Well, for something like this the user's signing key itself would probably be managed by the OS, so not extractable. When the app is done editing, it asks the user via the OS to approve the result and the OS performs the signature. You could even embed a downsample of the original that came signed from the camera hardware.

That's not been my experience, and that of many people around me.

I'm pretty 'vanilla' when it comes to my listening habits. Most of the artists I listen to were famous enough already to show up on my radar, and then there are a number of artists I discovered through word of mouth or attending music festivals. Aside from a few people in my network who often provide me with new artists to follow, my approach seems pretty common in my network.

But since I started using Spotify, the range of artists that I come across, follow, or become a fan of, has increased. The total count of artists I listen to in a given week is much higher than it used to be, and I'm much more likely to attend a performance when they're in town.

Of course that doesn't mean artists get paid more, but as far as listening and attending performances, my impression is that it's much better now for 'unknowns' than it used to be.

(obviously this doesn't mean the chances of a random artist/band becoming successful have increased, it just indicates that the chances of this becoming so is less dependent on obvious gate-keepers. I'm sure those in the know can point out many obstacles to becoming successful that are not directly related to the quality of the music)
You can also use a script blocker. Medium's site is annoying enough I've disabled all of their JS with uMatrix. Most journalism paywalls are half-assed JS-dependent paper tigers, and I don't know why they befuddle so many "hackers" here.
I have had this memory from some time ago about a scene from a podcast. Scientists in a lab are trying to wrangle an insect (which I remember to be a mantis of some kind) with a glass rod. The insect bites the rod with such force that it snaps and the arc of the motion lacerates the bugs middle (thorax?). From the cut fat begins to come out. Instictually the bug begins to eat it's own fat while dying.

I wish I could remember or find the podcast. I feel like it was radio lab, but can't find it.

I was looking at the rise and set times for each ground station, looking to see which one would take over once the spacecraft dropped out of view of Goldstone. I noticed that each one shows local time, not GMT. Without looking it up, I have no idea which zone these various places are in so I find that display quite confusing. I hope the spacecraft controller's display isn't like that.
What is the evidence of that, aside from “stuff Musk says” of course? Everything they do seems geared to commercial launches, which make sense, and stands to open up LEO enormously. I’m not seeing a realistic path to Mars outside of verbiage, while there is clearly amazing progress made in less expensive commercial launches.

No. We know that widespread screening does cause harm, even if the tests are 100% accurate.

Good luck to the great and zen programmers in creating anything or finding a job.

It might make more sense to say we have good moments where we write good code, great moments where we unlock key insights without writing code, and zen moments where we make things better by just deleting code. Hopefully as we practice over the years, the great and zen moments happen more often. But most of the time we have to be content with merely the good.

Amusingly that actually does the opposite, and takes into account the possibility of errors in your automation, but not in doing it manually.
I have a couple ideas I could sell you.
I'm not a heart doctor. Here's why I am not wary of the Apple Watch:

1.

At a societal level, perhaps false positives during screening put undue load on the medical system. But as an individual, it makes sense for me to screen for anything that does not take too high of an effort. If there is a false positive, it will be snuffed out in the next test.

2.

Here is a little thought experiment. Lets say the false positive rate is 1%, and you screen 100 people. Then, your total number of tests including repeated tests on false positive subjects will be ~101 on average (the chance of 2 or more false positives is low enough to ignore).

As long as the screening itself is not too much of an effort, then in fact false positives don't add that much load to the system.

So, we should be seeking additional methods for widespread screening rather than worrying about false positive rates.

---

I also find the doctors assumption of 10% false positive rates to be a little self serving in his argument. 1 in 10 people with an apple watch are going to be have atrial fibrillation detection? Doubt it.

The problem is that it's a game of superhuman cat and mouse.

We'll have systems arguing with each other and no way to tell which is correct. If, for example, someone is able to get a copy of the forensic AI model, they can train their decoder/generator to work against it until the results pass as legitimate. With no human ability to argue with the results of the forensics AI, we'll just trust it and pass it off as truth.

If you can clone the jury and conduct a quadrillion private trials, your chance of success in court is going to increase substantially.

They’re pouring almost all of their R&D effort into a massive rocket that only really makes sense if you want to go to Mars. BFR is absurd overkill for anything related to commercial LEO.

My statement also has another meaning: SpaceX was founded after Musk tried and failed to purchase a Russian rocket to land a greenhouse on Mars as a stunt.

I admit I don't even understand what that is supposed to mean. He writes that laws(!) are not considered "law" until "the people on the blockchain" - whatever that means, agree to it? So the making of laws somehow, obscurely, depends on "the blockchain"? How? Why? It makes no sense to me. What exactly does that mean? A vote of the people over each law, by blockchain? That's the only interpretation I can think of, and it still makes no sense. To me, and I admit my brain is quite limited, every explanation involving "blockchain" sounds surreal at best. I actually took two technical/programming courses (on edX and somewhere else) on "blockchains" so I think I understand the technology, but I'm still puzzled each time somebody explains something that involves this thing. IT seems understanding the technology is of no use - at least to me - when trying to understand the proposed use cases. How exactly the world is supposed to be changed in these scenarios remains a mystery to me, all I read is "magic".
I'm not really talking about overriding sanctions; just an absence of trade/treaty relations between two countries. You can't have an iterated prisoner's dilemma on an international level without an extradition treaty. (Well, you can, using the sort of arbitrary state-to-state gifts that international diplomatic incidents are resolved by, but that doesn't scale.)

> already has it that a contract does not have to written down to exist so if you're pretty sure things are going to go well - say mowing the lawn, you can go ahead and just enter the contract with nothing written down

Yeah, but there's a reason people do write contracts down rather than... not doing that, when they want to actually have them be enforced in the breach.

