>Not in America they won't lol, it's illegal. In fact it's illegal for US persons to trade securities out of a non-SEC regulated brokerage account

Is this comment referring companies issuing equity directly on-chain?

Of course it's currently illegal.

That doesn't mean it's illegal in all global jurisdictions or that savvy traders won't find a way to have financial liberty, even if it means moving countries/jurisdictions, opening up a corporation elsewhere etc..

>Isn't the new monetization strategy in crypto literally to reorder blocks and front-run transactions due to the massive time quanta?

What a disingenuous way to frame the concept of MEV.. That's quite an unobjective bias you have.

>The little guys as always are the most likely to get hurt.

The little guys are most likely to get hurt when there's a lack of transparency. In an internet age with transparent tools, the little guys should have freedom with accountability (e.g. they can't even invest in startups).
>A fund that just backs raw R&D ... with no referrals or exit history ... only evals the tech on merit

Define 'merit'.

From the perspective of an investor, merit is commercial potential. Small traction in a large market shows commercial potential.

'Raw R&D' without commercial potential is definitely the domain of universities, not VCs.

isn't the US Military the equivalent of the "Manchu" here? (The US Military wiped out the natives, took all their land, and brought and enforced slavery on this land?) Didn't the US just annex Hawaii as an official state a few years ago? Isn't all of California land that the military just kinda stole from Mexico?

If the hedge funds and prime brokers are allowed to sell the unsuspecting public a bunch of counterfeit shorts, why not let the crypto market do the same?

I’m only half joking.
For a big engine like this there's a lot more work involved then cross-compiling the code to WASM. All lower-level parts that sit on top of OS APIs like IO, 3D-rendering, audio, networking, etc... need to be ported over, and the browser is a very different runtime environment than native OS APIs, so sometimes it's not even possible without a lot of compromises which may "drag down" other parts of the engine.
Only if the domain uses google's MX as the public facing MX. If it delivers to an intermediate MX for filtering or archiving or ??? and then redelivers to google, it's not visible.

Of course, if you don't set the public MX to google, blackberry phones won't use the right SMTP for outgoing mail, and then mail will fail DMARC, because you can't actually configure the SMTP server anyway. Hope they fixed that in BB10, before they stopped selling phones.
It's been almost 14 years, so where are the "real cryptographers" and "real computer scientists?" I suspect they've been searching and realized there's no "there" there.

Thai comment makes no sense whatsoever and i do wonder what absurd world you imagine. This law gives companies in the EU the legal grounds to do some scanning measures, it is neither an obligation to do so, nor when companies do so is anyone checking whether you, a person outside the EU, happen to have European ancestors. Logically of course that applies to residents, as would the laws in any other place.
> Do you think it will be an outlier in a year? In two years?

I think it will remain a outlier until that becomes the easier/more economical way for them to do business. Right now there is so much low hanging fruit that I'd see no reason to invest in a bucket truck to get at the stuff further up the tree. I'd say your prediction is at least a few decades away.

Why would we voluntarily give up the security afforded by the SEC?

The front-running thing is literal observable fact. If you know what transactions are to be included in the next block, and you're in charge of ordering them on a multi-minute timeframe, and you know pricing on exchanges in real-time why would you not take advantage? Why would you not front run? There's no law stopping you is there?

> The little guys are most likely to get hurt when there's a lack of transparency. In an internet age with transparent tools, the little guys should have freedom with accountability (e.g. they can't even invest in startups).

Which is exactly the issue with the blockchain. You're given a peek at the chain but that's not what matters.
My point originally not whether anyone would comply, but whether such a measure would ever be worded, let alone enforced.

The op article doesn’t convince.
> was to enshrine the central myth of early America—that the origins and long-term viability of the American experiment rested on the image of “the yeoman farmer as patriot and model citizen.”

It's not a myth. It's the truth about early America. Big businesses really didn't arrive in force until after the Civil War.
No, and this is incredibly naive. Their entire business model is based on evading KYC/AML requirements. Hell, CZ even sued to cover up the leaked “Tai Chi” document that outlined their strategy.

If you think this is a good idea, I'm happy to sell you and other "savvy traders" the Brooklyn Bridge.

Benefits: no intermediaries and absolutely no money wasted on lawyers or due diligence. Drawbacks: you don't have a bridge, or even an option on one.
Saying it's uninformed doesn't make it so, nice try at front-loading some argument from intimidation though.

> For the record, UK has much worse laws already on the books, as do the US or Australia.

First of all, who said that the US or UK didn't? That's misdirection. This story is about the EU. What I posited, is member states leaving the EU, those that are heavily concerned about privacy rights. What would that have to do with the US laws?

> Also this lae doesn't oblige anyone to anything, its a temporary law that comes in as another law ran out

A temporary mass surveillance bill. Yeah right. You were saying something about uninformed.
> Do you also oppose people having more than 2 children?

Yeah, if you want to keep the aggregate demand of your society consistent, it makes sense to have fewer than 2 children. (I don't necessarily support government prevention people having more than two children, but a really self-aware group of humans wouldn't spawn uncontrollably.)

