> From peercoin (first pos coin) whitepaper: "Roughly speaking, proof-of-stake means a form of proof of ownership of the currency."

Just because a whitepaper says something doesn't mean it's has held up to peer review.

> From the same whitepaper: "The protocol for determining which competing block chain wins as main chain has been switched over to use consumed coin age. Here every transaction in a block contributes its consumed coin age to the score of the block. The block chain with highest total consumed coin age is chosen as main chain."

Consumed coin age is not provable by looking at the chain--it's only provable by polling the network for consensus.

> I mean, looking at it it seems that your main complaints were actually addressed some 9 years ago in the first PoS whitepaper.

I mean, looking at it it seems you didn't read the first paper I linked, or indeed much of the literature on proof of stake which has been written in the last 9 years.
Depression seems to have different underlying causes in different people. What works for someone might not work for someone else. And how long to stay on medication varies from person to person. Especially if they have recurring depression.
Oh sorry to clarify 2018 is when my partner got their most recent Apple device which will be able to run this update fine - our previous device is a Retina iPad from 2012. Re-reading my wording yea, I can see how that read as hyperbolic, sorry about that!
The portfolio/social signalling reason is a tiny part of actual Github/Gitlab use. Most people and companies use these platforms to do their actual work and write software. So no - they're not even close to being a fad. If the social signalling part isn't useful to you, just ignore it - that's what most other developers do too and most of them are doing fine without it.

Hey
Sup
There's a difference between a billionaire generating yield on their money by investing and taking risks vs the Fed just sending them x% of freshly printed money because they are already a billionnaire.
Twitter is about the worst platform I've seen. It's worse than all the "chan" websites and I don't know how they are allowed to continue.

The only major difference I can see between the two are the political and ideological opposites. On the chans it's A-OK to post about wiping out some "inferior race", while on Twitter wiping out or mistreating men is accepted. All kinds of kink porn is easily found on Twitter (which was a big surprise), people confess to crimes, harass each other, dox and send death threats to "the other side", spread fake news, falsely accuse each other with real world consequences, and so much more. Yet somehow, Twitter is a standard app on devices, newspapers, governments, underage kids and grandpas use it.

Is it just money?
A lot has changed since then
I’m not sure this is a completely fair take, I think the original question is legitimate and relevant. Github’s TOS does in fact ask the contributor to grant a license for GH to host and serve their code from GH servers. That is both reproduction and distribution as defined by copyright law, and copyright covers both of those at the same time https://www.copyright.gov/what-is-copyright/

(Edit and BTW GH calls out their ‘distribution’ in section D.4 of their TOS explicitly, but without using the word “distribute”. They say you grant them the right to “publish” and “share” code you upload, which means “distribute” under copyright law. They also imply that by spelling out the terms under which they do not “distribute”, which is anytime the content is used outside of GitHub’s services.)

I don’t think you’re correct that the term “redistribution” means either going into another product, nor that it implies a claim of ownership. Putting works into another product is sometimes known as making a derivative work, while “redistributing” is quite commonly used to mean copy-and-distribute as-is. Redistribution can happen via license as well, it requires permission by the copyright owner, but does not imply the redistributor is (or is claiming to be) the copyright owner.
Hey ! I had too some panic attacks some months before being dad. I ended twice in the hospital for panic attacks. Just think how is this ridiculous. I, too, am always tired and a little lost in my life.

But I want to reassure you : even with this context, you’ll enjoy being a parent. That’s fucking exhausting but incredibly rewarding.

Oh, and good news, being a parent triggers an automatic filter on things in your head : you’ll soon stop to even give a f about everything not really important that bothers you today.
This is a real problem for my device - I essentially can't download any "new" software since the app store only appears to make versions incompatible with the newest OS available - and my device (a 2012 iPad 4 Retina to be precise) refuses to update past iOS 10.3.3
Another way to say this, is that the adaptation over time to exercise is what gives the benefit.
We don't need to. We can fork it, remove the spyware parts, and fix the license compliance issues (the newer terms of use are incompatible with the license).
If you know anything about it:

- Do you think the shipping culture has lower standards about working together, as catastrophes are less traumatic and thus, there is much less public pressure into having clean responsibilities?

- Do you think the shipping industry would benefit from the pilots’ CRM, a mandatory training introduced in the 1970 to better manage moods and teamplay between pilots?
The crazy thing is that this is a full text search of sorts, not pre-structured Wikidata.

Interesting. Thank you for correcting me. Can you install multiple versions this way? My colleagues are suffering with that and I'd prefer not to move them from Homebrew if avoidable.
"Started happening" - nothing severe has happened yet, though. And coastal regions often have other issues than rising sea levels. For example land sinking because too much water has been pumped from the wells. Also human settlements are probably expanding, at times into places that were not fit for building to begin with.

The places with "wet bulb temperature" probably are uninhabited already. Such places have always existed (death valley perhaps an example in the US).

