Quite telling that while opinion pieces that confirm HN anti-blockchain biases get high traffic, articles such as this one, which provide hard data on the opposite, languish.
"Software Bill of Materials" could be important. Especially where Docker containers are involved. What's in your box?
Explanation: In order to be eligible for the dividend of $0.42/share, you had to be holding the stock on Friday at close. You would therefore normally expect the share price to drop $0.42 between Friday close and Monday open.

Looks like that accounts for about half of the "drop", which means KO lost less than 1% over the weekend. Hardly worth a news article.
Tried to find out what OP actually said in the interview she references, and it seems her point was about nuance, that the experiences of a trans woman are not the same as someone who was assigned female at birth.[0]

Which... I think should be a "well duh" sort of thing, but of course in our outrage-fueled chase-engagement-at-all-costs social media environment, that means that we have to twist things to assume the OP was actually saying "trans women are not women" (when she didn't say that and denies she was implying that). But I don't know; I'd never heard of her before this post, so maybe she has a history of saying shitty things and this is just the latest.[1] Or maybe it's what it looks like on its face, a few jealous, opportunistic people trying to smear her.

(I think it's telling that one of these people called out to their "followers" to attack OP with machetes. You've lost the moral high ground once you do that, if you hadn't already. I don't care how pissed you are, direct calls to violence toward another person, because of some words, automatically invalidates your viewpoint in my book.)

All this stuff just makes me sad and tired. And I know I'm privileged that I (being a straight, cis, white man) generally don't have to worry about any of this in my daily life. But I wish people could just listen to each other, and not immediately assume ill intent, or especially manufacture ill intent in order to bring someone down and elevate themselves. It's all just so counter-productive, and pushes people away who could otherwise be allies. Not saying that there aren't people out there who dog-whistle and say bad things just ambiguously enough for plausible deniability. But it feels like the default is to assume that of everyone who says anything, and that's gross.

> I have spoken to young people who tell me they are terrified to tweet anything, that they read and re-read their tweets because they fear they will be attacked by their own.

And all this just reminds me that I still need to get around to downloading my FB and Twitter history before deleting it all. (I'd really like to close my FB account, but outside of the pandemic use it heavily for event invitations. I might close my Twitter account, though.)

That would acccount for about half of the drop between Friday close and Monday open, nice catch!

Journalist narratives behind stock price action are almost always wrong or misleading.
I wonder if sucking in air in one direction and blowing in the other can meaningfully move you.
He clearly presents his stories in a manner that makes it easy to mistake them for the whole truth, though. I find this kind of excuse pretty thin coming from anyone more serious in tone than, like, Jon Stewart.
Not yet, that's apparently coming, assuming Sam is correct about his source being reliable. If that's the case, what we're seeing now is a slow rollout. Presumably to get the population comfortable with officials talking about UFOs, instead of jumping immediately from denial to confirming alien tech.
Seems like a lot of people replying are missing your joke here. Just to be explicit: Coca-Cola owns all of these brands.
Honda discontinues fuel cell car Clarity on weak demand
I'd argue that the gap between American and European/Japanese automakers was probably smaller than the gap between American and European/Japanese train manufacturers at the time, though.

Also, it's probably far easier to justify inaction on cars because some of the things they're judged on are pretty subjective. A GM exec could plausibly have said something like "we don't need to increase reliability to match Japanese cars, because people don't want that sort of car here; they're too small/whatever". They'd have been wrong, as it turns out, but it wouldn't have been obvious nonsense. Whereas a train manufacturer exec wouldn't have had the same sort of arguments; they'd have _had_ to compete on the things railways care about, which are mostly just reliability.
Forest Observation System
That wouldn't explain why they could track it on radar
The four noble truths kind of touch on this (which if memory serves are all life is suffering, suffering comes from desire, and the cessation of desire causes the end of suffering, and the fourth one... Cessation of desire leads to nirvanna maybe?), as well as the the three poisons, sometimes called sins (greed, anger, and delusion which when overcome become wisdom, generosity, and compassion).
I was on a call last week about the SEC’s changing priorities under Chairperson Gensler and the consensus among all of the attorneys on the call was that they will be more data-driven and have already been using data analytics far more extensively than ever before. I suspect the case in the linked release came about from those efforts:

> “Using sophisticated data analysis, the SEC was able to uncover this insider trading ring and hold each of its participants accountable to ensure the integrity of our markets,” said Joseph Sansone, Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division’s Market Abuse Unit.

