(I am the OP.)

The cynic in me says it's just gamification to maximize site owner's net worth.

But maybe it's like "teaching to the test", where if you're teaching to a well regarded test, you're actually doing a good class.

Extending the analogy, if the site's value is well aligned with your self-value (quality of the test), then playing the site's score game (teaching to the test) may be beneficial to you?

Here's an example: I invested some time a few years ago to improve the quality of a few Wikipedia articles. I later found very similar reasoning to what I got into these articles in legislative debates. I think I had a hand in influencing something important to me by updating Wikipedia.
Many players feel this way.

That essay you point to doesn't mention conscientiousness or even the big five personality traits.

Of the Big Five personality traits Conscientiousness is the only one strongly predictive of life success. It's the difference between starting a project and petering out or finishing it. It's the difference between self destructive behaviour and grit.

Do we really need to split hairs like this? The algorithms aren't completely opaque, as they have been trained on a set of representative inputs, and are continuously monitored. They are based on neural networks, presumably, with weights inspectable by the engineers deploying the model. So it is more "nebulous" and not completely opaque.
Your POV comes across much more sensible in this answer, to me. It's become clear how families in societies tend to make fewer children as the civilization progresses. People in some underdeveloped countries try to make a large number of children because the child mortality is so high, and there's a dire need for manual labor. So one way to do better is work towards improving the situation in underdeveloped countries. In developed countries very rarely you see mothers of 8, and a target fertility rate of "below 1", as you stated, is nonsense.

You'll have to pardon my bluntness, I've seen many self proclaimed environmentalists straight up advocate and encourage women to never have children for the sake of the planet.

I have the same issue here in Croatia, and I spend a lot of time on the islands. There is no such thing as medivac (air rescue) here.

The solution to this is to get an International SOS plan, which covers pre-existing conditions. I know all about this because my sister was an expat living in one of the most corrupt countries in the world, Equatorial Guinea (Africa). If one became gravely ill there, you would be medevac-ed to Munich, Germany. Hers was an employer sponsored plan though.

You only have to declare one of your nationalities (as in citizenships) when filling out the forms, and I confirmed that this was proper procedure (you can also reside in the country of your nationality under the terms and conditions of the expat plan). I declared myself as a United States citizen. You also state where you plan on living the majority of the year (Croatia). The expat plan is something like $750/year, which may seem expensive. However, if the incident is severe they will also repatriate you back to your home country of citizenship. In my case, this would be the United States. I want to be repatriated where my family is, if I get gravely ill.

If you get very sick in Croatia and need to be medevac-ed out, they fly you to Vienna, Austria.

Here are where the "expatriate plans" are: https://buymembership.internationalsos.com/expatriate/
You should give it back, noticing a domain is expired and registering it is not a hack to be proud of, honestly it's kind of a dick move that anyone with $1.99 can pull off. You're also not teaching anyone any lessons by saying they should have updated their contact info and enabled auto-renewal with the registrar. It's most likely due to a simple processing error or simple administrative mistake neglecting to update their card on file, etc. But take down the public shaming statement from the website and let them take back their domain.
> only to neglect the domain name

I'd bet that they started doing it, had zero uptake, cancelled the project, didn't bother re-printing promo material or renewing domains. QR codes are still too geeky (and maybe will always be).
That's https://cr.yp.to/slashpackage.html which is dated at least 2001. It's not quite the same to the Nix approach though, which also tracks all direct and transitive dependencies.
Basically, a representative who splits the network by commiting two conflicting votes is (AIUI) by definition defective, and any representative that observes both potential blocks knows that, and can propagate that knowledge to any representative it communicates with (which must be most of them in order for them know what that (observing) representative's vote was). And once most representatives know that a vote was spoiled, they can throw it out (along with the two blocks it distiguishes between, although I think those still need to stored, just the transactions in them are treated as not having happened).

