> Smart contracts are a pile of money exposed directly to the internet with no firewall in the way. And no recourse when things inevitably go pear shaped.

When you say it like that, it sounds like you're poking fun at the stupidity of defi and cryptocurrencies in general.

But what if there were public contracts, with billions of dollars locked in them, with no firewalls, essentially a huge self funded bug bounty, widely publicized, running for literally years, and it... just works as intended?

You probably still wouldn't like it because it doesn't fit your mental model of how security should work.

But if years go by and any of it keeps working despite the massive bug bounties, people will build on the stuff that works. 90% of smart contracts can fail, as long as knowledge is gained and confidence goes up in the 10% that are left. The contracts are composable, so if something works, you can reuse it in a trusted way. After all, anything with billion dollar bounties that survived this long must be pretty strong.

The contracts provide a feature that you can't get anywhere else: trustless decentralized computing. The "pile of money exposed directly to the internet" is actually a feature that tests trust.

It might not seem like a big deal to you, but for banks or funds or nations or anyone with very large sums of money, the ability to withdraw/transfer/borrow/lend with no possible downtime or fraud is extremely appealing.

With all the billions being thrown at this problem, I don't see how smart contracts could fail.

> when things inevitably go pear shaped

If you really believe all of these contracts will inevitably go pear shaped, are the billions not enough incentive for you to go find the bugs yourself?

> It’s interesting the folks with piholes and boobie trapped routers are the first to get behind this idea.

Yes, these people are called "early adopters". They're excited by new technologies, even when they involve risk. You should try it sometime.
I don't take it as entitlement but more as a case of expectations not matching with reality. With 1 to 2 hrs every few weeks, it's very difficult to ramp in a meaningful way with most languages. Unless they're toy languages or unless people have spent large amounts of time/money for those use cases.

Perhaps you would be best off finding a fully set-up Docker image with a working installation of OCaml/opam, and connecting VSCode to that to act as your dev environment. That's how some educators are teaching it nowadays.

> In general, I would think this is largely up to you - i.e. only the rights you explicitly granted.

Do you have any examples of an NFT that grant rights accompanied by TOS terms for minting the NFT that affirm that it is the original artist or someone who is authorized to do so who is creating it?

> However, I believe in the US, there is no right to even download a copy of a file on the internet for purely personal reasons.

There is de minimis which isn't so much a right but rather a "this is beneath the concern of the law".

As to the US aspect, every country that is a signatory of the Berne Convention ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention ) recognizes the minimum standard for protection which includes the right to to make replications or display to the public that is held as part of copyright.

For an NFT, would a baseball card be an acceptable comparison for what it represents in the real world? To that end, I would contend that the same thing happens to it when the player that it represents (there is no ownership conveyed in a baseball card beyond the card itself) leaves the game.
64b code does not necessarily imply 64b time_t though. If your time_t is an alias for int, it's 32b on anything short of (S)ILP64, which is anything but common. I'm not sure there's been any other than Cray's UNICOS and HAL's Solaris port.
I am curious about your third point. Why do you consider project choices that are good for "big tech" to be a reason to turn away from Linux?

I would have assumed that many contributions by corporations are in the end a net benefit for both corporations and customers or at least not detrimental to customers.

Do you consider some corporate contributions to Linux to be harmful towards consumers? Or is it more a decision of principle?
Sure. I'll work on fixing the place I live, sleep, and eat for the time being. Liechtenstein can wait!

It could be, but I'm rather distrustful of such high numbers backstopped by nothing but the same exact set of MZ twins they've been using for lab rats for decades now in various studies.

How many monozygotic twins can you find with a robust diagnosis of ADHD, and how much money can you afford to spend to thoroughly exclude every other possible cause (TBI, sleep breathing disorders, deficiency, thyroid, autoimmune, neuropathies)?

Quite expensive, nobody gonna do that. Science is about finding evidence to support a hypothesis, not some quaint notion of "truth".

All that's needed from such studies is to support the "biological cause" conclusion so that you can substantiate the need for a pharmacological as opposed to talk therapy intervention.

Those studies certainly support that, but all they really say "ok this is biology".

Given a disorder is usually defined by being outside the normal range, as defined by two sigma interval, 5% of people have ADHD by definition. How many of those are due to bad genes, and other causes is actually very hard to say, as there isn't that much profit to be made in discerning this any further.
Is it dropshipping for food, or do the restaurant fronts still devise the recipes?
A third of GDP in Nepal is money sent by nationals working abroad and 1/4 of that is taken through high international banking fees. Use stable coins on a blockchain to get around those and you’ll see a 1/12 increase in GDP?

Phone credit based economies still exist in Africa. They have internet but no banking infrastructure. Using a blockchain allows people to create accounts and build a credit history as opposed to phone credit balances.

