It's because there's no price, so you can use it to justify money that came from elsewhere. Like if I made a million dollars selling drugs, I can put up an NFT, create a straw buyer (really me) who buys it from me for a million dollars, and now my black money has turned into white money.
It's not a bad idea, but the landing page needs more clear non-video illustrations of exactly what the experience looks like. The videos are somewhat helpful but they are so jumpy with lots of quick cuts that it's hard to get a good look.
I'm talking like second and third grades. Where the teacher literally was reading -to- us. We had copies of the book, we could follow along if we knew how and wanted to, but it most definitely was NOT trying to teach us literary criticism.
Knowing better how plants will respond to changing climates will help us be better stewards, on private and public land (like the US National Park system where we have a mandate, however misguided regarding traditional indigenous human involvement, to preserve in perpetuity).

I recommend Overstory by Richard Powers if you’re looking to cultivate a deeper appreciation for trees. It starts with a story about a chestnut tree spanning generations of a sod-busting farm family.

Yes, there's a possible conflict of interest -- if true.

There are 2 other counters, unless the whole table decided to cheat the same way every time, it wouldn't matter. It's also recorded on camera as well, and being checked by software (in a following planned audit).
Don’t think that’s as much a “Jobs” reply as just a general senior management necessity.

With the amount of “important” emails you get in a position with any kind of responsibility, writing thoughtful elaborate responses to each and every one would leave you with no time to do your actual job.

So you communicate the core message clearly and bluntly, and move on to the next fire.
Maybe if you’re referring to regular phishing sure, but spear phishing is specifically designed so it won’t go to your junk email and will look like something made for them personally, there won’t be any spelling mistakes, it will have been sent from a likely email source, it will most likely contain some personal information. The right phish at the right time could catch just about anyone out.

There’s a great talk at Black Hat about how Stripe trains staff against these sorts of phishing campaigns and these are highly technical people and they still click the links. https://youtu.be/Z20XNp-luNA
You're naive lol. First, what over-population? There are huge ares of unpopulated land in the U.S. Many states are largely empty. Second, China just expanded their child policy. You think young people today have it hard in terms of competition? Good luck to your kid in a couple decades, because it will be that much more harder thanks to the U.S. slowly dying off.

I have no kids thanks to a decade and a half of being beaten down by the economy and people who would rather see me suffer because I look like people whose ancestors did bad things. I'm not complaining though, the next few generations will suffer compounding consequences.

> The democrat party

"Democrat Party is an epithet for the Democratic Party of the United States, used in a disparaging fashion by the party's opponents. While the term has been used in a non-hostile way, it has grown in its negative use since the 1940s, in particular by members of the Republican Party—in party platforms, partisan speeches, and press releases—as well as by conservative commentators and Third party politicians"

No one buys a ring doorbell for the express purpose of being closer to Bezos or something. They do it because they want to be able to answer their door remotely - that it's on Amazon's server is a side effect of both not caring enough and not knowing how to host it locally.

Sounds like a step that Tesla skipped. In the VFX world of movies, this is known as PreViz. I remember when the 3D rendering first came to CAD. One of the projects my dad was working on discovered that if they built it exactly to the plan's specifications, there would have been plumbing pipes running through other pipes. Lots of value in these kinds of looking at things digitaly before doing it physically
I can see where you got that implication, it wasn't the intention of my comment - the last few line of the blog post are obviously anti-semitic.

I probably should have used the word "really" rather than "actually", as I was trying to contrast the minor response with the harm of the offense, not contrast other racist things with this racist thing.

But neither battle was decisive for the second world war. And deciding a war is what decisive battles are about.

France fought on, the Free French forces were active on each front. Including the Eastern Front. Norway formed a government in exile, and continued the fight. Including the sabotage of the Nazis heavy water production. So no, these countries didn't surrender, as defeated countries did in the Napoleonic Wars.
As someone who received medication for childhood ADHD, the highly managed classroom environment was never an issue, it was getting the homework done at home when I had to be self-motivated.

I think it is just media bias, ransomware has become an interesting story so it is getting published more frequently, not necessarily having anything to do with any actual uptick in activity. (same issue with covid-related violence towards asians. I remember hearing a bit about it at the beginning of the pandemic, very little for months and months, then a few weeks of intense coverage which has simmered down recently. I doubt any of this really correlates with the actual frequency of incidents). News has trends and people mistake what the news is talking about something for the actual prevalence of the subject.

Many many companies are really very insecure, there doesn't have to be some big 0day for most. More like a combination of long known, unpatched vulnerabilities, social-engineering vulnerabilities, and instances of essentially leaving the door entirely open.
And you're not educated enough to understand that "meritocracy" is a myth that entrenches existing power and privilege structures, because the people who are good at something are the people with the resources and social capital it takes to get good at that thing.

Yes, their constituents wanted them to check this. It was a conspiracy theory and the goal is to dispel conspiracy theories... So they are.

The electorate should be able to inspect their ballots no?

The prior audits were checking software on the machines. Not looking at the ballots. This audit is looking at the ballots and supposedly will check the validity of voter(s) via re-canvassing.

At least some are people who want to make quick $$$ and have missed out getting in to the cryptos early on.

And how they are going to explode in value in few years time. As far as I can tell, profit is their only motive.

