> Almost by definition a proper solution to this problem should allow for decisions in a DAO to be made locally —i.e. with limited attention and voting power, as long as these decisions are ensured to be in line with the global opinion of the DAO. We’ve coined² this peculiar situation holographic consensus, being reminiscent of a hologram where every little piece of the picture actually contains the information of the entire image. In this article I’m presenting the holographic consensus (HC) solution for scalable, resilient and decentralized governance, describing its basics and how it is enabled. In the next post of this series I’ll continue with a more detailed prescription of a HC protocol, and will discuss its scalability and resilience properties.

https://medium.com/daostack/holographic-consensus-part-1-116...

A "DAO" is a "decentralized autonomous organization". The term isn't defined further than that.

In plain english, if I understand this, the idea is for a voting algorithm that allows a random or semi-random subset of an organization (a DAO) to make decisions for the group as a whole, so that not every member has to vote on every decision - like a kind of fancy algorithmic working group.

There are ways to do this without intercepting HTTPS. Does your company monitor all phone calls looking for Morse code? Does your company monitor all photocopies? All photos taken with phones?

There are reasonable precautions that can be taken and proxying all traffic is a bit of an overkill.

Interestingly, I’m waiting for some IP lawsuit as MITM is technically breaking encryption and breaking encryption for DRM is against the DMCA. So MITM HTTPS traffic to Spotify should be in violation of us copyright law. But I’ve never heard of a case.
Your job as part of social contract of living in a market-based economy is to allocate capital in the most productive way possible to maximize efficiency of the whole. What this means, is that if you believe no ventures are valuable, you allocate your capital in cash. If you believe ventures will outperform cash, you invest in ventures. So you're "forced" in the same way you're "forced" not to be homeless, have a job, and not hit people. It's a way of life.
iDevGames was a wonderful community of the rarely-seen mac game developer. I grew up using the board myself, and it was their patient explanation of vector math, stack frames, and gcc compiler errors that allowed my early ambitions to succeed (sadly, I don't have any remnant of those years). I don't develop games anymore and I was sad to see the site had come down when I visited.

I have especially fond memories of 2004 (https://www.macworld.com/article/1041232/udevgames.html), and I'm surprised to see that you can still see my favorite game here: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/kill-dr-cote/id659232023?mt=12

There was also another forum that ran similar contests, I remember some theme to do with swarming, but I can't remember it now.

In retrospect, it was inevitable. You can see the activity decline over time that suspiciously coincides with a rise in Unity development. However, that decline came after it saw the launch of, among other things, Humble Bundle (out of Wolfire—these were founded by brothers, I believe) and I think some of the people on the original Unity team. It's truly a community I will miss.
In Colorado, we often often have ~15 ballot initiatives, as well as city, county, and state elections. That's on top of the federal elections. Most of our domestic policy is dictated at the local level rather than the federal level, and it is this decentralized nature which flummoxes our European friends.
Being placed on leave is not the same as taking time off. One implies it was voluntary and the other implies it was obligatory.

That said, I do agree it's best not to jump to conclusions.

Voting could be digitized with blockchain technology. No need to waist the paper.

1. Create a blockchain app that runs as a web app.
2. Tie it to a persons Social Security Number.
3. Allow folks to download the app. Prove citizenship through a set of questions and cast a vote.
<Tech Company> contractors listened to <smart device> recordings

These stories feel like mad libs at this point. I don't personally have a problem with anonymized recordings being used to improve models, but maybe these assistants should prompt for affirmative consent whenever they hear a new voice. "Some recordings may be reviewed by humans for quality assurance and to improve our services. These recordings are not linked to you or your identity. Do you accept?"

No one said the other side is innocent. There is corruption and manipulation on all sides. One side, however, is clearly more corrupt and manipulative than the other. (And of course I'm referring to the democratic party here.)

Here's a question for you: What's going with Epstein? Why is there a painting of Bill Clinton in a dress at Epstein's? Is this the same Bill Clinton who lied to the entire world and said, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"?

Again, you're being lied to and manipulated, as usual.

