Agreed. My eye rolling started when the commenter assumed "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion" once included "and no one should suffer social consequences for expressing them."

The author also seems to think modern reactionaries think the US shouldn't negotiate with Portugal, Poland, Sri Lanka, or the other socialist states listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_socialist_states .
Not that I support NFTs much, but conceptually, how is that different than you buying a Marilyn Monroe from Andy Warhol and him printing the exact same Marilyn Monroe and selling it to someone else ? Hopefully in 2021 everyone would agree that the two are distinct artworks, even if the physical object is exactly the same to the human eye ; that's not what matters when buying art.
Anyone have theories if they could have (and if so, why didn't they) just put back the signatures?
" simple enough to understand but realistic enough that the student can see the issue matters."

Exactly this.

My least favorite method of teaching is when they dive into a tutorial or example which has nothing to do with the actual problem.

E.g. when I was independently trying to learn how to code in high school (before my CS program in college), I was using some C++ book that started with a 'Hello World' program. I had no idea what the context for 'Hello World' was and why computer programs need to 'print' stuff. It was just a world of confusion. I remember working through it and not being satisfied at all. Why did I care that my terminal was telling me 'Hello World'?

On the other hand I had amazing CS professors in college who would introduce their course with the real-world problem its solving and the ideal end-state of mastering that area of coursework such as writing a programming language or creating optimal algorithms.
I think the steelman pro-nuclear argument is that if we seriously wanted to replace all fossil fuels with nuclear, we'd have to build so many reactors that they become faster and cheaper to build. They also don't require expensive seasonal storage like solar panels and wind would in most of the world or expensive HVDC lines from always-sunny areas of the world to the areas requiring seasonal storage.

So it might be possible that nuclear in the end is cheaper than renewables. Personally I'm not sure about that, but I'm not an expert in the field.
You have the right to copy of that Babe Ruth baseball card and place it on a t-shirt. If someone uses that exact card's image to do this, you can sue them for copyright infringement.

With NFT this cannot be done.
Yeah, exactly. I got my degrees in electrical and computer engineering but mostly work as a software engineer. I got the PE just in case. The tests and other requirements are not exactly onerous; it's about what you'd expect for a worthwhile professional designation like becoming a CPA, an attorney, or even a CFA.

Not to toot my own horn, but I cruised through the FE and PE exams, but those exams filter out lots of people. Do you really want engineers who are incapable of performing simple calculations? The exams represent a minimum level of competence, and they shouldn't be difficult if you stayed awake in college.
If someone does this say, every weekend all summer long, it's likely that keeping one car in the family will still be economical.

Once self driving cars remove the inconvenience of the last mile and difficulty of coordination, mixed modes of transport start to become really convenient. In your scenario, you might take a self driving cab from a suburb house to a small transfer station, transfer to an express bug/shuttle, which then takes you to a car rental. This hypothetical car rental wouldn't make much sense today, but consider a rental in a small mountain town, renting out off-road capable vehicles. From there you could go on your hike. Though this solution would be a little slower and less convenient than driving directly - on the larger scale for many people dealing with this 2 times a year would be better than the costs of owning a vehicle. Plus for many people it doesn't make sense to own a large rugged vehicle for driving in cramped downtown spaces - using the right vehicle for the job becomes an awesome option.

More popular trailheads for which the drive is fully paved won't be the first area serviced by self driving cars, but would be eventually.

The meta-point is this: Many people survive today just fine without owning a car at all, so it's reasonable to assume that self driving cars will expand the circle of people who's use cases will be fully covered by self driving cars. This will definitely not be everyone as soon as self driving cars come out.

