Is it so unreasonable to believe that Hunter Biden, who grew up in Delaware and whose father has to live in delaware, since he has been the senator from delaware for almost fifty years, ended up with a laptop in need of repair in Delaware?

Yeah, I think the blindness to what this “community” is makes it insidiously toxic in a way that SlashDot isn’t.
a lot of activity is between different levels of the ponzi scheme too.

Person A gets NFT for 1 ETH. They sell it to person B for 1.2 ETH

Person B is able to spend 1.2 ETH because they traded 2 ETH worth of NFT to Persons C, D, E for 3.2 ETH total

Persons C, D, E are yesterdays Person A

etc.

People are "trading up" but only because the total number of trades are increasing. Some people are probably successful in hopping into this wave, converting a profit, and hopping out.. but they are only able to do that because the majority of activity is still running the engine. Eventually the engine will run out of fuel and a lot of people will be stuck with net negative accounts

I'm also 90% sure that most of the bigger players in the space are aware of this and are effectively competing to see who's left holding the bag
OK; so in which corner of Spain is the Basque country located?

I've heard it said before that Catalunya is north-east Spain, so I was surprised when I learned that it is south of the Basque Country, and situated on the mediterranean.

I can see how someone from Madrid might consider both the Basque Country and Catalunya to be "north-east". But I think it's misleading to describe Catalunya as the "north-east" corner, when there are three other regions further north than Catalunya on the eastern border, and none further south.
I was getting half-convinced that gig workers were getting shafted, until I talked with a doordash/ubereats driver for twenty minutes. She said she was making significantly more money than she had as a waitress, and was finally getting ahead. At the same time it was more pleasant work and she didn't have to fight about what shifts she could work.

> should anyone take cryptocurrency seriously? To me, the only purpose of it is to make money. It's the stock market, but with less rules, and it's 24/7.

It's not the stock market at all. Not even close.

The stock market is a system that enables the buying and selling of shares in productive business - businesses that provide goods and services, that generate revenue and (ideally) profit. As a shareholder you own a fraction of that production, the assets, the profit. That's ultimately what determines the value of a stock over the long-term, its ability to generate sales and profit (and of course the bounds on valuations can swing widely over that time, multiples can contract and expand).

You maybe see crypto markets and think: gambling; and so that's where you're making an incorrect connection to stock markets. The stock market, if you're doing it right, is absolutely not gambling. Stocks are supported by the productive capacity of the business in question, ultimately; crypto doesn't work that way (at least not at present, maybe one will in the future). This is why Bitcoin has dramatically more in common with gold than eg stocks (gold isn't a producing asset, it's not going to spit off a dividend from profit every year).

The reason an entity like Berkshire Hathaway or Microsoft can so astoundingly trounce gold in generating returns over the long-term, is precisely because they're generative entities and gold is not. There's no compounding action to gold from the consequence of production growth (a lot more production is generally bad for the holders of eg gold or Bitcoin, as their value is based in part on scarcity), it's a hedging device primarily. Whereas if it's 1981 and Microsoft generates $3m in profit, they can plausibly reinvest profit and maybe get $5m the next year by hiring more engineers, launching new products, more advertising, etc. Rolling that expansion process forward is how you end up with $50m in profit instead of $3m. Gold, as with Bitcoin, does not work like that at all, there's no compounding mechanism. It's why gold sucks as an investment compared to eg the S&P index over time; although it's perfectly reasonable as an inflation hedge for a fraction of your assets, if one so desires to diversify.
Sky Mavis raised $150M, and is going to be funding the remaining ~$470M to make investors whole. This doesn't look like it's one of those stories.
Awesome! Yeah man, you nailed it all on the head back then, and yes, saved my ass. Sorry the thread felt like a eulogy. You've got a lot of mileage left in you my friend, and I'm looking forward to your future insights on the next big trends none of us are predicting yet.

The response of the academics to your writings was actually a master class for me in the nature of academic corruption and groupthink. What I learned from that experience was that (contrary to my prior beliefs) high IQ individuals are actually far more susceptible to cognitive dissonance than others are, not less so. They are far more adept at mentally constructing rationalizations and false realities that bolster and protect their existing belief systems from new information than most people are. Add to that the fact that they are extremely economically vulnerable to reputational damage, and you have a really toxic recipe.

One of the problems I have with websites for official interaction with US government stuff is that, a lot of times, it's some random .com website or a 3rd party with no direct integration with the government entity they're interfacing with. This site has all the potential hallmarks of being a scam, so if I just found this on my own I would have a hard time believing it would work after giving it my personal info.

There's literally nothing new or interesting about memberships.
One would think that it's a winner-takes-all, hit-driven market. But actually, looking at the current OpenSea 30-day volumes, the collections approximate a power-law distribution with an exponent of ~0.94, i.e. slightly more long-tail than expected from Zipf's Law. Granted, e.g. Spotify streams are even more long-tail (exponent~=0.5), but still.
You're still speaking in a generality like the parent post is complaining about with the press coverage.

