stuff like that happened at my high school, and not that long ago. do you not believe that kind of thing happens/happened, or do you just not believe that "nerds" can be the perpetrators?

these kinds of events can fly under the radar if you aren't involved. I only know of the situation I'm thinking of because the girl found out and complained to the school, which ended up expelling the others involved.

Proof of work is no different in this regard: more capital, more mining power, more control.
Miners interests don't always align with the network's users interests (see gas fees).
Proof of work isn't more decentralized either (a few mining pool delegators control bitcoin), eth2 proof of stake is more secure because of the pseudorandom validator selection.
Backups are no longer a cure-all. Because now the attackers threaten to publish the data.
Frequently, political conversations are personal. When you're debating about whether or not you should be allowed to vote, or whether you should be deprived of money or other rights, it's difficult to simply come away saying "I enjoyed the conversation".

Political conversations are more likely to be fun when they're discussing abstractions. But they can have real effects in a way that few other disputes can. Even though the absolute power of one vote is very small, it's not enjoyable to be told "I'm going to put my small amount of power to making your life worse."
And if the cardinality of a is low, it can even be an index for b! This is called “skip scan”.

Oracle has supported this for a long time, and apparently newer versions of MySQL as well.
I'm a software engineer, and I'm probably at least in the 90th percentile for ability to manage (or design not to have) edge cases. I try not to be that pedantic when criticizing coworker's designs, other than perhaps pointing out that lots of edge cases in a design is a common symptom of over-complexity.

On this particular topic, I particularly hate the amount of fossil fuels getting burned on cryptocurrency. I'm less concerned about the amount of energy getting "wasted" on data centers in general. At least in most cases, there's alignment of interests when it comes to efficiency optimization. Facebook has an incentive to make their servers more power efficient over time, and scale their capacity to the size of their customer base. With proof-of-work, there's also incentive to increase power efficiency, but also incentive to scale up to capacity limits.

I think it is possible that proof-of-work cryptocurrency algorithms could be tuned to the point of striking a sustainable balance long term, but that would require the world economy to converge on one or two of them. The issue with that I think is the speculative nature of the currency's distribution of ownership. With large portions of the currency being held by a small number of anonymous people, and no clear path for the majority of normal folk to exchange their wealth, it's just not going to happen without some sort of societal collapse. I also struggle to have faith in a system meant to disrupt the global economy when its existence depends on global scale internet infrastructure.
The UN doesn't actually have any power though. Even if all the UN members agree to sanction countries that don't implement the tax there are countries like North Korea and Iran that are already fully sanctioned. These countries would immediately take full advantage of the comparative advantage given to them. PoW mining for example would end up being completely centralized in these countries.

Biased in what way?
I was just on the phone with them before see your message.

So apparently Coinbase reported my 1099k as having an income of $99,xxx.00

Before this, I had no idea what a 1099k is, actually. I'm a salaried employee who receives w2.

Apparently I was supposed to file a schedule C for my cost basis, which I don't believe I did.
I filed form 8949 instead.

I have a CSV of my trades from Coinbase as the cost-basis. I'm not sure if that is legitimate enough. I'm not sure Coinbase keeps records back to 2017....

The agent told me that the next steps are to receive the documents related to the audit and file an amended tax form with schedule C.

Indeed. The majority of Palestinian Christians left due to their ethnic cleansing by Israel in 1948.

It's not Hamas that destroyed a Christian church and orphanage a week ago. It was an Israeli bomb.

There were two or three attacks of Christians in Palestine by Muslims, however them being religiously motivated is doubtful and the perpetrators were condemned and prosecuted by everyone, even Hamas.

The vast majority of persecution of Christians in Palestine for their religion was by Jewish extremists, overwhelmingly. Let alone ethnic persecution of Christians.
> I don't think there's any plan to deprecate the previous standard (WebGL) that came out around 10 years ago

There's basically zero uncertainty around this. It would break the internet. As you probably know it's extremely difficult to make even tiny backwards-incompatible changes to features that have become web standards and have been implemented on all major browsers.
Introduction to Durable Objects here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-workers-durable-obje...

It has since gone into open beta.

