The reasons this is nonsense are twofold:

First, I have never actually seen any comments here disavowing themselves of responsibility. It is always aimed at protecting others and this is rooted in the obvious fact that a very large number of people are not (and we do not expect them to be) experts in investment. That assets can go up or down is one thing, and nobody can be protected from that, but there is an extensive body of law intended to protect people from outright falsehoods. So I can say, "you should invest in ConCoin, it's going to the moooon" and that maybe is allowed. I cannot say "we have pegged this to the value of the dollar if I know that I have taken no care whatsoever to even try and do that".

Second, refusing to set a floor on falsehoods using regulatory tools makes doing business much more expensive for people who are not scammers. This is a classic "market for lemons" effect. If I have a great idea that I would like to raise money for using, say, a utility token [n.b. not currently allowed] then if the last few such tokens have been exit scams, I will raise no money. Maintaining a certain level of trust is a pool from which we can all draw. It has in fact been shown that growth in low trust economies is systematically lower than in high trust economies.
Do you deny that NATO is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity on states its member-politicians have 'declared inferior'? Finland is just as capable of xenophobia as any other NATO member.
Luckily we were still at the beginning of banks lending REAL money using Crypto as collateral.

So you won't see much effect in the real economy.

There is absurd amounts of Crypto lending that's probably causing a lot of margin calls forcing a negative feedback loop in Crypto prices.

Everytime this happened before - the Central Bank of Tether came to the rescue and printed 10% of the entire Crypto market cap in ~2 days to pump up the market ~30%.

Time will tell if they have the balls to do this now - when they're already under investigation in many jurisdictions.
Good point, everyone should just yield to the concentration of power. That's always led to peace and prosperity.
Immediately moving the goalposts and not putting up the stake requested, can I take this as you declining to stand by the quote and thus the bet overall?
It's not ludicrous. It's rational decision on their part. OP-1 is still available, expensive and sells well.

If you want to experiment you have everything you want on your laptop. There are many alternative cheaper solutions. It is somewhat unique and well thought-out. The fact that you were considering it at $1k just proves their point.
This is how almost every con works. The people who fall for advance check scams think they’re getting easy money and the greed clouds their judgement. It doesn’t absolve the perpetrator.

Being a "defensive pact" does not exclude preventing genocide next to it's borders.

The fact that you call it "the issue of Kosovo" is telling.

It seems like the idea is to oppress people so much it takes their minds off of the sexual abuse they suffered in childhood.
It’s a great bit of fun that can produce interesting and surprising sounds. For a lot of musicians a fun piece of gear can be a source of inspiration, which can be very valuable. So yeah, it’s a toy, but you can make real music with toys.
From my experience in the media industry some producers/higher ups like making arbitrary changes to a work/show/whatever just so they can say they had an impact, or to say that they made that change at the end, most of the time it ends up making the final product worst.
> And without it you get occasional massive runs on banks

FDIC doesn't prevent runs on banks. It only pays out after a bank is declared insolvent and there's nobody willing to buy the bank.

Banks are regulated for good reasons which make them safer. But at the end of the day banks are in the business of transmuting unsafe long term debt into safe demand deposits.

I would say a related point to that is: don't skimp on unit and integration tests. It's easy to rush code out but tests will force you to think through it and give you a way to quickly test if a change is a breaking one.

But as a counter point, early in a product lifecycle you don't even know if the product you are building is what you are going to find a market fit for. So spending a lot of time getting the tech perfect is sometimes a waste. It's a constant calculation of balancing the risk of not scaling with the risk of taking so long you never get to the point where you can scale.
I clearly state that I am referring to Kaliningrad.
I think the real target market is plugin developers, who love the fact that you can get people to pay annual subscriptions for plugins providing some of the most mundane features I have ever seen.

I just got done building an omni-channeling recording system, with a soc running ubuntu-server & alsa handling recording from several usb dacs connected to microphones. I feel your pain. Sound on linux is a nightmare. But now that I have an understanding of it, here are some helpful things I learned.

- Make sure alsa-utils is installed

- Auto-configure hardware devices: alsactl init

- View hardware for playback (use arecord for opposite): aplay -L | grep “^hw:”

^ Use that to make sure your hw is being detected

- Lower level list of sound cards, if having issues: cat /proc/asound/cards

- Base alsa conf: /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf

^ go there to dive deeper into what alsa is actually doing. It will also show you the priority for config files, so you can go through that and check which ones are in use and modify accordingly. alsactl init should handle most configuration though.

- you will want to mess with this: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
…and get it working for your hardware. This is a resource to understand that file better: https://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards

You can google configuration files and find one that works for you. Most issues for normal use will revolve around which card gets set to index 0 / default, so if you know your card you want as default, I’d recommend finding your device id (i think cat /proc/asound/cards will give you vendor/product ids you can use) then making a config using that id to set it as the default card, independent of indexing.

