Exactly this. I thought this was common knowledge now. You can't ban a bad actor without truly knowing the source of content. Otherwise I can just sabotage my enemies.
I'd argue the effect may be the opposite. Tenant protections lead to homelessness by forcing landlords to be selective against vulnerable peoples, making it harder to get back on their feet after difficult times. Risk in renting to these people is greatly reduced if you can toss them out as soon as they stop paying.
This article is about people being fooled into wiring money to fraudulent actors, not about hacking.
Same thing as "code is law". If a restaurant puts their ordering process on a smart contract and someone orders -1 packets of hot sauce and that rolls over to 2 billion packets that means the restaurant has to provide 2 billion packets of hot sauce to the customer?

Why does that sound like a good situation to anyone?
This is great in creative writing. It's so subjective. What about a math test?
That is an equity issue. Those students who are disadvantaged at the start are often disadvantaged in several ways. And it perpetuates itself: those lower scores will be used to hold the same students back or otherwise decelerate learning, leaving them once again starting off disadvantaged the next term. It also shapes their perception of their ability to advance, and importantly it shapes that perception for their educators and their parents/guardians.
I know this is the idea, but do you know of any practical case where a bureaucracy of rules and guidelines have ever been

(a) actually clear? and

(b) not suffered from the same problems except now encoded in rules that are even more difficult to change?

I mean, this entire thing about the grades is a great case in point: it's a bad system from the start, but it got encoded into rules a long time ago and now it's difficult to change it. You're suggesting adding more rules to fix it, but that just makes it even worse!

There is a middle ground between chaos and full-on bureaucracy and it's "not giving single persons so goddamn much power over other people".

With a healthy dose of democracy, you can collaborate on appropriate procedures without risk of enshrining unfair precedents into firm rules.

> never get concrete feedback on whether you're meeting the goals you need to meet

… but you do get concrete feedback. What more concrete, detailed, specific feedback could there be than comments on what's good and where you need to improve in your work?

Meet all the goals you need to meet, and the teacher's comments will reflect that. Fall short of the goals, and the comments will show you where and how to improve.

See also the passages in the post about students who are there to get the grade more than to learn the material. One approach is about meeting someone else's goals, while the other is perhaps more about meeting your own goals for yourself.
Signal is designed for privacy, not for anonymity.
Elixir + Phoenix/Phoenix LiveView is very good at this. LiveView lets you change state on the server, and have it reflected on the client. Or, when the client does an action, do something on the server (that can then trigger another state change on the client, etc). All of this is purely using Elixir - no need to write JS 99% of the time.
You confuse legal with right. When the government is out for your money, crypto can be a life saver (as the recent russian example shows).

So maybe you shouldn't dismiss it so quickly just because it never happened to you.
The attacker gained control of 5 validator nodes. This is as clearcut as hacking and theft charges can get.
If that cloud were conscious the way you and I are, it would probably be amazed that so much complexity could be compacted into such a tiny space as your brain, our world, teeming with equally complex life and intricate webs of interdependent systems to keep our little bundle of life running must be amazingly interesting to galaxy-sized systems such as that, although I bet it would be terrified of being compressed into such a finite size.

> It is literally impossible for request recipients to solve this problem.

This I agree with. I'm trying to find the actual text of the law, I'm surprised the government isn't pretty specific about what constitutes a valid EDR, who can send them, etc. Bureaucrats love to write rules.

Indeed. I really don’t want any tech bro to come and disrupt the legal framework, move fast and break things. It’s probably not the last thing I want, but quite close. I’d rather work under an imperfect legal system than be at the whim of another sociopathic arsehole.

The results shown in Figure 3 are essentially unrelated to the rest of the paper. It's an experiment that they've included to claim some relevance to humans, and head off the criticism that this is a paper about mice.

At best, you can argue that they show a different inflammatory marker in a group of people who were already unwell. Here's the paper describing the people from whom the 9 samples were chosen:

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2033369

> We performed conventional histopathological examination of the brains of 18 patients. Fourteen patients had chronic illnesses, including diabetes and hypertension, and 11 had been found dead or had died suddenly and unexpectedly. Of the 16 patients with available medical histories, 1 had delirium, 5 had mild respiratory symptoms, 4 had acute respiratory distress syndrome, 2 had pulmonary embolism, and the symptoms were not known in 3

I can't tell which of these patients were used in this study, but...there's a lot going on with these samples. One of the patients was a meth addict, and another was a heroin addict, yet another was an alcoholic, and two others had recurrent seizures from prior head injuries!

Hammurabi's laws only work when they have a monopoly on violence to enforce said laws.

Shitcoins (all of them) remove the potential of violence as a means of corrective action. Instead, you have crazy hard math stopping you. Can't do the math? Then you're not forcing your decision.