> some thing only work with the "Module syntax" but every single example is written with the "addEventListener syntax"

The new modules syntax is still beta -- it'll eventually be the official recommendation for all Workers, but we're not there yet. But it is indeed required for Durable Objects, which is also beta, because we didn't want to come up with an old-style syntax for Durable Objects that would just be deprecated immediately anyway. It does unfortunately leave things in a confusing state at the moment, but it should get better soon.
Globally, very few people have gaming GPUs. You're super-privileged and you're effectively arguing for locking in your privilege and making the other 90% of the world worse off. PoS puts everyone on an equal footing. You want to stake? Buy in.
Well, I'll believe it when they actually release it. Product announcements made at Google I/O have an astonishing way of just … fizzling out.
I don't believe the project has the goal of eliminating lawyers in the world. The goal, I think, is to produce semi customized contracts from modular and parameterized components without lawyers. Lawyers today build up a cache of legal documents that they stingily dole out to clients who pay. Most often these documents are poorly written, often being copied from older documents passed down to them from older wiza... I mean lawyers, and then extended primarily by slapping on provisions and enumerations as they come up or are thought of.

If instead we had a standard library of contract components that could be composed in verifiably compatible ways, that would be a huge achievement. I think that's what legalese is doing.
> If a building is used for warfare, it is not civilian building.

Citation needed! Show that all the buildings Israel has bombed were being used for warfare.
It is very different: The difference is that PoW is censorship resistant. Anybody can be a miner and existing miners cannot censor new miners. Performing new work is external to the network state. In PoS, existing stakers can prevent new stakers from registering. Very important distinction.

Please read up on UASF and Bitcoin. People can buy tons of mining factories, but if a very large amount of nodes start rejecting blocks and therefore the rewards, miners start to rethink their stance very fast. There is no discussion here, history proves it.
I've been to more shows than I can count in Brooklyn and never in my life have I seen someone with a tablet/iPad.

I'm sure someone has done it somewhere... but it's not a problem that exists at any meaningful scale, as far as I'm aware.

I was referring to the people who criticize the recording people do from their phones.
>This happens all the time with unorthodox ideas, you can be right but if the mainstream doesn't shift in your favor before too long, you get ignored, discredited, or worse. I'd argue this is a bigger problem now,

If I'm understanding you correctly, he doesn't miss this. He addresses it directly and comes to the opposite conclusion.

> The good news is that your fierceness will be a great help in solving difficult problems. And not just the kind of scientific and technical problems that nerds have traditionally solved. As the world progresses, the number of things you can win at by getting the right answer increases. Recently getting rich became one of them: 7 of the 8 richest people in America are now fierce nerds....In the past century we've seen a continuous transfer of power from dealmakers to technicians — from the charismatic to the competent — and I don't see anything on the horizon that will end it.

Im sure all of us see ourselves in this essay, in part because it's ego catnip. But this part resonated very strongly with me. I was in my early 20s when I realized how crucial it was for me to work somewhere where my work was measured as objectively as possible, which has finally led me to hone in on small/mid-sized co applied research[1] as the path that fits me.

It's definitely my perception that the world supports this more now than it ever used to. You can't ignore people skills entirely, but the path to success through technical work instead of management has never been better (eg the IC ladder at my co easily goes up to $1M/yr).

> Popular but wrong ideas, once they have "network effects" are much stickier than they once were. All this is tougher on the contrarian, or "fierce nerd".

I'm not convinced that this is __worse_ than it once was. There's too much heterodoxy, too much pluralism, too low barriers to entry, and too much opportunity for the quiet dissenter to build their niche and wait out the irrationality longer than they could ever have dreamed in the world of 50 or even 20 years ago.

[1] driven by well-defined problems instead of product people's beliefs about the market, or the politics and bureaucracy of academia. It's actually been very useful ground for me to practice my political skills, since the impact of rubbing people the wrong way while figuring it out is heavily mitigated by the clear and measurable impact of my work.
Is that why it is such a huge hit in Venezuela and other high inflation countries? Because poor people are playing into the hands of the powerful and not because it gives them a stable way to store wealth and trade with people in other countries?

Sorry for my tone, but it rubs me raw when people casually discount the plight of the poor with do-gooder polices that make people's lives even harder, all while ignoring actual evidence.

Mine isn't. Disabling WebGL is DEFINITELY on the checklist for a new browser profile

GPUs are way too complicated, way too opaque, and way too privileged to be safely exposed to the Web. We're not talking about some Web page using your machine to mine crypto here. We're talking about some Web page owning your kernel.

I think the grandparent means banning such payments might remove the incentives to hack in the first place, since a hacker can't expect to make any ransom revenue from a company that obeys such a ban.
All models are wrong, but some are useful.

I have found the MBTI to be useful despite the empirical inaccuracy of the test itself. Even without taking the test, people can self-identify as one (or more) types. This then serves as a meaningful basis for discussion as well as raising awareness that people are deeply different in terms of their ways of thinking. It is quite an eye opener the first time you see someone self-identify as a personality type that is very different to your own.

