The fact that there's plenty to do does not mean the ratio effort/impact on the environment is worth it.

Switching to a plant based diet is almost equivalent to eating half as much of an omnivorous diet : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-06466-8

However, dividing omnivorous food intake by two would probably not be possible in the long term, unless your diet is way oversized.

And it's easier to switch to a plant based diet than to be constantly hungry.

Reducing environmental impact is a marathon, not a sprint : it s much better to take actions that can be sustained in the long term than very impressive actions that are marginally more effective, but abandoned after 2 month
Fair enough. But even a small amount could suffice if the turnover was fast enough. How many of the circulating bitcoins are used in transactions anyway?
It's a mix.

The peasants frequently did not have direct access to steel weapons and armor (which were SUPER expensive) not training (which was also expensive, not only in terms of actual cost, but time to go through it).

Serverless for Less: Create an ETL Pipeline to Ingest Bitcoin Price Data
I am interested in Web3 if, and only if, it allows for people with specialized knowledge to benefit economically from it. For example, currently people are posting on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Reddit some insights. Who benefits from it? Microsoft (who owns LinkedIn), Meta, and Reddit. The profit margins are insane. If the same people, who usually don't care about becoming influencers could earn some extra bucks for posting good content, I am all in.
I am sure this works for you, but I think one must realize and be alright with the idea that making it hard to be someone's friend is a good way to make the average person not your friend. Do I wish I could convince all my friends and family to use Matrix over Slack or the like? Of course. But ultimately I prefer the people over the technology, and I'd rather be where they are than be alone in my tower of principles.
The Web hasn't been free ever since Web2. I've written about this in CoinTelegraph[1] and CoinDesk[2], etc. We live in digital Feudalism (https://qbix.com/blog/2021/01/15/open-source-communities/) where early adopters and VCs prop up and dump private stocks on the public (remember SoftBank and WeWork for instance?) to make a fortune, and the public proceeds to exert pressure on the companies to extract rents forever. The Web2 companies are run top-down with an iron fist. Zuck and Elon own our public forums, for instance. Web3 just decentralized the grift, but it did so on a technology (blockchain) which is about the only one in the world that promises to be slower and more expensive with time.

Crypto has been around for 10 years and it hasn't gone mainstream. There are several reasons for that, and they ALL need to be fixed before it can be adopted by people and have real utility. (Some crypto does, such as FileCoin, but it's few and far between.)

Here is what needs to be done: https://intercoin.org/proposal.pdf

Whether that's done with tokens or not, is a separate story. But we have to move past scarcity, as Albert Wenger says in https://worldaftercapital.org . I propose to coin the term Web4.

On the other hand:

Unfortunately for the Zambians, the vast majority of its citizens do not have enough wealth to open a bank account [based on a web search, I have no first hand knowledge].

Nor do the wealthy have much recourse if the bank decides to tell them their money is gone.

Wonder how much that affects their reaction.

You're arguing for data examining something that has happened, while all decisions regarding a new virus act on data only available prior.

Those all include police and other security personnel usages as far as I am aware. I guess my statement lacked the proper context but I’m focused more on private gun ownership.

The idea that having a gun in our home is ample protection from a burglar, for instance, is rooted in an egotistical vision of ourselves saving the day from the bad guy. Not any sort of reality. It happens, but it is exceedingly rare and you’re much more likely to have that gun stolen or injure someone by accident than you are to stop a home invader.
I must confess: I'm a big time "cryptobro". I really think Bitcoin was revolutionary, and I still see enormous value in it. Some other projects, like Zcash and Namecoin, are solving some real problems, too.

But pretty much everything that's been coming under the Web3 umbrella is, in my opinion, a load of bullshit.
This is quite a tangent (it's a novel, not some non-fiction deep-dive) but A House for Mr Biswas (VS Naipaul) is a great book that I'd recommend, your comment just reminded me of it.
Also agreed - I don't think it would be a threat to the freedom of the internet.

Look, no one forces any of us to use the obnoxious websites. For many of them, there are alternatives (email), and for the worst offenders, abstaining is easy, and the only option (social media).

The old-school internet and web will always be available, ready to use, and superior in almost every way to the dumpster fire of modern websites.

Did anyone else experience a palpable feeling of euphoria when visiting OP's website? For me, it was blissful and uncanny. Here is a webpage with design pulled non-ironically straight out of 1999, which also somehow feels like it was made in 1999. Not a hipster's prerequisite "indie-web" presence, not an emulation or demonstration built in a framework -- a simple, flat-file webpage that speaks to the defense of the original web, and in the native tongue.

