What's the best way for a hacker to understand legal requirements?

I'm building in crypto, where KYC/AML become the primary challenges for building interesting things, the tech is the easy part.

I typically bootstrap, try to find product-market fit, then grow. But with the legal challenges, it significantly raises the barrier to entry.

As someone who is a project-based learner, used to diving into the deep end, and figuring everything out — what's the equivalent of that in law? Reading old cases? Reading guidelines from the government? With tech so many people say things that aren't true, then you can go try them for yourself and verify — how do you do this in law?
I sometimes teach macro writing basics at work, with exercises -- writing this macro is always Exercise One.

It is a common pitfall to write non-readable content in a comment expression, which can certainly be confusing to newcomers who are used to less stringent multiline comments like /* ... */ or triple-quoted strings in Python.
Targeting is always harmful. Even if it had no unintended side effects, it would make ads more effective and thus more harmful.
> If tech helps me build 10x the number of widgets, should all of that surplus value only be captured by the technology owners?

idk about the owners specifically, but I think it's fair that the lion's share of the gains go to the people who made it happen. in this example at least, the widget maker didn't do anything to increase their productivity.
I apologize for being slightly off topic but there is a Covid study that came out just a couple of days ago that has been criminally ignored by the media. You can read it here:

https://investors.chromadex.com/news/news-details/2020/Chrom...

It shows that Nicotinamide-Riboside (sold as TruNiagen) with a couple of common vitamins reduced time to recovery by about 30%. This is about the same result as the much touted remdesivir.

But while remdesivir is a very serious and expensive drug with serious side effects that has to be administered in a hospital setting under the oversight of a physician, TruNiagen is sold as an over the counter anti-ageing supplement, costs about $1.30 for a daily dose and there are no known adverse side effects (AFAIK, and according to the label).

Of course the two things aren't exclusive, you can take both remdesivir and truniagen. Furthermore, the truniagen study was a phase 2 study with 100 patients with mild to moderate symptoms, while remdesivir has been studied for a lot more patients and more seriously ill patients too. (There was no mortality data on the truniagen study, it seems that everyone survived.)

Nevertheless, 100 patients is plenty to make the study statistically significant. And considering how low the cost of actually taking truniagen is, I think this study is really important and really positive news in the fight against covid.

Again, it is criminal that the media is ignoring it. Truniagen is made by a small company with negligible advertising budget, while other Covid drugs and vaccines are made by massive pharma companies that regularly spend enormous amounts of money on mass media advertising. So perhaps this has something to do with this.
Edge computing is opening a door to the metaverse
How do the type systems of F# and Ocaml differ? I'm trying to decide which I should learn over the next months. I don't need many libraries or anything, the decision is rather made regarding the language and tools themselves.
> But that misses the whole point: no other scholar was able to embed a theory of evolution into the scientific body of knowledge.

Not even Alfred Russell Wallace?
> but the simplest is that we don't know who the high-risk groups are

We absolutely do. We have such a wealth of data and the signal is very strong.

> That paper doesn't consider reinfection risk or non-fatal outcomes.

That's because reinfection is extremely rare and risk for non-fatal outcomes is typical of other influenza like illnesses. An interesting note is that many / most people have some sort of cross-protection through T-cell immunity (likely from other coronaviruses).

> We don't even know if herd immunity is actually possible

Yes we do. Pretty much every disease tails off. The only debate right now is where this threshold is at for various jurisdictions. It is likely as low as 20%. The 60% number quoted early in the pandemic was assuming homogenous population with equal susceptibility and perfect mixing.

> This paper is a similar (if slightly more mathematically detailed) approach, and is more recent: https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/09/21/2008087117. It comes to the opposite conclusion. What they find is that while it's technically possible to achieve herd immunity this way, it's logistically unfeasible.

All models are wrong but some are useful. If this model cannot explain real data from cities and countries (eg: stockholm, UK locales) then it is relatively useless.
Have you not heard of "How to change your Mind" by Michael Pollan? Or the Research of Roland Griffiths? https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C24&q=rol...

