I don't think users take much issue with services collecting data that they feed directly into the system. I find it hard to believe anyone would not expect Facebook to be aware of what their users are doing within Facebook's walls.

The issue has always been that Facebook is tracking you on non-Facebook websites and apps, even if you don't have a Facebook account. From a user's perspective, they never told Facebook what products they were looking at on Etsy, so Facebook collecting that data feels like a violation of their privacy. Things like GDPR and Apple's new IDFA policy do neuter this considerably.

I'd be surprised if a noticeable percentage of the value of your comic books is that you can read them. It seems like it's essentially 0% to me -- almost as baseless as an NFT, and makes me think some sort of functionality isn't actually needed for lots of people to agree that something is valuable for a long time.
So I looked into these links. On [3] there is no data that backs this quote of hers:
"Suggestive pictures used in lectures on image processing are similarly distracting to the women listeners and convey the message that the lecturer caters to the males only."

The 30 (!) year old Spertus paper even states that most of the data collected was anecdotal.
It's not about needing religion. It's about once it's proven to be correct, the only rational decision a rational person can come to is to accept it. In other words, you have it the other way around.

NASA is working with Lockheed on the X-59 QueSST to tackle the noise concerns. Construction is ongoing but over half complete according to wp . first flight planned for 2022. 2025 or so is when the icao expects to establish a new sonic boom standard. If things go well it could be much less of a blunt instrument than 'no overland flights ever' like what was required for the birds in the days of Concorde and Boeing's SST competitor, the 2707 or Lockheed L-2000
Jaywalking is typically (i.e. I know of now jurisdiction in the west where it's not) a civil infraction. Though if the cops want to be dicks they can pretend not to know and arrest you but they can do that with any law or they can get you for a nebulous contempt of cop offense but they can do that anytime. It's on-par with a parking ticket, littering or not removing your trash bin from the street after trash day.

If you don't pay the fine (and don't show up in court to tell them why you can't afford it) that's the criminal infraction and that's when they put a warrant out.

Yes, I suppose it is. The idea is to treat all citizens equally and help those that are struggling to make ends meet.

Neat idea, it just needs to be less centralized. A lot more people (myself included) would be interested if this was a federated protocol or API, and not limited just to iPhones.

> [...] until the incentives have changed.

I think it's not only individual incentives, it's also the incentive structure of whole ecosystems.

The way we write software nowadays (or even do other business processes) includes so many complexities and therefore potential attack vectors that I doubt anyone anywhere doesn't have gaping security holes unless they're writing code on airgapped systems where every component is thoroughly vetted or something. Just take a look at the crazy amount of (transitive) dependencies that any average web app (frontend or backend) has nowadays, or all the different infrastructure components.

Once I took a few steps down the simulation path, it seemed so easy and powerful that I didn't look back. There is some computational cost, but for me it's more than made up for by how easy it is to, for instance, say "I'd like to model sick days";
* let the government tell me how often people are sick (https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat47.htm, see "Computer and
# mathematical occupations", absence rate, due to illness or injury),
* make my simulated workers take days off at that rate.

And everything else, all the statistics etc, can stay exactly the same. And I can have a lot of trust that it's producing sane results because I can look at a run, and say yes, that's a plausible number of sick days.

Monte carlo requires you to be clever once, setting up the simulation, and then you almost never have to be clever later when you want to introduce new twists. Any other statistical model you have to keep being cleverer for every additional complication.
> NFTs seem to provide a way for an artist and fans to collectively agree that some digital object is the original, and to treat it as such.

The point is that it remains to be seen if humans actually care if we declare "ownership" in this way, when as a non-owner I can see and get access to the exact same bits as the "owner".

With physical goods, even though the value assigned to an "original" is arbitrary, it does seem that humans care more about "I know this collection of atoms is the original, and no one else can copy this same collection of atoms" that just the idea that there is a record of ownership on some blockchain.
> I completely agree, but in a corporate setting one can be truthful, accurate, have good intent, and yet still be tone deaf and insensitive. The bar for insensitive is very low in this context.

