Tl;DR: no identification is made in the article. No evidence is brought forward. A claim is made that multidimensional analysis of Satoshi's word choices was correlated against PRISM intel take.
Directions-as-objects seems to be a common pattern. LambdaCore does the same thing, though LambdaMOO later added a Generic Detailed Room with basic support for directions, so a separate object wasn't required. (Anything more sophisticated than "go west" still requires a separate door object.)

In addition to missing checks causing unexpected interactions, this approach also has the problem that the two ends can become asymmetrical, causing confusion (though this may be desired e.g. in the case of a trap-door). In the case of LambdaMOO, there's an entry northwest from the living room to the kitchen, but no corresponding entry southeast in the other direction!
I'm confident that's what it is. Not only have I read other articles from that site in the past, the author's closing paragraph is in a similar tone:

> I know that the "free range kids" and "unschooling" folks tend to be weirdo cultists. But maybe there is something to their schtick.

Note that the word "schtick" is linked to a tweet[1] by the author's personal Twitter account.

A lot of newer products use existing hardware platforms (esp. from startups) to get around FCC requirements. I had a look at the more detailed technical demo and it clearly looks like it adds a lot of value.
Interesting point! Given the tools we have now to analyze corpus, I bet you could track the birth of memes - especially with an eye towards the question you posed.
This and it's devaluation proof with a fixed maximum circulation of 21 million coins.
It's barely worth it. There is a marginal improvement from breast milk but it's not strong enough to justify the level of breast milk promotion over formula.
Agreed. Their cost is outrageous really. I've looked at just doing it for our small team of about 20, and I'm not paying that much per month.
Men can do almost everything associated with the traditional gender role of motherhood, save gestation and breastfeeding. And if any man actually wanted to do those things, we'd be working on the technology I'm sure.

It's not clear to me why you are picking at the mechanics here. Are you arguing a different study that shows the same thing should be substituted?

Because it's my understanding that the evidence shows a breastmilk->IQ correlation as well as all the other health benefits [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breastfeeding#Baby]
So you've just advocated literal trickle-down economics here.

You are aware of the historical/empirical problems with it, yes?
>Without net neutrality, you might not have an audience in the first place.

DNS can be, and was, taken away without any due legal process. That was my wake up call. Google cloud is registering domains and has that control over it.

When it comes to dire situations, if my ISP does funny business, I can choose another ISP e.g. a mobile connection.

No different than taking another road to go to the bank. My account and money in there is still safe.

If the bank take away my account without due legal process, does it matter if the roads to get to the bank were traffic/pothole/toll free?

For a YouTube content creator, who spent years building brand and audience, one fine day to wake up and have videos demonetized and/or account suspended is like bank terminating your account without giving you a dime from your account. With bank, you can get government/FDIC engaged, with YouTube, they are the Gods of that universe.

>And as for your analogy, no. It's like renting a paper notebook,

Paying account holders of g-suite apps from google, faced account termination with no cause, no access to videos/files/emails. This is digital violence and much bigger threat that has materialized, and is far greater than NN.

If terms of service are enough to allow Google doing what it does, why can't Comcast do the same with their terms of service?

I didn't know it was that easy to do. Don't tell Comcast, please. They would be delighted to hear that terms of service is all it took to convince you to override NN.

You are renting their cable and ability to send traffic over their infrastructure, aren't you? How is cable infrastructure renting different than DNS/Video-site/email renting?

Right -- and isn't massively energy inefficient? I think I saw an article crop up here recently that said a processing a single BTC transaction uses something like 5.8 times as much energy as the median US household uses in a day.

Why would banks do something so monumentally wasteful when they can trust each other?
Long story short, the author claims he has a reliable source from DHS who has told him NSA knows who Satoshi is (they used stylometry to find out his/her identity). The source is not revealed and there is no other evidence either.

Introspected REST: An alternative to REST and GraphQL
Leveraging blockchain as a distributed ledger is hardly "rolling out cryptocurrencies".
I'm not sure what your point is. Men already become parents all the time. And it's true that motherhood and fatherhood are very important jobs that collectively we really should not be trying to "escape" from. I'm pretty sure the whole point of the push for paternity leave is to let people embrace these roles rather than run away from them.
Hi, author here.

Introspected REST is a new model for evolvable networked services. It's an alternative to Roy's REST (and GraphQL).

In youtube there is a related talk I had given about a year ago called "Sliding away from Roy's REST model". At that time I hadn't figured out ALL the details about this new model but only the general idea, just mentioning that in case you bump on it.

Please take your time and take a look at it, it's the first time that I share it to the world and any feedback is welcome, here or in Github. It's around 50 pages of text so I understand if it takes you a while..

The reason I spend so much time in explaining REST is because we first need to understand what REST brings into table and what leaves out of the table, before proposing a new model. I hope I make these clear in the text. To be honest I think not many API designers really understand what REST is, unfortunately, that's why a lot of time is spent on that. People think that adding some hypermedia through links or even actions makes your API RESTful. And I am not telling that from the point of view "your API is not REST!" but to the other side of people, the ones who yield that. In fact, a truly REST API is quite complex. After all, REST is out there 20 years not but our APIs are still not truly evolvable and self-described so maybe the problem is somewhere else..

