Please don't, until burning of fields is strictly outlawed.

Burning of sugarcane to make it easier to harvest is a huge contributor to air pollution in SE Asia. And I believe some places in the US still allow it.


That's a stupid reason to block a user. Just show a warning that your browser is not yet tested.


Indeed. I regularly cross international borders with devices holding the (heavily encrypted) keys to wallets holding 7 figures, but I get nervous at the airport with $4-5 k of cash in my bag.


> I'm sorry but that OS is barely capable of outputting a stable HDMI signal, god help you if you are on a laptop with external monitor.

You may have had particularly bad luck with poorly supported hardware, but I don't think this is a normal experience.

I've been using Linux exclusively on desktops and laptops (with various VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI, and PD-powered DisplayPort-over-USB-C monitors and TVs since 2002 without any unstable behavior or incompatibility.


Most likely. I think laptops are particularly gnarly, especially when they have both an apu and a discrete gpu. While manufacturers use windows' amenities for adding their own drivers and modifications so that they ensure that the OS understands the topology of the hardware (so that the product doesn't get mass RMA'd), there's no such incentive to go out of your way to make Linux support it.


Loads perfectly with Firefox for Android and uBlock.


> Forced MFA for high-value accounts is a good thing.

No. I agree the MFA is big improvement and I use it for many of my accounts, but I still don't want you forcing me to do something "for my own good".

Make it the default or show me scary warnings, but still give me the option to make my own decision in the end. Sometimes, it's okay for convenience to take precedence over security, and the user is the only one who should make that determination.


Rather than bans, all these materials with environmental externalities should be taxed at an appropriate rate. Then the market can find the optimal material for each use case.


This presumes that the process which establishes taxation levels is completely independent of the current profitability and power of those companies involved in their present creation.

The history of negative-externalities-generating industries --- lead, asbestos, tobacco, alcohol, CFCs, amongst others --- suggests that this may not be the case.


As a first-order approximation, yes they're both zero sum in expectation. The amount lost is approximately the amount won in the long run, ignoring casino and insurance company expected profits.

At least that's true for for-profit insurance. When governments get involved, the line may blur between insurance and welfare, making it less zero sum.


They at least used to have free evaluation licenses that were good for a month. Our license was even unlocked for unlimited cores.

I doubt they'd give them out to a random individual or small startup, but maybe still possible for a serious potential customer.


I switched to jmp.chat a few months ago and have been impressed.

You can even pay anonymously with crypto and have multiple numbers using a single app and billing account.


Looks interesting. I got as far as where it asked me to pay them $15, which I'm reluctant to do without first trying out the service. How does one receive a Referral code?


Looks like I have 2 referral codes that give new users a free month, I believe without having to pay anything.

If you reply with a way to send it to you privately, you can have one.


Thanks! Please send one to anonymousiam@zeptodata.net.