> suppress opponents votes though arbitrary requirements

If you think proof of citizenship is an arbitrary requirement to vote, you're a brainwashed tool used by people much smarter than you. Do you really think it would be okay for me to travel to another country and vote in their elections without me actually being a citizen of that country?
I do a lot of travel for family reasons, and even a cheap airbnb (Joe Schmoe's extra bedroom) is better than a budget hotel.

Hotel WiFi is generally way worse than what you get in someone's house, so's the work surface. I don't need housekeeping services, and access to a kitchen can really help with healthy eating.

Eurozone is a horrible term to use here, as some nations are pegged to the Euro or have adopted it with no issuing rights or have promised to adopt it. We are talking about specifically about EU governments with partial issuing rights that sell Euro-denominated debt. Like Germany.

One risk (of many different kinds of financial risk) with buying debt denominated in Euros from EU governments is that if such a nation is economically worse off than the others nations that also have Euro issuing rights at the time of bond maturity, then the chance of default goes up substantially. As happened quite recently with Greece.

This is not a type of risk faced with nations with their own sovereign currencies. Default is still possible, but devaluation is a safety valve.
The US does not have a law requiring you to have an id. Requiring people to have one is making the assumption that every person in the US can afford the time and money to obtain one, as well as the physical ability to do so.

If you cannot make this assumption, then you are actively disenfranchising people.
coed does not mean female...
You're missing the point about IDs being incredibly easy to obtain. They are not in the US. Additionally, there's a long history of using voting requirements to disenfranchise voters.

I can't comment on the countries in the picture you've linked. I'll guess that most or all of them make it both easy and required to have a national ID card. That is not the case in the United States.

Consider a working class non-driver who has never travelled overseas. What is their ID?

Would you propose a new state or federal ID card? Great. How likely is it that the state or federal government will produce a system for issuing these that is easy to access, widely available, free, quick to issue IDs, etc? How likely do you think it is that politicians will attempt to modify the system for issuing these IDs so that their opponents' voters will find it more challenging to receive them?

If your answer is "likely" and "unlikely" respectively, you are naive to the history of voter disenfranchisement and vote-system-gaming in the United States. Much of it is based on race.
Spotify used to have a direct message feature, but discontinued it.
That seems like a foolish argument. The time horizon in which we discovered smoking was bad for you was decades, and over a massive population of users.

E-Cigarettes are only now becoming mainstream, and have only been in use for the better half of a decade.

We wont truly know the effects until we have a large sample size over a long period of time.

Ultimately, saying it's conclusively better for you than smoking is short sighted. We thought smoking was good for you in the 1920s...
Are you afraid the Postgres tuple-at-a-time iterator architecture is going to be limiting for your long term performance optimizations?

Presumably the custom operators you’ve implemented in your query plan can push projection and predicates down to a more efficient architecture without so many indirect function calls / branches / etc, but once you get up past that, aren’t you back in iterator land?
Thank you for your efforts in making the world a better place.

I wished more people recognized this. Yes, the Republicans are cheating but we know the Democrats did too and nothing happened.

We need to realize that companies run this company. Us vs Them or RED vs BLUE is just to distract us from this fact while we get fleeced and so we have "an enemy" to blame for all of our ills. Most of the big companies and individuals put money into both sides of the equation. They don't actually care who wins. They will leverage that $1M donation into $5B in contracts on threat of only backing the challenger in the next cycle.
i’m not convinced that this is true because they can embrace the Uber or AirBnB business models to do just that. If They can be Tech companies, WeWork can too.

I suspect that the value is in the brand, just like with the Uber or AirBnB. Making a booking software or mobile app is not such a big deal but they are called tech companies for some reason.
Yep, and we have every right to laugh at their stupidity.
Interesting, because according to Norsk Hydro and various Brazilian authorities there never were overflows or leaks. [0]

"Around the time of the floods, there were local reports that the floods had affected the residue deposits and rumors circulated that they had overflowed into the surrounding area and contaminated local communities. The Brazilian authorities were likewise concerned and initiated multiple inspections of Alunorte."

This tariff situation is quickly becoming an amazing opportunity for developing countries. The labor shortages being talked about can only be resolved through higher wages, which means that the people at the bottom will get a cut of the new money. In the end the world will be a lot richer and the money will be in the hands of relatively livable countries like Vietnam. (The Vietnamese government is actually pretty good in terms of freedoms.)

