Always curious, this one.

Blaming "Fancy Bear" or "Strontium" for the information security weaknesses throughout the country does nothing to protect democracy. We must keep ourselves informed, educated. https://sevvie.ltd/infosec/strontium-not-threat-democracy-ignorance-is/

Bonjour! Currently, you can post 15 peeps before needing to sign your posts. With regards to "paying the piper", you will not be paying for every peep; from what I've seen, you only pay for every 15th peep until you reach 50 peeps, at which time you pay once after logging in.

Two thoughts:

1. There might should be an option to disable the hiding of peeps.
2. In the modal thread-view, it should remember the open-closed state of the peep clicked, to prevent opening an entire thread of closed peeps, which one had already opened.

I like this idea. Unfortunately I don't have an old phone to use to set up a vault at the moment. My roommate might; I'll have to ask him when he wakes up and test it out!

I think many of us will continue to think of it as Toshi, even if Coinbase felt the need to pour their branding over it.

Bonjour, Sergey! Welcome to Peepeth!

This is perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the open source world; because the passion to create is its own incentive, we will see growth and evolution one way or another.

Those little tags are very inspirational to me. Many are words I hold dear and try to implement in my life, and seeing them acts as a gentle reminder.

I found another beautiful example of how financial blockchains work. It's a visualization which lets you create transactions and blocks, and mine those blocks onto the chain, as well as demonstrates how transactions existing on a fork are resolved. https://blockchain.nambrot.com

@pluma I added the words "seem to have" to the text. It differs from the video essay, now, but the video cannot be updated without dedicating this computer to hours of re-rendering and little else -- time I do not have.

Erp. I meant to attach this.

Awesomeness. This is absolutely a feature which needs to be adopted for the future of social networking. The ability engage beyond the limits of one's social media silo would be game-changing.

Aye. Thank you for the praise, and the criticism.

There are moments when I "laugh out loud," though they're infrequent. Admittedly, I'm embarrassed by my laugh, though only after the endorphins have faded. I "lol" far more often by my lonesome when reading or watching a video, than I do in a social environment.

Please go back and read the paragraphs surrounding it. I am not addressing her contributions to his suicide without reason; if the tables had been turned, Bourdain would have been scrutinized endlessly for cheating and making public mockery of it on Instagram.

That's not what I said. Now you're misrepresenting me. I said that her actions contributed to his suicide.

I'm not saying she caused his death entirely. But I am certainly not the first to address the topic. https://penthouse.com/pages/asia-argento/Toxic-Femininity.php

The sheer hypocrisy of Asia Argento... She has done to a young man, when he was 17 years old, what she accused Weinstein of doing to her -- and she is silencing him from speaking out as she promotes #MeToo. https://sevvie.ltd/video-essays/metoo-not-theetoo-asia-argento-hypocrisy/

If it helps others better understand this obscure black magic known as non-financial blockchains, then I'm glad to think aloud.

Besides. Peep makes a great rubber duck.

So what do you do, you might ask?

Enumerate possible data structures as types, and in creating the Genesis block, pass in the possibilities ahead-of-time is one option. But this fixes the possibilities at genesis; an update to possible types would require re-genesis mid-chain.

An example of this: the genesis block could be imagined as an Object (in JS parlance) representing birth certificate data. But this would be the only block in the chain which fits this model. Every block following would be a doctor's report containing very different data.

Designing an abstract blockchain factory can be very frustrating, when you want that factory implemented in both statically-typed and untyped languages.

Medical data that would go on a chain is flexible. So the Merkle Tree for a generated chain needs to be very careful.

I've noticed that @Fulcrum has brought a lot of people to the platform. Truly wonderful to see the reach of independent Beltway-outsider journalists.

Welcome to Peepeth, Mr. Heinrichs! I wish I were in a position to make a small donation, but I too find myself stricken with poverty; I write both essays and software freely, asking only donations. But if I find myself able, I will gladly place a tip. <3

@bevan A question about your Kickstarter rewards: are message length rewards only accessible through the crowdfunding campaign? Most of the rewards make sense, but a privilege which allows someone to speak with more detail seems odd.

Reforestation of Borneo orangutan habitats has only barely begun at this point; approximately 10,000 saplings are being nursed by two organizations at this point, but it could be decades before these saplings can provide habitation for the orangutan driven inland.

Your artist is amazing; the shading and depth makes the art jump off your skin in a beautiful way.

Thank you for sharing <3

Welcome to Peepeth! Great to have you <3

Welcome to Peepeth, Danimil!

Welcome to Peepeth! Beautiful prints <3

Venezuela's "Petro" isn't a cryptocurrency. It's hardly even a currency; in fact, it's safe to say that just about everything about it is a lie. https://sevvie.ltd/blockchain/venezuelas-cryptocurrency-neither-crypto-nor-currency/

Thank you so much!

I think I'm just going to spend some time reading today.

Though, knowing myself, "reading" will quickly turn into having a book open, working on a program, and leaving a video playing in the background. >.>

CNN and other media outlets have sued for the names and addresses of jurors in the Manafort trial. After deciding against providing this information, the judge has received threats on his life.

Thank you for this list; I'll most certainly be making use of some of the items on it.

The Wikipedia page you've linked cites two cases which found in Trump's favour, multiple statements in which his remarks have been taken out of context to imply racism, and statements of statistical fact which have been labeled racism.

Besides. A front-end could be made.

Welcome to the Caz-peep!

I might actually be able to get sleep at a reasonable hour! Have a wonderful night, peeples, and be well. <3

StoryBlocks actually. I tend to use it, Pexels, Unsplash and Pixabay.

I found it on a royalty-free photo website.

When did the privacy of corporations come to supercede the privacy, let alone the free expression, of individuals? Why do we defend corporations for doing what we would never allow our government to do?
