Before bitcoin, I was always more of a high science fiction kind of guy, like Gameplayers of Zan, Sentenced to Prism, and Bloodchild, but I've really been enjoying the cyberpunk stuff lately.

in other words, most people today exhibit such a contempt for the opposing side, than when faced with problems in society... they wud rather harm their own species than deal with the enemy kindly...

inability to tell right from wrong leads to this behavior; fascinating!

I've been having some dark thoughts.

What if biometric-based KYC really is the way of the future, the only way to ensure that digital interactions are between real humans?

What if biometric-based KYC really is the way of the future, the only way to ensure that digital interactions are between real humans?

What is the use case where that distinction matters enough and at the same time cannot be made using a different mechanism?

reply

It matters to me whether I'm talking to a human or a robot.

As for mechanisms, the concern is that no software-based approach will be able to filter bots from humans in the near future (already?). And that we'll have to resort to biomarkers and centralized database using high-touch verification, that robots have a harder time faking.

reply

If I can't distinguish a bot from a human, I don't think I'd really care who I'm talking to. But that's easy to say now.
I also get enough human interaction in meat space. And that can't be faked (yet).

I'd certainly prefer not knowing whether the other party is human or not over knowing but at the price of living in a system where I'm KYC'ed to the last tee and all my info is catalogued by entities I hold no sway over.

How should I handle post and sat metrics for crossposted items in Stacker News Monthly?

So far, I've been counting everything fully for all the territories they've been crossposted in. So, for example, if a post is posted on ~bitcoin and ~econ, both ~bitcoin and ~econ get +1 posts. And if that post gets zapped 100 sats, both ~bitcoin and ~econ get +100 sats.

Should I split things evenly among the crossposted territories instead?

reply

I like the count fully method.
