Makes you wonder. If he had've kept it for a day or so, then simply returned the money (similarly anonymously, preferably better than he did it...) and kept the gains, would they have chased him down?
You hit the nail on the head.

It's terrifying how many Americans on this thread defend this despicable system as something normal and expected.
DNA is a lot more than the analogy of computer code. A cell is also a 3D printer that runs on DNA, its a factory that manages it's inventory with DNA instructions, and much more.

Sweeping complex bio systems under the rug as evolution is unfair and quite frankly ideological. The sheer amount of complexity that's unaccounted for and the fact that it's constantly increasing is truly phenomenal.
Because unless you are an academic what good would that do? Employers would still know you had obtained the degree and at worst there might he a small discount on your starting salary. You wouldn’t be fired for losing it.

I have no idea how this passed Coinbase's KYC limits, there must be much more to the story here. I can't imagine that it was a typical self-serve trade via their web UI, he surely developed some form of OTC relationship with Coinbase to pull off buying this much BTC and successfully withdrawing it.

~$144m of May 2021 BTC turned into ~$221m in December at the time of seizure, if they decide to realize the gains.
> My primary objection to them is the way they throw away the stack and throw away structured programming as a result,

Structured concurrency is orthogonal to whether you're using a thread-based or monadic API. Goroutines, for example, are both thread-based and unstructured. On the other hand, you can have concurrency that is structured but still thread-based (like Trio), unstructured but monadic (like Scala's built-in Future type), or both structured and monadic (like Rust's Future type).
The Nordic countries include Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland and Finland

Scandanavia includes Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. The common factor there is having closely related languages and cultures. However, speaking from experience as an American, we often use "Scandanavian" as a synonym of "Nordic".

If they have not made those distinctions about US funded propaganda outlets, is that because they don't exist? Or because those international journalism organizations can't be trusted to call balls and strikes?
Bottle and can recycling worked with incentives. But both are valuable to the receiver outside of the cash incentive on energy grounds. I don't think fabric recycling has that energy benefit so I am unsure incentives would work full life cycle.

Currently only about 10% of student loans come from private institutions. I'm not sure if I want the government saying "You can't have a loan to study X because you won't make enough money". I'm not sure it's even possible to say that, except for using average life time earnings that could vary wildly over time.

Teenagers applying for college usually don't have personal credit histories to be evaluated. Either we give out lots of student loans, or we don't.
You mean the very same bankruptcy laws that more or less prevent you from borrowing money for years to come, should you decide to use them?
Excellently put.

> It's extremely difficult because the human psyche seems incapable of distinguishing "fact" from "that which supports my view", at least when the emotions are activated, and the only topics where people seek "fact checking" in the first place are the ones where emotions are activated. There may be exceptions—i.e. people whose minds don't work this way—but if they exist, they're so rare as to be no basis for social policy. (And I doubt that there are really exceptions.)

I think there are at least people who do seek to fact check their own views or dissents from their own views with genuine curiosity. But that's still a matter of degree, and even the most platonically curious among us still use the same monkey brain blueprints that we all do. They may do their due diligence more often, but never, ever always.
But that would be a scope shift, so if we're going there, now do Stingrays, PRISM, paralell construction, and FISA - but I won't say these are quality arguments. Outside this admitted whataboutism on my part, the very narrow defense I'm indicating for NSO in this specific case is it was within the sovereign right of this customer to use it, and it's only going to happen more often as this market is infinite.

I still think the Americans are just mad they got owned by Uganda. I'd bet this isn't the first time they have scored points against the low expectations of their "advisors," either so: well played. Point Uganda. I think this is a really funny precedent, and I can't believe I'm defending either of them, but the arguments back just aren't powerful when compared to demand for the tools of sovereignty, and we should give the conseqeunces of that due consideration.
The biggest thing that puzzles me about this (and about many recent geopolitical events) is the elephant in the room. Nobody mentions it:

The United Nations

Why isn't this issue being discussed there, prominently?

If it's not possible to even discuss the behavior of the 5 permanent Security Council members (5 of the most powerful countries in the world), then screw it! Let's just get rid of the UN entirely.
I do not envy you your experience.
Of course there is localization of function in the brain. Just because you see a lot of raw activity in the brain at any one time doesn't contradict that: the brain is doing lots of things at the same time too. But more importantly, more than one function may be necessary to achieve any particular behavior. Think of all that has to go on to type a message in a forum like this. Motor control of the fingers, memory of key-letter mappings, language, syntax, vocabulary, and organization of thought. Sure, typing a message in a web forum doesn't have a specific localization in the brain, but we wouldn't exactly expect that would we. Instead, we have functions to differentiate, associate, evaluate, to localize, generalize, infer, predict. The mechanics of reinforcement learning, for example, are predictably localized in specific brain regions in the caudate.

