Seems likely there was a failure of the FinCen Know Your Customer (KYC) rules. I like the plot twist in the filing:

"Kolomoisky is now reported to have made a return to Ukraine for the first time in several years, a decision which is believed to be linked to the recent victory in the Ukrainian presidential election of the television star and comedian Mr. Volodymyr Zelenskiy, behind whom Kolomoisky is widely reported as being the principal power and financial backer. Press reports speculate that there is a deal between Mr. Kolomoisky and Mr. Zelenskiy: in exchange for Kolomoisky’s support, Mr. Zelenskiy will ensure the return of PrivatBank to the ownership of Mr. Kolomoisky in order to circumvent any pending or threatened litigation against Kolomoisky." -- https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/images/royaltyfree/kolomoisk...

That is some serious corruption allegations right there.

From a financial controls perspective it seems like the US government was pursuing these folks (according to the complaint) so somebody was making complaints.

Taking a weak sketch of an argument and then filling in what you want to see seems to me to be a realization of one's own desires, and not a convincing argument in and of itself. I've no interest in reading a Christian Apologists attempt to find a way to rationalize out a creator - if I'm going to be convinced of such a thing, I expect there to be convincing, obvious, evidence, and not to end up at the end of a metaphysical cul-de-sac and to have to "God" my way out of it.

I can't help but be sceptical about the suggestion that Iran attacked the oil tanker.

They're trying to be friends with Japan, but they attack a Japanese vessel while the PM of Japan is actually visiting? Really?

They aren't a superpower, and the US has bases all the way around Iran. Maybe I'm a strategic simpleton whose entire diplomatic experience is playing Civ, but it just doesn't seem smart.

Plus you have to wonder about the evidence for the Iraq war. That seemed pretty flimsy too. And it involved some of the same senior staff.

If international diplomacy were a reality TV show, it would make sense though.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." ― Upton Sinclair
Straight from Wikipedia:

"In his book, Body of Secrets, James Bamford, who spent three years in the United States Navy as an intelligence analyst, writes, that the primary purpose of the Maddox "was to act as a seagoing provocateur—to poke its sharp gray bow and the American flag as close to the belly of North Vietnam as possible, in effect shoving its five-inch cannons up the nose of the communist navy. ... The Maddox' mission was made even more provocative by being timed to coincide with commando raids, creating the impression that the Maddox was directing those missions ..." Thus, the North Vietnamese had every reason to believe that Maddox was involved in these actions."

The US was already neck deep in Vietnam, what they needed was an excuse for going all in. So they started poking the bear, which is exactly what they're doing right now with Russia, Iran, China and probably more.

Wars are not started by coincidence, they are very well planned and always come with a hidden agenda.
I don't agree. I think there is no reason to get over pithy about code style. Question one is "does it work," but question two is "can others read and maintain it." By adding in extra logic and lines that do absolutely nothing, the next reader of the code has to slow down and think, "ok, person A did this for a reason, what is their reason..." and disassemble the bad code only to realize that they just waited their time doing so. Readable and maintainable need to be considered for any code that will be maintained or read by others.
Which is why you don't need to ask for permission, just follow the license.

Yes, that does make more sense. Of course I would counter that the universe and our existing in it came to be out of random mindless chaos is also an extraordinary claim.

I’d state it as there must be a singular uncaused cause on account of the tree of causality has to have a root. We call that uncaused root of causality God. The refutation requires that we accept that some events have causes and some don’t and oh well no idea to really know which is which. Since the entire scientific and engineering endeavor relies on events having causes, I find that conclusion philosophically unsatisfactory.

As a more serious and well-known concrete threat, this type of data is regularly aggregated by data brokers, and then used by stalkers and domestic abusers to commit crimes.

I imagine it being available and cheaply for sale is also a boon for various financial crimes/fraud.

