There is no need for a global push service, either. Just some type of API that batches timer wakeups and network keepalives together is enough to guarantee very high battery life, and you can still keep as many connections as the user wants. Many platforms before Google/Apple worked like this.

Push services are a bit more convenient in that they require less infrastructure both in the server-side as well as client programs (e.g. they can even be shut down and still receive messages), but nothing really prevents having an ecosystem of multiple competing push services.
What problem do NFTs solve that regular contracts and IP law don't? As far as I'm aware, NFT sales don't usually include the rights to the IP.
For some reason this happens to me with the MacBook laptop keyboards (the new ones). I don’t know what I‘m doing wrong, maybe it’s because I come from a MK with rather deep keys and all? I haven‘t figured it out yet.

This, by the way, is immediately apparent if you are traveling in Japan. You get the impression that the Japanese don't goof off at work. This is especially noticeable with folks who work outside: road work, construction, janitors, etc. Quick, to the point, and you won't see anyone leaning on their shovels like in the US. My already high regard for the Japanese has improved even more after a couple of weeks there.

I’ll just add that smart collars and sensors are pretty much the norm on cows, at least in Western Europe (which is generally at the forefront in terms of animal care and food safety regulations).

The novelty here is the remote herdkeeping functions. The limit to adapting such tech is usually collar cost and battery life (the industry usually aims for 5+ years of battery life).

Of course the environment is pretty hostile too. Neck collars get snagged on things, exposed to mud and rain, etc.

Anyway, it’s not like “technology finally makes it to farms”. Dairy cows are the worlds most monitored animals.
However, if you want to find the next Einstein, incentivizing more people to study science isn't the worst way to do it.
I don’t have answers, just thoughts. I’m always impressed how some people can take something I thought was either obvious, common knowledge, or nothing interesting and intrigue so many people with it. You might know something that most don’t, and you might be more interesting than you realize to the right people. And hey, you know the internet! That’s where most of the people are!

I believe that everyone has a niche, but they might not realize it, or people might assume it should be bigger than it is. When I started doing web stuff and “making things,” I dreamed of changing the world. That was like 25 years ago. Now I’m making the things that I like, putting it out into the world, and hoping that somehow the right people find it. I don’t want to change the world anymore, I’m just hoping to accidentally change a couple people’s worlds in tiny, beneficial ways.

Small steps. All we hear about and witness are the big leapers. We’re not all big leapers, and that’s so perfectly OK. I’ve come to rather make a single person very happy, even if only for a few minutes, than make 1,000 people kinda happy.

Maybe it feels like staring out at the ocean and feeling completely insignificant. But maybe it’s really that you’re just not meant to do anything with the ocean.

I’d love to hear more about the ins and outs of technical writing. You probably have learned a lot more than you realize about do’s and don’t’s, tips and tricks, etc.

Look small. Don’t expect to make waves. Do things because you enjoy them. If you feel like sharing that with others, do it! Don’t focus on what they want, focus on you enjoying something. Whether that’s learning something in front of people, trying something new, reviewing a YouTube documentary, or whatever.

Or, you know, don’t. :) Just be, and enjoy learning and watching YouTube and know that those things aren’t damaging the world, and that’s a hell of a lot more than many people can say.
Clarification with minor corrections, courtesy of HN's 2-hour edit window:

I'd say "don't compare yourself to others", or "love yourself", but platitudes like that are more detrimental than helpful when you're saying it to someone who couldn't do these things if they tried due to overwhelming biochemical forces at play. I don't know if that's true in your case, but it seems like it could be a possibility.

Also, that isn't to say hard emotional work is pointless or that you're somehow helpless. On the contrary, there's a reason therapy with medication often yields the best outcomes. It's just that sometimes, one part of the equation becomes insurmountable without the other falling into place.

Most of the comments here don't have the slightest clue what that's like.

