Fraud can be a state or federal crime, "wire fraud" usually means it is at the federal level because of its use of interstate electronic communications.

Mail fraud is similar. If you send someone a letter, you're using the US Mail system and thus are involving the federal level making it a federal crime. If you exclusively use a private interstate letter carrier (FedEx, for example), you are still committing mail fraud because the law was amended to cover that.
Let's admit the true problem of crypto is allowing sociopathic nerds to act as if they will not face consequences.
Like most things Google/mobile, Apple did it, so they had to follow suit.
In layman's terms, wire fraud is committed when one uses a financial transfer in connection with or to defraud others.

Nowadays, it's very hard to commit financial fraud without also committing wire fraude.
I don't think there is any suggestion that a platform such as this has no practical uses. I think their point was that this particular implementation looks more like a motivated amateur rather than a professional manufacturer.
I'm with you, I have two Macbooks I deeply regret buying because at this point they just sit in a pile unused because they are just so annoying to use.

I'm in the market now for a replacement for my old 15" thinkpad that I've been using but just haven't really found anything. I seem to be in some weird middle ground that nobody caters too because everything is either 13" or 16".
Love to see crypto people discover laws the hard way.

“Doesn’t really help me further, other than it just being ‘fraud’.” Shows a correct understanding of what wire fraud is. It’s an incredibly broad category, meaning basically any fraud that happens at distance that doesn’t involve a physics means of communication like mail.

In this case, because the trades were made via digital communications, it’s wire fraud. The reason you hear “wire fraud” so much is, as you might be able to guess, the vast majority of fraud these days takes place over the web.

In this case the indictment is “wire fraud in connection with a scheme to commit insider trading”. So it is both wire fraud and securities fraud. Generally speaking, the relevant information will be whatever specific fraud they are accused of committing over the wire, and not that it is the incredibly generic term wire fraud.
They could verify that it's a real person without knowing which person.
I think the Berk partnership led to Amazon care (and probably this).
Well, it has to happen at some point, right? Considering the fraud and scams are so blatant and obvious?
Curious what others think of the icon progression? There was an article a week or so ago about how all cool/crazy/distinctive logo designs trend to boring sameness.

The end design looks like something I'd expect to see on the Delta app I download when I fly and promptly redelete afterwards.

My person favorite, for reasons I don't understand, is the center icon in the first column. I don't know why. I just like it's distinctiveness.
And yet the story is about a fraudster?
What could they do though? Ask all employees to provide their personal wallet addresses then monitor that? Seems unlikely to happen.
>This will be instantly defeated by benchmarking the js performance.

How common is this behavior for non-malicious websites that a Lockdown mode user is likely to use? It seems to me that if you're loading malicious content from a site controlled by foreign intelligence services, you're probably done whether Lockdown is enabled or not. Preventing more casual profiling from common logs likely to be strewn about in CDNs, etc. is still an important level of protection, I'd argue.
> Counsel should recommend what works. New York’s courts work. But they work slowly.

Sorry, I was using a different kind of "should" - you were thinking of the pragmatic, I was speaking philosophically. In a hypothetical, just, efficient, utopian society, I think that world would be a better place if lawsuits were judged and enforced more consistently and more quickly, and if people in that society chose to avoid using public embarrassment as leverage to circumvent the courts. Obviously, we don't live in that world, so the pragmatic approach is to use the tools that are most functional. I wish that we could change our actual society to conform more closely to that hypothetical one.

First, the same problem applies to service names like "Galactus" or "Buttforce". Second, a descriptive name is not the same thing as a service description. A descriptive name or label is as much a mnemonic device as is is a name. They're intended to be easier to remember, not to replace proper documentation. Third, just from the names it looks like Text Service is the front end for an ecosystem of texting related services, reach of which is implemented using a different technology. Though twilio and telephony look like especially bad names for services behind a texting service.

Thanks for reading!

