Thanks for reporting. Can you confirm that the link you're clicking appears on peepeth.com/a/personality, and is in the following form: knowyourself.ai/preview/some-code-here? Have emailed you a preview link.

Yes, those are the links I click.

The link you sent via e-mail is the same one I get on the `/a/personality` page.

I'll follow up via e-mail, too.

The #KnowYourself link guides me to an URI with an empty page (literally nothing in the `<body>`), and nothing but `Successfully compiled asm.js code (total compilation time 2ms)` in the console. This in Firefox with quite a few privacy extensions. Anyone else seeing this?..

We just presented what we did @Hackatoshi - trying to improve on some privacy issues that @peter_szilagyi talked about at @efdevcon 4 in the very same city as @Hackatoshi is now happening in. You can find results in this @github org: https://github.com/tincubeth thanks to the great @Paralelni_polis venue for hosting and @JosefJelacic for organizing!

I see on the website an image of #WallETH with the in3 as a network provider.

Is this a "virtual" Android? Is it talking to the underlying host machine, or an actual Orbot (#Tor app) on same Android?

Either way, cool stuff!

Guess UBI is tricky to imagine if you grew up in a country without obligatory government-issued ID cards, residence registers, and value-added tax. (Penguin says this is #politics; so be it!)

However, arguably - and in Naval's defense - UBI is indeed hard to implement in a country without the first two, and can easily feed runaway economic processes without additional financial controls (of which VAT is one).

Which shows how much he's stuck in his own US+capitalist interpretation of the world. He takes a proposition that _relies_ on no "means-testing", adds that to it, and then says it won't work. :/

Naval's third argument is "It's nonsense to hand 15K out to everybody, you want to means-test people; there's no reason to give it to you and me; so, you end up back towards the welfare system, where you do have to figure out who needs it and who doesn't". ...

Mine voted for "christian democrats", and vote distribution was in absolutely the same uniform order as the country averaged. No surprise there - presidential elections (on the same day) took all the attention anyone would pay to #politics, or EU policies for that matter.

Ah no, wait, I was looking at the wrong column. :D

My 'hood voted _more_ for the two christian parties than the rest of the country; but also _more_ liberal, and less green.

To be honest, though, one of the two green parties is phony, and the other toothless.

Say: What if we use fossils for fuel, too, and not just polymer synthesis? Do we manage to proliferate beyond one star system before a periodic coronal mass ejection wipes us out?

... Or something wholly pessimistic:

The simulation used to have a purpose, but now it's hung in an infinite loop. Like ants crawling over a toy that a child forgot when mom called dinner, the sense we make of life is ours and ours alone.

Back to the question of "why simulate": it's probably impossible to determine, since the parameters for success or failure are external to the simulation; and both (success and failure) result in the same outcome as far as the simulants are concerned: termination.

If we are living in a simulation the question "why was this simulation created?" is a fun one. And what stimuli (papers,humans,..) in this simulation might be inserted to control it.

The only way to find out, I figure, is go through the list of all signed txs for an account, and look for `0x095ea7b3` (4-byte signature for `approve(address,uint256)`). Then filter out the ones still "active"...

Conjecture on conjecture, true, and probably unlikely. But still, some extra peace of mind for the user, which dapp developers seem to ignore (except `0x`, perhaps). I'd also argue that allowances should be tracked by wallets, too, but alas.

Wish they had a "disable allowance" button for the tokens. Once you withdraw from the system, it's still technically enabled. Say there was a bug in the contracts, and one's funds could be "pulled back" into the system against their will...

Wonder why _really_. "To encourage to grow more" isn't really an answer. Idle guess is it being "stock" for rope and heavy-duty canvas, which otherwise has to be imported (at high cost), which in turn undercuts profits from cotton exports and strains the supply chain.

"Strains the supply chain": by this, I mean that it takes up limited shipping space, that otherwise could be occupied by much scarcer "goods" - steel, purebred livestock... and people.

Did I guess right? Does the book say more?
