This meaning of "fundamentally financial" sounds to me like designing incentive structures. If so, yes, blockchains are all "fundamentally financial". You need incentives for folks to keep the lights on.

But aren't our lives "fundamentally financial" - exchanging our time for money? That doesn't mean that the work we do can't evolve beyond this fundamental incentive structure.

I draw a line, for example, between the purposes of yield farming and ENS.

Still, the only real answer to this is: "Gather intelligence on the disposition of Oasis. If hostile, establish order of battle and engage. Otherwise, establish friendly relations and secure in cooperation with local leadership."

Again, I am perfectly willing to believe that you are the rare kind of people who can ignore the perverse incentives. But people change. Companies change. Companies get sold, sometimes to people who are only in it for maximal short term revenue. Who then run the companies right into the ground either in the usual way or the private equity way.

As somebody who's spent decades supporting the Long Now, I believe that a lot of what's wrong in our society is people incorrectly understanding their long-term incentives and focusing on the short term. And I'm happy to believe here that Beeminder's long-term incentives really do work out to be mutually beneficial when handled by you.

But there's just no way I need the mental overhead of wondering all the time whether me paying you when I fail in a given instance really conforms to the ultra-long-term, 12-dimensional-chess understanding of conflict of interest. And then if/when it does, whether I'm failing enough to give you sufficient money so that there's a balanced exchange of value. That is way too much overhead, especially for a tool I'll be using in areas where I'll be hitting my cognitive limits on the regular.

I totally believe this works for some people, maybe most of them, but for me it's a non-starter.
I touched on this somewhere else in the thread, but it is not uncommon for companies to end up in a position where they have so much control over society that they need to be limited in their power, else they just hold too much power and that is not good in the long term.

Something like cloudflare, where their decision to host or not host you can be the difference between being able to be online and not, needs to be regulated as a utility because executives at cloudflare should not have the authority to determine who can and cannot host a website on the internet.

Mob rule is not good, and mob rule will lead to oppression of some form if left alone for long enough.

There is no exception to that rule, it is only a matter of time before it happens.

There should be reasonable restrictions on behavior based on harm, but those restrictions should not be in the hands of mob rule or companies like cloudflare. Those restrictions should be based on rule of law and determined in a courtroom with informed jurors and a fair trial.

There are times where that is excessive, this is not one of them because cloudflare is such an important piece of infrastructure. For a private form? You can delete whatever the heck you want, you should be able to.

Something like cloud flare, however, is more of a utility. Giving it the power to shut people off is giving it too much power.
As long as corporations can make a profit (low enough interest rate, high enough rent), they will continue buying the properties. It may be difficult to build fast enough to overwhelm their ability to buy, and in a large number of areas, the market isn't anywhere near saturated.

With them holding the property, they push prices up for buying, which forces people into renting. It's a vicious cycle that just encourages them to buy more property. At some point the whole market may collapse, but hell, they may get a bailout.

Makes sense. Although, what's the difference between a "library" and a "directory", other than the name? I think the difference is more terminological than conceptual.
The market forces won't make many nice decisions if you don't let them. No negative interest rates mean companies and workers need to create artificial scarcity to pay the artificially high costs of financial capital.

Again, no where in your list of what we should do did you include meat consumption. When you talk about these methods, that are unproven at scale, you do NOT mention the implications regarding the amount of meat that can be produced that way.

My suggestion that people eat one less meat based meal per day is far less drastic that if all meat was produced with the methods you are advocating. Yet, you imply that I am the one calling for the drastic action.

Edit: let me ask you this, what are you actually proposing? Should the government ban meat that isn’t produced the way you suggest? If not, what are you proposing that will have a bigger impact than my suggestion that people eat one less meat based meal a day?
My strongly held opinion which is probably unpopular: code comments are a code smell, with very exceptional exceptions. Prose comments are almost immediately suspect, because they’re almost certainly not maintained alongside the code under comment (presume out of date). Prose comments which describe what something does almost always describe it worse than the code itself, and almost always suggest the code itself is too complex. Prose comments which describe why something was done the non-obvious way it was are potentially very useful, but still fall out of date too easily and should be used sparingly. Code comments that aid automation are better, but only if they’re reliably up to date too.

More often than not, a type definition or a smaller function with a descriptive name and predictable properties/parameters serves the purpose of all of these cases much better than a comment would. And when I do write comments, my heuristic for whether it’s valuable is basically “is it longer than a sentence, and can it link to some other reference for future reading?” Secondarily, “did someone ask about this in review and we decided to leave something non-obvious intact?” Not perfect heuristics! But they’ve served me well, especially compared to trying to understand comments which don’t seem to make any sense when I encounter them.
If somebody writes about something in their suicide note, that easily clears the bar for "relevant for their decision making about their suicide" to me. What would the required evidence look like for you? Sworn testimony to a notary saying that it was KF and nothing else?

FOSTA/SESTA was a poorly-conceived law that created a lot of potential liability for the ostensible goal of reducing sex trafficking. Pretty much all sex work is potentially sex trafficking, so any corporate lawyer will tell management to stay as far away from that as possible.

The USA cannot criminalize being a "Nazi" because freedom of political affiliation and political expression is a core right. The USA went through political inquisitions in past decades to root out communism among US citizens, and nobody looks back on that with approval.

