>Every wage earner becomes more wealthy as their rate of pay buys more.

You will get wage cuts because it becomes harder to employ you at your currency salary or you just get fired. If you can't find a job, deflation will have made your life a lot worse. You are also incentivized to stick with your first job because future jobs will pay less than past jobs. Basically you hope you build a stash of cash in your 20s because your potential to earn money shrinks with every single year but your wealth gains in value from doing nothing.

We are running into that problem with Bitcoin and land. Do you really think that if you signed a contract to get paid 10 BTC per year in 2017 (when it was $20k) that you will still get 10 BTC today? (at $38k). No, you will get 5 BTC this year.

>Hell, at least half the complaints about the modern economy are the result of inflation

Pretty much all of the complaints about the modern economy are about inadequate attempts to fight off deflation. The Fed has reached a point where it cannot do anything to fight off deflation, it takes a pandemic to fight off deflation, that's how bad the situation is.

Just take a look at Japan, they have deflation and nobody is jealous of their economy.
What else should it be, when nobody tries to put ads relevant to`sed'[1]? Normally, Google would fall back to "put ads for whatever this person is into". But without personalisation, it falls back further to "put ads for whatever the Internet is into". Which appears to tend towards mail-in brides, softcore pornographic games and other sadness.

There's been here a rather good blog post from an engineer actually working on ads on the topic. I think a couple weeks back.

The name 'scamp' has been used by another CPU, National Semiconductor's SC/MP:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Semiconductor_SC/MP

National Semiconductor's INS8060, or SC/MP (pronounced scamp) for Simple Cost-effective Micro Processor, is an early microprocessor which became available in April 1976. A unique feature of the SC/MP is a daisy-chained control pin that allowed up to three SC/MP's share a single main memory to produce a multiprocessor system.

To lower cost, the system used a bit-serial arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and was thus significantly slower than contemporary designs which had parallel ALUs like the Intel 8080 or MOS 6502. Another oddity was that the program counter could only access the lower 12-bits of the 16-bit address, and the upper 4-bits had to be set using special instructions. The result was that instructions accessed main memory as sixteen 4 kB "pages".[a] The combination of slow speed and paged memory limited its attractiveness, especially in the markets that might need a multiprocessing system.

I guess you are right, but isn't that the same deal with the filibuster? Anvf that hasn't stopped people from talking about it.
The problem I have with most of these self-hosted or new tools:

- It's soooooo slow if you are like me and have 50,000-100k+ pictures in all sorts of formats. (RAW, png, gif, jpg)

- There's a real lack of smart and "magical" ML tagging and searching.

- Some I've seen get very confused by the datetime. Like, yes the created date was 2008, but the name of the image is: 'whatsapp-picture-2020-05-22.jpg' or whatever, so obviously show it as a picture from 2020.
Well "fire and forget" is not new at all, but also not that problematic I think. If this targeted a sim card or something it could be seen as something close to an air to air missile that locks on to a target and then homes in.

I think the more dangerous version is drones doing the target selection (or actually any AI, on-board or not). And here it doesn't even matter much if there is a human in the loop, because he is likely to overestimate the drones confidence and press "confirm" most of the time. I think there were already reports of heuristic target selection (with a man in the loop).

> I personally don't trust Wikipedia articles in many subjects.

For the smaller ones, that is warranted - for example, the Croatian Wikipedia is infamous for its bias towards nationalist positions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatian_Wikipedia), something that's only made worse by the aftermath of the Balkan wars decades ago... as a half-Croat myself, I can only say: let's keep it at "the situation is complex and sucks all around, Wikipedia is just one symptom of a much deeper problem".

For bigger projects such as English and German Wikipedia, sheer numbers make outright disinformation spreading much more difficult - there the problem is different: what you see is usually factually correct and neutral-ish, but there is a widespread consensus that Wikipedia editors skew towards white, male and somewhat privileged (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia#Coverage_of_topics_a...).

Personally, I trust scientific and pop culture related articles in most if not all versions of Wikipedia - but keep a healthy skepticism for everything political, since there it is the hardest to judge completeness and accuracy of any subject.

Well, the stuff is there right now, but there’s nobody harvesting them because it’s nowhere near economically viable. Maybe someday in the future, but we can’t just keep polluting the orbits while waiting for that hypothetical day.

LEO stuff is going to deorbit due to drag anyway sooner or later, and we very much would like that to be ”sooner”. Higher orbits are stable for a long time, and intentional deorbiting is not feasible anyway due to the amount of delta-v needed. So there are ”graveyard orbits” into which satellites should be moved before they’re out of propellant.

Anyway, intercepting and capturing defunct satellites on a large scale would be surprisingly costly because of the large variety of orbital planes involved. Inclination changes are expensive with regard to delta-v!

He wasn’t talking about x86 when he said ‘PC’, he was talking really about DOS. That’s clear because he said OS/2 and Presentation Manager could be a new curve. Of course then Windows came out, which he couldn’t have foreseen, and that proved to be the next curve but he was still right. The Windows 3.x/95 architecture had its own successful decade long run.

