> Again, that's not what a scam is and it has nothing to do with the 'end' of silicon valley.

The free market has rules in place to punish fraudsters and promoters.

But because tesla is seen as "green" all those things are on hold for Musk.

Much like they were on hold for Holmes who was the golden girl who'd revolutionize our health.

> Again, that's not what a scam is and it has nothing to do with the 'end' of silicon valley.

Both Holmes and Musk would have never been funded on the East Coast.

They'd have been advised to check into a clinic to get rid of their drug habits, go to therapy to solve their personal issues and maybe they'd have gotten a 25k investment.
I mean, if the worry is that the government disappeared her, the police would at best not be much help and at worst be the ones who kidnapped her in the first place. The police saying it wasn't reported doesn't necessarily mean that's true, and even if it is, it doesn't necessarily mean much.
News: We also use cash now

Also "they are in fact functional (at least to some degree)" isn't a better argument.
Yes, grep + debugger / pry were how I solved this when I was still writing lots of Ruby. I find it much more productive to be able to get these answers statically, but I was too strong when I said "impossible"; there's always some way to find the right code, or the VM wouldn't be able to run it :)
NFTs provide proof of ownership of something unique, not enforcment. You are still free to put any jpeg you want on any profile pic you want. Like you can reproduce and hang a multi million dollar painting on your wall without enforcement but that provides no proof you own the original thing.

I do not get the argument that an algorithm for decentralized proof of ownership of an unique token has any moral attribution to it. If anything it enables a future where content creators can get income for their content without the ad industry (youtube, major labels, facebook etc) getting any cut. And that could lead to the erosion of IP laws all together.

We are already seeing experiments with distribution of royalties implemented with NFT smart contracts of today and the tech is still in it's infancy both in implementation and applications.

The reality is that good content, be it art or media, needs revenue for the content creators to produce content. Currently their options are limited to censoring themselves in the name of profit because profits are gatekeeped by the ad industry via the monopolies of google facebook and amazon.

A future where digital economies are decentralized and self sufficient, where anyone can publish and make royalties via the uniqueness of holding the "original" work of content and all future developments in this space is a future I look forward to.
> That's not the bridge too far. It's not about the JPEG, it's about the bullshit shoehorning of 'ownership' around infinitely-copyable bits put in place by a culture that seems to care more about ownership than equality.

> Digital economies are a land of plenty, where nobody can own anything and bits copy themselves freely. NFTs shoehorn a scarcity economy on top of that, which suits those with no concept of the reality of the digital world. NFTs and DRM have no place in cyberspace, yet here they are.

Wait, I'm confused. In the first part you mock the idea that NFTs amount of 'ownership' since its infinetely copyable. but the next sentence you bemoan how NFTs are introducing artificial scarcity and are like DRM.
> Having another study, even a self reported one like this, doesn't degrade the scientific body of knowledge, it adds to it.

I really don't see how it's valuable. I don't even believe my friends when they talk about how much micro-dosing benefits them (and this is coming from someone who is a huge supporter of psychedelics). People are really good at making themselves believe what they want to believe.
> Your minimum cable outlay back then would still cover the cost of a couple streaming services.

It would not cover a typical US internet bill with speeds to support streaming, plus a couple streaming services.
Recent Damien Hurst piece was a coke machine in the corner of a gallery that dispensed cans of coke with his signature on. Obviously a lot of easy criticisms there but still considered a collectible by some.
Well put. Totally my view of it.
New Electric Propulsion Engine for Spacecraft Test-Fired in Orbit for First Time
I think that's pretty unlikely for something made this year. YoutubeTV and other Cable co's should be pretty similar in that regard. Buying the music for availability on "cable cable" and "CBS's own app" but not "streaming cable" would be baffling.
It's possible to think both are bad, but if we're comparing them, NFTs are exponentially worse than game items because:

1. game items don't generally imply worth will appreciate/speculation, while NFTs do

2. crypto consumes the electricity of a mid-sized country
They do exist, check out for “compact electrolyser”. It’s not yet commercially viable for an on-grid home systems, while off-grid installations makes pure sense. This should change dramatically when electrolyser mass production factories are operating (there are at least several such projects across the globe).
Those can really whack you when conditions are humid. There is a pretty funny - and very obvious - dumb thing that almost every male that lives in a rural area seems to have to experience all by themselves at least once during their young lives. You don't quite realize how dumb you can be until that happens and then afterwards you will have a much more accurate idea of where you are on the intelligence scale.
Infinitely more, in fact.
Why would you buy an expensive card that doesn't allow AP mode on anything ac or ax?

