> Mostly media and public relations originally, and if an artist gets attention for long enough, government, non-profit and educational institutions will legitimize that media coverage and write an artist into the mainstream "lexicon" for history going forward.

I think a big part of it is that once an artist has this status, it becomes part of the industry that tracks provenance and detects forgeries. If your cousin's painting was valuable without being part of this system, you could crank out 100 of them and no one would know which one was the original, or whether your cousin actually painted the other 99.

So in this way you're begging the question a little bit. If scarcity alone doesn't bring value, provable scarcity might.
>He is intentional in the use as the entire article is about Jews and Israel.

Determining intent from a single page of text is about as solvable as the halting problem.
This is really not it for the most part it. The thing is there are a bunch of people that are really really rich and they're creating this NFT economy powered by cryptocurrency. The high ticket NFT sales are a way of shoveling tens of millions of dollars into this economy to fuel it's growth. If they succeed it's a cheap land grab for them, if they fail they won't miss the money they "lost" on NFTs, because they really are that rich.
> It's different because the artist actually put their brush on the original canvas, but not the copies.

And, identically, the NFT of a digital work is different from copies of the digital work because the artist actually issued the NFT.

> I could buy that the emphasis we put on the original having more value is arbitrary, but there's nothing actually arbitrary about selecting which painting is _the original_.

And again, the situation with NFTs is identical. There's nothing arbitrary about determining the NFT issued by the artist and who controls that NFT (assuming the NFT blockchain technology works as intended), in fact it should be much easier than determining the originality of a famous painting.
Because it was always an obvious scam. A few early crypto adopters with zillions of coins passing them back and forth to create enough hype to convince a bunch of bandwagon jumpers to give away their money for nothing more than having their name carved into a tree.
Jenkins has always rubbed me the wrong way. The quality of plugins, the dated UI, Groovy. It just feels out of place and bloated every time I use it. Being a Java app doesn't help either. It reminds me of Jira where you have to hack that death to make it "fit in" to common workflows. I'll take any of the alternatives over it.
Can anyone link some research papers on this?
> With open borsers for people and trade can one meber state have different laws for banned items or substances?

The Netherlands have fairly lax laws on substances and are a EU member. If you take something from the Netherlands into a country that doesn't want that item within their borders you are subject to the local laws. Same thing that would happen if you brought contraband from South America to the US really.
I like the idea of tags, but it introduces extra work in terms of monitoring for abuse, arbitrating disagreement, and depending on the tags could even introduce additional editorial bias. I'm curious how this gets worked out on other sites, especially those with as wide a variety of posts as HN.

e.g. I'm looking at the lobste.rs tags and HN would probably need a much bigger superset, or a smaller set of higher level topics
I have a wheel there, it's awkward to "click" on that thing. But thanks for the tip anyway!

That auction is a bunch of people who could command those prices for the non-nft art as well, so not sure what that proves.
> People are oppressing others “right” to drink now?

I didn't say that. I said it's a law applied unevenly, as I see it.

> Where’s your evidence for any of this?

I stated an observation based on my own experience, and why I believe it. The evidence for my belief is my own observations, which were explained.

> In my “rich” neighborhood cops stop people all the time for drinks in the park or glass bottles on the beach.

Parks and beaches will be policed differently, as public gathering places. I wasn't talking about those, even if the comment I was replying to was, I was referring to the more general topic of open containers in public in general, which is why I mentioned my street and a street a few blocks away.

It's obvious you have strong feelings on this topic (or another topic that you want this to stand in for), from both the way you approached the conversation and how you pigeonholed my statement into some other narrative that it wasn't intended to apply to. I've done my best to ignore the aggressive tone and re-framing of my point, but perhaps that approach isn't a useful strategy for productive discussion, if that's what you're actually going for?
Twitter.

I have lists created by me for various topics that interests me. I constantly keep adding/removing based on signal/noise from the people/handles in those list.
> Is it systematic oppression?

Yes, in that I was unlucky to have been born with a physical trait where I'm the "oppressor", when in fact I'm an immigrant having nothing to do with U.S. history. This affected my social and economic life in ways that I feel are unfair, but FML I guess.

> the amount of resources I consume does not scale well, given my values.

