Well it’s hard to say, really.

The statement he leads his paper with is clearly wrong if read literally. Others follow that are simply not fully correct or intellectually honest.

The overall history includes the works of scholars who have shaped the field, be it 150 years ago or 50 years ago and at least, were influential. I
am clearly still missing the point, but I can not see any way to read this sentence in a way that would be correct.

Are the scholars mentioned as counter examples and the people who draw upon them to tackle their research not doing research in the field? What are they doing, then? What have they been doing for the last 60 years?
I specifically take issue with eliminating people like Jim March, who has thought very deeply about rationality and actual human behavior in the context of complex systems aka organizations.

Or see it from my view: I have published work with Agent Based complex models, interdisciplinary work with psychologists, sociologists and mathematicians, that should be looked upon favorably by the author of this article. Am I doing complexity economics in the sense of the author now?

Because the academic lineage I draw upon includes (though not exclusively) a good amount of economists that the author so malignes. And not obscure ones either!

It seems like the author wants to co opt the many exciting ideas in economic theory and approach that are still ongoing - but in reality they also have been ongoing for decades, in parallel to what he sees as economics.

If the author sees himself part of this scientific conversation, why not represent it fairly? I know one has to frame a paper like this against something, but this is just overdone.
I guess we will see who is right once the studies are done. There is definitely proof that fasting reduces inflammation, if reducing inflammation helps with ageing is being worked on by people like David Sinclair at Harvard and others.
This reminds me of a 1980s magazine called World Press Review. WPR would take a number of topics every month. For each topic they would print a number of editorials from various points of view. Each editorial was accompanied by the source's masthead and a short note about the source's political perspective.

For the most part they used the labels each source used to describe itself (conservative, libertarian, socialist, labor, etc) rather than words like "left" or "right".

What I liked about WPR was that you got a sense that the world was more complex than a simple one-dimensional binary left/right, black/white, true/false.

I believe that left/right language obscures this complexity. Worse, labels like "extreme left" and "leans right" and assert that there is a "center" or a default. "Centrism" or "moderate" is really just a cluster of political positions, though they may be the most common ones.

The real world is not binary left/right. It's more like Princess Mononoke, with the wolves, the boars, the apes, the Imperial soldiers, the humans of Iron Town, the human raised by wolves, and the last Emishi prince.

Update: WPR lives on as Worldpress.org but seems to now carry mostly original content rather than reprints.
Not sure if you are affiliated with https://newscatcherapi.com/ but I just wanted to note that the "privacy bot" is horrible from a UX standpoint and likely brakes the GDPR as well. 1) if you decline, it pops up separately on every website. 2) it doesn't allow users to separately opt-in and opt-out to tracking 3) the wording is not clear on the privacy aspect 4) it's linked to a chat nad newsletter
Glad I found the one person on HN that can detect sarcasm.

Be careful: An Email Account linked to README and public repository is considerable as privacy information.
Same on iOS which is maybe not a surprise?
I believe the whole account is flagged if enough comments are flagged by multiple people. I've already emailed dang.
Personally, I think it is valuable to understand that the thought process behind political views. I may not agree with anything they say but I may be able to understand their reasoning behind it, which is already a big step.

Also as a mental exercise I sometimes read an article I 100% disagree with but then try to actually formualte in my mind WHY the article is wrong instead of just saying "AHH THE EVIL LEFT/RIGHT ARE AT IT AGAIN WITH THEIR LIES". It's not as easy as one might expect it to be.
I did that! I hope you are not the person who suffered that from me (did you use Picnic CSS a few years back?). So for a newer project I put some setup code that will look for all code snippets with a specific comment and run that with the code after the comment. For generating the website documentation that test bit can be stripped (though I kept it for now).

Example: https://github.com/franciscop/server/blob/master/docs/docume...
points 1 & 2 are contradictory. 3 is easily gamed. 4 can be worked on.

The idea of a permanently-inflationary cryptocurrency with a stable inflation rate doesn't sound bad

However, bitcoin as digital gold will still survive.

I 'm pretty sure what he describes it the current banking system as well: banks loan the plebs who pay back interest, who then the capitalists convert to gold,art,real estate, permanently enriching themselves. Even the data from piketty etc shows it's true. Bitcoin ecosystem is just the digital version of this.
When I have worked at large companies we handled everything ourselves and dealt directly with the fabs.

