It seems like your argument is that cryptocurrency needs to use over half of the computing power on earth at any given time to consider it secure. That's a very bad standard. Visa and MasterCard don't need this much computing power for security.

No one has time to bother caring about the past, and we should be grateful that someone half-assed it (at best)?

> By disguising this oppression as a side-effect of "not working hard enough" or "not picking the right career" we can look away and say it is not our problem

Actually, this is the definition of ideology, and you are not identifying it. Ideology starts when they accept victims in pursuit of their goal. When you accept negative side-effect that would be considered offsetting whatever good you are trying to provide in any other ideology.

- Capitalist ideology: We accept human victims as a side effect of meritocracy, whereas we wouldn’t accept human victims under Christian ideology,

- Christianity: Caring for poor people; White supremacist ideology: Accepting that we do not care for migrants while we care about local people.

- Feminist ideology: Accepting male victims, for example suicide or work, while rejecting non-life-threatening difficulties for women. (whereas under any other ideology, the two genders’ issues would be treated equally).

- Communist ideology: Accepting to shoot up a head of state in the pursuit of the greater good for all other citizen.

What do mean by "people like me"? What country are you referring to?

If you're in the USA, then it's the one of the safest areas in the world. Do you realize the reason you don't deal with lawless people is because of the police? There's a lot of accountability and procedure in policing here. For every bad news story there are millions of daily encounters with some of the worst offenders that you're fortunate to never deal with.

> "So yeah, I do believe state sanctioned violence is worse for the majority of people."

This is beyond ridiculous, especially in the comments of an article describing people being beaten and thrown out of their homes with extrajudicial violence. Is your suggestion that they're better off this way without any protection or oversight and instead left on their own? Do you really think billions of people around the world agree with you?

> "Oh and if I try to defend myself from an attacking cop I go to prison for decades."

An attacking cop means you've started a fight with the police, so the advice is to not do that. But are you implying that you'll do better against some attacking gang instead?

It's seems like you have not experienced any serious danger because you'll change your opinion very quickly in the face of unchecked criminal activity. It's easy to make sweeping statements from your safe and comfortable home but it's highly unlikely you would enjoy, let alone survive, in places with less rule of law.

It is actually not. Basic laws of economy are much like the laws of physics: they work the same whether you believe in them or not. Trying to circumvent them with legislation such as rent control leads to various second order effects. For rent control that means limited supply and worse quality of the available apartments. Also: people unwilling to move, occupying apartments much too big for them, just because they are rent-controlled.

The best way to eliminate car deaths is to eliminate cars, too. But obviously we're not doing that either.

I'm not clear what you're trying to accomplish by juxtaposing induced demand with transportation fatalities, when the two concepts don't seem to have any special connection.
I'd like to see a study across all road construction whether excessive induced demand is a guaranteed effect. In all articles related to it I only see examples cherry-picked where induced demand negated the effects of adding lanes. However, it's not clear whether this is universally true, true enough to be a rule of thumb, or something that only occurs in specific situations.

Anecdotally, removing toll plazas in favor of plate scanners and adding bridge lanes to the Goethals Bridge in Staten Island, as well as widening the Staten Island Expressway, has significantly reduced traffic delays and improved safety for several years. There _are_ more vehicles using the road but not enough more to significantly negate the improvements.

To me, the case against improving roads is not nearly as open-and-shut as Strong Towns and similar one-sided policy-pushers make it out to be.

I think it's a clear difference in business model:

Slack's business model is selling to "the group". The features you have available are what your "admin" decides is good for the group, and upgrades (especially upgrades from the "free layer") need to financed/budgeted as a group decision.

Discord's business model is that individual users are the paying customers so there are fewer features "nickel and dimed" at the group level. If I want better paid features as a user I don't have to convince an entire group to buy into the idea. I especially don't have to convince multiple such groups to do it if I want the same paid features in every group I am a participant in I don't have to convince the admins of multiple groups to pay for them (and/or figure out how to bill for them). Where Discord does have group-level paid features ("boosts"), they are presented as bottom up "collective individual effort as multiplier" more than "the group needs to top down pay a monthly invoice".

From a user perspective, in Slack I'm not the customer, I'm a cog in some wheel that is the customer. On Discord, I'm the customer, and that deeply impacts a lot of how Discord operates including and especially how it treats the "free layer".

That's just incorrect. From the whitepaper:

> Once Apple’s iCloud Photos servers decrypt a set of positive match vouchers for an account that exceeded the match threshold, the visual derivatives of the positively matching images are referred for review by Apple. First, as an additional safeguard, the visual derivatives themselves are matched to the known CSAM database by a second, independent perceptual hash. This independent hash is chosen to reject the unlikely possibility that the match threshold was exceeded due to non-CSAM images that were adversarially perturbed to cause false NeuralHash matches against the on-device encrypted CSAM database. If the CSAM finding is confirmed by this independent hash, the visual derivatives are provided to Apple human reviewers for final confirmation.

