There are plenty of opportunities out there, with large corporations, that would allow you to grow as a developer, learning useful production skills as you go.
You might have undiagnosed social anxiety disorder or something like that which causes you to internalise a lot of unhelpful stuff.

The good part of that however is that there are already some good clinical approaches to that which seem to have high success rates.

If getting yourself a psychologist is an option to help you put together a plan I’d recommend it. Trying to figure all of this out on your own without a proper sounding board is almost certainly going to make it a much longer journey with a much lower chance of success.
I think p2p techniques are distinguished by being "serverless," that is, you don't publish content to someone else's device, you host your content on your own device and people have to connect to your device to get your content. Peers talk directly to other peers. In nostr and other client/server models like mastodon, you publish content on someone else's server and if you go offline people can still access it.

The difference with nostr is lots of redundancy -- you post your content to like 5 servers so that if one goes down you're not really censored, people still get your content and -- in your list of relays -- you replace the censorious one and then your followers update where they follow you at.
This is something that VCs are pouring vast amounts of money into, and that a vocal contingent is insisting is The Future. That probably makes it relevant enough.

I once triggered my domain account and PC intranet connection to be disabled because I started a Linux ISO download via BitTorrent. I didn't get in any trouble. Assuming this is even real, it's obviously just an example of bad management or there's more to the firing than what's being said.

Indeed, in many cases the takeaway is that the greater public just isn't interested in what these individuals are saying. If it were, the personal sites and small uncensored platforms you mention would be sought out by it, but with few exceptions that practically never happens. Even with platforms with the potential for limited/no content moderation like Mastodon, the bigger nodes with less polarized demographics tend to be those that moderate their content. It's almost impossible to build a healthy community on a platform where anything goes.
The natural gas pipeline industry had it's regulations changed around '85 that made it so pipeline operators had to let anyone use their pipes. This meant Enron didn't have to actually own pipes. They could just buy and sell natural gas from the wellhead to the refinery. They made a lot of money doing this. They then tried to copy that to anything else that can conceivably move over a fixed, expensive infrastructure like electrical power lines, broadband lines, water pipes etc. They wanted to be in heavy industry with an "asset lite" model.

The Enron physical pipeline business still exists as Kinder Morgan as Enron sold it off because they didn't want to deal with the physical infrastructure anymore.

Everything else was just financial engineering.
NFT sites like OpenSea not doing anything to fight stolen art is a massive problem and the artist community has very little recourse.

As for your last point, it only ensured privacy from the poor. Privacy was always invaded by those with means like paparazzi.

You started that they were making an exception to "[on the ground rules] where a street, a street name, a city, a city name etc. are determined by who currently has control on the ground".

This falls under criteria #3 on the linked page[1] and as far as I can tell is being done with the same "on the ground" rule that OSM has always used.

The exception you're linking to is relevant to what country relation and similar data structures Crimea is in. The usual application of the rule would be to have it Russia only, but it's in both Russia and Ukraine.

Almost nobody who uses OSM ever has to deal with country relations, so implying that this is some major policy change is blowing things out of proportion.

It also seems like the least bad way to mark up the data to me. To the extent that geopolitical borders mean anything it's in fact the case that Crimea is still to some extent Ukranian, even though Russia has "on the ground" control. I.e. various other countries have sanctions etc. in place that recognize that that's the case, as opposed to the rest of Russia.

If WWII happened today wouldn't the most useful thing for OSM to do to still have say the Channel islands in the UK to some extent in 1943, and under Axis control? I.e. to have overlapping claims of sovereignty, and simply add disputed/occupied relations on top of those?

Have you ever tried Bluetooth File Transfer for anything substantial? It's snail speed in the real world. Nothing like AirDrop. It's almost unusable in 2021. A video would take minutes to transfer.
One thing missing here, but talked about (albeit not very clearly) in the video is that it’s not even a tension indicator, but rather, extension indicator. As long as we are in elastic regime, tension and extension are the same thing (Hooke’s law). However, once you go beyond it, tension goes down even as extension goes up. This is what the canuck meant when he talks about people tightening the loose bolt by giving it extra tweak, around minute 3:40 in the video. Once you leave the elastic regime, the bolt holding strength is permanently reduced, and by periodic tightening, sooner or later you’ll see it yield altogether.

I am astonished at the adolescent boy level of gee whiz rationalization, here. The damning aspects of Web3 are barely being mentioned because of the emotive appeal to scary corporations controlling you.

