In most cases, the answer is simple: you don't.

For example, IPFS "solves" this by allowing requests for takedowns per gateway. The upside of IPFS is that you can go after every host, the downside is that everyone knows what content you visit. The network still propagates the illegal content, so you end up with a witch hunt.

It's probably a good thing paedophiles haven't widely discovered IPFS+TOR.
How are they dealt with today? I haven't followed the blockchain tend, but IIRC there were programs that could encode arbitrary data into the blockchain history. What happens if someone puts CP in there?
> An interesting possibility is that illegal content gets permanently inserted into a blockchain, which could make running, for example, an ethereum node very illegal.

I've heard this called a "pee in the pool attack."

Block chains like Ethereum and Bitcoin have one intrinsic defense: they don't support very large data objects. So that makes inserting CP problematic. But someone determined enough and willing to spend money could insert a really horrible image as a series of transactions.
Interesting! What were the features or differences that changed your mind after switching?

As the article mentions, a lot of the "most popular jobs" is determined not by the popularity of the industries but by the fragmentation of jobs. If you have 20 people working on shoes and 40 people working on clothing, then if shoemakers are a single profession/guild but clothing has 10 people each working on a different stage of the product (which actually is the case, with the most labor-intensive tasks of medieval clothing production being in the multiple stages of making the actual cloth, not tailoring it) then shoemakers become a more common job.

A key side-channel is execution time, and no, in general, you can't prevent a program from getting a clock. Even without a clock, one can construct one easily using shared memory and threads. Clocks are also easy to find. Even with low resolution clocks, timing differences can be amplified programmatically, making them observable.

The interest rates on credit are very favorable when considering inflation. Entities with significant medium to long term debt can be attractive right now.

On a personal note, if you have a mortgage at 3% and inflation is 6%, then you are generating value and free to use the money you do have for stuff like investment properties or securities.

Spending $30K might make sense if the landing page just part of the deliverables. For example, I can imagine if you went to a marketing firm and they are assisting with branding, copywriting / editing, syndication, social, etc and the landing page is just the most obvious deliverable of the bundle, then... sure, you could spend $30K really fast.
If you view 'decentralization' as a bucket of technologies underpinned by cryptographic primitives and blockchains, it doesn't.

This is similar to other technologies like cash, paper, and computers* which also don't, as technological phenomena, implicitly include censorship as a feature.

*it looks like consumer computing is moving away from general 'free' computing to ASICs from folks like Apple which likely will include built-in censorship features moving forward.
Regarding the start up, it highly depends what you are doing. Lets say it is work intensive. Then hire now more people, since wages might go up. Lets say you it is rather commodity intensive. Then guess it is better to buy the stuff that you might need later. Especially you even could hedge with option contracts. So basically I don't see any risk. If you are selling stuff, try to keep the contracts short or adjustable.

Regarding the personal savings. I'm in the same boat. No idea how to hedge, since it seems that everything is quite expensive. So even with high inflation doesn't always imply that the stock markets will go up. Same is true for real estate. It just implies that your real dollar value will go down. I don't see a real hedge, just diversification.
Yeah, moving from point A to point B autonomously without relying on public transit i.e. sharing space with other people totally depending on other people's whims and fancies should be a luxury.
Right, some people will be jerks, so treat all employees like criminals. That's why I left my last job. Got tired of seeing people escorted out by security. Talk about a toxic work culture.
> If the C-suite can’t handle that, you’ll never be agile.

My experience is that the problems are typically:

1. Finance. Market targets, multi-year budget projections, "you promised business benefits from project delivery in Q3." Finance teams do not love Agile.

2. Companies who are collections of warring fiefdoms. You need to have an organisation which is mature enough to have reasonable conversations about changing priorites, delivery timelines, and funding in a reasonably dynamic way.

Ask HN: Are any paid startup programs worth it?
I'm curious if there are paid programs for early-stage startups that you think are worth investing in? Especially for non-technical founders who want to meet technical people. I am aware of YC's Startup School (a great start), but I think paid programs are likely to have more direct mentorship, accountability, and community and those are valuable to me. On Deck now operates like YC - paying for equity, but programs like it? I'm especially interested in programs that foster non-traditional founders or ethical/social impact tech.
Couldn't insurance cover that gap?
this already exists, just not widely deployed on web2. 'Connect Wallet'.
Absolutely agree with The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. Re-read it a few times now.
Well not really. IBM could have easily bought Salesforce more than a decade ago but the financial engineering mindset of the management preferred share buybacks.
Meanwhile there are tech companies that invest for the long run like Amazon, Apple and Netflix.
I'm interested in how culture changes and where it can go/is going. Knowing about what ideas or forms of thinking different media favor -- this seems useful to me. It's part of the 'selective landscape' of culture.
> Per GDPR, nearly anything you for which you get consent is legal.

I think this requires qualification. There are a bunch of cases where consent is not considered valid, and there are requirements on being explicit about what you're getting consent for.

See Article 7: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-7-gdpr/

> If the data subject’s consent is given in the context of a written declaration which also concerns other matters, the request for consent shall be presented in a manner which is clearly distinguishable from the other matters, in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language.

In other words, burying consent in a 10-page EULA probably doesn't float. The subject can withdraw consent at any time. This must be easy to do.

