What even more sucks that you need to first set up phone 2FA before you can enable TOPT. You can remove the phone number afterwards, but why make it so complicated?
I recently designed my modest house myself all on paper. I read a pattern language and some other things in preparation. I’m convinced that communities that are nice to live in, even if only in the way they look, must be grown organically so to speak. It must be smaller scale people building the structures and becoming invested in the community. Now all I see are these giant developments that try to simulate that cozy feeling. They get bought immediately from the development company.

Good question. It is a problem that the supporters of Ethereum refuse to admit and they end up with the same responses [0] that still require you to pay for the unavoidable high gas fees which happily drains your wallet on every operation.

As long as you can't use it to pay for your groceries, then it is totally useless.

I don't think this is true. The mixed use paths are pretty good start. People use them for commute. The special bike lane is more expensive and ideal step, but not necessary.
The only real future for NFT's is a coupling with the physical world. Like buying physical art. Or proofing ownership of an asset like houses.
Private skiing lessons are silly for beginners, because their most important problems are pretty similar within the same rough age group (small children vs older children vs adult beginners), and there’s a lot of learning by watching other beginners learning to solve your similar problems. Even once I was a solid intermediate, group lessons with others who could get down the blues were still useful.

An hour one-on-one started becoming effective once I was confidently skiing all the groomers, getting through moguls, and needed feedback on my quirks.
Not technically impossible, but legally risky, and Apple are very risk-averse, legally-speaking.

No. The value in the thing is in the key that minted it. Think of it like a signed baseball: easy to replicate, but the original is worthwhile.
I'm very surprised that those (the JSON and the picture) are not stored in a decentralised way e.g. IPFS or Swarm.

So if I buy an expensive NFT, and the domain goes down, the NFT is now worthless?

Partially repeating my comment from another sub-thread here:

In Europe, the speed at which an ebike motor may assist one is limited to 25 km/h (~ 15.5 mph):

Note that while the current regulation is valid since 2016 there was a (in this regard) very similar one since 2002 (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX%3A...)

There are faster pedelecs, but those need to be registered and have insurance, same as any lightweight motorbike needs to have since like ever, most common are the ones <= 50cc as those are allowed with 14 or 16 years of age, and those are not allowed on bike-only roads or lanes.

Yeah. That's the shocking thing: I can understand offloading the raster data storage to various external services, but a hash is practically free to store and provides a kind of verifiability that a mere URL doesn't. Seems like an egregious oversight.
You don't understand the problem the parent commenter is talking about. This isn't about who is or isn't successful, it's about incentive structures, and the degree to which dating service providers have an interest in having more or less people find love. Currently, people finding partners and being happy means that dating service providers lose money, which means that they will deliberately show you partners that are less interesting to you, to make sure you keep feeling unhappy and come back to the app for another try.

Your experience actually corroborates this, as most people do not want to do a lot of serial dating, and your advice is all about serial dating.
The best scams are usually low tech or even no tech.
> The field of Physics though, is grounded in experimentation and observation. The lack of this grounding is called mathematics

Right, and the mathematical field where you use axioms matching physics experiments is called theoretical physics. Currently there is a lot of work to do in that domain, as currently we don't have any theories that matches well with all experimental data we have. We have small scale theories and big scale theories, but there still needs people to work out theories and formulas for combining the two. You might call that mathematics, other calls it theoretical physics, either way they will help further the field of physics and science in general.
Lots of wash trading to bid up prices and create the impression of enthusiasm. Drags in the suckers. Like Logan Paul and his 99.9% loss on a $600,000 investment. He is the biggest fool. [1] But hey, he was in it for the tech/art right? He's still got the weird yellow robot bee thing.

The wheels started to come off with .NET back when ORMs became a thing, slightly before Rails. Look up "ALT.NET" movement for the history.

TLDR: Microsoft wanted .NET developers to only use tech from Microsoft, used various tactics to achieve that, and people got the message. If you wanted to use modern tech or develop innovative stuff, .NET was not a comfortable place to be.

Microsoft have tried to move past that, but never really have. .NET has never had a healthy Open Source eco-system.
> Considering I have woman friends who say

I see your problem. If you want to date a woman don't try to get to be her friend over the course of time, just be upfront about it ("I think you and I would be great together. How about we talk about it over coffee?").

Taking time to get to the point signals an extreme lack of confidence to women, and confidence is the #1 thing that gets a woman attracted to a man.

If you don't want to be friend-zoned, then don't try being friends. Be honest about your romantic intentions and you will be surprised how far that gets you.

