The SEC is running behind by about two years. They're still working through the ICO scams of 2019. Here's the current list of SEC "cyber" enforcement actions.[1]

The SEC is mostly complaint-driven. When someone complains their money was stolen, they can investigate. So enforcement actions come during the collapse phase of scams. The "cyber" enforcement staff was recently doubled, so enforcement actions should pick up soon.

The SEC pretty much shut down the ICO boom by sending out letters to coin issuers, "Please explain why your FooCoin isn't an unregistered securities offering." A few issuers filed an S-1 and registered as a security, while others just gave all the money back. We don't see many pure ICOs any more. We do see desperate attempts to make something a "utility token", used mostly for some other purpose than speculation.

I seem to remember that William Gibson spent a few days in Singapore and like most Western visitors to non-Western countries was able to plumb its depths and grok it fully in that time.

Even in 1993 — which was my first visit to Singapore — you could easily find many of the things he bemoaned missing.

It sounds like he stayed in a hotel in Orchard and limited his exposure to what he could see there and in the CBD (Central Business District).

He made zero effort, it appears, to go into the heartlands or to visit Tiong Bahru or the various heritage areas.

To me it is just one more example of the White Westerner visiting the "exotic land", and becoming an instant expert.

Oh, and that running off and catching the next flight out of town. I highly doubt that in those days you would just jump on a plane without a little pre-planning.

Finland also has some interesting doctrine in anti-tank which leads to fun images like [0] of people absolutely COVERED in anti-tank mines or launchers. Part of being next to a much larger country I guess.

“Disney freezes the trapped mosquitos for later analysis” is not a sentence I thought I’d ever read
Would kind of be like FZero in this regard. I think this would be interesting. Interested to see where F1 goes with their power spec. I think they could do with more power, but they will probably stick with some kind of hybrid setup for at least the next decade or more.
This was me when I was a young. My record was 31 mosquito bites in a day. Nobody else in the room was bothered. Now as an adult, my unwanted superpower has disappeared.
What happens if I try this, come to depend on it, and you shut down for some (probably very good) reason? Will I be able to keep using it, or does it die with your severs?

Russia failed their obligations under the agreement that they willing gave up their nukes under, so Ukraine is within their right to seek to acquire nuclear weapons to protect themselves from Russia.

> Yes, eastern Ukraine aligns with R. Western Ukraine hates R. The movie 'Mr. Jones' may enlighten you about the starvation, and the NYT propaganda at the time.

Eastern Ukraine aligned with Russia before the invasion I’m not sure how much eastern Ukraine aligns with Russia now expect for maybe bullets into their soldiers
The Silverstone Esses are about 5.2G in a Formula 1 car, and they repeat that experience 50 times on a racing Sunday. I think Copse and Stowe are very intense G-wise as well.

No wonder F1 drivers have necks as big as their head.
I'm sorry to say this, but you really couldn't be more wrong here.

Electronic shifting has been a huge milestone in cycling. It's better than traditional cable shifting in almost every way.
Yeah, the problem would be the cost. If F1 ever goes all electric you would see this. I suspect Formula E is the test bed to see how close we are getting to viability with electric cars while preserving the F1 format.
Aluminium is also highly recycleable.
Tangential, but local Odonata populations in Prince Edward Island have anecdotally exploded in the last couple of years. The greater region has seen a collapse of bat populations from white nose syndrome over the last decade. The coming of dragon and damselflies in mid- to late summer is a relief to the sanity of many.

The drawback is that relief does not come until dragonflies are in their adult stages, versus bats which would eat mosquitos all spring and summer.
If you have to ask, you don't need it.

There have been many discrimination lawsuits in the past. You're free to look up what the precedent is, and what standard of proof is required to defend against a claim of discrimination. The only thing that would change is that now all groups can claim discrimination, instead of just some.
We rented a houseboat on a lake for a week in northern Canada when I was 6 or 7, and I'm still haunted by the number of mosquitoes to this day. We cut the trip short to about 2 days and immediately went home and I think only visited Canada once after that, despite being a couple hours from the border.
My position is that google is subject to the same laws as physical goods companies, and held to the same standard as they are for product recalls. No more, no less.

I do not claim that some sort of utopia of ultimate consumer protection exists. It does not for google, nor for physical goods companies.
It was an NDP-Government led investigation; so it wasn't a case of the accused investigating themselves. If anything, the NDP had incentive to discover malfeasance.

I live in central Florida near Disney, and I can't remember seeing a mosquito.