>I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how the website couldn't just be pure 90's HTML with some CSS sprinkled and google js in.

Oh, how I wish it could just be 90s style HTML and CSS! I'm forever trying to get back to that.

The website is a static site, but it's built with Gridsome[0], a now-defunct Vue-based static site generator. I wanted to be able to write blog posts and documentation on the site in Markdown, and Gridsome was the easiest way I knew to do that, but in retrospect, it was a big mistake.

And there shouldn't be that much JS, but there ends up being an annoying amount for managing the shopping cart. At first, I just had buy buttons that took you directly to the Shopify checkout page. And then I added support for buying a quantity other than one. And then users kept asking for a way to support VGA, so I added VGA-to-HDMI adaptors as an optional add-on. And so a shopping cart seems like the kind of thing that shouldn't be that complicated, but there's been a lot of complexity over the years. If I had to do it over again from the very beginning, I'd have just made it a Shopify template.

>How did so much schedule / money go to "refractoring"? Were they doing back end work like integrating with the mailing list or revamping the store logic or something?

The refactoring was mixed up in the theme migration. We had a lot of code that was like `class="header-image"` and then a CSS class would add a bunch of CSS rules. They didn't like that, so they spent a lot of time rewriting the CSS to use more utility classes like `mx-1`. That way, they can change things at the theme level, and it filters down into all the elements without having to change each class. I think it was a useful refactoring, but it wasn't worth the cost at the time.

It's easily solved with markets: Charge a carbon recapture tax equivalent to direct air capture of 150% of the product's greenhouse emissions. (This is affordable; it'd end up being about $1/gallon of gas tax.)

Getting our corrupt government to actually do that is another story, even with > 60% of the population calling for drastic, urgent action.
> but all wild places everywhere will be destroyed

I don't know about that. Forests are coming back in Europe and North America. As people get richer, they value those things more. Population will peak by the end of the century and decline for a while after that. At that point people and animals will have a lot more breathing room.

We can put a price on nature now and start paying for conservation. Places like Costa Rica also offer really useful paths forward. A lot is possible if people who care don't give in to despair.
I dunno... It seemed to me that the 9/11 attack came from Saudi Arabia and if we were going to invade some country it should have been that country.

There was a third critique of the war that was roughly: (1) there was no evidence for Iraqi "weapons of mass destruction" and (2) it was likely to turn into a protracted struggle with irregulars as it did. The ironic thing was that the war might have been winnable if they had made any attempt to involve both Shias and Sunnis in running the country but instead we spent $2 trillion to install the regime that Iran wanted.

From my point of view it was not about pacifism or war in general but about that particular war being a bad idea.
It is a shared good that benefits all participants for a market to be efficient. Insider trading reduces market efficiency.
The US has significantly more cultural and economic cohesion than the EU, and there's a good chance it won't last my lifetime either.
There is no constitutional basis for the filibuster. It's just a rule the Senate invented. And they can un-invent it. Whenever the new Congress forms, the Senate Majority Leader sets the rules for that Congress. This includes the number of seats on committees and so forth.

What you have is Democrats who hide behind "institutions" as an excuse to do nothing and Republicans who quite literally will change the rules whenever it suits them. Examples include:

1. Firing the Senate parliamentarian when he blocked the Senate from advancing Bush tax cuts;

2. Deciding completely without basis that with 11 months left of Obama's term, it somehow wasn't proper to hold a hearing or a vote on Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court; and

3. Deciding that any nomination (not just judicial) couldn't be filibustered (Harry Reid had previously changed the rules to make Supreme Court nominations filibuster-proof).

But what is the filibuster? Up until I believe the 1970s it was a process where a Senator who had the floor could refuse to yield and keep talking to block a vlote as long as they could keep standing. This is real "Mr Smith Goes to Washington" type stuff [1].

