Let's ignore space, where currently the highly elevated risk is well known to the few participants. If we could undo car and plane crashes, we would do it. We cannot, and my question is whether we want to force the same property on accidents that we currently can safely undo.

Another example: Let's assume ownership of a house is defined by a blockchain. Through a mistake, ownership of your house has been transferred to someone else, or lost to an address with no existing private key. Alternatively, you were in the process of buying a house when the same happened.

Would you be happy with the outcome of this simple mistake being irreversible?

If not, and if you think litigation should retransfer ownership to you, what is the value of an immutable ledger, if the house went to a malicious party who does not intend to perform the transfer on said ledger, or to an address without private key, making transfer not possible in the first place?
Thank you for your reply

So, I pay Wildland USD$100, they spend USD$80 on Google Cloud to provide some "s3" storage, possibly instances or cloud function execution or whatever, and then they give me back GLM$20(??) because ... they want GLM to flourish?

If "a user [were] not dependent upon any one platform," then why would anyone pay Wildland to be in their alleged marketplace? Why wouldn't I buy GLM on coinbase (or wherever folks do that kind of thing, since AIUI PoU means I can't mine them) and then save myself the hassle of paying Wildland for only some percentage of GLM refunded to me?

And all of this talk about our brave new semantic d-web 3.0 future, but until Google Photos or my insurance company lets me "grant" them access to my photos or medical documents or whatever, it's just college dorm talk, IMHO -- who is the target audience for this webpage?

So as a computer programmer with a LinkedIn profile, I can at least empathize a bit: I get an average of 3 job offers a week, even though I haven't really expressed any interest in changing jobs. A lot of these offers would be a major step down for me, and that's pretty clear from my profile. I still feel obligated to take the time to politely decline because I do have some sympathy for the recruiters who are just doing their best, but it's also clear they're just blasting out offers to anybody who meets a basic set of requirements.

That said - I'm much happier being in the position I'm in of too much interest than at the other end of the spectrum.

> Eventually we ended up with a notion that everyone should go to college and this has been buttressed with government support but what if this idea is wrong?

> What if the incentives created lots of university departments that were superfluous, producing nothing that was actually benefitting society.

I would say that those are two completely independent issues, that just look alike because of policy.

Now, about the actual subject, I'm not sure. The knowledge one gets at higher education brings a lot of possibilities too. It's not all signaling. An educated society is supposed to create wealth by itself, and this seems to happen on practice. I would look elsewhere for the origins of our current economic stagnation.
- To begin with existing open source foundations and activists. The Free Software Foundation easily comes to mind.

- In a democracy, political parties - they already are behind most unions and merchant / business associations and even major non-profits.

(Approaching a political party may be controversial for some, but remember that political parties are also an institution in a democracy. And we will need political will and legislative backing to assert some of our rights. And it doesn't matter if there are more than one such organisations - there is no one size fits all solution for everyone).
I suppose they'll inherit the house if it's paid off by then and continue to live as they are for a time. They seem fond of instant ramen, so I guess maybe they're partially prepared. But then again, when the property tax comes due they'll likely not be able to pay it and eventually become homeless after the house proceeds run out. The future seems pretty bleak for them.

Could you explain this a bit more; how does the logic/argument that the problems an immutable blockchain present in this SSO scenario (namely, that it's basically unfixable as a total system) follow that we would never drive cars etc if we continued in that line of thinking?

Cars/planes/rockets seem to be fixable most of the time, or at least we would prefer them to be. (The last one is probably the least-easily fixable, and that is generally considered to be a negative attribute -- something to be mitigated, not celebrated -- and requires careful and even over-engineering because it's so hard/risky to fix a rocket in space.)

Or, perhaps I am completely misunderstanding your point?
Patents and trademarks exist to give designers the ability to reap profits from their creations. If you are not able to patent your design, then either the patent system is not working or whatever was designed or trademarked is not very valuable.
After quick googling I could not find any definitive info about how much taxes top 0.1% pays, but from [3] and [1] above I can assume it's a bit more than 18% of total federal income tax.

