> And even if you think that this kind of market culling is fine, I'm not seeing why all that money should go to the first asshole who managed to secure a large loan in time to buy off the entire stock of some good.

Very well said, but I'd go even further -- scalpers know other scalpers will do the same and create artificial shortage so they are actually preying on legitimate customers, so there's an adversarial component to the behavior of scalpers as well.

We rationed toilet paper during the lockdowns and there was a legitimate reason people were hoarding it, but we do nothing about scalpers who have no legitimate reason for their behavior.
The JVM is hot garbage. It is slow to start up, a memory hog - and like you mentioned previously, overabstracted - no amount of magic unboxing of primitives like int help its performance. There are 100s of different parameters one can set to control garbage collection and other performance characteristics. It's a job in itself dealing with the beast of JVM. YMMV but every time I've dealt with Java I was dissapointed. I'd much rather use C++, Julia, or pretty much any other AOT or JIT than Oracle/Sun's JVM.

You keep saving face. So you admit Linux is largely dynamically linked. Well Windows is too, even to C stdlib, look at how many versions of MSVC runtimes are in your system32 dir after just a few installs. Templates are preprocessor so obviously they are "statically linked."

Microsoft has a COM API (which a lot of C++ uses) but when I used to develop, I'd just call kernel32, user32, advapi32, and other system C APIs directly. COM is a POS imo. DirectX is a decently engineered class-based API. But the rest of them have a lot of flaws.

If you were really hardcore you'd know that these dlls in turn call ntdll, many calls in ntdll are undocumented but much faster than their wrappers in the other dlls. But no sane person is going to strictly do ntdll calls except for the most performance critical code.

I used to reverse engineer and delve deep into the windows API. I know a little bit more about performance than the average high level programmer.

And ultimately, .NET does a fine job with performance. C++ coders crapping all over .NET should take a look at the Objective C API of Apple. It's the default and every Objective C call incurs overhead and is basically a wrapper around the undocumented C API. But I don't think anyone ever complained about this abstraction, because it's such a stupid and small amount of performance to harp about. The convenience outweighs the tiny little uOPS loss.

I was just thinking to myself that maybe it's my age or something but the fact that I am sat a thousand miles away watching a video, on my phone, from inside a hurricane that was recorded, edited, and published all in less than a day, is one of those "I'm living in the future, aren't I?" Moments.
The naturalist fallacy, in a nutshell.
What explains why someone who chooses not to get vaccinated (because: "vaccines don't work", "it wasn't tested enough", "we don't know enough about long-term side effects", "5g microchips satanic Fauci ran Moderna NWO Bill Gates", "COVID is overblown") would take at prophylactic that is more invasive, produced by the same companies, had approximately the same amount of testing under more challenging testing circumstances, etc.? Many of these people are additionally rejecting in-hospital medical treatments in favour of their preferred alternatives. We're seeing a lot of instances of people berating the doctors saving their lives for not treating them with something they found out about on the internet.

Unless you mean that those people are lost sheep to begin with and the prophylaxis benefits the rest of us -- in which case, I agree!
I think the topline, that Facebook would rather be seen as competently evil than incompetent, is dead on.

But I think that, in his larger arc, Vinsel's epistemology isn't correct. Early optimistic predictions about emerging technology are just that - early and optimistic. There are always extreme early ideas about new tech. Just go google up peoples' predictions (and fears) from 2015 about how VR would transform things. The thing that makes them dangerous is when they show potential for being correct society warps around them. We start spending billions of dollars on self driving cars in 2015 with valuations based on them being delivered in 2020.

But what is the alternative? Vinsel wants us to have "sound information" - but making predictions that end up being wrong is part of checking that something is sound! The future is uncertain. It's true that nothing is ever as big as people think - sometimes it's bigger - but mostly it's much smaller. That guy who wrote the report for McKinsey (a group one should never trust in general) was really hyped to get headlines or really hyped on AI and because he's good at his job you can't tell which it is. The article is clearly nonsense, but it has credibility because it exists on the far side of a sea of uncertainty about something. It's fantasy to imagine we can "know" what something will be and this process seems unfortunately human and unavoidable.

