> Skilled workers are scarce, so they already have negotiating power at the individual level and collective bargaining is just overhead and another bureaucracy to take a vig that could have gone into your paycheck.

Totally disagree with this. Being skilled at your job doesn't necessarily mean you are skilled at negotiating your pay or working conditions. These are entirely different skills. We all know people who are not as good at their jobs, but are smooth talkers and good negotiators, and vice versa is true, too. I know for sure that I could be making a lot more if I had a professional negotiator, whose job and dedicated skill it was to negotiate, either collectively bargaining or bargaining on my behalf.

I read a lot of nonsense about the US on Hacker news everyday to the point that it doesn't really bother me that much anymore (I assume it's just temporary ignorance that enough real life experience and context will clear up), but this does bother me for some reason. It's one thing to misrepresent the scale of something or not understand the nuance of something, it's another thing to literally make things up.

Most of the statutes that can only be enforced by the federal government are like this: it's not just the FTC.

Federal law enforcement is a teensy tick on top of an enormous dog which is crime. The FTC is really small compared to its purported bailiwick. It would need more lawyers than the largest law firms in the US to accomplish anything close to its responsibilities, and it would need to duplicate the FBI to act as its enforcement/investigation arm. Most of the jobs at the FTC aren't even lawyer jobs, but are in more analytical roles.

People like to say skilled workers don't need unions but I never heard a convincing argument about why.

It's not especially great satire, about on par of McSweeny's usual work. They occasionally aspire to genius, though mostly when they lean in to their academic audience and target them well.
I’ve noticed a few other German-English anomalies in my time around German people. First is “some-” instead of “any-”. Second is the use of “since”, e.g: “I’ve been working here since 8 years”. Present tense confusion - e.g: “I’m having” instead of “I have” - my understanding is that in German there is only one present tense, whereas English has a few subtly different ones, so it’s not surprising that some confusion ensues. “Driving a bike” is always funny. Saying “with X years” instead of “aged X years”.

In all of those cases it’s still obvious what the person means. And to be clear I don’t mean to pick on anyone here, I just find the language differences interesting. Far be it from me to judge - I can barely speak one language, let alone two.

> Then we got MODs and Midi , and suddenly we had MP3s clogging the existing 56kbps infrastructure.

This is just wrong and not in any way analogous to some blockchain network getting clogged up.

Your first problem is you've got your causation backwards. Fast dial-up facilitated access to larger media files. People didn't get 56k modems to download MP3s, they downloaded MP3s because they had 56k modems. Even then MP3s (and other media) were commonly 64k and 96k rips because people had limited bandwidth and storage space. You'd only find 128k MP3s and the like on specialty F-serves and FTPs.

Your second problem is RealMedia content was very specifically tuned to work over dial-up connections. RealVideo's buffering problems were very often last-mile bandwidth and latency issues. Even great 56k dial-up had quarter second RTTs, single digit percentage packet loss, and topped out at ~45kbps actual payload throughput. RealMedia servers (and the file and stream formats) explicitly supported multiple streams based on your available bandwidth. That's why RealPlayer had a dropdown asking what type of Internet connection you had, a single RM file or stream endpoint could actually serve multiple streams at different bitrates just like today's HTTP streaming. While a single RealMedia server might be congested if it had tons of clients the backbone networks had plenty of bandwidth and were typically not "clogged up" from RealMedia servers.

Lastly, the problem with Ethereum and other blockchains is their backbones are clogged up with speculative transactions. They're not scaling to meet current demands for transactions and only maybe possibly will scale in the future to handle future amounts of transactions. The Ethereum case is in fact the clogged backbone you were trying to ascribe to the Internet of the past.
The law should be that people can easily install 3rd party app stores on your platform, just like when M$ was forced to allow other browsers to be installed on their OS.

The idea that their app store must accept an app that makes money from other sources seems kinda backwards. You run an app store for profit. Just like I can't go into Target and sell my products on a popped up table, but I can open a store down the street to sell my products.

Make it so installation of stores is easy, and then let the market work it out.
Would you mind expanding upon this?
I've never found epistemic interpretations compelling (like QBism, which is what the article is about). I'll try to explain why.

