web1 – the original web, decentralized information sharing but everyone is hosting their own stuff

web2 – make it easier for people to create stuff, but it's all centralized (boo), which in turn makes the interop of the original web much less present. i.e. gatekeepers everywhere

web3 – allow the unfettered creativity of web2 with the benefits of decentralizing in web1. You can use one "account" to login to any web3 service, people can send money to that same account, etc, etc.

In other words, web3 allows you to do things that weren't present in web1 at all without all the web2 centralization/gatekeeping baggage.
Something similar happened to No Man's Sky. After a specific update, all planets became very similar regarding their topology. It became boring :(
You're the one who needs spending more time understanding it, as you obviously have no clue.

If what you said was true then life itself couldn't exist.
On Wednesday night, someone drained funds from multiple cryptocurrency wallets connected to the decentralized finance platform BadgerDAO. According to the blockchain security and data analytics Peckshield, which is working with Badger to investigate the heist, the various tokens stolen in the attack are worth about $120 million.
While the investigation is still ongoing, members of the Badger team have told users that they believe the issue came from someone inserting a malicious script in the UI of their website. For any users who interacted with the site when the script was active, it would intercept Web3 transactions and insert a request to transfer the victim’s tokens to the attacker’s chosen address.
Who said "liberal" or "better code"? It's about White Supremacy and Racism and Sexism and Homophobia and Transphobia.

Those articles simply quoted his own words, and Wikipedia doesn't declare whether he's liberal or conservative, or a good or bad coder.

You're the one who's revealing their assumption that White Supremacists and Racists and Sexists and Homophobes and Transphobes are usually right wing, not liberal.

Unfortunately you're correct and totally justified in that assumption, of course, but that's beside the point, and not what the article said.

Nobody said anything about liberals or conservatives, or writing worse or better code, either.

And if he was "just joking", then Popehat's Rule of Goats applies:

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Popehat%27s%...

>Popehat's Law of Goats

>He who fucks goats, either as part of a performance or to troll those he deems has overly delicate sensibilities is simply, a goatfucker.

>He claimed he was just pretending to be racist to trigger the social justice warriors, but even if he is telling the truth, Popehat's Law of Goats still applies.
Well, it's not really proof of address either because it's so easy to forge, which was OP's main point.
Love zsh + OhMyZsh. But one thing I repeatedly wish it had but maybe I just need to read the manual: when I type the start of a command, says “python”, I want to search for a previous command that starts with “python” and contains the string “data2134”. I tried Ctl-R but that doesn’t seem to be it.
I hope that people are familiar enough with the inventor - or probably read the fine article - to get this.
Note to people reading these comments: HN Is notoriously anti-bitcoin and crypto. It was within hacker news discussions that I first heard about bitcoin, back when it was trading for less than one dollar. I did not buy bitcoin because I figured the hacker news crowd was very intelligent and knew a scam when they saw one. Just Keep this in mind when reading these comments make sure you take them with a grain of salt.
If you already know the background knowledge, the Reddit comment’s key point is:

There’s a 748-state Turing machine that (is isomorphic to a program that) grinds out all the provable theorems of ZFC and halts if it proves contradictory theorems.

Calculating BB(748) under ZFC requires proving that this program never halts, which would double as a proof of ZFC’s — and therefore its own — consistency. By Gödel’s Incompleteness, you can’t do that (as a system can’t prove it’s own consistency).
Regarding the title, "Stalking Campaign" isn't really a strong enough term. "Terror Campaign" seems more appropriate.
That sounds great if it lowered costs, but it takes gas to run services on blockchains - it’s still “someone else’s computer” that has to be incentivized to do work, whether that’s executing a smart contract or paying to pin files on IPFS.

IMO there’s room for small benevolent communities where people choose to share in the cost of infrastructure (e.g. hosting seedboxes in torrenting communities where you are expected to keep your up/down ratio even) but expecting users to run full nodes is a tall order, computation and bandwidth-wise you’re offloading costs to your users. I always thought something like wikipedia could work like this since there’s thousands of committed super-users that could afford to run a background process, and indeed there’s IPFS mirrors of it, but IIRC the edits still happen on jimmy wales’ computer.
Ahh, i feel like this is probably the case for most of the corporation backed software out there - apparently offering just support isn't always a viable strategy to remain in business, so many out there lock bits of more advanced functionality behind pay walls: like many of the features of GitLab (https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/gitlab-com/feature-comparis...) and something like Artifactory (https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/JFROG/Artifactory+C...)

