One potential use maybe would be a blockchain that is openly run by a company (80+% of nodes or something) but if you also run a note it could continue after the company ceases to be.

There are other ways to do that but it might almost be a reasonable use case.

I'm asking out of pure fan-like interest in this field and because I see lack of simple-enough (for me) tools for language building. Don't take me serious or anything like that, I'm not a pro.

> since vaccinated people can have and transmit the virus, it is not helping at all (the stated goal being to annoy the non-vaxxed people to death and nothing else).

This is a very partial view. Vaccinated people can have the virus and transmit it, but they will have it less, transmit it less, and anyway have lesser symptoms if they catch it from someone else.

The third is why a vaccine pass helps the healthcare system more than a "vaccine or test" pass, in a situation where vaccinated people can have or transmit the virus.

Buttcoiners' "future" is all about financializing everything. They have ZERO claim to "good old web 1.0 decentralization" because the original web was all about information wanting to be free!
The cheap, self-contained ones yes. But I’m talking about “proper” ones where the reader and controller are separate.

While it indeed depends on the threat model, the problem is that a lot of these electronic systems are sold at a high price to building management companies while being horribly insecure. At least if they were cheap then fair enough - you get what you pay for - but that isn't the case here; they provide a false sense of security.
I think they're saying that people have abandoned the number one effective policy (besides vaccines) - avoiding social visits and working from home - and trying to make up the difference with contact tracing, "being careful", masks, ventilation, lateral flow tests etc.

The difficulty is, nobody wants to Zoom with me any more, so I have to meet them in person or not at all. When it was illegal to meet, people were happy to Zoom 90% of the time, but now they are not.
You can point to that event but it's actually not enough to establish that it "practically ends up the same."

Superficially. But deeper cultural beliefs and orientations different dramatically. See Lee Kuan Yew’s reflections on American culture through the perspective of an East Asian: https://paulbacon.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/zakaria_lee.pd.... Yew was pretty westernized, wore a suit, spent much time in America. Yet he recoils at American individualism and it’s consequences.

Even inside America cultural differences abound. As a south Asian immigrant raised in the American south, I’ve come to realize I just don’t get along in the Pacific Northwest. I thought my Oregonian wife was just rude and blunt, but after spending some time in the state I realized most people there just don’t have the same notions about e.g. saving face or dancing around upsetting facts that I do.

I don't know as much about the protocol details of infura. Have they found a way to verify transactions with a partial node? That'd be huge if they have, regardless of what happens to the current NFT platforms!

I still remember the outcry when the EU banned incandescent bulbs in 2009.

CFLs were crappy and full of heavy metals, Halogen was half-assed, LEDs were expensive, too blue and too weak.

People were defending their radiant heaters in full force, but everybody underestimated exponential development in a market suddenly put into full force solving this.

By the last stage where 40W bulbs were being phased out, nobody was interested in them anymore, because LEDs were simply better with cheaper TCO.

Solar and battery are still on exponential track down the cost curve (with wind saturating, but still going strong).

Nuclear and fossils are not.

Yep, so we need solutions for using these practices in a performant way rather than hearing they are not 'good' and then having to explain over and over again why they are there. Our datasets that use UUIDs have not had issues with performance but of course we keep looking for ways to keep using UUIDs while improving performance. It would be better to provide solutions on how to do that and spend time to get performance on par with int keys. Like someone else said; 32 bit int keys are no good anyway for many cases, so let's go to 128 bit, optimize for that and everyone is happy.

I don't think the fact they are now using IPFS makes it any more credible either; IPFS is not a new thing and the valuations were huge already by September. They should have done it from the start. Furthermore that they can mess around with the base URL is not cool.

For a curious person, reading interesting information on the internet and watching Youtube videos is not (necessarily) wasted time.

So it helps if you keep in mind activities that are acceptable and ones that are not.

A lot of the 'good habits', moved to screen time: I used to read more news papers, magazines and books, and most of that turned into screen time. Online discussion is also a useful way to spend time I think (with the right audience, such as some of HN).