Perhaps we should encourage web3. After all, it is by virtue of this crisis that so many more people are realizing why even web 2.0 was mostly just a commercialization of web, and has changed us for the worse.

I am a Dutch cyclist and almost got a ticket for not wearing a helmet while under 18 (I was 16 or 17) in San Francisco. The policewoman was nice, though, and let me go.

Keeping in mind that American drivers aren't used to cyclists, it wasn't that bad in my (minimal) experience. But, of course, bikes are a little more prevalent there so that this experience won't stretch too far land inwards.

The Romans lead by said Caesar besieged the Gauls while being besieged themselves, and... won. That infantry was tough as nails.

They laid siege to a Gaul settlement, by building a wall around their settlement. During the siege a larger Gaulish relief force surrounded them, so they just built an exterior wall to protect themselves against the exterior force, and waited for the inner settlement to starve and sortie.

They were outnumbered but they managed to beat both the defenders in the interior settlement AND the surrounding force.

We're talking about the same legions that would create a mini-camp like you'd see in Game of Thrones with the Lannisters just to camp for the night (ditches, wooden ramparts, rows of tents, night guards, the works) and a literal mini-town for longer stays, those mini-towns/mini-forts being called castrum and becoming many modern day cities. Large wooden walls, actual buildings inside the walls, their castrums were probably better looking and organized than many actual barbarian towns at the time.

I don't know what drove them to all of that, but imagine how impressive everything about that was to the average peasant in the 2nd century BCE or the 3rd century CE, to pick some random time intervals.

For instance, one key claim he made is that models by central banks on negative impacts of climate change on economy are using unrealistically negative hypotheses. That's what people should be discussing but of course most people, me included, lack the expertise to meaningfully do it.

You understand the concept correctly. This is one of Web3‘s great advantages, and it‘s already being used to circumvent real-world censorship and information decay. Also it prevents problems like dead links and expired domains.

HN likes to hate on everything crypto. Not sure why.

Yes. See Arweave, for example.
As far as millenials go, it may be many peoples' first experience with a handheld computer. I remember being enraptured by all the silly peripherals for the GBC that turned it into more than a game console, like the camera or the printer. Particularly the camera, which was pretty terrible. It was easy to overlook the low quality of its pixelated monotone pictures simply because it was a digital camera that could fit in your pocket.

What do these things even mean anymore?
Seems to me, they really missed out on naming the project "Turner" as it's really more about the TURN part than the rest. Essentially, they are making creative use of TURN servers as reverse proxies.

My understanding of the whole thing is as follows:

WebRTC was originally designed for direct P2P connections between browsers - and ICE was a grab-bag of strategies to get around NATs and firewalls. One "strategy" was TURN, which was essentially "give up and relay the peers through a 3rd party server".

At some point, people started to (ab)use WebRTC for traditional client/server media streaming. Browsers don't care if the other peer sits in a data center.

You can ignore most of ICE in that scenario, as you have full control over one peer (the media server) and therefore can ensure it is reachable - in particular, you don't need STUN or TURN servers to make it work. However, much of the design is still assuming P2P, so it doesn't play well with Kubernetes which is all designed for client/server.

The trick is now that they expose a special TURN server which can act as a unified point of entry into the Kubernetes cluster and make the whole infrastructure much more usable in a Kubernetes context.
I think people love to treat the British Museum like some sort of mustache twiddling villains but in reality its just run by people that are intensely devoted to caring for the collection and history.

I have the utmost faith that if this group had been vouched for by reputable institutions and historians, had the funding, and had something novel to do (non-destructively) with an object in their collection the curators would have been more than supportive.

I think one of the problems is that the the more grandiose an ad gets, the harder it is to block.

Very few people have a problem with a small unobtrusive banner that's essentially an image and a link to some site. But filtering that away is trivially easy.

The ads we all hate, the 40-mb-of-JS-evasion-code monstrosities, the 'we actually compete against the CIA' data broker ads, the all-screen-flashing-ads, the 'watch this video first' abominations - those are comparatively hard to filter.
Pretty obvious what they're going for here, but a welcome move all the same IMO. I always trim down the UI as much as I can when working on IntelliJ/RubyMine, so I appreciate them making it look like VSCode while still having the powerful IDE tooling underneath.

