> The simple answer to this problem, and many other problems, is that the exercise of giving clouds of atoms in vicinity to one another “identities” is not one based in salient thought. — there is no such thing.

Are you implying identies don't exist? Because that either has to be sophistry (i.e. trolling) or insanity.

In this system https://v.cent.co/ anyone can bid for a tweet, and it's up to the actual Twitter user who created the tweet to verify ownership and mint/sell the NFT via their system. All you own by buying it is the token, the real owner of the tweet could delete it any time :) see what I mean about mania?
Hey I’m just curious to know how is it different when compared to HackerNews
"Do it the right way!" is not very helpful advice, though.

We want to be able to say that one type of OOP is good and another is bad with relatively specific examples. We should have different terms for those types.

You did the equivalent of replying to someone talking about nutritional tactics with "tl;dr eat healthy". Yeah, figuring out healthy is why we're here, looking at these different techniques and sub-techniques and figuring out at what point they become counterproductive.
> You can brag about owning such-and-such an image, but only as long as enough other people desire images from that particular set. When a set's popularity wanes, so does your token's value, and your ability to show it off.

And only as long as people recognize your NFT claim to ownership as even being valid. Other people may view that brag as being as sad as someone bragging about their land holdings on the moon: https://lunarland.com/.
Well, the economies of scale come from capital concentration. Since the money all flows through the parent, they have capital to use to improve their likely hood of success. Not just financial capital, but human capital too.
I was thinking they would still make the physical baseball card, but also provide the purchaser with a NFT linked to that specific card that includes the card's metadata, etc.

This way you have the physical card to display, and have the NFT as a proof of authenticity and ownership.
It still makes for a great incentive to label any deaths they couldn't prevent a Covid death.

Are there a meaningful number of people on the capital side who didn’t support Biden? (Or Obama for that matter?)

Labor’s politics usually doesn’t match capital’s and management’s. In the auto industry owners and managers long voted Republican and workers voted Democrat, for obvious reasons. I’ve always found it odd that didn’t seem to be true for tech. At the very least, it’s a pretty aggressive bet on the AOC/Warren wing never taking power.

This is not a comment on the merits. I think Wu is a bright guy and some antitrust scrutiny of tech is probably in order.

> you're not on their side, you're speaking as if you're above them

This is a common sentiment with American conservatives. They think liberal people look down upon them from their ivory towers. Honestly, they do. Your average conservative is malnourished with a fox news media diet and isn't educated enough to critically think about their own positions, you can't even engage in a rational conversation with most of them. The GOP at large is a bad faith party who rules for power and dominance, not for the improvement of peoples lives. Rhetoric is their weapon not reason.

While liberals are not in favor of white supremacy, religion, or "easy fixes" they do favor policy that would benefit the average conservative person. In the sense that liberals want to see conservative peoples lives meaningfully improve, liberals are on the side of conservatives. In the sense that liberals want to preserve conservative culture and reinforce their world views, liberals are clearly not on the side of conservatives.

China has it's own Han supremacy problem (just like America has a white supremacy problem), and while the west is not interested in supporting Han supremacy, I think the average [educated] westerner does want to see the average chinese persons life improve, just not at the cost of Taiwanese lives, Uigher lives, Tibetan lives, or Hong Konger lives, and not at the cost of our own prosperity.
Ah yes. The cloud that we (society) have become so accustomed to. Keeping in mind, this definition often always refers to either Google's or Apple's storage plans.

I believe one of the reasons for phones nowadays that come with 64GB or less storage, is you can push this limitation with cloud backup.
Yeah, you could plausibly just transfer these things by having each owner sign an attestation of the new owner's public key. But since it looks like this junk will happen on a publicly accessible slow computer/database, I'm just hoping it happens on e.g. Solana instead of Ethereum.
How so ?? can you be specific
It's a bad idea because the energy used is worse than wasted since all it does is contribute to an increase in the mining difficulty for the entire network, thus worsening the environmental impact. It's actually better for the environment to leave that energy completely unused rather than use it for mining bitcoins.
You should try looking up what an "externality" is again, because this is almost a canonical example of one.

Are NFTs actually decentralized? I heard they run on the ethereum network, but not too sure if thats universal. Also, what happens if someone starts uploading illegal content? Is there a method for deletion once an NFT is 'minted'?
> NFTs make perfect sense for representing a claim on things that can be used, like event tickets or in-game virtual goods.

There’s absolutely no reason for that to be decentralized, only one party can honor the tokens anyways. Like most things crypto they don’t actually make sense for anything.
the "video itself" doesn't really exist. If you're on Windows and use MPC, you can test this yourself - use WMV9 as a renderer, take a PNG screenshot, then switch to NVENC, and take a screenshot at the same timestamp. You'll notice that on most videos, the screenshots are not the same (with NVEnc introducing macroblocking in darkness, which WMV9 gradients out properly). Using the rendered video as a source of truth instead of the source material itself would be as big of a mistake as using Photoshop on a JPEG.

> So you need a google quality malware detection filter to allow user content upload on your site? That's a pretty big barrier to entry.

