Good question. I needed to remind myself of the nuance. First sentence from Wiki says: <<A Wells notice is a letter that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sends to people or firms when it is planning to bring an enforcement action against them.>>

To me: "planning" is the key term.

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wells_notice

The Wiki article is short and dense. I highly recommend it!
I may not understand cock.li, what feature/aspect does this quote refer to:
"Cock.li has not had a successful demand for user information since 2017, thanks in large part to better education of law enforcement that contact cock.li."
You misunderstand the scheme.

With "buyer-funded development" the developer gets free liquidity, with no interest and no obligation to pay anything back. (Just an obligation to build something.) Obviously more profitable than having a bank take a cut for a loan.

The property is cheaper for the buyer because there are obvious risks involved for those in on the scheme at an early time. (And yes, it can be significantly cheaper, both because of the risk and due to opportunity cost while the property becomes attractive on the second-hand market.)
> Obviously none allow it

Really?

1. Augustine Pinochet was arrested in London, UK on the principle of - and you'll love this one - universal juristiction.

2. the following countries have some form of universal juristiction: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Malaysia, Senegal, Spain, United Kingdom, USA [1]

3. the USA passed the PEESA act [2] in their own congress/parliament where they grant themselves the right to unliterally decide - for the the entire of Europe - which natural gas suppliers are allowed to send gas to Europe.

>Setting up your community with specific standards is totally fine imo

In some sense I agree, but what happens when these communities begin to overflow with people, and chaos increases? It leads to opinion suppression( no I'm not talking about extreme opinions on any side of the political spectrum , I'm talking about opinions which differ from the status quo ), echo-chamber creation, and worst of all, unnecessary aggressive behaviour and mud slinging.
Not trying to be snide to OP, but his/her anecdote does hit the typical Linkedin influencer plot beats which I find amusing:

I literally hired a guy who was a part-time computer hobbyist but, a full time pool man.

I told him "hey how would you like to spend 40 hours a week learning more about computers."

Today he's working as a leader in his company's security group.

He often thanks me for the job, and I always remind him "you did the work, all I did was give you the opportunity".
The right to bear arms also seems to fit your framework quite well. If the police knocking on your door has to fear that you appear naked that is unpleasent but merely a nuisance. If you could be armed they will probably think twice if it is worth the risk.

> all the notifications in a mismatch of languages showing up in the main feed

I'm not quite expert here, but, IIRC, this language problem is partially inherent to ActivityPub. The sender can attach translations, and the receiver can pick one from the set, but no one knows what's gonna happen if the expectations from both sides don't match.

One might, instead, re-fetch the messages from the sender using HTTP + content negotiation, which will definitely cause different types of headache.
Interesting dichotomy. Red-light cameras are a sort of proto form of surveillance policing. It’s an interesting case study, where you have some celebrating the safety they purportedly provide, others accusing them of being a corrupt cash grab, and several states outright banning them. For many, driving is a form of negotiation between themselves, other drivers, pedestrians, and the roads. The cameras don’t play fair; they throw away all context (it was 4am with nobody around, it was icy and a sudden stop would have endangered somebody etc). They have ended marriages when cheaters are caught with the wrong person or in the wrong place. They subvert established norms. They work, but we don’t want them to. Are they better than paying a police officer to do that job? Better than no enforcement? The jury seems to be still out on this topic, but it could prove instructive to future automated enforcement initiatives.
Do you have any Real World examples of people using this strategy against a financial regulator? I never heard of such a thing.

Most of these techniques are co-developed in industry applications, and are seeping out from military research into business. In tech, John Allspaw has done a huge amount to take these training methods and skill-extraction techniques and adopted/applied it to resilience engineering. (https://twitter.com/allspaw and https://www.adaptivecapacitylabs.com/)

Not paying attention to research with military provenance seems rather silly. What matters more are the questions: does this work? Where has it been tried? And can I apply it to my company or career?
We’ve been in and come out of a lockdown before. I’m not worried.
I am repeating myself from an earlier post, but read the Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wells_notice

<<The notice indicates that the SEC staff has determined it may bring a civil action against a person or firm, and provides the person or firm with the opportunity to provide information as to why the enforcement action should not be brought.[2] The person or firm is generally given 30 days to file this response in the form of a legal brief considering legal and factual arguments as to why no charges should be brought against them.>>
The element(s) before an element: //h3/preceding-sibling::p[1]
Match something's parent: //title/..
Match all ancestors: //title[@id = 'abc']/ancestor::comment