It's not home depot specifically to be worried about knowing a little about you, but about them not being competent to control that data and everyone's little bit becoming a lot more significant and dangerous when combined.

edit: Also, the same type of information can easily be used later by government. I imagine if Uyghurs were not being specifically targeted by the Chinese government for cultural extermination there would be little trouble in their cultural identity being discernible from certain purchasing profiles. Once they are rounded up into camps, the last 15 years of detailed surveillance about them becomes very troublesome for them.
When they commit violence, you use the state's monopoly on violence to stop them. (Yeah, I agree it isn't always properly done.)

When they talk, you let them. And then you point out, very loudly, how factually wrong, logically insane, and morally bankrupt their position is.

You do this whether or not their position is predicated on violence. You respond to speech with speech.
The US does kidnap people but I’m not aware of evidence of Canada doing so. They did uphold their treaty obligations to extradite a corporate executive who had committed a crime under US law. She was arrested and is under house arrest now, I believe, while defending herself in open court. This is not a privilege she would be offered on anything resembling those circumstances in the PRC.
Wouldn't it be fun if, like some other image editors, GIMP would merge newly created text into the image and make the text non-editable? :) So much simpler!
I think you may be forgetting point in your history where you needed deliberate practice to get to where you are now. If you only ever choose between not playing and playing for fun, you will never get better. The transition to playing only for fun is the point where improving is now left to chance—not that you completely stop growing, but you become more entrenched in your existing practices and your skills crystallize at their current level.

The saying goes “practice makes permanent”.
I don't think you understand. From the perspective of a pro-lawsuit person, there can only be upside. If they lose the lawsuit, it's the same effectively as the status quo. The company will continue abusing your contribution. But if you win, you win. Similarly, if you scare off people that are not interested in open source values (ie. they're using open source only b/c people have convinced them that in practice it's better b/c they can offload maintenance of their code to the project), that's basically fine too.
So do you provide attribution to every MIT/BSD project you look at? Otherwise, you're also in risk of violating the copyright of the creator.

Generally, precision is pulled on-demand, as it is needed. If you compare two values as x < y, x and y will be evaluated to higher and higher precision until the answer is unambiguous. This can be an issue if the values are equal, since they often cannot be proven to be equal, so the evaluation may just outright fail to terminate.

> The community chose

The "community" chose to roll back a $40 million transaction that was very inconvenient for Vitalik. If he had instead said "code is law, and we stand by it" then ETC would never have existed in the first place. My point is, it was Vitalik's prerogative to reverse a million dollar transaction that he didn't like, a privilege reserved for the elite.

Beyond that, the community didn't really have a choice either way. By definition of owning ETH you are incentivized to (primarily) support whichever chain the creator says he will continue to support. What kind of choice is that? There is no "market" in the sense you speak of, ETH users are a captive audience.
The reason it doesn't make any sense is that its all a bunch of lies and excuses to start a war, its not like the US hasn't been barking up this tree for quite a while now.

And there were no weapons of mass destruction, all lies. It's public information but you'll have to search for it yourself because it will never be reported in the mainstream media, people might start asking the wrong questions.
> Now I keep my bedroom window open at all times.

I don't always keep the bedroom window open, but it's open enough, even in the middle of winter that it's not unusual. I feel way better sleeping with the window open than I do with it closed.
A lot of the disconnect here comes from the signalling aspect of getting a degree. It's not just that you're educated - otherwise companies would have more skills-based hiring - it's that you've proven willing to work through a dysfunctional system to get a fundamentally worthless piece of paper.

People willing to work through systems of that sort make for less disruptive employees.
It's the same cooperation problem regardless. GPL only works because enough people agree to respect the system that allows it to function. If no one payed lawyers to argue over licensing issues and no one supported courts in which to hear the arguments then the GPL would just be words on paper. Since we fundamentally live in a world where cooperation happens all the time I know that a utopian interpretation of this world is also possible. In fact, it's been my observation that people's willingness to cooperate increases as a function of societal excess, so if we are going to keep putting all our eggs in this maximize-production maximize-efficiency capitalist mindset that has taken hold in the last century it seems almost inevitable that natural cooperation will increase and we can rely less on codified regulations with the threat of force.
I worked in a mall as a teenager and rolled a big safe across the mall through the mall to a shared loading dock for the store owner.

