>> why do they include details such as, "he was a school teacher" and, "he owed gambling debts"?

They want to signal to larger players (hedge funds, etc) that enforcement is only on smaller players like high school teachers. They are signaling to their rich friends and power brokers in NYC/Connecticut that there is nothing to worry about w/r/t to the real, bigtime insider trading.

This comment is meant to be both sarcastic and true, however depressing.
How do you go to jail if "arrange a 'run on the bank'"? There's no law against it, so far as I'm aware.

As for the backing, let me go through this in more detail (see https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-06-10/maybe-... for a decent coverage of how this works). There are three categories to keep in mind here: assets (which include loans, cash, precious metals, etc.), liabilities (i.e., the value of all of your deposits), and capital (which is money to support the assets that's actually the bank's owner's).

Regulation requires liabilities to hit no more than about 90% of assets. They also require the bank to stake about 8% of its own capital to support the assets, on a risk-weighted basis. The risk weighting reflects the likelihood of assets crashing in value: a typical loan might have a 100% weight, so $100 in loans requires $8 in capital. Safer loans (e.g., residential mortgages) would require less capital. Stuff like cash or T-bills have a risk weighting of 0%. Riskier things include stocks (which tend to go down big when they go down), requiring maybe $24 per $100 of stocks, or cryptocurrencies... which require $100 of capital per $100 of cryptocurrency.

What this actually means, when you combine stuff together, is that you really do have something like $100 in safe things for every $100 in deposits a bank has.
I'm on the free tier and haven't hit the cap.

I've also found that I still get creepily-targeted advertising, which is presumably based on IP. For example, I watched a youtube video in Firefox Focus on my iPhone. Later that day, I saw a youtube recommendation for a very similar video (on a topic that I do not ever engage with, except for the single video earlier that days) on my laptop, in Safari.

I use NextDNS on both devices. It's nice, but it's not a silver bullet.
Have you been to a Walgreens in SF lately?
Exactly. That's the high value part of the chain: assembling commodity raw materials into specialist goods that poorer countries cannot match.
I'd be surprised if there are many phones that still use it, but I'd be equally unsurprised if there weren't a lot of embedded devices (utility substations, gas/electricity meters, security systems, traffic light controllers, etc.) that still use GPRS modems to phone home to monitoring systems. Its simple, lightweight, and supports PPP (for devices that use serial comms) and X.25 as well as IP.
And that's why archaelogy is not for me - I wouldn't share the excitement for finding a 1k old egg in 1k old human poop
What about the Milgram experiment? This is also a very well known psychological experiment. Was the science behind the Milgram experiment rigorous?
I can't find that.
Could you be more specific?
Update to the FSF and GNU's plan to move IRC channels to Libera.Chat
Yup. My teammates joke that the best problem to have is “not my problem”.

This might be a simple service, but this is one less thing to worry about
Probably off topic: Back in 2014-15 at my first job, when I was working on openstack, they used to show up at the summits. They were super smart and very generous with their time when I had questions. I wondered sometime in 2020 what happened to them, I'm happy they had a decent exit.
I think you have a narrow view of philosophy. Very little modern philosophy has anything to do with that kind of question.
Sort of. There’s taxation différences that vary based on where the account holder is based, so the drop won’t exactly equal the dividend amount, even if it was paid immediately.
$1.7m can't even buy a house.

This is nothing compared to the ubiquitous congressional insider trading that goes on.
I think the problem is that people think they are reinventing finance when the only thing that changed is the currency.
Who, realistically, would enforce such a system?

I'm pretty sure any artificial rules which make war "fairer" will just be ignored when real bullets start flying since "it's better to be judged by twelve than to be carried by six" is an actual unofficial rule in the military.
The price is adjusted on ex-dividend day. You can attempt to arb dividends with options, but the algos will beat you.
I’m arguing that because it exists no company of Apple’s size is going to risk unknowingly hosting it, and I wouldn’t either if I were in their shoes.

I agree with you in terms of photos being some of the most private information we have, but the E2E argument doesn’t ever get won by the tech community without a guarantee of blocking/catching/preventing CP and being able to make that evidence available for prosecution.

