I don't get it. People lose their life savings on non-crypto brokerage scams exactly like this one. The people running these scams are criminals who do not care about any rules you might have around finance.

Cryptocurrencies aren't used to work around any regulations here, but just as an alternative lure instead of "FOREX" or "binary options".

"rules around finance" can do nothing to protect people from outright scams like this https://www.cpomagazine.com/cyber-security/fake-broker-deale...
I've seen this pattern so many times in life it isn't even funny. An acquaintance hated her job and had to leave to be happy. Now she is on her 3rd job in 1.5 years and already thinking about leaving again. Somehow the next job will be perfect and will finally make her happy.

Pointing the obvious is seen as rude, negative or plain toxic, as some do here. Even just dropping hints is received with hostility. Honestly I've experienced no upside and only downside from trying to help people in such situations.

Forgive me if I'm quoting you out of context but the article mentions receiving 4000 applicants over 8 weeks time. I've hired (primarily) for Java and DBA positions, and we would be absolutely thrilled if we got even 40 applicants.
I'm sorry to bother you (and rest of HN) about your product in an off-topic thread, but I noticed ⁨Relay Premium⁩ is available in limited countries. Considering some countries in that list are part of EU, what are the limitations why I'm not able to subscribe to the premium service? Or is there a way to join Relay Premium while not in listed countries (for example, having credit card issued by a listed country)?

This is really nice. Great work.
Your chance of ascension definitely increases if you learn how to do Sokoban well, though. It's a pretty simple way to get an excellent reward that definitely helps you substantially. The Sokoban levels are also a good source of randomly spawned items at depths that aren't too deep. I'd always do the mines and Sokoban before going too deep in the main dungeons, as without getting geared up well enough first you would quickly start encountering monsters at lower levels that would pose serious problems. Going through all the low-depth branches first kits you out with more gear (and more experience points), without risking running out of food which is what might happen if you only stuck on the main branch and farmed those levels for EXP.

Is that really relevant to Coinbase's business though? They're a fee collector - they can do great as long as they're collecting more in fees than it costs them to run the business, and that's true regardless of the net societal value of cryptocurrencies.

Plasma (KDE) is generally lighter than XFCE these days. Highly dependent on how you customise each one of course.

IIRC there was a thread a while ago with benchmarks. And an XFCE developer confirmed that this doesn't surprise them, because KDE have a lot more dev resources to spend on optimisation than they do.
New thing in here (to me): USDC is largely banked by Signature Bank of NY and that "USDC largely banks with SBNY, and a large fraction of SBNY’s liabilities are specifically to USDC". Which is a form of systemic risk; can the bank make good on its obligations? This seems like something a banking regulator ought to be examining closely.
I don't necessarily agree. Depending on what kind of IO they're doing, the latency and consistency of latency from a rust service can be so much better while requiring so much less in terms of computing resources that it actually sets their business apart, attracting customers based on quality or saving them enough money on infra bills to hire more salespeople. It can be a big difference in performance. I have done comparisons across rust, node, java, c# and strongly believe rust is worth it for performance-criticial code, and rust is subjectively very enjoyable to write, for me. I really want a job doing it and so admittedly the "it's too hard" attitude is a thorn in my side.

The existence of past bubbles is in no way an indicator that something rising quickly with a lot of volatility is a bubble. We're talking about an asset that has national buy-in. When's the last time a national currency went to zero? When's the last time the european bank utilized a financial tool that went to zero?
Yes but why? Those expressions do wildly different things both in terms of language semantics and in terms of observable behavior and most of them haul in some heavy additional machinery from the language. Perhaps where it is present, this is a case where stdlibs have implemented it because it's easy to implement, and not because it's actually useful.

(What do I mean by wildly different things?

C++: Swaps the string's contents in-place, and probably breaks any multi-byte code units unless you've got a parameterized std::string at hand.

Dart: Makes a new string but has to round-trip via an array, because... it doesn't have a string reverse? This seems like a really bad argument for your side!