If a fair and honest reading of his memo reveals that he had good intent, and the memo was scientifically accurate - and yet he was fired and publicly vilified for it, then isn't describing it as "tone deaf and insensitive" a form of victim-blaming?

It seems similar to pointing out that the victim of a sexual assault was dressed provocatively.
The source is my observations and experience. The same kid gets picked on day in and day out. All the torment is directed at the bottom 5 percent of the social ladder. Nonstop.

I don't believe the adult world provides as much torture. Aside from workplace backstabbing, people are much nicer as adults, even if it's all for show. And as an adult you can more easily remove yourself from relationships and surroundings that aren't working. Kids are more prone to social cruelty and you're mostly stuck in your environment without the ability to opt-out.
As someone who doesn't collect anything, NFT for collectibles doesn't interest me personally. But I still think NFTs have a future as digitally signed proof of ownership of media assets.

Long ago, back in my web designer days, I bought a CD from CompUSA full of clip arts and stock photos and used them on my clients' websites. I moved on to web development and out of nowhere 5 years later I got a panicked call from an old client who said Getty is threatening to sue them for using copyrighted images on the website I made for them. Try as I might, I could not convince either my ex-client or Getty reps that I legally (and most likely naively) bought a stock photo CD but did not have that in my possession any longer. Cost me a month's rent out of pocket to get the matter resolved as I did not have the resources to fight either of them.

I can imagine a (non-physical-media) future where all commercial stock media is signed upon download, with the NFT signature embedded in the file itself like EXIF data. Editors can be made to respect the source file NFTs and include them in the exported files. YouTube could easily identify the NFT for the audio track you used in your video and if you had licensed it legally, it would not even run the fingerprint algo on it. Now it doesn't matter if the original seller or vendor goes out of business. The history is in the blockchain forever (or as long as the license permits).

I'm not saying I support going all NFT for ownership/copyright. I'm saying I can imagine it happening as a valid use-case for NFT/blockchain.

You know I hear a lot of people talk about how religion makes people angry and hateful, but I don't hear nearly as much for how religion makes people more loving, more caring, and better; and I know it does because I've seen it plenty of times.

Religion has helped me to be a better father and husband, it pushes me to be more interested in helping other people and constantly push myself to try and be a better person today than I was yesterday, while helping me to forgive others and be more understanding.

I know that doesn't sell headlines as well, and that doesn't make for good internet arguments, but the fact of the matter is that religion does help people become better, help others, and provides plenty of value to society.

I always thought this tweet summed up the ridiculousness of NFTs well.

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1372739631846936581

I think the reason they seem silly to a lot of people is because when you buy an NFT there's nothing extra you can do that other people can't when you hold the NFT.

I can have the exact same experience as the NFT holder for free with no effort.

Sure technically you can also make copies of physical collectibles but its not (trivial + free) like copying and pasting an image.
The difference is, 30 years ago we did not have viable VR consumer devices for sale. They might not be "iPhone" popular, but they exist now. I liken this to the MP3 player years before the iPod launch.

> Poster is heavily partisan.

I take offense to be honest. I'm attempting accurately depicting what I am seeing. I'm more than willing to hear alternative views. It's important to have our views challenged.

I'm interested in the truth, regarding my recent prior post(s) I explained what I saw at my families school(s).

Regarding this, I've been following this closely and provided links to the senate (to let the senate speak for itself, as opposed to the NPR article).

For reference, I didn't vote for Trump. I didn't and don't agree with his methods or viewpoints. BUT I can also recognize the argument(s) they are making and treat their views and concerns with respect.

> My 100% baseless opinion is that animal brains are fundamentally different from computers

You are correct in that opinion.

I’m not or specialist in the field, but FWIW key difference between neural circuit vs processor is that former is specialised and analog while latter is programmable and digital.

Your brain is not running any software, instead its hardwired to process series of electric signals („trains”). Neurons can be used to model logic gates, but nature uses different approach where there are „dumb” neurons that just transmit signals and then there are „functional” neurons that emit signal only if certain conditions have been met, be it right frequency of electric signals in „electric train”, current chemical state of neuron or number of received signals from other neurons at given time.

