It is not clear to me from that what the relationships are between company A, the EU subsidiary (which I'll call S), and the US cloud provider (which I'll call C).

1. Would A be dealing directly with S, or is A dealing with C which is using S to store A's data.

2. Is S incorporated in the EU?

3. Does C have access to data stored in S, other than data that C itself put there using the APIs that S makes available to all its storage customers?
Easy? Maybe.

Sane? Absolutely not.

Though I suppose it's not really Node's fault that developers are importing modules like "leftpad".

What's really fucking insane though is that there are modules like "trim-newlines" [0] that exist merely to trim \r and \n from the beginning and end of a string...and that this is such a hard task to get right that it's in version 4.0.2...and that a previous version had a security vulnerability [1].

Yeah, I'll defend buying one lottery ticket, even a few per week, but more than that and you very quickly cross the line between "Fun Fantasy" and "Math Tax"
Do you have examples of freight becoming unstable due to military actions and not supply constraints? The de globalization thesis makes sense but I don’t see examples of regional powers flexing their muscles causing supply chain problems, at least not publicly.

I suppose Russia is an obvious example in the EU but are their other examples?
The empirical question is what are the chances you (or a loved one) gets hooked on openly available drugs, vs violent thugs kidnapping you (or a loved one). If the empirical chance of 1st is 10x-100x higher than the 2nd, then perhaps we should focus our social efforts on limiting drug availability.

Edit. The world is imperfect, and it will always be imperfect. There is no solution, and especially no government policy, that can possibly make everyone's lives perfect. Maybe, asymptotically, an individual aspiration to sainthood / life well lived / nirvana / etc.

In the social media era we have lost the concept of tradeoffs, of minimizing harm. We are compelled to attempt to completely eliminate harm, which is impossible.
That doesn't seem right. They link this diagram in their docs that show the parts of the contract that can be controlled by governance: https://viewer.diagrams.net/?highlight=0000ff&edit=_blank&la...
Fun fact: PCs used to come with nearly all this information. Full schematics, manufacturer specs for the CPU and other important chips, all in the Technical Reference Manual. The same with Tandy computers: provided you could source the components, you could build your own Tandy 1000 or 2000 with the information in the manual.

It's an absolute crying shame that computers do not come with this level of documentation anymore. It's not even available. There are probably parts of your computer that the "intelligence community" goes to great expense to ensure you know nothing about.
one of the examples given in the article is torture.

That growing backlog is a big issue with this type of scheduling. I think it's one of those almost "unexpected" side-effects of spaced repetition. I mean, if you did the math up front, you should know generally how busy you're going to be over the next few weeks based on how many cards you're reviewing per day, how many new ones are coming, and how you're scoring with each card, but it's not really something people do, nor does the UI show you that.

I wrote my own spaced repetition app (see my profile) and one thing I experimented with is an "ETA" function which goes through your deck and tells you how long before you learn everything "well enough", where "well enough" just means the intervals between all cards is at least some fixed threshold, like one month. I was surprised that even with a few hundred cards and a fixed number of cards reviewed per day, it would still take a few months.

I haven't added the ETA feature yet, but if I do, I think I would need to make sure to show the user how adding new cards affects that target date, and also how reviewing more cards a day or fewer cards a day affects it. I think there's a way to design a nice UI so users feel like they are in control of that end date so they can choose if it's worth it to add new cards or not.

I think a spaced repetition app should also make "falling behind" not feel catastrophic. I think memorizing a smaller set of facts consistently is better than trying to memorize a larger set and then giving up, and an app's UI can probably help to that end.
I definitely have the same experience trying to get C++ game dev libraries running. Trying to wrangle a bunch of open-source library dependencies into mutually acceptable versions whilst also keeping up with (intentional, or unintentional) operating system breaking changes is a never ending steeple chase.
No? "Money laundering is the process of concealing the origin of money, obtained from *illicit* activities such as drug trafficking, corruption, embezzlement or gambling, by converting it into a legitimate source." [1]

If the funds you're shielding via something like Tornado were legitimately earned by you, it's your right to do whatever you want to protect your privacy (as long as you report the proper tax paperwork to the government, otherwise it can turn into tax evasion).