I wouldn't put screen time due to curiosity for information on the same level as bad addictions, such as smoking (hurting health) or gambling (hurting the wallet).
I understand the pedagogical example as a stark contrast, but this choice is immediately turning me off the product. Startups and the companies they grow into have spent decades helping themselves to data to track and identify and write clauses into their policies and terms of use to be able to stockpile behavioral data for a potential future "pivot" if nothing else.

We are living in a world where it is more based in fact to assume that companies will help themselves to this kind of information under a variety of pretenses than that they won't. The only reason people will assume differently is if they trust the company, the product and the people behind it. The policy seems to be doing its part, but trust needs to be built by every conversation with a potential future customer. If the question that pops up is "how can I be anonymous if I pay you each month", the resulting argumentation should not be able to be construed as "we're sorry, but we're not going to help be your burner phone", which the comment I'm replying to is toeing dangerously close to.

People search for many things and it could detail their interests, their current location, their financial troubles. The commitment needs to be "we will never, never, never, ever, do anything like this", and not just "it doesn't make sense for us to do this". Because if someone wanted to build in that sort of tracking, it could "make sense" from a business standpoint to do this in that the data, if collected, has a lot of value on the market.

Even if the incentives are indeed aligned to keep the paying customer pleased, we also need to know that if we do walk away, that at that point there will not possibly be anything left as an artifact that a future buyer could do anything with. This assurance will be most effective if it's rooted in trust and values rather than in practical concerns; the practical concerns are valid, but only if they are restraints that have been applied in search of an objective by yourself, instead of "it is not currently in our business plan". (As an extreme example, consider a bank saying "we'd never pick items out of our customers' safe deposit boxes and sell them; it would simply be too much work".)

Basically, the facts seem reasonable enough. But you need to work on not coming off like the parent saying "well I'm sorry you want to hide things from me", which is what unprompted bringing up the covering up of criminal activity in response to questions of anonymity and privacy does. I understand that those concerns do come up in thinking responsibly about a product like this from all angles, but making it a part of a discussion with a potential customer disrespects and denigrates their fundamental needs enormously, the same needs that would make them attracted to the product in the first place.
I spent a bit of time in the PU community after reading The Game. Many of these places were just toxic: focused on lying to women out of desperation to get sex. Everything from "white lies" about some exciting adventure you had to make you seem like a more interesting person to lying about your intentions, to putting women in very uncomfortable physical situations on purpose.

Some were better. Most of the people who joined these communities had a similar pattern in the beginning: men who felt they can't communicate with women or who aren't conventionally attractive learn some canned openers based on stuff they read in The Game, memorize a bunch of "techniques", and basically fake it through "outer game".

After a while, I noticed there were usually two paths they took:

Path One was people who remained stuck in this "outer game" phase where they wear weird stuff to peacock and stand out (a la Mystery), regurgitate a bunch of lines, try to time their "negs" just right. Most of them burned out and/or grew resentful towards women from repeated rejection because the techniques are actually pretty cringe. Sometimes they became very vocal in these forums about how women just want to use them, or how shallow women are, or how much meaningless sex they're having (most of them weren't).

Path Two was people who realized that instead of trying to fake being an interesting and attractive person, they might actually want to become an interesting and attractive person. They evolved to focusing on "inner game". They got a tiny foothold in just approaching women a lot and learned that rejection wasn't the end of the world, and then used that realization to grow as a person, have new legitimately interesting adventures, learn how to groom themselves, and generally just have something interesting that _actually happened_ and _didn't need to be exaggerated_ to have a conversation about. Instead of having to strategize how to bring a woman they're talking to down a notch to make themselves seem "higher value", they actually became "higher value" by improving themselves, and attracting more interesting people while they're at it. There was no incentive for them to lie to women about their experiences or intentions (by omission or otherwise). They could be honest about what they wanted out of life and know that there are plenty of people to meet who are genuinely up for that, too.

