> China's faults are the same we have, out of control capitalism causing social harm, workers abuse, and violating customers.

China also has an unelected government with a dictator for life that arrests people for exercising free speech, commits genocide, threatens its neighbors, etc. It's not the same, though the CCP loves to say it is! Yes, there are flaws in the US, but that doesn't make it the same!

"corrected"?!
> Congrats on the launch! What are the main benefits of this approach compared to creating additional combo (multi-leg) products on existing exchanges?

Thanks! There are two main differences. For one, combos are (as the name suggests) predefined. That works reasonably well for products like futures and options where the 80/20 approach of making combos for somewhat structural ones like different expiries in the crude and eurodollar complex or packs and bundles designed as standalone financial instruments/hedges. An implied generational liquidity mechanism can knock out some basic structural price arbs between combos, resulting in a combinatorial auction approximation.

This approach falls apart when the combinations are very general as they are in the markets for equities, credit, and many of the assets that trade in the screens.

The CLOB/predefined bundle approach also doesn't address substitutability and non-price factors, and dealing with those is key to unlocking Pareto efficiencies.

> There are already a lot of mechanisms in traditional markets that deal with revealing or concealing true demand (e.g. block trades, icebergs, etc)

The problem with block trading venues and other approaches, e.g., conditionals, boils down to incentives. Initiators of block trades are usually going in the same direction, so opportunities for direct interaction/coincidence of wants are rare. And market makers don't want to take large deltas unless they can hedge and/or know the counterparty. The net effect is not much size getting done. Conditionals are a similar story to blocks. They don't have the opportunity cost that a firm block resting on a venue does, but there's information leakage, and the surface area for interaction is still small. Market makers aren't incentivized to provide liquidity, and directional traders are worried about/behave strategically due to concerns over information leakage.

> what's to stop exchanges from (1) creating more common bundles that people want to trade

I'd say that the market has already done this in the form of ETFs and index products and an entire ecosystem of ETF market making emerged around it.

> (2) matching them with price-time priority so everyone gets a fair price? Wouldn't the auction model just create wider or locked/crossed markets?

I'm not sure that I follow this part entirely. The uniform price combinatorial auction that we're running results in everyone getting the same price on a symbol-by-symbol basis. And, we view time priority as a bad thing (the arms race dynamic of time priority was known to practitioners since markets first started going electronic but Budish et al. were the first to write about it in detail). Periodic auctions have better fairness and post-trade mark outs theoretically and in practice. Some of the European venues where batch auctions have made limited inroads demonstrated this.
This article is good.

Telegram is really weird and sketchy; the rants Durov posts on his channel against WhatsApp usually make no sense; and their claims of security are dubious. And TON was a disaster.

On the other hand. If I did any social organizing today, I would definitely use Telegram. Signal is fine, but nobody is using it and the UX is just worse. I don't trust Facebook to randomly not shut everything down because some outsourced content moderator in New Delhi had a bad sleep.

Durov might be sketchy and weird libertarian, but damn, his developers can deliver good and working product really fast. (And from what I understand, it's a really small team.) Credit where it's due.

I still think Telegram will plainly run out of money in a few years (you can use it to host unlimited amount of data and share it with unlimited number of people!! that is not sustainable), but well, I will use them before they do.

> Looking at you, Borderlands 3

I must not have hit this yet - my girlfriend and I recently started playing through after finding it cheap on Greenmangaming, and it plays fine. Neither of us have super powerful PCs, just 6600XTs, but the level of bugginess (such as the game jumping to default monitor every so often) is about what I would expect for Windows too given how complicated modern games are.
I don't follow. The state recognizes I own something, therefore the state power has been expanded? I'd argue the opposite. Virtually everything else I own, the state doesn't really recognize is fully mine, but rather they think they own a piece of the profits on. Currently the state thinks they own part of others' crypto (tax on profits payable in fiat only though!), so to relinquish that ownership is a step up. The state legitimation of crypto as being owned by me means they've ceded power of private property to private entities, rather than it being public or unrecognized property. Since the state recognizes it's all mine, I don't owe the government any of it and as full owner I can unmolested exercise control of my private property without interference by government.

When the government steps in, it's not usually to say _you_ own it but rather _they_ own part of it. If you own it of course you owe them nothing of it. Government finally getting their greedy hands out of private property would be a huge step up.

