It's mechanically possible to come up with fake accusations, take on the short position, publish the accusations, and cash out on the immediate stock drop, since just publishing the report is itself a market moving event, betting that the SEC either won't notice or won't bring down the hammer hard enough to wipe out their gains.

This might have happened before with a different short selling institution in 2019 when an investigator working with a hedge fund published a report accusing GE of accounting fraud[1]. The accusations led nowhere and GE's stock rebounded rapidly after an initial ~10% drop. I couldn't find details on who the fund was or if they made money cashing out on the dip.

I don't think that's what Hindenburg is doing here, and they have a pretty good track record of spotting fraud (IIRC they've called it correctly on a lot of bad companies in the past few years).

The "bug" is (or rather, isn't) in this phrase: "[n]o person shall import into this state, or take, possess, or sell within this state, any bird, mammal, fish, amphibia or reptile, or any part or product thereof, that the commission determines to be an endangered animal or rare animal, except as otherwise provided in this chapter." I guess there must be a very good reason why they didn't want to add "invertebrate" (or, to be safe, "other animal") to this list and instead chose to repeatedly expand the definition of "fish". Ok, "fish" included crustaceans, and those are related to insects, so if you squint hard enough...
As someone who used to live with a pro poker player that might be the beginning but it really comes down to the psychological aspect of being able to disconnect and deal with losing a TON of money in the short term. You need to be able to quit, consistently, after losing massive amounts and then come back and do it all again the next day. Over and over. And the losing streaks can be long.
Did you try the hardest level?
Another good one for unit conversion:

https://www.gnu.org/software/units/units.html
> The mistake they made is that they used a much broader category in the clarifier for the definition of fish than they may have intended to. "Invertebrate" is a massive section of the animal kingdom. Poor choice of words if they only meant the wet ones.

The court examined historical evidence specifically to evaluate the argument that the law was intended to apply only to “wet ones” and rejected that argument.

Proper in that it follows the established protocols and rules. If you aren't following the agreed upon process then the system is undermined.
Depends on how big your system is. Losing rights on your domain is a real risk, especially at the highest levels, and some of the big players have taken bold steps to reduce this risk.

There exist some companies who specialize in protecting domain names. Not just from fradulent transfer attempts, but also from bad corporate actors (like Google, Cloudflare?, etc). The two ones I know of are Mark Monitor and AppDetex, though I'm sure there's others. [AppDetex is a former client of mine].

As a related comment said - if the registrar you're using isn't afraid of a bad reputation (Google, etc) then you probably should think of using one that is.
I'm honestly surprised either of them wind up buffered! That must be a change since I stopped paying as much attention to GHC.

I'm also not sure what's going on in the second case. IIRC, at some point historically, a sufficiently tight loop could cause trouble with handling SIGINT, so it might be related to some overagressive workaround for that?
I had a friend at Discover who said their (Disovers thoughts) on the next recession was 2017 or 2018.

And since COVID hit, people have been yelling recession every month since. At this point, I don't think there's much of a benefit for a regular joe to know when the recession is going to hit. Best bet is to ride it out when it does hit and have a few months (3-9) of savings to ride out the storm if you happen to lose your job.
I do consulting and use GCP on behalf of clients so I’ve been through this process of creating a new account about half a dozen times now, and your experience is mine, every time. Blocked, submit information to verify identity, hear nothing back, chase, eventually get chastised for chasing in the wrong way / submitting to the wrong people, and eventually manage to get approved.

Google are famous for bad support so it’s not surprising but it’s perplexing that it is so consistently bad. I continue to use GCP though and know I’ll someday be paying for trusting Google despite constant reminders not to.
This is the article that convinced me to build LegendKeeper on top of CRDTs/yjs. :) It comes with a unique set of challenges, but it’s helped me make a more user friendly, performant product. Plus local-first tech like CRDTs tend to get you collaborative multiplayer out of the box, too.
> It's not clear that there are sufficient accessible deposits of lithium and other raw materials to meet the demands of electrification of everything via lithium batteries

Yes, it is clear. It’s one of the most abundant elements in the earth’s crust and is common in brines. Can also be extracted from seawater for less than current market spot prices.
You're confusing the intent here.

A creator would effectively be selling swag at a markup by giving a reward at a certain backing tier. It's like your local NPR'S funding drive - you give them $100, they give you a tote bag or whatever with their logo on it.

Everyone wins - you buy cool branded merch, the creator gets to sell at a large markup as "fundraising".

That's not the same as being sent a free t shirt with the hopes of them wearing it.

Realistically how hard is it to just wing it? Like say I book one long trek to start - can I just wing it as I go along or is it a much better idea to plan the whole thing out train by train beforehand?
Why do you think people driving shitboxes (or any other crime) will give unfavorable ratings at a higher rate than people who get cited for other crimes?