First, the stuff we do with quantum mechanics just seems sort of... really obviously objective? It's not like Bell tests work for me but not for you, or quantum computers factor numbers for me but not for you. If I sell you a machine to produce a specific superposition, and it produces the wrong one, you can tell. Yes you need to run it multiple times and do statistics, but ultimately anyone can check that the machine is doing the wrong thing.

Second, two agents can't actually disagree on what the superposition of a state is, to any appreciable degree, without one of them being provably irrational (modulo some weak-sauce assumptions we take for absolute granted in classical mechanics). [1]

Third, note that (w.l.o.g) diagonally polarized photons are superpositions of horizontally and vertically polarized photons. This suggests that, in an interpretation where superpositions are less real than classical states, slightly rotating a polarizing filter radically changes the conceptual machinery used to understand a photon passing through the filter. That seems... silly? There is a rotational symmetry in the system that should be natural in the model (e.g. see how special relativity reifies Lorentz boosts).

Fourth, although this is ironically subjective, I've never read an epistemic explanation of some quantum phenomenon and thought "Ah, that makes it clearer!". But that has happened with collapse interpretations, with path integral interpretations, and with many-worlds.

>The problem with unions is that skilled workers don't need them

Entirely disagree. Unions for skilled workers would mean that when you go into surgery for a car accident the doctor who is putting you back together actually had a full night of sleep that day.
Or, you know, I'm having a boring day and went to the third page to try to find something to read and interact with and found a good excuse to vent a personal opinion of mine.

None of those things change the result. When the "spanish" flu started in America and we didn't stop it, it killing a bunch of russians may have been partially our fault for letting it leave the country, but russians should still be mad at their own country for not handling it better. Fault isn't discrete like that. Every country WILL get a pandemic at some point. Disbanding your pandemic response force and pointing the finger at china when the inevitable happens is gross. Trump was literally directly warned about a pandemic when he came into office, and still managed to bungle it for a long time. That CANNOT be blamed on china
Who paid you to write that?

It would be sad if we have to go down that road. There's a guy who maintain a website about old local railroad in my area (and you are NOT allowed to share his content on Facebook), no one is paying him anything. Should he then be forced to label his content as: "Not sponsored", if he don't want readers to assume that he's sponsored by someone?

I'd say you where closer if you had suggested just labeling Instagram as an ad platform. Anyone with more than X number of follows, assume that their posts are sponsored.
Content is King.

TikTok has a fund to pay people to make content to get them up off the ground.

Insta, despite it's growth, has a decay problem in that it's out of the zeitgeist of the key demos. it's growing in developing markets and maybe might have some incidental sign ups, but people are not flocking to it.

And TikTok - depsite it's popularity, has a very 'fad' feel to it. While FB has a bit of the 'e-mail' incumbency in that it's how people communicate with family and user groups, TikTok is a bit more fleeting.

These platforms would get hurt badly without a lot of those middle and upper tier content makers.

The current situation is a rational entente actually: Insta makes ads, influencers can make a buck however. The more popular YouTubers will monetize with ads anyhow.
Facebook are just an advertising company. Just another datapoint to target adverts at you.
Yes. My 'normal' camera kit for a wildlife shoot is now my Nikon D850 + 200-500mm lens and my iPhone 12 Pro. The iPhone is great for capturing snaps of people, nice locations, etc, during the shoot although if I was doing a dedicated non-wildlife shoot I'd pack alt lenses for the D850.

I think the iPhone is actually better for capturing casual video and I use LumaFusion to give myself an on-phone video editing capability that is comparable with (say) Premier Elements. Again, if was shooting wildlife video I'd pack a tripod and a dedicated video head, but this is a massive weight commitment.

Well, I for one thought Mastercard had acquired a cryptography company, so felt let down when I arrived at the article.

I accept that "crypto" nowadays mainly means "cryptocurrency"; and that I will have to learn to sound-out "cryptography" in full.

What I meant, using that terse notation, was that crypto is not identical with cryptocurrency.
I just read the article and from the facts listed in it the decision seems fairly reasonable.

Hopefully this will generate a bit more legal reliability for them. The current legal situation was (and probably still is) somewhat absurd.
> it's all about framing

My pet peeve are the news snippets in Google Discover or Google News, which then lead to a paywalled article.

From my point of view these snippets are all ads for the newspaper or magazine which is promoting them by giving Google access to index them.

