Not generally, no. The metadata may contain some legal wording in a free-text description field, but it's up to the contract publisher. The big expensive beeple NFT metadata reads like a stream of consciousness.

Folk's are having trouble understanding the idea of owning 'nothing' and 'digitally enforced scarcity', so using the concept of a house deed is probably a good analogy. It's just an electronic record at the bank, but it lets you 'own' a house. Deeds of course have a long history of standardized legal definition and regulations. NFT's... do not.

Regarding contractual language vs code -- Ricardian contracts were invented for this purpose. As yet, we are not seeing Ricardian clauses appearing in smart contracts.

Personally, I think that folks buying NFT's are crazy. (and I am a bitcoin advocate). This doesn't stop me from wanting to sell them (for bitcoin) ;-)
You can absolutely manage ubiquiti local. Even with a ridiculously named local appliance called a cloud key. Their cameras are unfortunately another story.

"The 30% cut was considered very good at the time."

Let me fix this.

There was a full range of views. Some considered the 30% cut to be good at the time, some didn't consider it much at all, some considered it to be a criminal abuse of market power. I remember commenting myself that microsoft would be crucified for attempting to tax everyone who wanted to write software for windows 30% of revenue. I don't recall anyone suggesting that was a controversial comment.

My personal experience with Meraki has been the very definition of vendor lock-in.

The security appliance was relatively cheap, then we saw the fine print that the total bandwidth was artificially limited and increased only adaquetly two product levels up. Sorry Mr BubbleTime, you need to buy a new applicance and a new license. Your old one is worth nothing and non-transferable, watch it rot.

The switches seem absurdly expensive when you consider the 5-7 year licensing costs. And the quality is poor at best considering Meraki went and pushed a firmware update that bricked every fan in every 48 port switch we had. But you have the security appliance so it “only makes sense” to pay for these switches.

We had an IPSEC incompatibility between a vendor with an ASA and our Meraki gear. The solution was to buy a Cisco device just for that one connection.

All in all, it’s passable, but because of the lock-in it’s not like I have a cost effective choice to get away from it. I wouldn’t chose it again.

That said, it does offer a mediocre IT tech a single pane of glass they have to try to mess up.

Of all the Meraki factors I’ve learned and considered, that it is cloud-based is the least important towards my recommendation or lack of. There are lots of people that would be happy to explain all the ways my experience is wrong, but whatever.

Short version, I wouldn’t do it again.

> I can't help to wonder, would it be so successful if it weren't for all the Google-hype and the push because of kubernetes?

Yes - Go would have been successful without the hype. There is a lot of underlying thoughtfulness to the design and language ergonomics when it comes to working in teams. Go lets you write simple code in a simple way - and that's the bulk of the code I read and write. The more hairy bits can be a bit unwieldy in Go, but it's still serviceable.

As a recovering Perl programmer, Go has an anti-TIMTOWTDI philosophy, and I love it. It absolutely demolishes a lot of bike-shedding: I bet gofmt alone has saved humanity millions of work-hours. For any system that requires a modicum of maintenance in a team setting, Go edges out most other languages: Go code is darn readable. For writing once-off/one and done systems, Go loses its biggest advantage.

A female mouse can give birth at the age of two and a half months. In a few thousand years, you can have some 10 000 generations.

Would it really take 10 000 generations for mice to become venomous?

I've seen this checklist before and it is infuriatingly lazy, like taking the famous HN lowbrow dismissal and turning it into a meme, but actually taking the meme seriously.

Lithium-Ion batteries are not the most superior battery. They might be the best we have for some use cases, but obviously not all, or they would have 100% market share. They haven't replaced disposable alkaline batteries. They haven't replaced AGP batteries. They haven't replaced Lead Acid batteries. They haven't replaced Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. There are plenty of reasons why: cost, weight, safety, shelf life, etc.

Since Lithium Ion doesn't have 100% market share, a useful comparison does not have to be with Lithium Ion in order for a battery technology to be a meaningful advance. And even if it did, sometimes an advance in just one area can be enough to overcome its disadvantages in other areas.

Example: I use Lithium Iron Phosphate in my sailboat. Yes, it has lower energy density. Yes, it has lower power density. Yes, it is more expensive. Yes, it has shorter lifecycle. Yes, it has a slow charge rate. It has one solitary advantage over lithium ion, and that single advantage is the difference between life and death: it is more chemically stable and thermally stable, and less likely to result in fires.

