Somewhere in a box I have the faxes I exchanged with the prime minister of Tuvalu in, I think, 1996 or 1997, explaining to him what the Internet is, what domains are, that they have an assigned ccTLD, why it might be valuable, and how my little ISP could help by registering subdomains.

(We meant to give them all the domain fees and build and host the Web sites for the media companies we expected to flock to the new TLD. That was a hot business in the '90s, kids.)

He didn't get it.

Better-capitalized investors came along a couple of years later and offered the next PM $50 million for the marketing rights, forming a company which eventually got bought by Verisign, which I guess is the contract that is expiring now.
This is like observing structural damage to a bridge after an explosion. If there's a lot of structural damage, the bridge is likely to collapse later on.

If there happens to be structural damage before the explosion, sure, you can probably make similar inferences about danger after the explosion.

But the absence of structural damage before the explosion is not great evidence that it'll look like that afterwards. This is a biomarker of damaged lungs. Covid can be the thing that causes the damage on a clean slate.

edit: so to clarify, you can't test this to confidently state that someone will be fine with covid prior to infection. you might be able to identify some people that will definitely struggle but its likely that this information wouldn't be too surprising to them.

>Can someone, if such a person exists, that believes in NFT's as having actual value please explain it?

The market for paintings and other artwork has existed for centuries or millennia. I've never obtained value from it but many people did. To me it sounds stupid to pay much more than you would for something practically identical, unless you're betting on selling it for more later. I can't see how NFTs are different at all.

NFTs do have one considerable "advantage". It's trivial to have your money semi-anonymized in a blockchain, so it's even easier to launder money. It's also much easier to buy your own artwork for ludicrous amounts, so you can make money selling it after some newspapers pick up the story, and no one will suspect that you did it.

> - French conjugation of verbs is a whole world of its own

> - Nouns are non-gendered in English, and gendered in most European languages. Yes, a ship is a she, and referring to people or animals you use he/she etc. but in Polish and French, every word has a hidden, often undeducible gender you just have to know. Can't remember if German has rules for noun gender.

French conjugation isn't as bad as its reputation suggests. Gender's what dissuaded me from trying to keep up with it, after getting pretty damn good in four fairly-rigorous semesters of French study in college. I never got a feel for guessing gender, because there are lots of rules and way too many exceptions to them. For that and other reasons it ends up being hard to drill French nouns out of context—and actually, drilling adjectives out of context isn't all that useful either, for similar reasons. You kinda have to study the whole thing at once to really internalize all the transformations words undergo due to gender, so using them correctly becomes quick & natural. So much for simple Anki decks and reclaiming otherwise-lost time to work on vocab.

Spanish is so much easier. I barely paid attention for a couple semesters of very half-assed Spanish instruction in high school, but I bet I could correctly guess noun gender in Spanish at a much higher rate than I could French nouns, which language I studied both more recently and probably got ~100x as good at as I ever was with Spanish.
Freedom is context-dependent. Living in a civilised society gives you different kinds of freedoms (and obligations) compared to living in some form of a hunter-gatherer society. Like, freedom to pick the desired room temperature from your AC remote, rather than freedom to roam around and hunt whatever animals you choose.

So....you don't want an NFT for the deed to your house, instead of having to pay gobs of money to do a "search" for other people that might hold a copy of the same paper and be making claims with it?

This should be part of the copyright law. Just like trademarks are legally protected on a "use it or lose it", server-side code should be similarly placed in copyright deposition and released if the company is no longer willing to run the servers. Obviously if a company wants to earn "All Of The Money" on a franchise, they won't be doing that out of the goodness of their heart.
A take home is unreasonable because it's a large time investment for low reward for homework that takes more than an hour. I've never got feedback when I've been rejected at that stage, and when I've made it to later stages it doesn't seem like the offers or jobs are any better. I have no incentive when interviewing seems like a numbers game. It just seems like trying to prove that you'll put up with a companies BS.
As I understand it, collapse is an artifact of the necessity to derive classical results from an experiment. You can think of it as "at a certain scale, calculating this as a quantum system as opposed to classical is no longer worth it." But it's of course still a quantum system, because everything is quantum all the time.
There's some work towards moving the scarier parts of rust builds (e.g. procedural macros, that run arbitrary code) into a wasm-based sandbox. E.g. [1]. Obviously doesn't make the final artifacts safe to run though, and I also wouldn't trust LLVM to have no bugs exploitable by feeding it bad code, but at least it would raise the bar.

