I think there was a general sense the three wise men included people not of the jewish tradition. So although islam came along a few generations later it was implicitly baked into the birth scene, the prequel story. Kinda.

> Bitcoin is a commodity, ETH & all of crypto is just (unregistered) securities lying/pretending to be commodities.

Here's the problem with this:

Bitcoin doesn't exist below a society - its not independent of a functioning system made up of economic agents. Wheat and salt will continue to exist without human action.

And you've got it backwards: securities are just government and institution approved tokens existing on a consensus network. Some of us believe this consensus network is corrupt and should be rebuilt into something a bit more open source.
So your argument is that you’re right and the state of West Virginia is wrong? All of a sudden the thing isn’t what it actually does because you disagree with whether it should?

> I would still class them under "powerful fools"

Cool, but your opinion of them is irrelevant. They get to decide what forms of ID they’ll take, and they’ve decided to take this one.

> you could just write your name on an index card and use that instead

Of course you couldn’t, the rule is very clear that you can identify yourself with specifically a social security card. You’re the one pretending. Your insistence that it’s not an ID will be small comfort when someone fakes yours and used it to identify themselves as you to steal your identity.

Again. The fact that it’s a terrible form of ID is my point. It being a bad ID doesn’t mean it’s not one.

Edit: I copy/pasted my point about W.Va from one thread to another. Both say, as the law does, that it identifies you. The mail ties the identified person to an address authorized for a license (i.e. an address in the state). It’s authn vs authz.

Humans do engage with backwards reasoning. But they are also capable of checking that the constructed justification does then imply the conclusion.

ChatGPT apparently is not doing this on the basis of these examples.

This is incorrect. The gold standard was abolished in the US because it was too hard for the US to control macroeconomic policy [1] (especially import/export rates) through gold. The US already had elaborate ways to manage reserves to help in keeping the dollar steady. It was also a matter of dwindling gold reserves for the US.

Whatever your thoughts are about the gold standard, it was not instability that did it in.

So what did this mean in layman
The fact that you don’t use yours doesn’t make the thing you lost not an ID. If you lose your house key and always go in through the garage, the key you lost is still a key.

It’s not do you, it’s can you.

Some quick googling said half a gallon of milk yields half a cup of butter so figure it’s 16:1 whole milk to butter, so that’s 4,000 gallons of milk not 250. A cow can produce 8 gallons of milk a day so we need 250 cows to support this butter production. The Google says 60–80 dairy cows to make a living so figure this represents three or four small dairy farms to support that production level.

Am I the only one who just cannot STAND MFA? Having to get a notification text etc. Like what if I don’t want to give an app capability to notify my phone? What if I want something totally NOT connected to my phone?

I just envision a future where there is some near-circular dependency of passwords/phrases/notifications/authenticators/keys/email verifications etc across different devices and services - the end result is that it is absolute PiTA to log into anything or recover any account if anything is ever lost. Sort of an endless personal bureaucracy for authentication. It’s a future I am personally trying to avoid at all costs

Yubikeys etc seem like something I could potentially get behind, but it still doesn’t seem perfect persay… anyway, maybe I am just a geezer
What value did any of this provide to the world? Just reads like a buzzword soup where finance bros find more and more obscure ways to leach money.

Nah, wind and solar are cheaper and safer and don't take as long. We can use the existing dams for dispatchable power though. As well as CSP of which the unsubsidized LCOE has recently hit parity with O&M of nuclear and is plummeting. Throw in some thermal storage as well, that's safe.
I've read a few of those and it's extreme copium. For example, many of them point out that the Bitcoin network can use renewable energy. Yeah sure, except for one problem: So can everything else. If Bitcoin uses some amount of renewable energy, that's less renewable energy to go around. This basically only matters in places that are powered entirely by renewables...

The most ridiculous point I've seen by far is the idea that actually, energy is not "wasted", because it's actually generating heat. It is true that computers are 100% efficient space heaters, but that's not the point.

The point is that if you scale the Bitcoin network up, it would put tremendous strain on the energy grid. That's not FUD at all!

You just need better training data. Your internal language model can't follow a non-linear argument or understand basic logic.
If power goes out when away the door stayed locked. Only if one has to leave their apartment when power is out does the door not lock. Same problem happens when coming home and the power is out, door wont open. Likewise not having access to phone leaves you out of your home.

This will most likely be sorted out for this use case but Im generally concerned with this rushed innovation, there’s no fallback to a basic method.

All the comments here are great, but how is it that in such an inspiring and intellectual community such as HN there are so few dreamers who actually have "big" goals (for some definition of "big")?

Keeping fit and learning some programming language are great goals, don't get me wrong, but in trying to think about my own goals for 2023 I can't help but thinking "really? Are these really my goals? Running 5k or whatever? When I'm on my deathbed, would I care that I achieved that goal?"

I wish I could come up with something more ambitious and memorable, and was hoping this thread would have some exciting ideas.

Then again, maybe dreamers prefer to remain silent and just work on their goals...

I wouldn't mind if most "smart" systems weren't utter crap.

I bought an electric keyboard a few months ago. Despite having no screen, and being otherwise a super simple electronic device, it still takes about 15 seconds to boot up and become playable after I turn it on.

