The OP seemed to be talking about implicit bias in the framework of critical race theory, hence the quote "According to media and social media, if I deny that I'm a racist, then I'm just not aware of my implicit bias". That is, denying that you're racist is the proof that you're a racist. It's not about self-awareness, but about assertion.

Otherwise, I don't think the implicit bias is what OP said. Our HR would remind us recency bias, for instance, during a perf review. That kind of implicit bias does exist and is worth reminding.
This seems to be working best for me so far.

Laundering is behaviour done by bad actors - you're trying to claim Bitcoin will stop the actions of these bad actors? You realize the bad actors can just switch who they coerce with bribery, threats or violence from banks to aligning at the bottom of the MLM-Ponzi scheme and are now financially incentivized to get all of society adopting Bitcoin - through regulatory capture/bribing/coercing politicians etc?

I'd love for you to respond to this too, but gets ignored every time I ask/point it out: Bitcoin and similar prevent powerful mechanisms through policy like the Magnitsky Act allowing economic penalties of known bad actors, hopefully swaying their bad behaviour before physical/violent means are necessary.

Just because there are problems with integrity doesn't mean the answer is making/using an inflexible system.

Why We need DNS
Not directly related, but I find myself to be mentally sharper when hungry, if on edge a little.
That's a fair point. But in the 90s as a System V and SunOS user, I saw some discussions happen on Usenet, and by the time X was commonplace, the myth/rationale was commonplace.
Why would the blockchain help here? Basically you need public private key pairs where the private key exists only in silicon and the public key is associated with a serial number. Normally the serial number is trivially associated with the customer who ultimately purchases the hardware especially if the camera is part of a phone with an active plan.

It seems like this trivially works better with a centralized database especially since you don't necessarily want to make all of this data public. The general public needs to know that this is a true and accurate photo that hasn't been edited taken on such and such a date. The authorities with a warrant might well need to know that it was taken by a device owned by bob.
That's exactly it. I work at Canonical and was part of the internal conversation around this subject. We constantly walk that fine line where we want to encourage open source work and communities around it to flourish, while at the same time we need to pay for bandwidth and people's salaries to be working on that exact technology. The irony is that for the particular case at hand, they would probably get it for free because despite being a commercial project it's a small one at that, and we love to see such initiatives taking place. At the same time, we work with major industry players that are supposed to pay the bill, for their own benefit and for everybody else's too, otherwise we just go out of business and that's no good. It took time mainly because we need to set the exact terms without arbitrary discrimination.

We'll have a more clear form for that kind of application soon, so that we can streamline such requests, community or otherwise.

I switched to a whole food plant based diet after reading "How not to Die", and I believe it's served me well during the pandemic, cooking for myself and hitting my micronutrients pretty much every day. I check using cronometer.com, and in pretty much every category I'm getting more than enough.

Eating the same thing every day isn't the problem; it's not eating enough different things to get all your nutrients. Just for example, I pretty much eat beets, broccoli, blueberries, almonds, bananas, mango, dates, oatmeal, greens, legumes (lentils, chickpeas or kidney beans), turmeric, flax seed and nutritional yeast (for B12)) every day. My labs a week ago were perfect, I'm actually over for vitamins D and B12.
The economy exists as a side effect of getting people the things they need to live fulfilling lives.

Serving the economy is literally putting the cart before the horse.

I need to eat and poop. I don’t measure my value as a person by how much I poop. When people value the metric of pooping over the quality of life of the pooper, you create a broken society.

So too, valuing the movement of money over what the money is used for distorts our society.

More people inflates GDP. GDP is not a measure of anything worthwhile. The economy is not the thing we need to be nurturing — it is a side effect.
I don't know much about networks and haven't worked on any on-device software - I mostly work on element management systems.

Even on the high end there is a race to commodification. Router manufacturers have some similarity to server manufacturers like Dell - they get hardware and software components from 3rd parties and put them together. Your main bespoke software contribution might be device drivers and a data model.

High pay may not automatically translate into quality because there are other forces in play.
That seems like a pretty circular argument.

What if I made a similar argument except I replaced "asian" with "french"? How would you prove there's a difference between that argument and your argument?
Project/program management is probably one type of position that almost has to lead to people management at some point.

