What happens if you rug pull after 5 years while being a model NFTer until then? If your customers are buying "real" art or products from you they don't just go poof at that point (with some exceptions, like IoT or some software). Many NFTs do because they hyperlink content hosted on real servers with real costs to run.

And no online community lasts forever either. How does an NFT community wind down? Does the value of those NFTs drop? Slowly or quickly?

It's easy to claim it's about the community when things are going well, but one day some part of the community will be left holding the bag of worthless assets. Is the rest of the community going to bail them out?
When there is police and/or prosecutorial inaction[1] in respect of a crime, why would you expect the statistics of that crime to do anything but go down?

[1] Here's an interesting question - how does police/prosecutorial inaction in cases of shoplifting compare to police/prosecutorial inaction in cases of other crime? Is it more? Is it less? Is it the same?
You are already experiencing that jitter irl. Heads and eyes move around all the time, but we mostly overlook it.
It's not what the implementation uses, but "which conventions does the call interface assume" you can use Pascal to create an operating system with a system interface that benefits Fortran. (I know too little about Fortran to describe what that would look like)

With C and Unix the issue of course is that both were developed around the same time by the same people for working together.
What stops me from copying ticket data from the NFT and using it to enter the concert?

If the concert venue somehow checks ownership of private key associated with the NFT it means they are effectively using some form of identity verification and blockchain is really really bad for this purpose
I did, what the author is saying is that Nfts are not DRM (which is true and well known). They assume DRM is a problem that can be solved, but it can't.
I will 100% agree that neither emacs nor vim are "beginner-friendly", I would hesitate to call them "not user-friendly", they're just very particular about what users they're friendly with.

Well, the two applications I’ve linked above are very graphically intensive (the first one is a map designer, and the second is an image editor), up to the point that it will be meaningless to add any screen reader or dictation support. In some cases you’ve got to admit that it’s close to impossible to bring certain features to people with certain disabilities (although I think this should be its own field of HCI research, maybe it can be possible someday?)
OOM kill exists because swap is not being useful. A process failure is something you can deal with, livelock isn't. If you have an algorithm that works out of core then you'll never hit swap because you maintain the working set below memory limits.
Emm, NFT-ownership is about NOT saving, but having BS exclusive rights to. So, to get the sarcasm right, the NFT-onwer shouldn't brag about how he "saves" (even if he saves something more "special" like 3D models over plain images).

In the context of the "right-click mentality joke" (and in reality probably) NFT-owners are anti-saving.
I see. This doesn't look like a Futaruma Projection to me. What PyPy does is run a python program under their own RPython based interpreter. Then it uses a tracing JIT to JIT the RPython based interpreter. There is no PE going on. No residual specialized program is created.

The first Futaruma Projection would be if PyPy would specialize the interpreter based on the python program yielding an executable.
Is nearmedia part of so called propaganda?
Really, it's a complaint that you're not following the rules of the game they just made up and insist you have to play even though you never agreed to it.
HN people are a wider community than crypto enthusiasts.

My mother-in-law would be as almost dismissive of NFTs as I am, except she doesn't understand technology so she won't be as articulate about it.

I think some crypto enthusiasts hang out with other crypto enthusiasts way too much and that is how they get HODler ideas and drive the price of things up like

Theft under $950 in California is a misdimeanor due to Proposition 47.

https://www.courts.ca.gov/prop47.htm

Meaning that if you get caught, you'll get a fine, community service or a tiny amount of jail time... that is, if they even bother spending resources arresting and prosecuting it.

Notably, it also applies to forgeries. So if someone forges a fake check for $950 that's a misdemeanor too.
It's worth reading the counterpoint - about reactionary "back to the past" architecture in the UK.

https://www.currentaffairs.org/2021/05/the-royal-dystopia-of...

I went to visit Poundbury a few years ago and my reaction was "Seriously?!" It's just as ugly and soulless as the output of the concrete box school. Even the name shows a hilarious absence of self-awareness.

The fact that these supposed extremes somehow manage to meet is an interesting clue to what is really going on.\

Edit: to add, another clue is the bizarre absence of gardens and independent greenery. There are some micro-lawns but most of the land is given over to roads or buildings. There is very little integration with nature.
Of course if you are so used to it you may not see the benefits, it's like those people who have crafted their vim/emacs environments and do not appreciate IDE advancements.

