Yes, but only if I think I can capture most of the market. You see this behavior with Apple App store and Facebooks Quest store. Because they own the hardware, they have substantial power to be the central authority and extract the 30% rent.

But for smaller game studios, you may not be able to do it, due to lack of resources, or lack of a moat, or you're not #1 in the space. Then you'd rather go into a collective marketplace. NFTs allow you to have marketplaces with items that are usable in any game that recognizes it.

This has already happened once. For example, in Gods Unchained (a CCG), you can import a Cryptokitty that you
own, to decorate your playing board.

It's kinda like cross promotion between games, in the same way mobile games did cross-promotional ads.

You also see this kind of behavior with Openstreetmaps. Google is #1, so they don't care. All the #2 and #3 players are working together on openstreetmaps to collect their market power to beat #1.

What lots of people on HN don't see is that NFTs are public interfaces for interchangable immutable items with a history that any application can choose to honor for interoperabililty. I think you can use it for more than just art.
But you also need storage / Sdcard, mouse, keyboard, monitor, etc.

Im embedded/Iot none of that matters, but if we are talking about work, using PI makes no sence when compared to even an old laptop form ebay.

I’m curious how the German state deals with ethnic nationalist content on Telegram, which is illegal for Germans. A lot of channels where people do the Roman salute, talk about natives heading to minority status, and other things illegal. Afaik Telegram is not censorable and the servers are in Russia
Takes like 5 seconds to check Disneys Twitter feed or blog. If they haven't said anything, they haven't released anything.

How do you verify that Apple has released a new phone? You don't, you hear from Apple that they released a new phone. Why would it be different with NFTs?
are you kidding? starting a bank in the US is ridiculously easy compared to most countries.
Printing money doesn’t help with liquidity if you don’t inject it at the lowest level of the economy (ie on the street into lay peoples pockets). This is the biggest lie we’ve been sold during all this quantitive easing malarkey. All it is is theft from the poor by the rich.
Prices don't need to come down, just stop going up. Given the current state of the economy there's no evidence that this level of stimulus is actually inflationary.

But there are many tools that the Fed has to tame rising prices. It could suck liquidity out of the market by selling their massive collection of bonds, or just raise interest rates.

It's actually very unlikely that the Fed would have to do much of either of those because just the threat would have people acting very differently in terms of lending, investment and hiring/pay rises.
You missed the part about the economy doing fine. Anyway, salaries don’t stay static because people are not static - they age and get seniority, change jobs, get promoted, get redundant because technology and market changes etc.

It’s probably not the inflation that is eating in the wages in many cases. A lot of wages moved from established professions to software developers or moved from deindustrializing countries to China and so on. %1-%2 inflation is a noise regarding to changes in salaries. My grandfathers income from his profession did not perish due to the inflation but because of the proliferation of sneakers and cultural change that made sporty shoes acceptable in workplaces.
Given that, when I search for 'clubhouse' or 'slack' or 'google maps' in the app store, the first result is an ad for a competitor, I'm not sure Apple gives a shit about user confusion?
Yeah... sometimes I think Mises should be required reading for anyone commenting on HN threads about money. If anything, his descriptions of money and money substitutes are even more relevant in the modern financialized economy, where substitutes (i.e. derivatives) now exist for every imaginable asset class.

OEMs make significant money pre-installing windows on their machines.

A friend who worked at one OEM said it would cost $50 more to ship a machine with linux vs windows.

Pre-installing windows, bundling software (including telemetry - long history of this) makes Lenovo money at the time of sale, and afterwards.

Good job (and good fun) to this tenacious person. Glad for the outcome in his (and our) favor.
I stand corrected. I can be absolutely fiat-free if I choose to beggar myself.
The tax thing is mostly to avoid the taxable event that arises when you sell crypto (if you’re up, which most people will be right now) + keeping exposure to the crypto in question.

The way it works (~roughly) is that instead of selling the crypto, you deposit it into a smart contract that then issues you a loan in eg stable coins (DAI, USDT), with your crypto locked as collateral.

> Greene "liked" posts calling for the assassination of prominent Democrats including former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Greene also used social media to boost false claims that deadly mass shootings in Parkland, Florida, Newtown, Connecticut and Las Vegas, Nevada were actually staged.