I'll be trying realtek 8822ce and 8852ae based pcie cards, using mainline Linux rtw88/89 drivers.

Qualcomm based cards are also quite common in high end wifi routers. But they are pricey.
The question is, will the cryptoheads accept living by their 'freedom' rules or will they recreate coercitive means of securing assets (with their own memetic flave of course).
people pay huge markups for traditionally styled 4x4s

i can't understand why only jeep (and now Ford, with the broco) seem interested in addressing this market

toyota, in particular, with what they have done to their landcruiser lineage, has baffled me (yes, the 70 series, but i'm in the states)
> a random missing episode seems like a weird problem, would love to know what was going on

In almost every case like that, the answer is "we can't figure out if this is licensed for streaming because it didn't exist yet". Usually it's music, which they licensed for "broadcast and video cassette release" or some similar language. In most cases they've decided DVD is close enough to VHS to still count, but is streaming? Courts haven't really decided yet.
Iodine? Keep it cold and it stays solid. But it doesn’t liquify; it is one of the elements that can sublimate from solid to gas (not sure of the physical chem here, but the transition temp to liquid vs gas from solid is so close that it doesn’t have a distinct liquid phase(?)).

So I’m imagining a solid block of iodine (it is in cold space), and when the engine needs thrust, some current from the solar cells is passed through a heating element to drive sublimation + lots of complex rocket science that I do not know of.

If you are referring to the noble gases, I don’t think they are cooled to the point of solids; just high pressure liquids..
if feature_enabled("new neat thing") {
doNewNeatThing()
}

In principle that's it. How exactly it decides true vs false can be as complex as needed - hardcoded, config files, fully dynamic, etc. It's defined more by the use than by what it is / how it works.

E.g. a number of teams I've seen use them to dogfood their team's features (e.g. via user ID) for a brief period as a final check before wider release (which is also rolled out by that feature flag in %-batches or other criteria). It also gives you an easy dynamic "off" switch if something isn't working out or is causing errors.

Server-side that may or may not be particularly useful, but in apps with week-long review delays it can be the difference between "a brief burst of issues for a few people" and "our app is totally broken for a week, customers are ANGRY".

Star Trek new season got canceled just recently, because Paramount pulled it off Netflix. It was due to start coming days. Now people have ti wait until 2022 and get the then available paramount subscription on top of Netflix, Disney, and A+.

Who is willing to do that? I bet many people will opt for illegal downloads again.
Have you seen anyone talk about “right-clicker mentality”? There are a ton of people who are surprised that NFTs have no claim on ownership or access restriction because everyone's talking about it as if they're something other than a vanity URL.
You'd still want an agent even on a soap opera job, just so you'd have someone to handle negotiations when it's time to re-up on the contract.

Hollywood agents are really more deal makers than job finders. You still do most of the work finding your next job, they do the work of negotiating the deal.
It is $3 to instantly watch it as long as Apple decides to keep serving it and/or does not ban you from their services.

Presumably, if you subscribe to Paramount+, then you can also watch it as long as you are paying the monthly fee.

My point is I got to the media I was looking for rather quick. I would never spend my time watching Survivor for free, much less pay for it, but my opinion of the experience of trying to watch it was quick and easy.
If the government isn't lying, then there's no reason for any reporter to be worried, right? Is the fact that no reporter is doing this essentially proof that the government is lying?

Set aside the reporter question - surely she has some colleagues, friends, and family for whom it would not be unexpected for them to stop by?
Willing to bet places that currently don't have the infrastructure to connect to a blockchain reliably also don't have functional legal systems to enforce ownership of physical assets / property.
I’m disappointed they didn’t include one for UFOs. I thought they might since they had other jokes in the flowchart.
> one cannot conduct a chargeback in a transaction using cash where sales are final.

You absolutely can, that's the entire point of receipts. If the seller refuses, that's where trade law comes into play and you can sue.

This of course, isn't a great comparison because in the modern day cash is almost never used for anything other than small transactions (or by the uber paranoid). To even be close to the same you'd have to compare it to putting cash into an envelope and mailing it. Not exactly a common practice.
Microsoft is working on a project to formalize various parts of the web stack and it would be interesting if their work also carried over to the lower parts of the networking stack like in this article. [1] I suspect this bug would have been caught if the segment handling logic was implemented in a language with a formal specification for the segment headers.

