We're talking about the law, not some guy's blog. If you believe that bank accounts and Bitcoin are securities under the law, then you are incorrect. It doesn't matter whether some guy calls bank accounts securities on his blog. That doesn't change the law.

Saying the law could change is literally always true, it means nothing. Will it change? You could make an argument for Ethereum, and I tend to agree that the community is overconfident about the regulations around Ethereum and other coins. However for Bitcoin specifically the SEC has been very clear and consistent in stating that it is not and has never been a security. Their justifications are sound. So no, it almost certainly won't change for Bitcoin.

Copyright covers the specific number in addition to the general intellectual content of the number. You could say it covers a family of related numbers. That's stronger than just covering a single number.
You are everything there is that you can experience. The things you see, hear, etc, are really just sensory inputs produced by your own organs. Higher abstractions such as your thoughts, ideas, etc, are built upon these inputs that you produced. By changing your narratives, your physiology, etc, you can change how you feel about the world, or "the world", so to speak. You are everything there is to you.

And then there is the I/O aspect to it. By interacting with these inputs and constructing models about "the world", you learn that you can receive future inputs that you want by outputting data (e.g. moving your hand to type these words, etc) based on the right simulations about "the world". You learn of your dependencies to abstractions such as "your parents", "friends", etc. It is in this way that you are not alone.
The perpetrators are often not prosecuted, which is what I meant by consequence free.

ACH Fraud has also been going on for at least 20 years or so in similar amounts

Yes big bitcoin heist and no insurance for those victims of that exchange

Both true
The exchange itself holds a fluctuating amount of Bitcoin and then updates entries in its own database when transfers occur between exchange participants to reflect a change in ownership. These constitute the vast majority of transactions that occur and none of them are recorded to the blockchain.
> The most important thing is to sustain power and sustain politicization

Union power is a function of the demand for labor. You can rah-rah all day long, but when the demand for labor is low unions have little influence. If you want empowered workers seek to increase demand for labor. If the policies necessary to achieve that are abhorrent to you; impeding offshoring, limiting immigration, reducing regulatory burden, etc. then understand that it is you that defangs unions.

As for the "real goal" workers seek prosperity which includes minimizing hours and maximizing income, benefits, safety and other quality of life factors. If your goal is "workplace democracy" or some other abstraction no one will listen. Perhaps you think they should, and you may be plausibly correct, but they wont.
Seller market = high wages, buyer market = low wages.

That is all there is to it.

The irony about hard work is that everyone can be a hard worker so you are more likely to end up in a buyer market if that is your selling point.
I think it's cultural, but not perhaps in the way you describe.

Parents who believe in education often produce better-educated children. Reading to them when they're small, helping with homework when they need it, talking about college even when they're young, and just not letting them give up on school. I suspect that, at least to some degree, that is transmissable - that is, it tends to produce children who, when they are adults, will value education for their children.

Yeah I was just joking.
I do not know anything about the subject of the linked article, nor her views. Did not venture past the pay/registration wall. I have no opinion about her.

zero-tolerance to anybody questioning the current dogma is seen everywhere

Generally, of course dogma should be questioned.

However, academic freedom does not mean that universities must provide a platform to literally anybody that wants one. Their resources are finite and choices need to be made.

Surely, we can agree that some discussions by their very nature are harmful or at least deeply insulting. Imagine discussions such as "should women be allowed to vote?" or "are $ETHNICITY people worthwhile of being treated like other human beings?" or "was Hitler right?" or some other such topic.

I would certainly not say such speech should be banned, but it is equally clear to me that no institution should be obligated to provide a platform for such ideas.

It's worth noting that "teach the controversy" is the disingenuous rallying cry of creationists seeking to wedge anti-evolution religious dogma into US public school systems. Those people know that merely giving creationism a figurative seat at the table serves to legitimize it to some extent. They also hope to wear down their opposition (in this case, already-overworked educators) by consuming massive amounts of their time and energy. Well, such religious teachings should be denied a seat at the table, at least in publicly-funded secular schools.
> TFA is about Sweden. GP is comparing the misogyny of "expecting men to pay for dates" to the misogyny of Swedish persecution of sex work.