Maybe the text can be improved a bit (maybe explain a bit more the HATEOAS decoupled from REST), but I am very tired with it, mentally. Even proof-reading it takes a couple of hours. I think it's better to take a longer break now and to work on it again later with a clearer mind and after I gather some initial feedback, plus, other people can contribute as well. The idea is to lock the text in 1-2 years from now and publish it in introspected.rest domain.

Not sure what this text is or should, a publication, an article, a manuscript, a thesis or an antithesis. I name it a "manifesto" because I want, when API designers differentiate from Roy's REST and conventional API architectures, to have for them something to stand on, to feel that there is an actual community that supports them and embrace their decisions that break existing "best practices" and move towards Introspected REST.

That's an interesting hypothesis you have there. It would be a shame if someone validated it.

Seriously, though, if anyone is aware of a paper that deals with this or a closely related idea, I'd love to read it.
Good point, you are right. I tried now but it becomes marked as a duplicate of this post.
lol. they point to a bank of England, non peer reviewed, paper that suggest a distributed ledger system which the bank can control the value and supply via policies.

that's the exact opposite of how a distributed ledger should work.

Someone else beat me to the joke of "turtles all the way down", but that's mostly it.

I'll first refer to this Twitter thread:
https://twitter.com/JEG2/status/902534133427134465

Now, the reasoning is: if you pass everything down, then things get interesting to reason about. Given a state to a component, it will always render the same way (give or take, local state and all). That is only true if you reason about children components as implementation details of the parent. That is, if a parent component renders a child one, and the child needs a prop, the parent should have that prop too.

Otherwise, you could render the parent 6 times with the same props and get 6 times a different result based on some undefined (at the parent level) magical global side effect.

Doing it this way makes your component tree essentially fractal: at any point you could detach an arbitrary component, put it in a library, and use it in another app: there's no assumption. Any part of the app is in itself a small app.

Now, the main issues is the boilerplate of typing it all out (which is minimized if you use a single "model" object at every level and either pass it as a whole, or a smaller part of it, to any child): if you use regular props for every value, you'll have top level components with 100+ props.

The other issue is maintenance. What happens when you move things around. That part really begs for a type system. Use Flow or TypeScript, and just let the compiler bark at you. When the compiler is done barking, you're done fixing, and you have a full statically checked view of your model dependencies. That's awesome!

The rest is mostly cultural. At which point does a developer throw their arm in the air and say "I don't want to do this!". A few months back, Jordan Walke did an Ask Me Anything on Discord where he said he had a pretty high tolerance for passing stuff down manually. I assume that explains some design decisions in React (eg: like how context was not a first class citizen earlier on), but I don't want to put words in his mouth.

For an example of this concept, look at Elm, where that's the primary way to build things. A fully fractal architecture where models come from the top and get passed all the way down to all the turtles. The way you build your model changes a bit (in apps Ive seen, it's more of a mirror of the component hierarchy, and less of a conceptual, normalized model), but boilerplate isn't that bad. Higher than the typical React/Redux dev will tolerate, which itself is higher than what most web devs will...but people who do it generally end up with very high quality apps that are trivial to maintain.
A more modern take would have had Ford give you the junk mail at the pub if you didn't pick it up yourself.

Post on another site then, or post it on your site.

But it doesn't have the audience you'd argue, well that's how new sites gain popularity, because things are seen/said there that exist no where else. And as far as audience goes, the controlled content argument is not new, we've had that for years with TV networks/channels in terms of who had a platform and what entertainment you had to select from.

To take it further, something like YouTube was just cable public access television taken to an extreme. Now YouTube wants to be mainstreamish, so they're largely doing what MTV, or History Channel did in the late 90's, taking off or downplaying the unique niche content that got them noticed and people originally went there for and promoting the mainstream "reality" shows, etc.

Yes, this is the case, yes, this is the natural progression of things when sites become more mainstream, corporate, and focused on revenue (especially advertiser revenue). But this also leaves an opening for someone else to provide a platform for what is lost to go to. YouTube funny enough replaced MTV as the go to to watch music videos, so in a way I guess it was good MTV had a bunch of high rating low common denominator appeal reality shows to lean on when that happened.

The beauty of the Internet is that there will always be the sub-communities and places for people to go to who have other non-mainstream interests or views. FB, Google, etc are now mainstream, but largely that's because they're replacing the media people used to consume over legacy platforms like TV and Radio.

No. I added the new names.
One thing I hate is when apps do this to get information about your contacts, not only because they get who you personally know (and their phone number, email, other info in the contact) but also contacts for businesses you regularly might interact with, meaning they can potentially create a pretty detailed web of your life.