> making sure everyone has access to essentials including healthcare

Even in USA with notoriously awful healthcare system pretty much everyone does have access to healthcare. It's expensive and stuff can be improved, but if anything that should reduce public expenses, not increase them.

> severely limit campaign donations, political advertising, lobbying etc

The other side of this coin is political populism. "We'll tax all fat cat businesses to death!" - say politicians. "Oh, Yeah!" - says the crowd. "Fuck you, we quit" - say businesses.

> forced inflation by creating money from thin air, is stealing

That's just your ethical interpretation. Society in aggregate defines what is and isn't stealing, and at the moment we've deemed monetary inflation to be ethically acceptable, and even desirable.

In a way, the use of monetary inflation to transfer wealth could be seen as the realization of a sense that one must continually put one's wealth to productive use in order to deserve it. That means the squirreling away of wealth is stealing. Owning wealth is having the right to allocate society's resources. Clearly, society thinks that right atrophies if not exercised productively.

Indeed. Before safety belts were mandatory, they were optional on many models.
I'd nominate "casual" and "cadaver".

The Latin cadō root had multiple meanings, like "fall", "die" and "decay". So while "cadaver" is obvious, "casual" took a circuitous route of "fall" -> "accident" -> "by chance", and eventually "informal".
That thread is woeful. Why does she feel the need to babble on publically about a job that fell through? Why include the rest of the world in petty woes like this.

If I may ask: which country is this?
Ah. We'll speaking personally, mathematical formalisms & theories sound very intimidating, whereas CA-type simulations are so approachable many are 'fun toys' that kids can enjoy playing with.

A mathematically formal approach does sound potentially more useful, but I'd have no idea how to approach that sort of problem. I speculate that the venn diagram of people who want to work on these types of problems and also have the depth of formal math understanding to actually achieve it is a small handful of people who have plenty of other interesting problems to work on.

Or maybe someone has done this work successfully, but the depth of knowledge required to understand it has prevented wider awareness?
I know someone who used to fit that description quite well and then apparently made it out at some point between 35 and 40. Seems like there is always room for a surprise improvement left.
There's a lot of influential, intelligent people who believe that showing like counts in apps like Instagram are bad for people's mental health. There's other that think that it's actually good for mental health.

If you are a company with such an app, and you care about doing the right thing, how would you figure out whether or not showing those like counts affects users in that way? How would you figure out how to do things in ways that don't affect users negatively?
> If a young main in his 20s is dissatisfied with the dating culture and prospects, it makes some sense to just forget about dating until early 30s and instead use all of that time and freedom to focus on establishing yourself.

This needs to be hugely caveated. If you skip dating for five to ten years, you're gonna jump back in fresh and probably fuck things up terribly the first few times. Too eager, too indifferent, too clingy, too distant, etc... you're gonna be terribly out of practice at it all.

It's a skill, like anything else it takes practice. There's altogether too much BS out there about people being "meant to be" versus people putting in the work on both sides to create something real.

Yeah also if you compare results from google vs duckduckgo for controversial search terms like "I don't care about gender identity"

Google will return only content that tells you why that opinion is wrong e.g. "why you should care about gender identity"

Whereas duckduckgo will return stuff that actually matches your search.

Google always errs on the side of left wing political platform.

Its actually really egregious once you start testing it out. To the point that google actually completely buries really valuable information such as primary sources for controversial events, scientific studies etc and instead promotes shitty wapo articles ans the like that tell you how to think about the thing you are actually searching for.

We just open sourced our VMware plugin so yes, we will support M1 there. Note that VMware Fusion for personal use is now free so you can get that whole setup completely free when its ready.

Beyond that, we're looking into also writing a native Virtualization.framework implementation so you wouldn't need any 3rd party virtualization software at all. For headless Linux VMs we're confident this will work great.