What does "Native American" mean in your post? Are you referring to early interactions between the colonizers and the inhabitants of North America, or present-day Native Americans that have lived in Europe?
Bingo. Just because you download an nft doesn't mean you own it. Proof of ownership is achieved by signing a challenge with the wallet linked with the nft (as encoded on the Blockchain).
wow, thanks for the explanation! I was not aware of these subtle differences between the forth and posctript styles. Having implemented a few stack-based mini-languages for mathematical expressions, I always pick a "greedy" evaluation style, where "ifelse" is a function of three arguments (pops the top three values of the stack) which have been evaluated beforehand. Since there are no side effects, the end result is the same, but it is certainly not a "true" ifelse, since both sides get evaluated regardless of the condition.
It's a feature from the viewpoint of ensuring that the chain works at intended. It's a bug from the viewpoint of climate change. Or perhaps a better way of putting it: the fact that proof of work burns a lot of electricity is not a feature, the protocol does not directly rely on electricity being used; that part is a misfeature, aka bug.
>The main issue with OpenZFS performance is its write speed.

At first I thought you were talking about actual raw read/write speed and how things like ARC or write caches can actually become bottlenecks when using NVMe storage, which can easily get to 200 Gbps with a small number of devices. That's being worked on via efforts like adding Direct IO.

Instead though I think you've fallen into one of those niche holes that always takes longer to get filled because there isn't much demand. Big ZFS users simply have tons and tons of drives, and with large enough arrays to spread across even rust can do alright. They'll also have more custom direction of hot/cold to different pools entirely. Smaller scale users, depending on size vs budget, may just be using pure solid state at this point, or multiple pools with more manual management. Basic 2TB SATA SSDs are down to <$170 and 2TB NVMe drives are <$190. 10 Gbps isn't much to hit, and there are lots of ways to script things up for management. RAM for buffer is pretty cheap now too. Using a mirrored NVMe-based ZIL and bypassing cache might also get many people where they want to be on sync writes.

I can see why it'd be a nice bit of polish to have hybrid pool management built-in, but I can also see how there wouldn't be a ton of demand to implement it given the various incentives in play. Might be worth seeing if there is any open work on such a thing or at least feature request.

Also to your lower comment:

>I am using TrueNAS for my ZFS solution and it doesn't offer anything out of the box to address the issues I am bringing up.

While not directly related to precisely what you're asking for, I recently started using TrueNAS myself for the first time after over a decade of using ZFS full time and one thing that immediately surprised me is how unexpectedly limited the GUI is. TONS and tons of normal ZFS functionality is not exposed there for no reason I can understand. However, it's all still supported, it's still FreeBSD and normal ZFS underneath. You can still pull up a shell and manipulate things via the commandline, or (better for some stuff) modify the GUI framework helpers to customize things like pool creation options. The power is still there at least, though other issues like inexplicably shitty user support in the GUI show it's clearly aimed at home/SoHo, maybe with some SMB roles.
I can vouch for VuePress as well. It's fairly straightforward to set up, and extremely easy to deploy. I've used it to not only write the docs for my 6502 assembler, MOS[1], but I took advantage of the fact that VuePress could generate a very simple front page as well.

You should review how Oregon implemented it.

Passes the Carter standards, and has been time tested, production proven here.

I am fine with in person, however doing that actually performs worse given the mess most States have implemented.
Maven Central is somewhat resilient against this. In the java world, an artifact is identified by a group-id, an artifact-id and a version, and some technical stuff. The group id is a reversed domain, like org.springframework.

If you want to upload artifacts with the group id "org.springframework", you first have to demonstrate that you own springframework.org via a challenge, usually a TXT record or some other possibilities for github group-ids and such.

It's not entirely bulletproof, because you could squat group-ids "org.spring" or "org.spring.framework" (if you can get that domain). However, once a developer knows the correct group id is "org.springframework", you need additional compromises to upload an artifact "backdoor" there.