I think in time the SEC’s enforcement in this area will become more automated and efficient.
Thermodynamics bud.
Sounds like a scare tactic to warn any pump and dumpers on Stocktwits and wsb with any kind of knowledge on large upcoming inflows into a stock. They are obviously out there and hidden in a raucous crowd.
There already is a name for it: Government.
Based on the authors comment that they "might call you back in an hour" suggest that keeping a connection open for that long is impractical. I don't doubt there are APIs that misuse this pattern, but in some places it is the right way to go, even though it might not be obvious to the user.
People want to transfer around cryptocurrencies, because their price is high and they can speculate on them and mine them.

If the price was lower, then the mining activity would be reduced as would the interest in speculation.

The interest in tether is thus directly associated with the price of bitcoin.

It makes sense then to use the power of controlling Tether and Bitfinex to pump up the value of bitcoin, in the hope (I guess) that the value becomes self-sustaining.

But, basically, we have been duped at a civilizational level and this whole crypto pyramid needs to come crashing down for the good of electricity, chip shortages, limiting ransomware and criminality, and wasting technical talent.

Crypto is basically the Uber of money laundering and ponzi schemes.

Or that he took Gov handouts/bailouts and always says he wants to pay more taxes but never does. I guess you can't get to where he is being honest. A recent example was the fuckery he tried to pull with Texas and building new Generation Plants. Man is a shit bag...
Armored vehicles have thin armor on top, which allows effective top-attack by smaller munitions such as SADARM.[1]

SADARM is smaller than a typical toaster and weighs 12 kg.

An even smaller micro-drone could just attack a tank's gun by setting a small charge or providing blockage that would be devastating when the tank fired.

What is lacking is a neural link, since using gloves and external gadgets to try to trick the brain into thinking its experiences are real will always fail an immersion test on some level.

A neural link would directly stimulate the brain to directly experience the sensations of the virtual world without directly feeling the impacts of attacks or fall damage, and aside from uncanny valley issues that is the last great frontier of computer gaming. It is also the difference between what we have and what Ready Player One had.

If all of human science and effort were bent on creating neural link technology like that I would guess it would take us at least 20 years to pull that off, so if that ever happens I'm sure it will be long after we are all dead and gone.
> just accept that some people are not gonna be able to survive.

Their arguments against unemployment benefits are instructive. I don't think a livable UBI is a possibility in the current US political climate, doubly so since it cannot be sustained by income taxes on a shrunken labor base, necessitating more taxes on robot companies.
I always find it interesting how people travel and sit in cafes to people watch, but they never do that in their own home towns.

I would be willing to bet if you took a week off work and just went around relaxing at cafes in your home city, you would discover all sorts of interesting things and people without even having to leave the country.

People are people, and you can find stressed out people everywhere. You can also find relaxed, easy going, loving people everywhere too, if you look hard enough.
That's horseshit. It would be so satisfying to physically humiliate every single person I see making these stupid claims.

Why do people think it is acceptable for utility programs like file copies to launch many threads and saturate my CPU? It's usually the case that there are many things being done on the system, and I don't want one task take up all the resources I have. Most classic Unix command line tools only use a single thread, so I know they won't bog down the entire system without any effort on my part (adjusting niceness, cgroups, ulimit, etc).
Right. But if someone has total assets of say 500k... whats the difference of a 1 million or a 100 million dollar fine? You literally cannot collect either before the person dies / moves to Mexico.
I'm not going to disagree with the merits of your point, but I do want to provide clarification that I think there is a gap between "not unusual" and "typical". I think the former means it isn't rare while the later means it applies to most people. To make up a number, if this applied to 20% of people it would be both "not unusual" and "not typical".
More and more communication happens abstractly, away from the facts. An article titled "The lab leak theory is false" is not merely trying to inform people of a fact. Some call these Simulacrum Levels of communication. [1]

The hypothetical article may also be trying to cause people to act like the lab leak theory is false. The statement doesn't indicate whether the author believes the fact is true or false, it indicates the behaviors they desire from the reader - for example, not being biased against Asians. See also "You don't need N95 masks", which means is that the speaker doesn't want a panic buy of masks so they're unavailable for medical personnel.