I'm not sure whether that's a bad thing, though, since the alternative would be having no free plans/editions for those pieces of software at all, or maybe just using them for a few years and the company going bankrupt.
It wasn't designed for a powerful federal government. The federal government was meant to be stronger than it was under the original articles of confederation, but didn't gain much of its current scope until the 20th century.
Does not apply here. Goodenough is not holding back advances under the pretense of "can't be done". In fact, since maybe the time of the Manhattan Project, I'm hard pressed to think of a prominent scientist or physicist who has.
This isn’t consistent with the “priced in” position put forward by the original commenter. An asset class that is going to be fixed in quantity for the rest of time is an obvious target for pricing-in.
Salaried staff in the UK may be considered to be employed 24/7, even if normal contractual hours are 9-5; i.e. you're not supposed to take a second job. Of course, a hobby isn't a second job, but that argument might not wash at a tribunal.

It's best if you get your employer to recognise that your open-source work benefits them, so they explicitly agree that your FOSS work is part of "the course of your employment", even if you are forbidden to do it during office hours.

This definitely needs to be clear in your contract; if it's not clear, the confusion is likely to be resolved to the employer's benefit.
Masters of Doom mentions how some of the early design was based around a D&D campaign Carmack made and they all played. The modern game Amid Evil really struck me as what Quake could have been without its design compromises due to technical limitations and "rush" (more like, they couldn't believe it was taking so long, it turned things toxic, they needed to get it out and be done). AE really nails the swords&sorcery-style fantasy elements whereas Quake only really hints at them (though the more contemporary Hexen series did them a lot better too).
That might work if just one project from each maintainers portfolio was shifted.
I think USB-C solved some problems (no need to keep numerous different cables) but created another one - everything is now USB-C, and you can easily fry your things. My case: I lost the charger for T480 and purchased another one, not original from Lenovo, but something cheaper. I thought: the same specs, why should I pay 2-3x more. After two charges and a third attempted one, white smoke and smell of burned component. Motherboard replacement cost me almost 10x more of that original Lenovo charger.

After this, I don't touch third-party USB-C cables unless they charge something I don't care about.
But in this case, while the image is "Arkadii Ivanov created MVIKotlin/Decompose while working at Badoo/Bumble"...

The full story is that Badoo/Bumble had already been working on badoo/MVICore and badoo/RIBs, with other employees working on those products full-time.
I thought his surname was goodenough.
Git is extended by adding `git-$commandname` executables to $PATH. So `git-x` would extend git with a new command called `x`, i.e. `git x`.
Believe it or not, this actually works: bring your attorney with you to the interview, and accept no interview less than product lead. Basically, it's an arms race currently using guns, and the majority of the dumb ass developers show up with knives.
IMO the worst among the things Microsoft is doing to Minecraft is introducing an in-game currency (to an already paid game!).

They target Bedrock for this, and I strongly suspect once it starts bringing in extra money they will essentially kill further Java edition development.
>Where did I go wrong.

You continue to keep claiming Apple paid millions to the technicians who uploaded someone's nude photos to Facebook.

Both the Telegraph and Verge articles state Apple paid millions to the woman whose photos were uploaded to Facebook.
Eh that sounds kind of forced.

Web always had value exchange from the beginning - in fact a big part of the largest companies we have today were built around that value.

In fact I was naive enough to think the web would eventually become more free of that "need" for value exchange (like processing power and network speeds would be enough for everyone to have their own "node" to host and share what ever they wanted), but the endgame o web3 seems to be to have micro transactions everywhere.
You've gone full circle and reinvented HashCash, the algorithmic predecessor to Bitcoin :)

Just because you can earn money on something, does not make it good.
We migrated to TypeScript and why we didn’t do it earlier
Didn't you all do code reviews, project planning, etc.? These are all ways to get other devs involved and knowledgeable without explicit "you are now the owner".
Cool. The next question then is that if devices can tell other devices what they are capable of, and the cables can tell devices what they are capable of, could one build a portable, consumer priced, tester that (1) you can plug into a USB-C port and the tester would tell you what that port supports, and (2) you can plug a cable into the tester and it tells you what the cable supports?
You are experiencing what the article describe. What if you add this common scenario to your system? i.e. Making this manual override normal to the system, starting to dim with a new calc a bit faster or shifting the final dim time (based on user pref)
Well, in this case, you are wrong ;-)
"First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you." Recently it feels like the general sentiment toward Web3 has been moving from the ridicule phase to the attack phase. Then finally comes the acceptance. In my view, the entire Web3 movement (not just the speculative virtual currencies and NFTs) is so big and covers so many new areas that it's here to stay forever. It's going to fundamentally change the way that people work together all around the world. In the coming decades there will be huge inventions around Web3 that we have no way to predict yet.
Study: Going to the movies at a crossroad in the US [pdf]
Tokens are neither deflationary nor inflationary. The idea that an asset is deflationary or inflationary implies that the supply of the asset determines its price. This is incorrect from a theoretical standpoint, as well as from what empirical evidence tells us. It's a misapplication of the Quantity Theory of Money. QTM is a theory of money, it doesn't apply to stocks, tokens, assets in general, or in situations where there are competing currencies.
Is It Time to Invade Burma?
I think that bitcoin is actually a good solution to the double spending problem in decentralized currencies.
No, they don’t. The root server owners (who are mostly universities and research groups, last time I checked) have no formal ownership over the DNS network. They cannot seize or stop any participant in the network, including your scummy local ISP.

