This has been a problem for Bank in Viet Nam for a year.

They faked Bank’s message, and send the link with the same UI of the bank. Many people got hacked.

I got a few messages like this. The only thing I could do was informing my friend (none-tech) to avoid these things.
With the first big boom, weren’t wallet companies (which most people seem to need to make things easy enough) requiring photo IDs to open accounts? That kids the anonymized piece and once that’s gone the traditional means were already fast and cheap (and I assume global as well).

I think the idea of digital cash is cool, but practically speaking, it isn’t enough of a upside to deal with crypto. I can’t even tell you the last time I used actual cash. It was at least a year ago.

Can you explain why you think it's realistic? Nothing they claim seems to hold much truth in-practice.
I don't understand where you're coming from. Can you explain?
I came away with the same impression. The advice is good, but the answer to the title is still “you won’t find good questions, so go find inspiration for your own.”
I have served on a lot of private company boards (VC-backed companies) as well as a mnumber of non-profit boards. I agree with the sentiment that non-profit boards are weird, and I have found them significantly less productive than for-profit boards. Comparing for-profit and non-profit boards, I see several key drivers of non-profit weirdness:

* Definition of success: With for-profit boards, there is a clear shared view of what the long-term goal is: value creation for shareholders. While there are lots of healthy debates about how that is accomplished, they are all in the context of the same goal. With a non-profit, each board member may have their own view of what the org is ultimately trying to accomplish. Further, these differing views may never be surfaced in open conversation, leading to people talking past each other a lot.

* Incentives: Related to a shared view of success is the issue of incentive. Many private company board members are shareholders and have a clear financial incentive to make the company successful. I won't go so far as to say this creates accountability, but it does serve as a clear motivator to be engaged. Non-profit directors have nothing at stake that creates an incentive for engagement. If anything the incentive may be a friendship with other directors or the ED, in which case, the incentive is to maintain the relationship with that person rather than do what is best for the org (a common cause of dysfunction). This is a particularly acute problem when it comes to the most important issue a board can face: when and whether to replace a CEO. Most non-profit board members have no incentive, or a negative incentive, to engage in such a difficult conversation.

* Size: Non-profit boards are often very large (10+ people), while private company boards are usually 5-7 people. Size makes everything harder, and leads to fewer meetings, less discussion, and less engagement.

* Skill sets: Non-profit directors are often recruited with the primary goal of fundraising. They often have little to no board experience and may not have any experience with governance of an organization of any size in either a director or executive capacity. In my experience, even the ability to read simple financial statements is rare, much less the ability to think strategically about where to take an organization or how to scale it.
> The Catholic Church opposes the use of condoms[1]. Even in areas of the world where AIDS is rampant.

Correct.

> They are not sex-positive, they are procreation-positive.

They are both. "Sex-positive" doesn't mean "anything goes".

> I suppose the Catholic Church is sex-positive when it comes to their clergy and underage parishioners.

No, the Church is harshly critical of this kind of thing. The fact that individual offenders have been shuffled around for decades is to our shame and to the shame of their bishops, but nonetheless the Church is not "for" this kind of thing in any way.

> I went to Catholic school for 11 years.

At least in America, I'd say the majority of Catholic schools are only nominally Catholic.

I don't care about bored apes or jpeg nfts in general, and don't know how true it is that you receive ownership of the ip.

But if it worked that way, then the concept is pretty cool. You say "you can already license..." yeah, but this is one click stuff and you're good to go. What you're saying is slow lawyer stuff and a fully manual process.

Of course this one click to purchase IP could be done centralized. But decentralized can add transparency, instead of relying on paper trail and companies that can go defunct.

We just closed a seed a few weeks ago. At least in my experience... "new deals on hold while taking care of their existing portfolio companies" never came up. Honestly I don't even think things like the massive tech re-valuation in public markets even came up (at least not that I recall). The convos continued to focus on team, market and GTM. I will say that from early 2022 to mid 2022 - GTM increased its weight in the discussion.

Wrt/ post-raise - be smart about how you spend and leverage the fact that you probably aren't starting off with, hopefully, high burn. Lot's of companies might be operating under an assumption that there is quick cash around the corner... it's not as "quick" anymore I suspect.

> Well, as described in the blog post it's the entire point

then I'm sorry but I can't understand your point. I don't disagree bash's process management facilities are severely lacking in many respects, but your example ain't one of them.

If middle command has failed it must have exited, so did the first and last command. Because it's a pipe. It is what commands in a pipe do. When one process exits so do the others. All you need to know is whether one of the commands has failed (which is provided with pipefail, and PIPESTATUS if you want even more granularity) and you can do cleanup if there was a failure.

If for some bizarre reason the rightmost command still continues to run (despite process to its left has exited) or you want to be extra sure, you may run the pipe in a subshell and end it with 'kill -- -$BASHPID'.