This isn't usually a problem, since so many people use .io, .tv, etc., but Warren's site uses a Chinese TLD.
Last week, there was a march of about a thousand people in my city, many of them 'vulnerable' (ie elderly), packed tight, no masks to be seen, protesting about the COVID 'hoax'. That seems harmful, potentially _very_ harmful.

The other day I was at the supermarket, and one of them was trying to get in with no mask, shouting in the face of an employee about masks being a conspiracy.
user5994461 says"If training with wood weapons is any indication, the one with a stick variant loose everytime, they can hit but they get closed upon anyway and stabbed/slashed."

A wood mock up of a sword would, of course, not be as useful against an iron sword (especially if deployed in a sword-like manner) as would a 6-foot staff of hickory. What kind of "wood weapon" are you speaking of? Are you speaking in the context of some "dojo" or some style of martial art?

One problem with dojo drills is that the opponent must "hold back" due to possibility of injury. Also, in a dojo, only one style (e.g., use of the rapier) is usually being taught: not unsurprisingly all other styles somehow fail to measure up. There are many reasons for this: unskilled users, absence of in-house expert ("sensei", "master", etc.) in the opposing style, the power of suggestion.

Don't confuse choreographed drills in a dojo with a real fight/battle. Some dojos sell the belief that their weapon of choice (longsword, rapier, long staff, Klingon Bat'Leth, short staff, firearm, knife, bare hands, etc.) is the "one and true" weapon that will protect you against all comers. But they'can't all be dominant in all situations and that is part of what Silvers' "Paradoxes of Defense" says.

In a real fight the pole cracks skulls, breaks legs and arms and is thrust into mouths, noses, eyes and necks before an opponent's blade can reach the poler. A "stick", as you call it, can be as long but is likely quicker than the sword, cannot be easily damaged by the sword and as Silvers summarizes, is superior in battle.

Pictures of men wearing gambesons show exposed faces and limbs. The gambeson likely lowers mobility (and might be uncomfortably warm). It resembles a bulletproof vest, most which spend their time in the closet. And, as you may know, a man with a knife can make short work of a man in or out of a bulletproof vest (there are gaps).
Essentially. Which is why unionization is such an important process---it binds the supply-demand curve so that employers are forced to allocate the resources more equitably. Supply suddenly dries up if nobody's willing to work for you because you won't pay a living wage (let alone a decent wage).
I think HN discussions have always been focusing on developer/business side of things but people don't realize that users - they don't care what happens in the backend. They care about the experience and Apple delivers, and then some.

I think Apple's 30% can be debated but a vanishingly small slice of users know this and care about it, millions of users just want to do their thing with beautiful ease and experience.
Not to discredit the great work all these people did but not all exploits are created equally. Generally speaking the bug bounty amount is directly correlated to the blast radius of the exploit.
It's not so much the company, as it is the state tax agencies.

"Peaceful protests", the GJ have been taking major cities hostages every weekend for a year now (with some Covid pause). It's gone way beyond reasonable now

And yes, Covid is an exceptional situation and the limitations need to be obeyed. "Wrongly punished" is AIs opinion.
Some would, yes.
Reducing the problems to one person/party is disingenuous. In recent history we have data on all major political parties and their work on improving the scientific ecosystem. The problem is much deeper than one person.
That seems more-or-less intuitively plausible, but I often find missing from these discussions, is the aggregate employers' contribution to health insurance plans. If, for example, my employer's contribution to my health insurance premiums go up $500/month - I am going home with $6000 less that year. Now, they probably don't cut my wages, but it's pretty easy to see how they might be frozen for a few years.
I don’t see it that way. Genesis doesn’t mention the creation of earth, stars get created after there’s land and water on earth, there’s light with days and nights before stars, the sun and moon are equally old, fruit-bearing plants are created before sea life, and water plants aren’t mentioned at all.

I think it’s about you can expect from randomly picking fragments, and throwing away variants that do not hold up to simple scrutiny such as “but what do these animals eat?” or “if there’s no water yet, where do these fish live?”.

