Anyone at any time can see the wallet address that created the NFT. It's trivial for any author or creator to publish their wallet address; it's simply a short hash value. That's the "verification outside of the blockchain" that you seem to think is such a stumbling point. I would suggest thinking more on the subject if it isn't obvious to you that this has value.
Malcolm Harris doesn’t say what commitments DeBoer is breaking. He would be more credible if he did.
My extended family has opted out of holiday spending for many years now. It’s just not sensible to buy things we don’t want or need, and we’re not low income. Plus it’s a good way to stick it to the big firms who moved their factories overseas.

If I need a product made overseas I just buy it direct from China, which always saves money. End-arounding the nominally US companies who just take the moron cut is everybody’s duty.
The “No, X isn’t that bad” is an actual rhetorical technique designed to cause you to become desensitized to X still being bad. It’s sort of like a “straw dog” technique, although its focus is in distracting you from considering the pressing issues still associated with X. “Well, they were wrong about this particular straw dog about X, so any other issues brought up regarding X are probably wrong too.” Or that’s what they hope your subconscious gets trained to believe.

6.2% is very significant if persistent. I’m too old to think it is really really bad…I lived through the 70s in the US when it was double-digit.
This is a very cynical take. Not all of these things are designed to trick you.

For example, requiring a credit card for a free trial is to prevent free trial abuse. A normal person can only get so many valid credit card numbers, assuming you can detect burner cards (which for the most part the CC companies will happily help you do).

Yes, a good company will notify you that a trial is going paid, and a great company will require an affirmative action on your part, but the main goal isn't to trick you and hope you forget.

Also, the part about not prorating costs if you use less resources. Usually you get a discount for paying up front. The reason you get a discount is because it allows the company to do more efficient resource planning, a savings they pass on to you. If they allowed you to cut back, you haven't upheld your part of the deal. A big company can absorb the loss, but a small one can't.

Yes, some companies do these are dark patterns to increase their profits. But most have some pretty good non-nefarious reasons to act like they do.

I wonder about this, because an awful lot of post-2008ish technology simply seems to be "like before, but different enough that we think we can be the first movers of the Next Big Thing, and therefore make a killing."

When you really get down to it, a lot of the popular technology isn't all that different from IRC, Usenet, etc., just app-ified and Web-ified (and emoji-ified, of course). I'm not sure moving to a "Web3" paradigm is going to be all that different, just with a new set of Very Important People driving it.

Those gas tanks are more risky when you have constraints on weight and material of the tank, like in moving vehicles. I agree though, people unfairly disqualify hydrogen on this risk only.

If you store the 3 copies separately in sealed containers, regular (no worse than yearly) inspections should probably suffice.
The damage is visible; if anything looks off, put it back and immediately organize preemptive data rescue. This can be obvious discoloration (likely with a gradient) or discrete specs, the latter can also happen to BD-R HTL where they are "just" delamination. That is thankfully a fairly slow progressive effect from AFAIK the acrylic glue slowly hydrolyzing, and can be counteracted by cold constant-temperature constant-low-humidity storage (an office cabinet with AC is better than a finished basement w/o AC).

IPC buffers are absolutely complicated and specific to the kernel and IPC method. I've worked on several applications that required various kernel tuning to perform well, and I still can't remember how any of it works. You can't really just know how buffers are going to work, because they might change in the next kernel release.

The only reliable way to understand the buffers affecting your individual application, is to do functional performance testing. You have to re-create the exact scenario you want to run "in production", slam it with different kinds of way-too-big requests, and record every facet of the system up to the point it fails. Then you can do a deep dive to discover which part caused a problem and tweak settings until it works as needed.
Agreed that they're not always perfect. I think they sometimes miss on the guests where you wind up with 3 distinguished experts and then some equivalent of Rush Limbaugh, and the debate takes a turn for the worse every 4th speaker.

> (sort of like a private password)

I think this is an unfortunate framing. The property of public key cryptography is that unlike secrets such as passwords only one party has the private key. This instantly eliminates an important class of potential problems.

And unlike with something sophisticated like an asymmetric PAKE, I think it is relatively practical to explain this benefit to end users, Monzo's counter-parties can't lose a private key they don't have and can't produce signatures from Monzo themselves. If there are signatures that shouldn't exist Monzo knows the problem necessarily must be with their systems.

British Banks rely far too much on trust. A symptom of this is that periodically a big merchant (e.g. a supermarket) will accidentally run a transaction feed twice (e.g. all card transactions at Tesco on Thursday happen twice). The bank could insist (as it does for its own personal account holders) that these transactions have unique IDs authenticated by the card, which would thus mean the duplicates are rejected, but it trusts these huge merchant customers, so all the transactions they say occurred are just assumed to be fine, and the result is that the banks eat a bunch of customer anger and costs. It was remarkable to me that this would happen in 1995. It's outrageous that it still happens today, but it does.
> There are a lot of people that think this is cancel culture. Bobby Kotick is likely going to be "cancelled"/fired from Activision if their board has any sense in the next few days. Was he cancelled, or did his past behavior finally catch up to him?

