If the auction contract says they own the media then they own the media. It has nothing to do with the NFT, if the NFT buyer then gave away the NFT and the auction was seen as a valid purchase of the media the purchaser would still retain the media rights.

My point was, if the media rights could really be tied to the NFT rather than the auction contract then you would have something of value, but right now it would just be "Here is an action for media rights. Oh and btw here is also an unrelated hash you get with the purchase". As is for the media rights to go with the NFT you'd need to write a similar contract for every trade. At which point the NFT is totally superfluous, why not just write normal contracts skipping the NFT?

This is a consequence of scale. The larger the community, the less you see each individual, the less you are able to understand the other person. One of the most important posts I read on here was on weirdness budgets. Most people want to speak with people with opinions +/- 5% of their own. If you go beyond that limit, people will ignore you and seek feedback from those within their circle. If someone like TeMPOraL makes a weird argument I am going to pay attention, because he has proven himself as a member of the community.

One of the big related problems I've found is that people are replying wrong.

You should almost never reply to the person that you are disagreeing with. If you do so, and your argument is a good one, the most likely result is that the person you disagree with will be down-voted(even if their argument was in good faith and is their viewpoint was common beforehand!), and your post will follow their post all the way down the page, and no one will see it. This is much worse on reddit, where your post will be hidden.

Instead you should reply to their parent, so that your comment and their comment are at the same level, and by up-voting and down-voting you get to compare the different viewpoints directly.
As the parent told you, same model as limited print runs, allowing the artist to decide how many copies of the same "object" they want there to be.
That's not what is meant by private APIs. There's a difference between the ability to call an API and getting a specific result of the API.

What you're linking to are entitlements. The APIs for these entitlements are very much public but will not yield a valid result if the entitlement is missing or the user hasn't provided access. Private APIs, on the other hand, will return valid results each time. However, they are often hidden behind actual public APIs. For example, take these two stack frames:

9 UIKitCore -[UITableView _reuseTableViewCell:withIndexPath:didEndDisplaying:] + 268

10 UIKitCore __25-[UITableView reloadData]_block_invoke + 184

The reloadData call is a valid, public API call. Internally, it then calls the function in frame 9. Calling the function in frame 9 directly from within app code would be a private API violation. The Objective-C runtime makes it pretty easy to call private APIs through use of target/selectors and msgSend. I don't believe checking at runtime if a private API call is made is practical. For one, I'm not sure how technically feasible it would be but worse, there would be a performance penalty accrued with every private API. More importantly, though, the app would already be out in the wild. Compile-time and app review is really the only time to check. To the best of my knowledge, I'm not sure there's a way to force a private API call within Swift, particularly for classes that don't inherit from NSObject or are functions not tagged with @objc.
Ambassador Cloud: Developer Edition (K8s Developer Control Plane)
Isn't RDRAND broken in Zen1? (I think it was broken on launch in zen2 and zen3 also but they patched it in agesa updates)
Sure that's possible. But it's also overweighting potential harms in an imaginary future scenario over potential benefits today. One can come up with other imaginary scenarios, not to be too dramatic, but the same arguments were likely made against Semmelweis [0] when he promoted hand washing before delivering babies, or the people who discovered the ketogenic diet helped manage epilepsy in the 1920s. [1]

Scientific progress has often been speculative and messy. The few thousand people with ApoE4 genes who read his book and then actually commit to time-restricted feeding, exercising 4 times a week, sleeping 8 hours, and semi-ketogenic diets might have better outcomes a decade from now than those who don't. If that discourages another few tens of thousands of people from taking a potential blockbuster drug in the early years after its release, fine. It's worth the natural experiment to find out because millions of people are not getting much relief from current treatments [2]. This is even more true given that Alzheimer's isn't communicable.

Anything cool you can share? I'm looking forward to seeing the talks when they come out!
Wow... Really really well done.

I love people that throw themselves at a problem that has no real use but just want to master technology. Kudos!!

The board design is a masterpiece too. Really clean.
It's a quantity turning into quality type of situation.