Web3 does not solve the problem of being bullied or controlled. It makes it worse. You can dislike Facebook, but it is a legal entity that the state can hold accountable. Who is held accountable in Web3? What recourse does anyone have if things are published about them that harm them in Web3? Russia created a well-funded agency to troll the web and manipulate public opinion. It seems to me they will love Web3.

Entities that will vie to control Web3 will be rich, powerful, and better protected from legal moves against them.

We already have a decentralized web. It called the Web. Anyone can connect a server to it.

> The biggest lie I have seen across databases is actual time travel for your data. Or in other words given a date and time in the past it gives you what the data was then.

I worked at a company where we built this for our internal HBase clusters. Given any timestamp (or even better a commit ID) we could restore the cluster to that point in time. This was done through a combination of backing up the store files + write ahead logs. As I recall we had a retention limit for how much time we could do this for - but they were high enough for all of the "oh crap" moments.
I think this is a problem that’s easier to solve than you think.

Let’s say an artist creates a minting process, which contains a click through contract granting you legal rights to the image purchased, the right to make derivatives, etc., which rights transfer always to the holder of the NFT.

You now have a legal contract granting the NFT holder all IP license rights to that image. If there are 300 intermediate secondary transactions, and then I buy the NFT, make a derivative to exploit commercially, and get sued, my defense in court is simple: (1) here’s the governing IP license terms and (2) I own the NFT which is easily proved on chain. That IP license, by the way, could even be embedded on chain.

I can think of lots of examples like the above, where you can leverage some offchain system (like an IP license) with an on chain one, so that you have real world rights to an item but also benefit from easy and auditable transferability.

Again, just because NFTs do not solve all problems (eg you still need an IP license) does not mean that combining the two is not a real and useful improvement.
That sounds horrible. Hope you get this resolved soon.

I take it that you did not look at odds ratio. This is probabilistic analysis not if-then-else. With no use of risk analysis this is an emotional judgement, not a logic based one.

???!! What part of the analysis did you disagree with? It was super straightforward.

> it was about 5k ea of active/placebo, and on the order magnitude of about 100 cases for placebo and 50 for active treatment.

These numbers are straight up false. The placebo group had at least 10X more infections than treatment group.
I recently learned from a loading screen message that Discord has almost the same origin story as Slack. They were making a mobile MOBA called Fates Forever but pivoted when they realised how poor the current systems for communicating in games like MOBAs are. Unlike Slack though, I don't think code was shared between the projects.

It was not meant in a rhetoric way and I didn't meant to discredit anyone. If you got value out of it, that's good.

HN has a rather critical approach against NFT and crypto space - not the technology, but the market - and I completely agree. The article bothered me a bit, because if we spend time on short-lived stories like this, we'll spend less time discussing on what's actually there to criticize. Giving to much attention to drama like this is kind of (passively) down playing the real problems. However, what I said with this paragraph is not to be given too much weight. It just rubbed me a bit. I'm not outright anti.

AWS and competing clouds are a non-starter for anything resource intensive such as processing lots of data (needs tons of CPU/GPU) or serving/moving lots of it (needs tons of bandwidth).

The costs are bearable for early-stage startups that are mostly typical web applications with little resource requirements, or bigger startups that have so much VC money they are happy to burn it, but beyond these two scenarios clouds are very bad value for money.
The speed of Bluetooth is also a solved issue by an alternative PHY mode. It works, it's a solved issue.

Most of them use group-policies and other software to install root-certs onto company devices. HTTPS won't help you with MITM in that case.
The initial post mentions FUD and top-level management, so it's possible management associate Tor with dark net drug dealing, CP, and assinations and so on. Non-tech people aren't likely to have heard of Tor in any other context.
That's only true if you choose to introduce a global namespace. There's nothing requiring you to have just a single such catalog of users as long as the canonical reference is the pubkey any more than the contact list on my phone requires you to name people the same on your phone.

(and in fact on reading the protocol specs, they do have a way for relays to publish mappings [1] . EDIT: and that would seem to make it possible for crawlers to crawl relays to assemble non-canonical catalogs fairly easily).

There are downsides to having multiple namespaces, such as e.g. that there's no guarantee that your client will be able to map a given pubkey back to a human-readable name and/or dealing with collisions between mappings from different sources, of course, but this is reasonably well thread ground.

