Strange that no one mentions Algorand in this context. There are several NFT marketplaces on Algorand and the fees for transactions are less than a penny. It costs around 20-40 cents (depending on ALGO price) to fund the escrow for a sale or auction on our site. Transactions complete within about 5 seconds, with confirmation within around 15-20 seconds. https://gifeconomy.com if you are interested. You can also exchange ALGO easily on places like Coinbase.
And if you search you will find multiple other NFT sites using ALGOs.

The Twitter verification is for status, if the status also requires the person seeing the profile has to find the contract existing with the profile NFT and then exhaustively find out if there is an “original” then the whole verification process isn’t fit for purpose.

Basically everyone ends up ill informed.
Interest in Google seems to be on a downwards trend, is the company nearing its end?
Can, I guess. That’s generally L8 income; it’d be pretty unusually to make it to that level in seven years.

This seems to be a you problem, not a me problem.
Not op, but my guess is that by creating a centralised service which abstracted RSS away, it meant that when Google killed the reader it damaged the ecosystem as a whole, including the underlying protocol.
As the article mentions, PicoCTF is a great start for someone willing to try one of those, the difficulty curve is not steep so anyone can do a couple levels before starting to need to do some good reading.
Awesome to see an open source project in this space! However, the docs say the service is production ready and v1, yet there seem to be no docs on how to run the open source version (except for a brief homebrew example in the README). So how do I run this? For example with a DB?

I also noticed that the v0 API is deprecated and discouraged but the v1 API is „work in progress“. To me, that doesn’t inspire confidence that the product is not going to have some breaking changes in API and design?

Is there something I am missing?
Oh, that must be why the US famously retaliated to 9/11 by also destroying 3 buildings in Tora-Borah.

The point is that the application owner does not become a central authority of authenticity though, the blockchain does. The application owner is just one of many acknowledging authenticity.

Many different applications can build on top of this open authenticity verification. This decentralised layer for authenticity verification is much more powerful than a single application builder can achieve with their own database. The concept itself is very powerful for interoperability but some of the valuations of assets currently feel ludicrous.

Disinformation is a problem for all social media platforms, for all languages, FB is one of those platforms. I have the feeling that media focuses more on FB & English, but we should rather focus on the problem as whole and its harm for all communities around the globe.
The date of the video is the most impressive to me here. It says “Sept. 30, 2021” both as the date of the article and the date of the video. If this is not a mistake that means they managed to deliver the video from the hurricane to the internet in less than 24 hours.

Why is this impressive? Either they beamed it out through satelites, which is notoriously hard from an unstable platform on big waves, or they recovered the saildrone and obtained the footage directly which is equally impressive in or around a hurricane.

All around if the dating of the footage is correct it is very impressive to me.

This part is incorrect. Every token is signed can be verified against the content creator's public key. You can absolutely verify a "genuine" NFT.
I think you’re misreading what I’m saying. I’m not saying that this is art because it’s memorable. I’m saying that this is memorable to me because it’s a piece of art that resonated with me in a special way, like only few other pieces of art did. Whether it’s truly art or just a clever trick is certainly up for debate and bigger minds than mine failed at finding objective criteria, but at least the curators of the museum considered it art or they wouldn’t exhibit it.

So does Windows 11 now require TPM 2 or does it not?

I know that a lot of hardware actually does support TPM2 and the "tutorials" how to check for hardware support in Windows are actually wrong (tpm.msc). It will only show support if the module is activated and in use (if not a reinstall of windows is required).

I hate secure boot mainly for the issue of certificate logistics. I don't think it offers me sensible security advantages and OS have to be signed by Microsoft since the root certs shipped with your mainboard probably doesn't include many alternatives. Of course you could add more with effort...

I think at this point it is hard to deny that security arguments are abused to increase lock-in features.
I don’t see why it’s simpler, though there’s an argument to be made for HTTP being more familiar.
The difference between stopping smoking and stopping eating meat is that it's perfectly possible to eat meat in moderation than it is to smoke just a few.

