Oh, for goodness' sake. You are ill-informed. Your own President, as well as his predecessor, have both spoken publicly about the marvels of Capitalism. Are they both Marxists? Was it their marxist indoctrination that made them think Capitalism is a thing?
I would think that true digital hiding requires a good bit of misdirection. If you go completely off the grid, then you leave a hole where a person should be. But if you have a legitimate house, credit card, phone, facebook account, etc. then you have plausible deniability when it comes to hiding.

The person looking into you might shrug and be like, "this is all we have on them."

The large amounts you read about by big companies can hardly be matched my small companies. And rarely reflects the damage it could cause. Our maximum amount is US$1000 currently. We (https://opencagedata.com/security-bounty) get regular reports where high or critical severity is claimed but maybe that's only to get our attention. No report so far justified the full amount. We learned what is much appreciated is fast payout.

In https://blog.assetnote.io/2020/09/15/hacking-on-bug-bounties... you see 'full account takeover' listed as US$300 and 'Critical issues on [redacted] (database credentials, entire application source code leaked and SQLi)' at US$800.
Files will only be returned for accounts that have been active installs for some time already, and only probabilistically in low percentages based on phone number sharding. We have a few different versions of files that we think are aesthetically pleasing, and will iterate through those slowly over time.

Pretty sure it's the former, since the above is a way to ensure that Cellebrite can't just gather all implied exploit files and make sure they've got those specific problems all patched. This is, quite literally, an informational attempt at guerilla/asymmetric warfare, where Signal is trying to make engaging with them too costly, while also making a few blows quite a bit above their weight level. Cellebrite now has to decide whether to keep after this adversary that both is hard to pin down, ambushes them, and has shown it can hit them really hard where it matters (credibility, and thus their pocket book).

I think this is naive as there is no version of this in the forseeable future that wont allow a court to unwind or reassign the physical rights. You'd be left with a DAO that forwarded a percentage of 0.
I had the same problem with a car insurance company and my birth date (was off by a year). I ended up navigating the call labyrinth ("It's mm/dd/yyyy but I think you have yyyy-1... ok, I'll hold") just enough to cancel the policy.
My co-founder and I came up with the idea for Utradea about a year ago when we realized that we loved discussing our investment/stock ideas and process. This expanded within our friend group, at least to people who were interested in the stock market.

We thought it would be great to have a platform where we could have social interactions and combine it with core investment information/data. We didn’t like having to use multiple websites to connect all the pieces of information needed to make investment decisions. There are some sites out there that focus on providing investment information (Seeking Alpha), and other that focus more on the social interaction of investing (StockTwits).

Utradea is a social platform for investment ideas and insights. It is built around the concept that people enjoy sharing and discussing investment ideas. We built the usual social media functions (comments, chat, like a post, etc.) and included important investment data, charts, and a portfolio to help you track your investments.

Thanks for checking it out!
Users who break the site guidelines around political flamewar always feel like we ban them for their politics. Actually we just ban people for breaking the guidelines. "You ban me for criticizing $X" can have $X = "socialism", "capitalism", or anything else. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26148870 for dozens of examples.

We don't care what your favorite flavor of politics is any more than your favorite ice cream. Actually your favorite ice cream would be more interesting, because it gets discussed less. The tedium of these internet battles cannot be overstated.
Why would someone want to own a home?

1. Tap into an ever-rising, yet completely safe investment asset with massive leverage.

2. You can get more space owning than you can renting.

3. You have more certainty (can't be evicted, etc)

4. You enjoy home improvement as a weekend hobby.

1, 2 and 3 are ponzinomics.

1. This is obvious, and the main factor. It is only true because of the artificially constrained housing supply. Without this artificial scarcity, housing wouldn't increase in price any more than copper or pork bellies. Spending all of your net worth and going deep into debt to invest in a single pig farm would be considered very foolish and undiversified. Investing in a single housing property would be the same without the artificial market distortion. Existing homeowners have created this market distortion by pushing through ever-tighter zoning regulations at the local level. They are always ranting about conspiracies of "landlords" and "developers". Businesses that increase the housing supply are their natural enemy.

