Wait, can someone explain to me why they would explicitly announce it like this? This almost sounds like they're expecting to go bankrupt, or have plans to close the platform.

In the last 7 days they have lost over 50% value, and dropping a news bomb like this is only going to make it worse, isn't it?
Perhaps it's a US/UK terminology difference, but most of the left-libertarians I know would not take kindly to being described as liberals.
That's a great quote from Fred Brooks, thank you for sharing! Do you happen to know where its from?
Isn't... isn't that the core idea of liberalism? Letting people do their thing? Which, naturally, leads to some people getting more than others? What am I missing?
Founders of Zapier, Bubble, and More Predict the Future of No-Code
This is pretty common and it's easy to do. It was popularized first by Google search decades ago, then by Facebook search. How do you think they make suggestions as you are typing?

Responsiveness creates a better user experience.

In our use cases we are using this primarily in search fields. In a few places we do queries onblur. The cost of these queries is trivial, directly hitting indexed db columns. I don't think we have any db inserts triggered from this behavior, and we don't log request params as a general rule (except rarely for short term debugging or non-sensitive performance tracking).
> A dark pattern all too common these days. I hate the modern web.

This is a belief I strongly disagree with that has become pervasive on HN: "I don't like this thing so it is a dark pattern/is toxic, etc." People will, on the one hand, decry the current state of news media and bemoan how Google and/or Facebook have destroyed or perversely mutated it, while, on the other hand, decry the efforts of the news media to monetize (aka get paid) for their efforts.

There is no free lunch. Journalism isn't free. Labor isn't free. We certainly aren't entitled to the free use of the products of each other's labor.

Note that they aren't directly competing ideas. These philosophies aren't pure abstractions. Classical liberalism was crafted in a different historical context, in the era of monarchies and theoracies.
Coinbase shares are a regulated security. The poster is suggesting that the statements by the CEO are securities fraud for those shares not for crypto.
One of the best explanations for me — maybe one of the first I encountered — was a paper posted here on HN about AD applied to abstract types. Getting away from numeric derivatives forced me to think about them differently.

Incidentally, this is also one area where prior experience with lisp can be helpful.
I would go further than the article and say neoliberalism is optimizing for income inequality.

I would also point out that the dichotomy you talk about: neoliberalism vs equal economy is false .
Modern Social democracies don't optimize for perfect equality, they try to strike a balance between market forces and humane values. They reject the neoliberal idea that perfect markets are morally correct.

NATO supplied them with Stingers which can be used only against low level flying airplanes. What keeps Russians from gaining air supremacy are numerous S-300 and Buk batteries that make flying Su-25 or Su-34 outside of Stinger range very dangerous so Russians almost don't fly that high at all.
Yes, this idea of neoliberalism and free market reforms has meant corporations getting more government involvement in the economy. Eliminating market barriers to promote competition is mythical, it has been the opposite - most industries are oligopolies.

Look at the 40 billion that Congress just pushed to give to US military contractors en route of some of the output to Ukraine (supported by the Squad, opposed by some Trump friendly Republicans). This has been modus operandi of US pumping taxpayer money into corporations since World War II. Biden had diplomats go to Venezuela to get oil and pull back Monroe Doctrine US military operations down there as its shifting military operations from around Venezuela to the western border of Russia.

Correct. You could always have JS disabled by default in uBlock Origin to mitigate JS snooping on sensitive info, so there is that. You can blacklist specific domains in uBlock too. We need something like Portmaster[0], but inside the browser as an extension.

macOS does this occasionally too, with pop ups sometimes appearing while I type (software update messages etc)

Especially problematic if you happen to hit Enter for a line return and end up accepting the default selected button on the popup instead.

I think there should be some OS-level heuristics-driven functionality to prevent or delay this sort of thing while the user is actually inputting data. And prevent any third party apps from overriding this unless consent is explicitly given (if the app really needs direct control over window focus) similar to how consent is required for apps to record the screen in macOS.
I don't see why income inequality is inherently "evil". Yes, too much can be a problem, although I'd be more concerned with the overall standard of living than whether billionaires exist. Is it evil that some artists or athletes become extremely popular? Is it evil that someone's business becomes extremely successful? Do either of those things lower the standard of living for other people? I tend to think they grow the economic pie and provide goods and services which didn't exist to the same extent before.

This isn't to say there are no problems with income inequality, or that there shouldn't be proper safety nets or taxation, just that income inequality doesn't seem to be an evil in my judgement. Some people are just going to end up more successful than others for whatever reasons, and as long as it's done within the law, I don't see the inherent problem with it. I do see a big problem with trying to make economic outcomes equal, and I don't think it works.
Last time I went to Tokyo I bought some plastic food as ornaments for my desk at work. I wanted a huge beer mug but that ran like 9000 yen, so I got a smaller beer glass. It's very realistic looking - it has a foam head and it even has fake condensation on the glass. At my previous job I freaked out a few managers who thought it was real.
I do the same thing, and recommend this setup to any music fan comfortable setting up a Plex server.

