The article has an interesting perspective, but it doesn't answer the perennial question - How many creators exactly?

Then there is this:

> , a growing swath of creators have fled to sites such as DTube to avoid the constraints. Like other upstart sites, DTube runs on the blockchain network Steem, and users can pay creators and commenters in digital tokens.

The article doesn't go beyond Dtube and Steemit at all, even though it tries to quote them as examples. So the question is - what such sites other than Dtube?

Maybe. I just don't want to use a well-established word to tag a new phenomenon because people can start judging the situation by the wider meaning of the word "Uniformization" or maybe different people will understand something different.

Instead, I coin a word and proceed to explain it. I find that using words with precise technical definitions or words that are jargons is dangerous in an informal context.

I’m curious what this means for mainly intellectual jobs/skills. What’s the difference between mind wandering and, er, thinking? We can easily separate “programming” from “thinking about what’s for dinner,” and say the latter is wandering - but what about “could I do this another way? What was that technique I read about yesterday? But if I use that, then it might have this downside, which would mean x happens, and in scenario y that would be bad because z...” Is that wandering or focus? It’s certainly about what happened in the past and what will happen in the future (or will never happen at all). And it surely could make you unhappy. But it also seems very necessary!

How to Build a USSD App Using Python and Django
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_of_cryptography_from_th... is probably a good place to start.

One fairly concrete example:

> Shortly afterward, Netscape's SSL technology was widely adopted as a method for protecting credit card transactions using public key cryptography. Netscape developed two versions of its web browser. The "U.S. edition" supported full size (typically 1024-bit or larger) RSA public keys in combination with full size symmetric keys (secret keys) (128-bit RC4 or 3DES in SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0). The "International Edition" had its effective key lengths reduced to 512 bits and 40 bits respectively (RSA_EXPORT with 40-bit RC2 or RC4 in SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0), by zero-padding 88 bits of the normal 128-bit symmetric key. Acquiring the 'U.S. domestic' version turned out to be sufficient hassle that most computer users, even in the U.S., ended up with the 'International' version, whose weak 40-bit encryption could be broken in a matter of days using a single computer. A similar situation occurred with Lotus Notes for the same reasons.

It's not necessarily a design flaw in the protocol, but it has basically the same effect.

The thing is that none of those "anonymized" subjects would have ever been asked for consent if they really knew about the consequences.

Seattle in the early/mid 90s had a grittier grungier feel. Before that, I remember when the Alaskan ferry docks were still downtown (today they are in Bellevue), it was much more of a lumber jack/plaid/fishing boat feel back then (early 80s and late 70s). Of course, my dad and mom’s impression of Seattle was quite different from mine own, as well.

Although in the grand scheme of things this is probably a good idea and a net positive, it is still kind of absurd when you look at the individuals.

Take Norway for example, it was said earlier that they officially run on only about 40% green energy. However in actual reality they run closer to 100% on green energy and everyone there knows it.
Then a coal power factory somewhere can buy the Norwegian credits and claim to be 100% green and sell that.
It's no wonder many people don't like this scheme.

But as you say and I agree, it is probably a net positive.
> Way to name some completely orthogonal problems that existed at the time.

What? These aren't completely orthogonal at all, they all fall under the umbrella of "process isolation" and containerization. There's a reason we have safeguards for processes in place; it's because it's a lot better when you have something to police badly behaved software than to trust that everything will work well 100% of the time.
My Sigma SD1M still produces mind-blowing images I can't do with high-end Nikons and Canons. Foveon can truly make magical images, though there were so many issues with DSLRs it shipped on, e.g. they were almost always awfully slow and had very bad (but film-like) low-light performance. Also, original research suggested that to get realistic colors, up to 7 layers are needed. Bayers OTOH just interpolate and cook colors, but with the increase of resolution might at some point perform similarly, when lens limit is hit. Foveon was also always manufactured by a far worse process than e.g. Sony top-end sensors, and its quantum efficiency was orders of magnitude worse.
Did he create that belief by himself or was it thrusted by you ?
What you're describing seems to be pretty much exactly polarization.

You get one set of creators who want monetary gain and so their content fits within certain limits. Over time this will create more similar content as they watch what works for other people.

The other set of creators have different goals and don't care about monetary gain. The popular parts of this content will also tend to local maximum based on the level of extremism that's popular.
I'm not sure there really is a difference. I often find myself drifting off into code issues - I've had many an epiphany while trying hard to focus on something completely different.

I never understood the following: an online profile is built out of many scraps of data, each data point on its own is not very conclusive (like search history, I am searching for many things, how can they conclude anything from an instant curiosity I had in the past?) Could it be that that customers of this data may see the result as not very conclusive after all? Can we collectively help them to reach such a conclusion by ignoring online advertising?

