Ah, the good old "we often attribute our dog’s actions to feelings they’re not really having."

There's zero credible research to support that statement. However, it has been repeated to such an extent, that it is now taken as a given.

We don't know what dogs feel.

Let me repeat that: We don't know what dogs feel. No one really has the slightest idea. Nope. Not the slightest clue.

So why does it get repeated so much, you may ask?

Religion. That's why.
It works well with master data [1], i.e. semi-static data of limited volume that is widely needed throughout systems. Think physical store locations and such.

Services can either store it in their own database and still get an update stream, or services can read the complete set on boot and keep it in memory. It can avoid the need for RPC/REST calls so centralized services that keep track off this kind of data, preventing cascading failures if those fail.

That's interesting, I did some digging into Apple device communication and it turns out they have a protocol called CompanionLink that handles this exact circumstance - devices can communicate securely with each other and decide who is going to handle the Siri activation - HomePod's seem to get preference, then phones then laptops. I'm surprised Google hasn't done something similar.
Heat is dissipated when electricity goes unused too (usually by dumping it in some load resistor) so it’s possible the extra electricity is just generating heat, waiting to go to the processor. I’d lol if they have 5v coming in, and they’re stepping it down to 3.3v for the wake word processor (hence heat) while the main processor runs at 5v.

> which works with the same swiping gimmick...

Thus the same inherent flaw of non-representative profiles and pictures, to give false impressions or present a false image that can be used to trick others.

Things on peoples profile can not actually be confirmed, to include pictures and real life appearance not matching up. They can say they are a banker or a professional dancer, but are actually unemployed or have never done what they claim. So the beliefs people have, when going on the date, can still be based on deception.

The persons engaging in deception, only has to maintain the facade for a while, to hook the other person into a relationship. Not saying that such can be eliminated, because that's life, but rather no app can ever be foolproof. People, for whatever their reasons, will find flaws in it.

> ...but the the twist is that once you have a match you HAVE to go on a date. You have to enter your availability, pay 5 euro and if you don't show up on your date you get perma-banned for life.

This is a significant advantage of the app and community, which is cutting down on pranksters and time wasters. Thus would of course lead to a much higher success rate to Tinder and similar apps.

And about Tinder... Tinder of today, was much different than when it initially came out.

Many people don't realize that Tinder back then was quite Grindr-like (who they were copying), but mainly heterosexual, and heavily meet or "sexual encounter based", whichever you prefer. The culture and thinking was different. People showed up, because it could be a stealthy way to go have fun.

When Tinder tried to distance itself from the "meet up and encounters" perception and concerns, that opened the door to way more pranksters, attention seeking only, and time wasters. There was a shift in culture and who was using the app.

The Tinder of today has arguably become less focused on people meeting, but instead making Tinder as much money as possible and riding out to the last on its old reputation (of being Grindr-like), and usually at the expense of guys. Swiping left or right, by itself, is almost like any downloaded game.
None of that is weird for a high speed train.

[1] is used in Britain, but it's a Japanese (Hitachi) design. The very front of the train (see the bottom section "Liveries") shows the front half of the first unit has blanked-out windows. That's where there's room for a couple of bicycles, a drinks trolley, etc. Obviously including this space has reduced the total number of seats.

If you want to take a bicycle you must reserve the space, and you're expected to be waiting at the correct end of the train so you can board quickly.

Hm, you could argue that the Tetris app is not designed with casino-like blinking/vibrant colors/success sounds to induce endorphine rushes. Also Tetris is relatively fair and does not have pay-to-win schemes (notice how that unbeatable Candy Crush roadblock level suddenly becomes easy after you have swiped your card again).
It shows how easy it is to fool this cryptographic 'proof' of solvency. I think most people would regard this is a failure.
I'd lean more on the side of calling it a Ponzi, but I think in either case it'll only be clear in retrospect.

It'll either:

1) Stagnate. You'll need to wait a really long time for answer.

2) Crash or trend to zero. This would mean momentum is exhausted and money is leaving the table - it's always been a Ponzi in this case.

3) Continue until it finds a utility or it genuinely becomes a store of value. I doubt this outcome very much (I actually think it's impossible due to inherent features of bitcoin), but what do I know? I'm just one person on the internet. Not a Ponzi in this case.

> Blockchains only ensure that coins are never spent twice. They make no attempts to ensure that coins are sent to the correct recipients. At the end of the block, they only care that debits are equal to credits.