So you're solution is to scale back on humans instead, when other countries are scaling up their population with impunity. Where is the outrage at China's child policy update (unless you're Chinese, in which case, good for you I guess)? Is that side of the world somehow immune to over-population?
Sure, but that's like saying I can use my home printer to create a certificate of title for someone else's car. Obviously I can, but that doesn't mean that certificates of title for cars are pointless.
JavaScript abuse keeps going on... A language designed for simple browser automation is turning into a plague. It's funny how we bounce from one extreme to another wasting so much effort and focus - many people moved from Java to JavaScript as a revolt against the complexity of the Java ecosystem and specs and laziness to code strongly typed. But look at the JavaScript ecosystem today - with Babel and the JSON libraries, it overshadows the old Java one! Pretty much every Java and XML technology got reinvented and reimplemented in worse ways. And now many replaced JavaScript with TypeScript...

I wouldn't touch a murderer with a 10 foot pole.
I also think this “upside decay” idea has some weight as an argument for some kind of economic reform. There are many would-be entrepreneurs whose potential remains untapped because the low odds of an extreme upside aren’t worth the high odds of a (relatively low-cost) downside to them as an individual, even if those odds are attractive to the society when scaled across many individuals.

I don’t see any way to overcome that discrepancy between the individual and the society except by guaranteeing the individual some acceptable standard of living even when they fail. VC tries to do this, but only for ideas tied to specific economic sectors. Lambda school did something that’s halfway there (cover basic expenses, but only for schooling — not for business ventures). Basic income is the broadest idea that helps free entrepreneurs to pursue more frictionlessly these ideas that society benefits from without worry of the cost of failure, yet I hardly ever see people frame it that way.
We admittedly splurged on the grinder and got another breville product, the Dose Control Pro I think, which was as much as the darn espresso machine. It has a timer and a good grind setting dial, and you can put the portafilter right into it, but I still just grind into a little tupperware container and then measure out by weight with a spoon though, as right into the basket always makes a mess imo.

I've never got the preinfusion step to work the way I want. I tried it a bunch after buying the non-pressurized basket, and found I'd get pours coming out way too fast (like <5s) no matter how hard I tamped, even at >18g in the basket, doing almost exactly what you mentioned! I think they worked okay in the pressurized one though.

I've since settled on ~16.5-17.5g at ~12.5 on the grinder (from 1-50), and tamped briefly about as hard as I can comfortably press. Comes out good enough every time that I stopped timing anything and just pull to the 34g weight (+5-6g of drip after) these days.

I'm inspired to go grab a coffee. :)
No. If you are able to attribute identity in some way to the address that created the NFT then you can reasonably assume the NFT is legitimate. There are ways to do this. One can publicly declare (and prove) they control the address through a 3rd party system (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or some decentralized method). You can also determine based off the activity of the address itself (what and when it created nfts in the past) and make certain assumptions about the validity of a self-proclaimed identity. The address becomes the identity in a way.
The problem with the whole Blockchain business is what happens when a court declares something with violates the chain? You need to start keeping a user maintained list of patches, at which point why bother with a Blockchain instead of just having a trusted website?
I very much feel their ruling is correct. The CFAA is intended to target "hackers," not policy violations.

Here's a quote from the ruling making the point that applying the law to something like access policy is far too broad to be viable

> The Government’s interpretation of the “exceeds authorized access” clause would attach criminal penalties to a breathtaking amount of commonplace computer activity. For instance, employers commonly state that computers and electronic devices can be used only for business purposes. On the Government’s reading, an employee who sends a personal e-mail or reads the news using a work computer has violated the CFAA. The Government speculates that other provisions might limit its prosecutorial power, but its charging practice and policy indicate otherwise. The Government’s approach would also inject arbitrariness into the assessment of criminal liability, because whether conduct like Van Buren’s violated the CFAA would depend on how an employer phrased the policy violated

Too bad many people can't really share this otherwise-insightful post thanks to its NSFW title.
> If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself.

This is the only line in the blog post that can be construed as antisemitic rather than a criticism of Israel. It would not be antisemitic if he had stated the opinion: "Israel has an insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of itself."

I used to be involved in the Palestine Liberation movement and we always complained about people conflating Jews with Israel. Just because someone criticizes Israel does not mean they are antisemitic. Those who support Israel use the conflation to further their cause. In this sentence, the author does it on his own and screwed himself.
Yes?

