> central planning does not fix those deficiencies, it makes them worse

How would the system I'm describing make inequality and the resulting conflict worse?

> you have to count the communication between the nodes as part of the computation.

But surely the nodes themselves must be the ones to perform the physical computation in the end? If the computing power of distributed systems scales exponentially with the number of nodes, why doesn't the computing power of a supercomputer scale exponentially with its number of cores?

> Every time socialism fails, socialist ideologues say it's because it wasn't true socialism.

Don't be ridiculous. There are plenty of countries with much better safety nets than the U.S. The U.S. government is just especially dysfunctional.

> I am not saying that governments never do beneficial things. I am saying that governments, on net, will do worse than a free market would do.

I guess we just disagree about this.

> in many situations there may simply be no way of achieving an optimal result

If you take "optimal result" to mean "best possible result," then there is, by definition, always a way of achieving an optimal result.
Poll: Was NeXTSTEP a nice looking UI?
Seeing lots of people argue about NeXTStep on a recent submission, made me think about using a little known feature of HN - A Poll! Pick your answer (by voting it up):
Yes! It's beautiful and always will be.
No. It looks dated and horrible.

Does the blockchain verify my identity? Or that I worked any of the places I claimed to work?
Neat. Seems a bit like like live volatility3 plugins.
Humans are generally predictable, even crazy ones, since we get to interact with them from day 1, after birth. Plus in many places there are decent tests in place that block some of the crazies.

Computers, not so much.
or even better, put it on github or google drive.
Wouldn’t it also be applicable to a lot of intrinsically problematic situations ?

For instance if you had to direct an “employees right” course in a strongly anti-union company, you’d have “low energy” people looking at you with dead eyes, and you’d be complaining they suck your energy too. But is it really a problem outside of the scope of your course ?
All of aspects of life has risk. Saying that covid is dangerous to children is pure fear mongering. Compared to basically everything else, virtually no children have died.

Only if you send just as much untrusted input there as to your DIY logging. If it's a transitive dependency that's unused or that's only used for some logging happening on calls to that library, the risk is lower.

It’s a good time to remind folks that owning a domain doesn’t give you automatic trademark rights over the name. However owning the name prior to the trademark being registered does appear to give you some protection.

I agree with you, I've never had issues with my non-blockchain PDF, but having the option to put a resume on the blockchain is something that the majority of our users responded they'd like to be able to do. Ultimately it's a small part of our software, but it does allow users to prove they are the one who created the resume originally. The value of this is yet to be determined.
>political realism (i.e. everything is power dynamics)

Can you explain how that doesn't apply to everything else? I see every interaction as power dynamics.

I agree with your points and your ideas, are you saying that not being naive, you are cynical because its an accurate model of reality, like the slippery slope "fallacy"

The article seems to say that we should change our models when its useful to, instead of rationalizing it, the challenge seems like something worth trying though. We need to be delusional sometimes, its useful too.
This story was one of the times I realized the left have no morals. I knew that civilians were being killed because policy was changed to not avoid human shields deaths. Just bomb anyway.

The problem was that this act was carried out by Trump, and the optics of calling him an evil killer when he said exactly what he was going to do and did it were really bad.

The left had to sell their soul to not go after Trump on maybe the one thing he deserved to be held accountable for.

One thing is for certain though, it truly was just a matter of will to kill.
The implementation isn't even really correct...

> serves as a promise from the job seeker that the resume is truthful.

Isn’t that sort of implied when someone gives you a resume?

Have you noticed a lot of job applicants saying things like “that pdf I gave you? Total bullshit, I made it all up. But this? This is real, because blockchain!”?

Also, do you even store the resume on the blockchain, or do you just store a url? If the latter, what happens when the original owner of the dns name sells it to someone else who replaces your “blockchain verified” resume with goatse?
I'm still a few OS releases behind so I'm not used to paying attention to updates, but does this seem like an atypically high amount of RCEs?
Yes, Swift is memory safe in this regard (as long as Unsafe.... isn´t being used), however most code on macOS is still mostly C, C++ and Objective-C.
Hmm at a previous company we paid about $1.25/mo/device to connect to T-mobile's 2G network. Knowing how "Enterprise" pricing often works in other sectors, I actually wouldn't be surprised if larger companies pay more per connection than consumers (ostensibly because of "Enterprise" features like dedicated support or uptime guarantees, but really because they are motivated enough to bear the higher cost).

