Giving access to "my bank account", which I take to mean one's primary account, feels like high risk for relatively low upside. It's easy to open a new bank (or pseudo-bank) account, so you can isolate the spend and set a budget or daily allowance (by sending it funds daily). Some newer payment platforms will let you setup multiple cards and set a separate policy on each one.

An additional benefit of isolating the account is it would help to limit damage if it gets frozen and cancelled. There's a non-zero chance your bot-controlled account gets flagged for "unusual activity".

I can appreciate there's also very high risk in giving your bot access to services like email, but I can at least see the high upside to thrillseeking Claw users. Creating a separate, dedicated, mail account would ruin many automation use cases. It matters when a contact receives an email from an account they've never seen before. In contrast, Amazon will happily accept money from a new bank account as long as it can go through the verification process. Bank accounts are basically fungible commodities, can easily be switched as long as you have a mechanism to keep working capital available.

I would use https://www.privacy.com virtual card with a spending limit. Getting closer to making this easy https://xkcd.com/576/.

Could you build this in to a decoder? A hidden message within the white noise and this filters to one or more frequencies?

Once Kagi implements location aware search that is actually useful I’ll be interested in Kagi. That’s what made me leave the engine besides loving it otherwise.

If you go to maps.kagi.com and in allow access to your location local results should be better. If it doesnt ask for access to your location there is a small icon on bottom right hand side that shows if it has access.

Personally, I found the perfect keyboard in Ergodox [0][1]. Ortholinear, split, programmable (and open-source) keyboard with hot-swappable switches.

I've had my Ergodox EZ [2] for ~7 years now. The biggest problem that happened was that some of the switches started malfunctioning - fixing which was a matter of literally 5 minutes.

I don't think I would want to go back to non-split, non-ortholinear keyboards nowadays. 00Key looks cool though, that's for sure! :)

I backed ergodox-ez on indiegogo in 2016. I moved to the moonlander mostly for the built in wrist pads. support has been amazing. I just got a replacement for a cracked piece of plastic that I can repair myself. https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/teardown

The thing I like most is the split and I have customized the layout to my working style. I really should learn to use layers or try some of the "hacks" https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/printables.

I wrote a tool for work that does the same thing based on request logs. It would parse each line into a structure then merge the same call point structures down to one spec. It was helpful to see the api but in the end was not that helpful in back filling the openapi spec.

things to consider: - junk data from users will show up. unless your downstream service rejects extra params users will mess with you. - it documents each endpoint but its harder to say if this "user" data is the same as another's endpoints "user" - it is hard to tell if users are hitting all endpoint inputs/outputs without manual review.

Why are businesses no longer accepting cash? What are the positives and negatives for businesses?

What are the positives and negatives of accepting cash for businesses? Other then 6 million people across the united states cannot buy from your shop.

I can guess at reasons for both but I do not run a business.

I haven't used twillo since 2014 and I don't use twillo at company. I have recently tried to use it for my own projects and I have not had a good time with the product. I was able to set things up fine with the docs but the ui and the support didn't seem to understand the hobbyist concept. I could not get my number registered for texting again and support did not care. Example: I cant release the number I have because it has an emergency address I need to remove. I cant find the ui to remove the address. I can only add address. While the ui banner says "Please add an emergency address to this phone number or you may incure a $75.00 charge per emergency call."

I am just waiting for my minimum required balance to be eating up by fees i dont understand. I have moved on to a chat service. I wish them luck moving forward.

Why would you keep photos in a zip file? Are they uncompressed RAW or something?

Anyway, you could try using something like https://bitbucket.org/agalanin/fuse-zip/src/master/

To mount the zip file and then use any tool you want to operate on the files?

sbeckeriv · 3 years ago
Why would I want to unzip them? I got them zipped from google photos takeout. The folder structure inside is not something i would browse.

I will look at the mount option. Thank you for you suggestion!