Isn't this already the case, except right now it's states like California or Texas that don't matter, since they always vote the same way anyway?
That's because football clubs and players are clambering on the Crypto/NFT bandwagon as a way to fleece supporters of more money. Things like crypto for having your say and voting on club matters. This is ultimately an example of the crux of the argument in the article - the grifters are diverting the possibility of any real constructive discussion so that all that is left is pretty crass comments like comparing HN and Ukraine. Unless that was Boris Johnson who left that comment, then it's standard behaviour.
I don't think you're wrong at all. Considering symantec is mining with your computer on top of all the other terrible things anti-virus companies do to your computer, at this point a virus might be less intrusive.
Remove the bad stuff and only keep the good stuff of something? Why haven't we thought of this before, it's genius!
>I think the majority sided with the move (which is why Ethereum soldiers on and EC is basically useless).

Hahaha, no, the wealthy sided with the move. Of the 82,054,716 ETH in existence, only 4,542,416 voted, for a total voter turn out of 5.5% of the total supply on 16 July 2016; 3,964,516 ETH (87%) voted in favor, 1/4 of which came from a single address, and 577,899 ETH (13%) opposed the DAO fork.

Vitalik and his friends stood to lose a lot of money, and being the biggest players in town with their premined shitcoin, voted against them losing money.
Grades are averaged mostly because it is an obvious operation that sort of make sense, but the core issue to me is that what a grade _is_, how it is computed, and how it is then used are all nebulous concepts beyond "higher is better".

Marketing communications on a blog need to be better planned than this.

I'm a bit of an expert in the graph and document space and sometimes I have been in a position to recommend or specify a product. I see it as a very crowded space, terminusdb is going to have to work to convince me that it's worth my time to really understand their offering, never mind that I should put my reputation on the line by advocating for it.

The blog is a place where a company like that can demonstrate that it is going to do the right thing for customers, employees, vendors, investors and other interested parties. As it is I'd be a little embarrassed if I was recommending their product to a client and had to make excuses for them and tell clients "really there is a good team behind it, ignore that blog positing, it is just a fluke..."
Because it's cool money, and because it's a legal gray area.

I can't wait for the law to change.

At some point there will be a tax for receiving and sending dollars to a blockchain converter, or it will require some heavy regulations and control, and then maybe things will improve.

Unless people understand the Blockchain is used to launder money, nothing will change.
Lots have bridges have figured out good auditing mechanisms, and have built in fail-safes, circuit breakers, daily limits, etc. Those aren't the ones in the news for getting hacked though.
It isn't even just the limits of the notes themselves. Physical theft has to be done on location. You have to steal the money and get away as far as possible as quickly as possible. And there are local laws and police equipped to go after you.

How do you deal with it when the money could be in the pockets of an Eastern European teenager with one script run?
yes it is. part of the benefit of grades and semesters is to compare students. good students want that!
A lot. It'd be worth addressing. We see growing evidence of this.

Many are new too. Viral dynamics... changed with the rise of cities a few thousand years back.
You would use something like WKD and not the web of trust. https://wiki.gnupg.org/WKD
Because Google and Bing (therefore Duck) are increasingly answer engines, keeping you on their page, supporting the SEO ecosystem and most importantly their ad revenues and network customers.

I don't believe this has been tested in the courts.

But I don't see much difficulty in convincing a court that this fits the definition of theft in some jurisdictions.

In the UK: "Theft is defined by section 1 of the 1968 Act as dishonestly appropriating property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it."

A brief explanation of each of those terms is given, and I don't see any particular problems related to this being cryptocurrency. The point that "smart contracts allow what the code says and nothing else matters" does not fit with the dishonesty interpretation that "The owner would agree to their taking it if they knew about it".

parent is talking about the financial system run by algorithms designed to evade sanctions and regulation, not being your own bank.

You absolutely can keep millions under your mattress and some do when they cannot launder it but it would be up to you to reverse the transaction in a forced wealth transfer vs the bank who can simply trace or even reverse a fraudulent transaction.

There was a lot of web 2.0 hype around the late 90s / early aughts. Lots of companies that tried to cash in on a trend without a solid business model. That said, the situation was appreciably different to now.

Web 2.0, as I understand it, was about increasing interactivity so websites aren't all static, which has the possibility of being beneficial to end users. Web 3.0, as I understand it, is crypto-nonsense.

If code is law this is perfectly legal.

I suppose in the real world intent would matter a lot.

That is exactly the reason why "code is law" is such an absurd concept. A piece of code alone will never be able to tell you what its initial intention was.
I’m currently working to improve my CW proficiency to be able to work QRP more effectively. I absolutely second your recommendation against trying to learn the Morse alphabet visually. It’s counterproductive.

The usual advice I’ve encountered in the CW community is that it’s much better to start learning the aural rhythms of the letters from the outset; otherwise, you put yourself at a pretty serious disadvantage when you’re trying to think in terms of dits and dahs rather than letters and letter groups. You’re interposing a step that will always slow you down in both copying and sending.

https://lcwo.net/ is a great resource to start learning using the Koch Method (characters are learned at 20 wpm speed from the beginning, but with larger spaces between characters to reduce the overall effective speed to make it easier).

For the more dedicated, https://cwops.org/cw-academy/ offers a series of online courses with live instructors. I’ve heard great things about them.

