> This paper shows that the situation with BFT CRDTs is
very different from BFT consensus: it is possible to guarantee
the standard CRDT consistency properties even in systems in
which arbitrarily many nodes are Byzantine, e.g. where the
Byzantine nodes outnumber the correct nodes. This makes
the algorithms immune to Sybil attacks, allowing them to be
deployed in open P2P systems that anybody can join, without
requiring proof-of-work or proof of any other resource.

If you really want safety, use Rust or Ada.
So it seems Julia's multiple dispatch (dynamic dispatch for any function based on argument types) has a flaw: namely, if the types used do not match assumptions present in the implementation of the function (e.g. arrays start at 1), the results may be silently incorrect. Julia's multiple dispatch is really cool, but I'm not sure how this issue can be prevented in practice (without a lot of added verbosity). It'd be a pity to have to restrict yourself to a small set of types you know work with the functions you're using, because multiple dispatch is one of Julia's killer features.
> What is the value proposition of web3 to the user? ... You will up pay for every click.

But people who come after you will pay even more to you to do the same thing that you did for cheap! You are an early adopter who can just do nothing but click early all the way to becoming a millionaire! Basically a shameless ponzi is implicit in the promise.

I think in a perverse way, the pay per click dystopia is a feature and not a bug.
I didn't say I see 1-based indexing as a flaw. I said I complained about it, and then learned they supported multiple types of offsets (which ostensibly resolved the issue for me), only to learn that the stats library was "written before offsetindex" and still has bugs related to it.
If you're talking about visitors to a web3 website, ideally they shouldn't be able to tell if it's web3 or not.

But I believe the value proposition is for people who have spare bandwidth/compute/storage and want to make money. Currently internet infrastructure (like AWS) is largely owned by a few corps. Web3 has the potential to let anybody join, distributing the infrastructure across individual providers like what Uber did to taxis.

Another big one is web3 social platforms like Odysee and Peertube. These are more censorship resistant because they are decentralized.

Eh, it's been causing a lot of issues over a long period of time at least in my workplace, and it's been dragging projects that should've been 2-3 days to 2-3 WEEKS.

I'm sure it varies for people (which is why you're downplaying it), but for at least some of us, it is simply the truth, the reality we have to face every day we go to work.

Eh? there's a story about it showing up every couple of days in the Washington Post, both news and opinion pieces. As the poster case for anti-"zero covid" stuff, it is being talked about a lot.

> Do you think you are capable of listening to those countries?

Honestly, no. But that doesn't mean they aren't worth listening to, it just means we need to find someone who is capable of listening to them.

And it's equally worth pointing out that listening to Kazakhstan through a Russian filter is as dangerously misguided as listening to it through a Western filter.

Right, for internal networks, we use source IP(well network, but same diff).

For instance, we might have diff. source networks based on their department or building or whatever. We can then give them DNS information based on where they are coming from. It's not foolproof obviously, even if we control the internal network, it doesn't mean a bad actor isn't around wreaking havoc, so it's defence in depth, not the sole line of defence.

But it allows us to control DNS from 1 spot, and give this group of servers names for themselves, and that group of servers and this group of clients access to this group of servers, etc.
> The Web3 community approaches this from the opposite side: Instead of a lightweight communistic take, they follow a heavyweight libertarian path: Everything should be monetized.

This is how you get people to stop reading your article, and to instantly agree or disagree with you (regardless of what you're saying) based only on the political language you used.

I'm not a politician, and I make an active effort to avoid politics on the internet. However, even I know that this is tone deaf. If this article was written only for people with above average reading comprehension skills (which is not this site's demographic), then that's fine. But if this was written for the masses, i.e. the typical victims of crypto scams, then it's just completely tone deaf and ineffective. "Communist" and "libertarian" are trigger words for a significant portion of Americans.

For example, I know that if my father was reading through this article, he wouldn't understand any of the technical stuff, but he'd associate the word "communist" with "things that aren't Web3", and then enthusiastically start going down Tiktok/Youtube/Facebook Web3 rabbit holes, just to stick it to those damned commies.
Turks are trying to establish some diplomatic bridge with Russia; that's very good. Russian aggression in Ukraine is terrible, but I feel the US are not trying to de-escalate anything. They are in full proxy-war mode.

