> Hey, cool! I worked on something similar a long time ago

Great honor to get this message from you, I'm a great fan!

> Have you looked into using the Interledger Protocol?

Yes. It contains some things that I don't agree with. For example, I believe that the timeouts they have on the transactions are not secure. I also don't like that it binds users to the domain system and the traditional certificate hierarchy.

> Also, how do you propose to grow this network? That always seemed like the hardest part to me.

I'm not sure yet. I agree that this is a very difficult question. I might need some help.
That's what I'd been trying. But I've found that Brave and even Opera (issues aside) do it better, and at a fraction of battery life. On my phone battery is king, so I really wish that part were fixed.
I actually meant like a book like JavaScript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford. But thanks for your insight!
It's true. I think that the main difference between the two projects is that in Offst there is only one type of credit. Interledger attempts to bridge between various ledgers.
Thousands of studies link low-level wireless radio frequency radiation exposures to a long list of adverse biological effects, including:

DNA single and double strand breaks.

Oxidative damage.

Disruption of cell metabolism.

Increased blood brain barrier permeability.

Melatonin reduction.

Disruption to brain glucose metabolism.

Generation of stress proteins.

Let’s not also forget that in 2011 the World Health Organization (WHO) classified radio frequency radiation as a possible 2B carcinogen.
The 6809 was 8 bits, in the same way Z80 and 6502 and 6800 were: 8 bit data bus, 16 bit address bus.

It had a few 16 bit instructions: arithmetic on data in registers, or loading/storing a 16 bit register (8 bits at a time). I think the Z80 did as well.

> Sure some of these assets are not liquid.

Most of the banks assets are not liquid, such as the loans they have lent out. Banks quite often have problems that they give credit out too easily, which leads to the situation where their assets aren't worth much. They often also give loans to the stakeholders of the bank which makes it a bit sketchy.
Is there any books about ceos that came up with ingenious ideas to steer the company into profit that you would recommend? I’m interested in what a CEO does that makes his/her so many times more worth than your average man. Not being sarcastic just want to gain those skills.
Central banks can print money, banks can't. Banks can only do fractional reserve. Sometimes banks go bust, sometimes central bank might save them.
Why can’t these emails just come out and say it: “your account was affected”. It’s always implicit.

Also, why rely on users to change their passwords? Is there a security log I can check?
Do people come directly to you for information on your area of expertise? For me it seems they haven't done as much than I'd expect, but I can't say for sure if that's because they don't like me or because my expertise is less respected than I imagine it should be. Either way it does matter to my career prospects as well as to my feelings.
>why [...] would people prefer gold instead of, say, water, toilet paper..

"Hi here's your monthly pay it's $5,000 of toilet paper. Where would you like me to park the truck that's full of it?"

The purpose of a money as a technology is to be a highly salable good that stores wealth across time and space.

Taking your salary in toilet paper isn't good because it's not as salable and it also can rot and degrade. If someone tells you that it's good your money rots because then everyone will have to work more than if their money was more robust (inflation) they're probably the person that can create money costlessly but charge you for it (a bank). If they claim that it's bad if the amount of money required to produce something decreases (deflation) when reducing the consumptive inputs (labor, materials, yes even money) creates a more efficient product, is less demanding on the planet, they are probably that gain their wealth from taxing and taking your things (states).

> We use Slack for internal comms, but it's used mostly for chit-chat conversations and real-time issues. Is there a product for slow-thinking updates where I can share teams news and align my +40 people team?

With distributed teams, I don't think communicating big vision ideas are all that difficult. They can usually be solved with a monthly all-hands.

The problem with distributed teams is the lack of informal interactions. When you come up with a seed of an idea, that may well be a bad idea or isn't thoroughly formulated, it's an immense help to walk over to someone's desk and run it by them.

Slack and email are poor tools for this type of early innovation because they require you to write your idea down. At the very early stages of innovation, you may not even have a clear enough vision of the solution (or the problem it's trying to solve), to commit it to writing.