I still have a couple of friends who were into that scene, ones who broke out onto Path Two and seem to be doing very well for themselves both in business and relationships. The other ones are long forgotten.
At least for me I think WhatsApp is more popular with older people (at least in Germany) while teens use it too they also use combination of different messengers in addition to it (Instagram, iMessage, Signal, Discord, Snapchat, etc.)
And you're paying good money in hardware, developer fees and app store fees for this.

I just can't understand how people actively choose to endure into this situation.
Haha, in Germany I do not know a single person using iMessage. In my social bubble it is like WhatsApp > Signal > Telegram > Threema > Facebook Messanger

This article is about MySQL, apparently it's really the case in MySQL?

It's not the case in every rdbms universally. Postgres has a uuid type that stores them how you would (rightfully) expect.

I have no idea why MySQL does it this way, it does seem odd.

> You're wrong. I hold many NFTs that I want just for the sake of the art.

This is an old debate and not really the subject at hand, but I'll still bite (against my better judgement).

You don't need to own an NFT to enjoy the art. That's the fundamental difference between art in the real world and digital art (NFT or not). When you own a piece of art you get to look at the original; this is a unique experience in the case of a painting, and sometimes a rare experience in the case of limited editions of photos.

But the digital art is the same whether you "own it" or not. From an esthetic experience (not a financial one, obviously), it's pointless to "own" digital art.

The only thing that would influence the esthetic experience of digital art is the medium. Buy a better screen. Better speakers. Etc.

The dog whistle stuff bothers me in the abstract (that it happens at all), but less so in the specific (where it feels like playing hidden words on a speech).

What irks me more is when people can't / won't enunciate their core beliefs as part of an argument.

If you think lower taxes create greater economic growth and freedom, then mention that! If you think higher taxes create greater economic growth and freedom, then mention that! But don't dance around the issue with five pages of rhetorical devices and examples, and never mention why you're advocating a position... as your core belief.

Read a couple articles last night, and enjoyed them. (Well balanced) food for thought.
> - People don't want to run a server... Do they not?

I think this is the most important point the article made. Most people really don't want to run a server, why? because they don't even know what a server is.

However they do have some tangible sense of some program they download and run on their device. So the only way for the masses to have truly decentralised infra is to make sure those programs are nodes in the decentralised networks.

> Or are most APPs simply not build as with server capabilities?

This. I don't know why, maybe there just aren't enough interested developers to build clients for this stuff that works like e.g a bittorrent client. The irony seems to be that most people making these "decentralised" apps are only interested in making portals into centralised platforms connected to a blockchain. Or maybe the design of the protocols simply doesn't lend itself to independent clients directly connecting to each other.

I think bittorrent is a really good example of how to do this stuff well. People will complain and say the masses don't use it, but it's been around for a couple of decades now and it "just works" and continues to "just work" and every client is a server, it is truly decentralised, with federated infra only to distribute metadata. I think the only reason it's not used by the masses is because 90% of what it's used to distribute is copyrighted material.

If web3 (or lets just call it what it is - NFTs, or the next blockchain fad) are to work in a truly decentralised manner, then whoever is designing these protocols needs to keep the whole picture in mind, end to end, to ensure clients are equal - to design it in such a way to actively work against the trend to centralised platforms, make them irrelevant.

In the case of Sweden it's not a secret that crime has increased exactly because of immigration, since some immigrant groups are extremely over represented in crime stats.

Looking at crimes in general, people with both parents born outside of Sweden are about 3x more likely to commit crimes, and the over representation is even higher for violent crimes.

Looking at violent rape, 75% of assailants were born outside Europe.

There are very extensive statistics on this, and unfortunately they don't go away no matter how much you love people "that are different". Even calling people racists doesn't work, believe me they tried.
It is odd that it's up to 20 years per count, but what was actually done ranges from something like a misdemeanor to robbing someone of their life savings.
> I don't even know where to start on that comment. The premise that wealth determines some concept of "your station" is part of the problem here.

I think you're reading things that weren't intended. My reading was that the problematic people are people who act as if they're better than others because of the amount of money they have, when in fact they're rather similar to the people they look down on. In a world where taxes are public, that's no longer possible.

Maybe you're confused because you haven't encountered such people but I assure you they exist.
