>On the other hand you don't see a ton of money going to non-competitive races because it doesn't really matter. The politician doesn't benefit all that much so it's not exactly a great way to earn favors.

Just my own speculation, but this is probably only true to a certain point. A politician in a non-competitive race is not going to have anything productive to do with 15 million as in NV3, but money that goes to the PAC run by your former aide helps to grease his palm (so 100k goes in and 50k is spent on ads, 50k on the PAC CEO's salary for example), or to similarly grease the palm of your various consultants, friends, and family, or to grease the palms of friendly industry groups who you sincerely hope will hire you on a do-nothing job once you retire from politics.

Money coming in to a certain point is always a good thing, and I speculate being in a foregone conclusion race probably helps limit the scrutiny on how you spend it.
Somehow, humanity has gotten good at taking systems that were designed to be decentralized and distributed (like crypto, E-mail, personal websites, and so on) and instead, surrender them to a few big companies who become single points of failure. We keep failing to learn from this every time.
What? Where is the pyramid scheme in this? Not once do they mention anything involving individuals having to coax other individuals into it.

It's 100% voluntary and makes zero promise of some fantastical ROI (unlike every non-Bitcoin cryptocurrency).

BSV Hardfork – Security Considerations
It is great. I think they got there by extrapolating a home phone
interrupting dinner table conversations, and similar. The urgency of a ringing phone dominating all else. Like a fire alarm alerting that this is the most important conversation to be had!
SEO is lots of things, not just the underhand (eg keyword stuffing) nonsense.

Make sure that whatever site you put up HAS GOOD CONTENT, is accessible, uses semantic HTML, and some sort of metadata such as schema.org to help ensure that the search engines can show you for the right queries.

Doing SEO last is like washing your hands last or thinking about security last. It's not hard to do the basic good robust everyday stuff as you go along, and not doing it will likely leave you invisible or worse, IMHO.
The SEC creates rules and has zero jurisdiction for criminal prosecution, they refer potential cases to DOJ. They probably lean on having air tight cases because their opponents are better financially prepared to spend their way around any lawsuit/action.

Also, the stock market cops are essentially FINRA (self policing non government company), SEC is the rule writer and hand slapper for the most part. I don't know how crypto regulations were supposed to be setup. If it was the same setup as SEC/FINRA where entities have to self-report data, then fraud would be somewhat easy.
Statistics.

It made data, functions, web applications, and REST API finally click for me.

I took two stats courses-- a simple one at a community college where we dabbled with a stats analysis app. And a more complex one, where we wrote scripts in the language "R" and uses rStudio.

I began to realize things I should have realized long before that:

- Functions typically intake data, and output data. What made it click was inputs into a statistical model, such as multivariate linear regression.

- A program runs on data-- data is basically the "currency" (i.e. monetary currency) of an application.

- Data comes in various shapes and sizes, and collections. Programs have to be compatible with those shapes, sizes, and depths within collections.

Once I realized this, I began reflecting more on the typical 3-tier web application model, and HTTP, and REST API, including looking at diagrams on google images. It became so much clearer once I had a solid understanding of data & functions.
I had an album in my library mysteriously vanish from Google Play, a service I had used for years. So I switched to Apple Music. A few months later, the same album vanished as well as a single.

Possibly the final straw was when I wanted to purchase an album that existed in iTunes, but only in the iTunes "store" of another country.

Since then, I've just went back to maintaining my own library. I purchase lossless music from Bandcamp and Ototoy. I also rip CDs. I had been importing my files into VLC on iOS but recently switched to Sailfish and just copy my files onto an SD card. For streaming I setup my own instance of Koel.

Does it suck to maintain almost 200GB of audio files? Yes.
Have I lost a single track since doing so? No.
Different category of risk.

CEX and DEX can both have hacks. An open source DEX can be verified, formally tested, and made immutable and un-upgradable on chain, like Uniswap.

Uniswap V2 contract is 2 years unchanged, $3.8B TVL and $1B daily volume, close to 10 year old Coinbase CEX. Not bad for being a joke.
I don't think it's that complicated. IME, it's more of this:

1. Holding a Sprint Review is easy

2. Actually acting on the output of the Sprint Review and making concordant changes is difficult, time consuming, potentially expensive, and possibly disruptive.

Add in a little bit of Cargo Culting and blind obedience to a process that was published by Somebody Else, and it's pretty easy to see how an organization could fall into a pattern out having shallow, useless Sprint Review sessions that are done simply for the sake of doing them, but yield no real change.

