HMRC seizes NFTs for first time amid fraud inquiry
Moved to Austin during the pandemic, and my experience has been the same. It feels very dangerous to walk or bike anywhere, even in residential areas, because of the aggressive drivers. Even when I’m driving, the pervasive road rage here is much worse than anywhere else I’ve lived (including 3 other major cities). It’s been a real disappointment.
As it stands, Chicago has police cars all over the place (in every neighborhood I’ve lived in anyway) often just sitting there parked and by my estimation there’s close to zero traffic enforcement, so we certainly seem to have a lot of capacity for maintaining this sort of enforcement and I suspect it would be like introducing a few wolves into a national park—it doesn’t take much enforcement to drive significant, broad changes.

> A systemic problem like this is a result of poor road design, not individual deviant drivers.

In many cases, I agree that there is a systemic problem at play, but these cases tend to be highways (i.e., no pedestrians) and the issue is politicians setting speed limits which traffic engineers understand to be unsafely low for the road’s design (the safest speed being that which 85% of drivers would naturally drive if unencumbered). And it hardly matters how engineers design the road because politicians will always respond to a vocal minority who argue that the limits should be lower.

However with respect to streets (i.e., places where pedestrians belong) rather than highways, the issue is only systemic with respect to enforcement—many other parts of the country (or even the same places with different enforcement) have similar streets but drivers are better behaved. Which isn’t to say that there isn’t room for improvement everywhere, but only that the issue isn’t “Chicago has stupid street engineers”.

Sure. In the same way that "full-stack" is misleading. I secretly think that people who describe themselves as being "full-stack developers" have no idea how deep the stack truly is. But it's still a useful description, and it's less of a mouthful than saying "I know html/css/js and also know about Java and some kind of RDBMS". It is a lot less precise, but still useful.

Your username suggests a certain age, perhaps we're both just too old and cynical to be on board with new, silly names ;-)
> The best way to counter wildly incorrect beliefs is to expose them to the light of open discourse-

Well.. sort of. This is true if you're dealing with an honest debate partner. It's not true if you're dealing with an opponent that is a psy-ops operator of some kind or a 4chan troll army.

False beliefs are literally infinite. They are fractal. Debunking also takes more effort than to invent a new idiotic position.

This is an asymmetrical war. We want to limit the asymmetry so it becomes closer to symmetrical between wrong things and right things. This is a hard problem, but letting bots run rampant surely isn't helping. "The solution to bad speech is more speech" is a nice slogan, but it doesn't really make logical sense. The solution to confusion isn't more confusion. The solution to lying isn't more lying.

How to write untestable code (2008)

Thank you for that link. Colour me impressed with both the work that goes into the making of the ice and the level of detail shared.
This is the closest thing to a 3D version of classic Sonic gameplay I've ever seen. The 3D games (starting on the Dreamcast) might as well be an unrelated series to the Mega Drive originals.

It plays surprisingly well, would have been amazing to have had a game like this in the Saturn days. There's a fan made tech demo called Sonic Z-Treme (a reimagining of the unreleased Sonic X-Treme) which shows how well the Saturn hardware can handle a Sonic style game.

Would be love to see the awesome level design of Robo Blast 2 on that engine.
Anybody making money off of phone apps should not be trusted, they can and still take every piece of data they can to figure out how to monetize it. I want and need phone app security to protect me from the companies that want me as a product to be sold.
> It's not Amazon, the whole modern society works like this.

Don't let Amazon off the hook like this.
Yeah kind of. Except market makers can pull liquidity in a microsecond and have higher privileges on many exchanges that retail investors investing through brokers do not.

The best measure if pricing in my view is "what average price would I get or slippage would I see if I sold X shares right now?"
I sold brainery.com to a college student in like 2009 for $100. It was very straightforward. He called me up and I agreed. Then he sent the money and I transferred the domain.

I forget the details of how the exchange happened, though. I assume we used some third party escrow service, but I’m not sure which. Maybe we didn’t.

> That's a good outcome but Sega can change their stance at any moment

They could. But they've already had a long history of not doing that. So while the risk is there, it is definitely less risky than doing it with (for example) Nintendo IP.

And to be honest I don't consider "Sega might change their minds" as a good enough reason not to do something. Intellectual property laws are already broken enough without suggesting people shouldn't engage with assets from the few companies that are more generous to their fans, just in case those companies change their mind. That feels like a senseless loss to me.

> And they still have to like the game to let you publish it.

While they are releasing the source, assets and some precompiled binaries for free, I don't think it's fair to say it's being "published" because generally when that term is used with regards to gaming it means something a lot different to releasing a project on GitLab.

Semantics aside there's always going to be risk with a fan projects. However suggesting they release with original assets misses the point of these projects. They're exist because of the parent project not in spite of it. Sure they could release an original game with the same mechanics but different assets, however the point of this is a re-imagining of Sonic...specifically Sonic. Releasing this with original assets would undermine the point that this is intended to be a Sonic game (albeit an unofficial one).