Element with src or href attr: //[@src or @href]
or multiple conditions: //article[@state = "approved" and not(comments/comment)]

Element with more than two children: //ul[count(li) > 2]
Element with matching descendents: //article[//video]

Element text containing substring: //p[contains(text(), "Foo")]
Attribute containing substring: //a[ends-with(@href, ".jpg")]

Numerical attribute selection: //product[@price > round(2.5 @discount)]
//product[sum(//[starts-with(name(), 'price-')]/@price) > 0]

Attribute values: //a/@href
Text values with spaces normalised: //a/normalize-space(text())

Match all attributes or elements or text nodes: //user/@ or //user/node() or //user/text() or //user/comment()

Basically from any node in a document you can select its ancestors, children, descendants, siblings, attributes etc, and filtering has the same power as selecting does - in CSS there's :not() that can apply to selection or filtering, with :has() finally on the way and no :or(). CSS selectors match against HTML elements and they're great for that almost all of the time, but while you can filter by attribute value including substring and even by regular expression, for text there's :empty.

But for a query syntax you need to be able to select attributes and text content as well as elements. Either extend XPath to support #id and .class syntax

//#user-xyz//note/text()
//code.language-js/@name

or extend CSS to at allow selecting attrs and text

#user-xyz note :text
code.language-js @name

The former is more powerful, the latter a quick hack (if they only appear at the end of the selector anyway) with instant payoff.
> The government is most certainly legitimate if they're able to hold a country together for centuries.

Legitimacy based on force is not legitimacy. It's just tyranny: if you never ask people how to want to govern themselves how can you meet the criteria of legitimacy, like EVER? Holding the biggest guns does not replace agreement and contractual acceptance of how things are run.

> Should "tyranny of the majority", as they'd say, be considered legitimate

It's a hell lot more legitimate since you can actually expect to change the rulers/people in power at some point through popular action. Under royalty/tyranny, you are forced to accept whoever is at the top and you have no recourse until they die.

That's kind of a huge difference.
Odd how Lenny (the fork without a word filter) hasn't received commits in 5 months, yet has 3386 commits compared to upstream's 3330.
Arguably, this thing should have been installed on the far side of the Moon, with a relay orbiter to get data back to Earth. Then it could be serviced.

Federated Reddit and federated toots and all that shit are just too obtuse and like the old regime. It's too hard to set up and run your own node, and joining an existing one is just like joining Reddit or Facebook.

The optimal way to distribute social news: bittorrent-style P2P swarms.

People copy and paste news articles with photos (maybe this is piracy?) and share them as files with known hashes. The swarm pulls down all the articles for you to read locally without ads or scripts. No HTML and script garbage. Beautiful plaintext with minimal markdown-style markup.

A core group of 5 or so people alone can probably scrape what's valuable of the old web on a daily basis, rendering the need for the web moot. The web is going away anyway with the social media giants. We should just own the method of distribution instead of having it locked away in Medium and AMP.

User identities in the system are PGP signed, but can be effectively anonymous. You follow people that you upvote frequently, and articles they upvote are given higher priority in your feed. You share your voting with others to create rich filters. If the system detects noise, you know where in the graph it comes from and can nuke it. It'll take time to build a reputation, so people won't risk it.

You can layer comments on top and distribute them the same way.

Content is ephemeral as you want and decays naturally if nobody keeps or seeds it. Some archive team might want to keep stuff, but nobody else has to go to the trouble of maintaining infrastructure to do so.

No spam. No ads. No VC-funded growth engines that require your phone or a mobile app. Just a solid protocol and beautiful reading and authoring client.

The protocol should include a plaintext legal preamble / poison pill that prevents companies from ever trying to coopt it: BEGIN. BY EMITTING THIS PROTOCOL, WE OFFER SHARES EQUIVALENT OF 1% OF OUR COMPANY ON A DAILY BASIS TO ANYONE WHO CONNECTS TO THIS CLIENT. Or something to make "embrace and extend" impossible by forcing companies into an impossible legal contract.
He is much better than average dissidents who are usually worse on integrity. It's a very mysterious phenomenon that the dissidents, whether inside China or overseas, almost all happened to have integrity issues. A lot of them including a few famous dissednets, are quite abnormal. There's an exception named ZHANG heci who keeps his integrity but has been often attacked by his fellows.

It's also very interesting that western journalists have been hiding the integrity issues related to Chinese dissidents by portraying them as heroes until last election that a lot Chinese dissidents involved in US domestic politics. WSJ is one example.

