No one would. If there is a ban it would be a ban on contact with the regular economy. It would be a ban on buying/selling dollars or goods/services with BTC. So you’d stop computing because if no one (or not enough people) can use the result of the computation there is no economic compensation for it.

To ban mining itself (calculation) you could only address things like construction permits or environmental permits for industrial mining operations. That’s also easy, and in no way interferes by saying what anyone “can compute”.
Chia has weaker guarantees than Nakamoto consensus.

Every proof-of-work solution in Bitcoin commits to the transaction history,
but the proofs-of-space in Chia only commit to the farmer public key.

Which is used to separately sign for a block of transactions.
Which allows a collusion of recent farmers to produce alternate
transaction histories at no cost.
IOW similar to https://github.com/goodeggs/teacup and a few other libraries that produce markup from inside a programming language with minimalized syntactic fuzz?
I recently became aware that my eldest child (13 at time of writing) prefers Tumblr as social media because of its "emptiness"
> There's only one "religion is good" story off the top of my head (when the Asgard are introduced as protectors of the Viking planet), and in that one the religion is meant to be outgrown.

Great example. It pointed out that religion/mythology is bogus and was put in place so they (Viking folks) can contact the little, grey, Roswell-looking men after they mature out of the religion to see aliens' true form instead of a Viking dude.

BTW, Thor was voiced by Michael Shanks, who mainly portrayed Daniel Jackson.

Is that pro-government or anti-government in your view?
I thought I had seen the limits of the absurdity of this "footnote style" hyperlinks in HN. Now I'm certain of it.
After 10 years I've stopped checking my Tumblr feed last year. It's nothing new there anymore in the graphic / web design / typography inspiration area. Everybody left, the algorithm is dumb, no more joy.

However I'm grateful for Tumblr. It shaped my design career considerably, and give me joy every day for years in row.

I envy the people who can endure the drudgery and boredom of most jobs, and can therefore have stable longterm careers.

I've had a stable, long term, stress free, career working at large 'boring' companies doing high level research projects with very smart people in areas I find fascinating, and that I'm still excited to get to work on. 'Boring' and 'stable' companies still have very cool problems they need to solve.

Maybe there’s context I’m missing here - my only context is as a (reluctant) user of JWT, but I don’t see how the opening claim is substantiated:

> But I can’t help seeing a whole little industry creep up that is interested in creating alternative building blocks that appear to be of interest to the creators so they can attain control over them and perform rent seeking from that control.

So someone wrote an article that was negative on JOSE/JWT, and is now starting a company, which seems to have little to do with PASETO or JWT. So what? Where is the rent seeking?

Maybe I’m missing the bigger picture, as is sometimes the case when a post intended for an audience who are members of a mailing list shows up here without more context. But as it is it just reads like a jealous rant.
I pay over $4,000, for a 75-foot-square lot. People marvel at how low my taxes are. The average around here, is three times as much.

It doesn't bother me that much. I live in a fairly affluent area, with good services and infrastructure. The schools are also excellent.
Warp drives even if they one day are implemented, almost certainly won't allow FTL speeds, because it will break causation. According to Special Relativity, any way of transmitting information faster than light is equivalent to passing it into the past in some frame of reference. Warping space-time doesn't really solve it, provided you plan to unwarp it back once you've reached your destination.
> maybe spending a part of your day feeling hungry is a sign that you are taking care of yourself.

Yes - may as well feel positive associations with hunger.
Tumblr is completely underrated.

I'm using Tumblr for almost a decade and I never found any other place as convenient or as cheap (free and without ads) to have a blog. It's dead easy to start one, to post or to make a custom theme (if you feel like). You can even use your domain for free and you even have "kind of" a social network.

I know that keeping a "fun" blog is not fashionable anymore but Tumblr is really good at it.
>>They were much older and had no formal education. I was a new hire with a degree.

how long were they with the company? it could be age and formal education was not the factor in this situation but rather wage compression.

This happens alot with long tenure, as market rates for a position outpace internal annual salaries it does not take long for market wages increasing at 10% annual where internal increase of 3-5% (and some years with pay freezes) cause people that have been with a company for 8 or 10 years to see a massive difference between their salary and what new people start at.

It is always why people experience 20-30% pay bumps for changing companies, companies continue to refuse larger annual salary increases, only adjusting the pay when they attempt to find new talent on the market.

>>Managers should be actively looking out for their employees. It’s their main priority of retention. HR needs to give them enough budget to keep up with the market and not be greedy.

The reality is neither one of these people control this. Senior management sets the over all salary budget. With in that determines what individual can get. If Senior management say on the whole the salary budget can not increase more than 5% then you can not give every employee an 8% raise, you could give some and layoff a few, or you high performers 8% and some 3%, etc...

