Right, so you agree? This thread is about counter culture, and your talking about generic internet usage facts and % of playstation sales when it went mainstream. I played Wolf and Doom as shareware in Australia when they were released, including Kali.

> Prop. A lost in a landslide; some 77 percent of San Francisans voted to preserve a monopoly and stave off competitive bidding. Oh well. In voting down Prop. A, San Franciscans also spurned the idea of putting garbage rates in the hands of the Board of Supervisors — instead of the body dominated by Nuru which recently upped our rates by more than 20 percent.

Apparently the rich techies couldn't be bothered to actually do something not in front of a computer and actually support the proposition.
The recent hype is unfounded. NFTs are simply tokens like others, but the difference is that the tokens itself are unique.

A normal token is like having 5 dollars, with no individual/per token owner, history or storage.

With an NFT you will have 5 times 1 dollar with their own owner, history and storage.

Their value should be based on the legal contract or utility that they represents. Which often is 0.

For programmers it should be easy to understand.

Token: key value store of a global userid->amount

NFT:
NFT class (name, jpg checksum, jpgurl) for example

And a global key value store of: userid->NFT instance

Anyone know how to get this version running on a Mac? Trying to brew upgrade it fails:

sqlite is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because macOS already provides this software and installing another version in

And checking installed version:

Interesting. The lack of security is probably why I don't see them in the EU (would be surprised if they were legal to sell as cars).

If you use secure protocols then the VPNs ISP should have no way of linking your good with your bad browsing, whereas your ISP sees where the cable is running from and can link everything you view (as far as the IP or hostname at any rate.)

But yeah, you're swapping your ISP and your government for your VPN and maybe their government.

If you're a dissident, you're probably fine. If you're a pirate and the VPN isn't in certain countries, you're probably fine. If it's something both countries disagree with, you're in trouble.

Provenance. There's a huge problem with fake art. It's not a matter of securing ownership with police/justice/government, but securing valid provenance. Anyhow I know very little about this and could be wrong.

>rest on the assumption that one blockchain will be the defacto NFT implementation, and the rest won't be taken seriously?

An alternative is that cross chain transfers are respected. For example on one chain your NFT gets deleted and on another chain a duplicate is given to you. The same can happen in reverse to swap back. This does rely on whatever security guarantees the other chain has.

Sure they are. This just isn’t an issue the public cares about. Citizenship based taxation has been the law of the land since it was brought in to punish deserters in the civil war. Americans broadly don’t care though. They should - America is the only country on earth to do this - but they don’t. Apathy towards an issue you care about isn’t the same as lack of accountability, IMO.
If you stick to one process per core, the number of TLB flushes doesn't change. You can set processor affinity to make sure of that. If you create more threads/processes than cores, you might be able to get measurable impact.

This isn't that type of post. Sometimes what's useful is a brain-dump of heuristics and tidbits and general impressions formed over years and years of experience. Sometimes that's more useful, or even more accurate, than hard benchmark data.
Depends. You're only thinking of one half of an SLA, the metric, rather than the measurement period.

What's the SLA penalty vs the extra the customer is willing to pay? If I think I can achieve 6 x 9's on a monthly basis, but probably I'll only achieve it 10 months out of 12, I can offer the customer an SLA of 6 x 9's for 100 USD per month.

My penalty can be 50 USD for failing to meet, and then I as a supplier walk away with 10 x 10 + 2 x 50 USD = 1100 USD for offering something I knew I couldn't achieve (consistently).

It largely depends on the party doing the recognition of ownership.

Other chains like Tron or Binance are pseudo-decentralized. They do have multiple miners/nodes, but Tron/Binance controls them all. So if they want to roll back a transaction, they can if they want. In Ethereum, that's not the case anymore. Eth did rollback and do a hard fork a long time ago, when the network was much smaller, but they had to get the buy-in for multiple parties in order to do it. It was be largely inconceivable nowadays.

So if I'm the counter-party that's to recognize your ownership in an NFT, I'm probably going to downgrade in my mind an NFT claim on a Tron or Binance chain, as opposed to Ethereum--because I care a lot that transactions can't be rolled back.

But if I'm a counter-party that doesn't care, because I think the risk of that happening on those chains is low, then maybe I would honor an NFT claim on those chains.

