So it looks like Binance has a U.S. entity that is regulated.

Those arbitrary-seeming differences are everywhere once you try to justify who gets tips and who doesn’t. Pretty much every justification of why tips are great applies to jobs that don’t get tips, and vice versa.
I've been trying to switch to iCloud email today, but apparently you need to set up an @icloud.com email address before you can use your own domain, and every single thing I've tried I get back a "This address is taken" message, even with entirely random strings [0]. They also have a 21 character limit, just to make it harder.

We had amazing results with all the postings on SO jobs. All developers that we hired through it are still in the company and these are some of the best people I ever worked with.

I read "Ready Player One" years ago after a few colleagues recommended it. I truthfully could not get through it. After a point in about the middle of the book I realized that there were other books I would much rather be reading and the nostalgia just wasn't hitting me to overcome the rather lacking story lines and not great writing.

To each their own: some will like it some won't, but I was not a fan. I couldn't imagine putting myself through this book as well. I think a lot of the criticisms on the Wikipedia page hold true for both books: "tedious slog through arcane pop culture references sprinkled in [lazily]," I agree with this assessment for the first book as well. I applaud Cline for writing about his love of pop culture and immortalizing it in a book, but in many ways it felt like badly written fanfic.

Overall, the books are not written for me. Many people enjoyed them, enjoyed the nostalgia.

I'm semi-seriously considering installing a few 240V outlets in my kitchen when I redo it and smuggling in a European kettle (any recommendations on a nice temperature-controlled one? I use and like this 120V now: https://www.amazon.com/Bonavita-BV382510V-Variable-Temperatu...)

The US secretly has 240V power almost everywhere, but we use center-tapped transformers upstream of the service connection that provide two 120V legs (180 degrees out of phase). So lighting and appliances all get 120V (typically 15A), with the exception of high-power items like cooktops, ovens, and these machines we have for drying our laundry indoors.

I'm not sure this is a good example, because there's no way for you to read them from the same thread (and reading from another thread would be a race). Reading them from a signal handler would yield unspecified values (unless you're using lock-free atomic types, in which case we're probably not worried about optimizing these assignments).

This guy really irks me. For one, since he took over it really seems Twitter is heading towards a direction to suit activist investor demands. I used to be able to browse Twitter posts of people I tend to respect (mainly scientific and academic people) without having to login and it is getting increasingly difficult without doing so lately as they keep showing me the login screen.

This guy has a toxic history of narcissistic behavior as reported in several local Indian social

To be reductive, I kind of feel like there's two Ayn Rands, or at least she's discussed in two contexts: One is as a philosopher (Fountainhead), and other is as a political philosopher (Atlas Shrugged, Anthem). The focus recently has been on the latter, as people like Paul Ryan and Ted Cruz would mention their affinity for Atlas Shrugged as a justification for shrinking the role of the federal gov't. This piece is clearly written in response to that, and most of the recent discussion of her has been re: what she thinks the role of the gov't should be in people's lives, or in a market economy.

You are talking about the former, and I think you can make the case that raising a child can be substituted in for "designing a building" like in the Fountainhead as a responsibility someone chooses, but I don't think it's so clean as usually raising a child involves a second person (and therefore compromise), as well as the child themselves who has to have some autonomy over their lives. This dynamic is pretty hard to navigate with purely objectivist principles imo as there's three individuals involved including the child who needs to be turned from a ball of emotions into a full fledged adult, and this is ripe for comedy. The OP failed to do so (look at that Muppets Take Manhattan joke, who the hell is laughing at that other someone enjoying a political enemy being mocked?). I think the Simpsons did a pretty good job with their joke.
In fact, if you want the labour market to be a free market, universal basic income will help; then you've got a market where people can always say no to a deal they don't like. When the choice becomes: take the shitty deal or starve, it's not really a free market anymore.
> unused load removal

Oh come on, this is like the most UB-centric thing in the entire compiler. The compiler uses UB to know that it has enumerated all uses of a memory location, as any pointer that didn't get its value from the data dependency tree that compiler used had to use UB to compute the address. (Be it from buffer overflow, use after end-of-lifetime, random integer converted to pointer, etc.)
I’m disappointed with the reset button: it uses a dangling label inside a link, which reloads the page:

<a href="./calc.html">
<label for="reset">C</label>
</a>

Rather than just using the formerly-ubiquitous but now rare beast (I think I saw exactly one last year), a reset button:

<input type="reset" value="C">

To keep the CSS simple (!), you could even keep using the label (though ditch the <a> wrapping) and just chuck an invisible <input type=reset id=reset> in with the radio buttons, if you really want. Then the label would dangle no more.
To be fair: there are some areas of research [0][1] which cannot but help sound like fantasy.

