Yes. Gold has both speculative value (you can sell it for more than you bought it for) and intrinsic value (you can use it for stuff). A bitcoin has speculative value only, as far as I can tell. Whether the same is true of crypto generally (including defi and daos and so forth) is open for discussion and one of the things being argued over in this thread.
> It feels this way until there is understanding that public space means that you are part of that public and public can be photographed by anyone interested to preserve the moment

I understand this and also disagree with it. It may be the way things are but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

> Some people feel uncomfortable and find it hard to respect basic freedom of other person for art expression

You are asking me to care more about people's artistic freedom than my own peace of mind. That is never going to happen.

> Such society is doomed to be oppressive and living in oppression could be much more uncomfortable

I don't see how asking for a good faith effort to ask permission to take or publish photos of an individual is trampling the ability of artists to express themselves.

When people photograph you, they can then do anything they want with that photo. They can delete it, or store it indefinitely, or post it online, turn it into a meme, whatever.

Forgive me if I don't think someone else should have that kind of control over something that could affect me deeply.
You're probably right, but nonetheless, the original commenter's point stands about the state having literal and legal responsibility for peoples children. It makes sense to be conservative in deciding what material to put in the school library.
If you're suggesting that human beings are "slaves" to the natural condition, yes. Work or starve has been the default state of humanity (and all forms of life on Earth) since the dawn of time. It's not "slavery" or "capitalism" or anything else, it's the default state of being.
That just makes it a stronger signal.
Oh, hey, what a celebrity. I'd like to use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to clearly state:

You suck.

Misses out on being able to simply store gold.

Being able to trade gold without technology.

I've never understood mitigate to mean a complete reduction of harm. In that case, you would use a word like "solved" or "fixed". "Mitigate" is used when the fixing is only partial.

> What's interesting is that both examples seem to use the term in a way that suggests that it does mean full-and-complete mitigation

I think that is for extra clarity. Both definitions say that mitigation is a partial effect "less severe" or "lessen the gravity of".
who said anything about success? If you are even suggesting poverty in America is the same as poverty in most of Asia, or Africa, I think you should shut the hell up and do some traveling. Same to the middle class. This guy is from South East Asia.
this is why I said "unconsciously", I'm asking them to reflect on whether or not they would have hired an equally-or-better qualified male for the same duties. or whether they went straight to "i'm gonna hire a housewife" without thinking about it as a specific choice.

if by some chance the original poster here is not a dude, it's a whole lot less sketchy in my opinion.
You have to avoid moral hazard. In a just world, Bob would get screwed because he took a risky bet. If you don't allow Bob to fail, you tell people they need to be more like Bob. Then you have a nation of Bobs and the game can never end.

We need to let risk takers fail. They gambled and lost. That should serve as a warning to other risk takers to better calculate their exposure.

In the case of Google, the NSA was reading their unencrypted replication traffic as it moved between data centers.

I don't see how Google could have been aware that this was happening, although they certainly could have known it was theoretically possible.
Mitigation as in hitting a wall at 180 mph instead of 200? Or hitting the wall in 32 years instead of 30?

Everything helps, but in the end the solution to the problem is elsewhere. Not tackling the problem and only going to partial mitigations is almost as bad as doing nothing, because it is just a delay to avoid solving the problem until is too late or doesn't matter anymore for you in particular.
It should be known as the "3-2-1 rule with knobs on" for that precise reason, not to mention several others. However, you need to start somewhere with a pithy pitch.

Veeam for example (other backup systems are available) have several "immutable offerings" whereby you get backups that can't be deleted for a while. These are not appliances but configuration recipes. One of them is a generic Linux box with XFS with reflinks, a particular set of file perms and what they call a one off credential (a sort of app password I think), forward incrementals and a few other things. Get it all in line then even if a baddy gets in they can't delete your backups for a while. This does require detection inside say a week. The reflinks thing is really useful for storage space and things like "synthetic fulls" where you roll up incrementals into the last full backup.

You can also use AWS etc object storage for immutable. In all of these things you can lengthen the timescales available by applying more cash.

