Firstly, I know that this post is from a company with money in the game, so I'm expecting it to be positive.

But, curious to see if I'd missed anything, I went down to the "Applications of DAOs" section, and clicked a post at random. This one.[1]

> But what if underrepresented communities and their allies could more easily organize human and financial capital to invest in projects and people that mattered to them and the diverse world we live in? What if by investing more capital into underrepresented communities, we could dramatically accelerate progress in diversity, inclusion, and equity globally?

> We believe that this is the future: underrepresented communities and their allies will be able to more easily coordinate human and financial capital to invest in building the world we all live in—and in the process, economically empower their communities in ways that today’s societal systems are failing to do at scale.

> And all of this will be enabled at scale across the internet by DAOs.

So, I'm guessing the _proposed_ application is "easier access to pools of investment money for minorities", and the proposed solution is _DAOs_.

But what it doesn't explain is why DAOs are a better solution than all the other existing solutions for creating investment syndicates.

In one sense, No. This question is effectively equivalent to questions like "Is there a way to find out everybody who likes cheese?". You're going to need to ask everybody, which is not practical.

However, you can get fairly close, at some expense. You need "passive DNS" which is a product aggregated from large DNS services containing the set of DNS questions and answers they saw over some period (but not who asked the question)

If you can afford to buy this, you can process that data (or your service provider might offer a neat database query that can do it) to find all the A questions whose answer was some particular dotted quad in some period (e.g. last 7 days). Since it's apparently a market research question you likely have a budget and will find this affordable. If it's "market research" only in the sense that somebody in your sales department was idly wondering, well, the answer is they need to pay $$$ to somebody.

Mansplaining is still a useful term, and no longer just refers to the original man-explaining-to-woman scenario. A woman can also mansplain, but that’s often called “womensplaining”. The truth is that most of the time it’s still a man doing it, and their target is most often a woman, so it’s still worth calling out in those situations.
What I don't get is how DAOs are not seriously running aground of SEC regulations.

Everyone seems to indicate that DAOs will enable large groups of individuals who are not accredited investors to invest in some arbitrary organization, turn a profit on their investment and take it out later. That's a blanket security according to the Howey test.

I also wonder how the regulators will stop this? They can only enforce this at the place of exchange for crypto<->US dollars, I believe, so I imagine a "exchanging crypto for dollars is illegal if it was derived from an unregistered security"

I don't know. I just don't see how these do not end up placing people under serious legal risks.

This is an incredibly thorough analysis of all the different kinds of things that can appear on the end of the USB-C. However, I think it puts blame on the hardware spec, when in reality the drivers are at fault. It is up to the driver to sort out the mess of options and provide feedback, however, engineers are not known for UX. All of the tools are there for querying caps, but this information simply doesn't propagate upstream to the GUI, so the user is left scratching their heads when they don't get bandwidth or connectivity. Recently I have started seeing devices alert me when they are plugged into a sub-optimal hub (e.g., Salae's USB-3 logic analyzer), but I think it will take some time for the driver/application space to catch up.

I feel the same on iOS with jaibreak, Android with root, but with good hardware, and software support.

>I can easily patch and replace every part of it, even right on the phone, while Android build system is a massive PITA.

What do you want to patch or replace? On Android I use a browser with desktop extensions, have the battery set to charge to 80% for longevity, and I don't really see the benefit of gnu linux on mobile if it doesn't offer anything substantial to users, it hopes to do this with an android emulator that doesn't even work on desktop.

>I made a mistake of getting a Kindle and at some point updating it to a version that didn't have a jailbreak available yet, so I told myself to never willingly rely on jailbreaking again.

Serial jailbreak would have worked, but better to get open hardware like kobo to install koreader. ;)
Also, I want to clearly and strongly reject non-law enforced "change in behavior" as being any defense of government removals of freedom. It does not defend such attacks in ANY way whatsoever.

While in my other reply I express my doubt at "change in behavior" being the driver of any sort of economic impact similarities, say it was. In that case, what it would show is that overbearing government removals of freedoms to the extent that you can't even go out in public are not even needed to have that effect in behavior.

From what I understand (and I do not believe it, to be clear) the claim is that DAO's governance structure is codified in smart contracts as being "the will of all members" it is 'better' in the sense that there is not one small group (think CEO, executives, etc.) controlling the organization, but rather the entire organization agrees on the direction via something like voting/smart-contracts/etc.

