In Spain this amounts to paying 10EUR to join a club then you can buy at your leisure. Seems like a fairly low barrier. The data maintenance stuff is a bit more concerning, but I imagine once cannabis is embedded in the country the reportin

Once decoded they would be the same file contents - imagine one DAG where the depth is log(n) and it’s a perfectly balance tree, and another where the depth of the left-hand branch is 1, right hand branch contains another subtle with left-h

This is generally true, though it’s possible to encode the same data into a slightly different shaped DAG to optimise for eg video streaming performance afaiu (balanced vs imbalanced). UnixFS vs raw bytes may also be different but I’m not 1

Desci Labs (1) do something like this - papers and all the associated data (raw data, code, analyses, peer review comments) are published and linked together - along with all the citations to other papers - in a big DAG. I believe their dat

I didn’t attend zuzalu in 2023 but have used some of the apps built on zupass (frogcrypto was embarrassingly addictive). I’m in agreement with Vitalik that a temporary community is a great way to incubate and battle-test technical changes t

I guess it’s sort of game theoretical - making you sift through extra words has a lower downside than somebody else in the company thinking I’m being curt and aggressive with them, thus it’s safer to add the ‘corp-politeness’

If I left my filing cabinet on the pavement outside my house, I ought to expect it to happen, and would thank a good samaritan telling me if I left it open

Running 2^64 SHA1 ops on a GPU takes 15 years, so I think finding a reasonable collision for that half using SHA2/3 is not as trivial as you suggest: https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/84520/how-long-w

Perhaps OP is in the minority, but I am too then - I couldn’t enjoy the voice-acted versions; they all sounded cheesy. With text only, I imbued the game with a little imagination - not unlike reading a book - and also found the weird transl

Most companies […] are lighting money on fire - is this not the VC model?

While I agree it does a good job, ‘unreasonable’ is a term that’s up to the implementer

At some point in the future, people will look back at things like this in utter confusion - jail-time and a massive waste of police resources in order to stop people from sharing books…

Retrospectively, a lot of the comments you made could also have been said of Google search as it was taking off (open source alternative, SETI-like distributed version, copyright on data being the only blocker), but that didn’t come to pass

That’s also true of any digital means, and watching CCTV doesn’t scale well. Adding that legwork is precisely why cash is a win

For a few roles I’ve been allowed to buy a top of the range MacBook and expense it without any contact with IT - no spyware, no anything. To that end, I never felt the need to buy a personal laptop and do basically everything on my work lap

Perhaps I’m missing something, but when I’ve done this in the past, I get weird package resolution because my index.js isn’t in the root (`npm publish` publishes the root and doesn’t support alternate paths to my knowledge) - in the end peo

Not defending the comparison against revenue, but we’d need to compare the value produced by the illegal tracking against the probability of getting caught and fined. Given google are unlikely to be the only one doing this, the expected val

Cordial is a thick juicy syrup added to drinks, but is not alcoholic itself. I think the GP means ‘squash’ or ‘diluting juice’, which sometimes gets called cordial too (though I associate cordial with the thicker stuff)

Complete tangent, but does anyone remember the online puzzle ‘in from the cold’ or its follow-up ‘torment? It’s what got me into cryptography many years ago - only two people ever completed ‘in from the cold’ if I remember correctly, and no

Testimony is evidence, just not _conclusive_ evidence. The reality is for such cases there’s basically never going to be conclusive evidence; I think that’s why they cause such a divide amongst people

But presumably the AI is just identifying faces, not judging who is and is not a criminal
