In my opinion most general Problem that web3 is solving is related to coordination https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_failure_(econom...

citing: "Coordination failure can lead to an underemployment equilibrium.[3] "

... other problem worth mentioning is lack of trust and transparency.

There are many more specific side-problems as well depending on the specific use case etc. in web3 projects
This is the most damning observation of Silicon Valley. They’ve killed art. Social media is notably lacking original visual and musical arts, and it’s because they’ve happily focused on selling butts and boobs using copyright and DMCA as cover.

Combined with the incessant reliance on AI and no hope of humanity ever connecting with the customers, we have a perfect shitstorm.
Whoa that's pretty neat. Do you have a physical prototype yet like a 3D printed case around it, battery, etc? I know you mentioned GPS but wondering if you would consider a hardware input like an rpm reader on the tires.
Spotify royalties are pathetic because people don’t want to pay very much for music.

Even without all the shitty middlemen taking huge slices of the pie, I’m paying less than $4 (family account) to play thousands of songs from hundreds of artists
I do control which smart contracts I interact with, based on my own tolerance to risk. I'm not allowed to do that with traditional traditional banking, but sure - if you want that product (and don't want the control), I can see why DeFi doesn't have a place in your life.
>Almost nobody my age was playing computer games, only people working in industry.

I recall these days and this statement has some truth to it. Sure, a lot of folks had home computers, but they were mostly people who were interested in computers in the first place, and that was because of their work in the industry.
> Still, I don’t think the “metaverse” or non fungible tokens will have any long term relevance simply because nobody was asking for this crap to begin with.

I listened to the podcast between Lex Friedman and Mark Zuckerberg the other day and I remember Mark describing the metaverse and one comment got me, he said how you would no longer have to go to a concert or gathering to be there, you and all your friends could join up and go see it in the metaverse.

And I thought to myself "Mark, this is not why people go to concerts". Yes people go to concerts to hear the music, but that's only part of the draw. It's the vibration in the floor, the screaming fans, the whole environment that makes you want to go, not just the music.

I think that Facebook is making a grand miscalculation with the metaverse. They assume people will "Do X in the metaverse" versus "Doing X in real life", missing the point that people don't necessarily go do X for X itself, they do it for all the other small reasons including X.
Close! Aussie. I thought primo was a yankee word though.
Interesting. I learned a similar concept from the late Hans Rosling in his book Factfulness.

He described that we tend to not derive actionable insights from most news we consume (my wording). I felt the concept to be too similar to be a coincidence. He probably knew Postman's ideas.
The bottleneck is content, especially RPGs require a lot: Art, models, sounds, music, dialogs, story, gui, level design, etc. And everything in a consistent style otherwise it looks too cheap.

Multiplayer games require little content relative to play time. Single player do though and thus there are only very few open source ones.
They didn't say it was. They said it's a barrier to having ones gifts recognized. Or at least that's my interpretation.
Democracy being two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. Of course that's a narrow definition of democracy, and I think in practice we also include things like institutions, civil discourse, separation of powers, and constitutional law, in what we mean by democracy.
You aren’t entirely wrong, but why are you posting this now? What’s the rhetorical goal here?
The cynicism is fueled by opinions like yours that present a false dichotomy of "western democracy (implied as the gold standard) or anything else (implied as garbage)". This is pure western exceptionalism. The only reason you think your "flawed democracy" bubble is as good as it is is due to the fact that your foreign policy espouses anything BUT democracy, and in its continual aggressions is able to sustain this garden of eden illusion on its citizens. When you see other countries' foreign policies as barbaric and backwards, you get the impression that your country is great. But you do not get to experience your own foreign policy. That is the force of propaganda at work.

Cynics perhaps understand this and think instead outside of the dichotomy. Maybe we can do much better, and the forces in the way of that are powerful --hence the cynicism.
This does kind of get me thinking: why do we need to include full copies of licenses in distributions anyway? Couldn’t we just include the name of the license and relevant details?

