Because SEC is something specific to US and crypto is international perhaps? I doubt SEC has anything to say in this regard when the trading happens to belong to a citizen of China, for example. And while I do know Coinbase is US firm, so is AMEX. Insider trading at AMEX in regard to foreign citizens isn't something they can do anything about it, can they?

You mean, the mechanism that allows one to ask government for something, and for the government to deny that information for whatever reason?

Okay, show me some example. US Air Force droning a wedding, where can I find information about that? Drone video recordings, perpetrators' names etc? Let me guess - that's "national security" and can't be public. And that's somehow different from how it works in China (if China was droning random civilians that is).
No, it says "If you want to steal it, you can't have it."
China is invading Taiwan because of misguided nationalistic pride and internal legitimacy, not to gain TSMC.

Nice theory, doesn't work. Weed was made illegal to suppress ethnic minorities and war protesters, 50 years later that law is still serving the same purpose. Meanwhile US lawmakers are busy denying voting rights to those same minorities, and making it illegal to teach inconvenient parts of american history.
The real estate market requires sellers to disclose property risks to potential sellers, which is an alternative to insider trading laws (one that would scale poorly to stock trading). Similarly, commodities are often sold under a warranty, with any hidden flaws being the responsibility of the seller - another solution to the problem of unequal information.
It isn't hurting anyone. Yes, it's a bit disparaging of rural Russians who are not as cut off civilization as this video implies, but tbh, if you know anyone who took the transsibérien after 2000, you'll see that this story isn't as outrageous as it sounds sadly.

Pretty sure it was purely affordable streaming that killed bit-torrent. Now that the streaming providers are becoming more disparate, and the old media empires are locking everything up behind ten different streaming platforms, each of which require monthly subscriptions, you'll almost certainly see a resurgence in piracy. It's really just the free market at work ;-)
Big repos work in Git today if you are able to play the sparse checkout dance. There are definitely more improvements to be made.

- Protocol for more efficiently widening sparse checkouts.

- Virtual filesystem or other solution for automatically widening sparse checkouts to greatly improve the UX.

- Ideally changing sparse checkouts from a repo state to just some form of lazy loading. Otherwise as you touch more files your performance will slowly degrade.
This does not seem to implement dependency inversion (DIP).
(IIRC, Robert Martin states that DIP is one of the principles[1] on which dependency injection (DI) can be built as a pattern.)

Since python does not have interfaces (unless you write classes that to nothing, except perhaps raise errors if methods are not overwritten) this does not seem to actually do DI/IoC completely.

[1]: Together with DIP as the second principle.

IMDB and RT scores cannot really be compared since they're measuring two fundamentally different things. Movie that everybody gave a 7/10 would have an RT score of 100% and an IMDB score of 7.0. Also RT scores are mostly based on reviews written shortly after the release of a movie, while IMDB scores keeps getting updated over time. For movies that come out with a burst of enthusiasm and then lose their luster on repeat viewings and closer analysis, IMDB score tend to drift downwards with time.

I didn't say it was the same, just that they can choose to draw a line somewhere.

> It's more equivalent to accepting donations in roubles

And many are in fact drawing the line at that.

> I can imagine people accepting money from dubious sources, but not via dubious means and vice-versa

Agreed, though I think that once you start looking into ethical funding "why not both" is going to be a common position.
This is a blatant, completely shameless and very aggressive character assassination campaign, to manufacture consent for a heavy handed response against users of cryptocurrencies, going as far as regulatory restrictions on what code we can run on our computing devices.

"Securities fraud" here characterizes offering members of the public investment contracts without the approval of a centralized regulatory gatekeeper - something which typically requires a company to have annual revenue exceeding $100 million. That is of course not actually "fraud" under any reasonable definition of the term. It's regulatory-speak, to mislead the public and make these restrictions sound reasonable.

I'd be amazed if there wasn't already a remote way to do this preconfigured. Getting advanced machines to destroy themselves through intentionally bad settings doesn't seem very difficult.

Another option would be just embargoing ongoing supply/support to the fab, which has the benefit of being reversible.

The key part is precommitment and communicating this to the adversary. From Dr. Strangelove (and the real Perimeter/Dead Hand system): "Strangelove : Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you keep it a secret! Why didn't you tell the world, EH?

> If I murder a drug dealer, steal his briefcase stuffed with 100-dollar bills, and eventually donate some of that money to you in USD, you will happily accept it "in good faith"

Yes, if you don't tell me you did the murdering I would accept the money. Your actions are on your conscience.

> But if I work hard as a nurse, exchange some of my hard-earned savings into Ether, and donate it to you, you will refuse because "there is no uncertainty about where they come from"?

> I'm confused. How are you certain that the USD donations are clean money, and certain that the Ether must be dirty money? I guess just the vague association with "crypto" is enough?

I have moral responsibility for my actions. Due to the way a blockchain works, I can't accept or withdraw your Ethereum donation without contributing to the blockchain with a transaction fee. I can't fault you for putting it there, that is a matter for your conscience, but I can fault myself for accepting it.

> Just admit that this is about ideological purity and nothing else.

