I think collision or interaction are better words. The word touch is meant for bigger objects, like hands, animals, furniture, fabrics, not molecules and electromagnetic radiation.

False positives would constitute a huge invasion of privacy. Even actual positives would be, a mom taking a private picture of her naked baby, how can you report that. They did well dropping this insane plan. The slippery slope argument is also a solid one.

A brillant man who, as a kid, inspired and motivate me by his cool exploits (even though I didn't end up pursuing cybersecurity).

It would work if adblockers were honest and didn't try to evade detection. Free -> accept ads, otherwise pay. Fair.

It's the relative difference that bothers people.

It certainly didn't for online poker.

2 failed megaprojects so far, diem and the metaverse. Aim small miss small. Fail fast, fail often. Don't wait until you spent billion of dollars over half a decade.

Random thought: they can't use the intercepted communication against you in court because it would reveal their capability. But they can use it in an indirect way to target you.

If they they are carbon neutral or near neutral like lithium batteries, then why not?

>> It may not grow to have people choosing not to go out because of tipping.

It did for me personally. It was a huge motivator in learning to cook at home.

Something very similar happened to a Qatar Airways flight a few days ago, coming as low as 800 feet from the ocean. Scary stuff.

The F-35 is ready and networks well with EWACS and 4th gen fighters. It's stealth allows the navy and air force to execute many scenarios much better than before. Watch this: https://youtu.be/mGwU9HKH_Eo

Try to stay optimistic, eat healthy and exercise. With some luck, it might pass. Many people have reported recovering after a couple of months but I don't see why it couldn't take longer.

I hope the law will converge to this: As a human, I don't need a license to look and get inspired by art. But I am not allowed to feed that same data to a machine as a training dataset without proper authorization from the owner.

Also the market is betting the Fed will not stick to their forecast and will end up lowering rates in 2023.

I tend to think they will stick to their guns: they will raise to 5+% and stay there as long as unemployment is below 4.5%

These companies are widely profitable. Overvalued != insolvent.

In the next 10-20 years, AI is gonna eat the world, just like software did, but 10x of that. We are still in the mainframe era of computing when it comes to AI. Large scale neural network take teams of experts to design and build, and supercomputers to train. All of that is coming to our computers and smartphones in the next decade or two, and it's gonna imprint everything we do and how we live our lives. ChatGPT and stable diffusion are just a glimpse in the future.

With this thesis in mind, it's clear that (T)QQQ and semiconductor companies are gonna be huge winners in this new augmented intelligence era. One just needs the conviction to hold thru the emotional rollercoaster that leveraged ETFs are.

If you are bored with the safe and unsexy options in this thread, and u have a great appetite for risk: Wait until TQQQ (3x QQQ ETF) goes under 10$ and then start a DCA over 12 months. You can easily 50-100x ur investment in 10-20 years. Alternatively look up HFEA strategy. Think big!

My personal opinion on this is that the minimum should protect me from others. This doesn't even include seatbelts I gave as example because I can (realistically) only hurt myself. This would include gas emissions, noise limits, headlight angle/strength rules, ... Certainly not the dashboard layout.

Like the iPhone for example? Or maybe the Porsche 911 GT3 RS? Markets have a lot of segments. Government should regulate the minimum absolute necessity. Like seatbelts... who were ironically a market invention/idea first.

You know how journalists, for the sake of transparency, disclose holdings or interests when they cover a subject. There should be the reverse of that where they make a bet to show conviction in their beliefs. It would be a funny game. Most of them will bet $0.

WYSIWYG

I longed for Flash but I learned DHTML instead. I bet many young readers haven't heard of that "technology".

> I'd argue that if you're smart enough to be reading this website...

I would agree that the average IQ (or potential in general) of the HN readers is more than that of the general population, but I disagree there is any minimum threshold here in any capacity that warrant your statement. Many readers here can't code at all, or couldn't learn to well enough to build and market software.

You are not making an effort to appreciate the opposite point if view. An order of magnitude for a young, decentralized, trustless and permissionless network is quite an engineering feat.

How complex? -> Turing complete. Also there is more to L2s than batching. Their aim is to maintain the security guarantees of the L1 without sacrificing availability. Plus, Zk proofs and merkle trees allow for great data compression in the rollup.

This is not crypto, this is Enron, Theranos and Madoff. In DeFi, you check the code once, and that's what gonna run (exception being proxy contracts, but those are a red flag in itself).

The SEC is gonna give them a small fine at best. They are not gonna do something that's gonna disadvantage the big US players.

Most money laundering and criminal enterprises are conducted in fiat. Bitcoin is not anonymous.
