I am pretty sure that’s not possible, as the government won’t sell the rights to just anyone, you need to qualify to participate. Making the government look foolish is not appreciated and the goal is to incentivize energy production, not enable trolls and political opponents. Besides, the rights are expensive and it is comparatively cheap to find some endangered corals or tie the whole thing up in court. The extractive industries have way more money than the greens, so best to skip the bidding war.
> Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm conduct; that term is used as shorthand for a firm with significant and durable market power — that is, the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors. That is how that term is used here: a "monopolist" is a firm with significant and durable market power. Courts look at the firm's market share, but typically do not find monopoly power if the firm (or a group of firms acting in concert) has less than 50 percent of the sales of a particular product or service within a certain geographic area. Some courts have required much higher percentages. In addition, that leading position must be sustainable over time: if competitive forces or the entry of new firms could discipline the conduct of the leading firm, courts are unlikely to find that the firm has lasting market power.

> Obtaining a monopoly by superior products, innovation, or business acumen is legal; however, the same result achieved by exclusionary or predatory acts may raise antitrust concerns.

Germany does seem to be a case study that open immigration does "work" at least to the extent it hasn't destroyed Germany? The job seeker visa is trivial at least as an American to get, it has me scratching my head why my own country doesn't offer something similar.
Crypto people love to talk about incentives when referring to things like crypto adoption by the market, or corrupt actions on the part of incumbent powers like bankers or politicians.

They are much less enthusiastic about discussing incentives when it comes to things like exchange operatiors front running their clients, centralizing forces in crypto generally, etc.

Taiwan's ex-defense chief calls for sweeping military reforms
I would like a break from building mostly CRUD applications and study a little more CS theory. However I am not wealthy enough to just enjoy studying, so job market and cost of education is extremely important too.
I mean, this is exactly what happens when you work for a hedge fund. You have to provide statements for all trading accounts you and your immediate family own.

So, yeah, this is exactly what coin base should be doing. They should require all employees to list all account addresses they have access to.

It's a trivial ask for the employee and its trivial to scan
A masters degree is very helpful for immigration as well. There's an additional H-1B allotment for applicants with a US Masters degree, for example. In Canada, there are preferences for having studied in Canada as well.

IIRC, you can work under OPT and apply for H-1B, if you get it, great, if not you can stay under OPT (until it expires). If OPT is three years, maybe you get three chances at the lottery?

If the looming recession is like the 2008 recession, there's a good chance the H-1B oversubscription rate goes way down; so you have a better chance, assuming you have a visa sponsor.
Super cool product, congrats on the launch Maitham :)
Good to hear that all the data is encrypted & anonymised, since that would be my #1 concern with health data. (Evervault also looks interesting, I didn't know there was a plug-and-play way to do this!)

In Colorado, those rights are detached from land ownership. A state commission chooses lease parameters and, with some local consequence, those leases fund rural schools. A better system might:

- Fund schools in a different way
- Permit mineral rights to be owned just like private land
- Require an insurance policy for exploration in the event it destroys a well or other water source
I agree, however I would like to point out that Collateral Damage has been the norm for all of the history of warfare. The reduction of collateral damage by smart munitions and rules of engagement is an extremely new thing and still a foreign concept to most militaries. It's essentially a luxury afforded to countries so powerful that they can expend resources to not destroy the entire country they are fighting.

Collateral damage hasn't been normalized, in fact the opposite has occurred. Much worse, the idea of a "Clean War" has been normalized. The only clean war is NO war.

> I’m pretty opposed to this change, even though it’s veiled in terms of fairness. The fact is, the banks and Visa are far too quick to deny disputes.

It sure doesn't look that way from my end.

I maintain the payment processing stuff for a small seller of digital goods and services. The services need to regular contact our servers in order to perform their service, and in that contact they identify which customer is using them.

If a customer cancels and asks for a refund we always give the refund. If they are more than around 20% into the term of their service and our logs show that they have been using it we might prorate the refund, but usually we just give a full refund.

No hoops. They can cancel and request a refund by calling support or do it entirely online without any need to interact with a human.