And more importantly, see Article 6 - you can't just get consent for "monitoring your children" and then use the data for unrelated things that you claim are part of that task.

In this case the only way you could be compliant is if you had a pop-up that says "we'd like to sell your location data to other companies (listed here). This isn't required to offer you our location tracking service. Do you give consent? Y/N". In which case the story would not be news, as everybody would be aware that this is what the app does.
Front ends are getting more common around here. I like this change. If they reach mainstream, maybe websites will finally become more responsive

The perfect time to take out a loan.
The best thing you can do is ignore all of the inflation talk and focus on building your business. If your startup plans are put at risk by a couple extra percent of inflation, you have bigger problems.

If you're selling a product or service, don't forget that the price of your product or service will also rise with inflation. Unless you have a strange business that requires multi-year inventory storage and low margins, inflation isn't really a big deal. Raise prices when the time comes.

> As of Oct 2021, the inflation rate is 6.2%

The CPI inflation rate is based on consumer spending and reflects a basket of things like housing, gas, transportation, milk, eggs, groceries, and so on. It's not really relevant for your startup.

You need to look at your biggest expenditures. For a pre-traction software startup, this is basically employee compensation. There's not much you can do about this number changing, other than to be such a great place to work that employees don't necessarily mind falling behind the curve as compensation rises everywhere. Or just do the right thing and pay people market rate and get good work in return.

> what should founders do to protect their personal savings and startup cash from the inflation while also maintaining liquidity?

Personal savings and startup cash are two entirely different topics.

Personal savings: Standard mix of stocks and maybe bonds/CD ladders. People seem to forget that stocks tend to rise with inflation, but it's how investors have been floating above inflation for centuries. Do not buy into the hype about either gold or cryptocurrencies being the only way to hedge against inflation. It's not true.

Startup funds: Cash is fine. You shouldn't be planning on hoarding this for many years anyway, so don't put it at risk in order to chase higher returns.

It was explained to me as if they track individual cars so I assumed they extract identifiers. I don't know much about BT so I had no reason to question if that was possible. I asked about TPMS as an alternative and they said bluetooth was more reliable since many cars didn't use in-wheel transponders.
Well that's the point actually. It is a lot like shareholder/board of directors voting. Except that the DAO requires virtually no bureaucracy to get up and running. So if, say, you and your local community wanted to start an organization to fund some common-goods project you can do it in a few minutes, provided you have people who are onboard with the vision and have a little money to put in. After that all voting and movement of funds is transparent. The code replaces corporate structure. There are unsolved problems like vote-buying and all that, but then other mechanisms would kick like "rage-quitting" (a term used officially by some DAO systems) by which DAOs can dissolve and funds be withdrawn by contributors. Plenty of research projects on the table, but benefits are already being reaped, as in this Blender case.
that Web2 VS Web3 schema pretty much summarize what's wrong with the new internet based on brand identities instead of technical merits.

A brief rebuttal:

- Twitter can censor any account or Tweet: yes, but Twitter is not the web, you can host your own tweets, even for free.

- Web3 tweets are better because decentralized: translations -> your thought are going to be forever visible to everybody and not even the author will be able to remove them. Of course any of those new shiny web3 logs can fail and everything can disappear with them.

- Payment services may decide to not allow payments: Web3 payments can do the same. There is nothing that forces me to accept a payment and if that was true, that would be a problem. I __do want__ to refuse payments from criminals and I do wanna know if someone is.

- servers for gig economy may go down. web3 servers can go down as well, they are made of hardware and maintained by people too.

You can read the text, and see some images, but the capture wasn't perfect. Such a shame, it looks very interesting. They should have an archive.
I cannot fathom why they would they remove previous scans/links. Maybe to enable a paywall archive?

It's super slick how they showcase the object as you scroll down, but flattening it into a single URL and only making one scan available per month restricts your audience appeal.

I only first heard of this site when they did the lego minifigs last month. Did they publish any other scans prior to that?

I think the problem with the current state of Web3 is that it really doesn't seem to solve meaningful, mainstream problems yet.

Even the most widely accepted use case which is crypto-currency fails to break out of the theoretical value outlined in the different white papers. I own several crypto-currencies and there hasn't been a single moment in which I thought of buying something with a crypto-currency. I have crypto-currencies because I'm speculating in their asset class value, not necessarily because I'm betting on their utility.

Now, I know that crypto coins are indeed used in real service/product transactions, but I think there's a difference between the present economical use of cryptos and its potential mainstream use where cryptos can effectively replace fiat currencies in super wide economic settings.

I believe that Web3 would happen but I honestly can't see a clear trajectory for Cryptos, NFTs, DAOs etc to become effective instruments that can replace existing Web2 instruments.

In fact the reason why everything in Web3 feels like BS right now is because everything in this space uses Web2 distribution. People promoting NFTs on Twitter feels a little bit like someone faxing you a webpage. Owning the rights to a random JPEG is something that feels too abstracted from the present Web2 mental model and value proposition.
You seem to have missed the point entirely. Let me summarize this a different way.

You can't personally control the lens through which people look at problems or discuss ideas. Someone approaching a problem differently than you is not automatically a signal that they are wrong, but that they think differently than you do.

I may have communicated that poorly through the examples I offered, but bottom line: you and I are having conversations about entirely different things.
