It's because programmatic access on websites with anything social, or with user generated content, is very strongly correlated with spam, and spam is quite often linked with fraud of various kinds. Like 99%+ of the time if something is posted by a bot outside of any officially provided APIs, it will be unwanted by other users.
Linkedin used to ask you to pay them to view public profiles if you were logged in, but if you logged out you could see the profile just fine since it was public. And there was no limit to that either, didn't need to get there from google etc. Not sure if they still do that.

Ah ok, I misunderstood. You were saying as an example, not as an actual thing you desire them to do.

I think the big issue is just the scale of the market. They _could_ do it with enough funding and manpower, but I think it would cause a Streisand effect in that privacy-centric tokens would become more popular.

It's better for governments to contain it and not appear to be against it so that development focus doesn't shift to Monero-like tokens.

That's a good point. Webkit's opposition to Signed Exchanges (ironically, canonically expressed in an HN comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19679621) means that I'm stuck with AMP for good performance on iOS for the foreseeable future.
8 years ago I was buying from tigerdirect, newegg and overstock. Bitcoin being crippled to only a few transactions per second for the entire world set things back a good amount which was probably a big part of the point in doing it.

I used to work for many extremely wealthy individuals when I was at a firm, and I wouldn't trust any of my clients farther than I could throw them.

I would absolutely trust a random homeless drug addict over the random self-made billionaire. You don't acquire a billion dollars by playing nice, fair, or by the rules, and the norm is for them to treat people as exploitable resources. Being nice is the exception, and generally something only done when it provides some sort of benefit to them to further their exploitative capabilities.
I concede not everyone has the necessary emotional fortitude for the difficulty level of some challenges. It’s an acquired state.

I was asked by management to add Google Tag Manager to the company site. When I saw that GTM included 15-20 tracking scripts I told them that unfortunately we can't include it until we have ensured that all of them act in accordance with GDPR. Legal was involved and agreed. Marketing gave up.

You're technically correct, but people who write pay checks often can be argued with. They often don't want to be on record taking decisions which can cause issues, and legal typically don't want to sign of on including 15MB unknown scripts on your site accepting credit cards.
Well, it's limited in scope as long as they don't intentionally go out of their way to circumvent the ban. UK citizens can still access binance's offering via a VPN, although it is not legal. You can't make the entire executive team non grata because your citizens are using a VPN to access a banned product.

The whole thing with this is it shows how powerless nationstates have become in their ability to regulate these kind of things. Binance has the possibility of being regulated to death, but what about the decentralized derivitives exchange DxDy or Sythetix? Here in the US it is illegal as a retail investor to have more than 3x trading leverage on securities. I can get access to 10x leverage on Sythetix as a retail trader which is technically illegal, but since it's not a security it's in this weird gray area. Even if the US finally starts understanding the possibilities inherent in crypto, they wouldn't be able to stop it even if they brought the whole weight of the US nationstate ontop of it. It's decentralized. You'd have to shut down Eth, Matics, DOT, Solana, Etc. To stop these kind of exchanges. Each of these orgs might have a few people to arrest or point too, but are largely 'Decentralized' and already on the blockchain.
Stay tuned. A lot of the tech behind El Carro can be extracted into a generic controller and serve as the foundation for other databases including Postgres.

But yes, I think it's plausible that other browser makers could allow users to opt in to this sort of data reporting. It would lead to a more equitable web.

I'm also not totally convinced that page performance should play a significant role in rankings in the first place.
For context: keep in mind that the personal computer that Wirth and team built for ETH Zurich, project Oberon, was graphical, but eschewed overlapping windows for a paned interface and didn't buy into the skeuomorphic desktop WIMP metaphor.

So "arbitrarily overlapping windows" and "fancy icons" as "cute but not essential" may be telling, but is probably not telling what you thing it does.
Have you tried Sriraja Panich Sriracha?[1] It's one of the many sauces that claims to be the original Thai version.

>In all my experience with OOP, it's always been inheritance that is the root of all evil.

It's not, though, and the fact that people keep repeating this meme shows that most developers don't even bother thinking about issues they face beyond superficial blamesplaining.

The reason inheritance causes so many issues in languages like Java is because they are statically typed and also use classes as types[1]. Classes must be somewhere in the inheritance tree, hence you are forced into some place of that tree. To make things worse, Java has many keywords that restrict what inheritor of a class can do (private, final, etc).