The Gates foundation mentioned a lot of pain points in direct giving was the fees taken along the way. Again, something that could be looked at with crypto.

Digital licenses - they aren’t transferable because the resale market doesn’t give returns to the creators. With NFT licenses you could trade them with fixed royalties going back to the creator.

Clearview has recently been getting into trouble for their practices in Canada:
https://globalnews.ca/news/8451440/clearview-ai-facial-recog...

Edit: What they are doing here is illegal and they've since dropped operations in Canada. However they still track Canadian citizens and sell their services to anyone who wants to buy it outside of Canada. They've basically told Canadian citizens and the government here to go pound sand. I'm not sure how this gets resolved without new international agreements over privacy?

1. Eat decently (drink more water, no sodas, no deep fried potatoes of any kinds, and no sweets. I already don't drink alcohol or eat gluten)

2. Hire a regular online personal trainer that fits my schedule. Upwork is surprisingly a good source for this.

3. Launch a new software product of my own (not client products)

4. Strive for Buddha-like attention and patience with my kids

All are really "live a happier life" goals. Even #3, because I miss doing that so much.

At the end of the day, our computers and smartphones are just data input/output machines. Humans generate petabytes of data yearly, and that data is going to be stored, processed and used, forever. The invent of HDDs, fibre internet and increased processing power means more can be done with that data. It's entirely plausible entire streams of stored encrypted data (TLS, openvpn etc) may one day be decoded and provide fascinating insight's into human behavior. (I wouldn't be surprised if there was a giant archive of every single byte of FB/Twitter/Reddit/HN data in a DC somewhere...even this post!)

I think we need to accept and embrace this, and that privacy is now a fight that is, for better or worse, a lost cause. Covid generated even more streams of data through sequencing, and you can be sure all of this is being stored, forever.

You can, and probably should, fight against it, but if you're a human alive today you should know many bits of data (about you) will almost certainly be contained on many disks for future generations to look at, and that isn't likely to change any time soon (short of a major regression in human capability and understanding)

Presumably flight attendants' jobs became substantially more challenging when so many Americans want to take off their mask, and it's the flight attendants that have to get them to keep them on.
That's because forums generally have topics and rules. If we're in a forum about sports cars and you're constantly starting adversarial threads about city planning and parking, then mods would probably censor you to keep the forum on topic. Places like Facebook advertise themselves as the "town square of the web". Traditionally nobody was censored in the town square. There's a difference between purpose built communities and the general network of communication.

The term moderation itself often came from debate and discussion venues where moderators would police speeches.

I ran my own business for a while. It was difficult and while it only had one year out of five that it actually lost money, it barely made enough to pay me enough to live. It was very stressful.

However, during that time I sold products (and programming services) related to my field (video and image processing). I did my best to help other developers (some who could even be considered competitors). I posted to email lists of users, mostly with knowledge about the field in general and being very careful not to try to push them towards my company’s products because I didn’t want to come off as a shill.

Eventually, I decided that it wasn’t fair to me or my family to keep working so hard for so little return. I started looking for jobs with other companies and by luck there was a position that opened up on a team that was directly related to my skill set. (I had written some plugins for their product, in fact.) I had interacted with a few of their engineers on the various email lists I was on, and had even interacted with their QA once or twice when dealing with some issues with my plugins. I was able to get one of the engineers to pass my resume on to the hiring manager and eventually got the job.

While it’s hard to know for sure what the deciding factors were for them, I believe these things helped:

1. Being knowledgeable in the field
2. Posting helpful content for users and other developers and not worrying about whether I’m helping a competitor or going to make a sale
3. Getting to know an engineer or two on the team
I don't care about California. I was talking about Germany. This whole thread is about an article on Germany. There is no such trend in Germany, as data shows.

The term has a very specific meaning, but I feel some people use it very loosely...

Most people at my company seem to think tech debt = legacy code that gets in the way of modernization.

Wiki says tech debt is:

"Technical debt (also known as design debt[1] or code debt, but can be also related to other technical endeavors) is a concept in software development that reflects the implied cost of additional rework caused by choosing an easy (limited) solution now instead of using a better approach that would take longer."
Last I heard there is nothing wrong with the E2EE in Telegram at this point in time. OTTOMH, the stuff that people were complaining about wasn't anything that anyone would realistically care about, particularly for something not really that secureable like instant messaging on a smartphone.
People in my county have given up with masks. We are maybe 60% vaccinated but I feel there is a false sense of security because of the low population density. It’s so easy to wear a mask and give yourself protection, but you also have the added problem that people don’t seem to understand how to fit a mask properly either.

You are correct. That was helpful clarity.