I want to put everybody involved in the UI changes inside a cannon and shoot them into a sun. Seriously. Top left back button isn't flush with the edge and isn't an infinite button. Pure idiocy. Interacting with sound anything has become 10x worse and I want to strangle whoever removed the old volume mixer and made it impossible to cleanly switch audio devices over the icon. I want to waterboard whoever decided to remove the Task manager shortcut from the right-click menu of the Taskbar. It's near impossible to find the wifi security settings with how they're trying desperately to hide the classic interface without providing any way to do the same things I was able to before. after months of dealing with this shit and seeing none of it addressed, I've given up and I'm back on 10. Microsoft. What in the fuck. I was ready to give 11 a fair shot. I gave it more of a chance than it deserved. It made so many of my daily tasks harder and more tedious to do and I can't stand it. Interacting with 11 legit makes me angry.
I'm never in favour of downvote/upvote mechanisms. Moderators should remove repetitive spam and illegal content. Everything else can, and should, be addressed by counter-comments and discussion.
Perhaps one should ask their contractors.
Anecdotally I think I do have an idea of how a "serotonin rush" feels. There's a particular feeling I get most noticeably when seeing the sunshine outdoors on an early morning that's pretty similar to certain feelings I've had from psychedelic drugs. There is a known connection between sunlight exposure and serotonin release so it seems like a reasonable explanation to me.

There are definitely some obvious commonalities among the feelings produced by dopaminergic drugs as well which are similar to the feelings I naturally experience when working on a big project.
Maybe the millions Kellogg's spend on branding could be an argument?
As I said, I'm not interested in word games. So far you've needlessly conflated using the healthcare system with overwhelming the healthcare system (then denied it), implied that the health care system was comparably overloaded before Covid (then denied it), and then introduced a needless debate around whether or not being around in an un-vaxed person could kill you.

What is it about that sentence you are debating exactly? Are you saying it's false, or that me and my loved ones have too low risk of death tolerance? Those are the only two options.

Understand: The degree to which this risk is acceptable is not up to YOU to decide.

Go ahead, put yourself at risk all you want, you have no right to put the safety of others at risk. So do what you want. But we, the rest of society, would like you to stay away from us until this boils over.
It is indeed a difficult balance to strike between keeping things cohesive and keeping them from becoming an echo chamber.

There is something to be said for allowing "flamebait". What's flame to one may be a welcome splash of water for another. Matter of fact, it might be that people who espouse so much "flame" may have legitimate issues fueling that flame.

There is absolutely also something to be said for wrangling conversation so as to keep it constructive. It's the balance of the two that achieves a community that remains healthy over time and not just healthy according to the popular values of any given time.
Sometimes. I often see weirdly dead posts making reasonable points, which I vouch for (and then upvote).

But yeah, a lot of the dead stuff is flamebait, but it doesn't tend to be equal opportunity flamebait.

For an example, if you say positive stuff about Facebook in the latest Facebook bad thread, you'll get downvoted. The converse is not true.
Show HN: Icansell – connect to salespeople for a commission from a closed deal
Hi everyone!
Several years ago, I launched my startup G-71 Inc., which required B2B sales to succeed. After a difficult period of independent sales, we thought about attracting external sales.

After many dozens of meetings with various salespeople, I faced the same questions and problems from the sales side. It took me several months to train sales and several joint meetings with buyers to start selling independently.

Combining all this experience, I figured out how to make it easier for myself and other startups to sell. I figured out how to make sure that any external salesperson can sell any startup solution to their customers if it suits them. At the same time, there are no monthly commissions, only commissions for closed transactions.

I don't think this post will have social disapproval. I appreciate your comments.

>I think it works here when it works, and it doesn't when it doesn't.

Isn't that how everything works? Even the best of things?

>If you're a straight white male (note: I'm not), then I think social dis/approval works well for you.

I think that's a stretch. The west coast where SV is based is full of LGBT+ people. Sure, it's probably mostly white but I don't think I've ever seen a case of racism on here and if it existed, dang probably nuked it from orbit.
Lighters let you use cigarettes, heroin, weed, etc. If you become psychologically dependent on these substances, is your lighter the problem? What do we mean by "the problem" anyways? Depending on how you define "the problem", it can be the cigarette, the lighter, or the smoker, or some combination of all three.