Even if that is true, what enforces provenance of art when NFTs are created? False claims of ownership of existing art in the creation of NFTs is a thing; enforcing NFTs doesn't solve the problem if nothing stops NFTs from being frauds ab initio.

Out of curiosity — was the “bad” mode a case of two separate workloads competing for limited cache within one CCX, or was it really bad cache behaviour across CCXs causing problems because the two processes shared memory?
Yeah, they've got a whole complicated permissions scheme that, to the best of my knowledge, does not and has never fully existed.

The parts of Xanadu that do exist seem to be mostly "goodfaithware," if you'll excuse the term. It's not clear that they have any real protections (like DRM) against clients copying data and/or not obeying the unique addressing scheme.
A constant crypto-person refrain seems to be, essentially, “technology X was quite bad, yet hyped, at first (there is a tendency to overstate the badness), and then took over the world, therefore crypto-stuff, which is quite bad, yet hyped, will naturally also take over the world.”

I don't agree with some of your examples but setting that aside, all of what you mentioned are economic products and services. Crypto is neither. Without crypto you have cash, credit card, debit card, prepaid card, gift card, paypal, ecash, applepay, western union, money gram, epay and a myriad of other non-crypto payment methods that are based on central bank currency. They did not consolidate. Or look at currencies in general, every country has one by design.

Also decentralized does not mean that there are no hubs where decisins and power is concentrated, it simply means there is no one center. Much like how people say the US is democratic because you have two parties to choose from instead of just one like China. I do think perect decentalization is egalitarian in that all important decisions are 51% majority consensus with every vote having equal weight. However most practical decentralized systems are distributed with the capacity to be fully decentralized.

Crypto currencies that will last long term will reflect a demand for specific payment needs. To use your example, we have lesser number of PC makers because they all make similar varieties of PCs. With payment systems you have ACH,SWIFT,card payment (instant), cash (anonymous),etc... there will be cryptocurrencies that will reflect popular payment and speculative investment needs for the long term.

Heck, I would even speculate in a crypto lottery!
This is nothing.

I have a very common name and a very common surname and people have used my email (name.surname at gmail.com plus the infamous GMail variants such as namesurname or NameSurname) for purposes like accounts on dating sites, Spotify, Instagram etc.; invoices; banks and insurances; resumes and job applications; medical test results; newsletters and all kinds of personal communications.

"I" am a local politician, a Swiss or Italian banker, a boyfriend deserting some girl in Argentina, a rugby player, a professor or two; "I" buy screws, magic tricks, diving suits; I know several of "my" birth dates and addresses and I have easily identified a couple of correspondents.

In most cases there is no practical way to verify email addresses, particularly if the person is really convinced that their email is the wrong one or that some approximation is allowed, and without actual payment collections coming your way little harm is done.

I sometimes complain to web sites with inexcusable confirmation-less registrations or reclaim accounts on services I might want to use, but for the most part I just let incorrect emails accumulate to play the passive game of collating them and consolidating identities (e.g. is the person who follows cooking courses in a certain big city the same who received from a friend bus timetables for that city?).

> 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.

This is very true, but I don't see how NFTs are a good solution to this.

The problem you're getting at is "determining if someone has permission from a copyright holder in a given work is hard" which is a true problem. NFTs do not currently give you copyright over a work, so they don't currently solve it.

In theory, we could have a copyright token, but that also can't work trivially. Why? Because copyright can, and of often is, written with complex conditions.

Let's say I'm a podcast, and I email a songwriter and ask them if I can use one of their pieces of music on my podcast, and then they ask what the podcast and content is, and then finally say "Yes, you have permission to use it for free on that specific episode you talked about" or "you can use the first 20 seconds of it" or such. How does that get captured as an NFT, where it's okay use it on a youtube video which is the audio of my podcast episode I got rights for, but it would be infringing to use it on a different video?

How would fair use be checked? Would lawyers act as oracles in any "NFT token use disputes"? Isn't that already the state of the art?

I guess in my head, "legal use of copyright" requires checking fair use, and requires checking arbitrarily complex legal conditions, so I don't see how you can make an "nft" of this without having a lawyer review or write every token... which scales just as well as having one lawyer at youtube hq watching every video.

For another fun challenge in copyright, how might your idea model copyleft / gpl / the linux kernel copyright issues, where someone uses GPL software (a conditional copyright license, conditioned on releasing their source code), but did not give the source code out after making changes and distributing binaries?
