>Conversely, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum have decentralized the process of issuing and managing a currency. But while the operations of such currencies, based on blockchains, have been fully decentralized, the trust graph of these cryptocurrencies have remained entirely centralized. Everyone need to trust Bitcoin to transact in Bitcoin, and everyone needs to trust Ethereum to transact in Ethereum or assets issued on the Ethereum blockchain. The centralized nature of the trust involved in these cryptocurrencies being actually at the core of how these currencies operate, as the only viable way to properly incentivize a proof-of-work system.

I don't think it's useful to equivocate the trust one places in an open decentralized system with the trust someone puts in a custodian of their money to not run off with it. That's like equivocating trusting end-to-end encryption to keep your messages secure with trusting Facebook to keep your messages secure. Sure, in both cases there's a risk, but one is based on your understanding of an open system, and the other is based on a guess that the custodian you're trusting your data to won't expose it by choice or accident. Just because the word "trust" can be used for both doesn't mean there aren't significant differences between them.

I think the system described is interesting, but for regular human commerce purposes, I think the downsides of it (managing IOUs from many different parties, needing to have a trust-path between users that could steal from you, needing to keep a node online always or trust your money to someone else who does so) make it less useful than cryptocurrencies. Having a common currency between many different parties is much easier to work with than trying to figure out a workable way to value IOUs from many different parties. Needing an established trust-path between users seems like a large obstacle in the internet age where I might suddenly want to transact with anyone on the planet.

The scalability of this system seems interesting, but I think the scalability upgrades that cryptocurrency is getting from sharding and rollups will make cryptocurrency more than scalable enough for human commerce purposes. I wonder if details of this system would be more useful in some kind of scenario of machine swarms bartering with each other, maybe in a situation where a common currency specifically doesn't make sense and is undesirable, or where there's no reasonable-latency access to the common blockchain because of the isolation of the network. Or maybe there's a technique here that's useful for cross-currency or cross-blockchain transactions.
It would be useful for the Earth Federation to come home from Side 7 (cislunar) after Zeon declares war, but too much trouble closer to home.
Because of price fixing among the 3 big insulin providers, which is only possible in an environment where competition is heavily constrained by monopoly powers (or in this case, oligopoly powers) endowed by governments through the patent system.

If we have an international free market that encourages 10+ competitors that aren't banned from producing insulin due to patents, then price fixing becomes impossible.

So if government just got out of the way (in this case - patents and banning imports), you could import cheap insulin from anywhere and the problem would be completely solved.

Perhaps but if you’re paying you probably want it to be credible (the article describes vendors coaching people on what kind of reviews to write). I find it pretty plausible that people writing “bought it as a gift, haven’t gotten it yet!” kind of reviews are probably genuine.
As for the high levels of violent crime feeding in to this system, I would like to evangelize the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence_Reduction_Unit

A lot of people, especially Americans, like to think of Americans as a uniquely violent people, but this is really a systemic and cultural problem as well as a failing of individuals. People used to think of Glasgow as uniquely violent but that problem has been greatly reduced thanks to the VRU.
> put the right not to be charged with a victimless crime in a constitutional amendment.

Unfortunately the only way this would happen is over a lot of dead bodies or if you spend three generations boiling the frog.

People are too addicted to using overt state violence (as opposed to obfuscated state violence, i.e. fines) to prevent people from engaging in behavior they don't like or risky but not guaranteed harmful behavior. The idea that you could get a DUI or sell heroin and as long as nobody gets hurt the max penalty would be a fine, community service, etc. etc. is just unacceptable to them (despite that being the typical end result in those cases assuming the person charged lawyers up). You can already see this in the comments.

I feel like potential to put others at risk would void protection under the amendment. I don’t think it would have to be 100% perfect, just better than we are doing now while avoiding false positives.