Most of these early ideas are originally flawed or down-right incorrect, but low-risk informal chats with co-workers can help crystalize or disprove the idea far more efficiently than any written medium.
> semi important

I'd rate income inequality and poverty higher, personally.
on-site nexus is good.
The idea is that gold would still be tradable for those things. It would be a universally recognized store of value and medium of exchange.

If the government-backed currency fails, the concept of currency still exists. It just has to be intrinsically rare.

Yeah, if you have a pile of 1oz bars, then you’ll need to batch your purchases accordingly. (That’s a lot of toilet paper).
A python prototype is useful for specifying the correct program behavior. It's useful as a guide for later implementors. Better than a spec in a word document.
> I speak from experience, working on althea.org

I follow you people for a long time on /r/darknetplan! How are things going?

As tmacro noted, Offst friends put credit limits on each other. Therefore Bob will not be able to buy forever. This is not really a bug, Bob is out of credits and shouldn't be able to buy more things until he gets new ones.

How does Bob gets credits is another question. In a normal economy Bob would have to get to work or exchange something to get credits.
I agree with you that initially in a small network this could be a problem, because maybe nobody in the network wants to exchange something with Bob for credits. But if this kind of credit system is widely use, I hope this won't be a problem.
I appreciate the help! I will work on making those things happen!
> I believe that could be trivially fixed by giving functions proper names that indicate what they do or what they are intended for. For example, calling such an optimised-away assertion function `debug_only_assert()` would immediately rule out such unintentional misuse.

That is Rust's tack:

> [assert!] assertions are always checked in both debug and release builds, and cannot be disabled.

> Unlike assert!, debug_assert! statements are only enabled in non optimized builds by default. An optimized build will omit all debug_assert! statements unless -C debug-assertions is passed to the compiler.
Exactly. The idea that you would even have access to the internet and computers in the event of a governmental collapse is inane.

Crypto is posited as a hedge against oppressive governments, but the people who use it almost always live in countries that offer more freedom and democratic control than anyone ever had in history.

People who are actually oppressed by their governments - the North Koreans and Turkmenistanis of the world - don't even have the infrastructure to buy crypto.
We just have to hope that I until I manage to set up a nice UI for mobile phones, we will already have very good batteries (;
Analog computing has problems of accumulating error that can’t be resolved.

The more sequential operations you have to perform, the more the error accrues because unlike any discrete system you have no ability to filter noise.

That’s why analog computers “fell out of fashion”. That and the relatively restricted programmability, higher power usage, etc.

There are some problems where analog can be faster, but the moment you have consecutive operations you need to accept imprecise answers.

Referencing and being inspired by someone‘s Design System is a good thing. Try looking at a bunch of them to get a better perspective.

However, using someone's Design System may not always be a good choice. Unless, they are lean, non-directional and are mostly patterns that you can adapt to any tech stack or systems. For instance, Google’s Material Design Philosophy is a good starting point and you can leverage it as your base system. You’ll still need to understand the WHYs of the principles. Without understanding the core principles and the WHYs, you’ll be dependent on it in the wrong fashion.

Here is an example without trying to single it out from the other Design Systems. Sometime back, I studied Ant.Design to see if I can adapt to a massive product overhaul. Unfortunately, I realized that it is a system more specific to the way AliExpress does and think about their design. And technically it was in LESS (CSS Pre-Processor).

There are many good, well thought out systems. One being that of AirBNB’s JavaScript styleguide.

Be inspired, and possibly start with a system that has fewer restrictions, a lot of community activity behind it.
We can always add more features.
“The new 5G wireless technology involves millimeter waves (extremely high frequencies) producing photons of much greater energy than even 4G and WiFi. Allowing this technology to be used without proving its safety is reckless in the extreme, as the millimeter waves are known to have a profound effect on all parts of the human body.”

If I was a car manufacturer I would invest heavily on Uber. The fact that people need to have a new car to work for Uber is one of the main factors that keep the auto industry out of recession.