I know the origin is tightly linked to bitcoin, but I feel like even this muddies the definition.

Blockchains are not implicitly related to "coins", more facts? contracts? Maybe that's a useless nit to pick, or only useful in this thread where the GP was trying to layout where blockchains are useful (eg: distributed facts - that happen to often be wealth transfer).

Or do I have it all wrong? I admit to not having much experience with them, but from the few random (non-btc) meet up groups talks I saw a decade ago, it was all about consensus more than anything. Ironically before the current NFT craze, the talk I remember most was one about using NFTs to authenticate stuff like (non-programatically-generated) album/artwork ownership and allowing users to resell in a second hand digital market.

I assume you could build a mastodon like that distributes and "authenticates" posts via a blockchain - perhaps with terrible performance though.

So the "4G" stands for 4 gigabytes... that's funny, as at that time (early nineties) I bet no one could even imagine a humble PC having 4 GB of memory. That was the domain of supercomputers. And nowadays, even smartphones have more RAM than that...

Also, "Fun fact: The original Wolfenstein 3D engine, created by id Software, was developed using pure real mode". Well, that figures... if you still wanted your code to run on 16 bit CPUs (286 and below), you had to use real mode. That's also why, for several years, only the then-"AAA" games like Doom, Duke Nukem 3D or Tomb Raider used DOS extenders. Titles that were less demanding on the hardware (platformers and other 2D games) kept using real mode for quite some time longer.

Actually, I can add a fun fact of my own: when I started in software development in 2000, it was at a company developing Windows applications using Delphi - and at that time they were still keeping up compatibility with Windows 3.1, i.e. compiling in 16 bit mode. They finally switched to 32 bit soon after I joined, and I can't tell you what a relief that was. Although getting rid of the weird hacks in the source code that were made necessary by the constrained memory space of 16 bit applications took some more time...
I'm old enough to remember the TV detector vans.

(I lived on the Isle of Man for a while, and the local newspaper would be alerted by the ferrymen when the van was shipped over, and run a warning for everyone to turn their TVs off for a few days).

It's only easier to evade now because flat-screen TVs don't emit radio signals they can detect from the street.

If enough people opt out then they'll do what they do in Germany: everyone pays it regardless of whether you have a TV or not.

This article conflates the abundance of terrible software with the near absence of great software. The abundance of terrible software can easily be explained by the the growth of the sector which attracted many mediocre software engineers who just wanted a paycheck.

But why is good software nowhere to be found? There have never been more talented software engineers who are willing to work hard and want to write great software.

My best answer: systematic market failure. Good, reliable, carefully written software doesn't win. The best illustration I can think of is VSCode vs Sublime. Sublime Text is -- by any reasonable metric -- a great product. VSCode is slow and very buggy... but it's free and it has a plugin ecosystem that can't be beat. How can you compete with that? You can't. That's the quality problem in a nutshell.

I can only speak for MTG Arena. Been playing it 100% for free since a bit before DMU came out. I play pretty much the number of games that give me stuff, often 4 wins/day because I don't have time to play more.

Mythic in Standard is possible (played cheap monoblue last season to diamond 1, mono black now almost mythic) and having some fun drafting. 0% need to invest any money. Obvioulsy I won't have all the stuff but that's fine. I'm ok with identifying one deck I like to play for standard and then just drafting until coins/gems run out (ideally never because the winrate is good enough). I also don't care at all about cosmetics and was happy to see there's even an option to turn them sort of off (hide alternate card styles). I still got quite a lot of free cosmetics as well.

It is however interesting that they do have a pretty good value "first buy" option. I was always curious if it is priced so cheaply to get people from a "I'm a free player mindset" to...well payed once, might as well buy more now (+the friction of setting up payment is gone).

I'm an avid board gamer and I can say very confidently that I would never get into any paper based CCG because the pricing/collection is just ridiculous to me. If it wasn't for the free to play online veryion, I wouldn't play magic (I did buy some of the stuff back in the college days but quickly realized what a money sink this would be). I do/did collected some LCGs and still rank Android Netrunner as one of the best gaming experiences in my life.

> Number of mining pools - power to hard fork the network

Miners can hard fork but if the economical agents (exchanges, users) don't follow that won't get them anywhere. Their fork will just become an alternative coin and they won't be able to sell their mined coins, or at a lower price. It happened in 2017 with Bitcoin Cash.

> Number of people making decisions - power to hard fork at will, change protocol properties etc.