If you have a fire in your car, that sucks...but you can just open up your car door and walk 20 feet to safety. You hop on your cell phone and call AAA or a taxi or a friend. If you're on a sailboat in the middle of the ocean, you can't do that. Even if you've planned well, with a ditch kit, a liferaft, and an EPIRB, you are still potentially several hours or even days before someone can get to you to get you to safety. In the meantime, you're floating on an ocean with waves taller than your liferaft, with a limited supply of food and water, and you have a tiny plastic membrane separating you from a place where you would need constant energy to survive and where you are no longer the top of the food chain.

So with all due respect, fuck lithium ion. And fuck this list. There is plenty of room for advances in battery technology, and we don't need religious charlatans from the Cult of Musk shitting on every single battery tech announcement.

Winforms is probably a no-go on migration, but you should definitely check out Blazor if you want to develop any new business apps. We have constructed some incredibly complex business dashboards using this framework and cant imagine how some of this would even be possible if we had to move back to a front-end client framework and invent a bunch of JSON APIs.

Also, the new Blazor Desktop stuff is extremely exciting:

> The first difference is that the WebWindow container doesn’t use WebAssembly at all. Yes, you can run more or less the same Blazor application in WebWindow as you would in a web page. But when you use a web page, it’s executed by a lightweight .NET runtime that’s powered by WebAssembly. When you use it in WebWindow, it will use the cross-platform .NET runtime directly.

There is a lot of really amazing stuff coming down the roadmap, so I can easily advocate for enduring some degree of pain to get on this wagon.

on-prem is much better in most cases because if there is a bug an attacker would have to scan the internet and find you before a patch is released and you update. If that bug is only accessible from inside of your network to begin with, then that means the attacker would already have to be inside your network.

As far as the team having skills, there is not much that ubiquity does that can't be handled on prem, I mean you're already installing physical devices, how much more effort is it to install a controller? Sure, that means you're on the hook for upgrades, but in most cases you're better off not getting them instantly anyway.

a fair market is one that is devoid of coercive influence by any market participant, almost diametrically opposed to oppressiveness. whereas in a "free" market, oppression is the expected steady-state, because it inherently invites manipulation to produce advantage, as with any game (in the academic sense) without rules. try playing basketball without rules and see what happens.
> Got a courtesy call from BMW the other day to let me know my brake fluid needed changing and would I like an appointment made at my nearest garage?

That's only marginally better than it popping up an alert on the dashboard, which many modern cars most probably do anyway, but imo it feels like something of a privacy invasion.

> It also has GPS and will automatically alert BNW if air bags are deployed. Has saved lives.

Aren't there systems that automatically call an emergency number and send GPS coordinates when they detect a crash? I think I read somewhere that some countries are even going to mandate them on new cars.

(Disclaimer: I'm not much into cars. I do have a driving license, but I don't own a car and don't drive very often.)
It's an attempt to create an ownership model for publicly-displayed objects in a way that only communicates value. It's trying to layer this physical-world model onto a virtual world in which those uniqueness constraints don't apply in the same way.

> That seems reasonable across microarch versions, but presumably is totally reasonable within a product-release-cycle

Sure, but the performance doesn't scale linearly with the frequency. So how can we account for that? Also, the i9 10900F and i9-10850K have the same turbo. How long can they sustain in for? On how many cores? What frequency is left afterward? This gets even weirder with more recent technologies that push the frequency higher depending on power delivery stability and thermal constraints.

I agree; the frequency is indicative of performance within a product lifecycle. But I find it too meaningless to give an approximate delta on the performance. And this assumes the process you are running is not too much memory bottlenecked or I/O bound and this delta in performance can be measured. (And the setup can sustain higher thermals).

