I am curious as to why you didn't mention the other founders in your post.

"The women who founded the PMRC are Tipper Gore, wife of Senator and later Vice President Al Gore; Susan Baker, wife of Treasury Secretary James Baker; Pam Howar, wife of Washington realtor Raymond Howar; and Sally Nevius, wife of former Washington City Council Chairman John Nevius. "

"The PMRC was founded in 1985, in the shadows of rising political conservatism under president Ronald Reagan, by a group of "Washington Wives" that included Susan Baker (wife of the then Secretary of the Treasury James BakerWikipedia, Peatsy Hollins (wife of Sen. Ernest HollingsWikipedia of South Carolina), and many other Washington socialites (such as Pam Hower and Sally Nevius). Most notably, the group included Tipper Gore, wife of then-Senator, later-Vice President and inventor of the Internet Al Gore, who became the group's most outspoken member."

What you're missing is that NFTs are centralized.

There's only a few marketplaces big enough to make big money on, so those marketplaces will ban your NFT on copyright grounds.

Copyright laws and banned seller accounts, sounds very "web3" right?
> That is not going to make you feel any better if it is your kid who is one of these "negligible" deaths.

True, but that's not a good argument. There's not enough data on the vaccine yet to be rule out the possibility that kids could also die from the vaccine, in some very rare cases. The death rate for kids infected with Covid is so low that we need a lot more data in vaccination studies to determine whether Covid or the vaccine has a higher death rate.

(FWIW, my kids are vaccinated - but not because of the death rate, but because of long covid)
This is a cool insight.

I don't think it is that big a stretch. There's more details in the Verge article[1]:

> They turned the case over to Cole County Prosecuting Attorney Locke Thompson on Monday, December 27. Governor Parson then held a press conference on Wednesday, December 29, where he cited a state statute related to computer tampering and repeatedly suggested Thompson should use it to prosecute Renaud and the paper.

As of the time of writing this comment, that was four days ago, and during the holidays. It certainly seems like charges will be brought unless Thompson chooses to side against the Governor and decline to pursue charges (I'm not sure what the political implications of that would be in either direction.) State statute is here [2]. IANAL, but this statute seems very broad. Especially sections 3, 4, and 5:

>A person commits the offense of tampering with computer data if he or she knowingly and without authorization or without reasonable grounds to believe that he has such authorization: [...] (3) Discloses or takes data, programs, or supporting documentation, residing or existing internal or external to a computer, computer system, or computer network; or
(4) Discloses or takes a password, identifying code, personal identification number, or other confidential information about a computer system or network that is intended to or does control access to the computer system or network;
(5) Accesses a computer, a computer system, or a computer network, and intentionally examines information about another person;

Like, yeah, factually the reporter did examine information about another person without authorization. This law sucks, but it is not a stretch to think they will prosecute the reporter.

Anti-crypto people on HN are always so black and white.

YouTube routinely deals with DMCA notices that are bogus, and it’s difficult for them to sort out whether someone is a legitimate rights holder or not.

With NFTs, it makes that a lot easier. If I have a fake BAYC, OpenSea can determine that very quickly and take it down, regardless of how many intermediate off-platform transactions there have been.

So just because there are still fakes and IP enforcement issues, doesn’t mean that having a verifiable and auditable decentralized chain of custody back to the original mint transaction is not very helpful.
It's no silver bullet, but focusing on the present and moving forwards is the goal, and a tool that can help a lot of people with that is mindful meditation. The thing you want to try to avoid is dwelling on the past and getting stuck in analysing what could've gone differently. Try to forge new memories and a new life to distance yourself from that negative experience. I wish you all the best and hope you can find the way that works for you.

I genuinely appreciate how HN is a place where strangers can make helpful statements like this. I feel safe enough to take this feedback and not be offended.

That being said, you being up an important point that I should have covered for the benefit of other strangers that saw my comment:

I have NEVER heard the audible voice of God. Never. Not once. I have talked to other religious people that I trust - THEY have never heard the audible voice of God.

When I use the phrase "hear God" or "listen to God", I'm referring to a feeling. It is hard to describe without knowing people personally, but I'll try.

In one situation, I was praying for God to teach me before I read the Bible. My thoughts were consumed with a specific friend and a series of interactions I had with him (I was rude a couple of times). I decided to find him and apologize for being rude. He accepted and we went our separate ways.

I don't know for certain if God wanted me to apologize to him, but I'm mostly certain I was supposed to reach out to him.

I've definitely bought my fair share of non-framed art on Etsy, so that is one option.
Another perspective is that the private data was extracted and conveyed by the state website to the end user completely without their request or consent!