I think articles like this do more harm than good. The brain is not an undifferentiated connectionist network.

The issue is that radiation is a silent killer, so it is extremely easy people with vested interests in (say) fossil fuels to exploit our inability to access risk. Coal hurts people every single day, but it doesn't have the same poetic weight as radiation so this is lost on the general public.

Nuclear power is expensive, however. Dealing with the waste is also an issue but firstly, forcing us to deal with the waste seriously is potentially not such a bad thing (assuming we need nuclear in the long run, which unless storage comes a very long way we presumably will), and secondly this is the kind of question where a government with a lot of political capital needs to just find some deserted land to build a long term solution.

He opened the Coinbase account under the bank's name, as a business account, with forged documents. A regular Coinbase account would never be able to do this. Coinbase was fooled in this scheme, but so were both banks, so this is not a case of Coinbase being uniquely vulnerable. And the Bitcoin shenanigans did not help this guy at all in the end, so this is not a case of crypto being useful for crime either.
I guess? That’s just such a bizarre statement. But based on the rest of the thread that could indeed be the intent.
It's innocent until proven guilty in a court of law

Are you suggesting that private companies should have to take their users to court before disabling accounts
They traced him, because, it seems that he wasn't the smartest criminal in the planet.

Just the fact that he was in tokyo (japan), instead of a non US aligned country, such as Russia or China, that he had his private keys easy accesible and that he stayed in BTC instead of going for another crypto more anon friendly, says a lot of the stupid nature of this "criminal"

But once again, my whole point is, coinbase allowed a random person to deposit 154 millions USD and withdraw 3.8k btc with absolutely no problems? and in a quickly way, according to the original article

I think its safe to assume that the banks said, okay the money went to coinbase, and coinbase just said yeah about that, he used the money to buy BTC and withdrew it to this wallet and thats about it

the guy was located cause he didnt even try to hide himself, the rest is history.

my point remains, if this, that was a such dumb crime, managed to convert the stolen funds into BTC using coinbase with absolutely no problems, then its easy to assume that real and strong money going to biggest offshores exchanges is from illicit sources.
I think that is what he attempted to do
Those are done by looking at their screens. The teachers are likely notified if anyone is not looking at their Zoom window and then just go over and see what they're doing. Searching for topics that happen to cross your mind is hard to resist, and the students likely don't care if the teachers know they are searching about LGBT rights or clicking on the Google Doodle. Why would they?
Wow, this is appalling medical advice.

I don’t understand the cynics beyond surface-level. Still trying to.

Web3 is a backend change to the current internet so you hold your assets in your wallet and sign to allow/revoke their use on a service. Combined with the transparency into underlying chains you can do some really interesting stuff (e.g., opensea). Ultimately the new paradigm could fix the first sin of web2 which is some mix of getting off the ad model & eliminating the credentials everywhere issue.

>I have the skills and experience to make others a lot of money, but my grey hair is so terrifying, that no one pays attention to my qualifications.

You need to position yourself as a consultant with a clearly defined area of expertise, your own site, blog, etc. A salaried employee these days is first and foremost a team monkey hired to please the boss, and only then a skilled professional. When you need someone with actual expertise, you hire them transactionally to solve the problem and keep them on a separate frequency from the usual chicken coup business.

A local newspaper had instituted separate "I agree / disagree" and "Well / Badly argued" buttons to their comments section. This was, in principle, a good idea. It'd let people clap for things that made them feel nice but didn't exactly have much substance to them, and to recognize well-argued opposing points while registering their dissent. The system was, in theory, excellent.

Of course, nothing remotely close to the ideal use case happened, and banal nonsense was voted as being a good argument because the readers agreed with it, and good, carefully thought out comments got swamped in bad argument flags because they were disagreeable. People just rated on one feeling-valence and nothing else.

In the end, the paper canned most of the voting options, and the interface is left with "reply" and "well argued".
One can argue that it's because student loans are easy to get, that there are so many spurious universities preying on students. I wouldn't really disagree with that. Let me share a different perspective. I couldn't get a student loan. They don't make it easy to get student loans in my country. Very few are alloted by public banks and those go to the managers' favorites. Because of the lack of a collateral, private banks don't every try - too much risk. My parents had to sell the only property we had - our house - to send me to college. I don't know if that is a better situation to be honest. I'd have gladly gone into debt to let my parents keep their home.