So to recap, this second blind hash you're talking about is run _after_ the server has already received and decrypted the visual derivatives (what else would it be hashing?).

Perceptual hashing is highly susceptible to collisions. I'm not sure what you're talking about with "hiding a different thumbnail through resizing". All you need is nude-looking colors in your photo to let the derivative look like credible CSAM. No resizing tricks necessary.

To be fair, from a devs perspective you need to flip it around in your brain, in order to go from e.g. "you need to sanitize user input to make it safe for a javascript context" to "seeing unsanitized user input that could be getting injected into a script." Even if you know all the right answers, it's still probably not going to come out super eloquently. (And I realize there are other and better answers also, but just to choose one that's easy to explain.)
Proof of stake changes the game and raises the bar for entry. It essentially creates a "rich get richer" scenario where the only way to increase the amount of coin you have is to either already have enough to participate in proof of stake, or to buy the coin from someone else. In that light, I wouldn't necessarily say that proof of stake is clearly better than proof of work.

As an example, the proposed proof of stake mechanism for Ethereum requires 32 ETH, which is around $100k USD today. So established parties with capital will be able to stake, but your average person will not. I'm not sure I like that aspect of it.

This is about profit for housing developers, period. They can make more money on units on established areas with highly rated schools, instead of building apartments or townhouses further out. It’s no different than the school redistricting initiatives democrat-leaning school boards are pushing under the guise of ‘equity,’ so that more housing can be built near highly rated schools for a higher profit. There’s no noble cause here. It’s plain corruption.

It's interesting how much more complicated and better thought-out that stuff is now than it was fifteen years ago. I think supply chains and lifecycles are a huge part of things, and it was barely a part of our thinking back then. It was more like "hey did you know taking a plane burns carbon too?"

I can't afford the $600K for a gold bar however.

> Induced demand as a concept just doesn’t make sense. If demand is “induced” it just means that the supply wasn’t adequate to meet demand. That’s it. It isn’t a large mystery, and there isn’t any logical argument or evidence that greater supply will keep “inducing” demand infinitely. There are a finite number of people and finite minutes in a day, and if they are able to derive value from driving more, then they will do so, but only up to a limit. In return for that driving, they will also gain something for it (the value that motivated them to drive). The phrase “induced demand” is simply a part of the rhetorical war waged by anti car activists.

Right, it's not surprising but highway expansions are often sold as "reducing congestion" rather than the reality of "causing more people to drive more miles with the same resulting level of congestion."

If the actual goal of highway expansions is to make it efficient for people to drive more miles/have longer commutes then there isn't an issue with there being "induced demand," but there may be various reasons why this isn't actually a very good goal.

Highway expansions do have benefits to people who end up moving further out (more affordable housing), but there may be better ways to achieve the goals of providing housing to more people around urban areas by increasing density, or to help people get around urban areas by transit, etc.

The fallacy is that auto accidents are neither tremendously infectious nor adaptive.

Covid-19 is both.

Even with the relatively limited consequence of automobile accidents, societies collectively take numerous measures to reduce risks, from highway engineering, traffic laws, and safety equipment to requiring individuals to participate in specific practices --- wearing seatbelts, using child safety seats, and not driving whilst impaired, amongst them.

Seems pretty obvious to me that blue is the color that gives best contrast to a white background, while not being black or being so dark a color that the hue doesn't stand out. This is why blue pens are considered the only acceptable pen for writing (such as filling in a form, or a school paper) other than black.

Similar to the reason to use yellow for highlighter and otherwise for changing the background color, you want a light color whose hue is detectable, but it similar enough to the white background that text is still easy to read.

The Munsell color solid is distorted to show that pure yellow is light, pure blue is dark.

> you should conclude that the vaccine increases the risk of hospitalisation.

Not really. It just means that since in that scenario the vast majority of people are vaccinated the break-through cases (people who despite being vaccinated end up hospitalised) outnumbers the small percentage of unvaccinated people who end up hospitalised *despite* the fact that the vaccine efficacy rate remains constant.

I'm not sure if we're talking past each other, so let me take one step back and make another attempt:

I made an extreme example to make it easy to see. Let's make an even more extreme example without any numbers nor percentages:

Let's imagine that everyone, literally every single person in a population gets vaccinated. How many hospitalised people do you expect to see?

Since the vaccine is not perfect and some people get severely sick despite the vaccine, you'd expect to see some number of hospitalised people.

How many of those hospitalised people would be vaccinated?

Well, we just said that in this scenario everybody in the population has been vaccinated, thus everybody who got hospitalised is vaccinated!

Can we conclude that vaccines cause hospitalization? We clearly cannot conclude that from these numbers alone.

Can we agree on this before continuing to talk about which crucial metric we're ignoring in this discussion?