The issue is not "the problem", whose fault it is, blame. It is responsibility. Who shoulders the cost for the issue of smoking? As it turns out: all of them. Cigarette companies have to put health warnings on their packs. Lighters cannot be sold to those under 18. Cigarettes are highly taxed to discourage smokers from buying them. All three are "negatively" impacted because we, as a society, agreed that smoking is bad and should be discouraged.

Similarly with Facebook, smartphones, and end users.
It's so strange to see the same people denouncing censorship everywhere celebrating censorship here. I know, I know. Moderation isn't censorship. Moderation is censorship you agree with. Censorship is moderation you disagree with.

Also, there is plenty of flamebait on HN - especially "cultural" flamebait. Some of which the moderators actively participate in. HN seems to be good at keeping certain types of flamebait in check - the national/racial flamebait ( which may or may not be a good thing ).

If people truly took a step back and assessed this post, they'd realize how sad and dystopian it really is. But people don't like to think. An entire post dedicated to praising the censorship of fellow HN poster.
These days all of them have their perception permanently saturated with the lie that they had all the opportunity and just didn't take it. No surprise many are eager to jump at imagined opportunities whenever they arise. Gambling, speculation, falling victim to some "get rich by becoming a get rich mentor" mentors and so on.

Some poor industrial age miner with no better case scenario than becoming a respected poor miner would have been far more resilient (and surely many fell victim to similar schemes nonetheless)
It's interesting that a person who was a complete antithesis of good had such belief in the inherent goodness of the average person.

Speaking of NeXT, why does it get so much discussion? It was a commercial failure, and it can hardly be called influential, save for its legacy that lives on in Apple products. I'd love to hear what made NeXT so significant (apart from being Steve Jobs' company).
> "free market" never meant an un-fettered market free of government influence and control.

What could it even mean then?

You could maybe make a case that people don't mean a totally free market when arguing using the term, but that's about the degree of freedom. Free market literally means people trading goods and services without coercion.
I landed on HN after more or less knowing/using almost all existing social media at that time. So would be the case with many other avid HN users if I have to take an educated guess. I admit that the transition to this culture took a while. Many 'flamebait' comments and several accounts later, I'd like to think I improved. Not just on HN but overall - real and virtual lives.
This does not mean that my intent earlier was to create toxicity on all the other platforms I had been on. Atleast as far as I know. It was mostly about letting the anger out while being mostly ignorant about the bigger picture and consequences. I am still the same person with similar values. I would still be enraged by the things I was back then. Only the way I react and communicate changed and is still changing.
All I mean here is, HN is a growing community where most new comers would have experienced culture on other platforms before they discover HN. While that is no excuse to tolerate flamebaitedness, there is a good chance that the person is still learning HN culture.
But honestly and gratefully, dang and other 'caretakers' make HN what it is. I sometimes think there is too much control on how communication happens here. With every passing day, I can clearly see why it should be that way.
The commercial real estate market is a major factor. Most new restaurants lease space. If they become popular and have to renew the lease after a few years the landlord will typically raise the rent enough to capture most of the profit.

Larger chains have more flexibility in that they can often take on longer term leases, purchase real estate outright, or move locations without losing customers. McDonald's in particular takes an extremely savvy approach to real estate portfolio management.
Store the sequences in variables and put those instead. You get readability and locality!

This seems to be a classic Private Equity play, but focusing on software. As much as I'd never want to work for or buy from one of these companies, it's smart and there are many reasons why it works.
The larger context is that society is a give and take. I have an old, likely out-of-print, book called "Your Rugged Constitution" that I got from an old Marine. What I like about that book is that it frames each part of the Constitution, not just in terms of what one gets from the government but also what one is expected to give up. I get concerned when people only focus on one side of that equation.

I don't think it should be used as a catch-all, but as a reasoned and balanced approach. It may be used as a justification for "government control", but hopefully people recognize that there is an expectation for something to be received in terms of what was given. It's up to society to determine whether that's a good trade, not to automatically disregard the option because of some "government control" boogeyman.

Take the Fed which is such a big part of this discussion. Society gives the Fed certain levers to affect the economy and monetary policy. In return, society gets more stabilized unemployment and inflation to limit boom/bust cycles. Society has determined that is a reasonable tradeoff. Likewise, we give the Congress the ability to levy taxes and in exchange we expect to be provided common defense and general welfare.