I haven't eaten any 4-legged animals with the exception of bacon and the odd burger here and there (a chicken burger just doesn't cut it) for 3-4 years.

I mostly eat fish and poultry and have been accidentally vegan a number of days.

I'd be completely fine paying 2x the price for beef if the animals were handled in a sustainable and humane way.

You want break-word, not break-all. The latter breaks short words unnecessarily.
But it means that the meat we eat today just warms the earth for 10 years in the future. Global warming isn't a catastrophe in 10 years, so eating meat today is a non issue. When global warming becomes an issue we can kill all the cows and stop eating meat and that way quickly cool the earth.

I agree that including upstream GHG is important, but you've got to compare like with like - is there any evidence that upstream-included GHG emissions are higher for urban than for rural?

> He claims he lost his private contracts because he was suspended.

No, not really. He claims that he lost the lion's share of his income because the Anderson administration not only suspended him but also started attacking his character on social media based on the meritless accusations of racism.

From the blog post:

> You see, most of my income comes not from teaching at UCLA but from consulting to law firms and other corporations. Several of those firms dropped me after they got wind that I’d been suspended — the better to put distance between themselves and a “racist.” That cost me the lion’s share of my annual income. The students involved in this escapade may have moved on to other causes. I have not. I’m not sure I ever will.

His blog post is quite clear on the path he is taking the law suit: he was subjected to attacks and abuse for not complying with requests to grant special priviledges to some students, and the Anderson administration proceeded to throw him under the bus as a scapegoat to avoid their institutional pattern of non-inclusiveness. Consequently, the actions taken by the Anderson administration ultimately caused him to lose the lion's share of his income.
Wow! Thanks and that’s a great clip too. Some of the comments are hilarious - equally as astonished as I was.
It's more then that. It's not whether information is "true" or "false". What matters is the "falsifiability" of statements and assertions shared online in the first place:

> In the philosophy of science, a theory is falsifiable (or refutable) if it is contradicted by an observation that is logically possible, i.e., expressible in the language of the theory, and this language has a conventional empirical interpretation.[A] Thus there must exist a state of affairs, a potential falsifier, that obtains or not and can be used as a scientific evidence against the theory, in particular, it must be observable with existing technologies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability

A lot of disinformation boils down to making a claim that can't readily be falsified while defending their stance by using logical fallacies to deflect criticism, such as shifting the burden of proof to the other party.

In the past 1.5 year, a lot of claims made about the pandemic simply couldn't be falsified for lack of technology or methods to observe a potential falsifier. That doesn't means those claims are readily false or true. It means they are plausible or probable. Which are very different qualifiers regarding veracity. A typical example is the heated debate about the efficacy of masks and mask mandates.

Access to information has also demonstrated a down side. Research studies have been widely quoted / cited within the public debate to support all manner or arguments. However, by pulling studies out of context, they lose their value. Many tried to support their claims by cherry picking, ignoring scientific publication process (e.g. peer review) and so on. The net result is scientific research, regardless of it's veracity, re-purposed as token support for confirmation bias in the public debate via thinly veiled appeal to authority.

The relevant questions regarding disinformation isn't the veracity of statements. But rather: Who are you anyway? Where are you coming from? And why are you making these claims in the first place?
I have a question that's been on the back of my mind for a while: why just types? Aren't there other things we should be able to tell the compiler so it enforces correctness better? Or a different way to tell those things? What I've seen so far are:

- Type systems of varying complexity, where you sometimes have to abuse the language in complicated ways to express constraints you want;

- Pushing complex checks to runtime, even though they should be - in principle - computable ahead of time. Or, the compiler should be able to tell you ahead of time what you need to do to ensure an assertion never fails.

- External tools like proof checkers.