Maybe divide 7.14million by (50000 * 6 year average age or whatever), and you might find a statistical baseline from that? Probably a bad idea.

The information is freely available from studies, was more to the point.

Amazon tried to emulate Digital Ocean with Lightsail.

It does feel a bit like a Cinderella service however. The versions of the managed databases you can connect are sometimes several years old.
At Boeing, I learned that bolts should be lubricated before torquing them in order to ensure an accurate torque. I initially thought wouldn't the lubrication allow the bolt to unwind itself? Surprisingly, no.

Since then, on my car, I always put a bit of grease on a bolt beforehand. It keeps the water out, preventing the bolt from rusting itself together. It makes for an accurate torque. I've never had one unscrew itself, and I can always get the lug nuts off!

Of course, you still need to use lock washers. For critical bolts, use a cotter pin or a safety wire.
I have three young children.

My wife understands my introversion and that I need time to myself. We have a sort of agreement, she could be a stay at home mom but she also is going to take the majority of the child-rearing, I make and manage the money in our home.

One of the reasons I love working from home is that I actually spend more time with my kids. It's not a chore and I don't have to set aside specific time to do so, it just happens organically.

What has helped tremendously is outsourcing a number of chores. I've hired people to clean my house, maintain the yard, etc and it's really freed up more time. Now I have plenty of bandwidth to devote to family, along with all my other hobbies and intellectual pursuits.
Maybe not OIDC, but most support SAML, which is good enough.

There's also SAML/OAuth2/OIDC proxies you can use along with role-specific service accounts, so even legacy app access can be audited and controlled with temporary sessions. One OAuth2 reverse proxy can authenticate entire subdomains worth of web apps. (https://oauth2-proxy.github.io/oauth2-proxy/)

If some proprietary app says they only support static IAM keys, they can easily enable the AWS SDK to transparently handle AWS STS temporary credentials. You just authenticate with some other app (say, saml2aws) and the tokens are cached locally, and the AWS SDK takes care of the rest. (You can also configure the AWS SDK's credential_process feature to make that seamless)

Cross-account AWS access can be granted to specific roles to be assumed with specific IAM policies. No keys or users at all.

The fact that Clearview have such a comprehensive database in the first case is rather unnerving. Shouldn't there have been some sort of legislation to stop them? One private company having access to this information is not a good idea.

> I'm sure this type of thing degrades bayesian priors for everyone reading it

What kind of thing do you mean by "this type of thing"? Why do you think it degrades bayesian priors?

Life is, among other things, a constant quest to better understand the world around us. For every "real discovery" there is a ton of noise. Most of that noise can be easily discarded, some look more convincing. This particular instance looked more convincing.

We know that modern imaging equipment is very complex. You shoot a picture and complicated processes happen which were optimised by thousands of engineers to produce a good looking photo. In the past we have seen that such complex pipelines can introduce plausible looking artefacts in a different context: https://www.dkriesel.com/en/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres...

This is why it could be possible that maybe something similar happens with the camera app. People investigated, and it turned out that that is not the case.

For every breakthrough in our understanding there were thousands of perhaps and maybes. For every eureka moment, there is a bin full of superluminal neutrino experiments. This is normal and part of the process of reasoning about the world.

If your thinking processes get damaged by encountering as of yet unexplained phenomenon then your brain is broken and you should ask for a refund.
This reminds me so much of Jorge Luis Borges' Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge that I wonder if he was inspired by this list. In it he lists 14 purported categories of animal:

1. those that belong to the Emperor,
2. embalmed ones,
3. those that are trained,
4. suckling pigs,
5. mermaids,
6. fabulous ones,
7. stray dogs,
8. those included in the present classification,
9. those that tremble as if they were mad,
10. innumerable ones,
11. those drawn with a very fine camelhair brush,
12. others,
13. those that have just broken a flower vase,
14. those that from a long way off look like flies.
I've made a few measurable goals for 2022 that I wrote up on my personal site [0]:
- read 25 books (3 of which are "technical")
- write 12 blog posts
- take one online course
- get conversational in French
- shoot 2 new batches of photos and post them online (and get through some of my photo backlog)

And the slightly less measurable: eat better and exercise more. I'm getting old enough that I should stop putting this off.

Perhaps it could have been stated better as “the language design removes the need for a multitude of competing libraries.”

The statement should not be taken out of context from the rest of the paragraph, which includes, “These libraries are also generally very high quality…” This means that the two or three libraries you find are more likely to handle all of those edge cases you mentioned. Some libraries haven’t been updated in years because they’ve solved the problem they set out to solve, and nobody’s found a fault with them since then.

One big upside of the pandemic is seeing it disturb the labor supply so much that employers are having to negotiate pay in the lowest paid jobs.