Confusing the TLD situation for ownership is making the same “distributed, authoritative” mistake.
Absolute hogwash. Torrenting is easy as pie if you know the right places and know the bare minimum basics of torrenting like pick a torrent with more seeds in the quality you want. It takes less time to torrent something than find out which of the gajillion streaming sites has the thing I want to watch.
Looks like a perfect description of Trump nowadays
I haven’t seen it explicitly banned, but the Operational Readiness templates does have a question about that which has to be answered for all product and feature launches. I guess some orgs may just have banned it outright though.
hey you could have lost a lot of money if you tried to cut losses when it crashed to a quarter

every dollar made in bitcoin is someone else’s dollar lost, it’s a casino, nothing more
If you're in a union, bring a union lawyer. If you're not, well, this is why you might want to be.
Well usually whoever deployed the web3 product is collecting fees for its use in some capacity so they have a vested interest in developing it.

Either that or they are holding a huge bag of some project-native token and so they have a vested interest in developing it because increased usage usually correlates to the price of said token increasing as well.
Large levels and good levels are different things. We know that the limitations of PCs are irrelevant here.
Do you have a source on that 1-3 million? Wikipedia says "The most widely accepted estimates are that at least 500,000 to over 1 million were killed", putting in in the vicinity of Rwanda, and less than Cambodia or Bangladesh

Back when slaves were cheap HN was not recommending investing in slaves. /s

So that said, the hivemind has the right reasons, but that doesn't really mean much, since the world is not run according to the HN technocrat ideology. Plus, HN is not an investment forum. Aaaaand, HN loves startup stories about companies that create real proper disruptive bona fide value, like UBER/Amazon, but the early UBER/Amazon not the late sexist/market-size-abusing labor-exploiting one, you follow right?
Of course. It's even more clear with NFTs: people aren't spending thousands of dollars on low-quality NFT sprites because they think they're sound investments or artworks that are that unique and enjoyable in and of themselves. It's people with serious wealth, people who have benefited from scarcity in other domains, trying to promote a system of artificial scarcity in the digital art world. Artificial scarcity that they will later profit off of. This is why they attach huge prizes to what is really worthless crap in order to generate hype and adoption.
After this, we will get back to shared libraries, because updating that libpng would require updating all those static binaries. This is already happening with many go and rust programs.
It was a divine move in the sense that he created a surprise tsumego that crashed AG. Lee Sedol called it his 'trick move' in the post game interview I believe. Move 78 shouldn't have damaged AlphaGo's moyo if it had responded correctly. See diagram 9 here for an explanation: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/viewer.html?pdfurl=https%3A%2F%2Fdeepmind-media.storage.googleapis.com%2Falphago%2Fpdf-files%2Fenglish%2Fls-vs-ag4%2FLS%2520vs%2520AG%2520-%2520G4%2520-%2520English.pdf&clen=4258493&chunk=true
> The server might require some sort of proof of work.

One of the things that I think many people don't really understand about the proposal I made for Stamps is that POW is not required for stamps. Stamps can be given in any number of ways.

For example, someone could simply issue them, with money. For example, if Alice wants to contact Bob for the first time, Bob might say "It will cost one Stamp please", and then Alice will need to get a stamp, maybe it costs 25 cents. Then Alice gives the stamp to Bob, and Bob lets the message pass.

I think proof-of-work systems are incredibly wasteful, and would think that should be an absolute last resort.
How can one know these projects run so good because there's only a few devs and not despite? I was more thinking of an example of a project that failed because it had too many developers.

An example of the opposite I thought of immediately is neovim. The vim dev didn't really want too much changes so the neovim fork took of, and eventually vim development sped up too.
The article is actually wrong on that point: many USB-C cables do not have any chip, only the ones which have extra capabilities (like being able to carry 5A of current instead of only 3A) need to have a chip.
As an ebay seller, it is evident you never, ever comment negatively about ebay online. There are too many times sellers, including large ones, make negative comments only to see ramifications occur.

When this occurred, I was dumbfounded Wenig and Wymer faced no repercussions from what happened. Plausible deniability is quite the cloak.

