.

  • So... That isn't exactly true. You're correct that there's a limit to the total and circulating number of coins, but if the world suddenly decides 1 BTC = US$0, it doesn't matter if there are less coins tomorrow than today. Both days, each coin is still worth zero.

    All that to say, there's no guarantee that a bitcoin's value will increase over time.

  • I'm not claiming that it was "intuitive", just that the browser did tell the user exactly what the add-on was allowed to do. Sure, Chrome and Firefox deserve some blame for not making the warning more explicit/dire, but they did make an attempt. Overwriting cookies and rewriting affiliate links are subsets of "access your data".

    Also, I'm not claiming that I knew exactly what Honey was doing, just that I suspected it was shady and recommended no one use it.

  • It wasn't "uncovered" though. This is their business model. I've told every person I know using Honey for years that it's a shady extension and they should stop using it. Unfortunately I don't have a huge following to offset Honey's massive ad spend.

    I'm not calling anyone stupid, but stop treating this like it's new information. Your browser warned you this might happen when you installed the extension:

  • The fact that it must be collected at all is the problem. I have very little faith that the government will actually choose a privacy preserving solution, and even if they do, I doubt it'll be implemented perfectly.

    Bill s-210: Watch porn? This bill will put you on a list.

    The House of Commons is days from passing Bill S-210, a dangerously broad age verification bill that would put an age lock on most of Canada's Internet and threaten every Canadian’s privacy.

    Anyone running Pathfinder Society (or other tabletop RPGs?)

    Hey Ottawa! Bit of a long shot, but does anyone here know of a Pathfinder Society playgroup in town? I'd love to find one to join. Thanks!

    Mk3s+ fails part way through detailed prints

    Hey !prusa, maybe you can help me. I have a self-assembled Mk3s+ that I put together about a year ago, but never really used because of the following problem.

    If I print on draft quality, it makes it through most prints. I've printed a dozen cubes, several brackets, and some other odds and ends.

    If I try to print on higher detail settings, however, it behaves very strangely. Most often it'll just hang, and keep oozing out more plastic. Once in a while, the steppers will keep turning and ram the bed or print head against the ends of their tracks.

    I've tried updating and downgrading the firmware, different SD cards, etc. to no avail. Support hasn't been much help either.

    Any ideas?

    Education minister believes “parents must be fully involved” if their child chooses to use a different pronoun at school

    Ontario’s education minister said he believes “parents must be fully involved” if their child chooses to use a different pronoun at school.

    The comments were made at a news conference on Monday morning, where Stephen Lecce was outlining the changes students and parents can expect at Ontario schools come September.

    They also come as Saskatchewan adopts a new gender and pronoun policy, joining New Brunswick in legislating parental consent for students under the age of 16 who want to change their given names and/or pronouns at school.

    “I think we understand though that parents must be fully involved and fully aware of what's happening in the life of their children,” Lecce said.

    “I mean, often there are health implications, and I think we have to respect the rights of parents and recognize that these can be life-changing decisions, and I think parents want to be involved so that they can support their kids. And I think that's a really important principle that we must uphold.