If Officer Karen has a terrible rating because he's constantly enforcing unpopular laws nobody cares about to an extent people deem unreasonable resulting in "man, that's bullshit" reactions from the people being ticketed then it will show in the aggregate stats and the chief will hopefully say tell him to knock it off and do something that has a higher ratio of public safety to pissing people off.

Literally every trade where customers rate performance has had to grapple with this. It's a solved problem. The real value add is using the ratings to compare members of the team, different types of interactions, etc, etc. Anyone who's ever managed or worked from a ticketing system should be familiar with this.
Sadly Bluetooth support on Node is a mess and has been so forever. Noble is the only BLE library, and the original creator abandoned it years ago. The community forked it and has been maintaining it since then, but it's still got a lot of the baggage from the original, particularly that it's near unusable on Windows. I've considered rewriting one of my projects in another language just to get away from Noble.
"People with objections to this decision want the court to amend the law to be more exclusive,"

Where in the law is it inclusive defined?
so reference the book, which is more useful, rather than some rando name.
In most cases, virtual banks:

- Do not require minimums (something that until recently was standard practice across all major banks)

- Offer products that help customers through cashflow issues (Example: Chime's SpotMe feature)

- allow you to create a bank account in a matter of minutes regardless of your geography (atleast in the States)

- Offer a network of ATMs that you can withdraw money from (again w/o a fee)

- Provide a digital product experience that isn't a series of compromises due to having to work w/ legacy systems (unlike most established banks or credit unions)
Very nice! Are you using the hacker news api?
I've sunk more than 2000 hours into PoE, and spent a few hundred dollars to support the devs. I had gotten into a groove where I'd play the "fun" leagues and skip the stinkers (because they tend to alternate: great-broken-great-broken).

I have almost no time for gaming these days, between work and family. I backed the new System Shock on Kickstarter years ago, and I probably won't get to play it.
Seems overly optimistic. I expect the slowdown to hit the EU after summer with layoffs accelerating towards winter. But then I hope I'm wrong.
That's a fair point, and I'm guessing why my previous comment is being downvoted.

I know our location provider did some things proactively - like they would not geofence hospitals, for example, but "home" is likely very visible.

That's a dataset I didn't work on as much, so maybe I'm not being sensitive enough to the "this should be illegal" argument. I guess on reflection misleading you for the collection should be illegal, though how to do that isn't obvious.

What I've worked on the most is people's credit card transaction histories, and that's quite a bit more naturally anonymous, though again, if you know enough about a person they would be discoverable.
Wow. Back in high school (~2011) I made this game as an ios app. I remember I published a video on YouTube and a few months later I found a copy on the App Store. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Unfortunately I don’t find my video on YouTube anymore, can it be that YouTube deletes old videos ?

Do you want to eat vegetables and exercise right now vs. do you want to snack and chill right now?

Do you want to be healthy and strong in 15 years, or obese in 15 years?

Are your answers to the first compatible with your answers to the second? Even if they are, do you recognise that most people demonstrably don’t? That’s just an analogy, of course — most people want cops to be tough on criminals and recon at least one law (that their community chooses to keep) is dumb and they should be free to ignore it.

Primary Password is replacing Master Password

Those words don't mean the same thing, though. I would think a "master password" gives me access to anything any of the other passwords do, but "primary password" implies it has access to more things than any other password but not necessarily everything. If you must change it to appease what is probably like three people, call it the "supreme password" or "ruler password" or "king password" or "ultimate password".

I don't think that's true. Maybe there's an odd exception out there somewhere, but toads start life as aquatic tadpoles.
By 2024? Really? The recession has already begun. It started as soon as the fed started to unwind its balance sheet and raise rates. It will continue so long as the fed has to keep raising rates to get inflation under control. Go back and study the 1980 recession. This is going to be a smaller rerun of that recession. Buckle up everyone, it's going to get worse before it gets better.

The military is also going big time in on airships again. Gonna be interesting!
I have to agree with the sentiments regarding Kagi.

I've been primarily using Kagi search since signing up for the private beta in April. Today, without warning, I was suddenly unable to use it.

It seems that with the launch of the public beta today, I was immediately switched to the free tier and limited to 50 searches for the month! That limit was obviously reached within just a few hours.

Bear in mind that I've been using it as my primary search engine across all platforms for the past 1½ months and all of sudden my latest search result returns a request for payment..
The article is really about the environmental cost of the network. Breaking it down to transactions is just a basic tool to promote understanding and quite a common one (like in cost of ownership ratios.) Mind that the whole purpose of the network is still to enable and maintain these transactions. The article eventually transitions from there to the total cost of the network in TWh and the number of those participating in this network by individual transactions.
What is Web 2.0 (2005)
Okay, but for real, why then would the law not have been written to apply to all animals? It seems like they were being specific.

