Replying to myself here. Maybe I jumped the gun.

The OP claimed that money laundering is not a crime, and that is patently false.

However, maybe he simply meant that the application of the KYC/AML regulations may result in violations of the 4th amendment. In other words people getting their assets seized by the government, without the government demonstrating probable cause.

Upon further reflection, I have to admit that such an outcome cannot be ruled out. The government itself would not seize the assets of the suspect, but the banks subject to the KYC/AML regulations may freeze their accounts when they see red flags. The end result, as seen from the suspect's point of view is the same.

To be honest, I don't feel very comfortable about this. It does feel a bit like the government is indirectly seizing assets without a warrant.

I will leave my comment without any conclusion, because I don't have any to share.
> Chile has a great system which guarantees a free bank account linked to your national ID called Cuenta RUT.

To me this reads as a dystopian nightmare. I want a bank account not associated with me in any way digitally or on paper; where I have total control.

Otherwise the government can seize my assets at a whim.

Funny story, in IL I have a bank account with chase. They decided to close the account because it wasn’t active (making regular deposits) (I’d do yearly deposits and use it to pay static bills) AND give it to the state. So the state of IL took custody of my bank account, without warning. I then received something in the mail I had to respond to within 10 days to get it back. I filed the paperwork, but nothing. Money just gone. I’m currently fighting to get my money back.

Anyway, the point is political actors can debank people they disagree with (see Wikileaks) and destroy them. Ideally, that wouldn’t be possible. The government should answer to the people, not control their people.
For that kind of long-lived, low-maintainance, high-abuse machine, you can't just slap in a nice-looking OLED screen from AliBaba, you have to find one that you have confidence that will still work after 10 years in the sun while being abused daily by the public.

Also at the time the system was designed (possibly pre-smartphones), I remember lots of machines like it, incurring train ticket machines with touchscreen keyboards, had alphabetical keyboards. I suspect there was a recommendation that not everyone, such as very old people, would be familiar with QWERTY. I also suspect that in the intervening decade or so, it was realised that actually no-one can use a 2D alphabetical layout at all, because the alphabet is linear and presenting it a grid didn't work. So actually alphabetical is pretty bad for everyone. But it's also the lowest common denominator.

Sadly, once you've shipped a device like this, no one will pay you to go around and replace very expensive ruggedised keyboards just to make typing easier.
A word or phrase doesn't really have a single established meaning if enough people use it to mean something else. Unless we're talking about "literally", in which case the damn kids had better get off my lawn.
That's quite a stretch.

US states cannot just ignore federal law - unless the federal law is deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court - a federal institution.

There are effectively no limits to US federal powers - while the treaties governing the EU enshrine the principle of subsidiarity[1] - and the powers granted to the EU are specified in treaties. A topical and obvious example is that the current Roe vs. Wade controversy just couldn't happen in the EU - as it's unrelated to trade or competition, the EU has no competence in this area. Or the idea of the EU imposing a health care system like the Affordable Care Act or deciding drug laws or gun control laws is unthinkable.

An individual cannot be arrested, charged, convicted and imprisoned for breaking EU law the way the feds can do in the US, regardless of state law. There are no EU prisons.

By any measure the US is far more centralized than the EU - money is power as they say and 64% of government receipts in the US are at the federal level while the EU budget represents only 2% of government spending in the block.

What is baffling? OP explains that they didn't have certain things on their CV. If I was hiring for a JS app and the applicant was all Java or .Net, it is no disrespect to them to filter them out at the CV stage.

I can only speak for myself but as a Dev of 20 years, mainly in .Net (but with Java, Obj-C, PHP and JS experience) I wouldn't dream of applying for a JS job because despite the trope, it is not easy for a Senior to switch languages and just pick it up.

You need to share state. You might only store finished loan applications server side, but often it's nice to allow a user to pick up where they left off. Or keep a list of started, not finished applications, to hand over to sales. Etc.

But sure, application state might not go in the same db/schema as completed transactions.

In the US you may have to change jobs frequently or accept pitiful raises. If your healthcare and social circle become too tied to one employer then leaving or being fired could be a huge change.

Building a professional network is important, and some bonding is natural, so I don't mean to discourage them. Though I do prefer seeking most social fulfillment through other means.

I prefer remote now. It lets me squeeze in a little more sleep that would otherwise be used to get ready and go to an office where I’d have to sit in the morning and listen to people around me ramble on and I just gets tiring.

Thank you for your comment u/ThePowerOfFuet
Great question! Currently the sound recognition doesn't just measure "loud noises" or allow you to set a threshold above which to be alerted. You have to currently specify which sounds to select, and then the accuracy of those are also not that great. This app behaves like "alerting devices" that Deaf users currently pay to purchase, having to purchase and manage another gadget.