> You're assuming that someone who grew up in a rural area is destined to be a farmer no matter what

Not at all.

I live in an area where 4H is big. Many of those people go to Davis and seem to be very happy with their choice, and it seems to be a good fit. Some go to Stanford or Berkeley, and the differences in interests are pretty obvious, even though they are all 4H participants.

If someone is in a club called Future Farmers of America, and they are knocking it out of the ballpark in FFA, then I would expect that there is a high probability that they will have a lot of future prospects in ag. Harvard and Stanford are (usually) pretty bad fits if you want a career in ag, although I can imagine cases when they are actually a good fit. That said, I think the onus is on the applicant (any applicant actually) to show why they are a good fit.

> The same logic would suggest that a kid who won a music competition in high school shouldn't apply to Berkeley because the other Berklee would be a better fit for them

Similarly, if someone has a lot of music accolades but thinks that Berkeley or Stanford or Harvard is a better fit than Berklee, then I think that the onus is on the applicant to explain why. I am definitely not saying it’s impossible or even difficult, rather just that it needs to be done to show that the school is a good fit.

If you spend much time at these elite schools, you see a few people (more than I would prefer) who are completely fish out of water. They are miserable. Sometimes it is because they are not academically prepared (hard to believe, but true), sometimes they have culture shock due to being not from the NE corridor (for Ivies), sometimes they have geographic shock (winters can really suck if you are from SoCal or Hawaii), sometimes they don’t have many peers who share similar interests (e.g., hardcore FFA folks might fall into this category), etc. Many of these students transfer out or drop out. Those are basically failures in fit that admissions officers try to avoid while also maintaining a diverse class (“diverse” here including geographic and SES diversity).
She said she gave lots of detailed feedback on all the assignments, and opportunities for revision.

Yes. Impossible to change some would say. So my message was wear it
with pride. There's a philosopher called Kierkegaard who would say
that you can't be "cured" of what you are. And since empathy is a
gift, instead make it a superpower. That happens when you control it
instead of it controlling you. Good luck, and I hope your gift brings
you great things.
The math test is subjective too, because what determines your grade is what questions the teacher included just as much as your ability in the subject.

I don't understand your point.
In ranking presidential candidates, most left-or-center-leaning voters would rank any and every Democrat above any and every Republican, with Trump as their very last choice. So the presence or not of any specific candidate doesn't change the outcome. They would have voted in whomever the Democrat Nominee was.
"We are working with law enforcement officials..."

If the promise of ETH contracts is that code is law and to eliminate needing trust, then how and why would law enforcement get involved?

Did the attackers break down the door and steal the money? Or did the provide a widget that met the contract and which just happened to have the unfortunate side-effect of siphoning off tokens, a bug which will be fixed in the next revision of the contract...

I 100% agree this behavior is immoral, but as web3 coders become essentially lawyers, is it illegal? The further we go from fiat currency, are we burdening a specific countries tax-funded investigation and enforcement?

Fascinating stuff!
Tau Herculid meteors in May might be intense
Few new starter homes in my (non-trendy) city. However, once builders started working again around '12, they started putting up both McMansions and spectacularly ugly apartment buildings (partially fills the role of the starter home, I guess, in that at least it's a place to live, if not a stepping stone to financial stability, so should take pressure off the market) at a crazy-fast pace. Construction everywhere, constantly. Downtown? New several new or converted high-rise apartment buildings. Just off downtown? Tons of new ugly-ass mid-rise apartment buildings in that new style everyone's using. 'Burbs? New and developing McMansion-filled neighborhoods everywhere, and a ton more of those same ugly apartment buildings.

Doesn't seem to have done much to keep housing prices under control, and houses still sell so fast that you blink and a new listing will be gone. We can't possibly be a major location for internal migration—not like cities in California or Texas or anything of that sort—so IDK what's up with that. My 20ish year old McMansion has increased in value about 30% over the last two years, and was already way up from just a few years earlier. WTF.
Is anyone else concerned that the screening report just has yes/no for existence of landlord-tenant court records? Regardless of whether the tenant won (or even started, it could be the landlord getting sued for security deposit for example) the case.
I mean, or we could not catastrophize and slippery-slope this. Given the eye-rolls and push-back just on evidence here, I don't think this idea has legs. I wonder how much of this is generational. Like "how freaking entitled are these kids now?" Publishing manuals on how to talk to them. Not saying I fully believe that, but it's the obvious "get off my lawn ya damn kids" reaction.
Thanks! Glicol looks very cool. Ya I am familiar with those headers and I've actually tested it with this, the issue was that I rely on iframes for a few of my apps (Browser & Video Player w/YouTube), and those headers break it.

Yes. All college courses, even "100" (intro/freshman) level, have some expectations about what the students already know. Students who don't have that background should take remedial courses or go to junior college or just be prepared to do a lot more outside work on their own.

It should not be a university's job to "fix" unprepared students, whether due to the student's prior indifference to his education, or because that eduction was provided poorly.
