According to Hollywood one does not simply homebrew Phenylacetone. In movies like The Witness or the TV show Breaking Bad their entire plotlines revolve around people killing to get a drop of the stuff. It's not like it's anything new or that ephedra is some kind of natural produce that grows on trees. Skimming through your article it sounds like these cartel chemists are dropping dead in their laboratories trying to make it and producing a final product that's more like krokodil if anything.
I almost never wade into the cesspool that is YT comments but just this once I read through a number. Every single one made fun of the governor and the PAC that put together the video. That was mildly heartening.
I think the announcement is more so that people will report the cards if they pop up somewhere.

EVGA can't sell the cards as new even if they recover them, so I suspect that EVGA will let people keep the cards if they cooperate.

The goal is to find the chain of thieves. And the best way to do that is make things more public, not less.
I would, I find that there are lots of data transformations and non-deep modelling happening in python still. E.g string processing, Json munching, business rules if-this-then-remove, etc.
IP address logging can be problematic, my company considers it to be PII to have the full IP (but not if you remove the last 3 digits). I wouldn't include that as a minimum. I also think it's weird to include SSO without including some form of opt-in 2FA. TOTP isn't all that difficult to implement if you are already storing passwords. Note also that I said opt-in so if 2FA is inconvenient, that is fine.

I also don't feel like all of the requirements should be the minimum. Good examples of minimum requirements are the redirect to TLS requirement. External pen testing is one of the requirements that feels like a nice to have rather than a minimum bar. Minimum standards should be stuff that if you don't do it, technically savvy people would be very concerned if someone uses your product. Stuff like lack of TLS, plain text passwords, lack of input sanitization, using an ancient web server, etc.
Sure, and people living in Cambodia would find those salaries excessively high. But I'm not sure what your point is?

Salaries are higher in higher cost of living areas. You have to compare the salary to local living costs to be comparable.
The cards are what's expensive. PSUs are getting more expensive but by far the cards are the toughest thing to get. Just getting serviceable motherboards/CPUs/RAM is just about as easy now as it has always been.

Most multi-GPU farms run like 4-6 GPUs off a single machine. Although some specialized "BTC" motherboards have whacky scalper prices it's not hard to find other motherboards with OK multi-GPU support. You do not need a 'gamer' high performance motherboard to mine effectively. The only thing that really matters is being able to run as many GPUs as it's supposed to without bluescreening.

The power requirements are also not as high as you would expect from the typical power consumption of 30 series cards because it's overall more efficient to mine on much lower overall power consumption than you would get from a gaming workload. Mining just puts stress on different parts of the GPU than gaming and requires less power than a full throttle gaming workload. So you are able to run many more 3080s or what have you on a smaller PSU than you would be able to if you were using those 3080s overclocked and with a high power limit on gaming workloads. You just do not get that much extra hashpower if you go past certain levels of power consumption: it's easier / more efficient to just add another card.
I was a bit sarcastic, but the effects on real estate values alone prevent many from wanting to live near a plant.

The sarcasm came from the crypto part. The idea that swaths of US land would be devalued for the latest crypto pump and dump project makes me laugh and die inside.

I mean Solana is actually pretty cool. But all other crypto projects of which I am aware do not add value to our species as a whole. So adding nuclear power to the mix, for which the total cost of ownership is not even calculable? Just wow.
Right, agree and understand 100%, but if I do the authorization code flow (which I agree all apps should do) - is the 2nd check (of using the received token to check the user can access that installation) required? if they didn't have permission to install it, the callback wouldn't happen? I am feeling they imply a 3rd, interim diagram flow where you do the authorization code (instead of the setup URL that they should probably remove due to the risk) - but without the GET /user/installations check - I am trying to understand if they had a POC of that being exploitable (e.g. using a valid code but sending a different installation ID)
> In 10 years it can change many things for people (very possibly in areas that are not even close to crypto).

Can you suggest some ways my life might be different in ten years thanks to cryptocurrency?
The only person with a reality perception issue is you. Your posts are extremely ironic.
We had one that was over 500 questions.

