e9··on NFT misconception: JPEG aren't stored on the Blockchain
Universe rewards creativity
e9··on NFT misconception: JPEG aren't stored on the Blockchain
I think a lot of it is to just support artists. A kind of charity from universe for artist to continue doing what they are doing. People who are making big money on NFT are already established artists. With physical art, artist sells it once and has no idea where it is. With NFTs, artists can set up royalties for every sale. With block chain, if you can verify address of artist then as a buyer you can guarantee that you are buying original work and also ensures that all (or some during resale) money goes to artist.
e9··on Avoid Surprise Bills from AWS
I did that and next month new unapproved charge again. What happened is they auto updates stolen card with Postmates and then told me to contact Postmates but I don’t have account with them. I basically now have to cancel credit card every month. I’m just gonna have to figure out how to get new one.
e9··on Idaesbasic – Beta Release
Can you include more screenshots? It’s kind of hard to judge usefulness without UI.
e9··on Google Staff Squirm as Remote Workers Face Pay Cuts
They adjust your salary up or down when you move to office in a different city. I don’t see how this is any different.
e9··on The main thing about Phenylacetone meth is that there's so much of it
It’s also possible that the impurities themselves were making it easier on the body(for whatever reason they could signal liver to produce more enzymes that were the ones to break down meth or clear it’s harmful metabolites etc)
e9··on Ask HN: What’s your goto website for finding work?
I used hired.com in the past with mixed success.

This recruiter is really good at matching talent with companies: https://recruitmyfriends.com/

e9··on Ask HN: Best way to host a website for 500 years?
Maybe decentralized web can survive that long. I just got my first domain on IPFS: ipfs://digitalrose.crypto

I got it on https://unstoppabledomains.com which claims I don't ever have to pay another fee again for it to stay alive forever.

you would need to install plugin or use browser that supports IPFS out of the box: Brave and Opera

e9··on Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro
I actually don’t think this is why they did it. I only know white males who use Android. Period. They already got that market. Therefore there is no point for them to advertise to white males. You always advertise to demographic you want.
e9··on Former Boeing 737 Max Chief Technical Pilot Indicted for Fraud
If you dig deeper he was clearly aware of the issue and chose to cut corners even though he was of course pressured, read his email on page 3: https://transportation.house.gov/imo/media/doc/Compressed%20...
e9··on Former Boeing 737 Max Chief Technical Pilot Indicted for Fraud
He definitely knew what he was doing and yea he was pressured, read his email on page 3: https://transportation.house.gov/imo/media/doc/Compressed%20...
e9··on Quantum Annealing opens a new door to Simulation Hypothesis
There are many different ways to interpret what “God” can mean. For not so literal interpretation of the Bible and God that can excite some scientific minds, I highly recommend watching Biblical Series lectures by Jordan Peterson on YouTube.
e9··on Facebook bans, sends C&D letter to developer of Unfollow Everything extension
The author of the extension admits he worked with university to collect user data for some study: https://slate.com/technology/2021/10/facebook-unfollow-every...
e9··on Facebook bans, sends C&D letter to developer of Unfollow Everything extension
It’s probably because extension was recording usage of Facebook. They are cracking down on any type of user data collection even with user consent. Which is ironic but in some way makes sense to avoid another Cambridge Analytica.

Edit: to clarify confusion, author of the extension worked with university to collect user data to use for study: https://slate.com/technology/2021/10/facebook-unfollow-every...

e9··on Investigators say they've finally identified the Zodiac Killer
Thank you for the book recommendation. My internal visual system is impaired unless I’m on certain drugs. I’m super excited to hear it can be trained.
e9··on Update about the October 4th outage
I’m not sure they are competing though. They serve different purposes and co-exist pretty well together.
e9··on Tell HN: A Manifesto for These Times
Judge ideas on their own merit and not based on who proposed them. Too many good ideas get hate because of the speaker.
e9··on How we got to LiveView
I thought exactly this. I wonder if we can get author to elaborate on the differences with Meteor.
e9··on The Psychology of Betting Big and Losing It All
That wouldn’t have helped Livermore because he was trading on margin.
e9··on Ask HN: How did Google botch messaging/video/hangouts so badly?
Bad assumption. I worked for Snap and anything that goes out has to be reviewed and signed off by legal. Don’t even get me started on looking at data. For some data requests, Directors had to be involved and I had to justify to them to give me access for couple hours to some piece of data.

I also worked for FB and it’s not as strict as Snap but similar.

e9··on How to rapidly improve at any programming language (2016)
When I need to learn new language I try to solve basic coding questions with minimum number of characters. You learn a ton about language this way pretty quickly.
e9··on Stripe banned us for payment disputes but we never had a single dispute
I actually heard of a person who did something along these lines to the competition and Stripe shut the competitor down.
e9··on The real OnlyFans scandal is the unaccountable power of platforms and banks
what is "mid burning" in this context? what do you expect % of charge backs to be for something like onlyfans? if you were to start a company in this field what would you use as a payment processor?
e9··on If Microsoft Made Cars
I initially thought it’s on purpose, indicating that car would fail with 404 lol
e9··on Ask HN: How do you take care of your eye-sight as developers?
Can-C eye drops
e9··on Over ear wireless headphone recommendations for many hours of coding?
I bought wireless beats in Costco recently for like $40-$50. They are amazing for working out and coding.
e9··on Review: Why Facebook can never fix itself
Your question is probably rhetorical but yet it’s owned by MIT: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Technology_Review
e9··on My mindfulness practice led me to meltdown
What you describe in your example about mind stop being focused on the future sounds like when sound and video on TV is not synchronized and you become aware that you are watching the TV
e9··on Ask HN: Do you regret having children?
You got to be careful here. Countries that don’t vaccinate also don’t care to diagnose autism. For example, according to this site(https://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-is-the-most-anti-vaxx...) the most antivax country in the world is Ukraine and they definitely not up to par with US on diagnosing autism according to their autism awareness project: https://child.ua/en/projects/autism-awareness-ukraine/
e9··on The math of living things
I second that. Scale is phenomenal book that is very accessible to curious reader.
