I use Discord for remote work and it has something called Krisp noise cancelling that works as incredibly, if you're interested in other clients.
i care, there is an old saying, absolute power, corrupts absolutely. it is almost never a good sign when power is centralized among a few actors.

online, offline just in general. democratic societies formed knowing this, but there is a will to power among certain people who will at any cost affordable to them will try and become the center focus of attention.

you see this in mega corporations eating up smaller companies in order to centralized power and indirectly control the market.

in the same way, actors use money to pump into traditional and social media in order to influence the masses or part of the masses to sway towards their agenda. which may or may not benefit society.

media is very powerful especially if the transmission is consistent in messaging, and broad as well. meaning coming from many angles to achieve said goal or agenda.

it can be very intoxicating once the scale tips towards the agenda, then social pressure or peer pressure to fit in takes control. it's a very odd thing to observe herd mentality from an outside perspective and almost instantly hammered down and framed as a negative thing to those who are entrenched within conditioning.

i believe transparency is the only way we can subvert mental coups, if we know who is funding what then we can consciously ask why and then maybe, just maybe we will become enlightened of an atrocity before it is too late.
.txt is a factor. It makes input much faster than note taking apps and is much easier to search.
I think they are called tile editors.
The word 'artificial' is similar but not quite the same as 'fake'.
Someone needs to tell the North American market to not make everything the same tone. The alerts in California are almost completely ignored now because they use it constantly for Amber Alerts/Silver Alerts.
Not quite so. You have to account for javascript support or lack thereof, cookies, and other tracking techniques employed by popular services and generally absent on these frontends. VPN by themselves will only "hide" your IP address.

But the underlying idea is that now that we can calculate the average individual growth rate, we actually should use that to ask questions about how the wealth of individuals grows, rather than using growth rates that correspond to concatenation of different times of different peoples lives together as if they’re swappable
I would have probably assumed it was an American spelling (as a Brit). Certainly wouldn't have bothered me too much.
99% of the value of StackOverflow for me as an older developer is just finding workarounds to bugs in platforms/APIs/tools that people have run into before me.

Example:

Compiler throws error 0x19822943 on what looks like valid code. Googling the error code along with the compiler name almost invariably returns stackoverflow results near the top, so I look at the post(s) with answers and see "Oh yeah this is a known issue, upgrade to version 1.29 and it goes away".

For all the issues I have with the site it is still pretty great for these sorts of problems that should be covered in the support documentation for whatever it is that failed (but often isn't -- or isn't in a way that google is likely to find it easily).
All value comes from labour or nature, which is trivially provable by comparing an enterprise's inputs and outputs. The outputs are most obvious in terms of the prices of sold commodities. The inputs are either capital (materials, etc.) or labour. Since materials & machinery have to be paid for in full and there is still something left over as profit, that value can only come from paying workers less than the value of their labour.

The rate of profit has a historical tendency to fall, as companies are incentivised to produce cheaper by automating. This reduces the proportion of costs attributed to labour, which means either reducing wages or reducing profits. Since workers will resist being paid less than they can survive on, profits end up falling over time.

The rate of profit does get reset by destruction of capital (like wars), just like the labour theory of value suggests. This can be seen historically, using data collected by mainstream economists. You can find such graphs in most economics textbooks. Here's some more on the topic https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2020/07/25/a-world-ra...
How exactly does it boot.

If you do something really stupid and somehow fry your SD card in your Raspberry Pi, that's fine because you can always pop in another SD card. I wouldn't want to accidentally burn out the internal storage on this tablet and have no way to replace it.
This is great. It's important to recognize what iteration we’re at and stay humble with respect to the development of meaningful virtual / in-game assets.
Just like with the economy, basketball rules are arbitrary, under constant revision.

There might be a physical constraint to the current ruleset. When that becomes a problem, someone(s) will just update the rules.
Interesting spin on the ad hominem, but I just mentioned what I know about since I live here. Anyway, we're talking about private debt; and while Italy has a huge public debt, its private debt is quite low.

BTW, right now US treasury bonds have a higher 10y yield than Italy.
A MJ rookie card is worth a lot because it’s MJ, the best ball player of all time.

How is a NFT drawn by a random artist of a random image worth so much?

I do something similar, but use a Sqlite DB! I have some views set up to view today's to-do items, etc.
You see that it was minted by Wallet X, which the artist has confirmed is theirs. The image it's pointing to is irrelevant. You're buying a unique digital signature.

