A few NFT marketplaces will verify identity but no where near thoroughly enough. Privacy and KYC are going to be the biggest crypto issue for 2022. More and more projects are looking to incorporate identity oracles like Global ID and are looking to provide no more data than is necessary for KYC inquiries using tech like Zero Knowledge proofs (ZKP).

Panther protocol is the most interesting of these projects I've come across, but every utility driven blockchain is making plans to incorporate identity verification in some way.
It's certainly debateable. In a place with constrained real estate, like NYC and Tokyo, there isn't really any choice. When thinking about "human scale," it helps to emphasize the human part of the equation. Can a human walk up 57 flights of stairs? Yes, but not many. Can a human walk from one side of Orlando to the other? Yes, but not many, and a lot of them will be smooshed by cars.

Orlando wouldn't be human scale any more than the Burj Kalafia is. Orlando is automobile scaled, and would suffer the same consequences as the Burj if energy costs skyrocket.

That said, there are some people who thrive in places like NYC. It takes a certain kind of person to be able to deal with the sea of humanity, and not a lot of people can.

Boring answer: MMT says boost production.
I actually prefer the modern ones to the old ones (... well some of them at least).

A bit of an aside - I have often wondered what makes "good" architecture, i.e. what is it about a space that means it is still a "good" place to be. There are many examples of both "old", "post-war", and "modern" architecture in London where the spaces are still great spaces and inspiring and welcoming and just work for their purpose, and likewise there are examples where they are depressing and miserable.

What is the "magic formula" for this that makes a building or space work? There has to be some theory on this, but if so why are "bad" buildings still made?

Yes, China's environmental track record is ugly, but China also tends to undercommit and overdeliver. If Xi Jinping's administration wants China to be overwhelmingly nuclear by 2050, it can probably get it done. Moreover, it's probably a good move for China--they'll be able to meet emissions targets while having abundant energy to cement their position as the world's manufacturer while the west is fucking around with unreliable renewable energy. Not only will Chinese goods be cheaper, but doing business with China will actually help western countries reduce their carbon footprints.

Our failure to appropriately invest in nuclear will accelerate China's rise to global dominance.
All of these testing suites are absolutely intrusions of privacy. Proctorio had a portion of their EULA where they essentially stated that they will retain all of your information (your test results, your webcam footage, your microphone recording, etc.) for an undisclosed amount of time, and if the Proctorio brand were to ever be purchased by another private entity, that footage would become their property by extension. Pretty unbelievable stuff, being forced to take a test in an environment like that would probably cause me to spiral out into a nervous breakdown after a few minutes.

So I’d say it ranges from sorta to absolutely.
In many cases the “limits to production” and “genuine scarcity” are functionally meaningless though, and surely have no measurable effect on the market price of the item. A cheap screen-printed t-shirt could be $7 if it’s printed with one design, and $100 if it’s printed with another design. It’s completely silly to point to “limits to production” and “genuine scarcity” as an explanation for this.
Nowadays more than ever, is a good time to bring back services like Bugmenot.com which allow you to share credentials login for nagging websites that block their content behind a signup paywall.

I love sleep studies. There seems to be so much more we could learn. I wish this one was deeper (or perhaps the story isn't giving the full details).

> The link persisted after adjustment for sleep duration and sleep irregularity.

> The researchers tried to control for other factors known to affect a person's heart risk, such as their age, weight and cholesterol levels, but stress their study cannot prove cause and effect.

This study seems very shallow. Of course we can't prove cause/effect but it didn't think to account for other choices that people who go to bed between 10-11 make differently than those who don't. Typical to consider physical state (age, weight, cholesterol levels)--but these are lagging indicators--behaviours are leading ones. Another good factor to consider would be stress. Are behavioral factors not used because they are self reported and conclusions would be of the form "those who report they do ... are more/less likely ...." Ironically going to bed 10-11 is just such a self reported behavioral factor.

riding a bike in Chattanooga takes some muscle! Sidewalks are pretty optional in most of the south east, even in "wealthy" areas.
Likely it has to do with the scaling of the actual property being measured. For example with decreasing temperature, steels become less and less able to resist impact damage. Thus getting hit by something small at cryogenic temperatures is equivalent to being hit by something big at normal temperatures; so if you want to test whether a submarine can survive an impact that would be impractical to simulate in a lab, you could instead cool your test sample down a lot and test it with a smaller, cheaper device.

My knowledge of shipbuilding is limited but I believe the navy suffered quite a bit during WW2 from certain steels undergoing a transition in the low temperatures of the north atlantic that caused brittle fracture. I would imagine testing at ultra low temperatures accelerates the rate at which such brittle fractures can be detected.
For many reasons, including lower fees (see [1]), acquiring ownership of an artist-signed asset, rather than a digital media file (the limited-edition token is cryptographically signed by the artist, the media file is not), participating in a digital art community, supporting decentralized systems, etc.

A simple way to frame Hicetnunc is a social media platform that is not driven by FAANG, advertising models, and "Like" buttons, but instead by artists, collectors, and OSS developers participating in a digital economy: selling and trading tokens, and also exploring ways to steward and maintain that work without solely relying on traditional centralized third-party services.

Its interesting, but poor quality steel with sulphur contamination is one of the theories behind the failures of the titanic.

>Metallurgical and mechanical analyses were performed on steel and rivet samples recovered from the wreck of the RMS Titanic. It was found that the steel possessed a ductile-to-brittle transition temperature that was very high with respect to the service temperature, making the material brittle at ice-water temperatures. This has been attributed to both chemical and microstructural factors. It has also been found that the wrought iron rivets used in the construction of Titanic contained an elevated amount of incorporated slag, and that the orientation of the slag within the rivets may hold an explanation for how the ship accumulated damage during its encounter with the iceberg.