Edit - and as I'm currently seeing, PGP signatures are also required by now.
The terms and conditions prevent you from making anything good with it. All of my ideas were banned because they're too unethical or just recapitulate the functionality of the sandbox. Some key partners like Microsoft have a separate agreement where they're allowed to make useful things.
It is kind of just a fancy way to copy but at the same time gives you versioned deployments, rollbacks etc.
Right. If the issue is that you don't trust a government enough to allow them to track ownership via updating the copyright registration, then relying on them to help enforce your digital scarcity.

In reality the only digital scarcity that NFTs directly create is the scaricty of the token itself. Which is fine, and could potentially be used for interesting purposes. One problem is that they pretty much always require off-blockchain knowledge of which contract is the correct one for the purpose.

The other problem is that most plausible useful purposes I've seen discussed (like tracking "ownership" of digital items in a video game) could work just fine as a centralized database.

I've yet to see a proposed practical use (not "art") of NFTs where all participants are sufficently mutually distrustful that a central database cannot be used. There may well exist such uses, and those might be worth getting excited about.

As for the "art", well digital money laundering schemes just don't cut it for me. Like literally: selling some shitty tokens and buying it using other accounts you own, is a great way to provide an explanation for crypto you acquired from some illegal trade or whatever. If anybody asks where you got the crypto from, you can point to your NFTs, and explain that you are just as shocked as everybody else at how much people are willing to buy this stuff for.

The beauty of an open protocol is that you probably won't need a new client -- all the existing clients will just add it as another network to connect to.

Remember back in the day when everything was an open protocol? We didn't use five chat clients -- we used Trillian to connect to all the different networks.

> NFTs aren’t the artwork. They’re a fancy crypto receipt that says “I paid X amount to someone and we agreed that transaction had a link to this specific JPEG”. You can technically go into the blockchain and confirm that your receipt was the first, but there’s nothing stopping anyone else from making another NFT of the Mona Lisa and selling it.

A bill of sale to the rights to a musical recording is just a receipt and doesn't physically stop anyone from violating copyright, sure. This isn't new. People commission artwork and buy the rights to it all the time. What's new is simply the mechanism being put on a blockchain. I don't get what's so inherently crazy or a scam about that. Furry "adoptables" would map very easily onto NFTs.

NFTs for things you don't own are more silly novelties or scams, but we've always had bridge sellers.
I guess I'll just leave a firehose blowing water out my window because it's not me who's literally sourcing tap water, it's the utilities, and if they do that by overusing and destroying some watershed it's not my fault since I'm not literally the one doing it.

Changing jobs because of the tech stack doesn't sound like the smart thing to do (you know, unless the teck stack is the root of other problems).

As others mentioned, if you are learning new things and you like it so, you can learn react (or whatever) on the side.

FWIW I would prefer a front end dev who has worked with vanilla js extensively and has real experience with the basis over one who has only worked with react or some other framework (if that's the only metric being used to assess their abilities).
ListT removal isn't bold. It was known for a long time that it needs to go and you should use one of the explicit alternatives instead.

> What mechanism forces you to add right-handed partners?

A Dirac mass term (the kind used for all other Standard Model fermions) involves both left-handed and right-handed particles:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterile_neutrino#Mass

So you can't have one without both. (BTW, the linked section says "there are no Dirac mass terms in the Standard Model's Lagrangian", but it should really say that the Dirac mass terms in the Standard Model Lagrangian arise as a consequence of the Higgs mechanism.)

> Wikipedia also says

I can't find that quote, but I guess it's about experimentally observed particles. It would not apply to a right-handed neutrino:

The problem with Munich was lobbyism, they were almost done with porting all their systems.
Yup. One of the first things I noticed. I'd rather prefer it stays on the same tool.
People focus on the money, so walk away thinking “scam”.

Legitimacy, reputation, community. These things are scarce and important.

People like nfts. It’s pretty fun minting an nft on my own contract, then going to opensea and connecting my wallet and there it is. Then I go to Zora and connect, and there’s my files again. Then to showtime, still there. Open rainbow on my phone, everything goes with me.

