I'm suprised that Gitcoin was not mentioned, they have dealt with sybil attacks and have processes to try and detect it.

I came across a forum thread for Baja California, where thay have and discuss off-grid air conditioning in a very hot area of Mexico. Interesting discussion.

When is this information first release?

I was watching the Fed Reserve Youtube feed and expected the announcement there, but my phone streamed a Yahoo Finance feed discussing the announced 0.75% rate hike.

I wonder how the newer hashes, like Reinforced Concrete, that are used in Zero-Knowledge applications compare to SHA-256.

I mean can Reinforced Concrete replace SHA-256, as the primary hash, in a blockchain?

I noticed that public ipfs is used to host image files for NFTs. NFT marketplace websites serve the images quickly enough.

I wonder how perkeep would perform in that situation.

The massive pace of blockchain technology, applications of math, innovation, and open experimentation is great to see.

Don't try to stifle innovation because users are finding ways to interact that are simple, or you think its not decentralized enough. There is great work being done beneath the surface applications you are complaining about - by respected researchers.

Cheers

I wonder if using tailscale and yubikeys with Workspace is a configuration that would provide security, if possible.

That's nothing. I hear they're inventing a blockchain that can lose $300 billion in one second.

The biggest problem I have with CGI is that the speed of motion does not match what is physically possible - especially in superhero movies. It's like the motion you get when watching "Family Guy" stunts.

One interesting comparison, I would like to read about, would be between "Blade Runner" and "Blade Runner 2049". The original used models and moved cameras around the models for effect, whereas the sequel, I'm sure, used CGI but to good effect. I'm a fan of both movies.

Cheers

Nothing to do with the article, but I liked looking at the culture, at the time, in the film. Like the old man in the trench coat and pipe, that walks onto the roof across the way during the second take of "Get Back". You see him again during the song "Dig a Pony" - I guess he liked the Beatles, I wouldn't have guessed.

The author should post some of this to Wikipedia. Then a greater audience can read details they may have missed from the series - and possibly re-watch it with a different perspective.

Peace and Love

I clicked on the question mark at the top of the page. It explains that there are 3 definitions of a startup city as given by Balaji Srinivasan.

Perhaps a github repository with this information that can be updated with pull requests would manage a more comprehensive list and information.

But this is a good start.

Matt Damon was the Peak Crypto signal.

Mainly was LIBOR used in the EuroDollar market?

Anyways, it seems like there is a need for a system that is transparent, immutable, and accessible to everyone... Crypto? Matt Damon is calling.

Cheers

tornado.cash is a legitimate service, that happens to be used by hackers that steal ethereum.

Check out their code on github.

I can imagine the reaction from Venice Beach,CA vegans to an MSG crystal vendor on the boardwalk.

First "Oooh cool crystals, I use crystals to keep my chakras aligned. What kind are they?"

"MSG????" They quickly walk away, their sandals with white socks never moved faster.

Cheers

Is Matt Damon the signal of Peak Crypto?

So their backend allowed withdrawal transactions without 2FA control. Not a good sign for a system that should thrive on secure transactions.

Ethereum seems to be the token most prized during a breach, most likely to be used on tornado.cash.

Cheers

I'm not at your level of watching, but I have premium and it is my goto platform over HBO, Netflix, Hulu etc. I never bought into originals, but some the free movies they offer are good.

It saves me time with content I can use for development/engineering, NFL and sports, finance, blockchain, music, podcasts, home improvement, news, Leviathan (2014 film), etc. and occasionally one of the YouTubers like Mr. Beast.

It's hard for me to find new content i'm will to binge, but the subscription platforms need to keep the pipeline running.

Cheers

Businesses in the crypto space are trending to anonymous organizations and suceeding. Take traderjoexyz.com, which does not reveal anything that most businesses do on their web page, such as office addresses, team, etc.

Only handle names (Co-founders Cryptofish & 0xMurloc) are given instead of the human names in all documents. Most ethereum based businesses (traderjoexyz is Avalanche based) have at least a white paper with the actual people behind the business/concept.

Cheers

I see a few ways where blockchain/token/NFT/DAO technology/structure makes sense for enterprises - unfortunately I can't elaborate.

In the U.S., VC's are the only ones that can contribute and speed up projects, since the SEC has no safe harbors that allow smaller startups to innovate. So either do not innovate or try with the worry of the SEC killing your project. It's best for smaller projects to not allow any U.S. investment, but even then you may have a problem.

It kind of seems as if the U.S. is protecting Wall Street from Web3 under the guise of protecting retail investors. There are a lot of players that are currently collecting "Economic Rent" that may be displaced by Web3 innovation.

But there is also a lot of hype and streams of B.S. on twitter, where I had to unsubscribe to a few of the gurus, and wondered if all they did is produce fodder for the masses Aping into Crypto, so they can be brought to slaughter.

Cheers

I don't agree with your conclusions about Web3, but if you have a vision for the future of the web, go for it - you may be right.

Most of the problems cropping up are due to insecure computer programs that run on a blockchain (aka Smart Contracts).

Centralized control whether VC's and money, or Goverments and regulations, skew the decentralized world into a framework that works for Profit or Fit a government model.

Cheers

A few trends I am seeing are:

1. Initial Exchange Offerings (IEO) are specifically excluding US participants, and sometimes Canada and China based participants.

2. The US regulations are inadequate for legitimate smaller companies that want to bootstrap, requiring time-consuming legal applications to the SEC that may not get final approval - not a trend really, but more of a reinforced reality.

It makes more sense for an entrepreneur to bootstrap a company outside the US and avoid any US touchpoints, if you want to bypass the mechanics of VC capitalization, SEC friction and address a market need that will not result in a unicorn.

Cheers

This is brilliant.

I also like that it's powered by a "Meat Motor".

Cheers.

You're going at it wrong. There's all kinds of money begging to fund a tech idea. Come up with an idea that sounds dumb and just differentiates a bit from a normal business, then look to get funded by a VC.

Keep in mind that Donald Trump now is worth more than twice the valuation of the NY Times and it only took a few days.

All kinds of money out there looking to fund an idea that can be loosely rationalized by a slide deck.

She forgot to follow up on the buttcrack hair comment as promised. "(more on buttcrack hairs later)."

I imagined a graph of number of missed buttcrack hairs to the amount of light allowed in a session.

I heard that she may be the first billionaire whistleblower, when given a percentage of the fine assigned to Facebook.

What about possession of the ball? Only Fox seems to show this with a dot next to a teams score. I often glance at the score box when busy, but have wait to see which team takes possession to know the current state of the game before I can continue my busy work away from the TV.

As Arnold Schwarzenegger AKA Conan the Barbarian once said - "Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer" - "Pumping Iron"

Anyways didn't colonial prisoners consider it cruel to be fed lobster?

Things change over time.

Oracle SQL is not the devil.

I can code up SQL easily and find errors. I use sqldeveloper and granted It's not as helpful as say coding Dart on Android Studio IDE in pinpointing where a problem is and making suggestions. But I've been able maintain single sql statements 800 lines long, perform knapsack in a single sql statement, and develop complex packages in Oracle.

If you really want to see super complexity, download and create an Oracle EBS 12.2 virtualbox instance and checkout the PL/SQL packages in the APPS schema and the schemas themselves of which there are over 200.

I've used NoSQL and other SQL databases, each which had their challenges. I like the free tooling that Oracle provides - The APEX app builder and XE database are nice, if not hosted on Oracle Cloud - try the libvirt instance to evade Oracle's cloud grip.

I think the problem here is developer experience and a negative bias toward Oracle, which is understandable and prevalent in the developer community.

Cheers
