>Time to get started! It sounds like it should be worth it to you.

Nah you leave.

>Well, if you don't do these things, you are a criminal. That's pretty much the textbook definition.

I don't have any problem with criminals who operate non-coercively, like people who drop acid or don't pay taxes. I don't equate law with morality (or fairness). To me often to be a criminal is to be the good guy.

> Fairness is about having the rules apply uniformly to everyone.

Nah fairness to me means no coercion. If 51% whites vote blacks have to be their slaves, that's democratic but definitely unfairly and coercive. Same if 2 of 3 siblings vote their house is a country and the law is they get the marble of the third. Democracy here is some people voting for a representative who represents some bombs into others. How many old people do you have to put out on benefits to justify one dead Iraqi, in your opinion?

>Good for you. I bet you have a Black friend, too.

Basically your flippant dismissal of private charity and your smugness of funding social programs at gunpoint. Not surprised though. Why don't you head up to the Red Cross office and tell them "good for you, I bet you have a Black [sic on 'B'] friend."

Did I even tell you what race I am, or are you just racist enough to think me having a black friend means something different? Or is it just you think no one who is black could possibly have an ideology that involves finding taxes illegitimate? Do you see the black mind as different or something? I want to get a real understanding of how deep your racism seeps.
The study is around memory function development. You really don't need good memory to be a programmer. I have googled code questions and came across my own answers on SO. It happened more than once.
Oh cool, I didn't even realize that!

I have an opinion, you have an opinion. You don't like my opinion, you can go fuck yourself with your fucking opinion that you and your mental illness share. Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.
Devil's advocate (I use Ubuntu at home).
My parents 20 years ago had a windows xp lenovo notebook, never had to reinstall, battery just stopped working after 10 years, IIRC.
My brother had a windows 8 notebook, never had to reinstall, 1 year and half ago the hdd failed, he bought a new notebook, I kept the old one with a cheap ssd as a spare.
In 2010 I bought an acer 4810tg (450€, really cheap) with windows 7. Over time I upgraded RAM and replaced hdd with ssd using dd to copy data from old hdd to new ssd, so no reinstall was done. I stopped using it because it became too slow, even for a "normal" linux distro with a DE (I don't have time anymore to play around with distros).
Agree, owning data makes it harder to switch.

A counter example here might be Twitter and Facebook. You can export all your data just fine, but it’s useless anywhere else. Because the reason you’re on Twitter/Facebook is that everyone else is there. They own the distribution of your connections making the data itself useless without them.
> As I understand, most NFTs don't confer any copyrights.

Yes, one of the “all kinds of problems” I mentioned upthread (this one isn't an inherent problem with NFTs, but seems to be a practical one with many current NFTs) is that while NFTs certify ownership of something with regard to the linked content, exactly what that is (beyond the certificate that is the NFT itself) is often not clear, even, AFAICT, to the purchasers.
The entire have become a tirade that calls into question whether I was assaulted or not. The entire thread has hijacked with someone accusing me of still wanted to be with someone that tried to get me to kill myself and sexually assaulted me.

The person waiting and flooded the comments days after to rank their posts higher, increases the likelihood that this is the tirade of someone accused of domestic violence by two sources.

The thread's topic is completely changed by the flood of comments and I insist that it be removed entirely if you are not going to remove enough comments to reduce the thread hijack.
Who are some of these people in your experience?
I keep my projects on GitHub for discoverability and the reputation provided by stars, whatever that's worth. So essentially network effects.

The reality is if I'm looking for a library to solve a problem, I'm much more likely to use one from GH with 1000 stars than a random self-hosted GitLab with 50. I would like to not feel that way, but I suspect many others do as well. It would be nice if we at least had a decentralized reaction/reputation system.

Is there an analog to this with the services Moxie talked about? Sincere question, I'm not familiar with the ecosystem at all.
> Photoshop has some really clever AI based tools

Can you expound on these?
Yeah, this is serious stuff. It's not as if it were some piddling shit like rape, where victim blaming is all but mandatory.

He's not reliably showing it. You're being presented with a situation in which the door shown doesn't have the prize.
Don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity.
It’s come a long way for other uses, though. We have decent 3D modeling, paint, office suites, and gaming (better than Mac, almost as good as Windows). It’s still not quite there, I’ll grant it, but it does feel miles closer than the last time I used Linux (a decade or so ago).
Started helping elderly people (all retired) in the early 2000's with their Windows PCs and as you guessed it, quickly became the computer guy as word spread. The service was "free" ... Payment was tea, some-carbs and a nice story if it organically came up.