None of these require meticulously setting up named pipes for each command.

I fail to see in what kind of a scenario a command in a pipe would be (or you'd want it to be) still running on the left hand side despite command(s) to its right has exited.

But again, if you insist on doing so, whatever floats your boat.

Sorry, I'm not up-to-date with modelling software.
The only way this scales is that there are tens of thousands of "character" all of which are extremely similar, generated on a template and randomly arranged. None of them seem particularly iconic though I understand that certain hats etc are rarer than others. But none of them stand out as any sort of personality. So if you were to say try to make your own Bored ape restaurant a block away are you really standing out because _your_ ape has a nose ring?
>Crypto does solve a few real world issues (fast, global, cheap, secure, anonymized transfer of value).

Crypto does not solve any of those issues. The actual solution to most of those issues is called a "payment service" of which there were many that existed before blockchains. How is it do you suppose that companies like ebay and amazon were able to securely and quickly process internet payments in the 90s? They certainly didn't need blockchains to do it. You could argue that they aren't anonymized, but neither is crypto; it is only pseudonymous at best, in practice it is not even that as the exchanges that do the bare minimum of fraud prevention will require you to identify yourself.
A real cryptocurrency wallet also would have worked.
So...from the government? Great work at decentralizing.
Perhaps it was SMS 2fac, which is additionally funny because luminaries should know it's the vastly inferior choice. In fact, it must be because I don't think authenticator apps generally need an internet connection.

I think it depends on the permissions the extension asks for at the time of install. If a future update tries to escalate their permissions to access all websites, at the very least you will be notified about that.

But, if you install an extension that from day 1 gets full dom access to all sites, it already has everything it needs to be evil.
It's on the trash heap of nutter conspiracy theories that didn't pan out.
But nothing guarantees that the seller of the NFT, the current holder of the NFT, is also the current copyright holder.

It's basically completely disconnected, so while the transfers may traditionally be done at the same time between the same entities, that's not a contract. The NFT just gives you a Blockchain url. If you didn't sign anything else then you got nothing else.

>> is that not the same argument being made in interpreting the 2nd amendment as not about militias (IE: a standing army) but the rights of the individual?

Militia does not mean standing army. From the Supreme Court Heller decision https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/07pdf/07-290.pdf, page 2:

"The “militia” comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense. The Antifederalists feared that the Federal Government would disarm the people in order to disable this citizens’ militia, enabling a politicized standing army or a select militia to rule. The response was to deny Congress power to abridge the ancient right of individuals to keep and bear arms, so that the ideal of a citizens’ militia would be preserved."

You can read pages 1 and 2 of that decision to see the summary of the Supreme Court's argument for why 2nd Amendment rights are individual rights.
Good links.

NFT provides a decentralized way to transfer the ownership in a globally visible way.

Look, I hate cryptoc, but this is about the one thing in the whole world that NFT is actually good for.

This creeps close to an "appeal to nature". For most of human history once your heart stopped death was the "inevitable" outcome, but this is not a good argument for defibrillators being morally wrong.
Note this also:

>> Imagine if the accidental launch of a nuclear missile had killed 21 million people. It’s hard to believe the world would shrug and say: let’s not bother finding out how it happened.

In other words, somebody did this and we have to find out who it was!

The original you see today isn’t the original that would have been seen immediately after it was painted.

My original comment is not addressed at people like you; sorry if that was not clear. You don't appear to be claiming to have a property ethic, and are instead using various ad-hoc lines of reasoning (e.g. what strikes you as qualitatively more or less onerous).

> parents are still allowed to circumcise their children

Indeed, propertarianism where parents do not own their children would also proscribe surgically mutilating them, for example. However, parents would not necessarily be obligated to take care of their children; this is also the basis by which abortion would be permitted. Propertarianism where parents do own their children (which strikes me as unreasonable) would a fortiori also allow abortion, as well as other more universally reviled practices such as post-birth infanticide.
> But that was the original promise of crypto currency, that it would replace cash and checks and credit cards for all transactions.

Some fanatics may have claimed that. But the bitcoin whitepaper itself says that traditional payments are good enough for most cases (and then enumerates cases where it's not, such as if you want non reversible transactions).
Wifi access does not universally mean the ability to receive texts, it can depend on your particular device and mobile carrier.
>A small grant ... isn't evidence of a lab leak

The grant is evidence of research not of the leak.

>And the "human subjects" was literally just to run PCRs on people who live near bats to try and catch viruses early.

we don't really know what was done with the "subjects". The IRB document would probably be a good starting point here. When you're doing GoF by specifically increasing human targeting virality by creating chimera viruses in the lab, the "PCRs on people who live near bats" sounds a bit sideway.

> it's not difficult to see whether a virus was engineered or manipulated with GoF research and this one wasn't.

really depends on how GoF is done. So far such conclusions in this case came from the people coopted and prompted by Daszak while those people weren't aware of the conflict of interest that Daszak has here.

