Leaving aside the discussions around PKI and necessary centralization in public/private key authentication I've seen this web3 debate a couple of times now.

It starts with "web3 is the second (third?) coming of the internet and will revolutionize everything".

If you ask for proof or use cases the very first comment is: "You can log into Twitter using a public/private key pair"

These are two very different statements. So even if you assume there is advantage in public/private key auth it is still nowhere close to an internet revolution.

Imagine the PostgreSQL team had praised the JSON data type as the revolution of the internet and disruption of all industries as we know it. It's a useful feature and it is used by a lot of companies but it has zero impact on everyday people. And Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal are certainly not writing about it.
Interestingly that has kind of moved upstream to a design phase consideration in modern times due to the incredible depth of understanding we have about materials. Structures can be designed such that their expected loading will not stress fasteners beyond their ‘yield strength’, which is well characterized.

Fatigue complicates the analysis, but we understand that too nowadays, although that is an understanding forged by many unfortunate consequences, such as: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Airlines_Flight_243
It's exactly like that on the Windows store.

The Windows store is locked down completely on my work laptop and I don't miss it.

The database for the Windows store gets corrupted periodically on my laptop making it impossible to and I rarely miss it. Whenever I've complained to Microsoft about it they tell me "create a new account and waste a day of productivity setting up all the software I actually use". I tell them "I know there's a procedure to rebuild the Windows Store database because it gets rebuilt and fixed whenever I install a feature upgrade -- tell me how to start it!"

HP used to make me install a program to use my scanner from the Windows Store which was why I used to ask Microsoft to fix the store. I got an Epson inkjet printer for which all the software is ordinary Windows software. Sent the HP printer to the reuse center.

At some point HP and other co's are going to get the hint and drop the Windows Store.
Yup, and to complement, a very important technique is to design platform-specific layers such that they call the (portable) application code - not the other way around. The more typical approach is attempting to find abstractions for I/O and other platform specific facilities that can be implemented by all targeted platforms. The issue with that is that it is very hard to really make use of the platform this way, or even implement all abstractions for all platforms without quirks. If instead the platform layer calls the (un-abstracted) portable application code, there is no code that needs to be pushed through misfitting abstractions.

I learned this approach from Handmade Here / Handmade Community and it's probably the deepest architectural lesson I learned anywhere, while it seems to be not widely known. I'm almost tempted to say that the conventional approach is wrong and misguided. However, an issue with the platform-calls-code approach is that the code usually can only communicate asynchronously with the platform (one of the issues with code-calls-platform is the one-shot synchronous nature of function calls). That might not work always, for example, I wanted RDTSC counters or Copy-Paste functionality, and I still do this by finding a platform abstraction that the code can call into directly.
Life doesn’t work that way. We should try to prioritize the use of valuable and finite resources to those things we think are most valuable to society. Usually we leave that prioritization to the free market, but we also sometimes have to take corrective actions to prevent misallocations that would be harmful or destructive to society, the planet, or the human race.

There’s a whole encyclopedia of free-market failure modes that’s worth reading up on. For example: https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/knowledge/ec...

Agree with this. Acknowledge-Forgive-Learn.

What worked for me a few years ago:

1. Drop any goals you have outside of work. One day at a time.

2. Allow for extended idle time. Allow yourself to just "be".

3. Do what feels right in this idle time, which in my case was:

- Spend lots of time in nature. Take walks.

- Write letters to people involved in the matter. I didn't send the letters.

- Meditate
No throttling as far as I can tell. When using 16 virtual cores at 100%, each core tops at about 3Ghz (probably due to power limits). Temps creep up to about 68, fan goes on, and it stays there.

> I've never seen or experience anyone who would be ADHD or for whom one would that they need to take some medication.

You must then accept that you are ignorant. By comparison, I have seen and experienced children and adults who, without medication, would be unable to live remotely functional lives.

> What I'm trying to say is, if a child is full of energy, go outside with them and let them run around, don't give them medication to suppress that energy.

You demonstrate a lack of understanding of ADHD, so I would recommend further research before commenting in the future. It used to be a common misconception that ADD/ADHD was just being full of energy, but that's not remotely accurate. Briefly, there are two dominant classifications: primarily inattentive and primarily impulsive (or hyperactive). There is also a combined impulsive/inattentive. I am inattentive. Among my numerous issues likely related to ADHD, I have trouble falling asleep and waking, I will stay up far too late reading. I make bad decisions when unmedicated, and I am unable to effectively wield the concept of time. Letting me run around as a child would accomplish nothing.

> I'm not certain what it's called but, it's better to prevent then to cure. It's better to prevent getting cancer then to cure cancer. Or in other words, would you rather prevent getting cancer or get cancer and then cure it?

Sure? But you're now assuming that ADHD is environmental, which I don't believe to be the modern understanding. It's likely hereditary.