2. This is related to the factor above. You can't really get more space buying than renting, you just feel that it is safer to spend a large portion of your income on a mortgage since it's such a "safe investment".

3. Eviction wouldn't be an issue in a market with sufficient supply. Your rent wouldn't go up any faster than inflation, and might even go down. A landlord wouldn't want to evict you any more than a business would want lose you as a customer.

4. I guess I will have to concede that renting is a worse option for hobbyist carpenters.
Deregulation hand in hand with allowing things to fail is the answer. The issue here is the constant bailouts. We live in a fake economy.
I am hopefully going to finally commit suicide shortly. After the incident where google gaslighted me about the suicide of a childhood friend (and the nalo public utils duff incident later that month), I gave away my million dollar retirement and went homeless in preparation for suicide. I am hoping to be dead by end of this month finally. My life has been totally dismantled (and my rep is destroyed anyway), precisely so I could investigate and disclose this form of malice that I've experienced for decades.

I'll put all of my documented experiences on my memorial. I've been tracking this issue of malicious creepiness with american web properties for decades. This incident with google is hardly the first.

I am 99.999% sure google engaged in intentional malice here. I'd rather fucking DIE than exist on a scumbag ape planet where a trillion dollar corp has disinterested/neutral outsiders supporting their scumbag cybergaslighting garbage, because who would believe @googleai would possibly engage in a malicious psyop on an American citizen.

> Further, research that involves deception is also considered a perfectly valid form of research in certain fields

The type of deception that is allowable in such cases is lying to participants about what it is that is being studied, such as telling people that they are taking a knowledge quiz when you are actually testing their reaction time.

Allowable deception does not include invading the space of people who did not consent to be studied under false pretenses.
Look at the list I provided. There are dozens and dozens of successful cases and a handful of failed ones.

The failed ones are recent which means the outcome has the potential to change in time.

Would an 80% success rate over the last hundred years change your perspective?
This seems quite interesting and powerful for what most server-side rendered websites need from javascript, however the _usage_ seems fairly klunky to me at this stage.

I could see this being a joy to work with though if a well determined usage pattern emerges where you have something like a `some_page_template.html` file open next to a `some_page_hyperscript.hy` where you define all the locally scoped functionality and the two are combined by your webserver template engine.

It wouldn't be very hard to set up, but having a de-facto way to structure and organize things it would likely help with adoption and prevent new users from being architechture astronauts.
> Renewable power generation from wind and solar has a much higher ratio of wasted power because they have such high variability in output. Because of this, in cases where the power generally can't be cost effectively stored or supplemented (by dynamic increase of dirtier energy), wind and solar simply won't be built in favor of coal plants. Bitcoin mining can use this wasted energy, which increases the revenue that can be generated by renewable sources, thus making it more likely that areas will choose renewable over coal.

So you think that cities will just put up with the increasing power outages, until the miners will give up in that region? That the normal public won't form a mob asking for more power in the night, which will attract more miners, thus making the whole point moot?

That looks like a weird gamble to make

> Bitcoin mining is a fixed quantity: so the more mining done using renewable energy, the less will be done with coal power (so when SamBam mocked this paper by saying "If we double the amount of electricity used on the planet, people will need to spend more on solar panels!" He completely didn't understand the zero sum aspect of bitcoin mining).

no, bitcoin has a fixed max of coin, but we already are at the point where the only limit is how to get the hardware to mine. There is no limit on mining.

Sure, it will shift more towards cheap power. But that needs to be also continuous. So bitcoin will drive the adoption of more continuous power, because if you do not do it, cities power will be a collateral damage more and more often.

> In fact, this has a more pronounced effect because players in the market who aren't as efficient can see their margins decrease below the point of profitablity. Since otherwise wasted electricity is cheapest, more and more bitcoin mining will be done using it, which means less and less will be done using usable electricity.

All this talk about using "waste" electricity is only relevant if your system never goes above max usage, thus causing power outages. That is already not true, and it's not like the power companies allocate only the "waste" electricity to bitcoin. Nobody stops mining when the power plant is near capacity. You just generate more pressure to add more power plants that give continuous power (so: not solar).

