Their counterparties are all sophisticated institutional investors and these things are generally traded on a buyer-beware basis. Sure there may have been some actual wrongdoing that went unpunished, but the nature of these transactions is that the cases are likely be civil rather than criminal.

The real reason for the lack of convictions is that there just weren't many cases of big bad wall street bankers defrauding ordinary people. That's typically what results in criminal convictions because 1) the law is far more protective of unsophisticated individuals than of institutional investors and 2) prosecutors have a much easier time winning cases and also benefitting politically from pursuing cases with relatable victims. And the reason why people wanted bankers to go to jail is because they thought wall street bankers did bad things to ordinary people. In reality though, the best cases against Wall Street folks are ones where the victims are also institutional investors (which is often included within the broader definition of Wall Street). The traders at Goldman Sachs outsmarting the traders at AIG just doesn't make for a particularly good fraud case, the same way Enron defrauding individual investors including their employees. And from the public's perspective, they are all part of the same class of people. And where ordinary people were directly involved, they were the ones defrauding lenders (and by extension, Wall Street and so on) by lying on their loan applications.

> Piercing the corporate veil refers to the act of holding a company’s owners and executives liable for the company’s debts. This can include either debts owed to commercial creditors, debts owed to judgment creditors, or both. [1]

In a c-corp, everyone is generally absolved of all wrong doing personally. That's the point of the corporate structure. The company & its assets are held liable instead. Peircing the corporate veil is the main way you can go after people & to my knowledge only the board of directors (maybe some shareholders?) & officers are liable. A common short-hand is "C-level executive" but the latter is often a title the company makes up & may not designate an officer. CEO & CFO I believe are statutorily required to be officers but I'm not sure if all statutory C-level positions are required to be officers & I'm not clear if there can be officers who don't have some kind of C-level title. That's why they have to carry personal (expensive) liability insurance to cover their legal costs if that ever happens (in these situations the company can't/won't cover your legal costs) & is one of the justifications they use for having large salaries (to be able to cover these costs).

The link below has instances when an officer may be held personally liable even without piercing the corporate veil but generally can be thought of as the officer did something intentionally illegal that can't be excused as "just doing my job". I don't think gross negligence is generally prosecuted, especially in nuanced technical fields like tech or finance and in larger companies that'll throw lawyers at the problem to maintain the shield (looks bad for you if your CEO is being investigated for fraud).

I'm not a lawyer but I've picked up a bit of (flawed/imperfect) knowledge here & there over the years.

Yes. There are ways to group images that seem to be the same. TinEye and Google image search do that. So you'd have a collection of related hashes that equal "Bob's prom photo where he looks like a goofer."
You don't need to connect to a blockchain to make a transaction. You just need to connect to someone who is connected to a blockchain. Big difference.
Then KVM is still probably the move. Install Ubuntu, then install Cockpit for a web interface to manage KVM and Docker. If you want a little more depth, Proxmox is also good but there’s some mild learning curve there.
KKV databases (Cassandra and DynamoDB are good examples) have a common problem with hotspots or "hot partitions". The most common mistake is to use a timestamp of any kind in the range (cluster) column. Then, whatever partition represents "today" or "this hour" ends up being the hot partition.

The article mentions hot partitions becomming a problem with max partition size, but they're also a problem with scalability. Say, if your writing a very high throughput of logs into the table (contrived example), then your bottlenecked by the rate at which you can write to one partition.

Adding the bucket id (say, the current day or hour), is a common solution, and solves the max partition size issue, but not the scalability issue of hot partitions.
It's like 90% a joke (it's the old Consumer Reports scale, where the red-white-dot is "best" and black-white-dot is "worst"). It's definitely not important to the content in the post.

Many, many times is when it's been a problem.

Even your analogy is lame, because it's not like that. The "money" is what you're looking for. It's like being mad that your wallet is so stuffed with pointless expired gift cards that you can never find the money, that'd be a more accurate analogy.
I get the appeal for coding something with minimal dependencies.

I do however consider it a hobby and I don't dare imposing that approach in my paid work, which inevitably has a number of limitations -- mostly time / schedule. That makes coding dependency-minimal projects a rare luxury since they often require love and care that don't conform to tight schedules.

