Indeed. The advantages add right up quickly. In my view, that it does not all end up in a spreadsheet or bank account makes this a harder discussion than it needs to be.
As far as I can tell, most of the NFTs that have broken into popular consciousness are entirely non-public and nobody can verify or inspect them at all. I spent like an hour yesterday trying to figure out which blockchain, specifically, the $69M Beeple NFT is on; nobody seems to know, and nobody really seems to be asking.
FYI in the same position, the solution I found was to download the Windows Install ISO, put it onto USB, and boot from that and do a clean Windows install. I needed a special dongle too for the device.

A clean install uses less disk space, and it removes accumulated cruft that you can’t otherwise delete easily. I think minor updates worked after that for a while.

There are many historic and contemporary causes for the US's economic success. Arguably, the US was even more innovative in the 50s and 60s when job security was much better and unions were more powerful.

10 or 15 years ago, many of my peers were dreaming of migrating to the US some day to work in a hot new startup. These days? Pretty much everyone changed their mind, because everyone realized that being protected as an employee, having financial safety in case of an emergency and the health care system in Europe are more desirable than being part of the next new business or idea, however "creative" they might be labelled. Especially if it's just the next Uber for X treating employees as independent contractors.

At the cost of being extremely annoying for the second time today, what does "a truth we can't empirically prove" look like?

> All the modern talk about multiverses, universe simulations, and AGI

None of the things you mention are "philosophical truths". The first is one of many interpretations of QM, the second is a meme, the third is a vague, unclear teleological goal of computer science. I'm not objecting to the fact that you can speculate, I myself said that pointing to new things, as vague and undefined they may be, is generally useful and stimulating. I'm objecting to the idea that you can have "truths you can't prove".

> I wasn’t trying to lump math and science together and agree they’re very different, although both based on core propositional truths that are taken on faith.

Sorry, my fault. Tomato, tomato.
How can my judgement seem harsh when you basically said the same thing I said? Philosophy is artistic pseudo scientific speculations and we are both in 100% agreement here.

Can such speculations lead to real science? Sure. Does this continue to make the philosophy of religion and the philosophy of science being placed in the same “philosophy” bucket a category error? Yes. You can still speculate on science within science and you can still speculate on religion within religion. No need to classify both under “philosophy”

The solution is smaller, modular nuclear reactors. Run them for 30 years, and then just leave them in place- waste included - forever.

Eventually we can probably figure out how to operate them for 50, then 100 years.

The downsides of this are much less than the potential downsides of excess CO2 in the atmosphere, which are civilization-ending.

So I do something like <div class="button text-center">.

I am not sure if I could actually include Tailwind and just use their utility classes for my needs, in combination with the normal CSS usage, or that would make things confusing.

It doesn't work like that, "owning" and human laws in general are kind of a fantasy, to make an absurd hypothetical scenario to illustrate this: imagine the aliens landed on Earth, would you say they should first get a permit to anchor their spaceship somewhere before doing that? At the end of the day words on paper don't matter much, if Switzerland shoots those satellites down they could be deleted from the world map with some nukes, who has the power decides.
talk about space debris - blowing up that many satellites would be insane.
> Science and logic attempt to describe something central to the universe while religion and aesthetics are central to only the human experience. To place the two in the same box is a huge category error akin trying to scientifically derive creationism.

I do not see in what respect this might be a category error. The „box“ all these things are put into is the box of things we can ask questions of the form „What do we mean when we talk about X?“ about. This is possible for religion, science, aesthetics and logic likewise. And that’s what philosophers are doing.

In that sense your own post is engaging in the very philosophy you deem obsolete. Not only do you reflect on what we actually refer to when we talk about philosophy – thus engaging in metaphilosophy – your entire last paragraph is full of metaphysical and epistemological theses about the world and our knowledge of it. This is the problem of most critics who want to reject philosophy as a whole. They cannot argue for their thesis without already starting to philosophize themselves.

Most of them are not even worthy of automation. We waste time doing processes that are orthogonal or were shoehorned in because they worked for another team or division. But I get it, we somehow have to communicate with the remainder of an organization. I guess it’s the least bad of all the alternatives, especially if the system is open to change through reflection.

