I’m not an expert on the matter but, from what I know about Korea and Japan, literacy was a priviledge granted to a small minority. Having a complex script that takes years to learn was a tremendous advantage to them. Maybe it was different in China, and things have certainly changed in modern times, but low literacy has often been beneficial to those in power.

Cultural continuity is questionable, even old texts in European languages often need to be adapted for contemporary readers.

All that said, Chinese ideograms are incredibly cool so maybe that is a good reason to keep them.

> Something like an actual currency w/ basic income dividends, and identity/fraud management

Proof of Humanity is trying to do that with $UBI tokens and their method of proving who you are (basically a video of you with your wallet address saying a specific script, and putting up a collateral that could be lost if a court can provide evidence that you've signed up for it before). After you're signed up, you get one $UBI token every hour. $UBI tokens are currently worth $0.12 apiece, so it's roughly $1200 USD per year (at least for the moment, it's inherently very inflationary and seems to kind of rely on people like Vitalik Buterin, creator of Ethereum, to buy a bunch of tokens and burn them).

It does have a complex onramp, though, and will be difficult to get non-tech-savvy people onto it without some help, most likely.

We'll see if it continues to work. It's only been around since March 2021. It's an interesting idea, though.

>Index funds don't do anything to help this - just cause it's a bigger group of strangers stealing the products of the worker's labor doesn't make it any less exploitative.

I had a hard time understanding this, but I think I got it.

You are saying that if I work for, say, Xerox, I should own a portion of Xerox, because their capital belongs to me, because I use it to create value.

This is better, you are saying, than me owning an index fund that has a little of every company. Because if I do that, then I am exploiting all the workers in all the other companies.

As a self-contained system of belief, I guess it has a certain logic to it.

But if Xerox goes down the tubes then I don't want to lose my job and all my retirement savings!

I also think I see an inconsistency. If owning part of another company is exploiting their workers, then I should also be concerned that any form of ownership by workers at my company could involve exploitation.

Simply because we do different jobs using different amounts and types of capital. Averaging things out must be exploitation of workers by workers in the same way as owning mutual funds and such.
I have seen cryptography on some webhooks, but after doing about 30+ integrations at my old company, most were very basic / no auth.

Nope. Genetic engineering and bioweapons could very make the latter a reality. And that's why you don't try to be pendantic.
I'm guessing the sentence they wrote is just a consequence of English not being the author's primary language. I frequently see ESL speakers get adjective and adverb positions wrong in ways that unintentially change the meaning.

Even skilled English speakers make mistakes here because English is both very permissive about word order, but also tends to give different shades of meaning to each other. "Only" is a pernicious one. When I got my last book copyedited, fixing the location of "only" was one of the most common changes.
FYI, here’s the author’s Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Rufo

Running nodes is pretty easy with setups like DappNode. Full eth nodes arent that big, i synced a new one in a couple of days last week onto an old ssd.

Most heavy contract data is stored offchain on ipfs, so you can just pin the stuff you are interested in.

Where i would agree is indexing/searching lots of data is a pain. You cant just give an address and get a list of tokens associated with it, you have to call every token and get its balance. It makes sense, but its annoying, and is why opensea api is so popular for nfts. But i have hope with services like TheGraph growing that search and index also has distributed and resilient design and we become less dependant on one endpoint api.
It also strikes me that there’s an implicit requirement to “already have sufficient capital” to operate in the crypto space - even more so that normal finance. I don’t see middle-to-low income people being willing to adopt this as any interaction will burn even more of a limited resource than normal mechanisms.

If the majority of people can’t get in, or can’t afford to do anything in the space, is there any real chance this will actually take off?

Now I’m sure someone will respond along the lines of “crypto is an investment/asset not a currency, etc etc etc” in which case, why is it trying to do all these currency things?

Now you've got me curious which came first, "paste" or "zip".

Python's zip function was added in PEP 201 [1], which credits the Haskell 98 report with the name. The same function appears in all prior versions of the Haskell language that I could find, dating back to Haskell 1.0 in 1990.

On the other hand, the GNU coreutils version of paste[2] has copyright dates going all the way back to 1984, which presumably means it was derived from UNIX System V or an even earlier version.

Hmm. Does xargs give you a way to skip the first arg? xargs -n 2 I {} almost works, but you’d need a way to extract a specific arg out of the {}. Which I just realized I don’t know how to do.

“(at 0 {})” would be a nice construction.

But then of course now you’re writing xargs -n 2 -I {} echo (at 1 {}) instead of just awk {print $2}, so it’s mission failed successfully.

Presumably the entire industry isn't going to magically become less complicated when a single payer option begins. There will still be a need for many of those roles, but they will be employed by the state instead of private companies siphoning profit.

I have not seen, and I am not sure it would be possible to generate, evidence in the number of jobs that would be lost (or created) by a single payer system.
It's usually a URL of the artwork that is stored on the blockchain.

