> So would basic PKI or a Merkle tree, but those would be orders of magnitude less expensive to operate and more robust.

Almost every argument I have on HN with blockchain skeptics boils down to the skeptic pointing out that if you unbundle blockchain component X, Y or Z to use it independently from the rest of the blockchain system, it would save money.

Yes, if you extract the PKI and Merkle tree out of the blockchain system, and operate them on your own, it may save you money in terms of infrastructure cost. But then you would have to figure out how to manage the PKI and the Merkle tree. A blockchain gives you both of those things, plus massive replication, high availability and audit-ability built right in, as well as well-defined and decentralized public interfaces that make it easy to interact with the system, and you don't need to manage any of it.

And what's more, the blockchain gives you a built-in way to pay for services rendered by diverse and decentralized set of service providers, without needing to engage with a middleman, or depend on any single service provider.

People complain all the time that AWS is too expensive, and that there are more economical alternatives providing comparable services—but there are still millions of people who are willing to pay Amazon for the convenience. How is that any different than paying a blockchain network for a similar convenience?

How to make data governance a team sport
Well, the egg is just an example. The actual definition is that the universe goes from a high-energy state to an equilibrium of distributed energy (like a gas spreads to take up its container space). This tendency for entropy to ever increase marks the arrow of time.

Think of it like a basic video playback algorithm, the time is the DELTA of change. Doesn't matter if you run it at 24fps of 144fps, the DELTA between frames is the time experienced not the playback speed. Makes sense?

> You do as your peers do, you live online. Where insanity is your mainstream cultural input.

Reductionist, but I follow. What is insanity, and who defines it? Prior to the modern day, homosexuality was insanity or illness.

> Where mental illness, a very serious issue, is seemingly rewarded for oppression points.

Outside of some very extreme circles, nobody is actually doing this seriously. Where are you even seeing this?

> Where you might question your gender, where before this very idea didn't even occur to you.

No, they just kept quiet about it. That’s the difference, and it seems many are not ready to face the complex nature of psyche.

> Where you're confused between body types, from anorexic to celebrating obesity.

Most people are reasonable enough to understand celebrating obesity and “health at every size” is a fringe, unscientific and extremist idea.

Once again, extreme communities. Not sure if you refer to incels, would love some clarification.

Hate and extremism was invented by the internet?

> The normalization of doxxing, snitching, gossiping and cancel culture as "conversation" tools. The sheer volume of it. The pointless status games.

I see nothing new here. It’s more accesible, yes, but public shame and gossip (!!!) has happened for millennia.

People can organize better and agendas can be pushed easily via the internet. But these voices are fringe and minority. Outside, in the real world — most people are reasonable and understanding.

Oh, and monocultures aren’t great.

Relying on the patient to gauge what is fair pricing & what is gouging, then haggle when they get the bill seems like trying to solve the problem from the wrong end. Free marketeers will say a fair price is what someone is willing to pay. Trying to make price decisions when your health is in the balance seems like it will lead to either poor decisions on price or on health.

These attempts at pricing transparency seem like another way to put blame on the patient for making "poor choices" when really the system needs to be less complex for the patient. Let auditors & regulators handle pricing and gouging, ideally within a single-payer/public option system.
If we can’t even find the bait…do we need to be fishing for other stuff haha? The ocean food web can’t be right.
Not a mathematician, but can't you parameterize e.g. the natural numbers by its largest element, then write whatever you want to do with the set and put lim n->inf around it? That way, you keep the objects finite, but you still allow them to become arbitrarily large.
> "IT professionals" who believe they can secure their company by blocking WebSockets haven't retired yet.

There are some experienced people in the field who are just encyclopedias. And they keep on growing. And they leverage their knowledge to build great systems.

Then there are the people as described in the quote. Refusing to budge. Refusing to adopt modern technology. The same kind of people that don't allow outbound traffic on ports above 3000 (arbitrary number). So now I have to fight to be able to access my AWS instance which deploys docker containers for testing. Or I want to test WebSockets, which are blocked. Or QUIC. No. New. Is bad.

The same kind of security people who block Google Chrome's password manager because of some security issue in Cisco. No clue how that relates, but the idea that you're blocking a password manager to make things MORE secure just shows how disconnected these people are.

Either they are so senior and a bunch of trustees or they are too green and are hired as security people with 0 in-the-field experience.

Before I forget, these are the same kind of people who thought it was a good idea to sniff all of the GitHub traffic. Which works on our company laptops, as that has the root certificate installed. But all of your Docker containers suddenly fail to connect to GitHub because of a certificate error.

If the current economy wasn't going downhill I'd jump ship.
This ^.

I seems common for people to try to have CMake run Python scripts, install stuff on the system, and do all sorts of custom tasks. I'm sure other build systems also allow devs to make a mess if they want to. Maybe some are less powerful, so that people cannot make such a mess even if they want to. But "the tool is too powerful, I will shoot myself in the foot because I don't want to learn the basics" does not sound like a good argument to me.

Right- it’s almost always the regular 4 things.

When they’re a young teenager, and they’re trying to kill themselves, and you have to lock up all the sharp objects, including the knives you cook with every day, constantly watch them, which means working from home before everyone was doing that, keep them out of school because the school isn’t committed to keeping an eye on suicidal people, yet still informs you that they will call the authorities if you continue to keep them out of school, AND you’re also keeping them from being institutionalized, because that’s how the system is if you don’t do all this yourself to protect your children while they are in this window of time where you could lose them.

