> What would you have them do? Vote for the party that treated them as third-class citizens for decades?

Strawman, the options are not "apartheid or corruption", because the party that treated them as third-class citizens doesn't exist anymore.

You're presenting a false equivalence here, but I'm not sure what point your dishonesty is supposed to make.
Is there a double spend problem in fiat currencies? Honestly, I do not think there is. So what is the point of cryptocurrency?
Wayland compositors are going to switch to it, with some already doing it (like Sway). Video players like mpv use it. Blender has some plan for it.

Basically, it's the way forward, not OpenGL.
As the article's author says at some point society is always built on trust in another entity.

Crypto fully shifts this from the database operator to the software developer and is willing to accept significant trade offs to do so.

Most of the unique complexity and challenges in blockchain technology originates from this.

Except they're clearly talking about Christianity.
Yes, absolutely. In a fully public voting ledger, you could manually verify each vote is associated to a unique national identifier without revealing it.

E.g., this vote corresponds to an SSN that hasn't cast any other vote, without revealing the SSN in question.
Apparently not owning an iPhone makes this rather hard.
in the beginning of the 21st century, some said cars are not for the masses.

They were hard to start for example . You would get your hands dirty and needed some power to turn that hand crank.

When those problems got solved and more cars got on the road it would become dangerous with so many cars, and people suggested you need to learn it properly (and get a driver license). Some thought not many would get such a license to drive a still dangerous machine (no airbags or even ABS at that time).

In the end you are ready to do the work (learn) if it is worth it.

And if it is worth it… that nobody knows (in the western world the answer is mostly “no” right now, at least if one trusts the complex economic systems to work well for the next decades).

If it’s worth the hassle, more technologies will get built to help.
It's a great idea.

I learned to drive on a simulator, and it was very helpful. The simulator was a realistic-enough arcade game with force feedback, three pedals and a shifter, and a key to restart the engine when you stalled it.

I had little trouble driving once I got behind the wheel of a real car.
That's somewhat true for me as well, but I generally pay under 5 EUR for a game. Deciding between 20 games and a text editor doesn't look so good. Though as long as Sublime Text's developer is happy with the market share and revenue it has, I wouldn't change the price.
Stablecoins pegged to the dollar and various other currencies of the "real world" have existed for many years now. Stop acting in bad faith.
In particular frequent disconnect/reconnects seem to cause stress to others in IRC, sometimes even resulting in bans, when it ultimately just shouldn't matter.

Or just don't get such an impractical pet to begin with. Bringing small 10kg or less dogs (or cats) in carriers is not a problem; the problem is people thinking they have some kind of right to bring gigantic dogs with them everywhere.
> No ... not like these. I can control any communication through these.

How do you control what other people say to you through emails they send you to your Gmail account?

I get the point you tried to make: Alexa is a listening device customers intentionally plant in their home. But if you do care about corporations listening in, you're missing the forest for the trees. Gmail alone is far more incidious and has the potential to reach far more personal information than Alexa.
You can easily audit total assets though. Just look at one number on the chain.
This a solved problem that isn’t solved using blockchain.

In Thailand when you get out into the rural areas, there’s no central database you can go and argue to in regards to land ownership. You have chiefs. He mediates sales between people and ensures who owns what land. If a land dispute happens it gets resolved by the chief.

In cities it’s all controlled by local governments and paper records.

It works in the city with government and paper. It works less in rural areas where people can be bought.

Blockchain is not solving any problems here. The problem is no one managing any records.

Paper records and up to date gps records are enough.
A car solves a real problem, clearly crypto only causes them.
I think really the big thing is that the films are very high budget and therefore Disney/Marvel are scared to do anything in the least offensive because they want the most return. So it’s not so much intentionally kid friendly as just as vanilla as can be for safety.

Streaming/episodic is much lower budget so they take more risks to try and bring in a different set of audiences that their films weren’t pulling in. My wife for example doesn’t care at all for the films, but really got into Wandavision and She-Hulk because the premise was more interesting to her.