Just a few thoughts from a random dev who's been daily driving Linux for ~2 years after ditching Mac/Windows:

- AHK is kinda tough to replace on Linux, since you're kinda stealing the display manager's job. Since there are now two display managers in use (the older x11 and newer Wayland), you'd need to find a solution that works for you. It seems to be pretty easy on x11 though[0], and if Wayland doesn't offer similar functionality I'll be quite surprised.

- Taskbar manipulation is handled by your window manager, and you can typically get pretty granular with it. I don't have the exact same setup as you, but I do have a second taskbar on my second display specifically for Spotify/IRC.

- AFAIK, Linux was the progenitor of the extended function row :)

In conclusion, your sticking points are probably going to continue to be sticking points for the foreseeable future. I hope that doesn't discourage you from enjoying Linux though, even through WSL.

Your last sentence reads like FOMO. Not sure if it's intended, but it seems that you are making an argument for NFTs as a tool for speculation.
How many artists mint an NFT and don't even make back the minting fee because their art doesn't sell?
First thing I think of is that poor engineer who committed the change that managed to bring down Comcast across the country. Oh to be a fly on the wall in that meeting.
I don't use desktop Linux anymore, just a comment: if it's a techie oriented tool and automation related, Linux probably has it in some form (more likely 5000 different forms), and it's probably best in class.

Where Linux suffers is support for many big commercial applications (MS Office for obvious reasons, Adobe software, etc.) and hardware support (which can be hit and miss, depending on your luck).

But if you're thinking: "how could I automate whatever desktop action operation?" Linux for sure can do it. I have no idea right now how you'd it, but I'd be shocked if it couldn't. There's sooo much configurability.
There is always a chance it is, however without some deep knowledge on the reasons for the spec, its impossible to say why a spec exists in the first place.

Many of these large scale engineering specs are "take the worst possible situation you can ever think of and design it so that it can survive 1.3x of that". Yes it sounds stupid to the layman, but this is how you make shit that survives everything you toss at it.

Ignoring "dumb specifications" is the reason why SpaceX lost a payload. They used non aeronautical grade metal, which did not conform to the requirements for spaceflight, causing a mission failure.

You are missing the point, people don’t use it because it’s the Hebrew word. Hasbara is a crucial part of Israeli strategy to expand its borders and maintain its dominance of the Palestinian people. Hasbara is all about (1) obfuscating the settler-colonial nature of Israel and (2) white-washing Israeli military war crimes in Gaza and occupied territories. It’s telling that the achievement which launched the political career of the current prime-minister was astroturfing Wikipedia to promote Zionism and Israel. This stuff is important to Israel it’s not just propaganda to promote is hasbara to enable.

The nature of hasbara has features which warrant distinguishing it from propaganda. For example it seemingly exclusively relies on astroturfing. That’s useful to know that there are organizations giving students fellowships [1] to promote these efforts. Another feature is in the objective. Unlike generic propaganda, the objective isn’t to promote domestic nationalism, counter competing ideologies, or to demotivate foreign adversaries. The objective is obfuscating the settler colonial nature of Israel and white-washing Israeli military war crimes.

To me, this warrants calling these efforts by what the Israelis call it.

I've got to say, that 4th paragraph is, or at least should be, the modus operandi of every scientist in any related field.

>In this style of work, the researcher is allowed, and even required, to select problems for investigation, without having to justify their relevance for the institution, and without negotiating a set of objectives with management. The value of the research is determined by other scientists, again without looking for its immediate effect on the bottom line of the employer. The assumption that justifies such a policy is that "scientific progress on a broad front results from the free play of free intellects, working on subjects of their own choice, in the manner dictated by their curiosity."

It's sad the current state of science doesn't appreciate the work done purely through curiosity, and instead want to milk professionals for other means and agendas. The paragraph sheds a light on what science really is, and what's kept fueling it for millenia, curiosity. Some of the greatest scientific discoveries have come from curiosity in answering burning questions. Yes we still have some great discoveries, but not as much now I would think. Most of what science today seems to be is just proving or disproving agendas with clear incentives. There are some that seem to be born out of organically produced work, but it's hard to know because who knows the incentives and agendas behind the scenes.
I find it interesting how detestable yet cool I find some of the people in these stories. Maybe it has to do with my love of the Metal Gear Solid games that the ideas of fighting foreign wars and switching sides has become a bit romantic.

It's a good question. In practice, a project will publish the official contract address and the chain on their web page.

Hence, it becomes a schelling point for users. It assumes that the project owners are in control of their servers and DNS. For users, there is then just one official contract, regardless of how many others are published and on different chains.

As an aside, there is ENS, which people are starting to use to say they own a DNS domain https://docs.ens.domains/dns-registrar-guide. ENS itself is an NFT, so it's turtles all the way down.
The only reason that it might appear more nonsensical than anything else on the front page right now is because we happened to have named these things after words which would have existed that far back. ("Slorgilling the greunigs" means nothing to us today, but it obviously means nothing; "orange the secondary flatcup" is just as meaningless, but forces you to actually read it because it almost sounds like it should make sense. Likewise, "Rust on ARM" isn't actually using words that meant something that far back, but it at least looks like it could, where, say, "A Python JIT Compiler" is mostly words that make even less sense using their historical meanings or lack thereof)
I have been using the Quest 2 daily with Immersed (for me the best) and other apps for work with 5 monitors on my MacBook. I cannot see myself going back. 5 monitors and focus without taking up more space than if with only the MacBook. This would be great. If it is not for gaming, I would hope for vastly more battery life though; the Quest 2 is hooked to a long USB cable always as it drains fast. A Microsoft mobile ble keyboard, the simula one and a pointer device which doubles as mouse and vr pointer/moving input would be rather excellent.
