That only really solves the problem of authenticity if all speeches are “NFTed”. If you see a video of a politician making offensive remarks outside of a speech setting, you can’t say it didn’t happen just because it wasn’t in NFT format.

You can write the example below in jq as

def avg: add / length;
group_by(.url) | map({
"url": .[0].url,
"hits": length,
"avg": map(.response_time) | avg
})

so jq should be (at least roughly) as powerful as JSONiq.

Mostly true, although the ceiling at which you become interesting is dropping for multiple reasons.

Given the time cost of retrofitting effective security, waiting until you become a worthwhile target doesn't work. But hiring secops and spending time on security engineering instead of your product is also deadly to startups. It is another knife-edge for startups to walk.

Welcome to NoFILTER, the unstoppable, uncensorable, undeplatformable freedom of speech app. By design, this app allows you to spread your word without limits. This app and your articles reside on the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), a decentralized mesh network consisting of thousands of user nodes. There is no web server, no database, and no cloud; therefore, making this app and your content unstoppable and undeplatformable.

When your article gets published to IPFS, the hash of the contents of the article becomes the name of the file. If one character gets added or removed the hash name changes; therefore, making it impossible to censor.

If a government were to try to block the nofilter.org domain, you can still access the site and the content via hundreds of IPFS gateways around the world as well as through #IPFS directly by downloading the ipfs companion browser extension or by using the Brave browser which natively supports the IPFS protocol.

I suspect that there is a strong relationship between distaste for anything crypto and lack of any crypto substantial assets.

The problem is that just about everyone here could be a multi-millionaire if they had just taken a few minutes to set up pool mining on their gaming rig back in 2010.

I think there is a tremendous amount of latent bitterness, embarrassment, and frustration about this. I include myself in this group. Folks should pause to reflect on this and determine how much these facts are clouding their opinions.

Crypto is just a new interesting technology. Maybe it will last, maybe not. But the amount of hate and skepticism on this forum is way, way out of proportion to the reality of the thing.
"Ms Thomas suggested that in some cases she gave metal positive results because she thought it was "stupid" that the Navy required the tests to be conducted at -100F (-70C)" - was she right, or was there a sound rationale for this?
There are multiple problems in the architect community. One is the marquee architects were all raised up in a post-war era where--some have argued--their designs are more influenced by PTSD than art. The brutalism of a modern building was certainly influenced by the materials--prestressed concrete and poured concrete, for example--but to put a stark and ugly face on a building requires a broken mind.

Those marquee architects influenced the later architects, who aren't as broken, but still want the cache. So they add "textures." Then, when CAD took off, it got even easier to do big boxes fast and cheap. The premier design software today, Revit, is so good at churning out box buildings.

We were able, through materials science, to increase vertical density at the cost of human scale structures. Lost is the recognition that buildings don't stand alone. They are a part of society, and the way buildings are designed and built reflect the society they are in, and they affect the society in which they are placed.

We don't build grand buildings anymore. What we build looks more like the box a building would come in. The interesting thing is, if cheap energy ever becomes scarce, all these lauded brutalist structures will become useless. While the stout, high-ceilinged brick and stone structures, with operable windows and lots of natural light will remain.
We are slowly transitioning into the Metaverse.
NFTs struggle to authenticate even themselves.

NFT is just a JSON with a URL, and if the URL isn't guaranteeing immutability, then NFT isn't either.

Everything goes digital using a document scanner. I have a Fujitsu Scansnap, it connects to my computer via wifi so it doesn't have to be near my computer.

For digital, I use Google Drive, with rough organization of Taxes/2021, Taxes/2020, ..., Health, Family, Notes, etc. Don't obsess too much, you rarely go back in time so it's OK to keep it lightweight and optimize for the "now" when inserting and spend that little extra time searching later when retrieving.

The exception are things that are too tedious to scan (50+ page mortgage doc), are required to be paper for legal reasons (birth certificates), or sentimental items. Those are surprisingly few, and go into a hanging-folder plastic tub that has a waterproof gasket on the lid.

Most damage from house fires is the water from the firehoses, so it's important to protect from water damage first, then worry about fire damage if you keep your documents at the top of your home (attic). I store my document tub in the bottom of my closet, so it's relatively safe.

