Thanks. One part of the article is false, the payments at kmfusa.com are going through.

I will say the standard two e-mails they send aren't being sent. They sent the "Kia Motors Finance Payment Authorization" from speedpay.com, but have not sent the "Thank You - Your Payment Has Been Processed" email from KMFUSA@servicing.kmfusa.com.cname.campaign.adobe.com yet. Odd. Money was taken out of my checking account.
I don't follow the author's argument at all. Let's say the restriction on binding to port 80 was removed - in the example provided of 50 users all wanting to run Wordpress, how does that work? 50 processes (especially from different users) can't all bind to the same socket, and the use of nonstandard ports is _explicitly_ rejected ("everyone has to enter your site's web address with a stupid :### at the end of the host name").

Perhaps you should pay less attention to VCs and more attention to governments and academic institutions, who for example in Canada are investing 10s of millions of dollars into AI ethics/FATE/AI for good research.

You seem to have an already strongly formed opinion on the topic, and it seems it would be very hard for people to have you even acknowledge that they may have valuable diverging views.

Starting from that point, what do you expect from a discussion? What kind of information would lead you to think again about the situation?
Part of their USD reserves were frozen by regulators in Poland and Portugal. It is debatable whether having funds frozen by regulators can be de accurately described as sustaining "massive financial losses". Sure, they could have been more transparent about what was going on. But so far, it seems that all their issues originate from regulators making it impossible for them to run a legitimate business, not fraudulent intentions (which is what they are often accused of).
This is the boat I'm in. And even if you do "everything right" and have snapshots before & after every update, you still need to actually debug why the update failed in the first place. So even then, LTS releases would be a greatly appreciated feature.

The settlement agreement shows that at multiple points Tether was not backed: https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/2021.02.17_-_settlemen...

I think the best case is tether printed usdt, used it to buy btc, inflated the btc price and is now fully backed by their btc holdings. This works as long as people want btc

They were able to do it because people accepted usdt as dollars.

This is my problem with it as well. I used to have a self hosted nextcloud instance, but my main usage was for the file syncing. Nextcloud seems to be poor to decent at everything it does, but never great. So unless your goal is to have a suite of mediocre appliances that do the bare minimum, nextcloud is good. But all I wanted was a nice and quick way to sync all my files (I'm talking 500k files here) and have some sort of versioning in case I fuck up, so I moved to syncthing.
The solution is also announced in cleartext, so you can check against previous solutions.
To add on, it's news that Google acquired a studio (Typhon Studios) a little over a year ago, then shut down that entire company, leaving a large amount of bugs unfixed. Some people may not know that Typhon Studios was acquired by Google, especially given that the game also had been released on consoles and PC.

My parents have had a smart water heater since 1988. It was interesting a few years back hearing a politician talk about how bad smart meters were - he had to make it clear that the smart meter 80% of the room had for 20 years were nothing like the smart meters he was talking about. (which is to say the ones he was against gave minute by minute reports with the privacy concerns, the ones everyone had just turned the water heater and AC units off/on - I'll let you decide if the issue was real or not)

"Information is learned when you can explain it and use it in a wide variety of situations."

This is also my technique (I don't think it's only Feynman's, I've come across it from various sources). If I get stuck or confused when explaining something to someone then it's clear to me that I've to learn more about the matter even before the person I'm explaining it to does.

I reckon I've got the gist of something when I've learned about something or some phenomena in one field then recognize similar in some very different endeavor and then put the fact to some use there.

Every time I've tried to shortcut and cram or rote learn from textbooks I either fail the exam or do badly in it. I wish there were a shortcut, if there is, then I've yet to find it.
A thing I've been noticing is that PaaS companies (e.g. Netlify, Cloudflare, Heroku) are shipping tools that let you test locally on your own machine. The experience is unmatched. I'd bet it's what led Google to (attempt to) do the same thing for Firebase, although I've noticed as well that their emulation is still off.

