You are just ranting about things irrelevant to this story.

Nate is not a scammer, but was a product manager at a very successful A16Z-backed startup. He is the type of guy that was already going to be successful and wealthy, but decided to make a little more after incorrectly assuming that either (x) what he was doing wasn't illegal since he wasn't trading stocks or (y) the government wasn't looking into this type of thing. The DOJ is now disincentivizing others in his shoes from following the same path. This type of person was never going to move to a random country without extradition to straight up scam people.[0]

Your comment is akin to someone saying it's a waste of time to charge a US F500 employee or hedge fund employee with insider trading since a true scammer would just be sending phishing emails from Russia. They are different types of crimes and criminals, and I think for this type of crime/criminal, there is a deterrence effect to these cases.

And regardless of your view on NFTs, nobody was scammed here, he just front-ran to make a profit and used confidential information of his employer to do that. This is akin to a production intern for Jim Cramer buying stocks that he knows Jim will talk about on his show that evening, to profit from any short-term pump from the exposure.

[0] I don't actually know Nate or any of the details here, so I am assuming, but this is the sense I get from following this drama on Twitter.
Seems that he defrauded his employer and employer’s customers. The original NFT owner should have gotten the profit from the front page listing.

A physical analog would be an art rep for Sotheby’s directly buying a piece from a perspective seller and then auctioning the piece themselves through Sotheby’s through a third party to hide it from their employer.
Is there any other purpose of making an app other than surveillance and ads?
So could QE and this money flooding from central banks become the new trigger for a 2008 repeat?
Is there any reason that this browser compatible protocol is just not a part of gRPC-Web? It would be much better to maintain community project than building new branded project.

How strongly connect relies on gRPC? Because it sounds like it’s easy to lock in to buf’s ecosystem.
Cool, TIL about blocking/ filtering. We do entity resolution such that if we have a "process id" (ex: 1234) in two different event logs we can determine if they're the same process (since pids get reused). We don't have to compare every process to every other process, only ones that share the same pid, which drastically reduces the data size, and then we do filtering on top of that based on other optional attributes.

When I wrote this system I didn't know what ER even was, an article like this would have helped a lot, even just the first line defining ER would have helped a lot.

This investigation from a couple years ago in the NYT was pretty good:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/19/opinion/locat...
I actually did read the article; I even grabbed a quote from it! Still, the governmental privacy authorities suggest that the law was broken; I'm aware that they aren't enforcement, because I read the article, but the language is pretty clear that they think these actions broke the law.

>You'd need a lawsuit for that

Can you elaborate? Is there Canadian privacy law being violated here that doesn't stipulate any penalty other than exposing Tim Hortons to private lawsuits? Forgive the directness of my question, your comment reads like you'd know.

edit: reading the Report of Findings [0] on the page itself suggests that because the violations ceased once, er, the violating entity had been informed of the investigation and had suggested that it'd delete the harvested data, the joint investigation "therefore found this matter to be well-founded and conditionally resolved". So, nobody really cares

The long term maintenance cost is a headache including the remote connection, but not including stuff like network partitioning.

An Axis system is nice, but it will cost you.
I think you’re right that humans work best in groups, but there is a difference between collaborating with a group and being physically proximal to a group. You can collaborate with dozens of people over the internet, or you can be the only programmer in an open office with dozens of co-workers who can’t help you.

Many of the most complex (software) products in the world are open source: web browser engines like Blink and Gecko, operating systems like Linux and its various distributions, compilers like GCC and LLVM, nearly every programming language, etc. Nearly all of that work is done collaboratively within a group, but it is not done in physical proximity to the rest of the group. Which works fine!
> all they see right now is the hype, excitement, and ads

I think this should really answer the question, and I don't quite understand how anyone can be self-aware enough to recognize these things without also connecting the dots that "companies which do those things to promote their products are not generally trustworthy at-large"

I know this phenomenon all too well though. It's the classic formula. "Generally Well-Understood Thing" is familiar to lots of people without need for any special qualification or training to understand the thing across a fairly wide range of functional parameters. "Generally Well-Understood Thing, but On The Internet" on the other hand is a completely new animal with all old assumptions required to be re-examined for a new understanding from first principles, assume we know nothing.

