I think I got the below right, correct me if wrong:

What's stored in the blockchain that makes it work are public keys, and how you can talk to nodes who can append to the blockchain have to work over a network. You can always walk the whole chain at any time and account for all the activity of all public keys, and that is actually required because it's the primary way that the network knows "who" has what.

So what connects the public key to a person?

If:

- private keys are never in the hands of a third party (public keys don't matter), and

- transaction processors/miners are only available over secure channels that somehow dissociate the involved keys from loggable networky things like IP address, and

- information like IP address is not stored in the blockchain,

then a blockchain would be untraceable to anyone who does not have a complete view of all Internet activity between all the participants.

Anyone with your private keys (which you can make more up any time you want) could transact under those keys as long as they can talk to enough processors/miners through any transport method, and alter "your" stuff, that's why you guard those with your life.
You uncover a single entity in a public ledger and it's like pulling a thread that opens up a gold mine.

The ledger as a permanent history available to the world, in real time, of every single transaction.
I just bought one because they are cheap, I dunno what to do with it.

Its not like star trek you can't just ask for a toy car and you get it. There is a lot of setup leveling and tweaking of supports and the first layer of print to get the print looking clean or even printing at all.

Printing takes hours like 6+ for anything remotely complicated. It will probably take you two or three goes printing a thing until you get results you are happy with. Once its printed you then need to clean up the print removing support etc.

What material you print in will also massively change your results / chances of success. You may need to encase the printer to control the environment temperature, wind and toxic fumes depending on the material need to be accounted for.

The stuff on thingyverse all looks cool but it's all cool gimmicks if you want to do something useful you need to know how to 3d model.

TLDR:
It's all a bit of a faff but if you are the type of person that likes to build their own computer its a lot of fun, being able to download a car felt awesome.
The toy car has surprising detail and despite being made in PLA the easiest plastic to use its again surprisingly strong.

Ease of use 4/10.
If you can't 3d model its fairly useless 1/10.
If you can 3d model its so much faster and easier to get complicated parts 8/10.
I have a spot in the yard where I work sometimes (or to just sit and have a cigarette). I can’t really see the driveway from there.

“Animal detected at Front Door” has become one of my favourite notifications. It turns out our driveway is a popular place for neighborhood cats to investigate. They, so far, have always been happy to get some scratches and tummy rubs.
Permissions is the big one.

Second is potential for DDoS (either intentionally or unintentionally).

Third is possibility of "oopsies" via me intentionally or unintentionally including my passwords/sensitive info/what have you in the POST body. Now you have to add branch to look for and scrub sensitive info in your logger -- otherwise my PII has now been logged (and if I were a massive asshole looking for a quick payday, I could throw up a fuss).

It's fine in dev, but shouldn't be in prod. Too much liability.
How are people going to do moral things against an immoral enforcer when the enforcer becomes immoral, if we assume all are too immoral to have the right to privacy?

I wouldn't quite say that this need is unacknowledged, most DBs have some kind of streaming interface for actual data contents (not queries, though), which for instance are leveraged by Debezium to expose change event streams in one uniform event format (disclaimer: I work on Debezium). Going foward, I expect that these capabilities will be substantially built out, also providing streaming query support (incrementally updated materialized views), not being locked in separate licensing layers or a more or less complex to use after-thought, but a primary part of database offerings, just as SELECT today.
> Would you support removing cash if everyone was given a bank account

... that couldn't be closed, limited, frozen, or surveilled?

Sure!

But otherwise, not a chance.

Giving somebody "a bank account" is just giving them a pretty piece of paper. All the useful properties of that pretty piece of paper are revocable at a whim.
Why does the reason matter? If you invest in your employee, you want to see something back.

It's not cool to take free training if you know you will be out shortly.

True. And it would be more likely that the authors would be hoping/planning on making a lot of money from the app in the app store.

There is something very romantic (I'm not sure the significance beyond this) about the story of a rag tag bunch of people at Apple (most of whom were actually on Apple payroll, "stealing" their time) coming together for a passion project, not with get rich dreams. And somehow pulling it off.
Numbers like this should really be based on cash flow. I'm sure it'd still be negative, but the rate of change would be different.
Cash is definitely not untraceable.

There are literally serial numbers on every bill printed in the United States.
Strong disagree with your conclusion.

That something is effectively public domain does not make it legal to use. This movie was in a thousand torrents, yet one gets still sued for uploading a kilobyte of it.

That it is hard or impossible to know if it is legal to use does not mean it is ok to do so. You need a source for the license that is able to compensate you for the damages you incur in case their license was invalid.

I'm not happy about either of these points, but that's how it is currently and just closing your eyes and hoping it will go away won't work.

Why is the type rating so expensive? I assume someone getting this rating already has all of the pre-req ratings. Do they need X hours in the jet and sims, and each of those hours is expensive?

> The use of training agreements is growing even though unemployment is low, which presumably gives workers more power, said Jonathan Harris who teaches at the Loyola Law School Los Angeles.

Just don't pay it. Let them take you to small claims over an unpaid bill and then show up and say you can't afford it. Or just don't show up and let them flounder over the bill.

This is just simple intimidation. "Job training" is not the same as signing an agreement for say being put through school or get certifications. In those cases, there's sometimes significant monetary value added to the employees total comp (in the form of those certification payments). So many times an employee will sign an N year work agreement w/ repayment clause because they dont plan on leaving anyway. I signed one of these for the same reason a few jobs ago. Got some stuff paid for, they laid me off and I walked with what I bought for free. Always make sure that you red line any agreement and always get a termination clause written in. If they're unwilling to put one in, you are being scammed.