After the first few service calls, my repair formula became:

- backup data
- clean install windows + restore data
- create user with only User permissions
- create strong admin password shared to both I and them
- rename the admin user account to root :)
- enabled "run as" option in context menu
- setup that HP printer with just a print driver! lol

Issues went poof! No more accidentally installing those "${YIKES}.exe" files Some would "sabotage" their PC's just so I could pay them a visit. That was actually fun lol. I appreciated the childish nature of their antiques like "the mouse doesn't work" or "my printer stopped working" when clearly they unplugged it.

If anyone's missed it, giving uneducated computer users admin/root perms by default is a bad idea. A little education goes a long way. Those windows-pcs remained rock solid/fast and matched any linux-pcs uptime. Watching those "pesky computer smart grand kids" being stopped dead in their tracks from mindlessly installing "games" was weirdly satisfying. You get that "ah ha! it was you feeling"

The typical use for those computers was word, excel, some-app-to-print-cards-for-grand-kids, aol/msn chat, media-player, and some simple games.

Am equally comfortable in windows||*nix. and harbor impure thoughts of linux as DOS and the desktop-environment as windows 2000 experience (WoL - Windows on Linux)
Here is another weird SB9 restriction: No AirBNB's. Homes created by SB9 can be sold or rented. However, if rented, the minimum rental is 31 days.

Why? Why should the state of CA slip in something like this if the lot is split as two APNs?
I think we're talking about different things. I found an image of the sign you're talking about by searching for "exit sign", but I wouldn't have called it an exit sign and wouldn't really understand what it's supposed to mean.

To me, an exit sign is mounted on the ceiling and just says "EXIT".

You make the list for your node. There are published lists but they are only a recommendation by whoever published the list. You may use one or many lists and/or add/remove nodes how you see fit. So you dont need to trust them you should trust your own list.
However its importation to understand that if you happen to add a few non-honest nodes they cant cause any real damage. Since your node checks all the rules and signatures itself it can not be tricked into accepting malicious transactions + once such a node would "lie" it would be publicly visible for anyone. The "lie" would be signed by that nodes identity. So everyone knows whom to remove from the list. Meaning every non-honest node has to act honest forever it will be forever "burned" because its known "evil" once it didn't act honest.

>I created my own trust list
It would exist alongside every other already published list. If your list doesn't have a huge overlap with other existing lists its de-facto irrelevant because that would mean your list only contains unknown nodes and no one would use it.

>causes people to lose trust
They dont have to trust the list publisher, damaging the list publishes reputation is somewhat pointless the list itself or better the nodes on there stay valid. Lets say there are nodes on the list that run since 8 years have low downtime and never once tired to somehow harm the network. That "trust" doesn't go away. In a sense time or age is a trust indicator that can not be forged. You would need to reasonably proof that the nodes identity actually got transferred to someone else who wants to use it to harm the network. And you would need to do this for every node on the list that you want people to remove.

>Then I could take over the network with my “trusted” list.

If your list contains mostly nodes that you operate/control. And a majority of the other nodes actually would use your list and your list alone (not combine it with the existing lists) then maybe you could reach the 80% quorum which could be considered "taking over". You could for example vote in an amendment to change the code the nodes run. But for that you have to publish the code first and then the amendment would need 2 weeks 80% votes to become active. Whatever is in that code if its bad and 80% vote for it anyway it would be obvious that the yes voting nodes are compromised and all the honest nodes, again, simply have to remove them.

Realistically no one would even install the software update if its not going through the official GitHub where the involved devs would want time for audits and all that before someone installs it. Also would most likely be installed on the test net which is centralized so it can be enabled fast and everyone can test it.

So the most damage someone could do if he successfully compromise lots of validator nodes is that he could stop the network possibly for several days because people have to remove the nodes manually to reach consensus again. It would of course be very bad but at the same time its incredibly unlikely to happen and there is not much incentive to even try. Its not like you could print money if you stop the network.
I think tests should have caught that one but I agree.
Except NFTs don't store the item, they only store a creator-defined URL hypothetically pointing to the item or a hash of it's contents. Also nothing guarantees the royalties if you can just download the item. Nothing in NFTs prevents right-click-save-as.
There is arweave which is trying to bring permanent storage. You could store the nft on arweave chain and mint the NFT on the same.