It's a little like asking a Queen tribute act to play original music. The point that band was formed was to cover Queen's music. I do understand that music royalties solves this problem, somewhat, so the analogy isn't water tight. But I hope you understand the sentiment behind it.

To go back to the StarFox example you gave in your original post, the aim of that project was to publish a commercial game rather than something for fan service. So the aims are different between that and this Sonic game (and this is also why I made the distinction about this Sonic game not being "published" even though technically speak it is).

Here in the UK they have just changed the Highway Code (the rules that given all road users, including pedestrians) so that pedestrians have ultimate right of way in almost all cases. It’s the opposite of the situation in the US, a pedestrian in the UK can cross the road anywhere and I believe cars have to stop and make way.

It’s going to be interesting to see how it effects accident numbers, I’m worry it may actually make accident numbers go up.

The Post Office Ltd. retail business wasn't privatised, it was split from the rest of Royal Mail Group during the privatisation process. I'd assume the potential liabilities from Horizon are part of the reason it was retained, beyond the fact the Post Office retail business is generally loss making.
>Separately, it would be nice if we had more sidewalks, but they are financially unsustainable in low density areas.

Doesn't this actually imply that it's the low density that is financially unsustainable, rather than the sidewalks? I mean if your settlement pattern can't even afford a place for people to walk, what the hell are you doing?
I would add:

* Throw useless errors on getter or has methods!

I recently gave up on using MapboxGL.js because of this.
Here is the weth contract code: https://etherscan.io/address/0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead...

And here is an auto-generated interface for it: https://etherscan.io/token/0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead90...

You can see that the code is very short and simple, and there are no special admin functions at all, nothing implementing the sort of whitelisting required to allow KYC. (The Approve function is a standard token function, used by token holders to permit contracts to spend out of their account, up to a specified amount.)

It was very cheap for someone to build and deploy this, and to use it you only pay gas fees. If there were someone checking KYC for every new user, then they would have to charge user fees, and there'd probably be delays getting started. Someone else would deploy the simple version and people would use that instead.
Sums up the last two years of employment prior to my 'job elimination'. The company was acquired by a VC who brought in a new CIO. Everything was the cloud, webservices, etc. I contended that a stable application with 99%+ uptime, a team of six developers, and peak concurrent users of less than 10K was not an optimal candidate for webservices. We had had the application load tested by a very reputable firm and they asserted the platform could sustain nearly a million concurrent users. Given the nature of the business, even a 100 million customers would not lead to that level of concurrency. Typically, our concurrent users peaked at 0.3% of our customer base. So I have been comfortably retired for the last two years. And the company? Well, they 'deprecated' the application and leased a 3rd party solution that had all the right buzz words on their marketing material. So it goes.
If you're charging 200k, you're not an employee. Contractors are a different breed entirely, with their own woes and vagaries.

I ran an odroids ( https://www.hardkernel.com/ ) as my home server some years back. It worked nicely for what it was, but in the end the lack of good storage options (I ended up attaching USB harddrives) was what doomed it. For what it's worth, a RasPi is exactly what you're describing, minus the screen/keyboard (but with much better cooling, which is what would be the bottleneck otherwise).
I'm all for cycling, but as a former bike messenger this take feels a bit extreme. The obesity crisis is real and people should get out and be more active.

No matter how many concessions are made, most people are just unable to get over the lack of inertia and start cycling. Even if we allow for a hypothetical safety utopia, comments here will cite sweating as a deal breaker.

I understand and empathize with beginners who are not acclimatized to cycling on a busy road. However it doesn't change the fact that you have to start somewhere and build your comfort levels. Pragmatically, this is the more important self-fulfilling dynamic. If you don't start building your skills and instead blame drivers...

There are hostile drivers out there. After decades of riding (sometimes wildly irresponsibly) I can only count on one hand motorists who were actively trying to run me over. In those cases the sentiment was mutual and we had already exchanged words or otherwise escalated. Would have been easy to avoid. Contrast this to the cultural/class rhetoric against pickup-truck drivers.

As a self-appointed expert in the domain, this doesn't ring true for me. It fits better with the theme of Internet hyperbole and media alarmism.
.NET Core is where it is now, and the UI story is (as always) evolving FAST. Make sure to build a good separation between back- and frontend, and be ready to switch

If you are lucky and you are making not-very-complex UIs, you can make a thin wrapper using some of the "newer" frameworks. If you make heavy/classic UI's you will probably have to go for WPF or a Third party framework instead.
If you want to actively MITM it, sure. If you just want to send a copy of everything to the USA, then it needn't slow down the original connection at all.
Cuts both ways, in my opinion.

Institutional portfolios have access to more opportunities and talent than retail investors.
I did not see this data placed alongside the number of traffic fatalities. Our intuition is that the new work-from-home/social-distance world leads to fewer cars on the road. Fewer cars mean higher speeds and possibly, less attentive drivers given the empty lanes. Increased pedestrian fatalities would align with this simple explanation.

A little searching suggests that in the latter quarters of 2021, traffic fatalities fell (https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/traffic-fatalities-esti....)