I think the safety of the films might also disappear soon too as China and a few other countries recently rebuffed them. Marvel has tried very hard for years to be very China friendly because it’s a huge market, but recently with Shang-Chi they got blocked. So now they’ve stopped pandering to a more conservative market.

Coincidentally the big up and coming market is progressive youths and I think you’ll see a lot more topics that speak to them (or at least what a Disney exec thinks does). I don’t think Disney gives a crap about being progressive for the morality of it, but after they’ve had a pretty bad few years at the hands of conservatives (China, Florida gay rights etc), they’re now realizing this progressive market is ripe for the picking.

I think She-Hulks tone comes firmly from that pivot. So I suspect what is traditionally seen as child friendly values will see a down turn in their big projects.

That said, media is both a reflection of us and we are a reflection of it. So I think what topics will be considered child friendly will also change dramatically over the next few years.
This is super cool! I’m assuming that there is nothing on iOS that’s comparable, which is a bummer.

I couldn't find the information on the guidelines for these design ideas. For example are they based on the Google/Apple/other design docs?

Of course some of them are obvious, miss alignments etc, but subtle font decisions such as the "2 hours ago" for the last activity to my eye seems so much nicer.
Intel is offering customer silicon on their latest architecture. So you could be ambitious and design your own block with as much SRAM as you can sacrifice other accelerator units for, depending on routing latency.

Edit: customer not custom, small difference but important if you're asking..
HUH? you realize the device only enables the microphone based on the wakeword, and only then starts sending traffic out.

This is easily verifiable, and has been done so multiple times by independent parties.
Hundreds of millions of people in India are using fiat payment apps like Google Pay, PayTM etc. I don't know how they make it work but I doubt they're all conventionally banked people.
AKS doesn't produce a certificate so it would make the computation much less useful. Verifying a ECPP certificate is faster than running AKS for sure.

Someone could go around claiming to have proved numbers prime with AKS when really they just passed strong Baillie-PSW ... if someone ever caught their fraud they'd at least make an important discovery of a Baillie-PSW pseudoprime. :)

Sure, but that’s in the future and they aren’t not going to add Vulkan. But it makes sense to prioritize GL for now, especially because a lot of the GL work comes much easier thanks to their prior MESA work.

Even amongst your list, I don’t see mass adoption of the applications today that don’t also have a GL backend.

Blender alone will be a gargantuan uplift to get to Vulkan because so much of the ecosystem is coded agains GL directly.
I always thought of consciousness as like a double pendulum or other chaotic system. Governed entirely by physics, and you can simulate it given hypothetical initial conditions. However, the sensitivity to the initial conditions is so high that it's impossible to look at a real world instance of the system and then predict its behavior more than a trivial amount of time into the future. It's entirely possible for consciousness to be mechanistic without being deterministic.
I remember. IMO they tried outrageous microtranstions on fanbase who were demographically resistent which TBH some practices are more acceptable 5 years later. Disney also has other women oriented franchises that seems to have big mobile potential. Also never too late to acclimizate the young, the parks already nickle and dime like crazy. Of course I don't want this, but I think it's something they can milk. Video games compete with sleep, casual games with everything.
> then any operations involve canonicalizing the state by scanning the entire subsequent chain

Sounds exactly like what blockchain node software does when you first start it up and it syncs the chain?
Correct. But this is a new driver.
In case anyone needs a thorough source to explain why you don't need a Blockchain, I found the NIST paper (esp the flowchart on page 42) quite helpful:

https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ir/2018/nist.ir.8202.pdf

It worked wonderfully to cut the BS coming from a greedy manager, in a non confrontational way ("so, what do you actually need?" , "you say 'security', but which aspect do you need? immutability ? non-repudiability? confidentiality??"). I think NIST's clout helped, along that they'd have to fully understand a 65 page report. I'm sure the content of the report would have been quite eye-opening, but that wasn't needed. Greed is a feeling, not a rational process.

> But what if your private keys are actually owned by Alameda, who lent you them for the purpose of demonstrating solvency but then oops options blew up and they're gone now?

Private keys are never exposed at any point in the overall operation of the proof. In fact, the general structure provided as an example in the article itself doesn't expose anything of the sort.