>So all of the silly distractions about right-wing bogeyman like Peter Daszak secretly funding Chinese bioweapons are irrelevant.

that is strawman argument. The facts of Daszak involvement is clearly and widely documented. As to his motivation or final target - it is clearly a matter of interpretation and scale of fantasy of the one doing interpretation, and as i already mentioned in Russia for example, where fantasy these days runs amok and political interests are very specifically directed, it is interpreted in the opposite direction - as US building bioweapons. (Note: in my interpretation i see no bioweapons or the likes, just a somewhat dangerous research performed with a bit of corner cutting (not necessary for the reason of costs, as the speed of research at lower BSL
also improves a lot), and instead of looking into the mistakes and how to make such research safer - i think such research is unavoidable - the issue got highly politicized with no any useful outcome as a result)

> Anyone buying a car should look at TCO. The average new car price of any type is ~$40,000 in the US, so you're better off long-term with an EV based on fuel costs alone. Add in the really low maintenance needed for an EV and you're even further ahead.

If TCO matters, buy a cheap used car for ~$5K and nothing can beat the TCO.
> throwing off the shackles of corporate control

The entire crypto industry is built on the back of VC money.

And I fail to see how Opensea is not the epitome of corporate control when it has ~80% market share in the NFT marketplace space.
You can’t kill them though. People have the right to life, it’s even international law. It’s not an intruder if you expected it and 100% had the full power to stop it. Reckless behavior is no excuse for abortion. Just like reckless driving. You don’t support reckless driving that causes death, so why support reckless sex?
> in fact women's rights are about to be stripped the fuck away

If this is your concern, shouldn't you be furious that Roe v Wade stood in the way of 50 years of progress in preventing that? The democratic process could have been improving women's rights for all that time. This is exactly what happened with LGBT rights in that time - much less than that time, in fact. Instead this judicial block was in place which was like clamping down the lid on the democratic pressure cooker, preventing any kind of progress by preventing dialogue.

OOP was a big step up from the procedural programming that dominated at the time. Unfortunately that step was kicked out from underneath us because the industry chose C with Class and Java, rather than Smalltalk, or CLOS, or even objective C.
The inequality also only exists on the distribution not per player, individual players constantly switch places.
Disclaimer, I don’t know nothing about how remote jobs or hiring work.

I’m Danish and I’ve been involved with hiring a few people and the best thing you can do to prepare here is to be yourself and be honest. Not brutally, but we don’t like people who don’t know how to fail because everyone fails and if you can’t own up to it when you do then you’re a liability on any team. For us it’s typically a lot more about finding the person we think will be the best fit into the team rather than who is the better technical candidate. Because the truth is that unless you’re searching for a phd level research position then chances are that you could randomly hire any of your candidates that are good enough to interview and get someone who is “good enough” technically, but since the most expensive mistake a manager can make in our line of work is to hire the wrong person, we try to find the one we think will be the best fit. Often this involves HR personality tests, which again aren’t really tests as much as they are tools to get applicants to open up and talk about themselves in a controlled environment.

That being said, practice helps. It’s one thing to think you know yourself and your technical background. It’s a completely different thing to sit in a high pressure situation and talk about it. At my previous job I gave presentations on public sector digitalisation, when I gave my first one I practiced the whole thing word for word for three days straight and I still gave a presentation that one I could pull out of my ass right now if it was on a subject I know about. Because practicing talking about things makes you mind blowingly better at it. Job interviews are exactly the same way, and since we are going down anecdotal road, I passed the first and then got into the second for an absolute dream job straight out of university, and I bombed it completely because I got so intimidated by a room full of 8 people who were all much better than me and because I hadn’t tried it before. I honestly still interview a few times every five years to keep up with the skills of applying for jobs and if you want to work in Europe I can only recommend that you get some practice in before you apply for that real job.

On a side note, I would never waste my time at a Danish company that has you doing technical tests if you have education and experience enough that they should trust you actually know what your CV and application tells them. Not so much because technical tests can’t be good, but because I’ve been in the business for a few decades and the Danish companies that run those tests underpay and overwork their SWEs immensely.
I think the big win is actually immutable data and pure functions. It just so happens that strong typing tends to come along with these things (e.g. Haskell, OCaml)
wow sweet jesus, they get away with that?
There was no need to codify it into law, as it was already law! That's the whole point of a court ruling!

Roe v. Wade determined that the Constitution itself implied abortion as a right, meaning that there already was a law on the books which protected abortion.
> Crypto does solve a few real world issues (fast, global, cheap, secure, anonymized transfer of value).

I pay people from Argentina to Ukraine and there are myriad ways I can transfer them money quickly (seconds, sometimes), cheaply (down to fractions of cent on the dollar) and securely without resorting to crypto. I have no need for total anonymity but from what I hear crypto is not great on that front, either.