Is it inherently valuable? No, but it's scarce. There's only one such entry on the blockchain and it can only be owned by one wallet at a time.
always read the discussions; and the different answers; and any answers linked to too. and check the date too.
My state has some of the best libraries in the world and the only requirement to get a library card is to reside in the state. That's a big geographic boundary. Once a person has the card, a lot of interlibrary loan and online borrowing possibilities exist.

I imagine a for-profit library would be largely frozen out of our interlibrary loan system and all the reciprocity involved in membership, but... maybe not? I don't know, but I suspect that this model of deprofessionalisation is going to be limited to libraries in small towns and municipalities.
Not surprised that this is the top comment, it seems to be the overwhelming sentiment on HN, which is unfortunate. My perspective is that it's very early for NFTs and the large majority (you included) are fixating on what you're seeing in the space today, or put differently, you're being shortsighted.

Mark your comment down and revisit it in a few years, having an opinion on the sidelines is just fine. Now let the downvotes commence.
Definitely true, but sometimes the lack of sane tooling makes it harder to follow rituals. I used to use the same format as the OP in a text editor, but struggled with the daily grind of copying items around and carrying over todos from the last day. Paper is much better for this, but messy (even with scanning).

In the end I wrote a small tool to assist with starting each day with a blank journal and all remaining items from the last day. Syntax is primarily markdown. Everything stays in a single text file.

I can't speak to the engineering side but I will share my general travel-sickness tips:

First, there are quite a few different types of motion sickness foods and supplements. I get good results from ginger, like ginger snaps or this candy called gin-gins. I also tried a raspberry-flavored motion sickness aid and it worked great. Your local medical professionals or specifically audiologists or ENTs may be able to suggest some other good ideas here.

Second, activities and locations within the vehicle seem to make a huge difference. I would try: Not looking down at anything if possible. It helps me to look generally toward the horizon, out a window. I would also divide my time between walking and sitting, and change facing directions frequently, paying attention to what's working and what's not.

Third, I would take full advantage of debarking at all stops and even schedule a layover or two if possible.

Fourth, sleep seems to help some people skip over the worst of the event. I would personally try a sleep supplement like melatonin.

Finally, please do check with train travel professionals. Good luck and happy holidays, I hope it can be tolerable or even enjoyable for you.
Let's be realistic here: there's no need for NFTs other than fear of missing out, and money laundering.
I want to be excited about Web3 and feel I'm missing something, given how many smart minds are. But every time someone talks about NFTs on a podcast I feel there are many questions not answered.

For example - Kevin Rose has minted 1000 NFT's for "membership" of his podcast VIP group. Users had to pay ~3 ETH (~$12k) for each one - but he hasn't yet told them what the benefits of holding will be, when they'll come, and how long they'll be offered for.

As a user, I might be prepared to pay a membership for these benefits (being able to cancel any time) - but why would I risk $12k up front, having no idea what I'm getting? What incentive does he have to offer beyond the bare minimum to sustain his reputation?

The only way it makes sense is if it's about pure price speculation. Can anyone enlighten me on how this is progress?
You’re entitled to your opinion and there’s no definitive answer, I suppose, but I just googled: “Is fashion art?” and virtually every result on the first page said yes.
Just wait until they shut all of A16z’s crypto startups down…
A card that people want to collect in your example is scarce because it cannot be re-created with the same properties that the ones that already exist have; all one could do is create a replica.

NFTs are artificial scarcity ahead of time with the purpose of emulating ETFs, hidden behind a fake 'new' concept of a digital deed (which is what a blockchain already is, no need for NFTs for that). Digital 'goods' however, are always replicas. There is no 'true' version. All they are is an attempt at monetary manipulation of people during the time in which they aren't as well-known and regulated as ETFs are.

> though I hear Teams is a close second

UI polish aside, Teams + Office + Outlook was the best experience I have ever had at work.