Think of it as the downside of the Enlightenment idea that governments acquire their legitimacy solely from the support of the governed. If the people of a nation do not approve of the actions of their government, they have both the right and the responsibility to change those actions.

Or, think of it as basic ethics: no one who eats meat can be more saintly than a butcher. Everyone who benefits from citizenship in a nation gets to share responsibility for the actions of the nation.
Many people who love this sort of thing say that it was a stunt. Do you have any examples of other normal middle class persons' art at Christie's?
> At the end of the comment he says his sons are well rounded adults.

While they are likely doing fine, parents usually aren't the correct people to ask, the kids could be withholding how much they've been struggling and even if they aren't no parent would objectively say if their kids didn't turn out into "well rounded adults", unless the parent truly hated their kids.

Parents like making their kids look better than they are.
Despite everything you said being true, it's still one of the few open-source, free solutions in the mobile build space.

I'm wondering if Buildkite or something newer is comparable today, but for a long time, Jenkins was one of the only non-custom ways of building an in-house iOS/Android build system.
If 1.8 billion in the hand is worth more than 1.8 billion year to year, then Prosus would've never bought.

I hadn't realized that Gogo was in such a bad spot with the upstream Go protobuf changes. There was lots of drama when the changes were made and I guess that overshadowed any optics I had on Gogo.

Making vtprotobuf an additional protoc plugin seems like the Right Thing™, although it's a shame how complicated protoc commands end up becoming for mature projects. I'm pretty tempted to port Authzed over to this and run some benchmarks -- our entire service requires e2e latency under 20ms, so every little bit counts. The biggest performance win is likely just having an unintrusive interface for pooling allocated protos.
> Imagine a future where you can engage in completely legal torrenting of copyrighted works, where all sides have NFT proofs of ownership. Owning an NFT would mean you own the notarized right to download a copy as well as to seed it to other torrenters who can cryptographically prove they own the same NFT.

Thank you! You get what I'm talking about. Many folks here are replying to me as if I'm saying NFTs can prevent copyright infringements. That's not possible and not the goal. The goal would be to track ownership and handle violations more reliably than mass DMCA-notices that plague YouTube.

I'm not religions but I wonder how many of the people down-voting you have some externally defined and administrated belief structure (and accompanying in-group out-group membership definitions) that performs the same set of functions in their life but isn't a religion.
> Everything I see from Peter Norvig is just always so incredibly well written and coded. ....

I feel his skill of dividing a problem into small pieces and expressing them in code in a natural way is unparalleled. Most books/blogs/articles I see often focus on one of two patterns.

The most frequent one is pulling in some dependencies and using a high level API, essentially skipping any real problem solving. Great when you just need a problem solved and are familiar with some framework/library but not that great for learning to program or problem solving

The other one is a deep dive into a data structure, algorithm or performance tuning. This is great when studying theory or optimizing. These articles are more interesting but I haven't encountered many people who are in a position where this is relevant to day to day work.

The missing pattern is one where Peters' work shines. The parts in between. All the libraries that are used in the first example I described are the result of someone taking the building blocks that result from the second example and applying them to a real world problem. Peter Norvig is my go to recommendation when someone is interested in becoming better at solving day to day problems because of this.
The notion that people change and grow and sometimes learn from their mistakes and become better people seems to have gone by the wayside in recent years.
Doesn't make sense to me. Say I have 1 million dollars of BTC that was stolen, what NFT would I buy so that I can later claim my 1 million is legal? In theory, you would say just create an NFT but in practice that wouldn't work or remotely be easy. I would have to create an NFT that is worth say 100 dollars and pretend it went to 1 million. There has to be a justification with previous sells of similar NFTs etc. This is a case where theory and practice doesn't match.
We've had equality (equal opportunity). Now the aim is, unfortunately, equity (equal outcomes, regardless of merit).
Except there's no reason for that to be distributed and thus no reason for it to be an NFT.

You could accomplish the same thing just using signed files, or a hash in the exif.
looks like a lot of useful information however it's unfortunate they didn't add rubygems analytics and project dependencies as a whole report or api support.
A Napoleonesque figure appearing soon. On Twitter, probably.