Inheritance is much less troublesome in, say, Smalltalk, since the language is dynamically typed. If someone expects you to implement Foo, you can (almost always) just implement its relevant methods without explicitly extending the class. Thus, a whole host of annoying scenarios simply does not occur.

[1] BTW, this breaks one of the fundamental commandments of classic OOP: you should not depend on implementation details of an object, only on its message protocol. Obviously, it's impossible to be independent of implementation details if some library forces you to use a particular class.

You can definitely make seitan in your kitchen, I am not disagreeing with anything you're saying though.
The problem here is that the latent firepower can be used in two ways: to help defend the blockchain, or to destroy it. With 62% of hashrate offline, it's entirely possible to buy up the old miners cheaply, wait for complexity to fall, and then use your newly acquired hardware for fun and profit. Bear in mind that the attacks here could be 51% transaction-invalidation, or simply just messing with the complexity (jumping from 25 minutes/block to 3 minutes/block and back again as the system corrects for the changes in hashrate).
I don't think replacing signs would be large line item compared to our foreign wars budget, at any rate, all of that money would flow back into the economy pretty quickly as those workers spent their paychecks.

Even without signage, I imagine word of a new national speed limit would travel *pretty* quickly.
At least on Android, they're not really hiding the option of not using an account as opposed to what microsoft is doing. Probably because most people will use one anyway for the play store.
IBM, in a historic twist of fate, rolled out Macs to their entire fleet unless you opted out. They also said that using Mac, contrary to what you'd expect from the purchase price, saved them buckets of money.

But do engineers actually care?

The most evil companies don't have much troubles hiring great engineers for cash and equity.

When renewable energy companies will offer better pays, and when the ones that destroy our climate won't compete, you'll see engineers switching jobs in flock, to bet on the the next get-rich-quick scheme. I bet this next wave will be about biodiversity, whose collapse might well be worse that climate change (in both impact and timing).

For instance, companies that will provide the tools to expand the footprint over ecosystems as fast as possible, right before society reacts to put limit on the fragmentation of habitats. The ones that will help secure the most space (fragmenting the most) will rip the maximum benefits and pay the most.

Startups building AI tools to support real-estate developer in this space are swarming already.

That list was developed for traditional finance. After messing around with DxDy protocol, i learned that literally all of those point are impossible. Also, how would you shut them down if they don't comply - It's a smart contract on eth. Even if you arrested everyone involved, it 'lives' outside of the reach of the US gov unless you ban all of eth.
You could just as easily say the opposite though?

It's a pattern I've been noticing a lot lately. It is very tempting for a person who sees a problem to assume it is a political problem, because then it has a political solution. Unfortunately most of the biggest problems are not political problems, they are engineering problems for which there are only engineering solutions.

Geoengineering is not off the table. Reducing or blocking total sunlight by 1% can have dramatic changes to any global warming. Other techniques also exist.

I think people seriously underestimate what engineering can accomplish. They also over-estimate what politics can accomplish.... The climate change deals we were talking about were hundreds of billions of dollars, which can buy quite a lot of R&D.

Besides, if we have any chance of surviving as a multi-planetary species for billions of years, we need to know how to do terraforming.

While we don't often look at it that way, each PR has a cost associated with it. If its job code and I spend an hour going over the changes, that's an hour of cost and the org is aware that reviewing PRs is part of my responsibilities and I get paid for that.

For open source projects, when someone submits a PR, that cost of time is done by volunteers. For larger projects, reviewing even a "trivial" PR could incur a few hours of work by the reviewers and maintainers. For a non-trivial PR, this is even more of an investment of time by the maintainers.

I'm not trying to say "don't contribute" but rather "be mindful of other people's time."

The "students should contribute to open source projects" and similar "have a class go and contribute to Wikipedia" or "have a class ask and answer Stack Overflow questions" pushes the responsibility of reviewing that material out to volunteers.

The costs of Hacktoberfest and similar "contribute to open source" as a KPI for some organizations are very hard to calculate - but they're there and should not be ignored. This cost is increased when the person is doing it as a one off contribution rather than ongoing as, again, the costs of onboarding the contributor to the workflow for the project is borne by volunteers.
Then start a website that doesn't try to identify and or block bots and rake in the cash from this user benefit.

My own experience briefly running sites - bot traffic is 100% trash on almost every metric. Actual conversions, spam, click fraud, other fraud (spam talking about work from home), privacy violations (trying to scrap all user profiles, capturing deleted user content etc).
Erlang was begun in 1986. It left the lab and was used for production products first in 1996. The Pentium 4 came out in 2000.

