You're question bears some qualification; by artists are you meaning concept/game artists, or something else?

I've been moonlighting as a fine artist and illustrator for a few decades (with a brief diversion at an actual game startup that failed some time ago) but I mostly work in analog, with post procesing in Photoshop/Krita and a slew of specialized tools (e.g. Context Free, various fractal generators, etc).

Is this a summary or the entire text? I think I saw messaging from Coinbase in anticipation of this proposal earlier this week. [1]

Not a lawyer but the definitions and language seem a little shallow to me considering how lofty the proposal of a new regulatory agency is.

Wouldn’t one expect a higher level of detail, supporting evidence, citations or legal precedent from consultations with “30+ crypto firms, 25+ members of congress and/or staff, 4 major law firms, and 3 trade groups”?

Because she didn't owe any. And yet, she had to pay thousands out of pocket to prove it to the US government that she didn't owe any taxes and they still basically monitor her like a tax dodger (because obviously all Americans abroad are dodging taxes, right?).
This is an underrated observation - you could target 1000 people for £100 each, or you could put your time and effort into targeting and tricking the whale for £100k, a payout worth putting the homework into.
> They don't want the abstraction punctured to see the inner workings...

> Anything less than that creates a Norman Door conflict, whereby their inner mental models conflict with the intended interaction (...)

Here I disagree, because the underlying assumption is that those "intuitive" interfaces are exploiting an existing mental model of the users, like door handles in the physical world. This is not true, because computing is new, and there is no obvious preexisting mental model shared by non-specialists. Part of the job of UI is to enable the users to build correct mental models in the first place - and to the extent they introduce bad abstractions, they fail at this job, leaving users with bad mental models that don't correspond to reality, and don't let them make sensible predictions.

Note: I don't disagree with Norman. I disagree with how his work is used to justify current UX design trends.
As a US citizen, being taxed while living abroad can dangerously trigger double taxation. Imagine being taxed 70% of your income... scary! I've been researching ways to live abroad without being double-taxed, and here's some resources I've found:

* https://www.greenbacktaxservices.com - give them your foreign tax return and they file your US return

* https://wandererswealth.com - international tax consultant

* https://nomadcapitalist.com/book - modern flag theory, talks about moving your life and business overseas to control your tax rate

For bank accounts, I had trouble opening them in Germany (US citizens are to foreign banks like GDPR is to US companies) except for Number26 however that's an online-only account:

That's not the point of the analogy (some other siblings got it wrong, too, so the fault is likely mine). The point is that it's inherently very risky for you to contact someone about a problem they created accidentally, negligently or possibly intentionally in order to get it fixed (and that might result in them being fined or otherwise punished when the issue becomes known). So you should not do that. You should either seek a trustworthy intermediary for you to handle the interaction (this might be difficult / non-existent in your locale) or reveal the issues anonymously.

Again, it's not about Optimally Mitigating Corporate Security Fuckups, it's much more basic than that: it's about keeping you safe. This should obviously be priority #1. Anyone telling anyone else to do responsible disclosure by default because That's What Good Guys Do And You're Not A Good Guy If You Don't is quite clearly not putting the safety of the reporter at #1.

I think that's largely true -- if you frequently need to take professional macro shots, you'll already have your own, better setup anyhow, and won't be switching to a phone camera anytime soon. However, somewhat surprisingly (for me at least), this seems to actually be good enough to also satisfy those that do carry fancy cameras, but don't need to take macro shots that often... from https://austinmann.com/trek/iphone-13-pro-camera-review-tanz...:

This is my own analysis. I used to do some work in power markets (FTRs) so I’m reasonably familiar with the domain. I have heard other people say similar things so I’m sure there’s some content out there.

I expect this to take place over quite a long time - on the scale of decades. Power is super capital intensive and super regulated so it takes forever for things like this to work. If you ever see a nuclear power plant being built with a Bitcoin mine being constructed alongside it, you can be confident that the effect is in full force.
Show HN: Hobo Hero, my latest game (WIP)
I meant that very little of Aztec history is recorded in a way that survives today.

My understanding - which may be wrong - is that it's at the level of much older high civilization. And I think that makes them "feel" as old as those civilizations, because we know so little.