But if you think about the occasional user, the new user, the one who does not have such an experience it's like sky vs earth.

In VMs you have to think about a lot of things. Mounting external filesystems, bridging the network, starting and stopping the machine, GPU integration, copy/paste, guest additions, headless vs screen (what screen? do you need a VNC instance?) and so on. It's overwhelming and even dangerous (did you do "rm -rf /directory" withour remembering you mounted your whole host filesystem there? oh my..)

All this stuff is greatly simplified with a lot of Microsoft engineering time that went behind it. Linux processes are very integrated with Windows ones, you install everything with one command, it "just works", and, being target at programmers, all the developing tools stuff work seamlessly.

So yes, for a lot of users it's a huge deal
Twenty years of steady if low-level war have turned out many men (and women) who have established their credibility in war zones far beyond Hemingway's, and some of those men (and I suppose women) have written books.

Our Postgres is not an RDS replacement. Lots of devs use RDS with Fly. In fact, Postgres on Fly is just a normal Fly app that you can run yourself: https://github.com/fly-apps/postgres-ha

Ultimately, we think devs are better off if managed database services come from companies who specialize in those DBs. First party managed DBs trend towards mediocre, all the interesting Postgres features come from Heroku/Crunchy/Timescale/Supabase.

So we're "saving" managed Postgres for one of those folks. For the most part, they're more interested in giving AWS money because very large potential customers do. At some point, though, we'll be big enough to be attractive to DB companies.

I feel your pain. Life seems to get more completed over time, especially when you’re managing properties, businesses, etc.

I scan everything with ScannerPro on my iPhone (which OCRs text to make it searchable) as items come in via mail etc. or print to PDF if I see myself needing something later. Scanned docs sync to Dropbox, and I move them to their appropriate Dropbox folder (e.g. property, taxes by year, biz, etc.) when I sit down at my laptop. It’s worked pretty well. I think the key is focus on the new docs, and you’ll eventually stop needing to refer to the old paper docs in your old folders (rather than trying to scan literally everything, which seems like a daunting task).
It’s refreshing to read a piece of reactionary tripe that feels like it was plucked right out of the nineties. If you’re too young to remember, it was journalism like this that brought us “superpredators” and the Clinton/Biden crime bill. Makes me feel young again.

None of which is to say that there isn’t a crime problem in San Francisco — there obviously is. But read this article very carefully, the style is insidious. This is a rushed out opinion piece masquerading as a deeply researched exposé.
There are people who steadfastly believe minorities cannot or should not be conservative. Witness the reactions to the black lieutenant governor of Virginia vs other minorities being elected to office. The former gets accused of being a black white supremacists because she’s conservative and mr Blackface got a pass because he’s a white liberal. Had he been the same person but been conservative or libertarian he’d have been cancelled… but no, not in this case.

The mayor of Detroit too. He won a write-in campaign against a progressive. Now Democrats are trying to strip him of some of his appointments because he's a little too conservative for them and not progressive enough.
Nationally, yeah.
I don't know about this art stuff, but NFTs seem made for solving the problem of deepfakes. Say a politician does a speech, it is recorded, hashed, a corresponding token is generated and archived. We can all verify that the token exists and has not been tampered with. When someone posts a video of that speech, we can verify whether it's the original "as aired", modified in some way, or fully synthetic. The politician may very well be lying through their teeth, but we can at least verify that the recording is authentic, and of reality as it happened.
> Want to own the unique special edition sword with rare attributes in the Zelda-verse or the uber lazer in your favorite open world space game?

Isn't my favourite open world space game ultimately managed by a centralised developer, creating a centralised game; and recognition of my "ownership" only as meaningful as the developer happy for it to be?

Put it another way, what difference is there for me as a user compared to "owning" a ship in my open-world space game today?
I mean, I also can call functions from kernel32.dll on Windows without need of any libc, and the ABI is stable and will not change; and if/when MS decides to change the actual mechanism of switching into the kernel mode, or decide to move some stuff from the kernel into the user space ― they can, and I don't have to worry about that (and recompile my apps) because it's all abstracted away! "Fix it once in the shared library, and all its clients will benefit automatically".

