They aren't necessarily bringing payments or anything else like that. Just adding the ability to easily sign with your connected wallet. This brings lots of functionality. It could be used for logging in, community votes, encryption, admin key sharing (sharmir secrets), shared community wallets.

Imagine you have joined a guild in a game that has a guild bank with a bunch of tokens and nfts of game items, these could also be managed in discord with voting and payment streaming done via chat, and when you rage quit the discord server your share of the bank accounts assets is transferred back to your individual wallet.

You start a discord server and you have an instant co-op spun up with accounts, voting systems, and membership structure all in place. Thats attractive to gamers/activists/the local church group/political parties/etc.

(and despite what the other commenter says, that sounds much more interesting and has more possibilities than worrying about paying for groceries)
I have a similar one and could never get the firmware uploading (foo2zjs / hplip) to work reliably. It would randomly stop working and then need an undetermined number of power cycles / USB repluggings to come back. I should have an other go with that. It was a lovely setup when it worked, printing from any OS incl. mobile without cables or funky drivers.
Which is the reason I love PowerShell.
Fields where domain knowledge is required (physics, chemistry, materials, …) tend to have older developers due to the time required to acquire both domain and development knowledge. They can pair with pure developers, but it can be more efficient if it can be done with fewer than more people.
I thought their complaint was that without a credit score, businesses don't see them as 'trustworthy'. The OP separated 'trust' from 'credit score', and says they shouldn't be conflated.

However since all of the OP's examples involved credit (car rental post-pay, phone usage post-pay, etc.) then in those cases trust===credit score. Without a credit score, you're basically asking someone to trust blindly that you'll pay back a debt since there's no track record of your ever paying back debts.
lol, more like OS locking. Enjoy your prison!

You don't need to buy an NFT to hang prints of the art that's pictured in the URL in the NFT on your wall.

Not even legally. Unless the artist sold you an exclusive license to hang on your wall, I guess, which they can do with or without an NFT.
Every year the goalposts move a little bit. Thirty years ago the goal was ca. 0° of global warming. Now we're debating whether we can muster the political will to limit warming to 2° (unlikely) or 3°.

>Maybe everyone can afford a jet ski all of a sudden? No, the stims didn’t really do /that/ kind of wealth expansion.

US money supply M0 in late 2019 was low around 3.5 trillion.

Today it's around 6.4 trillion. This doesn't equate to 100% inflation, but it certainly equates to affording jet skis.

M2 money supply is sitting around 21 trillion and ought to be more around 16 trillion. This is the equivalent to 31% locked in, happening within a few years inflation. Though looking deeper than this, easily 40% inflation locked in.

You are incentivized to buy a jetski even on cheap debt because as this inflation erases the debt. The asset even with depreciation will end up being more expensive than you bought it selling used.

In terms of 'wealth expansion' it's sitting around 400% right now.
Yes Sir, no Sir, not much difference Sir
> State level factorization is probably somewhere in the 1024 bit RSA range with a Manhattan Project level of effort. The extra difficulty when going to 2048 bits is around a billion (1E9). So that would mean that the estimate assumes that we are going to be able to increase our computing capability by a factor of a billion in ten years. That seems very unlikely to me.

I mean, Moore's law is hanging but that doesn't mean that they can just, you know, expand their computer footprint? To be precise, NSA (or is it NRO?) is preparing for a warehouse-size supercomputer and it is conceivable that other countries are bucking up with this.

Plus, after the "let's rely on Moore's law" tactic, chip design has another boost of investment, and it's paying off. IPCs, despite the clocks hovering around 5GHZ, is increasing and specialised chips and immersion and/or sub-zero cooling can boost this further. It's rather exciting after the relative stagnation last decade.

> How so? The author can (and probably does) sell signed prints all the time.

Artists in the signed print run business don’t generally run new runs, for the simple reason that they understand the moral contract and more importantly the economic implications: if you do reprint, the value-add of your assertions plummets.

The same artists will usually have other non-numbered or print-on-demand art.

