Not related to miners but to the best of my knowledge, every transaction is broadcasted to the network from an IP address. Therefore the IP can be traced back or hidden with TOR or proxies.

Receiving cryptocurrency is by default anonymous because it requires no public action on the part of the receiver.

Except, checking a transaction tx or wallet balance on blockchain.info could flag the IP checking that balance.

NFTs are a very broad category of digital property whose ownership is proven and accounted for by very secure blockchains. 99% of NFTs that exist today will eventually be worth 0.

That said, I think it's short-sighted to be writing them off altogether at this point in time.

If you're interested in seeing examples of NFTs which may continue to hold and grow in value over time dig into the 1/1 and generative art world and take a look at what is going on there now. It's very different than monkey jpg's and celebrity NFT grifts.

Ask HN: Do you have a side hustle?
I like hustle culture. Working a 9-5 where I use my disposable income to invest in different side projects. They make a profit, mostly through AD revenue and affiliate commissions. I also run a small consultancy helping companies secure their IP and business secrets. Thinking of going all in on that and turning it into a fully fledged company.

What side hustles do you have? Interested to hear other ways people are earning money on the side apart from their main gig.

Something that always trips me up about PoS is how a system that determines the transactional chronology (i.e. sequence of valid blocks) that uses, as a weighted input, the current transactional chronology (valid blocks determine your stake) isn't a logically a circular definition.
I recently bought something from a big box electronics store, via their website, to be picked up in-store. I walked right past a large human-sized sign directing customers to go to the outdoor pickup area for mobile pickup orders. I didn't even see it. Kinda shocked me actually. (When I got to the counter, the sales clerk had an exasperated, ive-said-this-100-times-today tone in his voice when they said "pickup is outside").

So, what happened? I was focused on other things. I was trying to not be hit by vehicles while crossing the street. I was trying to aim my body at the doors. I was trying to avoid bumping into other pedestrians. I was trying to prepare my mobile pickup order in the app.

What could have been done differently? You need to get these things right the first time. Once the user is in a mindset where they know where to go, signs to the contrary won't be noticed. The store's app told me to go to the counter, so I went. If the app had initially showed me a message like "Oh, at this location we do things differently, pickup is always outside" I think that would have worked.

The design principle is: You need to get in front of the user's eyes somehow. A brightly-colored banner isn't going to stop a user who's used to tuning out banners. Banners are where websites put ads and beg for donations. If you want a user to see pertinent information, you need to put it EXACTLY where the user will look. Make the page show half of the D&D role playing info, and make them click a button to expand the rest (coincidentally the button says "This is homebrew content, hidden so you notice this, this feature can be disabled with a checkbox at the top of the page")

HTMX relies solely on client-side behavior, but it definitely supports falling back on server-side behavior:

https://htmx.org/docs/#boosting

> Why even bother to use it? HTML is not perfect, but it is well tested, can work without js [...]

I agree completely. Still you can use HTMX for some cases where you would need client-side JS anyway, but without actually having to write .js code.

> which may lead your company to be sued

OP specifically said 'Given its home lab style stuff', I think HTMX would be a good fit for that.
> EVs are going to consume the world's supply of batteries

The ideal battery technologies for electric vehicles are completely different than what you want for balancing the grid: vehicles need very high energy density because they need to move the batteries, while the grid can use bulky heavy options.

For example, a friend is working on very heavy iron-air batteries targeting grid applications: https://formenergy.com/technology/battery-technology/
My young son started telling me about his friend from Florida that he started talking to. I am from Canada and across the country so questioned if the person he was talking to was a real child or some pedophile. Thankfully he video called her soon after and it was another 10year old girl and they just liked to play online but it definitely worries and and I’m not sure how Roblox can tackle the issue.
This is how it works in press releases. The problem is that data protection laws were in fact lobbied by corporations either openly or behind the scenes, and focus on things like real names and passport numbers that look impressive but aren't really important for the data market. These are just put into some high security database (e.g. for billing info), and it's fine. However, the real behavioral data that costs money is shared as easy as it ever was in the form of “User ID <long number> was at the location of Wi-Fi AP ID <another long number>”. It doesn't matter that the data owner still trades all the history of activity of a certain individual, or that Wi-Fi station locations can be matched with some external database. Everything is fine as long as you don't slap someone's real name on that. And, contrary to the show social networks make, they couldn't care less about real names. Even if you trick the system by calling yourself John Doe, you still look at the specific content, and have specific contacts, you are you, and the data is the same.