>But you own the painting

But you still paid a few million more for the original painting, even though it's virtually indistinguishable from a replica. It's more helpful to think of an original painting as a bundle of two things:

Original painting = thing that looks like a painting + bragging rights

An NFT is just the "bragging rights" part of the original painting, and the JPG that anyone can access is the "thing that looks like a painting ".

That reputation is only viewed that way by a tiny number of nerds, typically with static language backgrounds that don't ship much code or product.

I added more value to a tech agency and their clients with PHP than several of the senior Java guys did combined. And they were talented. Just set in their ways and lacked a focus of getting things done and adding value.

They'd waste time overbuilding shit that nobody used because it was interesting to them, not that it would create value for the client or end-users.

Also, I took over several large Node projects built by hipsters and they are the messiest code bases I've ever seen. And I've inherited a lot of trash PHP ones over the years.

Regarding the concurrency thing with PHP - ReactPHP is very nice, PHP 7 and on performance gains were massive, and real-time (search, chat, etc) can be better handled by Algolia/Pusher/etc anyway.

The Node hype train had a great run. And I still like Node. But PHP is the language of getting shit done.
I don't know why this is downvoted. A crashdump would have made this 10x easier to debug.

The answer is because "its linux" and crashdumps (except on a few distros) are not part of the culture. These days linux actually kexec's another kernel with reserved physical memory to handle doing the dumps. This was absurdly hard to setup the last time I needed to do linux kernel debugging (years ago).

The linux kernel is generally compiled without frame pointers, and with other optimizations that are hostile to debugging.

We have kernel and userspace crashdumps enabled on our fleet of FreeBSD CDN servers, and having a real crashdump and not just a stack has been super helpful.
Communism had - and has - their share of Einsteins. It's not enough for communism to win. Especially in today's world, where Einstein from a communist country moves elsewhere early on.

Subscription service is a blessing for both businesses and consumers. However it is shocking to see the exploitations.

I am a little skeptical about crypto but I actually think NFTs seem to be a much more logical application than payment. I can think of a number of reasons you might want to watermark content with a neutral party, but let me give a real world example that makes sense to me. People buy a lot of digital content in games. They play those games across platforms and sometimes even you play a game after the owner of the game changes-- someone buys the publisher, the developer, or they go out of business. That's a real thing that happens.

Say I could buy a limited version Napoleon skin for the next version of civilization, and it would work on any version of that game that ran on any platform. I think that could work with NFTs and I think it makes sense. Games live longer than the companies that create them. How many companies have published Civ? How many ports? Anyone want to guess how many versions there will be in the next twenty years?

I don't know for sure if that would work but it seems possible.

Compression dictionaries don't usually work that way, as far as my understanding goes they just look behind, like "take 15 bytes which were 63 bytes ago", so any data it also a dictionary.

Trained dictionary is just meaningless but very frequent bits of data which may be referenced in that fashion as if they preceded the real data.
Cattle destroy everything they can reach that isn't manufactured from steel. We have to build fences over our water tanks to prevent them from destroying automatic water valves. If they can get to e.g. a phone pedestal it is flattened within a week. Properly-built barbed wire fences deter them, but as soon as a post or wire loosens they're going through. Ear tags were a major innovation, in that they are made of plastic, in constant reach of cattle, and typically are only destroyed at a rate (I'm estimating here) of one per year per twenty cattle. I know that collars have been used to e.g. attach bells to cattle, and the pictures at the Halter site seem solidly-constructed, but I do wonder about reliability...

Pastures are most productive when cattle eat the grass in an individual section to a particular minimum height, and then are moved to the next section. Cattle are fairly easily controlled via trivial annoyances (which makes various barbaric methods like hotshots used by some ranchers particularly unethical), so it makes sense that noise/vibration could move them in a particular direction. There would probably be some leakage, since different individuals have different personalities and tolerances. It looks like you could see the animals who escape on the map in the app, so that would be nice.

Since we AI quite a bit the heat detection would be great. I wonder how it works? Maybe the collars communicate their relative positions to each other?
They are certificates of ownership.

When you own a NFT and it's in your wallet it shows that you own something. This can be used for membership for example where the owner of that NFT is automatically granted access to ... something...?

