Games can load them from ipfs and verify ownership or somehing, but to counterfeit all you have to do is change the shade of pixel by one bit and get a new hash.

So then you have to move to a whitelist system where someone centralized (or a DAO) has to manually act as a copyright system, whitelisting hashes, duplicating the work of the existing copyright and legal system.

You’re right, I misunderstood what the magic number was being used for.
They can be couterfeited by changing one bit.
Sometimes it's to handle higher currents, other times it's to reduce the bond wire inductance and improve the high-frequency response. For power pins it can be both. Especially for a multi-chip module with some digital circuitry, there's potential for high-frequency digital transients that need nearby decoupling capacitors through low-inductance loops, or the transistor switching noise can pollute other copackaged circuit supplies; amplifiers also benefit from lower inductance on the supply lines since it stabilizes the frequency response at higher offsets beyond the loop bandwidth of any integrated supply regulation, current sources, bandgap references etc. So you're essentially correct, it's about voltage gradients, but probably at higher frequency.
What could go wrong with mandatory digital IDs?

It's possible that the went back to the old keyboards for another reason. Not because they dislike mech keyboards but because of analysis paralysis.
Re read that post with the quotes too, it aligns with yours as well.

Might not get that impression just from the selected quote, but initial part makes it clear.
The main selling point for me, on NixOS is the ability to switch machines easily, and know that I'm basically using an identical build. Throw your config files onto GitHub or a flash drive, then do whatever you want on your desktop. Want to switch to your laptop? Pull any changes down, do a quick rebuild, and you have an identical system. If you buy a new machine, just install nix, pull down your config files and you're good to go. It used to take me hours to set up a new device, often relying on carefully crafted bash scripts, to try and replicate builds, that needed to be constantly maintained. Not any more.

BTW, I rarely rollback, and if I do it's because I've monumentality fucked something up, which is a great feature.
> You can build games that verify your NFT and allow you to use the art/resource in game.

While true, the only one deciding whether you are granted the ingame usage is still the developer/publisher, so in that scenario you basically just did exactly the same thing as before: a database lookup to check if a player "owns" a particular item. Only this time with a much slower and more inefficient database.
Nothing about it being a NFT grants any advantages in that case, the developer can still take it away, ban your account, remove the item from the game etc. because they are still the ones controlling everything. You just decentralized the database entry.
Disclosure: I manage the Ion and PartiQL teams at Amazon.

If you want to create an issue for it (the best repo is probably the ion-docs one: https://github.com/amzn/ion-docs/issues) that will help to show us there is demand for it. Providing information on your use case helps us prioritize.
Too much effort on racial equality in the admissions process, too little on ensuring success in college, graduation and beyond. My top 10 college was hyper focused on diversity admissions, but the graduation rate of the under represented population was under 50%. Students shifted down due one tier due have a much higher rate of success than students shifted up one tier.

If we want to be serious about equity and equal opportunity, we should focus on eliminating legacy.

NFTs are about the token ownership, not the asset, so this archive is rather pointless on its own.

But it's a very meta "art" piece as described by the article, especially if it also serves as an NFT asset itself. Will be interesting to see how how far this layer cake will go.

What was unique about Korolev was the fact that his designs worked almost from scratch and usually did not result in much delay. It wasn't just product of his genius, but of the fact that he was willing to spend hours and hours on the phone with various factories, cajoling and threatening them into shipping the necessary parts in good quality and on time. Generally, the USSR had a major weakness in logistics of industrial products and Korolev was able to overcome it.

N-1 was an impressive design, but Korolev's successors were unable to get it to fly, which was a major financial black hole and a source of embarassment for the USSR. To be honest, we do not know if Korolev could make it fly either. The design was very revolutionary, a lot of engines firing at once.

Soviet engines were absolutely great. But development of the launchers as such slowed down significantly after Korolev's death.