What attitude am i conveying? I really dont know, english is not my first language.

I just dont think that most people just care what the thing is running as long as it does the job. Computers are an appliance to many, just like a toaster. If the functionality is close to what theyre used to (windows or mac) then there shouldnt be big adaptility problems until they want to go deeper into the device than web browsing.
First step is admitting you need help.

You said you have a wife and kids, let them in and let them support you. I went through the death of my parents alone. I would have done anything to have someone then.
When Koreans invent easy to use technology the Japanese say "easy enough for a Korean".
Most technologies that products are being built on today just started to make name for themselves 5 years ago. We are living in a fast-paced world, from the moment you wake up, to the moment you go back to sleep, technology is everywhere.
OK, so for example Dell sells Linux desktop machines. And Linux laptops. They'll have a good experience out of the box. Thats pretty average. You can argue that the users lack of knowledge of the OS will mean they don't have a good experience, as you seem to be, but isnt that the same for Windows users who change to Macs? Or vice versa? Software across those two OSes is not ubiquitous either. The only difference is marketing budget, if you ask me.

As for Linus Sebastian, he threw his credibility in the dumpster with that whole clown show.

>I do control which smart contracts I interact with

No, you don't. This is egregiously wrong and is a blatant misunderstanding of distributed systems. In a typical cryptocurrency blockchain, it's the miners that have control over which smart contracts you interact with.

>if you want that product (and don't want the control)

This is also a bad assumption. I actually do want this product and the control. However cryptocurrency and defi can never actually provide it because the entire concept and marketing of it is flawed from the beginning. Yes, it's that bad. That's why it's so disappointing to me to see finance people get caught up with it. There is a comment below about "people are trying to figure out what works" when the reality is that it will never work. You fundamentally can't do these things with a distributed system built this way.
> I think you're still going to bump up against scaling issues with this solution. Youtube has something like 500hrs of new content uploaded to it every minute, and I've heard speculation that this solution couldn't possibly be solved by humans because there simply isn't enough of us on earth.

That's not the problem that needs solving. A manual review of the videos that are flagged by the AI snitch is all that's needed. Google can very easily afford this level of manual oversight.
The simple explanation is "take the bit partitioned immutable vectors and relax the leftwise dense requirement" and then sprinkle some magic implementation dust in between that and the finished implementation.

On a more serious note: the only complex piece of code to write is the merge and split operations, but since the structure of the tree is given it isn't theoretically hard. It is just a pain in the ass.

There are two high quality implementations. One for c++ (immer) and the one in scala.

Agreed -- talking about things really can help. Sometimes you'll unexpectedly discover that talking about things isn't just helpful for you, but also for the person on the other side of the conversation; at some point, everyone's working through something.

> Well if we're right about the free and open society being better, they won't vote that way.

It is entirely plausible that a free and open society is better than the alternatives on several different bases, despite the possibility that it could all go wrong and end up as becoming one of the alternatives. There is no evidence in human history that society has any stable points, let alone that it has desirable points of stability.

> Of course it can and has happened. You have to ask yourself whether those societies were actually free and open, which I know sounds like a cop-out.

... it also has elements of the No True Scotsman fallacy.

I'm sorry you feel that way. What records are you looking for?

Here's a page describing the available genealogical records from the Philippines and where you can find them: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Philippines_Online_Gene... In some cases, FamilySearch may have only the indexed (textual) data, and commercial providers may charge for access to the images.

FamilySearch provides free access to multiple commercial providers to anyone at family history centers in many locations (https://www.familysearch.org/fhcenters https://www.familysearch.org/fhcenters/locations/) These centers also provide free consultation and help with your genealogy research (sometimes even online free consultation).

FamilySearch has contracts with some of those commercial providers to grant church members free accounts, which I think is what ianhawes is describing. General access in those cases is available from the providers at their usual rates.

"Let me be clear: I am in no way arguing that conspiracy theories are harmless."