Turned into a lot, stopping here. Sound really shouldn’t be this hard for end users or devs, but it is what it is right now. Anyway, it’s fresh on my mind so at the very least, I might be able to point you in the right direction.

Good luck!

Article is from March 2020. I wonder what updated numbers look like - e.g. Flutter 3 was just released yesterday!
Yes true, but my point is more that the headline is purposefully catchy (which is fine, it's a headline) but the actual content is not really noteworthy in any way except that "cryptocurrency failing" gets people's attention.

If BitPrime was a CRM SaaS that shut down and laid off all 6 of its employees or whatever nobody would think to write an article about it.
I think what Putin fears the most was that euromaidan could spread to Moscow. A slavic orthodox country on his doorstep making moves to become a Western style liberal democracy was a threat to the idea of Russia as the centerpiece of the Russian language/culture/religion empire, all headed by a tsar with absolute power.

NATO? For all the propaganda about evil NATO about to attack Russia, the troops that Russia normally has stationed against NATO and Finnish borders are now all in Ukraine getting their asses kicked. The NATO and Finland borders are empty. Ergo, in reality Putin is not (correctly so) afraid of any NATO attack.
Vouched this not because I agree with it, but because I feel it deserves a reply.

You should note that even Trump held Finland as a counterexample to European NATO countries that don't pull their own weight.

Finland is not a country that spends all it's money on social programs and doesn't have a military. Instead, we still have mandatory male conscription, and a very well-armed reserve.

Historically, we have trusted our defense in the principle of being strong enough that even if we knew that the Soviets/Russians could eventually beat us, the costs we could inflict on them would massively outweigh any possible benefit from conquering us. This no longer works because in Ukraine Putin has shown that he does not do cost/benefit analysis for his foreign policy.
Regulations. Cars are heavily regulated for safety reasons. Also brand trust.
The sad reality is that many poorer and financially illeterate people have been tricked by VCs and other grifters ...

The sad reality is that many poorer and financially illiterate people have become partners with the grifters by preaching the crypto religion to anyone who would listen --- knowing that every new convert would likely do the same and help push their own crypto assets higher.

This is nothing new --- it is the same marketing scheme that religion has been using for centuries.
Finland and Sweden both have strong militaries (for their population size) that have been using NATO-compatible hardware for years, along with taking part in exercises with other NATO militaries.

They’ll be self-sufficient assets to the alliance, and being in NATO makes their status unambiguous should Putin or whoever follows get any more bad ideas.

So what? They only have themselves, or rather Putin, to blame. He's forfeited the right for them to have any meaningful input into the decision.

How is it any different from a bank?

The Croatian president is stupid (as is the Prime Minister, fwiw), with little actual power, and spewing things left and right to make himself more relevant.

Thankfully, Croatia doesn't have any real influence in NATO so nobody will be obliged to listen to that stupidity.

Sources are inconsistent on this topic – some say Turkey has closed the Straits to all warships, others say it has only closed the ships to the official parties to the conflict, which is currently only Russia and Ukraine (arguably Belarus too, but that's irrelevant to this, since as a landlocked state they have no navy), and that other naval ships, including Bulgarian and Romanian, are still allowed through, so long as they don't actively join the war. I'm not entirely sure which set of sources are right, but I suspect the sources claiming a narrower closure are more likely to be correct.

Putting that aside, even the official parties to the war are allowed through the straits to return their ships to their home ports (unless Turkey is directly involved in the war, in which case Turkey can block all enemy vessels, even those returning to their home port). Since the only coastline and naval bases of Bulgaria and Romania are on the Black Sea, that rule covers their entire navies. It only really disadvantages Russia, since Russia is the only Black Sea state (other than Turkey) with naval bases outside of the Black Sea. It means Russia can't send reinforcements to the Black Sea from their Pacific, Baltic or Arctic fleets.

In a scenario in which Romania or Bulgaria actively joined the war, it would be a direct Russia-NATO war, including Turkey. In such a dire scenario, Turkey would likely announce the unilateral suspension of the Montreux Convention for the duration of the war, and allow NATO warships unlimited passage. Russia would consider such a unilateral suspension of the Convention to be an act of war, but in such a scenario Turkey and Russia would already be at war anyway.

I think those of us who value our privacy are going to have to draw a line sooner or later.

Do we want to combat child sexual abuse? Yes, but not at any cost. Are there things more important than combating child sexual abuse? Yes, such as our digital privacy. Are we willing to make the job of the authorities more difficult in combating child abuse in the name of privacy? The answer is yes.

