This is what CAT was built to address https://www.catnmsplan.com/

you send your order to your broker/dealer, they send it to their OMS, which sends it to Citadel, who sends it to their internalisation engine..

All of these messages, including order Identifiers to create the linkages are sent to FINRA.

So your broker sends order "123ABC" to Citadel, FINRA gets this and can trace your order back up and down the "stack" however they want.
You're right, it doesn't. They way they phrased their response, however, definitely starts heading in the "absolute joke" direction, at least to me.
It's worse than that. It's also something similar to no true Scotsman, because presumably the act of getting caught is the only piece of evidence used to argue that they're complete idiots.
I am not uncertain. (Billions reference)

To elaborate - use someone who gets their hands dirty gathering info then communicates their certainty in code and in person.
This.

Wonder what this person's teammates might have to say about them?

"They just started and think they have all the answers without even considering there might be complex and higher-level reasons why a decision was made."

"This supposedly smart person joined our team and does not respect the strengths our diverse experiences and skills bring to make the sum of the team greater than it's parts."

"This person is a condescending jerk who treats everyone who disagrees with anything they say as inferior to them."
Insider trading is a game of cat and mouse...go big or don't go...even if you get caught, have the legal side ready in advance, plus various trusts protecting all the real value...plea out, do a few years or community service, then enjoy the profits they never knew existed...
Martha Stewart went to prison for lying about a trade.
Way back when "X10" was a thing, a friend of mine made a webui for his lighting controls, he then published this on IRC.

He realized this was a bad idea when people kept turning his lights on and off for days lol. He'd neglected to put any real security or controls on it heh.

I'm glad to see that same spirit is alive and well on HN.
> All I need is file I/O and the ability to split strings.

...until there is a newline inside a field.

The moronic quoting mechanism of CSV is one half of the problem; people like you, who try to parse it by "just splitting strings" is the other half. The third half is that it's locale dependent and after 30+ years, people still don't use Unicode.
How does networking work? Can you create a network Altos, any network apps? like talk or finger?
I find this in a lot of Netflix shows, where the season is ostensibly building to some revelation about who the killer or mole or whoever is, but each episode plays out like it was based only on prompts from the previous ones and not according to some planned story arc. At the end you don't see everything fall into place, you learn that there was a relationship that was not alluded to in any way through the rest of the season that suddenly makes someone the killer.
Don't get emotional. NASA shows us pictures and publishes scientific data. CIA leaks anonymously to sockpuppet access journalists. Can you really not tell the difference? They claim they lie because it's their job to do so. [0] Actually they lie so that their employers (that's us!) won't be forced to acknowledge how little CIA knows about anything.

If CIA actually had "powerful intelligence", they would occasionally be right about something. A month ago they were sure the Afghan government could control Taliban for at least a week. 15 years ago they were sure Osama was actually in Afghanistan. 20 years ago they had no idea he was planning terrorism. 35 years ago they had no idea that Soviet communism was in a weak position.

Of course, some CIA reptiles might have known about all of those things. Since they didn't communicate that knowledge to USA elected officials or the USA public, that doesn't really count.

What you've seen is worse than that.

All you need to do to cause trouble right now, would be to get a bad image, hash it yourself, make a collision and distribute that.

Let's say for the time being that the list hashes themselves will be server-side. You won't ever get that list, but you don't need it in order to cause a collision. You would need your own supply of CSAM to hash yourself, which while distasteful is clearly also not impossible.
The USPS is restricted by the Constitution and other legislation on what it can do.

From: https://www.uspis.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/USPIS-FAQs....

> 4. Can Postal Inspectors open mail if they feel it may contain something illegal?
First-Class letters and parcels are protected against search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, and, as such, cannot be opened without a search warrant. If there is probable cause to believe the contents of a First-Class letter or parcel violate federal law, Postal Inspectors can obtain a search warrant to open the mail piece. Other classes of mail do not contain private correspondence and therefore may be opened without a warrant.

Companies hosting your data aren't similarly restricted (though if the US government wants access then they'd be restricted by the Constitution and legislation again). A company's ability to look at whatever you give them is only restricted by your contract with them and the technical limitations created by how you share it (upload encrypted files where they don't have the key? they can't really do much). They may have some legal restrictions on some kinds of data, but it's not going to be uniform across the globe so you'll have to take care with which companies you choose to host your unencrypted data.

You are very much making a point about the current design zeitgeist, not evergreen principles. More complex, 3D logos were common as recently as the 2000s.
For me, I think that brilliant[0] might be one of the vest resources out there! (no affiliation)

Their "learn to think" tag line is totally true, and after trying to learn sciences and math by myself (my formal training is in liberal arts so...) by reading text books and such, brilliant was absolutely brilliant!

