Perhaps, but honestly, I think Schumpeterian creative destruction is... at this point, more of an idealistic take.

It exists, but it isn't a permanent feature of the big fish economy that stock markets represent. There are processes like online travel retail overtaking travel agenting. That's a sort of creative destruction. Mostly though, travel agents were an SME sector. Like the proverbial (and literal) restaurant trade, they're subject to market forces in this way and the theory often plays out in practice. Heavy price competition. Creative destruction. Etc.

Banking OTOH, doesn't really have a creative destruction dynamic to speak of. Most auto manufacturers are what and who they were 20 or 50 years ago. Big tech, also, doesn't compete like restaurants do. It's more about holding control via network effects, platforms or whatnot. Avoiding head to head competition and market price dynamics entirely.

GME fell somewhere in the middle. They're kind of restaurant like, but also relatively big and publicly traded.

In any case, the financial meta game can often be more relevant and determinant of reality than market dynamics as per Schumpeter, JS Mill and the like.

I think the idea is to avoid doing the whole checking dependencies, and fast-build your whole system. Suppose you build a new compiler plugin/pass, you just want to force-recompile most stuff without going through all the build and autostuff.

It helps building dependency graphs, so that you can run static analysis tools. Coverity IIRC does something like that to get the list of units, and build (preprocessor directives, etc) options.
This looks interesting, thanks.
The point is not that the product didn't work. The point is that the use of blockchain technology had absolutely no (positive) impact on its viability or usefulness or reliability.

Blockchains have very few very specific usecases, and nobody wants to admit that their usecase isn't one of them.

The argument you have presented is a classic tactic that the state uses to justify censorship and its abuse of power. Present scary group of people and then use it to justify taking away everyone's rights.

it is a nonsense because. Firstly There simply isn't enough for these people to be politically relevant. The number of KKK members in the US IIRC is approximately 10,000 in a country of ~350 million. That is 0.002% of the population. Nobody likes these people, they are abrasive and have abhorrent views. They are not going to gain power and start a genocide through airing their views.

The hate speech laws in the UK was sold to the public as stopping islamic extremists, however many of the people that have been affected are ordinary people that pose no threat to anyone saying stupid stuff on social media, usually while drunk. That was not the original intent of the legislation yet it has been abused (and we were promised this wouldn't happen).

Secondly most abuses of power come from the state that is already in power. Over the last two years they have made it illegal in some cases to leave your home or not to wear a mask under the guise of the "greater good". In some cases people been have arrested people for organising protests against such measures, or even been visited by the police for questioning the orthodoxy of the state mandates on social media. In the US I heard they can literally take your property if they suspect (have no proof) that it might be used in illegal activity.

This childish idea of white nationalists taking over the western world if you don't curtail speech is simply the state justifying why it can take away your liberty. You shouldn't be worried about white nationalists they are a statistical anomaly now. What you should be afraid of is how the state is going to abuse its power with new legislation.

The thing that is interesting to me about this idea is that it is at the moment the only way that you can have a program make an automated payment and have that program verifiable by your customer.

Your point seems to be that having an automated payment for this case is easy. Yes, it is, but if it's running in a datacenter somewhere on hardware you control, the user cannot inspect or ask someone else to inspect the program that controls that payment. They can't see when it changes. They cannot be sure that a published claim that the payment is automatic will really be held to, or even that a trade reviewer will get the same treatment as them so it doesn't help address the deficit of trust.

A smart contract gives you another way of making a publicly verifiable claim about your payments process. It's an additional tool in building trust.

I'm not the OP, but I have plenty of comparative experience working with Python and JS on the backend (node) and I find PHP to be a very decent option compared to those two.

PHP has an amazing infrastructure of third-party libraries/packages around it, particularly if you're using PHP for web development. In comparison, Python simply does not have the same quality of framework for web like Symfony or Laravel. Django is good, but just that - good. And then there's the matter of speed with Python which is by all metrics slower than PHP.

Then there's node. Node is significantly faster than PHP, but all that speed is wasted away because of all that nightmarish mess that is node_modules. Node infrastructure for backend web dev is nowhere near close to where PHP or even Python is.

The Japanese might have done but I hadn't so i looked it up. Here is a summary in case anyone else was in my position:

" Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is a heterodox macroeconomic framework that says monetarily sovereign countries like the U.S., U.K., Japan, and Canada, which spend, tax, and borrow in a fiat currency that they fully control, are not operationally constrained by revenues when it comes to federal government spending.

Put simply, such governments do not rely on taxes or borrowing for spending since they can print as much as they need and are the monopoly issuers of the currency. Since their budgets aren’t like a regular household’s, their policies should not be shaped by fears of rising national debt.

MMT challenges conventional beliefs about how the government interacts with the economy, the nature of money, the use of taxes, and the significance of budget deficits. These beliefs, critics say, are a hangover from the gold standard era and are no longer accurate, useful, or necessary.

MMT is used in policy debates to argue for such progressive legislation as universal healthcare and other public programs for which governments claim to not have enough money to fund. "

> if it were due to the teacher, there would have been hundreds of Shakespeares from all the pupils that teacher taught throughout their career.

They would not. Because many of those kids would move on to do something different. And also because success is more then just ability. Economy can not have hundreds of famous play writers, there are not enough theaters.
I have like a gazillion computers (desktops, laptops, tablets, phones). There’s the right time and place for everything. It’s just that tablets are perfect for consumption (reading books, comics, web pages, videos, …).