And this is certainly the truth:

> And no, you can't give this to an intern, or just search-and-answer most questions,

Ah, but the answer for major suppliers such as AWS and Azure, etc, is their own ISO 27001, SOC2, etc, certifications that you can defer that risk to.
What about the “my house burns down along with all my devices” threat model?
Well, relatively speaking that was a lot for late 1970s microcomputers. The original Apple ][ and TRS-80 Model I were essentially built from off the shelf chips (which is why both got off-brand clones).
> They also went the extra-mile to block Iranian developers, they didn't have to do so much police, and probably tried to buy their redemption.

US sanctions, even the threat thereof, are serious business. To this day, US nationals or US tax persons are having a really hard time finding a bank in Europe that is willing to deal with them because many banks don't want any exposure to the US FATCA they can avoid.

I had an ex-girlfriend who was born in Germany to US and Greek parents. Quite the shitshow with paperwork.
Nvidia would have to approve it, and they might not be too willing to risk headlines of "Nvidia update bricks cards", regardless of the amount of actual units it would actually affect.

Unless you mean EVGA putting a method to brick cards within their own software, such as "EVGA Precision X1" (their overclocking/fan control/rgb lighting tool).

Both are terrible options in my opinion, as the most likely destination for these cards would end up being a mining operation, with most likely little care for keeping slightly outdated drivers if it meant lower hardware costs. Or an unwitting customer, who ends up with a nice brick.
That isn't true, even if it's not the majority, a significant number homes are purchased as rental/investment properties.
There's a massive gulf between the two and I expect you do know this despite the comment.
Ola has no prior auto manufacturing experience, they are already delayed [1], their ability to deliver sales, or after sales support and do local manufacturing is as yet unproven.

Tesla came very close to collapse when they couldn't scale few times. Ola's success and the market appetite for e-bikes remains to be seen.

India's shift to electric is driven by fuel cost conscious buying rather than by climate consciousness, that means Ola (and others) do not have the support that Tesla enjoyed when their product was(still is?) not on par with ICE car from ideological buyers .

These scooters also will not be able to command a large premium to current prices and also do the volume to make in-roads in the market. There is a reason that electric is less than 1% of the market.

My uninformed estimate is that market can realistically only pick up significantly when battery chemistry evolves enough to make a decent range (> 150+ Miles) scooter priced at < $1,500 US . I have not read anything on how Ola or others are actually making batteries cheaper or better range like with say Tesla's 4680.

1. And biggest for me: Exact types

function x(y: {
foo: number,
bar?: number
}) {}

const y = {
foo: 1,
baar: 2, // typo
}
x(y)

The above is caught in Flow when exact types are enabled but not in TS.

TS issue https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/12936

TS has a concept of "freshness" which catches some of these mistakes when you construct y right in the arguments of x, but it gets easily broken by accident and without a warning.

2. Nominal types, so you can have for example "Id" type that is a number but not to be mixed with other numbers, you can't just call a function that expects an Id with literal 42. Classes are nominal too, which I think is a solid choise.

3. Type variance & related safeguards

function x(y: {
foo: string | number
}) {
y.foo = 1
}
const y: {
foo: string
} = {foo: 'a'}
x(y)
y.foo.toUpperCase()

Caught by Flow but not TS.

4. Local call site type inference of function argument types, so you can have some helper functions within a file that you don't need to explicitly annotate, and Flow will happily infer types based on how you call it.

5. Performance has gotten prerty good with recent versions, to the point where I suspect it's faster than TS. I don't have any hard data on this though.

Even though in many many ways Flow is worse than TS, we have still stuck with it, and that's only like 80% because it'd be s huge undertaking to make the switch. 20% is because some of these features are actually nice :)

Uhh - that's pretty normal. If I buy my full frame Nikon off craigslist - no warrenty comes with this.

"nasty move".

Only on HN would this even be an issue. Most places, if you don't buy from an authorized dealer - no warranty. My HVAC system was the same way. If you bought grey market / off market - no equipment warranty.

Same thing with solar warranty.
Probably has something to do with how Biden is doing.
This seems kinda cargo culty. An MVP necessarily meets the security requirements of its customers else it would not be purchased and hence is not an MVP as it is unviable in the market.

