    That reminds me that I still need to clean up and publish my little PoI provider tool. Weird edits on Foursquare can really mess up local data that relies on their database.

    Yeah thankfully each of my checkins stores a snapshot of the venue at the time so at least changes like this don't affect the old checkins. Also I apparently have enough Foursquare superuser privileges that I was able to rename the venue back immediately! :)

    well that was an experience.

    also fun fact: my first electric piano had this as the demo song, and I never actually knew what it was, but that song has been burned into my head from a very young age.

    That was an amazing video! Cheers for buying all of these so we don't have to.

    I tried it myself using two wireless lav mics, you might get a kick out of it: https://youtu.be/iO1aF8-cuD0

    Up late editing. Tell me a joke.

    You can identify when you are done editing the video when you are perfectly happy with it and can't find any mistakes.

    That would be awesome! They did just release the LX100II. I'd totally be down for a LX10II.
    Aaron Parecki
    Maybe they can fix the stabilization while they're at it ๐Ÿ˜‰ And also give it a mic jack.

    I just remembered the Lumix LX10 exists.

    This does not bode well for the countdown ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
    Aaron Parecki
    I'm waiting for the updated version of that! The RX100, G7Xii, and LX10 were all released in 2016, and Sony and Canon just released their updated versions, so LUMIX coming soon...?

    Wow and the hits keep coming.

    Iโ€™ve never had a camera overheat on me before one of my Sony cameras before. And 5 minutes of being off later it still wonโ€™t record.

    The RX100V was recording in 4K too ๐Ÿคฏ
    Aaron Parecki
    oh no that's not good. Mine is coming on Tuesday and I am very excited for it, I hope it doesn't also have this problem!

    I represent the worst position on eating meat which is โ€œI understand itโ€™s very wrong to do it but Iโ€™m too lazy to change my consumption habits at allโ€
    Aaron Parecki
    I'm the complete opposite which is "I've never eaten meat, but I have no personal feelings on it, and Iโ€™m too lazy to change my consumption habits at all"

    But they base64 encoded it, so thatโ€™s OK, right?
    Aaron Parecki
    not even ๐Ÿ˜ญ the variable is called "client_secret"

    and worse, it's a bank

    @aaronpk or that you are shocked when there are no trips in your TripIt queue.

    We need a word for "something that is optional but will break everything if you don't do it so we enforce it anyway". It's a defacto-must of some kind?

    Thanks for the response. I am trying to understand the specifics of the risk involved here. The site itself is HTTPS however the load balancer/proxy infra sometimes redirect to HTTP for the callback URL
    Aaron Parecki
    Everything that the user's browser touches has to be HTTPS.

    Yeah. I think the right model may be to use Postgres or traditional DBs for *most* of the system, and a blockchain for the parts people will fight over.

    So things like upvotes, likes, follower counts โ€” and of course money.

    We havenโ€™t seen systems consciously built this way yet.
    Aaron Parecki
    What I'm saying is I actually don't think a global number of likes on a post is even a good idea. What's more interesting is how many ppl within my own network have liked a post.

    Otherwise we're just mirroring Twitter along with all the negative behaviors that come with it.

    Great q.

    Iโ€™d argue that many social apps make use of global consensus on at least *some* values. Could be upvotes vs user counts.

    If you can get global consensus on one byte, you can run it again to get global consensus on N bytes (possibly with some upper limit on N).
    Aaron Parecki
    And I'd argue that global consensus is unrealistic and unnecessary, and pursuing it comes at the cost of too many other useful properties.

    Local consensus is more useful and easier to achieve, and still results in perfectly functional systems.
