NFTs don't create scarcity either. The image is freely available to anyone. Nobody knows you own an NFT unless you explicitly drop in and mention you own the image every single time it's posted somewhere, in which case people will mock you.

But the actual solution has been around for centuries. An artist can sign their work or tailor it directly for the purchaser. Artists have been doing commissions online forever now and you can have them write your name if you want. Anyone out there "stealing" work you bought is either saving something with your name on it, or they're modifying it to remove your name.

No artist views NFTs as a solution to an already solved problem. They're either seeing it as a scam and avoiding it, or they're seeing it as a scam that they can quickly cash in on. Countless artists are on twitter and various places online making rock-solid careers out of selling art commissions. NFTs were never a part of it. The people proposing it as a solution are the ones "investing" in NFTs.

Or maybe you want that crowd to go to someone else's infrastructure. And therefore you don't build it, and no one else builds it.
This matches my experience on shared pedestrian / bicycles low density roads in countryside. 30 km/h (a little less than 20 mph) is the limit between okish and dangerous. Actually pedestrians start to worry a little before that speed but of course half of them don't see the bicycle approaching. The cyclist see them a long time before overtaking and assesses whether they are safe to pass or require a slow down.
The artist could publish a git repo with all the signatures? We already solved this problem with Cert Transparency in PKI.

None of this needs a energy-hungry blockchain.

Мне кажется сейчас (нынешнему поколению) уже не понять того фана и экспиринса, хехе, который был в те времена. С появлением интернета, социальных сетей и мессенджеров, с появлением огромных скоростей обмена сообщениями, с удобными устройствами для доступа к средствам общения - всё это полностью затмило собой общение посредством Fidonet и BBS. Даже чаты, которые также появились с приходом интернета еще до социальных сетей и мессенджеров стали неактуальны и неудобны. Согласен, что это суть прогресса - на смену медленным скоростям через модем и dial-up пришли оптические магистрали, медные ethernet последние мили и мобильные сети. Появились удобные средства общения в виде мессенджеров. Люди стали находиться онлайн на связи круглосуточно. Ты точно знаешь, что твое сообщение будет просмотрено в ближайшие минуты или секунды. А ведь когда-то ты мог дожидаться ответа часами и днями. Когда ты неистово жал на пробел в мейлере, чтобы сбросить модем и набирать номер твоего вышестоящего узла в Fidonet или знакомой BBS снова и снова. Когда ты на слух мог определять скорость подключения твоего модема. Когда ты, задавая вопрос по любой тебе незнакомой или малознакомой теме в фидошной эхе или даже интернет чате, точно знал, что тебе ответят и даже помогут решить вопрос в той или иной степени благодаря энтузиазму, а не как сейчас скажут, что ты не компетентен и обращайся к специалисту или сразу предложат решить вопрос за деньги. Времена уже не те. Я конечно не страдаю от этого, но иногда ностальгия мучает. Сейчас все решают деньги. Раньше подключение к Fidonet или BBS кроме приобретения модема более никаких денежных затрат не требовало. Но обычно, чтобы узнать номер популярной BBS или попроситься подключиться к Fido требовало поощрения владельцу такого узла: соки, воды, пиво, водка ))

Sorry for Russian, thats my IMHO. If needed, i will translate.

Ah that explains everything. The cost I paid a few years back in Australia exactly matches their costs before they add this "soft cost".

It really seems very strange that my residential solar cost me USD6000 and by their estimates I passed on an additional ~USD8000 to... I don't know, the electricity company?

I'd be surprised if the utilities were that much out of pocket somehow.

Google seems to limit people to testing in a few similar abstracted assembly languages, but they buy out startups which might be using languages that discourage these simple loops, reassignments, etc that "every programmer uses".

So quite possibly this was a perfectly good architect/programmer from a successful product who was turned into a C++ engineer on paper but never actually accepted the new role and only continued to architect.

Ahh, it seems like they didn't have access to a router and just did everything within a super long procedure as a consequence, i've seen that very same anti-pattern many times and it's always a nightmare to work with and debug. I can easily imagine myself doing something like that 5 years ago: starting small but the project eventually growing in scope and this being the end result.

That said, at least the code is documented in some capacity with comments, which isn't always the case in some projects out there.

