Agree 100%. Helium and similar project could very well work with other tokens or even with regular payments in dollars or whatever. But they choose to come up with their own shitcoin so that they could dump it to others with marketing.
> I really don't think TikTok is much better now either, these apps all use the technique of phasing adds and slowly reducing (external) visibility for creators, and just judging from comments I see on Twitter, the economy is imploding as a result.

Exactly. Every single social media company with VC capital has thrown their small users and creators under the bus in favour of the ad driven corporations, mainstream media and boosters coming in and ruining the platform for everyone, hence why the small creators complain about the changes made to the platform, especially the very early adopters and the hyper-active users.

I expect this to never change.

> With the economy as bad as it is, this current creator economy is not sustainable, and not fruitful. We'll all see the quality on these platforms decline as creators quit and protest, while platforms will burn up cash reserves and disappoint investors as their overhead for hosting and operations increase.

That is the basic power law that is being applied here. The early and successful creators on their have already reaped most of the rewards and the attention on there and will need to escape to other platforms in the long term, or find other ways of getting income (partnerships, deals, guest appearances, etc) to continue to be relevant. TikTok is no different to this and it doesn't matter how many users it has.

The outcome is going to be exactly the same as it was for Facebook today and the company (TikTok) is driven in the interest of its shareholders and to make money. Not its users as they are not the priority, so no-one should be surprised to see how the company will screw over its users and throw them under the bus if they ever did a redesign.

Rinse and repeat for current hyped social network of the decade.
> The dictatorship is 'some businessmen' to you?

Yes. The actual men in green uniforms were just the visible face of the dictatorship. There were actual businessmen behind their economic policies. Not for nothing the dictatorship is called the civic-military dictatorship, as you well know if you are from Argentina.

> And Macri's business become big thanks to its links to government

I'm well aware of Macri's corruption and its links to the government. It's ironic, really -- those who benefited the most from government ties are so quick to decry "government corruption". Such is the history of corruption, too: one foot in the government, one foot outside of it. Both parts are important. I think, historically, the government is the weaker part in Argentina, at the beck and call of those actually calling the shots.
Wikipedia serves the public, and its notability heuristic is demand-driven. It doesn't matter how famous someone is within their own domain, if a member of the public outside of that domain would never have reason to look that person up, and therefore would get no marginal value out of Wikipedia having that page.

Personally, I don't know the name of a single advertising voice actor. Nor would anyone even three steps removed within my social circle. I suspect nobody would, save for people in the advertising industry. Ads don't have credits rolls; there's no distinctive visual to recognize voice-actors by, like there is for pitch-men; and voice actors even often sell themselves on their ability to imitate popular ad voices, so "that voice" isn't necessarily just one person. The dynamics of the ad audio industry are stacked against building public recognition.

This is the perfect use-case for a domain-specific wiki about advertisements (which tbh would be a really good idea for several reasons; there isn't much centralized effort currently to do presevation/cataloguing/history on ad media.)
Well don't these ideas come from PM's? They must be hella bookish
Government spending could require multiple vendors. Encouraging at least a duopoly.
Maybe a combination of the approaches. I might actually be in favor of raising import costs if there were a guarantee of some sort that the resulting funds would be applied to jumpstarting domestic chipfab capabilities, specifically to overcoming the initial capital intensive investment required to get started.
Taking an atypical narrative stance seems like a low bar, in and of itself, for defining challenging standards. I'm in agreement with parent that it's well executed, but to reach for a lazy description, it's basically "[..] with a twist". I'd be surprised if it's remembered as milestone. (Your last sentence sounds like classic PR fare and not noteworthy.)

This is reinforced by how it came to be. Basically Introversion spent too much time and money on a tech demo without any concept of turning it into a game [1]. Prison Architect took a safe, well-trodden paradigm that was easier to turn into a finished, profitable protect. Subversion was the sort of game that could have broken the mould if they'd ever figured it out. I remember being underwhelemed hearing about what their new project would be when they gave up on it.

Free markets usually direct selfish interests of people to create overall benefits for the society as a whole (with the occasional exceptions of course). Immoral behavior and excessive egoism usually are the result of bad economic policies that act to hamper individual freedom. The behavior you observed in Argentina is most likely the outcome of generations of short-sighted government policies that empower a small clique but deprive a majority of their economic well-being. Tax evasion, corruption and social inequality are the direct result.

Point 2 is also for security[1], especially in languages with non-hygienic[2] macro systems such as C. But as another commenter (yissp) already pointed out, even without macros it can quickly go bad. I once liked omitting blocks in if, while, for etc., but stopped doing it altogether and it now jumps out as a wart to me, too. It's just too risky for too little benefit.