The only people who might have a good reason for a chargeback are people whose credit cards were stolen and the thieves purchased something from us to check if the card was valid. We almost never see such chargebacks.

Almost all the chargebacks are people who tell their bank that they don't recognize the charge but they have actually been using the service actively for years. Some are on monthly subscriptions and so have had dozens of charges from us before and now suddenly have no idea who we are.

Heck, a fair number of these people even have had their subscriptions stop because their on-file card was no longer valid, came to their account page at our side and updated their payment info to reactivate their subscription, and then the next time it is time for renewal they are calling their bank saying they never heard of us.

I don't think we have ever been able to convince the bank or card companies to deny any of these chargebacks. None of the use or transaction history matters. They just tell us to FAX them a copy of the customer's signed receipt from the original sale.
About a fraudster that was caught by a random person who could look at his fraud publicly, under the light of the sun.

The part after "fraudster..." is what sets apart the blockchain and traditional financial networks, when it comes to fraud.

If you commit fraud in the traditional financial system, only the financial institution has a chance to find it suspicious and tip the government agency responsible to investigate.

In the blockchain, literally ANYONE ON THE PLANET can keep an eye on the fraudster.
I agree. I used RT years ago when I was in IT and quite liked it. I’ve used plenty of the competitors over the years and they seems to be mostly worse versions of it.

However RT is really just a request tracker and doesn’t do some of the fancier pseudo PM stuff zen desk does. That’s a plus in my book since when I’m tracking tickets I don’t want a JIRA clone but worse.

Also it’s worth noting I haven’t used it in 10 years so it might have changed substantially since then.
This has nothing to do with fiduciary duty. He defrauded Coinbase and is being charged for that. Deliberately misappropriating privileged information like that is absolutely a crime.
What they did is definitely unethical, but I place at least some of the blame on the government themselves.

How did "crypto" become a >$1T marketplace with so little legislation? Failures on multiple fronts of the US government.
I believe it is temporary. China is massively build up their military and are consistently threatening their neighbors. I believe it is just a matter of time until war occurs.

Also, you are advocating for more than 2 blocks. As far as I can tell there are only two super powers right now.

Medical doctors do, for sure.
That's one of the things I was handwaving over when I said "in the US it's more complicated". In the context of being an employee and hearing the information in your job it would pretty much always be illegal.
I use the same approach, save me time.

> I can pay a guy $60/hr in India

Man, you’re really overpaying if you think an Indian designer would be $60/hr.

That would be more than the annual salary of a senior FAANG engineer.
Which one would that be??
>bitcoin supply is limited to 21 million. that's key.

No, this is another falsehood pushed by crypto promoters. For a user only trying to make a payment, the 21 million is just a magic number. Technically the miners can coordinate to soft fork the protocol to increase the number of bitcoins, and this has been proposed several times already. An uncoordinated group can also hard fork the network and suddenly the 21 million becomes 42 million; this has actually happened several times already to both bitcoin and ethereum.

The idea that bitcoin is inflation proof is simply nonsense, even ignoring all the analysis, you only have to look at its price activity over the last few months to see how much of a lie that is. Another difference is that the bitcoin miners don't need to actually print more bitcoins to experience hyperinflation, the stablecoin issuers can cause that themselves just by printing infinite numbers of stablecoins and dumping them onto the bitcoin market. So it's in multiple ways worse than whatever you think is happening to the US dollar.
> Ask anyone, why they got into bitcoin, ask any company that got into holding bitcoin instead of cash: they'll tell you: It basically boils down to "I lost faith in fiat".

Huh, nearly everyone I have asked basically told me they want to get rich (like FU money rich), quickly.
In my hometown, there is a long-standing bookstore that an elderly woman owns; she's been old since I was a child and she is old now. She rejoices when people come into her shop and her first instinct is to approach you and ask if you'd like a (free) coffee or tea, not of great quality, but it's a precursor to her second habit: she has a conversation with her guests and through that time she is carefully studying you. After a few minutes she will give you a smile and say "I've got the perfect book for you", she'll retreat into her shop and come back to you with a book in hand and only ask for a dollar or two in return.