But this philosophy of not being able to control your own hardware, be it computers, appliances, vehicles, or otherwise, is harmful to society.

Locking down devices without an escape hatch enables rent seeking and hampers innovation and creativity.

I understand your point of view, but also understand that the future where the only open hardware is expensive one-off specialty stuff is rapidly approaching. Either through legal means, or limited availability, companies are posturing themselves to be the gatekeepers + rent seekers, and will hamper new 'out-of-the-box' ideas.
For me the major advantage of SO Teams/Enterprise is the actually working search combined with it searching for similar questions when writing the title of your questions. As an SME I also appreciate the different queues, although at some scale the questions just become too much, then you actually know you need to improve other things like documentation or marketing.

indeed.

tho, the important piece is the network. the network doesn't know or care if random people have a locally downloaded copy of the art. all sites, services, validations, virtual worlds, whatever on the network will hit the ethereum contract which gives up an address which you've proved you own by key signature.

the network can't see nor does it care about your local files.

which means, basically, any other appearance of the art in any other place is just an ad for the current owner of the nft.
Kyle with Pinata.cloud here.

We’ve thought a lot about this over the last few years. IPFS is the standard for content verifiability of NFTs. Can you prove that the content is what the original creator said it was? That's what IPFS solves for better than anything else. Watch this video to learn why: https://youtu.be/vttw1bjC2no?t=478

With IPFS solving content verifiability for NFTs first, you then have to solve for who is responsible for the NFT data. Decentralized storage doesn't inherently solve for this. Someone still needs to pay for it and this creates massive friction. We discuss this problem here: https://medium.com/pinata/who-is-responsible-for-nft-data-99...

Ultimately, the person who cares most about an NFT is the person who currently owns it. Whether that is the platform, the creator, or the collector, enabling them to easily ensure their NFTs survive ownership changes is going to be crucial to the success of NFTs long-term.
Your landing page is absolutely beautiful - simple to digest, no marketing fluff, and intuitive onboarding flow. However, the email to download the app entered my "promotions" category on Gmail (usually this happens for domains that were registered recently). Also the link in the email for "go to chums" was broken.

Nevertheless, I found the app and signed in - as expected, really well designed and intuitive to use. It was nice to immediately see some recommendations for the hashtags I selected.

A lot of my online purchases would fall under one or two hashtags (#climbing and #workfromhome). For climbing gear, my purchases are almost always based on recommendations from friends and great climbers online. If I was executing on this idea, I would seed one of these hashtags more thoroughly, and then go after that specific community - there are many climbing forums where people could really benefit from having something curated like this.

I look forward to following your progress! Best of luck to you all.

Evidently you think the phrase, rather than its actual meaning, is the issue. OK.

> it's (using the term 'virtue signaling') only function is to stop an argument from proceeding further, in other words "end the debate with a cliché... not a point.

I personally don't think stating you believe a position is taken due to optics ends the debate. Likewise pointing out that information is being manipulated by those that seek to report it. The short term for these is 'virtue signaling' and 'fake news'. I'm not sure if you have ever lived in the US but in the current political climate it likely does the exact opposite of stopping arguments proceeding further.

The concept of 'thought terminating cliches' - that these concerns somehow aren't valid points - seems itself to terminate thought.

Please lets actually consider arguments here, rather than dismissing them because they're considered popular.

What do you think your point was with that quote?
I solved this problem in my own shell by checking the chunk of data being read from STDIN before automatically passing it from readline to the parser. If it contains multiple newlines then odds are it is pasted content so the shell prompts you with a warning that you're pasting multiline content. It even gives you an option of previewing the data you're pasting before running it in the shell.

I'm surprised more shells haven't adopted this approach because it was trivial to set up and almost never gets in the way except when you actually want it to. But I guess it couldn't be Bash or Zsh because odds are someone somewhere depends on Bash blindly accepting readline data as part of their production workflow: https://xkcd.com/1172/

I did, and I sort of like and sort of dislike it because of the way it handles metadata.

For me, this kind of note taking app ought to use folder names as topics or categories (dev/rust) and have an index.md (dev/rust/index.md) as an entry point, and some sub-documents/sub-sections in the same folder.