I also think there are a lot of people doing good work in STS on these issues. John Cheney-Lippold, Natasha Dow Schüll, Virginia Eubanks, and Adrian Mackenzie are some of my favorites. I'm excited to read Your Computer Is on Fire but I haven't gotten to it yet. Heck, I think 90% of the bad tech hype is covered the old classic Leviathan and the Air-Pump.

There is another great post about nft availability.

https://blockrotate.medium.com/nft-availability-is-a-problem...
When you have a baseball card, the first sale doctrine means that you at least have the legal right to display and transfer that card. With NFTs, even that is not necessarily the case because displaying the content of the NFT is making a copy, and you may not have a license to do that.
NFTs are a scam as old as markets themselves. Buy your own supply at any price, then sell to a sucker at a "discount".

Sprinkle around marketing bullshit about how all real world things will be NFTs one day, be really good at capturing imaginations and creating fantasy. More suckers get in.

They'll end the same way as similar scams too - founding teams had no skin in the game since they just paid themselves, pros will ride the wave and cash out in time, and suckers will be left without bids.
maybe you get the sunshine case out of the door quicker. But beware new-year or leap years. Or daylight saving change. Or non-ascii.

I mean, who would ever care about fringe cases when you can have continuous delivery instead?

You are confusing the outcomes of 'serious illness' - which you presented numbers for, and 'death'.

Yes you are correct to say if something is effective 999,999 in a million, it is 0% effective in the 1 person.

As you specifically mention deaths, but present no information regarding it here is the UK data: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsde...

All cohorts: 51,281 total covid deaths in the 6 months Jan - July 2021. 640 of which had 2 doses of a vaccine.

While that may be true, it doesnt change how art is valued today, and its cultural position today. It's no secret also that the rough pareto distribution of art is as alive as it is elsewhere. Most art or music isnt even consumed by anyone outside of the author, conversely about 5% gets 95% of the attention, with individual pieces generating millions (and getting millions of views), same applying to music
I believe that Doctorow is missing the most important issue here.

The elephant in the room is the privatization of your social space and that Facebook is a private spy agency. That is what makes FB extremely dangerous.

The fact that FB is private, efficient and full of technically brilliant people is not good for the rest of society, because the society can not imagine what those brilliant guys could do with their data.

For example, I go to a party with friends. I don't have facebook, but one of my friends have it. He takes a picture of the group and posts it on FB.

Now the fact that I went to the party, the place of the party, the time, the people that went to the party, the private opinions of some friends about other friends, girl-boyfriends or lovers(if they used FB channels like wassap to communicate) has been recorded for the rest of my life and can be accessed by American spy agencies like the NSA.

Society expects FB will forget because they as humans do forget, but machines never forget.

People talk about a crush on someone else with a friend and expects nobody listening(on wassap), but a bug is always on, recording everything they write or say.

FB is like Stasi, only way more efficient and that applies to the entire world population instead of just one country.

And they are constantly pushing the boundaries of privacy like using "smart glasses" so espionage is full in your life.

And they are constantly improving their AI techniques so even when they could technically not do something today does not mean they could not do in five years with the data that they already collected about you.
No. Regular market rules apply exactly like with fidget spinners.

Marketing and hype? Demand increases, sales go through the roof. Hype passed? No one is buying.

With NFT situation is 1:1.

Just like people that collect stamps pay x100-x1000 for many. Do they have value? No. Scam? No.
Yes, you can sign it with your own private key because you are now the "creator".

That's the point of digital assets, they are fungible by definition because it's a bunch of 1s and 0s, doesn't matter which system you run it on you will get an indistinguishable output.

That's exactly how you know you've got it. The difference is that you didn't feel the heat of FOMO convincing you to dive in without an understanding.
You are effectively "registering" the permissions on a separate service, so you need to handle updating those accordingly.

In the case of deletions, for example, you would need to track what entities you are deleting and call the service to update/delete the related permissions.

You could do this with some worker subscribing to postgres NOTIFY if you wanted to keep it closer to your DB layer (but that is async, and you may end up losing changes in the case of worker outages), or you could do it in your app where you would have more control over the transaction.

