Cryptocurrency, along with mixnets, end to end encryption, the internet itself, and a scattering of other technologies together make it possible to create a (or more likely several) virtual electronic realms outside the control of existing sociopolitical power structures and unbounded by geography.

They eventually should make it possible to do this unstoppably.

Whether or not these systems, communities, and economies solve any problems for you primarily depends on two things:

1. How accepted they become by the rest of the world (they are more likely to be useful if they can become part of, and enhance, our lives - for example by cutting out exploitative middlemen from some types of transaction or providing for cheap, frictionless, ubiquitous micropayments)

2. How abusive and/or broken our meatspace societies become (you might feel differently about bitcoin, Tor and the rest in an authoritarian fascist regime with hyperinflation than you do in today’s America, for example)

In a few cases we have solved real problems that require this new digital realm to solve, but there’s certainly more to do (as is evident if you try using current iterations of the tech, or better, ask a non technical friend to!).

Some examples:

- The problem of slow innovation in finance. DeFi might be a toy that’s currently learning everything we already know but it’s doing so rapidly and already creating a few innovations on the edges

- The problem of rebellion and civil disobedience — which are important democratic acts that have shaped much of the world we live in today — in an age of ubiquitous information and financial surveillance and control

- the problem of moving US dollars (or somethings close enough for many uses) around if you, your organisation, or even your country is locked out of the US correspondent banking system, because like it or not, dollars are the world’s reserve currency at this point in time

- etc.
Thanks. It seems that's not exactly correct. ICMP has type, code and checksum fields. Rest of data is type-specific. But echo-request and echo-reply types do have identifier and sequence fields indeed.
I guess you're on the other side of the fence. I don't dispute that the code can be fine.. but Y2K is strongly applicable here. I would personally worry if my financial institution depended on a bytecode interpreter to run Cobol for a dead OS rather than reimplement.

Rust might be the sexy language but surely Erlang or Haskell would be the wise choices?

Nope. They are blaming the banners on the "greedy" websites. Not on the broken law.

Speculative coins aside, stablecoins solve a problem that has been there forever - they allow you to actually own your money.

Without them the only way to keep your money not in cash is give them to 3rd party (banks/investment funds etc) which is just absurd.

And if you are not in top country, those third parties can collapse/be blocked in a blink of an eye (and they always and often do).

In IPv6 each host has 2^64 addresses and the kernel just advertises its configured prefix to its router which then delegates routing to it. Instead of one address multiplexed onto 65535 ports, since every host now has 1.844674407371e19 addresses just use those.
> Bi-directional linking, by contrast, creates a link from the first note to the second, and from the second to the first automatically. Roam made this extremely easy to accomplish—just by typing pieces of your notes in [[ brackets ]] you could link between notes, and even create new ones if the note you were linking to didn’t already exist.

I don't think Roam invented this. I remember using Notational Velocity on my mac ~10 years ago which is centred around this concept, also using those double brackets in the exact same way.

You should probably get to know some critical aspects of markets too, this article just praises them. That is pretty much the norm, but I think it's a valuable educational endeavour to look at critiques of markets.
That's a really nice mental model for it.

I learned a similar concept in Typography class... for an assignment to design a new number. I was a little indecisive and apologized when I showed up to critique with two different number drawings [0]. My professor (Cyrus Highsmith [1]) looked at them and said not to worry because they were the same number anyways. I didn't get it at first, but a few minutes after sitting back down I realized what he meant, and it's stuck with me ever since.

Using the 7-segment display as an example would have been a great way to explain the concept to me at the time. I'll remember that for next time!

Also a cool way to think about it, because it begs the question of which 7-segment permutations don't map to existing symbols, for whenever someone needs to design a new one in the future.

As an AnCap, I don't think BTC itself will help the cause much (its profits might).

The government will just crack down on it eventually and the transparency of the blockchain will be used against you.

We need a political solution, not a technical one. In my ideal society I would still have private banks and I would have a currency 100% backed by real goods. There just wouldn't be a government bailing out banks when they screw up, vomiting up regulations and stealing your money every year.