Personally, I don't even really want smart contracts to "do" anything on their own; all they would need to be useful is to be predicates—executable code running on a distributed computer that automatically detects a breach of contract, so that legal measures can be taken. That, by itself, is much more useful than a regular two-party written contract that devolves into "burn down their office to get out of the contract", or the regular three-party (you, them, a lawyer) written contract that costs $500/hr to facilitate.

The hardest part of programming is figuring out exactly what you're trying to achieve.

The (well, a) key to good program structure is reducing coupling between components.

Comments should say what the code is intended to do, not how it does it.
My take: all the progress in the last 30 years has been in hardware. Software is going in circles.

Sounds like you have already build something. Brush those up, make them available for the public and for the start don't think about how you will make money from those. You will get users and feedback. Those might help you in building something which will earn money.

You can also use what is called a transient in Clojure, where you can get an mutable copy, do what you need to do, then return a immutable copy back.

‘I wanted a truncheon in my pants’: the rise of the  extension
Are you kidding? It’s expected to replace the Falcon Heavy for LEO launches and further bring down the $/kg for launches. To say it only makes sense for Mars goes against both common sense, and SpaceX’s own claims.

From Wikipedia:

BFR is planned to execute five diverse flight use cases:[75][5]

legacy Earth-orbit satellite delivery market

long-duration spaceflights in the cislunar region

Mars transportation, both as cargo ships as well as passenger-carrying transport

long-duration flights to the outer planets, for cargo and astronauts[76]

commercial passenger travel on Earth, competing with long-range aircraft[77]

Musk and Shotwell have touted the ability of BFR to carry passengers on suborbital flights between any two points on Earth in under one hour.[62][78]

Launching sattelites and ferrying people are things they can actually do alone, while the rest is very much a pipe dream requiring massive hpthird party investment. Again, putting aside “stuff Musk says” you’re left with strong commercial applications for BFR that have nothing to do with Mars. While it could be used for Mars, SpaceX has no plans to make that happen and acknowledged the vast amount of third party effort required.

See:

In July 2017, Musk indicated that the architecture had "evolved quite a bit" since the 2016 articulation of the Mars architecture. A key driver of the updated architecture was to be making the system useful for substantial Earth-orbit and cislunar launches so that the system might pay for itself, in part, through economic spaceflight activities in the near-Earth space zone.[49]

BFR is planned to execute five diverse flight use cases:[75][5]

legacy Earth-orbit satellite delivery market
long-duration spaceflights in the cislunar region
Mars transportation, both as cargo ships as well as passenger-carrying transport
long-duration flights to the outer planets, for cargo and astronauts[76]
commercial passenger travel on Earth, competing with long-range aircraft[77]
Musk and Shotwell have touted the ability of BFR to carry passengers on suborbital flights between any two points on Earth in under one hour.[62][78]

Finally

SpaceX have indicated that they only intend to create the transport system to Mars, and that other aspects of colonization (habitats, mining, etc.) will need to be contributed by third parties.[28] A successful colonization would ultimately involve many more economic actors—whether individuals, companies, or governments—to facilitate the growth of the human presence on Mars over many decades.[29][30][31][5][32] Work contributed by others will allow colonization to progress far beyond what SpaceX projects to build alone.[24]

What’s the source for 10% specificity? I couldn’t find any article that said this was the case. In fact the only article that mentions any numbers is written by Quartz and says this: “Cardiologists were able to read 90% of the total readings, although about 10% of them were unreadable.” That’s not false positive.
I'm tempted to argue that storage makes renewables more expensive, but that argument would rest on the assumption that it was even possible to buy storage capacity at a scale of multiple terawatt-hours.

Could you show me the evidence for this so I can be educated.
You read it about half-way right. Smart contracts make the state less involved, but they don't eliminate its involvement in a transaction altogether, any more than regular written contracts eliminate the state from a transaction.

The state, or any actor for that matter, can fill multiple roles in a transaction. Intermediating all transactions is a bad role for any actor to be in (from every other actor's perspective), because it's one prone to rent-extraction. Any time you hand money over to a second party through a third party, humans have enshrined the logic that the third party—if it's big and powerful enough—can demand a cut of that transaction.

In all the cases I mentioned, the rent that is being extracted is a cut of all regular transactions. Sales tax / VAT is rent; credit card fees are rent; payment-processor fees are rent; and all of these are percentages. That is why states, credit card companies, and payment processors all have billion- (or trillion-)dollar budgets.

Imagine we eliminate that intermediation. Transactions flow directly between buyer to seller, with nobody able to take a percentile cut of them. No rent is extracted from the original transaction.

Now, in the case where a transaction doesn't go well, we do still want some actor to arbitrate disputes over a transaction. But, given the way legal systems work, it's entirely possible to do that arbitration after the fact. That is the whole idea of civil court, after all.

Such arbitrations usually result in the need for a recompensatory transaction (i.e. a lien); and such transactions need to be intermediated (i.e. supervised) by a third-party, since the two parties have already proven that they aren't mutually trustworthy. So there is a transaction here from which you probably can't stop rent from being extracted.

But that's okay! Disputes happen very rarely, while regular transactions happen all the time. The total cut of small-claims court, probate court, etc. fees, is way smaller than the total revenue of sales tax. The total amount paid to retain an arbitration service, is way smaller than the total amount earned by operating an escrow service. Etc.

The state is essential! It just doesn't belong between two people. It belongs waiting behind two people, acting as the exception-handler which one or both parties run to to report the transaction as having failed from their perspective. Then the state can step in. Much less work for the state; but also, much less rent to extract.