As for updating, as more time passes, i become more and more convinced that if you can't find software within a container where bumping versions is as easy as changing the image tag, then you'll run into problems of some sort sooner or later.
How does this improve upon copyright in practical terms? Because finding out who the rights holder is becomes more straightforward? I’m not aware how minting an NFT works exactly, but wouldn’t the person to whom the NFT points still have to prove they’re the rights holder and have engaged in some legal contract for that claim to be valid?
> France doesn't exactly have a national identity register.

There's so many of them there isn't need for one centralized file, especially since news laws keep interconnecting all these files. There's so many files on everyone in France if you believe in "human rights" that'll be hard to fathom.

Since the nazi occupation (Vichy government), there is a national identity card. There's also the police file with all suspects, victims and witnesses (yes, all of them combined). Then there's the police biometrics file. The semi-secret "Base élèves" file snooping on every child going to school (which by law is quasi-mandatory). And so many others i can't list them all here.

France is pretty much a police state in all regards. If you're lucky enough to only interact with lowly assholes from the local police, it's easy enough to discard the concept. But when you see the government had to contract Palantir because they gather so much data on people they can't process it...
No, it's cpython in a trenchcoat, not written in .net, not ridding the .net vm. But it uses the JIT from .net.
More precisely it's about making PDP-7 design the second class citizen. Interoperable design becomes the first class instead. POSIX would be implemented on top of that.

This is how I understand it: Baseball cards sell for millions of dollars.

Do those cards provide ownership to anything or anyone? No. Are they signed by the original players? No. Do they give you any other benefit? No.

It's just collector items that refers to something, and there is a limited amount of them. But that's basically it.

Now you could argue that you can hold a card in your hand, and an NFT not. But that is not where that crazy value is coming from.

I'm not claiming that NFT's value is justified, I have no idea about that. But to me it seems like a "collectors" thing.

Because let's be serious, nobody in their right mind would pay millions of dollars for a freaking card with some baseball player at the front. Same goes for NFT's.
I think this is kind of the idea, but it has basically the same problems as other areas. You're relying on meatspace legal and copyright systems to associate "ownership" / "right to use" with the NFT, but you could just use that same system to associate those rights with the purchaser directly.
Wouldn't open-source and/or auditing alleviate this?

(don't want to put words in GP's mouth, this is my interpretation of it, and my experience)

I do skateboarding and had multiple ankle sprains. What happens every single time is that the wound heals, physiotherapy proceeds and strengthens the whole joint system, and then I'm left with an ankle that is still in pain when it should not physically be anymore since it has fully recovered.

That is, until I literally "decide" the remaining pain is a construct of my mind, and then the pain vanishes overnight, and the ankle that I felt brittle and was scared to use to its full extend suddenly feels as strong and stable as ever, if not more.
> If you get the DSA right for your linguistically and ethnically diverse 450 million EU citizens, you can create a game-changer for the world

The EU hasn't any really channels towards its own inhabitants aside from a few fervent fans and it maybe wants to change that. This is purely about power of officials and they justify their grasp on content with democracy, which the EU institutions still lack by design, reforms pending indefinitely.

This will not improve the net in any way, the commission is just discussion further and extended mass surveillance.

Yes, there is "misinformation" on the internet, not every piece of information is true. See that 12 years old in the corner laughing? He is laughing at you...

This article is an uncritical joke.

That said, there are some good components to the DSA, if they don't get sabotages by this weird appearance about content moderation.

Platform/publisher differentiation will be strengthened. Of course politics turned it around, you become a publisher if you do NOT remove objectionable content. That is the current sorry state and they even want to increase content moderation by state.

They also tried to institutionalize Blockwarts, by giving state sanction organisations special content flagging rights. No further comment, the descriptor is accurate enough.

Not a single European citizen will gain anything from this. Certainly not safety.

It will neither reign in big tech and it provides a severe threat to freedom of expression. What a wonderful political compromise and it will institutionalize social media propaganda institutions. I want to again mention that the article isn't good.

Most idiotic part: Platforms have to show content from large publishers and they have to pay publishers for showing that content? You think this is a joke? Nope, this is the EU. Perhaps the British weren't that stupid after all...

