Given that you would first have to 1) Identify me as a target worth pursuing (not possible from my wallet addresses if I practice adequate sanitizing of inputs); 2) Figure out where I live (also not possible from wallet addresses, or even people who have sent to me); and 3) Verify I even had enough shards of a key accessible to me in my home to transfer funds to you anyway (not to mention 4) Outgun me), all the violence in the world isn't going to bypass the math.

If you're violent enough, nothing is going to protect me or the people I love from you, but that's regardless of whether my money is in Bitcoin or USD. There's no disadvantage for Bitcoin here.

The added difficulty of your obtaining the reward you seek actually reduces your incentive to try. The only incentive to kill me then is blind violence, and I guess you can admit to that motivation if you want, but it's protective for me against anyone less psychotically violent than that.
you guys beat me to it by a couple hours
Thanks for that pointer! I had seen these around, but hadn't looked into it. I guess that kind of makes the point that tradable identity already exists in the form of DNS. Although, in that case, it's the position of the name itself in the namespace that is the commodity of interest, not so much what its ownership provides access to. What I have in mind is something really similar, but the commodity is effectively anonymous, but provides secure and unique access to some asset.

Also, DNS and ENS names are both rented, rather than owned.

U.S. Launches Cyber ‘Sprints’ in the Wake of Nation-State Hacks
Are any major banknotes monochrome?
This is quite literally the myth involving ham or pork and soda pop. Of course in that case the "worms" were just the fat moving and solidifying from the carbonation. This time it is someone, apparently for the first time, discovering that wickable* fibers found in masks tend to move about when liquid is absorbing into or evaporating from them. Of course these fibers are in a lot of other places, including your winter clothing and anything else absorbent you might happen to wear.

Someone in another response pointed out the Japanese dishes with dry bonito flakes that move around in animate style when subjected to steam. It's exactly the same thing.

* Wickable might not be a real word. I mean "able to wick" as any absorbant fiber can.
This is a misrepresentation.

1) Critical Race Theory as a mainstay of scholarship is relatively new it it's broad intervention into all disciplines.

2) The 'big misrepresentaion' in your thesis is that you're alluding to some of the material value in the CRT lens (a kernel of truth) to posit it as the lens through which we should be understanding everything (the article used only CRT language to describe the dolls - nothing else).

3) By your own assertion, we're having to make some very broad assumptions about culture in order to draw conclusions, but in reality there isn't enough information to draw upon.

The assertion made in the article that 'Dolls are used to reinforce genders stereotypes' is a secondary artifact of the dolls, and frankly it's an insult to scholarship because it has little to do with the dolls directly.

Dolls were toys, used for a variety of reasons, the fact that those activities possibly reinforced gender roles is a secondary artifact. To represent that as 'the first truth' of the dolls is the giant CRT lie.

A female commenter here on the board gave some insight when she indicated: "She used the dolls to mimic her mother" - which is something I never would have thought of. Now that's thoughtful. What we could infer from these dolls from antiquity is possibly how little has changed.

The dolls, more than anything are probably just a reflection of society as a whole - like everything.

By CRT logic, the first thing we should say about 'The Mona Lisa' is that Da Vinci was 'Reinforcing Gender Stereotypes of Feminine Beauty'

The Statue of David? Michelangelo was 'Reinforcing Gender Stereotypes of Youthful Masculinity'

Yes - there are elements of validity in CRT, but as soon as you start with that hammer, everything crumbles into nonsense.

The article, as it stands, is rubbish, it has no intellectual value other than to give us a few nice photos to glean our own understanding.
Ha! Look up "user activated soft fork" or "UASF".

Ultimately, Bitcoin is backed by node operators and widespread social consensus. Thinking China can just split and control the network is a pretty serious misunderstanding of the power dynamic in this system.. one we all had demonstrated at the conclusion of the block size wars.
I had to look this up:

For Tesla's the battery pack is about 1/4 of the vehicle's weight. The battery pack weighs around 500Kg and the car is around 2,000Kg, depending on the model. The main problem as EV manufacturers look to shave weight the batteries are going to become more integrated into the car's structure, which is going to make them harder to remove and reuse the cells at the end of the car's life.
You make a good point. I don't know, it might be. I'm thinking of all the absolutely bonkers things that all sides in WWII came up with that were obviously expensive to develop but never really saw usefulness.
The example of reporters unintentionally exposing sources is a pretty good reason to publicize that it exists.
> that simply doesn't make any sense.