Also, many of these tools only go half way: they have folder support but instead of a "bag of posts" you have to put images in a "bag of media" folder, which is even worse sometimes...
Thanks, pretty good explanation of a way for it to work.

I don't see what advantage this implementation offers though (happy to be wrong). The game is checking with Valve to see if I am allowed to play it. I will need Valve to agree to honor my token and talk to the game appropriately in perpetuity. A third party that I sell the token to would also be relying on Valve to honor the validity of the token after I transfer it to them. This has very similar characteristics as if Valve build out tools to sell/trade games using their existing database. Valve can decide any day to stop honoring tokens, maybe "locking" currently deposited tokens to your account by making the database record permanent and not caring about tokens any more.

Maybe the game has a facility to check with other services that also implement the staking contract, as sort of a backup in case Valve dies or as an attempt to be vendor agnostic? I think that has some interesting difficulties too.

I was wondering about that, too. Last time I checked SBCL binaries weren't exactly small, more around 40MB.
Furthermore, for all that people apparently care about the accumulated effects of microaggressions... Suppose that, every time someone refers to your group—I'll use blindness for an example—they think "blind people—oh wait, I'd get in trouble for saying that, um, I mean, people who are blind". Might this develop a Pavlovian association of "blind people" = "uh-oh, might get in trouble"? Which, in turn, might lead to subtle resentment, mistreatment, and/or avoidance of blind people? It seems that, to rationally recommend one moniker over the other, one has to consider all the costs and benefits, and I don't think I've seen advocates of "person who is X" address this one.

Any company that has a relationship with a bank that holds money for consumers has to clear every single email template (any customer communication) with the bank before being sent to customers. So, netspend for instance has to clear any content with their bank previous to sending it to customers. This incident likely caused numerous TOS and regulatory violations which open up all of those financial service providers to fines from the CFPB, and perhaps law suits from customers.

At some level with any website, you can't but feel that whatever you do, ads will be personalised to some degree. The whole aspect of a website informing you that they are at least feels more honest.

Though when the informed choice is to accept it or not use the service - you feel that the option to pay for not having personalised advertising would be something that would be a revenue stream as much as advertising.

I understand these services have to cover costs and make money to maintain etc, so advertising is acceptable. However some feel targeted is a privacy concern more than others and whatever people choose - as long as they are given an informed choice. Though the option to pay for privacy does feel somewhat odd, in the realms of that privacy in regards to a service they can freely choose not to use and is not some government mandated service is the balance needed.

Concerns are that such services have become sudo government/authority outlets of information and if your not upon them, you could be left out of the loop.

So, the reliance of government's and authorities in using social media platforms that force you into targeted ads is the real concern for me long-term. I'm aware facebook and twitter seem to be leaned upon more and more as the source for information by authorities, maybe some countries use tik-tok in that way already. But the trend does seem to be pushing governmental democratic communication towards private platforms that by design limit user freedoms.

> How about biographies of mediocre people?

I hear this from time to time and my own response to it is "that'd work about as well as a reality show based on your life".

I think it's the best way to put it: A biography and reality TV cherry pick the most interesting parts of a person's life. I have had some interesting things happen to me -- some would fit well in a Reality TV show, others would fit well in a biography of successes (the failures fitting into the Reality TV space). We're not interested in biographies about average people -- yes, average people always have a few stories that are worth hearing/sharing, but rarely have a life that is so filled with stories as to warrant someone else to want to catalogue them. Much like if you put a bunch of cameras in my house and filmed for a year you might end up with minutes of Reality TV worthy entertainment, if you did a biography of a mediocre person, you'd have no market (itself, mediocre). Heck, I'd be willing to bet that the majority of the time spent awake in the most interesting peoples' lives ends up being pretty mediocre, so it's something everyone has knowledge of/experience with and probably not something worthy of "fun time".

Aside from nobody wanting to buy it, it'd be hard to give away. Of the various reasons I have for reading and writing, using that skill to "do something I experience with the vast majority of my existence -- reading mail, preparing food, writing boier-plate, fixing various broken thing around the house -- and something, at that, which I don't particularly enjoy" is going to land very low on a long to-do list :) My house will become self-aware before I get to that task.
