Doesn't matter what Yanis calls himself. The Economist used that quote out of context and is a cheap shot for a magazine that wants to keep "high standards". You either give accurate descriptions of both parties you're r

What drove me off was the double standards applied by the economist, e.g.: "Yanis Varoufakis, a self-proclaimed erratic Marxist, [...]" vs "Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the President of the Eurogroup, [...]" What about "Var

Indeed, UPNP effectively turns on "auto-pilot". The fridge running on 10 years old firmware might open ports dynamically. Networks featuring UPNP should be marked as "open/insecure".

I don't know about BTRFS but ZFS is expensive in terms of RAM and since ram is scarce on RPis, I would expect ZFS to underperform under RPis.

Totally agree! My point was that although you can solve long term storage with tech and there are projects who can try to solve the problem, with all the caveats you mentioned, there is no way technically to solve the artwork provenance par

I agree. I don’t see “permanent storage” as an unsolvable problem. What I see as a problem, is creating a process to identify ownership of the NFTs. I wonder how auctions do that. Technically must quite expensive to prove ownership of a di

> Governments want you to think of crypto primarily as an asset and not a currency, because they don't want to give up control over currency creation. According to Adi Shamir[1] 98% of bitcoins belonged to 2% of portfolios in 2012.

I'm not sure how is this relevant. Would you really buy a Tesla with BTC, when you can buy it with USD? If I give you 10 BTC today, you'd hoard them or go on a spending spree?

I agree with the sentiment, but this part is way off: > [...] despite being one of the most fiat currencies by definition [...] FIAT currencies are by design inflationary to enhance spending. Bitcoin is deflationary _by design_. Since th

I did not get that, sorry. I would opt for routing instead of NATing if possible.

I don’t see how this problem is relevant. Same thing happens in the physical world with papers, paintings, licenses, etc. Who invented the calculus? Newton or Leibniz?

In a 250 org, I would propose to document the APIs automatically through swagger[^1] and use something like sphinx[^2] to get started for everything else. That said documentation is extra burden that ppl usually don't get credit for. K

Productivity is a metric and the moment you use for _whatever_ will be gamed. This is just the natural course of things. The main problem is that productivity, when it comes to research, is a lousy metric. Eventually productivity will be li
