This is a terrible scam, but I am astonished by the frivolity with which people would move life-changing amounts of money into something with absolutely no due diligence. When I took on a financial advisor I verified their identity with the govt regulator, verified their written bank details over the phone, and then verified those details with my bank before I even considered sending a single penny. Even then I sent a small test amount, and waited for a written receipt before sending anything more. To dump 500 grand into something you heard about 10 minutes ago on Twitter seems beyond ridiculous to me. This is an amazing example of the old adage “a fool and his money are easily parted”.
No there isn't.

Technology knowledge is extremely ephemeral and easily lost once you stop using it because so much of it is "tacit knowledge" that is only preserved by active use and passed by mentorship/apprenticeship.

We've lost many technologies this way. In some cases like FOGBANK and the recent B2 bomber heat exchange system, there was enough incentive to reconstruct it from scratch at great cost. For most lost technologies, that incentive will never exist. If you are very, very lucky, some other country will maintain it by continuing to manufacture it.

This is a major reason why "bringing manufacturing back to the US" is so hard. We literally lack the technology/knowledge context as a society to do that most of the time. It's like pondering a semiconductor fab project in Chad or Sudan!

Otherwise it becomes like pyramids and monoliths that some "moderns" can't imagine came from anything other than space aliens! "They couldn't have made anything like that back then because we can't do it today."
I'm no tax expert, but as far as I know, 2017's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) made it possible for companies like Apple to repatriate money held by overseas subsidiaries without paying US taxes on it. It did so by exempting foreign earnings from US tax via a 100% deductible on dividends received from foreign subsidiaries. It also levied a one-time tax, payable over 8 years, on money earned by foreign subsidiaries prior to the TCJA, regardless of whether the companies actually repatriated that money. This is called "deemed repatriation" and you can see it in Apple's quarterly reports.

Long story short, investing in renewable energy might have some tax benefits for Apple, but I don't think it has much (if anything) to do with repatriating overseas cash.
For about $1000 you can get Instagram and Facebook verified accounts so I imagine Twitter is even cheaper/easier to do so.

Moderation is essential for usable communities. These block lists are a form of moderation to make Mastodon useful. Otherwise it's pushed on to the user, many of whom will just nope out back to Reddit or Facebook, or to the Mastodon server administrators, who are largely unpaid volunteer labor.
HN is not about downvoting things one disagrees with but rather posts that do not add anything to the discussion.

Same holds for upvoting, many times I upvoted posts I did not agree with but that raised interesting observations on the topic discussed.

This is what makes HN great in my opinion.
Thanks for writing about it - I was actually close to pulling the trigger on another of their boxes a few moons back, great to hear it's good in practice as well :)

> no one would know if you mix the coins before cashing them out

There's lots of other ways you can fail. First how you obtain the large enough account to announce the scam. Then how you move the money to mixers. Then how you withdraw it. And likely a few steps in between. Also you can fail by telling someone about your scam - this happens a lot - many court cases have fun conversation records where the accused bragged to undercover police officers.

Yes it's a rectangle ripoff it's true.
If you can convince apple to let you into the 15% program and then hit $2M, you'll pay $450k for that year and then get kicked out of the program. Subsequent years you will pay $600k if your revenue stays the same. If your revenue drops below $1M at some point, you'll have to pay 30% for that year, but the next year you'll be able to re-enter the program.
On the flip side, the UAP-AC-PRO access point that I bought 5+ years ago is still supported and receiving updates to this day. And that's the case for the majority of their access points.

Glancing at their documentation, it seems that they've only EOLed the three early 802.11ac access points they released. Of course that doesn't help you or make your concern any less valid, but it's not like they're in the business of just willy-nilly cutting off support for their products. The one you bought just happened to fall into an unfortunate minority.

> Trying to "solve" deepfakes with recognition is a dead end, as it's an arms-race between generators and detectors.

The fact that there is an arms-race doesn't mean that it's a dead end; it's possible that one side has a fundamental mathematical advantage. Consider discrete log problems: as computational power increases, it's possible to brute force smaller key spaces, but the same CPU will always be far, far better at the efficient solution than the brute one.

Similarly, it's plausible that deepfakes will always be far easier for computers to detect than to generate.
And if that happens to enough people they can simply decide that they should get their share of the robots' output. Hopefully more people will agree with that before then.
I never understand, why people who already have money, want to have more. Personally, I keep my money at the bank, for days when I will have to spend it (Buying things, going on holidays, etc)
I'm not sure telling everyone to associate a race with "master/slave relationship" is the best idea. Black people aren't the only ones to have been enslaved.

I enjoyed reading this interview with GoSquared founder. We did this over several weeks of iteration, deliberately over written text, chipping away at the ideas than trying to do a podcast. Would love to hear your feedback on the format.

In terms of competitive landscape – through GoSquared’s history, we’ve been thrown off course far too much by over analysing competition.