In this case initial job training is a "cost of doing business". There's no justification for such a fee. Imagine having the balls to charge a McD's worker $3000 for learning to flip a patty. It's not brain surgery.
I disagree. This is only true if you also get shit for being late. Estimates are always off. “Hey this ended up being harder than expected” is a reasonable excuse for delays. If that’s the case then an estimation error in the other direction shouldn’t mean you can just screw around for a while.

You definitely will run into legal issues depending on the state.

Some states like California you can only get a DUI if there’s evidence you moved your car, but in other states it’s a lot less clear - and you can be charged with any appearance of intent to drive, like sleeping in the driver’s seat.

Not to mention the possibility of getting a trespassing charge in a private lot overnight.

Do you have a source for the Gulfstream type rating cost? Most type ratings cost around $10-15k, and the most expensive I’ve seen is around $35k. Very few pilots pay out of pocket for type ratings, but the vast majority who do only need to take a low 5-figure hit. An aspiring airline pilot could self-fund all the formal training they ever need for under $100k.
Do these small companies want employees who feign incompetence and "quiet quit"? Because paying for training is no guarantee the employee will be a profitable one, contract or not.
Exactly. It is hard to forget that abstract expressionism was (by their own admission) heavily funded by the CIA, in order to broadcast the idea of America as the land of creative freedom.

K-pop music was funded by the Korean government for similar reasons.

The huge boom in the value of Chinese art was, it turns out, massively inflated by crooked deals (collectors and galleries selling to each other in order to boost the value of their artists).

Without a doubt the reputations of curators, administrators and critics related to this exhibition are dependent upon the success of this exhibition.

This comment is one of the laziest ones that you can make. "No it isn't" is literally the top (least useful) strata of the argument pyramid, provides precisely zero extra information, and doesn't belong on Hacker News.
There could be room for that. But the article cites several
examples not like that, particularly training that employees consider rudimentary or already covering what they already know.

It sounds like bullshit because it is - employers are trying to get employees to stay, and some use a stick to do so.
This comment thread is a case study in confirmation bias. People are looking for data to support their belief that VC-backed tech businesses endlessly light cash on fire. And, refuse to dig a layer deeper to get to the truth, which is that Uber is currently already a fundamentally profitable business.

Uber's free cash flow was +$672m and +$382m in the last two quarters. The reason they reported negative income was due to huge write downs in past investments.

For all those who have been flabbergasted by Uber's propensity to burn cash, the last two quarters are an opportunity to learn a lesson in business, if you're up for it.

No? If this is a joke it seems like an odd place to put it.

Otherwise you really need to get out more and talk with ordinary folks anywhere in the world, especially in the construction trades, because the vast majority of them don't ascribe to this at all.

This kind of catastrophic virtue signalling spiral simply doesn't occur among large segments of the working population.

That's the primary problem with "free speech" platforms, isn't it?

Countries with the Highest Inflation Rates
Cases such as Cuba, Venezuela, Ukraine, Zimbabwe, Lebanon, among others, top the lists of countries with the highest inflation rates worldwide (see [Steve Hanke's list](https://twitter.com/steve_hanke), economic analyst). In these places the citizens themselves use alternatives to the official market rates and international companies and banks, the informal market or free market is growing, which not only operates with fiat money but also incorporates Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a store of value. However, the methods used to make person-to-person (P2P) exchanges lack the technological infrastructure to make the process fast and more importantly: free of scams.

> That was hardly a decisive victory

Of course it was, Kupiansk is a very important railway junction[1] and the whole front collapsed after it was captured. Speed of the operation was nothing short of amazing. In mere days Ukraine liberated more than Russia had captured in months of heavy fighting with insane losses, worst since WW2. In large parts of Ukraine's northeast, Russia was pushed back to state border and there is virtually no fighting anymore beyond sporadic Russian revenge attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. This is dictionary definition of a decisive victory. Russian forces have left the Sumy-Kharkiv region and the fighting over Ukraine's north-east has finished.

Why are police officers dragging pilots from airliner cockpits[2] and sending as cannon fodder to the frontlines if there is no desperate shortage of manpower? Why is Putin's right-hand man touring prisons to recruit rapists and murderers?[3] The clock is ticking on Kherson and it is only a question of time when Ukraine will liberate it, Ukraine already conducted a successful limited operation and liberated a lot of ground north of Kherson. Why isn't the "full force" brought in to stop the humiliating series of defeats?

Yeah that's not going to happen.
Yeah, it's fun to hate on landlords but often they're not making much outside of appreciation - or they're basing their profit on renting a house today purchased ten or twenty years ago (which would be better to sell and do something else with the money, often).

I think the fundamental issue is that the whole renting market is buying long and selling short (buy a dwelling for a long period, rent it for short periods) and that causes issues on one or another direction (either you rent for what appears "too much" because you need to build reserves, or you rent for what appears "fair" and the first major expense kills the landlord).

If I could afford to buy these platforms I totally would. Then I would make Netflix series that delve into all the conspiracies given that I would own the rights to the conversations. Every season would revolve around the most popular narratives. Every topic would be on the table and not just surface coverage, I would hire many investigative journalists and private investigators. Sites like Reddit and 4chan would try hard to influence my episodes and I would totally let them. The end goal? Make money of course, and also let the world see how random and disingenuous public platforms can be and how easy it is to manipulate the masses or in some cases how half-truths can be molded into conspiracy.

I’m wondering why you expected that? So far, every free-speech-maximalism platform has very quickly become an alt-right conspiracy platform, why would parler be different?
I tried out Parler early on, and for whatever reason its algorithm thought I hated Jews and that I would appreciate seeing content like that. Or, that's the predominant content that was available at the time. I have not been back.

Given Kanye's recent statements regarding Jews and my experiences with the platform, this announcement is eyebrow raising.