Because it is a union. And there are things (e.g., a reasonable defense) that make sense. The idea is relatively sound. But the current execution is 20+ yrs out of style.

I get your sarcasm, but the bitcoin paper has little to do with the EVM and smart contracts except as a foundational idea.

Either way, I’m inclined to agree with the beautiful sarcasm the OP posted. Trustless doesn’t make it more valuable than the trusted systems that we already have that are cheaper and do a decent job without artificial scarcity

It is[1] popular to recommend MPC over VLC in the anime fansub community, especially on /a/. When H. 264/10bit was newish and had just started to come into regular use in the scene[2], I distinctly remember a lot of people shitting on VLC because at the time it didn't handle it very well right out of the box, and there were tons of guides floating around on how to download/setup MPC-HC with CCCP or k-lite and haali media splitter for a supposedly better viewing experience.

[1] Or at least was, my recollections regarding this are nearly 10-15 years old at this point.

[2] There was one specific person, Daiz from the Underwater/UTW fansub group, that was one of the first people to start encoding his releases in H.264/10bit, and he would get a lot of hate because they tended not to play very well on improper setups, vanilla VLC being among those. "Dammit Daiz", they would say. He eventually bruteforced a tripcode to have H.264 in it just to mess back at them for all the hate. Fun memories.

edit: here we go, a contemporary HN rant from the man himself regarding MPC vs VLC. Looks like summoning Daiz works here too

Any example is a base case that is sufficient for starting an inductive truth, as long as it is covered in your inductive rule.

The actual error is is a logic error in the proof of the inductive rules that takes a logical step that only holds for n>=2 but doesn't acknowledge that condition. If that logical step is done properly and the condition made explicit, it is clear that a base case of n=1 won't prove anything with that inductive rule that only applies to n>=2.

Lol no. It is a whole sets of skills, from extracting just right abstracts from the problem domain and defining adequate sets of interfaces, to arrive at just right (clear, concise, mostly-functional) modular implementation.

That's good and bad haha, 3G was terrible. I agree with VoIP, I don't use regular calls anymore. Its amazing that the N900 is still being supported. What do you use these devices for? It seems like you'd have to disable javascript to browse with that ram amount, have to buy expensive replacement batteries or outdated OEM, and make a lot of tradeoffs. What keeps you using them over a newer one or a postmarketOS supported one? I love having control over my hardware, but I am less willing to trade off performance, I will root or jailbreak a phone and use it for 4 years or so, still love my 2012 S3 with root and 2GB ram though!
Hmm, I think there is a more basic error here. If you remove an element from your set of n + 1 horses, you get different sets of n horses depending on which one you take out. Here's where the mistake is:

"Consider any set H of n+1 horses. We may pick a horse at random, h_1 in H, and remove it from the set, getting a set of n horses. By the inductive hypothesis, all of the n remaining horses are the same color.

On the other hand, if we remove a different horse h_2 in H, we again get a set of n horses which are all the same color. Let us call this color “brown,” just to give it a name. In particular, h_1 is brown. But when we removed h_1, we got that all the remaining horses had the same color as h_2. So h_2 must also be brown. Hence, all horses in H are brown."

Nope, when you removed h1, and when you removed h2, by assumption you got two sets of uniform color, but you never proved they had the same uniform color as one another. The ambiguity lies in the English phrase "same color" which can be interpreted in two different ways. It could mean "uniform color within the set of n horses" or "uniform across every set of n horses".
Sounds a lot like a place I once totally noped out of.

Seemed good at first because it was fairly hands off. Turned out I got tricked because the part of their ecosystem I initially got a glimpse of really was just a small thing that wasn't really representative of anything else they were doing.

Most of the tech stack was pretty old and horribly maintained. Frameworks remained severely outdated and obvious antipatterns were used to keep them playing nicely with some things that were at least a bit more up to date. The codebase(s) was way too big and unwieldy for what the product was actually doing. Strings and configuration that were liable to frequent change that should have been served from an API were all hard-coded and required multiple things to be deployed simultaneously for even the smallest modification. The code was just dreadful, and there was an anti-documentation culture in the team. Lots of the other engineers were clueless, and I couldn't blame them because I was clueless as well. The smallest changes took forever to implement without causing significant breakages. The QA team did no automation and failed to catch a lot of things. Code review was an absolute joke. There were tons of dependencies, including ones that were totally nonsensical. The only real sort of coding style or preferred design pattern, if you could call it that, was to use OOP up the wazoo, with several layers of needless inheritance. It was hard to make sense of anything and I was forced to jump through tons of files to figure out how something worked. There were lots of things in the app that no one could explain, and nobody seemed to think any of these things were problems. I'm sure I could have remained there indefinitely, but in my opinion it's damaging to one's sanity to go through the motions and pretend like that's all fine. So I walked.