>In light of the revelations, the Democratic-controlled House took the unusual step of voting to force Greene to be removed from her committee assignments on Thursday after GOP leaders failed to act on the matter themselves. Democrats were joined by 11 Republicans who voted to strip Greene of the assignments.

https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/unstable/src/hyperloglog... seems to be the starting point, given a number of identical comments (complete with typos, e.g. "Estimate cardinality form register histogram"), function names, macros. Copyright isn't preserved, which is troubling in itself. There's a brief mention of Redis's HLL implementation in the README, which is a hint re: the code's origins.

The first divergence I see is in hllSparseToDense, although it seems more like a tweak to the input/output (passing in o->ptr instead of o, returning hdr instead of C_OK / C_ERR), than an algorithmic difference.

Line 550 contains a looser check:

if (span == 0) return -1;

omitting the check that p >= end.

And... the only meaningful algorithmic change I found is in hllAdd, wherein we invalidate the cache if hllDenseAdd() returns 1.

There might be something else, but a lot of the details look to be standard (e.g. impl of murmurhash64a).

At the risk of sounding cold...they seriously suspended it because four people showed issues? Out of more than 100k doses? That's microscopic, a rounding error compared to how many people die from covid.

My own mom keeps pointing me to articles of "vaccine deaths", in quotes because many aren't even clear. I keep explaining that even if that's the case, 1k deaths out of 30m vaccinated sure sounds better than 500k deaths we've had in the 30m infected.
No, just because there's no law against it doesn't make it morally right.

> there's an issue in the system.

But everyone else is just as apathetic as you, so there's no incentive to ever change anything.

You say, "The government should ban this!" and the government says, "People are buying and eating this, so in a Democratic system we can't ban this!"

You slough off responsibility on them - they slough it off on you - you all convince yourselves you have no possibility at all.

Also - I'm curious - have you ever contacted your representatives? Asked them to do anything about it?

I'm sure when the tuna finally goes, you'll say, "Yes, I ate tuna all my life, but I bear no responsibility - it's everyone else's fault."
I don't get why a language can't have both 0 and 1 based indexing, just set it as a compiler flag or something. They are a homomorphism, it's not hard to add or subtract one.
The fact it’s been in the news way more on top of the Bitcoin stuff has had the retail investors around me ask a lot about these NFTs and Bitcoin and if they should sink thousands of dollars into them.

This stuff is in the news to sell the crap to the people who don’t really know what they are doing.
Because it's tribal propaganda that adds nothing to the discussion. There are a myriad of plausible reasons not to want to defund the police, but Robotbeat is parroting the party line that there are no possible legitimate reasons and that only racists can hold that opinion.
Yet WA defaults to not notifying contacts when keys change. So silent interception is more likely to go unnoticed. And any app could send an automatic update with a backdoor at any moment.

Disassembly and analysis is also harder with binaries than original sources and an open, reproducible build process.
It's really no joke that these sort of memes are pushed through every form of media until they dominate the debate. I wish there were newspapers that published my fears every morning, but would be cited in "serious" company as evidence of the reality of those fears.
> While the first case is good to address, the second one has severally outgrown it.

The problem with all of the repeal proposals is that none of them actually address the problem.

Suppose you're a search engine. One of the search hits is making a factual claim. The search engine naturally has no way to validate the claim. That would require an investigation, giving the accused an opportunity to defend their claim and then having a neutral arbiter make a decision. This essentially describes a trial in court.

We already have civil litigation. If you prove a defamation claim, you can have the court order it to be removed by the host or search engine.

Anything Congress could do about this would be an attempt to end run around the First Amendment, i.e. de facto require private companies to operate a shadow court system and then pretend the First Amendment doesn't apply even though it's being instituted through legislation.

It should be obvious why we don't want this -- if the government is imposing penalties only for not censoring things then you're going to get one-sided suppression of dissent, but if you punish them for over-censoring too then you're just cloning the actual court system and might as well use the real one.

The root of the problem here isn't Section 230. It's that these platforms are too large, so that any mistake they make gets amplified across a billion people instead of a million. Break them up.
> Israel didn’t have new banks because the regulator preferred to protect the stability of the existing players

Well said. Whatever the justification, protecting the profits of incumbents at the expense of new entrants is regulatory capture.

And to your latter point, here is an example: in the US telecom providers are highly regulated, but they also have largely captured the FCC.