> In classic Disney animated features of old, plot was advanced through dialogue, and songs were incidental. For instance, in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, the song “Whistle While you Work” does nothing to move the plot forward. Ashman and Menken approached the film’s book as they would a Broadway musical, using songs to impart critical plot points and character development.

A podcast I like [1] covered The Little Mermaid recently and pointed out the songs help maintain the “realism.” If Ursula told Ariel in dialogue she had to lose her voice to become human, that would raise a lot of questions. But when she does it singing “Poor Unfortunate Souls,” you’re like, well, yes, of course.

As someone who doesn’t know much about musicals, I thought this was a neat magic trick.

Pseudo refers to pretensions/shams. Philosophy need not pretend to be science, it can openly speculate, without the rigors of the scientific method. In science, a hypothesis can be made, but that has very many parameters restricting what can be said through it.
The 800XL was a major price reduction from the original 800. In addition to manufacturing and component cost improvements, FCC regulations relaxed a bunch between the original revision and when the 800/600XL came out. So they were able to drop a boatload of RF shielding, just like the VIC-20 and C64 could. The inside of the original 800 looks like a bloody Faraday Cage.

And by that point in the 80s the original 1979 Atari 800 case design was starting to look really 70s. At least that's how it seemed to me as a kid. The 1200XL/800XL case looked so slick. It's up there with the Sinclair QL and some of the Japanese MSX machines in terms of case design, IMHO.
Yeah, digital-only NFTs will likely be a fad. I'll be interested again when the trend moves toward deeds. A title for a physical work could have staying power. Even potentially an iou from an artist for a one of a kind (physical) piece.
One problem with hiring only contractors is they’re in it only for the money. “Well duh!” You say, but they’re not incentivized to do anything beyond beyond what they’re asked to do and will need to be highly managed. They’re not going to improve performance, make long term tech investments, or (the big one) innovate. Because they have no incentive to, they have no skin in the game.

This is obviously a generalization and of course this may well work great for some companies, including yours.
> As a salaried worker you are expected to do a job, if that job takes you 20 hours this week and 45 next week that's fine as long as the job is done.

The whole article says that this is a fantasy.

Get your job done in 20 hours a week and say I’m out and see what happens at the vast majority of companies.

The employer gets the free extra 5 hours in a 45 hour week but the employee gets judged (at best) for working 20 hours the next week.
The IRS would like to differ. If you have to pay taxes, they have to be paid in US dollars, not chickens or Bitcoins.

As such, it has at the very least the value of being the sole currency that can be used to pay US taxes.

Or just do coding in a place like a bank, where domain knowledge (that you build up over years) is very highly valued, as the problems (requirements) are often hopelessly complicated and anyone who shows signs of understanding them is valuable. The act of coding itself is often almost an afterthought.

I had an employee who had a clear opinion that some stuff weren’t his duties and that arriving sleepy at work was ok.

So, as I said, I “had” an employee.

Let’s count in jobs. Basically a man fully dedicated to his job 37hrs/week creates about 1 new position a year, every year, because he makes the processes so efficient that we serve 2x more customers, so we can hire. That guy and another intern, they created -1 job in a year (his project brought literally no customer) and cost us 16k€ + his salary + the intern (I pay my interns, I give hefty bonuses to everyone).

I’m not complaining, it’s my job to root out the weed and prune it, and I did a mistake, but you need to understand, as a nation, how many jobs don’t exist because employees live off their colleagues (as for my share, I have created 6 jobs myself so I’ll just collect the huge margins, I’m just vexated he doesn’t collect his margins too). In sectors where everyone thinks it’s not their jobs, people end up harassing each other for the remaining positions. In growing companies, it’s the American dream with free food. The correct middle ground is to own your product for 37 hrs a week, and not delegate questions to be solved by the employer.
The answer is that Sturgis had indoor parts too, whereas its hard to protest in groups outdoors.
My understanding is that real money (let's say USD) have value because, thanks to loans/mortgages that are done in USD, you have a garantee that some people will always be really motivated to get some USD, to pay their loan/mortgage. Since those tends to last 20-30 years, that's good because in 20-30 years you know that your USD will have value to someone (to many people even)

On the other hand, no one really need to get bitcoins. It would not be surprising than in 20-30 years, no one cares about it (and it is actually the most likely scenario IMO).
Not even that. Even 10.5/12 to 11/12 time would be great.