No, but IF you allow people to anonymously upload malware to your site, Google-quality malware detection filters will absolutely do what they were designed to do and detect the malware on your site.

I just don't understand the people insisting on arguing that somehow this was a false positive. Google was right! This site was hosting malware! It's true it wasn't "intentionally" hosting malware, and that it was designed for benign purposes.

Which is to say, you are demanding that Google forgive this site automatically based on intent and not evidence. And sadly, while Google may have Google-quality malware detection filters, they haven't yet cracked the nut of thought crime detection.

There is an interesting discussion going on in the recent Microsoft Exchange hack thread about firm's periodically rebuilding their IT infrastructures to protect against malware that shows some convergent thinking that might interest you: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26367534

I like your idea. What do you think would be the first step to getting there?

I have a client in the controls systems space, a systems integrator that helps municipalities update the systems that keep the water running, and one concern that occurred to me while investigating their business requirements is how the systems they work on are becoming less and less able to recover from certain attacks as the components that make them work become purely digital and electronically controlled. Perhaps we should begin engraving the contents of wikipedia on clay tablets, just in case.

Vessel masses are considered, but room temperature is not, which makes steeping and cooling times meaningless. When winter and summer room temperatures vary by over 15 degrees Celcius, techniques must vary.
Bruce Schneier had a section on recognizing snake oil encryption. One of the things that gave it away was a ridiculous key length. “Standard AES uses 256 but keys, but ours uses 10,000 bit keys, so ours is much better.”

In terms of using randomness is crypto, you actually don’t need that much. If you have 256 bits, or 512 bits for an crazy amount of safety factor, you should be good to go. A lot of the secure PRNG’s are built in the same principles as our encryption algorithms. If we don’t trust those, we likely have much bigger issues with the foundations of cryptography.
Yakindu comes to mind as one (if you aren't allergic to eclipse :-) )

not an engine, but (in the name...) a transmission - a mechnism for transmitting power from the engine to the wheels. normally cars use a gearbox (automatic or manual) and possibly a driveshaft (to connect to the wheels that are at the other end from the engine.)
That’s a dead easy argument to debunk. If each visa payment used 600kWh like a Bitcoin transaction visa alone would consume 3x as much power as the entire world generates and produce 100% of the worlds ewaste. So no, the status quo is orders of magnitude more efficient on a unit basis by definition.
Merge conflicts get put into a special conflicts table. You have to resolve them one by one just like text conflicts from a git merge. You can do this with the command line or with SQL.

It's true we don't support SSH remotes yet. Wouldn't be too hard to add though. File an issue if this is preventing you from using the product. Or use sshfs, which is a pretty simple workaround.
Weird that multiple people downvoted this.

Mining wastes power on purpose. Transactions don't waste power on purpose, and there are designs that make them minimally expensive.
But don't use soap, which reduces the surface tension and lets water get past seals. At the start of the pandemic I used soapy water on my iphone 11 and the faceid sensor broke immediatly. Apple replaced the phone, though.
> How would an NFT be better than the above database in any way?

It wouldn't depend on the benevolence of a third-party absorbing the cost of running the index.

It would be geographically and culturally agnostic. Zoom out here and notice how little of the World's population is involved:
https://map.bikewise.org/#0/84/-77

It would be globally unique and would not require the cooperation of manufacturers. Neither of my two bikes has a serial number because they're 'too old'. Other bikes have conflicting serial numbers.

It would eliminate the privacy and security risks of maintaining a central database of PII and associated valuable assets.

Less RPi and more PLC[1], although there is a RPi in the house to pick off modbus data and stuff it into Grafana(over a point-to-point wifi bridge). If you combine Digikey and Automation Direct(along with a clever hack of running ~50% SSR PWM to run DC->~AC for cheap irrigation solenoids) you can put together some fun automation for a fraction of "real" industrial automation prices(although it's still spendy).

I like PLCs a bit more since they're dead simple to program and designed to handle a harsher environment than the RPi. They also have a whole host of I/O options and everything in industrial automation is standardized(-ish) so that you can interop between vendors for their different specialties.

One of the most fun part of the project was running the whole thing from solar, we have irrigation water so I build a neat little PID controller in the PLC that runs to a hefty Solid State Relay connected to a RV water pump with variable speed/flow. If you bypass the pressure relay, put in an appropriately sized flyback diode and use the SSR to do PWM it works quite well. It's no 3-phase VFD that you find on well pumps but it's held up well over the last year(and gave me an excuse to get a cheap hand-held scope to verify I had the flyback diode sized correctly).

I suspect if you had some genuinely good reason why you wanted it, and asked real nicely, and provided some way to transport the data, you might be able to make an arrangement of some sort to get it.

Ethereum is the most common, but not the only blockchain people build NFTs on.

As far as I understand, for space reasons they usually do not put the actual content on the chain, but a pointer to it (e.g. a hash that can be looked up on IPFS).