To the arguments above: Any processing server side implies no real E2E. Any processing client side is by definition under the control of the client and subject to forgery/hacking/spoofing/tampering.
Insights into the World-Changing Potential of On-Chain Gaming
No, but I know what you're referring to and that's a great example and is my point - see what happens when you don't punish people for clear criminal activity?
Exactly. The next time I ditch coke for water, share price will drop by 1.7%.
> Using sophisticated data analysis, the SEC was able to uncover this insider trading ring and hold each of its participants accountable

Anyone know details about the analysis they do? I'm assuming some sort of scan that notices when multiple people in the same geographic area and/or are publicly connected in some way (i.e. are fb friends) simultaneously place massive stock market orders on the same security.
It does have to do with tech. Social media, and Twitter in particular, enables and encourages the behavior the author is talking about.
That depends entirely on your groundwater. In Florida, absolutely, it tastes like shit. When I lived in New York, it was great. Reservoir water, of course, is full of literal shit. Fish shit, birdshit, human waste runoff, etc, which all must be removed by a treatment system prior to use.
I knew a guy who lived in Maine before he moved to Nevada. He said the weather was 'not fit for man nor beast'
What's wrong with Stack over man pages? Most man pages don't you give advice or context, just the raw reference, but sometimes the best way to do something is not even the tool you originally looked up (say, scp vs rsync).

Stack combines the reference (which flags) with the expertise (of educated guesses by sometimes wiser users).

I would never trust a man page over a good Stack answer. (edit: as a web dev who uses *nix all day, but has no desire to become a full fledged sysadmin... Just give me the tool I need to get the job done without sacrificing performance or security. I don't need to know every possible gnu tool and flag and distro dependent options...)
Michael Burry warning of the biggest market bubble in history
I am absolutely fascinated that someone can read that entire essay and come about with this conclusion. There is so much nuance, so many well articulated points that transcend politics, and your conclusion is "my side of the culture war is correct". It's just fucking sad man.
Yeah I just did a side by side for a few of my most recent queries and as far as I could tell it was all Bing. Same results, same order.

Not opposed to it, just doesn't add up to the claim
Ah, I also tried unlocking the file descriptor 1024 limit, which worked fine most of the time, but didn't actually give me a perf boost in any of my tests. I got rid of it in the end because it caused problems when copying from an smb mount. iirc I exhausted the file descriptor limit on the samba server.
“Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”

Indeed. It is a scale problem. We have too many producers of research, too few destroyers of research, like Gelman. Show me the incentive and I can tell you the outcome. Encourage the whole world to become “experts” and then be amazed as the reverence and trust in expertise is devalued. That’s us.

I'm guessing the penalty is low because they're not professionals.

> No wonder bigger players do this in size. What a joke.

Not sure who you mean by that. SEC is all over every major player.
Shockingly to me, in many fields, Google results are bare.

Coming from IT, in the industry, even questions about software (very specialized, to be honest) get useless results.

I think the openess of information in software is the exception, not the norm, though many fields like science are making improvements.
This is the problem for journalism today as well - a desire to push a particular narrative over reporting of facts
I would think a user token level limit would prevent this, although I could imagine a case where a bug simultaneous affected all user tokens, but I'd imagine you'd set that app level limit pretty high because otherwise you'd be making life very difficult for legitimate use cases.
Whatever it's called doesn't matter. There's not a viable alternative. If you don't prosecute charges with substantial evidence, the risk of loss increases and eventually the department bleeds money at too large a degree and gets shut down causing no enforcement
> the SEC claims they found $1.7M in insider trading, and they only collect $700K

Nothing has been collected. This is a complaint [1] being put to court demanding a jury trial. The § 21A civil monetary penalties are in addition to "further relief as the Court deems appropriate," which is legal speak for we don't know how to divvy up the gains just yet but want to put specific dollar fines in the complaint attached to each defendant. (The SEC doesn't put people in jail. The DoJ is conducting its criminal investigation, which takes more time for obvious reasons.)

There is a stark difference between financial professionals and laypeople in terms of how they judge the risk of getting caught for insider trading and the scale of the punishment that comes with it.

Heh, come to my primary care clinic, I’ll introduce you.
I think there is a serious disconnect between those who grew up with manufacturing, will appreciate it perhaps, and those that have no clue. It’s clear from some of these comments that there are some people that grew up in non-manufacturing household, non-manufacturing cities, and I think for them manufacturing is like McDonald’s. The local McDonald’s closed, oh well. I’m sure they’ll find another job. They can learn to code.
Driving is statistically FAR more dangerous than flying though.

Think about it, you are hurtling along a highway at 70 mph in a car with numerous components that are aging and can break catastrophically. All it takes is a tire blow-out and your car flips. Or the overweight truck driver in the lane behind you has a heart attack and his truck crushes your car like a soda can. Or a vehicle traveling 70 mph in the opposing lane loses control and flies across the median, hitting your car and killing you instantly before you even have time to react.