I remember that about a decade ago some IT guys have paid for the common Facebook advertiser access, then targeted the ad campaigns using filters in such a way that their intersection only resulted in a single user, or just a couple of them, and were able to match those “anonymized” accounts to real ones. You didn't have to be a genius to do that. Facebook certainly knew it could be used like that. Everyone who made money on that simply agreed to use “anonymization” as a smokescreen. Later, with all the scandals, those routine operations were presented as something exceptional done by a small number of bad actors.
Whilst the issues raised are serious and I don't want to detract from the severity of the allegations, but I really take issue with putting regular porn and furry porn in the same league as pedophilia.
Honestly I'd look at using Electron because you can take a hard dependency on the browser capabilities and state. If you rely on the user bringing their own browser you're going to have headaches of people on ancient browsers or just supremely jacked up browsers (messed up browser plugins, proxies, turned off javascript, etc.). Node can easily launch processes and there are even fancy process management libraries like pm2 you can add as a dependency should you need it, so the logic in your electron layer can be very simple and just launch some other processes and ferry requests to the view layer.

Alternatively a webview-based framework or something like Lorca might be another option if you don't want to use Electron: https://maori.geek.nz/golang-desktop-app-webview-vs-lorca-vs...

Ironically, worse than the deluge of advertising described in this comment is the attempted redefinition of language for political agendas as exemplified in this comment.

Both are a form of psychic warfare - except that while I have seen non-intrusive and useful forms of advertising (i.e. product discovery, not trying to brainwash me into believing that Coca-Cola isn't unhealthy), I have never seen a non-malicious instance of this kind of hostile language redefinition.
PCIe devices are memory mapped in most systems now. The IOMMU and the MMU are basically the same thing, but there are separate ones because the IOMMU has to handle multiple "bus masters" - the IOMMU's main job now is to protect memory from transfers initiated by malicious accelerators on the PCIe bus. The MMU is separate to prevent contention.

The fiction of separate I/O and memory space is another abstraction that carries over from the 80's.
X11 works fine w/ the 4800H version. The 5700U uses the same iGPU so I'd expect it would work fine as well.

It's impossible to control information once been created. The longer it's existed and the more locations you can see it make that spread exponentially more likely.

Wehether we make that spread of informationlegal or not does little to affect whether it happens.

There are two things that might help. First, don't share as much information. Once it's no longer limited to you or your close group of friends which hopefully won't share it along with your name, it's mostly out of your control. Second, put limits (laws) on what information companies are able to synthesize about you, and how long they can retain it. If there's less information created about you (or it's ephemeral, created and destroyed as needed), and if they need to clean out older data, there's less to be shared or stolen.

Roblox is horrendous. It is as dangerous as any dark corner of the Internet, except that it appears child-friendly to parents. It _seems_ to have controls, and _seems_ to restrict bad behaviour, but it does not, and cannot. My daughter was roped into an online paedophile ring when she was 12. The initial contacts and grooming were made through Roblox... almost right under our noses. Every time we, as parents, looked at what she was doing, it seemed okay. We could have dug deeper, but did not. Luckily we caught it before it progressed too far, but some damage was done.

Wherever you can, tell parents to flat-out block Roblox.

Edit: Because people are asking how it works.

Roblox is a lot about bragging rights for individuals. You gain skins, trade for rare items, buy Robux for real money that can be used to buy items. Players flock around those that that have rare or expensive items. My daughter had a "super super happy face". I just googled, and it is current selling for $350. It makes them feel wanted and important. So just like fornite and skins in other games.