Is there any evidence that Apple is using the unique identifier for advertising? Also isn’t the unique identifier necessary for users who actually opt-in to tracking?
Trapped–The Perfect Dashboard
Plenty of organizations and individuals run their own servers and have no problem exchanging email with Google, Microsoft, and other large providers.

The point is that they can and do because the system is not, in fact, centralized.

Also, judged only on the volume of spam and abuse, many systems besides email -- decentralized and centralized alike -- could be called a "total failure." And yet somehow these systems remain stable and functional and useful.
We need more sites like this to track slavery, child labor, employee abuse, financial fraud and more.

Night at the Office–The Unfinished Pipeline
I think it's kind of sad that we went from "let's see if we can add a phone to this" in the 90s/2000s to "lets see if we can add this to a phone" in the post-iPhone era.

Given the scarcity of phone connections I suppose it was inevitable, but man was it fun for awhile.
I just opened Apple News, it has a for you page and it shows me articles that are interesting to me (tech and cars), and a nice ad below them for cheap car loans.

How did the Apple server know what articles to serve me? I never asked for them explicitly.

So I was labeled as a user that likes tech news and cars, and the server automatically sends me stuff relevant (articles & ads) to these labels.

Japanese phones get left out of the conversation because these topics spin into nostalgia and the Western audience doesn’t have any experience with them. Likewise the JP discussion wouldn’t fondly remember all the Nokia variants.

On a side note I have a pet theory that Japanese cell phones helped push display technology forward. The English alphabet can be displayed very easily with limited pixels but kana and kanji cannot so there’s less pressure for Western manufacturers to innovate displays. For a phone to first be successful in Japan it needs a very high resolution display.
Some of us put out real info in our profiles.
A monad is a box that can contain a value. You can run an operation on the value inside the box.

An example of a monad is the Option monad: the box can either contain a value or it can be empty. The monad operation in this case modifies value in the box, or does nothing if the box is empty.

Another example is the IO monad, you can think of the box in this case as representing "the state of the world". The monad operation can modify the value in the box, but it can also write in sharpie on the outside of the box (perform IO)

In general a monad is any data structure where you have some boxed value and you can operate on the value without opening the box.

What really concerns me is that India blocked Videolan.org without explanation and still hasn't explained its rationale for doing so.

A country which prides itself on being a democracy should at least explain its actions, especially when these actions adversely affect millions of people.

Even if an exchange doesn't start out as a scam, it might become insolvent due to a partial hack, or losing a wallet by accident, or some other screwup.

An exchange can be technically insolvent for a long time without anyone noticing, and try to fill the hole with money from fees etc. All will look normal from the outside... until too much money gets taken out too fast.
The end result is often called a "local maximum" and what you've pointed out happens time and time again.

Cars underwent something similar very early on, but by the time we got to the "Model T" era it was pretty much determined what they would look like.
It's a good thing it's not called "Star Link" !
It's very interesting how the EV industry models itself off the software industry, where companies deal more in hype and promises than actual products. This is expected from software, but it's surreal when it's a car company. The only EV company that started as an EV company and actually makes cars is Tesla, Rivian is a strong second and they have made like 2,000 cars.
It sounds like you think there's a bit of simple math that would have shown all of this was deeply suspicious? Could you be more specific?

I'd say they're kind of a blend - heuristics is what enables the Illusory Truth Effect.

> I don't see people being able to predict the future with much reliability.

Agree, but people seem generally unable to realize this (there is a similar problem with Truth, another thing people predict without realizing - see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33593349).

Now, what is the causality of this? Presumably it is a natural consequence/side effect/service of consciousness. But: so (presumably) are things like racism, but because that is harmful, society has deemed it inappropriate and this is socially enforced in various ways. Might the same be possible with clairvoyance and soothsaying, or at least in certain special scenarios/venues? The institution of science seems to have accomplished it, and realized substantial benefits as a consequence - might it have utility in domains other than science (politics, human relations, etc)?

I find it helpful to have an automated timer rather than trying to count myself.
> But at least in crypto I have the OPTION of storing it myself.

You have the option with Fiat too - you can get paper currency and store it yourself in a secure location. $10,000 can be stored in $100 bills in as little as c0.03 meters^3.

Using a bank is much more convenient to store Fiat though if you want to buy/sell things, much like using an exchange to store Crypto is much more convenient if you want to trade crypto (because let's be honest, not that many people are using Crypto to buy pizzas!).