We're also looking at qemu as an option because qemu also offers emulation for x86. Being written in Go, we can bind to qemu natively much more easily.

The point being: there will be multiple options!
Yes, ironically, SEO industry resources can be helpful, and we used them in putting together training data. If you're interested there are some good simple free ones to get started also, like these from Mondovo:

Brave browser uses aggregated search history data that's been anonymized, but we're not trying to personalize results (we're looking for objectively true, rather than "true for you"), so we're not trying to replicate ad-industry style personalization.

Me maybe not, my peers would surely be forced when the big apps move away from the AppStore not because of the commission but because they can get away with shit that Apple doesn’t allow.

Facebook, Google, TikTok w/eTok would move to their own store or to some shell they’ll set up and then move out of the App Store eventually you’ll be surprised how easy it would be for them to move their user base.

If they’ll be able to pull off shit like requiring you to allow location sharing in the background all the time to use the app or force you to share contacts for the app to load which they would definitely be able to do as there would be no policies in place to prevent that that alone would be worth the cost of migrating to their own store even if they’ll lose a few customers…

If you want to side load apps already then just buy a dev account and or use TestFlight there are ways to getting FOSS apps on your phone, it’s just has a buy in cost right now.

Allowing users to do that for free by having to register for a dev account and registering their device might be a good compromise if you really only want to allow side loading for FOSS uses.

I'm not saying that running a test of the two and measuring how it affects users is necessarily the best way, but, honestly, it's not clearly wrong to me.

If you are worried that your current thing is bad for users mental health and that this other approach is better, isn't it, in fact, the morally right thing to check that?
This is basically meditation and I find it very helpful. A cool trick I like is visualizing my thoughts as clouds that spontaneously emerge and pass, letting them disappear forever without remembering what they were, to give place to the blue sky that is the calm mind behind. That is, while you are counting, if a thought emerges, turn it into a cloud and let it evaporate.

I found guided meditation apps like (headspace in particular) nice to get the setup.
They call it prioritizing "authoritative sources" over organic results.
That is beside the point. The US is acting aggressively already as it tries to build bases and send fleets around any country it dislikes for whatever reason. It's not if the US gets involved. It already is involved. To not be aggressive or involved the bases should be closed down and no planes or ships should constantly probe Chinese borders. The US nhas no reason to be there except to get involved. It's exactly the same script as the US used in the cold war with the USSR and you know it. China does a lot of wrong but it is not the one being aggressive to the extreme. If China did what the US is doing we would have WW3 instantly.

as far as i can tell (correct me if im wrong)

Farmers had massive loans that were gold denominated. (dollar backed by gold). The currency was deflationary, and the massive debts were breaking the back of farmers/rural areas.

Adding silver as backing of dollar essentially increases supply of the backing of the currency, creating inflation. which relieves the farmers debts. (pay back less real money)

so the farmers and WJB basically just wanted inflation to relieve their debt load. (and silver interests also obviously backed the idea)

Well, I cannot speak for Tinder, but you have probably seen the stats from the now-deleted OKCupid blogs. I worked in a dating service pre-Intarwebs and the dynamics are almost exactly the same, just lacking only the "instant" factor of the Internet, plus the rather expanded pool. As someone who entered people's "preferences" versus their "must-haves," certain trends emerged. To be politic about it, those trends did not favor men.

Putting too much effort into those messages is a trap I fell into in the past when looking for relationships on dating apps. You've seen a few pics and read a couple sentences of text they typed - you shouldn't read too much into it for your own sake, and you also don't want to look like you're too eager to jump into something way too fast.

I don't think want vs need is as subjective as you say.

I could assert that I need a Maserati and no other vehicle will fit my requirements, and it would be pretty easy for others to counter that either my supposed need is really a want, or the requirements are arbitrary and unnecessary.

Likewise I think your needs regarding crypto are more of a want. What would be the consequence if you didn't get that? Would you die? Would your quality of life significantly decrease? How did you live most of your life already without Bitcoin?
