What's your stance on "donating" blood plasma? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

If they see it as a scam then they seem to expect certain financial gain from donating. In my opinion this is bad as donating life-saving goods should not be done just for the money.

You can't be scammed if you are doing it for saving lifes (except if they sell the blood to some shady labs instead hospitals).

Why isn't U-Prove more widespread? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I didn't read to much of the FIDO2 spec, so I can't really compare.
But U-Prove can be used for state-issued E-IDs. Is this also possible with FIDO (including dynamically issuing attributes)?

Why isn't U-Prove more widespread? (www.microsoft.com)
 

U-Prove seems to me to be pretty close to a perfect auth system. It is possible to disclose only specific attributes and every prove is unlinkable (given no unique attribute is disclosed). Also it supports generating an unique, identity-linked ID per domain.

So I wonder why this technology is not used anywhere I know of?

Is there a webplatform for searching the items of local shops? in c/[email protected]

Jep, the concept of it looks good.

Interesting. As shown in a comment below, it will be difficult for existing shop operators to integrate such a system.

But if your project gets track I see nothing preventing me to create adapters so my service can consume the stream (well, if I really am going to build it).

How would you implement this with Nostr?

I'm planning to create such a platform as a POC for my masters degree but it will be based on Open Street Map or similar. (so don't worry that I copy your idea ;) )

Lets say I'm in a city and want to buy a specific item or a specific category of items.
It would be nice if there is a website which lists all the items (or at least their more granular categories) of all the local shops in my area.

To be clear, I don't mean an onlineshop; I still want to go there physically. Just something like of a catalogue for all shops in a specific area.

I'm new to Go and wanted to copy some text-data from a stream into the outputstream of the HTTP response. I was copying the data to and from a []byte with a single Read() and Write() call and expexted everything to be copied as the buffer is always the size of the while data. Turns out Read() sometimes fills the whole buffer and sometimes don't.
Now I'm using io.Copy().

Turned out that the bug ocurred randomly. The first tries I just had the "luck" that it only happened when the breakpoints were on.
Fixed it by now btw.

And then the quick hack gets a permanent solution and the next employee has to fight trough the spagetti.