The understanding is tried, too many foreign concepts enter the discussion, often the desire to understand "how this is different" results in an under-founded belief or assumption that adding the internet DOES in fact somehow make this thing different than it was before, end with a newly emergent confusion overarching the whole and 9/10 times no further understanding is gained and no connection between the two ideas of "thing" and "thing on the internet" is retained.
Fun fact: I believe PAS stood for “Phil’s awesome shit.” Whether that’s subject to NDA is anyone’s guess :D
Track1099 by Avalara | Ruby on Rails Developer; Senior Ruby on Rails Developer | REMOTE | Full-time | https://track1099.com

Track1099 makes it easy to e-file and e-deliver ~40 different informational tax forms, including the ubiquitous 1099-NEC (for payments to contractors) and 1099-MISC (for all sorts of things) and the increasingly-widespread 1099-K (sent by marketplaces and payment processors to their merchants). We opened for business way back in 2011, and the business has grown considerably every year since then.

We're a small team (3 engineers, ~6 total people) acquired last year into a very large organization, and to a surprising extent it's the best of both worlds.

We have kept our server-side up to date, currently running Rails 7 and Postgres 14. On the front end we have emphasized stability and our progressive investment in dozens of large, complex forms--it's traditional ERB with Backbone.js forms and a couple SPA-style islands. We expect to (finally) start upgrading to Hotwire or React islands soon. Probably will never go full SPA.

God, fuck these guys. Seriously. And thanks to the hardware lock-in, their greed will generate a ton of e-waste.
People should be allowed to do what makes them the most productive, be given feedback and coached if they’re not productive enough and finally let go if that doesn’t work.

That’s how it has always been. There are always many factors affecting one’s performance in person or remote.

It is never possible to control people but you can certainly measure productivity if your management is good.
Wow, Russia and Belorus use that much ink!?!
I guess it depends on where the factories are.
this is conceptually very cool, and graphql can be great, but hooking graphql straight up to a persistent datastore as a means of exposing things to external/front-end clients is an absolutely terrible idea and nothing is going to change my mind.
> But, on the whole, one should expect the stock market to rise over time so long as society is not dying.

That's the rub, eh? Are there limits to the growth on a finite planet? Is climate change posing an existential threat? Has technology produced highly scalable and entirely altogether too interdependent international production systems?

How's it bad for the long term, you have a fantastic low stress job.

If this really earned the company millions, maybe you could negotiate with the CEO where you start a new joint venture or something.

150k a year is not bad money, outside of fang, that's actually closer to the top of the market.

Wittgenstein's had a poignant and simple conception of words as bags for meaning. We can put meaning into them, and take it out, and put different meanings instead, again and again. They've always been variable in meaning, and its difficult to say any two people, let alone cultures from different eras, will impart the same meaning to a term.

> The more money the government prints the more the stock market goes up. So the market doesn't actually represent value in a company but instead debt owed to somebody else.

The second sentence doesn't follow from the first. Owning stock literally means owning part of a company. Now the worth of that ownership is determined by what people are willing to pay, and what people are willing to pay is subject to all the whims of human judgement. The money supply is just one piece of that though, it's not the end-all-be-all (not for stocks, and not even for "inflation"). For one thing, the perception of the money supply and the stock market as a whole are major influences, but the fortune and perception thereof of individual companies will move related to its performance which over time will diverge from broader macroeconomic trends.
> And $63k/year is mediocre at best

> It’s below the national median.

For household maybe, I think median individual median is much lower. I know many college educated individuals who say they’d kill for $60k. Most of them are probably in the $35k-$45k range working office positions that require education for some reason.
Curious to see their typescript implementation and how it compares with https://github.com/stephenh/ts-proto which works great for grpc-web.
The thrust of the (financial) problem is that all of those savings, the bureaucracy and the more efficient capital allocation, is completely eclipsed by the massive waste of paying UBI to everyone who doesn't need welfare. If 10% of households receive welfare, you're looking at a 10x increase in outlay (since you're now also paying the 90% who don't need welfare).

But to actually replace welfare, you'd need to pay enough to satisfy (almost) everyone, not just the average. This means you need to pay the 80th? 99th? percentile benefit to everyone, since UBI is a flat benefit and you've eliminated all means testing.

Assuming your 99th percentile outlay is 150% of the average, you now have to pay 1,500% of your original welfare budget in order to provide the same benefit to the 99th percentile welfare beneficiary (and 1% of people previously on welfare are still worse off). Even if somehow we could afford largess of that magnitude without spiraling into hyperinflation, it's unlikely that the efficiencies of individual capital allocation could overcome anywhere near the 1,400% premium of UBI.
Maybe this is a dumb observation but at this point whats the point of even having a backend or graphql (except for maybe authentication). If you are mapping the graphql to sql why not just send direct sql commands. If you arent adding anything extra whats the point of even using it. Just query SQL from frontend

Money laundering is illegal itself without requiring other illegal activity at all, the act of hiding sources and destinations is itself against the law. Likewise wire fraud.

