I read this article with some interest because I'm thinking of getting a new kitchen, and while I understand the technologies involved (both generative art and Ethereum), the part I'm struggling with is... why on earth anyone would pay money for these things. Can someone explain it to me?

My only guess is that the people buying these things already have large amounts of theoretical money in Ethereum anyway and thus spending a small fraction of it on some sort of very poor glowing Mondrian-esque art is little more than an amusing distraction that seems cool?

Your comment reminded me of this excellent post, best read with its fun accompanying illustrations, "How Money Forever Changed Us":

https://moretothat.com/how-money-forever-changed-us/

Specifically, the discussion of the "pogs" craze in elementary schools in the US in the 90s.
"Basically, a nice little gambling ring was growing amongst us starry-eyed 2nd graders."

The OP would certainly read differently if he wrote, "How I won $50K in 3 days with NFTs", rather than saying how he "made" $50K.

Also the Gordon Gekko quote from "Wall Street":

"Money itself isn’t lost or made, it’s simply transferred –- from one perception to another. ... I create nothing. I own."[1]

I mean there are some interesting elements there but I don’t see the solidifying Europe one as much.

I think it’s more so Europe being independent and trading with both China and the US and keeping both at arms length, which is what’s driving the US to stop caring about Europe militarily. No more Middle East wars (oil supply is secured and Iraq was won), and why bother defending Europe? What are they defending it from? They can’t stop Russia from chipping away at countries. The EU is going to have to do that.

So for the US it’s like why spend money or resources or attention in Europe? Just trade with the EU like any other countries and get the same benefits without any of the cost.

I don’t disagree and there’s two things I find interesting:

1) Remittance is easily implemented in a smart contract.

2) This aligns long term interests between the project creator and the NFT holder (and one can imagine different incentive structures can be implemented for different projects).
To preface, “insider threat” is a bit of a harsh way to name the program this behavior falls under- it also covers “good” employees behaving in non-malicious but mistaken ways that will harm a company. Also, all work-related actions taking place off work devices gets covered under an AUP. So heading into this, Apple has both the program and policy to enforce a few different legal/HR actions against employees who’d go this route.

With insider threat, the idea isn’t to force the behavior into concealed channels, but instead into “cleartext” channels where the data exfil, or I guess in this case subversive employee behavior, can be watched/snapshotted. Once that’s done, it goes over to HR/legal. So it’s not so much make it inconvenient to participate, but to make it easy to catch that participation is occurring, with some safeguards around what that participation is - chatter is ok, but have safeguard for Apple intellectual property landing in that activist slack.

So with FB and Blind, a company has two ways to ID that’s occurring, take evidence,nand then over to HR
/Legal it goes.

If it occurs on work computers, one is device management tools like Forcepoint that allow an insider threat team to see your real time action. They see the employee going to this Slack/Blind, insider threat team starts taking artifacts, and that’s evidence. Other device mgmt tools aren’t as invasive, but achieve similar ends. All in all, regardless of the forum, the behavior can get caught, and it’s shipped to HR.

If all of the activism occurs off work computers, I’d bet the behavior gets caught by two ways. One, 3rd party vendors who scan social media/GitHub for company branding existing outside of company channels (so on FB “Apple Activist Group” would fire). Two, and more likely, is the activists suck at OPSEC because Bob or Susan from marketing who join the group but computers are Google-machines to them talk about it on work devices or the water cooler/Slack.

Gotta remember a place like Apple has insider threat programs dealing with industrial/corporate espionage. A bunch of pissed off activist employees trying to sneak around aren’t the same challenge. If Apple did have an employee activist group with ironclad OPSEC, Apple prob has big problems and those employees need to balance how important the cause is and why can’t they just talk about it to mgmt vs how that would look from the outside to a company/law enforcement.

> Contemporary feminism...

There is no one definitive "contemporary feminism", and most people who consider themselves feminists almost certainly don't hold the beliefs that you probably attribute to this mystical creed.

> Don't have sex

First of all, there are people saying this out loud... and soon thereafter they want to outlaw abortions even in case of rape, so it would seem to be just empty rhetoric. Secondly even those who most loudly state this opinion can't seem to follow it and get unplanned pregnancies just as much as those who don't.

> There are only two genders

Factually incorrect, even if you limit yourself to humans. There are people with XXY and XYY chromosomes. And they are not even all that rare. If you look at biology beyond humans it becomes even more incorrect.

That is assuming that there is demand for those service in the days where otherwise it would have been shut down (Sun or Fri or Sat).

If a place ~90% shuts down on a particular day, running a skeleton service with limited staff may not be viable due to the fact that most of the infra needs to be nearly 100% operational to support skeleton crews and vehicles.

And also it may involve lot of planning to run skeleton operations (for all you know 10% of the users are sprinkled all over the grid - so which all routes you run the skeleton service, at what frequency etc.).
Assuming your family have a car, wouldn't they meet you at the bus station/railway station/airport?

Mine almost always do, even though there are much better public transport options than you have. I don't generally have any use for a car while I'm visiting them, so there would be no point renting one.

The problem with climate change is that 'once in a generation' events are now happening more like once a decade - I would not expect this to be the last global pandemic causing major whiplash in demand and supply in our lifetimes.

I'm honestly curious to find out whether most of us will even still be driving cars powered by fossil fuels by the time the next pandemic hits - as tech goes, it's only been around for a few generations. People will find other transit solutions if cars themselves get phased out. Or maybe we'll still have 'cars' with something dramatically different going on under the hood that car owners of today would barely recognize.