There is no misogyny in cracking down on prostitution. The amount of trafficked women forced into prostitution greatly outweighs the amount of willing participants in that "business". Believing the opposite certainly is misogyny.
I think housing intact trans-women in single occupant cells in women's prisons is a reasonable middle ground. The trans-women are in a space that affirms their gender identity, but it does not require cis-women to share a cell with someone who can rape and impregnate them.
A union… partaking in unionizing efforts… is them trying to “stay relevant”? That’s like saying “LeBron James plays basketball to stay relevant”. That’s his job.
On the point of classes and functions, it doesn't specifically address "function based views" and "class based views" of Django - it's mostly a tirade on OOP in Python. The majority of the Django world has long switched to class based views.
I'm the author of that bug and I can assure you that no code review would catch it.
I assure you it is not.
The Hasura pricing pages list SSO as being a "contact sales for pricing" feature. Does that mean endpoint authentication via JWT and Webhooks is only available to Enterprise customers or does the SSO pricing line item refer to something else other than this type of endpoint authentication?
> especially if you have super strict civilian firearm laws like Costa Rica that make putting together defensive militias much, much harder.

Not refuting the larger point, but this part sounds questionable. For a country, rifles are easy to provision: just buy enough and keep them in well-guarded armories in strategic locations. Trained soldiers are much harder to come by.

South Korea has relatively strict gun laws and very few people own one at home. But almost every male goes through two years of military service. In case of a foreign invasion, it won't take 24 hours to summon millions of civilians, just throw each one a rifle, and there's your army.
interesting a *macs that really uses guile :)
Chromosomes are not detectable from the outside. Phenotype is not entirely dependent on genotype. Trans women may suffer from both certain "female" diseases and certain "male" diseases.
Better vacations in my mind are either longer or often. Destination and amenities are not that important, I would gladly have more vacation even if I would stay in my city.
> All work is exploitative and the more so when the potential supply is larger than the demand. Look at the wages of office cleaners and supermarket shelf fillers.

There is a difference between doing blowjobs for a "living" and flipping burgers, if you can't tell then, I can understand how you would make such an absurd point.

Why didn't the language designers want closures?
AFAIK they are pretty standard in many programming languages (even Java has them).
Why would you need to interface with these tools at all?

In my mind it would be completely agnostic of the synchronization service and rely solely on file read/writes on the shared filesystem.
I agree that it can be an opportunity to address sexual assault in prisons more broadly. My comment does not normalize or tolerate sexual assault.
Maybe, but as I understand it, within voting system reform there's at least one big practical conflict: the tradeoff between 'the best' vs. the simplest voting system that you can convince people is marginally better. The average voter has no clue what's wrong with the current system.

Proponents of one system over the other worry that voters will get confused, or worse, that established groups that disagree with the reform could attack a new voting system as too complicated.

Personally I think this is part of the reason approval has gotten more traction than score or STAR systems, but who's to say. The Center for Election Science has better PR and web design than https://www.rangevoting.org/, which largely advocates for Score voting.

But it's a multifaceted issue. Academics argue over different methods, and even as a casual observer it seems pretty clear that no system is flawless.

For anyone who hasn't read "Gaming the Vote" by Poundstone, it's a useful introduction that discusses both the academic study and practical use of voting systems.
What ever happened to Fogbugz?
tetranomiga's claim, not mine. I merely acknowledged that I wasn't claiming to refute it.
That, objectively, is enough context to determine the usage given the usage notes for that word in both Websters and OSX built-in dictionaries.
> This would mean throwing out a lot of the more epheremeral complaints "I feel unsafe if there is a man in the bathroom." Why? Let's fix that part, then. Because there are going to be scary women too.

Do you recognize that there are actual reasons that a woman might not want to go into a bathroom with 5 men in it?
Just to share a little more of the weirdness (discovered while reading a couple of the historical URL & URI RFCs several days ago):

Per the original spec, in FTP URLs,

- ftp://example.net/foo/bar will get you bar inside the foo directory inside the default directory of the FTP server at example.net (i.e. CWD foo, RETR bar);

- ftp://example.net//foo/bar will get you bar inside the foo directory inside the empty string directory inside the default directory of the FTP server at example.net (i.e. CWD, CWD foo, RETR bar; what do FTP servers even do with this?);

- and it’s ftp://example.net/%2Ffoo/bar that you must use if you want bar inside the foo directory inside the root directory of the FTP server at example.net (i.e. CWD /foo, RETR bar; %2F being the result of percent-encoding a slash character).
This won't happen though. It reminds me of 'Star Trek' futurism where we crudely apply some neat technology to our own circumstances, without thinking about the real dynamic changes that would come about if the tech did exist.

If we ever get to the point of this level of technology, then the notion of 'gender' would be completely arcane.

People would be 'growing' wings, tails, horns, extra limbs, extra large brains, fur, hoofs, cross breeding with animals, creating new species in petrie dishes.