The groomers feed the celebrity, sense of community and so on to engage in chat. It starts as in-game chat, which you can never see the history of, before moving to DMs. The chat has tricks to get around removed words, so they all communicate in some sort of code that they all pick up along the way. Then they are able to divert them to other platforms where there are fewer controls. My daughter was made to create instagram account and an a porn one. Then they follow up on other platform calls (or phone calls) and follow the usual grooming techniques.

The trick is to identify the marks by how they behave in the game, and in the more popular, and social ones, I think that it is quite easy (in retrospect).
The ideal is having 3 functions I think:

- make_string_filename_style1

- make_string_filename_style2

- make_string_filename

Then make_string_filename consists of logic to use the right style.

Or one function and a Sum type to be called like:

makeStringFilename Style1 "somestring"

Given sum type:

data FilenameStringStyles = Style1 | Style2

Google search's business model is scraping the web, indexing it, and then pasting ads all over their search results made up of other people's content. If Google can build a business on third-party data then these meta scrapers can do the same thing.

The Solend drama was at the app-layer rather than the protocol-layer. Solana also runs PoS but its variant is a bit more handwavy and weaker imo, slashing rules are applied in a post-hoc human decision-making process rather than clear rules enshrined within the protocol.

I think what I meant to write is that ‘one’s gain is not balanced out by an equal loss to another person’. And there are plenty of places where a zero-sum mindset might make sense, e.g. if you work for a small non-growing company the only real opportunity for career advancement may be replacing your boss, but most people who can work in tech can find somewhere to work where they can create value rather than just move it from somewhere else.

Somewhat interesting perspective on PE in this Bloomberg podcast, which does a reasonable job of explaining why ~23:30

1. PE has had an easy run - rising interest rates and rising value of equity

2. Guest finds shocking - Given 1, PE returns net of fees and adjusted for leverage have become very pedestrian relative to S&P500. If the IPO market slows due to interest rates, then this may trap PE institutional investors.

This is not related. I don't think there is any open source or free software that will ever stop that. They actually don't want to stop it. They would consider stopping that to be a violation of the OSD "no discrimination against fields of endeavor" criteria or the FSF "freedom zero".

My first thought seeing that was "ad". Not surprising really.
There are several slightly different possible solutions, nobody agrees on which solution is best and nobody dares - or cares enough - to actually do something without having the ok from everybody else. Finally the discussion just peters out without anything happening.

You can see the wiki’s admins talk about it here: https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/User_talk:Admin/Archive_3#Home...

It ends with “Aye aye, I certainly won't be implementing anything before passing it by here first.”

In my personal experience all the somewhat successful non-hierarchical communities I’ve been part of, had some principles which make it easy to get stuff done without waiting for an explicit agreement from everybody else. For example the consent-based government system Sociocracy encourages people to ask for objections instead of asking for agreement from the the others.
I don't think the concept is lost on any half intelligent adult that running a hospital has expenses and has to be paid by someone. The commentary is accurate that's is messed up to have a "price", like something is being sold.

I feel like Hearthstone is a good example of the maximum amount of communication two strangers can have on the Internet. You can choose 6 pre-made things to say to your opponent; Thanks, Well Played, Greeting, Wow, Oops, Threaten. This might be too much; I have definitely seen people get mad from their opponent using the voice lines too much.

My thought is that this significantly reduces the richness of the in-game interactions (implies less engagement, implies less revenue), but doesn't need moderators to keep the game from being used for illegal sexual encounters, which is nice if your game targets kids.
This is very well put. If you believe the trade-offs of permissionless and private communications (as granted by cryptography) are worth-it and you don't think similar trade-offs to value transfer are worth-it (as granted by cryptocurrencies) you have to be able to explain how you are tracing the risk-reward in both cases to arrive at different conclusions. I'm not claiming it's not possible but certainly some very fine-tuning of the weights involved is necessary to reach different conclusions.

The average opinion (as in, the most oft-repeated or most popularly represented through upvotes) in HN maintains opposite conclusions. Which is an interesting observation.
One of the things to like about the Bored Ape Yacht Club characters is that they are deliberately satirizing the buyers.
