You need to remember that Coinbase is a regulated entity like other financial institutions and TFA clearly mentions that the insider was part of a small set of employees that had access to info that the rest of the employees did not have access to:

> Beginning at least in August 2021 and continuing through May 2022, ISHAN WAHI was a member of a private Coinbase messaging channel reserved for a small number of Coinbase employees with direct involvement in the Coinbase asset listing process. The private channel was used to discuss, among other things, “exact announcement / launch dates + timelines” that Coinbase did not wish to share with all of its employees.

outsourcing is usually done so leadership has somebody to blame if their idea fails. Same reason companies like McKinsey exist, usually some exec just uses them as the way to actually implement what they want without directly fighting via internal company politics. If it succeeds, they take credit. If it fails, blame the contractors/consultants
There's been a lot of shakedowns and refurnishings in the crypto landscape lately. The US seems to catch or point fingers at people left and right. Why is this happening now all of a sudden?

If your knowledge is privileged an non public, and might reasonably impact share prices either way, yes it is illegal.

But it will be considerably easier to run the DOS version of WordPerfect on macOS.

This WPDOS page describes 4 different ways to run WordPerfect on macOS:
http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/wpdos/sitemap.html

1. Use the vDos emulator to run WordPerfect for DOS.
2. Use the DOSBox-X emulator to run WordPerfect for DOS.
3. Run the freeware WordPerfect for classic macOS under SheepShaver or QEMU
4. Run the Windows version of WordPerfect via WINE.

To which, from another comment in this thread, I would add:

5. Run an Apple ][ or ][GS emulator and run the freeware WP for Apple ][.
if wealthy chinese did use to evade currency controls, it sure is trackable with all those YKC rules, not to mention a completely open ledger. China could easily find anyone who did that. Fiat is much better for evading currency controls.

Even the Pope had to keep Michelangelo focused on the Sistine Chapel and not wander off to work on his tomb.

Not that it matters in this context but wasn't it the other way around? Didn't Donato Bramante try to sabotage Michelangelo by convincing Pope Julius II to give him the Sistine Chapel comission, assuming that Michelangelo would fail (due to his lack of experience in fresco painting) and ruin his reputation in the process?

So Donato Bramante was more a consultant recommending an overpaid design agency hoping to benefit from their failure.

I'm sorry, in the nicest possible way, this is complete nonsense.

Governments can, will, and have printed money to pay their debts. Indeed, for sovereign currency issuers, debt (or whatever) is just an accounting measure. A certain amount of material wealth is collected by government in the form of taxes and redistributed back to society in accordance with the policies of the day. Debt and other financial instruments are just to smooth the process.

When you state "Fiat" currency, you are probably referring to USD or Euros. Fiat currency in other countries like Venezuella or Turkey has much different status.

Basically the entire US environmental protection community takes this approach with just a few outliers like TNC.

You just want to trade a monopoly on violence for a market of violence, and for some reason you believe that would make you safer. But you're making the common mistake of assuming that corporations won't simply fill the power vacuum themselves in the absence of a government capable of stopping them.

Government power is the only thing stopping corporations from exercising violence against you or take away your rights. Look at the way corporations operated in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when they had company towns and private armies coercing votes and killing strikers, or corporations' support for coups and cartels in foreign markets, or just the East India Trading Company, which was a de facto superpower of its time.

I run an software / creative agency in South Africa (creationlabs.co.za) that works with clients ranging from tiny to large corporates. What I've found is that the direction of the blame very much depends on which side of the fence you're sitting. One the one hand the client blames the agency for being opportunistic, while at the same time the developers get frustrated at what may seem like a never-ending list of unreasonable expectations.

That's not to say that this is what happened here, but in both situations the problem comes down to a lack of effective communication.

The agency here should have communicated from the start how many hours they can reasonably expect to spend on each phase of the project with the given budget, and then provided continuous updates to allow Michael to understand how much time he had remaining to complete the project. Opaque processes, coupled with a lack of transparency and communication is how projects like this leave a sour taste, or worse, fail entirely.

On a personal note, I'm gobsmacked at both the hourly rates as well as the total project hours discussed in this article. A website like this should have taken a fraction of the time. And if outsourced to a professional team in another country, a fraction of the price too.
Thanks for sharing your story; as a developer/designer (more developer than designer; love C, no love for JavaScript), I hear stories such as yours practically everyday.

What I really wanted to say is that I love your aviator gopher and the designer should have at least taken a shot at incorporating your gopher in the logo.

I mocked-up a negative space [almost] one-colour logo with a close-up of a stylized gopher nose and teeth wearing aviators on a CRT green background with a brighter green cursor reflecting in the glasses. That ties in your history for continuity, modern pilot with aviator glasses, a cursor for remote control, and the green background as a nod to the past.

Growing up on green and amber CRTs, I'm a huge sucker for retro designs, and try to incorporate Rand Paul's philosophy wherever I can, which captures the essence of a company in a clean and easily recognizable design.

Edit: here's just the gopher for the curious: https://imgur.com/a/OEk8IUL

I know you're half joking here but there are more consumer-affordable versions like the Geforce RTX 3090ti ($1600 for 24GB). It may not do CUDA work as fast as the A100 but it'll be able to run the model.

For the half-precision version at 7GB there are a ton more options (the RTX 3060 has 12GB for example at ~$450).
> Just when I get used to a layout, they pull out a new design, completely disorienting me.

Honestly, I feel like the only way of working around this is having multiple different interface options available.