About the only thing it gets truly right is the creation of water life before land life.
Doctors are a government-subsidized cartel! (In most places)

They fix the number of Doctors, and, the government usually provides substantial support for education and training.

So not a very good example!

But it's moot - on the 'low end' of wages, basically 40% of the population, people have 0 bargaining power - it's always been like that.

The 'free market' minimum wage would be ~2$ an hour. People would be living in favelas without electricity (or it would be stolen), no healthcare, no car, borderline subsistence living. An entire economy would pop up around that - instead of the 'Dollar store' you'd have the '25 cent' store.

Which is why every advanced nation has minimum wage laws.

The question is though - how much of the 'productivity gains' are from better labour in any ways?

Say for example a company hums along, and in an era of globalization is able to sell 5x more product, yielding really great surpluses. So the investors and execs start to get rich, the staffers get paid the same relatively speaking to inflation, their boat is possibly not lifted but stays the same. They are doing the same work, with the same skills etc..

That's more likely what is happening - labour used to be a commodity, but it's even more of a commodity now.

There are no easy solutions but minimum wage should possibly be hire, the jobs that can't be done at that price should go to Mexico to help that economy develop so they can be purchasers of American exports. Something like that.

If the late 1965's minimum wage of $1.25 was paid out in 1964 quarters, then it would be worth $22 today based on the melt value of those quarters.
There is also a similar and very good project funded by the URSAAF and the DGFiP (the two main entities in the french tax system) : https://publi.codes

IMO (I am not part of this project) it is more interesting as it is language agnostic, easy to use for everyone (based on yaml) and more importantly, it is starting to be implemented in the government actual tax computing system.

We are using it in a challenger bank I started.

I have hundreds of Facebook friends. I read their posts or add my own posts perhaps twice a day. 90% are status updates and/or photos of what they are up to. I find it extremely useful. It's a micro-blogging service. When did this moniker "social media" come into being? What does that even mean? I should say that I have everything except direct posts disabled - including all "shares" and all ads - and that's why to me it's just a micro-blogging site.

Hi Peter, thank you for taking the time to do this.

I'm a Master's student on an F-1 visa thinking about starting a company in the US. I previously did my undergraduate degree here as well.

1. Are there any restrictions to doing so while still a full-time student? E.g. would I be able to form an LLC while still a student?

2. Is there a way to use the STEM extension if you are self-employed? I've seen contradictory information on this.

3. If the answer to 2. is No, what would be the best visa to try to transition to after the first 12 months of OPT? O-1, E-1, or H1-B? Or something else entirely?
If efficiency has gone up why hasnt rent gone down?

Since rent has been pushed up by political means why not wages?

Also, why are we assuming that technology brought down wages when offshoring has skyrocketed. What makes you think it wasn't competition from the third world labor rather than robots? There is a political position embedded in the assumption that robots are responsible for the missing jobs.
I respect your opinion and you have the right to defend any non-monopoly or even a monopoly, that is your basic human right, just know that Apple is not a non-monopoly, we are not looking and talking about worldwide market share, since Apple is based in the U.S. and answers to the U.S. courts, so you have to look at the U.S. market share, which quite in fact to no one's surprise is monopolistic (over 50%)

. See Hayden Publ'g Co., Inc. v. Cox Broad. Corp., 730 F.2d 64, 69 n.7 (2d Cir. 1984) ("[A] party may have monopoly power in a particular market, even though its market share is less than 50%."); Broadway Delivery Corp. v. UPS, 651 F.2d 122, 129 (2d Cir. 1981) ("[W]hen the evidence presents a fair jury issue of monopoly power, the jury should not be told that it must find monopoly power lacking below a specified share."); Yoder Bros., Inc. v. Cal.-Fla. Plant Corp., 537 F.2d, 1347, 1367 n.19 (5th Cir. 1976) (rejecting "a rigid rule requiring 50% of the market for a monopolization offense without regard to any other factors").

And even IF Apple has not the dominant market share (which it does), it can still be engaged in anti-competitive practices, which it is currently being trialed for.

And last but not least, we (be it me as a consumer, Epic as a company, or Spotify) are not asking Apple to play by our own rules, but by the rules of LAW.