It could also be written to cause people to believe that the speaker is part of the group that advocates against the lab leak hypothesis. "That sounds like a conspiracy theory, or racist, or nationalist, and I'm a part of the team that's against those things, go team, we're the best!". By taking a stance against the lab leak hypothesis they indicate their memebership in these causes, regardless of the truth or falsehood of the statement or the behaviors that belief or disbelief in the statement would entail.

Finally, it may be expected to benefit the speaker in an abstract sense. If you have any position at all on a hot news item, that brings in eyeballs, which the publisher values. None of the correctness, behavior, or group identification results really matter in this context, their incentive is orthogonal to the communicated information.

Advertising used to be benign things like alerting farmers to an improved plowing technology in a trade magazine. Then companies realized they could get away with selling an unneeded/worse/disposable product if they just outright lied about it, and took advantage of the goodwill the public had towards advertisements to reap profit.
well yeah, but we knew that long ago.
fish, dinosaurs, etc.

and this one was long after chickens.
I don’t trust google and apple equally. I trust google about the same level as comcast/etc.

apple having less advertising influence is more trustworthy, I think, in terms of privacy. don’t lump google in with them.

Meanwhile apple has many many anti consumer anti competitive policies so while I may trust my privacy with them more, I wouldn’t trust them to fight for my privacy rights in the long run.
You are feeding a political movement that supports allowing a man, dishonest or not, to be jailed for protecting his sources, which will set a precedent that inhibits ALL genuine journalistic investigation.
There was a $0.42 dividend priced in on Monday open since Monday was the quarterly ex-dividend day for KO, so maybe half of that is from Ronaldo, but that is not verifiable so … shrug
I agree. Plus, the payload of a drone is way too small to do any proper damage. That's like a 100 mosquitos stinging an elephant.
Anecdote from my MSc year in 2003. In the dorm room I had 10Mbps Internet connection via the University's network which was quite amazing for the time. So among the real Linux ISOs, I tormented also the other kind of ISOs. At some point the Uni NOC reached out telling me that I'm consuming lots of BW for torrents which is against the policy, at which I replied that I download Linux ISOs and I'm happy to schedule it for after midnight, outside of peak hours. After some days I get a reply that please do so from another guy who forgot to remove the quote from his previous colleague which went something like "hey we have a problem with this guy's answer"

So yes, Linux ISOs is an old thing indeed
Yes my point is that each system colonized becomes its own independent case subject to destroying itself or regressing or becoming antagonistic towards its parent civilization. Think back pressure or resistance. The question I’m asking is at what point does that resistance turn the tide of expansion.

> I bet you it’d stop happening

You'd lose that bet. The death penalty didn't stop pickpocketing, or any other crimes, for that matter.

People just don't work like that. Constantly ratcheting up the penalties starts moving into medieval territory rather quickly.
Paid "Journalists" aren't journalists any more than any random Twitter handle.

The sole basis for Politico was to distribute planted stories out of DC.
Wait hang on, that cliff hanger though

>"Multiple security experts quickly zeroed in on how investigators were able to retrieve the funds, which did not represent the total amount Colonial paid (~$4.4 million): The amount seized was roughly what a top DarkSide affiliate would have earned for scoring the initial malware infection that precipitated the ransomware incident."

I'm not quite sure what this implies? That the team who did the initial infection was in fact some sort of FBI undercover?

So undercover FBI successfully hacked colonial pipeline, ignited all this press coverage and attention, and quietly disappeared with the ransom amount? Am I interpreting that correctly?
SEC is clearly corrupt…which is a sad reflection of current affairs
> It depends, whether they do no logs

Courts can compel them to keep logs.
wouldn't this be something already arbed out? Dividend dates are known -- one can make a quick buck shorting if one knows for sure the price will change.
That's true. And really, of all the things the app level rate limit is perhaps the least worth mentioning. Not wanting to get into the weeds, what I didn't say is that there's no way of returning the extent of the data for a given user. So, the recommended approach by the support team is to always request all data. This easily maxes out the rate limit. Feedback that this lack of transparency is problem for both consumer and provider alike, fell on deaf ears.
There has been secrecy for decades regarding UFOs/UAPs flying on Earth, I think it's fair to say this secrecy extends to outer space as well.

there's very few objectives they can be achieving with big ships flying around here for decades (observation can be achieved with tiny machines, communication can be more direct etc.)