Those are side issues. The main issue is that the marbles were stolen and we ask that they are returned. Everything else is haggling with our stolen cultural treasures.

And, yes, of course, the British should give back everything else their bandit hordes pillaged and looted from the lands they invaded.
Ahh the continued bs that any of this junk is decentralized.

99% of this junk operates within centralized exchanges who can be forced to close it down and have a disproportionate level of influence on the currency itself.

It can be, and may do so under extremely small volumes, but the vast majority of people interact with this in a centralized fashion.

It cracks me up but there's a funny little sign in the British Museum near the marbles that addresses the controversy over returning the marbles that basically says 'as soon as Greece gets its shit together and proves they can care adequately for their artifacts we'll gladly return them'. Its very patronizing and VERY British.

It's not about mere publication, it's about reach. Twitter gives mechanisms to manually (retweets) and algorithmically (for those users using algo timeline) surface tweets that produce "engagement".

Sure, publish on Wordpress if you like, far fewer people will read it. This is also why none of the Twitter alternatives have taken off, and why Musk wants to buy it rather than start his own Wordpress.

> Stock buybacks are one way that is theoretically equivalent to dividends.

I replied elsewhere but this is the true value of something. What someone else is willing to pay for it.

> Also, amazon has underlying assets worth 420 billion

I always struggle with these valuations because like I said above the true value of something is what someone else will pay for it so I think they are an estimation at best.

I guess companies can be taken over and broken apart for their assets like private equity firms have become known for doing so these numbers do hold some weight. Though if liabilities grow to a level where the business files for bankruptcy these numbers are irrelevant to a shareholder since they are behind the creditors.

What no one mentioned here is voting rights. While the votes of small shareholders are largely inconsequential larger voters could on things that would benefit themselves financially so indirectly this can give value to shares.
William Heath Robinson: London exhibition celebrates cartoonist
We’ll need to decouple “authority” from “income” in many venues, and that’s pretty hard.

A lot of people agree that moderation helps communities. That’s “authority”. But when moderators are employed by capital holders, the authority leaks up to the capital holders and you end up with different and thornier problems than chaos.

Fedicerse-like systems probably do better in this regard, but the community has to be convinced into paying for the moderator’s time and the system’s resources. Most people have had rhat trained out of them by free-to-use services.

I can imagine blockchain tech could support improvements in this situation, but it is not itself The Solution. People need to own and manage the solution, and to choose the appropriate tech to support their choices. Blockchain people need to stop trying to sell us on the tech being the solution.
Purely on speculation and anecdotal pointers seen in my own social rings, there's a lot of "missed-the-train-dissonance" happening.

Many of the people in tech I meet, knew about Bitcoin very early. They even saw the potential. Some acted on that (with hindsight this may seem the "smart" move, but really, it was a gamble with lot of downside potential. Still is). Most did not -which actually, financially or investment-wise, was probably the smart move-.

Those people now must find ways to deal with this internally. The simple thing is to keep convincing yourself that web3, crypto, etc is bad - a conviction that isn't too hard to base in fact, really.

I gave talks in Bitcoin on tech meetups back in 2012. I've had numerous people from back then, tell me that they are really bummed that they didn't really believe me back then, to at least dabble around a bit with some spare change. Or just the tech. I strongly believe there are far more people in the tech scene who aren't this honest, not even to themselves, and instead strongly and loudly "hate" on all crypto.

I thought kerning specifically referred to small adjustments in spacing between pairs of letters. This just seems to be a failure in honoring the spacing for the different TeX math mode symbol classes. The rel and op classes each have a certain amount of spacing they are supposed to have on either side (unless they aren't used as binary operators), and somehow this is broken in their implementation -- the spacing doesn't come from the font configuration.

For example, a\mathbin{foo}b is supposed to render as "a foo b", but on GitHub it comes out as "afoob".

When I looked at the MathJax configuration GitHub uses, nothing pops out as being odd. It would be funny if a minifier totally messed up the part of the MathJax source code specifically for this.
On the contrary, genuine end-to-end encryption is only possible this way. First-party end-to-end encryption is broken by design. (I’ve explained somewhat more with particular examples in a few comments: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=chrismorgan+end-to-end+encrypt....)

To be sure, interoperability requires a suitable spec for other clients to implement, but there’s absolutely nothing special about end-to-end encryption in this picture—it’s just a feature to implement like any other.
