Surely Ubisoft is just storing metadata about the items in the blockchain, not the actual model or anything. This whole thing is purpose-built to support the game. If the NFT says player X owns red_skin #33856, then the game will say such, but Ubisoft would still be free to change the model at their discretion or remove the item from the game if they want, making the NFT useless in such a case.

It really is not any different from Valve's system except it's way more complicated, it's using a trendy thing, you don't need Ubisoft to trade things (although you still have to complete trust in Ubisoft for the NFTs to have any use as they still have to mint the items and could still remove an item or ban a specific item number), item duplication is impossible, and fraud protection is impossible.
So does this mainly come down to fingerprinting, as a replacement for traditional ad IDs (which should be blocked at a system level when you opt out)?

If so, it seems solvable by Apple (through a combination of introducing noise/imprecision, and gating more things behind user-controllable app permissions)

Looking at a recent email I received from them, it appears to originate from o26.email.robinhood.com, which resolves to 149.72.71.69, which in turn (per ARIN) belongs to Sendgrid. Other emails I've received vary in the first portion of the 'received from' value (e.g. o2, o6, etc.) YMMV.

This isn't hard stuff.
I have completely given up shopping for anything of any importance due to the counterfeit or stolen items. I ordered a wireless charging dock from Anker, a fully sealed box came full of C batteries. I ordered some drill bits after my old ones wore out after about a decade, the new ones lasted less than a month. Clearly counterfeit despite looking EXACTLY the same. It's just impossible now, so I just avoid them entirely and go straight to the manufacturer.
That's weird. My home ip address of broadband is linked to my provider, a dynamic IP fyi.

My ip with a reverse route can definitely be linked back to my country consistently according to past experience.

Providers mostly shift ip's between clients. Is your provider also active in Canada perhaps? ( Just a guess)

That might actually be the two exact reason any of these organisations/companies wouldn’t want to use NFTs for something like VIP tokens.

I'm not sure it's really clear how their platform will work yet; but there is no way to distinguish a "hot" from "cold" wallet, and most of these applications understand that an individual can (and often does) hold tokens across multiple wallets.

I'm not sure how a single actor could steal all of the tokens unless their smart contract development team is inept and accidentally included some kind of "transfer_all_tokens" function.

Haha, those numbers are outrageous) We are now streaming about 50 GB/s from our persistent storage on each machine.

> Increasing productivity never lays people off, unless the people were originally being unproductive.

This is either trivial or underdetermined. It depends on how you define "unproductive":

- If you define "unproductive" as "produces at a lesser rate than the new, increased productivity level" then it's just a tautology.

- If your definition of "unproductive" is not relative to the new rate, then you have to stipulate a reasonable definition of "productivity" and show that it was not being met prior to the automation. You haven't done this.

It might turn out that the second bullet is easy enough to do in the domain you're talking about. But it's worth using language precisely if you're going to tell people that they have a "dumb understanding" of whatever you're discussing.
If you have a window or door that inherently rubs during usage, merely painting over it won’t fully eliminate the lead dust exposure. Similarly, chipping paint (from ordinary wear) will often chip off all layers of paint.

Painting over it helps, but isn’t an elimination.
We can know things outside of what the mind can process with results such as: if this thing is hot and you touch it you will catch on fire and die. The brain cannot incorrectly perceive that.

>So what?

Follow the thread:

>> I haven't ever heard trickle down proponents suggest we give the money to the working class.

>Because that would require taking from some people and giving to others through government, which is a very inefficient way to do it.

The argument is even though trickle down proponents don't suggest we give the money to the working class, they're fine with giving money via several mechanisms to business, thus trickle down.

>Call me crazy, but IMO the solution is not having programs that burn our collective wealth.

Our collective wealth should be spent on helping the "collective," i.e. citizenry directly. It's been hijacked with trickle down theory. Trickle down theory basically says if you give all the collective wealth to business, it will be spent helping the citizenry. I guess it does in the form of jobs, but the businesses certainly get most of the cut.

"...means to stimulate business investment in the short term and benefit society at large in the long term."

Of course it's a sham, but it's been going on since at least Reagan.
I understand your concern and I would definitely feel the same if some language I wasn't familiar with was suddenly introduced in the kernel. But at the same time as a big Rust enthusiast I think it's really a good idea in the long run: C is going nowhere but it's really dated, design-wise. When you've tasted the sweet nectar of type inference, strong typing, union types and of course the safety of the borrow checker, returning to C feels like banging rocks together.

The main drawback of Rust here I think is the longer compile times (I dread to imagine how long a fully Rustified kernel would take to build) and a generally more complex, but also more expressive language.

More generally I trust the kernel maintainers not to succumb to the hype and overdo it. People who still exchange patchsets over mailing lists are probably unlikely to be blinded by shiny things.
2017-2018 was an unusually deadly flu season:

> More than 80,000 Americans died of the flu in the winter of 2017-2018, the highest number in over a decade, federal health officials said last week. Although 90 percent of those deaths were in people over age 65, the flu also killed 180 young children and teenagers, more than in any other year since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began using its current surveillance methods.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/01/health/flu-deaths-vaccine...

Other contemporaneous reporting:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/26/health/flu-rates-deaths.h...

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/02/health/flu-symptoms-virus...

Meanwhile:

> Overall, more than 771,000 COVID-19 deaths have been reported in the U.S. during the pandemic. About 385,000 were reported in 2020, according to CDC data, and more than 386,000 have been reported this year.

https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20211122/us-covid-deaths-202...