It should again be said that reading this article is worthless.
"War is hell." - U.S. General William T. Sherman

Most people don't want to live in hell. Most people (especially women, children, elderly, etc.) don't feel empowered by the prospect of a civil war, as you seem to. And looking at post-colonial histories...all too often, the civil wars, military coups, large-scale ethnic violence, etc...they never really end. Or only "end" as long as some ruthless dictator lasts.
Good question. Without looking into it, one theory I might have is that the client does the DNS resolution and then just proxies the HTTP request through Signal's servers.

In general, I find the privacy implications of either solution a bit hard to reason about. Having Signal proxy the requests leaks to the website that someone is sending a link to the site via Signal, but not who is sending the link. If the link itself is sufficiently unique, though, that could be an issue.

On the other hand, if someone sends me a link and I in turn send it on (without clicking) via Signal, and doing so causes my client IP to be revealed, that seems sorta bad. So the proxy makes sense here.

I don't think any of the risks here are huge, and the options all have tradeoffs, which I guess is why you can disable the feature.
I have multiple 30+ lines jq scripts in my current project. So "often a one liner" is true, but it is not a requirement, so I'm still not sure why use this instead.
Natural gas isn't expensive. I pay 7.2 cents USD per kW/h and it's still cheaper to heat my house with natural gas. Given that the world is switching to electric cars I only foresee it getting even cheaper (comparatively) given how much hydro will need to be built to service the energy needs of the electric car market.
Actually what we have found I think with the internet is that some things have value no matter how many copies you make. Computers can copy digital things at essentially no cost, and some digital things have great value. So we have a way to copy value for free. We can do a lot with that if we really try. For example, wikipedia has produced incalculable value but the users don't generally pay anything for it.

My personal economic theory is that we should try to maximize this effect. Make as much value as we can digital and try to make all digital value as free as we can make it. This should in theory create huge value in the world at very low cost. So to me, even if NFTs could prevent copying, it would be going in entirely the wrong direction. The whole desire to lock down digital goods in the first place seems like the biggest economic foot gun I can think of.
> No artist views NFTs as a solution to an already solved problem. They're either seeing it as a scam and avoiding it, or they're seeing it as a scam that they can quickly cash in on.

Lord forbid there are artists who (somehow) see value in NFTs. Look, I myself have no interest in NFTs, and I think most uses are indeed scammy right now, but that doesn't mean the entire idea is void.

There are artists who see it as a modern way of managing usage of art. They might not be a lot, but some do see value in NFTs besides "scam I can quickly cash in on", otherwise the market wouldn't exist in the first place.

These three things also influence each other. Incentives act as a signal of the type of culture you want to incentivize. Process allows or blocks people from following that culture.

Seeing leadership create processes and incentives that align with the stated values of a culture builds trust that those stated values are authentic.

> All of that is the main cost of a serious user authentication system.

So much this. If you don't care about credential theft or recovery, authentication is a straightforward problem. With a blockchain what changes is that you just can't care about this problem, and when it happens, your user is f*cked.
Sure, just like you don’t have to use SQL.

JSONiq is strongly typed, so only the strongly typed languages are equivalent.

The point of this project, like SQL, is to have something programming language agnostic that can be understood and optimized by a db or a tool that doesn’t use your programming language.

It’s mostly designed for data analysis and data interchange.
Fair points. I talked with a couple of HFTs and the general view was that their asymptotic backtests look promising on GPUs but that for most of the liquid markets the latency is way too high - basically confirming what you write.

On niche markets with low liquidity, one doesn't have such tight latency envelopes but those markets also offer more opportunities in general so again there's no real justification to use fancy ML models or GPUs in general.
Jq is xpath, this looks to be xquery. In fact it specifically works as an xquery embed.
CryptoKitties are cool. Art NFTs not so much. With art NFTs all you get is bragging rights that you bought X from Y. A CryptoKitty on the other hand actually has utility; not only in the game itself but also in other apps that are using them, e.g. HyperDragons eating CryptoKitties to grow stronger.

I think that's the only (if any) viable future for NFTs. A unique set of items or objects on the blockchain that follow a standard, making them interoperable between different apps. Since the blockchain is an open API by nature no-one can prevent you from building your own game utilizing the same NFTs. So when you buy a sword you can use it in all games that support it or, as in the case of HyperDragons, sacrifice it to get something else.
Regarding the general point about PostgreSQL and ZFS it might be noted that the community are not too keen on it (mostly from a performance perspective) as per recent mailing list thread[1].