It does you just don't understand yet. Let me try and explain.

Inflation measured by the government in CPI is a bad metric. It doesn't include ownership in assets which is the ability to retire.

We already had inflation if you measure the cost of retirement in USD. With the spending package we drove a bull run.

The SP500 going up in price is equivalent to the value of USD going down for anyone who doesn't own part of the market. They have to buy in at higher and higher cost.

Younger generations have been priced out of an ability to own and in turn retire. While those who owned assets experienced a nice boost this year.

When the cost of retirement goes up the value of USD goes down just like anything else.

Maybe your work would be better positioned for a grant of some kind. Is there a membership organization that many radio people belong to and pay dues? They'd possibly have the funds to make improvements to the ecosystem.
For whom was she spying?
I think the most convincing argument is that Bitcoin is an enabler for crime. Governments have a responsibility here.
The easiest way in isn't even writting an app, just provide a dylib that solves a common problem, get it into an answer on a site like StackOverflow and you now can run whatever you want on plenty of devices.

Remember Apple doesn't instrument the Apps when they review them, the closest they come to that is running everything through a proxy and looking for connections that are obviously malicious. This is one of the massive holes in the wall that Facebook often walks through.
Hosting costs money. Although for someone who's go-to stack for a meme website is NextJS + React could probably afford to fork over $70 for 15 minutes of Internet fame.
Google analytics is the wrong end of Google. Sure you can get few customers now and then who love privacy and will ditch GA.

But for most, GA is how Google ads knows how to calculate conversions. People who want to use Google ads (which are everywhere) have to use GA. If you are not using Google Ads, I dont think Google cares much about your site anyway.
> Messages are ordered within partitions.

Right, but that means you're still "unordered" across those partitions?

> TCP/IP ?

But TCP/IP isn't delivered in order, it rearranges the unordered packages by their ID. I guess ordered delivery would be nice for that, but I just feel like making your protocol not require ordering is far simpler.

Not to mention that both TCP and Kafka have to handle head of line blocking?

I'm not trying to say that ordering is bad or anything, I just feel like it isn't buying me tons.
Probably better investment than this:

It's a 480 line (gene) Hello World. For this to be the minimum viable cell, when we don't even know what so many of the genes do, would be surprising to me. It would mean pre-cellular life somehow gathered these genes or equivalents without the benefits a cell provides. Not saying it's impossible, but it would be pretty interesting.
Soldiers spend about 1000x as much time training, inventorying, fixing things, learning, and communicating as they do in a firefight, and AR is potentially very high value-add in all of those spaces.
It very well might. If I simply don't have enough shards of the key or keys for the multisignature address, sure, you can still kill me, but you can't get the money from me. It's impossible.

You can see my related comment below, but if you're motivated by the money, this protects me. You'll never get it if I'm dead.

If you're motivated by violence, though, nothing protects me. But the same is every bit as true if my money is in USD.
I think in these cases the actual utility of the product does not matter. What matters is that someone gets a government contract and something exchanges hands.

Something can be a failed national health platform, or toys like this one.
Thanks for the clarification.

I had a few follow up questions:

Is this profile usually a verbal communication with you and the landlord then or do they expect to see written proof of those profile details during a viewing appointment?

What would an "reasonable" price be for the mock up listing of the 65 square meter place in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg be then?

Lastly aside from rent I'm guessing the two biggest overheads are power and internet? What could one expect those to be?
Opinion. The goal is to make certain people a lot of money. See F22 for example.

If actually works that’s a bonus.
Right. I didn't think I was trying to rewrite history -- I'm simply pointing out a gap in the market that Android was attempting to fill. Asking me to enumerate everything out there at the time is silly -- especially given the haze of memory.

Symbian was far more popular in Europe than it ever was Stateside, so bear that in mind. I had to import my Nokia E70 gullwing phone before I received my sooner, and what functionality it had was okay, but the browser was hardly more than a WAP browser in a feature phone. The app store was barely there as well, including only a handful of very simple apps at the time.
Regarding the Amazon affiliate marketing bit: I am surprised he didn’t make at least an order of magnitude more money from the clicks.

