That sort of investment is 'parking' money. It is parked somewhere to either act a conduit moving from owner to owner (which can be laundering). Or just to park it and not lose much value until better opportunities arise as a good hedge against inflation. Renting can be a pain as anyone who has got a bad tenant will tell you. That the Chinese are/were speculating in this way is not too big of a stretch (but is an assumption) as they have whole cities are that are basically big empty apartment cities.

In my opinion, "patient risk" is often used as an excuse by vendors (and some hospitals) to slow walk patching and testing. I can understand the motivation, it saves them money and they can wait until there's more patches to test and do them all at once.

>> Properly laundered money should be extremely difficult to tell from legitimate business.

Fine point: The goal is not to make it indistinguishable from legitimate business. Rather it is to keep it distinguishable from illegitimate business long enough that police look elsewhere.

The money launderer isn't trying to hid as a legitimate profit-seeking business. The goal is to add so many layers that the burden of investigation dissuades prosecution. So they aren't going to setup false cash-based storefronts so as to mix the bad money with the good (ie the laundromat joke in Archer). Such concrete actions are too dangerous. What they will do is bounce money across as many jurisdictions as possible. There may be no legitimate reason for doing this but they aren't really trying to seem legitimate. They just want to look like a very difficult target so that the cops will go after easier prey. That burden increase is more effective and less dangerous than the lies required to hide.
Has it been established what percentage of foreign buyers are money laundering, and by whose laws?
This comes off as wishful thinking. You don't want it to be true that outside entities could use money and propaganda to influence your country, so therefore it isn't true. Also, responding to a comprehensive report about the ACLJ's work to influence Poland by just saying basically "no it didn't" isn't a very compelling argument.
Hi there,

Thanks, you're probably right that it's not only depth being a factor in this. I think we both over-simplified as these are logarithmic ratios, not linear.

On to speculation: the interaction between the waves and the ocean floor may be hitting one, of many, of these magic numbers in this scenario. It's possible two periods of waves interact to cause this 26s interval, since waves are always grouped. Also, consider how the waves may have combinatorial feedback loops due to stokes drift (doppler effect) in deeper water.

It's frustrating the latest research on microeism seems to be from the 50's. There's very few resources describing what happens to waves as they move from shallow to deeper water.

> We realised SRE is bottle neck for product teams

It isn’t clear what to do at this point. Embedding is one way, I don’t prefer it personally. My current employer keeps the teams separate but they expose platforms that other teams consume. Teams have a runner who’s responsible for helping other teams and responding to timely issues. Run is a rotation, not a permanent role.

I think this is a good way, but it might require a bigger size company/tech org than “non FAANG” implies.

Gold has intrinsic value based on the industrial and jewelry uses: you could lose a lot more over the industrial demand point but it won’t go below that point because people use it for things other than speculation.

In contrast, random hashes have no value outside of a particular community consensus. You can’t do anything with them and the ones in the Bitcoin blockchain have no more inherent value than those in any other network.

> (Because they don't want to rent it out, they only want to pretend that intend to do so.)

Louis Rossmann has a semi-recent YT video exploring one hypothesis: landlords have mortgages that contain clauses in then which specify that if rents have to be a certain amount, and if they drop too much then that means the property value must have dropped.

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdfmMB1E_qk

And if the property value has dropped, perhaps bringing the mortgage closer to being underwater, then the bank may want the landowner to put more equity in it so that adds to the bank's cushion.

And landowners don't want to put more of their own money into a leveraged investment, so they'd rather just deal with the carrying costs rather than trigger an 'equity event'.

The hypothesis was originally put forward in a Reddit comment:

My grandfather was similar. He learned to code in the 1980s on a Commodore 64 when he was in his 60s, built HAM radio gear, etc. My father who is now in his 60s is also an exception, so hopefully for my sake it runs in families.

These are exceptions though. Statistically most people do stop learning as they age, and from what I've observed I would tend to suspect it is due to motivational decline more than decline in actual ability (barring dementia or other issues).

To run with the example, GPT-3 is obviously not self-aware, and therefore cannot feel pain or have a sense of self.