That said, some of my friends went all in on BTC and got insanely rich, started buying islands in the Caribbean and places in Switzerland. Hopefully some of the crypto money will start a government-less society experiment somewhere, somehow, at some point.
The absolute simplest setup that i've ever seen would be along the lines of the following:

- PHP on the server, regular .php files that process the requests
- Apache2/httpd as your web server
- SQLite as your database (just a file), through PHP's PDO
- just regular JS/CSS files for additional functionality that you need (e.g. add jQuery/Bootstrap)
- no Composer or reliance on external dependencies or package management whatsoever

That said, every application that i've seen that has been written this way has been pretty bad - eventually you develop your own badly tested and badly documented abstractions that will slow you down towards the end of the project development and will cripple most of the developers that will need to take over your mess. Furthermore, security is generally an issue, since you should almost never write your own security code under most circumstances, but you probably will do just that with this approach. Also, managing the installation will eventually be a bit problematic, as your current PHP version will be deprecated.

For those reasons (and some others), i'd generally advise people to go with one of the other popular web frameworks with server side rendering:

- PHP with Laravel/Lumen/Slim
- Ruby with Rails
- Python with Django

Now, some might prefer having a separate front end application (Angular, React, Vue, Svelte) from the back end (probably REST for its simplicity), but that's just introducing more complexity into the mix than necessary in this case, even though it has other benefits in regards to eventually scaling and/or swapping out bits of functionality for other technologies down the road.

Personally, i'd look in the direction of using something like MariaDB for the simpler apps that might need to eventually have a separate DB instance, as well as containers for managing the runtimes of everything as well as networking (Docker, Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, rather than something complicated like Kubernetes), but none of that is also strictly necessary.

As for the actual servers, just get an Ubuntu LTS VPS on whatever provider is affordable to you. It has a long life cycle, is generally pretty well documented and pretty boring. That way you can also migrate elsewhere if need be.

> I really don't see what this brings. Is google so lost that the only "innovation" they can bring in android is descovering that the linux kernel has support for virtualization ?

When talking about the strategy of a successful multibillion dollar company, the most likely answer is "no".

The very short article explains at a high level:

"they’re used for things like enhancing the security of the kernel (or at least trying to) and running miscellaneous code (such as third-party code for DRM, cryptography, and other closed-source binaries) outside of the Android OS."
The purpose is slightly different though: on sails their goal is to detect turbulence and stalls.
Question really isn't about USD or Euro. You are already quite happy if you have either.

But let's say you are in Africa and have a lot of local hyper-inflating currency. Who will give you crypto for that? Or at least more than they need for immediate needs.
Saw this in my company few years ago when "agile" management was at the helm. But it was more in "cut X % workforce immediately", repeated few times even when financials were OK. It stressed people to no end, even well above average ones.

Quite a few better ones left on their own. The company definitely lost overall. The next CEO guy came targeted especially this - something along the lines of "we let leavers/retirees go and just don't hire for now". It worked wonders, people were more focused on actual work and job hunting.
> Because it's open-source, has been reviewed extensively, and people (with various degrees of expertise) keep looking at it.

Sooo your security is based on blind trust in some people out there who definitely do keep looking at Signal's apps, somehow verify that every shipped version of their app contain the same code as their open source repository? That's a lot of trusting.

(Wouldn't it be simpler to just trust Signal not to watch what you are texting to your significant other, and keep everything without encryption, saving yourself a lot of trouble?)

> E2EE on Signal means I don't have to trust that some employees won't abuse their rights to access my data.

So your threat model are Signal's employees who might be stalking you? You know, you could run a $2/month xmpp server that would serve you just fine, and you wouldn't have to worry about any threat of this kind. This not-working-federated-protocol is surprisingly effective in sending and receiving messages.
Problem with policies like this is that it creates zero employee loyalty. You will not feel bad about leaving them at a time which hurts them because you know they would never have your back. Thus you will not have theirs either.

Japanese managers have remarked on this problem in the US when hiring. You cannot easily invest in employees in the US. Investing in training reduce the amount of salary you are able to pay, so people leave as soon as they have training for a better paid job which doesn’t offer training.

Of course Japan is perhaps a bit extreme in this area but as a Scandinavia I have observed the same problem with fellow Scandinavians working in the US. Many remake on the natural loyalty you have been raised with slowly evaporating under US work conditions.

I'm not in the loop here, most of the games I've installed from steam are in the 1GB to 20GB range, with a few outliers up to 80GB (I guess). IIRC some recent AAA games are in the 200GB range due to HQ textures. So I think 400GB games are realistic within the next decade. But honestly, it was just a random example. Just s/single 400GB game/400GB of whatever/ ;-)
> do folks review their notes at all?

Review as in look at every single one of them from time to time? No.