I find it reasonable that the government should be held legally liable for introducing users to the hazard of accidental exposure to confidential data.
Thank you for your suggestion. This is certainly a contributing issue when it is the case that I'm using a keyboard with a numpad and a mouse together, but not the only one.

> The price increases prompted an increase of "underground IDs" (known as 'UG's for shorthand)—where multiple users shared a single account that they turned into private bulletin boards by using emails that were returned (and therefore not billed) due to invalid email addresses. Those invalid addresses were the simple names of the person or people for whom the messages were intended. When those people signed in and checked the email, they would find "returned" messages with their names. They would then "send" a reply by typing the name of the first sender, which would also be returned. When that person logged on next, they would see their message, and the cycle would repeat.

This was really interesting, a lot of these I never knew about, like Segment was originally pitched to YC as a classroom tool.

Related, though, perhaps it's just a bit of semantics, but in general, I consider a "pivot" to be where a company hasn't found traction with their current product, so unless they switch they're going to die.

Like another commenter who mentioned Netflix, that feels very different than some of these companies that were just evolving or growing with the market. I mean, in one sense, since technology is always changing you better evolve at some point or you're guaranteed to die. Moving from DVDs by mail to streaming was a pretty obvious switch, and not something that really took Netflix by surprise (though they famously had some major hiccups as they tried to make that switch).

In general, though, lots of interesting and cool stories here!
I hope this isn’t sarcasm, because it isn’t funny. If you are serious, please ask find someone to talk to. If you don’t have anyone to talk to, you have all of “us”.
> I found the idea of a non governmental controlled currency with an upper bounded amount interesting, as inflation can't be a thing.

As I'm sure you would realise if you give the textbooks a chance, deflation is much worse than inflation. Nor is bitcoin truly inflation-less; the prices swing like a yo-yo, it's simply deflationary on average thus far.
I like the intent of these types of projects but a serious question I have is: How do you get the majority of people to switch to something like this?

There are many examples but the most recent ones that come to mind are people trying to get their friends to use Murmur/Mumble instead of Discord with basically near-zero success. I've seen this in a few gaming forums. Anyone attempting this is basically laughed off the platform with the responses like "All my friends are on Discord" and "Discord can do x,y,z can your app do that?"

So in practical terms how would one make such a platform widely adopted?
I think this touches on the heart of such issues. Many people see a big difference between censorship and an obligation to follow certain rules. Others seem to view any rules as a defacto form of censorship. I don't think these positions can be fully reconciled with each other.
As if that somehow confers value or usecase. Most engineers I know think web3 is beyond stupid.

I am truly sorry for what you had to go through, big hug to you and other's here sharing their stories.

I'm sure you already know this, but I'd like to say it explicitly to others that may find it helpful as well -> never forget that life is an infinite display of possibilities, as the saying goes, it ain't over 'til it's over.

You can always start from scratch, there will always be new people/places to try new things with and your past experiences do NOT necessarily define what your future will be like (this goes both ways, so be careful).

Some people make it through extremely harsh life events and, contrary to some dumb but widespread belief, don't come out of it by becoming permanently angry and resented. A big chunk of them become very sensitive and wise human beings, with a strong wish to help others going through similar grievances. Be open to accept their help and advice in times of need. It took me a while to understand this and neglecting it only made my hard times worse. We are a social animal and also remarkably similar to each other.

Best wishes to all on this new year's eve, I hope you get a chance to treat yourselves to a nice moment and company as we start our 2022 together! Cheers!
We kind of moved away from this monolithic setup tho. Oh you can scale-up your hardware like we used to, it will work, until some point. And the day you will need to split your services will come quickly.

This is a perfect solution for early stage projects if you're in a startup or for a personel project, but monoliths are....well....monoliths.
Seems a much better solution would be to let the drivers go bankrupt?

If it's possible for startups why not for cab drivers?

> If I have a fake BAYC, OpenSea can determine that very quickly and take it done, regardless of how many intermediate off-platform transactions there have been.

What qualifies as "fake"? How many modifications would I have to make to the original images for them to count as new art? Because this is a fundamental question in copyright law RE: derivative works and NFTs don't seem to help with this at all.

Is it just blogging? Feels like we're wondering in a broad scale where we're headed, that the heady conversations of previous decades are not as in focus or in scope for where we are.
My partner also works in tech. Between the two of us, and between home and work, we've bought or used probably 25-30 of these over the years. I gave her an M1 air this holiday season! We've had pros, airs, and iMacs in four or five different colors occupying our living spaces for fifteen or twenty years now. We've used them for work and for play, for software development and video editing and graphic design and media consumption.

