All digital artwork are "prints" when you save or transfer the work. There's really no concept of "original" in digital as they are indistinguishable. NFT's attempt to add time as a metric of scarcity (this artwork exists on this blockchain at this point in time, regardless of copies). It relies very heavily on a social and cultral decision to place value on this new form of provenance.
When you start saying that everybody else is wrong on issues that are broadly defined by social consensus (e.g. what's a safe speed for this road, what's appropriate attire for the office, etc, etc) you're basically saying everyone is wrong except you but with extra steps.

I certainly don't adore him, but would probably read a good biography about him _because_ he is such a controversial figure.
As I understand it we don't even have to change farming to achieve that. We have abundant food for the current population size. It's distribution and the global economic system that make it extremely unequally available.
I think #3 ("don't moderate away dissenting voices") is a pretty good line / tactic; it makes the community look more independent, instead of a "my product, my rules, I am absolute" community. I mean by all means be on staff, but stay out of forum politics - you are inherently biased towards e.g. criticism. Get some staff to help enforce rules / CoC / etc - if people are being dicks then ban them, but if they're providing feedback you don't like then just... leave it?

Having a community as a third party of sorts helps keep you unbiased.

The definition of value here is what someone is willing to pay for it. If no one is willing to pay much for a CryptoKitty now that was worth a lot in Dec 2017, that means the value has changed because the market has changed.

The parent says that they don't see the value in current NFTs. I tend to agree that I don't agree with their current values. But I also don't agree with the proven value (at public auctions) of baseball cards, original NES game cartridges, the vast majority of sports/concert memorabilia, most fine art, etc. But then again, value varies from person to person because we all make priority and value decisions about what we are willing to spend our scarce currency on. Some people are able to make vastly different choices about their NFT purchases because they have vastly different wealth than I do.

Also, CryptoKitties are an interesting choice because they total number of kitties grows as owners breed theirs. The number of CryptoKitties has grown a lot since Dec 2017. Most NFTs I have heard about have a limited run.
> European Union dictate France what to do using European laws.

That's a common misrepresentation that the government is very happy for us to believe:

- when the government isn't happy with european law, they just ignore it; see also data retention laws and anti-Rroma laws in France which are famously illegal by european standards

- who controls the EU? the french government is one of the key players (along with Germany) controlling the european commission; french interests dictate what becomes european law

> average income

Minimum wage and taxes on fortune are determined by France, not by the EU.

> industries going abroad

This is determined by private industry, not by EU. However, the french government has powers to nationalize those industries, or requisition them, or help the workers self-organize the production (eg. by fundraising to keep activities going). They are just ideologically opposed to that (because they're capitalists), despite all their broken promises for the workers. 1336 and LIP are famous French examples of what workers self-organization can achieve when the government doesn't get in the way.

> pushing to welcome more immigrants

This is controlled by France, not EU, and France is definitely not welcoming immigrants. France has closed its borders (for people, not merchandise) many times since 2015 in contradiction to the Schengen treaty. There are many people dying on the French border, and the government couldn't care less (see also Aquarius scandal). France has also been condemned by the european court of human rights for deporting people before they can apply for asylum at the italian border (which is illegal in international treaties). French police is hunting for undocumented folks; you can see them in the metro in bigger cities controlling anyone who isn't white so they can deport as many people as possible.

> become jobless due to the loss of our industries

We become jobless not through lack of industry, but because the work and resources aren't shared. We live in one of the richest nations on Earth, and we could all work 5-15h weeks and enjoy modern comfort. But people in power like it that over 10% of the population lives under the poverty line. Once again, this is due to the french oligarchy, not the EU.

Perhaps there aren't more biographies of Steve Jobs, because the general public does not really consider Jobs to be "an important historical figure of our time" (and neither Apple to be the most important technological company of our time)?

IMHO, when the iPhone came out, it did not introduce almost anything revolutionary over the already available Windows Mobile PDA devices, it only simplified, polished and packaged the device way better. I still do not understand how Microsoft, considering their extensive experience in operating system development, somehow managed to lose their entire, massive mobile device market share in the course of only a couple of years. All it could have taken for Microsoft to win over Apple was to switch Windows Mobile from a cumbersome stylus-based UI to a convenient touch-based UI without wasting years and years to re-develop the misguided Windows Phone from scratch.
If I am understanding it correctly, Cloudfront can use Accelerator to find the nearest edge location to cache, right?
I mean the officially authorized biography, which in my opinion shows Steve Jobs as a real asshole, is a good read.
> He's most certainly an important historical figure of our time

Is he actually though? He was really wealthy, and sold a lot of mobile devices.