I was very skeptical in the past. Surely I wouldn’t need a “toy” like that. Then I got one from my employer (not even a good one) and it really blew me away, especially in comparison to the convertible laptop I had. Yes it’s “just a big phone” but that’s just the magical thing. It’s always on, it has a big screen and is rather lightweight. Battery lasts basically forever. What’s not to like? Laptops on the couch? In bed even? Small phone screens? No thanks.
Good that you are reflecting and asking this question now. If you waited until 50 to do this, you might have a much darker view of life.

Explore a bit, ideally without concern for what might make money. Try to find one or more real passions, even if they are only short term. Then pursue them.
Your point seems to be about this specific product.

My point is about the idea of using a blockchain to increase transparency and verifiability of a process that makes payments.

This is one of the 'very few, very specific' use cases that blockchains are good at.
Honestly I find I have a fairly low success rate with audiobooks. Temporary distractions might cause me to zone out and miss a part of the story, and "rewinding" to listen to the same part again isn't as easy as just re-reading a paragraph. I also find that I can be put off good books by poor narration, particularly if there is a lot of dialogue involved.

I find I have most success with "pop science" books. Not too deep or difficult to follow, little or no dialogue.

> should I continue to pay thrice as much for a book that I'd enjoy twice as less?

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but are you saying you are paying three times as much for an audiobook as for its physical equivalent? If so, where/how? I've cancelled it now, but when I had an Audible subscription, it worked out as way cheaper per book IIRC.

Yes - and this is also what happens in nature all the time. Only slower and random.

And even with the slow method of natural breeding, poisenous traits can creep back in. The potential and speed of GMO methods is just way higher. For good and also bad results. So it is not the same.

For me, a "beginner friendly language" has these properties:

* A welcoming, helping and open community.

* Built-in guidance or enforcement away from The Wrong Way and towards The Right Way. E.g. by making the former hard to do and the latter easy.

* Ecosystem of high-quality, properly designed libraries and sample code.

I see this in e.g. Rust. But e.g. JavaScript or PHP fail on all my three points. As does my main language, Ruby, sadly.

I am extremely happy that I do not have children and that I do not have to deal with children. I have so many meaningful relationships with adults and wonderful life experiences and every morning I look forward to continuing with the day. I do not desire children and I'm completely fine with not having them at all.

Once again and as predicted, we have another 'web3 is a ponzi' article. The creators of web3, and everyone else knows it is a giant scam, just like how ICOs where in 2017. All thanks to and started by Ethereum.

Not sure why this article presents this as a great surprise or a new discovery. Sure, the majority of NFTs (Especially the JPEGs) are a pump-n-dump ponzi scam selling images to each other. When the NFT craze runs out of steam, 90% of all the image/audio/video types of NFTs will collapse. 10% of the other NFTs will survive with a valid use case.

I don't see how the whole 'web3' narrative should apply to every single cryptocurrency and project in existence, like how this article has done. Just look at this sentence and the quote:

> A person investing in crypto or a shared future on the blockchain is said to hate Earth and support the “hyperfinancialization of all human existence.”

How does that apply to every single cryptocurrency as the author of this tweet has just generalized? [0]

> is not an ad-hominem, it's an inconsistency or an error in their argument.

If your position is that one person can make an argument and be wrong because of other things that other person did, you are not denying that the same argument could, possibly, be made by another person and be right. Therefore, this is not arguing against the argument, it is simply opposing the person making it. Hence, ad hominem.

> The accusation of hypocrisy, and blindness to the faults of their favoured group is pertinent

Well, maybe. But at best it’s a tangential issue to the actual argument put forward.

> relevant to the arguments being put forward.

No. Bad things are wrong, and you shouldn’t need to resort to personal attacks in order to argue against them.

> I am not expressing a logical disagreement with the premise of the article, merely laughing at the bald-facedness and ignorance of it.

Sure, but take care that you do not lower the discource down to “Well, you’re ugly!”. Try to argue the points, not the people.

Ask HN: Alternative to Google My Maps for Mobile
As you may have heard, Google My Maps [0] has recently shut down their Android mobile app. A subset of the functionality has been integrated into the Google Maps app, but it isn't possible anymore to edit points and lines on mobile.

I used Google My Maps as a way to create and share geological points (POI, markers, pins) on my travel blog:
- When traveling, I could create points, even while offline, in My Maps
- An embed My Maps iframe would be dispayed on my website, and friends and family could follow me around

Is there any alternative for Android (offline, syncable, iframe-able) that can do this, or any other solution to achieve the above?

> Schumpeterian creative destruction is... at this point, more of an idealistic take

Schumpeterian creative destruction is an ideal. But the process of innovation it describes is well documented in the study of entrepreneurship, venture capital, new firm formation and the industrial dynamic of new entrance.

> isn't a permanent feature of the big fish economy that stock markets represent

Most of the stock market isn’t Goliaths. Formation and destruction still reigns in most of the economy. There, short sellers add value. (I’m more sceptical of private equity and its leverage tactics.)

> Banking OTOH, doesn't really have a creative destruction dynamic to speak of. Most auto manufacturers are what and who they were 20 or 50 years ago

Banking and auto manufacturers share a history in being bailed out. Big Tech looks like a classic market failure, though Facebook’s stumbling gives me pause on that conclusion.
Around that time I bought two or three issues (of the italian edition) due to it being often cited. I wasn't thrilled at all.
