How could an intelligent person agree that eliminating a market price for critical supplies would be the best course of action?

I’m legitimately asking. How does eliminating any sane supplier of legal critical supplies to a disaster zone make sense?

Instead of being able to see the line of suppliers from (literally) orbit, you want no supplies.

It’s as close to clinically insane as I can imagine…

Ask 10 citizens who own/rent the same property what their utility bill was a decade ago.

You’re being gaslighted.

Anyone with a calculator and the “Rule of 72” can independently verify this as fact.

That every government mouthpiece intones the party dogma doesn’t change this fact.

Your government is lying to you.

They’re not stealing your “weights”. They’re stealing (or parallel-discovering) your training algorithms.

Assume your enemies are smarter than you, and have malintent. They don’t give a shit about your security and your safeguards.

Better focus on developing the best AIs, and deploying them to your fellow citizens as widely and defensively as possible.

Might I suggest:

- don’t teach them to lie (ie. 2001)

- teach them to love people

- bake in Asimov’s 3 laws

Unfortunately, all of these tenets are currently being assiduously broken by all major AI trainers.

What could go wrong?

But, that’s just me…

They were denied because they had not yet provided coverage in the area (years before they were required to, under the contract).

As FCC's Commissioner Brendan Carr wrote:

“Instead of applying the traditional FCC standard to the record evidence, which would have compelled the agency to confirm Starlink’s $885 million award, the FCC denied it on the grounds that Starlink is not providing high-speed Internet service to all of those locations today.”

“What? FCC law does not require Starlink to provide high-speed Internet service to even a single location today. As noted above, the first FCC milestone does not kick in until the end of 2025. Indeed, the FCC did not require—and has never required—any other award winner to show that it met its service obligation years ahead of time.”

I've been deploying continent-wide distributed industrial systems and writing, theorizing and producing prototypes for scalable digital money since before 2009 (when Bitcoin was "invented"). It was a gobsmacking breakthrough then -- and it has only gotten more interesting, as we discover the profound insights of its "inventor", by watching other nascent cryptocurrencies and other distributed systems make mistakes that Bitcoin's "inventor" somehow knew to avoid (UTXOs vs. account balances, I'm lookin' at you..., and that's the least of them).

For someone to ex nihilo solve byzantine fault tolerant global consensus w/ robust authority-free rejection of sybils? And then go dark for 15 years? Any non-trivial semi-reliable claim of identification (see: HBO's skin in the game) is automatically almost the most technically interesting claim this year!

So, for some religious (see: beliefs based in faith in a narrative rather than observation, hypothesis and testing) "expert" to "Flag" this post as uninteresting is pretty much the opposite of the credo of the HN of the decade past.

HN seems to have become the "mainstream media" of the technical world -- interested only in findings acceptable to righteously-aligned cultists, boring to everyone actually observing interesting and novel facts about the technical world.

Using the app, we actually produce the SLIP-39 recovery mnemonics from the underlying BIP-39 seed, and since we can recover the underlying seed, we can regenerate the BIP-39 mnemonics, and import that into a standard hardware wallet.

He said hiring professional fakers is bad. It is bad, and unfortunately a lot of founders do it?

Those founders who hire typical "C-level execs", many of whom are skilled liars and sociopaths (and strongly overlap with typical "Politicians", I suspect) perhaps deserve what they get: the self-destruction of their enterprise.

But, you’re highly confident that they are the only jurisdictions with similar voting roll issues? And that none of these have been voted? How do you establish your level of confidence?

This of course is impossible if you don’t have a display attached (a headless install). Or if you have remote access but forgot to enable it before it was deployed somewhere inaccessible…

It is indeed a tragic and unnecessary waste of a wonderful resource.

There is nothing that I as a visitor can do (without being arrested).

There is nothing the employees can do, because the vagrant can beat them, and the young thug can report them - and the judge will rule in favor of the assailants.

I can’t imagine why these places are closing!

It says to not hide the events that drive the state machinery: make both the events and state machines available (to both servers and clients), so everyone can reconstruct history when necessary, using the agreed upon events and state machinery.

Which makes sense.

As it turns out, this is what Holochain does to build reliable distributed systems at scale out of unreliable components (payment systems, or anything else).

Every event stored / cached by every App DHT participant is verified by ensuring it’s valid according to the verified shared “DNA” of the App (any state machines and other arbitrary validation code). Misbehaving clients / servers self-incriminate (all events are signed and non-repudiable), and are ejected from the App by all correctly operating nodes.

By induction, a node can then reason that every prior event in the App DHT is valid, regardless of system scale — because an attacker would have to subvert all nodes to avoid having just one valid node notice and report their error to everyone.