Java: Reverses codepoints, but the fact you have to round-trip through a StringBuilder to handle this is also telling.

JavaScript: Same comments as Dart, but I believe this is broken, it will reverse surrogate pairs incorrectly.

PHP: Good luck figuring out what this does depending on your platform, locale, and moon phase.

Python: Another codepoint reverse, again not via strings but a lazy sequence, and also not even idiomatic - use `str[::-1]`.

Rust: And finally again... not a string reverse.

You want a Go slice reverse? You can get a perfect one post-generics.)
I see this and I ask why it hasn't been this way since the beginning? why it took so long to have it?
Crypto trading in a 401k would at least solve the maze of taxes and valuations. Assuming it doesn’t go to zero (yes, yes, big if…), what you get out when you cash out and withdraw would be ordinary income.

This article isn't wrong, but:

> there are four levels to it:

> 1. Blind luck: This is what most people mean when they talk about luck. Where you were born, who your parents are, winning a lottery… Totally random.

> 2. whatever

> 3. whatever

> 4. nonsense

Level 1 has an outsized influence insofar as: (a) it has significantly more impact than all of the others combined, and (b) it's compounding since it also influences one's ability to execute on #2 and #3 (#4 doesn't exist/make sense).

Don't get me wrong, #2 and #3 are worth pursuing if you can. But the tone of the article strongly downplays the impact of #1 which I think is net harmful.

---

Speaking of the impact of #1, the article is also broadly about individualistic pursuit of "luck", rather than any consideration of how the impact of #1 could be mitigated in the broader context. This is a bit off-topic I guess, but seems worth mentioning when thinking about the net benefit/harm of an article from an ethical perspective.

Basically, bullet point #1 - ignored in the subsequent post content - is the elephant in the room here.
Exactly the same for me, I really liked the concept if not the phrase itself, but definitely the first place I heard it too!

This has not been my experience. No cpu issues, I can see time stamps on messages if I choose, I can search messages, if there are feature differences between mobile and desktop they are not features I am using, and between my Apple Watch, iPad, iPhone and Mac, all my messages are sync’d just fine.

To be honest, the apple ecosystem stuff and how well it works, for me, is one of the biggest benefits of Apple. I walk up to my computer and my watch unlocks it. I can take a call or respond to a message literally on whatever device I happen to be on. For me, I can put up with UI/UX quirks in features like system preferences that I use maybe one or twice a month.

Its the holistic experience that matters to me.
You're right. Worthy was a bad choice. I simply meant that doesn't mean it would turn out to be useful or stand the test of time as being a good investment just like how for the vast vast majority of people beanie babies weren't and still aren't either.

Been using macOS/OSX for work since 2010 or 2011. It seems basically the same to me, aside from a couple performance-enhancing releases that really did improve things noticeably. And better/smoother interoperation with iOS and iCloud. I don't see any big differences.

iOS, that's changed a lot. Could we move back toward iOS 6? I still miss it.

Incorrect. A baseless conjecture.

If there was only free market, no government and public property was private and owned by everyone living in a radius - then people would just bring a lawsuit in an independent court to the polluters and either veto (pollution slowly killing you) or get financial compensation (think for things like a noisy airport next to your house).

As it is the polluters just need to bribe the correct government official and it's all kosher.

You're either for crypto or against it, but either way if you're trying to make money it's due to a greater fool.
I never understood it (third party cookies getting external information) either. Same thing with the referer request header, or user agents, or disabling the right-click menu, or editing the browser history, or opening new windows, or changing scroll behavior, or replacing the cursor icon, or autoplaying videos. There are reasons to want to do these things. In some cases it's difficult for the browser to prevent them. But I'd sure like it if the standards and browsers were on my side, not the side of those nefarious web developers.

Jack Daniel's and Coca-Cola Are Teaming Up to Bring the Classic Cocktail to Cans
Cheap money means there is no reality. This doesn't just impact crypto, but all of startup land and most of tech.

How many startups have you interviewed with that were planning for "doubling head count this year!"? Nearly everyone I've talked to since 2018 has been planning for exponential growth with no idea what to even do with all these new hires.