Now I'm forced to use a mishmash of Zoom, Slack, and Google, and the friction between all of them is just maddening.
I don't mean to downplay people's problems, but this very much depends on the car, your local climate, and your ability to spot problems before they become serious. Lots of Toyotas out there that you only need to budget oil and tires for, and the occasional strut/brake pads/spark plugs as needed every few years. And there is plenty of information out there on which used cars are more reliable and how to spot parts that will need maintenance, if one is resourceful enough to search for it.
Collecting and sharing massive sets of data on people has a societal cost when that data leaks and is used to target individuals with identity theft. Stalkers abuse these datasets to find and attack their targets. Data breaches are especially common in the ad-tech, marketing, and sales industries because they are largely unregulated and exist to collect data on millions of people at scale.

Not all users of anonymity services are people who have a choice in the matter. And if you're not currently a victim of stalking or identity theft, why invite attacks by openly sharing personal information? It's a personal risk calculus, and everyone's needs are different.

- 622 million leaked email addresses, employers, geographic locations, job titles, names, phone numbers, & social media profiles from PDL [0]. According to the PDL website, the purpose of this data was for PDL clients to "supercharge [their] software with over 3 billion profiles. Tap into the resume, contact, social, and demographic information for over 3 billion unique individuals, delivered to you at the scale you need it."

Fairphone have an analysis on their complete supply chain, of every component. Lots come from China, but more interesting: components of components have a source too, raw materials too, as does travel.

An example of the latter, Fairphone used trains to move the assembled smartphones to EU. Those trains moved from China through Russia, dven during and after Crimea conflict and MH17 disaster.

Its a shame I don't have a link handy to their supply chain infographic. It is so detailed, includes all corporations and locations, that it would warrant a HN submission within its own. OTOH, they yet have to make it for their recent product, FP4.
Have you seen a Newman painting in person? The image of Voice of Fire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_Fire) on Wikipedia is completely unremarkable, but it's actually very impressive and powerful to see in person. One of my favourite pieces of visual art. A lot of people like to shit on abstract art and color fields as "a toddler could do it" but there is technical skill and artistry on display. Keith Haring's art is also very simple but powerful. Personally I don't get the same feeling from a shitty iPad drawing of a monkey with some photoshop layers swapped around.
I am a professional artist and I have to disagree with this. Once creative work becomes the thing you spend a large part of your life doing, you cannot rely on just sitting around waiting for inspiration.

Creative workers regularly discuss the ways to get ourselves to work when we feel a total lack of inspiration for something with a looming deadline, as well as ways to create conditions where some kind of creative inspiration is more likely.

There is also the fact that sometimes "inspiration" can lead to a long process, I am finally nearing the end of a multi-year process of grinding away at drawing a comic book that came from the simple idea of "what if I told a story from two sides, with the characters changing designs to ones that scream 'Good Guys' or 'Bad Guys' depending on which side we are currently following".
If you live in an area with frequent earthquakes, yes.

I live near the New Madrid. There aren't frequent earthquakes here at all, but historically when we do have one... it's a big one.

My needs are pretty simple, but I just do server-side logging in a Django Middleware. I wanted to use a tracking cookie to track a user across the site, but I had a hell of a time trying to figure out whether that violated the GDPR, so I just log the user agent instead.

What really is the major gain to a big third party analytics platform when you really just need to know how somebody moves through your site, what the hot and cold paths are, and what influences retention and revisits?
Redirector and Privacy Redirect, among others, can be used to rewrite the original links to your instance of choice.

I've been thinking about a unified squid-config or something like that - if the user trusts the TLS cert for these specific domains, it could be quite neat.
If we're steelmanning the argument, then I think you'd have to ask what makes an NFT of a digital artwork by a famous digital artist worth so much.
https://archive.md/NBYHr
I had this opinion too, but if you think about something like trading cards or any other “limited” collectibles that were mass produced, rather than one of a kind art, it’s sort of the same thing with regards to artificial scarcity.
Is there a managed service that does this? A Dropbox-like UX that client-side encrypts everything and then persists it on S3 or the like. I don’t want to fiddle with it myself but I’d pay for that kind of service
Digital errors are due to the clock. They pull the voltage down on each clock tick. Then all the circuits use power, and then everything settled until the start of the next clock tick.

This error is high frequency with a huge number of harmonics (square wave), meaning it transmits as a radio wave very effectively, propagating the error to be correlated on many different analog parts.
The most interesting aspect of NFTs IMO is that they explore what ownership really means.

Is it physically possessing something? Is it a receipt? Is it provenance? Is it the ability to destroy something permanently? Is it the ability to deny others access? Is it irrefutable and verifiable proof, without trusting any single entity, that an entity holds an exclusive status relative to a good?
Next up should be a replica replica service for when popular replicas become to expensive.
>I have to be honest. I view NFTs as one of the dumbest things to come out of the crypto space.