There probably is something to the point that whitespace languages need more context to know what is going on? Moving code, in particular, is a bit more tedious with it. That said, I'm curious why anyone would think it can't be just as "mechanical."
They cover this in the article -- while some underground evil organizations might not care, there are also companies like Palantir. They work with the government, they probably want to avoid any legal headaches where possible.
Telekom and Microsoft partnered together a long time ago to fix this problem but it turns out in european public comunal and state procurement projects that cloud offerings play a very insignificant role since its largely all on-prem IT projects and so that partnership was closed.

I'm just writing this because a lot of comments are getting the wrong idea from this and causing some weird mix of hysteria and europhoby. In the grand scheme of things, there is no money lost for Azure and AWS, the potential of the once in a full moon cloud projects from public european institutions wouldn't even amount to something that would be described as pocket chance.

I've never had a card with an annual fee, honestly never really even considered it. I am FLOORED people are willing to get one that's $550. How does it work, if I go to sleep on 12/31 with a $0 balance, do I wake up on 1/1 owing $550?

Then you won't ever use raw bitcoin.

You'll continue using a service that obfuscates their use of bitcoin and lightning, like you do now with services that obfuscate their use of Fedwire and SWIFT. They'll provide you with consumer protection services, either for a fee or in exchange for harvesting and selling your data, like they do now.

I'm not suggesting that everyone is going to use raw bitcoin and have to manage their own keys. I'm suggesting that nation states and corporations (and many individuals) will all rebase their money operations on an open network, digital protocol. Bitcoin.

Anything that exists and is uniquely distinguishable from other things is an entity. I didn't mean a corporate entity or government entity, I meant an entity on the Ethereum network in the form of a smart contract.
The only time that matters is when a card-network-level dispute fails. The vast majority of fraud gets resolved at the card network level and would be the same on a debit card. The only time credit-card-specific regulations come into play is when a card network dispute fails - in this case with debit cards you're SOL, with credit cards the law forces the lender to eat the cost.

But again, my point isn't that there currently aren't any advantages to credit card, but rather that those advantages are purely artificial - there's no reason they can't apply to debit cards as well if there wasn't an interest to preserve the status-quo.

>What even is GH required to do in response to this sanction, or are they just being overly cautious since we’re in uncharted waters?

Letter of the law is don't do financial transactions with those addresses.

The quiet part is: this technology is now associated with being a channel for money laundering, and will open up any parties hosting or making it available a potential subject of accessory to wire fraud/money laundering charges. As a publically funded company, I assure you, the legal, risk, and compliance departments are now erecting 100 foot poles between the company and this project.

You see, big business and government have a bit of an incestuous relationship. The bigger the market actor, the easier it is for the government to apply sufficient pressure where the easy way out is for said large actor to just "stop associating with that thing".

This is why OFAC is aptly named. You end up on it, and you basically fall out of the economy. The last sound you hear is the subject in question going O, FAC-<signal lost>.

Oh, actually, no, slight exaggeration, the truth is far more chilling.

You see, financial institutions will still process deposits. They just stop allowing withdrawals, turning the business relationship into a one-way trap for funds.

In theory, it may be possible to get off the OFAC list if you end up on it, however, financial institutions are instructed not to inform customers that they are sanctioned if asked. You're only told that a technical error precludes them from completing the transaction. If you mistakenly show up on OFAC, (like by sharing a name with someone who is on it), there are ways to get off of it by providing proof you are not the individual in question. In fact, most times, if you reach out, the service personnel you get are trained to get as much personal info as possible to try to determine whether or not you are actually the individual targeted by OFAC.

Companies will generally dig into it, and resolve it while playing coy. In this case though, it looks like businesses are taking the message to heart and just noping out of supporting it.

Most of the python packages are honestly... kind of terrible to maintain. Sure, it is easy to whip up a python script to answer your computational question, but maintaining that is extremely hard - as evidenced by the shear number of abandoned python programs written by graduate students that can no longer be run. I used to care about building things quickly, but now I just care about maintenance of things. Maintenance in computational biology is awful right now.
To be fair, between the two dialog boxes in the example, the one that says “not shared with third parties” is a stance not taken by the “thees”.

So ok, rules for me, not for thee: “Thou shalt not redistribute customer data outside the first party firm the customer trusted.”
Well, if you delve just a tiny bit into the source material, you see that they use evil as a shorthand for "perfectly legal things that a plurality (if not a majority) of people have absolutely no problem with but that they do", like immigration enforcement - in which case, some legal maneuvering might actually help them, although I personally consider their goals to be more evil than the uses they're trying to prevent.