Yes, that helps. I guess I've just been fortunate to never have had a traumatic experience since I've never felt anything like "The full body pulsing heartbeat, the choking/crushing feeling in the chest, the need to fight right now, the overpowering rage that can happen, the near blindness from the tunnel vision, the punch in the gut. It’s different, depending, but it shares common themes."

No one called it a paradise. That's a strawman argument.

I've been using my own domain for my email for over two decades. In that time it's been self-hosted, hosted with Google, and hosted with Fastmail. I control it, so I can take it wherever I want. I've been able to take my full message history with me too.

It has not been a "total failure" with spam/abuse either, though I'm glad to have Fastmail handle that for me these days.

In any case, I'll take the tradeoffs over a centralized system.
Your source doesn't make that connection clear at all. I'm not seeing any connection to the bubble, just overlapping years and "technology" keywords.

This guy just has issues with all the issues that directly stem from decentralization. You cannot decentralize, allow everyone to host their own server, or to join a server someone else hosts without running smack dab into the same problems.

A chemical addiction is not a "want".
For me it comes to an almost philosophical question: do you want to live like an average person in a developed country, or do you want to live better than average in a different place with a cheaper cost of living?

Thank you for the calc though, seems really helpful.
wow, there are at least five people on here with more than 500 points that don't live in the real world and instead choose to believe this is a utopia where people don't work in their own interest and will instead sacrifice for everyone else to benefit over themselves. Please open your eyes and realize this is not the case and that pretty much any time it has been held up as the case it has turned out to be a cover for self interested (most recent example on here is the Patagonia founder hiding the true purpose of avoiding billions in taxes with the unicorn farts of a charitable donation to a charity controlled by his family) and sometimes illegal (most recent example on here is the SBF FTX debacle. Effective altruism apparently really means fraudulent client fund comingling and theft) behavior.

The first step to a better world is acknowledging the prime driver of self interest in human action and designing systems that support that while protecting from too much power. This historically meant strong property rights, strong speech rights and strong antitrust regulation. Wishing that someone would exercise their property and speech rights differently isn't an effective system and regulating them into right think and right action robs us of innovation because there's no reason for anyone to put in the extra effort to make something better beyond trivial improvements since they won't get to keep that benefit while they pay the cost of development, it is far easier to just stay mediocre and not stick your head out.
I think the problem is that most people managing organizations don't see the value in processes.
Well, just as I want as many people as possible to have email addresses that I can use to send messages to them, it would be useful for me for as many people as possible to have the equivalent for more public communication. I think that's a separate issue from power structures.
Sure, but SBF was palling around hard with these people. Even if the SEC isn't responsible, why not talk to their buddies at FINRA and say "hey these people smell like another Madoff"?

Exactly - market segmentation was huge and every phone was basically "identical" - storage space, processor speed, connection speed, even screen size, these things really didn't "matter" much yet.
That is not true - donations are not usually considered profit, at least in Germany. They occupy a bit a weird middle ground. They may count as income, but for example donations we receive for the open source projects that our company runs are VAT exempt. However, it must be true donations and not provide material benefit - if the donations provide any substantial benefit (priority when considering features or bug fixes, access to special features, …), then it‘s no longer donations but services. Things like a mention on a supporter page, occasional swag and stickers, … are usually fine.

Because crypto in cold storage doesn't earn interest and can't be used as collateral for a margin loan.

Crypto is full of people looking for to get rich quick with interest rates that are obvious ponzi schemes and/or by taking on insane leverage. They don't want to just put tokens in an offline wallet and watch the market prices.
But they could just do that directly - like Russia and China have done with Yandex, VK, WeChat, TikTok, Baidu, etc.

But for some reason the EU is still hooked on neoliberalism and anti-protectionism, even when it has ravaged the continent with the energy crisis and the US monopolising the Tech industry, etc. (remember that the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, Acorn, ARM, Linux and Nokia were all European once).

Like in this case - it'd be better to just invest directly into support for EU-based FOSS consultancies to contribute and maintain critical libraries like OpenSSL, LibreSSL, Linux, etc. - and then all EU government and industry would benefit with that, whilst keeping the jobs and investment in the EU.

They're just so short-sighted and dogmatic about neoliberalism (as well as doing whatever the US asks, regardless of the negative effect on Europe). It's no wonder we're being eclipsed by China. Just look at the GDP per capita and Productivity since 2008 - https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?location...