Though, I'm not sure how this will "scale".
> they rug-pulled a popular NPM package. That's within their rights

That sounds like malicious activity. That's normally against most terms of service
>One of RMS' goals was to have the ability to study and learn from the software and systems you were using.

This is a huge understated benefit of Linux and FOSS. Instead of being hidden you can see how things work, sometimes you might even need to fix them

>It left me with the lasting bias that free software is liberating and proprietary software leads to learned helplessness

I must admit, I do understand this sentiment. Working in a proprietary system its harder to imagine how I would want to change things to better work for you, because I can't see how it works. I wouldn't know what to change because I don't know what's in there, it makes things more difficult to see all the possibilities with the lack of information
Perhaps this part of my ruminating inner voice, but I think my wisdom to myself would come in small nudges: stay away from here, pay attention to this, ask for help with that.
It is misleading, but it's there because otherwise you would have to assume the receiving antenna size would change along with the distance.

People practically calculating loss are usually doing so with a specific (or a few specific) antennas in mind. It's not often they would be calculating based on an antenna large enough to not take it into account.
I'd recommend checking out foobar2000. It feels old in a good way and you can use a lot of the Winamp plugins if you want them for whatever reason. No fancy nonsense, just a music player. There are also plugins to integrate with streaming services, youtube, etc for when you want something outside of your library.
Royalties is a funny example because a) they’re being standardized, see eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2981 and b) royalties are entirely opt-in. You can happily transfer NFTs without having to pay royalties if you forgo an exchange that respects them.

Sure, but acting like South Korea “has it under control” is laughable. They were panicking months ago.
Not a professional in the area, but I follow gimp development for the last decade.

Biggest UI problems have been fixed by Peter Sikking and a few remaining will be fixed by the switch to gtk3 on version 3.0. Version 3.0 will also improve color management and, at least for a few non-professional cases, good enough CMYK.

Last remaining deficiency for me to suggest professional photographers to consider it is non-destructive editing (adjustment layers) which will (hopefully) be available in 3.2.
Frankly, making an outrageous claim and then just blithely going "Nope, I'm not going to give even a single example" makes it sound like you are spouting just as much bullshit as Holmes did. Or alternatively, like you're just not understanding the difference between over-optimistic forecasts and claims of actual outcome. Which is it?
The point is if you buy a stylized poop icon but the pseudo-gatekeeper company deems they want to shut off that part of the blockchain what are you going to do? Are you going to download and maintain 20 PiB of data on a server to keep your unique one-of-kind poop icon? The same could happen in the future to actually valuable things like a contract/NFT between you and another party.
If people want banks, they can have them. At this point exchanges have become the banks of the cryptocurrency space. Lots of people just leave their coins in the exchanges, they even have savings accounts.

The ability to withdraw the money and use it directly with no third party involved is still important. Especially since governments are already implementing digital currencies that will be fully under their control.
Quite interesting. As someone else mentioned, could you recommend any materials where one can learn more about this?
Wow, the minimum lot sizes for SB9 are really interesting! We build DADUs in Seattle and I thought our rules were progressive, but we're still at 3,200 SF minimum lot size to build one. Does SB9 mean you can split a 2,400 SF lot and have two houses?

Besides DADUs and small houses I'd like to see a lot more duplexes and triplexes zoned in as well.
An illuminating example uses a deck of cards. You're trying to get the ace of spades. You pick a card. I don't know anything but I turn over 50 of the 51 remaining cards and they're not the ace of spades. Do you want to switch your pick to the alternative unknown card?
There are plenty other example https://streamable.com/i5r0yp

Technology isn't just about whether most people currently see the benefit of something.

15 years ago people were saying why would anyone need the ability to turn their stereo down by sending a signal over the internet, you should get one of those universal remotes from radioshack. Today we have smarthome turning on your lights and AC 10 minutes before you get back home.

For platforms like Twitter and Youtube, I thought it would be better to create a website that allowed streamers to post their schedules. So this is what I built. Tell me what you think.
I actually don’t find anything insightful about Rebel’s approach. They paid someone too much money to make a machine learning model that then informed their biases that highly educated people from prestigious universities and previous FANG jobs are the likely candidates of success.

I’d rather work with a fund that had managers who understood due diligence, market analysis, and truly desired finding the best idea, not just pushing their own preconceived biases through pseudo-technical analysis.
Ignoring the presence of "(*, *)" in the Fortran program -- which is the equivalent of all of the format string and type complexities in the C, Python, and Julia programs -- is a serious deficiency of the argument here. As soon as you start writing something more complicated than Hello World: The Sequel, those complexities become something that language learners need to engage with.