I share your concern that Epic will ruin Bandcamp, but part of me wonders if that wouldn't be a good thing in the long run. I don't think Bandcamp tried to monopolize digital file sales for independent music, but they kind of have, and that's bad.

I'd love to see a good open source music store pop up that labels and bands could easily self-host. You could probably build all the core Bandcamp features into a WordPress plugin in a weekend.
Coinbase is publicly traded, OP is clearly referring to securities fraud as it relates to public statements that could have material impact on Coinbase stock.
While certain internet echo chambers may leave you to believe otherwise, not everyone breaks down under pressure.
IMO…

I see the value of doing something like this but at the same time I see it being abused far more than helping for it’s intended purpose.

The issue is that it will not be limited to messages. People are not dumb, they will share information in ways that another medium is used like a word doc or online note pad then just share the decrypt password over messages. So even if this starts off with messages it will just force these people to use other means and leave the rest of us vulnerable for nothing.

I think I would be more open to this if governing bodies were to also write in extremely harsh punishment for leaks, misuse, or abuse of this system so much so that no company would dare use this as another means of gathering metrics. Nor slack on the security of the mechanism required to scan the messages. Far too long has our private information gone unchecked and when leaks happen companies claim ignorance and no or minor punishments are handed out. This mind set and way of doing business cannot transfer to encrypted data.
Yeah, I find it weird that proponents of wealth inequality think that theyre defending meritocracy.

They're overtly or inadvertently defending "the magic of compounding" which is the ideology of the parasite - precise antithesis of meritocracy. 3rd generation trustafarians are not 1000x more productive than a burger flipper. Theyre less productive.

We'd probably have orders of magnitude less inequality with some kind of genuine meritocracy.

War Is Peace, Freedom Is Slavery, Ignorance Is Strength and Income Inequality is Meritocracy.
The SEC can't prosecute anyone, they have no criminal enforcement power. However they can bring civil actions for fraud or other violations of securities law, and refer criminal fraud cases to the Justice Department.

The whole point of education is that getting it will make you rich. the point I was making though is that statistically the people who get post-secondary educations are from rich families.

https://www.ajc.com/blog/get-schooled/college-admissions-the...

This is a leading reason why the rich get richer and the poor stay poor. The big question is if single-payer post-secondary makes sense and while Germany for example does have this... they vastly restrict what you can take. Liberal arts is basically not something you can take in germany.

>ask the corporations that are posting record profits in spite of this inflation

In a high inflation environment, the corporations will always post good profits. It's not the other way around where corporations create inflation, quite the opposite.

>wait i thought we were getting inflation that makes the million meaningless

Oh ya, print that much money and inflation would be insane; it would ultimately be meaningless but the point being illustrated is that even if we equaled the playing field, inequality would come right back.
According to wikiquote[0], it is from The Mythical Man-Month. Also, just to be clear, this is a paraphrasing of the original with the substitutions as mentioned in the original comment. The initial context was of software data structures and software algorithms, emphasizing that the data structures are by far the more important.

it means society can only thrive pre-integration or post-genocide/ethnic cleansing.

For example, Northern Ireland cannot exist in the successful European model until the Catholics are gone, or all the Protestants are gone.

I'm not sure this is true, at least I haven't come across more than a handful of people advocating for pay equality. My experience has been that people increasingly believe the systems we have now are not meritocratic or very competitive and have grown more disillusioned with them as a result (very anecdotal obviously as it's based on sources I read/people I know/etc.)
> The only exception I might take to what you're saying is that one of the main reasons for crypto is resistance to central authority, so the emergence of a situation where something like this can happen should be edifying.

Explain.

> It's not the first time this has happened; people seem to forget about Mt Gox.

False equivalence, MTGOX wasn't a Publically traded company with tons of VC money and lots of institutional funds (Ark et al) backing them; Mark embezzled funds and had horrible OPSEC that led to a massive hack. He tried covering this up, Coinbase reporting a massive loss is definitely not the same thing.

> These exchanges need to be part of the crypto schema. Crypto theory is so focused on the chain and not the infrastructure that builds up around it.

Coinbase has been the bane of the Bitcoin ecosystem since MTGOX folded. They are not a representation of what the 'Crypto' schema needs, in fact I'd argue CASH is a superior product in very conceivable way.

And what exactly is Crypto theory, exactly?