There are also smart contracts associated with NFTs... Can encode royalties and other things.

For example a creator of an NFT could encode a 5% royalty associated. This means that when that NFT is sold subsequently the original author will make 5% of the sale price.

Some people are starting to sell NFTs like a commitment to give a % of a particular revenue. It's a digital contract.

But sure. Part of owning a NFT you can often display something... Visual. Because well, we live in a visual world.. and right now it's the foundation of many NFT collections.

It's so much more than just art. The smart contract allow many more use cases in the future to prove that you own something, or are a member of something.
People study and apprentice in PR and lobbying just as hard as programmers learn to program. It is a skill with high stakes outcomes, so planning and preparation is important. Ultimately you want to build broad consensus with influential people around your position such that decision makers feel your choice is the safe, obvious, and ideally only choice. Nothing of substance can be done with brute force alone.

Big companies can afford to hire legions of people who have a track record of getting things done legislatively and with public perception. Frankly I know of no antidote. The know how to astroturf grassroots campaigns, defame anyone who opposes them, get an audience with anyone, and research anything at scale.

The best I’ve come up with over the years is some kind of law that requires disclosures about all spending on PR and lobbying, and that those are presented along with all communications. Sort of a nutrition label for hot air. Of course, that would be astonishing difficult to pass into law, with their whole trade leaning against it. Another policy could be to stop making their expenses tax deductible. There was some movement towards making advertising 50% tax deductible rather than 100% a several years back, but American Advertising Federation lobbying made sure it never got any traction.

It's less about a non-public repository and more about a non-git repository. (And some big company/mono repo/history-less CI-auto clones.)

So if you add a "trust"/"signing" system you probably want to make it version control system independent, which doesn't mean there couldn't also be something build on top which isn't vcs independent ;=)

I work for a company that stores and displays images for customers, and converts them to various formats for them... CMYK JPEGs are the bane of my existence. A recent annoyance was a realization that they don't render consistently in different browsers, so some work I put into making sure that CMYK JPEGs always get CMYK JPEG thumbnails to keep colors consistent was basically a waste of time because the end-user can still see inconsistent color previews.

In the end the idea of a CMYK JPEG makes no sense to me, because if you're generating content specifically to print, especially if it contains vector-like content, why are you storing it in a lossy format? But, whatever, that is less annoying than people who ask for the ability to modify the DPI of an image to 72 for "web exports". I built it in instead of trying to explain to them that there's no need to turn a 300 dpi JPG into a 72 dpi JPG for use on social media.

I don't even want to get into the joy of CMYK SVGs with transparency, and trying to explain to customers that since JPG doesn't support transparency I have to use PNG for generated preview images, which necessitate a conversion to PNG, and SVG doesn't have any sort of color profile support, so converting them from CMYK to RGB is kind of just lucky dip.

But in general when you're dealing with user generated content you see a lot of weird stuff... we get a lot of JPG uploads that are actually MP4 video files, and sometimes the reverse, MP4 uploads that are actually still frame JPEGs.
Closely related parties, no change in beneficial owner, entity trading is paid a commission of other market participants profits that result from the artificial inflation of the asset, buying and selling the same or substantially similar assets within 30 days.

If anyone else took 15% of everyone else's returns on that asset and was using their own money with the stated purpose of inflating the asset price, they'd go to jail.

"For example, wash trades were used in the LIBOR scandal to pay off brokers who manipulated the LIBOR submission panels for the Japanese Yen.

> The super structures that the left controls, which the right does not, do have very substantial power however (social media, big tech, hollywood, old media & news, journalism, education, welfare state).

This has become a political rallying cry, but is far from an objective truth. Just because "the left" is other to you, and those structures are other to you, does not imply that its sensible to say that those structures are controlled by "the left". Entrenched power structures are inherently conservative, with at most some feel-good progressive window dressing. That you judge them as being controlled by "the left" really just indicates how far "the right" has strayed from conservatism.