How do you deal with reversibility? I assume that is the hard bit, as tail recursion is not new (and I would have assumed been the first thing picked up if it was easy)
Realising that I am at a point where I don't reflect the majority of their user base, how did we get to the point that registering via anything that's not a fancy web interface is considered too hard for inexperienced users?

I'm relatively certain that wasn't considered a problem back when I got into IRC and there were more active networks and channels out there. You for whatever reason logged on and were often greeted by messages or even a bot that helped through the sign-up process. Even most GUI clients contained relatively straightforward ways to automate the authentication steps afterwards as well. Again realizing that I'm now in the "snarky old grump" position, discord and slack often feel like a step in the wrong direction. On the one hand it's nice that these platforms include rich media, message archiving/replay, and technically inept users (although the latter would have worked fine with bouncers/webapps back in the day), on the other hand it's just moving my personal communication to yet another corporate silo with weird monetisation.

Not trying to imply that IRC would represent something more convenient messaging wise but did we really have to move in the completely different direction there just to integrate a few solutions and add monetisation?
True, that could have used a TL;DR, agreed.
Dictionaries are also useful for problem-solving. I tab-complete "dicto" in my editor and ten random dictionary words appear. I look for intuitive-metaphorical connections to the current problem. This has been very useful on coaching calls. "What if we look at this as a [carousel] amusement project. Where is the fun in it for you?"

One client reminds me every month that one of those random words solved his problem, so it's paid for itself! :-)

It was very important for me to have the protocol schema separated from all the code, you can find it here:

https://github.com/freedomlayer/offst/tree/master/components...

This contains a capnp definition of all the protocol.

I didn't write about it yet in the documentation because I'm pretty sure this protocol is going to break soon. This first version is only a demonstration, and there are some various small things I might decide to change there.

I also want to change all the interface related Rust crates to have an MIT license, so that you can just copy the interface and do what you want with it. This should allow anyone to write applications with any license they want.

I intend to have a very detailed explanation of the protocol on the first stable release.

EDIT: One more thing that should be fixed in this regard is the format of the Offst database. Currently it is a file, I intend to change it into an sqlite database.
What specifically are you waiting for? You can already run rust in the browser, by compiling it to wasm and talking to the DOM using wasm-bindgen (like this Sauron library is doing).
The software will track only the work done. Sometimes I would really want to use a computer system rather to deal with people.
Yes, that’s rift. Photonics don’t have that problem.
If there are 50,000 people and 50,000 people experience problems, that's bad.

If there are 5 million people and 50,000 experience problems, that's fine?

Isaac Asimov's comments about world population increase involved something about this; the more people there are, the more each individual is dehumanised and rendered irrelevant (my paraphrasing).
I literally don’t understand your argument.

We have a vaccine that could have prevented 400k cases of diagnosed cervical cancer.

Love the guy pushing the semantic republic =/= democracy argument in the comments with real conviction, as if the solution to American political problems lies there.
I would make an educated guess that "arpa" is from EX-USSR and their native language is Russian. It's direct translation of idiom "морально устаревший" which literally means something is:

* Available for decades.

* Far from being top notch technology.

* Sometimes of course it's literally mean outdated. Like if you run older CentOS or Debian with decade-old packages.

So it's doesn't mean SpamAssassin is bad, but it's very far from state-of-the-art ML technologies that Google might have.
suplol, pinned to the main page for no reason at all, pretty cool, wonder why
Okay. Latter half basically takes the fundamentals of analyzing language vis a vis it's use, and the general transcendental natures of grammars, and applies the same process to technology.

So the author posits that there are transcendent grammars which shape our use of various technologies, and that these grammars by necessity transcend their merely technological context, and also incorporate facets of the culture and forms of life of the communities utilizing the technology.

Examples I'd extrapolate:

Internet/networking as used by Americans: Primarily disseminative in nature. Censorship extremely difficult. Robust. Limitations or control are far harder sells, due to cultural norms.