Why is it that senior employees with a $500K package are expected to take zero vacation time or are subject to disrespect? Why do people pride themselves in taking no vacation, guilting their peer-level leaders in the process? I'd gladly take 11/12 of that pay in return for being able to take a full 4-6 weeks off to myself to do things I want to do in life.

Personal travel, personal project, and family time are important, and that has nothing to do with how much passion I have for the job.
Finally and (slightly) anti-nuclear piece worth reading. Yes, solar is easy for capitalism, but I'm not sure building all those batteries is. Building smaller pre-fab nukes vs building larger battery arrays seem pretty close in terms of challenges.

You don't have a citation on "$3T would buy 200 GW of nuclear power plants", and I very much doubt that extrapolation, because if any sane planner got the $3T budget, the first thing they would do is invest heavily in pre-fab.
Huh. Makes me think about two adversaries agreeing to run a simulated conflict in order to correct any of the opponents misconceptions that could lead to accidental escalation.
The difference is that people felt unsafe during the BLM protests because they also lead to riots as well. A lot of people stayed at home, who otherwise would have gone outside. I skimmed another paper that reached a similar conclusion. A motorcycle rally doesn't have the same effect.
That is a misunderstanding of the term intrinsic on your part.
Zzzz. I have no Bitcoin as I value privacy. I use Monero.

That said if you cannot see the value of a strongly secure, decentralised, self sovereign, permissionless money for the internet then you must live in a place where banking has always been adequate. Many don’t.

So it has intrinsic value if it enables a use case not filled by other things. How is this not tacitly obvious.
That sounds like a very empty platitude.

Can a libertarian grow and change into a committed fascist who does not give a iota about personal freedom and measures everything by the interests of the State?

If so, why didn't Mussolini convert everybody in Italy into committed fascists by peaceful means? It would have been easier than any suppression by force, not to mention less dangerous.
A decade long war between China and the US (as the article describes) would soon be a total war, which means using every weapon at your disposal.
Sure but teaching you how to think doesn’t address the category error I’m describing here.

A lot of religious people ascribe to a religion because some aspect of that religion helped the in some way. Does this make all aspects of the religion the absolute truth? People following this flawed wisdom end up supporting creationism as the one and only truth. Are people doing the same thing with philosophy?

Sure you can learn logic from a philosophy class, but that logic cannot in turn explain why “aesthetics”, “religion” and “ethics” is a sibling philosophical field of study to “science”.
Once again, blame can be heaped upon the goddamned Boomers.

Their incessant desire to keep running shit, to constantly keep their standard of living not only the same, but *increasing* during their old age - has been the catalyst for this problem.

The offshoring to China of manufacturing and electronics assembly has given China an enormous economic advantage. At least the "Greatest Generation" had the good grace to retire and die instead of trying to suck everything dry like some kind of economic vampire. And just like vampires of lore, the Boomers destroy everything with which they come into contact.

500 years from now, historians are going to marvel at this generation that crippled multiple generations after it due their avarice and entitlement.

I wont argue about individual characteristics being the key.

But for myself as a rule I defined that salaried team members are in most cases more motivated for a long successful releationship and care about the project more.

Also, lets not forget that when we are talking about doing a startup, core members need tobhave more motivation than just a wire trsnafer at the end of the month.

Best practices for motivating startup team members are not anything new.

I was in negative equity in the UK for nearly a decade after buying in September 2007 and seeing value collapse 40% pretty much the day after exchanging contracts (Northern Rock bank run). A new built flat was always going to deprecate a little, but when the flat directly below us told a year later for 60% the price we paid it wasn't fun.

Solution when I did need to move was to rent out the flat (which covered the interest payments and maintenence) and rent somewhere else until 2016, when the price had recovered enough to sell it for the price I bought it at.
One problem with hiring only contractors is they’re in it only for the money.

I don't think that's totally true, it certainly wasn't in my case. I started contracting because I had had enough of the corporate grind. Quite a lot of my peers seemed to have the same attitude.