I could only imagine receiving a funeral wreath for a spouse or having porn addressed to you delivered to your neighbors. Frightening.

ebay strikes me as a company living in the past and squandered what they had built.
Knowing a bit more about the background of this story, the dev conveniently left out a few details here and there which wouldn't support his story or his character. He's really not the martyr here.
Um, what double spending problem? Do you mean the problem that the US has with cashing paper checks?
Europe‘s most wanted: MARSALEK, Jan
There are providers for newspapers. Or you could scrape a news site.
This article is a nerd snipe. Be forewarned.

I had some hallucinations of spending the next decades solving crossword puzzles as I read that, but they seem so arbitry I would go crazy, I'll stick to mathematics puzzles.
I was responding to a comment, not to the article.
My experience from the other side of the fence is that this is pretty standard, i.e. nobody would really bother with changing the standard contract for one potential employee unless they were perceived as a crucial asset. The people who do the hiring, the ones who make the decisions and the ones who will work with you later - these are very different groups of people, with some (very temporary) overlap. The hiring ones, just like most people, prefer to avoid unnecessary problems and additional paperwork, and move on.

Mind you, if many people have the same attitude as you, the hiring people may actually make the change happen forcing the people in charge to approve a variant of the contract without that clause and offer it to the ones who complain but are otherwise excellent candidates. But this is not a quick and easy process.
Thanks, I didn't know that, but I think it reinforces the point.
About the study: "For Exhibition to thrive, it has to win back those who used to, but no longer go to the theater. This study looks at who those people are and what would get them to return"

---

All respondents in the study were asked to self-identify into one of five groups below. Which do you identify with?

Avid movie-goer: frequently go to the cinema/move theater

Infrequents: only sees one or two movies in theatres - no change change due to COVID

Reluctants: returned to theaters in spring, stopped when Delta variant emerged

Hopefuls: Same as the 'reluctants' above. Returned to theaters in spring but stopped when the Delta variant emerged

Likely losts: haven't been to theaters since the pandemic began; don’t see themselves returning in the future.

---

Could upgrades to the theatrical experience would bring people back? Respondents in the study rated the following features positively:

- More space between seats

- Newer seats

- Ability to order food from seat

- More large format screens

- Enforcement of phone usage

- Fewer commercials
At the time, Quake used or introduced a ton of new game mechanics that are ubiquitous these days.
Let's agree on a definition first: web 3.0 is using blockchain tech to replace current server-side computing (static file hosting, functions/processing, databases, etc) and online centralized services (payments, identity, etc).

So, is it bs? No, it is not. If you are a developer, you can go now and build a dapp (a web3 application or distributed app).

So far so good, but:

A simple dapp will cost cents to host/run (even better: will cost only once!) but, can it scale? How easy/cheap would be to run a big, very big, social net? An online store such as Amazon? Uber?

No "password-reset" mechanism. That just sucks.

Keeping the current web safe for your uncle is a pain, yes, that uncle that clicks on every link sent from the rich African prince. Imagine keeping it safe once you help him install a chrome-ext crypto wallet so he can login and consume content from a dapp social net?

It is not really decentralized: you public facing dapp cannot be directly served from the nodes of a blockchain, you need a gateway, that is a centralized web server (good luck making SSL work for your registered domain!).

It would take many years for businesses to migrate/adopt web 3.0 standards. We are barely finishing moving tech to "online versions" from traditional client-server apps.

Miners are businesses, running nodes costs money, they ought to make more of what they spend otherwise they will just disconnect the node. Your data/code may be distributed but its persistence/availability depends on the economic success of whatever project you choose to trust. Early adopters of web 2.0 server-less apps experienced this first hand when they had to port their projects from Parse to something else when FB bought it and shut it down.

Professional miners are needed. You are not going to build your banking dapp on the spare capacities of our laptop's hard drives and CPUs, or are you? Might as well trust the engineers at Google or AWS who have it already figured out and are charging reasonably for it, no?

In sum: web 3.0 tech is here, it is interesting, but it is not a hammer for every nail.
there are a ton of cryptocurrencies where the supply grows every year. dogecoin, tezos, ethereum (this may have changed recently), etc
I actually think I just stumbled across some websites doing this, this week.

They were selling power smart generators for <$100 USD. Both listing an address in Canada, but having a PayPal address that seems to go to someone in China, and not properly setup so any purchase becomes “goods”.

I couldn’t figure out exactly what the scam was… but it’s suddenly making sense !
Isn't Ether (on ethereum), the second most valuable token after bitcoin, non-deflationary? There's no cap and the monetary policy changes regularly. I don't think anyone believes that there is a hard cap. Same is true for BNB, Tether and SOL the third, fourth and fifth most popular coins.

What are you talking about? Random shit-coins that have deflationary economics?
Even if we assume a fixed global supply of bitcoins (which is a big assumption because it assumes bitcoin deposits at institutions will always be backed by full reserves), that doesn't mean that the supply of bitcoins in a particular economic area will be fixed. It most certainly won't, unless international trade stops.