For me: tape in a safe is the only decent way to protect against ransomware. Even then some tape hygiene is needed!
Project Panama should greatly improve the FFI & game dev situation greatly.
The Z-Machine was made for games, too. And the then new Inform6 game was basically literal OOP with rooms, objects and people, thus making an adventure can be done in really trivial ways.

If you read up Inform's Beginner Guide you'll get amazed of how the Inform6 library handles lots of stuff for you. Lots of verbs and objects types are already implemented, so you can set a game "room" for example in just four words split into two lines.

That seems like it has to be a gross misrepresentation, that only 2% of oxygen comes from other land plants.

This link, https://www.factcheck.org/2019/09/amazon-doesnt-produce-20-o... , seems like it has more reasonable numbers. First, it's a bit misleading to talk about what produces "oxygen in the atmosphere", because that oxygen was generated over many millions of years. Better to discuss what current percentage of photosynthesis occurs from which sources.

The link I gave says a quarter to a third of photosynthesis on land comes from tropical forests, and land vs. marine photosynthesis is split about 50/50.
I'd love to see a 2019-2021 salary change by height study. Or Zoom interview vs in person interview acceptance rate by height. Did short people benefit more compared to tall people given the remote work+hiring situation?
I want to plug a friend's company that she bootstrapped: https://www.chatterboss.com/. They offer remote executive assistants on demand. There is no commitment. You pay for the hours they work for you.

They care very deeply about the personality match between you and your assistants. On top of that, they strongly believe in documentation and a cover system so you'll always have coverage even if your primary assistant is unavailable.

They specialize in supporting entrepreneurs. They are a small company so every client is valued and given a personal touch.
Advanced?? Developed countries you mean?
So they need more booster shots it seems. This really might be a yearly two jab occurrence for many people in many countries if they want the vaccine pass.

From the article:

The team said that the main factors that would drive an increase in the infection rate are waning immunity levels and delays in the distribution of another booster shot.
They'll be perfectly happy with that solution because they don't have to stop burning coal and it's funded by small fish taxpayers.

I loved this article. I am almost in complete agreement.

Reading the comments here is very worrying. So little understanding of simple economic ideas, like what a Ponzi scheme is.

Truly amazed that people think that Bitcoin is comparable to gold. I am not a fan of gold as an investment, they have that in common. But nothing else.

Let me paraphrase your own quote:

”Please stop posting these long-winded [hate] essays every couple days. It would be one thing if this was [Reddit], but the slimyness and dishonesty here is yet another brick in the wall of non-fungible sketchiness.”

A reminder to you that it is against Hacker News rules to do any ideological warfare, “trolling”, or bad-faith commentary.

And another blog post entirely based on misrepresenting what somebody said.

Tim Sweeney doesn't want a unique app store, he wants customers to be able to purchase their apps across all platforms using a single app store.
HN has less humor, and the top-voted comment on any given story is usually a contrarian take.
Amazing you could hot-swap it even back then. I guess being able to change single rows when new stations get added and other things was a must.
Yes, it has to be injective from the real world to the file format. It doesn't have to be bijective.

> As soon as you manipulate values of your image in your color space, you run the risk of falling outside the color domain.

If your manipulation could go outside the domain, then your manipulation is incorrect. Like, if I have a number from 0 to 99 that I store in a byte, it's fine that a byte is not bijective to those numbers, and if I end up with a byte representing 105, then I did something wrong that corrupted my byte.

If I'm doing incorrect math, a bijective color space doesn't fix the problem, it just guarantees that I get an incorrect color out the other end instead of possibly getting an incorrect color or possibly getting an error value.
An interesting note is that small business couples, where the man runs the trade-end of things (physician, skilled trades, etc.), and the woman runs the "managerial"-end (billing, paperwork, etc.) seem to be the most stable of couples.

In matters of money, there are less secrets/unexpected swings; and you both have to be invested in the success of the business, ergo one's livelihood and goal-achievement-vehicle (e.g. for vacations, new cars and appliances, better house, etc.).

Plus, if you cannot tolerate one another and cannot work well together, then you'll know soon enough that perhaps the two of you are not compatible in a partnership (and really, that's all a marriage is if you work for a living -- a partnership to help you both reach your goals).

An added bonus, is that it breads closeness, rather than only seeing your significant other for a few hours every night/morning, and the weekends.