He's being fired because of his actions, not his beliefs or speech. Nixon resigned because he broke the law.
There were two things that happened with Dixie Chicks, people calling into their radio stations requesting they be blacklisted, this is most definitely cancel culture.
They also offended their core audience who just stopped buying their records which isn't cancel culture. Maybe in 2003 you were excited they had to face consequences for sharing their beliefs, but I wasn't enthused about it then, and I'm not now.

Would it be healthy to live in a culture where Walmart fired every worker who pro-BLM?

Where Amazon asks anyone they hire how they feel about unions before hiring them?

How much harder is it than the process of building your own bacteria from a DNA sequence...? Would just tacking it into a bacterial DNA sequence and being lucky end up in replication of it?

I remember when I looked into it that about $5k of equipment scrounged from ebay and stuff being trashed from labs was probably enough for making your own bacteria.

Same as other supply chain blockchain efforts, a single (usually still decentralized) public ledger indicating ownership. Though not all are aimed at decentralization, more at creating a public ledger with some cryptographic methods used to ensure its validity.
I agree, and was going to posit the same argument, however, a credit card is a useful way to get unique info. If someone signs up to free trail without something like a CC, instead using an email address, then they just have to register a new email address to get further free service. Although I am sure there are alternatives that I havent considered.
I advise/consult/build technology for a wide range of industries. (From AEC Firms to Major league sports teams) From my perch, the meaningful proliferation of blockchain in those industries has been...zero. And that's not to say it hasn't been on the tip of many of their CTO's tongues.

How to Get Millionaire with Bitcoin

Oh yes, let's reinvent the Erlang/OTP in C just to save CPU cycles (I bet that won't be the case). Let's waste millions of hours of programmers' life, just to make a point.

C or any "so called" efficient languages are wonderful for their use cases. Python or Erlang have other use cases. We have all of those languages for a reason.

Web 4.

Don't paper over history.

The Semantic Web was the first that dreamed of distributed, decentralized taxonomies of data shared p2p. Facebook and Google sidelined it.
We need to get specific. There is no web3. People aren't going to just take everything from the crypto ecosystem and instead we need to talk about what is good and what is terrible.

Crypto currencies are terrible - or at least I have heard of no reason why people need them outside of ponzi scheming, ransomwaring, or your drug deal - especially since they are NOT cheaper to do transactions in and are NOT anonymous and are definitely NOT (yet) even close to green.

That said, things like distributed file storage (IPFS) and distributed identity are really interesting. We really do need solutions around how we prevent China, Russia, and other governments from basically brainwashing folks through turning off any part of the internet they don't like. I'm all-in on that part.
The study is primarily about palmitic acid, claiming that it promotes a prometastatic memory via Schwann cells. Palmitic acid is found in many foods, oils, lotions and occurs naturally in the body. That fact and also the artificial environment required to get the mouth and skin cancer cells grafted into the fragile mice makes it difficult to form any meaningful conclusions regarding diet.

What is interesting about the study is it adds to a growing body of work on how tumors hijack nerve pathways to promote metastasis. The claim of this work is that the presence of palmitic acid potentiates a robust cancer partly by stable epigenetic changes in the tumors, recruiting a type of glia and promoting a regenerative environment via the neural network which forms about the tumor cells, even after changes in the availability of the fatty acid.
You plan to make learning resources more accessible by gating them behind a limited supply NFT? Interesting.

> Ah, your data is well out of date.

Smallpox has been eradicated since the 1970s. There is no other data, and the data that exists doesn't support your assertion. A paper from 2001 is up to date.

Citing point estimates for SARS-CoV2 is not a rebuttal; there are many such estimates, and as I said, they're specific to time and place. The best you can do is compare distributions and look for general trends.

> The delta variant (B.1.617.2), now dominant in California and elsewhere, is approximately 2x more infectious than that original variant from the data I’ve found...That would put it (in a ‘natural’ setting) at R0 being roughly 12-13

You're just making things up. You can't take an old estimate, multiply it by some arbitrary factor, and draw a conclusion from it.

I keep hearing this (healthy) skepticism, but it does lose sight of what is happening in many countries. For a lot of folks (me included) Web3 is about using decentralized blockchains in a web context to reduce problems that arise with control from centralized systems. It makes sense for specific use cases, so let me give you 2.

1) Finance (DeFi). Even for valid (non-criminal) uses cases, there are numerous laws and regulations that translate into crazy fees to do proper crossboder money transfer. I transfer money every month from the US to different countries in LATAM to pay employees, and historically you get screwed with various fees depending on how you structure the transfer (e.g. to the employee directly vs. to an entity in the receiving country that disburses the money to different local employees).

During the past few years I have encountered everything:

- unexpected fees beyond the local transfer fee at the receiving end (that change some times) (hello folks at Interbank!)