This can be very dangerous for Europe. France and Germany also would like to have more diplomacy, just like Turkey. Those countries have to live next to Russia - and maintaining a diplomatic relationship with Russia is vital. And this despite the fact that current Russian leadership is basically criminal.

I don't think Sweden and Finland joining NATO is sending a good signal - or it's diplomatically wise. But let's see...
"Very large accounts tend to have more fake/spam followers than others..."

If the figures for Elon Musk and Donald Trump's followers are at all accurate, it's over 50% for large accounts. Which means that the people who probably care most about whether or not their followers are real (e.g. those who might be charged for the privilege of using Twitter to communicate with large numbers easily), are the ones most likely to have mostly bots.

I could see why this might impact the value of Twitter as a company.

This is one of note thousands of videos of cats and dogs using buttons to talk.

Cats, and all mammals, have a neocortex. Theirs is not as deeply layered or large as humans, but they most definitely have the ability to reason abstractly, are aware of themselves, think emotionally, and engage in complex, time aware planning over long periods.

Your views are wrong. Language areas like Broca's region in the human brain are a consequence of physical distribution relative to the connectome and sensory endpoints. If you were to rewire the millions of connections to the lips, tongue, mouth, ears, and other body parts to be locations on the neocortex, broca's region would be somewhere different. You have about 1 square meter of neocortex responsible for all of your perception and cognition, and almost all of it is uniform. Neurons aren't differentiated by function, and animal experiments show that plasticity allows for arbitrary rewiring.

The literature in the field shows that human cognition is likely superior to other species in the depth of cortical layering and size of the organ. It's likely the only reason elephants and whales or other animals with larger brains can't compete with humans is the mere absence of hands and vocal organs. Our range of colors and audible senses are important but lesser than many animals.

Give an orca hands and human speech and there's nothing we know about neuroscience to imply that the animal wouldn't be smarter and more capable than humans. There's a lot of evidence that the killer whale would be more intelligent than humans in many ways.

The cortical layering and columnar architecture of neuron clusters differs between species, and seems to dictate the cognitive depth of abstract reasoning. There may be different algorithmic constructions in neural connections that favor human level cognition.

In principle, however, human brains aren't terribly different from many other large mammals, and elephants certainly display complex, emotional, symbolic, and abstract reasoning well within a range comparable to human experience.

Your notion of animal cognition is unscientific and biased toward an assumption of human superiority that isn't grounded in fact. Neuroscience is slowly and tirelessly matching toward reverse engineering the brain. The more we learn, the more we find similarity in the basic functions of mammal brains, from mice to humans to blue whales.
Some benefits that I think web3 can bring to the user:

- Universal login: An alternative to "Sign in with Google/Apple/XYZ" that can't be denied by a corporation. There are countless examples of these companies deactivating accounts for questionable reasons.

- Permissionless composability: I'm not sure how to word this one better. If a developer wants to build on top of blockchain data, they can. No need to apply for API access, rate limits, etc. Not all data should be open/on a blockchain, but in the cases where it's appropriate this is a fantastic benefit.

- Ownership in communities: tokens (fungible or non-fungible) can represent ownership for communities. The next Reddit will reward its community and contributors. This isn't an unusual concept. YouTube and TikTok already reward their creator communities. The difference is that existing platforms don't let you build on those communities outside of their walled garden.

For balance, here are two concepts/terms I see co-mentioned with web3 that I believe are bullshit:

- Metaverse: I don't think this will come to anything. We're already living in the metaverse. We have online identities (yours is mouzogu!). I refuse to spend a significant portion of my life in VR or another 3D game.

- Micropayments: Consumers don't want the mental overhead of figuring out value for money every time they consume content.

Even fairly simple arithmetic is incomplete, so unless the language is heavily restricted, allowing only multiplication of positive integers (x)or addition of natural numbers, they're all going to be incomplete.