> How is a print difficult to duplicate?

A multi-layer screen print is not trivial to replicate without the original assets for the individual layers, and material information about the inks. That’s like asking how a painting is difficult to duplicate.
GPUs are too slow for HFT trading, yes. Deep neural networks in general do work in this domain, people do use them, but the stuff that you can profitably deploy into production is not going to be your vanilla garden variety neural networks, there's a lot of extra engineering required to make it fast enough.
Advancing the interests of all citizens, not just protecting the outsized benefits of one group, should be the primary concern for politicians. Think of how much boring process automation software could be written for so many businesses, if development were cheaper.
So in this scenario would the NFT be burned onto the card's ROM, and basically serve as a serial number you can trade without the participation of the manufacturer?

That's still rather convoluted.

The tools unfortunately are not good. As it is a wild mix of case law, actual law, and cherry picked venues. Then add into that different patent government/private regulatory bodies that enforce it unevenly, too much or not at all. Most of the companies I have worked at they had the process down pretty good. But if I remember right the average to get one was 2-3 years, with a few dozen rejections in there. Most of that was getting the verbiage right to make it sound unique and have proper claims. But if you wanted to make it easier for people to do it you would have to probably convince a patent attorney to help write it up and how to make it work, and defend it. This is not really a 'software' problem but more of a people/process/politics problem.
The NFT space has already defined that NFTs and ownership is all about clout - which means absolutely nothing to anyone outside of the NFT space, who isn’t actively daily trying to gain internet points and/or followers.
There would be a record showing the original author put it on the blockchain first. After that’s on there nobody else can remove it.

This could be used as evidence of their authorship in court.

“Look, here we have a tamper proof ledger showing I uploaded this at X date before it was copied.”
That's a very good point, the idea is to allow the moderators to pick the best content through the help of a Discord bot. Of course I recognize the content shared won't be on par with the one you can find on a Forum but that depends a lot on how the community is using threads. I'm working also on a way to filter out meaningless content or at least help moderators in repurposing only the best content they have on Discord. The other way around seems also a very good idea, I'll think about it for sure

And a public proof that you purchased the NFT, not the artwork itself or any particular license or rights in it.

As the OP mentions, people are selling NFT's with URLs pointing to art without the permission or involvement of the artist. This demonstrates that ownership of an NFT does not "prove" anything about ownership related to the art itself.

Great article. The JS ecosystem/supply chain scares me. 94% of all active repos on GitHub rely on Javascript (according to the 2020 state of the octoverse report). There is a lot of motivation for black hats to insert Bitcoin miners into semi-popular npm packages so they can fly under the radar. Scary times.
Well, yes, the problem is the idea of policing itself.

How do you determine if the police are being successful? If there are more arrests, are they more successful? Perhaps you ask about crime statistics - but those statistics are recorded by the police. I think we all have anecdotal stories of police refusing to take police reports or saying that something is a civil matter, or simply witnessing violations of minor laws (jaywalking, littering, etc.) and doing nothing. Not only does this mean that police can very easily control crime statistics, it means that if your actual goal is preventing some specific crimes, it's not guaranteed that the police are actually working on it.

One theory is that the function of the police is to maintain order, by which is meant the status quo. Police exist to make sure that white neighborhoods don't start to feel like black neighborhoods, and that black neighborhoods don't start to feel like white neighborhoods. In that model, the two data-driven approaches (predictive policing and DICFP) fall into the same trap that any hacker on HN who has run into office politics is familiar with: the data isn't being used to decide what to do, it's being used to defend an existing decision by powerful people and argue that the decision is right. Should we keep text-based content or pivot to video? Facebook's PMs, who keep the official record of whether people watch videos, have data claiming we should pivot to video. Should we keep patrolling the same neighborhoods we've always patrolled? The police, who keep the official record of crimes, have data saying that crime is bad there.
You'll presumably be executing the code which could trivially include `childProcess.spawn()`. I think energy would be better spent vetting the author of the package. If you're concerned, install it in a VM. It's never safe to run code in any language if you think it might be suspect.
That PV cost of $1/watt is the levelized cost. In other words, it already includes the cost of batteries and the capacity factor adjustment. So 1200GW of nuclear for $440B with a capacity factor of 0.9 is equivalent to 1080GW of levelized solar at $1T. But solar+batteries is halving in cost every 4 years or so, whereas economies of scale / learning effect doesn't appear to apply to nuclear, or at least it didn't for the French.

