> Wouldn't the author be different if you just minted a copy?

The problem being described above is the possibility of the trusted author minting multiple digital signature NFTs for the same content. A reseller can't create a copy because they can't sign a message conferring ownership from the trusted source without their private key.
Yes. I moved because it's good and hybrid. I would probably move back (or anywhere else) if it was fully remote.
They kinda already do at this point. It’s inevitable that they would do this considering that they’re business is powered by the same fuel: software developers.

Honestly I think this is a good way to create more competition in the advertising space which is currently dominated by Google and Facebook.

At some point some “smart” executives are going to decide it’s better to cooperate rather than compete… that’s when consumers get exploited. Which is why the threat of regulation is important.
I suppose using something like a smart contract could maybe help with the trust issue, although perhaps only with relatively tech savvy users for now.
Funny thing those audiobooks. I am very biased. Audiobooks make me aggressive and I want to stop playback. Something always bothers me:

- Not the exact and therefore perfect reading speed as the voice in my head.

- Tonality of the narrator's voice not to my liking. Or wrong emphasis or weird intonation... etc.

- I can't skip text to find the important stuff.

- Whatever else comes to mind.

Audiobooks easily put me in the opposite state of "relaxed" and I retain only my bad feelings but zero information.
I'm always wondering why Americans allow their lawmakers to get away with this.

In order to stop robocalls, you just need to do three things:

* Flat out ban them and make it illegal to route them at network handover points

* Make caller ID mandatory with a reachable number to call back to

* Create an authority caring for those robocall reports

Then, put heavy fines on violations and go enforce the heck out of it. That's exactly what the EU did pretty much in the infancy of this technology.

I can't recall ever getting a robocall here in Germany.

That being said, my bet is this being a tragedy of the commons, as the only two parties in the system seem to heavily rely on the tool for fundraising — oh and they probably also make millions for some selected members of congress... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I read an article recently which claimed that the majority of transaction volume is not speculation, but scams, fraud and similar. Like e.g. pyramid schemes.

And that is where an average football fan needs crypto, to provide more monetary volume for scams and speculators manipulating the marked to siphon of.

Or at least that was the take of the article, I'm not completely sure in either direction.

A NFT is just a digital receipt, and there's nothing that ties the receipt to the original creator or work except for a bit of text that the person creating the NFT has full control over. So they are effectively worthless for determining ownership, especially for copyright purposes.

The "non-fungible" part refers only to the receipt, not the original work.
My first thought was "vintage Facebook" actually — back when it was called _the_ Facebook and open only to university students. The wall was a beautifully chaotic thing, basically a text file to which all your friends had read/write access. Definitely no web sockets involved, though.

That doesn't match my experience in the slightest - I've been on a remote team for almost a decade now. Most of the team moved when they got the chance, as do most new hires. Some move to the mountains, some to the ocean, some to rural homesteads, others to different cities, or simply to the home they want instead of the home dictated by their commute. A few have moved again over the years when they change jobs, but we're talking less than 10%. Even as most of us have all moved on from that original team, we still live where we choose because remote jobs are even easier to find now vs. a decade ago.

You are right about one thing - my grocery shopping is now 15 minutes away instead of 5. As I sit at my desk, looking over the countryside and watching my boys play in the snow while the birds flit about my window... I'm 100% satisfied with that trade off.
For timescales of ~6mths (depending on where you are in the year) yes, for right now outside our budget... possibly not.

I think it would be cool if there were more options in the "programming language backends" space like LLVM. That way you could create custom programming languages that focus on the syntax/QoL features that fit your idea of a "dream" without having to worry about performance since it's uses a known highly optimized backend.

And that point is wrong. The IRS just wants you to pay your taxes, period, end of the story.

I think we should stop here. If you would tolerate people taking a weird Christian sect’s propaganda as legitimate for public school educational instructional materials, the gulf between us it too wide.

The “white supremacy” verbiage in that document is a religion and not based on facts. I get that seems okay to you, but it is no different than any other religion masquerading as truth, none of which are appropriate.

I do not believe you are responding in good faith, however.
In the past I had a website with hundreds of gigs of data that needed updating regularly, but could be read-only from the web server perspective.

I used sqlite for that, and had a mysql server for the user data and stuff that needed to be written to. Performance was fantastic, users were happy, data updates were instantaneous ; copy the new data to the server then repoint a symlink.

Most of my work is modeling and simulation. Sqlite is almost always my output format ; one case per database is really natural and convenient, both for analysis, and run management.