For example, the new Reddit look is more app-like and certainly has improvements to the user profile pages and whatnot. Yet for certain types of browsing content, or wanting to do it without your browser slowing down as much, the old interface is still available:

https://www.reddit.com/
https://old.reddit.com/

Many out there will stop using the site the day when the old interface goes down and for now can just use the old one despite the new one being available - thus allowing them to stick to the user experience that they're used to.

Of course, not many out there want to deal with something like this on the development side, such as CRUD systems that would need to move fields around, add new business process steps etc. There, maintaining two separate versions would be a massive pain.
Here's a snippet to showcase my style:

> a motivated class of individuals looking to protect their wealth from institutional redistribution

You are giving way too much credit. They're not on the defensive of protecting their wealth from "redistribution", but rather on the offensive of extracting ever more wealth away from those in the productive economy. Economically, this is done via printing new money and financializing the lives of the plebs.

"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury."

This quote is usually levied at voters personally, as a condemnation of social programs - the same induced "culture war" to distract from the grownups' looting. The quote is actually much more applicable to politicians (of both costumes) promoting the policies paid for by big capital, which has consistently succeeded at getting itself ever more corporate welfare - stock market bubble, housing bubble, healthcare trainwreck, defense spending, covid giveaways, etc.

>>"is there now is unbounded spending across Euro countries with no end in sight"

That's simply not true. Just look to the data. If it was true, you would see grow in those countries. And also look to the difference in economic indicators between the countries that are in the € and those that are not. Being in the Euro is not so good deal like they try to sell us.

The "whatever it takes" didn't saved Italy or the PIGS, it saved the €. And it was a direct monetization of public debt that it's against the treaties (at least in spirit).

Think about it, in order to save the €, the ECB had to go against the treaties that define the Euro. If that don't tell you that the problem is the treaties and not in specific countries, nothing will do.
Or, more likely, they intend to lose but also expect to take advantage of America’s rather unique legal procedures with expansive discovery powers (you can discover nearly anything in America) and, probably more importantly, the losing party doesn’t normally have to pay for the winner’s fees. The latter part is what I would do when trying to send a message to employees not to speak out: "do this and we will make you hurt even if we have to go international"
I turn it back on too.

This seems like a “designer run amok” kind of thing. Someone with power decided it was “clutter” and you don’t really need it except when scrolling so they removed it despite all the very real downsides.

I keep hoping they’ll go back (like natural scrolling) but I realize that’s unlikely.
You can protect land for habitat, and you can preserve existing stores of carbon, but any notions about nature being a carbon sink capable of offsetting fossil fuel use are best discarded. Take a look at UK energy consumption (it's mainly gas and oil these days, with most coal phased out):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_the_United_Kingdom#/...

The only carbon solution is figuring out how to not need fossil fuels for energy, because there's absolutely no way biological photosynthesis can make more than a tiny dent in that figure.

I'd also look at Canada's abject failure on the 'natural carbon sink' front. Their idea was that Canada's pine forests would somehow serve as an offset for Alberta tar sands fossil carbon emissions (among the highest in the world, as they use gas to melt the tar to process it into syncrude for refineries). Climate change however increased temperatures, leading to pine beetle outbreaks and fires, and those forests became net atmospheric carbon sources, not sinks:

The best choice would have been to curb climate change, yes...but we are materially beyond the point of no return now. We could maybe give one more generation a better life with cuts, but putting a team together to find answers to big questions is much much easier than to make billions of people change their actions. It is far more efficient.

That's an age-old question. "Should we solve other problems besides what we think are the most important problems?"

One problem with answering this question is that we don't know what avenues of research will produce important outcomes. Historically, we have been very bad at it. The mathematicians working on group theory in the late 19th century had no idea how important it would be to 20th-century scientists and engineers.

Spaceflight, in particular, is an important part of the specific problem of solving climate change. Imagine trying to understand climate change without the use of satellites!

I'm pretty sure that you don't even have that defense in the UK. I think the standard for defamation there is that you made the statement with the intention of harming the reputation of the person you made it about - even if you believe the statement to be true (or even if the scientific/historical consensus believes the statement to be true), and if you believe that their reputation should be damaged because of the thing that you believe to be true.

So the best (UK) defense seems to be to claim that you incidentally harmed someone's reputation with information that you believed to be true, while attempting to do something other than harming that person's reputation.

So NZ seems fairly progressive in comparison.

It has actually become somewhat cultlike. I watched someone on twitter get completely torn apart for asking the very reasonable and scientific question: "What will we learn from this telescope?". They got absolutely demolished, people going through his tweets and personal details and making fun of him. I decided to ask a few of them what new stuff we expect to learn about the universe using this new telescope. Only one person managed to answer me, and they were not one of the people to mock the original guy.

My impression is that people don't have a clue of why we want to do this, in fact, a lot of them explicitly seem to think that the high-res image in the press release was the main point. $10b projects don't get launched simply just for the reason "why not?", they have purpose and intention behind them. It is an interesting look into how the general public relate to science, compared to how scientists relate to it. For a scientist, "why are we doing this?" is one of the very first questions you would ask, not something to be mocked

EDIT: I want to point out that I am a physicist and technically an astronomy (GW interferometry) myself, so I know that there are answers to these questions. I just think that it's interesting how not only do people not know the answers to them, but they think it is rude to ask. I can't reply to comments, as I'm rate limited.

Even in the fast fail case it would help if it told you which constraint failed. In the example from the readme it says the row failed validation, but not why.

How many factory or construction jobs does "hard-science" funding create? I love science but defense invests in the entire "stack". It creates factory jobs but it also creates jobs for basically every STEM field.

The only thing that comes close is if there were some green arms race where we are funding and building wind, solar, nuclear, fusion, etc.