The Infrastructure was meant to be P2P, as noted in the White paper by Satoshi: exchanges are merely a response from the growing Market to cater to the increase in demand, and the truth is they still exist. Kraken, Binance, Gemini etc... still exist and will for some time. The number of exchanges isn't the issue in 'Cryoto land,' it's the scams and I'm glad Coinbase being a pusher of these worthless alts deserves to suffer. My worry is what happens to their BTC if they decided to unload to cover losses.
> In a statement, Fitch explained: “The downgrade reflects heightened financing risks stemming from increased reliance on short-term debt, a $800 million Eurobond repayment due in January 2023, a still-high fiscal deficit, limited scope for additional local market financing, uncertain access to additional multilateral funding and external market financing given high borrowing costs.”

Following through to the linked statement:

> In Fitch's view, weakening of institutions and concentration of power in the presidency have increased policy unpredictability, and the adoption of bitcoin as legal tender has added uncertainty about the potential for an IMF program that would unlock financing for 2022-2023.

https://www.fitchratings.com/research/sovereigns/fitch-downg...

So it's not just the exchange rate volatility that's at issue, but the possibility that the IMF will make good on its warnings and not backstop the country until its bitcoin venture ends. That, and the other political stuff, combine to make the country look more risky to creditors.

Later in the Fitch article:

> The recently published IMF Article IV recommends a fiscal adjustment of 4pp of GDP to put the debt burden on a steady downward path, strengthening the medium-term fiscal framework, improvements in governance in reporting and audits, implementing revised anti- money laundering laws, and removing bitcoin as legal tender while improving regulation and oversight of the virtual currency system.
> All attempts for a perfectly equal economy, that I'm aware of, have ended in disaster. Sometimes horrifically.

I guess the tens of thousands of years from when humans were painting on caves to the first manifestation of a class society 10000 years ago was a horrific disaster.
Your ability to negotiate a salary at all is a function of a diversity of salaries though. Limiting that in favor of more equal pay across the board means you’re more likely to be stuck getting paid what others are getting paid regardless of your personal efforts.
Here's one explanation:

A wildly speculative digital currency is fluctuating, story at 11
I get you. I've had that opinion as well. But anymore, I realize that's not my problem. What I want is my share. When a company says, "Best year ever!" and my share is a 2% raise, fuck that.
What do you mean? It was a regular topic on Russian state tv shows (like the Solovyov one).
Now they changed to tune claiming they fight the best military in Europe.
I think a lot of the west was certain Ukraine goes to chaos and capitulation as well.
If you don't care what TV says then the logistical nightmare Russia is having is a good proof they didn't prepare to wage war for very long. They might be corrupt but not retarded.
Nonsense. They can get hacked or introduce a bug into their stack and go bust in under an hour.
That's extremely unlikely, but not impossible.

I'd argue that the dynamic you're talking about is a part of a free market though. Like you could use your McDonald's example to make the opposite point that you're using it for. You could say "A lack of pay, recognition of effort, and career growth opportunity at McDonald's means that workers are unmotivated and do not give 100%. More ambitious workers who want to give more effort and be recognized for said effort move on to higher paying opportunities elsewhere".
Consider rulers in most countries of the world. Democracy and rule of law is the exception, not the 'normal' state of things as it might appear living in the West.
Not really mysterious or a surprise. Passing count as a reference was a huge red flag from the very beginning.
Limiting government power to a minimum and let the market do its magic? I'm pretty sure that's a really bad idea, just thinking of leaded gasoline, tobacco advertising, chemical softeners in food packaging etc. one could get the impression that free market maximalism is an extreme that is as bad as communism, just like any extreme stance/opinion is.
In the end it is all about balancing interests of different groups with (hopefully) a bias towards the people, not toward capital
That's really applying stereotypes to a huge swathe of people and I think you should seriously review your biases and stereotypes.

You are saying a lot of people are obese and not hungry; what about the ones that can only manage to afford shit like dry pasta?

Housed, what about the over half a million homeless? What about the ones that aren't technically homeless but live couch to couch, in a van, or with family even though they have a family of their own? And what about the ones that can hardly make rent every month, let alone never have a chance at home ownership?

The smartphone thing is moot; they can be cheap, and they cost a fraction of, say, a month of rent. The "you have a smartphone so you can't be poor" line is just dumb.

There's a lot of whataboutism as well, i.e. "what about these other people who have it worse"; it's not like it's one or the other. There's wealth inequality, and there's poverty in many forms - poverty that seems intentional and avoidable.

The solution? It's not easy, but raise the minimum wage, tackle the housing crisis; fix the health care system and make it affordable for everyone; tax the rich and do a Robin Hood, or at least fix the infrastructure, reduce the decades long exorbitant spending on the army in favor of health care, public health and education.

And I think all of these can be made to work together with this neoliberalism thing. It just requires some people to give up some of their privileges.
That ship has sailed.

Apart from a few of us nerds on HN nobody will do that. In reality people have a hard time seeing the problem with re-using a password, making people decide which hostnames are okay or vet javascript files before allowing them is unrealistic and not the solution to the problem.