But I do review them as in it's my first stop in finding something. It's my personal DDG for repetitive queries (vaguely remembering a quote, needing a reminder of some code syntax, or what happened in a book I've read 3 years ago and kinda liked). All my notes are oriented towards what my future self might actually want to find: most important things at the top, going in more details if I scroll down, sometimes adding unnecessary words just because future self might search for them in hopes of reaching that note, etc.

I'm firmly of an opinion that if the search bar in your notes app isn't the most crucial part of your workflow, you're doing something wrong and wasting your time.
I worked at Amazon for five years. I was rated top-tier year over year. By the time I left, I was cynical. I had developed gum disease. I had become overweight. I was a brilliant engineer (“technically fearless” in my promo feedback) and people loved working with me, but I was broken inside. I also happen to earn a small fortune, but at the cost of my physical and mental health. Amazon did not value me as a human being.

Amazon managers lacked humanity. We had a crazy high bar for engineering talent, but engineering managers and technical program managers seemed to have no bar. Many of them were hired directly by the senior manager or director, brought from their former company as part of an empire building exercise.

These people would squirm and flail at Amazon. They couldn’t keep up. They didn’t understand the technology.

So, what happens is they project their insecurities, get behind on communications, fail to set expectations on projects… and when they panic, one outcome is some poor engineer is going to get thrown under the bus.

You can be rated top tier at amazon, which is the highest rating in the company’s annual review process. Even then, you’re going to receive feedback about your weaknesses, why you’re not good enough, how you could do even better.

The corporate propaganda machine has coined a term around this, “Growth Areas”. Your peers are encouraged to provide feedback on your growth areas, and in the feedback they should write specific anecdotes and stories on how you failed or why what you did was not good enough.

At the end of the day, it’s a place were no matter what you do, how hard you work, how many hours you put in, how much impact you have, You will go home feeling bad about yourself. That you’re not good enough.

The pace and the hours are grueling. People make decisions to build their own empire within Amazon and get their coveted Sr Manager and Director promotions. You’re just a means to an end.
There were rulings finding IP addresses by themselves are already PII[0], because an IP address might be tracked back to a person. E.g. an IP address can potentially be used to go to an ISP and request the subscriber information, and the subscriber information potentially identifies the user of the IP address at a given time, if the subscriber cannot name anybody else who could have reasonably used used the IP address at a given time. Courts found that this abstract risk is enough to qualify IP addresses as PII, as they can potentially identify people indirectly.

The recent German ruling about loading Google Fonts without prior consent explicitly mentioned these rulings and made them a core part of their own conclusions.

[0] The most important ruling is the Breyer ruling (C‑582/14), that found, answering question one, that "dynamic" IP addresses are PII. Further rulings have regularly found that "static" IP addresses are PII, and that you cannot really know what is a "dynamic" and a "static" IP address with reasonable certainty anyway.

"Article 2(a) of Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data must be interpreted as meaning that a dynamic IP address registered by an online media services provider when a person accesses a website that the provider makes accessible to the public constitutes personal data within the meaning of that provision, in relation to that provider, where the latter has the legal means which enable it to identify the data subject with additional data which the internet service provider has about that person."

"In the corner of the student union building there is a coffee shop, and in the corner of the coffee shop are two students. Liz taps away at the keyboard of the battered hand-me-down MacBook her brother gave her when she moved away to college. To her left on the bench seat, Tim scrawls equations on a coil-bound notebook. Between them is a half-empty cup of room temperature coffee that Liz sporadically sips from to stay awake.

Across the room, the barista looks up from his phone to glance around the shop. ..."

Has anyone cloned and re-hosted your site?

Somebody has to do the hosting. Even if it s a federated platform, somebody has to care, federation just mixes up the content a bit. We should be demanding for public archives of people's information.

The problem is that aggregators dont make money from the hosting of the content but by indexing it/mixing it/recommending it. So they have no real incentive to store the content (but they do want the metadata). I think the solution is that we should all have publicly-provided storage space in the form of a free blog or email. Something very simple, could be just text/pics, that is at guaranteed not to be shutdown and is actually protected by free speech laws. Someone has to build the roads

I guess the OP was from the US. Most US providers still seem to live in the mental world of selling SIM-locked phones, they are no smooth experience for customers bringing their own device.

Prices for just a SIM without buying a phone seem to be pretty high.

Here selling SIM-locked phones is not even legal. In most European countries it is legal, but still less common than in the US. So operators have to serve customers not buying a device from them on competitive terms.
