Unfortunately this then enables fraud by allowing the manager to collude with someone and override the 'no' for fake returns by them, perhaps splitting the 'profit' generated. Perhaps the loss from this sort of white collar crime was predicted to be too high to be worth it.
In some European cities (Munich?) autonomous trains often have "drivers" who do nothing because that preferred to fighting the union.

Seems lik Slack is being pretty short sighted by kicking public communities off it. Slackin (https://github.com/rauchg/slackin) makes it really easy to set up a public Slack community and people love it. But it seems like Slack isn't that interested.

Sure there's plenty of people using their service and not paying for it, but it's also great marketing. If I do need chat for my paid organization, I'm much more likely to pick Slack if I'm using it daily for public channels.

Or, as many stores do now, only issue store credit/store specific gift cards when there is no receipt for the return. That way, even if they are stealing and returning or a serial return junkie, the "money" is only useful in that store. It will still count as a profitable sale.

Hypothetically we've weakened the selection pressure against those traits, but they still have some impact.

A celiac who continues to eat gluten will not be at their best or healthiest. They will have an uphill battle in life compared to everyone else.

A celiac who stops eating gluten might spend more on food than other people, minorly impacting their life. (Or, maybe they eat more vegetables than average, and thus being celiac becomes an advantage!?)

On a massive population scale, they will on average have some fitness modifier, and their genes will still be selected for or against- just more slowly.

Just think of more severe conditions. There are many once-fatal or severely-debilitating conditions where we've enabled people to survive and possibly even reproduce- but the deck is still heavily stacked against them, and they do not on average tend to have large families with lots of successful kids. So a once-fatal trait becomes less severe, but it's still selected against.

I think it's reasonable to think that's someone that is ready to put aside $10,000 in the eventually of an accident leading to coma for the small odds that future people will be able and willing to give him a new body is probably part of the elite.
Instead of fetching the secret via a direct HTTP call, the secret is fetched from the DNS server (eg. _acme-challenge.example.com.) - where the DNS server is usually separate from the server getting the cert. This can be done with ACMEv1 for certs, and now is required for the new wildcard certs.

Most clients that support DNS-01 can use nsupdate or APIs of public DNS providers to make this an automated process.
last year i went through all my playlists on spotify and counted maybe 30 greyed out tracks that were removed at some point in the last 8 years that ive been using it. not cool

up to that point i was generally happy enough paying for streaming but im slowly starting to move back to offline storage now and plan on just using spotify to discover new music every now and again.
ive given over 700 to spotify over the years which seems crazy now and ive recently spent around the same amount on a synology nas to store my music library, but at least the tracks i own wont suddenly disappear
Discord's founders promised open-sourcing their client and API long ago. I don't think it'll ever happen. Still, it's great to see them contributing to the wider community.

I am deeply disappointed by Discord's approach to Free Software in general, although I understand that they deeply desire the same business model as Slack or Hipchat. It'd be nice if we could stop balkanizing chat already.
How is this gaslighting? Transportation costs have done a reasonable job of not growing faster than inflation...
I was wondering when Discord would use Slack's recent announcement as PR for their own service. It's begun. I don't think I'll be falling for it this time though. Slack has made me skeptical of companies and their commitments to interoperability.
You can use a dns challenge for v1 "regular" certs - there's no requirement for a web server, in order to use let's encrypt.

My biggest concern for the whole crypto industry right now actually is strong regulatory action. The problem is that a lot of these things look, smell, and act like securities, and a lot of people think that all tokens should be classified as securities (including regulators).

I can understand that position, because many of the tokens and ICOs today are structured like securities and as speculative investments, and are primarily used as a way to make fast money instead of as a way to move technology forward. And people are using them that way, and I agree that we should be regulating these types of structures.

The problem when you start to believe that all tokens should be classified as securities. Tokens like bitcoin and siacoin have important uses and advantages that go beyond speculation and cannot exist absent a blockchain token. If the everyday consumer needs to comply with securities law in order to use bitcoin, you won't get to the future where YouTube videos are being streamed over a decentralized CDN, where WSJ paywalls use decentralized payment platforms, where various ecosystems can interact seemlessly and trustlessly thanks to the power of decentralization.