Overall, I hope this is a trend that continues. The fact that these things are sometimes baked into their clients, which are usually freely licensed and developed in the open, available for patching, is something that hugely eliminates some of the lock-in risk associated with building on top of platforms. Worst case scenario? The company either goes out of business, deprecates some corner of its platform that you're relying on, or becomes prohibitively expensive to use, so you spin up a VPS and daemonize the client. This doesn't work for large projects, but for anything that is relatively small (but not so small as to characterize the development costs as trivial), it's sufficient.
Tether and Bitfinex agree to pay $18.5m penalty after New York probe
True, and this is a nice tool to do so.
Adelaide to Darwin is a cakewalk in comparison. The Stuart Highway is fully paved, excellently maintained, and has roadhouses every 100 km or so. It's completely doable by a regular sedan or campervan, and if you run into any trouble, there's enough traffic that you won't be left in a lurch.

That said, there is still a whole lotta nothing along the way, and you still need to keep your eyes peeled or you'll run into wildlife or get flattened by a road train. It'll also be extra tedious if you can't alternate driving with somebody else.

i guess you are right that potential employees will consider this behaviour in their calculations. for the most part by adjusting their salary demands with an additional "risk adjustment bonus". as the FAANG can easily swallow that additional cost and are still incredibly attractive i doubt there will be a big effect besides loosing some value-oriented people. i doubt this will make a difference numbers-wise. nonetheless i applaud employees sharing their view of a companies inner workings for us others to have more information to make an informed decision themselves - yeah transparency
Seems like you're trying to solve a people problem with a technology solution. The simple solution is to set an agreement with the team to have a 'single source of truth' for comments. Continue to use your task manager of choice, but solve the 'human behavior challenge' with a human solution, (e.g., "Ok team, let's all agree to put any and all comments in <place x>")

there is an interesting a strategy on page 23 where they suggest shifting the entire hand when typing TGB/YHN rather than stretching. Does anyone do that today?

I just tried a bit of typing where I shift the entire hand for appropiate keys rather than stretching my fingers and although it is a very unusual feeling I must admit it is quite a bit more comfortable. The fingers stay curled rather than being stretched out. Did I just get an epiphany from typewriting tutorial written in 1894??

One of the core issues in AI ethics, really the core issue currently, is that any product you launch or service you run will be found by some subset of the population to unfairly favor certain groups of people. No amount of research will allow Google to build a model so neutral everyone has to agree with it, because people want different things and have different ideas and assumptions about what's fair. As they found in 2019 with their AI ethics board, even basic ideas like "let's listen to everyone" are subject to this dilemma, because some groups feel that it's unfair to listen to other groups.
No points for partial credit?? Well... if you believe that, then that makes Bitcoin suspect as well as its consensus mechanism is essentially already broken by the practical concentration of mining power in a single country with an authoritarian central government.

EDIT: Anyone using an online wallet is already compromising trustlessness. Heck, using common software packages that you didn’t personally inspect is also compromising trustlessness. But does this matter in practicality? Yes (such online wallets and even sometimes soft wallets have been compromised or have lost coins occasionally), but not enough to necessarily get rid of all of the utility of cryptocurrency.

No, there should be no moral relativism to get Tether out of the hook. It doesn't matter if they manipulated the market by one or one hundred billion dollars, they are a bad actor in the space that we must get rid of.
Where can you find data on sell volumes? This seems very material.
Reddit is the only all encompassing hobbyist forum still remaining on the internet.

I follow my favorite youtubers on their subreddit. I have spent countless hours discussing manga, cars, soccer, politics (in a civil way), find prog bands, food science and so much more.

I can say this confidently: "None of those activities would be as much fun if I did not have my fellow redditors to enjoy it with."

The main subreddits are trash, but that's the point. Reddit might just be able to rapidly scale up to letting normies in, without letting the first-adopters feel like reddit has lost its charm. Specifically, there will be 2 reddits. One would be the front page with a tiktok-esque stream of memes, outrage and short videos; and the other would be the niche subreddits that function similarly to hacker news in terms of strict moderation and deliberate inaccessibility.