He was also right about the Mac (OS) architecture of the time peaking, and going into a glide slope in the 90s. That’s exactly what happened and it was running into the ground by the late 90s when he came back to Apple.

What he didn’t anticipate was that advanced pre-emptive multitasking, multi-user OSes with virtual memory, multi-threading, process isolation and all that good stuff would escape the glide slope model. Still, being pretty much spot on for a whole decade into the future at that time is pretty impressive.
> We can also recognize that in the wrong hands, it’s an evil device. But so is a gun.

I'm not sure what your point is here? The 'but' implies that we all now agree that guns are basically OK which is not universally true, and I would say increasingly the opposite.

Also your conception of 'the wrong hands' and other peoples' are not necessarily the same - one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, and so on.

> But it’s not inconceivable that in the future, you might be able to deploy a sentry quadcopter designed to chase down (not destroy) someone who just attacked you. I was shocked that there was a drive-by shooting in my neighborhood a few months ago. Would’ve totally sic’d a drone on them the moment I heard the gunshots.

I think this is exactly what scares people - there are people who would sic killer drones on people Judge Dredd style, out of a misguided sense of moral duty; I heard about a recent case of someone using the 'stand your ground' laws to justify (and be celebrated for!) going to a neighbour's house during a robbery and shooting the thieves in the back, killing them both. Not to mention that in a future where these things are available, that drive-by would've instead been a fly-by killing and you might never know who did it.
Totally agreed. Smart homes seem to lack focus in that area - this seems to be by far the lowest hanging fruit in terms of improving quality of life / health, that smart homes could tackle. Central heating & air, heat exchangers, good isolation, sensors in every room for CO2, humidity, temperature, pollution and maybe O2. A small LCD per room with some warning & error lights (and otherwise no background lighting) if anything goes outside set parameters. In countries like the US where smoke detectors are already mandatory, maybe they could just be replaced with a new generation that offers these capabilities.
Well, its not like you can pin-ball that stuff around. And if the sat is active it can easily counteract anything you can do with a laser. So I don't think there is much military value moving a sat incredibly slowly overtime.

Its mostly useful to move dead objects.
The price of Spotify is incredibly reasonable for consumers, if you listen to it a lot.

If you're paying $10 a month to listen to music 8 hours a day, a 3 minute long song costs you $0.002 per play. And that's ignoring people sharing accounts.

Presumably Spotify's economics rely on customers who don't listen all that often - i.e. people who don't wear headphones at work.
Thought I fully agree with your sentiment, I found working as a coder/scientist in a renowned hospital a braindeadening experience. On all sides walled in by commerce and vested interests, there is very, very, very little room for innovation. If there was, you'd be selected to be painting within the lines set out for you. Papers were glorified changelogs, and rather unsubstantive ones at that. I got very close to a burnout, on account of the vacuousness of the work. Personal marketing was the job, not actually coming up with better ways of doing things.

If this were in isolation then yes I'd agree. And twitter is not the best way to make points.

But I'm pointing out that this is ALWAYS the argument pro-cryptocurrency. It's not this instance, but a pattern.

Cryptocurrency people refute entire books and deep analysis (from actual experts) with "everything you just said is wrong, but I have to go now so can't say why".

It's not this in isolation, but the fact that it's a cliche that's the thing.

It's comical. I'm not sure, but it sounds like you're laying the ground work for waving your hand and saying "book? By the time it's published the technology has moved on, so it's not relevant, so let's just ignore the whole thing" when the main arguments against cryptocurrencies/smart contracts are not about the details of the tech.

The arguments are mainly about the premises and the goals. What technical means get invented then becomes irrelevant.
The word democracy derives from the Greek words for ‘People’ - ‘Demos’ and ‘Power’ - ‘-cracy’. So, literally: ‘people power’ or ‘power of/to or government of the people by the people’. Originally, very roughly speaking, it was an alternative form of government to being ruled by tyrants. If you are seriously disparaging one of the many forms in which human beings have tried to implement some form of democracy, arguably all of which have some flaws, and not just shilling for some authoritarian interest or other (or your own, possibly benighted, or imagined self-interest?), then you need to be more specific. (P.S. Churchill had some useful thoughts on the matter :)
> But the real secret of marketing is that it has a very low success/conversion rate

That's not a secret. Everybody who books advertising online knows their conversion rate. It doesn't matter whether it is low, what matters is that a dollar spent on advertising turns into more than one dollar in revenue.

> Marketing companies will pretend that you'll lose money if you don't, so you'll have to spend that money on them instead.

Many companies - especially those starting out - don't care about losing money, they care about not increasing revenue. If hiring more sales people and spending more on marketing increases revenue - and it generally does - then operating at a loss is okay. If it doesn't, maybe there's no way to salvage your product - figuring that out has value, too.
linuxserver.io made an rdesktop-web based docker image of DigiKam[0], so I guess it could be "upgraded" to self-hosted.