As an aside, "Nazi" has devolved into a completely meaningless term, so I'd prefer something a bit more specific.
This sounds like the kind of thing someone says which sounds true and compelling in an exciting way, but is actually totally bogus :) Do you have any evidence of this being true?
You misunderstand: someone is an employee when they fall under many of those categories, not just one. They aren't some kind of requirements/'standards' contractors must completely (or even mostly) adhere to.

Someone would be an employee rather than a contractor if they couldn't subcontract AND they had set hours AND they had to use your tools AND you set the work on a day to day basis. Many of those things need to be true, not just one to push someone from contractor to employee.

On the other hand, MLMs have plenty of people who talk them up while losing money, so it's hard to say from the outside.

I've been working remote for almost a decade, and most of the companies I've worked for have pulled me into the office at some point. All expenses paid of course. No, it does not stop an employee from outsourcing work, however a decent contract will.

Employers should also not frown upon those that have this type of behavior unless they specifically call this out in a contract or the employee handbook.

Note that I've never attempted to outsource my work since I like writing code and I get paid an awesome enough salary as it is, but I don't blame those that do unless they are breaking the rules.

I actually got laid off from a job because the lead programmer on my team was doing this. He had 3 folks working in India full time. He told me about it prior to the layoffs over beers. 3 folks on my team were let go. Note that we all found jobs within a month. The last time I spoke with him, he was still doing it. The only time he does any work is when the company has meetings he is asked to attend.

Absolutely agree on the empathetic listening. But there are definitely times when devs come to be and no amount of empathetic listening is going to get to the room of the problem. Like when things are moving slower, why dates are being missed etc. And no amount of empathetic listening is going to be enough data to go to leadership to argue why things are off, why we need to delay things (and delay other teams), and build any sort of trust that you can reasonable manage the work for the team. But this may be limited to working at a FAANG company where projects span 100's of developers and any shift needs to be backed up with a lot of data about what's going on.
Oh that makes a lot of sense now

To the contrary, the dip in range highlights that, as you increase speed, air resistance rises as a square.

This is pretty much equivalent to a technique I used to see people use in Photoshop. I think it's gone out of style recently, but used to be common (IIRC):

* Import a photo as a layer

* Duplicate that layer

* Increase saturation in that layer and then blur it

* Mix that layer by some percent (20-50?) over the base photo

Gives a nice ethereal feel.

You used to see this all the time in photos. But, maybe it's out of fashion now that everyone knows how to do it :/

ALAC (Apple Lossless …) is not much newer than FLAC — it started in mid 2004 as the audio transport to AirPlay (previously called AirTunes) to AirPort Express.

I've done a lot (...) of stuff with fraud. Some advice (for new accounts only):

* if the postal code is a million miles away, flag it for manual review;

* check the IP address (and its ASN) and start identifying ones that are used commonly in chargebacks; if they're using a mobile device with a mobile network it's trickier, same if they're using proxies (though residential are harder to come by now that vip72 is no longer around)

* check if an email address actually exists and isn't just a carder's fresh email — like you said it's pretty obvious;

* don't deliver to person across the street;

* do some sort of phone verification/confirmation (and don't trust VOIP-type phones) (though this is still beatable, it's at least another cost to the carder).

Lastly, when you have a suspect order, don't tell them that you've cancelled the order due to fraud, or that you've found out: tell them that you're having trouble processing the order with the confirming bank and that you need them to enter another card. They will try again, burn some of their own money, and you'll have everything ready to go.

Querying your database and looking at patterns is certain to be helpful. Just a few joins and you can find a lot.

Artists have for the longest time used our brains ability to upscale. Many paintings, even ones that seem super detailed like those by James Gurney in his Dinotopia series, will have blobs in the background. Our brain will recognize based on silhouette and shape an extraordinary amount of detail that isn’t actually there. Detail such as the type of clothing and the action of a person. But if you look closer it’s a rectangular blob with a triangular blob within it to indicate clothes.

The difference between AI art and actual human art is the level of intention one can detect in it. When I look at human art I absolutely marvel at the cleverness of the artist to convey something that still looks like what I was imagining even when I look closer at it.

With AI art I look closer and realize that the blob presents more confusion the closer I look at it.

I’ve been telling anyone who will listen that AI art isn’t stealing much lunch when it comes to professional art. But it may very well be a powerful tool to artists to speed up their workflows and artists who refuse to use the tool stand a chance at being left behind the same way some artists got left behind in the illustration industry world once digital tools showed up.
Which is why literally the second sentence of the comment you responded to is:

> Most can accommodate A4 but the defaults need to be changed, you need to arrange new suppliers of office supplies (A4 is less prevalent in the US than Letter size) etc.

Most Americans doing printing are doing so for Americans, and doing so in an American market that primarily supports Letter size. If you‘re doing localization for other markets, paper site is pretty trivial in the grand scheme of things compared to much larger hurdles like translation.

The location of manufacture ultimately has very little to do with what the consuming market is asking for. Just because most electronic goods are made in China doesn‘t mean we need to switch to Chinese style plugs and sockets.
Following profit motive doesn't make one a horrible person. People operate rationally within the rules they're constrained by (e.g. capitalism). I just think we are capable of making better rules.

Not saying you're wrong, but do you have any idea how many companies that covers? Privacy violations are not the only kind of harm. Every "energy" company, every food or consumer-goods conglomerate, every electronics company, has probably been fined somewhere for acts that involved harm of children. We can and should do better, both by direct consumer choice and via regulation, but "you're complicit" finger-pointing is non-constructive if not outright hypocritical.