As this circle grows, various niches of transportation will reach a critical mass and be developed. Another example is transportation between major cities. Currently you have inconvenient greyhound busses, or the rare train in the US. Then once you get to your destination you have to deal with transportation within that city. Today it's just easier to drive a few hours, assuming you already own a car.
As far as I can see that is the valuable part of the work. But blockchains doesn't help with it at all.
Your writing was very good and the time you spent on it was clear to me, this was exceptional.
This has to be the most sterile, lifeless living space I have ever seen. It's like they modeled it out of an airport lobby. I would personally rather live in an RV.
I'll be honest, it seems reasonable to me in a lot of cases. I'm not enamored with steak, and chicken/pork can work just as well as beef for a lot of other dishes. A chicken sandwich is just as good as a burger to me.

I know there are people where that doesn't work, but there may be many where it does too with minimal nudging.

Never heard of S5. S4 stood for Simple Server-Side Storage. Source: at AWS 2008-2014.
To add to this, usually most of the systems in avionics or support systems on the ground are dual-hardware (when not more). There's lots of work done to ensure there's no single point of failure and hardware (and more and more, software) failures are handled safely. Regulators add every 5-10y some pressure on time-to-recovery and acceptable data of service loss (counted in milliseconds even on ground systems).

Erlang didn't invent much there, and restarting/rebooting isn't always possible (try doing that in less than 10ms). Sometimes, the application itself needs to handle problems. This puts lots of 'classic IT' (interface bonding, fail overs, etc.) stuff to the bin very quick.
That's at least riskier to do with "fiat" (not that it would be legal with blockchain money either).
Do those deaths only count Autobahn/highway deaths?

If not, then Germany has the upper hand with a miraculous ancient technology called sidewalks.

> Scalpers are not the problem as they seem, they are like market makers for stock exchanges. They buy low and sell high, always.

How do you feel about scalpers who do not act in scarcity but instead create the scarcity themselves. Like those who buy up land in popular cities?

This is the same story over and over again. As a user ( not sysadmin) i am interested how the whole desktop experience is. My issues with (Open)BSD were that the installer will install a base system and then you must go to ports and good luck. Installing binary packages ( which also almost all linux distributions do) is a one size fits all solution. You need a webbrowser (will firefox compile ?). PF is nice but now almost all traffic is https which i guess is difficult to handle (filter) only with PF. And as far as i know IT departments want to pay for support (for compliance reasons) and this is not adressed in this article.

Erlang is a very nice language, but nevertheless it does not include any feature that can be considered as an innovation over older languages.

A programming language does not need to include anything new to be a better language, it is enough to offer a combination of good features that do not exist together in competing languages.

"Parallel threads of execution that explicitly listen for and send messages" as the authors says, already existed in Ada (1979).

Moreover, such concurrent programming already existed in PL/I, in 1965. PL/I, in 1965, was actually much more convenient than the supposedly modern POSIX pthreads, because it was the first to include the equivalent of WaitForMultipleEvents, which is sorely lacking in POSIX.
True for the C from food, but the production process is energy intensive. Fertilizer production, tractors, etc all burn oil C which would otherwise have been left in the ground.
As one gets older one also learns that being ideological may not be the best way to advance your ideology, it's often done by being pragmatic. I.e., in small steps from within the industry you want to change. You may even go into industry, find that it's not for you, and return to academics to make sure collaborations with industry advance your ideology. But you have to realize all these things take place over years and decades and you have to give yourself time and peace of mind as you try and learn things.

One project in my research group is now locked into an EU funded project with a professor that absolutely seems to hate industry and seems to be opposed to anything that gives us more insights then the project plan was supposed to give us. And it is really unworkable. We are good people and we want to solve issues together with others as well. Over the last years I did have some really good experiences with other academic groups by the way, so often it works well.

Blocking a market with shitty IP you are never going to put in practice yourself is pretty bad imo. But publishing something that is wrong wasting a lot of other researchers' time and sometimes even stopping progress (if a group/prof is influential) is also bad. Both are part of the game and arguably we shouldn't blame the players. But avoiding such things, sometimes at great cost, is what being ideological is all about ;) (a quick example: I once came up with a nice new type of assay, and knew my company would never ever make a product out of this. So I won't push on the IP angle, instead I express the benefits of publishing the assay [open access] as a way to show our company's expertise.)
Yes, and it's rampant in all sorts of collectibles markets. There are some people doing it very publicly with vintage video game cartridges right now, and "pawn stars"-type game shows are largely marketing for the scam.

