The tweet is very low information for me to comment. I can't tell whether these people contributed to Tornado cash before/after the sanctions were in place.

I think a fairer analogy would be, some devs contributed to signal, signal or a derivative of it got used by North Korea/Terrorist/current enemy of choice of the political class. Do we go around and delete the developers GitHub accounts?

Having never used tornado.cash or much of crypto (apart from making some money doing spot trades) I can't comment on what the good use cases are. Here's a sample thread of Vitalik claiming to use Tornado.cash to donate to people in Ukraine https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/155692560223356928.... I can find some other threads like this on Twitter.

This is just another case of Government choosing "security" over privacy and should be scary to folks on HN than be cheered upon.

As a side, I am not sure whether Tornado.cash was marketed specifically for "bad" use cases. In the example below I'd support the DoJ in fining & imprisoning a software engineer for his visit to Pyongyang https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-citizen-who-conspired-assi...

The Scene in Seoul After the Flooding (Gallery)
If Linux were a focal point for enabling North Korea and Iran to develop nuclear weapons, then yes, sanction the hell out of it. But sanctioning Linux would have such dramatically negative societal effects that it would outweigh any benefit - the same is not true of a mixer. Mixers in my view have absolutely no legitimate use, their exclusive purpose is the enablement of deviant behaviour in one form or another free of societal accountability, and it'd be a red flag for me just to know someone used one regardless of knowing why they used it.

It's like saying the local brothel can't be shut down because the building could potentially be used to teach the word of the lord while the employees aren't otherwise busy. The exclusive purpose of the brothel's existence is enabling trafficking and sex work, and the benefit of any potential imaginary supplementary uses are grossly outweighed by the benefit to society of closing it down.

Sure they "should", but they're often not offered... even if you insist.

And more often than not, the alternative options available take weeks of phone calls and visits to the local (if you're lucky to have one) branch office of your /whatever service failed you/.
Not sure what you mean by free. But there are time time frames where you are barred from refinancing (not within 6 months of closing on a mortgage - including the refi, so you are in a timing the market kind of situation), and the fees (appraisal, closing costs, origination, points, etc.) that go along with refinancing are usually pretty steep.

Think people who think this is a job will be deluding themselves, eventually the magic of getting a good image or a bad image will just be a set of known good styles it generates at the start that you can then pick and choose from in the backend invisible to the actual thing you type.

To shed some light on the somewhat unusual controls – there are some additional considerations I had to make that don't necessarily exist in other similar RTS.

1. The fact that it's all in the browser doesn't allow for panning the map with mouse-over-edge.

2. People often play the game with mouse and keyboard AND typing code at the same time, so the controls had to be tailored to minimize conflicts

3. The whole idea behind the current manual controls UI is to highlight what is possible to program for the players themselves. It's not 'technically' part of the game, it's just an injected html/css/js so the players can edit the controls to whatever would feel more natural (and add new buttons or completely change the mechanics).

But you are not the only one highlighting these issues, so I'll think about how to make it more intuitive and abide to conventions as much as I can.
Ask HN: How to make a native GUI with a modern language?
HN has strong opinions against Electron so here are my requirements:

- I want to make a native looking GUI

- Cross platform (macOS, Windows, Linux)

- With a sane language (no C, C++ or Objective C)

- Ideally with a data flow looking like unidirectional data flow / Elm architecture

What options do I have?
But it is frustrating because boomers are basically the law makers and voting majority in 2022.

I have driven nothing but standard shift vehicles (now referred to as manual) until my present 2010 CRV that I got in 2019 (nearly two decades of driving) because my wife complained about always having to drive if the family wanted to go somewhere together. I test drove a manual Jeep Wrangler yesterday and was grinning ear to ear. There is nothing that helps to create the link between driver and car in quite the same way. There is a romance to it. It is completely unnecessary these days, but it is also a simpler part that requires less maintenance, and comes with a slightly lower price in Jeeps. Personally, I do not see the standard shift dying as long as Mazda makes the MX5 and Chrysler makes Jeeps. The drivers of these vehicles demand them. Personally, I die and laugh at the same time every time I see a sports vehicle of any kind in automatic… You spent how much to be a passenger in your own vehicle exactly? (I know it’s inaccurate but this is a completely subjective thing)

For me, an automatic is just a great way to make me not care at all about a vehicle. I enjoy driving. I love driving. I love vehicles. I love the engagement and the control provided by a standard shift. I love driving through the mountains, windows down, beautiful scenery. Each turn brings the joy and thrill of discovery. I am linked to my vehicle and we operate as a single unified being.