This Senate refused to change the rules on this so here we are. Two proposals have been made:

1. Eliminate the filibuster entirely. It's pretty much only ever used to block progress (eg by blocking civil rights legislation in the 1960s); or

2. Require a Senator to actually filibuster by going back to the old system of holding the floor and refusing to yield.

Both of course failed. Why? Because the corporate interests that own Manchin and Sinema don't want that because that might allow some form of progress, all under the guise of institutionalism. But this is a post-facto justification. I guarantee you the second the next Republican president holds office and the Republicans hold a majority in the Senate, the filibuster is gone.

The current rotating villains of the Democratic Party couldn't even bring themselves to bypass the filibuster to pass legislation to protect voting rights, which shouldn't even be controversial. But of course it is controversial because voting rights might endanger the red wave of voter suppression.

None of this has to be the case. Schumer won't go nuclear on this either because Schumer represents the interests of Wall Street.

Even more fun, my primary care office billed a visit to insurance under the PAs name, so insurance treated it as a specialist. So they tried to charge the higher copay… had to get them to resubmit with the doctors name, despite not seeing them, to get the cheaper rate

That said, my experience with pa vs md hasn’t really been that different, they all just follow the same flowchart

I'm taking an educated guess, try:

sysctl user.max_user_namespaces

I'm guessing it's "0", which means user namespaces are disabled on your system. This would be an effective mitigation against most of these namespace exploits. If you type "unshare -rT" you'll likely get a "No space left on device" or something instead of a faux-root namespace shell.

Perhaps it's "pretty silly," but I would not authorize my health data to be shared with Amazon, and now it shall be against my will.

Losses Define Epidemic of ‘Pig Butchering’
Mail/wire fraud is simply fraud that was conducted using mail or other communications platforms.

Insider trading is specifically about rules around trading securities.

In this case the allegation has nothing to do with securities trading, it's about an employee defrauding their employer by misappropriating privileged information.

Interesting paper on how audio affects productivity and wellness.
They've got a bunch of completely independent regions. So they've really scaled their Rails monolith to handle 100s of millions or less a day and get to a billion by having 10+ regions. Which is obviously still good but not quite the same.
Agreed, while the answers are usually in there (somewhere, which is better than most documentation), it can sometimes be quite difficult to find "that page you saw in here once".

I experienced this first hand when I first started doing timed coding interviews and didn't prepare my DRF environment. Rookie mistake for sure, but it really emphasized to me that things can be difficult to find in there unless you know exactly what you're looking for.

Reasonable accommodations.
This is a value judgement. If you find crypto to be unfair, there's a very simple solution that doesn't require bringing in guys with guns to deal out punishment. You can simply just not participate.

In an ideal world we could get rid of insider trading, but selectively punishing people just makes the problem worse and with so much of congress dominating the market I think it's quite clear the punishment is selective and itself incapable of being fair.

It is much worse to give the illusion of fairness than to let people freely choose whether the "fairness" of some market is enough to justify participating. Of course, this is just my opinion.
It's definitely not when you're risking your livelihood.

Total comp for a mid level PM is probably north of $400k, so this is less than 2 years salary.
Those are agencies.

You can find recruiters that will clip a small fee and dump you through a contractor management platform. It's all automated. You're effectively a freelancer, still need to sell yourself a bit to get hired but the recruiter vets leads on both ends to streamline things.

Contracts are short and sweet so it's not like interviews are multiround or anything, 15 minute coffee with the client to check if you're aligned on stack / interest and off you go.
Bingo! Found the reliable Beanie Babies comment in a HN article about crypto :)
Yeah, I'd love to hear a lawyer's opinion on this. Seems to open a door for an appeal if a US judge is applying foreign definitions and litmus tests to US companies/citizens. At the very least, there are nuances that judges will not pick up when evaluating foreign law.
Oh Sheet: Convert Spreadsheets to Internal Tools
I guess I don't disagree. I've switched between pro-EU and pro-Brexit positions over the last several years so I do get where you're coming from.