Meanwhile, the airplane covers that same distance in a fraction of the time and has not one, but two pilots, with numerous years of experience. If one of the pilots has a heart attack, the other one can take over. There are almost no vehicles on the road with that level of redundancy.

Proof that I wasn't lying about the percentage of animals killed in factory farms. Thats USDA data, not some vegan propaganda. Good luck, and reach out if you ever come around to considering a world with less suffering.
True, but with math you also eventually get down to axioms that can't be proven.
Always ironic how many trackers are blocked when reading such articles
I find it a little strange that 100% of the comments (as of this moment, with 154 comments) are not about the main thrust of the article: Whether the SEC has Tether and BCB in their sites for a lawsuit.

For those who are looking for the usual HN summary: The tldr is that BCB is likely to incur SEC lawsuit mainly because of an ICO back in 2017, and the "legal expert" did not actually give a probability of Tether incurring an SEC lawsuit.
> The death penalty didn't stop ...

Are you sure? How would you be sure? If there's even a few people who've come close to committing a crime, then considered the punishment (prison/execution), then decided against the crime... isn't that "stopping" it?
> And so you do have to be thoughtful culturally about not over-rewarding the people who only do the new stuff and forgetting about the people who actually do the tedious work to finish it, because then you just end up with like a graveyard of alpha beta products that have never quite gone to GA.

This is really good - and a minefield I've seen myself in a bunch of startups. Don't limit your rewards to the flashy stuff.
We did this at my previous company. What our app did was get data from a queue, enrich it with the API, then send it off to another queue. They provided test data and a test environment, but it was horrible, changed unpredictably and data frequently went missing. We recorded all endpoints hit during our integration tests, saved them to files and mocked their API (mostly GETs with no state so backed by a simple rest service with a hashmap).

The API team was an internal team to the company and there was absolutely no communication possible with them, so we kinda had no choice.

If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don't care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.

>That's the ultimate test of how you have lived your life.
It is pretty visible in most instruments. If you're calculating a simple expected price of a stock at the open it's pretty normal to take the closing price from the prior trade day and adjust it based on any corporate actions (dividends, splits, ...).

Now whether or not this is actually the price that the instrument will trade at is a different story, but it's a good initial estimate. Market data and other activity will quickly inform you as to the actual price.
>I'm not quite sure what this implies? That the team who did the initial infection was in fact some sort of FBI undercover?

I suppose that's one of the many possibilities that are implied, but its not even close to the most likely.

I think its more likely that some of the attackers' systems or accounts were compromised (AKA hacked).
There is no way a first time offender who steals $250 would get 5 years.
I started using Emacs before SHIFT-LOCK was always found on the home row next to the 'A' key. The TI 990 minicomputer terminals had CTRL next to the A key, but the popular Dec vt100 and vt220 terminals put the SHIFT-LOCK next to the 'A' key. Sometimes using Emacs required a pinky stretch and sometimes it didn't.

What really changed things was the excellent IBM Selectric typewriter[1]. Every office seemed to adopt it. This typewriter influenced the future of keyboards, the digit 1 was given it own key distinct from lower case L and the ' and " were paired on a single key as were _ and - and it also moved the * key to shift 8. Soon every new typewriter seemed to be adopting the IBM Selectric's placement of the SHIFT-LOCK next to the 'A'.

This is obviously a mistake. SHIFT-LOCK doesn't have to be held down while typing other keys like the SHIFT keys does and it's use is not frequent so SHIFT-LOCK doesn't need to be on the home row next to the 'A'. In my opinion the CTRL key should be placed next to the A key. I was working as an operating system architect when IBM was building the first POWER-PC that was designed to run the new IBM Unix OS called AIX. I remember being in the meeting discussing the design of the AIX keyboard. I gave it my best shot, but I was unable to sway a majority and IBM made the decision to follow the Selectric typewriter and the IBM PC's keyboard layout.

They avoided losses and only made some gains

SEC went after the new money
You seem to be implying this is the only thing they have done, which is odd.

I think they should go after big fish of course. But there's also value in going after the littler fish. You don't want people thinking they can get away with insider trading if they just keep their crimes under the big-fish threshold. After all, there are a lot more little fish out there, and most serious criminals have a long pattern of escalation. It's valuable to keep people off the path entirely.
Depends on where you live. In the Netherlands, I don't think you can taste the difference or people even prefer tap water, because it tastes more neutral then some mineral waters. Sourcy and Bar-Le-Duc are even bottled from the same source as Utrecht gets its tap water from. Main difference with US is no chlorine is added.