None of the personality theories are 'proven' of course. We won't get that until we have a fuller understanding of the brain. But it is well accepted within psychology that personality is a thing. And personality types (Big 5, MBTI, etc) are useful models for now despite their shortcomings.

This is a fairly good post with some additional thoughts on the MBTI debate: https://dynomight.net/in-defense-of-myers-briggs.html

You replied to the wrong guy, but I got you :^)

I have no problem with all carbon intensive industries paying for their pollution. I think it would be silly for governments to go around mandating and regulating every little thing that uses energy. Simply tax at the source.

Will that make my power bill go up? Yeah. Will that mean it costs more to fill my tank? Yeah. Whatever. I'm totally fine with that. If it's revenue neutral I'll be getting most of it back on my income taxes anyway. Bonus, this now lets me reduce my carbon footprint and pay less taxes.

TLDR: Want less carbon? Tax carbon!

I don't think the initial "It's a shame more people..." is meant to make people forget about Ethereum. I think it's to signal that not a lot of people know about Algorand, and doesn't anything about other projects.

Since you seem to indicate that you know what you're talking about, care enough to make a proper argument? You say Ethereum is more decentralized, secure and better tooling, but you never actually make a cohesive argument, only giving a list of "reasons" without any backing. I'm mostly interested in why you think Ethereum is "more secure" than Algorand, and what threat model are you considering here even?

> Algorand is powered by and centralized around team-run nodes

Hm, I run a Algorand node but I don't work for the Algorand team. What do you mean that Algorand is run by team-run nodes really? How do you even know which node belongs to who in the first place?
Several sets of unknown on an infinite universe, so we know know nothing.

However thanks to speed of light the data set is not infinite, just absurd.

So we know almost nothing.

Given time the expansion of the universe will push all galaxies and stars away from us. The data set will be 1.

We now know everything.

As expansion continues all hydrogen items will eventually break apart.
All life has ended.

Nothing now knows us.
It is all about who is the target audience and what message you are trying to send. What technologies the target company is using? What role they are trying to fill in? Usually, I list technologies and my experience with them. If I actually care about the company/position, I expand on the projects and technologies that matter for the occasion.

I'm saying it doesn't matter which side of the "line" Facebook falls on because we could start with the biggest problems first, then circle back to Facebook when it's top of the list (not a whopping log_10 of at least 2 (!) difference from the current worst offenders, such as BTC).

POW just gives the power to whoever can purchase the most computing power. It also gives control of the network to those directly benefiting from high fees.

> It might work out for you, but maybe the K9 guy is an asshole and the cop wants to make him drag his ass across town for no good reason. Don't be his reason.

You are missing the point by a mile: K9 searches are voluntary. If a cop feels they have a reason to arrest you they will just arrest you. If they feel they have enough evidence to search your car they'll just search it.
Load these things on the main website too, so it can be fixed on the first page, not on the checkout page. Some of us train the adblockers (at least locally) by whitelisting exceptions to the default BLOCK EVERYTHING rule / the current rules provided by the shared lists.

Schedule C is for business deductions, are you mining/staking as a business? If so, you'll owe self-employment tax. If not, you probably want to file it as hobby income which is Form 1040 Schedule 1. You can't take deductions from it, but I would be surprised if the deductions offset the aforementioned self-employment tax so as to make Schedule C worth it.
You can't compare the number of stars for different kinds of software.

A large number of open issues means the maintainers can't keep up. 10x more issues mean the problem is worse even if the project has 20x more stars.
Its not really though, if the majority of PoW miners want to omit a certain miners blocks, they can. The protocol dictates that the chain created by the majority of mining power is the canonical one.

In the event that a censored party can create a heavier chain (has >50% of the mining power) then the argument that its more censorship resistant holds, but on the PoS side, you would be betting that not a single participant in the main chain included their new stake registration in their blocks. This is different than the PoW model as non-malicious nodes in PoW can still be part of the main chain. It's definitely not that cut and dry
I’m not convinced that there was “more room for smaller players” in the ‘00s, the mobile switch created a lot of work for small players. The desktop-web atrophied a bit, particularly in areas where FAANG expanded, but the web and IT as a whole continues to grow and create opportunities for small players to emerge.
But Erlang provides something that Kubernetes/Docker/Systemd isolation does not: fine granularity / per request isolated processes. Is the difference between a code bug killing a single call in a VoIP system vs killing an entire OS process with hundreds of them.
> almost every large miner and bitcoin company wanted to change the protocol

If the miners really wanted to change the protocol, they would have done that. The exchanges would have followed, as they had declared that the longest chain would win, and that would be game over.

Instead the miners gave in to the perceived authority of the Core developers, who pinky promised to later raise the block size (which they backed away from).