I ran a site that was popular on a niche subreddit in 2013-2014 which had Amazon affiliate links. On the very first day when the site was the top post, the resulting affiliate commissions were over $500. And most of them were not for products that were linked to on the site. The lifetime commissions earned was about $11K from a total of maybe 100K unique visitors. The biggest contributor to the commissions were unrelated expensive purchases that visitors made later on Amazon. I’m curious if the affiliate program changed in the 8 years since.

Well, this I call change of culture ...

It happens. But not overnight. And being rich in children is not only viewed as retirement savings, there are other reasons too ... which might change with general development. But again, maybe not overnight. Which was the scenario I was talking about.
But that tool is mathematics. As far as I know -- at least, that's what things were like in my time in school -- when programmers learn mathematics they use standard notation, not their own. When they use the tool called natural language to write documentation, they also use standard notation, not their own, and when they study diagrams they (at least I) prefer looking at a pictures with lines rather than SVG source. I don't understand why a tool that is used by programmers but is nothing at all like a computer program should use computer program notation, and I don't think programmers would prefer reading mathematics differently from everyone else.

I believe the reason this comes up in the first place is that people confuse TLA+'s mathematics with programming (or else why would they even ask something so different from programming to look like programming?). There are specification languages that are, or look like, programming languages; TLA+ came later and is intentionally different -- what's different isn't just the notation but the very meaning of the expressions you write. Why is it different? Because mathematics is simpler than even the most basic programming language -- which has such complex notions like a call stack or evaluation order -- and therefore clearer, and clarity is of the utmost importance in specification. I grew to appreciate that a great deal, and I think that decision makes TLA+ both clearer and more powerful than other specification languages. But you are right -- familiarity to programmers isn't one of it's strengths, but it has many others that, in my opinion, more than make up for that.
As a general observation Asana feels intentionally stripped of features for aesthetic reasons, rather than any actual process reasons.

A specific casualty of this “Remove all the things!” approach is ticket ids. Perhaps the logic was that since you have a title and a link, that’s all you need. Well, no. Titles can change, but ticket numbers tend to be fixed within teams. Without a short ticket id, it is very difficult to coordinate say git branches/prs to tickets. Whereas if you had a short stable id, you can just name your branch WEB-1234, and know it is associated with ticket WEB-1234. Short stable ids also make it easy to make summary tables, text docs, sms messages, paper notes, and other forms of communication refer to the ticket without constantly copying some excruciatingly long URL, or meaningless hexcode.

In my brief experience with Asana, I found it to prioritize form over function. Or as a friend of mine said when comparing to Jira to Asana, “Jira may be a hard configure mess, but at least it knows what problems it’s trying to solve, even if it’s not particularly great at it. Asana doesn’t know what it is.”
But because the commit has different metadata after amending, it now has a different SHA and is a different commit.

For illustration, a minor inconvenience of amending the commit is that `git branch -d my-feature-branch` no longer succeeds for the original branch, because it looks for the actual commit SHA, not the tree.

You may not care about the effects of changing the commit, but those effects are real and other people care.
Songwriters getting the short stick is an old fact in the 'industry'. (There's a Songwriter's Hall of Fame - ever seen it's inductees on TV?)

Back in the rock'n'roll era, with the new 'teenager' category raining allowances on labels, label-owners often got a co-writer credit on songs. (And then there was the vinyl shipped 'off the books'.) They also typically grabbed up publishing rights.

Since streaming began: I've seen figures like $2 per 1000 streams for big-name artists. I've never seen figures mentioned for songwriters. At one time a top-10 hit might be covered by dozens of big names (each a potential revenue source for decades) - today stuff comes & goes quickly.
It isn't a "random problem".

It's a legitimate question about the design principles that are being used here. Is the headset "dumb" and just shows the same HUD view for everyone, or is it custom to the soldier's position in the formation? We don't know, but it's a question to think about that has actual implications for how something like this could be used or even implemented.

Having worked with Fivetran, Segment and Singer in the past I am really excited for an opensource solution like what you guys have developed. The long tail of connectors has been a real hassle when you work with mostly small companies who use very specific SaaS products.

Stephen Diehl's goal is control others. He doesn't value citizens having sound currency via non-money printing. It is a free country so the part of the country building a financial system around non-money printing digital currencies will do that. Stephen doesn't need to buy into it. Those who want a non-money printing digital currency driven financial system will opt-in. Opt-in and opt-out is what happens in free countries. Stephen should focus on allowing people to be free, make their individual choice. He should stop trying to control other people.
Oh certainly -- like I said, there are plenty of pieces of propaganda I disagree with WRT the Chinese govt and its justifications for actions.