Who knows. Maybe they will. Maybe not. But at least I’ve tried to remind my friend that it is a highly speculative asset. And that she should not put in more money than she is ready to lose. All or most of it.
When switching target orientation while already approaching one I would use quadratic bezier splines to get a smooth switch (https://ibiblio.org/e-notes/Splines/bezier.html). These just use linear interpolation, multiple times.
In the case of quaternions replace the linear interpolations with quaternion slerps and you get quadratic bezier splines over orientations.
You imply that a parent in a public school has a lot of power to make the school better, which is questionable. If the poor outcomes are due not to a lack of resources but to the preferences of the administrators and teachers, you as a parent will be SOL.
I find the best solution is to simply never use a social media account attached to your real identity.

Innocent comments taken out of context or a general changing of accepted speech can turn a decade old bit of text into damning evidence of bigotry, racism, or any other ism.
Even formal mathematical proofs "appeal to authority" when they invoke theorems without re-deriving them every time. It's a shorthand reference to knowledge that time and energy has already been spent discovering. The parallel for this in society, where the present cumulative scope of knowledge is completely impossible for a single person to independently discover on their own, is called expertise. When you are denigrating experts, you are denigrating acquired, shared knowledge.

Pure reason has limits, but one of the neat things about rational argumentation is that it can be applied to itself to discover what alot of its own limits are.

Depends on the person. I am generally fine in a "being stuck in the office all day" situation, but get anxiety trying to setup plans for social interactions, even with really close friends. Even just coffee. Also, 1 on 1 situations tend to cause me more anxiety that groups/crowds.

Point being, everyone is different in this regard.

Tax evasion is what i think is happening here, like in art. Person owns 20 paintings. Person 1 sells 1 painting at auction to person 2, establishing a high price. Now he has 19 comparable paintings which can be donated to an art museum and get a tax writeoff which is anchored to the priced painting as a comp. Next year the buyer/seller swap roles, so they don't care about the price, they actually want as outrageous a price as possible.

>Now imagine if an artist makes a digital painting. Is that work of art any less meaningful or valuable? Of course not.

Of course yes it is - its less valuable after it is created because copying it costs nothing.

Valuing a work above the creation cost of the work is what the art world certainly does, but replicas of the art are still valuable for being appealing and taking some work to create - a digital version is appealing but takes so little work to create and store that its hard to justify the rest of the collective delusion.

Adding scarcity to non-scarce things is just stupid.

"If I were a Jew today, my sensibilities would be tormented. I would find it increasingly difficult to reconcile the long cycles of oppression that Jewish people have endured and the insatiable appetite for vengeful violence that Israel, my homeland, has now acquired."

It just became “If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing” in the tweets.

I totally agree, personally I want more hierarchy; but user testing with milestones was pretty rough. Vistimo proper (https://www.vistimo.com) is less slick-looking, but has milestones and story-mapping and bugs and enhancements and all kinds of hierarchical organization tools. Most users I've tested with have found Vistimo Quotes' approach easier to pick up and use on existing projects, even if it's less powerful at expressing the full richness of the work.

There are scientific applications for this kind of procedure. If an experiment has a noise source with a known frequency distribution, you can simulate the experiment by generating many thousands of realizations of noise superimposed with your (expected) signal. The variance in your measurement introduced by the noise can be used to assess the systematic uncertainty of the experiment.

For example, in ground-based experiments that measure the cosmic microwave background radiation, there is a substantial foreground noise from the atmosphere that can be modeled as a 1/f distribution. And actually the observations themselves are subject to a random variance (see cosmic variance) due to the fact that we get to observe the early universe from only one point in space. So you can use a similar trick to sample many random realizations of the CMB for given physical constants, and decide if our one-off observation is compatible with the theory.
> that it's on Amazon's server is a side effect of both not caring enough and not knowing how to host it locally.

Those situations happen, but I they're actually a significant minority. For most, how these things work is completely magic. It's not that they don't care, it's that they have no knowledge of how the tool works. They know that they press a button on their phone and their door unlocks, and so are satisfied that it works as intended. That there is anything more to consider isn't on their radar.
I'm not really fond of religion, we don't need it anymore, their purpose was made redundant with our increased standards of living.

> given actual human population/landmass distributions, it appears obviously wrong to say that a random person has a 95% probability of living in a country no more than 20% larger than the home country of a randomly selected person from another country...

You are just refusing to believe statistics has any value. It's just maths, not opinions.

I mean, when we say a fair coin will turn up heads exactly 50% of the time, we mean it in a mathematical way.

Do it 3 times, and you might get 3 tails... based on your argument, the theory should be put into question... but of course it's not how maths works.

Do it 1000 times, and you will see how the normal distribution becomes aparent, with a mean nearly exactly a 0.5. Do it 1 million times, and the mean becomes even more evident... you can keep going on forever, it will ALWAYS become more evident. This is not useless just because it doesn't work after a few times. You can be extremely confident it would work after a large amounts of tries.
> Acknowledgment of race is inherently an essentialist position

No, you can acknowledge race as a widespread social construct, which having been constructed, has material effects that can only be fully discussed by including race. The idea that we can only discuss categories with an essential characteristic is, itself, an incorrectly essentialist idea.

The priorities won't change because the priorities were never stemming from an earnest attempt to represent customer demographics to begin with.

Not only is there no attempt to represent customer demographics on dimensions such as age, but there continues to be rank discrimination against people based on these dimensions, and the people pretending to be in favor of diversity are consistently and conspicuously silent on the matter.
> But ultimately how is that different from the arbitrary rules we use to define which physical object is the "original" and why those arbitrary rules define value.

It's different because the artist actually put their brush on the original canvas, but not the copies. 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_.

The problem I see with NFTs is that the arbitrariness is shifted from deciding which piece has value (original vs copy) to which one is _the original_ (copy A or copy B). They're both copies.
