Even on Lethal difficulty the combat can be mastered, but for me it was too easy to exploit archery since most of the time there aren't any straight up ambushes in the game and you can see all the world encounters twenty - thirty yards away.

God of War got it right in making the world encounters primarily ambushes and not allowing one-shot ranged combat. The bandits in GoT should've been primarily ambushes with only the Mongol patrols been spottable from a distance.
That is not the argument being made and it's disingenuous to paint it that way. Freedom of speech is a philosophical concept that's been around _long before_ 1789.

> newspapers must publish anything a private citizen wants to put in the paper.

The thing is social media have been treated so far more like a Fedex/UPS service than a newspaper. If they do want to open up all messages to place their own inserts, they should become as sueable as a newspaper.
When I was growing up in the 70's the climate fear pR0n was about the impending ice age. There's always something that has to be a crises - otherwise these media types wouldn't be able to drive eyeballs to their stories.
That is essentially my point and you expressed it much better that I could (sorry, English as a second language).

Facebook is not a newspaper. Twitter is not a newspaper. In this example Facebok/Twitter ARE PAPER. They are part of the infrastructure of the internet.
Hello,

We've been there. Before we had filesystems as we know them today, there were many different ways of persistent data storage. Roughly these could be grouped into two camps: The files camp and the records camp.

The record based approach had many properties we know from modern databases.
It was a first class citizen on the mainframe and IBM was its champion.

In my opinion hierarchical filesystems won as everyday data storage because of their simplicity and not despite it. I think the idea of a file being just a series of bytes and leaving the interpretation to the application is ingenious. That doesn't mean there is no room for standardized OS-level database-like storage. In fact I'd love to see that.

Words have meaning. TSLA is a share of a real entity with substantial assets and legal rights. While there is a portion of that value which is speculative, it’s grounded in a real business with measurable performance.

Contrast with cryptocurrencies which have no intrinsic demand or business outside of being speculated on. As Bitcoin has shown, this can get you a lot of speculative money but that doesn’t mean there’s any lasting benefit. Normal people would have their lives affected if Tesla folded but if Bitcoin shut down tomorrow nobody outside of speculators would be impacted.
It sounds like you would like to add "political belief or opinion" to the list of classes protected under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Have you considered the full ramifications of this position?

> The metadata is optional

For the vast majority of people hyping NFTs, the metadata is the only part they care about. The metadata is the part that links the NFT to an actual piece of artwork -- the issuer and the work that it's linked to are the only reasons why some tokens are worth more to collectors than others.

Without the context of the person who issued it and the work that the token is being paired with, you're just trading numbers around and assigning completely arbitrary values to them.

Which to be fair is a common criticism of NFTs. It's just weird to hear an advocate lean into that argument themselves, normally advocates are trying to convince me that NFTs mean something.
Probably the claim of 0.2% IFR. I don't know what the latest IFR estimates are, but it can't be that low: for example, more than 0.2% of Americans have died from Covid, and many Americans have never been infected.

Nearly everything.

COVID-19 IFR seems to be more like 1% (compared to an IFR of 0.05% for polio, for example) but more infected will suffer from damage to respiratory tissues and other complications.

MMR vaccines are mandatory for school children so, if you've attended school in the US, odds are you've been vaccinated against mumps, measles, and rubella.

Polio has been wiped out by a massive vaccination campaign. It's no longer a threat precisely because of vaccinations.

Meanwhile, the COVID-19 vaccines greatly reduce the chance and period of transmissibility, reduce disease severity in breakthrough infections, and only require boosters for those populations whose immunity wanes. The latter also applies to those infected with COVID-19. Reinfection can and does happen. Vaccines can help counteract that.

The biggest benefit to vaccines is not just personal protection but also how much they work to limit spread. This is crucial in stopping the pandemic because the longer and easier COVID-19 is allowed to spread, the more likely it can mutate into a strain that's more virulent and harder to fight. We saw this with Delta.
Who cares? Nobody will stop using twitter over this.

Yeah, twitter sucks. We can get mad at each other and argue about it and talk about how bad it is and blah blah.

Nobody cares. It will change nothing.
Worth noting that newspapers cannot be sued for the comments people post in the comment sections of their websites, even though they moderate those comment sections, for the same reason that social media companies cannot. Guess what I'm saying is- you don't understand 230.

Interesting that they refer to the Core Infrastructure Initiative. Not in the sense that they participated in funding it. But interesting because that project does not seem to be very alive. I browsed the web site recently and the general impression is it has not been updated for years. So after the first initiative faded away they create the next one?
Thomas Paine once asked in Common Sense why an island should be allowed to rule a continent. Maybe it's time to ask why a mere city should be permitted to govern a continent.

I'm fine with red state secession as long as blue states maintain porous borders so I can vote with my feet — and as long as red states don't get a single dollar in foreign aid from what remains of the US. If the neo-Confederates think they can manage on their own, I'd love to see them try, because blue states have been the Germany to the red states' Greece for years.