So 2021 alone has nearly 5x the Covid19 deaths as the 2017-2018 flu season. Also:

> As of last Monday, nine hospitals in Michigan were 100 percent full (https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/0,9753,7-406-98159-5236...), and at least 20 others were at or above 90 percent capacity. Statewide, nearly one in four hospital patients (https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-health-watch/michigan-hosp...) has a confirmed or suspected case of Covid-19. In the last few weeks, my hospital has been consistently at or near capacity and nearly every day the vast majority of those patients are sick with Covid-19. Nearly all have been unvaccinated.

> On some shifts, the stress in the air is palpable. My colleagues and I know the patients are piling up, but there just are not enough nurses to properly triage everyone. A patient experiencing heart failure waits in an emergency room because inpatient rooms upstairs are all occupied. Patients who need surgery can’t be transferred because nearly every hospital within a two-hour drive is near or at capacity, too.

It's strange to me that you think this was a choice of developers instead of marketers or business holders. My understanding is the impetus behind this decision is that likes / dislikes have a negative effect on people in the social space. Though it makes things slightly harder to navigate in the youtube space, I think overall it is a well intentioned change.

Kids making fun of poorer kids for not having nicer cosmetics is absolutely nothing new… are we really going to pin the blame on this on the designer clothes brands, or the educational environment we are raising children?

I think people with nicer skins are more highly invested in the game both literally and figuratively, and thus are more likely to be better. I don’t think kill cams are the way valve is trying to convince you to buy skins.

And for your last point, yes that sucks but is that any worse than the default experience for literally every multiplayer video game on the market?

The good thing is you don't need a RCT to see that vaccines are effective against mortality. For this you just have to talk to any clinician who is witnessing this winter wave and let them tell you about the difference in age profile of people on the ICU.

Or you look at incidence and observe that with even higher incidence than last year, we do have reduced mortality overall.
1. The corollary is that code that does not contain unsafe code is guaranteed to not contain memory safety bugs, assuming that you trust and/or have audited unsafe usage in your dependencies.

2. unsafe blocks are explicit and therefore visible during code review. Memory safety violations in C++ are not always visible, simply because they are implicit.

3. Thanks to (2), unsafe usage in a codebase can be easily quantified and, if needed, audited.

Lot of people in this thread criticising NFTs and honestly I’d like to pile in. I don’t understand what Ubisoft is doing here.

The best case I can make for NFTs is securing ownership of digital assets. Let’s say I spend a few thousand on the Steam store. Then for some reason I charge back a transaction on my credit card. Valve will instantly ban me and I lose access to everything. Now if there was instead a system where my ownership was recorded on a token outside of valve’s control and that ownership entitled the holder of the token to access the game in perpetuity, that would be useful. Maybe.

But even I’m not convinced by this. Steam and other digital stores like Kindle are already hugely successful. It’s possible that people would spend more on digital goods if their ownership was irrevocable and transferable but I doubt it.

It should have some uncertainty when it says there are no French-speaking countries in South America. French Guiana is there, but it's not clear it counts as a "country in South America" since it's part of France. Technically you could say France is (partially) a country in South America, and France definitely is French-speaking. The way the question is phrased is unclear as to whether French Guiana should count, and yet Gopher says that it is fully confident in its answer.

the point that companies are looking for ways to create a supply of cheap code monkeys so they can pay everyone in the industry less. they do this by creating their own training programs and selling the idea you don’t need a college degree. they then also make sure that you cannot get hired if you have one, by requiring you take leetcode style interviews. this way they can give priority to those who took their programs, without getting sued for discrimination. this limits the number of highly paid people coming in. and everyone is falling for it and doing these stupid code interviews instead of saying no.
There is a certain personality type common among midwits who are smart enough to think of the most obvious workaround/solution/exception but not smart enough to realize that when people communicate, especially online, they usually choose brevity over exactness.

Like if I say "Humans have two feet" some midwit will come along with an article or anecdote about a person who was born without two feet.

And if I say the multi-hour outage of AWS made my friend minutes late because of her car warmer, what is going through the mind of a person who offers the solution "Did she try walking to the car and turning it on manually?" These are the kinds of people that if you met them in real life you'd quickly distance yourself from them.
The same is true for the original claim.

Unless we have a bird's eye view of the entire economy, the only direct measure of money getting converted to useful economic activity is Capex (and Opex).

The volume of BTC, or bank deposits/lending, or stock markets - they are all hard to correlate with economic activity.

I don't support reasonless bans and no communication from Twitter. That said, this account was not particularly useful for tracking the trial. In particular, they were tweeting a lot of what they hoped would happen or wanted to happen. Folks were constantly replying "is that what happened today, or what should happen?" E.g. something like "Now is the time for Federal Agents to show exactly who was on all the CDs". This was not an event that happened in the courtroom. Clearly the prosecution has no desire to reveal all that information when there's still a possibility of going after those parties next. The trial tracker account was no good.

I was looking for this among all the responses. Surprised you're the only one who mentioned it.

In my first job, I would make constant productivity improvements like this. This resulted in two problems:

1. The team became dependent on them, but only I would maintain them (management's directive). Although productivity went up, management saw me as the bottleneck because if the tool acted poorly, that team member's work was held up until I fixed it. I ended up with a lot more responsibilities, yet had to keep up with all my teammates who were using the tool to be more productive. That's a recipe for burnout. And except for one bonus one year, I didn't get paid more and it was made clear to me that all this stuff would not contribute to a promotion.

In summary: I needed to maintain all this, do my "regular" job, and had no option not to work on the tools any more.

2. Since management loved all these tools, they decided to own them: Prioritized features, changed behavior for the worse, etc. I now had to not only maintain my babies, but I had no say on the development of said babies.

I was eventually fired for not being productive enough on my "real" work.[1]

I'm not jaded, though. Now in every new job, I test the waters. If management acts this way again, I stop showing people my productivity tools, and slowly look for another job. Often, management really does appreciate and reward me.

[1] Well, and for other reasons. I quit first, and they retroactively fired me :-)