Someone mentioned hicetnunc.xyz here, so I went and took a look at their FAQ. I thought this was interesting[1]:

> To make it easier for buyers, please leave a trace to any social profile or website in the description of your artwork, so potential buyers can validate the authenticity. If you can link the NFTs the artist is advertising on the profile with the NFTs on Hicetnunc, you can assume it is legit.

So NFT markets are relying on third party social media sites to prove authenticity. And I suppose artists would rely on the government an actual copywright law if they wanted to enforce anything.

My uncle is an architect and he's desperately trying to retire. It's so obvious that he was only in it for the money.
Well I don't think so, unless you're saying 'disagreeing with NFT value' is 'technically illiterate'?

I thought you were sort of remarking that NFT proponents are the ones not technically literate (paying for NFTs rather than being aware of right-click>save) so I just meant that no, it's being used the other way around, by the proponents, derogatorily about the people who would rather right-click>save an image than 'invest' in an NFT.

Perhaps you realise that, and I just misunderstood your comment.

> "Separate but Equal"

Arguably, nostalgia of such community schools is not just for KKK lovers. France famously has racially-mixed schools with a lot of racism which ensure some minorities are not well educated (who cares if they can read as long as they can work?). bell hooks, a famous black activist/scholar, says in "Teaching to transcend" [0]:

> School changed utterly with racial integration. Gone was the messianic zeal to transform our minds and beings that had characterized teachers and their pedagogical practices in our all-black schools. Knowledge was suddenly about information only.

> School was still a political place, since we were always having to counter white racist assumptions that we were genetically infe­rior, never as capable as white peers, even unable to learn. Yet, the politics were no longer counter-hegemonic. We were always and only responding and reacting to white folks.

> That shift from beloved, all-black schools to white schools where black students were always seen as interlopers, as not really belonging, taught me the difference between education as the practice of freedom and education that merely strives to reinforce domination.

> What if a new CEO takes over and decrees that everyone must now learn to communicate in a language other than English? What do I do?

First, trade stock on that knowledge. I imagine a sector that’s heavily-regulated and nomenclature-gated, like Japanese banking or dialysis. The side effects of a new protocol mean much higher risk in the long term.
I tend to agree but there is a chance that a normal keyboard and the camera pointing down at it will be enough to make you comfortable typing. I believe this is what they aim for, but it is yet to be proven effective.
That doesn't answer my question though. Is there any evidence that this is what is happening here? If there is, is the "extinguish" phase even possible? I think the answer to both is "no".
No one knows when the market is going to crash; that's the point of indexing.

Doesn't sound specious to me. The artificial scarcity is real, and has real consequences for real people. While trust is the primary property of money, scarcity-at-any-point-in-time is a fundamentally necessary (but not sufficient) to be a money.

Do you have a different definition of specious?

I doubt that bosses of large corporations keep the customer's needs as their priority. As far as my experience goes, people in power are just as human in either structure, and they can, and do make decisions that some don't agree with.

Also, there are Linux distros that are maintained by large corporations, like Oracle Linux. Not every distro is governed the same way.

People are loath to believe that minorities might be conservative, so they use all kinds of racist tropes and tools to present them as the actual bad thing.

Look at former racist house representatives who were Democrats but renounced their racism. It's as if they never espoused racist views. But if they had been conservatives, then by definition they could never disavow their racist past and would for ever be racists.
Has this problem not already been solved by digital signature schemes, and are NFTs not built on these very digital signature schemes, and have the digital signature schemes not been utterly useless for solving the deepfake problem, and have deepfake problem not been completely exaggerated to begin with?

I'm actually unsure what you gain from NFTs over simple PGP except the buzzword factor.
oh those Sountheners and the evil Democrats huh?
The causes of the lockdown shortages are cultural, toilet paper disappeared in Northern European and English speaking countries, while in Italy (and I think in some places in Spain) yeast could not be found.
NFT ownership is only exclusive within the community of people who take NFTs seriously. Kind of like one guy in an insane asylum claiming a particular chair. Maybe that's a big deal to other inmates, but none of them should mistake their environment for the real world where the claim doesn't matter.