Hell, we should have let the South secede in 1861 and then encouraged slaves to run away by granting automatic citizenship and equality with whites if they made it across the border — but Abraham Lincoln was hellbent on preserving the Union by any means necessary.
It's clear that Twitter is not making a best or even good faith effort.
Oh, on second thought this boat is a beast. It has a 75 HP diesel engine in it, along with the solar panels. It can surely crank out 100W continuously forever. Sadly, Starlink is not for mobile use.
You pretty much had it right. It seems the two things you missed were:

1. Milling the powder makes it a lot more effective. My buddies and I would make ball mills with old washing machine engines, and whatever non-sparking material we could find for the balls.

2. If you want it to explode rather than burn you have to granulate it. Wet it and let it dry, and grind it a little bit and pass it through some mesh to grade it.

The raw powder is good for making rockets, but it won’t very readily explode.

If you're asking what happens when public spaces are mostly owned by private corporations, I'd suggest you need to be a bit more clear on what you consider a public space.
I'm a little foggy on details, but I remember reading that the bond holders had been kind of mistreated before all this. Something to do with reorganizing or splitting off valuable parts of the company. The bond holders weren't too happy as it was beginning to look like they might not get their money back. So it makes sense why they would not be quick to cooperate and return what they initially thought were early payments.
Maybe not knowing how to use a tool efficiently is a good reason to refrain from strong criticism?

This is a pretty introductory CL article, mostly a commentary on Norvig's solution to the problem. Still, I learned about the #. readmacro from it. The conclusion: "[The Lisp implementation] was the fastest implementation for all input sizes except the largest one, where it performed just slightly worse than my best Java implementation." GH repo at https://github.com/renatoathaydes/prechelt-phone-number-enco.... Sounds like he was mostly measuring the performance of the SBCL bignum implementation.

A bit clickbaity title. Reality: UK government sends letter to all drivers in the UK with a truck license to consider driving trucks. Germans with old licenses happen to automatically have a truck licence. End of story.

Edit: Netherlands also has something similar with older licenses, so it's likely that not only Germans but more foreigners in the UK got this letter.

I think your point on scarcity and attention are well put, but can't apply to NFTs in the way as physical commodities because I think there has to be some notion of originality intertwined.

Like for art pieces, sure people can make copies and put the copies on a wall - but only I have the original to hang up my wall. There is value to most people between having a copy vs the actual thing.

There is obviously a massive disconnect with this and NFTs because anyone can save a copy of a NFT (or the image a NFT represents) and not have its value diminished because all the "copies" of the NFT are the same - since "originally" doesn't apply to digital goods.

It doesn't matter if there is some hash on a blockchain out there saying so-and-so "owns an image", I can still copy the image and get the same value. That is not the case with say having a copy of the Mona Lisa vs the actual Mona Lisa.

NFTs are worthless to me for the above reason aside from the value that other people think they have.
So to sum up, an organization promising to take people's money and keep it safe can't afford to do it except for people with a great deal of money. However, they're still going to accept smaller amounts of money. Did I get that right?
Because they are a platform that promises users they will make money by investing, when in reality only the early adopters / extremely lucky have any chance at making money.
Hard disagree - actually the usefulness is numerous, it’s the protocol(s) I think that either doom it or fracture it’s use.

The big fundamental is it allows for platforms to share equity with their users. It also has a bunch of marginal features downstream of “I can code my treasury/board” and anonymity, but the big one is it allows for platforms to share the upside with early adopters. And if that’s the only benefit, it’s a huge one.

The problem is it has no single protocol. Browsers and http somehow unified on similar standards. I don’t know if that was a miracle, but I don’t see it happening in crypto. There’s a fractal of competition, and that’s actually bad for adoption. It has no correlate, though it’s possible bridges over bridges and a lot of hammering on the UX will eventually paper things out.

But contracts that guarantee revenue share or other types of equity share with users is a significant benefit and a new world.

Regulation May kill it as well.

I'll take a shot, I haven't thought on this too long, but here it goes.

Over the past few years, I think we've seen a lot of the downsides of completely unmoderated social media. Regardless of political affiliation, I don't think I know a single person who thinks the current state of social media is healthy. With the right technologies and budget it's shockingly easy to spread misinformation, propaganda, and hateful rhetoric that will be picked up and taken to heart by some percentage of the population. That's may not be the only reason people find social media to be unhealthy in its current state, but it's definitely one of the top reasons.

So, with that being said, it feels like some sort of moderation is needed. With moderation comes the idea that someone will also need to be the arbiter of truth. I'm not a huge fan of having a few social media companies fill that arbiter of truth role, but honestly, I don't have a better option.

I don't think this is a perfect solution and it can definitely be abused, but I do think it's an attempt to solve a clear problem. I'd rather see them do something to try and fix it and deal with any new issues as they arise instead of just sitting back and pretending like it can't be fixed or that it isn't a problem.
The newest authenticators make a fingerprint of your browser and use that to select a random number that they show you in the app, along with other "controls". You have to pick the correct number, which of course the attacker will not have.
In our internet age, the freedom of speech that truly matters is all digital.
Well, I prefer to victim-blame the idiots who shell out astronomical sums of money for ads; based on these fraudulent "statistics".
I started trying to build a non-PHP Wiki for a hobby, and the notion that I was going to have to implement my own version control on top of it stymied me, so CRDTs looked good to me when I first started to get familiar with the idea.