They may be doing more than just observing.
It would be a removal of $62.5 billion from the ecosystem. That’s a massive loss of demand. Everyone else still has their bitcoin but if it turns out the majority of the orders were with fraudulent funds, what does that do to BTC value?

Why wouldn’t auditing be trivial? It’s just checking the level of funds in account and whether they’re present over time. All major companies do audits, it’s a simple, common procedure.
> Using sophisticated data analysis

Curious what that entails.

Does the SEC have some automated alerting of suspiciously well timed trades?
Toss a big warning from the Surgeon General on there. People are blind to it now, but when they first did it for cigarettes most people weren't aware of the severity of related health issues.

We need a big "soda can make you obese and diabetic" campaign — we haven't even begun to approach the level of fervor that cut down on smoking... and we're fatter and unhealthier than ever.

I generally agree that bans go too far, but I love publicly funded advocacy.
True. But why is not explicitly in the privacy policy?
Would it be possible to implement the "recrusive combinators" like linrec, and binrec, from Joy in the language itself? I think Joy provides it as part of the implementation.
There's little connection between violent and non-violent crimes other than them both being crimes. I didn't make any claim about violent crimes so I'm not sure why you even mentioned the death penalty.

The reality is, if you see these articles, average the restitution and see that in general you only pay 50% of what you illegally gained, there's little deterrence.
Yup. If one can make money now by pushing off problems for the future, oversight is vital. Otherwise we guarantee problems in the future. Banks are a great example. As are investment companies; Ponzi schemes are one easy way for those to go wrong.

One non-governmental way to do that is audits. Which is why Tether's lack of serious audits is so concerning. They claimed to be cash-backed for a long time but wouldn't prove it. Once the NYAG force them to open up, it's clear they were lying.
“If you take an example of where I don’t think it’s in the best interest, that the current DMA language that is being discussed, would force sideloading on the iPhone,” Cook said. “And so this would be an alternate way of getting apps onto the iPhone, as we look at that, that would destroy the security of the iPhone.”

I'm willing to grant this. Personally I don't think it has to be true, but I'll grant it. I still would like the choice to be up to me, please.
No, GPRS is still around; the 2 and 3G networks aren't supposed to go away until late 2022 in the US, and then there's the rest of the world to consider.

> The Bank of England couldn't keep their peg, so what's the gold standard for a dependable cross-asset peg then?

I'm not a crypto expert, but naively I would at a minimum expect uncorrelated collateral to be part of the picture. DAI runs on ETH, so collateralizing via an ETH mechanism seems like possibly not the best choice.

I would expect that the peg would depend on something that exhibits a low correlation with crypto asset prices and a very high and dependable correlation with USD, like money market funds or Treasuries.
Except that now its even worse, because we are throwing a whole lot of electricity and advanced manufactured goods (computer chips) into it, which currently has large negative impacts on the rest of civilization.
More like, your intuitive jump related to areas in which you are experienced and expert, can and does give you conclusions way way quicker than it gives you justifications.

Hoving looking at a fake sculpture and instantly going 'NOPE' is not a Joe Average reaction, but draws on lots of experience. The story of gamblers giving stress reactions to unfamiliar and dangerous card games is GAMBLERS.

Your gut feeling has nothing to do with it. What are you so expert at, that you can just glance and you'll know? (as in, more than would be justified by the lack of analysis and prolonged exposure)

Being able to plausibly form hugely accelerated judgements and have them check out, is interesting. It's also plausible to me that few people build up that much expertise, to be able to do that. But for those who do… and it can be in any field, from any person… it's an interesting perspective.
That's just what kids do for fun. When I was growing up, we were reenacting scenes from Jackass.

Most of the research is sponsored by the manufacturers so if anything you’d expect it to be slanted towards showing positive results. But instead

‘The evidence for flossing is “weak, very unreliable,” of “very low” quality, and carries “a moderate to large potential for bias.”’
That's the point, there's always been "trusted sources" from wherever claiming that exciting disclosures were just around the corner. Like I said, it's the same old.

If anything, this official report is evidence to the contrary because what better place to start revealing this stuff if there was anything at all to it? But no, for the benefit of any exobiologists in the audience, it even goes out of its way to argue against the alien-origins theory for these phenomena.