On Linux, however, we have, for example, glibc on one hand which claims that it doesn't have a goal of forwarding all of the Linux's syscall, and several failed initiatives on the other hand to allow the user's code to perform syscalls only from inside of glibc (which spells doom to anything that doesn't use libc, e.g. Golang) because of security reasons. And the history of still having to support INT 80h together with SYSCALL on x64 on the third hand.

Fund manager here -- I _also_ recommend going with Vanguard index funds, but a five year horizon is _very_ short. Many of the top investors world-wide think there is going to be a relatively imminent crash, an index fund (if it were me I would do S&P500) and you'll be fine in the long run but the short term (5 years is short) is very up in the air.

If everybody believes in Unicorns, and no one ever mentions that they don't exists, then we can all ride Unicorns around all day!

"Right clickers" are people who not only do not believe, but insist on ruining everyone else's ride by continuing not to believe. If only we could eliminate these Faithless ones, think of all the problems we could solve!

This comes up repeatedly and I'd like to understand it better. I have bought computers from Dell and Lenovo mostly and they have worked flawlessly. I've been consciously avoiding Nvidia GPUs (and dGPUs in general) because they are overkill for developer work (unless I did an insane lot of local number crunching). My Fedora and Ubuntu installs have tended to work out of the box.

Would you like to describe what happened in more detail?
It's not affecting me deeply. Why are you being reactive and emotional? There are other Wikipedia pages that do not get posted every year or so thus your objection to my observation and suggestion is unreasonable.
Crypto is the best bet if you are willing to take a large risk. Downside is 50% at most. Upside pretty infinite

Ton (the telegram blockchain) has been revived
Ton, one year after the SEC blocks the coin (and its ico) now thanks to the community is back more alive than ever. Durov (the owner of telegram) has given (for free to the community) http://ton.org and http://ton.sh, now the project is maintained regularly, there are hundreds of validators and miners, Ton in a few hours will be put in a famous exchange
Spectrum seems to be having issues for myself as well. Another coworker noted he’s having issues, though I’m not sure of his provider.
I'm the author - if that's what you got from the article then maybe I need to rewrite it, but it's primarily around the issue of how art is displayed.

Looking at a picture on a screen is really fucking boring.
Yes, it's not the Extend, it's rather an Embrace. The system in question, WSL, is being updated to match an existing, well-established standard, so, Embrace.

To some extent I can capitulate on that, but you are right in that this system does not solve for "caveat emptor".
What happens when a dev says "Hey the rare sword is really cool! insert into character_inventory (player, item) xxx, yyy"?

The NFT is worthless bunk, because the company is free to print just as many of the items as they please.
Doesn't the gaming applicaiton seem to negate some of the core aspects of crypto-currencies - the decentralization. If you want a rare artifact in the Zelda-verse, why wouldn't you buy it from nintendo? And why would nintendo want to support a 3rd party market place. I've bought some NFT from some guy - why is Nintendo going to abide by that? Why wouldn't Nintendo just set up their own store and let you trade your items there, and while they're at it they can create new items and issue them and tweak the store to control in-world inflation?

What you seem to be describing is "Here's something you might want to do in a game, and here's how you could implement that with NFTs" but what you seem to be missing is I can do exactly the same thing without NFTs, and in most of your scenarios as the game developer the NFT solution gives me less flexibility, less control and potentially restrict my ability to monetize. As a game developer I need to be able to step in and fix the economy if it breaks.

What you need to be doing is demonstrate scenarios that we can't trivially solve through traditional methods. The steam store already exists, you're not solving a problem by re-writing it to use NFTs.
> No company should ever spend more mitigating a risk than the potential cost they could incur from the risk

Funny, after the fact they are usually out a lot of money and they decide that they now do want to mitigate that risk.

> on the topic of Vim, using J to go down was (and is) quite confusing, probably because I feel like Up should be before Down..

I think I shared this intuition. Thankfully using vim keys on many things for a long time has ground it out of me, so it never trips me up anymore
Pick a reputable company like Vanguard and sift through their categories of funds (index, sector, bonds, REITs, etc). Each will come with its own risk profile and past returns, so from there filter down into an investment thesis. Think Silicon Valley will keep doing well? Then consider a tech-heavy fund. Want to cash in on real estate plays? Then look into the holdings of their REITs.