This is even more obvious when I present it this way. Yesterday there's a cow in my yard. The next day my neighbor says he recognizes the cow as my cow. The neighbor has ceded over power of the cow, now recognizing I have full control of the cow and they're removing any claim of power they had. It's a contraction or break even of, not expansion, of my neighbor's power.

Ownership means you have full control over your crypto. Paying taxes on it means you don't have ownership, but rather partial ownership. If the state is conferring you full ownership, it would appear their power is decreasing. If the state is taxing crypto, then they're taking away ownership status and instead attributing some of it to themselves -- THEN it's an expansion of power.
Is it possible to put thousands of satellites in LOE so you play Counterstrike in a corn field? I know what people would have said 10 years ago.
I think the argument for Teams falls apart when Slack, not IRC, is factored into the equation. The only argument that is justifiable for Teams is if you're on O365 is slots into your organization easily, outside of that Teams is pretty bad. It's main selling point seems to be "you already have it". It's as if MS execs pointed at Slack and said "engineers make us that" and gave them a weekend to do it. The UX on Slack is almost unusable. It's some of what Slack does but with about 5 more clicks needed per operation, assuming you can even do the operation.
> Whether through string literals, conversion from other types (e.g., numeric to string), restrictions on identifiers, specification for file formats, company-policy on language for source files, conversion from strings with an ASCII charset, etc., you very often can be certain about the contents of that string.

With the exception of conversion from numbers (which has its own optimizations that are likely equally applicable in UTF8 since Arabic numbers are just ASCII anyway), I’d say all of your examples sound like bugs waiting to happen.

Why shouldn’t string literals be allowed to contain complex emoji? Why should identifiers disallow them? Why should there be a company policy around putting complex emoji places?

Just saying “let’s just declare things such that strings aren’t allowed to have multi-code point grapheme clusters” sounds great until you accidentally let that assumption leak into a place where a user wants to use an emoji and can’t make it match their skin tone.

I’d also say that such restrictions are putting the cart before the horse; the typical reasons for restricting the allowed character set, are precisely because you want to make lazy assumptions about things like string offsets. Saying that such assumptions are a good thing because you have these restrictions in place, seems like circular logic to me.

Digital over-the-air TV works similarly to analog over-the-air, but it's slower to change channels because the TV has to wait for a frame that isn't a delta from a previous frame to display a coherent image. That's just sort of par for the course with modern digital compression, you could increase the number of such frames but then the compression gets less effective and you'd still have more of a delay than with analog.
One checked bag should be included (at this point most everyone knows how to tag and check their own bag, staff is only needed to help the few people who can't do that - think elderly, disabled, or at rural airports with people who don't fly often).

And small carry-ons (small enough to fit under seat, even if actually placed overhead) should be included.

Large carry-ons, that can't fit under a seat, should be an extra. They slow down everyone else, including the crew.
I feel like the invisible degradation of responsiveness in TV and radio is an un-noticed contributor to their decline. Most of the time I don't bother even scannig the airwaves when I get to a new town cause it's too annoying.

While I usually don't bother scanning for new stations when I go to a new town, that's because I'm listening to music (or podcasts) with my phone. I don't even listen to broadcast radio in my home town.

About the only time I listen to broadcast radio is in a rental car and that's only because I don't bother pairing my phone with the car unless I'm going to be in it for a few days (and I always unpair and/or reset the pairing settings when I return it).
Ask HN: Does Anyone else working in a crypto company feel this is all a scam?
I'm working in a Cryptocurrency startup, and all my colleagues are investing heavily into the domain, both mentally and monetarily. I cannot shake off the feeling that this is all a scam. It's so shady, from the way there are new coins and tokens every week, and how investors are throwing money into this program. I don't think my company's product deserves the sort of money it's been getting, and it feels like a bubble that will burst, sooner if not later. Some part of the tech is interesting, the essence of the blockchain, for example, but the main application seems to be just suspicious. What do others in the domain think? I'm not leaving yet because I'm not in a place to change jobs yet again, but I will, eventually, but I feel like this domain is very fishy.
They likely have proper cooperation without being public about it, like how tech companies engage with Law Enforcement.