While not perfect, I prefer to look up benchmarks that resemble my workload and call it a day. Processors are too complicated for me to try to compare with simple numbers.
that is a good question I suppose. I was speaking strictly to the protocol and open ecosystem.
Unfortunately after much trial and error I have discovered that the “world” doesn’t run on logic. It runs on emotion.
And yeah it's absolutely not a lie. it's talking about recommendations of an entire population of people all with varying levels of immune system response to pathogens of all ages and sizes and pre-existing conditions. Their guideline is there for the late stage cancer patient as well as the high school athlete in peak physical form. To call it a lie is disingenuous at best and outright malicious at worst.

sure in a vacuum that food might not harbor enough bacteria to make you sick but you don't always grab that food with clean hands and separate the slice from one another with clean hands or if someone sneezed near to the time the box was open and some bad stuff landed on it and then grew like a petri dish. it's good advice to follow in general. just like the fda guideline says cook your chicken to 165ºF they also have a more nuanced outlook on it too with appropriate charts for pasteurization schedules and risk management guidelines for restaurants.

why do they say 165 is the best temp? well that's the temp that if your chicken reaches internally there will be a large log reduction in salmonella populations within mere seconds of reaching that temp. you can cook chicken safely when you do so at a lower temperature but you need to cook it longer. 165 for seconds is safe and a good phrase to teach the general population about.

Thank you for taking the time, I understand the concept you're explaining, it just sounds implausible. At the end of the day, they're still fantasizing about children, they've just found a way to believe that they're doing it in a way that is not mentally deleterious. I'll keep reading, but it's going to take something extraordinary to convince me that the link between sexual excitement and the qualities that make up the concept of a child is something that manifests in people who aren't paedophiles.
That's simply not true, Android outsells iOS, it has multiple App Stores and allows sideloading. Plenty of phones come with 2 or 3 different app stores from the network, vendor and Google. The fact is consumers like app stores, they like consolidation because it makes it simpler for them and a lot of them like the benefits they get from a walled garden. Developers like consolidation too, which is why they have converged on the Play Store en masse on Android. These things benefit them, and the vast, vast majority appreciate those benefits more than they appreciate the benefits of managing multiple competing stores and side loading downloaded APKs.

You can't magic those preferences away. Even if you forced iOS to become an Android clone with multiple app stores and sideloading you can't force people to like those things. You'd just be giving an extra option to a very small subset of techies who have Android now to do that on already anyway. The market has spoken and it likes nice simple well managed choices because that's what the people want.

Why is it that Apple have to make the solution a small subset of people want. Why is that their problem to solve?

Maybe these stores converged on 30% because it's a nice round number and a roughly 1:2 split makes intuitive sense. Consoles, music stores, Steam, mobile app stores, they've all circled around about that number for a very long time. Some have tried around 20/80 to grab market share but it never worked, Nintendo tried 35/65 for a while before going to 30/70. In the end it's natural that competitive forces will tend to a convergence.
I strongly disagree with this general philosophy. One should be able to use an absolute, non-relativistic unit of measure that requires no external knowledge at all. Not even to other parts of the same layout.

Relativistic units are inadequate if they are free to cause non-pixel perfect transformations of designers intent from platform to platform. It is no more reasonable to re-layout a carefully designed UI then it is to reposition objects and people in a movie scene played on devices of different resolution, in fact it is much less reasonable.

Perhaps, in some circumstances this will call for platform specific design, and that is correct and appropriate. Perhaps a UI will look like a postage stamp on a high pixel density display. Adjusting for that difference is the domain of the operating system and the user. Even the OS may be unaware of the actual physical size of the display, for example when using a projector.

Automatic layout is a convenance, but it works against not for good design.
There are no savings accounts with interest comparable to stocks. If that was so nobody would invest in stocks because one has big risk and the other zero.

At the end of the day, the basic moral tenets of the christian faith can be found in every other faith, this aspect of the christian faith is the least unique IMO. "Love thy neigbor," being able to let things go, and helping the less fortunate are also in fact Buddhist rhetoric. Mr. Rodgers leaned on his faith because that's the philosophy he knew and understood how to use examples from. If his mother raised him with Eastern philosophy instead of scripture, he probably would have put up words from the Buddha which convey a similar message instead of that bible verse.

NFTs btw have plenty of uses, just most of the ones out there getting attention IMO don't. Most of the NFTs now are like trading cards, at least the successful ones. Why is there so much hate for digital trading cards?

As for actual productive uses of NFT, personalized tokens that sell time are one. Several prominent people in the space have self tokenized and sell hours as tokens. Linking NFTs to real assets also shows promise. It makes sense for proof of ownership a large, immutable record of ownership.

NFTs could additionally enable individuals to sell many goods and services with the built-in benefit of price discovery. Let's say I'm an instagram influencer, instead of selling posts through a broker who takes a large cut, I tokenize them and sell them online. If my price is too high, no one buys them. If my price is too low, the market gives me information about how much I should actually charge.