If your product is solving a pain point things like SOC compliance will be granted exemptions or an attestation will be provided until an audit is completed, this allows the customer to reap the benefits of the product while the i's are dotted and t's crossed.

no, that’s a defeatist position promoted by polluting industries. eliminating the top 5%[0] of the most polluting power plants would make a significant (but not wholly sufficient) dent in the emissions problem. that’s on the order of changing the behavior of a few hundred people (not easy, but not as hard as literally everyone).

In a way, yes. If windows didn't break, that hurts profits of window-making companies, and makes them all go out of business, leaving people without jobs, etc. Once everyone has a Forever Window there will be no one to sell new windows to, and there's hardly much innovation left in the field of windows. Planned obsolescence is a thing.

So was MK-ULTRA, and the internment of Japanese-Americans in concentration camps during WW2. I don't think we get to cherry-pick.

I'm pretty sure we would have had wide-area and eventually global computer networks soon enough even if ARPA hadn't funded that specific research. People like to talk to other people.

A better argument would be GPS due to the massive capex involved, I think, but even that is one that is far too useful to have gone not-done for long. Starlink shows us that it didn't need to be the military.
Sometimes they'll make a clearing for construction and/or maintenance that is basically a road.
Nvidia drivers work just fine with no networking, I've used them so frequently.

The anti-mining technique that Nvidia uses depends on firmware modifications as well. Thus the firmware of these stolen GPUs must already support such a banlist.
Any pictures? :)
That works exactly as long as such an US-aligned company doesn't enter the spotlight in some sanctioned entity related trouble.

Had friends working export compliance for a larger US IT company, and they once (temporarily) blocked a larger shipment to the (British) Royal Air Force because some bozo abbreviated them as "RAF" - which, obviously!, refers to the (German) Red Army Faction, a left-extremist terrorist cell that wasn't relevant for more than 10 years at that point (and wouldn't know what to do with high performance computers, anyway).

Better safe than sorry, otherwise you mess up one day, come back to the HQ on the next and all that's left is a brand new parking lot.
The problem isn't simply about poverty/money or racism or past inequities, it's about corruption, gangs, fatherlessness, teacher unions and lack of school choice.

Chicago has been fully one party ruled since 1931. Baltimore since 1963, Detroit since 1962 etc and so on. Why has none of the lives improved in these cities and they keep having gang problems?

If Chicago hasn't been able to fix anything for almost a century, maybe it's time to either vote for another party or start a new party and vote for them.

Related, 13 Baltimore City High Schools, Zero Students Proficient in Math. Baltimore is 2nd in per pupil spending. This is not because the schools dont get enough money. In fact its just about as far away from that as you can get. If despite getting the 2nd more funded, the students still can't do high school math, someone needs to look at what's going on in these schools.

The early cryptography wars were fought over code as speech.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/04/remembering-case-estab...

There is an argument to be made that running software that speaks a protocol is an extension of speech.

The mental position that wants to ban cryptocurrency is the same one that that wanted to ban/suppress cryptography in the 90s.
It's always hard to judge scale perfectly in pictures, but the base on those towers would be at least 2 traffic lanes, if not 4 wide. They didn't say what size highway.

EDIT: According to another comment[1], the cut is 75ft wide.
That's enough for 6 lanes.

I don’t know if they were going to do it in this case but frequently they clear-cut the entire path the width of the towers between the towers.
The current mozilla ceo is doing whatever they get paid to do by the advertising investors. They are driving firefox slowly to the ground.

Firing developers, nerfing the UI, removing feature which had be stable for years. You name it, every single change is to drive this browser to the ground. Mark my word, we wont have a firefox we love in 5-10 years max.

Nit. CFR may not be the best measure, as it is very sensitive to the level of testing, which I expect is higher in a small homogenous country like Singapore. Alternatively, raw deaths per million shows closer numbers, though unclear if Singapore peaked yet.