What I disagree with sometimes is whether the block needs to start on a new line. For example I would like to do this:

if (foo = bar) { blah(); }

But my former team was against it, and my current team uses a style enforcement tool (which I do agree with in principle), so I don't.

Point 1 is fine by me and the team: We embrace "tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment", so that fits into the philosophy.

Point 3, i.e. disallowing inline comments, seems ill-conceived and bad to me.

[1] Actually correctness, which often means security.

[2] Or rather a generalization of what "hygienic macro" means.
Aren't they also mostly just web2.0 versions of Microsoft Office products? Like Docs and Sheets are just Word and Excel right? I feel like I'm missing something. Certainly putting them in browser plus some cloud storage is innovative, but doesn't it seem kind of obvious?
This site is full of harsh criticisms of the USA. Not just of the government but of the citizens themselves.

You're correct about what the policy says, but enforcement doesn't seem to back it up in many cases.

Personally I don't see an issue with critiquing the dominant culture in any nation. GP made plenty of caveats about "not everyone" and the like.

I find such caveats to be nauseating, but they tend to be quite effective at preemptively disarming the type of insinuations of national or racial chauvinism that are exemplified by your comment.

While I've never heard of Dragonball--and I'm sure it's really great--I'll make a wild guess that 100s or 1000s of people worked on it in one capacity or another and that doesn't really make them "Notable".
I think the point is, the specific wording "we don't do that here" is patronizing and othering.

ok, i kind of agree with that. i was not responding to that part of the comment.

the idea of "reconsidering the finer points of the rules" is really interesting - it suggests that the comfort of the first 5 matters more than the comfort of everyone else

no, it suggests that when 10 individuals join an existing team, they ought to learn more about the team culture first, before they try to make changes, unless the existing culture is clearly hostile to some people.

consider the difference between 10 new people joining all at once or one at a time, a few weeks apart. why should 10 new people get the right to dominate the culture that i am trying to build in my company? i am paying you, so you follow my culture. once we know each other better, then you may start pointing out problems that you discover. but if you come in and start being disruptive because you disagree with my company culture, then you better go look for another job. even if i am wrong, that's not the way to implement changes.

the critical point is, that such issues are not a question of majority, but one of inclusiveness. we want to reject a culture that excludes some people. so if the original 5 people have a problematic culture, then the newcomers are good to try to change that (but being disruptive is unlikely to work), but if it is the reverse, then it's the newcomers that need to adjust.

EDIT: added some clarifications.
Philip Roth was the authoritative source on Philip Roth. In fact, he wrote a whole book about him called The Facts.
This seems like wishful thinking. Why assume that academic intelligence makes you less creative? Do you think that people who graduate with high grades out of Harvard/MIT/Stanford are less creative than people who graduate from second-tier universities because they are too bookish?

I think the reality is probably that it's hard for any large company to be truly innovative. Once you get to a certain size, red tape and size make you slower. You also have an existing golden goose that you don't want to kill (for these companies, ad revenue), so you are more constrained. Furthermore, you only care to take risks that have massive payoffs... new ideas at Google need to be $1b+ to make a dent and $50m ideas don't really matter much anymore. In any case, are there any large companies that don't do leetcode that you would consider innovative? I'd argue maybe Amazon (1 day delivery) and Apple (M1 and M2 chips), but not so much in their software divisions where the leetcode happens.
I’d say that lots of areas in Australia are like that. Even in big cities like Syd and Melb.

Google failure to innovate

I disagree and, in fact, there's a whole website dedicated to its failed innovations[0].

Google's problem is not a technical one. It's a social and cultural one. Google is way ahead of the pack in terms of innovation but it's stuck in the past (and by past I mean present). Remember Google glasses? Remember how that turned into the Glasshole meme? (And apparently it's coming back[1].)

The rate of innovation is greater than people's willingness to adopt them. And also let's not forget that Google has a very specific modus operandi.

You start a ransomware group, you take the country of Belize for a million in etherium.
You also start a NFT collective, you post a bunch of pictures you have for sale. In a fit of 'we're gonna blow this money', the ransomware group, which is you, buys a bunch of NFTs from a few NFT sellers, including the NFT group you setup. The group posts the JPGs on their twitter to show what they "wasted" their money on for lols.

Can the country of Belize claw back their money? It depends where you live, where your NFT collective lives, and the treaties between the countries. If you chose your countries correctly to ransomware. If Eth is fungible currency, then you can claim that just because the 'money' someone stole ended up with you, for a legitimate sale, its not a 'stolen good'.
Yes, exactly, it's just not worth the risk. It gets worse with preprocessor macro systems like C has, where something might look correct until you follow the macro definition.

At present (or at the time of my last conversation about the situation with my mother-in-law), you can legally acquire 200 USD/month at the official rate. This is part of what's driving the black market rate higher. The "ideal" would be to go to a bank, get a large sum of dollars, and immediately arbitrage it at a changer in some market to double your money. At $200/month, that won't get you a lot right now.