It is kind of interesting how deeply involved his foundation is in German political "think tanks" as well. Recently a group of intellectuals published an open letter opposing delivery of heavy weapons to Ukraine. Shortly after a different group of intellectuals lead by two former Green-party politicians, that are now heading a think-tank, published an open letter in support of it. Guess who initially provided significant funding to their think tank: The open society foundation. The German public broadcaster regularly interviews experts on Ukraine. Yesterday they ran with the headline "Regime um Putin zunehmend faschistisch” - "Putin's regime is increasingly fascistic". The guy they interviewed was Stefan Meister, employed by dgap.org (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Auswärtige Politik - German Society for Foreign Policy), sounds benign, but they are known for financing luxury trips of >350 parliamentary aides to German weapons manufacturers. The Open Society Foundation is again a major donor: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Gesellschaft_für_Au....

Exactly. The "official way" of writing big numbers around here (I know at least the balkans, germany and austria) is `1.000.000,00 €` (1 million). So what you wrote, but always at least 2 decimal places (or zero if it's not a financial document).
> With a security-strengthened operating system, or with a VM/container/sandbox, it is possible to ensure that any opaque user-space program is no security risk.

In theory this may be true. But the particular opaque user-space program is talking to a driver authored by the same team. That driver is talking to hardware that has access to all of the memory in your computer.

The odds are high that a userspace program talking to this kind of driver could make your computer do something you don't want it to do in a way that is very difficult to suss out just by reviewing the driver source code.

(I agree that an open driver is a great improvement over a closed one. But I don't think you can make any strong guarantees about the safety of the closed userspace portions of this one, yet.)
1) Areo magazine is a political hack publication.

2) The article about US schools was written by an Australian.

3) The article seems free of any actual empirical examples of its main claim.

4) There have always been groups in the US who want censorship in schools for anything they don't like politically or religiously, most notably, the science of biological evolution. The "oh no, what are they teaching the children in schools" crowd is very hard to take seriously. There are people who don't want slavery mentioned in schools. They don't want the Holocaust mentioned in schools. It's hard to imagine a more "radical agenda" than all of this censorship and denial of facts. Wipe away history? Wipe away science?

The irony is that those who say "just teach the controversy about evolution and the Holocaust" [there's no scientific controversy] would also refuse to "teach the controversy" over CRT.

I've never taught high school, but I did teach (philosophy) at the university level in the past, and the people who complain about what's taught in college typically believe laughably inaccurate caricatures of what actually happens in the classroom. We're not proselytizing students; it's hard enough just to keep them awake during class and prod them to actually do the assigned reading in the first place.
Our society has made a different call. We have decided that without being restricted investment cons will cause massive harm to society. We decided this because it happened over and over and over and over again.
Yeah not like this. I will turn myself into a black hole as much as possible.

If they somehow ever come to suspect me of these things I will gladly do anything I can to support their investigations. They can come by with a warrant, look through my message history specifically and only for evidence related to their investigation, it will happen in my presence, and no copies of my data will be made and/or fed into the basilisk. You know, how it would normally go.

What in the world are they thinking over there.
The problem is they only need to win once. What we really need is an immutable section in the EU constitution that anyone who tries to take away basic privacy rights like this is immediately tried for crimes against humanity and sent to prison for the rest of their lives.

True. Before there was little common ground but now the populations of countries like the US, Baltics, and Poland have significant common ground and feel much closer to the Ukrainian people because of the common value of freedom and sovereignty, both of which are held very dear. There is nothing strange or hypocritical about that.

That seems to be one strategy. For us, we had about 500 people who filled our very first user research form and we kept a target of minimum 300 orders to be able to manufacture the units and at least break even. Turns out, not even half of the 500 folks read our crowdfunding launch email. We didn't have any money to spend on paid promotion. So we then did everything, from posting on relevant social media channels to trying to get articles written about us by blogs to cold emailing people who I thought would like the product - and one of them did who offered us the FOSSUnited grant! I guess whatever works best for your product/campaign.
> So those who say they agree with Putin or agree that NATO forced his hand, are signing up to the same view of the status of Ukraine and therefore the Ukrainian people.

I don't have to agree with Putin to say that I can understand Russia's issues with Ukraine. Saying that Putin's/Russia's attitude makes sense, does not mean I agree with it. It's in Russia's interests that Ukraine should be under Russia's influence, and in USA's interests that Ukraine be away from this influence and under their own, NATO serving as a tool for this.

Now would the Ukrainian people's lives be better if under the EU's/NATO's influence, instead of Russia's? Maybe. Right now though, there's a war. Would a pro-Russia regime in Ukraine (& not trying to join NATO) have resulted in no war? Is the war worth it? Time will tell.