Like money, ownership is largely a social contract. The power of an NFT derives from its power bestowed by those honoring it. And the party honors it because of certain properties of the Ethereum chain, such as immutability--but it depends largely on why they're going to honor an NFT and for what purpose.

This is one of the most common Aliexpress (which many Amazon sellers are) store scams.

They will continually send you fake "kids with cancer" pictures, fake begging about how your non-5-star-review will kill their shop, send you mp3s of crying babies, tell you that it's too expensive to ship unless you purchase their second $1 donation item [ex: https://i.redd.it/h3iqfg70i7h61.png - scam].

It is all scam. If you ever browse r/aliexpress, search for scam and it's the exact same thing you now see playing out on Amazon. It's the same sellers using the same "leave 5 stars review for free $5 Amazon GC" images, cards in boxes, etc.

They also offer out of platform refunds (like "give us your paypal email") which then they will chargeback you on
I will admit I never expected to open the front page of HN in 2021 and read a comment about someone who had read The Overstory. Richard Powers is the preeminent American novelist of our time. With respect to all his works, HN types will especially enjoy Plowing the Dark and Galatea 2.2.

There is no better way to dig deep into the effects of modern technology on society than to read Richard Powers. It is no exaggeration to say that reading Powers fundamentally changed the course of my life. Reading his work is absolutely worth your time.
To the best of my understanding, there is a lot of confusion around what is being sold when an NFT like the Beeple JPG NFT changes hands.

What people think was sold is the JPG. What was actually sold is the right to say you purchased an NFT that represents the JPG. In the case of the NFT sale, ownership of the JPG was not a part of the transaction.

Clarification may be required, and an example will help. If you see a JPG of The Mandalorian on the Web, you can be sure that Disney, Inc. owns that image. Which means that Disney, Inc. can stop others from using it; can charge license fees for including it in other works; can sell the rights to do so to others as it pleases. You cannot download an official Disney Mandalorian image, change a few pixels, and resell it. Disney owns the work. If Disney sells it, the buyer can then charge license fees, etc.

By contrast, the entity that purchased the NFT for the Beeple JPG does not have any rights whatsoever over the JPG or its intellectual property. That entity owns the right to say they are the sole owner of a slot on a blockchain known to be the entity that purchased a given slot on a blockchain (there may be many equivalent slots on that blockchain). They can sell the right to ownership to that slot on the blockchain, but they do not have any claim on future use of the Beeple JPG. If the buyer makes derivative works ("change a pixel or two") for resale, Beeple could sue for damages. In any common understanding of "ownership," the NFT buyer does not own the Beeple JPG.

Going back to the Mandalorian example, Disney could sell an infinite quantity of NFTs around all the images and video clips they currently publish for free on the Internet. (The NBA is currently doing likewise.) Like the Beeple NFT, those wouldn't convey ownership in any real sense, but could pad Disney's margins in a very real fashion.

Absolutely, and lots more will be rich still. Find-the-greater-fool is often a very profitable game for everyone but the greatest fool, and I certainly didn’t mean to say no one should gamble on these, or even that we should run out of “fools” anytime soon.

It’s not like people who own bars of precious metals are betting that suddenly we will have a huge demand for gold and silver electronics after all, most are looking for something to offload to other people who want something easy to offload later still.

an original picasso is a historic artifact with the same paint that the artist himself used and his brush marks etc.

a copy isn’t. an nft is just bytes. a copy is exactly the same as the original. it’s impossible to get an exact copy of a picasso because he himself only ever painted one. you can carbon date it etc
Doesn’t provenance need to be proven outside of the blockchain by some experts or something though? And then written down into the blockchain? It seems like the same problem with a different “authority”

What if we're a bit more creative and look at any of the number of trading card games (TCGs, such as Magic the Gathering).

One of the key issues of the TCGs is that in their digital form, trading of items is up to the whims of the game author. Providing a standardized NFT allows the players to trade in game items, just as you can trade physical cards today.

Just because you don't see the implications today (I agree, buying GIFs for 7M USDs is crazy) that doesn't meant that NFTs aren't a very interesting development.
Miners don’t dictate protocol rules. Miners do one job - hash blocks. And they get rewarded for it.