Beating around the bush indicates to everyone (including other women, your family and friends, her family and friends, etc) that she can do better.
As far as I know that's because asp.net mvc 5 already exists. For example Entity Framework 6 already exists so the new stuff will still have the name core until the number is high enough that there is no legacy stuff with the same number anymore.
>Modern cars are designed to look well alone in a vast empty space, and that is how car ads pitch them.

That is wrong, they are all the same looking for aerodynamics since Obama told car manufacturers to make them more fuel efficient. Form follows function, its why they are all generic looking, they are greener, they have a crumple zone for safety, they are not designed round and generic looking for aesthetic reasons.

The capitalistic megaprojects of, say, 1750-1930 were much more likely to be beautiful than the modern ones. Incredibly ornate banks and rail terminus stations. Beautiful brick, stone, and cast-iron apartment buildings. Towering stone offices. Even factory complexes were usually brick and had some amount of ornamentation [1][2]. I'm aware that there's a lot of survivorship bias supporting this view, but is there even a single modern factory building worth mentioning?

You can't rebuild the image from the hash, but you can query various content-addressed stores for the image, potentially letting proof-of-space cryptocurrency systems do double duty as both verifiable resource commitments and repositories of blockchain external data.
Not sure how I missed this, but the comment on the mastodon post points this out too:

> that emulated PDP-11 system was replaced in 2014-15 by an off-the-shelf “Westrol” system from vendor Invensys.
Eh, depends on context.

When figuring out your personal financial budget, you're right. There's risk involved in being paid in equity, and stocks can go down as well as up. Plus, people paid in cash can also receive an equivalent deal by buying futures when they start their job, effectively paying a premium to take on that same market risk.

When explaining why houses are priced the way they are, the market value of today's stock compensation absolutely matters, because that's the resources that your competition has available to buy houses. You can look at it as an asset swap: you are trading 1000 shares of GOOG, and the rest of the homebuying demographic also has 1000 shares of GOOG. If GOOG is trading at $1500/share, that's worth $1.5M; if GOOG is trading at $3000/share, that's worth $3M.

To use your analogy - imagine that you're paid in lottery tickets, but everybody else in your town is also paid in lottery tickets with the same numbers. If your lucky number does not come up, you all remain poor and houses cost $100K. If your lucky number does come up, you all get $100M, but suddenly houses cost $100M too because new houses have not magically appeared for everybody to buy.

IPFS URL actually contains hash or something like that.
I hate to admit it but I’m still struggling to understand why people would pay so much for NFTs. I feel like I fully understand what they are and why most people want me to believe it has value but I still don’t agree. I’m waiting for my mind to change but it hasn’t happened yet. It’s frustrating because so many people I respect are leaving their high paying jobs to work in web3 startups around NFTs and I feel dumb for not getting it.
Sure. But a hash is so easy to compute and store that there's really no excuse for not including one.
Most NFT projects are in fact stored on IPFS. You can put an IPFS URL in the tokenURI field.
So how exactly is the "gas money" calculated? I was led to believe it was expensive because putting all that data into the blockchain costed a significant amount.

Asking because, wanting to verify whether NFTs were really a scam or scheme instead of just following heated Twitter arguments, I looked into uploading my own NFT. Gas money for a single image was $250--estimated earnings for an NFT are in the low dollars for most people, so it certainly wasn't worth it for me. I told a friend how insane the price was and went back to attempt the process once more a few minutes later to get a screenshot showing him I wasn't lying--gas money for the same image was suddenly over $800.

I can't think of any reasonable way to justify such costs if it's just encoding a few bytes of text and not an actual image, so now I'm doubly suspicious of how these costs are actually calculated. It reminds me of countless other schemes where you put in a bunch of initial cash to "start your own business", then spend the rest of your days desperately trying to find buyers.
Its supposed to take person-centuries of work sourced from the globe, or so I thought. How are they going to outdo Kubuntu, unusable for me, and Ubuntu, with several times more resources, and still have a few niggles?
Proof of wasted space. Proof of space algorithms just fill hard drives with garbage.
Reconstitute no. Get yes. A hash is much better than an average filename is much better than somesite/NFT_4556.jpg
There’s a popular genre of NFTs which consist of a recording of some physical object (often a painting) being destroyed. So perhaps we should create an NFT which represents the stranding of other NFTs through hacking. We could upload the logs from the shell showing us deleting everything.
Meanwhile forest rangers and other land owners are extremely angry because now even more people carve lines into delicate forest grounds. Even in places the mountain bikers couldn't have reached before.