Western public are not aware of this wired issue because most of them don't read Chinese. For those who read Chinese, here's a site that exists for almost 20 years.

I personally look forward to the SEC handing it to Coinbase hard. After having Coinbase ignore multiple support requests for over 3 months where they weren't giving me my staking rewards, I can only assume they decided to just up and keep them for themselves. Coinbase will always be considered a joke to me when they can't even respond to their customers.
Negotiation is all about leverage and right now you have none.

I’d recommend doing the standard procedure - take the offer as-is, get a year at the company on your resume and then jump ship for a sweet pay increase.
I agree. It is very unlikely that FDIC would allow it. As I understand, all deposit products, including certificates of deposit, are guaranteed up to a certain amount with FDIC regulated banking institutions. The same is also true of securities brokers, but under a different regulator (SEC?) and different programme.
Agreed it’s not as bad but neutering Math education was up for vote in the state of California until they delayed - after hundreds of Math professors from Stanford and Berkeley wrote an open letter.

A semantic nitpick, this doesn't give you an understanding of how "computers" (by which I mean a modern PC, x86, lots of peripherals and microcontrollers and a CPU inside your CPU and etc.) work, but rather how a CPU works.

I didn't try it. But I surfed the website and watched the animations.

I am using stock Neovim on the console. For completion I switched to nvim-cmp https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp. Onivim also provides (based on the screencasts) completion. Do they leverage their own coded completion engine or are they using nvim-plugins and only render the UI over this completion?

My point is there will always be an impedance mismatch between functionality provided by plugins compared to what a UI provider thinks has to be coded in their respective implementation.

In the ML industry, there are two type of companies.

1/ Open source companies like huggingface (https://github.com/huggingface), explosion (https://github.com/explosion), Fast.ai that democratized access to ML and provided a set of tools & language models for engineers. These companies didn't only manage to build a company and open source projects, they built a welcoming community and it's impressive to see all these students use these tools to tackle bigger problems. That's what"democratized" mean to an engineer[1].

2/ Media companies that built ML APIs to ease the use of such services like OpenAI. I think this company falls under this category.

Thanks for saying this with examples. People sure seem to be afraid of their own thoughts if they feel the need to limit speech of others. Must be a hard way to live. And certainly makes life hard for your examples.
Coinbase are being disingenous.

They are breaching numerous securities laws with their product.

Posting on Medium or social media is no substitute for securities compliance and obtaining appropriate legal advice.
...How childish is for someone in an executive position to start whining on Medium in the name of the company about something as serious as legal issues? Did they start hiring 12 year olds after the recent mass exodus?

I've not done more than cherry-pick from them, admittedly, but I've always had a pipe dream of writing articles about concepts within, as a way of teaching myself.

I don't think practicality is a necessary component of truth. It may be true that, should you stumble upon a way to deliberately practice something, you will grow your mastery of that thing regardless of talent, and it may also be true that finding a way to deliberately practice something is nearly impossible without decades of effort.

What I believe you're talking about is called "tacit knowledge" and the work around how people can effectively transfer that knowledge from one person to another. One classic anecdote is of the pilots who were able to find success by "pretending" to be their instructors -- doing exactly as they thought their instructor would do, without really knowing why, and obtaining more positive evaluation results than by trying to do everything "as themselves".

Good points. I would also add, in relation to:

> the leadership is the direct reflection of the country people's will.

Every 4 years you get to influence the politicians for a few days and they do their best to make you happy. On all the other days, the lobbyists and party factions get to influence them.
> That defi has no counterparty risk is probably one of thr all time wrong sentences on HN

Which is why I didn't say it. One of the nice features of smart contract platforms is that any two people can quickly set up a transaction where they swap a basket of assets for another basket of assets atomically and without counterparty risk. To get similar guarantees in tradfi requires either an underwriter (that we assume can't go bust) or escrow (with a party we both completely trust).

Smart contract systems are of course infinitely flexible, and some of the most useful kinds of systems you might want to build are not overcollateralized, but those that are can liquidate automatically with no counterparty risk.

Your comment seems to treat 'defi' as just one thing. It's not. There're a huge range of products offered, with risk ranging from lower than lots of traditional products to crazy high.

This is a silly comment. Don't conflate the ridiculous strawman that is "cancel culture" with actual oppression.

That's a really great question;

There are important conversations within the LGBT that would be really interesting, but asking questions that could be construed years later as homophobic, no matter now innocent can publicly destroy people.