Rent a cop guys blocked my way at the door challenged me, and I just said “Wtf does it look like I’m doing, I’m moving a safe, get that door!”

So they opened the door, and I rolled the safe into a white rental van and got in the passenger side without incident.

My definition of small is less than 50 people in total including salespeople, managers, implementations managers, and a few QA people.

It’s really not that hard to ask a few technical questions based on what they purport to know, the soft skill behavioral questions, some design questions, and ask them about previous projects. The hands on part is the part where they fix the code to make the unit tests pass.

I wasn’t asked a single technical coding question for my current job. I was given real world questions about issues they are having with process and how I would go about (re)architecting some processes.

Now that I think about, my job before that when I was interviewing for the dev lead position I was only asked about process, system design, and a lot of high level theory - both jobs were hands on coding positions. Both of the managers were highly technical with current programming experience.

But, I’m not completely disagreeing with you, if you are solving hard problems(tm) at scale you need people who understand algorithms and you may not be able to use off the shelf solutions - I would say Snapchat qualifies for “at scale”.

But, for you typical yet another software as a service CRUD app or your typical dark matter corporate developer - and those positions are a lot more numerous than HN seems to realize - the complications aren’t in the complexity of the code, it’s in translating the business needs to code and shipping software that the company needs.

As strange as it sounds, the “coding” side of software engineering has gotten a lot simpler 20 years into my career than it was when I started (C, C++, and a little x86 assembly). The “engineering” side has gotten a lot more complex and requires me to know a lot more technology.

I don’t think it’s because I am better “coder” now either. When I got my first job, I had already been a hobbyist for a decade doing assembly.
After reading more recent caselaw I think, in practical terms, the reason they attempted a Takings claim is because they wanted monetary damages, whereas because of the peculiar contours of sovereign immunity jurisprudence the remedy for an infringement claim would have at best been an injunction. And apparently more recent sovereign immunity caselaw has cast doubt in some circles on the ability to even get an injunction. I'd personally be surprised it that notion was ratified by SCOTUS, but clearly I haven't been keeping up so my opinion isn't worth much.

EDIT: Just this month SCOTUS agreed to take up the specific issue of sovereign immunity vs copyright: https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/allen-v-cooper/
I'm sure the robots are designed for something better than monitoring spills but they're only used for that. And most likely they won't be monitoring inventory any time soon.

Also, I don't understand why monitoring inventory has to be done this way, they already know what new inventory comes into the store and what goes out when the cashiers scan the items at checkout. Seems to me like the simplest solution is to subtract the two (actually a tiny bit more complicated than that since there's a running inventory). Just querying a database you can see what's on the shelves, what's expired, etc by tracking all the items virtually. And we're not talking about monitoring an amazon sized warehouse, it's just a supermarket..

Jose - I have done a few designs for my current employer using the BME280 for environmental sensing. I've found it a little sensitive to heat, both from the environment and itself. There's a good resource from K&R Smith[1] about comparing the sensor to others and there's some discussion about how to set up the sensor to minimize self-heating. Might be worth looking into!

Additionally, when I do my designs, I place the BME280 sensor as far away from other components as possible (I see it is close to a SOIC chip on your board) and I route a cutout in the board around the sensor to reduce any heat conduction from the board. I also ensure that I have no power planes on the little resulting "island" PCB, and use small traces (with local decoupling) to further reduce any conductive heat. See the image in [2] for an example of what I am talking about.

Another alternative I pursued in situations where convective heat was an issue is to stick the sensor on a little remote board and use an off-the-shelf wire to connect the two (check out the Sparkfun Qwiic wires[3])

Overall you want to increase airflow around the sensor as much as possible so leaving it "hanging out" somewhere is the best approach to getting accurate measurements.

I hope that helps!

You're absolutely right that SMS two-factor authentication isn't secure and that it is the default on Twitter [0].

IIRC at the time I was going to setup two-factor authentication on my device (and to this day), I had an issue with the camera where I could not scan a QR code. On most other platforms I am able to enter in the secret code for my authentication app manually. On Twitter (not sure if this is still true) they did not provide the secret code for me to enter manually.