They were ubiquitous in the North during the summer when I was growing up but around here they seem to have been all but eliminated, at least in the populated areas.

Now other bugs are everywhere around here. It took a big adjustment to get used to just how many insects there were everywhere and how quickly they'll take hold without proper precautions.

In my experience ticks are a much bigger pest, especially if you like hiking.
Do you have substantive critics of the modelling done?

Because anytime you work with something happening in the future you have to model it.
Spraying is pretty rampant all across Florida yet the mosquitoes find a way.

To your point I don't recall ever being bitten by a mosquito in NYC proper but my parents said it used to be pretty common. I believe I got a few bites on Governors Island once, though.

I am a final-year undergraduate with a double major in CS and physics, and am graduating in May 2023. I am looking for full-time work as a research software engineer or as a research assistant in computational physics and simulations of cosmological and astrophysical phenomena, hopefully with a path towards a post-graduate degree. I am also interested in 3D graphics and real-time rendering.

To double click on the Twilio API example:

In most robotics applications teams are building the equivalent of new speculative phone networks, building specialized infrastructure, acquiring specialized hardware companies to ease computer:phone connections, and running out of money before they can find product market fit for mass texting some sort of consumer.

Sure, they can still integrate Twilio poorly and fail. Or they can build a use case that no one cares about - but at least they won’t need 5 years to get to that point.

The majority of these sites look like they haven't been updated a decade.
I’m not sure how good the propaganda of “we went to capture Kyiv in three days and in 5 months we still aren’t there” is.

There’s a reason Russians flail about nukes constantly it’s because they aren’t having the propaganda wins they need in Ukraine to display to their public.

But as far as I know, there is no corresponding dual analysis. The dual numbers do not form a field.

The issue primarily revolves around elementary functions, compositions of them, and polynomials.
For certain types of decisions, one can safely rely on prior experience. I know to a high degree of certainty that most entrees at a moderate to high quality restaurant have roughly the same value, therefore choosing quickly is best because there's little to discover and little to gain from the discovery. Many aesthetic choices or choices of mere preference are like this. Other classes of issues are known in advance to be both trickier and yield real, effective outcome differences, these are often big life decisions that act as life's value centers, e.g., which house, which partner, which employer, etc.

It's of course possible to be wrong in either direction -- this difference matters though i think it doesn't and vice versa -- but in general, we tend to be pretty good about taking seriously the things that really are serious, but pretty bad at not wasting time on things that don't matter much. This shows up in the paradox of choice, but really just imagine someone hemming and hawing over two brands of cereal in the aisle at Trader Joe's and you get the picture.

So the practical problem isn't really "how do you know until you analyze," because we more often fall into opposite the trap and waste time systematically attempting to optimize choices where there is little value to be gained. We should step back in more cases and remind ourselves that most differences make no difference at all. Save your time and energy for the ones that do.

Very few things can clear this hurdle, and even less so the sorts of things that tend to come up on HN. Very, very few industrial farming topics come up on here for example.

Perhaps a more apt framework would be, "What's the reason someone is giving you money for this product?"
I built a Pi server not too long ago, and had it host my personal knowledge wiki for things that I needed to remember. I was very proud of it.

Eventually though, I realized that having a screen and a keyboard is critical for how I was using it. I may not always have a machine on the network that can SSH into the Pi server. So I eventually settled on using an old laptop instead. Much more performant, and if the network goes down, I can still access the information easily.

Sounds like a wide selection of magazine subscription like Nature, Science, quanta magazine, nautilus, natural geographic, wallstreet journal, and maybe the economist.
An old Agile technique I keep in mind is that if it's hard to decide which design is better, that means they're equally good!

So just decide by flipping a coin and move on to productive work!

Judging from the losses they are taking on short sales, Opendoor seems to have overpaid on the bulk of their home inventory. Ironic to get penalized for deceptive practices, but not actually profit from them.
Hello,
Great question, I haven't seen enough technical details on their system to be able to answer definitely. However, from what I've read of their approach, it's fairly similar to the way we do things.

Perhaps this means there's no reason for Rio Tinto to use us, and that's totally fine. There are 1000s of other, much smaller mining companies that can benefit from the same tech, likely at a cheaper price than what Rio Tinto spent developing their own version.

Also, from our experience, these sort of approaches bake in assumptions on particular vehicle types/characteristics. So even in Rio's case, perhaps they have other smaller models, or other types of equipment they haven't automated. In this case, we'd be happy to integrate with their existing command and control software stack.

> Germany being one of your best examples has put out vaaastly more CO2 than let's say France.