Now I am not sure if this genius of reddit is intentional or if the founders stumbled into what is probably the only survival plan for a business where scaling up inevitably leads to a huge drop in the value proposition of the platform itself.

Conde Nast made an incredible acquisition; and not having the market pressures of a public company might have something to do with Reddit's success.

Reddit is also THE PLACE on the internet for the best surreal humour and organic decentralized art as social experiences. Subreddits like r/196, r/2meirl42meirl4meirl and r/kenm are completely inaccessible without knowing the meta-story around them, but have me rolling on the floor like nothing else. r/place is the most well known reddit decentralized art experience, but r/hqg, and r/youdontsurf create humor and art from a constrained format that can be so meta that the entire front page could be purely self-referential.
I hadn't seen the SEN format before. I would like the keys unquoted as far as possible, but the commas kept in and otherwise also to keep it 100% Javascript-compatible and usable to cut and paste it into Javascript code.

> Were people as excited about programming for punch cards as they are today writing javascript for the web? (For example)

My school didn't have a computer (in 1979) but the insurance company down the road did. So in our programming class we punched our cards and the teacher took them to the company. Next week, we would get a list of our compile errors - or occasionally - output an actual run. I can't now remember the language (I suspect some sort of basic) or the programs that I wrote. But I do remember being excited. This was the future!

That said when I started a programming course at University I was massively pleased that we had actual terminals (or 'new fangled glass teletypes' as they were sometimes referred to. We had actual teletypes (keyboard and a roll of paper, no screen) for APL programming as they were the only keyboards with the APL character set.
I find them to be close enough to imperceptible for just normal html and css etc.

It may be difficult to get to happen in your relationship, because at least for me, my partner is insistent on using non-stick pans. If you have to have non-stick, ceramic or hard anodized are much healthier than teflon, although they aren't as non-stick so require some adjustments to cooking style.

The best things to use are cast-iron and cladded stainless steel. With both, you heat the pan more slowly to reach your appropriate temperature (you're looking for leidenfrost) and then you add oil, and cook. If you use healthy oils and heat before adding the oil, cast-iron is effectively non-stick once a seasoning develops and cladded stainless steel won't stick except with specific foods (eggs). But this is definitely a different methodology for cooking than most people are familiar with.

The other benefit of using non-teflon pans is you can use all types of utensils.
Sure, but the impact of a mass casualty event like 9/11 is not limited to people who knew the victims. Even though COVID-19 kills more Americans daily than the 9/11 attacks did, 9/11 has a comparable social impact because to most Americans it was an unanticipated, unprecedented act of human violence and we didn't know what to expect moving forward.
I’m afraid I don’t have comprehensive notes, but it’s not very complicated or new (perhaps disappointingly). Maintain a lowish bodyfat (10-15% for males, I think 20-30% for females), consume sufficient nutrients (including non-famous ones like k2) but lower-than-you’d-think calories, get enough but maybe not too much sleep, minimise stress, avoid endocrine disrupters (though if memory serves evidence here is thin), cold and hot treatments both have potential benefits (e.g suana), exercise is good (both aerobic and resistance). Fasting and/or low carb can improve the efficacy of radiotherapy in cancer treatment. Things like that.
> Even if everything alleged were true, it really wouldn't be a drop in the bucket compared to the kind of shenanigans central banks have been pulling for centuries. If the crypto-currency market is illegitimate due to money printing by Tether, then so is the conventional financial system due to quantitive easing by the Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world.

Man, I find it endlessly amusing that cryptocurrency utopians touted the benefits of BTC based on how it will democratize finance and finally remove the yoke of corrupt governments manipulating currencies and markets to their benefit.

And then when a private company like Tether comes along and starts engaging in shenanigans in this cryptoanarchist libertarian fantasy land, all of a sudden the whataboutisms pop out and the excuse is "well... whatever dude, like, the government does this, too!"
