"There are some bad actors, absolutely true. However 'Hanlons Razor' -- never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity -- definitely applies."

In healthcare especially incompetence opens the door for bad actors to exploit weaknesses in the system which amount to huge amounts of money being wasted. Medical fraud, for example, is one of the most sophisticated organized criminal activities in the United States. Mafias setup hijack doctors offices and pharmacies (or setup fake ones) and they know exactly how long it will take until they get caught. In the meantime they can extract tens of millions of dollars from insurance companies in fake claims.

And the fraud pales in comparison to the blatant waste. Doctors office's who order unnecessary CT scans when they or their affiliates happen to own a CT scanner. Pharmaceutical companies who market brand name pills that are no more effective than generics. Insulin manufacturers who manage to charge $1,000 a month for a product that's over a hundred years old.

In the case of pharma specifically, there are a lot of pricing inefficiencies that are deliberately not corrected due to political corruption so that they can be exploited.
Age checks have always been an honor system sort of thing, and lets be real:

Lesson number 1 of internet access: don't share your personal info with anyone. They don't have the right to it, and you don't know what they'll really do with it.

Regardless of a majority of people completely missing the bus on this valuable lesson, it also negates the usefulness of such measures.

I've been enjoying Blue Turtle[0]. It's got a mix, from melodic, peaceful orchestral game-like music to lofi beats. The animation and illustration are enjoyable, too. My kids have spent a good bit of time peacefully watching it and telling stories about what's happening.

In fact, I would recommend against enabling OverloadedStrings while writing parsers, since it can be confusing. Some bright spark added an IsString instance for IsString a => Parser a, meaning that "Hello" is a parser for the string "Hello". It also means that `many "Hello"` will parse "HelloHelloHello", which is kinda cool but confusing for a beginner.

almost every physics department I know has a nuclear institute. And funding is there, too. The know-how was never lost in my opinion.
Neural networks in their current implementation don't even come close to the complexity and computational power of a single real neuron. While that is the case, on an extremely basic level they are designed after concepts learned about real neuronal networks

I do mean extremely basic I can't emphasize this enough, so much so that I normally say its not even close
This has been well understood in policy circles. The problem is that the employer insurance payment is tax deductible. This subsidy, along with scale, locks people into employer-based care through insurance. The Obama administration attempted to reform this by reducing the deduction on "Cadillac" health care plans but even that modest reform has since been scraped. (Insurance companies framed it as a "tax increase" when really it was closing a loophole.)

The article touches on this toward the end.

"The idea of CPUs, GPUs, and ASICs churning away in a mathematical competition to find hash preimages the fastest has an egalitarian elegance to it. Sovereign individuals where individuals running home gaming computers can compete with nation-states for the right to earn 6.25 freshly minted BTC.

Unfortunately, ASIC supply chains are easily controlled by import/export regulations, not to mention a dangerous dependency on Taiwan. The need for cheap, abundant energy is another weak point that prohibits individuals from running discreet mining setups. And because we have not yet entered a post-scarcity utopia, you need upfront capital to purchase mining rigs. Worse, technological advances mean miners are constantly required to upgrade their setups to remain competitive, meaning the supply chain dependency is an ongoing weak point if things ever go south.

PoW can be thought of as a specific instantiation of PoS, where users stake capital to purchase mining rigs that then compete for the block proposal rights. Your staked principal can be withdrawn at any time, but its value follows a decay curve corresponding to the current market value of your computer chips. The need for upfront capital is identical in both PoW and PoS, the key difference being that the capital is forced through a computer chip supply chain in PoW while it can be purely staked in PoS."

It was passed because in the Microsoft v. US case, the Supreme Court was expected to affirm the long-standing law on this: that in response to a U.S. court order, Microsoft had to hand over user data from Irish servers, Irish law be damned.

Such a blunt rule was considered a little too harsh, and a potential source of international problems, so Congress passed a law softening the rule and allowing judges more discretion in considering the burdens of complying with the order. The law had the effect of making the Supreme Court case moot.

Sorry that the truth is more nuanced than you’d like it to be.

Well, the problem with this is that the misinformation stays around, influencing future discussions when it comes up again, when people keep repeating the same thing over and over.

It would be more interesting to discuss new flaws in the protocol, or things that generally haven't been discussed before.

We've been trained to ignore enormous, prominent, clear and contrasting things by decades on the internet.
I use variant of this - myself on the proverbial death bed, looking back through decades and seeing decisions if good or bad.

It changes the motivation slightly - great family bonds definitely yes if possible. But I won't care less if tons of other people would come and praise me, or not. I want to be proud of life lived, and I am good enough to judge that. Not harming others to be successful in personal life, happy, balanced person.

Why I don't care that much for opinion of others - ie if you live your life beyond what anybody expected from you, this will produce some envy even in closest peers. They see points where you chose different path to greater success than them, and successes compound over time, hard to avoid regrets there. What a lot of people do in such situation is stopping sharing any info about cool great things happening with practically anybody, in same manner when properly rich live maintain façade of relatively frugal life. Possible, but its caving to want-to-be-liked emotions.

Living life of adventures, exotic travel, extreme sports (in my case, this is what makes me tick and it makes me tick very well).

I am definitely the type that works to live... I mean wasting more life than necessary in the office inevitably leads to regrets later in life, regardless of the amount of wealth. Sometimes learning from others mistakes is enough, especially without save positions available.

