What people really want when they says "free markets" are competitive markets first, and free markets second. If we have freedom at the expense of competition, we'll end up with neither.

The most "free" markets are not the ones with the least regulation, as some might presume, but the ones with just right amount of regulation.
Would it make sense to put those transactions into something like git or does a conventional database sound more appropriate?

Why do internet companies not use blockchains like git for all their transactions and instead use some form of database?

And git doesn't prevent software developers from pushing bad/hostile code/data into their repos. A blockchain wouldn't prevent financial institutions from publishing incorrect/fraudulent transactions into the blockchain.

What you theoretically gain out of a public blockchain is just that it is permanent and public. You could try to pass laws to require permanent and public access to a companies books instead and be technology agnostic. This law would be highly unlikely to ever pass. But you don't need a blockchain to do it.

And if it isn't public and immutable then the company can change the ledger whenever they like and throw away the old chain and commit fraud, there's nothing magical about the word "blockchain" which prevents that. It is the public nature of it which makes it immutable. If you want to make it private and immutable a normal database with a public, published cryptographic hash of the entire contents published at intervals would make that possible. What you need then is an append-only database where incorrect prior data is fixed not by throwing away the bad data, but by publishing new records which update the old data, and then a way of publicly validating that the old data hasn't been tampered with. That can actually be solved without blockchain. It definitely can be solved without public blockchain, you just the company to periodically "publish" its bookkeeping hashes to an agency (or the public) that tracks them.

That doesn't fix fraud, though, those records could all be bullshit the first time they're entered. Just makes it harder to go back and commit fraud. And if the company never opens it books and is never audited then none of it really matters, blockchain or not it just becomes a private diary of lies.

As a postdoc in physics, Feynman barely holds any authority when it comes to physics subjects, let alone on psychoanalysis. You seem like the kind of person who is very susceptible to science misinformation. Too deferent to experts in a way that you don’t understand. It seems like you have switched your critical thinking off and are incredulous that others have not followed your example. Your lack of ability to even slightly justify your argument, instead going off on strange tangents about Nobel prizes is proof of this

> They just hear this dude shooting and he comes out of the porch with his finger on the trigger and the gun at a low ready position

So if there is some shooting going on, the police are somehow justified in shooting everyone that has a gun? If this is the case, why can't they just shoot each other first and save society from their incompetence?

> Charging them with murder would be insane.

Uh, second degree murder is exactly what they did.

In this country, the government is supposed to be subservient to the People - police officers should have more legal scrutiny of their behavior than the average citizen, not less. Reread this story, replacing "police officer" with "private citizen". A private citizen shows up to the home of someone and shoots them, then claims justification because the victim was merely holding a gun? That's second degree murder. Doubly so in Texas.
Yeah. There should only be a few distributors. They should be something like a common carrier. Why should AMC, et al. duplicate streaming infrastructure? Focus on content and let someone else deliver it.
> I think if layout mattered as much as you imply, scientists would have to use a too that offers more control like indesign.

Yes, precisely that. As a scientist I don't even want to have to deal with layout. That's what publishers are paid extremely well for. When I self-publish content I want the process to be as simple as possible. If this means ragged margins, browser-default styles for headings etc., default colors and fonts — so be it.

(but to be fair, optimising the layout is an excellent way to procrastinate on doing hard research)

There is no reason you can't mix the cryptological security of the Bitcoin Blockchain without the proof of work part.

If I (a trusted third party) maintained a giant public database that anybody could append to, it would be trivial to release checksums or hash values at specific intervals to prove that nothing in the past was altered.
The article addresses this head on. Even though those users once consented to share data “It’s not expected that human beings are going to be reviewing the raw footage.”

The meat of the article is that what technology and tech companies are doing is divorced from the expectations that we have as a society.

It couldn’t have been done from any roomba, but it could happen to almost everyone who didn’t understand the exact ramifications (which we click through several of every year to try to get the vacuum up and running). That’s why a lot of ppl on HN put masking tape over their laptop webcam. Or are you calling those people paranoid?
In the US I think it actually comes from a factory work mindset where everyone does the same kind of thing and learns the same way. The system is at least 50 years behind but in my experience I think teachers are much more attuned to the present.

Yes, labels and artists get a bigger cut of the subscription cost from Tidal. And before the buy-out by Square last year, Tidal's parent company was majority-owned by Jay-Z and had lots of buy-in from music industry insiders.

Adding middlemen increases the supply of middlemen, and hence puts pressure on the price of middlemen.