But, as I said, I'm not sure about the logistics/provable-correctness of making sure that the half of the network that voted one way and the half that voted the other way always have a chance to compare notes soon enough to catch a spoiled vote.
So, assuming YouTube makes some manual adjustments to their algorithm to not flag/ban chess content, I wonder if actual hate speech will start pretending to be chess content in order to avoid detection.

> What’s clear is that there’s a vicious circle of perception and reality in terms of gender imbalance. And that schools, universities and industry are failing to show young people – and especially girls – the realities of technology jobs and careers in today’s world.

> Despite such exciting opportunities, girls aren’t considering technology as a career – partly because nobody is putting it forward as a possible option. While 33% of male respondents say they’ve had a career in technology suggested to them, the figure for females is only 16% – a glaring lack of advice that’s helping to reinforce the stereotype of a male dominated industry.
Datasette is actually fun to use. The examples I’ve tried have blown me away with how well they work. The github to sqlite utility, the geojson functionality for rendering boundary areas on a leaflet js map, the transform feature of sqlite-utils... it’s a great tool in the toolbox and so easy to get started:

pipx install datasette
datasette sqlite.db
And what do you do to force them to confirm the reason? That's right, get it to be so high up on HN.
Hmm yeah this is precisely the point where I haven’t quite got things straight.

I think the assumption I’m making is that the sale of coins you made to the third party is a trade between people in the market: you’re up $1899 but the new entrant is down $2000 until someone pays them.

Whereas the $101 from the miner is actual capital extracted from the market.

Of course, at some point the person who bought your two coins could find some kind of productive use for them and generate income from them (a new crypto finance or blockchain business management?).

But that hasn’t happened yet so to date the value taken out of the system is miner’s earnings.

However, I believe you’re correct. In terms of market liquidity the actual miner’s earnings doesn’t really matter. What matters is the state of market liquidity and how many people still want to invest. During a peak the actual inflows could be quite large.

The bit I’m trying to reason through is how much of the total $1 trillion market cap can actually be sold at once.

Current miner inflows are about $1.8 billion per month at present market prices, they’re selling 120% of what they mine based on stats I saw.

But clearly other money could flow in. Do you know any good way to estimate it?
I heard some seasoned folks at a Diplomacy group describe that media coverage... IIRC, they considered it to miss much of the spirit of the game. I think ongoing people who enjoy it have a special ability to value the game dynamics without taking it personally.
I’m not sure I made that comparison. I’m saying the popularity of containers is an existence proof that the distro-oriented shared library system is failing to meet the needs of common use cases.

Programs that bundle dependencies have a radically reduced need for snapshots, VMs, or containers. Such tools do provide a variety of value. But they don’t become virtually requirements to merely launch a program without error.

Ship your damn dependencies says I. Either statically or dynamically, but ship them.

There's a simpler explanation. Stem is all about persistent laser focused attention on specific measurable things, and females are less inclined to like this activity.
I don’t know that, but with the present lack of information I was venturing a low information guess simply because the aircraft is otherwise very reliable in all its variants. In any case it looks like groundings are currently being ordered only for 777s with the P&W engines because they uniquely have hollow fan blades.
Sometimes if you give a good answer it will just sit there collecting points for all eternity. I did that a couple of times and I have several thousand points after a few years.
Recently watched `Judas and The Black Messiah` which is a movie on the assasination of Fred Hampton.

Highly recommend people check it out. Great performances about pivotal members of civil rights history. As an immigrant to America, I never hear people mention Fred along with MLK/MX even though he and the Black Panthers were such big features. I think this is largely due to the public imagery around the Panthers.

Also not to keep things in media about important people, but I recommend people listen to any Rage Against The Machine tracks to highlight pieces of American history that may be glossed over and exposed in a really raw and accessible way.

I would never in my sane mind buy a car which relies on an Internet connection for anything beyond updating maps or loading music.
It was an honest debate. Your naivete just got called out by a throwaway account, and you then proceeded to throw in the towel.
As a materialist, I am not particularly taken by this particular argument (which is not to say that I would summarily reject other arguments to the same end.)