As one of the examples of losing the edge: Soviet attempt at building a space shuttle was almost ten years delayed compared to the American one.

I'm gonna copy my questions from another thread about transferable items because I'm genuinely curious about the answers.

Why would an asset designed for one game make sense or look good or feel at home in a completely different one?

Why would companies make one of them and sell it for a million bucks instead of trying to convince more players to buy it in a shop for two bucks?

Is the mechanic of a weapon gonna adjust to the new game when you import it or stay the same? If it stays the same, it's gonna be exploit galore. If it changes, well then, what's the point? Gonna be the same AK-47 as everyone else's, but this tiny sticker on it that nobody's gonna pay attention to is unique!

Even if we pretend this is somehow a promising field, why even use NFTs and make each one a couple of pixels different instead of making a common one, selling it for like $50, buyers get a file in whichever format is agreed upon, and import them in the settings?
NFT are just like tweets. An NFT of a torrent is the same thing as a tweet linking to a torrent, just that in this case the tweet is stored in a blockchain and people can buy it.
> so focused on leadership, right?

indeed, and repetition as a lever of the leaders. Repetition makes people believe anything plus forgetting it's a belief.

If you hear 'mooo' all day long, you better behave like a cow. You'll be treated like one anyway. That's nothing to think about. Mental firmware does that.
Reproducible builds are an important part of efforts to secure the software supply chain. Ideally you want multiple independent parties vouching that a given package (whether a compiled binary, or a source tarball) corresponds to a globally immutably published revision in a source code repository.

That gives you Binary Transparency, which is already being attempted in the Arch Linux package ecosystem[0], and it protects the user from compromised build environments and software updates that are targeted at a specific user or that occur without upstream's knowledge.

Once updates can be tied securely to version control tags, it is possible to add something like Crev[1] to allow distributed auditing of source code changes. That still leaves open the questions of who to trust for audits, and how to fund that auditing work, but it greatly mitigates other classes of attack.

Ah yah that’s right. I’m just learning more of ipv6 and get it mixed up. It appears what I had in my mind was about intermediate routers: “Unlike in IPv4, IPv6 routers (intermediate nodes) never fragment IPv6 packets.” (Wikipedia). To the previous point, it looks like ipv6 does require networks to send 1280 byte or smaller packets unfragmented.

The comments on these articles seem to generally come out in favor of standardized testing (specifically the SAT).

This could be done without NFTs. There aren’t that many platforms, they could all build api integrations if they wanted. But they don’t want to because they like having users locked in.

NFTs along with all non money crypto feel like a solution in search of a problem. And all of these solutions are things already possible and easier without crypto.
> You don't have to. You just ask the bank when you call them back: did someone just call me a little bit ago? What about?

> If the bank can't answer that question, it's time to find another bank. Any reputable bank will be able to look at your file and see that a call was made to you and what the issue was.

That won't help: all the phisher has to do is make a call at around the same time that the legit employee called you. The person you called back would probably not be able to tell you what the call should be about anyway.
Sure, but......why? How is that different than just setting 1 instead of 0 on a database for the game somewhere?
I think it does illustrate that NFT themselves are useless (other than being some sort of performance art). If you legally bought the right to something, what has value is not the NFT, it is the legal contract of the transaction. If you don’t sign a contract, the NFT is just a few bytes stored somewhere that have no consequences. The value is in the legal agreement.

It is a misuse of aggregate descriptive statistics to ascribe moral right or wrong since the state of the world for this dimension, “income,” is the result of 7b+ choices that might still add up to “wrong” even if all those choices were “right.”

Funny you mention that. I'd say based on personal recollection that in "public service" you'll likely find people in on the scams.

Former congressman from NOLA, Bill Jefferson, orchestrated scams involving securing minority-preferred business loans to found rural phone companies. Those rural phone companies would then pay him back by getting pre-arranged contracts from African countries like our phone scammer friends in Nigeria.