In our early days, we found ourselves being compared to other companies thanks to publications like TechCrunch who loved to report on a battle taking place. Investors also seem to love to back “the leader in the space” so they inherently need to define a “space” for you to exist in.

Our thinking has evolved tremendously since we were in our early twenties building GoSquared. We absolutely keep an eye on others in our space – who doesn’t? – but we don’t use that to fuel our decisions, and we don’t use that to make us anxious or fearful.

We keep looking at where our customers are going, what they’re asking for, and how their lives are changing. I believe if you can do that, and plot those trendlines, you can set a path out that’s an exciting trajectory, without paying too much attention to other providers in your space.

"Master" does not mean slavery until you ban every other interpretation. Then it does mean slavery. Well done, you encouraged slavery views.

>I believe the bias generally comes from the sources - "reputable" (and generally liberal) English language sources tend to take a deferential tone towards Obama

It's much worse than that. The vast majority of sources that would potentially provide alternative [and valid, but right leaning] perspectives on basically any subject are effectively blacklisted as unreliable by somewhat of a cabal of heavily left leaning regular editors. Go to any talk page on any politically controversial subject and you'll see how the seasoned editors are almost all extremely left leaning and easily overwhelm anyone asking for a more neutral representation of facts. And let's not pretend that this has anything to do with "quality" or "factual reporting" when you'll find sources like Vox and Salon on some of these pages.

It's self reinforcing, in that such heavy editorial bias discourages neutral and right leaning people from making edits that they then have to defend publicly against virtual extremists.

It's pure cultural warfare. And in typical subversive fashion, they all play dumb and dance around the fact that the only approved sources are extremely biased towards their side.
I think that's the point.

(I'm not sure whether I agree with the point, but I think that is the point Taleb was making.)
Glad you mentioned the Paris Agreement. How about we ratify the agreement so it becomes a treaty otherwise post 2024, it may go out the window again.

As far as window dressing goes, we see this from both parties. They talk and vote radical when they are out of power. When they are in power, everything is status quo.
Folks generally get bombarded to manager because there’s no career ladder

That's a pretty serious organizational flaw. At my employer, we have a well-define architect path that ends with "Technical Fellow" which on the job matrix is parallel with director-level management.

As a developer, I see 4 basic career tracks. Developer-track - caps out at principal developer, thought most people in this role are capable of architectural work within their product/tech-stack. Architect-track - high-level strategic technical decision making, caps out at Technical Fellow. Business-track - eventual move into a BA or Product Management role. Management-track - typically moves in scrum master or project management role, then into full-time personal management.

I started down the architect track, then hopped over to management because I wanted to challenge myself (at the time, leading people was WAY WAY WAY outside my comfort zone), not because I was forced into it due to lack of career growth.
I don't know of any unfortunately, but I have also not looked around for it, so it is possible it exists.

They do have the capacity to uninstall apps remotely as far as I know, but I don't think they've ever used it. Perhaps the system triggers when Play Protect finds an obvious strain of malware, but in these cases the default is to remove the store listing and the available updates but leave the app on the device.

Google showed their capability years ago (https://www.tomsguide.com/us/Android-Google-Applications-And...) but I don't know if they have the same capabilities now with the new Android permissions system.
> if you gently probe what people mean by "extreme far right" they mean "Brexit" or "not electing Jeremy Corbyn"

Bollocks. For starters, Brexit had support on the far-end of the left, who see the EU too liberal, e.g. https://www.ft.com/content/692f2578-fcbd-11e5-b5f5-070dca6d0... (RMT comes to mind since I work in that sector)

I've certainly seen many outside the Momentum bubble being labelled 'Tory' (e.g. Lib Dems as 'yellow Tories', Blair/Starmer as 'red Tories', etc.), but you're speaking pure hyperbole.

"Extreme far right" is reserved for the likes of NationalFront/BNP/UKIP/BritainFirst/BrexitParty/Reform/whatever they're calling themselves these days (plus their goons like EDL, DFLA, People's Front of Judea, Judean People's Front, etc.)

It saddens me to see this sort of word-muddying (especially on HN), since it makes it easier to deflect this sort of crap:

It is not misleading at all.

> 10 Bitcoin were transferred and then cashed out anonymously a few days later.

Genuinely interested how the coins were cashed out anonymously. Pretty much all exchanges require KYC these days, and Bitcoin addresses can be tracked and blacklisted if the right processes are put in place, in theory at least.
And of they did, why require that you first send them money? This is the most absurd scam to ever succeed.
This won't solve it because a lot of scams rely on victim's greed,as was the case for the German in this story. This is no different from a scam I saw a few years ago,where some German tourist kept pouring money on a three cup game despite his wife's attempts to stop it. It took him less than 5 minutes to leave nearly €500. It's always the same: you think you are about to get something for nothing. I very much doubt there's a fix for it.
Or alternatively, the odds of a particular mRNA mutation doing something harmful are astronomically low. With 7 billion people being injected with large amounts of mRNA, you have a very small number times a very big number, so I can't estimate how likely something is to happen, but we know it's small since we haven't learned about anything critical with tens (hundreds) of millions of injections so far.