- low-fee provider that canceled our account because the TOS said that the service was meant to be used to send money to family and not to employees (hello folks at Xoom!)

- holding of money transferred for a week because of some threshold passed that triggered some AML check (hello folks at BCP!)

- provider that canceled transfer to a particular country for political instability (hello folks at Transferwise!)

- etc etc

All that goes away when you use p2p networks (like the ones from Binance https://p2p.binance.com/en?fiat=CNY&payment=ALL) and stablecoins to transfer money. The fees are low (or sometimes non-existent) and the transfer happens in seconds (vs the hours/days in a traditional system). Literally millions of cross-border dollars get transferred this way every day. Additionally, I hear of other folks who have escaped authoritarian regimes but still have family in those countries where there are strict restrictions to send/receive money. Guess what they are using?

2) Digital Property/Rights:
Whether you want to accept it or not, there is an entire market where all kinds of property is being transferred through smart contracts. Sometimes the traditional digital item (say an NFT) has an associated real-world contract attached to it that extends some sort of right/ownership of a physical item in the real world. The rights to these items is being transferred from person to person every day. That market keeps growing, and it is not just "exchanging jpegs" anymore.

For both of these use cases, there are real world scenarios where a central authority has been by-passed for a legitimate transaction. And it happens every day today. The use cases for web3 is not running a "distributed Wordpress instance", but other useful real-world use-cases like these that we are starting to discover.
As far as I can tell, you're saying that if a piece of GPL software includes unchanged BSD code, anyone can download that unchanged BSD code from the repository for the GPL'd piece of software and use it under the BSD license.

This is not a situation that anyone is discussing.

What is being said is that I can take a piece of BSD code, modify it as I see fit, and relicense the assemblage as GPL (or as my personal property for that matter) as long as I include the BSD license and acknowledgements when I redistribute it. I cannot take a piece of GPL code, modify it as I see fit, and relicense it as BSD. If you disagree with this, explain why, but don't bring up some situation that is as vanishingly rare as to possibly have never happened. If you're desperate for a piece of BSD code, and the only place to get it is within the repo of a GPLed piece of software that includes it untouched, nobody is going to claim that code becomes GPLed from being distributed alongside GPLed software. But if I go through that code and add the prefix "GPLisbetter-" to every variable name, can you use it under BSD?
Definitely, "feels dated" is very subjective. The other problem ("I feel like I'm fighting with the tool", "I'm jumping all over the place to do what I want") may be related to your "UI tetris" point, and I may be unnecessarily tying it to the UI feeling "dated".

ISTM that what is needed is to observe how people interact with the tool and then try to figure out how the workflow can be improved based on those observations. Or maybe I'm trying to interact with gerrit in some strange way - that's also possible.

The +1 / +2 for different labels aren't that confusing to me - additionally, in Chromium I found that gerrit is very descriptive when you on-mouse-over the buttons, but IDK if it's specific to this deployment or if that aspect got improved.

Your "reads like" summary is a mischaracterization of the piece in my opinion. He's addressing those he did not directly harm, not Harris; he does not say people should "just let it go" and certainly does not say they are bad people if they do not; and he does not say people should never tell anyone about his misdeeds.
I've never thought about this despite both of my cats being chipped, to be honest. They came chipped from the breeders (all cat shelters have them chipped when leaving as well), and vets just scan the chip when they first see them.

Until this thread I haven't been sure what would happen if the cat is actually lost and gets scanned at a shelter or vet after being found.

Having just looked it up, I see that for cats there is a single organization which registers microchipped cats. Registration is free and highly encouraged by vets, shelters, and breeders. I'm going to check my cats' chip numbers tomorrow to make sure the info is up to date, but I imagine they're tied to my "person number", which would make it pretty easy for a vet to track me down if they're found.

For dogs, an ID chip is apparently required by law; dogs and the human responsible for them are registered in a central register run by the Board of Agriculture.

So at first glance luckily there doesn't seem to be too much confusion with registration databases in my area from what I can see.
Is there a calendar or schedule app that has a timeline (Gantt-ish) view?
As a freelancer in a creative field, I'd love to be able to schedule my work in day or half day blocks across different projects and to have flexible views of my schedule. It seems the trends in new calendar/scheduling apps are either team stuff, automating stuff, etc. So I recognise there probably isn't huge demand for what I'm after, but the possibility of seeing my iCloud calendar and my work projects scheduled all in one view with clarity and flexibility would be amazing.

Does anyone know of anything like this? I've learned I'm not a good candidate for task / project management apps, and I need the flexibility just to have high level 'blocks' of time for projects, and that I need to have the ability to ensure I've blocked off enough time for each different client / project to ensure nothing is forgotten.

I use Xero and Harvest, and have discovered that Harvest's 'Forecast' is an OK candidate, but it's heavily geared toward teams in its functionality, and it's also not as integrated into Harvest as one would assume it would be, so I'm not totally sold on it.

I'd love to hear about anything that's out there that my intensive (obsessive) searches might have missed!