I'm not sure the Aztecs were that technologically behind. The main reason they and all the other New World peoples lost was their less robust immune system. Typically, 80-90% of the population died of European diseases as soon as - or often even before - the Europeans arrived.

This was 300 years before germ theory, so no one on either side knew what was happening.

In a state like Missouri getting sued by the ACLU is probably something that can be used to win an election and is seen as a badge of honor. They probably welcome it and all it costs them is tax payer dollars. They really just need to publicize any controversial party the ACLU represented and claim to be standing up to the sorts of people that would defend that behavior.

If they lose in court it turns into a two for one as they get to rail against 'activist judges' and whip their base to go out and vote.

I used the word "malicious". Its not like i used the word "murderer" or "evil overlord". I'm not saying OP should go to jail or anything.

All i'm saying is if you find an exploit, and after you verify it works, you contunue to use it for your own personal ends, you're no longer benign and you shouldn't expect a warm welcome from the security team.

The line is when you start to use exploits on computers not owned by yourself for your own ends instead of for the purpose of verifying and reporting the vuln. Sure you could cross that line a little bit or a lot, but you're not innocent if you're over it.
> Facebook doesn't "help people from across the world keep in touch".

Well, that's exactly my personal use case for FB, as well as that of many people I personally know irl. It genuinely does help me and my friends to stay in touch. We don't browse the feed for hours or anything (I open FB maybe twice a week for 20-30 mins tops, and that's only because I am also checking up on a few hobby-related FB groups I am in).

Could it be the case that this is NOT how most FB users use the service? I mean, sure. Still would be wrong to say that it doesn't "help people from across the world keep in touch," because there is a non-insignificant number of people who use FB for this exact stated purpose, me included.

Have an answer to every objection. First figure out all the ways you would object and make sure you have an answer, then note down any objections you don't have an answer to during your process and make sure you have a good answer next time.

And if you're selling a product, make sure you know your competitors well because a lot of objections will be in the form of "but competitor X does this, how do you solve that problem?" and "what do you do that X doesn't do?". So you better know X really well because the person you're talking to already does and will know if you're making stuff up.
Your 79% figure is misleading because counting number of scams unweighted by size is meaningless. To quote your source:

> In relatively direct contrast, looking at our classifications as a percentage of the US dollars raised to-date (~$12B)
we found that only ~$1.3B (~11%) of ICO funding went to Identified Scams,

> Although ~1/10th of all ICO fundraising went to Identified Scams, the vast majority of the $1.3B was from just
three projects, which were all relatively old school frauds by no means unique to ICOs (Pincoin ($660M),
Arisebank ($600M), and Savedroid (~$50M)).

> Outside these three projects, Identified
Scams got away with just $30M in fundraising (or ~0.3% of all time ICO fundraising). We hypothesize this is
because the community is relatively adept at discovering scams and adding them to lists.

11% is still large enough to make your point, and people inclined to agree with you would probably also be inclined to take the 11% figure and not the 0.3% figure, so there was no need to talk about 79%.

Medium term, I’m assuming that environmentalists are more or less correct that fossil fuels, coal, etc. have large uninternalized externalities. Increased electricity demand from any source will almost certainly increase the dollar price of electricity, at least until R&D allocation effects kick in. However, if environmentalists are correct, even if electricity is a little bit more expensive from increased demand, the type of power generation incentivized by Bitcoin will be less costly for society when externalities are included.

Long term, increased reliable electrical demand will hopefully lead to R&D that drives the dollar cost of power down as well.
I've tried this functionality in Halide on my 12 mini, and it's not half bad in good light. No doubt the 13s with built-in macro do better, and it's certainly nowhere near the same realm as the D850 and 105mm macro lens I use for real [1] work [2], but it's not a bad capability to have in a device that fits in a pocket.

Official inflation will be 5% in Germany at the end of year and grocery prices already increased by 13%. So, just take a long-term debt and it will be automatically "paid" by inflation.

Being from Texas, I feel like Texas and Florida are in a race to wherever it is they think they are going. I feel like there needs to be a state level rivalry like colleges. Brings a new meaning to Texas State vs Florida State. Maybe they can have halftime shows too. I also think state laws should be copyrightable so that when other states copy their asinine laws, the originating state gets royalties.