> A simple thing to keep in mind is that if someone thinks they know better than the veterans in the industry with dozens of textbooks on the subject, chances are they are morons.

That depends on what you are looking for, though. They're probably morons if they are looking to hire a junior developer. If they're hiring someone more senior, I don't think it's obvious that they might be morons.

Honestly, I find what a lot of veterans evangelize about to be bullshit intended to sell books. If I'm interviewing somewhere and I find out that they hate the overuse of OOP as much as I do, going against what a lot of veterans said for years, I'm more likely to be intrigued.

The heart of your first point is totally valid. If something doesn't smell right to you, just move on. You don't even need a reason. Almost every time my spidey senses tingled, they turned out to be right.

> Ask as many questions about the tech stack as possible

I wish I could see the code before I sign an offer. If I could see the code, that can tell me almost everything I need to know most of the time.
Most temporary variables are single assignment, and many newer procedural languages do have variable declaration syntax for single-assignment variables. Such as Javascript's `let`.

Another wide-spread syntax feature is for-loops over collections like `for item in list`, again being extremely easy to read and not requiring any assignments. So, accidental in-place mutation is not an issue in practice. But, in-place mutation can be very useful to express logic in an easy to understand way.

Coincidentally my main language does not have any of these features, and in-place mutation is like 0.1% of all my problems. (And notably, memory management is < 5% of my problems).

These are all just theoretic problems, what really matters is developer experience. You can write terrible bug-ridden convoluted code in any language, ESPECIALLY with many filters and lambdas and callbacks.

The issue with the functional style is that it becomes harder to see the control flow and run-time characteristics. I'm sure functional style is great to express set operations (like DB queries) but IME they tend to optimize for source code brevity and pessimize for runtime performance.

No: the killer issue is the size. The loop index going negetive doesn't affect the performance at all, but making sure that it actually wraps at 32-bits instead of 64-bits requires simulating the 32-bit wrapping with a clamp.

>but the bitcoin paper has little to do with the EVM and smart contracts except as a foundational idea

I am not claiming the bitcoin whitepaper has anything to do with EVM, but it explains why a trustless, digital currency is needed and how it can be implemented. It predates real cryptocurrencies, so it can read easier without references to cryptocurrencies that exist today. The author has demonstrated incredible ignorance of why things like EVM exist in the first place.

>Trustless doesn’t make it more valuable than the trusted systems

Author doesn't understand why people think it could be/is valuable either.

You are more often than not reduced to iterative numerical approximations for very simple linear PDEs as well.

Consider a simple linear PDE such as the heat equation du/dt = Δu + f(t). On a square or a circle you can solve this analytically in the frequency domain using separation of variables. But as soon as you consider an arbitrary domain (say, shaped like an elephant) you can no longer solve it in the frequency domain and need to use iterative numerical approximations.

What part of post-scarcity don't you understand? Money doesn't matter. Post-scarcity.
It has the JSON-IPC interface, which is much better than vlc's telnet interface (which is barely documented at all.) The pseudo-gui is written as a lua script and can be swapped out with your own to suit your personal whims. It comes with builtin support for youtube-dl/yt-dlp (which work on a wider range of sites than vlc's equivalent feature), which can be modified to allow changing the format/quality on the fly. Relating to that, scripts can add new protocol support for things like torrent files, magnet links, etc. With the right scripts and configuration, you can turn it into a capable image viewer suitable for reading comic books (cbz files).

I have a gallery view (for the playlist) and a contact sheet view (for the current file) that both have thumbnails. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get this in VLC (surely there must be a way, right? But the documentation is crap and I can't find it anywhere in the menus or preferences window. All I can find is the playlist view that doesn't have thumbnails.)

But the big differences which enable everything else is better documentation, particularly for the scripting and IPC interfaces. If you can find the documentation for VLC's Lua interface please let me know, because as far as I can tell that documentation is nonexistent. It's certainly not in the manpage, nor the worthless F1 window, nor can I find it on the VLC wiki). It's difficult to figure out what VLC's Lua interface is even capable of, but if you go by the addons listed on VLC's website the sole advantage of VLC's Lua scripting seems to be the ability to create basic GUIs.
