The draft is very low on most people's protest agenda because it's a coercive thing. Very few people will argue for more coercion, and especially not towards violence.

Meanwhile, women have fought long and hard to be accepted as equals in the (voluntary) military.

And you will find many supporters if instead the selective service, you'd support e.g a year of mandatory social service.

You'll also find support to abandon the draft. (it's a highly unnecessary measure in the face of a professional military). You might even find support to have an egalitarian draft if we move further away from a professional military and instead institute mandatory military service.

But "here's a really bad idea that disproportionality affects a specific group, we should double down to affect more groups negatively" just isn't a proposition appealing to many people - male or female.

Yes, but I think the person you are responding to has a good point: it should be in the headline, as adding one more word ("unregulated") is a pretty significant distinction.
I'm sorry but your comment is fear mongering. The idea that psychedelics are dangerous unless you are 'mentally healthy' misses the point of these substances entirely. Yes they can sometimes do real harm but I would dare to say that those cases are extremely rare and often relate to people with mental ailments like schizophrenia, not issues like depression, anxiety, regret, remorse.
In the 80s I was in Lexington, Ky and got my first modem (1200 baud). That started me on the path to getting connected to others in the computer scene there. Just starting out it was hard to know where to call into but fortunately someone gave me a number to one BBS and that led to the other local ones (my parents wouldn't allow me to do long distance calls so I was limited to local BBSes).

Lexington had an interesting mix of BBS systems. Transylvania University had a system that was open to non-students and had 3-4 incoming lines so you could do real time chat (!) unless of course someone improperly disconnected (dang call waiting) which would cause that line to hang for 30-60 minutes IIRC until it timed out.

Also another great BBS in Lexington was one running Pyroto Mountain where you're a wizard and there are different chat levels depending on your wizard level. Going "up" the mountain required answering trivia questions. To this day a lot of trivia still in my head is from those early Pyroto Mountain days.

I eventually moved to a 9600 baud (Hayes brand!) and then a 28.8k and then 56k modem. Zipping at a 1gig connection at home (always on - no call waiting!) is really quite amazing to experience in just 40-ish years.

I.e. voting shares in a corporation.

And then you need to register your security offering and know who your investors are. You can't just take money into a Delaware corporation and let anonymous wallets vote on what the company does with its assets.

I understand that crypto enthusiasts want to blow up American securities laws. I don't understand why they think it's going to happen if they just persistently keep doing things which are either illegal or just scammy with no legal protections to those whose money is at stake.

Perhaps you were down-voted because this fact does not seem relevant.
You’re confusing wash trading (trading with yourself) with wash sales (a restricted form of capital loss harvesting), which are more or less unrelated despite having “wash” in the name.

> You do NOT need to change the prices for it to be a wash trade.

No you don't. But you do need to be buying and selling the underlying repeatedly for "some reason".

That "some reason" could be fraud, or it could just be tax-optimization. The important thing is, "wash trading" is the technique of buying-and-selling the same thing at nearly the same time... which has many many applications.

Many of those applications are illegal and fraudulent in a traditional market. So seeing something like 70% of the volume of the real world cryptomarket being wash trading suggests that there's more fraud in the cryptomarket than people generally realize.
You are correct that this isn't in the realm of micro. I was more speaking to the substance than the dose.

Why don't you read through the paper?

Here is the short answer:

> We adopt the definition of regulated exchanges from the state of New York, which has one of the
earliest regulatory frameworks in the world. [6]

> 6 Regulated exchanges are issued BitLicenses and are regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services.
Bitlicence carries some of the most stringent requirements. Our main results are robust to alternative classifications of
regulated exchanges. As of June 2020, NYDFS has issued licenses to 25 regulated entities, six of which provide crypto
exchange service. They are Itbit, Coinbase, Bitstamp, Bitflyer, Gemini, and Bakkt (futures and options only). Further

The market is interdependent. Wash trading on one platform benefits all other platforms. When you ask someone the price of BTC they don't say $x on Coinbase, $y on Kraken, etc.

Literally all of crypto is a scam. After 10 years there is not one feasible use case that isn't done better through another tool. I don't consider "making black markets and extortion easier" a feasible use case.
I'd argue that the original article's title was fine; they were indeed looking for wash trading across all the crypto exchanges. The second sentence of the abstract was basically, "Trading activity on regulated exchanges looks fine, but the unregulated ones are a hot mess."

It's just the altered title for the HN submission that is actively misleading.

The answer is not to play games with the payment as if it's the only thing you can engage with - it's to check the contents of their work.

P != NP, as far as we've discovered. As a non-doctor, I can still understand medical conditions. What I don't have are the heuristics to diagnose a medical condition. The way I see it, I'm hiring a doctor (or any other skilled knowledge professional) for their ability to generate a proof certificate (in the algorithms sense) that convinces me of their declared diagnosis. Any consultant who asserts "The answer is X" without being able to explain that answer to an intelligent non-domain-expert has not done their job.
Heavily sales-promise-driven product development is also bad for the company long-term. Saying yes to everything (for even small values of "everything") creates products that are just feature swamps, and not especially compelling at any one thing.
I agree that space elevators are very unlikely in the next few centuries.