Massive financial/power imbalance? Very. Are both people getting what they want from the arrangement? I would imagine so. The ones that weren't have left/had everything crash and burn, or are on their way.
I don't think that's so bad unless you need that ownership to build wealth. In this country, it seems a lot of our wealth was built up via land ownership. Contrast the US, which encouraged wider land ownership, with Mexico which granted land to a wealthy few and excluded the lower classes.

If we can come up with a consistent policy scheme(taxation and incentives) which can undo land ownership as being a sure-fire way to build wealth(maybe a land value tax?) then it's perhaps not so bad to have a nation of renters.
Evidence from the other half of the population suggests they are correct.

Mandatory leave is probably going to be deemed too heavy handed, but much more non-transferable use-it-or-lose-it time off should be available so that people feel inclined to use at least some of it.
> We know it doesn't work because it requires printing money or raising the burden on today's youth unfairly.

Debt financing is how we got out of the great depression and just about every major economic crisis since. Where would the markets be without government intervention in 2008? Where would the markets be now without QE? If "printing money" and "raising the burden on today's youth unfairly" are systematic failures, then it seems that American capitalism has been a sham for a long time.
Yes, I've always thought so (reasons below).

What I'm sure of, though, is that this article is: Anything that contains the phrase "one of my personal epistemic precepts" must be.

Reasons why I think "Crypto" (as in cryptocurrencies) is bullshit:

1) These things don't work in any sense like actual currencies, so calling them that is inherently bullshit.

2) Their adherents have an evangelical fervour like rabid religious fundamentalists.

3) Above all, any technology based on wasting work / energy just to prove one has wasted work / energy is repellently ugly, bad, and wrong.
Such an overblown and baseless talking point. The USA has never been in a stronger position. Literally just printed 40% more money than has ever been created and the demand for her bonds is insatiable.

I’m happy for China and Chinese people having a better quality of life. But their economy is based on humans doing things inexpensive. It’s essentially a services business, not a SaaS business. It doesn’t scale well but they have so many poor people to exploit that they can make a thing of it.

When the seriously export culture, novel technology, or medicines then sure. When they aren’t a net importer of food then sure. But the yuan is not a serious threat to usd. It’s pegged to it.
Nothing happened to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg when he took parental leave during the largest supply chain bottlenecks in the ports and trucker shortage in recent memory. The newspaper’s didn’t even mention it. In fact his Joe Biden had to personally intervene and do Pete’s job. Pete can be an inspiration for the dads who are afraid to take a leave, even in the midst of a storm, and shows there is no career penalty to it.

WTF. Why on earth you would do this (and deal with all IO and peripherals being reset) while you can just reconfigure RESET as normal GPIO? This makes SPI programming impossible but if you are using bootloader then it doesn't matter anyway.
I think this is a fair concern. I agree that the ML approaches can cause explainability and traceability issues but not all of them. We also support ML approaches like decision trees which can be considered more "debuggable". However you might not be able to solve every single problem with decision trees just because it is "debuggable". Besides, there are a lot of researchers are working on ML explainability. Our vision is simply building self-adaptive tuning systems which may not require constant development efforts to optimize OS and storage components for ever-changing workloads and new devices. You can find more discussion about this topic in the paper too.

because the KSA hack was supposedly an iMessage zero door? And others allegedly don't even need to be clicked/opened.

Also imagine another bug that allows someone to spoof the 'from' or hell even send a message that looks similar, basic phishing.

Like: This is apple. Click this link to secure your account you are being hacked (literally). Seems like a bad precedent. But I guess there isn't a great way to securely communicate. Maybe just say google the official apple 1800 number and enter this secret number pad code.
This is exactly the kind of book on cryptography I need.
The book uses math & pseudocode to describe algorithms instead of using popular languages like Python or C/C++.

This makes it language agnostic. Code can be very opinionated in my opinion.
The methods of detecting such attacks are not at all similar to a government requesting data which contains the non disclosure clause.

Apple doesn’t need to know the source of the attack to issue the warning, and if the attacker is competent Apple likely wouldn’t know the source, such that a gag would not apply.
I'm pretty sure Sweeney is referring to an app store that supports multiple platforms instead of the current platform specific app stores.