I don't claim climate doesn't change, just the dramatic downsides don't seem to happen somehow.
> and it would output music that I could control to be very much or even exactly like the original recordings, or I could accidentally do it, that it wouldn’t really be a way to launder the original licenses/copyright into the public domain.

The test for non-literal copyright infringement is "substantial similarity." If, after filtering out irrelevant and non-copyrightable elements, the allegedly-infringing work is substantially the same as the original work, then it infringes. If it infringes, then two common defenses are independent creation and fair use.

In your hypothetical, the AI-generated work would infringe the original because you stated it would be substantially the same as the copyrighted work. You can't claim independent creation because the algorithm was dependent on the original work and you controlled the output of the algorithm to be exactly like the original work. Fair use is pretty much a non-starter, so I'll skip that analysis.

So, no, you couldn't use an AI to launder copyrighted works into the public domain.
I've been using SoX [0] to edit my ringtones and other simple audio files. CLI FTW! Not only can you start, stop, and splice at precisely the right time, but you can adjust tempo, compress and expand dynamic range, all sorts of other things that don't create audio but make it sound better.

I stated that for certain kind of projects it does make sense to use GitHub and similars. My point is mainly about people like me that publish their half-baked code online. I did it because I heard that GitHub was cool; so at least for me it's a fad. I wonder if other devs like me are in a similar position.

> The portfolio/social signalling reason is a tiny part of actual Github/Gitlab use

How so? Are there any numbers about this?
Perhaps I write a bot to analyze the distribution of GitHub repositories in terms of stars, forks, #issues, #PRs and can come up with some numbers to back up my hypothesis. I'll publish the code... on my website :)
> I - the creator - will make nothing.

Did you benefit from reading code in your education? Pass it forward! You will benefit many people, don't cut the rope under you. And in turn you will also get the same benefit, and adapted to your needs.
Excuse me? You want those music producers to move from their whole OS (Windows or Mac) to something even less familiar than Linux? I don't think that is going to happen, and it's highly unlikely.

I think they'll won't care to move and continue with Audacity or just pay for the Ardour binary for either Windows or Mac and that's that.

> Except you won't because you'll have to wait so long to be able to use the old coins that you'll miss the window of opportunity.

What "window of opportunity"? Ostensibly these coins will remain valuable far into the future, and therefore the ability to spend them twice will also remain valuable.

If you have the ability to mint blocks, you can use include signed transactions from the real chain to unstake and build majority on nodes you control.

I would discourage you from responding on this topic until you've read the first paper I linked, as you have not said anything that wasn't addressed in that paper.
But nowhere does the page make the claim that we don't know! It only says that it's not a trivial question, and that there was a time that we didn't have a good explanation for that. Like we used to not have a good explanation for gravity or illnesses or earthquakes or what have you. It gives the best explanation that we have which is also overwhelmingly likely to be true given the evidence but of course there's never anything that we can actually prove in science, so in the interest of pedagogy it doesn't outright say that we know.

Anyway, as I said, the page is from 2002 and many things have happened in cosmology since then. Indeed there are things that we didn't know back then but are now pretty sure about.
The Atlantic has consistently done a good job of balancing perspectives, at least along certain axes. They were the first mainstream/prestige publication I can recall that dared to criticize the illiberal swing the left was taking, during a period when there was quite a chilling effect around doing so (with Haight's Coddling of the American Mind article, in 2015).

They're exactly the publication I'd expect to publish something that breaks with the groupthink infecting the rest of the industry.

Nothing against staking, but you and many other posters ITT are creating a blatant false equivalence between button-clicking and datacenter-construction. It’s not beyond the pale quite yet — we’ve all seen far worse from cryptocurrency promoters over the years — but you’re leaving open minded third parties little choice but to interject.

When’s the last time a billion dollar staking operation had to build multiple mining datacenters and fill them with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of hardware? That’s just not required for staking. It just isn’t. They’re not equivalent operations. Not in any way. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

Why do you have life goals?
I can only speculate as to the reason. I think largely it's genetic, as my father has sleep issues (though his are not mental; he has sleep apnea, which I have been negatively tested for multiple times) and severe depression. However, his depression was triggered by a particular event, and I haven't experienced anything similar.

I think besides my sleep problems and potential genetic predisposition, my way of thinking tends to have a higher incidence of mental illness. I am very logical and driven, and I'm a perfectionist. I walk into a situation and if people aren't being led by a strong leader, I become that leader. I care way too much about quality and work too hard on teaching others to meet my quality standards. I actively recognize that these things are holding me back (in as much as they've also made me successful), but I don't know how/have the will to change them.

My depression began before I properly entered the workforce, and has just been worsening from there. I left my last FAANG position because I was running waaaaay too much and was the single point of failure; I had hoped that it was just that environment that was killing me. Now that I'm at a position I like much more, I'm still experiencing the same mental issues, however, and they've worsened...
I'm still not sure what you're saying, you're still downloading the source from an external website on the internet, which I would expect would have a privacy policy, and would do things like comply with the GDPR. And presumably, the ports collection is getting the original source from upstreams, which could be on github or a similar service, so you can't sidestep that if you want to maintain your own ports tree.