Senior management needs to take retention seriously, most do not

There is also a belief that "salary is not everything" and putting in a game room, or having some other "office perk" will retain people for lower costs than increasing their salary.
Holy shit it really is the classic Nigerian Prince scam.
I don't think that's it - the fox just randomly picks any point X triangles away, so it has a biais towards densely triangled areas.
Pedantic Central Texan: the cult compound and subsequent siege weren’t actually in Waco - that’s the nearest city with television stations and an airport. If you’re not Southern Baptist, feel free to make a joke about the real cult in Waco being headquartered at the Truett Seminary (Baylor). If you grew up Southern Baptist (like myself), giggle even more about the Vatican on the Brazos.

I learned once I got to college on the East Coast in the late 90s that the rest of the country automatically thought “cult compound siege and fire” instead of “Baylor,” when they heard the name of the nearest big city to where I grew up, so took to describing my hometown as being “about an hour north of Austin” instead of “30 minutes south of Waco”.

Austin was always far, far cooler than Waco, but that always felt a bit pretentious, as my hometown is a lot more like Waco than it is Austin… which is probably why I ended up running off to the East Coast for college.
> In the past IT people, whether we're talking about programmers or something else, were very clever people. People with a high level of intelligence that took serious pride in doing things in a meaningful and pragmatic way.

Yeah, I wouldn't be so sure about that. Lot of self taught who blew up things big time and are deeply familiar with the stack that the company they have been working at for 20 years relies on but would be lost in another company.
The BBC couldn't have been more blatantly favoring the incumbent party in the last election. Everything from measurably giving critics of the opposition 2x the airtime of supporters to editing footage to cut out their audience booing the prime minister.

They are critical of the government sometimes (e.g. right now) but their editorial line follows what the investor owned press is saying. They havent been independently critical since their independence was curtailed after the David Kelly whitewash, IIRC.

Where they lean "left" it is by placing prominence on issues like women's rights, gay rights, veganism, pronoun politics, etc. and other "leftish" issues nonthreatening to powerful interests (a form of left https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recuperation_(politics) ). They downplay strikes and most protests (including antivaxxers).
Is that a solution though? unless you send your ship instantly after those bullets another objects could still just come in from the side after they've passed, unless these bullets cover significantly more than the front facing area of your entire ship it won't work, and if you do send it directly in front of your ship immediately before your flight then you've just invented metal shields, and if they do hit something you're still going to be hitting shrapnel and spalling at appreciable fractions of the speed of light.
This article misses (intentionally?) the 3rd important point that keeps me on there: the absence of big money. There's minimal advertising, no astroturfing, no sponsorships, no paid features. It is pretty much the last of its kind in that regard.

Someone is clearly making a push to capitalize on it, and I'm not looking forward to adding it to the endlessly growing list of beautiful things that rich businessmen have destroyed.

I’m not sure how much cut through this has had outside of the UK, but the government are currently in serious trouble because of constant leaks about parties in Number 10 Downing Street during the pandemic - including a particularly poorly timed one the day before the Queen was photographed at her husband’s funeral alone.

The leaks are ongoing, so we know that this particular plan is part of “Operation Red Meat”, which might be familiar if you’ve heard “red meat for the base”. That’s what this is. It’s going to cause serious problems for the BBC while this government remains in power, but this isn’t a serious proposal for the future of that organisation. It’s an effort to get furious Conservative supporters back on side and secure Boris Johnson’s position.

Other aspects of Operation Red Meat are reported to be military involvement at the Channel Crossing, and a ban on alcohol in Number 10. There’s another set of plans called Operation Save Big Dog too, which mostly seem to involve firing a bunch of other senior figures.

Is that true?
There are equally big or larger players with an entrenched interest in the "regular" financial system. The environmental lobby is no slouch either. Crypto mining will only remain legal if it can defeat both of those groups and merely having a few billionaires on your side is not enough when the other side has more of them.
Scientific American is a publication, not someone's Facebook page. The writing gets Scientific American's legitimacy when they publish it and it reduces Scientific American's legitimacy if it's of poor quality. Editor-In-Chiefs should remember that 'it's an opinion piece' isn't a valid defense to separate the work from the publication or argue against a poor quality writing. They shouldn't publish the piece if the work doesn't represent the views of the publication or meet the quality of work expected.

Sometimes I feel like we've forgotten what a reputation is and how they work. At the very least, it seems we've decided that opinions are functionally equivalent facts.

Just about everyone uses roads, hospitals, and enjoys the security provided by armed forces (for example, the OP apparently has a computer or smart phone, which I'm betting traveled on a road for some part of its journey from the factory to him, and which I'm betting relied on the implicit security provided by military forces to prevent it being hijacked on the way).

Broadcast television is at an entirely different level of the Maslow hierarchy. It's quite possible to lead a productive and enjoyable life without consuming broadcast television at all, much less one particular channel of broadcast television.

This is a highly naïve view that can only be said somebody who has always lived in a country with free press. Look at Poland, not a dictatorship but increasingly hostile to government critical journalists.