Great question, if the app is open-source and free, we don't have ads, we collect no information, how do we make money? We are hoping to hit >10k active monthly users and a organically growing user base to justify putting in more time and personal money to create an AR module and an "Experience" module that uses Machine Learning. We hope to provide those as freemium features because those will require significantly more time to add, but will be an absolute game changer to Deaf Tech!
Fashion is a simple way to describe it, I was looking for deeper analysis. Political influence, past fad fatigue and/or economic dry up (when the system has tried a new thing long enough it kinda wants to seek other paths, energy and belief flows naturally there, until a new slowdown occurs).
>Tremendously low interest rates coupled with quantitative easing dissuaded capital from financing the real economy and instead encouraged herding and levering up in the financial economy for returns.

This is the standard response that people repeat year after year. They are not the full or even major factor. They are more like a result of changes in economy.

>instead encouraged herding and levering up in the financial economy for returns.

Real reason:

Capital intensity has deceased dramatically. Capital intensity is the amount of fixed or real capital present in relation to other factors of production (especially labour).

I'd say it's still super easy to vandalize though, by just squeezing a tube of superglue into e.g. the card slot, making sure one isn't caught on CCTV of course.
Thanks for your comment! The app doesn't perform any of those sound recognition features, it currently acts as a compliment to those features :)

> most poetry by humans is really bad

I think human average is below top AI on a large number of tasks already. We don't actually know how many because the latest generation of models adapt so easily, it's a matter of asking (finding the right prompt).

For example GPT-3 writing articles on demand - hard to tell which is real and which is fake. Translation works very well, and no human could cover the same number of language pairs. And not just translation, but also voice recognition and speech synthesis. Models also do well in symbolic math and can generate code at average human level in competitive programming.

Short poetry is possible, music composition is possible. I think the average humans can write worse poetry and music. Driving cars? Controversial, but AI may be better than the average humans. DALL-E 2 is a better illustrator than the average human. Even protein folding is better with AI than we could do with any other method. Games - it's hard to find games where the top human still beats the top AI.

The idea is that we're passing a threshold moment now. Especially GPT-3 and DALL-E 2 and family, they have a radical new kind of generality. It wasn't like this before 2020. Now it's 100x easier to get an AI to do a task, no need to label much data, just tell it what you want and give a couple of examples, like you would do with a human. It's gonna be interesting to see the effects ripple in all the fields in the next 5-10 years.
Maybe a quick temporary fix would be to add a reCAPTCHA, and a better fix would be to mandate appearing on campus and verifying your identity before any accounts or financial aid is made available?

That was the point that jumped out to me as well.

If we can all start making progression ladders a normal part of a dev team then we recruit for a rung on the ladder rather than an arbitrary title. Then us Devs will be less precious about "That person said I wasn't a Senior", instead we can try and convince our prospective employer that we can e.g. "Consistently produce high quality code", "Is a thought-leader in new frameworks etc."

It also allows conversations about salary to be more open since we pay a range for a specific level and not a massive range of 20-100K depending on how good somebody interviews or how much gall they have asking for more than they deserve!

>Analytics does not need tracking.

I want to know if people who consumed X bit of the website also consumed Y. If those are correlated, it's a good idea to give Y-like content to people who like X-like content. If they aren't correlated, it's a huge waste of everyone's time and money.

How do you do that without tracking?
If you need to go through the “mediocre white male” rigamarole to justify to yourself a better wage, so be it. This MWM is happy for you. I’d maybe go with something more like “I’m worth it” or “having confidence in myself is a good thing on its own” but again, whatever works.

People tend to care about the elderlies, while it's true that vaccination doesn't prevent infection , it prevents serious disease and the cost for the prevention of such serious disease has now plummeted to less than 5 dollars for the mRNA vaccines and less than a dollar for AstraZeneca.

It's a no brainer to take the vaccine as opposed to therapeutics which are much more expensive and need perfect timing.

> Nobody trusts public health right now.

Talk is cheap, actions matter. 75+ percent of the population is vaccinated, if this was a disease which killed 10% of the infected you bet that the remaining 15% would use their bullying to skip ahead of the queue and be injected as soon as possible as opposed to using it to pick fights on twitter and doxx people because they are related to somebody who attended Davos sometime in the 80s

IMO most people are pretty clueless and self-absorbed (myself included). This guy is just pretty open and honest about it. And it's not like he didn't learn his lessons. That bit about realizing how Martin wasn't on his personal expedition was a pretty powerful growth moment.
I’m a firm believer in many of the things mentioned.

When I study with someone there’s a real life component. We take breaks together, chat, ask each other questions.

