Page 9 of the PDF of the actual order (linked on the page under "SEC Order") explains how BlockFi made misleading claims:

> From March 2019 through August 2021, BlockFi misrepresented on its website that its institutional loans were “typically” over-collateralized, when in fact, most
institutional loans were not. Accordingly, although BlockFi made other disclosures on its website concerning its risk management practices, BIA investors did not have complete and accurate information with which to evaluate the risk that, in the event of defaults by BlockFi’s institutional borrowers, BlockFi would be unable to comply with its obligation to pay BIA investors the stated interest rates or return the loaned crypto assets to investors upon demand. This false and misleading statement was in the offer and sale of BIAs, and as such was in the offer and sale of securities.

Not a feedback on the app. But I clicked through the link on my mac (Monterey) and was pleasantly surprised I could install this iPhone app on my mac. Is this new? Can we install iPhone apps on mac now?
If you're arguing in good faith you should probably explicitly acknowledge that you recognize that you're using hacker news to argue that a website like hacker news shouldn't exist. Do you think that no one is paid to moderate this site? Do you think that no one has tried to spam illegal content here before?
Affordable housing alone will not solve this. We have to actually expand use of Kendra's Law. Homeless people in NYC that are mentally ill, using drugs, and engaging in criminal activity will not use any more additional resources provided to them. These are people that refuse help. Affordable housing would not solve for these people.
Almond farms have always been on groundwater or imported water. If you see a dry orchard, it is because the water price went up, their contract was voided, or both.
> I am simply in awe that so many of the same people that were viciously against BLM protests are supporters of this protest

Where do you think that hypocrisy comes from? I'm across the pond so very far from the action, but I'm very curious how people reason about this.
If you wanna bring up race, the US and CA black populations have lower rates of vaccination. The truckers want mandates withdrawn. Regardless of their intentions, they're doing a public good which will lend itself to the black population.
I don't think the answer is to totally discard smartphones. Only use the features you want. For privacy/security use a non-Android Linux-based phone.
> An Ipsos poll published Thursday and conducted exclusively for Global News showed that nearly 46 per cent of Canadians say they “may not agree with everything” the trucker convoy says or does, but the frustration of protesters is “legitimate and worthy” of sympathy.

I don't think your statement is at odds with gp's. A legitimate concern doesn't make it popular.

However, the greater issue is a lack of organization and so nothing (very little) is going to get done (much like with BLM).
True, but its much harder to dox this number of people if all you have is a big list of Bitcoin addresses. It requires significantly more work, plus it's also harder to stop the disbursement of funds like what happened with the Canadian government freezing bank accounts and transactions with this campaign.
Both the words "our government" (i.e. the current canadian government), and "that" are doing work. Neither examples of random governments committing significant crimes, nor of the Canadian government committing less significantly corrupt crimes, contradict the premise.
Your (unstated) goal is to rebuild trust and rebrand yourself. If I were you, I would start a small pentesting business. It's not trivial and isn't for everyone, but it would be the easiest (IMHO) path to that goal. There are thousands of books on how to begin that journey. Kevin Mitnick took this path.

I've always been frustrated that active record ORMs have completely overtaken tools like Linq2Sql.

I don't deny the value of the active record pattern where it works, but in almost every case I've used SQL over the past 5 years, I don't want a complex abstraction layer. I just want something to make it easy and safe to talk to the database for the 90% of straight forward queries we write.

With something like that, I feel as though I'd rather write my own active record system than use the configuration based systems we see with EF

BLM protestors were routinely arrested, beaten and teargassed on live TV for everyone to watch.

Donating directly to a mob causing havoc thousands of miles away from you because you're annoyed that your coworkers did the same is why this country and frankly the western world is so entirely broken. This is a wonderful example of the politics of spite in action. Making the world a better place has gone out the window, it's simply about making the world a worse place for people you don't like

Harassing people wearing masks and minding their own business and stealing from foodbanks because restaurants refuse to serve protestors isn't exactly peaceful.

USA is probably the only country in the world where you can still buy a cellphone/smartphone with a working number somewhat anonymously. Walk into any convenience store/gas station and buy a cheap phone with a prepaid plan and pay cash. In most other countries they are required to verify and scan some official ID first.
This is more of an Intel problem than anything. For the longest time Intel has been increasing throttling instead of improving efficiency. Now that AMD and Apple have brought competition, and thanks to TSCM, upcoming Intel designs are starting to look more efficient, but Intel laptops from between 2015-2020 are mostly garbage if you're doing anything realtime in a warm environment.
It isn't a matter of being forbidden to work in an industry, but rather that some companies may be forbidden to employ you (and even then, the restrictions may only be for certain roles).

Let's ignore the computer/security aspects of this particular situation, and come up with other examples.

If you are convicted of a financial crime, for example, you are not barred from working as an accountant. You can even get a license and work as a CPA.

But some companies may not be able to employ you as an accountant due to your conviction.

And, it is worth noting, you can certainly lose your license if you commit a relevant crime after getting your license (or for failing to report some other felony to the licensing board).

