Thanks for asking. My business model has always been larger than just mining ETH. I'm focused on building data centers for providing decentralized compute to all these web3 applications being built today. Mining (aka: being paid to validate anonymous transactions) is just one use case. You see all these articles about how a dApp went down because AWS was down? I'd like to help solve that issue. It isn't just about renting out servers or virtual machines. It is about providing compute in a way that nobody realizes where it is even hosted. True "cloud" in my eyes.
This is in fact one of the best arguments pro to do the change:

* Chrome destroys ad blocking

* Advanced users now suffer the same internet as everyone else

* Advanced users will find a solution, and that solution can't be chrome anymore

* This starts an exodus of advanced users .

* Advanced users configure the browsers for everybody else, hence everybody else also joins the exodus

The end result is less of a monopoly.

This is the same mechanism that ultimately killed of IE and moved everybody to chrome: The monopoly of the time got so arrogant they didn't listen to their users, so users fled to a better alternative.

The strange thing is, groups of people have more or less the same tolerance for abuse, know their limits have already been violated for a while, and learn alternatives from each other. As a result, It takes a long time of abuse to trigger an exodus, but when it started, it starts everywhere at the same time. Then the abuser tries stopping the exodus by rolling back only the last change, but that's not enough anymore.

Interesting analysis of what's driving startup valuations higher.

TL;DR - digital adoption means rapid growth is now easier in more industries and product categories, allowing for more aggressive revenue projections across the board.
I think it's one of those things that many don't realize that they need until they have it.

We're so used to financially being controlled by authorities so it's deemed normal. Governments can tax you however they want and that is "normal".

Coming from an extremely corrupted country/government I know how taking control of your assets is important, which web3 aims. To which extent it can succeed is another question though.

> the major stumbling block has been how tailwind is mostly just css translated into its own hard-to-memorize lingo.

This is the only problem of tailwind, it relies on its own lingo, as all the OOCSS/BEM projects. When you involve semantics, you will always bring these kind of problems.

I covered this problem and I solved it with this approach http://minid.net/2019/04/07/the-css-utilitarian-methodology/
The equipment can be affordable depending on how you structure things. For example, there are opportunities like the Molecular Foundry user program [1] which provide grants for the costs of running experiments on expensive machinery. The main trick is having a specific enough question to answer that you can define how the grant would help you do so.

There are also community initiatives like BosLab [2] which are more similar to maker spaces in structure.

Old-school microwave ovens; one knob for effect, one knob for timer (which implicitly starts the microwave), and one button the open the door (which implicitly stops the microwave).

Today's modern microwaves ovens have _horrible_ UX. I talked to someone a few years ago who'd worked at an oven manufacturer and told me that UX people aren't involved in designing these ovens anymore; the process is entirely driven by marketing departments requiring more buttons, weird sliders, digital UIs and other ridiculous features - all to increase sales and convince people they need a new microwave when 99% of people really don't.

But then you aren't really throwing "random noise" at it are you? It's more like you are throwing generated data sets with abstract structures at it, and use the randomization part to ensure that it does not overfit on other accidental structures that might be in an individual image, because the randomization ensures that there are no other structures to speak of in the "average" (which does sound like a very sensible way to train a network on abstract structures). Or do I misunderstand the method here?

This is a strawman. Signal doesn't have to reconsider its stance on privacy, but due to network effects Signal does have to worry about market share or otherwise it will be back to being a niche app. Remember that Signal wants to improve privacy for the masses. It does not attempt to protect individual people targeted by any of the three-letter agencies.
Great, but take the example in the article. I roll in with my heavies and at gun point force enough of you to vote that the contract was complete even if it wasn't. You can't engineer people away and when you try you've undoubtedly missed something.
Logical people by definition do what is logical. You seem to have assigned tribehood to a group you call "the logical people" who behave illogically. Without a mental ideal of an actual logical person, how can you ever aspire to behave logically yourself?
Nice post, though the title evoked another idea: visually representing the tech stack used in repositories.

But maybe we don't need a glorification of complex stacks.
Thank you for this reply. It demonstrates exactly the mindset of those few FP die-hards that I have seen wrecking havoc in a couple of companies where I worked for.

I'm not saying FP is bad, it is actually really powerful when it is in the hands of those who understand when and how to use it.
The problem with the attitude that you demonstrate in your reply is also not limited to FP: in the era of OOO, there were those that spread the evangelism of design patterns to all places regardless if it made any sense; before that in the 90's there was a group of programmers that liked to generate code until no colleague understood anymore what was happening.
And when you tried to tell them that abstractions don't come for free, but with a cost because they make code harder to understand, the answer for the last 25 years has always be the same, although rarely said straight: that it was only hard for -you- to understand, and not for the enlightened master himself.

I have seen more projects fail because of too much unneeded abstraction than by all other causes together. I even have seen companies go almost bankrupt because of projects engineered by lone wolfs where nobody understood the abstractions anymore except for the designer himself, and at some point he himself not really anymore either.