Once you do that, find equivalent funds across the various companies, and pick the one which has the lowest fees.

For increased risk, put heavy allocation into a single sector. For reduced risk, pick multiple asset classes (e.g. bonds and international). For the most conventional options, look at the composition of target date funds, which balance risk geographically and temporally.

Once you have a picture for what funds you want, use a screener to explore from there. Iterate on the thesis as needed
White people are not the only ones capable of being racist. A good many people of color look at how pervasive white supremacy is and decide their local maximum is to align with the white supremacists. Internalized white supremacy is a bitch.

The threat of violence in the form of intra-tribal and inter-tribal violence was commonplace, even though nation states weren't a thing. I can't imagine that being less stressful than today where we have very close to zero chance of being murdered.

Simple: Have the government recognize NFT ownership and enforce it. Perhaps that's the future of blockchains: Automated records for the masses enforced by central government, with courts to provide exceptions.
Can't go wrong with Vanguard index funds. But educate yourself first. Knowing about the stock market and how it works earns you more dividends than actual stocks.

Disclaimer: not affiliated, but I hold Vanguard index funds.
I consider this statement false
This is an insane statement. Have you ever heard of government? Of non-profits? Of individual work? Publicly funded research?

This is the kind of statement I'd expect to hear at one of those libertarian meets where they threaten you with toaster licenses.
The article doesn't actually claim they are publishing astroturfed propaganda. It says Google references three organizations, one of which has been accused of an Astroturfing campaign by some other organisation, which apparently we are automatically supposed to trust (because we trust everybody who opposes big coporations, I guess?).

That google supports organizations that work towards their own goal again is hardly "nefarious", but completely normal and sane behavior. What else are they supposed to do? Donate money to their enemies (which incidentally, they actually do, I expect, but that is besides the point).

I am just tired of such articles breathlessly proclaiming big corp conspiracies for normal, sane behavior.

I also don't see any references to "a study" in the article. And just because they support some organization that wrote something they like, doesn't mean they paid for that particular thing to be written.

Even so, can we not expect some basic internet knowledge from Google users? Why would they automatically trust anything somebody links to support their cause? Of course if you follow a link from Google that says "this supports our cause", you take into account that the source is probably biased.

Maybe the real issue is that people have some unrealistic expectations of Google to be some god-like neutral benign entity only working for the common good? No such things exists - and no, governments are not it, either.
But if someone with money to spend transfers it to a crypto scammers account rather than buying say a car, that avoids inflationary pressure on car prices.
I'm using a Windows loaner until my Mac is provisioned. They had a supply-chain snag at some point.

This is kind of why I asked - there is nothing in Windows that calls my attention in a "Oh wow! This is good!" way. Quite the contrary - the upper crust of Windows 10 is polished, but every now and then I see dialogs that render text differently, with different widgets that don't quite work the same way as the rest. It's a bit like running xedit on a Gnome desktop.
>Want to own the unique special edition sword with rare attributes in the Zelda-verse or the uber lazer in your favorite open world space game? Buy the NFT block chain address to it that says you and only you can have it (check out Phantom Galaxies).

Where's the decentralised part there? A game maker can already add a row to their database saying your account owns the item with a lot less overhead. You already have to rely on the game maker anyway to allow you to use it in the game, whether it's a row in a table, a digitally signed message, an NFT or a paper certificate.

NFTs would add lots of complexity to the cases you mentioned, but I don't see that they're bringing any value other than buzzword compliance.
Oh man, I knew it was dangerous to read this thread. Paperless-ng looks awesome.

You may have just convinced me to ditch Evernote.

Thanks to you next weekend will likely be a write-off :-)

I’ve been wanting to get off Evernote for years. I can see myself using this in combination with Obsidian.
OK, but then why did you expect that NFTs would solve the problem of art display? It's a bit of misrepresentation of what NFTs do, the closest thing of which is, it's like a certificate of authenticity. In other words, i dont think most people expected NFTs to solve that problem anyway

In any case even if someone makes a display that only works with original NFTs it doesnt change the fact that anyone else can make a screen that doesn't. We re back to the Napster and Kazaa problem.
What is the penalty in other places?
