> There's no KYC for holding fiat...

Woah. Hold up. There's no KYC for holding anything. There's always been KYC for obtaining fiat. For withdrawing fiat. For depositing fiat. For getting paid in fiat. For paying other people in fiat. It's not the holding at issue, it's the transacting.

> ...and transactions above 10k are on the honor system for cash purchases.

No, they certainly are not. Any withdrawals or deposits of over 10K USD at a bank will require an ID and get you a CTR or SAR filed. If you tried to get 100K in fiat you will almost certainly get a CTR or SAR filed on you. You'll probably get a call from a bank manager, a compliance officer and/or someone from FinCEN. Ditto on the deposit.

In fact, transactions under 10K also often get CTRs filed. [1]

If you aren't withdrawing it the person who did will get the filings.

> There's also minimal checking of those that leave our borders; someone could easily cross into Mexico with 100k in a breifcase of Swiss Francs and no one would be the wiser.

Potentially, but unlikely. You cannot get 100K of cash lawfully without presenting ID. If you did, you committed a crime to get it, it was probably laundered, and you probably paid 2-10X that amount to launder it. You're probably a criminal.

To wind up with an undocumented, untraceable 100K in a briefcase, either you or someone else committed a crime.

This is part of the reason people do not cross borders with 100K in cash. It's a crime to do so without reporting it, so if found it'll be seized. It's trivial to find $100K in cash strapped to someone or on an Xray.

They tend to instead obtain gift cards and move portfolios of that.

> To you; to me it's built on the tree of liberty.

No, crime is not liberty. It's crime. Crime is the violation of my liberties and the code of civil society because you think rights you don't have are more important than rights I do have.

Again you completely ignore Wise as a much better, less volatile solution to the problem.

The problem you're describing, and the world you're describing, feels a bit like finance fanfic.

> The existing problem was that people would show up in cash in person, and often without either parties being vetted. The darkmarket did not totally solve this problem but it did help it, by creating a rating system and allowing people to buy items without needing to put themselves in the vicinity of a potentially dangerous drug den.

No the issue with drug legislation is it impinges on the freedoms of average citizens and directly harms them via prison. A darknet market does nothing to alleviate the issue at hand.

> Enumeration of all IPv6 is impossible.

Though do take note of RFC 7707, "Network Reconnaissance in IPv6 Networks":

IPv6 offers a much larger address space than that of its IPv4
counterpart. An IPv6 subnet of size /64 can (in theory) accommodate
approximately 1.844 * 10^19 hosts, thus resulting in a much lower
host density (#hosts/#addresses) than is typical in IPv4 networks,
where a site typically has 65,000 or fewer unique addresses. As a
result, it is widely assumed that it would take a tremendous effort
to perform address-scanning attacks against IPv6 networks; therefore,
IPv6 address-scanning attacks have been considered unfeasible. This
document formally obsoletes RFC 5157, which first discussed this
assumption, by providing further analysis on how traditional address-
scanning techniques apply to IPv6 networks and exploring some
additional techniques that can be employed for IPv6 network
reconnaissance.

Almost 11 years in Melbourne (from NZ) and I couldn't agree more.

The 220~ days (and counting) that Melbourne has been in lockdown has certainly worn me down, but even before C19 the political climate, attitude towards technology, cost of housing and the impact of increasing bushfires has taken an enormous toll on the country over the past decade that I've been here.
The government can still abuse its power even if corporations have more power in terms of the influence they have, that's not even a contradiction, those two things can be true at the same time.

Also this also makes sense if you consider revolving door politics and the merger of corporation and state that happened the last 50 years.

Many parts of the US have something effectively the same called a Homestead Exemption. You get a discount on your property tax for the house you live in. Any other houses you own pay the full rate. It varies greatly by location and not everywhere has it but it's pretty common.
The internet came about because of the cold war and the attendant arms race. Empires that last were all born in blood and fire and terror, and universally spend more blood to maintain cohesion against the outside.

What type of la la fantasy histories have you been reading? Fat happy people maintain the status quo. Hungry desperate people innovate.

Anyway. The world wide web is probably what you meant. And yes, universities and science and medicine makes progress during peaceful times, and ultimately the quote is facile and glib. There is a nugget of truth there, however.

Establishing a frontier in human well being has historically required limiting the power of the state in ways that support the relative liberalizing of its culture. States historically require blood sacrifice before any power is ceded. It takes strong people to achieve and hold progress., and the quote encapsulates the notion that there is a place in the natural order of things for strong individuals to shake things up. For principles to be held to at great cost, however inconvenient or even fatal it may be for others who just want to perpetuate "good enough".

The fallacy is that good times can't produce good and strong people, which is wrong. It's just a simple matter of conviction being stronger when provoked by trauma than abstract rationalization.

>Teams is another one I don't even want to get started on.

At least this one is actively used by most companies (at least outside of IT/devs firms) and they generally find it acceptable.