Trac (project management) does some stuff behind the scenes stored in svn, which it uses for edit history. I always liked that idea. Why have two? I have wished for some time that someone did a Trac for git. I just don't want to be the one to write it.

I've also wished for some time that someone would make a new git, not designed by barbarian cannibals, potentially based on CRDTs.

Somehow these notions melted together and now making progress hinges on whether there's a CRDT out there that's up to the task of managing source code - and written in a language I can handle. So far those two haven't appeared, and based on the number of corner cases I've heard described when I watch lectures on CRDTs, I'm pretty sure if I tried to write one myself I'd never see daylight again, but might see the inside of a padded room. Do you think it's safe to say we're still in the distillation phase of invention where CRDT's are concerned? Is this accidental complexity we are seeing or is most of it intrinsic?

I'm instead spending a lot of my free time on the hobby instead of on writing collaborative tools and/or accidentally writing a Trac replacement.
Well, those are not the comparisons that were being made that I was responding to.

Something tells me that only one side is going to find their likes disabled, though.
It has been possible in some instances for an attacker to port a number directly from the underlying carrier, in this case, bandwidth.com.

When I saw this happen, Google was not aware the number was gone, so calls and texts from other Google Voice users still worked.
Thanks for providing this background.
Still somehow it feels not right to read it. But I suppose it may be some cultural difference. In country I live in correspondence secrecy is a constitutional right, so maybe people value it differently.

I can't tell if you legitimately think the name has shifted (it hasn't) or are continuing the joke.
The best practice is a piece of paper with backup codes on it. And if you don't store that properly, you're out of luck. Nothing is perfect, but paper in a safe is pretty good. The cryptocurrency world has introduced titanium backup code holders, where the code letters are literally etched into titanium. Bullet proof, fire proof, etc..
Lol no. Technically I can be because I'm in an open carry state but I only do that if I'm out in the wild or traveling solo late at night.
I didn’t make this decision. And of course I don’t have this evidence. Twitter has its proprietary data and proprietary analysis of such data. Twitter would be foolish to publish it… (e.g Twitter internal memo shows X people were converted to anti-vaccine groups via its platform) how could that possibly be a good look?
That is not at all equivalent, because the NYT was and is about publishing their own content, and very carefully curated reader letters.

That is not what twitter or facebook or youtube are about. They are platforms for people to share whatever they want with no preemptive filtering. Because of that open access, they have become the de-facto public square, at least except for adult material and violence/gore. Now the companies want to censor increasing amounts of material that are neither illegal nor fall into the clear adult/violence categories.

Why? They claim advertisers don't like certain content, but that's easily solved by having tags associated with various categories. They could even do it for adult and violent content. Allow advertisers to opt out of advertising on material with any particular tag(s).

Another reason is purely political: they want to shape public politics and discussion, or they are afraid the government will retaliate against their platform for hosting certain kinds of legal but dubious content. This is especially the case for covid-related stuff. They don't crack down on false information on other subjects nearly as hard.

They also probably believe that if they don't outright ban certain content, and create a tagging system instead, the mere presence of that content on their platform will change the audience in ways that are bad for their profitability. That may be true, but the net result is still that they're filtering and manipulating public, person-to-person communication and sentiment in the new public square. Corporations should not have that power.

Note:

I separated out adult and violence because they're obvious "but what about" categories. "You want Facebook, Twitter, Youtube to allow all legal content? What about porn and violence?" I don't know if I have a good answer to that question, but there's plenty of legal history about community standards, and porn and gore are usually outside what most communities consider "public square" speech. There is, however, an argument that they're no longer excludable. If SFO parades are an indication of what's tolerable in the modern public square, what rationale does youtube have for restricting anything equivalent? And terrorist killing videos, while they're obviously gory, have educational value. Personally I'd say unban all of it and have thorough tagging, but I think legally and from a corporate perspective there's a middle ground that has to be found, which is: restrict porn and gore, leave everything else alone (subject to tags). It's worth noting that Twitter takes a different tack on adult content: they allow most porn, it just has to be on an 18+ flagged account. I don't see why all social media companies couldn't do that.
Is there any data on how Bison compares to Beef regarding climate impact? I'd expect it to be less damaging because the herds are managed differently, but I have no data on that.
Yes, but the difference is that a Ponzi scheme never created value in the first place and was always zero sum.

If Joe's Farm sells corn and Jane's Lumberyard sells wood, you could invest in either, which they would use to expand, resulting in more corn and more lumber and therefore value was created. Meanwhile, if you invest in Jim's Useless Objects you'll end up with only more useless objects that have no real value to anyone. Jim's running a Ponzi Scheme.
Previously, they were allowed to leave pensions unfunded and just pay it out of future revenue, like Bethlehem Steel. Now they have to fund it like a private corporation would. Now the accounting books are correct.