When I worked at startups and smaller companies we have interacted with:

Global Unichip Corporation (I believe TSMC owns part of the company)

https://www.guc-asic.com/en-global

Open Silicon (they literally merged with SiFive to become OpenFive and made this chip in the article)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-Silicon

Uniquify

Socionext

There are others but these are the 4 that I have dealt with.
Because you are hungry today.

If you're going to let the future determine your transaction patterns too much you will quite literally starve in the present. So even in that scenario there will be transactions and people will be happy to take your coin because they too hope that its value will go up. Obviously once a large fraction of world trade would be in a currency like that the currency itself would start to exhibit the same traits as the global economy and this effect would mostly cancel out any inherent properties.

Effectively: bitcoin was underpriced at the beginning to the point that it could only go up, the question is how far it will do that before it will have expanded to fill the niches where it fits. As soon as that has happened it will cease to increase.
Nice, it as a matte screen.
The engine used LuaJIT, but this is not available on iOS.

The code was a mess, absolutely no batching, quite the contrary.
You forgot to add military-grade encryption and cloud-native tags
For some people, notepad.exe is sufficient, but not for everyone. I’m a professional researcher and writer. My notes are much more than “the software equivalent of grabbing a scrap of paper.” They’re an essential information management and organization tool without which I couldn’t do my job.
"Kids almost universally use Instagram and Facebook makes money from that"

Purely anecdotal but speaking as a dad myself I don't know any kids using Facebook or Instagram. By kids I'm meaning pre-teens here so maybe our definitions differ.

Children should be kept off all these sorts of platforms imho. It's entirely within a parent's control. I therefore don't like FB trying to lure more people into their world with a product like this.

Sure they can make it safer for children but I think this misses the core point. This is not suitable for them however its designed.
> Public benefit, not hatred, is the primary motivation behind higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy

All taxes are essentially a re-do or a refund at the socieatal level

Corporations sell a product or a service, citizens see such product/service and think they might use it to improve their lives.

Then they decide to exchange some social status (represented by their net worth in USD) for the quality of life provided by that product or service.

Then they collectively realize that everybody had the same idea and that the corporation and its owners accumulated so much social status in the form of net worth flowing out of citizens and into the corporation/owners coffins.

Now they want all want a re-do/refund even though they voluntarily agreed to exchange part of their social status for quality of life and the corporation delivered on that.

What pushes people to claim a refund is :

1) They regret that everybody had the same idea as themselves and that they contributed to socially elevate that person so much

2) Hedonistic treadmill kicks in so the quality of life provided by that product/service doesn't feel as good as the first day you used it...so you are now even more regretful that you purchased it.

Witnessing the social elevation of somebody other than self (and having contributed to such social elevation) plus the hedonistic treadmill which makes the product/service not feel like something that is so special anymore compels people to come together and claim a refund in the form of taxation against those who were socially elevated
Note: there may be other options how the same events are covered e.g., China, EU, Russia
Security was their whole rationale given.

I had some related thoughts. They may have a strong content filter on their incoming web. I was sending them a CSV but we had to talk about it like it was a proprietary-format Excel document for the sake of those who would eventually be loading it with Excel.

My best guess eventually was that FTP was considered the best way to go around their content filter on purpose. Makes negative sense to me.
It looks just like a GUI demo but from the information in the repo there seems to be more behind it? Is this a real GUI for a real OS?
If you wait a minute stuff comes up on iOS, at least for me. Could use some kind of progress bar or other indication it's loading.
Hopefully they don't force the kids to use services though. I know one class my sister took required the use of facebook which is pretty terrible.
Are you running a bot? In other threads, your comments seem to be summaries of TA.
I wanted to keep the website "clean" (whatever that means) that's why I did not specifically states that their.news is mainly built for US news. But I agree that this could have been made more clearer.

Regarding the al jazeera thing: I was thinking about adding news with foreign languages and then using e.g. deepl.com to translate all the news on the fly and make it searchable. This would be really cool, but would require a pretty big restructuring of the project.
ElementaryOS is the best at this I've seen, as far as Linux distros. They have their own desktop environment, pantheon, which a designer has obviously laboured over. Use Inter as a UI font, disable all font hinting, and you have visual aesthetics and usability that is better than Windows, and in striking distance to macOS.
Chinacoin is going to be big. I call it Zitcoin, bcause it is going to be like pimple in all governments ass. 1) Works in every phone everywhere 2) Zerocost immediate transfer 3) Immediate exchange to other currency via Alipay 4) Including Bitcoin 5) Negative interest aka inflation, as it is not an investment.

