Currently taking #OpenStreetMap off-the-grid with #internetinabox

Involved with @sandstorm. A really cool project for easy #selfhosting, though I'd caution using it for sensitive things at the moment because it's badly out of date, but we're working on it!

What if your halfway-through new prediction comes true?

You have to have a strict rule on how to evaluate predictions or else it's meaningless. But nobody had the focus for that sort of thing. It's hard not to give credit for any sort of prediction.

The only thing that makes sense is betting I guess. Even if it's play money. If you end up on top given all your changes of opinion then your predictions are good.

In April we will be meeting again at Time Out Market!

RSVP if you can, especially if you're new, to make sure we find each other. Reply here, or you can find us below on Zulip or Signal.

If you make a prediction and then change your mind halfway through but your original prediction comes true, do you get credit?

What if you don't tell anyone that you changed your mind?

Have you all seen Matt Friend? I'd have to guess he's the greatest living impressionist, just measuring by raw horsepower. He's in his 20s.

(He's got the best Trump impression out there but the one in this clip isn't the best example.)

I don't think I'll buy another CD but I do rather enjoy buying flac files from Bandcamp. But I can just keep them on a hard drive and transfer it to other hard drives in the future. That's kind of like 3D printing and recycling?

I wonder what to do with my existing CD collection though.

As I'm getting older and wanting to get rid of more junk, I'm wishing that the 3d printing revolution really took off. Not because I want more crap or even want to fix stuff, but because I could magically get rid of more of it to print other things.

It might seem like this leads to valuing items less but it's sort of the opposite. If I could have a small number of things that aren't printed I could value those things more. Instead I'm inundated.

I though "Dow futures" was supposed to be trading after markets close. So why am I always seeing the same number, and graphs that end at EOD Friday?

That said if you asked ME to design the interface? Heh. It would probably be worse.

You'd think Instacart would have a smooth interface after all these years. My elderly parents use this. Honestly props to them for being able to navigate it.

I suppose it's not in the financial interest of these companies to make a useful UI. They have to stick something in your face to sell you something more. (Someone told me that this is probably why Cloud dashboards are so complicated).

But still, how does that explain that I have to do math to figure out how many bananas I'm about to buy?