This isn't a binary between complete blind trust and "living in the woods", my point is if you want your kids to have clean drinking water the best way to do that is test it yourself. If you trust the US government to provide it for you, you'll end up here crying about how they abused your trust for the ten thousandth time and be somehow, inexplicably, surprised.
DRY requires some judgment

If you have two features that have N parts in common, and you are certain that they will never diverge for feature-specific customization or special cases, then DRY is probably a good idea

If they may diverge at some point, then structuring the code in anticipation of that divergence is a good idea, else you end up with a messy DRY implementation that inevitably has to fork

I just assume that one can’t become POTUS without bloodying their hands. As much as I’m sure Obama is a very nice person, I also know he authorised a couple extrajudicial executions in foreign soil. Also, he probably sanctioned support for a coup in Brazil in 2016.

Such things come with the job.
PocketBase is a small open source project that I've been working for the last couple of months.

You could think of PocketBase as a lightweight Firebase/Supabase alternative.

In short, it is an open source Go backend (framework and app) consisting of:

- embedded database (SQLite) with realtime subscriptions\

- backed-in files and users management

- convenient Admin dashboard UI

- simple REST-ish API

And all of this compiles to a single portable binary.

It's still a little rough around the edges, but you could give it a try and share your feedback.

Out of curiosity, how has this changed over years? Are they getting worse or better? My feeling is that they are completely ineffective. Anecdotically, none of my friends living in France mentioned getting emails, and some of them do torrent with abandon.
The article does not even mention long range attacks in which large portions of the block chain are rewritten.

This is made extremely hard in Bitcoin through proof-of-work. To rewrite history you must re-do all of the work, which means you burn enough real-world energy to work faster than the entire rest of the network (aka majority hash rate attack). It's allowed, but expensive.

In PoS, there was never any work, so you can just rewrite history.

Every time the subject of Ethereum's move to PoS comes up, it seems this issue is there. The solutions mutate into a head-spinning kaleidoscope of different guises, all rabbit holes in their own maddening way and suspicious on that basis alone.

That this lengthy piece doesn't even mention long range attacks speaks volumes.
I think it just needs API modernization. That’s it. Then it would totally rock. It could be a thin “free” (template only) wrapper.
Pine64 had planned to allow upgrading for their laptops but found it too hard to get the thermal design to work.
No in several ways.

1: The definition of an acceptable transaction is a part of the protocol. Being a block validator or attestor doesn't let an entity change the rules of the protocol.

2: intentionally excluding transactions from the Blockchain (essentially censorship) causes economic harm to the PoS censors and is ultimately futile.

The fine article discusses both these points in more depth (mostly in the misconception section).

Essentially stake in a proof of stake system is used to punish selfish/destructive behaviours and reward honest cooperation. Participating in that system does not create a 2 tiered system of participants where one tier has powers the other doesn't not. Nonstakers simply do not aid in the production of blocks and therefore the incentive mechanisms of block production do not have any impact on them.
can you elaborate on what "protocol" looks like? or can you give us some example?

This isn't really a fault in WxWidgets. It's not like there are any good Go or Rust UI toolkits.
One objection I've heard to this idea of mine is that proprietary tokens are like coins at an arcade, etc--reducing transaction fees. But I think there are probably ways to get around this by preloading Ethereum or other stablecoins into your account. And governance tokens like DAOs etc are probably way too avante-garde a structure for most software production.
Yes. Google is doing wrong as well although I think at least some of the enriched links are set up by the web owners (although I could be wrong)

You pay for the bandwidth, either directly via a subscription fee to the service (Prime, iCloud, etc.) or indirectly by using the service, e.g. Steam lets you import CD-keys for free too, since they value you more as customer than they care about the money lost for downloading games for free.

Also there would be no licensing fees. People paid those when they bought the games. Companies providing those games after an NFT-check would just be a digital storage lockers, not a movie/game/book seller. Content companies don't get to double dip:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine

The only reason why they get away with that right now is because there is no concept of "digital ownership". Everything in that space operates in a legal gray area. NFTs have the potential to change that and put digital goods an a solid legal ground, as most of the same rules we have for physical goods could be applied to digital ones.

While not as formally written down, this is the most common way that profiling info was ever used in RA.

I remember seeing implementations in IBM's XLC, at least two of the RA's we implemented in GCC did this, etc.

Nuclear definitely has a PR problem and I don't have enough background in the science to claim how unfounded the problem actually is. But what I do have are memories of how people react to anything nuclear related. All it takes is one high profile incident and all the political capital spent on selling nuclear as an attractive option to the public vanishes instantly.
I don't know why other energy sources don't seem to have this problem. Not to the degree nuclear has, at least.
I don't think vendor lock-in is a sufficient explanation here, respectfully.

I feel this is why efforts like FHIR are very important, though certainly scratching the surface.

You should understand that this is a very USA centred opinion. There’s a whole big world of different cultures and politics, and it is possible to believe there are other approaches where we reject violence and authority.

It’s the usual “you’re helping drug dealers/terrorists/North Korea, but what about the children?!” state simping that ignores the violence of the existing systems, and ignores the billions of people in the world who aren’t any of the above and are also benefiting from our attempts to design systems that respect liberty.

I think we absolutely should build infrastructure that allows people within oppressive regimes options with which they can resist, escape, coordinate. For example, we shouldn’t accept that Iranian devs get booted off GitHub.

This is true, but when I'm dead I won't be there, so what people say isn't that relevant.

However, if I don't put in the hours now, I might get to enjoy life less because I'll have less resources to do so. (Within reason of course, life really does come first. But work is still important).

People have odd ideas about their amazing historical impact. The way people will remember them, being "on the right side of history".