I'm not sure what you are claiming. You probably won't get $300k in the EU, but if you do, a greater proportion of it will go to taxes - the things you get in return, like pensions or healthcare aren't as attractive at that income level. While US healthcare is very expensive, it's a service, which means it's tied to how much you pay, and not defined as a percentage of your gross income. If you make that much money, you can easily retire early, which wouldn't be possible with government pensions.
In my model, you aren't hiring the worker. You are buying whatever code they write.

The local firm is the one who technically employs the worker and takes on all these risks.

At any point, you can stop buying more code, and the local firm will have to face the consequences.
> if unable to do that, I could provide the 2FA code sent to that same backup email address (how would I be able to know this without being able to know what the address was?)

Two options from the top of my head:

1. you have email forwarding configured so received mails will be delivered to another account. That's generally configured in the settings of the provider (I.e. directly under account settings in Gmail iirc)

2. You have a logged in device which receives mails through an application password. You cannot read it out because it's masked and even if you could, it wouldn't help you because it's only allowed to receive mails, not login.

I don't think this is particularly rare, honestly.

But yes, it is obnoxious.

You need to take in consideration that big corporations are more often slow, bureaucratic, in decision paralysis and having in control people that are managers, not innovators. Microsoft is one of these from time to time, it is a pendulum swing. Steve Balmer was a marketing guy, not an innovator like Steve Jobs. If you look closely, being an innovator is not the path to success, Steve jobs was fired by a bureaucrat (and the board) at Apple, Elon Musk caught a lot of flak at all times, etc. The cancer of incompetent managers is a recurring plague in companies and generalized in governments, that's life.

There are exceptions, but they are not the rule.

I can confirm that compiling the kernel with f2fs support works, and I can't imagine that zfs is different. Was just a matter of cloning microsofts kernel repo, changing the kconfig to include it, building it, copying it to the windows disk (I built it in wsl), and setting up the wslconfig to point at it.
I really think this is a rant. Righteous maybe, but there are so many straw-man arguments and some mysterious "they".

I live in Melbourne, Australia, and we have some of the worst and best. Some of our new apartment buildings are atrocious examples of developer greed.

But some are enhancements to our city, and there are public and business buildings that are similar, while still advancing both technology and architecture.

A lot of the criticisms in this article aren't about architecture, but about town planning. Mixed-use neighborhoods and human scale development is not just individual buildings, it's how they inter-relate and work together. It's about transport systems and infrastructure as well.

The appeal of Gaudi and others is that their architecture is organic and there's no reason modern architecture and infrastructure, especially as we green our cities, won't evolve in that direction.
You can already use services like DyDx, Axie Infinity, ImmutableX for free, and they all run on Ethereum. They are Layer 2's that use Ethereum for security.

We live in a world of post-scarcity when it comes to displaying pixels on a screen. Markets don't make any sense at all in post-scarcity contexts, but we've spent the past few centuries structuring our entire world around markets, and we have so little imagination that people have trouble imagining any different model. The era of selling a single digital illustration to many people is ending. Artists can adapt to a post-scarcity of pixels by making money through patrons and commissions, rather than through trying to awkwardly and wastefully shoehorn scarcity back into the system by NFTs.

> Jeyifous’ work is intricate. It is overflowing with plant life

Architecture usually reflects the times. We love abstractions now, not elaborations and intricacy. The impressive colors and shapes of life have been reduced to the principle of natural selection. Software is equally dull and abstract and uncharming. Monoculture has won in this globalized world. Why should there be a next revolution ?
Some of us are also unwilling to put up with Microsoft's increasing app-ification of the OS, and are willing to put up with a little jankiness in order to ensure we are on a free software stack.