As to the OP's unasked question as to if the world would prefer living under Chinese supremacy vs American supremacy I think the difference is where in the world one currently lives. Generally speaking, I assume that North Americans, Brits, and small parts of Asia (Japan, Taiwan, Philippines) likely prefer American hegemony. OTOH, pretty much everywhere else in the world likely prefers a Chinese hegemony.
Depends. If you only need a VPN to get around geo-restrictions you can use anything.
I don't think there is dichotomy between ability and cheating. The dichotomy is just too make us feel better if we lose against cheater.

Highly skilled people cheat to get little bit more advantage against other highly skilled people. And it is harder to catch them, because the ability demonstrated in some situations means everyone will go out of way to excuse them.

Highly skilled people cheating also means that only cheaters can rise to the top of competition.
I like that this article recognises the key use case of exercise as a "killer app" while other applications develop. After the novelty wear's off, most games lose their interest. While there are a few novel game mechanics, there aren't as many as you would think and the impracticality of putting on a headset and isolating nature of it mean that it fails to break through as an activity that keeps you using it with a high level of regularity.

But exercise is not like that. It has real advantages especially for people not well situated to access other exercise options. Because the headset is intrinsically motion tracking you it knows a lot about your motions and can really feed that back and closely integrate motions into scoring mechanisms etc that gamify exercise in a way that isn't possible through any other means. But best of all, it's an intrinsically regular activity - it's a reason to use your headset every day for an hour or more - something that easily tips it over the value proposition needed to justify buying it.
It doesn't look like they're removing dislikes at all, but rather hiding the count of dislikes from viewers of the video (in a test).
> Reddit actually monetized internet arguing.

I never thought about it like this. I always just thought of Reddit Gold as just another weird Internet quirk I will never understand.

I kind of wonder if NFTs for artwork will become the same thing. Like amplifying comments, maybe high NFT prices will be a way to amplify one artist over another in what is a very crowded marketplace.
I'm willing to bet someone thought that because of how extremely fine graphene is, it would be even better than activated charcoal for filtering tiny particles. That of course ignores that it is a super-fine particle of the kind you should be filtering instead.

It all reminds me of how coal miners used to purposely inhale McIntyre Powder, which was pulverized aluminum, to protect their lungs, only to end up with different medical problems.

Unflatteringly, this also happened in Canada. Apparently we never learn.

Stern Institute launches novel Sneeze-Tracking website
We’d like to announce the launch of our new website, https://sneezl.es , which uses real-time data and machine-learning to provide a map of worldwide sneezing.

Sneezes: for something so universal and explosive, they’ve historically been hidden away - but the Sneezles Project is bringing them into the spotlight. With global collaboration and powerful computers, scientists are beginning to uncover the impact this very human activity has on all our lives, from weather patterns to noise pollution, and beyond.

Sneezl.es is the flagship output of a three year research and innovation effort between international partners: the Stern Institute, Bless University and Tes Souhaits design studio. After this painstaking work, the team are ready to present Sneezles as the next generation in sneeze tracking.

“We’ve never seen anything like it before,” said Quentin Saint, Sneezles project lead. “It’s already challenging our assumptions about the patterns of sneezing around the world. It’s tremendously exciting to think of what we could do with people submitting sneezes of their own via the app”.

See a map of sneezes in real time at https://www.sneezl.es and sign up to get details of how you can contribute via the Hankie sneeze-tracking app. Developers can also get in touch to find out how to use the data in their own applications.

I wonder if this is going to be incredibly useful or totally over the top for research. Imagine a development like the BioNTech vaccine. With an atomic-resolution cell simulator, you could verify your mRNA code, including the delivery into the cell itself and watch it perform.

But would that be like watching my CPU decode and fetch instructions, interesting but completely useless for most practical applications, or like a debugger introspecting a running process, an incredible useful tool?
But those are the same for iOS, yet Bluetooth on iOS is far better than on Android.

This is true.

But some of them just seem to very creatively thank you for your support. I recall reading one that waxed eloquent about how supporting them at the one dollar level would buy you a guilt-free conscience with regards to consuming their content or something like that.
How else is the mainstream supposed to spin reality? Entertainment giants used to more easily create the illusion of consensus, but web platforms like YouTube completely mess with their power by showing downvotes.