Hm, not specifically. OAuth2 specifications and documentation sort of address the motivation for Refresh Tokens at least (and are widely written about in blog posts etc) - and I think the security recommendations documents now strongly push for Refresh Tokens. For the benefit of automated refresh one could also pull the Let's Encrypt arguments as "similar enough" and widely recognized as good practice.

Presumably the idea is someone will find one of the cards for sale and then report it leading to finding the thieves.
The opposition is less about cutting trees and more about being bossed around by “big energy”. People don’t like being told what they can and cannot do.
> You don't even need a network card, much less a network connection

Well, NVidia could require these, and make your card phone home every X minutes.
Reality is highly subjective so I hesitate to make arguments about how media failed to report 'the facts' of situations.

However, its pretty clear to me that the media's ability to assert certain opinions by asserting with more force is not conducive to a healthy long-term society.
That's the risk you take buying things from randos on EBay. Buy from authorized resellers if you don't want this to happen.
weird: we have a very similar setup in my little corner of England and I have similar feelings. The "executive" professionals can run amok, awarding dubious contracts to friends and spending millions of taxpayer money in quixotic schemes, with little or no accountability; meanwhile, elected councillors are counting potholes. The electorate is so divided that there has been no clear majority for 5-6 years, which probably weakens political oversight even more. Coming from a more "roman-napoleonic" country, all this seems silly and wide-open to all sorts of corruption.
I worked there! Canadian company. Seemed very determined to stay a small company while having huge aspirations.
Flow also supports "discriminated unions" [0], and did so before TypeScript (Flow's announcement in July 2015: https://flow.org/blog/2015/07/03/Disjoint-Unions/, TypeScript's announcement in August 2016: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescr...), though it doesn't yet support destructuring the "kind" field as was just added to TypeScript.

> Just look at Libya during the Arab Spring.

Iran at least has some sort of functioning government entity (which I, to be clear, absolutely despise), Libya collapsed completely as a result of Ghaddafi's (well deserved) downfall and it will likely be a hotbed of Islamist terrorism and instability for decades to come. I don't see any nation or block of nations willing to step up and do nation rebuilding in once-beautiful Libya outside of the EU financing terrorists aka the so-called "coast guard" to torture migrants - what makes you think any kind of revolution in Iran would be assisted by anyone?

The US even abandoned the Kurds ffs.

[edit] forgot a word
I just checked and USDC is indeed available now for card top-up. How long have you been using the card? USDC top up wasn't available quite recently for USA users.

I verified I wasn't imagining and checked to find several reddit threads from US-based users wondering why you cannot use USDC to top up. Here's a fairly one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Crypto_com/comments/oll7n4/is_the_o...

The ability to top up with USDC was only recently added. That being said, I tested it and 1USDC does indeed convert to 1USD.

But go ahead and try to top up with DAI - you'll see at this moment in time, 100.98 DAI is required to top up $100 USD. As mentioned previously DAI was the only dollar stablecoin available to USA users, so it was a bit of a raw deal.

From my experience:
- NVIDIA seems to have best balance of culture of competency, work satisfaction vs how well is run, although it is getting more bureaucratic as it grows
- Google used to be good in many aspects but now things are deteriorating
- Facebook is mixed bag, where Oculus part is more of a wild west and main FB is still ok better than Google
- Amazon other than "hire to fire" (loading your RSUs towards the end and then raising the bar to force you out before main RSU chunk gets vested) is a mixed bag
- Intel is with a royally broken culture, rampant nepotism and crooked HR (just try to google HR flagging employees "THIEVE" just so they do not get re-hired regardless of their performance and also read in the Oregonian news about age discrimination where they mopped large number of actual best engineers - no wonder they lost the edge and are sinking further, not sure if the current CEO who is the best thing that happened to them can save them anymore. My bet if he does not do HR and culture cleanup, he won't be able to do much. The only hope for Intel is geo-political move of the fab manufacturing to the US but even that will have mixed effect.)
- Apple is mixed bag, with some teams better and some worse and all suffering from culture of secrecy
All in all in each company you can find a good team with a good manager/director/VP as well as you can find bad ones. All pay competitively, where Intel is at the bottom followed by NVIDIA although case by case for higher grades both can compete if needed.