EDIT: I also regularly sit in bumper to bumper traffic for an hour or so and manuals still never bothered me.

For miners operating in the US, I’d like to see sanctions violations cases if they mine blocks that include transactions for Iranian (and other sanctioned) entities. This seems straightforward to me. Frankly I’m quite annoyed that my democratically elected representatives’ sanctions regime is being undermined by Americans interested in a quick buck from wasting electricity with their PC.

Tornado cash is not money laundering. It just isn't. Please stop claiming that.

If it were money laundering, you would be able to purchase a house with the money you made from drugs and then mixed through tornado. You can't. It's indistinct from having cash you made from selling drugs.

You still need to create a fake business to launder your money the old fashioned way if you want to have a legitimate origin for your money. Tornado does not launder your money. Claiming the origin of your money is tornado and nothing else is akin to claiming the origin of your money is cash you found on the street or something.

Tornado is just an anonymity tool.
Old school valuations are based on NPV discounts of future cash flows. That obviously includes profit, but also all the other factors around growth and drag along. You'd never get any of the valuations we see today based only on x'ing profit, even for the oldest of old school businesses.
As someone who remembers the latter part of the Cold War, I can tell you that the actual inefficiencies of the Soviet system were significantly underestimated in the dominant Western narrative.

Your ideas about Soviet industry appear to be based on some ideology rather than familiarity with Soviet culture. I can't think of one single book that gives a good overview of Soviet engineering, but some good ones to start with might be Graham's The Ghost of the Executed Engineer, Gerovitch's From Newspeak to Cyberspeak, and Idov's Made in Russia: Unsung Icons of Soviet Design. I think most of the really interesting examples are in military technology, but unfortunately I don't know any good books surveying that area.

Even if there was a "good old days" of manufacture in the West when products were always designed to be as efficient and durable as possible, that is different from what I described in the USSR. Since quality of manufacture was usually terrible, Soviet designs could not demand close tolerances in manufacture and had to be considerably over-engineered to avoid catastrophic failure from manufacturing defects. The USSR was also chronically short of equipment, so for things deployed, long life and resistance to abuse was more important than polish.

Part of the problem, likely a major part, is the first world has to go and stop the emerging world from emerging like they did. Europeans who clear-cut europe to industrialize into a first world society are having to go tell Brazilians "You must stop cutting down the Amazon!", preventing them from industrializing.

Basically: Rich people telling poor people that they cannot do the things that make people rich.

> modern financial capitalism has squeezed redundancy out of everything

If by "modern financial capitalism" you mean "customers who prefer cheaper to superior quality of product and/or service", then I agree with you.
My wife and I learned on manuals and thought it would be fun to return to one for our car, back in 2013. Well, it was fun for a few years, but then I switched jobs, and my daily commute had regular bumper to bumper traffic. That sucked the fun right out of it.
> Blair sold the whole thing off

Yes - no arguments from me that this was anti-intellectual. I'm not saying that the Conservatives are the only anti-intellectuals in politics or that they always have been. I'm just saying that anti-intellectualism lies at the heart of their current ideology. Blair was not as ideologically distinct from modern conservatism as Corbyn or Starmer.

> argue around various definitions

I really feel like I've stuck to a single, commonly understood meaning of anti-intellectualism, and tried my best to keep the focus on this in order to clarify what "nonrandomstring" was talking about.

> Hold your contrarian views if you must.

I don't think they're so contrarian. If I search duckduckgo for "anti-intellectualism in UK politics", the top results are:

What's a pain about it?

If it's a matter of creating cards one by one, instead of in bulk, I would argue that's a feature rather than a bug. Consider it extra study time, especially as creating a good card makes you think about the topic more.

Otherwise, card types/templates are your friend.

It's not over yet, but we can already see a lot of trees are struggling to get water. I'm from the North-West side of France, where rain is usually frequent, and this year all I'm seeing is dead trees alongside roads and fields.

I guess, I'll be growing drought-resistant trees now.
It's weird. The hosepipe ban has literally only just happened, and for a while they used to be almost yearly. I've definitely seen the park grass go this colour before - it certainly isn't the first time.

I'm not disagreeing it's hot, and it's much more consistently hot than I remember from previous summers. However the GP suggests impact is noticeably different to usual, and i'm not sure that resonates so well.
E2EE and onion routing protocols use similar cryptography to "mix" and "obscure" inputs and outputs. It is very much the same approach, just that we don't call it "message laundering" because we as society have come to appreciate private communication.

I would tell you to just look at the Tornado Cash code yourself to verify this, but alas...
Of course, working at home is socially isolating and requires a different approach than working in the office... but _maybe_ this just means that some people are better suited for remote work than others, and workers ought to choose a job that allows them to work in the office or invest more in other types of socializing.