Anyways, I feel like we have courts to interpret these things. The existing amendments are interpreted in a variety of convoluted ways depending on the scenario.
Exactly - currently if you want to use Facebook (because your whole family and friends are on it) you have to give up your personal data and there is no other way for you to pay for the service. There should also be an option to pay with other means than personal data.
Well, in a country with socialised medicine, which the U.S. is going to become under Biden as it seems, not wearing a seatbelt or consuming drugs will not be victimless anymore.
The text of the 13th Amendment: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Except as a punishment for crime. America never abolished slavery, we just made up crimes that disproportionately affect people of color and then use them for free labor. We don't sell their offspring like chattel, we just convict them of the same crimes. Private prisons shouldn't exist and prison labor should be fairly compensated.

Boiling the cause down to a formula like the article does is an incredibly superficial analysis, there's no examination or even curiosity about why any part of the equation is the way it is.
The only thing weirder than Americans and religion is Americans and racism.

This is covered in detail in the article. To me the smoking gun in this article is the linked video of Daszak saying "we have now found... over 100 new SARS-related coronaviruses, very close to SARS...some of them get into human cells in the lab, some of them can cause SARS disease in humanized mice models...these are a clear and present danger". I've been aware of this for many months after reading this tweet [1] which says essentially the same thing.

Don't get me wrong. It's a beautiful game, but I guess I have a completely different understanding of RPGs. Leveling up building up different skills, magic, builds, etc. that are actually necessary to be able to advance to the next stage of the game is my understanding. In the case of NieR you can play through the entire game start to finish with your initial weapon set and drone and it would be fine.

And yes, you still assume a characters narrative in this case and you still have to level. Technically yes it is, but then again, I guess our understanding of what used to be RPGs has changed massively over the recent past I would say.

EDIT: Just googling around a bit it seems like the correct definition seems to be open world action adventure with RPG elements.
> If you feel the need to emulate C++ features in C then you're just writing C code with a C++ mindset.

So you need a C++ mindset to have a use for a dynamic array, a hash table, threads or namespaces, all cross platform? (Yes windows is a platform too)

I've used ReviewMeta as well, however I find the issue is that almost every product has suspicious reviews. If the average rating was 4.8 on Amazon, RM might lower it to 4.3 but they would also do the same for competing products.

I guess maybe I'm lucky in that I've never considered a product with blatantly fake reviews, however I also recognize that in order to compete even legitimate companies need to "play the game".
It's fascinating to me that everywhere that I've traveled and lived in South America (including Colombia), people seem to have this narrative about the locals that they'll "just shoot you and go through your pockets after." I've not seen any evidence that it's based in anything except media-cultivated fear of their own culture. I'm not used to hearing it said about the US, but with the constant pushes here to keep us afraid and willing to give up civil liberties, it makes sense that I'd run into it one day.
Lets chalk it up to different corporate cultures then. Copybooks around here have so much redefines that the smallest mistake causes data corruption. Also, theres not a week going by without someone running out of numbers.
Blocked Drain
Blocked drain specialist is how we describe ourselves. However, we are much more than just guys opening drains the whole day long. Daily we are faced with complicated drain systems and different technologies, we must rely on many years of experience to do what we do daily. A blocked drain is normally attributed to various issues. If your sewer line is blocked, you will be able to identify it by the fact that water is pushing up from your gullies. If it is not your gullies you might see water and toilet paper flowing from an inspection eye on your property. Normally a blocked drain also has an odor of sewerage.

With regard to several of these I feel like a big component is the destruction of community. We used to deal with many petty crimes personally. If Jimmy stole your bike you used to just go to Jimmy’s house and get it back, maybe beat him up, and that was it. Bar fights and the like just resulted in a black eye and getting thrown out. Now we don’t even know our neighbors names and that lack of familiarity tends to lead to impersonal/state/police type responses. Now if Jimmy steals your bike and you go get it back and beat him up you’re the one going to jail instead of Jimmy.

Honestly the more appealing aspect than the "await $`cmd`" syntax is that it imports a bunch of handy libs by default.

For some reason there's just something that rubs me the wrong way about having a bunch of requires at the top of a bash script (or cluttering my package.json with handy tools I use once in a script). But you're gonna want things like (promisified) fs, os, chalk, readline, node-fetch, etc quite a lot of the time.

