CyanDeparture commented on Coinbase warns that bankruptcy could wipe out user funds   fortune.com/2022/05/11/co... · Posted by u/okasaki

If you only hold bitcoin that wallet would work, another popular one is electrum. If you want to store multiple coins in one application then Exodus or Atomic would be two good choices. You're looking for a non-custodial wallet and as always, protect your keys to protect your coins, you are the bank at this point.

It's just bitcoin I'm storing, is that one I've linked to above a non-custodial wallet or a custodial wallet?

Can anyone tell me how to set up a wallet on my Mac in order to get my coins off coinbase. Is there any clear guide on how to do that. Every link on Google seems to be spam or downloading potentially malicious software.

It's very fustrating because so many people seem to know how to set up a wallet on their computer/Mac however I cannot for the life of me find a clear wallet to download and move my funds to or a guide on how to do it.

If I downloaded this - https://bitcoin.org/en/download - is that a way to do it? I can't download this in the UK, so is it safe to download it via a VPN and install it that way?

Thank you so much to anyone who sees this and replies.

One massive I'd add to this list that got added recently - being able to copy and paste text out of images. I'm so often sent a screenshot with a url in the url bar, I can now copy and paste that screenshot of a url. It's been massively the past month since I noticed it. Not sure how long it's been there, I assume not long, maybe last OS update.

Looks great! Two things you could do to make it super smooth is speed up the animation by about two thirds, and make it so one book is put back before the second one gets animated outwards.

Reminds me of the time I didn't go into do-no-disturb on a screenshare, I got four messages off my other half in quick succession:

"You didn't defrost the pie."

"I can't find anything else good to eat."

"We're going to have to take your parents for fried chicken again."

"FFS, I've fallen over the cat into the clothes dryer."

Just spin up a Rails app, pop on a Postgres DB, tailwind CSS, job done.

(Only half joking.)

I'm not sure I agree with most of these, it's not the way I'd go about them, but also I don't see what I do in the comments so I'll add my own hopefully unique perspective here. For example with:

"you are overcomplicating this"

I would put it in the 3rd person or include myself in the problem, and I would apologise at the start for saying something negative, so I would say for example:

"Sorry, but I think we're overcomplicating this, what do we think about the following idea..."

I've found that works fantastically because I'm sort of saying I'm wrong or have caused an issue (I haven't) and they're included in my suggested solution (they're not really) so it makes a great way to change peoples minds (if you don't mind pretending you're having a bad idea too and giving them credit for yours).

I apply this to everything and it works great. You get a lot of people taking credit for your good ideas, but I don't mind if it means the solution is better.

I don't use a lot of emojis privately but I especially do not use them in a professional environment. I think one of the reasons being that I dislike the aesthetics, which plays into another reason, which is that they "feel" unprofessional. (Although there is probably nothing inherently unprofessional to them, it's basically just a novel way of communicating).

The blog post mentions increased interpretability and adaptability but I think making emojis more professional and aesthetically pleasing "in a professional setting" might be a big step as well.

To play devil's advocate (?), I use them all the time at work, I could argue that it makes me more efficient. Easier to react with a thumb emoji and grinning emoji than than saying "thank you very much for that". However if I argue that it's not strictly true, I use them because they're quick yes, but I also thin they're fun too.

Edit - In the (?) I put a goblin and clipboard emoji to represent 'devil's advocate' but it got stripped out, if you were wondering what that was.

OMG, that substack is fantastic, thank you for that, I've spent the past hour or so reading it - on the most popular emojis observable atm - https://observablehq.com/@jenniferdaniel/unicode-emoji-mirro... - which is fascinating.
CyanDeparture commented on Tell HN: Facebook is blocking the publiccode.eu open letter initiative as spam    · Posted by u/dusted

Facebook is fighting against the "huge target on its back" effect. The bigger of an audience you are, the more interest there is in posting abusive content, whether it's spam, trolling, or something else.

The result is usually that you end up digging a bigger and bigger moat around your submission and curation process, so that your service is not completely flooded with crap.

I think this is what you are seeing here, rather than censorship of this specific link or cause.

I once posted a URL to a forum site I was developing for a community to Facebook, and somehow it set off the spam detector. For the next several months, I would get regular notices that a comment I left on another group's discussion was marked as spam, and was not visible to anyone else. I was posting regular comments, without links, apolitical, not critical of anyone, just adding to the discussion.

The notices have since stopped, but I still rarely get any response to my comments, and anything I post to my profile's feed usually gets "ignored" completely, while in the past I'd get a pretty stable number of likes from friends (in the low double digits or high single digits.)

As someone who has moderated a decent size sub-reddit in the past, I understand that there's no malicious intent on Facebook's part in this. They are just so much bigger than this one individual that they simply cannot see me, the same way I cannot see a bacteria, and may not notice a tiny gnat.

Totally agree. You're describing Hanlon's razor. No malace behind blocking it, just a result of incompetence.