At first it will replace all small-scale money transfer in shops and services. Eventually governments have to act, and cheapest way is to pay China -- just to collect their value-added taxes.

> Distrust will also prevent a whole generation of investors to invest again

My parents lost a lot in the 2000 crash, so were spared from the 2008 crash. Between those two I decided buying shares was a mugs game

(Nasdaq was 4000-5000 before crashing to 1300 back in 2000. It recovered to 2500 by 2008 before crashing back to 1500.

It's now 14,000 - massive gains in the last 10 years I've missed out on because of not trusting.

If you'd have bought $1k of Nasdaq and 1k of Bitcoin 5 years ago, you'd have $3k from nasdaq - an amazing return.

I can sort of see why the nasdaq is so high though. Crypto though?

That same $1k would mean you'd have $137k from bitcoin. If that's sustainable I don't know what unsustainable is.

DOGE? You'd be a millionaire.

But the political decisions of the economy seem to be built around driving these things up. It makes the UK house price boom of the 90s and 00s look tame - 500% in 25 years? A measly 6% roi?

25% per year gains on stocks, 170% per year on bitcoin? 300% per year on DOGE?

In 2018 people were saying about tulipmania with bitcoin and how the price would collapse. It did. $1k invested at the height of the bubble in 2017/18 when it reached $20k - 20 times what it was earlier in the year, was soon worth just $150.

It would now be worth $3k, 45% per year roi from investing at the worst possible time

Putting a measly $10 a month into bitcoin every month for the last 5 years would have cost $600 and left you with $14,620 today.

The market can remain retarded longer than I can remain solvent. The only thing I've learnt waiting for things to crash is that I'm an idiot, and people who fall for hype are rich.
Really nice idea and implementation. How did you determine each source's placement on the left/right spectrum?
Gold mining through the centuries has probably caused much more environmental pollution than bitcoin, and bitcoin ~~mining~~ minting is programmed to end.

Bitcoin can be transferred around the world easily, The way gold achieves permanence is partially by being extremely hard to move around and store.

Gold can be outcompeted too, aluminum used to be more expensive than gold.
And yet I'd never want to go through the brutal/grinding process of a PhD in the United States.

You guys have it really bad in terms of workload, length and insane costs.
Taleb is in the business of selling books. He does really well in this sector.

I think he prepares his readers for a future book "Why Bitcoin failed", written as soon as the price tanks. Well, it might already be in the process of writing.
One way to look at crypto is that each coin is a digital version of a casino chip and you need these chips to gamble in the casino.

At the end of the day it’s just another phenomenon. Cryptocurrencies are many things to many people. You may lament for the person that looses a few hundred dollars but what about all the people who spent money on Pokémon Go just because they wanted to get involved in an activity with their friends.

There’s nothing wrong with getting hurt if you chose to ignore the risks and risked more than you were willing to lose.
By that metric then every tech is consumer tech.
There is no evidence pointing the victim pointed the gun at the suspect. At the moment you choose to take their word which indicates your bias. I lean on the victim’s side though I respect your right to believe what you want.
Right, but, unless GitHub itself is majorly compromised (in which case checking the bash checksum doesn’t help), doesn’t having the commit SHA in the URL make the whole exercise pointless anyway?
left/right doesn't make much sense IMHO, it's way too polarizing in itself. you want at least two dimensions, like liberal/authoritarian policies and libertanian/socialist economics.

that said i love the 'pick your bias' at the top. hits dead center on target. could even be the title of the service itself.
It was $50 at the time precisely because people failed to convince others.

I see lots of people fall into the "If I only had done X back in year Y, then I would be rich." fallacy. No, you wouldn't be rich, because the information available at the time didn't justify such a decision. If that information were available, Bitcoin would have been worth $60k in 2009.

Right now nobody can tell you what will happen to Bitcoin, because all available information is already priced in. At this point it might go up but it might go down as well.
Yes, that is obvious. It is a natural process as much as apoptosis or cell suicide is.
I’ll just leave this here.

Yes, one does. Those who do fight to gain his/her own information independence including - as of now - a small minority of people in China with both the will and technical/political resources, should be well rewarded in doing so. It seems we may both be in favour of access to information independence. Wherever needed. The more the better.
Saying 'people can or cannot use it means that it's not a fundamental property' -> is not an argument.

Nobody has to use anything to value a stock - including current profits. Therefore even current profits would not be 'a fundamental property'.

And of course, nobody has to use any data or logic when valuing absolutely any financial asset anywhere, ergo - the statement is completely pointless.