For example, it's a dark pattern when you use Messenger, at least on iOS, for the first time and it says "Upload your contacts to find friends" with an "OK" button or "Learn More" button, and only after you click "Learn More" can you ignore it. WhatsApp does something worse; you can't initialize a message with anyone without allowing contacts, and the only way to add a contact is thru the phone app (the web app definitely doesn't, and I'm pretty certain the desktop app doesn't have the functionality to add a contact). I have to go thru great pains to prevent WhatsApp from getting my contact info, just to be able to add a new friend (turn off iCloud contacts, enable WhatsApp to see my contacts, then add the contact). Maybe I am paranoid, but I really, really want Facebook to only have the information I give it, and I don't trust WhatsApp at all. At least WhatsApp encrypts the messages.

I really hate this pattern in apps, and I wish there was some way to give it some kind of "blank canvas" without any real contacts in it. Thankfully apps don't lock you completely out if you don't provide contact info, yet, but I fear it may happen soon.

I doubt they will include the same mining consensus rules. in other words, nothing different than what they have today + buzzwords.
Well, if you do that with 3 parties A, B and C. You have to trust everyone with access to exchange funds that they won't cooperate against you.

With blockchains, you can check if they're cooperating against you. You may even be able to prove it later in a court of law, which sounds useful.

Another big plus seems to be that it replaces 1950s era systems in most countries that, at least partially, rely on humans in the transaction feed. They also require trust, and trust requires approval in these organisations (because it has been abused before, usually by the people now approving it, who are still abusing it, but that's beside the point).

In order to avoid this banks have a ton of 1:1 relationships that are sometimes fully, sometimes partially automated and this can really be an n:n system if it's under the control of the central bank.

Inflation is very hard to truly understand and track:

- Monetary inflation and price inflation are different things. Right now we have unprecedented monetary inflation in terms of base money, but almost no price inflation.

- Price inflation is always a very non-linear function of its drivers.

- Price inflation also doesn't have to be uniform. Some people would argue that the monetary measures taken after the financial crisis have already led to price inflation, namely price inflation of financial assets such as bonds and stocks. In this view, the money has been sloshing around the world as excess liquidity, being passed on like a hot potato that nobody wants to hold, propping up new bubbles but without leaving the financial system.

- A simple quantity theory of money may not apply because we live in a complex credit based system. Base money is just a liability of the central bank. We don't pay and save much in base money, we pay and save mostly using liabilities of private banks. As long as the increases in base money don't trigger increases in these broader forms of money and credit (this is what it means when they say "the transmission mechanism has broken down" or "the velocity of money is too low"), we shouldn't normally expect any direct impact of base money increases on price inflation.

About bitcoin: any healthy, advancing economy running mostly on actual bitcoins as a medium of exchange would probably see price deflation in terms of bitcoin. If we were to have technological progress like we had the last 50 years, the price deflation would probably be unprecedented. But if we could manage to piramid ever increasing amounts of credit on top of actual bitcoins and pay and save mostly in those credits, probably not so much :-)

I think you're too focused on the technical side of things. If your target can be breached with an intern's hobby projects, why not breach your target with an interns hobby project?

That means you have more money to spend on analyst, translators, future operations, etc. You only start developing more capabilities if your targets need more capabilities.

Many important targets today are still being breached by a bunch of office macro's that have been around for ages. Still works, still yields desired results, no need for a passive global adversary or a l33t 0day.
I'm not sure. Historically, Indian governments have been most undeserving of our taxes simply because they've misspent it and/or misdirected it to achieve their own means (corruption, buying votes etc). Saying "yes but this government is different" also doesn't hold water when you look at the massive farm loan waivers that were just granted, and more waivers are on their way. How do you think the waivers were funded? Through our hard-earned tax money. Who do you think the debtors will now vote for in the next election cycle? The current ruling political party ofcourse.

Finally, there are a lot of disadvantages for being on a completely centralized digital payment platform from an individual liberty point of view. Imagine that a significant portion of your net worth is just a number stored in a "secure database" which falls under the jurisdiction of some government. Now image that you vocally disagree with the government's policies enough for the government to start taking notice. It becomes very very easy for the government to shut you up - all they have to do is strongarm the bank to freeze that number. Its not as hypothetical as it sounds as the Indian government has done this before.

A large portion of black money was deemed to be held up by the bureaucracy - bribes paid by private individuals and corporations to government employees and politicians. Had demonetization been done along with a hiring freeze (and subsequent trimming down) of the bureaucracy, I'd have been more certain that the motives behind demonetization were to root out corruption. However, the bureaucracy is now larger and more powerful than ever under this government. Thus, the incentives to seek bribes still exits because of this power imbalance between the powerful bureaucrats and relatively week individuals.
Nope, they will trust the central bank. It's in the article.

An interesting concept, a few comments:

1. The site destroys the standard "back" functionality of Firefox.

2. The section about the team does not tell me anything about what the project does, how it works, or "why I should care."

3. After viewing the page (more than I would have preferred) I still have very little idea of what the project actually does or how it does it that is relevant from a technical perspective of building mobile websites.

Good luck.

Road-side merchants live hand-to-mouth and would anyways not contribute to tax because their incomes are so low.

Every study out there suggests that demonetisation was a big blunder, causing a very severe blow to the Indian economy, including the death of 150+ civilians.

The real motive for demonetisation was to legitimize the black money of the ruling party BJP and eliminate black money of opposition parties.