If you are in a position where you can do that for money then it's quite the privileged position! And you should be a very happy guy having it.

I keep hoping that such projects will eventually find their way into the mainstream and show the rest of the world how wrong it gets a lot of things. Here's to hoping that it will still happen one day.
adding a “can” in there can clarify the author’s intent, I think. I mean, some truth to that, a political economy is not a solely hands-off thing in all cases, or solely planned-out either. And some aspirational idea thrown in about being able to direct an economy — I mean we were able to redirect our economy into a total war machine in our not so ancient past, and that was a common good arguably.
> Why all the hate for JWTs?

> Just pick a crypto scheme and the JWT is just an encoding that makes it easier to use.

That's not what JWT is, but I can understand why someone would be misled into believing that.

JWT isn't just an encoding format, it also includes a crypto algorithm negotiation protocol that lets the attacker choose the algorithm. Even if you strictly allow-list which algorithm you want to support, you can accidentally bypass this control in many libraries if you support the `kid` (key ID) header. [1]

It also allows attackers to completely strip the security. [2] [3]

Put shortly, JWT is a gun aimed directly at your foot. That's why there's so much hate for JWTs.

Absolutely, rackmount servers tend to be very loud and often power-hungry. But if you think of rackmount as a form factor, it can make some practical and aesthetic sense.

The IKEA CORRAS Birch Effect "rack cabinet" in my living room currently has a nice virtually silent GPU compute server based on a consumer/gaming PC in a 4U short-depth rackmount case, a mostly passively-cooled Supermicro Atom server in which I've replaced the PSU fan with a Noctua, and a sinewave UPS. (There's an ongoing evolution of gear over time, including more exotic stuff, and most toys I might play with in the future will also fit this form factor.)

Aesthetically, those stack on the bottom of the cabinet, a Birch Effect shelf sits on top, and the plastic OpenWrt WiFi router with all the pokey antennae sits safely in the shelf cubbyhole. (Once I need detached WiFi APs, I'll probably build a 1U or 2U router with opnSense/Linux/*BSD. And I have a discreet slide-out rackmount console for if I ever get a deeper cabinet.) I like to think it looks like understated black home AV that's not out of place in a living room, which is better than a tangle of assorted non-rackmount PCs and UPS.

Practically, besides the tidy organizing and uniform cooling airflow, I have some rack posts I can use if the stack of gear gets too large/tricky for pulling individual boxes without disturbing the others too much. Also, when I lived in a dodgier student apartment, fastening a bunch of rackmount gear together with security-head screws seemed a good way to discourage a burglar from walking off with my data.

I think this is a fair critisim of age. It's so obvious yet it's gone over my head.
Yeah this makes it not viable from a pure sequestration point of view, but building your house from timber is still better on emissions than concrete etc

I'm not sure it would put me (as a provider) in legal jeopardy. You'll need a cite for that, and you don't have one. Providers only need to take action if they have been made aware about it, and are not required to proactively scan.

See [1] 18 USC 2258A, relevant part below.

(f) Protection of Privacy.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to require a provider to—
(1) monitor any user, subscriber, or customer of that provider;
(2) monitor the content of any communication of any person described in paragraph (1); or
(3) affirmatively search, screen, or scan for facts or circumstances described in sections (a) and (b).

Or here's another cite in plain English-

HN tends to have a lot of people who are good at technical analysis and allergic to hyperbolic marketing. By now there's been a decade of Bitcoin proponents endlessly repeating claims which are either untrue or highly aspirational while it continues to very expensively not deliver results.

This brings me to the second part: anyone who does care about privacy is _especially_ not going to recommend use of Bitcoin since a system which requires you to make an irrepudiable public record of your transactions is actually worse than the status quo. Similarly, people will confabulate about it allegedly being “uncensorable” when it's both easy to censor and, being public, extremely risky for anyone concerned about censorship to use.
Storing value and being freely transferrable is an intrinsic value. That establishes some worth > 0.

What external transaction use does is even out the day to day value changes and decrease volitility (transaction volume >> trading volume).