And NFTs are securities, or at least this is the argument. The laws barring insider trading apply to securities in general, individual types of securities need not be enumerated in each law. Collectables are not securities, they are the actual thing and thus not covered.
There are several components that make up long term stock returns (from a macro level):

- Population growth

- Growth in productivity per capita

- Dividends

- Inflation

It used to be that populations were growing and productivity was increasing and dividends were high (becuase PEs were normal). Those days are all over. You can forget about seeing any return above inflation. Population growth has slown to 0.5% (down from about 1.5%+). Productivity per capita is almost 0 for the last 20 years (down from 2% per year for the last 200 years prior). Dividends which used to be 4.5% in the 60s+ and 6%+ at 1900-1950 are now down to about 1.3%.

So, the answer to your question, at least going forward from here is NO, it's mostly just going to be inflation plus 1.3% from dividends. Note, this was not the case for the last 100 years.
> The kind of work Tesla does

The factory workers are already in the factories. The ones remote are the ones who can do their work remote and the company has only broken records since the pandemic started with remote work.

Elon himself says, you can do remote work, after you’ve been in the office for 40 hours, implying, that remote work is totally possible
I think the hesitation is that your skills might atrophy as well as your ability to work in non-chill environments, in case it becomes necessary to move on in the future. Company could go under, get acquired etc etc

Talent shortage, not human shortage.

There’s been a severe talent shortage for many years. When we post jobs, we don’t have a lack of applicants, just a lack of decently qualified applicants, let alone stand-out ones we’d like to hire. People want the job, but are not qualified for the job. That seems more like a labor shortage in that paying more money is only going to rob talent from company A to Company B, but not somehow magic up more workers with the skills needed at both.

I’m not sure I buy the idea that there are immensely qualified people who are choosing to “not work”. If that’s the case - presuming they were paid such inflated numbers that they are basically retiring decades too early, it doesn’t buttress the wage shortage argument either. Now burnout is very real, but I’d argue that what’s driving burnout is lack of talent to spread the load across.

People pay good money for talent - I always say that in America, there’s more money than there is talent. If you want that money, it’s there for you. The barriers are extraordinarily low.

And granted that’s my view from professional services. In the basic service industry you may be right. Reliable labor is not cheap, and on top of that, we (as consumers) are not terribly interested paying more for it. Not sure what the fix for that is. Many answers I’ve heard seem far too simplistic, or come back to a talent shortage on the top end (pay CEO less).
Clearly you've never bought coffee from a chain after 2015.
It's not clear what exactly you mean by physical interference, but either way I think you're mistaken. Starlink is already proving the viability of launching huge constellations of fairly large (a ton or so) LEO satellites. If you're talking about debris grounding these constellations, that's a problem that resolves itself given enough time, as that debris deorbits naturally.

If you're talking about intentional physical interference, aka anti-satellite weapons, the solution to that is having the ability to rapidly replenish the constellation (SpaceX is good at this, and with Starship they'll be even better at it; hundreds of replacement satellites with a single launch.) In the event of a war, a constellation could be kept operational through the brute force of launching more satellites faster than they're destroyed. Of course this will make a huge mess, but that's what wars do.

Anyway, they're going forward with this already. The National Defense Space Architecture calls for a very large constellation of LEO communication satellites forming a mesh network using inter-satellite laser links. Starlink is likely dual-use technology and has been intended as such from the start.
edit: Jail? Asset seizure? Nah, you want to make it non-viable as a business decision. Something like…

Revoke their license retroactively to when they started doing this to consumers.

Charge them for all individual incidents at maximum allocation per law.

Allow the option of reduced fees per incident based on how quickly the business responds.

Hold a minimum value per incident that you do not go under.

> Americans like to pretend they’re rich when they’re not.

Arguably many on the lower end of the income scale aren't pretending not be impoverished. They are, they know it, and there's not much they can do about it. That's living paycheck-to-paycheck, not by choice, but by necessity. It's a very different animal to live beyond your means. It is pretending to have more income than you have, though whether it's for appearances or other misguided notions of what they "deserve" would require deeper insight into their internal motivations!

It is contingent on having a fiduciary duty with the issuing organization, just like your own source says. For non-directors, this duty comes in the form of confidentiality agreements that are part of standard employment contracts (but can take any form, and the wording must be evaluated by the prosecutors independent of the action they wish to prosecute).

Note, that it also relies on the thing being traded being a security. Which the DOJ here decided to avoid trying to figure out, by specifically not leveraging the insider trading fraud statutes.

And therefore they stick with the super broad wire fraud statute, the fraud part being extended to the breach of fiduciary duty. They otherwise wouldn't have a tool to prosecute this action that.