Miners are only one participant in the ecosystem, there are also users, merchants and developers. Governance of any cryptocurrency is extremely touchy subject and one thing you don’t want to do is setting a precedent for making a controversial change. If you justify such change by “majority of miners want it” - you’re basically handing over the protocol to their hands. Nothing will prevent miners to adopt changes that eventually centralize currency control, increase rewards(inflation), etc.
> computed goto

I did a deep dive into this topic lately when exploring whether to add a language feature to zig for this purpose. I found that, although finnicky, LLVM is able to generate the desired machine code if you give it a simple enough while loop continue expression[1]. So I think it's reasonable to not have a computed goto language feature.

Schools have largely (and probably wisely) abandoned looped cursive handwriting, a fiendishly difficult sort of writing with variant letter forms and complicated joins, but I tend to think that teaching cursive italic, a simple and beautiful form of cursive writing (think William Shakespeare rather than Thomas Jefferson) that uses the same letter forms as printed italic with simple joins, would make it easier for boys and girls to develop better handwriting overall, both printed and cursive.

That being said, handwritten long-form text seems like a rarity in the age of computers, though I still feel that I express things differently in handwriting.

Serious question: why use a tool like Figma that can capture so much detail? Don't you feel like it's implementing it twice? As compared to a napkin sketch that lets you see the detail you care about, but without less fussing to get just the right widget everywhere.

Or do you just not go the full distance a design-only designer might, and do more of a just-the-critical-stuff approach in Figma as if it were a sketch?

I used photoshop for this level, kinda specifically because it's not intended for this and I can't take it too seriously. I fiddle with and position the art, add some text boxes, etc, and squint a bit to see how it looks in broad strokes.

I spent a long time doing reasonably deep dives into the legal nature of tokens, blockchain-based ownership and so on. Nevertheless, I'm not a lawyer, this is not legal advice.

Most "digital art" NFTs do not confer any particular rights in relation to the artwork in question. Unless you have a written agreement which states otherwise, you do not have any rights at all, except for rights over the NFT. The NFT does not give you the right to make copies of the artwork, to claim royalties from others who make copies, or to issue DMCA takedowns or similar. This is for the simple reason that the copyright in the artwork is retained by the original artist unless agreed otherwise. This is, of course, true of physical art too: I can buy a physical Banksy, but Banksy keeps the copyright and can decide to deny or permit the making of copies.

When I buy the physical artwork, what I'm buying is the fact that the artist personally created it. I could buy a print, but even if it is a perfect reproduction it lacks the direct connection to the artist's physical involvement. Because people value authenticity, my authentic artist-created copy is worth more than a print.

NFTs work by creating a connection to the artist, albeit a fairly minimal one: the artist's digital key was used to sign a record on the blockchain, and now I own that record (loosely speaking). It is, I suppose, more like owning an autographed copy of a print. However, since this is the most authentic connection we _can_ achieve with respect to digital art, it is deemed (in some cases) to have significant value.

In more concise terms: NFTs are not artworks, they are not copies of artworks, they are signed digital records which refer to an artwork, which are valuable because they are (believed to be) signed by the artist.

To the original question, then: what happens when someone copies an NFT on to another blockchain? It's not obvious to me how someone would do this. Of course, anyone can create a "fake" NFT just like anyone can create a fake autograph. But "copying" here is very difficult, because you can't create a duplicate of a transaction that was signed by a particular private key unless you have a copy of the private key yourself. So, either the artist is minting multiple NFTs for the same artwork, or someone has stolen their private key.

If the artist is minting multiple NFTs, a question we need to ask is whether they ever committed to _not_ doing this. If they did not, then it's hard to see what reason anyone has to complain. If they did commit to this, then the owner of the NFT may have some claim against them (again, this is not legal advice). If there is a social norm against minting multiple NFTs, then the artist's reputation may suffer and the value of all of their current and future artworks will decline. Since some NFTs give the artist a cut of all future re-sales, they do have some economic incentive to avoid doing this. If someone has stolen the private key then we have a very interesting conundrum!
That’s putting a bizarre spin on what happened here. Are you suggesting that they should have emailed and asked for permission to register that domain which the previous owner did not care to renew?

We have even smaller vehicles currently powered by 50ccm ICE in Germany. You only need a scooter license for them and they are being driven mostly by elderly or disabled people that either cannot get or don't want to pay about 1.500€ for a full drivers license for cars. There aren't many of them on the road, I'd say less than 0.1%, but they do exist and I see one at least once a week.

Another advantage is that they don't need to get inspected every other year by the authorities (TÜV) and due to the standard 50ccm two-stroke scooter motor they are really cheap to maintain.