When hurricane Katrina hit, they found $90,000 in cash in his freezer. Was pretty close to the $100,000 in cash that the DOJ had videotaped him receiving from the Nigerian government's vice president a few days before.

Some folks like to make a technical argument that no, it's not; the buckling spring on a model m keyboard isn't what actuates the keys on the Model M and similar keyboards; instead, the springs are mounted on top of a fairly traditional keyboard membrane layer, and it's the membrane layer that acts as the "switch".

So there are mechanical components and it mostly feels mechanical, but there's a membrane underneath it all that's what actually triggers the key presses.

It's kind of a pedantic argument, I guess? But they do say that "technically correct is the best kind of correct", so YMMV.
Totally.

Who is going to pay a studio to develop the models, artwork and code required to have a ‘NFT skin’ in a game? Money is made by selling a skin multiple times to return effort.

I also disagree with these sort of decisions but this seems a bit hyperbolic. Certain institutions will probably admit fewer students who are able to excel in those fields, and if the change is large enough it will affect the quality of those degree programs (although in probably any admissions process talented students will be better able to game it).

But the likely eventual outcome to that seems like it would be other institutions attracting the most talented students and professors. It's hard for me to imagine every single university getting on board with this, although I could imagine STEM being increasingly concentrated at universities with that focus like Caltech instead of general liberal-arts schools.

It also might be kind of interesting if the brightest students tried to excel more in things that aren't directly competitive (kind of like Thiel fellows), although I don't think that's the purpose behind these sorts of changes.
Regarding kids and at the risk of sounding overly negative:

Given that 100% - `0.0001%` of people are basically average and judging by my Internet most of the people have a very pessimistic outlook on life and the future, is it really fair to have children?

If they don't, by slim chance, become that one in a million that just breezes through life ... they will become as pessimistic as we are ... and at some point they will find that their only contribution is having kids on their own.

(Disclaimer: I am not anti-kids, I/we always planned on having some, but as we are barely making ends meet it has never really been a good time and now we are in our mid-30s and time is running out)

> What I am asking is why would α = 0.0072973525693 be more of a problem than electromagnetism or the speed of light being constant or e=mc^2? If the fine structure constant was exactly 1 would that make it better? Why is 1 less arbitrary or more good?

α = 1 is less arbitrary / more good than α = 0.0072973525693 because the former requires fewer bits of information than the latter. Fewer bits => more parsimony.

Similarly:

1 < 10, therefore if parsimony is desirable, 1 is better than 10.

Is there a reason neither Guix nor Nix have made an LTS-type repo?

A rolling release seems at odds with the stability granted by reproducible builds.

Maybe I have a miopic view, but what's nice with Ubuntu LTS is you know everyone and their mothers has built and tested their packages/libraries/executable against the lib versions provided by Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04 or whatever. You also know those libs, at their given versions, will get patched as issues come up. If all your libraries are constantly churning then you have no idea of the quality of the libs you're linking to (and that lib's dependencies are also churning in turn). You can pin versions, but there is no guarantee what you're pinning to will be patched and fixed as issues come up

So I actually started a business back in 2012 specifically for animal tracking on farms (cows and sheep).

We tried BLE, image detection, loads of different approaches which worked at "prototype scale", the problems were:

1. Farms are geographically big, tend to have hills and metal stuff which bounces signals all over the place. LoRa is slow, BLE has a short area. If you're close enough to connect with the cow, you might as well get out the truck and do whatever it is yourself.

2. Animals, especially cows, can and will destroy anything they trample. That includes expensive dongles, wifi base stations, pipes, electric lines. This infrastructure is flimsy and hardening it costs money, especially against water ingress.

3. Cost. A $20 tech strapped to a $100 animal is a considerable percentage of your RoI. The margins are so low, it's just not worth doing this at scale.

The thing is, there is no tech solution that does cattle herding better than a farmer.
To me it reads like they infringed some software patents.