Without that, you'd see some value placed on it, but a large price moves as trading affects it. Come to think of it, that looks a lot like... hmm.
I mostly agree but I don't think avoiding to listen to stuff all the time is great either. I walked the pct for 5 months and listened to plenty of books and podcasts and they gave me many good ideas. I would often lose myself in the ideas and the podcasts would just ramble on in the background like white noise. My only regret is not noting not thoughts down.
I always love your take even if I don't agree, SpaceCurve was a phenomenal system, one of the most pragmatic, high performance, easy to use MPP database systems I have ever used. We never met btw, was just a user.

But I think you are wrong about Rust not having the right machinery for making high performance dbs. Two examples are Noria and Materialize

https://github.com/mit-pdos/noria

and it its 50k lines, in the immediate codebase, there are 40 uses of unsafe.

In Materialize's 125k of Rust, there are 76 direct uses of unsafe.

The amusing thing about Taliban and heroin production and export is that they used to be against it (on religious grounds), and suppressed it very brutally and efficiently.

That is, until we invaded. Then they needed the money, and suddenly it was okay.

It will be interesting to see what happens now. Apparently the official stance is that they're going to suppress it again, but we'll see how that translates to real actions.
Is there any documentation on the architecture/design of QEMU to be found somewhere?
Well, a little bit later. Usually those were the people getting on bandwagon based on the wrong premise. "Independent from a centrally controlled bank system", "the government cannot track me", "the government cannot take my crypto away" (so they technically cannot but they can definitely block moving it so that it essentially becomes worthless), you name it.

In the hindsight, the central control over crypto may give it a credibility boost. It doesn't really solve the problems of how easy is it to get scammed / lose it but it may swing the usage majority towards legit markets.

I have no idea, really. My initial statement in this thread was an emotion driven one.

> it also doesn't help that it's only economically viable after the grid has a large share of renewables.

There's certainly already wholesale price variability throughout the day, so buy at night, sell during the day arbitrage is at least conceptially valid, although real world ROI is going to depend on capital costs, full cycle efficiency, etc, and it doesn't seem like things are quite there outside of a few installations.
It would be bad for the company. Do you think Google is at risk of not being able to turn a profit?
For a normal user with an app that doesn't allow export, it's more or less equivalent to a yubikey. There's no reasonable way to get the secrets out of a locked phone or a yubikey, but an expert with a lot of resources probably could. And a normal user isn't reinstalling their phone OS so that worry's out of the way.

For apps that do allow export/transfer, it's up to the user if they want to keep the secret safe. But really at some point it's up to the user no matter what method or hardware you use.

And since most sites don't have an easy way to have multiple tokens, allowing export/transfer also reduces the temptation to insecurely store a copy of enrollment QR codes.
This is a funny comment to read from Firefox Mobile. Works fine for me.
HN is different depending on the time of the day. It's 02:00AM here in Europe, most of it at least. So the opinions that you see are not Europe time opinions but USA time opinions.

HN is not a person but many different people in different places. Your message and mine will be probably received differently at another time of the day.
Doesn't negate my point in the least.

The fact alone that there exists such an extensive training specifically about monopoly-related stuff hints that there is extensive monopolistic behavior liability for which only hinges on whether it's acknowledged as such in the internal communication.

Also, it adds a whole new (new?) meaning to any press release or a blog post from Google using any of the terms from the right column if you substitute them with the terms from the left column. They say "dedicated to providing the best services to our users", you see "dedicated to eliminating our competitors".

So you can dismiss opinions out of hand because of a "non-idiot bias", and I have to exhaustively dismantle the entire Wikipedia article along with its citations? I'll do that right after you do so with the AAPS, all of its member MDs, and all the research cited in its reports on covid.

> I wish people stopped overusing "Orwellian"

"Orwellian" is an adjective describing a situation, idea, or societal condition that George Orwell identified as being destructive to the welfare of a free and open society. It denotes an attitude and a brutal policy of draconian control by propaganda, surveillance, disinformation, denial of truth (doublethink), and manipulation of the past, including the "unperson"—a person whose past existence is expunged from the public record and memory, practiced by modern repressive governments. Often, this includes the circumstances depicted in his novels, particularly Nineteen Eighty-Four[2] but political doublespeak is criticized throughout his work, such as in Politics and the English Language.