If you're optimising purely for economics then I don't think there's any question that remaining in the EU would have been the right decision. And yeah, I agree that sometimes compromise is just the cost of doing business.

The mistake you and a lot of remainers make though is to think Brexit is primarily about economics. Most of my family are on benefits and literally couldn't give a damn about what's in the best economic interests of the UK. I'm not saying that's right, but it is what it is. The problem people from my background have are more related to the social impacts of mass-migration and a lack of economic opportunities for low-skilled workers. From what I could understand that's why most of my family voted Brexit while most of my colleagues and university friends opposed it. I suspect the things that impact mine and your quality of life are different from that of my family.

I do think there's a place for an EU-like political entity that can set trade standards for the continent to encourage cross-border trade. The fundamental issue for me is that the EU as an organisation seems to be heading in the wrong direction. I'd personally prefer power to be more localised and closer to communities, where as the EU as an organisation seems to believe the trend should be in the opposite direction, towards ever more centralised power.

And they have a point.. If every nation state operates by different rules that's not good for multi-national corporations. But perhaps that's okay. Or at the very least it seems to me there's a trade off here. If there are things we can all agree on then it makes sense to have common rules, but enforcing agreement via a political union (or via any other means) generally isn't stable when opinions are too diverse. We see this even within the UK as political entity, but historically it's also clearly been true.

I guess what I'm saying is that perhaps what you see as economic costs have benefits which you might not appreciate as someone who largely agrees with the politics of the EU. It's like arguing to a Scot who dislikes the politics of Westminster that they'll be slightly worse off if they vote for Scottish independence. I think they get that, but they probably see the political opportunities of an independent Scotland as more important even if it comes with an economic cost.
The only goal of a company that has billable hours is to rack up billable hours. If that involves building an amazing piece of work, then that's fine. But if it can be done by blowing off the client and feeding them bullshit, then that's fine too. I watched consulting companies bilk literally millions of dollars out of a household name company by simply lying to people that didn't know any better.

I really respect your philosophy of assuming people are honest. I used to be that way, too. But after working with contractors and consultants and people overall, I think most people will do what they're told, while others will actively game the system. I've found that if you're tough in the beginning and let them know that you're not to be gamed, then you won't have any issues. Business is business.

In any case, "Isaac" was completely full of shit. He knew exactly what was up. He approved all those hours - especially the dev hours that were spent on nonsense bugs.

I know I sound harsh, but I believe everyone can excel if you get past their bullshit and accept only their best.

Don't know how things are done in Texas but I know in Alberta and BC most construction projects have a prequalification stage so while the lowest bid usually gets the job everyone that bids has already demonstrated they are capable of handling said project.
Tell HN: You can't hire because you don't post salary ranges
At the start of this year, Colorado has changed to require every job posted to list a salary range. Other states are also beginning to follow suit.

I am currently job hunting. I started looking locally, everything lists salary ranges, perfect. I can know which positions to skip and which ones might be a good match right away. No need to waste time with 7 rounds of interviewing only to find out the salary is 50% of what I currently make.

Now I've begun widening my search to remote work, as the idea of commuting to an office in 2022 is completely insane to me.

Most jobs on nation-wide job boards do not post a salary range. I will not even click on those job postings. It's simply not worth it.

Further, after seeing so many positions listed _with_ salary ranges, when I see one without a salary range it makes me feel like you have something to hide and are trying to trick me.

So the next time your team starts discussing why you can't seem to hire, maybe ask if you are publicly posting salary ranges on these positions?

> maybe we should think a bit selflessly when deciding to invest in science

It's not selfless. Most people have children and or grandchildren. It's extraordinarily selfish to want to see such personal, long-term investments flourish; investing into the macro future well-being is a great way to see to that. Cultures obviously don't always act rationally toward the distant future, some do though and we know from history (eg Norway's sovereign fund, to name one prominent recent example) that it can pay off spectacularly.
Not if there are enough people acting paranoid.