Furthermore, the structure provided isolates the asset amounts down to each individual account, effectively siloing the damage to that particular account.

Even if the idea of lending them the assets is entertained, the flows out from their accounts would be recorded.

------

> But what if most of your deposits were gold- or USD-backed assets and your assets are all shitecoin and a 51% attack happens to shitecoin and everybody wants their gold back?

1) The conversion over to the token in question would've already occurred & been recorded onto the overall proof.

2) The sudden collapse in value of the token doesn't warrant a refund in the same way that a sudden collapse in oil commodities/futures doesn't mean that a refund is permitted. The downtrend risk is explicit in the desire to convert from A to B.

------

> But what if you do all this and you prove solvency, but your assets are all rated by S&P and oh crap just like in 2007 they rated everything triple-A but it's actually junk?

The scenario mentioned is a problem with the rating system itself, along with the overreliance of a handful of rating agencies with opaque rating systems/mechanisms. This is outside the scope of the article in question, but it's resolvable via the implementation of crowdsourced & automated rating systems that have clear grading rubrics & metrics, along with the inputs used to give said grades.

If you were arguing in good faith then surely you’d use the argument I’d presented already, and not ignore it for your convenience.

Since we’re playing the logic game (and it would be strange if we were playing some game without logic - I fear that you may be), trans-men are a sub-category of women, not men, so you’ll need to expand on which part of my argument is moot.
Space warfare is hard. You can't easily hide anything, so keeping a weapon very close is not feasible. Lasers don't work very well either because if the heat is enough to overheat the other satellite it's probably enough to overheat yourself. Jamming doesn't work very well in the age of super directional communications (see: SpaceX in Ukraine, which is not even designed to withstand jamming).
> Standardized and encrypted healthcare records.

This is probably a non-starter in many cases. In my country, we had an e-health system that had millions invested in its development (we're a small country) and yet didn't work, nor was it really compatible with the systems already in place: https://www-delfi-lv.translate.goog/news/national/politics/e... (translated link)

> Title: E-health is written off: those responsible for the "fraud" worth millions went unpunished, will create a new system

> Excerpt: Its unpredictable operation has caused quite a lot of worries not only for doctors, but also for patients, who may go to the pharmacy for the medicine prescribed by the doctor and not get it, because e-health has rebelled. Likewise, e-health tends to be incompatible with the local systems of some large medical institutions, so there are situations when the electronic referral of a family doctor to a medical institution must be printed anyway.

> On the other hand, doctor Nīcmane-Aišpure remembers a case when she visited a patient during a home visit, concluded that the condition was serious, wrote an electronic referral to call an ambulance, but "the ambulance is unhappy because the electronic referral cannot be opened".

> The eHealth system also still requires users to perform many manual steps. "It is a manual system, where at best you can extract some Excel files," says Solvita Olsen, a sworn lawyer and associate professor at the University of Latvia, who has been following the e-health saga since its inception.

And that was a system that didn't even try anything new, how do you imagine most mediocre countries out there will manage to deal with the technical complexity of blockchain based systems? Why even bother at that point, wouldn't they be better off with an XML or JSON schema or whatever other lowest common denominator one can come up with, to have some base data about the person and then additional bits that might be dependent on each country's laws?

It's not like there aren't people that enter the data in these systems anyways, in your example of shipment tracking, someone could enter whatever data they want regardless. Want to make it appear that a package has left the country, even when you haven't bothered to send it out? Sure, just bribe whoever is running the system, very much like: https://xkcd.com/538/
This kind of experimental project above looks pretty well aligned with where things are heading, so I think focus on Vulkan would be still fitting.

Meaning by the time it will be more usable, Vulkan will be more used as well.

And as above, if you implement Vulkan - you get OpenGL through Zink. If you implement OpenGL - you still have to implement Vulkan. So with limited resources, the first option looks way more effective.
Yup, the rest could apply to just about anything, but this brief phrase near the end makes it pretty clear that it's about religion. That, and phrases like "the cult has left noticeable marks on you". Somehow all atheists (or at least the militant kind) seem to believe religious people are all deeply scarred and twisted, no matter how "watered-down from its original form" their "cult" may be.
Why this whataboutism? This is completely orthogonal to what you mention.
> My understanding is that you can bring a bike (in a bag, disassembled) on board, and stow it near the end of the car behind the seats, but I've never tried it, nor have I seen it (but I've only ridden a handful of times so I'm no expert).