If an mRNA mutation were to make a self-replicating virus, or make something which damages DNA leading to cancer, or something wonky like that, I guess that's in abstract possible. It can make abstract proteins, and we don't know what those will do.

In that case, if I have twice as much mutated mRNA in my body, the odds of that happening almost exactly double. It's like rolling a 1-trillion sided die twice instead of once and seeing if I roll a 1. With one roll, I have a 1-in-a-trillion chance. With two rolls, I have a 2-in-a-trillion chance (minus 1-in-a-septillion of having the same thing happen twice, which we don't know what it would do, but is a small enough possibility we can ignore).

But yeah, unless something really wonky going on, I'm not going to end up with hundreds of strands of mutated mRNA in my body *all doing the same thing*.
We already have a way of selling rights, he has been able to buy the rights to songs for decades.

Of course if you are selling to him something he already considers valuable at a very very low price he is gonna want to buy it. It has nothing to do with it being an NFT.

In short, he conceded no point but you did: the NFT in itself is not the valuable part, what's being sold is.
I think to do it effectively you probably need to break a few laws, like using a stolen account of and kind to reach a large enough audience that will trust you.

So that's a reason not to, unless you're already in deep.
>> "It is a great metaphor. Nine out of ten applications of the tolerance paradox do not pass the fire poker test. One needs a certain level of enlightenment and maturity of judgement to apply it, otherwise it can turn into metooism, mob behavior and plain hypocrisy."

> The 42-year-old says he first invested $40,000 in Bitcoin in 2017, and quickly made his money back as the value of the coins rose on the open market. He cashed out and got his initial money back, but then watched excitedly over the years as the 10 coins grew to be worth nearly 500,000 euros.

Fortunately this sounds like he didn't lose anything, just never realised extra gains. I know it's slightly nitpicking, but losing your actual $500k and losing $500k unrealised gains from a gamble is a massive difference. Especially if you already withdrew the original investment.

Absolutely. The paternalism that's shown toward black Americans by white Americans on the left is so obvious. They're treated like children. This patronizing stance toward blacks is like a continuation of the general pre-Civil War ethos of the Democrats. You "took care" of your slaves, too. They were your "property", after all. But of course, you didn't really want to help your slaves in any real way, lest they forget their place.

Let me set this straight. Your comment is kinda short, but warrants a long answer. First of all, all of my comments are about what I experienced and know as a practitioner and instructor. Please don't take them in the context of the article. There are thousand ways of meditation, and I only know my way with all details. It'd be very irresponsible for me to speculate on something that I do not know.

Hidden trauma is not something like a faceless blob. It's something you remember, you know, however you didn't realize that it created a trauma with you. It's not something burning inside daily, distorting you daily. E.g.: You don't like a certain spice. That's OK, but why? Because somebody added it to your food excessively and your first encounter was very unpleasant. You put the event in the back burner, almost forgot about it, but its effects linger until this day. This is the hidden trauma. This can be something emotional about your past partners, something you botched up, etc. So when you re-remember it, it can be easy to work through or very hard. This difficulty is not related to the size of the event. You can go through events of great distress in a single breath and need to work on the loss of a sentimental item for years. This is where instructor comes in. Keeps you in balance, and guides through it.

The meditation I do doesn't judge anyone. There's no blame. It happened and it left a mark. Why? Doesn't matter. Who's wrong? Doesn't matter. There's a little lesson there. Did you learn it? It can be about you, other party, world, your dog. Doesn't matter. Get that little message, put it into your pocket, leave the emotion behind. That's not easy all the time. This is why instructors/masters are important. This is why the way is important.

Sometimes there's nothing to go through, at least for now. In a good practice, practice itself shouldn't search for problems but to explore what's inside and strengthen oneself. This strength and self-familiarity triggers the discovery of these hidden-traumas or not-so-right state of oneself. This mechanism is not fully understood, but it can be said that with self familiarity and self confidence, the practitioner has more courage to face with the problems which he/she buried to cope, so subconscious mind surfaces them to be dealt with. This is again where guidance and masters play a very important role.

I meditate everyday. I don't uncover the hell inside me every day, but it helps me to reflect, understand what I did right, what I did wrong, what I still carry. It helped me tremendously for transforming from a potato to myself, after years of physical and emotional bullying. It helped me to get rid of my dance phobia, fear of expressing myself and lack of self confidence.

There are many wrong ways to both meditation and psychotherapy. We're very very cautious with our practitioners. Everyone benefited somehow from our ways. Most important thing is, many friends has diverted to different paths and they're free to do so. There's no strings attached. We give the tools and show how to use them correctly. If another set of tools are better for them, we're happy. No hard feelings.
