Oh so NFTs are MLMs but real estate speculation is just fine?

by macawfish 5y ago
You are quite actually purchasing time and food for the artist to make more art. That said I am interested in the possibility of NFTs being linked to a key that decrypts some openly licensed content or source files. I think that'd be r

There's a missing perspective in a lot of these comments: some people like to support artists and aren't that naive when it comes to "buying NFTs". They see stuff they like and want to support the creator. That's al

This is cool, I hadn't seen it until now. For those interested in a similar but more distributed option, hypercore-protocol will soon have multiwriter primitives! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S-D4yY1H48

My neck hurts already just watching that teaser video... Looks cool though!

I agree with you, and I think it's just as frustrating when the decision makers don't document and communicate risk "down the chain", instead packaging up tasks for the implementers and expecting them to have the same se

That's an interesting question. Markets facilitate the emergence of inventive structures, and some of but not all of those are definitely misaligned with the well being of many, many people. Look at critiques of GDP as the primary meas

There's an episode of Mike Tyson's podcast where he talks to a former Mafia boss about how easy it is to get athletes who are in debt to Mafia bookies to throw games as payment for their debts. Prediction markets bring the magic o

I really hope the Chromium team (or someone!) decides to support PipeWire for Chromium directly on Linux.

Yup, exactly. Gait is the main thing I've seen too. But there are a whole grab bag of papers about these applications with different methodologies. Stuff like topological data analysis and machine learning are much more fleshed out th

Face recognition is one thing. Device free localization and identification by spectral/topological analysis of mm-wave antenna array data is even more invasive. Hint: I'm talking about 5G and its big surveillance application, an o

I feel that way about naming the company "Science" too. Like why would you do that?
13.
by macawfish 5y ago
Naming the company "Science" really grates my gears. It strikes me as an opportunistic grab of a huge swath of cognitive and linguistic commons. Sure it's clever but if this company's branding gets popular with the gener

Refreshing to see this conversation play out while the silicon valley neoliberals are fast asleep. I want this in my city. People in my life are struggling to keep up with housing prices. It's obscene.

Seems frivolous to foist this on browser developers when custom elements already make this possible. Would be cool of course cause 3d stuff is cool.

It takes a lot of energy. It's exhausting.

Okay so I get that this is a really important result, but I worry about the reflexive, reductionist media narrative that's forming around this as potentially being even more damaging to these children then the pandemic itself. If anyth

I like the idea of having to grant applications permissions to use multicast, and to make the suggested behavior be "deny permissions", but whatever this form is I don't like it.

We have technologies today to transform CO2 in the ocean directly into calcium carbonate. It's just that this article isn't talking about those, it's talking about removal from the atmosphere
21.
by macawfish 5y ago
I actually did see the word "atmosphere" in there before I wrote this, believe it or not. But my confusion still stands and is "does this change if the CO2 is extracted directly from the ocean?" I think the article could

by macawfish 5y ago
I'm assuming this article is referring to removal of CO2 from the atmosphere and not directly from the ocean itself? There have been proposals to remove dissolved CO2 directly from the ocean by turning it into calcium carbonate: https

I'm excited about a slew of new carbon capture processes that are integrated with green concrete + hydrogen production. There are an assortment of them that take things like salt water/air and calcium and produce hydrogen and lime

Just noting that some of those articles are about mm wave devices explicitly designed as radars. But if you dig through you'll find articles geared towards "mm wave antenna arrays", which is a basically a keyword for 5G radio

The special thing about mm wave antenna arrays is that you don't need to have a phone on you to be identified by the unique fingerprint of your gait. There's enough information density in that spectrum to resolve your identity acc

There have been dozens papers like this for years spelling out exactly just what 5G is good for. It should be understood that there are papers about how to do both device free localization and identification with mm wave antenna arrays. Som

No no no, the amendment doesn't say that those activities can't be taxed, it clarifies that there won't be KYC requirements on people who literally can't comply with them. The issue here isn't about what activities

What's happening in Minnesota with this oil pipeline is akin to the Brazilian government's capitulation to reckless cattle farmers who burn down the rain forest.