Instead of throwing at you a bunch of facts and formulas and whatnot, they aim to teach concepts with real-life applications and thus taking you from what you know to the thing that they are teaching (something truly rare in western fact-based education)

Anyways, I can't recommended them enough! Good luck!

I'm not arguing that these aren't real problems, but neither are unique problems of the the client side scanning solution. It's the same or maybe even worse with server side scanning.

I'd assume FB, Google & co have some solution to b), so Apple should be able to figure out something. For c), at least Apple takes extra precautions by requiring the photos to be in two separate database provided by different governments. (Maybe other cloud providers do that, too, I don't know).
I work in finance. Thank you for the laugh.

Compliance is a cost center. The Redditesque fantasy of compliance departments overflowing with resources because the company loves law for the sake of law or thinks that going above and beyond makes you less likely to get screwed than just doing what your lawyers tell you the laws says you need to do are just that, fantasy.

Compliance departments get tasked with making the company comply, nothing more, nothing less. And they're mostly given the resources to do that, nothing more nothing less.
fun fact: ascii (and utf-8) has separators! There's a "file separator", "group separator", "record separator", and "unit separator".|
And I already do, but as a default standard I would just much rather see a phone large enough to never need iCloud but of course I didn't address the other issues that will now come from a proprietary phone. I will make good on buying a Librem 5 in the interim and throw the iPhone right in the dumpster though if they push forward with on device scanning and such. I never leave GPS turned on, I don't give any apps access to such features, and I buy phones outright in cash and put them on prepaid from the start. This is not good enough. If the next set of surveillance features are scanning messages, photos, videos on personal devices then it's nothing but a rented device and the only option are custom fully open source devices.
I'd be more interested in whether you could take an image of, say, an underage dog, and tweak a vaguely similar image of a grown dog so that it was a match. That's what will get innocent people thrown in jail.
and obviously a contentious issue...

they probably already do server side scanning, and probably regularly find stuff.

assuming that was true (which it very well could be) it would be insanely irresponsible to roll out e2e at scale without something like this...

there are probably hundreds of people or more at apple who can legitimately access the contents of a user account. e2e with inbound scanning would completely ameliorate that.
This is stupid model that mistakes brevity for insight.

But for the sake of argument Let’s assume the function metaphor to be true. The value of the employee to the firm isn’t the value of the of f(x) at a given point in time, it’s the value under the curve for an expected time horizon, so given the f’(x) and f(0) and the time horizon it’s not clear that either is better. Apart from that it’s very unlikely that f(x) is linear. It’s very unlikely that f(x) will grow to infinity. More likely is that the improvement will top out somewhere and maybe you should think about higher derivatives.

Martha Stewart was charged with insider trading - I'm mostly certain she lost money in the trade.

Also, she was convicted for LYING about insider trading.
Low-mid value insider trading, tax fraud and other similar white-collar crimes are a terrible idea. They are ridiculously easy to detect, and the authorities will go after you because $3M is enough of a haul to set an example and further some careers, but not enough to give you the means to hire fancy lawyers to defend yourself.

Conversely, is there a reason we should be optimizing the regulations we, actual human beings, live under for the convenience of national/international corporations?
Based on the title, I expected this to be a game from the 50s or earlier, not 2013.
Apples move gives away another piece of the puzzle to mass monitoring and surveillance.

Apples move brings it one step closer for FISA courts and silent warrants to have access beyond what we send over the network to now what resides on our phones.

Apple is giving mass surveillance a foot hold into living on and monitoring data on our personal phones.

So somebody found the terrorist watchlist and didn't upload it anywhere or start a torrent, but instead took some screenshots and gave vague descriptions of the data to journalists?

As another canadian, here's something that occurred to me recently: we like to sling around the oligopoly argument when talking about telecoms, but when I bothered to look a bit into it, rather than finding some tightly knit mafia-like boys club, what I found is that the landscape is quite fragmented and messy (e.g. look at the scope of Telus' operations in Ontario vs Quebec, or look at how Sasktel operates, or look at companies like Fibrestream)

The big telecom lobbying argument vs CRTC about how urban markets need to subsidize rural infrastructure costs is not something 95% of canadians like to hear, but it kinda makes sense (They say rural infra simply isn't cost effective because Canada is so expansive, but you expect high speed Internet access in your Muskoka cottage, right?)