Ouch. Surely this is a violation of Google's own privacy policy and possibly GDPR? How did this make it to prod?
As for FORTRAN in the wild, there are many simulations used by the US government still in use, example like Enhanced Surface-to-Air Missile Simulation (ESAMS).

Would it be a good language to use outside of specialized needs? Probably not.
I have availed my self of using a Paraguay bank. Seemed fine to me. I do not have a account there. They exchanged my USD for any peso I like just fine.

Is there a reason why no one banks in Paraguay? There is a dude standing by the bank with a shotgun waiting to blow the head off of any robber, I felt very safe there and their service was quite professional and honest. More so than the street exchangers. I wouldn't have hesitated to open an account there if I needed to.
1. No

2. It has always worked the same: people arbitrage the subsidy by doing energy inefficient labor. Bitcoin mining is just a more efficient arbitrage mechanism.
Could it be..if you have 10 beds open, but through staff resignations etc..maybe only enough nurses for 8 beds? and that's where the discrepancies lay?
I think it's worse than that since, as described in the article, NFTs don't include a hash of what the link points to. So you own a certificate that describes the content of a link in the very literal sense of describing the characters in the link URL and not really anything more.
True, you can export your Twitter data, but a competitor to Twitter cannot access the entire set of user data that Twitter has access to.

The real differentiator is that with Web3, the data is open, so providing an alternative is as simple as providing an alternative front-end.

What threatens the promise of Web3 are the issues that this article brings up, with decentralized projects not being able to iterate as quickly as centralized ones, leading to proprietary elements becoming the standard for some aspects of widely used Web3 technologies (like NFTs) and establishing a moat for the centralized platform that owns that element.
> Instead of storing the data on-chain, NFTs instead contain a URL that points to the data. What surprised me about the standards was that there’s no hash commitment for the data located at the URL.

I've been recently exploring the Solana[0] NFT ecosystem. The situation is similar there and I admit it took me by surprise at first. However upon further inspection, there's more to the story.

As others here have mentioned, most serious ETH collections address this problem using IPFS. But on Solana, Arweave[1] is a popular solution. I had never heard of Arweave before and it's a seriously cool concept. In a nutshell, it's a system that allows you to pay for 200+ (potentially much more) years of storage _up front_. I won't pretend to understand it all, but it effectively pays the network of miners to host your assets indefinitely. The up front payment - which is steep when compared to traditional hosting - provides a "sustainable endowment" for these mining rewards. This allows you to guarantee that the asset will be available without counting on some random hosted storage system.

It seems that NFTs are the main use case for such a system at the moment. However I can imagine other use cases could emerge for an answer to this question I never really thought to ask: "How can I ensure that an asset is hosted "forever?" Interesting problem and an interesting solution that a network like this - with its marriage of decentralized technology and economic incentives - is uniquely poised to address.

Thankfully, the Monty Hall example here is explained well. Oftentimes it is explained in a way to make you think just the opposite. If you assume the House knows where the prize is, they'd have picked it (and won) when they reveal the door. So you'd be a sucker to switch. They went out of their way in this example to say that the host always opens a door without the prize rather than trying to win themselves, which gets you to the "surprising" answer that you should always switch. Maybe if you were familiar with the format of the show (I am not), you'd understand. But the question usually just states that the host knows where the prize is and you are expected to come to the unintuitive conclusion that they don't actually want to win.

The gamblers fallacy is also amusing in that it is almost the exact opposite of what people often think it should be. If you have an extremely unlikely string of "red" on the roulette wheel, rather than think that "black" is due, you should start to consider that the wheel isn't fair. So a gambler who thinks he is due for a win is far more likely to be just getting scammed.

Another way of looking at regression to the mean is basically the law of big numbers... infinity+1 is still infinity so no matter what the starting offset is (streak of improbable events), given enough rolls, it'll be irrelevant and you'll end up with the statistical probability.
People do bother. I don't have specific examples off the top of my head, but I've occasionally run into an read-only GitHub repo that's been moved to Gitea or GitLab, or even BitBucket.

More broadly speaking, it's important that you can migrate, even if you don't actually do it, because users who can easily churn give the developers an incentive to keep the UX solid. If you can just leave GitHub at any time, then they're less likely to add gigantic banner ads to every page, or bundle "third party offers" into installers - they know what happened to SourceForge, after all.