Well, engineers created the.. engines, which burn the fossil fuels and that led to climate change, no ?
The USD or practically all fiat currencies are an abstraction over barter. Obviously they are only worth as much as we all collectively believe, but that belief is anchored by what the currency primarily is used for, which normally is obtaining goods and services. That's not intrinsic but relatively stable, and central banks try to steer things in a stable way.

Meanwhile BTC currently only serves as an abstraction over fiat currencies. It's practically only exchanged from and to fiat currencies, and that's not stable, as popularity is then the only mechanism dictating the price. BTC is much more like gold this way than the dollar.
I guess. I stopped going to SF back in 2015 because of how pathetic the city was _back then_ and I've heard from numerous friends who have left the place, pushing south to SV/San Jose, out to Davis and Sacramento, or even leaving the state entirely over the last 6 years that it's only gotten worse.

Who isn't being honest here?
It was 46C here yesterday and I took my car without A/C out for an errand. The day before I enjoyed a motorcycle ride in similar weather. It can be done, but I don’t think the hvac is nearly as distracting as fiddling with a phone or even the radio since it’s more of a set-and-forget control.
Why 'nuclear batteries' offer a new approach to carbon-free energy
That’s one way yes, that called precart. That’s a common but less sophisticated method than what’s available
It only becomes politically viable if the engineering (and therefore monetarily, etc) viable.

“Vasectomies for everyone, and you have to wear a hair shirt and abandon your house to live with 20 other people in an area dense enough for you to walk to your job, which is harvesting potatoes from an urban organic farm fertilized with human feces” is one possible solution to stopping climate change, but it isn’t politically viable.

“Your truck is electric now, and your electricity comes from wind, nuclear, and solar power, including on the roof of your existing home. You travel via High Speed Rail or electric airplane. Steel is made using hydrogen. You use cutting edge low-latency satellite Internet to telecommute. We figured out how to reduce emissions of cattle using seaweed supplements.”

…is politically viable. So engineering is necessary for the amount of feasible political capital we have to be spent on climate action.

Engineering is essential to enabling political action.

>I believe there are only 4 addresses with more than 100,00BTC each. Satoshi is 1. I believe Bitfinex is 3.

The flaw in your analysis is that you assume that there's a one to one relationship between an address and a person. This is not the case because a typical bitcoin wallet has hundreds of addresses and address reuse is discouraged. Therefore your conclusion that bulgaria is the nth largest bitcoin holder in the world because there are are only n addresses with balances larger than it is incorrect.
These are neither the engineering nor political problems at the core of climate change, however.

The biggest, at least in the US, is land use and allowing housing to be built close to jobs, in multi-use zoning, that allows people to go about their day without a car. That's the political third rail that even environmentalists fear to touch. Suburbia is unsustainable and we must allow more urbanization, and that will make all the rest of the challenges far easier than even stopping population growth. Because urbanized populations consume far less resources, need far less carbon even with current technologies. And it will make the transition to renewables much easier.

Meat is an order of magnitude less impact than our bad land use, at least in the US.

And nuclear is a lost cause. Even if we double our construction rate every year, it's not going to catch the tail of storage, solar, and wind in the time span we need to shift off carbon. And our current nuclear fleet is aged and ready to be decommissioned, even replacing our current nuclear fleet would require huge growth in an industry that doesn't know how to complete projects, much less scale and get cheaper. This is not a political problem, it's an industry problem.

Population growth, similarly, isn't much related to our immediate climate action. We need static change in the next two decades, and telling everybody that there are no more kids entering the workforce in order to actually execute this transition would be disastrous. Say no more children are born for the next 20 years, and population drops, I don't know, 20%. I don't see that she distribution being set up to tackle the future challenges of the world. Population growth is already peaking, and the best thing to accelerate that is to industrialize the high population growth countries with green industries, and urbanize their populations.
So the solution sounds like we need more engineers in political power, or to decentralize political power away from those who specialize in obtaining it?

To me, all problems are technical. You could probably fit most political problems in game theory.

The declaration is noble but it feels too much like an almost mythical unifying spirit that pushes humanity to some perceived enlightened perfection. To be fair the previous enlightenment suffered that same problem. Individuals will pursue matters that satisfy both the real and perceived needs. The desire to push humanity towards more noble intentions is good but needs to factor the human level.