We have "waste" electricity because the system is designed to handle peaks and other plants going down.

Mining is eating away all the safety margin on the system. the more there is, the more it will eat
There are a lot of things that are "ubiquitous" but I still wouldn't voluntarily use. Between this thread and the YouTube one today, and countless other ones in the recent past, there seem to be a growing number of "Xyz app is bad, but I won't stop using it" threads lately. I mean, talk about being part of the problem and not part of the solution. Whatever happened to "Be the change you want to see in the world?"

The 100% figure was specific to the "in the Phase 3 trials" tidbit I left in my post.

Apologies if that was unclear. With only 30,000 people or 40,000 people in the phase 3 trial, its impossible to differentiate between 99.99% and 100%. We can only see how far above 99.99% we've gotten by deploying to the public.
Leicester, Wigan, Portsmouth?

It's not about the winning either. The romantacism of being able to win, when Bradford knocked out Chelsea in 2015, when Oldham beat Liverpool, fighting for 5th/6th place in the premier, or fighting to avoid relegation, this is the essence of football, where everyone, no matter what their team, can support their team and have those dreams.
> There's really nothing to gain from nay-saying a new space like this, tbh.

Dismissing a new technology is not helpful. But I think it's valuable for people that understand the tech to debunk proposed uses of technology that are not things the tech actually does. This is closer to how I see the article.

In what I see as the current big 3 - quantum computing, AI, and blockchain - there is a parallel imaginary business world claiming things they can do that at best are misunderstandings and at worst are effectively scams to get consulting money. People who understood what the tech is actually doing should not shy away from clarifying what it does and make it harder for the snake oil salesmen to do their thing.
Very unethical and extremely inconsiderate of the maintainers time to say the least.
Yeah, the headline isn't a conclusion that can be drawn from the study, and is guaranteed to mislead most people who come across it. Shame.
I view NFTs as enabling "digital collectibles". NFTs for art is an extension of the fact that there have been art collectors for ages. There _are_ book collectors, but that's a tiny subset of publishing.

For authors who regularly publish short fiction, I'd imagine the patronage model (Patreon) to be a bigger deal than NFTs. Maybe it's a lack of vision, but I just don't see a lot of people wanting to be able to claim "I own the first edition of Story X by Author Y."
This is utterly insane, ban private companies from being allowed to harvest and sell this data. Why do we think targeting ads to pregnant women is a more legitimate use than hunting terrorists to the point where the former is ignored and the latter is banned?

Only if that information is completely contained in the blockchain, and even then only in a de-facto way.
> that is unbelievably slow, inefficient, and makes it impossible to fix bugs

I don't dispute that. The real innovation lies in the decentralization. Unfortunately, decentralization is threatened by centralized mining operations who resist changes to the network such as migration to proof of stake. Bitcoin also suffers from the same problem with miners effectively controlling the protocol and as a result the coin has remained static for a long time.

Monero seems to be having success avoiding the influence of miners. They adopted ASIC and GPU resistant algorithms which makes it viable to mine XMR on normal CPUs, allowing more people to participate and as a result making the coin more decentralized.
Very interesting -- especially the fact that CBL-Mariner (Microsoft's internal linux distro) is used to plumb X11/Wayland apps across to a Windows-based RDP client. The complexity involved is a little unreal to behold[0].

I wonder - is Microsoft truly committed to this path of building Linux support into Windows for the long term? Have they considered building an MS Linux distro with support for Windows apps? Perhaps by embedding the actual Win32 COM server, which would function like the COM server in WINE but be multi-threaded.

I'm not a Windows guy, but I'd be sorely tempted to switch from MacOS if Microsoft released a fully-supported Linux distro (with or without Win32 support).

Not an expert. But if you're fully refreshed I think you're fine. Many people would take it, that's for sure. Research is useful. But nothing is more useful than listening to your own body. When something is wrong there are usually signs.

> I think the industry is strangely blind to the consequences of this

Well, I think if you're not blind to those things to some degree, you're stuck forever in a best-practices search, which I feel like more often than not ends up implying you have to rewrite your stack.