Yes, because:

1. It's popular and well understood.

2. It's included in the distribution and enjoys security fixes.

3. It's included in the distribution and shipped with good SELinux profile.

4. Since I use it to explain reverse proxy, I don't have to go into explaining new syntax (and people don't have to learn two different tools just for the sake of it).

Most people will prefer the reasons above to a better performance in theory (in theory, because I doubt NGINX will be your bottleneck).

Speaking as somebody with 20 years of international egov experience. Why is there an egov minister? There is no weird separate “electronic government” that’s somehow distinct from the “real government”. What typically happens in these scenarios is that the “egov people” are given a bunch of money to go play with in the corner while the grownups continue with business as usual. Also, having engineers that high up in the hierarchy is not sustainable. Come next elections, he is going to be out, and very likely all his reforms and changes will be undone by the next person. Just look what happened to the GDS in UK.

The engineering responsibility should be low in the hierarchy with wide political support across all ministries. Unless the ministry of social affairs sees, that the only sensible way to fulfill their mandate is to offer electronic services and is also able to execute that, nothing will get better in that area. The egov minister might walk back and forth the government meeting room on his eyebrows but he will not be granted the power to tell other ministries how to do their jobs.

The Subaru wouldn't stop for a stationary vehicle though. Most of those systems either don't work at all for stationary vehicles, or work far less reliably. They're mostly designed for the case you described - car ahead slows suddenly and the driver isn't paying attention.

I couldn’t live in a small village - I’ve tried it, I found it suffocating, the gossip mill, the forced friendships with people who you otherwise wouldn’t associate with, the never ending charity drives and village hall events that make you want to crawl under a rock. (Young Farmer’s Association Charity Raffle! Over 55’s only!)

I now live a long way from anyone, in a cabin deep in the forest, about 10km from the nearest village over inhospitable terrain, 2km from the nearest trackway along windy and wild paths I cut along the side of a sheer valley. We don’t get visitors, apart from those that we invite.

It wasn’t the lack of activity that I found troubling - rather, the village people, filling their days with forced smiles and petty vendettas. Every time I sat down it felt like someone would knock on the door and ask me to sign their petition.

Here, it’s just me, my wife, and the wildlife.

The pace here is frantic, as surviving and thriving off-grid is a lot of work. I smile and nod at the villagers when I drive by on the weekly provisioning run, and that’s enough for me.

I think a city almost has more in common with being alone than it does with a small settlement - in a city, the crowds allow anonymity and this creates a virtual space for the individual. In the boonies, there is actual space for the individual. In a village, all is cloying, suffocating togetherness. Great if you like that kind of thing, but it really wasn’t for me.
You're right, it sucks in the short term. The way I look at ethereum/defi is that we're interacting with the protocol directly right now. Imagine if you could only use your bank by working directly with the API, and then some people hacked together crude tools to make the API more tolerable.

Over time this will all be abstracted away and typical users won't have to worry how it's all working underneath (unless they really want to).
Even then, the entire software environment and even the compiler choice or different hardware could cause numerical differences.
When did Apple start disallowing local backups? I'll admit I haven't tried recently -- there's no data worth backing up on my iPhone anyway -- but it definitely worked just fine a few years ago. Apple's "Back up iPhone" support page[1] agrees with me.

> You have no idea how your career goals are related to the job you want

I don't know whether an employer can help me meet my own career goals, but an AI does? And somehow the blockchain factors into this? This is one of the more patronizing startups I've ever seen.

I remember using a similar 'frustrated internal reflectance' setup with perspex + IR LEDs + an IR webcam + a projector to make a large cheap multi-touch surface. You're limited by the frame rate of a camera+whatever processing needs to happen, which I imagine introduces a lot more lag than, say, an apple pencil. But it's a good cheap way to get a novel input device.

Most TACC systems won’t brake for objects going less than vehicle_speed-threshold, due to how radar works. You don’t get relative speeds and distance for a set of objects, you get a spectrum showing how much of what the radar sees is moving at each relative speed.

That’s also why most TACC doesn’t work below 30km/h or so. It can’t tell the difference between the car in front and a stationary object next to the road.

Edit: This is actually an interesting rabbit hole to go down, because on the face of it, it seems like a fairly straightforward system to implement. Then the more you think about how a 'simple' system should handle various scenarios, the more you realise that to actually do it properly, 'just keep a good distance from the car in front' requires most of the perception required for general free-form driving.
The problem isn’t cultural, it’s governmental. It costs america so much more to build and maintain transit that it’s not a very attractive alternative to cars. My state just spent $6 billion on a 16 mile light rail line through the suburbs that’s not even grade separated: https://www.bizjournals.com/washington/news/2021/02/26/purpl....