Even were they to be pursued with the utmost rigor. Which by definition they can't be, because the very people and institutions required to do so would shy away because it's too fantastic of an endeavor.

- i started a bed and breakfast
- i went back to school for 'x'

What a wonderful word, "respond". Not answer. Respond. That's exactly what you're doing: responding

HN: This is not "finalised"

Respond: oh yes, it is finalised. Because browsers [sic! plural] conform to the living standard

HN: It's not implemented or supported by browsers (plural).

Respond: Oh, it doesn't matter, all that matters is that Chrome implemented it

(Aside: for something to be considered standard and finalised there should be at least two independent implementations. See history of why WebSQL on top of Sqlite never happened)

HN: Others view this standard as harmful

Respond: why are you attacking me personally

> who can express their thoughts without resorting to personal attacks.

To me you are just another in a long list of Chrome's talking heads who all behave absolutely identically (and their behaviour is very well documented across various internet platforms): ignore, deflect, gaslight. What you see is simply a reaction to this. To your credit you haven't stooped down to gaslighting.

Want to see a different approach? Change your (as in Chrome team's) behaviour. That is, however, unlikely: Chrome stands nothing to lose by ignoring any and all concerns about its behaviour.

Agree that the titles may distort the perception (you make an excellent point), but I was concerned about the conclusion of the article. Thank you for bringing that to light.

I also respect your reading of the article as a generalization of this predicament. This is also very helpful to reframe the article. But personally, I'm not so sure of that entirely. And that's because he's outlining tip practices, a voluntary operation, while offering no real conclusion beyond his observations (which I agree are universal) besides "please tip more." I would have also liked (unfairly expected?) someone who said "I have pretty much been in politics my whole adult life" to filter through that lens - policy enablement of the situation.

From the end of the article:

"As for customers… You want to see Spider Man? You desperately want to bring your kids to Encanto or Sing 2? And you want your popcorn, food, and drinks? Cool. But if you don’t tip or act like an asshole, taking your personal anger and frustrations on workers who don’t deserve it, workers will not be there to serve you.

"Good old Adam Smith and his invisible hand of supply and demand works both ways, and the reason why you won’t get what you want will be staring right back in the mirror."

I agree with the author: don't be an a$$hol3 is a good life principle. I actually agree people should tip, too, for good service. What I don't agree with is that, as a legislator, you should craft policy and policy enforcement around the concept of goodwill. Goodwill is a societal outcome of policy, not a requirement of policy. Especially when wellbeing through wage earning is at stake.

Also, supply and demand does work both ways, as the author says. Will policy be able to keep up? Meaning, if demand for workers increases, we should see adjustments in wages. Yet the "rely on tipping, take a lower wage" policy remains with know conditions of the system (that people might not tip).

DNSSEC and DoH DNS over HTTPS serve completely different purposes. There isn't a choice to be made between them. DNSSEC sole purpose is to validate the integrity of DNS records. DoH DNS over HTTPS protects DNS requests and responses in flight but does nothing to validate that the DNS record returned was actually created by the domain owner.

The author of the article states they don't care about tracking of requests by their ISP, so they don't bother to implement in flight protection of DNS.
As an aside, the Flathub package is another incredible example of how much volunteer labor Zoom benefits from, but neither takes advantage of internally or passes along back to their users. I guess they would rather continue having to maintain iffy support for 7 distributions than make a Flatpak release official which would cover them all…and make updates automatic.

It is incredible that their all still companies which try to support specific Linux distributions. YOU SHALL NOT! And it was never an acceptable or useful practice. Release the source or at least the binaries and allow redistribution. But how? Put the necessary information into the usual README.txt (e.g. dependencies) and LICENSE.txt (e.g. copyright ACME, redistribution allowed). Thank you :)

In addition you can - but don't must - maintain a Flatpak for all distributions.