OneDrive on the other hand... Even when I was an IT consultant, I haven't met a single person who has tried it and didn't absolutely hate it. I have seen employees playing out of pocket for dropbox or gDrive even when OneDrive came for free with the MS Office subscriptions provided by their employer because of how frustrating it was to use and work mysteriously disappeared or got corrupted on a regular basis.
> This law vaguely benefits workers who are nowhere near the poverty line.

Unless I'm misunderstanding it, Colorado's new law applies to salaried jobs in all income brackets. For someone who's poor and desperately job hunting, knowing whether a job's salary range is 20k-30k versus 25k-35k before having to go through a gauntlet of interviews sounds like it could make a big difference.
> You're making the mistake of conflating Australia's COVID-19 restrictions with this legislation, when they're entirely unrelated.

They’re related in that both are examples of a level of authoritarianism that seems extreme by the standards of other Western countries.

> The fact the Texas legislature came up with that completely ridiculous scheme is not that surprising. They just aren't that good at making laws

They are very good at making laws to do what they want (in this case, leverage precdent
to ensure that that wfeffoets to block the law before it went into effect did not succeed, maximizing the chilling effect on abortion provision).

> That the Supreme Court basically rubber stamped it is absolutely insane.

The Supreme Court did not rule on the legality of the law (either the abortion restriction or the enforcement mechanism), it only validated the Texas Legislature's attempt to avoid a pre-implementation block against the law. While this enables the chilling effect of the law, it does not validate the substance of the law.

> That the Supreme Court basically rubber stamped it is absolutely insane.

If you want an outcome-oriented reasoning explanation, I’d say the majority wanted to set back the availability of abortion without overturning row; indeed, while likely still upholding it once a case reaches it through the slow path it has required.

> The country leaders have been legitimately elected, which means the leadership is the direct reflection of the country people's will.

I don't disagree. Although influencing the people's will is a lot easier when the main stream media is monopolised and heavily biased towards one political party. If we want a government that truly reflects the people's will we need a diverse media landscape. Also a reason why I support Kevin Rudd's push for the Murdoch royal commission.
The Microsoft moat is 3 fold;

- Office (Excel and PowerPoint)

- Active Directory

- legacy Win32 apps

It isn’t that Windows has a desktop competitor, it is just that generations of people are being born with the idea that they never need to go to a desktop platform - period - (to get their work done). Use cases of all sorts have migrated from Windows to non-Windows platforms for a variety of reasons.

Purpose-built OS, low power consumption, environmental requirements (operate in cold/warm temperatures - with utilitarian / industrial designs), easy to manage - Windows computers are just disappearing from the world. The alternative is cheaper to maintain, replace, manage. On the flip side - people are doing just wild things on mobile - like video, photo editing (basic stuff, but not insignificant tasks compared to just 5 or 10 years ago).

Food for thought: 2 years ago; there were over 3 billion android devices in use, and only 900 million Windows devices.

Children today don’t grow up with Windows like most of us did. They grow up with Chromebooks. They grow up with Google Apps like Sheets and Docs - which have frictionless, licenseless experiences.

Windows has no competition with Windows, but no one wants to compete with Windows, and Microsoft doesn’t even want to compete with Windows. It could sarcastically be said that no one in technology is trying to solve problems for Windows, or on Windows. The joke with that statement is everyone would be on macOS or a Linux Distro - and working on those platforms to deliver platform agnostic solutions - focusing on HTML5 and mobile native.

The question often becomes; why Windows? Why not just develop a offering that is platform agnostic?

Long-term, this erodes the value of Windows. Certain jobs will have Windows for the foreseeable future, with no alternative. But the use of Windows will still diminish long term.

There are websites that track (by browser user agent) the OS in use across different cities, states and countries. This data is quite fascinating and amusing. You can see trends very easily. Developed countries generally have higher macOS and iOS market share - with a few countries having 40% of desktop users on macOS (when blended with mobile, macOS market share decreases significantly). Frontier economies have massive Android market share, and overwhelming amount of desktop market share to Windows.

These are wild times. Windows is going nowhere, and when people say that; they mean literally. When one of the latest enhancements to the Windows OS is including support to run Android apps; which to me looks like the white flag being waved. In my lifetime, I would have never thought it was possible for Windows to have a native OS clunky emulator for Android apps.
The dynamic on Twitter typically goes like this: Someone tells a story about working long hours for a satisfying result; then someone else clucks about that not being “healthy.”

The cluckers are wrong. They are also stupid (defined as deliberately refusing to use their brains).

The issue is NEVER about how hard you work. It is always about agency and meaning. So if you don’t want to look like and sound like and be an idiot, don’t judge the health of an operation merely by some arbitrary rubric about hours and sleep. Find out who is choosing this, and why.

Or worse. 'Recognition'. A piece of paper on which they write your name, call it a certificate and give it to you when the team claps for you. Fast forward 5 years, most of your colleagues from back, who moved on, don't even remember your name.