Is cloudflare working on any formalization efforts like Microsoft's Project Everest?

>Or even better, create a law that outlaws being distracted by anything while driving, requiring drivers to stop if they are distracted.

Exactly! Why are companies allowed to put up those digital billboards, which are appearing everywhere in cities at the moment? When they are literally designed to distract drivers.

One particularly notable one near where I live spans busy 4-lane junction. Because what drivers negotiating that junction really need to aid their concentration is to have ginormous screen displaying a sexy model in his or her underwear emblazoned right across the highway.

Another one near me is close to a rugby club and plays video clips of the team in action. Again, no other purpose than to grab the attention of passing motorists. Why are these not banned also?
Ask HN: I purchased a domain and now the registry wants to take it back
I purchased a very nice .io domain 2 days ago and I received an email from my registar today saying there was a bug in the registry and that the domain should not have been available so they are going to cancel my registration.

Right now I own the domain. What can I do? Is it okay for registries to do this? Does it happen often?

Thanks!
Speculation and money laundering. NFTs are perfect for the latter.
Basically the question is: who do you want to rely on/trust more, encryption or the justice system?

You can obviously copy the JPG of any NFT; but you can also copy the full NFT blockchain and attribute any token of any JPGs to you.

Who determine which blockchain is the "legitimate" one?
The latter only works if Twitter stops you uploading any old image. Hence trying to find some way to differentiate regular profile pictures from NFT profiles. But the latter still only works if the general population of Twitter thinks it’s cool. Otherwise you’re marking yourself out as a rube. Whereas skins and other DLC are broadly accepted in games if only from the perspective that most people don’t care what skin you use. That and most games with DLC charge a fixed rate and offer it to everyone rather than making individual items scare.
Thepiratebay and a good VPN should solve a lot of your problems.
> Because biology plays no role in human psychology; we're the only species in the animal kingdom to come into this world with no pre-programming and absolutely everything that we do is the result of cultural conditioning.

I suspect when these people finally cede on biological differences between the genders, they will just argue that these biological differences themselves are a product of our sinful and fallen world. Don't underestimate the incredible portability of these folks' goalposts.
> How are intellectual pursuits different from sports pursuits, especially when it's one specific intellectual pursuit? And again, you make the jump from "white people are better at programming than black people" to "white people are more intelligent than black people".

Can you name a reason that two populations that only differ in racial category would differ on average in programming capability that isn't rooted in mutable things like culture, socioeconomic status etc? You're aggressively missing my point.

> Again, I don't understand why you're defending the idea that if there are immutable differences between people, one group must dominate the other.

The fuck are you talking about? Point to a single thing I said that defends racial dominance (you can't). Correct me if I'm wrong but you appear to be taking the position that white people /are/ innately more intelligent than black people but we should ignore that. My position is that they aren't, and even if they were we still shouldn't dominate others.

Every other argument you've trotted out here are essentialist about intelligence, that some races and some classes are more intelligent than others. That's a pretty reactionary position, and I don't think it's one you can be argued out of because it is axiomatic rather than empirical.
While it seems nitpicky to point out, the updated document does not use the term "objective truth". Nor "objective" nor "truth."

It does use the term "objectivity." As you likely know, page 5 stresses:

> The terms used in the engagement section of this resource are ideas presented in the dismantling Racism workbook (2016) notebook, grounded on the work of Jones and Okun (2001). It is important to read this article first to fully understand the terms that are identified as characteristics of white supremacy culture in organizations. We contextualize these ideas into the math classroom to make visible how white supremacy culture plays out in these spaces.

It then lists "Objectivity" as one of the "terms used to identify white supremacy characteristics as defined by Jones and Okun."

I know nothing about their research, much less their definition, and am not able to comment meaningfully on if it can even be applied to the concept "objective truth".

What I do know is that most of the pop culture derision of this paper, including some comments here on HN, are not based on actually reading the paper but on cherry-picked quotes.

> We know that’s not true on a global scale

I do not know what your statement means, much less understand how you know that.

It's clearly concerning the US. I don't think it's meaningful to extrapolate it to the rest of the world. (Is white supremacy as characterized by Jones and Okun an issue in every country? I find that hard to believe.)

> Do we have common ground in saying that the objective of this dialogue is to improve math education so that pupils of any background have the skills to participate in a problem-solving job interview?

Not at all. I don't believe schools should be viewed as producing products to be consumed by employers.

They also produce citizens, who likely need some math fluency in order to understand certain issues (to say nothing of biology and other fields).