That URL is sometimes an IPFS url, which is a hash of the content. But it could be anything, that's why you can create NFTs which change their image based on where they are viewed, or eventually 404.

3rd party wallets often don't bother looking up the blockchain to find the URL. They just query a centralised API like the one run by OpenSea. That's why OpenSea blocking an NFT can make it show up as blank in 3rd party wallets.
Being surprised by this convo probably means your manager did a poor job of communicating (or you did a poor job of listening to what your manager was saying).

You should be having biweekly (or better yet weekly) 1 on 1s with your boss. For the most part, you shouldn't be surprised by things if you have a good rapport with your manager.

I think you'll be fine, but be sure to communicate things with your boss as soon as they come up. Also, don't just come to your boss with problems, but bring solutions as well.

If you have a tech lead on your team try building a rapport with them as well. They'll be busy, but they'll ideally be in a position where many of their goals will be mentoring based. Leverage this to learn about the projects, company, and the culture.

Why would you want to query it, though?

A full node lets you fully verify the chain's historical states and it lets you interact with the current state. Unless you're running a service that exists solely to allow people to query historical states (like a block explorer service), I don't see why it would be useful to be able to query historical state.

$90,000 for the lot. Place maybe 2 or 3 trailer-homes onto the property + a driveway to access the trailer-homes. Maybe $300k for 3 family units.

The issue isn't the price of land or the price of trailer-homes ($20,000 per trailer home). Its the NIMBYism, the neighbors who will run you out of the neighborhood for bringing down the value of their homes.

Wait, how is anybody using technical documentation to support their position a bad thing? As opposed, say, to simply faith?

The changelog for 7.1 (https://github.com/mongodb/mongoid/blob/master/docs/release-...) even explicitly call this out as a breaking change:

Breaking change: In Mongoid 7.1, when condition methods are invoked on a
Criteria object, they always add new conditions to the existing conditions in
the Criteria object. Previously new conditions could have replaced existing
conditions in some circumstances.

Ironically they also have a breaking change in 7.1.1, so they just don't give a fuck at all.
I feel like I've been sheltered for all these years. I never used Windows 10 for extended periods of time as an actually personal machine - it was either on corporate-deployed laptops for coding, or on a separate install dedicated purely to gaming. Having to set up my parents' new laptops was alienating, because I just don't use such hostile software.

I won't be moving to Windows 11 unless DRM forces my hand.
It just sounds like Bitcoin to me. The proponents tell me how much it's worth and you're stupid to not want to invest. A few get rich and the rest are left poorer than what they started with. Moxie used the phrase, "gold rush" in this essay, and it's fitting for cryptocurrency itself as far as I can tell.

I'm poor, (but not stupid, thank you!), but I've only seen crypto being used as payment for prostitution. Which, hey if that works, good on 'em, I support the idea of safe, legal sex work.

Isn't this just saying "something can't be a pyramid scheme unless it has already collapsed"?

Whereas the argument being made is that looking like a pyramid scheme is something that tells you something about the future likelihood of collapse.

(I think there's also an interesting dynamic that's not explored much here about "finite supply" - unless/until every coin except for one or a small handful collapse, it seems like "crypto" as a whole is subject to inflationary pressure from new coins. Would BTC be worth more in USD terms if ETH didn't exist?)

Personally, I prefer uniform lists with leading commas, because it's easier to add and remove lines for later, inevitable refactoring. For example, I prefer:

> you change your choice your odds of winning go up from 1/3 to 2/3 which to me makes intuitive sense

Well, my guess is that's because you've fixed your intuitions either by prior exposure to the problem or education. Certainly I think it's intuitive - now. The point is most people's intuitions think it changes from 1/3 to 1/2, regardless of whether you switch or not.

But hey, maybe Bayesian inference is intuitive to you without any math education.

Meanwhile, when this was published in 1990 and thousands of people (10% with PhDs) wrote into the magazine that it was an error. So some people have a very strong contrary intuition.
Are you claiming that nothing is a pyramid scheme until it crashes?
Er, the idea of moral objectivism isn’t reserved to teenagers and has long been a serious school of thought on its own. For someone who calls others judgmental and narcissistic, you’re pretty judgmental yourself especially to views of morality that don’t align with your own.

I think you’re running off the assumption that there’s no objective basis for morality and the sense for it simply changes over time, but don’t you think that the changes over time reflect progress in ethical wisdom in the same way that science progresses in terms of knowledge over time? For example, is believing in the equal rights of women, African-American, and LGBT people narcissistic (we used to think of them as less, many still do) or is it just the right thing to do and the old value system was objectively wrong to oppress them? The stupid things you did as a child—were they stupid only because you’re older now, or were they categorically stupid? Was burning witches actually OK? How about the way that justice was administered in terms of the Old Testament or the Quran, was that also OK? I struggle to see where you can insert the narcissistic aspect here.
It appears you're correct.