> At what point does "immigration" become "mass immigration"

The fact that you're asking me that question implies that my definition is drastically different than your definition. So- I think we can agree that if the entire population of Omaha, Nebraska (475,000) moved over the span of one month to Tahiti (280,000), that could be called "mass immigration", with disastrous consequences for the local culture, politics, ecosystem, etc. So, if you'd call that "mass immigration", which I think you'd be foolish not to, what about that makes it "mass immigration"? Whatever your definition is, it'll be different from mine.
> Brexit was a slim non-binding referendum run ammock for party-internal politics of the Tories. Absurd from start to finish and now you want to blame the EU for the consequences?

I'm not saying that I agree with how things have turned out, nor am I blaming the EU, rather, just pointing out that they do have much control over global commerce.

And this is anecdotal evidence of that.

The EU could've had an internal border within it's own market, but that wasn't an option because they didn't want Ireland to be cut off. Both the EU and UK had the same desire, but the EU had the upper hand due to their economic size and control.
In [1], pages 10 and 11 are the actual directive, the rest is the reasoning. And, although I don't know the previous directives and regulations, it reads as if this is essentially an extension of an exception to the ePrivacy directive for another five years.

Birgit Sippel says in her statement to the president of the parliament [2]:
> Dieses Gesetz ist eine Übergangslösung für drei Jahre. Die Kommission hatte versprochen, noch vor der Sommerpause einen neuen, dauerhaften Rahmen für die Aufdeckung von Kindesmissbrauch vorzuschlagen. Jetzt dauert es noch bis September oder Oktober. Dafür erwarte ich einen deutlich verbesserten Vorschlag. Die langfristige Lösung muss sich mindestens an den Datenschutzgarantien der temporären Lösung orientieren. Sie muss zwingend Lösungen für das gezieltere Scannen privater Kommunikation finden, sonst wird sie vor nationalen und europäischen Gerichten kaum Bestand haben.

Translated (by myself):
> This law is a short term solution for three years. The commission promised a permanent solution to combat child abuse before the summer break. Now, this will take until September or October. Thus, I await a much better proposal. The long term solution must have at least the same guarantees for data protection as the short term solution. It [the long term solution] must have solutions for purposeful/targeted ("gezielt") scanning of private communication, otherwise it will not hold up in front of national or European courts.

So maybe things do not change that much right now.

But back to [1], I am especially curious about article 3(e):
> the provider annually publishes a report on its related processing, including on the type and volumes of data processed, number of cases identified, measures applied to select and improve key indicators, numbers and ratios of errors (false positives) of the different technologies deployed, measures applied to limit the error rate and the error rate achieved, the retention policy and the data protection safeguards applied

Do you know if and where such statistics are published? (today?)

Same. The old interface is much better.
The media circus was definitely not unbiased. It is kind of odd how citizens in the EU regard it as a 'victory'
Most places in the US do not have functioning governments, to be fair, including at the national level.
As a reminder of what the EU has done previously: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive

>According to the Data Retention Directive, EU member states had to store citizens' telecommunications data for a minimum of six months and at most twenty-four months.

And they knew that this was illegal. They did it anyway. Same political body that now talks about protecting privacy.
So theology need not make any rational sense whatsoever? It is more an affirmation/fiction/opinion that represents the authors’ own intuitions about divine matters, or perhaps proceeds from a survey/study of previous hierology/sacred texts? Is an experience of personal revelation therefore necessary to study the subject? You believe a man must believe in a (presumably exclusively Christian?) God, as defined in canonical scriptures, as interpreted by the Catholic church, to study or rationalise about theology? Augustine defined ‘theologia’ as: "…reasoning or discussion concerning the Deity..." - but he got the ‘rationem’ bit wrong? Aristotle must also have been a misguided old fuddy-duddy when he stated that there were three aspects of theoretical philosophy: mathematics, physics and theology - or rather he didn’t mean theology as you define it, but instead something more akin to metaphysics? Thomas Aquinas defines theology as: ‘…what is taught by God, teaches of God and leads to God’ - this seems much closer to what you suggest? A person must first believe, and then an understanding, or more knowledge, of the nature of a god, that you already believe in, will more likely accrue to the initiate after appropriate study, but only given that prior belief? Would you agree with Thomas Paine:
“The study of theology, as it stands in Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion. Not anything can be studied as a science, without our being in possession of the principles upon which it is founded; and as this is the case with Christian theology, it is therefore the study of nothing.”
…or Protagoras: "Concerning the gods I cannot know either that they exist or that they do not exist, or what form they might have, for there is much to prevent one's knowing: the obscurity of the subject and the shortness of man's life."
…understand that might be a bit heavy duty/tough ask for a HN comment - but I am genuinely interested if you can point me to useful passages/sources/help me understand Aquinas’/your ideas better…