People are building and shipping products that fundamentally don't make economic sense.

There have been plenty of IPOs for companies it's not entirely clear can ever turn a profit.

There was a post on Hacker News a few weeks back claiming that "natural resources" don't exist and there are absolutely no limits to economic growth.

I'm not fan of crypto but it's the natural consequence of the reality fading from memory.

As the price of money goes up, reality will return with a vengeance.
The above statements are not mutually exclusive.
I'm not very good at statistics but is it fair to say luck over someone's lifetime would fall into some kind of normal distribution? If you simplify extremely and model the good luck vs bad luck outcome as a coin toss (I think overall outcomes bias towards bad luck) some people are going to hit the bad luck outcome every time due to pure chance (all coin flips come up tails) whereas the bulk of people will have some mix of both good and bad outcomes.

So I think (ignoring all the flaws in this model) some people would be just more unlucky over their lifetime due to pure chance and that's what we mean by bad luck.
If you're not getting what you're paying for, stop paying -- and then request/demand a refund for the affected time-frame.

Interesting. I’m a light mode user, so hadn’t seen that.
> Why did other sites ever have access to cookies they didn’t create was beyond me.

They don't.

If you go to example.com, and it loads an ad on tracker.com, then tracker.com will create a cookie. example.com WILL NOT be able to see that cookie. Likewise, if you were to log into example.com, tracker.com WILL NOT see the example.com cookie.

What happens (Without third party cookie blocking or FF's TCP) is if you then go to anothersite.com, and it also loads an ad from tracker.com, then the same cookie sent to it while visiting example.com will be sent, resulting in tracker.com knowing that you visited both sites. The admins of both example.com and anothersite.com will then be able to look at analytics and see that the visitors of their site also visit the other.

At no point is one site ever able to see a cookie they didn't create. Otherwise, this would be a MASSIVE security hole as it would make session stealing trivial.

However, a site is able to see a cookie they created while visiting another site.

Maybe this is what you meant, but it wasn't entirely clear.
That doesn't match what the article says, you must have skimmed it too fast.

The scam was a fake cryptocurrency exchange/trading platform that looked like a real one with accounts, balances and prices for the various tokens.

Use Wine heavily for playing my old videogames that no longer work on Windows. Great to see they moved off of the Microsoft platform.
Yep, when the run on the so-called stablecoins happens it will take down the exchanges more-or-less all at once (since they all have large holdings of USDC and USDT and use USDC/USDT to swap between one another). The exchanges will freeze withdrawals as they'll have huge holes in their balance sheets and the entire system will implode in spectacular fashion. If you have any money left in crypto at this point, then you get what you deserve.
While it's the only ones I heard about, I don't see how this is very relevant. Powerful unions in the industry will tend to raise the standard for everyone, even in shops that are not yet unionized, if we ever get there.
I've suggested this to my lawyer wife more than once. The problem is that she works for multiple partners with no visibility in to each other's tasks. So each partner thinks they can have 100% of her time whenever they want, and get upset when that turns out not to be true.

It's all about tradeoffs. You could increase the number of pilots to hopefully reduce the number of these incidents, but the added complexity might increase other incidents and would reduce the capacity for paid passengers and increase the labor costs when there's already a shortage of qualified pilots willing to work for the airlines.

Same thing with the doors. They got strong locks and protocols to use them in response to rare events, but it makes other rare events harder to manage.

We generally live in a pretty trusting world, which enables many things, including violations of trust with major consequences.

I believe the utility of 10k robot followers in Twitter is that it fools Twitter into thinking you and your tweets are interesting things that should be shown to more people, and thus starts to get you human followers. Unless Twitter figures out you've been buying followers and bans you and/or the robot followers before you get to the point where you've got multiple tens of thousands of human followers.
I think the entire point of mentioning SBNY is that they are acting like a traditional bank in lending out their deposits. The question is what kind of loans did they make, and how liquid are they? If they're not very liquid then USDC will eventually have a liquidity crisis.
