I’ll add one more comment as a person who once worked on something similar to this. It looks like lots of people were working on “location based tweeting” around 10 years ago.

It makes sense as around that time Twitter was growing fast and location based services like Foursquare and Gowalla were popular. As well as Google/Niantic Ingress.

Our iteration was based on the concept of “shouts” that had a location and a visibility radius. Reshouts would increase the radius further.
But ownership of anything is always dependent on something else. People can steal physical items from you. You can tell the police and maybe they'll return the item to you. But what if the police steal the item from you? These scenarios do not demonstrate that the notion of ownership is absurd.
Oh, boy! Time for everyone to bash on crypto. For me, the proof of NFT validity is the fact that for more than 10 years people have been pouring money into owning video game assets, when most of the time those assets are non-transferrable to other users let alone to other games. In a purely digital world (aka a video game), purely digital assets and purely digital ownership clearly make sense.

One might say that a company could come along and provide the authority and trusted infrastructure to handle transferring digital assets across games and users, but let's draw a parallel to the real world. What if every time you wanted to sell something, you had to sell it on Amazon. You couldn't just give someone cash for it, or put it up on Craigslist. Blockchain tech lets people trustlessly transfer assets and have full digital ownership over a digital asset.
Whiteness is a social construct, you're absolutely right. It's one that our society and institutions consistently reward, though.

Maybe the Irish person is the first guy's roommate or spouse - they didn't directly inherit the free water from their direct ancestors, but they're still getting free water from next door.
Yeah my workflow on my last 3d game required 'layers' in the texture so I had to set up that layering in the shader, rough spray the general idea of what I wanted onto the model, export everything, edit the textures in Gimp to make it look good instead of fingerpainty and flatten them.

Also, the way UV editing selection works is rough. If you don't have a face selected in the model, it simply does not show up in the UV. The UV has its own selection. So in order to single out a part of the UV based on a set of faces you need to first select the faces, remember where in the UV map they live, then select the whole model again, then select the UV points again.
The crypto market has a tendency to get way ahead of themselves. I am in the NFT space, and yes, we all realize this (well, most of us). What the haters don't realize is that a market can exist without them. The market doesn't need you to validate it. If people attribute value to something then that's the value. Period. Pokemon card collectors don't care that you think that Pokemon cards are stupid. That said, there will certainly be digital houses of cards built that do fall.

There are many terrible problems with NFTs, and a lot of these problems are being worked on. The initial hype could not possibly last. It was fueled by crypto zealots and people that want to get rich.

I also believe there is a lot of long term value to be had, but in order to realize that long term value the NFTs will need to deliver actual intrinsic value to the NFT owner. Some examples of this may be: an NFT that unlocks access to special content, and NFT that also serves as a DAO to determine future art created, an open world (metaverse) that tracks ownership of digital goods using NFTs. All of these things already exist, of course, but the decentralization part is what makes it new and different. The future we see is creators not relying on Apple, Amazon, or other massive corps to control their content, to put much more of that control into their hands. Same with the purchaser's of said content. Transparent, trusted, interoperable, verifiable transactions.
"SS is paid for by higher wages"

Social Security taxes are capped at the first $142k earned. Any income beyond that is exempt from the tax, which means that the top end of wages provide nothing to the program. Those income earners also happens to be the ones who can most afford an additional tax burden.
My initial reaction was to agree with you, but based on my reading of the law I actually have to support the majority opinion: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1030#e_6

(6) the term “exceeds authorized access” means to access a computer with authorization and to use such access to obtain or alter information in the computer that the accesser is not entitled so to obtain or alter;

The language here is relatively narrow. Nathan did "access a computer with authorization", and he didn't obtain information that he was "not entitled so to obtain or alter".

He may have obtained it for a purpose that was expressly forbidden by the department policy, but he was permitted to obtain the information in and of itself. To qualify as being "under circumstances that were expressly forbidden", I think it would have to be a situation wherein he wasn't allowed to obtain the information in general, e.g. if he were only allowed to access it within certain hours or with a superior present.