> The admission that different languages are best suited to different tasks throws a monkey wrench into the Erlang ecosystem, because now I all of a sudden can't use Erlang for everything.

I would note that Erlang is pretty good at absorbing other things into the Erlang abstraction. Depending on your needs, you can use:

• NIFs (library code loaded into the Erlang VM — good for performance, but not good for fault-tolerance)

• Port programs: arbitrary POSIX processes (as long as they speak a specified protocol on their stdio) spawned by the Erlang VM and communicated with + managed through a fancy socket abstraction (Erlang ports).

• Erlang "C nodes": arbitrary software that links in Erlang's erl_interface distribution-protocol library (https://erlang.org/doc/apps/erl_interface/ei_users_guide.htm...) as C code, and so can then join an Erlang distribution-set as a full peer.

That last one is especially interesting if you're building a polyglot system where Erlang is just one component: it allows you to build an Erlang "node" entirely in C or Go or Rust or Java or Haskell or whatever, that — from Erlang's perspective — can occupy one of the node-roles in your Erlang system architecture; while from the other software's side, can treat the Erlang abstract-machine as a guest within some other abstracted system. Through the erl_interface library, the C node gets access to all the interesting distribution and fault-tolerance tools of Erlang (e.g. it can interact with other nodes' ports; it can hold monitor refs; etc.) So you still can "use Erlang for everything" (related to distribution and fault-tolerance, at least) even in your other software.
I don’t disagree but at least in the US, the eldest generation is the largest voting block. And they have the perk of having influenced society for 50+ years, laying down an attractive track record of achievements, and most importantly convincing the next largest voting block (their children) to have roughly the same ideals.

Although the young skew away from their grandparents ideals, people who are in their 40s and 50s tend to vote similarly.
Let me show you my fine collection of prime numbers!
I don’t think that’s correct considering people from Nigeria, France, or N-th generation Americans can all be considered “black” provided they have a certain set of physical traits even though these people very likely have very different cultures. So the American notion of “race” spans cultures and it is derived from physical traits, not cultural artifacts.

> What's the point though?

I am not inside any of these corps but I started using a PiHole at home for 7 months now. Plus I installed ad/tracking blockers on all of family's devices, and installed every possible privacy addon on their web browsers.

The result? In the rare cases when I had to open up the machine and so the PiHole was down, we've all seen the most random ads you can imagine -- and super generic. They knew my mother's phone was of an elderly woman so they pushed ads of all sorts of knee protectors and sore throat pills... ironically she has zero problems with both!

Same for me. Apparently being 40+ I now need to buy one car each week and dream of going to "beach retreats full of young women" (that was literally the text of 10+ ads I've seen). Little do they know I am very happily married.

Examples abound. It's kind of hilarious.

Back to your point, and with us being techies, I think we are under no illusion that the corps still know quite a few things about us. But I am here to tell you that if you try well enough they'll eventually lose the big picture of you and will only have a few separate quanta of data about you which they aren't sure what to do with -- at least when it comes to targeted advertising.
Just because problems are more visible does not mean they have regressed IMO.
Age is somewhat prioritized in practice. Why do you think political diversity would be similarly prioritized?

There's a moral argument that comes into play with politics that doesn't for age or race. There's nothing even abstractly morally problematic about making your product appeal to women or old people or whomever. There may be reasons to avoid marketing or aligning your product to, say, people whose political views you disagree with.

They can be. Credentialism facilitates structural racism and class boundaries. Nobody gives a shit about gingers, that is a red herring.

One of my parents used to work in the housing discrimination space. Those same types of arguments were used there. Instead of credentials, they’d advertise in targeted ways, like only advertising at law or medical schools, etc.

Recruiters use colleges as a legal discrimination technique to target specific class origins. Unless you win the college lottery and get into Harvard, it is not possible for a kid from an urban setting to get the gig at McKinsey that is the entry screener used to get certain gigs.