But arguing that Starship achieves basically the same thing seems wrong to me.

Starship is subject to the rocket equation. That means all but a few percent of its launch mass is rocket fuel.

Space hooks of all sorts require some transfer of energy, but the idea is it's on the order of magnitude of the actual potential energy gained.

Edit: It strikes me as implausible that we'll get unobtainium with sufficient material strength to build a space elevator without accompanying superconductors run through the elevator structure, but when I ran the numbers, current lithium ion batteries are about 1/60th of the energy density of mass moved from the highest equatorial point on earth to geosync orbit.

Not so very different from the rocket equation, you're right, if we decide there's no way to convey energy through the space elevator.

It's all sci-fi anyway!
I suspect that FAANG armies have higher numbers of left-handed people, at my PPOE it was around 50%, this could change the argument for spiral staircase direction.
Same. Similar laws were passed in South America and the outcome was many small farmers, high food diversity, many communities working harmoniously with all that making for a rich culture and ways of life all paved over...

> Has anyone done this and what was your experience?

I have 2x 2u in two different datacentres in the UK. Connected together via IPSEC using pfSense.

4u is common, and a rack would be nice.

Your costs will come based on racking units, bandwidth and transit/connection speeds.
1Gbit is going to be more than 100mbit but you can normally negoiate this.

Hardware costs are up-front but when the server is humming, they last for a good period of time.

You don't normally gain DDoS protection so if you require it, factor that in.

> How do you select a colo and what do you look for?

Choose whether you would like:

Commercial (Cogent, Peer1, Rackspace) who own actual buildings and run as an datacentre as a datacentre. Try to provide the greatest, hand you an account manager and the ability to ticket the DCop monkeys.

Or, independent who own industial units called datacentres. Who tend to over decent internet feeds and hold more of a independent feel. However they may lack the 24/7 support you may need. Or enterprise features that you may find within commercial.

In terms of selection I recommend taking a look on WebHostingTalk.com under their colocation section. Google yeilds good results. Find a provider, get in contact and take a tour of the DC and see how it feels.

> How do you manage the hardware and how much savings in time/$ is there really?

My servers are all second hand eBay purchases and have had a lot of TLC to get up to scrap. Once tamed, they purr. The amount of work on them is near to none. Create a new VM, Update OS; general SysAdmin stuff.

I would recommend that if your looking for sanity: buy new. eBay servers are hit/miss and you never know what condition they will arrive in.

iLO/LOM is configured so I always have remote management unless the DC goes dark. Servers are resillent too, I have one server which has two ram sticks failling, but still operating with no issues.

Network issues can arise and you have to ensure it's not you causing the mishap before you can get actual help. You most likely won't get DDoS protection on independent-owned but is a growing trend so you may get lucky.

I moved from VPS to colocation and refuse to use the cloud. The cloud has its purposes but for me, I'd rather bare metal and hypervisors. Paying another company to host my information where I may not even have full control. Just doesn't settle with me if I am to provide client services. Plus, I can actually own the internet space these servers sit upon. No restrictions with what services I desire.

My OS is FreeBSD hosting virtual machines with bHyve within a jail. I will always advocate for colocation.

> At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what process is used for coming up with estimates and delivering.

Yes, it does, because:

> Regardless of what you think your process is, somewhere near the top of the leadership pyramid, it all boils down to a customer promise upon which hinges your organization’s reputation.

Right. So if the process of coming up with those promises – of what to deliver at what cost in $ and time – isn’t aligned with what goes on below, there is a problem. So, the process below matters intensely.

> In non-dysfunctional organizations people at all levels can understand and adapt to curveballs that cause deadlines to slip.

“Understanding and adapting to curveballs” in a large organization is itself a matter of process. And a big factor in it is identifying those curveballs with time to understand and adapt. Which is, also, a matter of process, and particularly the processes of estimating, re-estimating, and delivering, exactly the processes you said don’t matter.

> The hard thing is it all requires honesty.

That is among the hard things, sure. But even before honesty, it requires openness to accepting facts, including facts that have been established fairly solidly about what does and doesn’t work when it comes to estimating intellectual labor instead of implementing rote project management processes derived from physical infrastructure work where the bulk of work is easily-quantified construction, not intellectual labor.

Guess what: in general, no two CPU floating-point architectures produce exactly same results.

EDIT: Also, try converting JPEGs to uncompressed PNG using Python with Pillow or OpenCV, then try on C using libjpeg and the stb_image header library. All four create slightly different output.

The difference between

a tiny device watching 24/7, saving everything it observes, and making the recording available to third parties including the police*, without either the owner or you being informed

is gigantic. There is no comparison here: these cameras are different in kind (not degree) from the normal human lack of privacy on the sidewalk.

But they do, in fact, in actual practice. Just as a hunting accident may not have been intentional but still has an effect.