All the above varies considerably in the details between countries, and in the US between states (eg. in some states a conviction for a felony requires a hearing before the certification board before being allowed to take the relevant exam, and the board may not decide in your favor).

Circling back to computers and security, the situation is much more forgiving since there is no relevant licensing barrier; nevertheless, some companies may be restricted from employing people convicted of certain categories of crimes in particular functions: think of having access to a bank's or credit company's customer information and accounts, or a health provider's patient data. But even organizations that are subject to such restrictions have plenty of roles (potentially even security roles) that aren't affected by these restrictions (except by their own internal policies, anyway).
"we not only lose outdated and misguided opinions"

Those are some of the most valuable opinions to share. It's not great that people have such opinions, but to the extent that people do, it's much better to discuss them than suppress them.

And they need to be discussed in long form with subtlety and nuance, and free from judgement of the people that hold them.

If we suppress racist ideas, it doesn't mean everyone magically learned the real lessons. Even if racism becomes such a taboo that nobody ever engages in it again, if the real lessons aren't learned, it will manifest again. The definitions of race and racism will change, or it will take an unfamiliar form that we don't recognize because we don't truly understand it.

The solution is to keep an open dialogue with people who are sincerely trying to be good. And even with personalities that are insincere, but have sincere (misguided) followers. Or even people who are insincere at times but open up to discussion later.

Sure, at some point we have to say "this person is crazy and we don't have the time", but we shouldn't actively try to prevent others from hearing them.

I reject the notion that free speech is some kind of compromise where we allow bad ideas to be discussed only so we don't miss good ideas. No, we let bad ideas be discussed because it's good to discuss bad ideas.
> 22. BlockFi made a material misrepresentation to BIA investors concerning the level of
risk in its loan portfolio. Beginning at the time of the BIA launch on March 4, 2019 and
continuing to August 31, 2021, BlockFi made a statement in multiple website posts that its
institutional loans were “typically” over-collateralized, when in fact, most institutional loans were
not. When BlockFi began offering the BIA investment, it intended to require over-collateralization
on a majority of its loans to institutional investors, but it quickly became apparent that large
institutional investors were frequently not willing to post large amounts of collateral to secure their
loans. Approximately 24% of institutional crypto asset loans made in 2019 were overcollateralized; in 2020 approximately 16% were over-collateralized; and in 2021 (through June 30,
2021) approximately 17% were over-collateralized. As a result, BlockFi’s statement materially
overstated the degree to which it secured protection from defaults by institutional borrowers
through collateral. Through operational oversight, BlockFi’s personnel failed to take steps to
update the website statement to accurately reflect the fact that most institutional loans were not
over-collateralized

> Yes there are serious problems with smartphones.

And they become more serious over time, as we've moved more and more of society and interaction onto them...

> And smartphones are here to stay.

I don't think this is at all a given, though. If more people start rejecting them in favor of something simpler, with less permissions, that's closer to a legacy communication device, it allows others to consider that, yes, you might be able to get away without one. Or with a less capable one.

> So how do we fix these issues?

Stop using a smartphone in your personal life, and be at least a slightly vocal "that person," because a lot of other people I've talked to don't like smartphones either for a wide range of options - but don't consider there to be any alternatives. So when I can show off a device that still lets me do voice/text, can check email if I care, has basic mapping, and... not an awful lot else, it's an option that most people quite literally didn't know existed.

For more details about the alternatives and what they can/can't do, I've written up some of my thoughts over the last few months of using a KaiOS device here: https://www.sevarg.net/2022/01/22/kaios-bananaphone-flip-iv-...
Tell HN: Monterey has completely broken both of my USB hubs

I guess I will have to go to the apple store and see if I can find something else.

I talked to CalDigit support and they confirmed Monterey is affecting their whole product line.

Travel backwards in time. Get the oldest smartphone you can. Then next year, get an even older smartphone, then go back to a flip-phone, then regress into a candy-bar phone, every time a device manufactured earlier and earlier, with fewer features, fewer chips, fewer peripherals (cameras and mics), less bandwidth. Removable battery. Memory just for the numbers of your contacts.

Same here. I find that FBVs are more explicit and easier to deal with. That's why it's easier to onboard junior devs in a project built with FBVs.

Many people say that CBVs is Django on Rails but Rails doesn't use multiple inheritance or complicated MRO.
Now you are pushing it.
Well it's current state also. VB is gone, Delphi survived. Green threads and a different error mechanism besides exceptions would have encouraged more attention to server dev.
Great website! I will take a closer look later. To answer your questions:

1. Do you actively select smaller companies...?
No, size does not matter.

2. Do you find companies' size and funding information useful...?
All info is useful, but I wouldn't consider this absolutely essential.

3. ...do you find 250+ employee companies too big?
No.

4. Would you sign up for a weekly newsletter...
Hell no. Sorry.

5. Would salary range be useful...?
Definitely.
It's hidden behind the 'live' button top left. Viewers buy emoji with real money and send them to creators, creators get money, and Bytedance takes a cut. Creators do all sorts of things, some show them working, at a farm, at a shipping warehouse, whatever. Others play bingo or scratch-off tickets. Still others sit and talk or play music with their viewers. Sending an emoji is highlighted and so are easier for creators to acknowledge the emoji/give a shout out to that particular username. Thing is, creators only sometimes shout out, encouraging multi-arm bandit behavior on the part of the viewer.