I feel like a lot of people are missing this point, this is the reason Epic is taking Apple to court, not because it won't play to Epic's rules but because of free market rules on which this country has been built.
To be fair, Cambridge Analytica was just betting on idiots willingly granting access to their Facebook accounts and the data they ended up gathering was these people's social graph and had nothing to do with ad targeting.
It's true, but unless your strategy to is to deplatform a viewpoint, adding context is very powerful. Just read the NYT or the Washington Post when they talk about foreign countries and how bad they are. Sometimes they present innocuous facts and you think they're the devil.
Amazon wants to open up S3 API for now. I guess my point is launching products with S3 API combability I feel is a legal liability if Oracles wins the case.

I was specifically implying block storage solutions that offer S3 API combability (i.e. use our AWS S3 competitor with matching S3 API).

Elon Musk's Perspective on Learning
It is the percentage of the market price that the customer paid, not what developer got. You're twisting this.

Think about it this way - if Apple was not in the middle, the developer would have received $100. So it is 30% less than what they would have received without Apple cut.

Show HN: CState – open-source static status pages (and looking for maintainers)
Exactly.. I was just thinking about making an adblocker that loads the actual ads in a fake environment, it could really simulate the ad industry to look for other ways because it costs them too much money.
You'd get used to it very quickly. Like you got used to TV and film, which differ substantially from an in-person view in many ways.
Some of you might just like the project for what it is :)

But in terms of maintainers/contributors: Do you like the idea? Have you worked with Hugo and its templating quirks, with Netlify, and other things of this kind? Please get in touch -- especially with Hacktoberfest it feels like it's harder to do my duty of maintaining everything without a little help.
Related : the french administration has built a custom language for another big set of tax rules, those that dictate our social security system (which collects 500 billons of € / year)

It's presented on https://publi.codes but unfortunately we've not translated it yet. The language keywords themselves are in french, by design, to bridge the law and its official implementation. It's not yet used to compute taxes, just to simulate them on the official mon-entreprise.fr website.

The "code" expressed in YAML is parsed to build the computation model (in TypeScript), to document this model on the Web (each variable has a Web page) and to generate typeform-like forms.

It's in the https://github.com/betagouv/mon-entreprise monorepo, but it's also used to implement a model of our personnal climate impact, here : https://github.com/betagouv/ecolab-data/tree/master/data

Et bravo Denis :)

Edit : in case you didn't know, the french adminstration's code must by law be made public. This is just the beginning, expect lots of similar projects ! You can browse some repos here https://code.etalab.gouv.fr
You can do first-party tracking where every ad would link to your website with a different query parameter (https://example.com?campaign_id=XYZ).

You then just count the number of purchases from each campaign, compare that with the amount you spent on that campaign and there's your ROI.
Man, how did the Internet even exist before ads?

Not very often, for me. I used to consciously avoid them.

Nowadays on search engines knowing that they're likely spending a dollar or two to reach me, I'll click to test the veracity of their targetting. If they're going to bid for people searching from X in country Y, they'll be needing an ROI and providing I'm genuinely interested in whatever X is, the ad is no problem.

Esperanto is not a romance language. It incorporates elements from most european languages families (balto-slavic, germanic, romance), and the grammar is most particularly inspired by slavic languages.

And it was pretty much a goal of its creator to be both familiar and foreign for different european language families, as he had experienced division in Poland between speakers of those different families and wanted to have something more universal to gather them all together.

It doesn't get you a CDL but it gives you the experience needed to get a CDL with a tiny bit of book study and a truck to borrow and without incurring a bunch of debt or becoming an indentured servant to Swift of similar.

Someone who's day job is dicking around in an M911 will be able to get a CDL with minimal effort compared to some rando off the street and they will likely be able to skip the "spend a few years holding a steering wheel for a dry van and get treated like crap by dispatch" part of the truck driver career progression.
Well, any way you slice it - through unionization or through legislation - a $24/hour minimum wage is just going to mean massive unemployment, not 3x more money in everybody's paycheck.