It's like the difference between giving someone your phone (which, for the sake of argument, qualifies as a "protected computer" in this scenario) and telling them that they can go through your photos so long as they don't take out their own phone and photograph any of them, and telling them that they can only open your photos while you're watching.

It would be extremely rude in either case to secretly take your phone and exfiltrate your photos — and may even still be a crime in and of itself (and/or lead to follow-on crimes) — but I wouldn't consider the former to violate this particular law.

That could be the dictionary definition of the opposite of end-to-end encryption. Since the claim is that it will be e2ee, I'd assume they at least make an attempt to meet the definition and subvert it in some other way.
GP meant 5 orders of magnitude below "20 ms". 20 ms is a lot of time.

DOE labs' default open source policy from 2004 [pdf]
So we have 50 total out of thousands, if not millions of potentially negative police interactions.

You can't build a system of robots without some fault-tolerance. How are humans supposed to keep up to that?

Based on this data - how can you make the assumption that a police interaction is an inherent risk to life that is always unjustified?

We mostly pay police to show up and be generally aggravating to people who might be doing bad stuff - in some sense "being sketchy in the vicinity" is a valid reason for police action, which doesn't even always turn into an arrest, let alone a life-or-death situation. Those cases are the vast minority of police interactions total.
However, probably one or two cities in China would have more population than all of Austrailia

> You can't do any of those things with a NFT.

Some quick googling, apologies if I'm wrong, says this comic book is worth 3.2 million dollars: https://viewcomics.me/action-comics-1938/issue-1/full

And yet it would seem I can read it right there on the internet for free, and can surely get framed prints of individual pages much cheaper than 3.2 million dollars, and I can get kindling much cheaper than 3.2 million dollars. You can point at those things as properties it has that an NFT doesn't. But those things aren't what's making it worth 3.2 million dollars

It's worth 3.2 million dollars because someone trusts that it's worth 3.2 million dollars to other people. Value like this is an exercise in group trust that has had to build up over time. It's not actually a property of the functionality of the object
How much of the declining birth rate is due to lack of security? As an urbanite with their first kid I can say we only plan to have one. Even with 2 tech jobs childcare, housing, college and other expenses mean that having 2 kids would make us fret over bills and start to ignore retirement.

All of these expenses share the same trait that they are influenced by interest rates and nominal prices.
Presumably the bronze sculpture was still produced with the authorization of the artist in a limited series and thus still represents their original work and intent. I think the key difference is that viewing a sculpture doesn't implicitly grant me a perfect replica of said sculpture that I would be free to save, duplicate, and even mint my own NFT for were I so inclined. Digital objects are not scarce in the way that physical objects are.
No, we are talking about copying the underlying asset, not the NFT. If you could 3-D print any physical object perfectly down to the atom, the collectibility of the original item would be hurt a lot. If there were potentially infinite perfect copies of a Ferrari GTO, the prices would crash. Having a document that says "this Ferrari GTO is the original" would be what NFTs are today

I worked on a website builder of my own a while back. I had a similar issue of finding customers and eventually shut the thing down. The problem is that there’s just too much good competition, so you really have to distinguish yourself in a big way. There’s also a network effect I didn’t anticipate - people want to use the popular service, or the one their friend recommended. Your product is unfortunately not the type of thing that’s compared side by side to alternatives - if it was, your features would matter more. But they don’t, because that’s not how people decide to use these types of services. If I were you I’d find a small target market and go crazy with that group. Maybe make it a website builder for only doctors or something. Get your target group to love it and recommend it amongst themselves, and then you can grow from there. Just being another website builder in a sea of website builders, though - that’s tough. I’ve tried that and I wouldn’t recommend it. It can work if you’ve got a massive marketing budget, or are head and shoulders above the competition, or have VC dollars, but it doesn’t seem like you have those on your side.

Good luck with whatever you do! My email’s in my profile if you have any ideas or questions.
> You are attributing a lot of intention into a mechanism. You don't know if it's a [...] or [...]