Same here: if the economical actors don't follow these people would just create a new altcoin.

And these economical actors seem much more decentralized than the people you mention.
> What about predictable money supply?

It's clear that current cryptocurrencies are absolutely not solving that problem either. There's a fact if you like facts, consult the Bitcoin price.

> Trustless custody

Not clear to me that people outside the crypto bubble want this; people want trusted counterparties, not trustless obfuscated counterparties. It is IMO a solution looking for a problem.

I'd be a lot more sympathetic to this space if wasn't full of grifters and fraud. As it is I think the crypto experiment has irreversibly been tainted by that association (and by people losing lots of money), and I would not trust a 'trustless' solution from any of the current crypto companies or individuals.

> how to restore keys when they lose them or they are stolen

This is a v. hard problem, why make it 100x harder by insisting on decentralising the solution? And then 1000x harder by insisting on anonymity? Those may be properties of your chosen solution, which is I suspect why you're insisting they are necessary, but they are a bad design IMO - these are the fundamental design flaws of current cryptocurrencies.

Normal people don't keep backup keys on a second device etc etc, web of trust is a very old idea which has been tried quite a few times (see pgp for example, keybase for another corporate one), and you need a way for a normal person to prove they are who they say they are and regain access via courts or a central authority, take over inherited accounts etc. At some point these systems have to interface with the real world and real world authorities and laws/courts.

Just to propose alternative solutions to safely storing cryptographic keys (note those are useful for all sorts of things and unrelated to cryptocurrencies):

Corporations like Apple, Google could provide such a service, as they already own most of the infrastructure. There are obvious and significant downsides to this.

Enlightened governments could propose such an infrastructure of identity verification and private keys, there are obviously problems with that too, but it could be workable if you trust your government.

Utopian techno-geeks could also provide such an infrastructure, but somebody has to pay for it, and people fundamentally have to trust the people who create and run the system - that's a hard problem without financial incentives for the devs/maintainers. One example of an existing system is DNS and another is certificate authorities - both are not great but do work in the real world for their intended purpose.

I do believe at some point we'll come to solve this problem of digital identity and authentication because it is so fundamental, both for humans and corporate entities. I'm not sure we'll like the solution which ends up winning, and I certainly don't think cryptocurrencies are a contender.
So is Google.

You make good points, this by itself is not sufficient. That doesn't mean it's not useful, though. For Centralized Exchange you need additional regulation to ensure that level of customer protection. And yet, regulation itself is not enough, as you can still defraud in a regulated entity. You need that the weight of criminal punishment is hard enough to disincentivize it. And you possibly need insurance (FDIC and equivalents) too.

Hence why proponents argue to do things on-chain, where we have built-in guarantees and this issue disappears entirely.
Can we design an append-only database that also allows for deletions if you replace those deletions with a direct reference to the hash that was once computed at that point in the chain?

Yes, I know this isn’t strictly “append only”, but it still gives the ability to prevent silent updates and silent deletes. Any record that’s deleted must be replaced with something that indicates that it was deleted.

Who is supposed to be such an advertiser and such an advertisee?
I visited places like Cieszyn, Katowice and Sosnowiec when I was a kid, and anything beyond the most basic things had to be bought on the black market.

You could have bread and milk in the official grocery stores, as long as you were willing to rise early and stand in queue. By 10 am, already sold out.

Buying meat, IIRC, was already somewhat of a challenge. The authorities tried to "re-educate" people towards canned fish.

But the black markets were huge. Impressively huge. You could buy a lot of stuff there, plus sometimes peddlers went door-to-door selling stuff from their backpacks.
It effectively does, and collects telemetry. There's also Stripe Radar, however when I was working in fraud for a large e-commerce company we found Stripe Radar to be a very poor product in stopping fraudulent transactions.

There are many competitors in this field and the companies that do this for a living operate a much better service than Stripe. Some of them will even fully refund false negatives if they are later disputed.

I was involved in cutting Stripe Radar and moving to one of their competitors.

Unfortunately, as a small business, you are a target for "carders" and other criminal figures.

> But at least all the customer assets are there and segregated from the business assets and you cannot use them as the piggy bank for your business.

Why would they be segregated? The priority of creditors in a bankruptcy proceeding is controlled by courts that will order assets handed over to senior creditors whether they are holding "on chain" liabilities or not. It is the disclosure of such a contract that is the problem of understanding all liabilities, both on and off chain, as bankruptcy court doesn't care about the distinction.
