WhoIsSatoshi

I keep thinking in my mind this makes sense but then ponder about the "local" impact - what would a user "donating space" be storing locally and might risk? Where does the risk lay, is it with the uploader, the seeder, or the service provider? I would love to see this pickup but it feels as though it would devolve into one of the listed projects. It "sounds" as though it should use some kind of Distributed Ledger Technology, IPFS seem the most fit, maybe some kind of next layer that offers just this service (IPFS being GDPR compliant might mitigate some risk?)

I am totally behind that. The Ethos of the platform and the visibility it has are priming it for acceptance and its own market. When Open Source crystallizes around it, this could be the spark to break the duopoly of the mobile platforms (by framing a hypothetical future alternative), AND provide Desktop OS's an Ethos-First platform for releases, where the developers would want to be on their best behavior from the get-go.

I'd theorize it has, but nobody has been able to coordinate such a focused investigation.

This youtube channel has other fascinating videos - such as what the Athens Castle (Acropolis) looked like at the time.

A bit acrid but maybe on point. I feel what bothers me the most is that I related to the post until the very end. What frustrates me is that I, too, operate under a guise of assumptions that might not be mandated: there is room for nefarious actors in the AirBnb system, up to and including hosts who control the wifi you connect to and/or the locks you use. I'm not sure where to take it from here, Awareness is a delicate virtue, too much of it and it turns into paranoia.

Sorry for your experience. Interesting post, chilling thoughts at the end:

>When I sit in front of the computer in San Francisco, the only thing that comes to my mind is to build a Face Recognition system and check the burglar’s face in it. Something similar to Clearview. Machine Learning is my expertise; creating such a system is straightforward but will take some time. Tempting. Thinking about it.

The thought my peers are pushing for extended surveillance/identification tooling is terrifying.

I was thinking something similar - these days really valuable contents seem to resurface from a few years back. Two days ago I was reading a blog post from 2012 which I though was worthwhile. Walden's Thoreau states that 'Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.'

=> I believe that we are lacking the commitment that one had to put into a project such intent as a book then with the current fastfood social medial / article generation. I also believe that in its place, a hybrid of sorts will come and surface softly back multiple time to underline the impact it left on the collective unconscious. This sounds like what we're seeing.

=> projected cost to the customer seem to be ~ 80/100 per shot with 2 shots needed (if we go with a $20 base + $80 premium)

UK already ordered 30M out of the 50M avail for this year. So no going on winter break to Thailand just yet! Wondering who will grab the next 20M, and how much this vaccine is being sold per dose.

Can Brave start working on its own search engine already? B. Eich has been one of the few saviors trying to rescue us from Google - Everyone who understands what is going on is trying to leave, but there are no better options out there yet!

Better graphics?

I feel this article is more of a critique of character than it is that of Thoreau's writing. I stumbled into Walden in my 30s and figured I'd continue my classic exploration. After a month of trying to get through the first few chapters, all I could tell myself was that I hated this book, and couldn't figure out why in hell people were praising it. I wanted to make sense out of it, get a grand picture: I wanted to extract the wisdom Thoreau was surely pouring through the pages! I was miserable, my experience was horrible. Reading felt forced, the text itself dense and unenjoyable. After some thought, I resolved to just get through the pages, and not try to make sense out of it, just cruising through. From then on, the pages and the words took on a different meaning - it wasn't about an idea to be extracted, but about simply enjoying the words on the pages. The moment I stopped trying to make sense out of the book, I started enjoying the words on their own, and they turned out to be the most beautiful friends through my reading.

"Walden" is my favorite book to this day. If you try to analyze it, you might get lost in the weeds - I feel this is what happened with the author of that article here - there's a story in it: Don't focus on it, just let your mind wander and enjoy the pure, humble beauty laid bare throughout.

Do you have a source I can look at or do I have to go look at at or can you point to code by chance?

I'm quite surprised I wasn't aware of this if this is actually how it is implemented, the leading zeroes seemed right (and the difficulty by factor of 2 also!)

Thanks!

thank you for speaking up - there's a lot of fake noise, don't mind it - the message carries through: glad to know others are out there!

the topic is interesting but I found the article too lengthy. I do like the tea with stranger setup and get to know thyself concepts... but I feel the article could have had twice the impact if it had been half the length.

Used IPVanish for a few years, it was great the first, sucked the 2nd. I switched. These days I use VyprVPN. I like their Chameleon encryption that hides the VPN (although some data still leaks and some sites still detect it) and the killswitch option (prevents connections out if VPN not active)

Merry Christmas friends!

strongly welcome this type of content, and this kind of talk - there are many unknowns and we are oft running wild with something that should benefit from a better integration with the legal system - for the outside legal boundaries, and for the inner integration with a world that still hears "Magic-Internet-Money" every time someone mentions Bitcoin

To me this feels way too real. People have to speak in 'codes' and 'memes' because they are already being ultra censored and controlled.... and the next level of it being the code or meme being censored.

The title of the article glosses over one significant fact: You cannot know the pregnancy rate at the precise moment from (1) folks who do not know, (2) folks who will abort or lose the child (worsening economy, loss of job, stress...) (3) folks who do not report. It can be argued that you can abstract those cases out, but the useable data becomes extremely blurry as the early months of a pregnancy are the riskiest ones for the birth.

In hindsight, looking at the recorded birth and subtracting 9 months will give you a clearer picture but by then better indicators of recession in progress might have been more readily observable.

Nevertheless - I find the idea fascinating as the birth of a child is one where individuals have to take into account a lot of things and internalize/assess the situation for the immediate future beyond what folks want to hear or believe.

What I wonder about is the impact of those lost births on future economies (20 years later?) and/or what the impact is on the recovering economy.

This is a well written explanation of the different layers one will encounter when writing JS. It's a bit frustrating at first but once you get past the hill, it's very satisfying.

there is no end to that argument, if a spammer is good enough to be able to foresee anti-spam software then they are likely beyond the target audience. BUT the average and by large general spam crew are not technical experts, most of them have bought some software to advertise to a large audience by mass email / crawl / filter, and are just looking at monetizing some product (or get your infos / CCs). By wasting time for the 95% of the spammers (ironically with techniques that are very similar to them) you can still weed out a big chunk of that sector and have a big impact.

agreed - what we're seeing is essentially a peer distributed stock market or "blockchain-like" linking of salaries to perf and voting to stock (proof of stake). I view it as a good first step, but I am expecting an ethereum-based platform to one-up this idea in a few years.

I sympathize, I love reading but I intently skip some books until they have surfaced - I view reading as a monte-carlo localization: read what appear to have the most probable high reward as determined by the prior exploration, but occasionally throw a curveball in there in case you might be missing something that is just that far out. Interestingly, can be applied to many other aspects of one's life.

When you see this start to happen to Bitcoin, that's when you sell and buy ethereum (or other secondary crypto!)

sounds more like product manager here - unless roles blend where you're at

"City of Quartz" by Mike Davis is a book that explores the life of Los angeles, most notably through housing and style evolution - there is some heavy discussion in there on the creation of panopticon-like malls, and how the architecture is slowly devolving into this two tiered system, the well-to-do and the others. A bigger discussion surely - but the book is a labor of love, make no mistake.