Interestingly, I think this remark is a signal that you've read something out of my comment that's just not there (and thus attributing a lot more intention to me than you should).

> The resource is not that important to me.

These are a class of resources that are important enough that folks would pause what they are doing to try and deliberately mark it with a magic incantation that they expect will cause the user agent to do something, notice that it doesn't do the thing that they want it to do, and then go and either write a blog post to complain about it, or throw their support behind someone else's complaints it. The argument that you don't find it particularly important is pretty much self-defeating.
> Seconded. I see no point in "buying" media from stores where my account can be terminated immediately. If I bought an NFT token that encodes the right to use some copyrighted work, this issue doesn't exist.

As usual, you don't need a blockchain to do either of the two things you're talking about. For the copyright case, what matters is that you have a legal authorization which will be recognized by a court. An NFT can do that but so can an email or anything else — and the problem you're trying to avoid is a concern either way because the same people who require terms of use for their content aren't going to reverse course due to magical thinking advised by blockchain salespeople.

The secondary problem of unreliable cloud storage is similarly very expensively not solved by an NFT. Due to the inherent inefficiency of blockchains almost all NFTs point to a URL for the actual payload. If that hosting provider shuts down or restricts access, you have the same problem as you do now. Now, some people will say that IPFS solves this but if you've thought about the problem at all that is only a solution for content which is very popular and released under an open license: someone has to pay for the storage, even the few people willing to provide storage unpaid aren't going to do so for encrypted content which they can't access, and nobody who cares about access restriction is going to put it in a public blockchain anyway since they'd be one key leak away from the content being available without payment.
I had to retake the first calculus class. Didn't have much to do with the difficulty of the material, but rather a professor doing things that would get him pulled from the classroom in 2021. Just one of the many things he'd do is call on someone to answer a question during the class. If he didn't like the answer he'd tell them they were lazy or that they should quit college.
Yeah, the way the problem is formulated though there’s absolutely no indication that order matters so how are there two configurations within which there’s 1 boy and 1 girl?
Managing technical debt at an agile company
Here's where this analogy falls apart.

The real value in having an authentic painting comes from the history of the piece, that it is the same canvas and pigments that were touched by the (famous/reclusive/dead) artist (or at least one of their assistants)

The same could be said of any museum piece. There is a weight and responsibility attached to that physical item that is carried with it.

With an NFT, the digital asset you hold can never convey anything tangible about the creative process and history of the work; it's not like owning that unveils the PSD file and Youtube livestream of the artist at work with their Cintiq. The stream of bits is the stream of bits. Everyone gets access to the same stream of bits, except one person gets to wear a special hat while they look at them.

It's like you started with a print or reproduction of the masterwork, but on a new canvas. Like you're saying this is print #00001, and you get to have that specific one. Sort of.

So really it's not at all the same.

They're already working on deploying 350kW 500 amp charging stations. That's about 5 minutes to get 100 miles, and the cables are a bit awkward but not too bad. And 500kW 500 amp is easily accomplished on the same standards.

Also keep an eye on potential 2-3 megawatt plugs for trucks.

I would imagine drag increases linearly or exponentially with speed - not as a step function once you cross the sound barrier.

Or are you saying because it's going to be flying twice as fast?
That's the strategy of McDonald's corporate, not the mom and pop franchises. Franchisees do not own the land the franchise is on. The McDonald's corporation buys the land and leases it to the franchisee.

"McDonald’s owns thousands of iconic pieces of real estate around the globe. From New York City’s Times Square to Moscow’s Red Square, McDonald’s has ventured around the world, buying up prime real estate. Franchisees pay McDonald’s a cut of their food sales, but a much larger portion of McDonald’s revenue comes from the rent it’s paid on its real estate. After all, rent in Times Square isn’t cheap, but a Big Mac is.