AFAIK other blockchain things solve the illegal content problem by having lists of content they'll not show and that appears to have been enough for now. (e.g. there's been various blockchain-based social media projects that had the same question long ago)
Sounds like an investment in the energy sector is worthwhile now. Make money selling the shovels (reference to the gold rush where shovel sellers made more than people looking for gold, i.e. valuable NFT's and cryptos being "gold" here)
They are under AGPL. Self hosting is next to impossible.
NVENC is definitely limited -- it only supports H.264, H.265, and H.266. :P But it's absolutely the wrong thing to use for quality video encoding, since it introduces awful artifacting. GPGPU programs for H.264 is being limited, since CUVID is still seen as "good enough" so I've seen support for this in Blender, and nothing else.
ICOs were the NFT of 2017 for sure; still waiting on my dentacoin investment to pay off ;)
The Most Toxic Place I Have Ever Worked
This isn’t necessarily true: if the subsidies spread clean power generation then the percentage of miners that have bad environmental impacts will decrease over time. Also, since this would make relatively clean power sources cheaper, it would help phase out fossil generation capacity.
Yup, would you have tried to reach out if you knew beforehand that they were Indian (and not from the majority demographic)

The NFT is proof that you purchased the item, but it's not proof that what is in your possession is the the thing the NFT claims it is.
Neither the content nor the ownership is protected by the NFT. The NFT has literally no connection to the content at all, except that someone said, "Hey, buy this and you own the 'original'!" Except in all things digital, "original" means absolutely nothing.

Last month I had a family member go to the hospital (things are okay now). We called an ambulance and then followed it to as it took a route to the hospital that was twenty minutes longer than necessary. When we arrived, we asked if they were using navigation and they confirmed that they were not.

In our case things were fine but I couldn't help but think that that's definitely cost lives before.

Perhaps the results of hand transplantation procedures, which have already been carried out successfully [1], could provide some insight into this question.

The functionality that hand transplant recipients obtain from the transplant apparently varies, but the results can be quite impressive. The Wikipedia article notes one recipient was able to use his transplanted hand to drink from a bottle of water a week after the procedure, and tie shoelaces after a few months.

If brains can successfully adapt to controlling a transplanted hand, under the right circumstances perhaps they can also adapt to multiple transplanted limbs, or a whole body.

The computers, electronic and especially HiFi gear were much more expensive back then. Check out old computer prices and then adjust them for inflation. For a real eye-catching number, express it as a percentage of the average annual American worker's income for that year.

I think the other big difference is that stuff is less portable back then. Computers, hifi, and consumer electronics are plugged into a fixed location and they stay there for the lifetime of the product. That is not the case anymore, so specialized surge protection equipment, don't often make sense. You are not taking the surge protector to bed with your laptop. Or, you have an iPad.
No, if x = -0.0 then x+0 = 0.0 and x*0 = -0.0. This violates fundamental tenets of arithmetic, surprises most, and makes many compiler optimizations impossible.

The majority of my unpleasant experiences abroad were taxi related, regardless of the country.

-In SF got shouted at because I calculated wrong the tip

-Seoul a driver told me I owed him 10x what was agreed with other drivers joining in (scary)

-In Lisbon the famous "this restaurant is closed today I will take you to another one" (from what I understood they get commission) got me twice

-Barcelona the driver "hid" a high bill and told me I gave him 5€ bill instead (I showed him the receipt from the ATM where I just took the money before paying him since his machine "did not work")

Uh...no?

These can trivially be copied (double spent), which means they're just as scarce as any digital data. Valueless without some significant proof of violence and hyper censorship ability enforcing copyright protection.

The primary revolution of bitcoin was the invention of self enforcing digital scarcity.
yes, but the article says it's piecewise 15 parts. I imagine for brevity it's not in there.

"Don't worry, we'll be on PoS soon!" is what the crypto space has been saying for years, and as far as I can tell right now the majority of NFTs are done on PoW chains, and still people doing them trumpet "but soon!!" instead of putting their money where their mouth is and actually using a PoS setup today. As mentioned elsewhere, some actually do, props for that, but the overall impression of the crypto space is that they're completely fine with deflecting to some point in the future, and then they shouldn't be surprised if people judge what's actually done and not what's possible and are a bit tired of that argument.
“exist"? I would hardly use such words in this frame of reference.

I'm saying that “identities” are a fuzzy human “You know it when you see it, and different men see it differently.” category that is bereft of any definition that can be objectively measured and reasoned about, and that what I just said is a trivial and obvious conclusion.

They “exist” in the same way that borders between different oceans exist, arbitrarily drawn, and different people will think differently as to where they lie.

If you wish to call that an “existence”, then be my guest, though many others would præfer to not call it such. — ironically the border between “existence” and “nonexistence” is of a similar quality.

In regular taxis, you will get more money if you drive the longer route i.e. there is a very strong incentive to be increasingly dishonest.
I’m not. I’m saying by scaling just one small corner to bitcoins inefficiency it cannot be true as it would use 3x the worlds power supply. It cannot be true by induction. If we scaled those aspects up too we’d be taking hundreds or thousands of times more power than the world generates. By doing that id actually be making my argument stronger.