And the best part is that education wasn't even expensive for me - esp with the govt scholarship. But even that little money was a huge expense for my family. I know so many other fellow students who had a similar story. It's hard to imagine how many other families could have been lifted if they were given an opportunity like I had.
I could, and maybe save some money, but it wouldn't save me any worry or time.

They don't give out free storage. If you aren't paying with money you're paying with something else and you have no expectation of privacy when you agree to terms that say as such.
> Which is to say, the problem is organizations using storage.googleapis.com URLs, not organizations blocking them.

Blocking this domain definitely isn't common, at least not in large organizations. Several of my company's B2B apps use Google Cloud Storage (it's just Google Cloud's version of S3) and have always used storage.googleapis.com/bucketname rather than bucketname.storage.googleapis.com. (AFAIK it was the default URL format shown in their documentation when I last looked at it years ago.)

We've had to deal with overzealous corporate web filters now and then - comes with the territory of B2B apps - but I've never heard of storage.googleapis.com being blocked. It'd be pretty straightforward for us to change it if a customer had trouble, but we'd probably gently push back and ask them to whitelist the domain before doing so.
Depends on how many future benefits/welfare payments you can get be loaned/played early. Seems like eventually people would max out that option and then need some other source of loans.
They knew what they were doing. And I don’t see why major US companies deserve much sympathy if they’re as bad as you say.

There is hope, and there will be fumbles on the way I think. The real solution is for us all to voluntarily run a CSAM scan on our systems that can trigger a notification to a nuetral arbiter (ideally something like an online jury of ones peers, but who don't know you) take a quick glance at the photo, determine it's your kids in the bathtub and not CSAM, and click "It's Fine".

We would subscribe to updates to a CSAM scanning corpus which would parameterize the scan. The whole thing requires "trusting the client" but I bet there are ways to make it work. If it would defuse this movement toward total black box checking of content, then I think it's worth it to voluntarily do this kind of scan. The effectiveness presumes that the intersection of child porn consumers and users sophisticated enough to disable a scan like the one I'm imagining is very small.
I'd rather live in a system without the institution of bankruptcy and enjoy life with almost zero risk of this happening.

>I don't think straight white cis-male is a protected class in any case

FYI, in the case of protected classes, it covers all people. For instance, if race is a protected class, that doesn't apply to some races, it applies to race in general. In other words, you can't discriminate based on race, regardless of the race being discriminated against.

That's how it works in the US, and I know this is Canada but your comment seemed to imply protected class was something else "in any case".

What makes it really challenging to leave Apple is all the integrations it has with its own products. If a friend of mine has an iPhone, I can share my wifi password with them from my iPad. If I want to send them a photo from my MacBook, I don’t have to ask for their email. If they’re nearby, I just airdrop it directly onto their phone.

You can’t escape from their ecosystem without seriously limiting your ability to interact with friends. The only way out I can see is If someone makes a phone that can interop seamlessly with all these features. That seems like a really hard technical challenge with a very small market.

Nuclear is much cheaper when built at scale, with multiple copies of the same design. Serial production of nuclear plans in the 70s produced plants at a cost of about 2 billion per GW of capacity. And bear in mind that nuclear's capacity factor is over 90% as compared to 25-35% for wind and solar. And it's not an intermittent power source, eliminating the need for storage.

The reality is that we don't have the capacity to fulfill energy demand without controllable sources. You can't just say, "well it's cloudy and not very windy. Guess plumbing just isn't going to work today because we can't power the pumps." Well, you can but you'll immediately get voted out of office and replaced with someone who will build fossil fuel plants to keep the country alive.
You'd be surprised, but many Western European countries have a concept of being decent, sense of duty, etc. While the modus operandi in the U.S. seems to be "go for it, as long as you can get away without getting jailed or sued".

On the other hand, the European culture pushes back quite heavily towards fitting in and against entrepreneurship, so neither of them is perfect.

You're absolutely right about the focus, the narrowing of product lines and a return to consumer products, giving Apple a path to the iPod and financial success. Apple needed a story, a reason to exist, and then needed to bring that story to their chosen market. Apple could not afford to cover every bet, to run the table. The Sculley strategy had failed.

And none of that shift was technology. NeXT vs BeOS would not have made a difference on the relevant time scale.

But we love to nerd out of the tech, and Be had some wonderful stuff. Love their filesystem, their interrupt handling, dang the PowerPC could destroy Intel in context-switch latency speed... What an awesome Jeff Goldblum ad campaign that would have been!

Pour one out for BeOS. And Dylan. And Newton soup... But as I consider tech details, again most of the good ideas did not die. ARM handheld hardware, dynamic but typed TypeScript, tuple-space data message passing noSQL soup. After a while, you see the bits and get that familiar feeling.