He was fanboyed over by a lot of mobile device enthusiasts.

Of note outside of this - he was a horrible person to work with, and died in large part of lala land medical thinking.

Is this what an important historical figure is these days?

Historical figures are typically more than just grease in the profit engine of a multinational.

The separated lane is just too expensive while there are just a few bikers. If people start using bikes on mixed purpose roads too much, building them after makes sense. But while you are just in the process of promoting the whole cycle thing and there are not that many people, building dedicated tracks does not make much sense. This was the case in our city for quite long time. There was no massive negative sentiment towards cycling. More like, cyclists complained and when there were enough of them infrastructure started to build.

Imo, American negative sentiment and aggression toward bicycles is way more about politics and assumed demographics then anything else. It does not matter how well behaved average cyclist is. It does not matter how intrusive or safe it is. The people who are aggressive will focus on that one minor infraction that happened once to validate their anger.
I make litecoin money transfers from my Spanish account to my Argentinian account. In Argentina the exchange is manipulated by the government, and currency exchange between individuals is illegal. Since cryptocoins are not considered currency, they are in a grey area. If I were to do an international transfer it would be like 2/3 more expensive, not considering even fees.
He didn’t want a license plate so people wouldn’t know which car was his and it would be harder to stalk him.

He didn’t give them away because they were leased and you have to return them at the end of the lease.

There’s plenty to criticize about Jobs and no shortage of criticism, but at least get your facts right.
Nobody is doing this. A person who struggles with ADHD, who has a diagnosed personality disorder such as schizophrenia, or who identifies as asexual is an outlier neurotypically speaking. Pointing this out is not dehumanizing.

The problem with the thrust of the argument the asexual person is making is they are equating their feelings of obsession as "half" of what makes love work. It's a false equivalence.
I prefer to think about "Steve" as little as possible.
But... There's no legal grey area? And the ethical grey area doesn't need NFTs - that could be served just as well by the artist asking people other than the buyer not to copy it?
If I remember correctly was written almost as a reaction to the official biography misunderstanding/misrepresenting the character. I'd say that it's a difficult biography to write since his character seems to have changed quite a lot over his lifetime, and accounts from one era will not be applicable to another. Small Fry is an interesting personal account over time, but obviously very biased and particular. I really enjoyed folklore.org for a look at the professional side of things from a very specific period, and would recommend the hypercritical episode on the book [0] for some good arguments on why Isaacson was the wrong person to write the biography.

I live in Amsterdam in the former social housing area where Anne Frank grew up. It was built in the 20s and is known as “the Amsterdam school” [1]. It is incredible: it is mostly lower than 5 floors (human scale), has a classic look and it provides just enough ornamentation for every building to be just slightly different from its neighbor. Inside the apartments, there are slight variations (eg, different stained glass work). It is truly brilliant large-scale community design that worked.

It makes me wonder why we can’t offer cities around the world more “cut and paste” approaches? Not everything has to be brand new. Like, create 3-D models of communities and then drop in models of “architecture that works” from other cities. Communities could be involved in setting a vision for their own development. This would be a cheap way to create buy-in for density, if you could get a sense of what the community actually wants by presenting multiple options, rather than preparing millions on just one big proposal.

People really underestimate how small the slack is/was in parts of the supply chain.

I remember a couple of years ago when we had a lot of snow (for England) and it kiboshed the supply of things like milk and bread for about a week, even once all the roads were clear.

You only need a chunk of people to buy a few more toilet rolls than they usually would "just in case" and suddenly the shelves are empty.

An NFT is a certificate of authenticity, but it applies to something easily copied. If you think the certificate of authenticity is worth something, great; if you think it gives you ANY kind of legal rights or protection, or any kind of DRM or digital anti-copying protection, you're in for a surprise.

TL;DR: NFT's are a money laundering and tax evasion scheme. There is no value for average consumers, unless the NFT appreciates in value over time and there remains a buyer's market for them. But that's highly volatile and uncertain.

You can have a record supply and still not have enough supply to meet demand. Apple is selling record numbers of products, they have trouble getting the additional supply to meet the extra demand.
A dataframe is usually a list of columns. Columns are usually typed arrays that have a name. It's a bit like a struct of arrays (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AoS_and_SoA) except that you can usually easily transform the dataframe (add columns, split columns, stuff like that).
There are a lot of legendary figures throughout all of history, who made enormous contributions to the world, and in many different ways, who were all assholes. That has nothing to do with it.

As a general rule, there's not much difference between one instance of "console X" and another instance of "console X", but the difference between "PC 1" and "PC 2" can be quite substantial. This usually gives a console a longer useful lifespan than a "gaming PC".