Especially for the purposes of the endangered species act - insect classification is already tricky enough. You could have two nearly identical bugs except for which side of the river which they spawn on. And now you are required to estimate the population over every type of insect and determine its endangered status, and use it as an insurmountable veto power on any new developments?

This seems like a bad pandora's box to open.
I think their heart is in the right place (officers should have direct and transparent reputations to people). But in order to implement this "correctly", you need to go one step further into a dangerous territory: the ratings that an officer receives should be weighted by the rating of the person who rated them. Absolute scumbags shouldn't be able to hurt reputations in quite the same way as upstanding people. If you have 5/5 rating, your rating is weighted by 1.0. If you have a 1/5 rating, your rating is weighted by 1/5.
Superhuman is $30 a month and growing rapidly, for comparison.
I think you meant a 50% chance for $100 is the same as a 5% chance for $1000 right? Just... funny math error as I was like, wait, no... I'll take the 10% chance at $1000 every time! (unless I'm desperate for my next meal, then, as you say, the lower variance would point to higher certainty of some money vs max expected value)

Meanwhile, in the UK the "real GDP per capita" is still below its 2007 peak, as have a lot of Western economies. In other words, if you count it differently much of the world has been in a sort of "real terms depression" for several years.

It's pretty amazing that the US has continued to grow over the last 15 years.
"Fully" is a bad metric for this, because charging on EVs tends to be extremely non-linear.

For example, let me approximate the numbers I had at a recent supercharger stop. It took me about 15 mins to charge from 3% to 60%. Then another 10-15 mins from 60% to 80%. Then another 15 mins from 80% to 90%. In general, for better battery life and to not waste your time, it is recommended to charge to 90% or below.

And that wasn't the most recent gen supercharger. At some, I had personally seen peak charging speed of 580+ mi/hr.
I don't understand what a bank does that requires a physical presence. I have only used small banks in the last 30 years, so that I can reach someone on the phone, but that doesn't mean I have to go in person; I never visited my current bank in person. My kid joined a credit union in a city he's never visited and is unlikely to.

For shops, it's different: it's convenient to be able to pick something up immediately; visiting in person often makes comparisons better; and some things have to be seen in person to buy (fresh groceries, for example, or most books). Occasionally shopping can even be fun (bookshops). But none of those apply to banks.

In my case, you are right. An accountant, a lawyer, a HR professional etc could each do that element of the job better than I could yet I doubt any of them could do all aspects of my job better than I do.

The question is scale. When you're a small firm that needs all these services, you cannot afford a professional in each role so you outsource all those functions to larger firms ... but you still need someone internal to have enough depth of knowledge of each field to direct and validate the specialists' work. There is absolutely no "set it and forget it" when it comes to outsourcing the professional services that keep a (heavily regulated) company ticking over.
I think a lot of the benefit is not necessarily about flying continous long distance flights but being able to carry lots of weight and to easily hover and stay in a general area. Like a base of operations for the military for example.

The Latin root “genius” and making your work into a gift
Lewis Hyde writes in his 1979 book The Gift about the roots of our modern word “genius”: the Latin genius, or what the ancient Greeks call your daemon.

Today we use these words for a select type that we elevate above ourselves: “he’s a genius.” In the ancient world, everyone had a genius.

“According to Apuleius, if a man cultivated his genius through such sacrifice it would become a lar, a protective household god, when he died. But if a man ignored his genius, it became a larva or a lemurwhen he died, a troublesome, restless spook that preys on the living. The genius or daemon comes to us at birth. It carries with it the fullness of our undeveloped powers."

> The Legislature is the body to address the gap, not the court.

They did. They said that “fish” includes, among other things, any inverterbrate.

The people challenging the executive action authorized by the legislature with this language wanted the court to declare that “any invertebrate” in the law does not include bees. But the courts are the wrong place for this: if they think the executive branch should not have regulatory authority over bees which the legislature has granted it over all invertebrates, they should take this to the legislature (or the people, acting via the power of initiative) to alter the grant of authority.
The timeless, futile effort to fix circadian rhythms with tech
My personal policy is: only relay on national enterprises, possibly NOT much big, who happen to have a phone line with some humans on the other side. That's is. A secondary policy is NOT relaying (as possible) on a single company. For domains that means use different companies on different domains and advertise up front your other domains on all of them as possible so third parties can know what to do if something goes wrong.

Not complex, not complicated, not much expensive.