It's weakness, I think, is in the claim that the United States has all the types of properties that materialists tend to regard as characteristic of conscious beings.

If you favor some form of panpsychism (especially in the form that, for example, regards buildings with thermostats as conscious), I imagine you are probably well-disposed to this view, but if, like me, you feel that this is an unhelpful generalization that equivocates over some important differences between thermostats and self-aware organisms, then the problem with the author's thesis is that we do not really know what it is about the latter that is truly characteristic of conscious beings in a causal sense.

Here's an analogy: amyloid plaques seem to be characteristic of Alzheimer's disease, but we don't know if they are a cause, a consequence, an epiphenomenon or even just coincidental, so we cannot assume that a treatment clearing the plaques would cure the disease.

Therefore, I don't hold out much hope for the argument presented here contrubuting much towards our understanding of the causal mechanisms of self-aware consciousness.
To be fair, it's probably worth registering and then offering it to the original owner at cost to prevent a more malicious user from holding it hostage.

We do, because in terms of writing english black boxes are opaque by their very nature. OP could remove "black boxes" to make the sentence correct.

You can't actually see inside a black box. That's why it's a "black box". Sure you can probe it, but that's not the same as being "nebulous", a thing you can actually see through sometimes. I expect better of HN.

If you miss a word in a conversation, you automatically fill it in. This is usually pretty reliable even with unfamiliar material, since if you follow standard grammar rules there's a decent amount of redundancy. Sometimes, though, this doesn't work. You think you were paying attention, but you missed parts and filled them in with what you wanted to hear.

Ideally there is a back and forth that checks that important information was correctly passed on. Failing that, some redundancy can make a big difference.

> Games don't exist without players.

Of course they do. Just because a game isn't being played doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Or at least, the rules do.

In a world of 7 billion humans, all you need is 2 to be the first movers and start playing. If the game is rewarding to the players, then it will continue to attract more players and grow until the size of the network of players itself becomes a huge part of the value of playing.

Games are just a protocol. And if the protocol is useful and better than other protocols, or has some first/second mover advantage, then the network using the protocol will grow until it saturates the addressable nodes.
This "simple administrative mistake" could easily lead to the next SolarWind-style breach in a different setting. A nonchalant attitude towards site reliability engineering is exactly what is not needed.
Of course not.

But they have actually acted in such a way as to completely obliterate any credibility they had. From lying about masks being useful (Fauci), to the WHO carrying water for China, to the "it's 100% proven zoonosis, couldn't possibly be a lab creation), to the rapid shift away from any commentary about IFR/CFR once it became clear that it was an order of magnitude off.

What's strange is I'm not arguing against crazy strict measures during a deadly pandemic. What I'm arguing is that we have learned a lot about this coronavirus, which is just one of thousands/millions of coronaviruses, and even though we learned it was nothing like what we feared, the policy response never changed.

Where I work, our code-review system allows anyone to push changes to any PR (provided they have permissions for the repo). It’s a great solution for people who have strong opinions on nit-picky things: they can just make trivial reasonable changes (eg rename a variable called x) instead of leaving a comment asking the author to make them. There’s obviously some middle ground like “I didn’t understand this function so I tried rewriting it: ... <new code> ... what do you think?” And it doesn’t work if you can’t have a good interaction with colleagues or if someone is too nitpicky. So it basically still works fine.

One funny issue I had was when two reviews each attempted to make what appeared to be a trivial change only to have the code fail to compile. We added a comment the second time.
Not to mention, that there are countries that ask you to renounce your other citizenships when taking theirs (Dutch citizenship comes to mind).

Physical monism. Only one type of “thing” exists and it is physical/material. Contrast with dualism e.g Cartesian substance dualism (body and soul are different substances) or theories like idealism (monist, but only the mental exists).