I worry because more and more I am seeing posts that are skeptical of the actual utility of "the blockchain" (much like during the dotcom bubble we started seeing people who were more and more skeptical of the utility of "The Internet") when the utility does exist and with the blockchain legitimately is a world changing technology. But taking full advantage of this technology means allowing consumers to interact with it (buy, sell, trade, etc.) with as few barriers as possible, and that means that when we bring forward appropriate regulation, we need to make sure we carve out places for tokens to exist other than centralized, regulated exchanges. (though, perhaps only tokens following XYZ criteria)
Excellent article! A very complete explanation covering all the necessary concepts to understand blockchain technology.
I don't think it's the workers that are the problem, from the article they sound just as frustrated (and indeed seem to be the source of this article). The management is not in a union. How does firing the workers fix anything?
Those web servers are working concurrently; they may or may not be working in parallel, that's an implementation detail. Without examining the wait states on the processes, you can't easily say.

The two terms mean something technically different. The article isn't about parallelism.

They don't need to tie the purchases to you. Only the returns. Even in cases where you are banned from a store for excessive returns, you are still perfectly allowed to keep shopping there. You just can't return anything.

So when you return items, they will ask for your id, even if you paid cash originally.
You're describing public-key cryptography. Sign a message to prove you know a private key that also authorizes the release of funds. This happens to be exactly the functionality of Bitcoin.

It is debatable whether known public-key cryptography systems will survive attack for the amount of time under discussion here.

I suspect the hack will be to extract the secret from the brain being resurrected, recover the funds, and toss the brain in the trash.
Well, I tried to use Discord on different occasions for about two weeks (gaming), but didn't manage to get it to use my mic (tried it with different browsers). At the same time I have no problems with in-game VOIP solutions, Skype, Spreed or Nextcloud Talk.

So I would say, they are clearly doing something wrong over there and while I searched for solutions I got the impression that my problem wasn't an unique incident. At least for me it was enough to not recommend Discord.

There's a company in the US that pitches taking care of your pets after "the rapture" (a once-in-the-history-of-the-world event where, apparently, the righteous will ascend to heaven).

It's a kind of insurance, because you won't be able to pay the company after the rapture, so you have to pay now. Also, the company has to be manned by evil people (as a matter of fact and marketing), because if they were good they wouldn't stay behind after the rapture to execute their contractual obligations.

The best kind of commerce is when you take money and don't have to deliver anything in return; however sometimes customers feel cheated. The bestest kind of commerce is the same, but the customer is happy.

But, SV should be wary of becoming its own caricature.

> If I cloned you, tortured your clone and killed it while you were asleep, then merged his memories to you - was it you who I was torturing or not? Why is the difference meaningful?

If I merged the bash logs where I nuked rm -rf / on a given computer into the logs of one where I have not ran that command, the result is not the same.

> You can serialize an instance of a class, delete the instance, then deserialize it.

This would not be the same object since you can do that, but not delete the object.

Programming is a great analogy. I think the answer for identity/consciousness, even in programming involves an uninterrupted flow of unique locations in time/space that has continued existing as a cohesive whole.

> Some GC languages can move objects in memory when the application is running. Is this the same object?

In general, if there can be "two" instances simultaneously utilizing a given approach (like mind transfer), then it is not the same "one." But this is a flow, so ship of theseus alterations like you propose do not change identity, they are part of the flow.

> Then sleeping is the same as death.

I can't rule that out, actually, although I seem to be conscious some of it, so there's that.

Part of the problems, as I understand it, is that ICO's are different enough from traditional securities that present regulations in some important ways don't fit. I have read the SEC recognizes this and is working on new regulations.

That said, the article says that if ICO's were designed the way they are recommending, a lot of the present problems would go away on their own.
Put some words on the page. Good or bad. You can fix it up later.

In the past year I wrote a kids sci-fi novel. Well, I finished the draft, and I’ve been editing it the past few months.

It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for years, but only finally got the ‘kick’ when I quit my job last Feb and had 3 months of paid garden leave (awesome, right) before I could start the new job.

Perfect time to write my novel.

I wound up only finishing half of it by the time I started the new job. With its long hours, I was worried I might not get to finish my story. But I have a daily commute, and made it my business to do some writing each way. About 30-40 minutes on the train, it was my dedicated time. My time to escape from everything else and immerse myself into my story.

It worked out great, somehow knowing this was my only window to do it gave me the motivation to keep it up.

And I finished it!! Sometimes, on a good day, when I had an idea how the scene would play out, I could get 2000 words. Rare but it happened. The early days I could just about do 500 words, but later on 500-1000 was my usual.

Some days I just couldn’t get past a couple sentences. Bad days happen. Accept it.