It's also politically preferable for the US to depend on a hundred small countries instead of one big competitor. It may also help cushion the next global recession, as each of these international markets will be less correlated with each other than one company in China is with another company in China.

Chinese companies are very tightly integrated with the government's balance sheets, meaning that you can't diversify within China. If one company goes under that means the subsidies ran out, and that means all the other subsidies are running out, which means the economy is toast.

No. The deal with bonds is that they have just been a way better risk-adjusted investment than stocks. An optimal portfolio still owns stocks but the point of all these approaches (risk-parity, much of the hedge fund industry pre-2008) was just owning levered govt bonds...that was it. Correlation is a minor part of that story (although it is very important).

And this effect isn't driving the price (imo). What is driving this is risk aversion, central banks, and regulatory requirements to hold risk-free securities (most investors aren't sophisticated enough to be doing portfolio math). Also, it is no coincidence that the worst affected countries (Germany/Japan) are those with risk-averse populations, crazy central bankers, and completely dysfunctional banking sectors.

The alternative is: property, commodities, private business, etc. But remember, the financial world has gone crazy...but the rest of the world is just going on as normal. This is part of the problem: central bankers believed they were geniuses and could control the real economy by fiat...well, they can't. Their world will go down in flames but everything else will likely continue as normal. Investing is not about risk-free rates or volatility/beta-adjusted portfolios, it is about providing capital to business for growth. These opportunities still exist, the financial world of central banks is (these days) unrelated to this.
That list is wrong. I'm in the UK, we don't need ID to register or vote here.
>Being placed on leave is not the same as taking time off

The only quote on the matter is

“Mustafa is taking time out right now after 10 hectic years,”

That does not state he was 'placed on leave' the author of the article claims it, to me the direct quote reads as "he's burnt out and wants to take some time off but plans to come back"

"placed on leave" makes a better headline than "is taking a break" and isn't inflammatory enough to result in any legal action and at worst there will be a "editor's note: we have since learned he has chosen to take time off and have edited the article as such"

Retailiated as in he was banned from their bug bounty program. The program with a scope that they went outside of. I think it's reasonable to be banned.

Obviously it would be better if Valve fixed the issue and gave a (possibly reduced due to out of scope) bounty.
>Identity is confirmed when a ballot is issued.

That is not necessarily true in the US. If I vote in person on election day in my town (I usually vote by mail or earlier at town hall) I give my address but do not have to present an ID.
You're missing we live on a third world country where the government never solve basic issues like this.
Sure thing. A couple of points:

1. 90% of people with HSV2 allegedly don't know about it, because it's not a standard STD test you'll be given unless you have an outbreak
2. People with these conditions aren't parading about it, there's no upside to it, so most just keep it to themselves and their doctors. People are afraid of being "outed". Some will go so far as not to tell the people they're hooking up with about it. (not ethically recommended / legal, but that's humans for you)
As remote work increases (and capital starts flowing consistently to remote-oriented companies), I think we're going to see a shift in the personality types and skill sets of successful managers. Specifically, touchy-feely socializers are going to have a harder time because a) more documentation of previous communication makes backtracking more difficult and b) social manipulation is distinctly different when verbal vs text.
good enough for that
While I don’t agree with all of his ideas, Joe Rogan himself doesn’t either. He’s changed his mind openly on many topics. I admire that. He’ll invite a guest he knows he’ll disagree with (e.g. Andrew Yang on Basic Income) and genuinely try to understand how they got there, without hammering on his own convictions. After three hours he walks away with a more nuanced take on the topic, and will openly admit to that. Where else do you see this these days.

Again, I don’t like all of his opinions, but from his podcast I also learn that I don’t have to, and actually, that that’s the way forward. People being able to talk to eachother even if there are profound disagreements.

He’s also not afraid to ask “stupid questions”, so that all questions get asked. Which is great because presumably not all listeners are expert in all things, either, and hearing it from a-z makes all the podcasts accessible.
You don't have to make it explicit that you're targeting a specific group. If there is a correlation between groups that tend to drive less, and the groups that you don't want to vote, all you have to do is to require a driver license and that imposes an extra burden on the people that you don't want to vote, whereas populations that tend to drive, they already have a driver license and need no farther work to exercise their right to vote. It's so happens that poor people, communities of color, and the elderly tend to drive less.