>Has welfare been in some way proven to increase stability? Seattle, Portland, and SF all have strong welfare programs, but they seem to me to currently be much less stable than other cities.

It gets harder to study because of the larger number of confounding factors as you get to larger groups (city, state, or federal levels). There's certainly evidence that social safety nets provide stability at the family level and evidence that safety nets like unemployment insurance enhance stability as well.
As someone on SSRI's as well, I think it's a bit of a mixed bag. I've definitely experienced CBT where my therapist and I worked to tear down some overly harsh views of myself (unrealistic).

The flipside is my struggle with weight.

I (ill-advisedly and not entirely purposefully) was off of my SSRIs for about a week while I was already mildly depressed about my weight gain.

I was much more depressed about it in that week, and I definitely feel like this was because I was forced to deal with the reality of the situation, whereas on my SSRIs I was more easily able to push it out of my mind. There are times when your depression is driven by tough reality (for me, that diet, exercise and un-ending hard work are needed for weight loss), and the only way to become happy in spite of this is either commit to the work or choose to ignore it.
Reminds me of when I worked at a computer shop in the Pentium 1 days.. Motherboards had these complex blocks of jumpers in those days to configure the speeds, there was no autodetecting the CPU.

One day I was working at a different branch filling in for someone on sick leave, and I spent an hour trying to get a PC I just built to boot reliably. Every time it crashed after an minute or so. I didn't get it, everything seemed fine.

Eventually it turned out the "cheat sheet" they had of the jumpers was upside down over there. Someone had copy/pasted the pictures so it was matching the orientation of how they usually had the PC on the desk, rather than upside-down as I was used to. But the text was the right way up. So the total thing looked the same as in our branch except it wasn't.

It was a square block so I hadn't noticed the orientation was different. Turned out I had the 100Mhz pentium configured for 180Mhz. Oops. That wasn't even an officially supported speed of the motherboard but the BIOS messages indicated this (which I only noticed afterwards)

As we didn't want to sell this CPU after the torture I had put it through we decided to use it for a display box instead, and we tried to keep it running as long as possible by using compressed air cans upside down to blow dry ice :D It actually ran reliably until the can ran out. Only later I found out that liquid nitrogen extremeclocking was actually a thing :D

I'm British, and in the UK it's extremely hard to get adult ADHD diagnosis. Basically you have to go to a private doctor and even then they are quite strict. Due to my high academic achievement (doctor in quantum physics) they will probably say I don't have it. The situation there for adult ADHD is so bad that basically I just gave up on the whole thing and decided that I didn't have it.

I live in Germany now, but unfortunately I don't speak German anywhere near well enough to get a consultation.

Missed some basic info about distributed systems:
Partitioning, bucketing, sorting, bloom filters, the fact that you normally create specific logic to backfill rather than run the same 'daily' process N times.

If you come from Dataswarm/Airflow then you can use JINJA for the templating, UPSERTS are better when you want to save space by not keeping the same data for each snapshot you take day after day (on multi terabyte tables the space savings are considerable).

More topics that are usually prevalent in distributed systems:
- Join order
- Type optimization for smaller tables (ones you can fit in memory to do broadcast joins)
- Field codification for extra compression/smaller intermediate shuffles when processing data.
- Field sorting for extra compression
- Caching tables that participate in several parts of the process.
- Rolling accumulating pre-aggregates for multi-day processing
- T-Digest for performant aggs / cubes
- HLL for performant aggs
- etc

I think of it as one of the defining features of Smalltalk, not Lisp, although there is plenty of cross-pollination.

Janet's object system seems to be modeled after ideas first popularized in the Self language -- a Smalltalk derivative -- so there could be some direct inspiration there.

> UK chief medical adviser Chris Whitty was grabbed and shoved in the street

Well he was, but that was nothing to do with him being a scientist nor vicious anti-vaxxers roaming the streets attacking people, it was a couple of idiot drunks who recognised him from the TV and decided to take a non-consensual selfie with him.

Yes, it's not easy. In general I prefer interventions like avoiding them, offering them an alternate way to shop (online/someone will gather a list of the items they want/etc.), or similar measures. I doubt there's any perfect answer.

I do feel if things had been like "here's a mask" from the start, though, that there wouldn't be nearly as many people refusing them.