One could argue that they are not actively promoting their articles, that it is Google who is "stealing" the content and publishing it, but then again, they want to be monetized through the "Leistungsschutzrecht" (Ancillary copyright for press publishers), so they are well aware that having their articles indexed is beneficial to them. They might as well add a robots.txt file, which is respected by Google.

They are also formatting their articles in such a way, that the snippets are as attractive as possible, which becomes obvious when you read an article and have the feeling that you're reading 3 times the same content until you get to the real information.

These snippets are clearly ads and Google should have to label them as such, unless the content is free-to-view.
There's even a Wikipedia page about the xylospongium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylospongium
Yeah my understanding is people would classify this as locale too, but it's always seemed weird to me. I guess my question is whether this is about formatting to begin with. Periods mean something different depending on the language, right? It seems less about displaying it differently and more about conveying correct information. But then again, mm/dd/yy and dd/mm/yy are often exposed as a formatting option...
I'm pretty sure you'll be familiar with this already and it's not really philosophy but check out Von Neumann's work on cellular automata if you haven't already.

I think revisiting his work with the computing power we have available now would give valuable insights, it'd let us replay evolution many times over.

I still can't get over how it is still legal for a manufacturer to retain any kind of control over a device after sale. It's even more dystopian that you basically can't buy a phone that isn't backdoored.

> In this context, crypto = cryptocurrency, because MasterCard is a major fintech company. The context is obvious.

I, for one, was confused while taking the context into account (but having no idea what CipherTrace does): fintech companies, and especially those dealing with bank cards, are among the most common examples of encryption and authentication usage; I think it's even common to say "that's how your bank card transfers are secured" when explaining the usage of asymmetric cryptography to laypeople. Though the possibilities I've imagined were rather silly: e.g., some custom cryptographic hardware, for either efficiency or doing something fancy with quantum cryptography. Upon skimming the article, I'm not sure if the reality is much less silly, but the brief confusion happened either way.
I realize I have little chance of actually being able to understand all of it. Still, I'd gladly have bought it at a lower cost. :(
The point of it, like the point of many Long Now projects, is to get people to think about longer spans of time, and be more aware of how little we normally do that. As they say, "The Long Now Foundation hopes to provide a counterpoint to today's accelerating culture and help make long-term thinking more common. We hope to foster responsibility in the framework of the next 10,000 years." -- https://longnow.org/about/

So the fact we're talking about these issues here is a success.

Another example of their efforts is something I wrote the code for, a bet/prediction registry: https://longbets.org/bets/

Unlike the sort of prediction markets that are now relatively common, where the goal is to serve as a functional business, the goal for Long Bets is to get people thinking and talking about the long term. My favorite bet is the one between Warren Buffet and a hedge fund guy: https://longbets.org/362/

Buffett was already making much larger bets than this in the marketplace, so in some sense this was pointless. He also could have made it a private bet and saved the hassle. But the public nature of it drove an enormous amount of media coverage and discussion.
I take this as work towards the next platform/UX of AR enabled glasses. These look a lot better than previous attempts and embed the hardware pretty well so that's cool to see.

Absent the actual AR part though I don't think there's much here that's an improvement on previous failed attempts (with a big exception for improved hardware integration/design which does matter a lot). I don't personally find the camera/video recording stuff compelling (but I'm also not the target audience) and there's still the negative privacy/social element of it. That's been talked to death so nothing interesting to discuss there imo.

I think Apple's focus on airpods/lidar and waiting on glasses with cameras until they have the actual UX/AR working in hardware probably makes sense, but FB always has a bias to shipping and testing new stuff early.
Not really. The idea is to cut all middlemen and controlling entities.

Quote from Satoshi:

"The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts. Their massive overhead costs make micropayments impossible.

A generation ago, multi-user time-sharing computer systems had a similar problem. Before strong encryption, users had to rely on password protection to secure their files, placing trust in the system administrator to keep their information private. Privacy could always be overridden by the admin based on his judgment call weighing the principle of privacy against other concerns, or at the behest of his superiors. Then strong encryption became available to the masses, and trust was no longer required. Data could be secured in a way that was physically impossible for others to access, no matter for what reason, no matter how good the excuse, no matter what.

It's time we had the same thing for money. With e-currency based on cryptographic proof, without the need to trust a third party middleman, money can be secure and transactions effortless.