My new computer monitor is a 48" OLED panel. It has some "smart adaptive dimming" to prevent burn-in where the monitor dims if it hasn't seen enough pixels change color in the last few minutes. It slowly dims while I'm actively sitting in front of my computer programming, and I need to wiggle bright window around the screen to get my monitor to turn back on properly. I filed a couple support requests to the manufacturer, and they confirmed the behaviour is impossible to disable.

Like bisecting code, you can bisect airflow with plastic (e.g. 6 mil polyethylene) sheeting. Move the VOC sensor between isolated zones, or use multiple VOC sensor logs to track dispersal time/direction, narrowing down potential sources.

> it seems to be worse if we have the aircon on

Central or window aircon? You could place a VOC sensor near the HVAC duct input.
An important question for me was how do you defeat massive energy density of desal. This is a great video to answer that. TLDR; Semi will need at least 4 tons of batteries. But this works out because it is still probably around just 10% of weight of the fully loaded truck. It occurs to me that economy degrades if you have to haul big but less heavy loads. Cost wise you still make profit as long as truck is loaded and electricity remains cheap. Overall, this would be good solution for short haul heavy load.
I'm learning programming and computer science. I made my own small bootcamp that I follow full time, linked [here] (https://github.com/woadray/cs-bootcamp) if interested.

I'm from a third world country, my goal is to find a remote software development job from here. Does not have to be FAANG level, cost of living is pretty low.

Would put my salary on bet that it is actually the primary goal of the change.

There is perfectly nothing wrong with traditional locks to be substituted with another crappy app, whose only goal is data farming.
Door locks for all unit doors (places people live) are all battery based with a fail over of being locked but only to the outside. If you're inside they all open like normal doors. It's extremely obvious months a head of time when the battery is dying and nearly all systems will report this to whatever the unlock system is.The exact system determines if you're simply turning a door handle or switching a dead bolt to leave. There's no possibility of someone sneaking in or you being locked in.

Common doors, like to a lobby or a gym can possibly fail to let you inside if there is a power failure but you will never be trapped inside. Those systems are almost always paired with a FOB so you aren't locked out and often times there's a guarantee of a property manager that is on call for emergencies.
You might be parsing the sentence incorrectly. I'd generally read it as:

> It includes {the [(collection), (recording), (organisation), (structuring), (storage), (adaptation or alteration), (retrieval), (consultation), (use), (disclosure by {[transmission], [dissemination] or [otherwise making available]}), (alignment or combination), (restriction), (erasure) or (destruction)] of personal data}.

So there is no "second section" of the sentence, just a long list. The text of the GDPR has the exact same list [0].

GameStop as a business hasn't made any profit in 4 years while their revenues consistently decline. It is a dying unprofitable business, worth the scrap assets that can be salvaged on the balance sheet, not it's current market cap of $7.8 BILLION. Anyone buying or holding $GME is being swindled, a la FTX and crypto scams, by people interested in making big $$ betting against a $200m business being worth $7.8 BILLION.

I'll bet you've never even had one look at their balance sheet or income statement, are just winging it from Reddit comments when it comes to financial evaluation, and that should tell anyone rational, including yourself hopefully, whether you're with the smart money on this position... If not, enjoy the new QAnon.

r/wsb completed it's transformation into r/the_donald of dumb finance echo chamber by the advent of GME. Truly, they will both be case studies of the anti-wisdom of crowds when it comes to current digital interfaces with a sprinkle of bot propaganda.
yeah, this is the part i keep thinking but haven’t seen anybody else saying.

the problem isn’t really that “he just needs to raise more money” to make the existing customers whole. it’s that he thinks he can raise more money from investors, and then give it to defrauded customers. what exactly would the “investors” get in this scenario?! A Ponzi ticket? ownership in FTX?

he still owes the money after that! it’s like he can’t think more than one step at a time or something. could be the root cause of his issues, i guess
> for some tv exec

Again, this is all very conjectural of you. This argument can be used to assert that a show with an attractive woman is on TV because the woman is attractive, and not because of other merits. It's demeaning.

That's not saying it isn't true. Like I said, there is solid evidence that "Dad factor" did influence the BBC.

But it demands something besides conjecture. Else we could conjecture that the BBC scheduled association football because the TV execs wanted to appeal to the repressed homoerotic feelings of its viewership.[1]

> Note that I've argued both sides of this w.r.t. the moog dancers and don't claim to have "the" answer.

"Argue" is what people do in a bull session. Give some evidence that one or the other has basis in reality.

My experience and understanding tells me that the decision to program this sort of act because of the "sexualising the women", in the "both points of view" you see IS NOT TRUE.

While people can and do sexualize just about anything (people have probably shipped Rumpole of the Bailey), what I see in these video shows no signs of deliberate titillation, and yet with many opportunities to do so. And I see many parts which are a turn-off, like the crowding out by the camera.

Further, unless this was part of a continuing series of sexualising acts, why would a tv exec care? It's not going to affect ratings.

While on the other hand, we do know modern dance and avante-garde performance exist, and some look like this of their own accord without attempts to sexualize, and we know variety acts of that era also included novelty performances for the oddity of it.

I needed that at the time and it truly changed me. I started looking for that to see if it was true and found it is. You still have to sift out the bullshit, and fair to say that's truer now than back then, but it's worth the effort to look for it.