For example, I do most of my development thru Hasura now. It writes insanely performant SQL queries translated directly from GraphQL. As a data consumer, you only have to worry about the shape of the data you want, and none of the implementation details. There is one endpoint, and you pass it queries against the schema it exposes. Implementation details are abstracted heavily here, but in a "good" separation of concerns way.

I will never hand-write SQL again. Why would I? My front-ends can load everything in my data model expressively and with type safety thanks to graphql-codegen.

Now imagine you read this and realize you work in a completely different method and this answers some of your problems. You may start parallel development, but you certainly can't stop forward progress just to evaluate your stack. So I think the blinders are key to progressing in the short term despite the productivity losses you're taking in the long term, and then when you phrase it like this it is surely no surprise companies behave like that.
“Yet prices keep going up and inflation remains low” <- this is logically impossible.

Also, fiat currencies can fluctuate against each other and still go down as a group. The Dollar can get “stronger” by losing value slower than other currencies. From a straight-forward point of view, wealth is denominated in dollars. But in reality, it’s denominated in value, in good things you can buy.

By this definion, we’re all richer than Crassus in some ways, affording things like global connectivity and vaccines with ease. In land, gold, and influence old Crassus was still in a league of his own, however.
Natural-language programming comes up from time to time and it rarely sticks around.

For myself, I can't parse them without my brain trying to read it as actual English. Having programming languages look distinctly different from human communication keeps my mental overhead low. I find Applescript impossible to use.

NLP also has a major issue with rapid comprehension. It's far harder to see the structure of code at a glance if everything is just keywords. While this is an issue with every type of communication, NLP has a significantly lower upper limit to almost every other language I work in. SQL is a middle ground. If you format it properly, it's really easy to scan and see what's happening. Applescript? Not so much.
I bet the tool was bought from a supplier but Signal team can't disclose it because source protection.
You're not being genuine if you are trying to argue that the coverage of liberals on Wikipedia is the same as conservatives.

Possibly you don't notice the biases because you agree with them, but it's there.

There's a reason why there's a Conservapedia.

https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Examples_of_Bi...

This situation pretty much reflects the state of all outlets, there's few if any places with no bias, you have to cross reference sources with each other and decide for yourself, especially for politically charged topics.

Wikipedia cannot be trusted by itself because they usually do not allow right leaning sources or edits even if they are factually correct. They are very lenient to liberal sources even if they are blatantly false.

- edit: replying to the commenter below -

I did not say Conservapedia is the arbiter of truth or a non-bias source.

This is where their religious biases show, at least they are honest about it in the naming and function of their site.

The problem with Wikipedia is they masquerade as a bias-free collection of sources, which is false.
I feel like this is a perfect example of a use case we WANT blockchain/smart contracts to solve... but it won't, because there are ultimately many other ways around it.
Yeah, but that has nothing to do with the European Super League proposal which incorporated none of that.

And I doubt you'd get those kinds of rules and still have pro/rel. Ultimately investors don't want that fair of a playing field. And pro/rel in Europe is brilliant if you get past the very top of the table. If all you care about is "who wins the league/cup" every year it may become boring, but the best games in the UK can be the lower league playoffs to see who goes up. There's a constant refreshment of new teams getting promoted which changes the league every year.
The Unwritten Laws of Systems Engineering
Worrying about sleeping enough is certainly more detrimental to one’s health and well-being than getting too little sleep.
The DAO is the distributer of the intellectual property. The DAO receives payments directly from the customer and redistributes the revenue.

But sure, a company as big as Disney could setup an alternative distribution system and market it. So presumably a DAO for publishing would not be too effective if it represented only a single publication. But if you had a DAO that distributed a large number of works, then it would get progressively harder and harder for any single company to subvert it.
Let us be honest about this for once. There are no USA sports. Just ads that happen to have a sport segment.

The biggest sporting event in the US sport calendar year is known - not for the crunching tackles, not for the high flying antics, not for the pin in the needle plays...no sir - it is known for ads. Superbowl ads are bigger than the sport. When I was younger I though Superbowl meant ad marathons.