The 'regular humans' in that culture would be viewed like we view Amish people or Mennonites.

For comparison Bunnie's Precursor [i] (FPGA RISC-V mobile) is slated for ~2yrs of development, and he's someone who has the connections and know-how to trim the delivery schedule as much as possible.

But people are literally proposing a separate a set of laws and class of citizen for trans people over a fear that, as you admit, something that happens so seldomly that it's irrelevant.

The same thing happened with the "debate" about gays in the military. Bigots brought up the problem of shared showers in the military even though most gym showers are individual stalls. Still, this was used actually used as a rational to keep a ban on gay people, not recognize gay marriage (which means less pay for gay people in the military) and more.

Now we have proposals to ban trans people from public facilities, outlaw medical procedures for trans people and defund any publicly funded trans-related medical drug. And what is fueling this "discussion"?: bullshit stories about trans women assaulting people in bathrooms and sports being dominated by trans athletes (both of which are demonstrably false).
> I want the Web to be a first-class app platform for mobile phones as much as anyone.

So did Apple. But a massive amount of developers wanted native apps - a lot of them here. Don't forget that, at the time, Apple wasn't the behemoth it is today - far from it. I'm guessing it was an either/or descision at the time.
Do you think legislators and employers should get involved in decisions about nicknames? If so, that would make you some sort of authoritarian.

And this is what the debate is really about: authoritarian vs libertarian political attitudes. I’m certainly ready to have that debate, but it would require the “woke left” [0] to abandon the moral high-ground.

[0] There’s surely a better term to use, but I can’t think of it right now.
I'm a huge fan of Erlang and Elixir, but everytime I need to write a cross platform command line tool, I always have to look at Go or Rust. Is building release better now with Elixir? Can I run `mix release` and get a single binary file that I can run on any platform?
"The competition" doesn't matter
I defer to nicknames, but if the State or my university or my company forced me to, on pain of getting fired, expelled, fined, or worse, then I wouldn't want to defer to nicknames anymore on principle.

I don't care what gender someone calls themselves, and as a nice person I'll try to remember and use it, so long as they don't attempt to get me fired if I get it wrong.

This was ironically one of the things that was hardest about coming out as gay, for me. Nobody ever treated me the same way again. I was either uncomfortably praised or silently judged, with practically no in-between. Suffice to say, my sexuality is on a need-to-know basis, now.
Yes, because women can get pregnant. Then not only do you have to deal with trauma of your sexual assault, you have to deal with the trauma of having a child born from that sexual assault or have an abortion.
In the context of this thread, can you say "it is much more efficient" to have every single house on the planet tarmac'd, on the off-chance that a plumber might need to carry more than one basket worth of stuff to your house?

The up front cost is enormous, the ongoing maintenance is huge regardless of usage.[1] says "deteriorating roads are forcing [American] motorists to spend nearly $130 billion each year on extra vehicle repairs and operating costs" and "The U.S. has [...] a $786 billion backlog of road and bridge capital needs. The bulk of the backlog ($435 billion) is in repairing existing roads, while $125 billion is needed for bridge repair, $120 billion for system expansion, and $105 billion for system enhancement (which includes safety enhancements, operational improvements, and environmental projects).", and of course the amount of people who die on roads, and the amount spent on motoring costs just because people have to run a car because everything is so far away because everyone has cars in a circular way.

Whereas if that wasn't such a convenient option, you'd be more likely to use parts which lasted longer, and not change them frivolously for fashion reasons, and standardise on pipe adapters, and have more local caches and stores instead of big central warehouses a long way away.

> "You won't get a heavy appliance down a mud path unless the delivery is scheduled for a few weeks after the last rain."

I'm not deliberately missing your point when I say this, but "it's impossible because that would require forward planning" does show society in a bit of an unfavourable light, doesn't it?

What does that have to do with anything? You just don't vote for that candidate in either system.
In my experience browsing HN almost daily, over the last year it has become something of an echo chamber for "anti woke" lines of thinking. I've seen little to no healthy discussion on the topic - by which I mean productive disagreement. It's usually just a top comment decrying twitter/etc and then a pile on of agreement.
I think the "they" in your post is actually a bunch of disparate groups. You are acting like there is internal inconsistency, but that's because the conflicting beliefs came out of different camps.

Anyway, I think most people in support of the "new" ideology, as you call it, would say that the "old" ideology was flawed. Some might say it was bullshit, some might just say it was misguided or overly hopeful.