This annoys me.

As was the case with the pervasive NSA spying pre-Snowden (your phone can listen in!) and early Covid lab-escape hypotheses, "conspiracy theories", can also simply be true (or likely), and denying them is harmful.

Read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" for example, and you'll get another look on "conspiracy theories" and what the USA as a country is willing and capable of doing. Strange that this angle is not covered in this piece. By not acknowledging this you are pushing people with non-mainstream hypotheses even further away, it is indeed counterproductive.

Simply defining conspiracy theories as theories that are not true or not held by the majority is too simple and an impossible definition.
I was very confused by this, so I looked it up:

"It has been suggested that the word originally referred to the debris remaining in the holds of slave ships after the slaves had been disembarked, but there is no evidence of such use before the 20th century when slavery was prevalent." -- Wiktionary

I do not think we should be deprecating colorful words because someone invented a fake etymology for them. Nor, for that matter, because someone somewhere might unreasonably take offense.
I tried it with my fiancee, although not with windows skin. Just default plasma. She opened internet browser and used it just fine.

Of course she cant move to linux due to adobe software, not that i need her to do anything like that. Anyone can use what they want, my point was that most people dont even know theres other choices than windows and mac.

Also ive been using windows all of my life, recently switched to kubuntu because i got tired of the updates. Didnt take me long to learn to use the pc.
1. Everyone belongs to a tribe and underestimates how influential that tribe is on their thinking.

2. What people present to the world is a tiny fraction of what’s going on inside their head.

3. Prediction is about probability and putting the odds of success in your favor. But observers mostly judge you in binary terms, right or wrong.

4. We are extrapolating machines in a world where nothing too good or too bad lasts indefinitely.

5. There are limits to our sanity. Optimism and pessimism always overshoot because the only way to know the boundaries of either is to go a little bit past them.

6. Ignoring that people who think about the world in unique ways you like also think about the world in unique ways you won’t like.

7. We are pushed toward maximizing efficiency in a way that leaves no room for error, despite room for error being the most important factor of long-term success.

8. The best story wins.

9. We are swayed by complexity when simplicity is the real mark of intelligence and understanding.

10. Your willingness to believe a prediction is influenced by how much you want or need that prediction to be true.

11. It’s hard to empathize with other people’s beliefs if they’ve experienced parts of the world you have not.

12. An innocent denial of your own flaws, caused by the ability to justify your mistakes in your own head in a way you can’t do for others.

13. An underappreciation for how small things compound into extraordinary things.

14. The gap between knowing what to do and actually getting people to do it can be enormous.

15. We’re bad at imagining how change will feel because there’s no context in dreams.

16. We are blind to how fragile the world is due to a poor understanding of rare events.

17. The inability to accept hassle, nonsense, and inefficiency frustrates people who can’t accept how the world works.
Careful there; this is typically when the sob stories start about how one is NOT "upper middle class" when making $150K (more than double the median household income), because they live in expensive areas, etc. One saw a similar outcry when the TCJA removed the ability to deduct SALT taxes for effective income levels around that amount.

The reality is, and has always been, that this group (call it whatever you want) of incomes in the $150K to $400K range is absolutely necessary to include in increased taxation policies to pay for all the spending.
Yes, I have ordered a batch of smart watches that go on the handlebars, same as the prototype on the photo.

> Instead of doomscrolling ukraine updates, send in a donation if you can but otherwise move on.

One can donate either money or time. Here are a few specific ideas.

- donate to a group in Ukraine that is working to feed, clothe, and shelter people
- donate to an organization that is helping refugees in Poland, Romania, or Hungary
- donate directly to the Ukrainian military (yes, they did set up a donation endpoint early in the war)
- assist with Squad303's efforts. Text Russian people about the war -- see https://1920.in
- utilize computer skills that enable you to help Ukraine remotely (I won't elaborate; if you're a candidate you know what I mean and likely have already considered this)

"vast evidence"?!