It’s just bad code and even worse error handling. The program runs a heartbeat that lets the rest of the car know all is well when things are running smoothly. When the program hangs, the heartbeat stops. When the heartbeat is interrupted for long enough, it’s programmed to reboot. With that in mind, when the owner queues up the podcast the system attempts to decode an unsanitized string (the podcast title) as if it were percent/URL encoded. When it encounters an error because “% I” is not a valid character reference, it hangs.

The worst part is that the car owner was told that a firmware update would “likely” fix it but they would have to pay for it.

> We know from the Snowden revalations that their technical capability in 2008 (he only exposed info on things that were already old, his intent was to show illegal surveillance not capability remember) was such that they had some kind of access to every conceivable device on the planet and the majority of communication that went through the US.

We know they had access to every centralised provider's servers (including Google and any other company you care to name). We also know that they couldn't break post-DES cryptosystems when properly used - indeed NSA employees expressed considerable frustration about the fact that they couldn't break PGP-encrypted emails or chats and had to resort to metadata analysis, social engineering, hacking individual users and so on.

> 1) Telegram is weak, NSA has access

> 2) Telegram is strong, NSA does not have acces

It's not a binary. Most attacks on cryptosystems reduce the amount of work it takes to break in rather than making it completely free. And even if the NSA theoretically has access, that doesn't mean they can predict an attack or will share that data with every contry/agency/company. We know the NSA was reading all unencrypted emails up until at least 2012 or so, yet there was plenty of crime committed and discussed over email during that period.

(I'm no fan of Signal or the way it's marketed, quite the opposite, but I trust Telegram far less)

As a software engineer, one the reasons I like to write tests is because it forces me to think about everything that could go wrong.

Once I write tests for all the things that could go wrong and verify the correct behavior, I feel a lot better than if I only test the happy path (when everything goes right).

I wish software developers would take more time to think about how things could go wrong.

I think the Ukraine crisis is an attempt to get the oil price back up to pre covid19 price levels because its still too low, even Putin needs oil at $50/barrel + inflation since mid 00's when that figure was banded about.

I think it can become a self fulfilling prophecy, recessions dont stop people spending, you all need to eat/sleep but if the fear gets a grip, do more selling, go where there is no recession which could be abroad or across country, find out what companies profit massively and target their customers. Stock markets are good places to look for the most profitable.

There is plenty of money out there for everyone, its just not in your pocket!

To offset fear with customers, offer fixed term contracts, banks love contracts on paper like that, it helps for taking on more debt and if the inevitable occurs just make sure you go out with a massive bang where the banks have no chance of recovering the money.

Also worth diversifying, any new business or income streams can always be sold off in the future, pay attention to the news, demographics, find out where the money is. Alot of boomers have assets, younger generations dont, cater for the needs of those with money.

I dont think I've missed anything?

By the way, regarding the littering - I've been doing something I call "distributed composting." For example, if I eat an apple outside of my home, I just throw the remains somewhere it won't be an eyesore, but where it will decompose in no time or better yet - feed some animals or insects. But if a city employees catches me throwing "the litter" into the bushes, they will give me a fine for "littering".

"The sky is blue". Ok, we pretty well agree on that. But do I perceive "blue" in the same way that you do? We'll never know.

Regardless, people are not using the term "misinformation" in that way. They are using it for phenomena we cannot all readily observe for ourselves, and for which there is a claimed, but not actual consensus.

800 years ago it was "misinformation" to claim that the Earth orbited the Sun. Today it is "misinformation" to claim that germ theory is incorrect or that vaccines are not always "safe".

But the people using and spreading the "misinformation" meme are human and have imperfect knowledge just like everyone else. Indeed, they seem closed-minded and intolerant of others' opinions. For me, if a person uses that term, it is a clear signal that the person is wedded to a particular worldview and it is pointless to even engage them in conversation on the topic in question.
The majority of the population now have vaccine and natural Immunity. Seems like the prudent thing to do.

OP didn't say this, but it's probably more that Teams rarely stands alone.

If they're using Teams then surely they are also using office365 and exchange & outlook and you probably are forced to use a MS account and a laptop running Windows and must use Outlook.

If they used Teams, but you didn't actually have to spend all day on Teams, and everything else was fine, you could work on your own linux machine and use thunderbird for email, and you just had to fire up the linux Teams occasionally, then that should be fine.

But if you have to be logged in all day, even if everything else is good, then it's effectively a large part of your life and you should seek to identify such things rather than just suffer them.