Ideas change over time, I'm not sure why you think society's views on race should remain static, especially considering that the Civil Rights Movement was only a few generations ago. Every generation our theories of race change.

The ideological right has also changed its stance on a lot of things. Do you also think that makes them have no credibility?
It feels like why subreddits or /pol/ exist: to segregate that to a place where people are most interested.

John McAfee found dead in prison cell as Spanish high court allows extradition
It could be a factor, but probably not a main one.

I know first hand that there are organizations that will help people in poor countries get a tourist visa to a wealthier country, and set them up with under the table jobs for a few months so they can go home with enough cash to support their families for the rest of the year. Not legal, but relatively harmless.

I've heard stories, but no personal knowledge, of traffickers pretending to be one of the above organizations, but once the victim is in the foreign country, they effectively enslave them using some combination of confiscating their documents, direct threats, threats against relatives, and lying/exaggerating what the local law enforcement will do if they find out they came to work illegally. By the time people back home realize something is wrong, the traffickers have already moved on. No idea how accurate or how common this is.

Same would apply to orgs offering to smuggle people into a wealthy country without a visa with the intention of staying indefinitely. In either case, I suppose a freer flow of labor could reduce that grey market and therefore the opportunity for abuse.
In space the idea that SpaceX was the ones being subsidized vs EVERY OTHER provider is ridiculous. I mean - it's a flat lie.

You need to look at what govt is paying for existing defense / industrial launches. What they spend on development. Asia / Russia / Europe and US.

Atlas the govt paid $15B+ to develop and then 200M+ per launch.

Most other programs have been govt funded / cost+ contracts. SLS fits this.

Can you give me a specific example of the "billions" spaceX has gotten in "corporate welfare"? They are providing the deal of the century on development and ops costs, and are putting in far more private capital then most other providers as well, taking much more performance risk (ie, not all cost+ contracts) etc.

The idea that this approach is somehow more costly than the pure pork style of the past is a pretty bold claim.
Being pro-marxist 70 years ago meant jail time. It's always been this way, just for a different sect of people.
You may also enjoy some of John Varley's early work (the short stories and books about the Eight Worlds). Physical sex changes (by cloning a new body and plopping the brain in, plus some extra "science magic" to make that work) are routine.
Honestly, I'd say it's because the Eurozone doesn't encourage cooperation between member states.
This isn't true. I do ML every day. You are mistaken.

I click the website. I search "model". I see two results. Oh no, that means no download link to model.

I go to the github. Maybe model download link is there. I see zero code: https://github.com/NVlabs/alias-free-gan

Zero code. Zero model.

You, and everyone like you, who are gushing with praise and hypnotized by pretty images and a nice-looking pdf, are doing damage by saying that this is correct and normal.

The thing that's useful to me, first and foremost, is a model. Code alone isn't useful.

Code, however, is the recipe to create the model. It might take 400 hours on a V100, and it might not actually result in the model being created, but it slightly helps me.

There is no code here.

Do you think that the pdf is helpful? Yeah, maybe. But I'm starting to suspect that the pdf is in fact a tech demo for nVidia, not a scientific contribution whose purpose is to be helpful to people like me.

Okay? Model first. Code second. Paper third.

Every time a tech demo like this comes out, I'd like you to check that those things exist, in that order. If it doesn't, it's not reproducible science. It's a tech demo.

I need to write something about this somewhere, because a large number of people seem to be caught in this spell. You're definitely not alone, and I'm sorry for sounding like I was singling you out. I just loaded up the comment section, saw your comment, thought "Oh, awesome!" clicked through, and went "Oh no..."
I agree. There also seems to be more right-wing outrage-of-the-day bubbling up here.
Of course, Apple knows what is best for you./s

For an average user, they are never going to know how to side load apps. Case in point,Android. Pretty much everyone uses the Play Store but very few use apk files to sideload apps. So Apple's shamelessness is pretty much apparent.

And I like most of their products. I don't like Apple as a company however. This philosophy has been there in their DNA since day one. I was re reading the Steve Jobs book by Walter Isaacson. It tells of how Steve Jobs made the Macintosh into a sealed box that no one could open whereas the Apple II was meant for people who could do whatever they wanted with it. It was a point of contention between him and Wozniak. Sure, the Macintosh was an iconic device due to its vast leap forwards in UI design like making a proper modern GUI that was better than Xeroc Parc's GUI (like having overlapping windows and a good selection of fonts). That policy carried over into many of their products going forward.
What you just said will understood as extremely hurtful and a purposeful attack on trans people by (some) trans people or trans advocates.