Onerous amounts of regulation, contrary to perception, are good for incumbents. It makes launching a new business hard.

Fighting through regulatory barriers is one challenge for some European startups trying to achieve scale and displace or match an incumbent. (Very low turnover in top 500 EU companies vs US too 500)

Lastly I’d like to note that Israel has some room to improve on the corruption front - they are ranked as having higher perceived corruption than Spain and South Korea, two countries where the rich stay rich, and on par with Botswana. [0] And a bit below the US, where we already struggle with corruption and regulatory capture.

If we all acted like Mr. Luca software industry and the internet would be much better.

Clearly it was never about the 42 Euro license, it was about the principles.

As always companies like Lenovo only act like this way because we passively allow them to do so.
The language used in this draft is way to political and not technical/objective enough - herefore i think it causes more security risks than it resolves.

Example: from line #1 "proper channels" - This is subjective as hell.
It is also to avoid accusations of country favoritism. There aren’t 26 bills and coins, so some countries would not have a person on a note.

It is the same reason why the things depicted on the Euro, like bridges, are not depictions of actual things, but loosely based on them.
> which is illegal for Germans

It is not. Consuming it is absolutely legal. It is even in our constitution that the state does not censor.

What is illegal is "making" (for lack or a better word) hate speech and inciting violence.

Example: You can buy Hitler's "Mein Kampf" since 2015. Before that it wasn't possible just because Bavaria held the rights after Hitler's death and refused to publish uncommented full versions. Since books enter the free domain 70 years after the author's death, Mein Kampf entered it in 2015.
Once you get to L3 self-driving, you delegate full responsibility to the car, even if only under limited circumstances. Many L4 cars will not even have steering wheels or pedals, and won’t have a pilot’s seat. A lot of prototypes turn the front seats around to face the back row.

Do you still believe that the driver is responsible under those circumstances?

Anything L2 or under is a “driver assistance system”, and the driver maintains control and responsibility at all times. All of the systems in recreational or commercial aircraft today (autopilot, auto-land) are L2 or less.

This is why it’s very critical that automakers not blur the lines to drivers. We are approaching an inflection point as to who is responsible behind the wheel, the car or the AI.

>If you want to be able to decide what runs on your device, don't get an iphone. That's why I don't own one myself. If on the other hand you want the peace of mind of letting Apple gatekeep the software you can use on your device, then it makes perfect sense.

To further your point, people forget that Android devices often (if not usually) come preinstalled with OEM and carrier app stores, in addition to the Google Play Store. The Samsung App Store being the most prominent example.

Carriers love to control the experience (more revenue potential), and they were the original mobile app distribution platforms. If there was such a demand for alternative app stores, the carries would aggressively push their own alternate app stores onto consumers.
I don't personally have much experience in the field, but one of my old IRC buddies ended up getting fleeced this way. He used to lend Bitcoin quite frequently, which normally turned out fine - until someone anonymously made 3 accounts to max out the borrow limit, and then never paid it back.

It ultimately comes down to accountability, which Bitcoin is designed to distribute among it's users. The more accountability you add to the system, the more pointless your cryptocurrency becomes. All of this is basically impossible without some sort of middleman facilitating the transaction, hopefully with collaterals on either side. Again though, it's kinda a self-defeating premise.
This is a side effect of Keynesianism, which places extreme importance on the abstract and oversimplified view of the economy represented by aggregated accounting identities.

Can you please give some advice as to how to convert cash savings to a better yield investment? Especially in this current market where it “feels” to me (I am ignorant) that the stock market is artificially high. Maybe start to dollar cost average in to etf/mutual funds, to avoid a bad timing of “shift cash into market at an all time high right before it crashes”? Sorry for the ignorant question but the thought of cash savings eroding quickly while I don’t really know the best plan for it keeps me up at night. Cheers.

Recommender systems that offer new creators a fair shot
I was employee #3 at a startup funded in part by a guy who started a small local bank. I talked to him about his real estate investments and the bank. Upon my inquiry of how one actually starts a bank he replied, “owning property is a right, owning a bank is a privilege”. Meaning, merely being wealthy enough to start a bank does not mean one can do so. I wonder how many children he had to sacrifice to moloch to get into the club.
the only market mechanism to force money back into the rest of the system is for interest rates to rise

Or a wealth tax.
A big reason why the Roundheads wanted to make Cromwell king was to limit his power. His status as Lord Protector was not King, and therefore had none of the constraints on power that the kingdom had evolved over the centuries.