But “Just write” is great advice.

If you’re stuck on a scene, skip it and go to the next one. But keep putting down words.

If you don’t know how to open your book, start a couple chapters in, somewhere you know what will happen.

Most of the time I had no idea how a chapter would work out, what would happen beyond some vague notions. But eventually things fall into place. Characters act of their own volition, out of my control.

Editing, now, that’s a whole different beast. I feel my productivity has dropped dramatically and I’ve been stuck in perma-edit mode.

Hope it to make a few final tweaks and send it out to some beta readers.

Anyway, a long stream-of-conscious post agreeing with putting down words. (Cutting them out is harder)

The evolutionary selection pressure found in modern society is not the same as for most of human history. Celiac's was not a issue before agriculture (no wheat) and the genes responsible have been under negative selection since the rise of agriculture in Europe until about 100 years ago.

Agriculture was so recent that non-adaptive genes have not been fully removed from the population, nor have adaptive ones (like digesting lactose in adulthood) fully spread through the population. Humans were part way through a massive selective sweep (adaption to agriculture) when the industrial revolution happened. If this had taken 100,000 years rather than 10,000 years then Celiac's would have become almost non-existant.

I am surprised that as a CEO you even have any time to do coding. That is a rare situation.

It is hard to put the 3 hours of coding into perspective when you don't indicate how much effort is being put into design and specification of the system. In my experience successfully deployed systems are bout 25% coding, the rest of the effort is in gathering and documenting requirements, designing the system from various perspectives and specifying the modules, etc. Of course, in many cases people conflate all those activities as being "coding".
Waiting for multiple concurrent things to complete isn't parallelism, in the on-topic jargon meaning of the term.

Parallelism is things physically being executed simultaneously, increasing throughput via physically multiple resources. The multiple IOs you're waiting on might be executing in parallel if you have e.g. a RAID array or SAN in the loop, but it's an implementation detail and isn't what the article is about.
But that's the difference of being against self driving cars, and a specific model of a car (for which it's manufacturer is liable). The OP was saying, to use your analogy, we still use doctors in the U.S. because it changed deaths from medical problems from like 90% to 400,000 people killed every year by accident.

USA in 1980 was already a developed nation with a high relative standard of living. It could only grow GDP by inventing new technology and process not simply import proven tech.

China's continued failures are massive and ongoing. Some numbers look ok relative to their past failures but that's about it.

Yikes, you were the only person in your group who was competent to answer pages? We had several, and there were a number of factors that determined who would get paged first for a given issue, including whether you were in a fight with manufacturing. (Don't ever get in a fight with people whose job description includes paging you at odd hours.) I usually got woken up a couple times a week. Sounds like you had it a lot worse.
Sure -- but plenty of people also paid their taxes and at then at some point in life found themselves in a disadvantaged position where they needed some kind of social assistance. I think you are absolutely spot on though with your implication that many in rural America (and probably urban too...) view many things through the lens of fairness and hard work.
Interesting article.

I'm not convinced transactions are so bad for utility token value. Token price is the token GDP (total value of goods exchanged for it) divided by velocity. If you double the number of payment transactions, you double the velocity but also the GDP, for a net zero effect on price.

But it's certainly true that a fee-earning token gives a stronger incentive to developers. Sia is its own network, right? Would it be fair to say that on a project implemented on top of a blockchain like Ethereum, you would dispense with the utility token and just use ETH, and apportion the fees to the "fund" holders?

I've seen a fair number of projects do this. Then people started thinking it'd be less likely to pass muster with the SEC, compared to a utility token. (But now it seems you can't avoid the SEC in any case.)
From the actual link [0]

Like many retailers, we use a third party to help prevent losses by detecting improper returns [...] Reimbursements on returns lacking proof of purchase may be denied or limited and state sales tax and fees will not be reimbursed. [...] If we caution you or deny your return, you may request a copy of your Return Activity Report by calling 1-888-224-1920

So, they don't promise to unconditionally return items. I wonder what a 'Return Activity Report' looks like?

I’m pretty sure I posted those three stories in something more like a minute than an hour.

I could neither believe that torture could be a controversial subject, nor that any controversy could be enough of a reason to bury this subject. There have, after all, been dozens of stories on the front page about this Googler and his misogynistic screed, and the inevitable controversy was deemed acceptable in light of this poor fellow’s freedom of speech.

I figured dozens of people been tortured by the government might lead to a similar balancing of interests. But I guess I was wrong.