You can; on the busier lines you have to book the specific seats at the end of the carriages near the luggage space. It's better than nothing but it's a lot of faff.
In that instance their smartphone access and traffic is almost certainly monitored too making the point somewhat moot.
This would be like the ratings agencies that said the bad mortgages were AAA leading to the housing market collapse, leading to the creation of Bitcoin
So npm package management is legitimately a cult?
This is the kind of answer you'd expect from the member of a cult.
I assume you have to install software to do that? Software written by some author(s) that you have to trust? That you have to download and install from trusted sources?

It's not like I can verify "one number on the chain" with my own human eyes and no third parties involved. There's always trust somewhere in the system, you're just making that trust relationship more obscure and opaque.
Except that they produce rubbish.
> However, to be able to support those last two use cases, we'd need to define a mechanism by which a room could designate one special space as the owning space for that room.

This actually exists, so a room knows its canonical parent space, but the feature is not used: https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/client-server-api/#mspacepa...
Not a problem. I don't need to be taken seriously in general or by people whom I likewise don't take seriously.
Good god no, I just want it to work. I used to be that way, but you can be too in love with customizing your tools to the point that it gets in the way of doing your own projects. I do not want to spend all my time carving better knife handles.

I think about writing my own IDE sometimes, but then I think how all-consuming such a project would be, and having to support a userbase made up of developers.
That's the Bedrock edition, not the Java edition. Entirely different beasts.
Yep. I don't think you can use cryptography to fix human behavior. Humans gonna human, you can't crypto your way out of that.
Currently aren't, otherwise go tell the navy and airforce that. There's a reason programs exist to train AI to out gun topgun, because the current roadmap leads to large UAVs more performant than current manned fighters specifically because pushing beyond human flight envelops has capability merits.
> And while domains (not DNS) are less decentralized, it's all standardised and protocol based.

For what it's worth as an example, Ethereum's name system (ENS) is also standardized and protocol based. And it eliminates the requirement of centralized registry corporations.

With regards to the land markers.

You could have a database at the government land authority. If markers in the field don't match up with records, the land authority will ask police to correct the issue.

If neither police nor land authority can be trusted to keep records and uphold the law, who is going to help you when a marker in the field doesn't match up to some distributed database?

Big land owner will say "I don't know anything about that record in the sky. But look at this land marker on the ground. That's reality!" and with no police, who is going to help you?

Your evidence is an audit company finding a vulnerability and the team refusing to fix it? How does that prove your point?

Sure, while it's hard for users to verify that the code does what it says and has no bugs, there are companies that can do it for you (as you posted) and even automated tools that allow anyone to do so automatically, and as the EVM gets used and exploited, these tools and audits also gets more robust. More importantly, the code can be audited by multiple sources, as it being public means it can be audited by anyone.

On the other hand, financial records are likely audited by a single "reputable" company, with all the information the customers have is a badge that says "the money is there, trust me bro" and nothing else. But hey, it's "reputable" source so it's ok to trust them, right? ...Until it turns out that whoops, the money wasn't actually there because someone got a fat paycheck to make a honest mistake, ahah...
That's a broad stroke. I could say the same thing about crypto exchanges, and even several coins themselves (i.e. can we at least go for a few months without another 'stable coin' fiasco?).

Whether you use PoW, PoS, or some other consensus algorithm, you will always have some necessary baseline of trust among people operating the network.

There are many symptoms of ADHD that I consider severe impairments - especially the short term memory loss.

However there are symptoms of it that I prefer over my state of my mind while medicated. The freedom of direction of thought is much more pleasant than the drive to focus intensely on one task - but is simply at odds with the world around me driven by productivity.

If you want to avoid them for health reasons, there are types of ceramic fiber that can be dissolved by the body (water + mild acid), but they will take slightly less heat, and you'd have to protect them from, obviously, water and acids.