Anyway. Sqlite is amazing.
At least in Canada it would be consider pretty uncouth for a civic worker to make what they would have to make to compete. Personally I don't agree with this, however, if my farther learned a software engineer at the post office was making $200k his head would explode, he already wants to defund the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, also a crown corp. My understanding is that our national defence and spy agency pay quite well by Canadian standards, but that's about it for government jobs. Our crown corps also happened to be big fans of using students: https://www.lcbonext.com/
> Crime is to Democrats what climate change is to Republicans: an inconvenient truth best ignored.

I think you mean “the actual fact of the downward secular trend in crime is to Republicans what climate change also is to Republicans: an inconvenient fact...”

The difference is that Rs have more support from centrist corporate capitalist elites in and out of the media on crime than on climate change.
Masonry heaters and catalytic converters/secondary burn chambers are somewhat unrelated. The masonry heater forces the exhaust gas to keep as much of its heat inside the indoors as possible. An efficient stove produces a very efficient reaction to burn its input fuel, creating higher temperatures and cleaner exhaust gasses. The masonry heater is a solution meant for a time when folks didn't know how to cleanly/hotly burn wood. The two methods (efficient wood stove and masonry heating) can be combined for even more heating efficiency.

The problem with masonry heaters is that they require the house to be built alongside the masonry heater (e.g. you need to run the thermal mass inside the house so it can convect heat into the house). The thermal mass required can also be very expensive and/or labor intensive to make. Moreover cleaning a masonry heater and maintaining it can be a large pain depending on the size of the thermal mass.

Catalytic converters have been in widespread use for automobiles since the '70s (that's ~50 years) so they're pretty proven technology now. Secondary burn chambers are even older (early 1900s I believe.)

Not only that, it seems to actually have. All the developers started saying things like this:

> I also did not test the libquadmath portion. ENOTIME.

> I don't have much time, but

With every statement they added. It's actually like clockwork, every developer after that point said how they had little time.
Good old "make depend". If only it didn't add a significant overhead...

I feel sad that this beautiful thing has been usurped by shysters, grifters and scumbags. Web3 is decentralization. Not crypto, not blockchain, not your shitcoin, not your mining and most definitely not your NFTs.

I don't have an educated answer for your question so I won't offer one.

But I think it is making it more confusing that you conflate left, liberal, and progressive. They have some overlap and shared meanings but are also different things.

The "everyone has a right to be heard" thing you mention is specifically a liberal value. Others may or may not subscribe to it to varying degrees but in my view it is core only to that one.

Scandanavia is pretty firmly liberal from what I can see. I mean just the other day here there was a good conversation about how the entire wealth of norway is based on nonrenewable resource extraction. Not really anything leftist about that.

Less liberty really as the ability of corporations to intervene in your life far surpasses the capacity feudal states had on a day-to-day basis.

I think this is partially due to non-stable political leadership. The gas crisis could be eased by opening the valves for Russian gas - this was the plan of Merkel's CDU party. The new government has a strong green touch. For some reason, the Greens ended up in the foreign affairs ministry (instead of in the transportation ministry, which would have been an excellent fit but is just not as "fancy"). Now we have green foreign politics which lead to further tensions with Russia, no North Stream 2 gas, hence, the gas crisis will likely continue. Instead, "dirtier" LNG gas is imported from the US, but the Green Party made its point.

Regarding your third point, the argument I've heard for it that I sort of understand is if you're living under a crazy dictator (or other less than stable government) who has ruined the local currency and you have no other way to store or transfer your hard earned money. So you resort to crypto.

We’re talking about Apple, one of the most valuable companies in the world, sat on over $100bn in cash just “going away”, in what, the lifetime of a laptop? For me that’s 3-5 years, for others maybe 10. That’s an absurd premise. The probability of that is so close to zero it doesn’t bear consideration.

The amount of space in a Bitcoin block is around 7 TPS.

Other blockchains make decentralization tradeoffs to process more transactions on-chain per second. For example, Ethereum requires better hardware: larger storage, better CPU and more memory. Solana makes even larger tradeoffs: expensive server hardware costing up to $25000, making it pretty much a central service controlled by the few.

The key innovation of Bitcoin is the decentralization; almost anyone can participate and no one can control it. Sacrificing this for negligble is not worth it. Especially since there are smarter ways to scale the system. Even if you could improve throughput by 100x by making the system slightly less decentralized you would still not reach VISA levels of TPS.

The correct way to scale these systems is using off-chain solutions like the Lightning Network. This way you can process millions of transactions per second.