The DC metro, which I used to ride, is extremely well funded. It’s actually regressed since it was built in the late 1970s, with the automated train control (which used to provide a smooth ride) having to be shut down due to poor maintenance. Headways are now 33% longer than they were a decade ago. (Well even longer now due to covid related collapse.) Trip times are slower—everything takes 10-20% more time than advertised.

Or look at Biden’s build back better plan. Amtrak would get $30 billion and build nothing: https://www.slowboring.com/p/amtrak-should-bring-in-foreign-...

> Because as Henry Grabar points out, while $30 billion should be a game-changing investment in the Northeast Corridor, the actual plan from Amtrak is to spend about $30 billion on one tunnel under the Hudson River.

Americans are not as dumb as Europeans think. If we could build light rail for $30 million/mile like Germany, instead of $350 million per mile, that stupid 16 mile light rail could be a 160 mile network all around the Maryland suburbs. That would be a totally different value proposition. The high costs mean that

I think it does apply to "everything" else. I'd also add I think those interactions are more than power dynamics too. I think you'd agree, I just wanted to be clear.

Yes, I see it as a spectrum with naïveté and cynicism as the extremes as far as a descriptive framework of how the world works and I think I'm near the latter extreme in my definition of it.

Yes, that's why I said defaulting to distrust and skepticism. One should always allow the possibility to be convinced otherwise. There's no way to build relationships or really get anything done otherwise.
No that's how it currently works. What I propose aims to fix that. You must have missed this entire section...

"I would encourage the equal reporting of both positive and null findings. Performance would not in any way be based on positive findings, only that the experiments were carefully run."

Would you have considered the LHC experiments "failures" had we not found evidence of the Higgs Boson? I certainly wouldn't have. What matters most is that important questions backed by sound theoretical reasoning are addressed carefully, collaboratively, openly, and with plenty of long-term support. If we do that, we get genuine answers - such answers represent important information whether or not they support our original hypotheses.
It doesn't feel right, but if it's any consolation there isn't anything super juicy there, plus he pretty much admitted it was him without making a big fanfare about it.
I left quora long ago because of farmed questions. I would like to help people, but I wasted a lot of time answering questions that literally no one cared about.

If a person ask me what's to see in my hometown, I'd answer. But when I see that the asker has asked the same question for every town in the atlas, I know they don't really care about the answer.

And worse, quora actually paid people for this, flooding the site with questions no one actually cares about. They were wasting a ton of good people's honest work with lies, in the hope of extracting maybe 0.01% of the value of helpful people for themselves.
can i make it whitelist instead ? Google results are so bad
Eh, only recently did we really have, in the consumer space, the computational and memory margin to seriously consider spending on more memory-safe languages. Certainly in the 80s through 00s, switching to a language that gave you nebulous "safety" improvements wasn't worth losing even 10% performance. The competition would eat you up over it.

(There were absolutely spaces where robustness and safety were the priority, but those weren't consumer, and their cost reflected it.)

Even today, I'm not sure we have the engineering margin spend on such efforts (time-to-market is still the priority), though I think the pressure is slowly increasing to do it (again, in consumer spaces, which macOS definitely is).
We are past the point when preventing polarization was possible. Now we are near the end of the path one political side brought us, with the other fighting against that.

One side will win and will establish the rules the society will follow for the next decades.

Bad political science + virtuoso use of methodology but unsubstantiated + underlying US centrism

Polarization is a problem when you let a political system polarize. In other words, while in Europe multiple parties represented in parliament are the norm; in the US - a two-party state, naturally exacerbate the risk of polarization.

So, paradoxically, polarization is a problem of not enough variety in the political spectrum. Not too much difference.

Looking from abroad, democrats and republicans are almost the same. And this is the core of the problem, and the deeper root of polarization.
I'm really very curious why you think this might be true. That sounds crazy to me.
My country Bulgaria just had elections. The new government is a mix parties with completely different ideologies, one of them is considered very corrupt, another is considered populist. The thing is that the previous government was turning into one man dictatorship, and none of the other parties on their own could win. Some of the new parties seem to be competent. In any case it would be interesting to see if such model could work. Certainly it will be fragile, and the looming crisis will not help either.