I really wish more systems had a NNTP bridge. If we can't have nice things with regular federated Usenet servers, something RSS-like where you could subscribe to different "proprietary" servers would be awesome. For the web interfaces people can do all kinds of things, be Web X.0 etc., as long as the conversation format maps well enough to NNTP.
Slack is great for the masses to get someone's attention. Not much else. I'm betting most of those requests start with:

"Hey, I have a problem, can someone help?"

No actual information follows, just minutes idle, waiting for someone to respond.

Slack is like a bird's nest. Baby birds chirp loudly, open up their mouths, and hope you'll regurgitate some worms into them.
The only tangible different is that once you've establish the meatspace laws, the ownership can be transferred on chain and still hold a valid claim, instead of having to result in meatspace in order to transfer it.
Good question. I think I can best answer this by example:

People get paid to develop Blender. Blender even has an in house film studio, with paid artists. The software and artwork is made available for free. No artificial scarcity is imposed. And no one is starving.

Trying to emulate the restrictions of the material realm is the wrong direction.
And that's how they spectacularly fail when something does not fit into that paradigm. Like file name with `\n`. Apparently now you need `\0`-separated lines and all the tools need `-0` or `-z` switches, console does not print it well and all that card house breaks apart.

> It's slow (I have i7 with 4 cores and 32Gb of RAM)...

Consider that you must be doing something deeply wrong? I have a broadwell (2015) i7, 2 cores, 16GB of ram (8 of which is reserved), and Emacs is quite fast.

I tried to use VSCode once, around when it came out. It was a pathetic joke. Once you manage to stop laughing at the concept of using an editor, hosted in a webbrowser, written in javascript, you were able to enjoy exactly the performance you would expect from such an "application".

I couldn't type more than a few lines before the high latency, and the fact that I could feel my CPU heating up, gave me all the info I needed.

What's VSCode for?? I don't do much (any) UI work, so I'd believe you if that's its strength, but.. an editor????
I doubt it!

Having noticeable latency between keystrokes and requiring huge amounts of system resources make it kinda ... hard to take seriously.
Not an universal solution, but you can get paid once by a person or a group to paint/draw/program/record what they want.

I see people showing of what they can do and then accepting requests on patreon, if the client shares the thing later is something is probable that will happen.
My example demonstrates that the app creator doesnt need to be evil. The store can be evil, and for end-user its very difficult to know.
umm... this is kind of the purpose of banks... get car now, enjoy car now, pay 3%, inflation is 5%. If you buy the car cash you pay more, and get it later.

Lets take a C8 Stringray @ $100K, if you buy it today, it will cost $107K over 5 years. In five years it will cost you $128K.
In a country where not everyone has an ID, of course it's racist to ask for ID. Can people in the USA vote for national elections without citizenship? That's definitely not the case here in France where there is also many undocumented folks living a hard life (very similar to USA in this regard).

In any case, why would you need IDs in the first place? That's a tool of social control. As anecdote, the only time in French history when it was mandatory to have an ID card was during nazi occupation.
If you are logging in in multiple *nix systems I suggest you keep the Ctrl+l.

I started to notice that the more I adopt in terminal specific commands to MacOS the hard is to be productive while I login to various systems.

I want also to force myself (but did not do it yet) to use a simpler Vim configuration. Maybe just line numbers so that when I login into a new system I should not need any plugin or any other shortcuts. Still I like my .vimrc file but I plan to do this in near future.
Seems interesting and something I have been looking for. Does anyone know who Dan Moore is and what his credentials are?

Quite sure this won't change your mind:

> Individually owned, but free to share and use by anyone. When it’s freely shared and used it’s not detracting value from the original, it’s adding value. The Mona Lisa is an exceptionally valuable artwork that lives in the public domain, it is individually ownable yet publicly available for reuse. Mona Lisa Instagram posts, poster prints, remixes, reuses all do not detract value from the original, they add value to it.

We didn't legalize drugs, we decriminalized them - basically a drug addict wasn't considered a criminal, but someone who's sick and needs help.

It worked wonders, we had a heroin epidemic that vanished in the course of 10-15 years. There are still addicts of course, but they're being followed by doctors, offered replacement drugs, etc.

Just to contrast: you used to see people injecting themselves on their dicks in the street all over Lisbon, yet more prevalent in some neighborhoods. Such sights are long gone.