This is so obvious to me that it is tough to stop myself from believing that everyone knows this and is just ignoring it in an attempt to make a quick buck. There are much better arguments for cryptocurrency. I happen to think they are generally overvalued and overhyped, but there is also real utility at the heart of it that people can believe in and project forward. NFTs seem to be stupid all the way down.
>You want to make the choice for others, which is clearly worse.

No I don't. But there is a consensus that certain people can not make such a decision i.e. kids and I think that is correct. I dont want to decide for them at all. I just pointed out who should not make the decision, a non-mature person who has a very limited view on the magnitude of the decision, has zero medical expertise on the topic and is possible in a very complicated mental and emotional state.

I also pointed out that statistically speaking some strategies cause "collateral damage" and other don't. While each case has to be looked at individually one should not ignore the fact that contrarily to people wishes, no swift medical treatments are probably favorable.

>You're also confused into thinking that the school is encouraging one option when the article doesn't even suggest that is happening.

No. I'm not confused and that's not what I'm thinking or said.

Beside that, separating people by letting them joining different alliances is an absurd way to prevent violence.
There may be some hope, but I would not bet on it. Indeed, I can imagine this very thread resulting in a miffed security researcher uttering "challenge accepted" and finding a way to break it. Again, that is not something I would bet against, given enough time and eyeballs.

That said, I greatly appreciate this kind of effort, and I will probably even look into using it for small embedded projects in the future. My pessimism about security track records does not block out my optimism that we can and should do better, and this sounds much better than some other alternatives.

> independent of any ledger

This seems an arbitrary restriction to me. Why must something be independent of a ledger to have value?
Since they're minted from a different address than the original they're not a replica aren't they? They're a different token.
I don't see how promoting artificial scarcity is going to become a good idea in a few years. Just because the implementation is shit nowadays doesn't mean we should be happy to see better implementations in the future.
A bubble inflated by people rich from crypto-currencies.
Partially agree - but people have been excited about e.g. smart contracts for the last ~5 years, yet which consumer or B2B apps are using them now?
When Web2 came along, Gmail, Maps and Facebook were immediately exciting and obviously better than what came before. How much longer do we need to wait for those Web3 killer apps, that appeal to users who aren't purely in it for token price speculation?
Probably worth noting that his criticism comes from someone that builds systems and yours as a user.
I had a same problem, but GA is only the tip of the iceberg. A lot of apps with analytics capabilities have usability problem. In some, metrics are hidden too deep and it's hard to navigate. Others lack simple features and do not let you change things like timezone or displayed currency. But the biggest pain point for me was integration with data from other apps.

To simplify things I am building Raport[1]. Raport integrates metrics from multiple sources (GA, Search Console, Stripe, Adsense) and displays them in clear and simple to use dashboard. It is not an alternative to GA and other tools, but rather works alongside them as an additional interface, where you can view all your data. For me personally Raport saved me a lot of time I spent in GA and Search Console.

Private schools are far superior to public schools and often cost far less. Private prisons are almost a non issue - they're a minuscule amount. Take a look at what the California prison guard union does - advocating against criminal justice reform to maintain large # of inmates. I'm against private prisons, but don't let it crowd out the real issue which is public prisons.
If you like old adventure games, filfre.net is an amazing blog to follow. The entire backlog of articles is great to dig through. Edit: I’m currently in the middle of a playthrough of the game and also have the article open in a tab. :)
You check the contract address of the collection. These replicas will point to an image url, but will not be part of the NFT collection that was launched. By their very nature, these only replicate existing NFTs, so the earlier NFT is clearly the provenance.

I guess one important thing to understand in these discussions is who exactly are you worried about?

-The original creator?

-The initial purchaser/minter from the original creator's collection?

-The person that currently owns the item in that collection?

-The replicator?

-The replicator that tries to sell a replicant?

-A future buyer that is trying to figure out which one to buy?

These are all distinct people with distinct realities. But people arbitrarily talk about a random one of these market participants as an indictment of the entire NFT concept, when each one is experiencing something unique that is either the same as the existing art world or better. Out of all 6 market participants, none of them encounter something worse than the non-NFT art world. Out of all 6, some of them encounter something better.
