This is great. I do watch my Dexcom on my Apple Watch, but there's times I just want the number, ASAP. I was hoping it'd talk about eliminating the need for the iOS app ("...where he shouldn’t have to run around with a phone strapped to him...") but it sounds like it's just not possible to avoid at least periodic polling.

Reading through the product development, I'm curious why you didn't use a dev kit like the Pine Time? (https://pine64.org/devices/pinetime/) I bought one a few years ago and it's just been sitting in the box, waiting for a project to build on it. I may take a stab at something similar.

The G7 pairs directly with an Apple Watch and acts as the primary sync device. Unlike the G6, you don’t get null readings displaying on the watch until you open the app. I have the dexcom widget on my Apple Watch series 10 with a G7 paired with direct to watch and it always displays the current reading

32gb RAM max?

I don't understand, macbooks on battery power have 128gb, why this limitation on an always powered device

nknealk · 10 months ago

I believe it’s a limitation of the memory controller on the M4 chip. It can only address 32 gb of ram. Addressing more ram would require more die space

nknealk commented on Ask HN: Do you track how your email address is used? · Posted by u/themingus

I use iCloud’s Hide my Email feature. So I have dozen email addresses and I receive email in the same inbox. I don’t care how my email addresses are used. The moment I see too much spam, I remove the email address.

I love this feature in Apple’s ecosystem so much. The newer iOS and iPadOS releases when autofilling a sign-up form even give an option to generate a new hide my email address. It’s effortless to not use your real email. If you pay for an iCloud subscription, hide my email is included. Apple tracks what site you used hide my email on when signing up and allows you to toggle forwarding of emails to your inbox on and off.

Savage.

I wonder if we’ll see a resurgence of cloud game streaming

I am a python developer who has been envious of modern application dev frameworks & typescript, but never had the time to invest in another stack. This is so exciting. I suspect this might be catalyst that empowers more people to ship stuff

Take a look at streamlit as well. It’s got a few weird sharp edges but is really easy to pick up

It's basically the new flu shot, and probably will be for a very long time yet. I'm not so concerned about that but I do wonder when the next disease (bird flu?) will come along and we'll get another annual shot... and another...

nknealk · a year ago

It’s worth noting that companies are testing flu + COVID vaccines as an all in one shot. I think most people don’t want to come to their pharmacy for multiple jabs.

> Although the FBI says Lin tried to swap his bitcoins for harder-to-trace monero before cashing out the cryptocurrency at an exchange, the criminal complaint points to timing and amount correlations that nonetheless allowed the FBI to follow his funds to a crypto exchange where he allegedly liquidated the dirty funds. That exchange account, too, was registered in Lin's real name, according to the DOJ.

almost, but he did it backwards.

always swap to monero with new clean funds straight from an exchange, let it sit in Monero for a week, and then swap to new unseen addresses, in several different amounts than you initially sent. This thwarts the timing attacks.

additionally, either access the nodes you are using via TOR, or only access nodes with Onion addresses

use the funds in the previously unseen addresses to buy goods and services such as your domain names and other things

just completely segregate them in their own subnet of addresses unlinked from anything besides the swap/mixer

everyone has nearly infinite addresses on every blockchain, there's no reason not to do this, there's no rush and transaction fees have dropped as block space has improved

Is this more safe or less safe than laundering cash the old fashioned way?

Jokes aside, it’s incredible that the FBI could still attribute transactions
