> If I receive $XX, would happily pay %Y of that to stay above board

But paying taxes on it doesn't make it legal if it was illegal for non-tax reasons, it just makes it not-tax-evasion.
You could flip that argument too and say that the thousands of dollars one must pay to run an Oxen node is a threshold that intelligence agencies and governments can easily afford. While the idealists who just want to support the onion routing with bandwidth for a few bucks a month are shut out.

That's why tor is so massive, because anyone can support it. But that's also what makes tor vulnerable to sybil attacks. It's a catch 22.

Either way, my warnings bells go off when someone asks for thousands of dollars for crypto coins that have no real advantage like Monero.

Another question that comes up with Oxen is what happens if it's adopted. Because afaik each onion routing node is also calculating the blockchain. So the more transactions happen, the heavier these calculations get, right? So each onion routing node will require a lot of resources eventually, if this ever takes off.
Not to discount your point, but to add on that "Platforms that greedily optimize content distribution should be regulated to prevent an unhealthy incentive structure kicking in"

From NPR:

Barry Levenson, curator and CMO — "chief mustard officer" — of the National Mustard Museum, says a fit of despair led him to create the museum in 1986.

"My beloved Boston Red Sox lost the World Series," he says. "Decided I need a hobby to get over my depression. That's the morning I began collecting jars of mustard."

And Levenson, a lawyer by trade, quickly saw his hobby turn into an obsession.

"I argued a case at the U.S. Supreme Court," he says. "On my way to the court, I saw this little jar of mustard on a discarded room-service tray. I didn't have time to go back to my room. So I brought it with me and argued — and I had a jar of mustard in my pocket."

FCC Proposal Targets SIM Swapping, Port-Out Fraud
This article was totally sad, seeing this brilliant (young) guy becoming a shell of himself was really shocking.
I'm working on a system for the deer that jump my fence and eat everything. Current plan is a servo to unlock the dog door, an audible ding to alert the dog, and a treat dispenser that releases a treat once the deer is gone. The treat would be in the house, and retrieving it would relock the door. I will just have to make sure to turn it off during rut!

The Allen Curve
Noting the satire marker, I’ll just say for completeness: Starlink consumes 100W continuously to operate its phased array beam and the computation requires to drive it. That’s too much power for a sail drone.
I mean, yes, but if you buy a painting you have the exact same issue no ?
Doubtful, since millions of people die or are permanently disabled from a large variety of preventable causes which do not get anywhere near the same media attention or public fear.
I generally agree, but in the specific case of Session, the crypto scam is a feature. The crypto scam provides for the thousand or so independent nodes that makes a ProtonMail-style law enforcement order useless.

Any centralized service like Threema is vulnerable to a court order to log, at the very least, connection metadata.

It's a LOT more expensive for LE to launch a Sybil attack on Loki than to get some bootlicking judge to compel logging and/or silent client update.

But yeah, I totally agree that the crypto scam is long-term unsustainable and Session needs to find a way for the users of Session to have to pay for Loki network access to keep it running.

To the point above, the biggest weakness of Session, by far, is that its official packages are released and signed in Australia. There is no doubt in my mind that .AU will eventually come down hard and compel signing of compromised binary releases. They HAVE to distribute official release building and signing to multiple developers around the world, and soon.

Tuning MongoDB Performance
While that's true, often times tradition and regulation are not the best solutions to the problemx certainly not as technology has evolve.

Not to mention much of the time regulation is not a solution at all but rather just means to protect incumbents.

Edit: To be clear, I agree there is tons of bullshit going on in crypto and DeFi, but I also believe that the existing players are ripe for disruption if they weren't regulatory protected.

There's no reason why I shouldn't be able to do a bank transfer instantly, or why I can't pay a a small business electronically without a large fee going to Visa.
This article describes some of the techniques and MongoDB Cloud features we used to debug performance issues and expose sub-optimal queries.
Thanks for posting. Does it support AWS MSK?
Ok, any explanation must link ads and ad serving to the metaverse as this is 97% of Facebook revenue. Please crack this first.
Code is law! also vigilante justice by powerful actors, though
What is the difference between this and https://github.com/yahoo/CMAK
Good article. For structured data, I’ve had good luck using UUIDs for keys rather than needing an approach that relies on an atomic clock.
They also force this behaviour on Chrome and (I'm pretty sure) Firefox.

Used to be, Firefox would show previously visited sites/pages (arranged by how often you visit them) first.

Now it loads Google search results first and I very often step into them like it's some dogshit on the ground.
> You act like fucking up is the end of the world.

People stopped forgiving and forgetting years ago. Every mistake people make follows them forever now. “Fucking up” is the end of the world for their careers since nobody wants to hire somebody who was publicly outed on Twitter for whatever they allegedly did

Apparently people who are concerned with this are “not willing to accept the effort of empathy”?
Show HN: Zero-install task/command runner implemented in Awk
The whole thing feels like some kind of postmodernist performance art about property and ownership.