PS: Even Valve did that mistake and fixed it quickly - many years ago. Look at your ~/.steam you will find there a file which allows redistribution.
I'm in a different boat than OP so maybe I can also provide a different perspective. I have a half-dozen legacy free G Suite accounts that I set up way back in the day. One was sort of a "junk email" domain that I used for logins on sites I registered for to try out and whatnot. Another was for my main personal domain. Another was for a family domain. A couple others were projects that then got retired. Now I'm down to two personal Google Workspace accounts and I probably will pay for one of them, while closing the other.

But the biggest issue for me right now is the club I run, which has nearly 30 accounts on our Google Workspace domain. The only reason I did this, way back when, was because of the promise of "free forever."

While we have about 30 people on Google Workspace, we have another 70 or so "non-staff" members. Our entire group of about 100 fundraises for our website costs every year, which are considerable for an all-volunteer group ($2000-ish) because we have a pretty resource intensive MediaWiki installation, and other resources.

We've spent 10 years integrating with Google. All of our other resources use Google login. Our group has dozens of Google Groups used for sub-committees. We use Google Drive/Docs excessively. And so on.

But there's no way we can afford to DOUBLE our costs just for Google Workspace. And we can't get a non-profit discount because we're not a charitable organization – we're just a club of writers.

So for us, this is a huge nuisance because not only is Google breaking the agreement it made with us ("FREE FOREVER"), but I don't have the time or resources to manage this kind of transition to something else. And... what, even? If we had known from the beginning they'd break their promise of being free forever, I just wouldn't have built so much infrastructure on top of this system.

> Starlink is only a benefit for a small dwindling population of rural people in high income countries.

By the FCC’s estimates[0], there are 26 million people in the US alone, mostly in rural areas, who lack access to adequate high speed internet. I believe that exceeds what most would consider a small dwindling population by quite a large margin.

This number could potentially increase too, with the recent advent of full remote work. A fair number of people who live in urban areas do so only because they have to for employment and if they had the option would move somewhere less densely populated.

For [1] I would say that when the compiler does not control the standard library (e.g. most linux systems) then the compiler should treat qsort like any normal non-libc function call, it shouldn't be able to detect that I might be relying on implementation-specific guarantees. From a libc perspective, I would probably have a safe version of qsort used either on request or when NDEBUG is undefined, in which the implementation must either detect the inconsistency and abort in an implementation-defined matter, or select an ordering such that a<b in the ordering implies the existence of a finite chain a<x_1<x_2<...<x_n<b of comparison results in which each x_i is the equivalence class where the compare function said two entries were equal. I think that should be consistent with most sorting algorithms. (Whether the normal qsort should be the same as the safe version would only be needed if there were a significant-enough performance improvement.)

For [2] I disagree for two reasons. For one, merely having an answer at all, rather than entering an undefined behavior is valuable; having x+y=pseudorand(x,y) would still be better than complete UB because the damage that can be done is limited. The other reason is that addition/subtraction/multiplication does actually work modulo 2^n, so if I write e.g. (a+b-c) where b can be large but b-c is known to be small, it works even if the language is technically left-associative and having the a+b first is UB.

I pretty much agree with your point that the main problem is there is no way to work around UB; if there were a workaround there would be much less reason to complain. I would go a bit further and say such a workaround needs to be in the code itself to be effective, not merely a command line arg like fwrapv, so that it gets kept around when doing header inlining, LTO, copy-pasting code to other projects, etc.

Crypto exchanges are typically regulated as money transmitters (like PayPal, for instance), usually by state banking regulators. In New York a special "bitlicense" is required, which is issued by NY state banking regulators.

Among the differences between being a money transmitter and a being a bank include an obligation that 100% of client obligations be backed by cash-equivalent assets or surety bonds (as opposed to <20% fractional reserve required of banks). Money transmitters are not insured by the FDIC, so there is no federal-level prudential supervision. State regulation varies between completely hands-off (Montana, for instance, does not require licensing to operate in the state) and very strict (for instance in the case of New York).

That being said, with regards to anti-money laundering, all money transmitters are overseen at the federal level by FinCEN, and are subject to the Bank Secrecy Act with regards to all KYC and anti-money laundering requirements. Regardless as to the states in which they operate, they must register with FinCEN, and like banks must take proactive steps to detect and report suspicious activity to that entity.

In other words, there is no way for Binance to operate legally in the United States without being subject to the same strict anti-money-laundering rules and requirements that banks are subjected to.