There would be a big difference between Jones saying "the shooting was fake, it was a hoax" versus "that father on screen, John Smith, is a liar and an actor and doesn't even have a kid plus he's probably a pedo".

Well, which is it? What did Jones actually say about Sandy Hook? That seems to never get reported.

When you find it, will it not likely be a secondary electromagnetic condition is affecting the permittivity and permissibility of materials in a way that was not previously anticipated? Like, this problem is "understood", right? You know where to look and likely what it will be? The fact Hall Thrusters work with fuel of very small mass, it doesn't seem to change the nature of the problem: detonation and fluid (plasma) dynamics.
That's why usually NFTs point to IPFS addresses which are just hashes of the content and it doesn't matter where they are hosted.
Well, as this is under an actively used Catholic cathedral, and Catholics typically like to do our services on top of our saints, I imagine the clergy and the diocese has something to say as to how the bodies are treated.

I assume the chicken metabolizes some of it (or some other ingredient) into something that triggers that reaction in me. My family aren't affected by it, including my daughter. Its apparently not common.

I dunno how likely that is; the egg shouldn't have more than trace amounts of any contaminants in the chicken; the egg is filtered a step further than the meat is.

I found that salt enhanced the headache potential a lot, but with "clean" eggs it doesn't matter. but after this long i dont put salt on 'em anyhow.

Also, I grew up on a farm and ate a lot of eggs as a kid, those chickens weren't fed anything but some corn and were otherwise free range, so perhaps its a trained sensitivity?
NFTs as a technology are novel and useful. Unfortunately the way anything new first gets adopted is through the low-hanging fruit, where the proposed value is dubious and most entrants are cashing in on FOMO or operating straight up scams.

I hope that eventually more people will look beyond that and a little deeper into the potentials here. Especially for anyone that is dissatisfied with the status quo of capitalism, which seems to be the majority of people I meet? It's frustrating to watch peers fall victim to knee-jerk outrage and miss the forest for the trees. If you wanted a way to fight back, you could start by not hitting yourself in the face. Monopolies do not benefit from decentralization.
engineers have a lot of mental health challenges due to the general abusive work environments, unrealistic expectations about performance on both sides, and the constant relearning of tools, grueling degrees followed by coding test grinding etc

More importantly: losing actual money to save on taxes is hugely inefficient.

If he was doing this to save on taxes, he would have taken a paper loss via depreciation -- meaning, not actually selling it, just changing the book value of it -- with the intent of paying capital gains tax at some future date (well, more likely, borrowing against its "true" value indefinitely).
Fully autonomous weapons are also a code is law problem. Ethereum is a preview of the killer robot problems of the future.
The problem with that is usability. If I need to sign a transaction that security is lost the moment the key is entered into the signing computer.

Proximity seems to be key to most of these attacks, so maybe physically excluding any possible eavesdroppers, and adding noise sources would create a shell equivalent to guarding that piece of paper.

I also anticipate gathering old/very limited electronics that can be visually inspected or don't have extra capacity to run malicious code to allow auditing the mechanisms of computation.

It may surprise you to find out, then, that Coca-Cola is actually a lemon-lime soda. In fact, all Colas are predominantly citrus flavored.

"The primary modern flavoring ingredients in a cola drink are citrus oils (from orange, lime, and lemon peels), cinnamon, vanilla, and an acidic flavorant." [1]

> one of media literacy

I'm not entirely sure what 'media literacy' means when you can get more accurate reporting from a late night TV comedian than from "the newspaper of record".

Too many people have been shaken out of their gell-mann amnesia by experiencing some respected media outlet telling something they personally know to be a lie, or worse-- seeing the hierarchy inverted by seeing the reputable place lie while an obvious tabloid tells the truth.

The laptop is a great example-- the google-sent messages to hunter pass DKIM validation: they're cryptographically signed by google, so anyone with appropriate technical skill can verify their veracity beyond reasonable dispute. But a tabloid published it and not only did the reputable places not do so, but there was widespread collusion to suppress any discussion of it.

> revealed nepotism/influence peddling

Well, it was strongly indicative of hunter involved in that stuff. It's a little more complicated because he's a known-and-admitted screwup. If hunter was going around selling his father's influence without his father's knowledge, that shouldn't necessarily reflect negatively on Biden Sr. The material from the laptop made available actually connecting Sr. to any of it appears to be extremely tenuous. That said, it's not an unreasonable heuristic to assume from the fact that its all been so aggressively suppressed that there is a smoking gun there, so I can't fault people for doing so. As you note, the broader issue is one that's worthwhile to discuss.
I'm not sure why it would be unexpected. Almost any Catholic cathedral of any import (even the new ones) bury people immediately underneath the floors. It's part of the planning of any church. It would have been even more common and less regulated in the times Notre Dame has seen.
The article we are commenting on literally describes indiscriminate killing of people by the US military. If all you have to do to justify killing a people or imprisoning them in Guantanamo is to label them as terrorists then China is way ahead of you. They are just preempting their own terrorists. So is Russia. They are just fighting Nazis in Ukraine.