This is a great summary of that state of the world of programming languages, 2021. It goes through a number of language features that have taken off, and which have moved the space forward over the past few years. I think a language that addressed all these points (even if "address" means consciously doesn't support), would be a very interesting language!
That's a problem I see, too.

A lot of things are far less decentralized/federated in practice then they claim to be.

It's not uncommon that some of the points why something is federated or even decentralized are only there in hypothetical scenarios (let's say in theory) which just don't happen in practice. Not because they technically can't, but because there are no marked dynamics insensitiveing it (probably more the opposite).
Anything "web scale" without gatekeepers is immediately colonized by criminals, neo-Nazis, redpill edgelords, pedophiles, and all other such manner of people who are always looking for a new place to exist after being kicked out of every other one.

According to the study itself, the evidence is _not_ clear:

Again, I disagree. This box is here so you can be charged with a crime or have their proceeds seized. They do not expect anyone to actually pay it because who in their right mind pays taxes on stolen goods? Nobody.

Exactly the same number of people as pay for narcotics tax stamps. [1] The only people buying them are stamp collectors.

> In a report discussing a (failed) 2008 proposal by New York’s then-governor Elliot Spitzer to institute a drug tax stamp program in his state, the New York Times noted that “almost no dealers” actually buy the stamps, adding, “the vast majority of revenues from the tax are collected after law enforcement officials seize the drugs.” [1]

If drug dealers aren't buying drug tax stamps, shoplifters aren't reporting their stolen goods on their 1040.

In fact, this NYT article spells it out.

> “It’s really about cutting the drug dealers off at the knees,” said Ms. Smith of the tax administrators group. “It kind of goes back to the Al Capone model.” Proving tax avoidance is much easier than proving a drug crime, she said, so the tax laws help the authorities keep seized drug money even when a suspect accused of dealing drugs goes free.

Yes based on the history of Silicon Valley other factors are also important. Some of those include: proximity to multiple high-quality research universities, laws that generally prohibit employee non-compete agreements, and generous funding through military-industrial complex contracts.
Ask HN: What do you consider a founding engineer?
I keep seeing ads for "Founding Engineer" jobs, and right now I see an add for #2 Founding Engineer.

In my mind, a founding engineer is someone who holds at least 10% of the stock or has at least 50% as much as the founders, if they have less than 20% each.

What is your definition of a founding engineer? It seems like most of these ads are just using the term for an early hire.
I think the requirement is a bit vague. I'm assuming an HTTP call, and that the rate limit exists on the server. Given this, there are two different error conditions: 1) the request makes it to the server, is counted against the server-side rate limit, but fails for some reason. 2) maybe the network is down, the server never sees the request, so the failure is not counted against the rate limit.

I opted to assume all failures are of the first type, which means my code should also behave as expected, but will be slower when encountering failures of the second time.

I'm actually curious, I think it would be easier to change my code to handle both types of errors, but I could be wrong since I don't know the scala stuff you are using that well.
Thanks! I'll look into this in combination with https://nullprogram.com/blog/2013/02/06 the next time I try out Emacs.
It was a loud small minority of taxpayers complaining about the books. Many of the people going to the school board meetings don't even have kids in the district or live in the district. The districts have processes in place for parents to request the district to review books available from their libraries. These people chose a different route by showing up to school board meetings, yelling at the board members (I know a few board members who have received multiple death threats), telling board members "karma is a bitch and it's coming for your kids", and in general making a mockery of the whole process.
So, I’m a complete ignorant when it comes to planes, but I do have the habit of giving folks BOTD and so I was wondering a few things:

1. How experienced a pilot is this man? Is he a very junior novice or experienced such that this should be a non-factor.

2. I see lots of folks mentioned hardwares in the comments - would a vintage craft (80+ years) be lacking good maintenance or equipment?

All in all I think he needs to release full footage otherwise he isn’t actually helping anyone as he claims to hope to. At the same time I see lots of armchair quarterbacking on what should have happened - but having been in high stress situations (fist, knife, and gun fights) in my life your reactions are never what you expect from the comfort of a computer chair. I’ve also witnessed as a software engineer very “senior” folks with loss of experience make amateur choices in no-stress situations - I cannot imagine the “oh shit this plane is going down” stress.

Wish someone would have a good layman explanation instead of showing off their personal knowledge.
Doesn’t C just do whatever the underlying hardware does for modulo w negative numbers? I have always worked around this by adding N to numerator:

r = (i + N) % N

which handles cases where i >= -N which is mostly what I run into when i is negative.

I remember Ada having two different operators REM and MOD which I think is the best language choice.