There is no dearth of people who go great extents working insane hours for things like 'appreciation emails' and 'recognition certificates'.
I've always been involved in things that require intense periods of work (recording an album, directing a movie, writing my own startup's software) and I really enjoy it. I cannot imagine doing that much work for someone else though. When you are working for yourself on something you are passionate about, it truly does not feel like work at all. The old saying is true.

The real answer: Democratisation of software or systems is making Free and Open Source all the software and knowledge required to operate the software or system. Democratisation is also implementing structures that make the development process beholden and accountable to the users. Fundamentally it's about giving the users true ownership over the software and a voice in the development process and/or operation.

Now how it's used here? It's more just a buzzword that suggests they are trying to make it more accessible by selling it as a SaaS. They seem to have a focus on ethically providing access to these more powerful ML systems but what this'll actually mean beyond "cover our ass" is up in the air.
People used to work longer than 40h/week before the industrial revolution[1].

But as a programmer, even 40h/week is unrealistic.

I only get somewhere between 2-5 hours of real work done per day (as a freelance dev). Depending of where I am in the week. Mondays are great because I'm well-rested, but by Friday, I'm less able to put long hours.

Anyone has an idea why it's expected that programmers work similar shifts as less creative/deep jobs?

Amd more to the point, it has already been made quite obvious we as a species don't have the will to tackle the cause, so we are left with quick fixes with side effects, or just trying to adapt. It doesn't really matter what the right course of action is (or was really) if no one will do it.

You don't get tenure for being a good teacher or for being supportive of your students. You get tenure for doing impactful research, and lots of it. The post focuses almost entirely on non-research contributions, citing only a $175,000 grant and an acceptance to ACM CHI conference as the prof's research bona fides. Of course, this is likely written from undergrad's perspective, but take a look at Lerner's Google Scholar profile: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=BkZor8wAAAAJ&hl=en.... Tbh I don't know how strong Wellesley CS is, or how the other profs there compare, but that's just not an impressive research record for someone four years into a tenure-track position.
Yeah, it's a high quality mouse. But the only excuse for this is it's slightly cheaper to make everything USB. PS/2 worked much better. It was limited to 200Hz but needed no polling. Motherboards just stopped providing the port.
It's probably just a gender-neutral term that still begins with M, so "MitM" still makes sense to use as an acronym (yes, grammar nerds, I pronounce it as "mittem", don't say it's an initialism).
Conquest of Bread by Kropotkin

It's a really outdated book about a "perfect" anarchist sociaty. I started reading it for the political theme, but the author was so hopeful and puts so must trust in common people that I couldn't stop smile while reading it. It hit me harder that I could've ever imagined, I started putting more trust in others and totally changed the way I confront people. At that time I was a team leader in a really chaotic company and the change of approach did wonders. Management even started to receive request from other developers to join our team.
Apple's GameplayKit also includes an ECS system. Not a patent lawyer, so not sure how broad or not this particular claim is. But that was introduced back in 2015 or 2016, so there's prior art there.

It sounds like he was notified well in advance and failed to submit the application for exemption in time. Rutgers is allowing many unvaccinated students to attend virtual classes.

Odd considering the death rates in his country were disproportionately higher than those in other first-world countries. People get vaccinated not just to protect themselves, but to reduce the spread of disease to others.
One might alternatively argue that it is much easier to be rational about an abstract position than one that you are actively involved in :(.

Ford has SKI and their USITC problem is cleared.

CATL is supplying everyone from BMW to Mercedes to Toyota to Honda... and even Tesla gasp

Honda even bought a small stake in them to bless their partnership. Even Team "wait-for-hydrogen" (Toyota) is working on solid-state batteries with the backing of the Japanese government

Edit: I just realized based on your comment you'll have no idea what half those acronyms are because you think Tesla LG and Panasonic are the only players in the space, which is hilarious given the topic of conversation.

They're also battery manufacturers. SK Innovation had a spat with LG over stolen IP that almost had them banned from importing materials from batteries, but they settled.

The fact you didn't bring up CATL... well kind of says it all. CATL delivered more capacity in cars on the road than LG and Panasonic this year. Model 3s made in China carry their batteries amongst at least a half-dozen other manufacturers.)

Seriously what is this navel-gazing from people who have no clue about the auto industry or cars in general besides rantings of their pet billionaire? If this was a JS framework people without half a clue wouldn't be comfortable hollering about the end of days, but because of the general arrogance tech seems to carry itself with, every person off the street suddenly thinks they know some secret that big automaker is wayyy too dumb to see and their death is just over the hill.

Warner Bros and therefore HBO Max bought a company called You.i that built their own React Native Rendering engine for low end OTT devices I don't know if they use that engine for mobile or the native RN engines.

Last I heard their whole ecosystem is now based on this.

But if there's scrolling issues and some others, its likely because they're literally trying to run one codebase across everything including OTT devices.