And we still have time for hiking.
Everyone knew Moore's law was going to be a sigmoid curve, otherwise we'd be getting transistors smaller than atoms which is impossible. Today the term is used as vernacular for "well we are still getting smaller." Nobody knows what the last process node for conventional flat semiconductors will be, but recent speculation is around 1.5nm.

Small embedded and low performance chips may have already topped out in a cost/benefit sense. There's no benefit to a 5nm process microcontroller for a coffee maker. The really small nodes may stay reserved for high performance or ultra low power chips.

After we really do hit the top of the sigmoid it doesn't mean computers getting more powerful is over. It just means we would have to go to 3D, massively parallel systems with chiplets, compute/memory integration to reduce RAM latency, special purpose accelerators using quantum or photonic computation, etc.

It does probably mean the free lunch of "faster systems with existing code" is largely over. Of course that free lunch train started to end in the 2000s when clock speeds on conventional chips topped out in the 2-5ghz range. It meant we had to go parallel, a transition very much still in progress.

Edit: remember too that there is a TON of performance on the table on today's systems via more efficient slimmed down code. I think we will see the small/simple/efficient trend increase and bloat will be seen as much more embarrassing than it is today.

Look at what could be done with efficient code on an 8-bit 64K RAM computer in the 1980s:

The problem is that people don’t understand what NFTs are and talk about them with the idea that they are about representing digital art.

NFTs are about representing non-fungible digital assets.

For some reason, NFT art took off (which I don’t understand), but that wasn’t what NFTs were built for. NFTs can represent digital assets that exist fully on a blockchain and aren’t tied to off-chain assets. A digital ID, a in-game asset, a digital license, a ENS name, etc… are all NFTs and don’t need to reference any odd-chain URLs or images.
Watch out for people with umbrellas, or offering cups of tea.
I think this is common for one's internal (not shared) reality. Eskimos have many words for snow as a matter of practicality. Likewise, ideas that do not need to be shared often, or as a matter of survival, end up with much fewer pieces of language dedicated to them, excepting the musings of the bored and comfortable.
That may be so, but being killed isn't the only thing that pedestrians are concerned with. At best it's plain annoying to have a someone on a bike squeezing around pedestrians (remember that even a slow-moving bike is likely faster than people walking), and at worst there are collisions and bumps and forcing people off the path and whatever else.

Cycling on a sidewalk is also not a good experience for the cyclist, either. When crossing a perpendicular street it's quite a pain to look behind to see if someone is about to turn into you as you cross the road. This is no problem for pedestrians because they move slowly and can usually look back without wavering too much. It's not a concern for cyclists on the road because they have the right of way. Then there are reversing cars, stuff in the way (bins, lamp posts, whatever) and myriad other reasons why cycling on a sidewalk is impractical.

I love cycling and bikes and firmly believe cycling has an important role in getting people around. But it shouldn't be at the expense of people who're walking. Bikes belong on dedicated infrastructure or on the road. If the road is deemed "not suitable" somehow this needs to be addressed by building better roads.
There is a certain level of meat production that uses only waste as fodder, land that has no other agricultural value, and doesn't require destroying areas of high biodiversity to make room for our animals. The current global levels of meat productions are extremely far away from this. We cut down vast swathes of forests to get cheap farmland, both for grazing as well as for producing grain and soy as fodder.
The federation is post scarcity though. You only work on what you're interested though, so unless the Klingons/Borg/Romulans are threatening an all out war, I bet you could take things slow and make sure it's done right.
Like x000 years ago when war and famine were always looming threats? Or further back when predators and inclement weather were?

I can't imagine life in the distant past being less stressful.
Colonies were great for colonialists, although the residents might not share these sentiments. All governments can be improved, but the costs and gains should be shared.