Banking is kind of in a similar boat in the sense that it's an industry with economies of scale effect, so naturally there are going to be big players. Even smaller players like Tangerine need to make "big boy" investments like call centers. ICBC is another example of a bank that isn't the big 5 and yet has brick and mortar branches to serve a highly specific niche.

OpenBanking doesn't mean that TD et al somehow get to tighten the noose on smaller banks to their own advantage; it's actually on them to implement the APIs. If Tangerine can't keep up with other banks improving their technology, that's their own fault. What the whole thing means is that Plaid doesn't get to have root access to your banking.
if it were possible to make a camera with a GPU or FPGA, there would probably be something, but it isn't. FPGAs and GPUs aren't (and can't be coerced to become) light sensors or structured light emitters.

What’re they meant to say? “Get rekt”?.

Whichever support rep responded to this ticket clearly couldn’t do what the person wanted, but felt bad, so they ended their response with the hope that the person was able to find another solution.
Funny you mention Ramanujan… It’s thought that his dislike of English food greatly contributed to his poor health, as he couldn’t find any good vegetarian food in England. This culminated in him dying of TB at a very young age.

It’s hard to imagine what math would be like today if he had made it another 40 years.
FWIW I use Schwab for banking and I was able to connect YNAB to Schwab without entering my password. It looks like Schwab supports read-only API access, and Plaid takes advantage of that to avoid needing your credentials.

As an added plus, you can keep 2FA enabled. Schwab does 2FA through an app so it's a touch above SMS-based 2FA (although only a single app is supported, Symantic VIP Access, rather than generic support for apps like Google Authenticator).

I also hate Plaid's model where you provide Plaid your credentials, and I've never entered my credentials into Plaid.
Is a game that came out 8 years ago considered that old?

Grand Theft Auto V also came out in 2013. Minecraft is from 2009. CS GO is from 2012 but is very alike the original from 2000. All of those are still some of the biggest games today I believe.
I first thought wgpu was WebGPU, i googled and it is not

I reject the premise that CSAM scanning is a solution to anything, especially if the goal is to E2EE encrypt the rest of the photos.

My understanding from following this debacle is that law-enforcement don't have resources to investigate everyone who just have CSAM they focus on people who match and have other photos of novel abuse they can track down, and here they will only get an account name and a list of 30 CSAM photos the user had.

All this system will do is drive up Apples numbers on a "total child abuse found" scoreboard and do very little to help any actual children in need.
That story is almost completely made up (bear encounters have been getting similarly worse throughout the state, there's nothing special about that town)
If they don't filter it out... why should anyone care? Kinda feels like you sent off for a "become a resume writer in 24 hours" kit and segued from there into being an internet bore who thinks he's a brand. Literally all your comments on HN are "RESUME WRITER HERE!" as if that's anything other than a recruiter who found an easier scam. I've no doubt there's money in it, but realistically you could just be the identity function and still place almost all your customers.

My memory (might be incorrect) is that both Twitter and LinkedIn use the Google cache directly, rather than running their own.
These types of orders are sent as "crosses" where "citadel" reports they are both the "buyer" and "seller".

As an example, according to the NYSE FIX Spec, this is 54 (Side) = 8 (Cross).

This is how they are able to "internalise", by crossing retail flow vs their house account.

CATNMS https://www.catnmsplan.com/ helps with this.
Genuine question because I don't really understand how IDs work in the US: is there a database or a system that would allow an agency to keep track of all of your IDs, like driving licenses from different states, etc.? Is there anything similar that institutions like banks could use? Also, my understanding is that most Americans use a driving license as their ID. Are passports the only national, i.e., not state-level, IDs available to Americans?
iPhones already come in 256GB and 512GB versions, though you have to go up to the iPhone Pro line to get 512GB.
OpenPOWER systems (POWER8 and up) swing both ways. That said, my POWER9 Raptor Talos II runs little endian, though it is completely capable of running big (and at the low OPAL level in fact does), and some operating systems on it support that.

No, it’s a fairly simple social engineering attack and the telco customer service will do it for you at the cost of a SIM card.
Because then you'd have to escape backslashes.
You can also trade certain big name stocks anonymously via cryptocurrencies that track them. I think FTX has some.
I think the idea is to use an entity that you don't have any sort of formal agreement or paperwork with. Eg. work out a verbal agreement with an old friend that you trust, send them the insider info in an encrypted or analog way, then they send you a cut through some unrelated method. That all seems plausible for a normal motivated person to execute on and very hard to prove.
We had a Xerox Star, with 2 giant floppy disks...giant paper weight.
> The core issue is that bevy uses a subset of wgpu so your own focused and limited abstraction layer will almost always be easier to implement and maintain

This isn't obviously true. WebGPU API surface is fairly small (unlike Vulkan), and Bevy may easily use most of it.

