vearwhershuh··on Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy more consistent with homicide than suicide

Every year, the slur "conspiracy theorist" become less & less plausible, and more & more likely a meme inserted by conspirators.

Vegas is what flipped me.

vearwhershuh··on What's Blockchain Good For, Anyway? For Now, Not Much

couldn't they issue you a secure private key when you vote?

vearwhershuh··on What's Blockchain Good For, Anyway? For Now, Not Much

Seems like a verifiable, open voting ledger is a lot more transparent and obvious, regardless of the code and method of vote collection, which are orthogonal issues. No reason you couldn't use paper inputs and an ID into a public ledger. In fact, it should be much more consistent.

But a simple search on the internet shows that there are a lot of folks who don't want something like this.

Seems like it would be good for elections, where you need to verify the identity of voters and then be able to verify that your vote was counted properly.

vearwhershuh··on We Never Paid for Journalism

I would encourage anyone interested to read Edward Bernays (nephew, through both parents, of Sigmund Freud). He lays out why journalism is a loss leader for people who want control. It makes a lot of otherwise confusing market dynamics around media make sense. Making money, directly, on journalism is almost never the idea.

“We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise.

We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.

We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”

Apps written in this manner (when properly decomposed) are very maintainable and often markedly simpler than a client-server SPA model. It isn't a popular approach right now, but that's OK. We are all independent thinkers here on HackerNews, right?

That's exactly right.

It's also pretty hilarious.

I said a while ago: "The irony is that I had to learn a lot of javascript in order to never have to write any javascript again."