It’s pointless to argue who is more corrupt/evil. It doesn’t matter if one side is even a lot more rotten than the other. Any rotting system will continue to rot until they resemble each other.

My whole point revolves around the ignorance of Americans to their own atrocities, because, believe it or not, that Chinese citizen has the same line of thinking on their own country’s atrocities.

You might argue that Chinese citizens are also subject to propaganda on the atrocities. But actually many are well aware of that. The difference in America is that we think we don’t have propaganda. Propaganda is really just a prevailing spin in information. Just because there is free speech doesn’t mean some prevailing biased take cannot exist.
I agree with you in principle, but if you're trusting an intermediary, then I struggle to see what doing this on the blockchain adds. If I'm going to trust a centralized entity to buy and hold land for me, then it seems like I'd want to go with a trustworthy centralized entity, rather than some new organization that was created to operate on the blockchain.

I think a better use-case for NFTs for now is as as keys, i.e. early investors to a project are granted a limited number of NFTs, which then allow them preferential access to later high-APR investments or whatever. This is a somewhat niche use case, but at least it's all on-chain and trustless.
It's not ridiculous, let's just go for it and see what happens :D

he's a video game reviewer, It is a slow week for video games but he had to get an article out.
I agree it would be nice. The problem is I can't think of a good way to both guarantee a high level of journalistic integrity while also protecting the freedom of speech. I guess one could make an amendment to place certain speech restrictions or requirements on the media but that's a super slippery slope. The reason media is so free in a legal sense in the US is because there is such a strong incentive for the government to control it. Its basically guaranteed to happen.

And none of that touches on the other major issue which is the mass consolidation of journalism under a few owners. That is something that can be dealt with by government regulation at least. There used to be rules about such things.

No. Generally speaking, proof of stake doesn't let someone transfer other people's funds to themselves just through owning a large proportion of whatever cryptocurrency - that's a really bad idea in terms of incentives and also not necessary for it to work - and has time locks in order to try and ensure that funds are actually at stake, which would prevent flash attacks like this one. This was just really badly designed. Letting someone with a mere instantaneous supermajority of money committed decide where to transfer all the invested funds to in a system with flash loans available pretty much guarantees something like this will happen.

An NFT purchased in the initial offering is the fun sticker/t-shirt/mug/toy you get for contributing to a cause or person you like. Especially when they can be used as tickets for special events or other exclusive things hosted by the aforementioned entity.

Thinking of it in the terms of a long term financial instrument you can always sell in the second hand market or purchase as an investment in the second hand market may work, but it is a gamble and seems more and more likely to leave you disappointed in the long term.

I find it hard to believe that BAYC is successful because of the art, personally I think they're rather ugly and I know that a lot of people would feel the same.

I think a more likely reason for their success is that they're an easily recognizable series that's known to be expensive; people buy them for the clout. NFTs are fundamentally about clout, and one-off NFTs just don't have the same clout value when used as a Twitter profile or whatever, regardless of the art quality.
Largely, support has been relegated to very extensive and exhaustive FAQs and if your issue is not found in them, you have to pick up the phone and spend 5 hours trying to reach a human at Google, or yell all over social media as a last resort.

These thrusters need fuel to move. That ends the fun on this line of inquiry. There is no free ride (unless you sail around very slowly, but this is more like sucking Earth's wake in style)
I do testing in the blockchain space and it’s really crazy just how thorough one has to be to catch these issues, when there are so many adversaries.
To scale up thrusters you can simply make them bigger, but that leads to a lot of wasted space as the thrust is only produced by a ring-shaped region of the device. To improve thrust density, you can nest these inside each other (see this page on my research group's website https://pepl.engin.umich.edu/project/high-power-hall-thruste...). More recently, we have been looking at running smaller thrusters at higher power densities, which was previously impractical due to the way older thrusters shaped their magnetic fields. Nowadays we can design thrusters such that very little power is lost to the walls so high power density operation is looking more feasible.

Per the second question, you would need a very efficient thruster to limit the amount of mass needed as propellant. If you have an entire planet, you might look into using a photon rocket. Alternatively, you can try a massive solar sail or magnetic sail but I'm not an expert on these things.
My point is that if Taxi’s were profitable essentially being a worse Uber, then it makes the argument that Uber is in a bubble industry seem ludicrous, which it is.
