AdrianEGraphene··on Blockchain, the Solution for Almost Nothing
Tell me, what is the value of Java, Python, Javascript, or HTML?

When you start looking at cryptocurrencies as code, valuation becomes meaninglessness.

AdrianEGraphene··on Noise, Cognitive Function, and Worker Productivity [pdf]
Between psytrance and something like Nhar [1], I find myself much more productive with the latter.

However, that may be because I've burned up my psytrance reserves over the past few years.

AdrianEGraphene··on Ask HN: Why aren't cell carriers liable for spam calls?
Let's just assume you've described the perfect solution.

Now, how do you make it actually happen?

What steps can you take to go beyond making theoretical comments on a online forum, to having a working experimental version handling calls on my Android phone?

AdrianEGraphene··on Ask HN: Why aren't cell carriers liable for spam calls?
The US infrastructure is partially made of copper. It would be very expensive (but doable) to change that.

Laws, carriers, whatever. Doesn't make a difference, we still have no say over enacting your suggestions. We can sit here and theorize all day about what may work, but if you cannot implement or test your solutions in the real world, what's the point?

That's why I suggested coming up with solutions that do not require the participation of large entities. Although I am HIGHLY biased, since I'm working on a peer to peer solution.

AdrianEGraphene··on Ask HN: Why aren't cell carriers liable for spam calls?
sadly, it is not that simple to determine who is a "good network". Every carrier lets fiber route into copper.

Your logic would work, but it is a lot of work for many entities to perform. The simple fact is that neither you nor I can control what the carriers choose to do.

You'd have to design a network from the bottom up if you wanted to enact these kinds of changes.

You're clearly interested in solving this spam problem and I admire the thought you've put into it. I'd advise that you focus on solutions that can be scaled more simply. If you think of all of the "spam calls" that happen, you'd come to the conclusion that your traceroute would happen 10s of billions of times a year.

My advice is to think of ways that don't require the cooperation of multiple entities.

AdrianEGraphene··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (March 2020)
Yes, I was surprised at the amount of personal info people were leaving in these resumes. An email would be the latest personal I'd want to get (as someone looking for work).

Sad to hear you got scraped.

AdrianEGraphene··on Ask HN: Why aren't cell carriers liable for spam calls?
Spammers make many fiber to copper to fiber connections. Every call essentially comes from a black box and every carrier is complicit.

So if you make a "last mile" fine, basically every carrier will be charged "evenly". This plan wouldn't have the incentive structure needed to change carrier behavior.

This video explains it nicely . [1]

Your buddy will be fine as long as he did not pierce the corporate veil. His company may go bankrupt, but he won't be personally liable.

The overall structure hasn't changed much, but STIR/SHAKEN is a core component of the TRACED act.
AdrianEGraphene··on Bill to crack down on robocalls passes Senate
Now you're thinking!

However, the financial layer needs to be set up before the call is initiated, not after.

Otherwise, it's ripe for abuse.

Also, making end-users perform extra actions is just BLEH!

Find someone who's already building a useful SaaS product that they're willing to take the responsibility for, and help them build it. If it fails, at least that person takes the brunt of the negative feedback?