If you're used to (slow, heavy) Dutch style bikes, 12-15 km/h is reasonable. However any "road" bike (rather than commuter bike) can easily go 25+km/h on flat ground. 45km/h is not unusual of for racers.

Of course, these are easier to spot than ebikes...
Better than continuously burning electricity, yes? And if the stored data is actually useful, is the net result all that bad?

Banks don't have any significant portion of their assets in crypto, so no.
"The République is universal and therefore spans the entire planet."

That's a strange interpretation.

Regarding elections the key is that the French Republic put a very strong emphasize on equality among citizens. So all citizens should be represented in Parliament and all citizens have the right to vote for the President.
I don’t understand. What purpose does the hash provide?
I agree that it would affect the US's relative dominance but I don't see why the living standards of Americans would be massively reduced. For things like medical care, housing, education etc those costs are mostly domestic so it seems like the cost of buying foreign currency wouldn't make a huge difference there. The stock market is denominated in USD so at least nominally you'd think it would be OK (although exporters would benefit over importers). Of course it would raise the price of imports, and it looks like imports average around 15% of GDP [1] and exports are around 12% of GDP [2].

So we'd need to manufacture a few % of GDP more in the US for it to balance out. That might make certain things like TVs more expensive, but technology trends have often made those sort of things dramatically less expensive, so overall (and with increased automation) hopefully that wouldn't affect the standard of living too much.

Certainly it might make it harder to attract foreign talent. But hopefully that would mostly be because of increases to the standard of living elsewhere rather than decreases to the US one.

If they store images instead then it's not garbage.
NFTs are such a sham to claim fake "ownership" of an asset. All the images/files are public anyways.

Nothing stops me from creating another blockchain and call it NFTv2. And then I can create an NFT which points to the original asset. Its just as legit as the Etherium one.

Or just change the link to the same file and create an NFT on the Etherium blockchain.
This could have been posted by me. :-)

That quote and the passage it is from (https://americanchestertonsociety.blogspot.com/2009/01/gandh...) was directed at very "concrete" Indian Nationalists who were arguing to basically transplant British Empire values into Indian Independence Movement and by extension into a newly formed Indian State.

They had gone so far as to accept Herbert Spencer's "Social Darwinism" (among others) with its inherent justification of Colonialism and "rights" of the Colonizer over the Colonized in all Social/Cultural dimensions and Chesterton was having none of that.

Chesterton is arguing for Indians (and by extension all other colonized people) for changing themselves using their own social norms/culture/paradigms and needs. While they maybe influenced by other cultures, it is their decision to make in the context of their history and culture. He is deriding the attempts of the so called "intellectuals" in the then Indian Nationalist movement to transplant wholesale the ideas of the British Culture.
Why misconception?

If the goal is to have love in your life, there's actually no need to get two people to cooperate. It may seem surprising to hear it, but love is something that you can simply do alone, "sending" it to faraway people, classes of people including enemies, the entire world, or even to all beings without exception.

This practice is very old (thousands of years). Those who are interested in it, I recommend they read this book:

> It's simple, safe and efficient. I don't understand why USA are not doing something similar.

It's a very easy explanation. France and many other countries in Western Europe like it have a National Identity register. You simply cannot exist in society without being effectively registered with the government. (Which of course is free to citizens, and primarily offers convenience not burden)

That national ID system is what ensures electoral integrity allowing the actual technical aspects of elections to be simple safe and efficient.

And the reason why this can never work in the US is because culturally and politically, Americans deem that this level of federal government knowledge of it's citizens location and existence, is an imposition on liberty. This is true broadly across political lines (even if the more Left-leaning folks are comfortable with imitating Europe, and the more Right-leaning folks are comfortable with introducing burdens to voting with NOT free identity requirements)

As a Canadian who moved to Europe and then went back, I genuinely see value in both philosophies.
Here in Menlo Park, Comcast was down but just came back up.

AT&T Fiber remained up with full gigabit speed, but slow ping times to some servers (notably BayNIC in Fremont - which now seems back to normal).

T-Mobile remained up somewhat reduced speed which now seems back to normal.

Update: Comcast has gone up and down once or twice more for a few minutes each, but seems to be back again.

Google must have been hit too: Gmail and Google Drive were intermittently failing to load, even though HN was loading fine, and regardless of which of the carriers I connected through.
The alternative is to have an admin/mod assign you a role. If you read the the text under "Verification Level" https://discord.com/safety/360043653152-Four-steps-to-a-supe... you will see that members with role don't need to have phone verification.

That being said, anecdotally I have heard Discord locking/terminating accounts without verified phone numbers (usually if suspicious activity has been detected).