As an example, I bought a PS4 late 2013 or early 2014 (honestly can't recall the exact date), and it was performing pretty well for games released, um, whenever I last bought a new game (late 2020, I think). I doubt that a PC from 2013 would have been able to play a "beefy" PC game released late 2020.

I mean, I guess I could chase the forefront of PC hardware, just to support gaming. But, then I'd also have to dual-boot (it is still the case that a substantial amount of PC games need Windows to run on), and lock myself in to updating the PC hardware every 2-3 years, just to keep up with new titles.

Meanwhile, my primary desktop was purchased before my PS4 and still runs linux admirably. Would I get more oomph if I upgraded it? Sure, more (much more) RAM and probably 2x - 4x the number of cores. But, I don't actually have to, it does what it needs to.

I am imagining a psychology experiment to collect data on the value of ornamentation— eg, having people estimate the relative value of similar buildings in different styles. I think the modernists never got that part of the “function” of forms is to create a neighborhood vibe. Ornamentation can have a huge effect on this.

I’d love to see a return to small sculpture elements based on 3D printing and concrete casting — even if it starts with wholesale copying of ornamentation that works well from the late 1890s.

Signed prints are not necessarily cheap—see Ansel Adams prints going for nearly $1M USD[1]. It becomes a matter of what price society (or, perhaps just a handful of buyers) is willing to place on the artefact.

One of the great things with provenance on the blockchain is that it is not solely dependent on private for-profit auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby's to track provenance of the art we are creating.

By the way, NFT is programmable: it can define whatever you are willing to upload & embed onto the blockchain.

What a disgusting human being he was.

The world is not black and white. There is no clear cut delineation between the 'good' and the 'bad'. We live in a world of subtly and nuance, where people can do good things while also doing immensely shitty things. Jobs was a fantastic business leader. He was instrumental in the founding and running of several wildly successful companies (Apple, Next, Pixar, and Apple again). His vision for Apple products shaped a decade of tech and continues to affect product design long after he passed away. He was the epitome of what makes a brilliant CEO.

He was an asshole. No doubt. He was an asshole who got some amazing things done though. You don't have to like him to recognize that, and you don't have to like him to want to learn about, and even emulate, the admirable bits.

Disagree. What’s wrong with being wealthy and selling a lot of mobile devices. Great accomplishments.

By the way he sold iPhones, not generic mobile devices. :)
> He's most certainly an important historical figure of our time

I wouldn't call him that. He's in second/third leaguer at best. His impact on the world was minor. He deserves biographies for sure (people with much less accomplishments get them as well), but let's not compare him to his contemporaries who were truly important historical figures of that time, like Nelson Mandela or Lech Wałęsa - people who radically changed lives of tens of millions of people.

In general, impact made by individual businesspeople is not that great, because all they do is follow market trends, which makes them fungible -i.e. if Jobs didn't push Apple to make iPhone, some other company would come up with the smartphone later on (the next step in technical/scientific progress is a logical consequence of the previous steps and is usually spotted by multiple companies/people at the same time).

Whereas in politics, the world is not an unidirectional march towards more progress, and, depending on actual leaders, things can get much better or much worse. So, a given leader makes much more of a difference. For example, if Hitler didn't want German race to dominate the world and didn't start WWII, tens millions of people would not have died - that's a huge impact in comparison. The Nazi party and even WWII could still happen without Hitler existing (somebody else might start the party to harvest all the German resentment of that period), but perhaps he'd be less rabid than Hitler, which would result in much less death - hence the actual delta of Hitler is huge. Even deltas of vanilla American presidents are much greater than Jobs'.

Maybe because the iPhone actually delivered much much more that was already available on windows mobile ?

>Initially, people do not fall in love. Rather, they fall in lust. This is typically short term. Love emerges when there is deep, long term compatibility and commitment. Humor helps as well. This is an anecdotal observation from someone who has been "in love" for over four decades...

Maybe there are different kind of ways to love. If you've just met someone, you can have in the first months some kind of attraction that is different than the sexual attraction you might be feeling. We can call that love.

I have dozens of signed prints and it is true that all you get is an accompanied verification document and not any form of legal ownership over the original.

But what you do get is a guarantee from (a) the author and (b) the fact that prints are reasonably difficult to duplicate that there will only be a limited number in circulation. And this enforced scarcity is what makes it valuable even though it's just a print of the original.

If NFTs could limit duplication of digital art that would be something but right it seems like they are more akin to a payment system like PayPal only psuedo-public.