It is not about ideology at all, but about conscience. I believe ideology is almost as harmful to humanity as the blockchain.

> As far as it being a "ponzi scheme", a pump and dump, a tulip mania, a beanie-baby fad, etc... Just look at the time scale for a big clue as to why such an argument is laughable.

To look at why this counter argument is laughable you simply have to do a bit of research into actual ponzi schemes:

* Bernie Madoff ran a ponzi scheme for ~18-28 years

* Reed Slatkin, 15 years

* Dona Branca, 14 years

* Tenka Ikka no Kai, 14 years

It's difficult to actually classify crypto, but it certainly falls into greater fool theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_fool_theory).

I don't understand the point of this implementation. If you have to call di.get("A") in __init__, why is it better than just instantiating A() directly? It's not even a dependency injection I guess, as the framework should take care of the automatic instantiation of objects without the object having to know even that a Di is in place.
Just use vidir from moreutils.
I think compression is a bad word or description. Another definition of intelligence is sometimes to differentiate essential from superficial information. Of course that often aligns with the application of compression of information.
China is repeatedly saying they won't invade Taiwan, and they hadn't invaded anyone in decades anyway and have non-aggresiveness explicitly written in their constitution; the majority of Taiwanese is fine with the current arrangement too, and yet US seems to be quite successful at manufacturing public consent for war.

EDIT: Russia, which also claimed they "won't invade", has a history of invading, even recently. They also had a reason to invade: situation in Russia was (somehow) getting worse and worse. China is the exact opposite - they hadn't invaded anyone in a long time, and their economy is booming.

Ask HN: How to View the HTML Part of an Email?
I use Thunderbird. I have configured it so that it shows me the text part of the emails I get.

Unfortunately, every now and then the text part is so broken that I would like to render the HTML part.

But it seems like Thunderbird does not offer a way to do this for a single email.

Looking at the source code of such an email, there is no plain HTML but some gibberish with "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;" or "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable".

Any ideas how to go about this?
You can always just convert your float to a bit-equivalent int and back for the type param if you really want it. I have never seen floats used for template parameters in the wild, other than party tricks like wrapping a float in a struct with an "epsilon" parameter used for the operator<. Which is all kinds of wrong.
I thought this was going to be instructions on how to make a flipbook animation, for the kids that are more familiar with GIFs than those.
I always find it weird when a charity or non-profit publically announces that they stop accepting certain forms of donations due to ideological reasons. It's a signal that the organization isn't particularly starving for donations. If you were planning to donate to Wikipedia any sum less than $130,100.94, remember that 70% of Wikipedians consider such donations to have no impact at all. So if you were about to donate $100k, for example, nobody at Wikipedia cares about such a tiny donation. So maybe donate that $100k to an organization that actually needs it instead?
> "the scum of the earth" to describe people you disagree with because it doesn't help in any way.

I did address this in a sibling comment - the exchanges are primarily used to buy and sell crypto to greater fools, and thus they are rooted in a greater fool scheme. The vast majority of use for crypto is speculation.
> Ensure you’ve published this entire process of disabling the fab publicly.

You mean the fact that there is a process, or the actual steps you plan to take?

Publishing that you have a process and intend to destroy the fabs in case of an invasion is a great idea. To quote Strangelove: "Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you keep it a secret!"

But if you mean publishing the details of how you intend to do it: I don't see a point. That just invites your adversary to start thinking ways of countering you or recovering from the damage. That lowers the deterrent effect for no benefit.

Yes it does, hence why I gave both of them as examples above. Just take a look at AMEX history in regards to insider trading and foreign citizens, then tell me what SEC did in those cases. Coinbase is just the latest kid in the finance sector, with just a fraction of toys AMEX has palying with for decades already.

Let me put it this way. Coinbase is just a sliver of what money AMEX is trading and is used as dust in eyes to blind people at real insider trading that happens in real money makers, which are AMEX and the rest of well established banks. Good luck SEC doing anything about it.

I can't fault you for putting it there, that is a matter for your conscience, but I can fault myself for accepting it.

Are you hypothesizing that the net amount of transaction fees paid on the Ethereum network will be higher if you accept the donation, compared to if you don't accept the donation? I have a feeling that you might be accidentally comparing to a scenario where the donator does not donate and subsequently never transfers that cryptocurrency anywhere ever. This is not a realistic scenario. The donator is almost certainly going to transfer that crypto somewhere anyway, so it doesn't appear to me like your action of refusing the donation reduces the net amount of transaction fees.
I think the role of religion in promoting certain social pathologies is pretty well established now.

This is what I've observed, it's not a prima facie assumption. I was initially optimistic when bitcoin came about.

The largest Pterosaur are estimated to have had wingspans of more than 9m and weigh up to 250kg (550 pounds) and we believe they were able to fly. [1]

But that's not the most relevant point here. The fact that humans did achieve to fly, but through a different method than birds is exactly a supporting argument that we might achieve AGI with a different approach than how our brains do it.

There are countless similar examples. We see a natural phenomenon, we know it's possible and we find a way to replicate the desired effect (not the whole phenomenon) artificially. I haven't heard anything here that it will be any different for intelligence, except that we don't know how yet.