She was the town's "book lady" or "just the bookstore everyone goes to" so it's obviously been a disappointment when that wasn't the case everywhere as I've moved on and visited other stores; but it's impressions like that, as a child and growing up with that you are left with an idea on how booksellers are supposed to be like because it's what you grew up with as the normal thing; but alas the world is large and I'm sure this author has his reasons.

Edit: wanted to add an example of how fantastic this woman was at figuring people out; I remember going in around maybe ~8-10 years old and she picked 'Edward's Eyes' [1] for me; it had a profound impact on me as a child as it was so similar to my own life, even sharing the same first name as the narrator of the book.

Microsoft Cuts Job Openings as Big Tech Worries About U.S. Economy
> "Structure for serial, incremental results"

This bit was the surprise to me that it was a new lesson to someone who posts on Hacker News. It's a lesson that 'conventional' project people haven't learned but it's Agile 101. It's the absolute basis and core of agile - don't do everything all at once, progressing together and delivering at the end. Instead do the first thing all the way through, and then the next thing.

Doing it has many many benefits:
You can stop at any time and have something useful
You get to decide whether subsequent things you thought you wanted were actually right and can add/remove/change them
You get to take learnings from earlier things and use them when doing later things[1]
As client (stakeholder) you get actual deliverables so you can judge actual progress, with no room for 'fudging'

[1] This is important and not talked about much with Agile. If you do Waterfall you do your design all at once and don't get a chance to learn any lessons. If you do Agile, you build the first thing and learn some more about your problem and the solutions. You are then better prepared for the second thing, which leaves you even better prepared for the third thing etc. This includes even changing what you thought you were going to do for later things.
I think you put too much faith in the collective "we". Right now the charity/investments of billionaires is funding most of the climate action from what I can tell.

> On the evening of Sunday, May 15, 2022, ISHAN WAHI purchased a one-way flight to India that was scheduled to depart the next day shortly before ISHAN WAHI was supposed to be interviewed by Coinbase. Prior to boarding the flight, ISHAN WAHI falsely told Coinbase employees that he had already departed for India when he had not. [...] Prior to boarding the May 16, 2022 flight to India, ISHAN WAHI was stopped by law enforcement and prevented from leaving the country.

I remember the hearings around MLB steroid use and discussions on whether new federal laws should be written to “prevent” drugs that were already illegal (or in breach of contract) from being used by an entertainment industry. If the executive branch wasn’t investigating existing laws That already applied, what effect would new laws that were more narrowly defined provide?

It seemed so stupid until considered from the perspective that MLB superstars were getting a lot of media time and politicians weren’t. Now they had a chance to butt in and spend the majority of the time in front of the camera on a subject they were likely briefed on moments before any “hearings”.

After participating (very briefly) in a local precinct political process within a single party a few years later, I’ve effectively lost hope in the political process. There are self-serving, narcissistic sociopaths who will do anything for perceived power and well funded entities who will prevent anything truly populist from gaining traction. I feel like the disillusionment it breeds is intentional.

Many employment contracts are phrased in such a way as to say that the company owns ALL your creative output. Whether that's enforceable depends on jurisdiction, so hire a good lawyer before working on that side project, disclose it to your employer and get it cleared by their legal department.

There's a reason why the GNU project requires an explicit waiver from the contributor's employer for all contributions. Anything less puts them at risk of civil or criminal liability.
There are actually quite a few community land trusts [1,2] out there. They can be conversation focused, housing focused, or focused on other priorities. But they all have similar structures - non-profits that are focused on acquiring some level of ownership over large tracts of land so that they can manage that land to achieve a goal (conservation, keeping housing affordable, etc).

My local conservation focused [3] one has been very successful and is the source of many of the best hikes in my area as well!

If you want to find similar projects, search for "conservation community land trust" and you'll find them! Alternately, here's a handy tool provided by the Land Trust Alliance a quick search turned up: https://www.landtrustalliance.org/find-land-trust

The research they did would be obtainable from public sources rather than being classified as material non-public.

