I don't think it's a great situation, and I'd love to discover that in fact, Tim Cook assembles 50x as many iPhones per day as the typical Wistron employee, or locks his office door and cold calls promising app developers for 30 hours a week on a gradually ramp-increasing success quota, but my sense is that it's unlikely to be the case. It's more likely, I expect, smooth talk, an unflustered manner, and pressure applied to people who are expected to deal with problems and won't retain their jobs if they don't)
> And thanks to the protocols consensus rules your users can trust that for a transaction to go through your node and be accepted onto main net your node is a good actor.

Usually, you still have the “server is selectively lying” problem; unless the users are talking to each other, how do the consensus rules help with this?

(Related to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_fault problem, though that's about forming consensus rather than determining trustworthiness.)

I use it, personally. The other two options I find too aesthetically displeasing: not indenting the string looks bad when it's within an indented block of code, and using join and putting the strings in a list is just too much boilerplate.

Not really, since the blockchain data providers obviously need to provide the exact same data, from the decentralized blockchain.

The point of the external hard drives is really just to have a backup. I don't have a 1TB collection of files that I need to access from multiple places. So I would never try to access my big backup from my phone. I don't do that kind of work from my phone, ever. If you're in that situation, something like Dropbox might help, provided that it doesn't eat all your CPU. Good for you! Glad it's working out.

> People don’t want to run their own servers, and never will

It's worth distinguishing "running" a server from "having" a server. I lost interest in "running" my own services a couple decades ago - too much work, and I don't keep up on security patches, so it felt like a huge liability too. I am quite happy to "have" a server of my own though that requires minimal babysitting.

We already have this today in some forms: I have a network attached printer that once configured to get online, removes the need for me to run my own print server. Similarly I have NAS devices that remove the need for me to run my own file server. You could argue that the little box that my HomeKit devices talks to is also a little server for coordinating all of my little HomeKit devices. Each of these are pretty popular, even amongst the general population. That popularity tells me that people are quite happy to "have" purpose-built servers, but only if they don't need to "run" them.
I think you missed some things in my comment. I have an RSS reader and it has social features. I'm happy with it and have used RSS pretty much continuously from its early days. I agree with you, on paper feature-for-feature, my RSS Reader of choice today is better than what Google Reader was in many ways. What it doesn't have versus Google Reader, where I still draw some small nostalgia for Google Reader is Google's network effect (nor does it have Facebook's or Twitter's).

You found it weird that people are so nostalgic about Google Reader and said you didn't see why people are so nostalgic about it: my point was that a big thing that people who are nostalgic for Google Reader miss both directly and indirectly was its social features and their network effect. At Google Reader's peak I did have non-technical friends that had no idea what RSS was or how it worked, but they followed a bunch of their friends socially in "that reading thing connected to Gmail" and sometimes picked up that they could subscribe to other feeds just by subscribing to feeds they saw in friends' feeds. That was a big deal for almost-mainstream adoption. Most of that has moved to other social media today (Facebook and Twitter) and that's why "RSS is dead" according to all the headlines, but for a brief period Google Reader was people's "Twitter" and rather than top-posting short quips and a link to an article some of the time every "tweet" was bottom-posted in reply to articles. ("It was a more cultured social media for a more civilized age," in old man words.)

It's not unlikely that you don't have nostalgia for Google Reader simply because you weren't even indirectly aware of its social features. I'd wager a lot of the people that truly have nostalgia for did take some advantages of its social features. I know some friends anecdotally who still don't know what RSS is today but are still nostalgic for Google Reader. I've tried to convince a few of them to join me on my RSS Reader of choice and I can use its social features to teach some it in a similar way to how we all used to use Google Reader, but "no one" but me is still left in my RSS Reader of choice among that original group and most "everyone" is on Twitter or Facebook. It was the network effect that made Google Reader nearly mainstream, that put RSS to the closest to the mainstream it may ever get.

Right, you’d take a junior lien position and not extend credit beyond a certain percentage of total land value (aggregate loans to value), or you’d pay off the first, provide a financing bridge, and originate a new first, securitizing it to finalize the transaction.
There’s a conflict of interest. If I’m prepping a document to be filed with the government I can’t redact in accordance with the government’s interests under FOIA and redact it in the best interest of my client.

Or, to put it another way, would you want Monsanto or Philip Morris or Purdue Pharmaceuticals to “helpfully” redact documents on behalf of the government? It would largely defeat the purpose of FOIA.
Clearly the Canadian Media and Government weren't ok with it. Sunwing only took a position after this story was terrible PR. If this were serious they would have diverted the plane or arrested them at the gate...

