Which means, the technical solutions to the questions raised in the original article this responds to, will probably not have time to be implemented before the rush is over.

Especially since those solutions would reduce the influence and revenue of the biggest players. It's like trying to replace Facebook with Diaspora. It's technically possible, and going nowhere.

The article lists success stories for NFTs: "Axie Infinity and how it’s bringing entire nations out of poverty"[1] Axie Infinity is a play-to-earn game. It's like Pokemon, with breeding and training and fighting, for real money. Players need about US$1500 to play, and earn Smooth Love Potion Tokens. This really caught on in the Philippines, and people were quitting their day job to play.

The article was from June 2021, when Axie was on the way up and Smooth Love Token was peaking around $0.35. Axie is now a Ponzi on the way down. This morning, Smooth Love Potion Token is down to $0.01897 and dropping.[2] Since all revenue came from new players, this was inevitable.

The NFT market is Axie Infinity, OpenSea, CryptoPunks, and the little guys. As with most things online, the top 3 have most of the market share.[3] Axie is crashing. OpenSea is stalling. Profitable NFT resales aren't happening much, and there's a glut of new issuers.

By the time the problems Moxie points out are fixed, this is going to be over. Especially since for US players there's a 28% capital gains tax rate on collectables resold within 12 months.

Sorry, I'm using "bias", "consistency", and "rationality" in the statistical, logical, and philosophical senses, respectively. So, I think, is the article. Your use of different definitions for those words probably explains why you reached conclusions that read as obvious nonsense to me. You might think about rereading the article with those definitions in mind.

I can also recommend reading about alpine sweetvetch.
100 yr old predictions about 2022
I agree that they are high bandwidth inputs but not all of it sticks. There is a saying that goes: "in one ear and out the other". Recently, I learned about "reticular activating system". As far as I can understand, RAS determines what is important to you and provides your focus there. This is pure speculation but it might be that, eyes/ears are indeed very high-bandwidth inputs that if all their data was persisted, it would overwhelm our brain.
I'd say it's wishful thinking. You can easily apply the "Petrodollar->US supports SA who is a joke" model to other country, e.g. "Ydollar->US supports X who is a joke". I guess you already see the common part in both models.
I agree

How many people in Japan voluntarily used masks before Covid again?

How many cases of people protesting the use of them in Japan has there been?

Personal responsibility works well in countries where people don't think a virus has a political leaning and where people have a modicum of consideration for their fellow citizens.

Luckily, Fortran allows easily changing from one to the other. You simply define arrays as A(1:10) or A(0:9) and they will index from 1 or 0.

You can even do arbitrary indexing: fixed like A(-3:3) or dynamically like B(n1:n2). This may sounds useless but it's actually an excellent feature when writing eg convolution kernels.

I don't know of any other languages beyond Fortran and Julia that have arbitrary array indexing as a core feature (you can fake it in C in two lines I guess).
Wow I did not realize that Signal was missing this. I think they are focusing on getting more people on board than building a great app.

> they UPGRADED my CPU to handle more advance calculations (for free)

No they didn’t, I assume you are taking about the Autopilot computer upgrade, that upgrade isn’t free, you only get it if you’ve paid for the FSD upgrade and the are only doing it because the previous computer wasn’t powerful enough to deliver FSD.
Interesting...

Thanks for that link, though I find it a little bit ambiguous that the measure is trust but the question asked is "In this country, do you have confidence in… national government?", which I think is slightly different to what I was alluding to which is trust in the motives of government.

For instance I trust the motives of the health establishment in the UK, but I have considerably less confidence that I will get the best outcomes from it.

Does that make sense? I wonder if it applies here and people in Japan are not confident in the ability of their government to deliver good outcomes. Whereas in the US a significant number question the motives.

Or I could just be wrong :)
Always worth entertaining that possibility.

Yes, the community-oriented culture thing seems like a great explanation.

I have been looking for an objective, skeptical evaluation of web3 and this delivers. Despite all of the discussion around decentralization, market forces like network effects, switching costs, and winner-take-all will likely occur and with it some degree of centralization.
It would be best to have backups built in, but in the mean time wouldn't Signal Desktop be a way to make backups?

I moved my home directory to a new computer and Signal Desktop started like if something changed. Sure you would lose your messages on your phone, but you can still access them on your computer if needed.

On a rooted Android phone, you could use oandbackup to backup Signal. If you care about these things, maybe consider using a rooted Android phone?

I agree with you on the centralized platform aspect and the use of phone number (which is both a blessing (this makes it easy for new users to join) and a curse). I also agree with you on Element's UX, but it's getting better and most people can use it fine. I have a few groups on both apps.

I personally prefer Element, which seems more open than Signal and which I can actually use correctly on the PinePhone. And definitely didn't requires the hoops I had to go through because I don't have an Android phone or an iPhone. Axolotl [1] still needs some work.

As a technicality, while it's possible for "she only told him that she loved him" and "she told him only that she loved him" to mean different things, it's also possible for them to mean the same thing.

(And in fact, the primary meaning of the first sentence is the one identical to the meaning of the second - you can read it "she only told him that she loved him [and she didn't do anything else]", but by default you'll read it "she only told him that she loved him [and she didn't tell him anything else]".)

The reason for the ambiguity is that the verb is the head of the sentence, and so an "only" placed to scope over the verb has several different options for where the scope "really is".

> If you’re living in a dysfunctional government

1. There are very few such governments on earth, all things considered

2. You still need to somehow convert those "assets" into, you know, actual food, and clothing, and... In a truly dysfunctional government rubber-hose cryptanalysis is a thing that exists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber-hose_cryptanalysis

> The underlying statement you are making bere is that we shouldn’t be building technology that helps people undermine their governments’ ability to control their citizens’ assets.