And the problem is that this mindset continues to be cultivated by CS books and conferences. Few people want to read a book that tells them that the secret of being productive as a team depends on mostly the culture in the team and the simplicity of the code, and not on the latest hyped framework, language or paradigm.
You would either need an arbitration service or an oracle for that. Look into Kleros and Chainlink.

Thanks for the answer it’s very interesting to see how the infrastructure spin off of mining could lead to more conventionally useful hosting. So in some sense you intend to be multi-region without the eye watering data transfer costs?

> I have a feeling that YC companies (and other well connected) get money thrown in their general direction now a days, all they have to do is ask.

If twitter is any indicator, it seems like the Replit co-founders are actively mentored / coached by pg. Amjad, the founder CEO, even called pg "his manager" at one point. This leads me to:

As someone who went through YC and met PG while he was still actively running it, I can tell you that at least in our batch he was 100% spot on about who was going to do well. He had a tendency to spend his free time with the same individuals who ended up doing phenomenally well. It would be easy to be dismissive about this and say something about doubling down on his best investments, etc. But during our batch many of those companies had not yet become the clear cut winners that they are today, and instead only turned into them a year or so down the road. One of the best companies from our batch is Flexport, and PG had been super impressed by Ryan Petersen even before he was officially accepted into YC.

It's pretty clear in hindsight that taking note of who PG was hanging out with was a very investable strategy. In fact, one of my batchmates had some money to put into other companies in our batch, and when he asked me for my opinion of who to invest in, that's exactly what I told him. I just did some quick math and would estimate that his ROI today is somewhere in the 1,000x range.

Still not giving the other side and using "dangerous" and other "think of the children" terms triggers my bullshit and what are you hiding detector. And the only thing vouching for them is their reputation.

Speaking of reputation EFF has been doing this shady speak for last few years and my respect for them is quite diminished. I suppose they can still do it because they have practicality a monopoly to "protect privacy online" with Apple being a distant second player.
Sure, but don’t act like it’s better when it’s not. Just admit to people they can’t have the better option so they should just deal with it.
Leaving this place better than you found it.

> Many available options seem to be based on manual annotation

I’m not sure there’s an alternative: if a reference to an other text is complete (and thus fully disambiguated) it’s reasonably easy to infer it, but if it’s only partial and thus ambiguous (e.g. Article 54) then it becomes a lot more problematic: what happens legally if the system misinterprets the reference (e.g. to the current law’s article 54 but nearby contextual clues made it clear that it was some other text’s) and the reader follows this misinterpretation?

pip-tools predates PEP621 by ~5-8 years, depending on how you count. So yes, it "ignores" it.
If X really assumed «facts don’t change people's minds», X would live in a false and defeatist world image.

If X assumed that 'facts do change people's minds', again X would fool himself and need more accurate representation and tools.

Incidentally: the article (also) fails to point out clearly, "some people do not actually care about changing their mind (irregardless of facts, and even of tribe)" - inner statuses are so important to them, that not even tribalism shakes them.

Of course the point is with defeatism, and its absiological and practical consequences: if one gave up (consequences), or resorted to paternalism (other bad consequences)...

But do not forget the pars construens of TFA: "to change people's minds, there can be better strategies".
Thats the natural reaction to decaying law and lawlessness. Thats how human societys have upheld basic contract-stability for ages. Thats why every societal collapse regarding law functionality results in a moral outrage about sexual depravity and moral decay.

Its a hardcoded mechanism. Female selects in males for reliable, reproduceable emotions against the sexual deviants in all shapes.

The group is at the same time ostracized and integrated in some shape or form as religion. (Rainbow-religion atm).

This builds a very fragile basic three power pillar which allows upholding basic contract law.

Not integrated deviants or hostile elements (pedophiles) are then persecuted, to re-establish lawfulness within society. Its all happening on a instinct level. The actual deeds or the victims are strangely irrelevant.

Important is the re-establishing of the "third" pillar to stabilize society. As long as there is a "pope" like figure, able to make the powerful crawl around its castle, the crimes against the weak (children) are strangely irrelevant to this circus.

The progressives will yell against this, but in the end, all that change is the decoration and the mythology, the base functionality of this, remains the same.

Sorry to post this, for to know it and to see it, is misery. And yes, this is why you get told those little stories and outrage-bits and your emotional reaction is so important.

Its just a subconscious behavioural service server check. To have the powerful act against their own interests and establish law, a hack and a hook is necessary.

Nothing personal in all things personal.
Custom user styles might work on Chrome, but on Firefox mobile, it's an atrocious experience. You need to install the nightly version, set some hidden developer flags, create a addon collection with your user account on addons.mozilla.org and type the collection ID in the settings of your mobile browser.