Coinbase has an interest in not having their information abused, and when an employee granted access to that information abuses it it's fraud. It has nothing to do with crypto or insider trading regulations.
Occupy failed because it didn’t have clearly defined goals.

Ending capitalism isn’t really a readily achievable goal; Occupy would have had more success if they broke down their broad sweeping goals into smaller more attainable goals.
The government is the only entity that can use violence legally, but it's also the only entity that cares about whether something is legal. Any idiot with a baseball bat can break your kneecaps for doing something they don't want. If you have a strong government, the threat that they will use force deters the vast majority of would-be kneecap breakers, and gives you some recourse against the few that remain.

The idea that corporations are escapable is merely a product of living your whole life in a society where governments are strong and reliable. If google started sending out henchmen to break peoples kneecaps, it wouldn't take long for them to be shut down and any of their leadership involved to be arrested, and the idea that kneecapping me is worth that risk to Google is laughable. But realistically google knows no borders, they have direct access to an ungodly amount of information, and the cost of hiring an armed thug would be infinitesimally small compared to their operating budget - if hurting me ever does become a priority for them where could I possibly escape to?

You go to some third world countries with sufficiently weak governments, you'll see plenty of corporations who have no difficulty taking people's rights away.
I think it would be funny if they went to all this trouble only to find that the user used a burner email address and account and posted from a coffee shop or something. I'm sure there's some verification or other PII required to post a review but the resulting headline if the order was essentially for nothing would be notable in and of itself.
Correct, problem is the most productive land isn't always the most profitable. That's how you end up with Maize grown in Western Kansas under dryland conditions.
Who is this 'we' ?

First we consume stuff, then after we have grown so tired of stuff that we can't even fanthom acquiring more stuff we can have a discourse about philosophy.

Learning about the Universe really is philosophy after all.

The only philosophers of that kind that produced an advancement in terms of stuff being consumed are the ones who did it all inside their heads and the only expense they needed was paper and pen (Einstein, Feynman, Bohn, Maxwell..)

They are showing the way by minimizing costs and delivering huge practical benefits.
It would be great if there was a matching service that:

was not upwork or similar - just a simple listing. I don't want to advertise and market, I just want to get a part time job with like 10 hours a week where I fix react components or even per line of code.

does not take a huge chunk of the interaction profit (most of these services want a percentage, I think that's ok as long as it's less than 1% and not exceeding $100)

I'd imagine the person that hired this company would have rather had some moonlighter help him through - $7-8k would have been amazing for someone like me. I'm not really a designer but I can do some limited design work or create backends.
Could you offer to consult for a former employer?
I'll counter that I think they see a lot of long term value with the market having hemorrhaged a lot and that the PE firm is likely sitting on a lot of cash with very few good options in the asset marketplace. If I had money to buy a company that was putting up good numbers right now with growth oppt that would be a fantastic place to park cash.
TLS is transport encryption, not a content signature.

Ideally, I'd like to see every resource being served along with a signature verifying its authenticity, origin, and suitability for public consumption.

Users would then be empowered to make the decision whether we wanted to interact with a resource that does not offer these protections, and assume the risk, or simply refuse to load any resource that doesn't positively identify where it's coming from, who made it, and who certifies it as worthy of your consumption.

I think a lot of the tech founders are CS undergrads haha, so you'd probably literally see their mvp in their git repo.

Jokes aside, oftentimes, the most disruptive technologies are not actually technologically difficult. If we take a look at the early days of mega corps today, most of them found an edge in an emergent market with off-the-shelf tech stacks.

I personally like the way the original web site looks and feels better.

But the tell is in the dollars. Has business gone up since the new site has shipped? If sales go from 45K/mo (or whatever they are now) to 50K/mo with no other attributable changes for a year, then the 46K paid off.

I didn't see anything in the article that addressed what (if any) impact this painful journey has actually done for his earnings.
I work for a company that provides financial services to/on centralized exchanges, but none of us really like the centralization there; even if it's our bread and butter (for now) I think most "crypto people" are more excited about decentralized exchanges.
