Rotki Solutions GmbH | REMOTE (or Berlin/Germany) | Full or Part-time | https://rotki.com/jobs/backend

Rotki is the only opensource portfolio tracking and accounting tool for cryptocurrencies and more that focuses on privacy and data ownership.

We are building a local-first opensource app that helps users track and do accounting for their finances (mainly crypto) and keep that data safe and away from centralized servers.

We are a really small team and looking for new dev/s to join us.

Looking mainly for a python backend dev (https://rotki.com/jobs/backend) and secondly for a vue.js/electron frontend one(https://rotki.com/jobs/frontend). More info in the website's job postings.

America has been doing that for the last 75 years. New data is not required.

1. Municipality sets minimum lot size and maximum density rules so living in the "nice" neighborhood requires buying more land than you actually need. Originally this replaced race based zoning.

2. Can't afford that much land? Go live in the other neighborhood that allows fourplexes, apartments, and condos.

3. Now that your community is segregated, it's easy to adjust city services so schools, roads, and parks are better in the rich neighborhoods.

Equifax credit scores are part of the system, but the root of evil is in land use policy. Deep red and deep blue local governments are all doing this.

> What you are describing is market makers, not Robinhood. Quoting directly from the S-1:

Did i claim that robinhood is a market maker and/or participates in market making? I simply explained how market makers are making money in a non-nefarious way and why they might pay robinhood for order flow.

> I promise you that there isn't some magic altruism on the part of market makers

As explained in my prior comment there's no altruism involved. Retail orders are valuable because they're uninformed/non-toxic

>and then routing 40-60% of trades off-exchange. If it was simple matter of profiting off bid-ask spread: Force those orders through the exchanges instead of through dark pools.

Why bring in dark pools and "off-exchange"? The whole point of buying orderflow is to execute it yourself rather than letting anyone execute them.
Keep psychologically abusing police (getting in their face and antagonizing them) instead of holding legislators and officials accountable and see if society gets better or worse.
I don't know about the failed state part, she's open and truely free, at the mercy of it users. Sure is a warzone though.

It’s not “some body,” it’s actually the cloud layer of Saturn. And yes, you wouldn’t need a pressure suit at that location, just oxygen mask and cold weather gear because the pressure at that point (400 millibar up to 4-10 bar) is Earth-like! The author of that video was, in fact, intentionally using a fur lined coat/hood/hat to underscore the fact that the pressure is Earth-like at the Saturn cloud layer and the coat is not a pressure suit but just insulation.

So it was intentional and accurate (or, rather, a possibility), not an unscientific mistake.

The problem with this post is that it cites a survey of how much Americans are willing to pay to "stop climate change." According to the article 57% are willing to pay $1 a month to "stop climate change" and 23% would pay $40 a month.

As an American, in a well paying IT job, I'd pay $100 IF IT WOULD STOP CLIMATE CHANGE. However, I don't believe the $1, or $40, or $100 is going to do anything. It's far more complex than that.

It reaffirms one of my maxims... beware the worthless survey.
>but was told that Acer locks the BIOS on all computers shipped through Amazon in order to "protect" customers from changing things that might break the computer if they don't know what they're doing.

That doesn't make any sense. Why would you lock it because it was sold through Amazon?

Is it accessible if you buy it direct from Acer?

Sounds like a customer support person just made up a reason.

> I would love to see a company backing Servo that isn't Mozilla considering all the downfalls of Mozilla with funding their amazing projects. Their biggest legacy is Rust atm and they're missing out lots of opportunities: paid for IDE with RAD capabilities, certificates for Rust, and many more that could more than fund: Mozilla Firefox, Servo, and Rust itself.

At the moment I can't really say if Mozilla management

- considers themselves paid by Google to run Firefox into the ground and give it an honest attempt

- or if they are just clueless

- or if I am clueless.

Sad to say all the three above seems realistic at the monent.
Well, it may not be the most constructive way of dealing with police abuses, but it's one of the vanishingly few consequences police have faced for their malfeasance and unfettered violence.
The irony is that body cameras for police are sold to departments as devices that keep the "lying public" from accusing cops of doing things they didn't do. They have no problem shoving cameras in other people's faces, but if someone records cops, then it's the end of the world.

> Take the low estimate of $51 trillion over a decade so $500 billion per year.

Over a decade, that would be $5 Trillion per year since a decade has 10 years.
> I agree, but I would also not compare investing in stocks and starting a company.

Neither did nor would I.

> Being able to invest and get competitive returns should be democratized. It is a known fact that the richest have historically been able to invest their money and get high returns while the rest of us had to settle for savings accounts (0.5% return currently).

It is already democratized, and your last statement isn't even remotely true. Low-cost, whole-market index funds have been available to Joe Public for nearly fifty years now, and in those intervening years have represented essentially the optimum in terms of risk-adjusted returns.

Robinhood has not democratized investing, they've democratized day trading. It's like praising Harrah's for removing the rake (the casino's cut) from their poker games and promoting Hold Em to complete novices. Sure, some of their new customers will make it rich. And there are plenty of highly skilled poker players who've made a career out of it. But that's not the norm; the net result is just bringing more chum for the sharks to feed on.