But what if we change that? Run a recurrent GPT-3 instance where (a) some of its prompt input is a description of the current state of its own process, system, and environs, (b) the prompt defines certain of these stimuli as "painful" and to be avoided (and others "joyful" and to be sought out), and (c) the prompt instructs GPT-3 to respond as an individual experiencing these phenomena.

What then visibly/measurably differentiates this "self-aware" GPT-3 server from any other conscious entity? Or is consciousness necessarily not visible/measurable and thus unscientific?

Moreover -- what if consciousness is easy to create, simply by meeting the requirements of self-awareness, and ability to experience and respond to qualia? Having a tool like GPT-3, which can compute how existing conscious beings might react to any given qualia, just makes such an artificial consciousness more intelligent and relatable.
Why would a launderer buy an overpriced apt in Vancouver when they could by something sensibly priced elsewhere? Maybe its easier if there are agents that speak foreign languages, but I'd hate to own a $2mil 2br apartment as a safe haven for my money stash.
It's strange in that my floor number changes depending on what language you are using. For systems that parse addresses into a structured format it's a real problem, as they need to ensure they are rendered into the original language.

(Unless you are identified as an instructor for the lesson — in which case they've asked by attending — the same rule applies in the lesson, too.)

No, Hacker News encourages disagreement and well reasoned criticism.

I mean to say, communities that seek to institute blanket no-criticism policies, in practice tend to end up criticizing those outside of the community and allow any beliefs or statements of people inside the community to go unchallenged and unexamined.

In other words, it just leads to more tribalism and in-group vs. out-group bias.

I’ve found returning a tuple with my validation functions to be very helpful.

let [isValid, err] = validate(data)

It’s nice for a few reasons:

1. I know anything returned `err` is safe to display back to the user

2. Using the array (as opposed to an object) can allow me to name the values when I destructure so it can be used multiple times in the same block with useful naming.

3. I can destructure just the first half `[isValid]` if that’s all I care about.

4. More generally it helps keep the code readable. Other control flows might rely on some casting, assumptions, or exceptions but this way presents a nice customizable api for users writing the code, and a readable api for those reviewing the code.

Yes, and the Canadian military is very good at it. The fact that your reaction upon reading on it is incredulity and denial is proof enough at how good they are.

Keep in mind that "propaganda" does not necessarily mean nefarious. Almost all countries use propaganda, and I'd argue that most corporations use it too.

Error translating "Context" to Korean... timeout.
This looks pretty great. Our SAAS product was initially based on Firebase, but we're in the process of migrating to almost the same stack that you are offering (but hosted on Heroku) as firebase is quite limiting

Some feedback:

- Have you considered offering compute? The ability to run a proper backend would be a dealbreaker for me. Not having a backend is advertised as simpler but in my experience it's the opposite, especially when integrating mobile apps that have a long lag time on updates. You simply don't get enough flexibility for complex tasks, even with something like Hasura. Heroku offers docker containers with fixed resources that might be a good way to go. If you could offer some kind of managed container service that allowed me to share resources between all my containers then even better. Maybe you could build something on / offer a managed version of https://github.com/dokku/dokku ?

- Managed Redis or some other in-memory caching service would also be super useful. This is really important for scaling efficiently.

- Do you have any kind of availability / durability guarantees? This is super important for us at $DAYJOB as we provide similar guarantees to our clients.

- Pricing seems reasonable, although a tier between Pro and Enterprise or a more "pay what you use" plan might be a good. We'd probably just about fit into the "Pro" tier for now but would be needing the Enterprise tier soon. We're currently paying more than the cost of the enterprise tier. However, that covers the cost of compute in addition to our databases and storage.
You have a point. I might be wrong about this.

As hospitals around the country race to the bottom, I'm not sure where a qualified IT team to manage these systems is going to come from. I don't think hospitals can afford them anymore.

I worked in hospital IT and it was a tough environment: it seemed like we had at least one big system rollout (EMR, radiology, lab, etc.) every year. It was difficult to manage when the hospital was paying a little below median for the area, now they are way below that where I live (western MA).