And what does that say about society? If all of the companies in FAANG were to suddenly disappear, I think society would be better for it*.

Sure, people "depend" on FB for comms etc blah blah, but the world functioned fine before them if not maybe slightly less convenient. Netflix, come on. It's just entertainment. Nothing more. Google? Maybe search could be built to work again. Amazon? Maybe people actually buy local again. Apple? So we don't have luxury devices that cost more than some people make in a year.

*Obviously excluding the sudden loss of jobs. It's just a thought exercise.
> small business couples

so in my opinion two people in a romantic relationship that also own/run their business together is a completely different thing than what the 'helsinki' poster described, unless their paid assistant they found on craigslist also has other, uhhh.... duties
If you think serfs did not know how destitute they were because they were "illiterate and uneducated", then you have a far too rosy view of history.

If you were in their shoes, you would have clearly known how desperately poor you were. You knew because they lived in a hovel and can only heat it when it gets super cold. You knew because you saw a child starve to death after a bad harvest because you don't have any money to buy food for them. You knew because you only have a few sets of crappy clothing and holes in your shoes but can't afford to buy new ones. You knew because your mother died from a painful illness dies because you can't afford the medication.

You knew because, despite being a serf, despite being uneducated, you are not a complete moron.
Yeah people would find another way to invent it. Like MLM pyramid schemes. The issue is the bank doesn't borrow money I have. Banks borrow money I have and money I don't have. Yet who is taking the risk? If something fails government will bail them out with money I no longer have as it was taken from me by taxation long before I deposited it into bank.

But government runs the same scam because they also don't have enough money to lend so they borrow money from another bank, namely FED. This bank also doesn't have the money so they start up the printers and act like government owns them.

The government debt is so high that if you sum up all the debt government owes and add what government promised (social security etc.) you will find out it pays so much in interest that it's basically bankrupt.

Somehow we ended in system where no one has money, everyone owes each other and we all act like it's okay.

We all know this will implode and the longer we wait the worse it will be.
People equating street photography with surveillance are missing a crucial difference between the two which pertains to what happens to the media after it has been recorded.

Street photography exists for the purpose of displaying such photos to the public later on. Surveillance footage need not be seen until deemed necessary, which may or may not ever happen.

I have no opinion on this either way, but thought that was important to point out.
GovTech's SingPass has horrendous UX too: they refuse to allow the toggling of password visibility — which is pretty important when designing for accessibility, because the elderly sometimes have trouble entering their password, because it'll fail some security audit.
> I consider the human eye a camera. It also saves videos in a storage medium that doesn't permit deletion

The key distinction is that the human eye and its storage system doesn't meaningfully support duplication and distribution of the picture.

What someone saw is not going to show up in Clearview's biometric surveillance database years later, and while this one human may remember me, the inherent limitations of humans mean that the impact is vastly different from what is possible with technology.
That'd be the actual trees themselves.
isnt there soft power of some sort in this though?
Makes sense. Hopefully your comment was beneficial for them.
100% of government printing money should be.
"Just plant trees" won't remove the need to stop the burning of coal either. Nothing short of changing out the fuel sources for the vast majority of human energy demands for zero-carbon versions will suffice.
How does one choose a tape drive? I see wild variation on tape drives and no idea on why that is.

If the devices are not too large or ridiculously expensive, than it definitely makes sense to use tape as backup. Hard disks are convenient but fail at inopportune times.

The Intel Mac Minis don't have soldered RAM, it can be upgraded, though it is deep inside the device. The M1 Macs have soldered RAM and SSD, but here there is a clear technical tradeoff giving much better performance.

Asahi Linux contains device drivers for the M1 Macs, quite a bit of their work has been accepted to the Linux kernel already. GPU drivers are pretty close too.

Apple does explicitly allow other OSes to run on their hardware, they explicitly enabled that.
And forced to sign a paper in an idiom that they didn't understood to be released, it seems.

But the "we aren't interested in the event anymore" said by their bosses is very explanatory. There will be monetary consequences if the chains refuse to broadcast it or choose to put it in a worse hour. I bet that the offended channels are evaluating seriously this at this moment.
It's not. You can backup ransomwared files all the same.