I wouldn’t say babies are the worst. They are simple beings.

> You cannot ignore the group that didn't answer the questionnaire, as they will most likely expose some of the behavior that you are researching (i.e. about life etc), and might have a huge impact on your results.

This is completely paradoxical.

You are saying that using the data from the 90 would be jumping to conclusion because you would probably ignore data that would not match those 90.

But making this claim IS jumping to conclusions, because you are making an assumption (the 30 have something in common explaining why they didn't fill the form).

You're completely right, but I also want to caution (you mention this too) readers that Graeber himself has a strong perspective. When evaluating historical narratives, it's essential to dig into sources closer to primary sources when possible. There's too much at stake for most modern states for there not to be controversy.

This sort of tension exists for foundational histories in many, many cultures. South Asia's existing religious tension motivates people to evaluate and reevaluate historical events trying to show one or another religiously-aligned power as good or bad. Western history probably has it the least because it's well-preserved, well-studied, and has many copies of primary sources lying around which allows lots of people to cast critical eyes upon an analysis.

Yes it is. The other examples you list have different etiologies and present differently. The people doing them are different, and so is the medium. The cause may be different, and so may the outcome. Anyway, we don't just stop thinking about new things because they can be analogized to existing things.

What's the financial imperative to having a high score on SO?

Better job offers because you have high rep?
Two fallacies:

1. The non-responders are not responding for similar reasons.

2. Those reasons are somehow related to their opinions.

Both are clearly false. You cannot assume anything about their opinions from the fact that they didn't respond. All you have is their (non)action - which could have been caused by being ill, busy, distracted by personal issues, absent, drunk, or for any other number of reasons.

None of the answers are correct. If you wanted representative data you would have to:

1. Confirm with a different sample but also...

2. Use multiple different channels and methods (phone, in-person survey on campus, maybe an email survey with some kind of benefit to encourage participation, etc) to try to eliminate the non-responders who have personally valid but statistically irrelevant reasons (away, ill, etc).
I have heard great things about the “scratch” programming, language, though it was 10 years ago.
I think it's a really interesting question, but more towards: Will people stop having real relationships? The 2013 Spike Jonze film "Her" explores this a bit.

Relationships are tough because neither person is perfect. So when you have a perfect partner who says all the right things, based on a unique supermodel image, and who will never argue with you... will people just find it easier to do that?

Will the world massively depopulate because we all have fictitious dream partners?

At the end of the universe, when entropy can increase no more, and there is no more possible change to occur, there is no time. The video (universe) stays paused at its final frame.
Like the beginning of the universe, before the big bang, the video (universe) was paused on its first frame.

One could say "I spent, 1 hour looking at this still picture", but from the picture's perspective no time was spent, because the time in the world of the video is the delta between its frames, like the time in our world is expressed through increased entropy.

Inquiring time before or after the universe is like asking the question "what is the duration of this jpeg image?"

A side effect of this is that almost all job position advertisement are disgusting to look at. They are all about this kind of mindless glue code programming, but wrapped in marketing speak to make it look like "you get to use awesome bleeding edge latest technologies" when in reality it is "you have to figure out how to configure 10 different things to work together to sort of kind of produce the intended behavior".

In the last 3 years I think I never saw even once a job description on any popular job board where they advertise that you will do some actually interesting programming. The only ones I've seen have been on Twitter but from companies doing things in areas I have no experience in (e.g. game engine programming).

The times we live in are absolutely brutal for people who struggle with diversity of belief (wherever they are on the sociopolitical spectrum). Never before has an individual had so many perspectives to contend with at once. It breaks a lot of people in different ways, although I think people who can navigate the noise without losing their sense of self are better for the experience.

Still, it's impossible to deny the negative impact it has on people who can't handle the vastness of opinion, and many of them turn to the comforting simplicity of reactionary extremism to cope.

To some degree Chesterton's fence applies here: if you don't know why a fence was put up, don't demolish it until you find out.

Many taboos and instincts have their roots in completely outdated utility - racism and sexism both used to serve evolutionary purposes, but stuck around LONG after they became useless.

Other taboos and traditions are still useful for society today, but are somewhat under attack - like the taboo on divorce/single parenthood. Studies show that children of divorced parents have much worse outcomes than children of parents who are still together, controlling for most variables.

I think there is a large chunk of society that is afraid we are throwing the baby out with the bathwater, so they think it's better to keep the bathwater...

> Investing in typical stocks doesn't directly fund anything, you buy the stock from some other private party. No funds go to the company itself.

Of course it does, buying a company's stock raises it's value, making it easier for a company to raise money by issuing more stocks instead of financing itself through taking on debt.

> If you believe you can predict stock market returns from demographics you should form a hedge fund.

Believing that the market is impacted by demographics does not really give you an alpha to use when investing, slower growth in the next ~30 years is just a trend.
The behavior that the non-responders are exposing is that they don't like answering surveys. Factor that in how you will, but if you beg/incent/demand that they answer, you are no more likely to get honest answers.

My sister is like this.

I was in California for business a few years back, and she was visiting her best friend from high school in SFO.

So we all met up. My sister was all of a sudden talking in a sort-of valley girl accent. She said she just talked that way in California and had no idea why. At that time she was 34, but was visiting CA once or twice a year for the prior 10 years or so.