Actually, come to think of it, maybe that's a great idea. If people ask questions about NFTs, they might start asking more questions about intellectual property as well, and ultimately about property rights in general. In a sense, NFT is the ultimate absentee property - it's impossible to use or occupy. It's a title to itself.
Why use motion detection sensor if you already have a camera?

sudo apt-get install motion

Raspberry PI is powerful enough to do object detection offline, in real time.
So you don't really need to detect any motion, just detect the animals in the video feed 24x7

In the US there are guilds that have rules that decide who can claim what production and who is qualified to do what job. That is one of the main reasons why while film is really specialized ("gaffers", "grips") you can on a US production know you have people who know how to do what they are supposed. It lets huge movies staff up or staff down really fast.

I am sure there are people who like the model or hate the model, but its creative success in the twentieth is hard to argue with. I think as work forces become more flexible, it is something to think about.
I think of NFT as scrip; substitutes for money like gift cards, Disney Dollars, or Itchy & Scratchy Money.

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dErRj6V8_xQ

You can buy them with money and maybe redeem for goods/service where accepted. Or convert back to money by selling to some other sucker, probably at a loss.
It wouldn't be such a long build up if that were the case.
How's that fraud? did the farmers deceive you?
In my experience, banks and other online institutions have spent years training their customers to fall for phishing attempts by sending legit emails with embedded links. People take it for granted that emails coming into their inbox that contain links to login pages really are from their bank, because that's how their bank behaves normally.
You are quite actually purchasing time and food for the artist to make more art.

That said I am interested in the possibility of NFTs being linked to a key that decrypts some openly licensed content or source files. I think that'd be really cool.

NFTs that sell art into the public domain.
Seriously, they built a custom-built physics engine from scratch that seems to perform much better than the current ones out there (PhysX, Bullet, etc.). This alone is an achievement of years and years of R&D… (For examples of the inner details see https://youtu.be/P-WP1yMOkc4 or some of their technical blog posts)

And the stuff doesn’t end there. Nowadays they also have their own Lua-derivative language forked from Lua 5.1 (https://luau-lang.org/) with many improvements like static typing, performance, and sandboxing. And their renderer seems to work smoothly on low-end computers too, they've probably done lots of optimizations over the years.
Or maybe omnibox sucked until search got so bad that omnibox is better.
Sure, and that means Facebook's plans to get more young teens to use Instagram are worrying and maybe should be regulated.
the greenhouse effect is about internal reflections basically.
its the same effect that makes cloth appear darker when its wet even though water is basically colorless.

> once they've established themselves.

I only recently learned about the term "strawman argument", and I think this is one. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Parents post was not about SW devs who established themselves, but about SW devs in general. That you don't need to establish yourself to still live a good life is exactly one of the advantages of being a SW dev.

Besides that: Establishing yourself as actor often involves attending partys of Harvey Weinstein kind of people.
What you said is exactly right in a world of ephemeral speech, but difficult to employ in a world of permanent records. Anybody can simply link to the joke and stir outrage, over and over, out of the context of the larger learning process.

The Internet never forgets. It is genuinely unclear how to adapt pre-Internet norms. I would prefer presumption of innocence and of a learning process, that is summary dismissal of one-off out of context situations. But viral content (such a fitting expression!) begs to differ.
He should probably remove the writings online where he literally posted exactly as I claimed.

It’s almost as if he’s the sort of person who will take whatever position fits his immediate need.

If Thiel was a genius he’d be more than another rich businessman.

I am close friends with an engineer that worked on a power transform system for the LHC. He’s a moron.

Given humans had to rely on innate intuition of acceptable effort for survival early on; quantity of food, etc, before formal language, I’m leaning into the idea human language are a cognitive boondoggle forced on us by tribal warlords.

Most humans have the same cognitive capability as Thiel, but none of the relative network access, or political burden.

So many old ways are now seen as illegal and manipulative of people too ignorant to falsify them. Thiel is no god and political corruption is everywhere. I see no reason to believe he’s special.

Print out all his dollars as official currency and they all have some words on them claiming they’re property of the US Government. Thiel’s power is reliant on big government.

That is completely wrong. Income is anything of value, not just cash. If you find a gold nugget in your yard, you have to pay taxes on the value of the gold even if you never sell it.
Ah yes, that conversation. Here's the list of things on the road map. Which ones do you want to bump to next quarter/year in order to do this new priority? "None" is only an option if you can somehow retroactively hire another dev 90 days ago.
Now apply a distortion that allows everyone to to make their life seem much better than it actually is, and it’s not difficult to believe these platforms cause mental health problems.
True, but coming from a harsh & strict NDA environment, it's not so easy to be that specific without revealing clues to your identity. And if you aren't prepared to go the full whistle-blower route, best avoided (or make the general assertion here & be specific in a private communication to the FAA, NASA, etc.) .
With the flood of boot camp graduates etc on one hand, cs grads , not being able to find work after sending out hundreds of applications — what would you consider a “software engineer” in terms of merit for being sought after like you mention?