> I'm against all forms of taxation

How do you propose to fund schools, streets, police, military, and fire services? Paying for them individually will not work unless you mean insurances which then are basically a tax.

They cannot just assassinate the character of someone else, just for being anti-vax, so they find someone who is anti-vax AND broke the rules. Then they can focus on the anti-vax aspect as much as they want, because he broke the rules.

Another player was playing with symptomatic covid while most of the media was focussed on Djokovic. Apparently this does not pose a threat, because the other player was vaccinated. Was this other player spreading inactivated covid because of the vaccine?

Pity it's a bit slow, this a fantastic resource.

I was doing a 2 week train trip through Germany last year and used official high speed net maps of German railways to plan a time-efficient route. This is basically very similar on the max-speed layer, I could imagine using that to plan a similar European trip.

Someone posted the infrastructure OSM map, and there are also hiking and bicycling maps based on OSM. I wonder whether it would make sense to consolidate such projects eventually, to be able to combine layers and to have somewhat centralized, equal rendering power.

Great to here that this works in the UK.

The Swiss equivalent has simply declared that "any device capable of using the internet" can also receive television programs, and thus isn't exempt.

So no one with a computer or smartphone is exempt.

(At least this "solves" the apparent problem that UK residents can't watch some UK TV content online for free, while the rest of the world can)
I recommend you to have a backup of that CD before it rot down. That seems pretty cool to loose it.

As you see, these are symbols that can be replaced with a textual description of what they mean - being something like "macros" for text. So as i wrote, we are already using symbols that aren't text and we do enter some of them via dedicated keys on the keyboard.

The main issue here is to see these symbols for what they are: an arbitrary set of symbols that we limit ourselves to because they are printed on the keycaps of the keyboards we have.

But we don't have to only use symbols found on keycaps, we don't have to use keyboards that essentially inherit the same layout and most of the keys from centuries old typewriters, we don't have to limit ourselves to a handful of letters and symbols chosen decades ago for devices that were already primitive in 1980.

The by far main reason we do all that isn't because the current system is better but because of what is essentially software peer pressure.

Your comment does't make any sense. You are saying that the Conservative party are making this huge change to distract from their current problems. Are you saying they created the entire plan in a few weeks? Do you have any evidence for your extraordinary claims?
Nothing alike. Steam Deck is running a full Linux distro under the hood, using existing repositories for updates, along with their own launcher (not DE).
Travelling at any interstellar velocity seems to also be so, because even pretty tiny dust specks can take out a space ship at appreciable fractions of c. So you'd need extremely good radar to avoid/deflect/destroy it (and you don't have long to do so).

Though I suppose at least you can conceivably hope to detect them since you can actually see them at all since the approach is subluminal.
> Media and journalists mostly have a left bias

This is an astonishing comment. Can you justify it?
Is this really the right space to optimize? Having the relevant data on hand in tight array is generally much faster than having to fetch and compute something from somewhere else?

In general it is of course better to store an index to a data where it's needed rather than a copy of the data.
ITV also make short drama series which are often better, in my opinion, and manage to do this without threatening to send people to jail for not contributing financially. You can subscribe for £3.99 to have an almost ad-free experience too. I doubt the BBC could compete at this level as a subscription only service in its current state though?

Worth noting also, the prevelance of BBC ads for its own content which have become something of an irritant over the past few years.
The BBC is welcome to encrypt their broadcasts and sell subscriptions directly.
I wonder if this is due to the cost of materials, or the cost of local labour.
Wait how can they even edit comments?

No sane system should allow that.

Censoring (umm moderating) a comment, sure.

> We should tax the hell out of every ounce of carbon emitted and use money from this tax to pay basic income so that people are able to live with increased prices.

So far so good.

Under free market, the basic income will cause a further price increase, rendering the effort moot.

Subsidizing energy, as Kosovo and Kazakhstan have been doing (resulting in the same consequences on coin mining and crackdown), is necessary, and thus so are the consequences.
UK has population density of 280 people per km2, most of Europe has over 100, USA has 36. It's ok if you put everybody in densely populated areas, but when you spread them around you either pay 10 times the taxes or get 10 times worse infrastructure. There's no cheating math.

> HTML has always ignored them.

No, browsers have always ignored them.

Until HTML5 came along, they were the start of a NET. It was incorrect syntax that would probably end up causing a parse error later in the document thus mangling it. However because browsers didn't fully comply with SGML-based HTML parsing, the mangling didn’t happen and the result was that this syntax mistake would have no effect. Two bugs cancelling each other out.

That is a different situation to HTML5, which explicitly states that it’s an acceptable no-op.

“This is okay, but you don’t need to do anything with it” is a different situation to “This is a NET” followed by “I don’t know what a NET is, so I’m going to mis-parse it as an attribute and then ignore it because it makes no sense as an attribute”.