In other words, you can't really do it.
I think a platform like this is as impractical as you are thinking. However, there are potential other things you can do by mixing centralized services with decentralized ones. You could create a forum like hackernews that utilizes traditional infra but restricts access to users that hold NFTs or something similar. Think of something like a Patreon type deal where access to the service is tokenized. I've been kinda thinking of stuff I could do with a NFT project I've been working on and it's a thought I've been bouncing around.

There's no way I'd want to create something that is similar to what you're thinking, because it's pointless as you are thinking. Nobody would pay for this. Also messages such as these have no reason to be on an immutable blockchain. But you can certainly create specialized services for people that support your projects using ideas like this quite seemlessly.
I think we should expect EFF being on higher moral ground.

That's kinda what we are paying them to be, no?

I don't really know what's going on here, so to clarify... it gives "simple checking example"

nslookup mydatahere.a54c4d391bad1b48ebc3.d.requestbin.net

but when I run that in my terminal I get the response

;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 83.146.21.6, trying next server
Server: 212.158.248.6
Address: 212.158.248.6#53

** server can't find mydatahere.a54c4d391bad1b48ebc3.d.requestbin.net: SERVFAIL

And nothing shows up in "received data" on the website.

Is that expected? Should I be running the dnsbinclient.py they provide? (I don't have the websocket module installed right now.) I did run `curl a54c4d391bad1b48ebc3.d.requestbin.net` before the nslookup, could that have made a difference here?
Haha darn, I thought it was but I played it safe and just copied the parent comment.

PEP621 literally includes how Poetry lists dependencies as a synonym for the PEP's "dependencies" section. Poetry does, in fact, adhere to PEP621.
I believe pipenv (not pyenv!) is also a viable option for correct versioning, though I'm not actually sure whether it or pip-tools is more actively developed these days. Last I used pipenv though (~2 years ago), it was a nicer virtualenv + pip-tools combination, but had worse version resolution / less useful verbose output for no apparent reason (since iirc it shares tons of code with pip-tools).

Putting that aside though: yes, 100% pip-tools or an equivalent (which pyenv is not). It's the only sane way to both freeze dependencies for reproducibility, and maintain upgradability. I've used pip-tools for years on many large, complex projects, and it has been a huge benefit every single time. And it routinely revealed significant library-incompatibility problems that teams had only luckily dodged due to not using feature X yet, because pip's resolver has been so braindead for forever.
No, but the market seems to dictates support for payments. And if you want to support payments while preserving privacy, what options do you have other than looking at crypto currencies?
Still a prototype, yet could be a viable and affordable product with a little work.

Agreed, and what did we get? dogmatic decrying of how OOP is completely useless and objectively bad, not too dissimilar from some of the comments on FP and Scala on here.
That is certainly true. But the problem with stroads isn't merely one of esthetics; they're expensive and inefficient, and they exist primarily because everything is designed around suburban car owners who want to do everything by car. They're completely inaccessible to anyone who can't afford a car. Stroads are themselves elitists because they exist for people who don't live there, don't care about the neighbourhood, about accessibility for others, or how much economic or environmental damage it does, as long as they're not inconvenienced by it.

Old city centers turned into massive thoroughfares destroy the communities that live there. Whole communities get sacrificed for affluent car owners from the suburbs. But this is not just harmful for poor people, it's also bad for the economy in general; they're inefficient, cost too much money to maintain, don't make enough money, so they require constant influx of subsidies, and this sort of development has lead to the bankruptcy of several US cities. It's not sustainable from any perspective.

The first Nested Kanban Board ever
> That post feels like it approaches "conspiracy theory" levels of leaps

While I don't agree that there is conspiracy going on, Replit's co-founder, amasad's post on entrepreneurship from 2016 kind of explains why his tweets outlining his outlook for the future of his company may come off as that:

I view entrepreneurship as means of reconciling the infinite and finite. You venture into your imagination, gather knowledge, and dream about a better world. But you have to bring some of that back to earth. You take a step -- no matter how small -- towards your imagined world in the real world.

This is not a one time thing, it's a recursive process. If your imagined possibilities became real then that's your new "finite". The process restarts and that's how we make progress.

...

I see this as the perfect framework for the work we do in technology. There is always a tension between what is and what could be. There are people and organizations who are stuck in the status quo (the finite). On the other hand, there are folks who are stuck in the what could be without any actionability (the infinite).

Taking a step into the infinite could be hard, but the hardest thing of all is bringing something back to the finite. The real art is coming up with the smallest possible task that can be done here and now.

Isn't the main driver for this that data science is new enough that companies don't know where the competitive edge is? And by default, the data is confidential.

Software modules are commoditized at this point. Just pick building blocks and spend all your time on tying them together in ever increasing complexity. Curl (and similar tools) clearly is a commodity, but that web scraper that gives you the ability to compare Apple to Orange in real-time, that may be what gives you the edge. And the first-order analysis of said data is even more likely to be what lifts you above the competition.
I don't understand your reasoning.

The only thing ST says here is "let existing suburbs be what they are", which sounds like what you want as well.