Generally speaking, depending on another library always involve some amount of trust. Going the path of zero trust is also possible, but is much less effective.
Damn, the kind of progress we saw in games just 10 years ago has really stopped hasn’t it?
Your scheme only captures the biggest idiots. There are plenty of ways that require much more sophisticated methods to detect. An example is insider reciprocity: an insider at company A trades inside information with an insider at company B. They both profit from the insider information but neither trades in the instrument for which they could easily be flagged as an insider.
All I know is that when people give me a CSV I'm really happy and I get to work on their request right away.

When they give me literally anything else I get pissed off and push their task lower in my queue.
Cops no-knock raid the wrong houses all the time; what makes you think that the procedure you outlined above will be followed without error? Especially against suspected child abusers, from an anti-child-abuse agency?

What if the visual check gets accidentally signed off on, or even gets fraudulently marked as positive by a burned out/lazy/competent-but-distracted employee? There are just so many failure modes for this dragnet that all end with innocent people suffering a very difficult process, even if they don't eventually land in prison. I don't think it's unreasonable to not want to be volunteered to participate.
Unfortunately, Australia's APIs (for anything useful), also have a high barrier to entry for just anyone looking to build an app on top of them:

> To access consumer APIs, you'll need to be accredited by the ACCC and get the customer's consent.

Accreditation [0] has a lot of requirements - my paying child support was considered disqualifying. Parts of accreditation make sense, and should keep things more secure, other parts... Make less.

Mandatory AFCA membership, for example, only makes sense at first glance. The ombudsman can still field complaints without it. Consumer Rights still exist without it. However, the mandatory membership is being used by the ACCC as a replacement for yearly auditing.

As someone who's developed and maintained platform backends for all sorts of obscure platforms (actually, it's still my day job!), I don't think wgpu backends are going to be difficult to develop for any of the remaining platforms APIs still alive.

It's a pretty well-thought-out API that mirrors most of the modern rendering abstractions seen in game engines.
Mandatory insider trading training is required at my FAANG employer. I think it's 1-2 hours rather than 4 hours, but still substantial.
I’ve owned my M3 for over two years now and finally did a long trip that required supercharging. I’ve used them before but was pleasantly surprised how many there are around and that there was always available stalls. Maybe it’s different on the west coast but here on the east coast it’s been fine. We always have to stop on road trips, so taking a 15-20min stop and charging is no biggie.
It wasn't great that it was called Screen anyway. GNU Screen predated screen.so by decades.
The little endian mode in POWER7 was not frequently used and I believe has limitations. It's officially a thing for POWER8 and up.

That said, my POWER9 runs little, though it's perfectly capable of running big.
Apple is one of the most popular stocks, and one of the biggest companies. After a quick search i found this [1] quote. I bet if you asked most people "will apples stock go up tomorrow? its expected they sold a lot of iPhones" most people would say yes, and if you said "will apples stock go up tomorrow? its expected they sold less than expected numnber of iPhones" then they would say no

I think the issue is not that most people can't "guess" the outcome, its that they can't afford (in the short term) the money to invest. Many people take years into their career before they can significantly invest and save money. Especially true for people who can afford the risk of options trading, which is more risky than "buy and hold" investing.

The article in question mentions netflix engineers who make large 6 figure salaries. They could probably afford to make well educated bets on many other stocks and profit handsomely after several years.

> Birinyi Associates studied Apple’s post-earnings stock behavior since 2009. It found Apple stock has gapped up, or shot higher 65 percent of the time in after-hours trading, right after its earnings report, with an average pop of 4.7 percent. On the next day, whether it gapped up or down, it has traded lower 65 percent of the time for a 0.92 percent decline.

Hey man thanks for this...one thing I never want to do is to make a spectacle of myself and my predicament, so I am always really hesitant to bring it up bcuz, yeah, I get it I fucked up my life pretty damn good and people in general have plenty of problems themselves.

Yes I'm looking into perhaps putting together a classroom on one of those pretty killer live educational apps that are available these days. I used to teach guitar 30 years ago and I really enjoyed it, although I'm not sure I'm the best teacher ever.
Haha awesome. Sounds like you know how to live your life... it's admirable. I'm considering the same thing. I have a good amount saved but my creativity and general expression is suffering a lot.
You didn't do it yourself. You have no idea what you're talking about in terms of the sweetheart deals Buffett got in return for his capital. The fact that you're patting yourself on the back for doing the same thing as Buffett is so laughable it reflects hilariously poorly on you.