Send a small autonomous robot; at the destination it builds a high-bandwidth radio receiver and factories; then 'upload' the colonists by radio. Much more practical if your civilization is reasonably advanced.
GCP also pulled out of consideration the first time around due to activist employee backlash.
Pretty much. If you have a datacenter in your local vicinity, it's also not hard to find it: It's the building with far more air conditioning equipment than seems reasonable for a building it's size, with security cameras every two and a half feet.
It will not be implemented, of course. But it's a bit interesting to bring up MEV and the NBBO rule together. The situation in the US is that retail order flow is goes to wholesalers, and wholesalers subscribe to the SIP feed (which is substantially delayed) and the direct feeds from venues, and they can decide whether they want to offer price improvement compared to the *delayed SIP feed* based on the more recent data from the direct feeds. It doesn't seem like retail is getting a great deal in that situation.

"Brexit shows, imho, that you can’t have the boring stuff without the tight integration"

This is definitely not true. There are tons of 0-tarrif trade agreements in this world, and even those without border checks for commercial goods - all without political integration.

NAFTA/USMCA have been doing this for 35 years and it's very effective.

Brexit doesn't show 'how good the EU is' it shows the opposite: that UK, Switzerland and Norway well get along quite well outside of the political body.

The EEC was entirely uncontentious - everyone wants some version of that. No arguments from anyone there.

But the argument that the 'Political Layer over the EEC, i.e. the EU, is necessary' might have some merit, but it's probably more complicated, and it might not even be true.

The real comparison is no between EU/US/China - but between the EU and a more comprehensive version of the EEC - i.e. some kind of 'deep trade integration' but without a political body, and without an ECJ with 'Legal Supremacy'.

This surveillance issue highlights one of those areas where I'm not so sure the EU would be perfectly ideal for supranational laws. Treaty-based regulation - for sure. But laws under ECJ Supremacy ... I'm not so sure. It's going to be interesting to see how this jives with the German Basic Law and their de-facto opt-out over constitutional issues.
That link says O3DE uses EC, not ECS. These are terribly named and often cause confusion, but they are different.

In "Entity Component" systems (think Unity), entities own components that give them data and behavior.

In "Entity Component System" systems (think Unity DOTS), components are just data, and behavior is driven by systems that live outside entities.

They are similar in some aspects and both are radically different than a deep OOP hierarchy, but ECS is quite more hardcore on decoupling. It's been a few years and it's still not unanimous whether adopting Unity DOTS over regular Unity is easy or even worth it, for instance.

Still, Godot isn't very OOP either, working mostly with composition of behaviors.
The people you're replying to aren't glossing over it, the posted article (and the comments predicting the end of the European tech industry) is glossing over it. "European Parliament approves mass surveillance" really means "European Parliament suspends portion of privacy law that prevents third parties from voluntarily monitoring information entrusted to them" - as they're able to do in the US.

The European Parliament isn't (in this action, at least) compelling anyone to surveil anything.
Definitely have experienced the struggle of trying to get anyone to pay attention to a hard (not moonshot, just hard) tech pitch. If you're very patient, the military will pay, but it's a long road and more paperwork than tech.
Yeah, kinda. But the term ECS definitely already existed before the "data-oriented revolution" for engines that used components attached to game entities to achieve "feature composition". Not sure what the "S" stood for at the time, probably not "Entities/Components/Systems" (because "Systems" is the new thing that actually matters), maybe simply "Entity-Component System" as in "this is an Entity-Component system".
No one is saying no intermediaries, and certainly no one is saying no due dilligence though..

C has bitfields. These bitfields correspond to a specific bit order. I think in normal x86 it's little bit endianity - the first bit in a bitfield is the least significant. It's not specified in the C spec, but I've seen code depending on it nonetheless.

You are aware that every EU country votes on this, right? Every single piece of EU legislation you might have disliked was voted on by the UK government while it was a member.

> Is there anything special about singletons here?

No, aside from the fact that the root commenter clearly understands the issue with global variables, but not necessarily singletons.

I'm trying to use the singleton concept as a "teaching bridge" moment, as the Singleton is clearly "like a global variable" in terms of the data-race, but generalizes to any object in your code.

The commenter I'm replying seems to think that global-variables are the only kind of variable where this problem occurs. He's wrong. All objects and all variables have this problem.

What do you think about binance trading tokenized stocks like Tesla and Apple?

For a company being this big, not even sharing where they are hq'ed raises big red flags.

Even the simple fact that binance uses mainly Tether is very concerning too. In combination with a lot of users limited to withdraw funds, i suspect most of their "backed" money is just a fad.
What is the 'carrot' for Spain, France, Italy that goes beyond what the EEC provided?

Why would a 'really great trade agreement' not provide 'most, if not all of the carrot' with respect to economic upsides?

Insightful comment.

How would anyone possibly change the perception that you have to be a lawyer or MBA or you're useless? When looked at the way you suggest, this problem is enormous. I'm not sure we'd ever solve it. We just have to accommodate ourselves to a society with lawyers, MBAs, and software people everywhere.