Of course, there are more opportunities to goof off at home... but _maybe_, if the work is still getting done in the hours people are working, the remaining work is performative and unnecessary and you can decide to either take on more meaningful work or examine your internalized guilt about Never Working Hard Enough.

Of course, it may be easier to concentrate when you're afraid of someone "catching" you not working... but _maybe_ if you're unable to work without fear, you ought to examine why that's the case and seek better sources of motivation.

Of course, the fact that at least some work is performative and unnecessary makes managers and executives believe this untapped "productivity" is being stolen... but _maybe_ it ought to be pointed out that overworking people leads to lower productivity overall and there's a lot of empirical evidence to suggest that even 40 hours of work a week is too much.

Of course, cities are emptying out and this may be bad for local economies based on a captive class of office workers... but _maybe_ a local economy requiring millions of people to spend hours of their lives each day migrating away from their homes isn't exactly sustainable.

And on and on...

I work for companies based in New York City. We had to move 2.5 hours away from NYC to find a home that fit our budget. If the powers that be want to continue to allow the costs of education and housing to double every 9 and 15 years respectively, they'd better allow us to move where we can actually afford to live ~or~ pay us what we need to house, feed, clothe, and educate our children.
>no way every parking place in the basement parking is getting a dedicated charger.

Why not? 50 years ago, the same probably would have been said about putting air conditioning in every unit in an apartment. 100 years ago it might have been bathrooms. Why can't we have a charging cable at every parking spot?

>So, eating out for $50 per person and an hour to eat and quick-charge, instead of stopping for 5 minutes at the pump ?

Did you miss most of my post? That was in regards to long distance road trips, where people are stopping to eat several times per day anyway.
When I and a friend use E2EE between us neither of us are helping to hide a criminal's conversation regarding their criminal activity. The same can not be said about a mixer. They are not at all equivalent.

Speaking of snowy roads, it's also easier (in my experience) to get a car with a manual transmission unstuck in the snow because you can quickly alternate between first gear and reverse and rock the car.

Obviously wouldn't be an issue for people who live in warmer climates, though.
That said, if the good-ol'-boy-ism exists, wouldn't you prefer it exist in the hands of a group of disparate individuals chosen (mostly) at random?

I'd prefer that situation over it solely existing in the hands of a few police/judges/etc. with incredible power in deciding the future of the lives of those without power.

How does providing information have anything to do with placing blame?
You're being downvoted but you're absolutely right. QE was a policy of very very dubious merit already in 2008, and by the time the pandemic ended it was still going (and after Mar/2020 it went into turbo mode). The economy has NEVER went back to normal after 2008; in many regards we're still in the aftermath of the 2008 catastrophe.

The inflation was perhaps "triggered" by covid and the Ukraine invasion, but it was not "caused" by it. It was caused by monetary policy designed to keep asset prices inflated (and shaft the working class as a side-effect).
You're correct. I tried to make a point but I went too far with it.
> Why can't we just be in the middle.

Or adapt to what the current situation demands of us. Sometimes I do want to get up early, go for a run and work a 12 hour day.

Sometimes I want to stay in bed until 9am and mooch around not getting much done.

No two days have to be identical.

If you're talking about needs for work, then that's reasonable to ask, once in a while. As long as it's genuine needs and not just preferences.

But if you're asking your coworkers to regularly come in to work to meet your social needs? No. That's your responsibility. If you can't meet those needs at work, then you need to find other avenues outside of work to meet them, or find a different job where more of the people have the same expectations as you regarding the social nature of work.

You are also a member of society, and need to help ensure that your coworkers' needs are being met. You don't get to demand that they all sacrifice time, money, greenhouse gases, and mental energy just to help you feel like it's still 2019.

> what money laundering even is

Hiding illegal gains.

> crime happened before the laundering and that's what we should be preventing

Covering up a murder is a crime because we don’t want people helping murderers cover up.

> like this where innocent people are going to get screwed over because they utilized a tool that criminals utilized

People who used Tornado Cash aren’t getting screwed. Even the developers aren’t. They aren’t personally sanctioned. Their work, which has been used to launder money, is.

Third parties, like Microsoft, are choosing not to associate with them. (The developers who knew about the laundering, e.g. through the public announcements law enforcement made, and kept working on it are far from innocent.)

> doesn't even begin to touch on the vast majority of laundering that happens in fiat across international banks

Yes, there are other crimes.

People laundering money through banks get sanctioned and jailed. When banks make a habit of laundering money, they too get sanctioned. There is ample historical record of all of this.