No. The underlying statement is: you're building something that doesn't work the way it's advertised.

> That’s the crux of the argument here.

Well, if you invent arguments, pretend your opponent said those argumetns, and then bravely fight those arguments, then surely, that's the crux.

So. Back to my original statement: "Crypto makes non-functioning governments significantly worse. Good luck proving the NFT on your house proves you're an owner in a dysfunctional government." It's an objective fact that doesn't rely on your imagining of what a dysfunctional government is.
> at worst you're going to see the next 'Great Resignation' but this time among teachers

This will be a controversial comment, but after decades of teachers telling to public on how “essential” they are to society (a point in which I agree), I have watched teachers and their unions spend the last 2 years pushing how “non-essential” they are due to pandemic fears. If a bunch want to resign, so be it. I would rather have the ones who want to be there, realize how essential they are, and willing to risk a virus to provide that essential service.
I would wager very little beyond a detail cleaning is done to a "Certified Pre-Owned" car. Maybe they give it a mechanical once-over and a quick computer diagnostic scan to be sure it doesn't have any obvious problems.

Make it look as new as you can, sell it at a premium as a "certifed" car, with maybe a 2-year warranty. Profit.

Even a 5 year old car is very unlikely to have any major mechanical issues unless it has been abused.

>the key take away is that insulin is produced in response to excess carbohydrates,

Citation? My experience is consistent with yours. However, my understanding is that insulin is mainly a signal to cells to take on nutrients, and it is not exclusively a response to carbohydrates, much less "excess carbohydrates." Certain amino acids provoke an insulin response, for example. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2660133/
Sure, like it has already done so for the last decade.
Environmentally probably a good idea. From a consumer rights point of view this is going to be bad.

The cynical side of me thinks this is just a way to control the after-market and eliminate third party repair shops and mechanics.

A better way would be to design their cars with right to repair in mind, that way the environment and the consumer benefits.

I'm open to doing those arbitrarily fine grained stats as a workable compromise, but the ability to have journalists or citizens check for inconsistencies in tax reports or use the raw data for other research seems positive for me, as well as the ability to ask my boss why I'm being paid less than my coworker who does less than me. You might disagree whether it's worth it, but they are 2 positives already (maybe 1 if you are hard against citizen law enforcement)

The second part: it's boring because we can have a discussion about which mechanisms are beneficial for society without defaulting to political shortcuts or assuming an argument can only come from a worldview (maybe I'm a weird type of market libertarian who believes in perfect information symmetry?).

You can argue that exposing inequalities doesn't have inherent value because inequalities are good actually Yadda Yadda Yadda and we can actually exchange our views on how and why we disagree...or you can default to the label. Yes we'd be rehashing a bunch, but it would be a good faith discussion.

I leased my Bolt. I figured I would buy it out when the lease expires unless current EVs are competitive, but now, I don't know, maybe I'll just keep leasing. EVs feel less like buying a car and more like buying a really expensive PC in that the minute you buy it, it already seems somewhat outdated.

Sure, you can get that feeling with an IC car, but IME the updates are less frequent and the technology is more mature. My '17 Subaru feels a bit dated, but that's nothing I couldn't fix with a simple head unit upgrade.
“Single curve only.” – Genuary / Day 8
I worked for a startup as a data scientist, where I built and managed one of our data measurement/reporting systems. The company would routinely overstate how well their product worked, but I largely chalked it up to "fake it until you make it" -- but, they also never really worked on the "making it" part. So, our metrics quarter-after-quarter were spun and contorted to make it seem like we were still doing well. It got to the point where there were three of us that knew the real numbers, and our c-level was the only one allowed to share numbers both internally and externally. I stopped going to all company meetings because I started getting physically ill seeing/hearing the lies being told to the company, and having people comment or ask me questions after.

A new employee came in to my team, saw what was happening, and reported it internally. They did an "investigation" (but, somehow didn't interview me or anyone else who would have backed up what they had reported). The investigation found no wrongdoing and the reporting employee was told to leave.

Then, suddenly, the company decided to IPO. And those horribly misleading numbers made it into our S1, the investor decks, and continue to be routinely repeated on quarterly earnings calls. I left the company because of these issues, and now vacillate between reporting it to the SEC but figure they'd likely do nothing except burn my bridge with one of my longest employer tenures.

Anyway, you made the right decision to leave. Companies like that will never prioritize the right things, even when they're in more stable places. There are always trade offs to be made in early stage companies, but there are some things that you still should be doing regardless... there are other companies out there that take this stuff more seriously and act more ethically, but this kind of behavior is shockingly prevalent in the startup world.

And while proof of stake does partially minimize some of the environmental concerns, it introduces other problems that aren't great (like all of the power being systematically consolidated into the hands of early adopters and the wealthy).

His comments primarily address technological advancement, which are not necessarily the same as replacement of or even reliance on centralized systems.

Platforms like OpenSea have a network effect and the marginal value of fully decentralized NFT trading or even the technical support (E.g. YouTube tutorials) of Metamask, for instance, does not outweigh the advantage for most users.

Moreover, it's in the best interest of these centralized platforms to remain centralized as it creates user stickiness.
There is a question of system - in some countries, "professor" is a separate title convened by national body, and is separate from whatever status you have at your individual teaching organization - for example, in Poland, we have "professor extraordinary", which is lower rank and convened by specific university and not valid outside, and "professor ordinary", which is presented to you by president after recommendation from scientific body - and is valid everywhere. Both of those titles require having a second-level doctorate (meaning you also did a "habilitation"), but are separate titles and when writing it down formally you're supposed to write them separately