I remember a video from French TV at least a decade ago. They interviewd an ex military helicopter pilot. He mentionned they one saw one of those huge cigar shaped craft flying near them. Then the craft accelerated at an insane speed that would have, in normal circumstances, disrupted the helicopter due to air displacement.

But it was like the UAP was in its own bubble, separated from the environement.
They’ll deploy a new AWS service that enables cloud-based reproduction. Features may include provisioning (remote insemination), managed service accounts (OB/GYN), and deep learning RBAC (child-rearing).

Can’t wait!
I like Swagger but there are several boxed solutions for this. My recommendation is to examine this from a documentation first perspective. That means the end product displays documentation not that your developers running first time configuration have something to read.
lol...you should move.
It’s amazing the SEC is able to find the stuff out. It’s like what happen with Josh Chassion at Facebook. Eventually leaking confidential data is going to get you in trouble, and maybe jail, but people still do it.
No, because if you short at close on ex-dividend and buy back at open the next day, ceteris paribus you gain the stock price delta (which is exactly equal to the dividend), but you also owe the amount of the dividend to the person you borrowed the stock from. You end up netting nothing.
Particularly since in soft drinks it is typically balanced out with salt to intensify craving and the amount you can drink without feeling like you're taking in too much sugar. Soft drinks have quite a bit of salt in there too, even if you're not washing down Doritos.
You don't need to get insurance through your employer anymore. That's what the ACA did. You can buy it on a marketplace and choose from dozens of plans, employed or not. It costs hundreds a month for an individual - thousands for families - for barebones insurance that covers almost nothing.

I'll restate my earlier point. The vast majority of Americans would suffer huge financial setbacks (to put it lightly) from one visit to the emergency room. Health insurance historically being tied to your employer isn't the problem, health insurance itself is the problem. It's a predatory industry which has successfully lobbied to make healthcare immensely lucrative for themselves and financially ruinous for average people.

It's interesting to me that you still think nationalized healthcare is "stupid" even though dozens of countries [1] have successfully implemented it. And yet you can look at the system we have here in the US, and say "oh it's just that it's tied to your employer. Otherwise it'd be fine." Healthcare isn't a commodity and shouldn't be marketed as such. The evidence that nationalized health systems can work well is everywhere. I also refused to see it for a while because of internalized fear of the "socialism" boogeyman, but turns out you can just do it and still have a capitalist market for other things. Go figure.

If you're joining an existing team, it's totally normal that it takes 3-6 months before you're comfortable and productive with the codebase, processes, team members, etc. If you quit and join some other company/team... you will probably have the same experience.

If you felt like this after a year, it would be very concerning, but after two months I'd say you should stick with it and it will get better.
As a very happy user of Windows 10, this is... disappointing at best.

They'd said Windows 10 was going to be the last version of Windows; a "forever" Windows that would slowly evolve over time. So when I heard about Windows 11, I was a little excited, imaging some pretty big changes to the internals - not yet another pointless exercise of moving things around and changing the colours. How does this need to be a whole new version?!

I wanted to hear about proper innovation, like a new database-based file system that actually made it out of PoC, an increase in performance and reduction in size because of dropping decades old legacy stuff, some kind of magical performance boost for Hyper-V virtualisation, some kind of actual package management, maybe new improvements to WSL. Maybe even (gasp), Start-menu search that actually works.

I dunno, something big.

Instead, we get yet.another.boring.ui.tweaking. And another outing for Widgets - nobody wanted them before, but maybe now they might? Right?!

I can only hope there is some actual substance to Windows 11 that's going to be announced later. Because as of now, I see nothing even slightly compelling, and nothing that couldn't have shipped as an incremental upgrade. Given the big reveal is planned for the 24th of this month, I suspect any hope is futile though.

Martin Landray, who is Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology at Oxford University and co-chief investigator of the RECOVERY clinical trial, summed up RECOVERY in a few tweets [1]:

- 40,000 patients enrolled in the clinical trial

Treatments that benefit hospitalised patients:

- Dexamethasone: reduces mortality for patients requiring oxygen or mechanical ventilator

- Tocilizumab: reduces mortality for patients with inflammation (raised CRP - C-reactive protein) and requiring oxygen or ventilator

- Monoclonal antibody combination reduces deaths for hospitalised patients with COVID-19 who haven't produced antibodies for themselves

Treatments that have no benefit for hospitalised patients:

- Hydroxychloroqine

- Lopinavir-ritonavir

- Azithromycin

- Convalescent plasma

- Colchicine

- Aspirin