> Uber Eats & friends outcompeted previous iterations of services

If by 'outcompeted' you mean spent massive amounts of investor money to give free stuff away at a loss until they starved their competitors of traffic and/or bought those competitors outright.

A lot of restaurants are fighting back by just setting up their own websites and gradually improving them, and hiring drivers directly. Ultimately I think the pendulum will swing back this way, because as much as it may be nice to have a unified UI, it's not worth paying significantly more for food that takes longer and arrives cold. Especially when, as you say, the system hurts everyone involved in actually preparing & delivering your food.

> NFT’s are a gambling fad, an extension of the more general crypto gambling fad.

I agree with you to the fullest, very well summarized.

The issue around crypto at the moment is that because it is poorly understood by both the masses and the evngelists (the tech, the economics, and often both) you have a lot of people who don't want to be left out of the "next big thing" and so they've pivoted their careers to convincing people that crypto and related assets are part of a healthy portfolio. This may or may not be true in the long run, but nobody walks around thinking scratchoffs are part of a good portfolio allocation. The same is not true for these other assets, and we've seen in each cycle when people get hosed and lose it all, they are genuinely shocked because they don't view it as gambling.

Bread is legacy food. Beer is legacy drink. I feel like that about sums it up.
> It also may possibly make sense to log additional information available in local scope and throw the error up the stack.

Like, time. This is why I often do "log and throw" or "log unexpected value and return it", depending on whether the code is exception-oriented or uses sum types instead. It's because time is an important piece of information to encode in an error log. When your error is caused by an external resource (e.g. RPC failure), you want to log it immediately to later be able to correlate it with external resource's logs or some other monitoring. If you don't the error may take some time to reach its final logging place - or, it may never reach it at all, if the application crashes in the meantime.
...and whatever you do, please don't call them "tenants" in your design docs. And if I may add another request (not an "ask")... learn the difference between segue and Segway.

Reading anything that plays that fast and loose with language makes me think that the author plays equally fast and loose with other aspects of their writing that I'm not qualified to judge (in a way similar to how we can spot errors in movies that depict hackers, but are more likely to "buy" whatever we see on a medical drama), so it makes me generally distrustful of the material.

Am I being pedantic? I don't think I am. I think clear communication is super important.

Google does sooo much filtering of search results I can no longer use them. They actively supress information which they deem politically controversial.

On the very rare case I don't find what I want there, adding the "bang" !g to my search will route me to google, so its no pain to dig there if needed.
While that article rightfully points to the operational advantages of the defender (coordinated counter attacks with unhindered artillery support) it leaves out some of the options that could have changed the situation: Air force, tanks, and motorization.

Each of these techniques had the potential to dramatically shift the balance of the war:

Air attacks could have taken out the counter artillery batteries. (Look at what planes Germany threw over the channel.)

Tanks could have carried the advance much faster (and did in the later stages of the war) and, more importantly, made counter attacks so much more difficult.

Motorization, in particular the use of light mobile infantry (e.g., German Kradschützen) could have enabled quick lateral movement of troops. Instead of trying to breakthrough over maybe 5km of the front, mobile units could have fanned out to attack the first line from the flanks over a range of tens of km.

All these "wonder weapons" did exist in WW1 but were not deployed in large formations (except for tanks). I think the main reason was that there simply was no large industry supporting the armies with these systems when the war started.

Selling nearly exact copy of same art multiple times already happens, think of prints and etchings and so on. Though I don't think they will ever reach value of single art pieces, but there just being multiple copies does not make them not valuable.

Overall this might even be preferable to unique art works. Lowers the barrier of access for one.

Smart contracts get compiled into byte code that get run on the blockchain. Each instruction costs a certain amount of money. This fee is called a “gas” fee, because you need to put in enough money to execute your entire contract, which varies by how complex it is, similar to how you need enough gas in your car to drive a certain distance.

I have no special knowledge about the issue, but if I had to guess, it's embarrassing to the Air Force that the A-10 does a better job at close air support (CAS) than the F-35.

(That's partially because the A-10 was designed to do one task well and the F-35 was designed to do everything somewhat poorly.)
The reason for the negative connotations is when it's used it also usually means "A system which nobody really understands", usually because of lack of tests and documentation. Maybe the high cost to modify it is working as intended in some cases (don't modify this project, start a new one). But when the business expects the legacy product to be modified, then you run into trouble.
Why do you need an expert to vet something when you buy it from the artist that made it? And in turn, when the artist put a piece on a blockchain you can trace it back to the artist. That's the point of NFTs kind of. But if you mean you'd rather have a physical original of an artwork than a digital representation of the thing, I see what you mean I guess.
The only no-BS tenet for business decision making is: "will this make the business money or position the business to better make money."

All the rest are n-th order effects in the decision making process. The quicker you come to grips with this, the better. Everything bends to that. It defines the rules and the exceptions to the rules for all other tenets you may derive. Having other principles is just PR to defer to so people forget what they're actually doing. "We make products to help people", "we value quality over speed", whatever. It's all a waste of time and those tenets will change depending on if it makes the business money or not.

They can provide the framework for the model of how the business makes money, your 2nd order rules you develop really do this, but from my experience, all such policies are subject to change and on a frequent basis until you find a set for the underlying driver.