> but I am also aware of the many initiatives WMF is behind

It is unethical to use the money people are giving to Wikimedia in response to a banner on Wikipedia--the only "initiative" Wikimedia runs that they know exists--which claims Wikipedia is going to fail without more money to fund any of their other "many initiatives". If they want to fund other things, the banner should say "don't worry: Wikipedia is safe; but we want to do other things similar to it, and need money from people like you to accomplish those new goals!"... I can't imagine, however, that this honest banner would raise anywhere near as much money.
Your comment would make sense if moderating wikipedia cost that extra $102,000,000 we’re talking about. But it doesn’t.

Wikimedia has one project I’m slightly interested in, and spends most of their money on other projects that I’m completely uninterested in, and would personally consider to be largely a useless waste of time. They aggressively fundraise with a message that implies their single product that everybody cares about is financially imperilled. In reality, if they’d been run responsibly, the one valuable thing they produce could have already been financially secured for decades into the future.

I really just don’t care about what they spend most of their money on, I think they’re deceitful in the way that they fundraise, and all I hope is when all of their side projects eventually fail, that their core product survives in some form.

> you can't really use it as an argument to fuck the current one.

Except this government and the previous ones have mostly EXACTLY the same policies on pretty much everything (more police/business, less healthcare/education), including the copyright mafia. The lobbies are still the same people, too.

This new government has also implied HADOPI didn't go far enough and they'd make a new law to further criminalize video streaming consumption (HADOPI only criminalizes the assumption of p2p sharing on Bittorrent protocol specifically).

> What they're doit here is good and a net positive.

What they're doing here is putting a bandaid on a cancer. Abolish copyright, redistribute wealth massively, and invest in emancipatory education (alla Montessori) and you'll get much better results. But they're not interested in making things better for the people, only in diverting public money into the pockets of their business friends from the cultural sector. For that, giving away 500 credits (not actual euros) that can be used on cultural contents approved of by the industry/government (not independent artists) is fairly effective.

Perhaps the Faroe Islands are a better example for most. They have pretty much the same status as Greenland, but I doubt that many doesn't view the Faroe Islands as country separate country.

Greenland governs it self, with the exception of foreign affairs and defence, and Denmark helps fund everything (around $500 Million per year). In return Denmark gets political influence that we wouldn't have otherwise. Nobody would care what Danish politicians have to say about the arctic, if we didn't hold influence over Greenlands foreign affairs.

The yearly economical support to Greenland is honestly the only reason Greenland isn't a fully independent country, but even if they opted manage their own foreign politics and defence, I think many might still want to keep the Danish Queen.

It's true that copyright is not transferred but courts may well recognize the buyers right to display those images on a website as implicitly given. If you are minting an NFT today, putting the file on IPFS, accepting the fact that it will be freely available across the internet, and selling to someone "digital ownership", you will I think fins it hard to convince a judge that you did not intend to grant such a license.

Also, consider that in NFTs, the only one selling an NFT to the Mona Lisa is Leonardo.

The idea of the child generation always progressing from the parent is dangerously clouded by the immediate past and probably also very myopic.

Throughout history there are many instances where the child generation regresses the status quo by and large, sometimes over multiple generations. Even when there is progress in general, there may be specific aspects of society which do regress relative to the past. All I'm saying really is that we shouldn't look at all forward movement as necessarily moving upward.
I don't think someone ready to murder people to take their organs will have problem with finding ways around "consent".

In fact, if more organs are available, it should limit the need for a black market. Imagine you are rich and in desperate need for an organ. You are not fundamentally evil, but you are really desperate, losing morality and ethics as the disease progressed. If someone can find you an organ before you get to murder then it will save the life of an innocent and your sanity, and maybe also your own life too, for the quicker response.
Right: because you shifted the argument to editors from moderators; what they need are not people to edit articles, but instead to do community management that reduces the toxicity of the current de facto bureaucracy that is designed to prevent arguments but instead seems to cause them.

Its an international issue. And after the Outer space treaty getting more space legislation threw any sort of international organization has turned out to be impossible.

The nations are afraid of adding more regulation for sat de-orbiting. Because its easy to add regulation requiring de-orbiting is in place, but if your sat is dead, you don't actually pay for removing it.

The regulation that is needed is that if you leave something behind you have to de-orbit it but since there is no commercial service for this or a known cost, all the nations are afraid to do it, as the sat providers would just leave the country.

Hopefully these things will be demonstrate and there will be an actual price and then you can potentially insure for it.

There is a big BUG in marketing economics that we do not have a price for external Junk/Waste. This one organizations junk may be "free" to them, but cost another organization big amounts of work and hassle.

Space junk is such an example. After you launch your satellite and it does it work and then becomes obsolete, there is very low to no incentive to remove the waste in a good manner.

Nature usually works differently in that there is some kind of waste harvest process that recycles the waste into a renewable process.