Wouldn't it be great if all this data aggregation/privacy invasion business reaches a point of diminishing returns just because the subject of the manipulation has developed an immunity to all of it?

We need an online behavior randomization gadget that turns our valued personal data trail into garbage, obfuscation to the rescue.

On the other hand the only thing that counts is the credit card purchase history of a person - and it is impossible to randomize that one (short of sharing the card with your kids)

Sea access should do...

But really, why would you only invest in renewable energy at home.

We should be building a solid grid and just hook up sun farms and wind turbines where we get the best return on investment.

I agree that starting with mechanics is the necessary first step. I have seen some games where the mechanics made me entirely uninterested in proceeding past the tutorial or very early game and others where the mechanics made the game worse the whole time but not completely unplayable. Maybe I see games unplayable due to mechanics about as often as I see games unplayable due to technical issues (as someone who generally does not buy games when they are first released).

It seems to me (without having actually designed games) that level design and the story can be done with basic artwork and sound and that making sure that stuff is great before spending a bunch of money on artwork would improve things.

I wish developers would avoid violence as a core theme of games. There must be other themes you can use even with the same basic mechanics.

Good luck with your game! I really love story driven games and there are so few good ones.

While I don't want to take anything away from Portugal, we should maintain objectivity. The Netherlands for example have a poor rating in regards to renewable energy source.

Looking back at Portugal, their main source is a hydroelectric dam and their second is wind.

The netherlands have basically no elevation, so they literally can't make an (efficient) dam.

The Netherlands also have extremely bad ratio between landmass/population, so there's quite literally little space for mass Wind turbines.

Portugal also has the luxury of not sharing their coast, while the netherlands have to share the (small) northern sea with multiple countries (England for one) so they literally can't build wind turbines randomly in the sea without breaking a treaty.

Netherlands and England as well are not exactly sunny countries thus solar is also inherently more inefficient than countries closer to the equator.

Then there's general climate arguments (annual wind amounts and speeds)

I think these are very important factors because the variable for a coal plant is the same, so a direct comparison between Portugal and The Netherlands and potentially other eu countries is somewhat apples and oranges.
What child (or adult, for that matter) would ever have an honest belief about a person they hadn’t met? Humans are mirror images of their environment, adults are just better at passing it off as original thought.

Why do you think religion is so conveniently regional? It just so happens that people born in a Protestant family believe Luther was right, and people in the Middle East just happen to mostly believe in the teachings of Muhammad? Possible, but the odds are slim.

I know you were being rhetorical, but just say that. “He believes that because of his environment.” Great, what else is new?

(Ps: the vapid ire for Justin Bieder is broadly dispersed. It’s quite likely they picked it up from pop culture. Patting each other on the back for irrationally hating this guy is the saddest fad of the decade, and adults really should know better. But there you go.)
It's sad that they could only end the fossil fuel subsidies when they had already reached 100% renewable power.

Hopefully other countries will end fossil fuel subsidies much sooner than that.

A wandering mind isn't always an unhappy mind. When undertaking "engaged wandering", great ideas may emerge.
A wandering mind isn't wandering in an entirely random, chaotic fashion. If you're solving challenging problems, sometimes you may discover a novel solution by relaxing and letting your mind wander for a while. I've found mind wandering particularly useful while designing/architecting.

However, aside from "engaged wandering", I've found a lot of pain from a wandering mind. I am working as a solo-preneur on a high-risk venture. Anxiety seems to be ever-present at the door step of my attention, waiting for the next moment that my mind wanders and anxiety may enter.
Actually, yes, it is.
I did. My company is slowly growing and I am getting more and more independent again. The big difference is I am really independent this time as I can do with my time what I want. Also my mental and also physical health is better, better than it ever was before since I started working.

You even have reserves, I think it's more likely that you would hate not having done it than when you would fail.

IMO freedom is always worth some risks.

We are talking about file-based malware that needs to execute.

It doesn't mean this hash hasn't been seen before, it means that application X which is trusted, is on the trust list (and yes, fingerprinted by 6 hashes) is allowed to run. Application Y which is not on the trust list is blocked from running.

That malware can't get on the trust list (unless by a malicious admin) and therefore can't run.

A zero day exploit that allows the injection of malware onto an endpoint for example, doesn't really matter as the malware can't run. How application Y got there, is irrelevant. It could have come from any attack vector.
That is brilliant. Right now, Portugal is getting 14% of its electricity from gas and 8% from coal. But then it is also exporting 19% to Spain so it is very close to being completely renewable.