McDonald’s still takes a royalty on its franchisee’s sales but enjoys a much fatter revenue stream from the leases on nearly 33,000 franchisee-owned restaurants." - https://1851franchise.com/why-is-mcdonalds-considered-a-real...
I'm uncertain that this stress on workers and productivity is the right metric today. With explosive growth in automation, factories have few or no workers. And Engineer productivity is already astronomical.
I don't understand your point. Someone could physically coerce you to transfer ownership of an NFT to them, just like they could with any physical item you own. You could try to use the legal system to get your item back, regardless of whether it's an NFT or a physical item. There's no centralized database for a lot of physical property that you own, and yet the legal system can still determine ownership. What is unique about NFTs here?
Most Tesla superchargers will charge from 0-80% in 20-30 minutes. There's no need for anyone to spend hours in their car charging.
My experience is the opposite. Gitlab has a lot of features but they are all half-baked. Ever time I try out a feature, I feel like I get bit for doing so.

A couple of cases

- At first child pipelines couldn't access artifacts from the parent job. Now you can opt-in to it but nothing enforces sequencing

- Some features only work with "needs" (getting parent pipeline artifacts) while others only work without it (depending on an entire stage)

- When a job you "needs" doesn't exist, instead of having a sane behavior (e.g. skip yourself), the pipeline errors. Correctly propagating and maintaining all of the rules correctly in a moderately complex pipeline is ... difficult.
You could argue the certificate is the art, and self referencing art ain't new. René Magritte wants his pipe back.
It's repotred as debunked by a biased source.

If you actually look at the evidence, you will realise it is not debunked. If youtube hasn't pulled the video, they go through the evidence in a hearing in front of the Georgia State Legislature.

Many of them originally doubt the evidence, believing it to be den=bunked as reported in the media. After seeing the evidence, they are appalled at the deceit of the election officials.

The power structures that be wish to ignore it, but like like Galileo being confident in his findings against a biased establishment Catholic Church, the truth will come out.

The role of university is exactly to teach you the language of math, or at least enough that you can get more by yourself. If your professors spent all the time talking only about concrete examples, you would be completely at a loss about why math is like it is, from the point of view of the untrained person it would be just cargo cult. So, math is hard, but the university has the responsibility to teach it (at least the introductory material) to as many people as possible.

I find it more substantial than the NFTs that seem to be all the rage.
I will address this in the spirit with which it was intended.

Cancellation, back then, was largely top-down, driven by kings and popes. The current form of cancellation emerges from below, pressuring larger organizations to fire people and denounce them. And as I have mentioned elsewhere in this, those calling for cancellation derive increased status when their attempts succeed.

It's a bit more equivalent to witch hunt mania than papal disapproval.
You're conflating vastly different things. You still own something even if you don't physically have it. The concept of ownership is granted by the by the laws we are governed by.

Everything else is just recording those facts and transactions. That's why you can transfer ownership by writing it down on paper. NFTs are just fancy electronic documents. It's just paperwork.
Excellent point!

But it's not a rhetorical strategy just used by Zionists and the far right. Zionists, as you say, wish to conflate Jews with Israel, so that any criticism of the latter will appear to be an attack on the former. Anti-Semites wish to conflate Israel with all Jews so that criticism of the former can be made to be an attack on the latter.

It's a mess.
I think what telsa could do that other restaurants couldn't compete with is:

Allow people to remain on the charger - even if complete - while they are inside eating. No idle fees.

maybe a little unethical, like ISPs that allow their TV services to bypass their data cap.

EDIT: explanation - Tesla allows you to supercharge, but wants you to move your car promplty when charging completes. To prevent people from abusing the limited resource they charge per-minute "idle fees" for people that let their car sit in a spot without charging.
I'd love that as well, but research projects are very very very different from actual huge contracts. Especially with how politically engineered supply chain has to be in USA. And changing that isn't technical challenge - it's political one, and no one will dare to do it.
One of the things my wife and I like about having a Tesla is that it often can settle the where-to-eat question, or at least narrow it down. If we're passing by a charger the answer is whatever is in walking distance of the charger (usually it's in some strip mall). I think we kind of prefer that there's no branded restaurant attached, it's always a bit different what we go to in that case.