It certainly does not, it makes it all the more clear that it is foolhardy to rely on these centralised corporate entities to carry your message for you unless that message happens to coincide with the current desired narrative - and even in that case it would be wise to not rely on them given that the narrative can and will change.

Every grain of sand leaking from their hands adds to the viability of a decentralised 'net so the more they censor, the more they'll lose. I say let them lose everything, let Youtube become a wasteland of cat videos interspersed with government broadcasts and kitschy music videos, let it become the online equivalent of a shopping mall past its heyday where elevator music echoes through empty galleries, let interesting material migrate to alternative distribution channels. All that is needed for that is a reliable CDN, a problem which might be solvable using p2p distribution like Peertube and LBRY do. Once this is established there will be another fight, this time led by copyright holders who insist on blocking these channels so the system needs to be robust against such attempts.

Will there be fewer 'Youtube millionaires'? Sure, that was a short-lived fad which is unlikely to survive in a decentralised 'net. Is this something to mourn over? Not in my opinion.
Yup, Karl Jobst's expose I bet. It was a really good piece of journalism, maybe not something you'd expect from a YouTuber who mostly vlogs about speedrunners.
Politics is part of the culture in the US. And yes, they laugh about it.... but then they slowly devolve into catering towards it and existing within it.
Usually those movements intend to remove "evil" people.

"We weren't evil, how can attacking evil people be evil?"

You can see people say things like this even today. The evil in these cases was done by the people convincing the masses that the other group really is evil and needs to be attacked, not by the masses. The masses will attack and punish whatever they think is evil, everyone knows that, doesn't mean that they are evil, rather it is always evil to label large groups of people as evil since it encourages the masses to attack those.
No more than real meat lol
Efficient? That rather depends on the scope of the system you’re measuring.
Thanks, this is helpful. I had a look at this link (https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-721#simple-summary) based on your response (specifically the json schema). Is it correct that the actual NFT is three strings: name, description and image? It seems that "image" contains URL that you mention. Is there any limit to the size of the NFT (i.e. could you save the entire jpg base64 encoded in the image field for example)?

At first I was a little confused by the fact that it seems that the purchaser essentially owns a URL and they would have no control over the information that the URL is pointing to. However, the concept of permanent/decentralized storage (Arweave as you mention) starts to clarify things a bit. If you have a digital asset located at a URL that can never be altered and is permanently accessible then it does start to make some sense - though I will have do some reading to understand how this is actually possible.

Thanks again!
Too bad for you if they use Excel instead.
Anybody can own and share the media file (one of the great things about crypto art is that we can all access and view it), but only one wallet owns the token that links back to the original creator’s signature.

To use a print analogue: a print of a photographer’s work likely holds no significant value* unless that artifact is provably signed (or otherwise approved) by the artist. To take it a step further; a convincing photocopy with a fraudulent signature will also hold no value, once it’s determined to not have come from the original creator.

* Here “value” refers to cultural and artistic significance in how it is perceived by an art market. Of course a poor photocopy of a Mona Lisa holds cultural value because of what it signifies, but a museum isn’t about to acquire that artifact from you.
The project got renamed to BorrowScript.
The Marilyn Monroes are still limited by the number that Warhol prints, and you have ownership of the print that you bought. Maybe it’s not as valuable as it would be if there was only 1 Monroe print, but you are paying for a physical object made by Warhol.

If I understand correctly, an NFT is like if someone, not necessarily Warhol himself, sold you a note posted on a wall somewhere that said “You own Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe”, without any rights to the underlying work, or any promise that another person might sell another note on another wall that says “Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe”.