As I said elsewhere, if Robinhood had figured out a way to get people to buy and hold boring-as-shit index funds through gamification and meme culture, it would be an achievement of immeasurable benefit. Unfortunately that's not what they've done. They've rebranded day trading as investing and brought a heaping mass of fresh, unsuspecting victims to be exploited by financial professionals with entire teams of researchers backing their plays.

The only reason the whole thing hasn't completely disintegrated is because of an unprecedented, once-in-a-lifetime bull run where it's been virtually impossible not to make money. There's no way this works out in their customers' favor in the long run.
Ah; the edit makes more sense.

We're each entitled to our own perspective, but fwiw, I think you'll struggle to find any cohort less accountable than the police. Whereas "the mob", being traditionally a phrase used broadly by established powers to derogate the opposition, is almost by definition always the cohort held most to account in any given situation.

Furthermore, perhaps one of the biggest false assumptions many seem to have about abolition movements is that there isn't reasoned proposals for (existing or new) accountable institutions to fill potential voids left by abolition.
In other news, Facebook is buying Equifax.
From the article you linked: "There is a rare alternative definition for the bus factor, namely: the number of people who are indispensable for the project. In other words, it is the minimum number of people who are a single point of failure. If using this definition, then a high bus factor is considered a bad thing (since the loss of any person included destroys the project), and zero is considered the ideal bus factor."

Perhaps "bus risk" would be a better term for this usage?
You're right of course, no joke. I was born with a smartass speak-truth-to-power gene that I've chosen not to suppress with respect to important political matters (I suppress it at work on technical matters, but even there it peeps through and has a more positive outcome, usually).

It worries me only in that the fallout may harm my kids. But OTOH I also enjoy believing that my kids will grow up to respect my principles and integrity, despite the cost.

A better analogy would be if wheelchair companies were causing people to be ashamed of using their legs and preying on a societal hatred of "walking people" and making everyone feel like they need a wheelchair to be accepted in society at all.

If weight loss things were FDA approved, effective, and didn't carry the weight of a society that tells people that being overweight (or even just feeling overweight) makes you less respected as a human being, then I'd totally agree with you that they shouldn't be banned outright. But unfortunately with how we currently look at weight loss it's not as simple.
“For decades, the United States has participated in a self-defeating international tax competition, lowering our corporate tax rates only to watch other nations lower theirs in response. The result was a global race to the bottom: Who could lower their corporate rate further and faster? No nation has won this race,”

Translation, "We want to have these corporations in our country so badly that we keep paying more and more for them in order to compete with the other countries that also want them. We now want to collude with these other countries to keep our costs lower."

Sounds an awful lot like price or salary fixing. Who is actually going to pay for this in the end?

> The platform must come provisioned with the correct keys in the UEFI Signature database (db) to allow Windows to boot. It must also support secure authenticated updates to the databases.

I'm not sure how to contact Microsoft about this issue though.
This poll doesn't say much about whether Americans are willing to pay to stop climate change, it just says a lot about whether Americans trust their government with a blank check to fight climate change. I wouldn't support "giving them money and letting them figure out the best way to use it", either. Let's hear a specific policy proposal.

For the same reason I think "roads" and "endpoints on the road" are different. For the same reason I think "electricity" and "water" should be utilities. It's a pipe. I just think they're different things.

colluding: to act together secretly or illegally in order to deceive or cheat someone.

And please: capital flight being the results of abusive policy? Corporations and wealthy individuals will always try to avoid giving the fair share to the society that enabled their wealth in the first place: the case where wealth moves because of abusive policies is so marginal in the ocean of pure greed. Some countries are fiscal parasites and benefit from the theft of other societies, and this is how we deal with parasites. Should we just watch wealth evaporate away to offshore stashes, wealth that actually belongs to the people?

> the computer defaulted to a lower resolution out of the box for some reason.

I don't trust storing keys in the hardware. The hardware can fail and you loose everything, or the hardware can have backdoor. It's not difficult to make and memorize a strong password in the end to use it for disk encryption.
> it sounds great to say, "Make the corporations pay their share!"

the Global minimum tax rate is only tangentially related to the 'make corporations pay their share' problem. The real problem is a 'race to the bottom' where corporations will shop around and put tax headquarters in the country with the smallest tax rate (i.e., Ireland).

> I suspect in most cases the tax burden is just shifted

The big question for me is: is it really a significant tax burden? or do the companies choose nations with the lowest tax rate because they are seeking a competitive advantage, and thereby inducing all their competitors to make a similiar choice?

the minimum tax rate is trying to level the playing field in this regard.
What we really need is new credit line companies (credit cards, loans, etc.) that don't rely on the those shitty organizations.

Author here: just noting I picked a title that was more fitting for HN's character constraints.
In Switzerland there was a vote 2 weeks ago about whether we want to support a law to reduce CO2 output by our population. The law was very clear how the money would be spent: improve heating, direct pay to poor citizens, and many others.

Cost:

- 50 cents per gallon of gas (our gas is about 6$ per gallon)

- 20$ to 100$ for a plane ticket

The law was refused by 51% of Swiss citizen.

What really killed me was that the youngest part of the population, the ones who will be the most impacted by the climate crisis, voted the strongest against it.
Switzerland being one of the richest countries, I cannot understand how an increase of 10% on luxury items (plane tickets) can have this impact.

Funny story: now that the law has been refused, the oil companies announced a 15% increase of the gas price... Nobody is protesting so far.