EDIT: I'm not associated with SpiceDB/Authzed in any way.
They are also much cheaper than a lot of NFTs eg a late one for $18k https://www.artsy.net/artwork/andy-warhol-marilyn-announceme...
If you don't take no for an answer and won't accept anything besides people agreeing to your goals then it is you who is not arguing in good faith. Correct misunderstandings, refute falsehoods, but ultimately you need to let people make their own decisions.

Accusing someone (or worse, groups) of "shifting goalpoasts" is a lame excuse to write of discussion. People can an do have multiple concerns where some of those take a backseat until others are resolved. People can be afraid to state their true concerns, often rightfully so considering how quick they can be grouped with all the other wrongthinkers and summarily condemned and ridiculed. And when it comes to groups - especially such nebolous ones as "the anti-vax side: - the apparent (ie loudest) argument can shift just by the group composition changing.
If not for the energy costs NFTs would be just like you describe above - a somewhat pointless but harmless hobby for enthusiasts (what good does speculating on baseball cards do in the world? What good does speculating on art do for that matter? As far as I can tell "little to none" for both of these).

Unfortunately that's not the case.

Yes - NFTs are not scarce, but the only property of an NFT is scarcity! It's like something Marcel Duchamp Salvador Dali would have thought up. It's exclusivity without having to drag yourself out of bed and get to an exclusive nightclub.

No it would not make even the tiniest dent. I don't get this sort of reasoning. We keep, and keep, and keep treating this like "let's force everyone" problem. Jevon's paradox. If we kill beef production, we change nothing.

Oil and coal that gets dug up gets burned. Law simply does not apply to all states that do this, so these sorts of measures are dead in the water. So the ONLY way to lower (eventual) greenhouse emissions is to leave coal and oil in the ground. Such measures can only ever change WHY fossil fuels get burned, bitcoins instead of steel production, not WHETHER or not coal gets burned ...

They can't leave oil in the ground. They can't leave coal in the ground.

Problem is that the real change we need can't be done with law, with political action, with any of that ... it can only be done by competing with oil. Outcompete oil and the problem is solved. No country will risk it's energy supply dropping by 0.1% for the climate, it's just not going to happen. Sure, they want to score points with the young political action crowd, but not where it poses actual risks to the economy. So this can only be done with science. You want to help the climate? Get a real education in chemistry and physics and figure out some small part of the problem.

> I’ll be pretty shocked if I’m “spied on” with this style of device.

A few days ago I was trying to figure out what an AirTag is, so I read the Apple website. They claim that ordinary people don't need to worry about being tracked, because users who are travelling with an AirTag that is not theirs will have an alert sent their iPhone.

This raises three questions which were conveniently elided on Apple's website:

1. What prevents people from using AirTags to track Android users?

2. How does the notification balance false positives, true positives, and notification fatigue in the situations where "someone next to me on the bus leaves an AirTag behind." How is it distinguishable from "someone snuck one into my pocket on the bus"?

3. Under what circumstances will Apple be willing to suppress the notification that one is being tracked by an AirTag?

I'm originally from the UK, and now live in a post-Soviet country and I'd say people here are much more accepting of people who are "different". I guess this is partly due to the history of Russia and the USSR, as there was a lot of migration between countries in the past hundred years or so. A lot of my friends who are "native" have grandparents or such from another country.

The only case where being
"different" may have issues is if you are not straight... but in larger cities now it is usually accepted as long as you don't flaunt it. Two men sharing a hotel room would not raise eyebrows on its own, as people like to travel with friends and like to spend as little money as possible, but if you are affectionate in a bar it's a different story.
That needs to be sourced from somewhere; the classic understanding of airlines is they usually overbook [0] and rely on people not turning up.

In fact, the whole "lets not sell our inventory, we'll make higher profits!" idea here is suspect. The idea that having unsold inventory in the model is a good idea is just false; having inventory left over is always undesirable. If it was sold at the last minute then they would have more profits. The scalpers are incentivised to minimise leftover inventory to the point where it isn't going to be a big deal.