Hetzner gives a generous 20TB egress for each VPS of any size. They also have dedicated servers which give you a gigabit link with unlimited traffic.
Sorry for the tangent, but can you provide more info on your service? Without signing up from an account on your site, I'm unsure on how the interface here compares to GitLab runner registration (which I always felt was a bit convoluted due to how GitLab structures their user and organization accounts) and how the hardware compares to what GitLab offers.
I disagree with the article strongly, but still find the comparison very thought-provoking and useful. There are odd parallels there, right down to the early adopters of the former being the regulars of the latter.

What the author identifies as the weaknesses of web3, though, are actually just the weaknesses of Ethereum. They're very good reasons why Ethereum will not be the future of the internet - but chains that are being developed to replace it[0] solve all of those problems and then some.

I find one of the best ways to find interesting content on specific subjects using Google is now to start blocking all their top returns (a lot of SEO spam). This is somewhat tedious (lots of -site:seospam.com) and Google doesn't like automated queries. However, a few rounds of this often turns up interesting content down low in the search results. Just don't take what's on offer on page one of search results, basically.

Where it's gotten really bad is on news searches as Google either now has some kind of shitlist of independent news sites that it won't allow to show op on, for example, site:youtube.com searches - or, it's filtered through a guest list. It's hard to tell which strategy they're using, but news is definitely being heavily filtered based on very dubious propaganda-smelling agendas.
You're missing the point, the game developer obviously has to buy into the ecosystem, but the difference is with the current status quo in-app purchases are not really owned by the customers, so even if another game developer wanted to honour their purchases there is no way to interop.

Web3 is a pretty good use case for this, and the transaction costs barely add anything if you compare to the cut the platform takes (Apple takes 30%) so the game publisher could easily swallow this extra cost too (which could be tiny)

Usually - well before inflation - this tier was $2.50.

Not familiar with blogrolls, but not quite. The idea is more to have standard search engine user experience, but with the requirement that each result is vetted by someone the user trusts, or trusts by proxy.
It may not be. But for country level TLDs a company or organization actually manages the DNS server software - it may run "in the cloud" or not - but someone still have to mange that software and the host it runs on. (In addition to enforcing the policies and payments associated with that TLD.)
I always assumed zsh was abandonware because it's still hosted on Sourceforge, so it's good to see it's still getting new releases!
I'm familiar with a couple of these, unfamiliar with others. One problem with your cited articles is the fact that most of them don't contain direct quotes - many of them are based on second- or even third-hand accounts.

You actually picked an article with some teeth here. There are actually a couple of things in here that are pretty cringe from Trump's perspective (Chinese virus, anyone? Even though that turned out to be true! And the supposed Black vs White Apprentice - yeesh) but some are straight up ridiculous. 2004, he fired a Black contestant from The Apprentice? Is that really the best they got? Further, many of these are about actions taken by Trump businesses, not by Trump himself. Again note the indirect quotes from people.

BTW: you should use sources that aren't blatantly biased. Nice try, troll!
This doesn't make any sense to me. The blockchain just says you own a thing, it might even have some data about the thing. But what are you going to do with it? If the game company decides to shut down their game, what do you actually do with a digital hat you bought on the blockchain?

Oh, yeah, maybe someone else will make another game and do the work to support a digital hat you bought from someone else. Maybe it'll happen in a bid to try to scoop up users of a dead game. Or maybe, they'll just make their own digital hats and sell you a new one.
Personally I think once you’re in the 70usd range a month you should just look into some unmanaged servers from ovh or similar. You’ll end up with way more for your money. I do realize there’s benefits to sticking with services like DO and that’s something to weigh as well.

I think another big part of it is a desire to return to "personal computing" in the personal sense, as a reaction against subscription everything, sandboxed app everything, polished everything.

> NK exists at the behest of China.

No. China and NK was created with the backing of the soviet union. They were vassals of the soviet union until they decided not to be. Both china and north korea have been independent actors for a while now. Even before the soviet union collapsed.

> China wants a buffer between it and South Korea.

Why would china want a buffer between it and south korea? You mean between china and the US?

> If that wish were to change, I'd expect NK to be either gobbled up by China or allowed to rejoin with SK.

SK is a vassal of the US. You don't "rejoin" a vassal state. It'll be more likely north korea will one day liberate south korea than anything. South korea has a foreign occupation force. North korea doesn't. Think about it.