Disney can charge $15 to an individual, or $15 to a middleman, it makes no difference to them. It is just a waste of society’s resources.

Reducing copyright length so old Disney stuff enters the public domain quicker would increase supply and drive down price for the media.
Do not overlook serendipity (the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.)

My entire life 20 years ago was changed by a dance class to get more social activity absent from a breakup. Therapy, spiritual counsel, exercise, diet, rest, nature, purpose, social network, death of loved ones, illness, blah, blah blah all may have had their place, but it was only circumstance that I truly believe that mattered looking back 50 years on.

Life is precious and easy to take for granted. And yet there is every opportunity to find meaning. Perhaps that is the way it works, take time for yourself, be open to what comes: all the suffering and joy that is here.

Peace be with you
Also organized religion. After preparing sermons to give on Sunday, the church's pastor served as a therapist and did couples counseling for their local community. It's only recently that outside avenues have come to be formalized an relied upon in this way.
You're barking up the wrong tree here, guy. I don't care about the politics or whether it's right or wrong, I'm just telling you, they're not gonna indict Trump based on this House committee report. If the DoJ is investigating it as well, that's fine, but this report will be completely ignored outside the media just like all the other partisan congressional reports. If you feel so strongly about this, then go write a letter to the DoJ or something.

That's for navigation. You want to be able to tell it to 'clean the living room', it needs to know what the living room is(or some of the landmarks). The robots are low on the ground, so tilting the camera up helps.

That's not the only approach though. You can look forward (or just use lidar), but this navigation approach seems to be less sensitive to, say, furniture been moved around.

AMC+, which costs $8.99 a month for a subscription, does not run ads.

How many of these are there going to be? I don’t want a $200 cable bill but I also don’t want dozens of subscriptions. I’ll subscribe to a few streaming services (eg Disney+ which my daughter watches) but outside of that I just don’t care. I also don’t have the time for stuff on the fringe.

I will join you in your unpopular opinion. People have become so entitled that they can't appreciate the value they have in their hands today.

Services like Twitter, Insta, FB, the like are in many ways incredible. We've forgotten all about that, but let's explore...

They're pretty much always available. They scale endlessly without you noticing. They are fast. They have apps on every touch point. They preserve your content pretty much forever, and this content exponentially grows. They have armies of people as well as advanced AI to filter out the most horrible of human depravities, so that you don't get to see it.

And for all of this, you don't pay a single penny. Yes, you'll get a few ads. You can even block those. An incredible amount of value offered, for near-zero costs.

> They show video footage

Video footage can tell you that some small group of people did some particular things at some particular time and place.

Video footage cannot tell you what isn't on the video. Which is the vast majority of what the vast majority of actual Americans do with their time every day. Which does not look at all like your media-inspired, uniformed caricature.

> This whole the media is lying wasn't such a thing before Trump.

Excuse me? The media has always lied. The evidence for that is overwhelming for anyone who actually cares to look.

Decades ago, we had no way of knowing about the extent of lies being told to us by the media (and by our politicians, for that matter) at the time they were told to us, because we had no other sources of information. Now we do. We can spot the lies told to us by all of our so-called "trusted" sources, just as they can spot lies told to us by Trump. There are no genuinely trustworthy sources of information. I agree that sucks, but it's the fact, and trying to ignore it or sugar coat it just makes it worse.

I had a midlife crisis in my 40's. My career was going nowhere, I was trapped in a job I hated. I felt I was wasting my life.

What kept me going was the sense of obligation I had to others who depend on me. If you have nothing or no one to whom you owe service, then you can change that. Find a partner, or volunteer yourself for charitable work. By helping others, you also help yourself.

I made a point of enjoying the little things in life. Exercise. Walk in the sun. Go fishing. Grow tomatoes. Buy a friend a drink. Whatever, just sneak the little pleasures when you can.

I set some goals. Not boring goals like to make money, goals to achieve something meaningful, that engaged my interests and (modest) abilities.

Things got better. My 50's and 60's were some of the most rewarding years of my life. (I'm 69 now). I achieved some things I'd never thought I could achieve, just by pluggin' away.

Life is hard. John Stuart Mill wrote that most people have a limited capacity for happiness. I think that is true. But the strange thing is that by relieving yourself of the obligation to feel happy, sometimes it happens anyway.

> People should be able to augment basic services however they wish, to they extent they can afford.

Here's the problem with such schemes. Often both the providers and the customers of "augmenting services" will have an incentive to hollow out the state-provided service until it's substandard.