Git techniques
Over a sufficiently long term timeline for certain types of investments, the latter often turns into the former. Total-market stock funds on a 30-year timeline are volatile, but are unlikely to lose your money in any scenario in which money continues to have value. Total-market stock funds on a 5-year timeline have a substantial risk of getting out less than you put in, just from an ordinary downturn, let alone a major crash.

(I agree that the term "risk" often conflates a variety of things, and in this context should primarily mean "risk of losing your investment" rather than "day-to-day volatility".)
Is this an excuse for the remarkably reprehensible views of the National Review?
Not really. Separate out your JIT into well defined components (compiling a method, installing the compiled version, invalidating the compiled version, deoptimising, etc.) and make sure your JITs use those common interfaces. The JVM manages to support multiple JITs (including Graal which is written in Java) and multiple GCs through this sort of approach.
Or, and hear me out, we’ve all seen our fair share of swindlers and con men in crypto and understand this isn’t much different.
I'm neither new nor young - I'm just a guy that gave this thing a chance and really liked the results.

The right click save argument is boring. It's not the image that's the NFT, it's the entry on the blockchain.

I agree about the "typical" NFTs you're talking about, they are referred to as digital collectibles, and yeah they don't do it for me either, but within NFT land there are multiple eco-systems, including those that are centered around what you would traditionally perceive as art.

You are right that nothing is legally backed... but why does it need to be? The blockchain is immutable, so anyone who participates in it has no choice but to honor who the chain designates as an owner.
In general, testing systems outside of their normal operational profile is a risk mitigator. Because that black swan event can happen.

Also, there are lives ate stake--not just reputations.
This is what I've seen too. For example, I saw an artist on twitter crying because she was able to get out of debt from selling NFTs.

My experience has been largely positive. Artists get better paid. The fans can buy something that gives them a more personal connection with the artist. Everyone else can still view the art for free.
I'm not sure, but I think the trust part (münchhausen trilmma) is handled differently between pgp and blockchain.
In pgp you have the web of trust and you choose your "entry" point and who you trust. With nfts you're on blockchain, and have the hole network have a consensus. Therefor the "entry" point for trust is different.
Yes, to make this clear: the actual image (or whatever other type of media) is not stored on chain, only a link to the image.
Or when the politician in question releases an edited video and "NFTs" it or signs it with their DID. Then you're just back to trusting a consensus of trusted media disagreeing with them.
No architect would dare to touch a Brainfuck codebase :)

Well, I said crypto. But BTC has obviously been a preferred currency.
Those exchanges with NFT's don't do anything different from storing that ownership information in a normal database, do they? The novelty in the situations you propose would be that the general public can verify ownership.

A lot of "security mindset" comes from this principle as well. In theory, you should have strong barriers everywhere, but we're not to that level of maturity yet. (I still hope to see some successful implementation of "capabilities" like in E or something before my career is over. That's an example of what I'm thinking of as maturity.) In practice you get a long way just by writing some code down, and then thinking How would I break this? Oh, hey, if I put this combination of characters into my decoding routine I'll get up to the SQL command level, oh, if I just assume that a user with no email is an admin and I let users change their email, they can become admin, etc.

It isn't theoretically ideal, but it's a lot better than not thinking this way.
I want to echo the other comments here that low expense ratio (<0.25%) funds from Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab, etc... are all great stable investments.

My time horizon is longer than 5 years, and I buy broad market index funds split up as follows: 55% US large cap (e.g. VIIIX, VTSAX, SWTSX), 15% US mid cap (e.g. VMCPX), 10% US small cap (e.g. VSCPX), and 20% international (e.g. VTSNX, SWISX, VXUS).

I also highly recommend dollar cost averaging. i.e. buying a fixed amount of your portfolio at fixed periods. I have my bank do this automatically every 2 weeks. The benefit of dollar cost averaging is (1) it takes the emotion out of investing, and (2) over a long time window, more of your assets will be purchased at a low prices than high prices (because you're buying a fixed dollar amount of assets every N days, fewer you will buy fewer assets when prices are high and more assets when prices are low).

Take code collaboration (https://radicle.xyz/) Code Collaboration and team programming is a real use case that people can get value of.