Only half joking. After a certain time, most people get tired and afraid of constant paranoid vigilantism and start searching for protection. Any protection.

And whoever gained positions of power from the previous tumult, will seek immunity from further revolutionary tumult, which is easiest to achieve by suppressing the worst Robespierres and ossifying the new structures.

From an outside perspective, it is striking how much the woke wave is waning compared to 2020. Trump is gone from Twitter, so a constant irritant has been removed, and people are starting to having a bit of a hangover. Plus the new rulers of the nest need a bit of calm for political business as usual.
Great! Now we have to neuralize you.
I'm very pleased to hear this and it blows my mind that ad IDs were built into mobile operating systems in the first place.
You're right. But what you're saying has been a fact for decades. And so far government hasn't stepped in. So do you want to live in a cave and hope the government finally steps in, or invest in a (carbon intensive) Miami wall project and make massive profit?
Pretty nice site the only issue I have is that the Crates.io part does not differentiate between development dependencies and normal dependencies.
See what you said, typing to fast; appreciate it. Added in the "ic". My bad there, based on other discussion I hope it's clear I typed "democratic" not "democrat".
well probably they tend not to get that because once you've done time in the U.S you're screwed whether it was for stealing a candy bar, dealing drugs, or murder.

On the other hand the exception to that rule would be - I've known guys who were drug addicts, caught, go through rehabs, and become counselors and psychologists in the judicial system. Which is pretty close to the scenario under discussion.

on edit - ok only know two guys who did that, but they exist.
First cool headed reply. ty

My question was more tactical than anything. Coding tests and hiring are a good example. Is a general purpose "diversity officer" likely to understand hiring, coding tests and such to improve on this?

An understanding of abstract issues, like bell curves and bias in testing generally is one thing. Getting into the nitty gritty, dealing with objections and finding alternatives is another. Don't you need someone that understands coding tests, coding, technical hiring and such to make a difference? A nondiscriminatory hiring method is objectively better, even if you don't care about diversity.

A person in authority, but removed from the actual task at hand seems like a recipe for box ticking, to me. I believe it could work for blatant, simple misogyny. For deeper issues like hiring process, don't we need subject experts?

Leaving workplace diversity aside, say the issue is application design. An application doesn't work well for people of different cultural or educational backgrounds? Don't we need someone with both an understanding of UIs and an understanding of those needs? I don't see how authority can lead someplace good. People who have never dealt with UIs have terrible ideas about how to improve them.

>I hope that answers your question. It's not an easy thing to describe, and it's easy to dismiss the problems they're trying to fix and not worth solving.

I appreciate you wading in. Most of the other comments have been quite depressing. I think what we need is more presumption of good will, and to try and carry less baggage from previous experience. People can be wrong but not bad people. They can come around. There are multiple routes to getting where we want to go. That's not to say no one is ill willed.

Lastly, I think not seeing a solution often leads to not seeing the problem... even though it's logically backwards. I also think that a deep awareness of problems leads to seeing solutions. I don't think you can use authority alone and force people to find solutions to problems they don't care about, or believe in. The problem they'll actually try to solve is "how do I me this person leave me alone."

Those are rookie numbers - imagine how much he could have gotten by selling an NFT of an invisible sculpture!

An NFT of a piece of digital art that was minted by the artist themselves might psychologically approximate this.
I wonder how the market for compliance and authorization tools and services will react to this ruling. I would guess they will have a lot of increased business - even though employers can always fire an employee that violates policy, it will probably strengthen their case to ensure that the employee is also breaking the law, especially in unionized workplaces or other places where formal policies around termination are especially important.
Plus there could also be the psychological effects of possibly being isolated and confined in a small floating tin can.
I initially agreed with Justice Thomas's viewpoint but you really make it clear that he is wrong.
Oh no, it’s almost like people started to realize that the entire system was built from bullshit marketing and hype from stupidly executed multi-million dollar sales.
No, but it still mostly defends it's countries interests.

Just like the IDF does which has non Jewish member's.
How is it an overreaction? It seems like its main purpose is to avoid government restrictions on importing money, but what it actually does is to destroy our environment so we can pay ransoms and build an asset bubble. I’d expect nations to react to threats to their security, especially for things that don’t offer any social benefit like cryptocoins.
Seriously, it's little details like that which makes me stan.