He wasn't widely popular outside the parliamentarians, who were the ones in power. The "godly", who made up the majority of the Roundheads were reviled by a substantial portion of the British. Cromwell held the Commonwealth together, that's for sure, but the cohesion amongst the Roundheads dried up once he died.

Banks are so tightly regulated that they all offer pretty much identical options at identical prices. Shopping around, it's virtually impossible to find any differentiator between them. They don't even advertise based on differentiation, it's more things like 'our call center people are more polite than theirs'.
The adverse effects of vaccination are definately being censored. Probably for the greater good. But censored non the less.

I don't think this pays off for most people. Most circuits can be prototyped without printing boards. I use a combination of generic function boards, adapters for SMD components, DIP versions of components, etc. to be able to easily put together a working prototype on 100mil grid.

Worst case, I use dead bug technique for a non standard component I don't have adapter for.

For large projects I might be splitting the problem into multiple separate functions and have a prototype of each function separately, later to integrate all to a single board.

For example, I am currently working on a controller that will control a heater, pump and couple of valves based on input from a bunch of very sensitive temperature sensor. I have two separate boards one for temperature measurement and one for 1kW of AC through bunch of relays, triacs, SCRs and so on. Each relay, triac and SCR is mounted on its own generic small boards (something like this: https://pl.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Chip-Quik/PA0185?qs=gjT6...), soldered in turn onto larger generic board (for example https://pl.mouser.com/ProductDetail/BusBoard-Prototype-Syste...).

All these are hooked up to a Nucleo board where I develop my software.

Once I have working prototype it makes no sense to spend time trying to make a half-assed board. I would very much prefer to design much better looking, much tighter tolerances board based on tolerances accepted by the PCB manufacturer and wait for it for couple of days.

If I really needed to work on the circuit in the meantime I still have the prototype. While waiting for a nice shiny board I can still working on software, find bugs, etc.
That question really should not be only for vegans/vegetarians. There could be a lot wrong with omnivor and other diets as well.

I go and test my blood regularly. It is easy and I feel more data is always a good thing. We are mortal beings and things will go wrong with you. Tracking things is a good way to stay on top of that.
It locks you out until you pull over, put the car in park, and put it back in gear. So, maybe five minutes if you’re between exits on the freeway.
There's nothing to buy. Data exists for this. Go check out Google's data on people's movements. It went down in Sweden significantly. Maybe less than elsewhere, and that's a rabbit hole you can get lost in. But I think the point stands that it is not a one to one comparison.
That’s what I thought till I met someone who owned a bank.
Right, I think hydro is about as close to at-scale 24/7 always-on generation as you can get with renewables right now. Even with that, everywhere I’ve lived with hydro power had backup fossil fuel generation, which was periodically used, though rarely.

Arguments for all other forms of renewables at scale right now seem to depend on having/maintaining fossil fuel power generation just to satisfy daily demand reliably, so you end up with two sets of power generation infrastructure designed to meet peak capacity (so effectively double capacity of what’s needed), which is extraordinarily expensive.

Advocacy for non-hydro renewables requires heaping doses of “hope” that new technologies will be developed one day to deprecate the side-by-side ff power-generation.

That hope and risk has to be priced in to the comparisons with nuclear for supplying electric grids, or the debate isn’t “nuclear vs renewables” it’s “nuclear vs. (renewables + fossil fuel generation)”. At that point it even makes sense to think of “nuclear vs. (renewables + nuclear)”.

If you want the cost of CO2 and its global impact priced into using fossil fuels, perhaps that’s what the cost of nuclear should be compared to.
It's not really the same thing, expecially if we're talking about the problems.

If you're directly coupling CSS components to React components, then you won't really see the issues me and GP are talking about. Names can be inconsistent because markup is centralised, it will be rarer to see overrides, people will be more reluctant to change it to fix one part of the website and then breaking all others... etc.
Who makes money from the original NFT? Why would the game company not want to capture the revenue with their own NFTs? And why would Decentraland then honor the NFT some other game company issued, instead of issuing their own? Any entity who's providing utility associated with the NFT is going to want to sell their own NFTs - why would they do all the work only to have some third party capture the value?
They need open borders the same as us.