I just buy captcha solvers in india or use a bypass like the Recaptcha Text to Speech challenge that regulary gets abused by extensions like Buster. (Yes, you can use google speech to text to solve the text to speech captchas.)

Captchas don't really work, the only things they do is let google track more people and annoy humans. You let your users train their AI for little to no protection agains a willing attacker. I'll admit captchas protect against many scriptkiddies that buy passwords. I'd rather teach my users to use a password manager or support passwordless login than let them click on cars for "security".

Germany handles that with their apprentice programs. But for a SWE, I think having gone through the class in a limited amount of time and forced to take an exam at the end, that can be reassuring to some people. Anyways, it still beats the American system, IMHO.

They are pretty old though and just barely fast enough. Last year I ordered a Precision 3630 to test out as an upgrade. I was so disappointed by the engineering and build quality I requested a return the day it arrived.

Writes to arbitrary MSR are still allowed by linux, but it'll squawk a warning with the PID from what poked the MSR. What has been preventing writing to MSR is microcode updates (loaded via Linux via initram/firmware, or via the vendor in a BIOS update), such as the one(s) in response to plundervolt https://plundervolt.com/
Writing to the plundervolt-related MSR was particularly helpful to undervolt a thermal-throttled laptop. So! Can either downgrade the BIOS and/or rollback the microcode that your distro is loading during boot.
A lot of the replies to my comment about sustainability of sidewalks have been either “bullshit, just look at the roads” or “we did this to ourselves”.

I am not making a judgement about the desirability of sidewalks. Indeed I said that more would be nice.

To the latter criticism, I say, yes, we did, but it doesn’t change where we are.

To the former, I say that government monopoly on infrastructure (which means that taxes pay maintenance) combined with sprawl have led us in the US to a place where literally in many places the money does not exist to maintain the infrastructure that was already built, much less build new infrastructure.

There are lots of essays on this; here’s one: https://fee.org/articles/the-unbearable-truth-about-infrastr...
Yep. Almost all old code bases are like this. Complexity inevitably grows over time, and old code lingers. People leave, and knowledge often fails to transfer. This is why developers prefer to work on new things: it's more fun to make the mess than to clean it up. Plus nobody wants to pay only for "maintenance"... you have to work it into other projects, which is often easier said than done.

This is very important I learnt this weekend. Not to be glossed over.

Trudeau himself attacked the convoy as fringe minority, racists, sexists, and white supremacists. The 'government accredited' media was very fast to show the nazi flag and confederate flags. Conveniently very expensive professional camera gear right there to take pictures.

Yet the real media went around showing that the group is pretty diverse. https://notthebee.com/article/come-and-laugh-with-me-at-the-...

So what gives? Well what happened? Antivaxxers are unemployed? But who are the antivaxxers? ~50% of black canadians are unwilling to get vaccinated. ~25% of arabic and indian canadians are unwilling. When the average is ~85%. It means whites are above 85%. I didn't know this.

It means Trudeau and the 'government accredited' media who rushed out this narrative that they are white supremacists in fact knew they were disproportionally harming not-whites. That to label this convoy as white supremacist might discourage not-whites from joining. This 1 nazi flag has to be a journalist because the convoy is certainly not white supremacist.

At what point does the 'government accredited' media who pushed this white supremacist narrative get labelled government propaganda?
I haven't heard anything good about Dell for at least the last 15 years. How come this company is still a thing? Even in the enterprise sector, at least from what I catch up here and there (mainly Germany), no one is contracting Dell anymore. I wouldn't say HP is any better, but it's a bit less ridiculous in most aspects at least.

1. I'm not sure how you got the impression that I implied china was located in the americans. My comment was specifically worded to not imply that.

2. Does america's influence on the world not exist? Why does your original claim of "Americans have imposed their views on both sides of this internal conflict is both patronizing and deleterious to the self-determination of the Canadian people" only apply if it's on the same continent? Is it better to impose your views on people half way across the world?

I feel seen with this comment and I'm glad I'm not the only one that has been feeling this way.

I'm about to start a new position that uses C#/.NET and seems like a technically mature/sophisticated organization. Finding this position was hard though.

If that fell through, I was thinking of ways I could try to switch tech stacks. As you stated, the types of companies that gravitate towards .NET are not the types of companies I want to work for anymore.

Not to mention, after talking to several recruiters, it seems like salary for .NET devs are much lower than counterparts in other languages. I'm probably at the top of what I can expect to make as a senior engineer in .NET. I spoke to a few recruiters who recruit for other stacks and my salary is what senior devs typically start at for those organizations.

I know of at least one additional American chestnut tree not listed in this article, in Oak Glen, CA. I was apple picking there and met a wonderful old man from Brittany who made a pilgrimage there every year to pick chestnuts for traditional dishes. It was sad to hear from him that in his youth chestnuts grew in abundance, but today they are few and far between.

The chestnuts themselves are tasty and very fun to gather, with their interesting and spiky seed pods.