My verdict is: the hardware is usually GREAT but MacOS isn't. It bothered me when I quit the platform ages ago, and it is still bothering me now: little I care about has changed or improved. New annoyances though!

In aggregate I'd say I've spent ca. 15 hours staring at the beachball. Intrusive admin software has been a problem in the past for sure -- especially at Google -- but I've bought dozens of these for home use as well. Either 90% of their units are defective or we're using our computers very differently.

Terrible keyboards are another thing entirely, Lenovo went through a bout of that with the X1. My gripes about Macs are almost entirely about OSX performance/reliability and command-line habitability: version over version, it almost never improves. For my workflows

Another nitpick this -> "A relay can block a user from publishing anything there, " sounds like censorship to me

We need to realize our problem is not with censoring people, it's with who does the censoring.

We don't like it being large corporations because that's doubly the case.
Life doesn’t exist in clear boundaries. You don’t move on from anything, you are a new you. It took me 12 years to recover from a close loved one taking her life and I got every piece of awful advice you can possibly get. Every piece well meaning, but not from people who understood

If it feels like trauma to you, it changes you. Eventually you will realize that it gave you skills that you will cherish for nobody else has them, but also habits that are no longer useful and you need to retrain

That feeling of wanting to ask for permission is your body and mind’s way of saying ‘maybe you should just sit down and listen before we choose what to do next’

It will take time but you will be stronger for it
Not exactly. It just went away on its own. I’m far more solitary now than at any other period of time. But whereas I used to feel loneliness quite painfully, I no longer feel it at all. I have no other explanation except the passage of time.
Time heals all wounds. Part of it is also to just “fake it till you make it”. Throw yourself headlong into things, and even if you feel like you are dwelling on the past just act as if you aren’t.

I would be lying if I said that every traumatic event in my life has been left in the past. Some things still linger and creep up on me from time to time. You learn to live with it and accept it. Don’t beat yourself up for being human. Take whatever time you need to grieve but try to not let is consume your life and identity.

It really is a skill to learn as you age and mature, and it takes practice.

Does it really matter whether you're in your own house or standing on the public street? The good Samaritan in the analogy didn't go through the open door. They just phoned their neighbor to warn them: "Hey, your door is open, leaving your purse in plain view. You should probably fix that!"

A bad actor would have actually stolen the purse. Just like a bad actor would have used the social security numbers to commit identify fraud. Since neither of those things happened, prosecuting anyone is ridiculous, in both the analogy and real life.
There is a lot of goodwill out there and it works best with community and people we can either relate to or live close enough to in order to feel empathy.

What is remarkable is that doing something by yourself can feel impossible but with just a ffew people to help with time/money/expertise can turn the impossible into very doable!

If we all gave a little more to a few people who are struggling, the world would be very different but sadly some people would rather spend their money on a new iPhone or holiday than investing in someone who just needs a little boost.
The only actual data I saw on your source dated in the past 8 years was something showing that in 2019 alone, 1/7 more of the Germany energy production moved to renewables (doubling its share from 1/7 to 2/7). That sounds good to me!
They also said we'll have to invest hundreds of billions over a decade in rebuilding the electrical grid. Given that the grid keeps setting California on fire, that seems like an investment we'll have to make anyway.
> The students catch covid and (we've known this for a year) usually have mild to no symptoms, but they go on to infect their parents. The dark figure is very high.

I think this is not a good argument:

- Vaccines have been shown to be not very good at preventing infections, especially a few months after the last dose, and even more so with newer variants.
- As far as I know, most virologists say that infection is inevitable. Vaccinating kids can delay the infection, but not prevent it.
I haven't overcome loneliness but I have come to better terms with this feeling than I had in the past.

I now understand that it's a state that arises from time to time. And then passes. And arises again. It's also a feeling that can show up in solitude or a crowd.

Many of the ideas suggested here have helped me but one more than the rest is the company of a person who listens sympathetically. This has helped me understand what loneliness, in its myriad flavors, might mean underneath. As an adult this person has been a trained therapist. As a child it was a loving grandparent. Some weeks it's also my meditation partner from a retreat a few years ago.

I've come to appreciate that loneliness really is universal. We are far from alone in feeling alone. And this time of the year can be particularly hard on many of us; faced with unending pictures of seemingly perfect family unions.

Reaching out to someone, just like you did today, is a great place to start. I hope you feel at least a little less alone now. And I'm confident there are many, including me, who've benefited from your choice to ask your question today. Thank you for connecting us in this way.