And they produce self-employed people who never have a job interview. (I don't think Bill Gates ever had a job interview.)

And "problem-solving jobs" is such a wide-ranging topic that it would include preschool educator, commercial fisher, and bike mechanic - fields which I don't think require much math education.

True, the edge case of "I want TV but not internet" users are not in a great place to access streaming content. They still have all their existing cable content, though, at least? And in 2001, good chance they were already paying for internet back then too.

I don't think it's realistic to assume "no internet" is a standard default these days, though, regardless of if/how you watch TV.
The best design I have seen in years is the Polestar 1.

I wish they'd ditch the EV thing, put a 300hp motor in the front and find a price point around 40k.

They'd sell a whole lot of them

In CCP land you don't report to the police crimes of top CCP officials. I'm sure they won't comment, but it's a major scandal involving the "vice president" equivalent in the CCP, I think any other administration anywhere would comment.
I actually thought about this exact thing before I wrote my comment. What you forget is this is an adversarial situation you're dealing with. If it really mattered, nobody would leave it to a coin toss as to which way the staircases have to be. Much like in sports, every little edge counts. Yeah, it isn't chance that 70% of them are CW, but it also doesn't make sense that it's only 70%.

The proper comparison is not a 50% cointoss, which is how you might think about some elections, it's a 100% world where every castle maker would tell their apprentices about this important CW swordfighting idea, and people who forget this are castigated for building an obvious weakness into their design.

The only reason it would be somewhat lopsided, but not decisively, is if there was some mild reason why people preferred one over the other, which is what your numbers actually suggest. Something like the "easier to walk down" hypothesis might make sense here, where for instance the CCW staircases are accounted for by aesthetic considerations like symmetry.
The missing piece is that the coldness of the atoms isn't a random stat. It's an incredibly important feature of this research field. The density in the context of a quantum gas is what's interesting
> Let's make it a felony to have any private contact between companies and legislators then

Don't know if it's a felony to violate. But this sounds consistent with the Ethics in Government Act of 1978's reporting requirements [1].

> All communication must be publicly available

This is a bad idea. It privileges those with physical access to lawmakers. It will also crowd out a good amount of honest communication in favor of theatre for public consumption.

That said, there might be a way to thread the needle such that substantial communications around actual legislation get captured. Mark-ups on drafts, suggested language, official policy memos, et cetera.

Base model sporty cars I think would be a great fit here if you're looking for new. The manufacturer understands that those looking for performance typically shy away from expensive gadgets. For example my 2018 brand new ford focus st had a 4" display for the backup cam and that was literally it.
Manual transmission, full suite of buttons for controls etc etc

Base model mustang ecoboost is similar, you have to pay more to get the larger infotainment option but otherwise everything is manual including the hvac: https://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/models/ecoboost-fastback/
I assume the same would be true for the Camaro and Challenger

I would stay away from anything luxury. Family Haulers and Base model trucks are typically low-tech as well.

Have you read some of the stuff written by Bitcoin believers like MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor?

It is genuinely Scientology-level in its open defiance of physics wrapped into scientific-sounding jargon. Bitcoin is a form of energy storage, it's a new form of energy, etc.

That's why this case is weird: it's a brand new episode. And it is in the CBS streaming app. Just missing from YouTube's cable product.
Okay, then that vacuous point is correct as well. A bank account is just a 9-ish digit number. So in that regard it's similar to a bitcoin wallet. What the person who started this convo was saying is that his friend thought the bitcoin wallet contained the bitcoins, in the exact same way that a regular wallet contains regular paper currency. That the bitcoin wallet would grow in file size based on the amount of bitcoin inside it. All pedantic misinterpretations aside, I'm pretty confident that's what he was trying to convey.
The same people who benefit from this relationship need to pass the laws that kill the goose. Maybe you think there are enough honest politicians to pull it off. I've been been around long enough to have been disabused of that notion.
If you don't consider black markets a feasible use case you're cherrypicking.
> Maybe, but even if just a few don't pay, they will do other things

You're joking. There are already many who don't pay, payment rates could fall by 90% and it wouldn't slow them down a bit. You clearly have no idea how hugely profitable ransomware is.

If less companies pay, the ransomware operations will just scale up their customer support teams and further automate deployment. This really isn't going to be a problem for them.

> Maybe formal proofs of all code? There are a lot of things that companies who aren't going to pay will start demanding of their vendors who they will pay.

Haha. Funny. Have you ever worked with formal proofs in a software context?
