Isn't this public information anywy?
It's malinformation—true but inconvenient for the ruling class and therefore to be suppressed.

It was a masterpiece. Apple deleting Dark Sky something I will never forgive them for. Maybe not enough to make me switch phones, but enough to make me look elsewhere when needing peripheral items.
The statement that Dark Sky features were incorporated into the native weather app was an insult.
I know I sound dramatic talking about a weather app, but it was in a class of its own and nothing else is remotely comparable.
I feel like I lost a friend that I consulted with daily.
I still haven't forgiven Apple for killing off Aperture.
To date nothing has come close to Aperture's seamless blending of image organizing, editing, and metadata enrichment. I'm not holding my breath that an app that feels like DarkSky will ever come along.
Stubb commented on Poll: How much time on average do you exercise in a week? · Posted by u/Victerius
We moved into a new house seven years ago and turned half the basement into a home gym to combine with working from home. During the week, I'll stretch for 5–10 minutes after waking up, do ~20 minutes of light exercise at lunch, and more serious exercise after work (could be a bike ride, kettlebell/bodyweight exercises, running, etc.). After-work exercise varies depending on energy/recovery. Getting a standing desk was also a nice addition. Weekends we'll go for a longer bike ride one day and do something outside but lower intensity the other.

I've historically spent all my days SSH'd into a remote server in a screen/tmux session writing code in vim and doing various admin/db tasks.
Recently I started using vscode with the remote-ssh plugin and it has surprisingly been a pleasant experience. I have an integrated terminal to the remote box and I have full intellisense for coding (I do 80% coding / 20% admin, probably).
It took a gestalt flip for me to realize that with this plugin installed, vscode is basically a very (very) fancy terminal emulator.
Only problems I've encountered so far are if you paste large strings or quickly scroll through your bash history, sometimes characters will drop from the strings. Also, sometimes you have to reload the window because intellisense stops working because it seems like the language server installed on the remote box stops working.
Coming from remote development Emacs TRAMP, vscode + remote-ssh mercifully removed the cognitive load of dealing with Emacs. Not only do you not have to manually install & configure everything, vscode will tell you what you need and give you a working installation automatically.

But at least gold has some inherent value, crypto is just math that is worth whatever the buyers/sellers think it should be. Stock in a company that stays in business will never go to zero as the company always has some value due to having revenue, but crypto has no real world floor (though unlikely to actually get to zero since someone will always buy).
The value of crypto is the access to the underlying network, which lets the users of that network transfer a known supply of tokens in a manner that's not forgeable, repudiable, confiscable, etc. or reliant on the permission of outside authorities. Final settlement takes an hour. It's worth whatever people will pay for that access.