I suppose I see is like noticing that a house is being built, and then criticizing it because no one can live in it, and the builder's tools are loud, and pieces of building material are strewn around. If you don't like houses at all, then it's certainly fair to be critical of them at any state of their development, but if you admit they are useful to exist, albeit in a more developed state than not, it seems like a conflict. - I do appreciate your discussion here, and I hope I'm not coming across as antagonistic by saying your position is disingenuous, I just see it as a process of growth, some of which is not so tenable...like a screaming child vs an adult who creates something that contributes something that is a boon for society in their life. I also admit it remains to be seen, but there is meaningful evidence which supports a net positive outcome.
Yes, but that may be nitpicking. The salient part is if it is a get rich quick scheme based on convincing people to join.
And all those apps want to become E-Mail.
Having ownership of the physical print is a pretty big differentiator. I guess you could have always bought that same print from someone who created it illegally rather than Warhol himself, but that is where the vague "supporting the artist" reasoning comes in to play.

Since NFTs don't provide that physical object, all that is left is the "supporting the artist" angle. If that is central to NFTs, why is the secondary market such a big aspect of the community? To extend your analogy, that would be like me buying the Warhol print for $10, turning around and selling it for $100, and claiming that $90 in my pocket is supporting Warhol.
It can also work as transportation. Imagine riding to work on a bull! I mean, yeah smelly, but cool :D

This is NFTs 1.0. The current issue is that there's a gap between your NFT and a suitable metaverse.

People love to customize their avatars, it's just what we like to do. NFTs 2.0 will be able to take your purchases and add them into whatever metaverse dominates at that current time.

As much as people like to say why buy things digital I remember reading a HN thread where many, many, many people preferred to live in a digital world VERSUS the real world. Therefore if you live in a metaverse you probably will want to customize and make yourself digital twin unique to your likes, desires etc.

What we are seeing right now is a standard progressive of a new digital product that some take advantage of, others don't see it and some will see the potential.

QR Codes have been around for years, dropped off the map and then came storming back even though they are unsecure, some people hate them, others love them and so on.

Yes, the historical and social context, etc, which are subjectively valued. I expect that those who purchase NTF with the hope that they appreciate also count on the value of the token being part of a "limited collection", or being one of the first (an NFT from 2021 becoming a "historically significant" thing due to being one of the first ever produced), or such speculative considerations.
Was looking at doing something similar but settled on a slightly different approach:

1. Bundle the app image with a “container.json.template”

2. Have the UI request this file first, along with a preload in the head

3. Use Nginx envsubst to populate the config.json from env vars on container start

It’s an additional HTTP request and templating JSON via string interpolation isn’t fun but it was quite simple and kept the build clean with config injected at run time.

Given the interpolation problem (I.e chaos when someone uses a number value and it’s undefined), I’d probably ditch env subst and perhaps do something else to build the JSON.

I'm just guessing: a) We don't have enough water in the atmosphere that the overlap with Methane meaningfully reduces net absorption, b) in the bands Methane absorbs there is more radiation available to absorb than in the CO2 band. If both are true that would explain the bigger effect of Methane.
But that's also extremely risky, it's really not easy finding good CEOs and not easy to tell if one is going to be good or not (see Apple replacing Jobs in the 80s).
> Which I've taken to imply

Unless you consider the interpretation "since they are part of the general population, they are picked from it, they are not outside the set of the "little people", they have a provisional mandate given under conditions, "equality" in modern societal systems means "all are the same in front of the law" and practical exceptions do not constitute substantial exceptions".
It wasn't an insult? Funny, I thought it was the same as calling someone a hypocrite.

Indeed, it's fair game to insult other people. Sadly, it's prohibited by the rules of this forum. Disagree with them? Great. Accuse them of being hypocrites? Less great.

The political split we mostly see are that of partisan reactionaries. Not the disinformation itself is powerful, it is that it is seen as manipulating millions of people and some groups argue to remove that content. I think this is the fitting anology for the article.