Add on top of that resales, a royalty system, access keys to discord channels and tv shows, programmability so I can plug together my files however I like. Maybe I add a rule that you have to share the file with other people or it self destructs. Or you have to pet it like a tamagotchi.

All of the content is still freely accessible. NFT != DRM. So I can listen to all the music and see all the art. And I can have ownership of the things that are special to me. I spend 12hours a day on computers, why would we think digital artefact shouldn’t be valuable. Why would we think people wouldn’t want to belong to clubs and have a way of showing ownership of items relating to them. With a consistent way of referencing the data and signatures. All on the same api.

Yeah you could use pgp and share torrents and pay artists over Patreon.

But this is easier, faster, and more fun.
This. At home I use Ubuntu I tried Libreoffice few months ago, for anything non trivial it just sucks compared to Office, years behind.
I don't know what kind of documents this German state creates, maybe for them Libreoffice feature are good enough.
And I'm just talking about document creation feature, whole Office 365 collaboration ecosystem is huge and on Windows PCs it works just fine, at least most of the time.

I really would like them to succed, we really need a real MS Office competitor, but it's very hard, MS can be a powerful opponent[0][1]

We could use vacuum tubes instead of transistors.

(I googled this to make sure I wasn't misremembering what I read 40 years ago in an already outdated book at the library and I was suddenly filled with a sense memory of the smell of the interiors of old electric appliances loaded with tubes and dust.)
That's just one approach to hobbies. Some people lose themselves best in pursuit of a goal.
We also use Docusaurus. It has good defaults. If you are familiar with react, mdx (markdown + jsx) allows you to easily create and embed interactive react components.

It's technically still in beta with frequent updates, and the occasional breaking change.

For our site (https://deephaven.io/core/docs/), what I liked was the ease of adding your own plugins. We made a plugin that extracts all our code examples, and automatically tests them against new versions to notify us if any examples break or become stale.
No mystery at all, you add it to the massless part of the Standard Model Lagrangian. :)
On my twitter feed, I keep seeing tweets from something twitter calls "topics". Apparently they were automatically assigned to me based on previous tweets I had liked. Didn't want to see any tweets from people I don't follow. And instead of having to unclick 200 topics or so, I used this app to automate removing them from my profile.
> Well, that's a really bad reason to use chrome or some other chromium based browser.

Who said I do, I often have multiple months between every time I use a Chrome or Chrome based browser.

Edit, I use a multipronged approach:

- I use only Firefox - except once in a blue moon to verify if something is an actual Firefox bug or a general bug.

- and develop in Firefox. Bonus: Without testing in any other browsers most weeks I can count on one finger the times I have introduced cross browser defects

- I raise awareness that Mozilla is extracting money from Firefox, not funding it.

- I raise awareness about how Google is pushing to kill competition in the browser markets (besides here on HN and contacting authorities myself I have also urged a grumpy colleague today to contact relevant competition authorities)

- I rise awareness about the likely outcome of a Chrome monoculture: mostly that ad blocking will disappear, the web as a platform will stagnate and we will have to live with more nasty restrictions.
thanks for mentioning the Berlin airport fiasco - I had never heard the story - hilarious and very troubling for those in Berlin!
Yep, that makes sense. It doesn't give us a timescale for when such a "jump" might happen but suggests that it could be "big" in the context of our heretofore discoveries

My best guess at timescale (following up on the cosmology theme) has to do with our rate of utilizing the inner solar system as a clean and quiet laboratory for ultra sensitive observations and experiments (whether LISA) or extremely sensitive telescopes or any other probes.

So be patient for a few more decades :-)

> Huh? What are you talking about? ZFS has had a write cache from day 1: ZIL.

The ZIL is specifically not a cache. It can have cache-like behavior in certain cases, particularly when paired with fast SLOG devices, but that's incidental and not its purpose. Its purpose is to ensure integrity and consistency.

Specifically, the writes to disk are served from RAM[1], the ZIL is only read from in case of recovery from an unclean shutdown. ZFS won't store more writes in the SLOG than what it can store in RAM, unlike a write-back cache device (which ZFS does not support yet).