Yeah there's no jumping.
Pretty sure you are right. I can see the image in my head, the soldier would roll and then kneel while shooting. Bond had no jump that I can I remember though.

And now that I wrote that I sincerely hope to not have it mixed up with the "kneel while shooting" stance of the enemies in deus ex. Those did no roll.

Edit: One can one enemy see do the roll in the next few seconds of https://youtu.be/D6l6_WKxRck?t=353.
This strikes me as a bit pedantic as both of you are somewhat right and ultimately a lot of the assessments have been pretty subjective/qualitative. I tend to lean towards the other guy’s characterization personally, but I wouldn’t say you’re wrong. Part of it is that we have to recognize the video game industry dwarfs all other media right now - but in the early 90’s? Not even close. Yes gaming existed prior, including computer games, but the vast majority of kids did not have the technical know-how, let alone the hardware, to install and run them until later in the decade. Adults at the time were a very mixed bag about it, with most electing to not participate at all.

Doom came out in 1993. Things really began to shift about that time. By ‘96/‘97 you had Starcraft and other games start blowing up, but that’s latter half of the decade for sure.
Minecraft had ducks. Or they were chickens. I remember it being a whole thing, but people called them ducks often enough that I think it should count. As far as ducks being eaten, I've only had duck meat a couple of times, but I'm about to have consistent access to duck eggs and I'm freaking excited.

I know a decent number of people that duckhunt and I've tripped over domestic breeds on friends' acreages often enough. They're easy birdwatching too if you bundle up, so if you hang out with that sort of crowd, you'll hear plenty of discussion. It might just depend on how much time you spend out of the city or staring at ponds.
The democracy myth requires us to believe that in a true and honest election, no people or country would ever choose something that goes against our interests in an unacceptable way.
Doctors in Cuba make $50 to $70 a month, I can only imagine how much the nurses are making. Given this I don't think there's a straightforward way of porting their system to the US. A US Doctor may make more money than the whole staff of a hospital in Cuba.

It's amazing how affordable things are when labour is dirt cheap.

That being said the US could start by augmenting immigration from healthcare professionals, like it happens in many other sectors, engineering being one them. Too bad lobbies will never allow this.

I love this sentiment. Sometimes it's fun to use the "wrong" thing for something, or because it's all you know or care to use. Goes to show there's never really a "correct" language to do something in - just perhaps an atypical one.
Giving to your own church is like giving to your own club. It’s arguably giving to yourself. Better to consider this discretionary spending while charity goes to stuff that doesn’t benefit you directly.
I’m glad you found resolution for your personal symptoms with the help of a doctor.

The mistake is promoting methylation quackery as the underlying cause of everything, as your link above did. It’s obvious quackery and the medical community unanimously agrees (see my references above).

I’m glad you found a specific help for your specific situation. Extending that to be a wide-scale affliction of the population is the mistake.

I hope everyone reading this thread takes time to review mainstream medical sources (not naturopathic authors, test peddling websites, or anecdotes)
Probably not if you can just jump to a single-file Firebird database, and open that one either in embedded (single-user) or server (multi-user) mode.

Everything is difficult with scale. We can’t expect every service owner to implement authz correctly, but if we can expose and build tools that help standardize and abstract as much as possible the difficulties of authz then service owners can focus their energy on other things.
I had a 3 speed + R transmission in a 1970 Ford. It was originally a column shift but the original owner converted it to a standard floor shift. I don't know if that was the reason for the weird shift pattern it had (nor do I know the original shift pattern), but by the time I got it, it was:

> It's so common, Google should put on their website: "If you need customer support, please try to create some outrage on social media. We do not provide other channels of customer support."

Not only Google, though. I closed my Twitter account a few years back and one of the few arguments in favour to leaving it open was that I had a sizeable number of followers (+6k) and I could leverage that if I needed to complain to some company for one reason or another. Social media is the world's support service, provided you carry enough eyeballs.