In any case, I found your comment quite disheartening.
Squarespace is fairly good for this - I made a website for my parents' pottery that you can see here: https://thebyersstudio.com.

Right so this is where smart contracts come into play. There are crypto wallets that are based on smart contracts which encode logic that allow people to "recover" their wallets if they lose their key by having some N of a selected group of trusted friends sign off on switching it to a new key.

That is why this was impractical before: we didn't have a neutral/decentralized layer to remediate practical issues like this.

As you pointed out plutonium is indeed in alpha emitter rather than gamma. It's also extremely heavy and oxidizes on contact with oxygen. It's not the kind of substance that's going to blow around.

I do respect your opinions, and I didn't want to start hysterics. But the mind goes wondering how all this happened, and where it could lead: a simple grass fire turned into one of the most destructive fires in Colorado's history within hours. That's not something that anyone was prepared to have happened. The mesas here were supposed to act as fire breaks, not fire starters.

I hope you and your loved ones - as well as your neighbors are safe. I'm glad to hear the news of your neighborhood being spared.

They literally can. One just has a different blockchain provenance than the "original" but they are otherwise identical. The only thing giving NFTs value are people's belief in the value, making these a hilariously ironic fiat system.

Your comment seems to imply that non-asd folks entering tech are just in it for the money. Between the general popularity with Video Games, the changing Hollywood image of hackers (Neo, FSociety, Pied Pipper), the hero worship of Steve Jobs/Elon Musk, and the general societal acceptance of all things STEM we have a lot of people, especially young men, entering computer programming out of genuine interest.

Determining private medical data or motivations for a population is hard to do in any ethical empirical way.

I'm not sure this issue is significantly worse for SSDs compared to other drive types, except once they get really old and are close to EOL as defined by the amount written, though I'm happy to be proven wrong if you have some references where the theory has been tested.

If you are really worried about that, perhaps artificially stress one of the drives for some days before building the array so it is more likely to go first by enough time to replace and bring the array back from a degraded state?
Without money / currency, how do we reward people for their contributions to a project? How do you quantify the needs in "to each according to his need"? If one day a person wants to throw a party, how will they obtain the materials? But if they try to throw a party every single day, someone has to account for this, no?

As for private property, I have written about this before -- I believe that private property, like government, is an institution that relies on threats of force to be enforced, and restricts people... but that on small levels, it's good and as the level gets larger (owning 900 houses vs 9 houses) the courts should simply enforce it with less and less force: https://magarshak.com/blog/?p=208

> The history of private money is one of repeated disasters that destroy public trust

We are talking about crypto currencies, right? This guy is living in the world where the private bank in charge of how many US Dollars get created are holding the assets driven up by their decisions? This feels like a satire piece. How exactly is Bitcoin or a network modeled after it subject to private control? That's never explained, because its a complete farce.

Really anyone piling on to this should be embarrassed, as someone whose confidence in their knowledge of crypto currencies grows with every thread I read on HN, and believes in the vision, I could write a much better hit piece than this - the difference of course being that as an optimist who sees the problems, I invest in the solutions. Its no wonder someone with such a warped view of the space sees no value - he's trying to find his car keys through beer bottles.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn Mr. Diel's has some short sell positions against various cryptos. I wonder if HN understands the significance of that bias...

There is no such thing as harmful information. Only actions can cause harm.

>I don't really like the framing that the reporter is framed for using "view source". This reinforces the idea that the people responsible for this are just uneducated. I'm sure, at this point, someone already explained them.

I don't like the framing either, but for different reasons. From my reading, the journalist is being targeted for reporting the vulnerability or perhaps for exploiting the vulnerability- I'm not sure.

To be clear, most websites have some disclaimer that says "don't use this website for unauthorized purposes". This is deliberately vague and includes "don't use SSNs that we leave laying around".

Should the website leave SSNs laying around? Definitely not.

Should the web site owner have the strong arm of the law come smashing down on them? Absolutely.

Should others use those SSNs? Definitely not.

If the journalist saw the SSNs and then did nothing, leave him alone. If he did something with them, charge him. If he reported them, and he is being harassed for reporting them, then write an article about that.
So what’s the free port equivalent for NFTs? Or are they just not bothering with that step?
I’ve seen many cars accidentally driven with the hood open but caught by the safety latch at highway speeds.

I imagine either regulations and/or good engineering makes it safe to drive with an open but latched hood considering that you can pop the hood while driving by accident.
> This is what I don't really get about NFTs.

As usual for people saying this, you do get it. Anything whose bits do not literally live on the blockchain cannot be decentralized via blockchain; the need for a centralized oracle makes ownership of the NFT's linked asset a centralized affair.
I'm using them, both with my Android phone and on my Win laptop. I experienced two issues tho.