Vs.

Internet/networking by China:
Tightly controlled. Increasingly difficult to freely/anonymously transact through due to intense regional regulation. Ubiquitous, utilized to enable pervasive Informational Awareness/Personnel tracking.

The author focuses on social robots in particular, but to be quite honest, toward the end, I just wasn't getting that much useful.

I think there's validity to looking at the ways differences in cultural values will lead the same technology to wildly divergent use cases; there is value there.

Not really feeling like there's a breakthrough here though. I'm not quite mind blown enough yet.
I tried to give an user read-only access to a private repository on GitHub a few weeks ago, and from what I could tell it isn't possible.
> very few people would say that a "healthy" labor market has no minimum wage or discrimination protections ...

Unfortunately, you're talking to one of those few people. I'm against government mandating minimum wages or mandatory maternity/paternity leave. If you want those things, you can try to negotiate for it.

Apparently some peoplr care, considering the number of comments on how Go can, does and should handle this usecase.

This is spot on.

I think that the lightning network does this kind of thing.
I call bullshit. Google has flaunted their complete disregard for RFCs time and time again. Try to send an abuse complaint to abuse@ any domain that's hosted by Google. You can't. Try to correspond with a human. You can't.

Content filters should never be applied to abuse addresses, yet Google happily ignores this and never even replies to abuse complaints sent to @gmail.com or @google.com.
I very much hope so. Hopefully in the future you will be able to use Offst to generally buy stuff online.

1) Tesla does not report their numbers, though one person who went for a ridealong in the autonomy day demo reported one takeover in 20-minutes [1], so at least once every 10 miles.

2) Waymo does testing on a lot of types of roads. They reported 1.26 million miles in CA last year [2]. It's not possible to apples-to-apples compare this to Tesla's numbers because Tesla does not share their data. Musk even turned down an analyst's request the other day for details backing up his claim of autopilot safety [3].

Tesla/Musk are being unreasonable when they claim stats show their system is 40% safer or 2x safer than normal driving because they are comparing to NHTSA stats which include all classes of cars (including motorcycles), all road types (whereas AP is mainly used on divided highways), and all weather conditions (nobody activates AP in the snow, I hope, and I doubt many do in rain).

Bullshit!

The authors wrote an article entitled "Bullshitters: Who Are They and What Do We Know about Their Lives?"

That's the title of the piece. Not "some possibly generalizable observations about the behavior of 15 year olds"

Sure, the paper's contents contain the massive CAVEAT EMPTORs, but that's exactly how bullshit works in academic writing.

Bold titles, sweeping statements in introductions and conclusions. But enough profuse caveats sprinkled around that you can always say to anyone who takes a closer look

Yes it does; reasonable people are disagreeing.
The same way we map words to vectors or entire pictures to vectors. We'll have another ML model that would take 1 second of sound as input (48000 1 byte numbers) and produce a say vector of 128 float32 numbers that would "describe" this 1 second of sound.

That guy is saying that 400k cases of diagnosed cancer per year is “unimportant” because apparently[1] you can just choose not to have sex. They doesn’t seem to grasp the fact that 100%[2] of the population are affected by HPV, and that cervical cancer is just 2 of the 14 strains of cancer causing HPV that we know of. Their judgement is indeed clouded by the whole “it’s a SEX thing” whether they want to admit it or not.

[1] Of course you can choose to not have sex, and many people do, but my point wasn’t literal. Abstinence is absurd, regressive, arcane, etc, and doesn’t belong in 2019 nor does it work on 2019.

[2] Just to pre-emptively cover my base against pedantic people: I’m sure that the number isn’t 100% because of genetic mutations but those are exceptions not the rule.
You should benchmark SQLite before recommending it like this (for future reference). I think it's a very elegant library, and I admire the development philosophy that went into it. However, every time I've tried to use it for something that needs to be fast it ended up being a painful mistake.