There's real math, cryptography and computer science going. Being open source, you can see every single piece moving. You can almost touch them. No matter the day nor the time. No matter who you are.

What a rousing note to end on. Unfortunately, I think that's the "trap" that leads to smart people (and ostensibly, midwits) throwing their whole life into cryptocurrency. Individual components of it look really cool; the network structure, the decentralized principles, the open design and all those neat mathematical proofs! Cryptocurrency is nerd porn, so developers invariably go into 'Pepe Le Pew' mode as soon as someone brings up decentralization and databases in the same conversation.

Obviously, the problem is that all of this is horribly complex and I skipped through ~80% of this article because I still had no idea what a DAI was, much less why I would use it or why Vitalik wants one. It just goes to show that this whole "API for money" dream has failed horribly, and it's nothing but a microcosm of our own societal issues. Yes, there's the apes and the rug pulls on one side of the room, but the other side is equally as saddening, with rent-collectors and predatory investors being ushered in by socially estranged developers. It's a lawless no-mans-land, and not even in the way that appeals to my libertarian side.

Related, I kind of wish that Congress would _not_ separate the budget from fiscal policy. Right now they vote on debt limit increases completely separate from the budget, which is bizarre to me because _they_ approved the budget! The side not in power just uses it as political leverage saying "we can't keep spending money we don't have". Well, I dunno, maybe you shouldn't have approved a budget you can't afford then? The budget and the _financing of the budget_ need to be a single bill.
I used to host small projects on DH.

If you need a place where you can out several websites that don't make money for a sustainable, reasonable small cost, you'll be surprised by the price/quality/performance offered by good, independent cPanel based hosting providers these days.

By independent, I mean not owned by GoDaddy or Newfold Digital (formerly Endurance International Group, EIG). Just as an example, Bluehost, Hostgator etc are owned by Newfold Digital, with big brand recognition and subpar service.

cPanel isn't aesthetically pleasing, but it keeps the market outside the big names extremely competitive. You can ask another cPanel based host to migrate your accounts at any time in a process that's standardized and quick.

With NVMe disks and software built especially for the hosting industry, such as CloudLinux and LiteSpeed, these hosting options can be very performant. On CloudLinux, all hosting accounts run in their own containers with RAM and CPU limits so the system as a whole stays responsive. These environments can easily feel as snappy or better then self-configured virtual machines.

I tried out A2Hosting's Turbo hosting early this year. The performance was very good, but their EU datacenter had connectivity issues.

I now use a British company called Stablepoint, run by people who used to operate TSOHost before selling out to GoDaddy. Stablepoint uses public cloud infrastructure, so the reliability is very good for very reasonable prices around numerous data center regions globally.

I do use Stablepoint's highest-end reseller account, so I can't speak for the performance of their regular servers. A2 is probably very solid network wise in the States, and their non-reseller Turbo plans are affordable and very well regarded. Both companies have generous 2-4 GB RAM limits per cPanel account on their mid-tier accounts.

Nationalization, imo. Nationalize semiconductor manufacturing, such that the profits flow back to the people.
Those are obviously bad and efforts should be made to reduce them.

However, it's important to recognize the small proportion of events that started as a burglary and evolved into something much worse. With this in mind, it stands to reason that burglaries are no ordinary encounters, and that the criteria for lethal force in that situation ought to be relaxed relative to e.g. walking down a crowded street at high-noon.

Even in America, I don't know anyone who honestly thinks that shooting a burglar is prima facie proportionate. The claim is usually more sophisticated, and has two parts:

1. Pointing a gun at someone who has unlawfully entered one's home is a proportionate response.

2. One cannot rightly expect the home-owner to prioritize the trespasser's safety over his own, even in ambiguous situations.

>China siding with Russia should be the final consideration

If it happened, which it didn't.
Pick any two:

1. fixed (or managed) exchange rates

2. independent monetary policy

3. free flow of capital

Most countries pick 2, 3, not 1, and thus have floating exchange rates.

Countries within the Euro area, Hong Kong pick 1, 3, not 2, and thus have limited influence on monetary policy.

China, Argentina pick 1, 2, not 3, and thus impose capital controls.
Quite a few states are doing this btw.

which 'you' are you talking about?

you exist as a entity in other's minds: which is arguably a larger pool of 'you' than the you in your mind.

which explains the drive to influence others: when someone does something out of 'remembrance' or a tribute, metaphorically they are 'running your code'. extorting influence through these proxy 'you' in other's minds is the goal of some people...

if you solidify yourself in other's minds you might survive as an idea throughout the years - that's the part of you that lives forever... so update and modify your image in other's minds while you still can.