It absolutely does have to do with analytics: in particular, Debian has an opt-in anayltics system called "popcon" which is mentioned in the privacy policy.

Exactly -- which is the case here. But implementing such a cross cutting implementation would probably be annoying, which is what I wanted to convey with

> I think they could concievably assume that the value of modulus won’t be changed in this case, since we’re producing an executable directly, but it’s probably annoying to have an optimization looking so far into the future of the compiler pipeline.
Same. I keep my Twitter feed extremely on topic of what I enjoy/want and it's a great experience as a result. Anything proud gets culled via muting specific keywords or unfollowing.

Just throwing another tip out there: if you're finding yourself having to model anything mildly nonlinear, but find yourself shackled by the linearity constraints of a Mixed Integer Program (MIP), you can use a statistical/ML technique called MARS [1] to regress a piecewise-linear model from your nonlinear data to approximate said nonlinear function. MARS models are essentially models with constant or max functions as basis functions, e.g.

y = a₀ + a₁ max(0, x − b₁) + a₂ max(0, x − b₂) + ...

max(0,x) functions are very easy to model in MIPs.

Try realtime mixing and recording of 32 tracks with added software effects and MIDI sync. Ardour is industrial studio console software. Nothing to do with Audacity.
Isn't that also what proof of work is? I mean, it is far easier for me, a non wealthy person, to stake some pos coin than to mine some bitcoin.
I see way too many of the top comments post rosy pictures .. "once I had a comfortable retirement funded ...". I want to point out that this isn't a sure thing for most people (even in software). So pls don't get depressed if you are 40+, don't have laurels from your youth, comfortable savings, or feeling more lost than you have ever been. You are not alone.
You can't write a bot to do this because most of that work happens in private repositories or on entirely separate enterprise instances.

While semiconductors are a very important part of industry, it's naive to think that a loss of Taiwanese output would be as disastrous as this article suggests.

Consider the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, they are much larger than any such loss would have, yet this pandemic didn't have any acute large-scale effect on geopolitics (though it will like have a longer-term, and some what unpredictable effect).

A much larger long-term effect of China's ambitions towards Taiwan would likely be seen in China's growing economic might resulting in a shifting of alliances/allegiances of East Asian countries between the US and China.
SEEKING WORK | Brazil, GMT -3 | Remote |

| Filmmaker | Video Editor |

Hello! My name is Cristhal and every day that I have a new video project is a happy day. I really love my work!

I have been filming and editing videos for more than 5 years now. When working on my videos I really try to look at the "big picture", trying to create sensations and pass beauty, desires and emotions. I think I achieved a unique way to edit my videos, where everything is connected and the result feels very real and natural.

I'm super responsive. I also speak Portuguese. I'm on GMT-3 timezone.

Here are some examples of my work:

So thank you for reading this. Hope we can work together, bye!
I got the feeling she wanted to write something pithy in response to current events (understandable as she's a good writer), but it was eating up her time. She mentions the site effectively stopped her reading books.

It's also bizarre that people need to share every private thought and action with the world. An author died and she re-read their book. How much of that impulse stemmed from a inform the public about it?
I have always had pretty similar loosely defined goals. I've always wanted to have my own family (check), get money (check), and have enough time to read, play with my computers, and mess around online (check). As I get older, I also want to move back to live near my parents and siblings and focus on health and longevity.
She cites githubs smallest excerpt claim for her reasoning when we already know that the tool happily reproduces entire functions with comments verbatim.

Also her claims about machine generated code have a really funny interaction with the cp command. Clearly cp MicrosoftWindows11Source.zip FreeWindows.zip is not a creative process, cp is a command executed by a machine hence the contents of FreeWindows.zip are now entirely public domain. Man were was she when people where sued over creating entire libraries of public domain movies using BitTorrent?
Does anyone use Ardour for their audio work? Always heard great things about it.
I look at it a bit more like Tinker Bell: meaning may only exist while you believe in it, but that doesn't make it not real. When you believe in it without picking it apart, it's as real as can be. So let yourself.

Indeed, you're right. I have edited my post. My point was about all the non-enterprise usage of GitHub.
Glad we've come to the conclusion that things I didn't say aren't true!

What I actually said is, "[I]f you're only connected to two nodes and those two nodes are showing you two different spends of the same balance, you have no way to resolve that conflict. In PoW (a real proof algorithm) you simply look at the longer chain."

You're correct that this isn't a proof of consensus.

I just turned 34.

My professional goals have become a lot more ambitious. My network has grown and the things I thought were unachievable are being achieved by my friends. Everything feels a lot more within reach.

I have become a lot more forward thinking and can now plan and work towards goals over longer time spans.

I'm thinking about what I have to accomplish in the next 3 years to set myself up even more momentum going into my 40s.

I have become a lot more dedicated to fitness. I can clearly feel the effects of aging. The absolute best case scenario is I live to be an old man. If that's my fate, I want to have the highest quality of life, for as long as possible.