I guess having types as names of constraints is useful. Then, what I'm looking for is a better "satisfies" from Common Lisp - one that would be guaranteed to run mostly arbitrary code at compile time.
> It’s like Nixon’s “silent majority” of supporters.

The term "silent majority" referred to people in the 1968 and 1972 elections who held moderate-to-conservative views that weren't represented in the mass protests and domestic terrorism of the time. Considering that Nixon won both presidential elections--1972 in an utter landslide--it turned out that the "silent majority" actually existed--quite unlike these anonymous signatories.
> The gist is that suburban grow is an overflow of city growth onto the surrounding area. When a suburban areas GHG accounting is taken into consideration it further removes any "apparent" per capita efficiency of the city.

I'm happy to believe that suburban lifestyles are inefficient, but I don't find that a good argument for discouraging urban lifestyles - wouldn't that increase rather than decreasing suburban sprawl? (E.g. if you limit development in city centres, that's going to push more of it to nearby suburbs).

Not "pumping" losses, no. There is no intake air or exhaust gas to pump.

EVs may experience an effect that is similar in practice, albeit much smaller... Things like headlights, HVAC, entertainment systems, etc., will draw more power the longer it takes you to get to your destination, so reducing your speed from 30 to 15 MPH might not be an efficiency win.

You're probably doing a bad job of inviting people to share their actual opinions with you. The easy & practical choices here are:

There’s a lot of confusion here about why NFTs are valuable if the buyer doesn’t get to own the image copyright. This should not feel mysterious - NFTs are just like baseball cards.

If you buy a Barry Bonds baseball card for $1,000, you don’t own the artistic rights to the image on the card. All you own is the card itself, which has negligible manufacturing cost. It would be trivial for any card company to produce a million functionally equivalent Barry Bonds cards.

When you buy a Barry Bonds baseball card, you hope that the card company won’t dump a million more on the market. You also hope that if another baseball card company springs up and prints their own Barry Bonds cards, people won’t be as interested in that brand of cards. Attention and scarcity drive value; the nuance is that other speculators must care about scarcity along the same dimension that you possess it (in this case: the brand of the baseball card company and the year the card was made). There are a hundred tokens functionally equivalent to Bitcoin, but none approach Bitcoin’s value - purely because Bitcoin sustains more consumer and media attention. This position is fairly stable because attention has strong positive feedback loops.

There has always been interest in speculative collectibles. A purely digital collectible solves a lot of practical problems related to exchange: you don’t have to wait a week to receive the item in the mail, you don’t have to worry about its condition because it does not degrade with time or use, there is minimal counterparty risk due to online escrow contracts, and counterfeits are harder to fake (along the relevant dimension of scarcity, which is the origin address).

People have been speculating on collectibles for thousands of years. Crypto just makes it easier to trade them back and forth.
Manufacturers aren’t always able to charge real market prices in a flexible way. They rely of regular reliable order volumes and can’t charge different prices to different customers, and can’t vary prices easily day to day so can’t take advantage of the fact different customers are willing to pay different prices. They also often don’t have distribution and extensive dispersed inventory, so can’t offer different prices to different geographic markets, or different markets with particular volume requirements, or different order/delivery latency tolerances.
Selling digital assets like that predates NFTs. NFTs are supposed to be special because of the stuff crypto adds not in spite of it.

I hope a flagship feature of the next iOS is an "emergency low power mode".

Shut down on the last 5% of battery and make that last for 24h or something in that range.
Use only dim white on one part of the OLED, show me the time, sound alarms, show important notes, give Wallet/Apple Pay access, allow one last battery draining SOS call and add a compass for good measure.

Maybe they could even afford to wake up the radio every 30 minutes and fetch some important info.
In a few years they could even open it up to third party developers.

If I put my phone in airplane+low power mode, max dim the screen and carefully wake it, 2% already goes for quite a few hours. Maybe they could do way better than 5%/24h even.
