"Blockchains don't solve this as Ubisoft can control (the view around, as well as other parts) this new database however they like." But why does this have to be Ubisoft's blockchain? Why does Ubisoft get to be the only portal in this scenario.

I expect NFT-represented games/content will find new portals which will permit access to the underlying IP regardless of who issued them (as they would meet some standard the same as ERC721 represents a generalized NFT).

I think it's interesting that all of the (*most vocal) blockchain nay-sayers do not appear to "zoom out" quite far enough. Or, arguing in good faith, they see some way this does not work that I'm not seeing but are getting stuck at the earlier points without fulling describing their criticism.
Let's lift it out of insinuation territory, then: I think you have an underdeveloped sense of respect for personal liberty and I think that if you won a victory on this front it would embolden you to continue chipping away at other liberties to further your circle of control. People love crusading against vices because the feeling of moral authority is heady and addictive. One hit is never enough.

The concept of liberty is how we rein in this dark tendency.

Except the first 2 are examples of human error. You are supposed to follow the instructions, and the instructions tell you to carefully read the instructions which I have done with multiple 'manual' antigen tests. They're crystal clear. With regards to these 2 examples you can ensure decent lighting with a smartphone (torch) these days. Incorrect timing, can also be solved with a smartphone by setting an alarm (or just focusing on say letting 15 minutes pass as a matter of respect to the outcome and those possibly affected by it). We already got a swiss army knife in the form of a smartphone, we don't need another disposable technology (nevermind insecure technology).

Realistically, employers are simply seeking to reduce the number of applicants down to manageable levels. When you have 1,000 people lined up at the door for a job, you cannot meaningfully evaluate them all and need to find a mechanism to quickly eliminate most of them.

Once people leave a structured environment (home, boarding school etc) and live 'on their own' even if it's just a dorm room, then tend to act as one who has been leaning against a post, and you take the post away suddenly.

> Run time generally gets a bit worse each time for each newer version of Ruby, with 2.5.7 most often being the fastest except for Ruby 3.1.0+YJIT.

This surprises me. I thought Ruby performance got a little better over time. But it gets worse?

--

I'm not complaining. I use Ruby almost daily (alongside Rust, Python and JavaScript) and Ruby performance is, and has always been, terrible. In practice that is hardly ever a problem, though! Especially since I use it in places where development speed is far more important than runtime speed.

However, I only rent for vacations and I may be blind to the what the average renter demands/expects.

6th Grader Saves the Lives of Two People on the Same Day
To help foster growth, kids need a person that encourages them when they fail, keeps them from trouble and bad influences, disciplines them when they make bad decisions, helps with their mental health, and encourages them to learn and grow in whatever interest the kid enjoys.

Not all children have access to this kind of role model. And even if they do, it's not a guarantee, just a more favorable probability.

School is so strained that it can't be this system by itself. Good teachers help, but they're transitory, and typically not available after hours. And very few care in the same way a parent, grandparent, relative, or adoptive family would as they're not as deeply invested.

Other children can be horrible influences that can make a child depressed, angry, lose faith in themselves, and take up bad habits. Kids need to be shielded and told that the pain they experience is temporary, that life holds promise, and that the problems they face can be overcome.

It's a very hard and important problem.

While Wilson's extreme position on nature over nurture is certainly open to question, Gould is not a good source to be referencing (and the extreme position of nurture over nature you describe is at least as much open to question). Evolutionary biologists may be "divided" about Wilson, but they're pretty firmly negative about Gould's work in that field. See, for example, here:

http://cogweb.ucla.edu/Debate/CEP_Gould.html

Btw, Wilson was well aware that humans are not insects. He is the one who said of socialism for humans, "Great idea, wrong species".

While the standard library documentation is non existent, using grep on it and just reading through it is very easy, compared to almost any other language I have used.

I would actually say this is preferred: it's early days, so the documentation can't go out of sync because it doesn't exist, and library maintainers are incentivized to write understandable code, which most people who are getting into the language are forced to read, creating a consensus of what is considered idiomatic in the community.

But it’s so common that a ton of furniture explicitly comes with screw-into-wall equipment explicitly for this edge case. There has been enough public pressure from a few number of tragic and very preventable deaths that now lots of furniture comes with this or instructs that it’s recommended to do so. I consider wanting your child to be vaccinated to protect against the edge case of severe disease to be within the same category: society broadly allows for great protectiveness for children in the case of easily preventable death.
I would add that it’s fine to track something very important in an expensive and manual way, you can simply do it less often (e.g. weekly)

> Lucene actually uses memory mapped files, byte buffers

How do they cast raw memory pointers into Java types? In C, you just cast a void pointer to a pointer to intended type, and voila - that piece of memory is interpreted as if an object of that particular type resided there. Is anything of this sort possible in Java?

While I kind of want to give a snarky answer of "actually, buying an ebook without DRM is exactly as easy as it is as buying one with, the trick is just finding one without DRM," the truth is that this is dependent entirely on the publisher. I buy a lot of technical books from Pragmatic Programmers, which are all DRM-free, and I believe they're not alone in that. My small press fiction publisher doesn't use DRM; Tor Books, the biggest sf/fantasy publisher, doesn't use DRM, either. People who self-publish through Amazon are given a choice whether or not to apply DRM to their books.

So, no, it's actually quite possible to buy a DRM-free ebook. The question is whether the book you want is available without DRM.

> I'm open to the possible existence of the paranormal, but I do not trust it at all and would question the intentions of such entities.

I think you're already making a mistake in thinking about it as 'entities' and 'paranormal'. Liber O vel Manus et Sagittae sub figura VI has a great bit about this:

> 2. In this book it is spoken of the Sephiroth and the Paths; of Spirits and Conjurations; of Gods, Spheres, Planes, and many other things which may or may not exist. It is immaterial whether these exist or not. By doing certain things certain results will follow; students are most earnestly warned against attributing objective reality or philosophic validity to any of them.

Which combined with the Mathers/Crowley Goetia gives more insight into a different perspective:

> The spirits of the Goetia are portions of the human brain.

Would you question the intentions of parts of your own brain? :) Maybe! But this gives a pretty different perspective on them than external 'entities' influencing you. In the end, all that matters is that note from Liber O -- by doing certain things, certain results will occur. Whether it is external entities or parts of your own brain is kinda irrelevant to causing results.
> In the U.S., this is due to the fact that employers practically may not use proficiency exams

What do you mean here?

I'm a life-long US resident and I've never heard such a thing. I've also taken exams when applying to jobs. There is also the civil service exam which is a prerequisite for many government jobs. Jobs like the police and military have exams, both written and physical. I can't square my experience and your statement.

More likely, employers do not want to pay for additional exams as part of the hiring process and use college-degrees as a proxy. But there's nothing preventing them from using exams if they wanted.