Before we jump to the explanation of angrier drivers (harder to verify or disprove), can we explore the simpler possibility?
I agree, it's ok to change the Highway Code but the infrastructure also needs to change to reflect it.

A contradiction leads to uncertainity, which leads to accidents
A closer analogy would be renting a car. And if you rent a car full-time, you can't really call yourself car-less.

In both cases there is a lot of grey areas, but the general concept is the same: If you don't own, maintain or operate (drive) a server/car, you can call yourself server/car-less, regardless of whether a server or car is still being used.
An eerily similar debacle in Australia was the Robodebt scheme [1]. Hundreds of thousands of people were issued debt notices for apparent overpayment of unemployment benefits, based on fundamentally incorrect assumptions when calculating peoples income.

The system was such a failure that the government ended up wiping all the debts incurred under the scheme, and refunding those who had made repayments.

This seems to be a joke, but I was expecting it might be serious, because (AIUI) the Go compiler is derived from the Plan 9 C compiler. Of course, that was probably not started in 1972, but it does mean Go's source code is older than the language itself.

The old ways also hinged on people actually meeting up, on criminal enterprises producing a legible paper trail. Seizing encrypted hardware or intercepting encrypted traffic just doesn't work.

We also mustn't forget that an integral part of old fashioned policework is just grabbing some random homeless person found in the area and beating them with a nightstick until they admit to the crime.
The parts about accessibility, data portability, and alternative interfaces are very relevant: protocols instead of software, open standards.

Organic discovery of links is often quite ideologically and teleologically relevant, in terms of the people and minds that connect.

It’s somewhat ironic that web forums such as HN are actually how we discover human filtered links.
You realise there are proprietary trading firms with algorithms making billions of $ every year just trading stocks at high frequency, right?

If anything they actively avoid trading against themselves and seek out opportunities in markets where retail investment is still at high participation.
>Technology seems like a giant waste of time and energy for human civilisation.

Im not sure about this emotional vampire factor.

>They are making society worse not better. For a time maybe 15-20 years ago, maybe peaking around the era of Snowden it looked like technology was going to truly democratise the world.

Good luck fixing it though. Imagine I waved my wand and made you emperor of the world. You then instant ban and shutdown these social media entities. Their stock prices go to $0. Nobody on earth had a chance of selling. What happens? Tons of retirees just got their benefits drastically reduced. Most likely all of them are headed to the job line. Too big to fail.

Hard to prove.

Not too late, but you cant take down goliath, you have to displace it at this point.

>I think it is already too late. The internet is like an opiate or stimulant for the masses and a vampire, feeding off of and feeding into emotions and mass popular delusions allowing people to be manipulated as sheep and resulting in time and energy being wasted by literally billions.

I've sold a lot of domains over the past years, some via sites like Dan.com, others through forums and email.

Didn't take much time to finish a transaction but it can take some time to find a potential buyer.

It really depends on the domain and buyer, sometimes it takes a few months of back and forth to come to a final price. Other times, it takes 15 minutes...

> The problem is, it doesn't scale, especially in a city as big and violent as Chicago. It only works so long as police keep their foot on the gas (so to speak); they minute they let up on traffic enforcement (because of competing priorities) things will get worse again.

Why would you need active policing to enforce traffic lights and pedestrian crosswalks?

I don't like them either, but traffic camera work.
Which tax liability? That’s news to me.
Eh, I don't know. I wouldn't choose Tcl today for such a use case, maybe Lua. But you could certainly do worse than Tcl. Like a half-thought out custom language. Anyone ever coded nastran DMAP? Or Tex macros? I'd be ecstatic to have TCL over that.

I've seen a materials testing machine whose method to script custom test sequences was a "programming language" that was displayed as text but you couldn't actually type things in. You'd have to select constructs such as a for loop or conditional from a drop down box, then a dialog would appear asking you for the parameters of the loop (start, end, etc).

Actually, I think I even prefer Tcl to Excel's VBA.
Business relationships are personal relationships. I maintain them even when I change companies or when I don’t presently work in the field. Relationships exist on a continuum from close friends to acquaintances.

I know, but if the tool stops being synced with reality, it loses value and in the end you can end up ignoring it because it's not up to date and then because it's not up to date it has even less value.

> I send out a load of mails over New Year's almost each year, and each year someone writes in April or July saying "OMG I forgot to write back" and then picks up the thread. There's no reason the people who never write back have decided not to, except in very obvious circumstances of relationship breakdown.

But that's not a consistent lack of response, it's just someone missing one interaction. I imagine that if you write someone on new years and they never answer, at some point you stop sending them messages, right?

> They won't forget you but they also won't contact you. A lot of people just feel weird about it.

I do not agree, people might get used to the other person contacting and not think about sending a message, but I don't think feeling weird is common. Of course this is personal experience, so I can't know the universal experience.
Thanks for the feedback, really appreciated!
Is there an up-to-date guide for migrating from .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET Core 6.0 (or whatever the latest LTS is)? I guess many projects have not yet migrated, especially libraries that wanted to stay compatible.