For instance, let's say the government provides "basic" health insurance but allows private plans. Then the providers of private plans will lobby the government to keep the "basic" service as low-quality as possible, so that people are incentivized to buy the private plans. Furthermore, those who purchase private plans will not personally benefit much from the state-provided scheme, so they will have little interest in its success and little desire to subsidize it.

In the worst case, the result is that the state-run service becomes permanently low-quality. Then people attribute this to public-sector inefficiency and say that "obviously" the free market would do a better job. Then the state-provided service gets abolished when it never had a chance to succeed.
Ah, just posted the same before I did a search. :D

I hope you’ll get a better answer, but a minimal solution is to use snscrape (https://github.com/JustAnotherArchivist/snscrape) to download a raw JSON dump of a user timeline. Some caveats: 1. This doesn’t work for all users (e.g. some accounts seem to remain deindexed after unsuspensions). 2. While you can get rid of 90% of the file size by removing fluff columns (e.g. related to processing media and emojis), keep a backup. When importing such JSON, I unwittingly did a lossy data type conversion, and it can be irreparable once the tweets are deleted.

I've got a couple projects like this, that mostly just create bundles of other source projects that I'm not involved with. Creating a windows installer, or docker image for projects that don't have that integrated. It's kind of annoying that they will stop in several weeks when there's no project changes.
There is no possible way they could prove anything about this in a form adequate for a short article. You either trust that the writers are responsible journalists representing the truth of the matter to the best of their ability or you don't.

That goes for the device manufacturer as well. They couldn't possibly prove the fidelity of their statements except on a witness stand under the penalty of perjury. So unless you think they are conducting the type of conspiracy that could see some of them sent to prison, we might just have to trust that they don't defraud the public on a regular basis.

I recently discovered this python interface for tikz https://github.com/allefeld/pytikz

While it does not directly address the issues you point at, it does alleviate some issues.

* The syntax is somewhat easier to parse.

* It is a lot easier to write functions to redraw the same components over and over again.

* Doing math calculations to systemically place objects in relation to each other is a lot easier because python's arithmetic syntax is a lot more intuitive than TeX's.

Of course, this does mean that you have to fire up python to draw figures.
> Proof of stake blockchains operate on the basis of more dollars = more votes, for this to be true for proof of work blockchains one would first need to spend that capital for mining equipment.

Just to clarify - this really depends on which chains you are talking about. Some proof of stake chains implement direct on chain governance, in which stake does directly translate into explicit voting power to implement policy changes. Polkadot in particular does this. But Ethereum, does not have anything resembling on-chain governance. Ethereum validators have no more say in what makes for valid ethereum blocks then what proof of work miners had to say. The folks that really matter is everyone running non-validating nodes and the people who choose to interact with those nodes for their transactions or inspecting the chain history.
Terry Crews had a clip where he talks about the exercise habit, and how he (not sure if he did this or suggested this) would go to the gym for the time he allotted for exercise each day, even when he didn’t want to. And if he didn’t want to work out, he’d read a book in the locker room or walk at 1mph. A friend of mine did this, and eventually built an exercise habit out of it because, “why not, I’m already here?”. Obviously if funds or facilities aren’t there you could just change into exercise gear and go to a park to sit. Eventually you’ll move.

So OP, give yourself protected time and protect it.
Well exactly, had these single parents bought Bitcoin or Ethereum years ago they wouldn't be struggling now.

One doesn't need to run a node to use the system but it is accessible to everyone, just as the code is there to be scrutinized publicly.

The entire point was to reform currency where economic policy is more predictable and the currency less susceptible to kleptocracy.

Interestingly enough the inflation rate of both Bitcoin and Ethereum is now lower than that of major world currencies. So while volatility still needs to trend lower for day to day usage, the case for a store of value has already been established in the past decade and anyone can see the price history and number of wallets increasing exponentially.
Definitely... It seems to be in 4-6 week timeframe... I'd thought about making the cron update references in the repo, but hadn't gone through that as of yet.

It's cool that Pants has enough community to evolve beyond being a Twitter-led project. It seems Twitter itself migrated from Pants to Bazel, and no longer works on Pants: https://groups.google.com/g/pants-devel/c/PHVIbVDLhx8/m/LpSK...

I find it hard to buy into one of these "mega build system" ecosystems because there are so many competing tools that descend from Blaze: Bazel, Pants, Buck, Buck2, etc. The migration path to these systems takes substantial effort, so I wouldn't want to bet on the wrong one and have to do it all again a few years later. I'm content to wait patiently for Bazel or Buck2 to clearly win before I invest.