First one was that you can't see a charge percent by default, but I managed to fix it by installing an app from Play Store. Second one is that sometimes, when they connect to my phone, volume somehow glitches, so even if it's on the half the strength, you can barely hear them.

1. Improve my development skills. As a security engineer, it's sometimes easy to fall into a rut where I don't write code often enough. I need to find projects on my own that are interesting enough to push me.

2. Keep training combat sports, especially with my son. It's been a great bonding experience, and those can be hard to find with teenagers. It's been great for me too. Need to train intelligently and ensure I can recover from training.

3. Read books at times other than the night. I usually only read for an hour or so before bedtime, but this makes some books take forever to finish. I fear my house will be filled with unread books before long.

4. Keep trying to be the best dad, husband, and human I can be. Long way to go here.
This isn't a solution to your problem, but I slowly fostered a relationship with my distant brother and father (who I had a right to not forgive) over several years. Loneliness is a strange thing to conquer and it's more of a state-of-mind than anything. I'm the "same" lonely as I was a few years ago. What I mean by that is that I still don't have friends in the city I live in, but mentally, I'm very satisfied because my brother or dad are a call away and that keeps me from falling into that sadness.

I guess what I'm saying is, you stop feeling lonely when you're confident you have a few people to lean on.

Pursuing meaningful relationships is very difficult and it's often easier to build on an existing foundation such as a blood relative or old friend. A lot of people will tell you to make new friends or go to a meetup, but it's really really hard to find people who will stick around and not turn into shallow acquaintances.

Once you have one or two people you can cry to, the loneliness feeling evaporates. That's what happened to me, anyways.
Dealing with the embassies and consulates during COVID is a nightmare. I was separated from my fiancée for 15 months due to consular ineptitude, mainly driven by higher level government policies on COVID. They even held my fiancée's passport, a non-US one, for over a month, which prevented her using the passport to travel to other countries to get back into the U.S.

I've described it as intentional incompetence. We couldn't even sell her car due to lack of government support in terms of policies, so we were forced to pay for a car and insurance for a car we didn't want and wasn't being used.

And I would say that COVID didn't start all this, it just gave these agencies another excuse. Even my application for Global Entry has been a nightmare, where it's been practically impossible to schedule an interview. I tried getting my application reviewed sooner by contacting the department twice before traveling back from a foreign country, because if you've been conditionally approved, you can interview upon return at the airport. I had applied like seven months before this international travel. I contacted them before leaving and then another time before I was coming back. They responded saying that there's nothing they can do, that I just need to wait. Well, they conditionally approved my application literally one day after I arrived back in the U.S. Since then, it has been impossible to schedule an interview, unless you want to drive eight hours and trust the appointment will be upheld, and they don't accept walk-ins. I've basically thrown away $100.

I think you may find it helpful. It has a practical use case that builds up an intuitive
model to a new monad. It goes through a few solutions for a stated problem which solve increasing requirements and eventually coalesces into writing a new monad as a complete solution to resolve all the built up requirements.

> How would any non-domain specific tool (ie a voice recorder app for real estate or even real estate in PR" even know what "opportunity" means.

> It could do a loose keyword match but unless you used the words "Tulum" or "Evan" how would it know to link notes together without context on who Evan is?

Does it need to know? Fairly vanilla NLP can provide the data to categorize (or index) by identified parts of speech, such as verbs, proper nouns, etc. If you have a large enough pile of notes, categorizing or subcategorizing by combinations would be useful.

There are pitfalls, such as lacking sufficient context for disambiguating between identically named people (eg. your sister Mary vs. Mary from work), but that doesn't negate the utility of such a feature.

Further refinements for association and disambiguation would be highly contingent, but that very contingency can be modeled with Bayesian classification (or more advanced attentional mechanisms) that learns when to apply them. For example, a bit of sentiment analysis could help associate Mary (that you're often mad at) with the words 'project' and 'report', but Mary (that you like) with 'barbecue' and 'holiday' for clustering purposes.

These supplementary techniques necessarily operate on 'small data', and the real challenge is finding natural UI flows and affordances to suggest them to the user when appropriate and solicit feedback without overwhelming.

I've come to the horrible realization that the trauma part of the brain runs on some sort of 10 year cycle. I'm not a doctor but it must be some sort of memory/function/process that the brain slowly modifies over the course of a decade before it decides to move it out of daily use to long term memory. There doesn't seem to be anything you can do to speed it up either.

I realize the label "Libertarian" is used by a lot of people to make themselves look more virtuous by signaling that they value liberty but it is a stretch in my eyes to equate authoritarian-minded people who merely desire the state to not interfere while they gain massive wealth and power, often over other people, and genuinely anti-authoritarian people (however delusional or misguided) who would just like the state and other authoritarians to not bother them or others.

I'm not a libertarian but have known plenty. None were very wealthy, nor did they want much other than a bit of land, and a small business.