Definitely wish they'd included shelljs though; almost strange not to.

I hope they add (or already have) syntax highlighting as .mjs without the file extension (just the shebang) for GitHub, VSCode, etc.

It's technically possible to create a wayland compositor without GL/GLES/Vulkan, but only SHM clients will work, unless you go with mixed approach which wouldn't be zero-copy. (Or of course you could also use llvmpipe or something to do software emulation of GL, but that will be very slow and ineffective). I'm not aware of any such wayland compositor however.
What bothers me about it is not only did it take a long time for the “truth to win”, but mainstream media orgs actively suppressed it because of tribal stupidity.

It was used as an example of “fake news”: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/02/technology/biden-reality-...

> “ Hoaxes, lies and collective delusions aren’t new, but the extent to which millions of Americans have embraced them may be. Thirty percent of Republicans have a favorable view of QAnon, according to a recent YouGov poll. According to other polls, more than 70 percent of Republicans believe Mr. Trump legitimately won the election, and 40 percent of Americans — including plenty of Democrats — believe the baseless theory that Covid-19 was manufactured in a Chinese lab.”

What makes my blood boil about this is the NYT is supposed to be able to tell the difference - this kind of self righteous stupidity explains the rise of trump and distrust of media orgs more than anything else, it’s what lays the groundwork for baseless conspiracy.

Yes there were dumb conspiracies about a manufactured and intentionally released bio weapon, but the accidental release from the lab that actually exists and studies these exact viruses in Wuhan and the additional context of the lies from the CCP about the Pangolin (and just general suspicious blocking of access) made it a reasonable hypothesis.

What irony that in a piece pushing support for a “reality czar” (presumably to censor certain stories?) is the position of the NYT so divorced from reality itself.

Pair this with the WHO rep being afraid to say the word Taiwan and it looks bad there too: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-who-ta...

In a lot of ways it feels like the west is under constant attack from disinformation and self-inflicted censorship (movies, Apple, nba, etc. all afraid to be critical of the CCP) and doesn’t even realize what’s going on. I think the CCP understands what they’re doing.

This is an ideological war, we’re already under attack, and the west is losing. The CCP (and Russia to a lesser extent) understand where our vulnerabilities lie and they’re exploiting them.

Edit: Whenever this comment reaches +1 it’s quickly downvoted to -2, dang - if you see this do you have a way to tell if this is legitimate (users behaving as they wish to) or something else? I only consistently see this behavior on comments that mention the CCP.

This equation doesn't take into account,

* false convictions

* concurrent sentences

* parole

* time off for good behavior

* remand (detention without conviction)

and probably other factors I couldn't think of off the top of my head.

Unless your just lumping all these factors "prison sentence length" in which case the equation doesn't seem useful.
I wish SyncThing was more userfriendly or something. I've tried it on different Android phones and computers and have never gotten it to work.
> contrary to what they blowhard they response time to keys is very large

They state explicitly on their README that they're measuring throughput, not latency. Besides that, all three of your complaints are true as far as I'm aware, and they are major dealbreakers.
so the process, iirc, is:

* Court order to change name (I've done this, but decided I didn't like the name so I need to do it again.)

* Send form to change sex on driver's license (did this.)

* Go in person to DMV to update name and get new photo (haven't done this because pandemic.)

* Update gender and name on passport (requires attestation from doctor, copy of court order, previous passport and current ID, if passport is expired) (haven't done this.)

* Update gender and name on social security card (requires updated passport.)

* Update name on bank (requires updated social security card)

And to change sex on birth certificate, according to the rules of my state:

* Get endorsements from therapist and psychiatrist for vaginoplasty.

* Get vaginoplasty.

* Doctor attests to the state that you have a vagina now.

* Original birth certificate, attestation and passport -> updated birth certificate.

The last step isn't super necessary unless you're emigrating to another country.

Not necessarily disagreeing, but if you don't have the means to pay for your own healthcare, both of those actions have a downside risk that creates a victim out of your entire community.