Again: we value stock based on it's estimated book value, future earnings and other assessments. We can argue a little bit about all of that, fine, that's why we let the market decide.

BTC is just a fantasy speculation.
Monkey Uses Neuralink to Play Ping Pong
Good point. Since I use adfontsmedia rating and wanted to have a very simple website I chose to reduce adfontes 2 axis to a single axis, which is, as you have pointed out heavily oversimplified.

The default "center" position was chose simple because at this point there are the most news outlets.

And it has a far larger learning curve to get productive in it because it doesn't work like other browser apps. Its UX behaviors are mimicking Photoshop on the Mac. There are so many special keyboard shortcuts that it needs to put a guide on-screen to tell you what they are, and then gamify it to color-code which ones you have used.

Sure, it is a good app, and it is popular, but it doesn't feel like a good example of a complex app that should be in the browser.

So you are suggesting that bitcoin, far from having shed the problems of government-issued currency, is going through the process by which irresponsible governments can destroy a currency.
Firefox with uBlock appears to have blocked it.

However, regarding how do we fight back, we fight back the same way we fight any other crime that can't fully be prevented via technical means: the law.
It's incumbent on them to prove that. So far, there is little evidence that they are backed by anywhere near the dollars they claim.
NAMA Chat – Practice any language while texting your friends
At least on mobile, if you manually move the slider left or right, then make a new search, the slider doesn't reset position though the results go back to "center." Got pretty confused when it was selecting far left but showing Breitbart stories.

Also, whatever fuzzing you use seems to break with the word "socialism," instead returning social media and socializing stories.

Interesting project though.
This aligns with my experience working at IBM. I knew Vodafone was a big customer, but I found the extent of that relationship peculiar; in presentations given by senior engineers it came across that IBM seemed to running the core parts of their network. That can sometimes mean Vodafone engineers are barely allowed to touch anything without an IBM contractor on site. It got me thinking; who and what is really running these telecom networks and are they not much more than a branding exercise.
> Most flathub apps have "access to all your information" one way or another.

I went thought some of the Flatpak applications I commonly use, and none of them had access to all my information. I'm not going to go through all of them, but this suggests that the quoted statement isn't true.

I stand by my original statement that Flatpak is the only system that tries to address this. The fact that you're suggesting two separate technologies in combination confirms this, in my opinion.
Right it looks like 10 months ago it was an actual account, and either got hacked to karma-farm(?) or author decided to use as a throwaway test.

Do you have any evidence that they were, in fact, created from USD? Given the strong incentives to produce such evidence and the complete lack of it I am highly skeptical.
Zfs has great support for snapshots (as mentioned by others) and built-in support for encryption. In addition it handles various types of device management/raid.

Windows/ntfs has (not as good) volume management (dynamic disks) and encryption (bitlocker). But nothing like the snapshot functionality.

In addition to "regular" backups - zfs snapshots can be used in order to present historic data alongside current state.

For any new Linux (or bsd) distribution - I think you really need a special reason not to use zfs.

There's even drivers for windows, macos, bsd - so it's possible to share disks/external drives with a sane fs with encryption support between installations (not sure how stable windows/macos is though).

For dragonfly bsd, they have their own hammer fs with clustering features. For older Linux distros, xfs is well proven tech. And "ext" is of course "standard".

I still believe zfs should be the default for new desktop/server installs.

The one drawback might be memory requirements on embedded systems.
It's probably because they haven't paid attention to software rendering.
Many people don't seem to appreciate how well most popular UI toolkits work if your GPU drivers are incomplete or missing. (or if you just don't have hardware that supports modern OpenGL APIs.)

This, among other more Googly reasons, is why I'm personally not a flutter fan. It's not like there aren't other decent cross platform UI toolkits anyway.
imagine hiring a thousand people to do the work while engineering is figuring out how to make them redundant, eventually. not every problem needs a technical AI solution. if people need to be a part of the process, so be it. just don't pretend it's too difficult because somehow the scale of the problem on other platforms simply doesn't compare.
Tried it, found it unresponsive, unpleasant first-time user experience.

Won't do.
There is the fallacy that "real" markets are somehow super-efficient in moving peoples money exactly where they need to go to achieve tangible effect. This is just a myth, however in the crypto ecosystem it becomes entirely transparent. There's probably a lot more than $1T worth of money which is allocated randomly in regulated markets (i.e. gambling money). Part of this is moving to crypto because it's easier to handle.