Am I the only one who remembers Web 1.0 as "publisher-generated content" and Web 2.0 as "user-generated content"? (publisher being the one who hosts the server) The latter is dead for several years now, since we've found out content moderation is hard and even scale won't help you there.
Everything was unencrypted until late 90s (and in many cases until late 00s). Email (both smtp and pop3/imap), irc, web, gopher, telnet, ftp, local disks, removable storage, network storage (smb/nfs etc), everything. Computing and the internet was much nicer place, there wasn't such an adversial attitude where everything would be broken just because its out there like today.
Yeah I read the article more as a list of valid suggestions for a nascent industry. Not an attempt to suggest that crypto is going to disappear entirely.

He's partially right. There's a lot of pattern matching involved. Like he describes, there are several broad patterns. But then there are sub-patterns upon sub-patterns. You need to be able to recognize these when the interviewer throws a problem at you.

You grind leetcode problems over and over so that you can better recognize these patterns and know when to apply their associated solutions.

The most idealistic scenario is you get a problem you've recently practiced verbatim. Then you just put on an act like you've never seen it before in your life.

But if you get a problem that you can match to a pattern you've practiced, then you're still mostly in a good place.

This pushes miners to the cheapest forms of electricity, i.e renewables
Why won’t Google, Cloudflare, AWS, etc. simply own all most IPv4 addresses and leave all end users using NAT (or even CGNAT) to access them? This cements their businesses, since then nobody can reasonably host their own servers except through them.
I think moxie makes a good point about centralized services like alchemy, on-chain data from opensea, etc.

The increase in development velocity using services like alchemy and pinata is astounding (I remember spending a month writing a stupid nft app in 2017 which now only takes a weekend.) I think these services are here to stay but they ultimately undermine decentralization.

I'm optimistic for the future of web3. :)
FTP is horrible. I'm glad as a web dev I haven't touched it in 8 years not since I worked for a hosting company in tech support.... git, or even rsync over ssh is way better...

The upcoming generation..even the 'non-tech' people are tech-savvy, meaning most could probably get arch linux up and running at least via a distro or follow the docs, etc...where there parents would fail.

the problem is they need to create something w/ a big enough value proposition but at the same time, easy enough for the masses to assimilate and understand it, and that serves enough utility to make it worth it.

Something like an actual currency w/ basic income dividends (taxed $ goes to lowest 50% who have a minimum utilization score), and identity/fraud management, that has a built in tax and cap system so whales can't abuse it, and zero transaction fees, instead fees are taxes for hodling and lack of utilizing (less daily/weekly transactions lower your utilization score, so you might lose a couple coins/day until you start spending more). Fraud/ID comes in handy here so you can't just spend it to yourself or other accounts you own. 1:1 only.

It'd need wide adoption to make utilization scores accessible, and maybe the price be pegged at or near a loaf of bread... and somehow make that global to be a universal price-setter to.. like say it's 1000 x currency for a loaf of bread in X country and 100y currency for a loaf of bread in y country, the c (coin) to y trade rate would be 100:1, and 1000:1 for x.

I also feel that decentralization can be bad, full democratization is good, and DAO's would be good assuming every member gets equal voting rights (protect against whales), but sometimes esp. in the beginning centralized aspects like identity verifiers could go a long way towards building something resilient, and make tweaks/iterate changes faster than blockchain tech, and then when the tech is more sound in 10 years, move 100% decentralized... or only parts if that's what the org votes on....etc...

When this expands to include metaverse it even becomes more important to have liquid democracy at its core, to ensure fairness and that companies don't control everything.

Which brings up a different problem: Web3 assumes that everything you do online will cost money. Even assuming that fees go to zero, virtually nobody wants that. Web3 advocates will say that the money you earn will offset what you spend, but you only have to look at Patreon/Substack/OnlyFans earnings to see that it won't happen for most people.

Only the rich should be able to make unreasonable requests (its kind of how Capitalism works).

One trivial way for a normal person to do this FOIA would be to make a request for the document names that lead to the decision to approve Pfizer's vaccine. Redacting a ~10 word title is going to require way less time than redacting ~300k files. We also already know that the FDA knows what files lead to the decision (~300k) and which they are (cause they're redacting them atm). Once you have this list you can decide which files could help your case and request those.

As far as transparency, the FDA didn't just write down two words "Pfizer Approved" they've created document outlining why they approved the vaccine.