Or look at Spain. 43% renewable power, less CO2 than France, and shutting down 4 out of 7 nuclear power stations by 2030.

The solution to intermittent power is transmission lines, not nuclear.

I still don't understand what executives are actually for.
Some time ago I was at Barnes & Noble with my sister, and I had a look at the poetry section. I was dismayed that, after all these years, the modernist poets still have a stranglehold on the Muses, with their sad, clammy, modernist hands. As if e.e. cummings were a poet merely because his typewriter lacked a shift key, or T.S. Eliot merely because he mistook the carriage return for punctuation. A wasteland indeed! Surely thine eternal soul shall forever suffer hellfire for thy r.h. Sin. Poetry, poetry… “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

half the time if
it’s not got
random line breaks
or indentation
then
people don’t
consider it
poetry
but if it does then
that is enough

and as for the other half—or so very nearly half, like a pie whose pieces have all been eaten but whose dish yet contains stale morsels broken off by the very act of dividing the pie, remnants too small to be considered worthy of taking by any prospective eater now dried by the chill Winter atmosphere and the pale rays of a Spring Sun not yet arrived—any prose bearing any recognizable characteristic of poetry whatsoever, any prose perceived to be elevated on high—how high exactly I cannot say, perhaps as high as the throne of a king or the perch of a songbird or the very heavens hereon—and clothed in raiment of purplish hue—how purple I cannot say, perhaps as purple as the robe of a king or the fletch of a songbird or the very heavens at dawn—but it is this high and purply prose that this half deems poetry.

It reeks of, I realize, elitistry and snobbistry,
but it is, in reality, good ol’-fashioned honestry.
We get such pretension, ostentation shoved down our thirsty throats,
dawn to dusk by marketing and adverts, and PR’s brazen boasts,
that oft I find it stifling, the stench of stagnant shit and piss;
and so to whiff a fresher air, I call it what it is.
Every god and reader knows
there’s nothing wrong with prose,
yet a sentence broken in the midst is
poetic only from a distance;
and have it ne’er a music, metre, rhyme:
your “poem” isn’t worth my time.

We're raising our pre-seed round and a VC just ask me for a data room, I don't have one so now I'm building one but I don't know how much info should I include on it and where should be: Docsend, Google Drive, Confluence, Notion?

Can you help me with some examples?

>[Edit] Yeah, I get that your average stag deer doesn't have access to thermal imaging and neural networks. But this is military camo, not deerstalking camo.

The average grunt doesn't have access to thermal imaging or neural networks either, they might have a crappy Vietnam-era flashlight, their weapon system, and a reasonable compromise between number of rounds and weight as spare mags. Especially when that grunt is a "third world" fighter. Pixelated camo like ARPAT saw the bulk of its current use in Afghanistan and Iraq where the most sophisticated thing the enemy might have is a pair of binoculars and a cellphone.

The pixilation, to the human eye, is much more natural than large splotches of a few colors because terrain/vegetation/buildings in natural light have all sorts of depth and shadow variation, the pixilation is much harder to pick out than fairly large blotches of random color.
I use a custom Semgrep rule for it.
Being nimble is preferred. In the long run you can vertically and horizontally intergrate every available business and infrasture. It will save cost assuming those businesses are relevant. In the short-run you burnt out before those business "expired" or fall out of trend. The trick here is to have the right integration at the moment and expand in the market direction that favors it. Is like friendster and myspace too early to boom. Is like every other zoom-like businesses too late. The west has too high labor cost and seriously shortage of engineers. Countries in Asia like China, Taiwan, and SK churned out engineers like the women studies undergraduate in the west. The business environment in Asia will simply edge out the west. Remember solyndra? Remember GE? Remember Kodak? Upcoming is Tesla. There are so many Asian side EV coming in now.
Work is a type of performance art. Bosses pay to see you suffer. And if you do not act like you are suffering enough, more work will be added to your desk for proper amount of suffering.

1) We are mostly built on ROS (for better and worse) and are starting to migrate some containers to ROS2. Down the road I see an architecture that has some ROS, some ROS2, and maybe some homemade stuff (or maybe even other frameworks).

2) Ilia should be able to give you a better spec overview, but we we’re generally trying to be as stack agnostic as sanely physically possible. Roboticists have really strong preferences when it comes to hardware (often shaped by which components previously ruined demos in their life), and we want to be able to work with whatever you want to work with.

Reach out re:internships! No promises, but now that we have a stack you can build on for free that will definitely affect our decision process!