In Spain everybody has a mandatory ID, and it is very easy and cheap or even free to get it. In that context it makes sense to require an ID. In the US, for cultural reasons, there is a lot of reluctance toward a national ID.
Currency is mildly decoupled from purchasing power.

Here's how you look at it. You give me $20K today, and I promise to give you $19K back in 30 years. The question is two-fold.

(1) What else would you do with that money, that would offer you a better return, factoring all externalities. Holding cash isn't free once you account for risks like getting robbed holding bills your house burns down, you get fake bills, and potentially-negative interest rates at a bank. If you see the market going down you're not going to put it there either.

(2) How much will $20K today dollars buy you as compared to $19K future dollars? If you're betting on deflation, then that $19K future dollars may buy you a house where $20K today dollars may buy you a car.
People have time to discuss and learn. We are just not that stupid. And given we can make wages sane, there is ample time. Our First Amendment is predicated on that reality.

If they actually do not, and in my experience they do, but for sake of argument, say they do not, ok?

Then we need an actual public service with a charter to inform, not profit. That is something I totally support, and the very first thing it does is remedial education.

I am fine either way, but much prefer we educate people to think for themselves as I was educated in freaking grade school.

Yes, 6th grade. The topics were:

Advertising forms and compare contrast to propaganda forms. (This was awesome. Everyone loved it, and we all made our own ADS and propaganda to boot.)

Bias in news and opinion. Identify it, labor, big business, right, left, etc... determine whether the entity represents its bias honestly, or not. Why?

Seek diversity of info. Bias is always there. Not a problem once identified. Liars about bias often miss facts and publish low clarity info, making it hard to differentiate fact from opinion too. Never a bad thing to think about. Drives seeking diversity.

All the domestic major media today misrepresent their bias, and it is most often an economic misrepresentation. Almost nothing is published from the labor POV, for example.

The little backassward town I came from got this right. Was not hard, was interesting, useful and became a part of who we were and how we operate.

We could put an end to this garbage in a generation with similar education, coupled with a follow up on critical thinking basics. (Which I also got along with solid civics a couple years later.)

Our ongoing efforts to water down basic, primary education has costs and risks attached.

We are discussing those today. Time for a fix.

Given this perspective, the Rogan show is good value, frankly and honestly presented. Many do much worse, and they claim a lot more legitimacy too.
It’s harmful to me because it adds costs to development and use of technology. So it increases costs for no value and reduces my bonus payout.

Moral requirements to protect patient info has absolutely nothing to do with MITM traffic to employee banking sessions, etc.

There’s very little empirical data showing benefit of this for data loss prevention or intrusion detection. What I’ve seen is security theater by companies who make money selling these products.

The other option I have, other than quitting, is to improve company policy to focus resources away from wasteful spending toward productive. As well as to try to influence browser vendors to block this. Fortunately if Chrome and Firefox go a step further and block this behavior for companies then it’s not practical for an organization to spend money to purchase a different browser. This is possible since Microsoft went to chromium.

Obviously, I can also use my own device.

Having conducted a reasonable amount of academic and scientific research, this metric is more likely to be mischaracterizing research than revealing any issues. This doesn't even establish a causal-link between self-citation and poor research quality, it just assumes it.

Most researchers continue to do new research on the same concept after a publication, and they will of course site their earlier work when continuing. Additionally, post-graduate researchers often have their names placed on the research of grad students they are in charge of, even though they often have minimal involvement in the research or conclusions drawn.

You might be able tell something from the ratio of other authors from all citations to the number of self-citations, but only if you could eliminate self citations that were not either inclusion by proxy or cases where they are merely continuing research on the same topic with new methodologies.

There are already methods for identifying bad research, none of which can be achieved through the use of non-human-assisted data analysis of the authors list of research. The only way to be sure is critical review and 3rd party verification of results with repeated experiments.
Absolutely not. But I don’t think sanctions are a great idea.