Also, studying in common places can remove environmental distractions. For some reason during finals time I had the urge to clean the apartment.

Most of those are nothing to do with Electron. I think only the non-native context menus. Not sure Electron supports those.

It definitely supports the Mac menu bar though, the window closing behaviour is completely configurable, and you can of course customise the wording of actions to the platform. VSCode does all that for example.

Well in my view that actually is a choice.

They are making a choice between commuting lots and living somewhere they don’t want to in exchange for career advancement / to work for Google.

That’s not to say that they might not be happier with alternative decisions. Or maybe they decide to suck it up for a while and move where they want later down the line? But these are all choices.

It’s also way easier to press your agenda in your family or in your friend group. That’s a feature, not a bug, IMO.

A powerful and inescapable government seems way worse than deciding between living with, trying to change, or moving away from your local government.
Doesn't this just move your single-point-of-failure over to the service you bought your domain name from?

I suppose NameCheap and friends may be less likely to irrevocably lock you out than Google. And perhaps even if you are "locked out", your ownership of the domain will expire and then you can just buy it again from another registry... So perhaps you're right, but I wonder if there are any other reasons or caveats.
The Guvment
It's naive and a function of serious privilege to posit that your home and job location are generally just a choice you can simply make. If you want a nice environment and a short commute, that substantially limits your opportunities. If you have a family or other ties with their own geographic restrictions, vastly more so. You absolutely were lucky to find something you liked. Saying otherwise is a textbook example of being born on third base and thinking you hit a triple.
My impression as outsider privy only to public information was that this culture was seeded by Steve Jobs, who disliked leaks, partly because he liked their product announcements to be glamorous and surprising. I do know that company culture can be very sticky so not surprised this would persist to this day.
It seems mainly driven by the funding of the company. A large bank or oil company in the city can easily afford to pay Devs a large salary which is less than their investment bankers which generally means London.

Others like Just Eat made a massive VC raise and had money to burn so why not offer 20% above everyone else and get the pick of the best? They were advertising for Team Leaders in Bristol for around £130K, way more than most people across the country could hope to get.

Of course, with the salary comes the burden of perhaps being part of a much larger team, which might mean more variation, things not scaling or feeling lost in the machine, not making a difference in the big picture.
For me, the unsettling part is that this has to be done virtually now.

I remember fondly during my college years the times I was studying in silence with my friends. We were bonding over the shared experience of working towards our goals together. And I felt motivated by being with them.

Get a domain. Then get an email provider that allows unlimited aliases (I'm using German UberSpace).

Then start setting up unique email addresses for each service, e.g. ycombinator.com-abcd@yourdomain.com . The "abcd" part should be random for each service so it's impossible to guess your other email addresses.

I also use yearly throwaway addresses, e.g. 2022abcd@yourdomain.com, for when I need an email address without having the means to create a new alias first. (I then change that later.)

Should spam starting to appear, you'll know exactly which service "got hacked" (i.e. sold your email address) and can just disable that alias and create one with different random letters. Also when deleting an account somewhere, just also delete the alias and you won't get any mails about signing up again.

It takes a bit of discipline but it gives you lots of control over your inbox.

This does remind me of preferring to do homework in a moderately loud study hall at school instead of at home back in the late 90s. Then doing the same in quieter halls in college. Just feeling that others around me were in a similar situation was a motivator to just get the work done, and stop putting it off.
In the US, a PO Box is not a valid address for some things. I believe this includes voting and banking.

This is an issue for some Native Americans who have a PO Box as their only address on the reservation and have difficulty exercising their right to vote because of it.
>I gave you two court settled situations in which the fourth and fifth amendment don’t apply in the context of imminent threat.

There was no imminent threat. He was not on a battlefield. He was not in the active process of causing harm. Nobody would care if we were killed on an battlefield having taken up arms against US soldiers. But that isn't what happened. And the people who killed him can't just change the definition of the battlefield to "the world" and call it justifiable. I mean, they can and they did because neocons are gonna neocon. But it's very clearly and obviously unconstitutional.

>If he had been in the US the govt couldn't have said that they were unable to attempt to apprehend him—-it wouldn't have been believable.

That's not true, and in fact the correct interpretation of the "active threat" requirement can be found in numerous police shootings or barricaded gunman situations. An oft cited example is the BLM activist who murdered 5 cops in Dallas from a barricaded nest in a parking garage - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_shooting_of_Dallas_police.... Authorities sent in a robot with explosives to kill him, and it can be justified with very few people arguing against. An anti-US dissident saying provocative things in a blog or on youtube videos, is not the same.

>Nonetheless, he did not return to the United States for trial.

On what charge? He was never charged with a crime. That was the entire point of the lawsuit, so why are you being dishonest?