While this is a true statement, I don't remember NTP client being on this list.

SuperMicro only wants a license for a online BIOS update, HP/HPE wants money for iKVM to a running OS[0] and some features making sense only in enterprise environments, like AD integrations and Dell's iDRAC... well I haven't used iDRAC without aN Ent. license for a decade, so I can't bet my $5 on the feature set.

Overall, most BMC implementations does have NTP client free of charge.

[0] You can have any time you need to install OS. You have a one or two minute limit in already running OS. Enough to for the troubleshooting.
I'm a fan of, "is this going to a user, or to another part of the calling program?" If expecting it to go to a user, exception make sense. Need to bubble it all the way up to the part of the system that is closest to the user.
Libertarianism requires someone empowered to use force. The idea of multiple competing law enforcement apparatus within the same jurisdiction is not just theoretical wankery, either; it's actually been tried. Most notably in the Icelandic Commonwealth, which endured for 300 years.
> That's it folks. The market has been cornered by a couple guys and it seems the regulatory barriers have been lifted high enough that nobody can enter again. Remember when MasterCard/Visa used to send these cards for free without any KYC whatsoever?

It’s a fundamentally hard market for anyone else to enter because Mastercard and Visa basically have natural monopolies.

The value that both Mastercard and Visa bring to the table is:

1) if you’re a bank, most merchants accept their cards

2) if you’re a merchant, most banks provide a card from one of them.

So any new network has the classic chicken and egg problem. How do you convince merchants to accept your card (and potentially additional payment processing terminals) when none of the merchants customers have the card. And in the inverse, how you get a bank to invest in integrating with your network, when no merchants accept your card?

The EU tried to force a fox on this issue by creating EuroPay. Which ultimately failed and was bought by… Mastercard. But on the upside, part of the purchase deal require that Mastercard provide “at-cost” access to its network for a new card network to piggy back off, to help solve the above chicken and egg problem. But atlas’s, even that doesn’t reduce the barrier to entry enough, especially when coupled with the EU rules capping maximum interchange fees.
This article makes the mistake of conflating open source and free software. Open source software may be distributed under licenses that prohibit use by orgs/industries that the developer finds unsavory. But the resulting software is proprietary - not FOSS.

> I'm not sure how it's unsafe, but regarding accuracy I'll point out that a modern AK with a decent barrel is much more accurate than most people think.

We were qualifying at up to 300 meters (and training farther) with iron sights with the M16 and M4 in the US Army. I've fired two AK-47s, one was the Czech version, the other I'm not sure of, and neither was able to consistently hit anything past somewhere around 150 meters. I'm sure with a little bit of work and upgrades those AK-47s might be shooting better, and I understand there are more modern variants, but I have no experience with them.

Edit: Just want to add that I compare with the M16 and M4 because those (and variants) are what I'm most familiar with. Also, there may be other comparisons that matter more for the expected use than ability to hit targets at 300 meters with iron sights.

Still not finding this a persuasive argument. If there are such people, they are an insignificant proportion of both poor people generally and the prison population particularly.
When considering license measures for this purpose, remember that evil people don't care about software licenses or copyright. So if your license inconveniences good people to "hurt" evil ones, you're probably screwing up.

The person making NFTs of Uyghur prisoners, for example, definitely doesn't care about whether that action was legal and didn't go secure likeness rights or check the license.
If you're deeply concerned about who uses your software and for what purpose they do so; "open source" isn't what you want. You want a real commercial license, even if you're not charging money. There's nothing wrong with that, and no reason to try making "open source" attempt to conform to moral stances.

I'd say that the core value that open source serves is the notion that sharing our thoughts is better than not doing so. That is enough of a stance to take. People can agree to that even in the face of differing values in other areas.
I know. I wasn't actually expecting to hit front-page. Trying to reinforce it best I can.
It may seem inane if you assume that the only purpose of the sanction is to prevent the money from being transferred.

It could be that they have enough parallel information that they know who controls these addresses and they're just waiting for someone to violate these new sanctions :)
It does not. "Open Source" and "Free Software" are pretty much synonymous, with the difference between them being mostly political rather than practical (which doesn't mean that the difference isn't important, it's just not what you think it is). If the software isn't Free, it can't be Open Source. Consult the definition for more details: https://opensource.org/osd
You can use whatever no-evil license for your open-source project, but if you want your project to be FOSS [1], you can't. If you restrict your project from being used for evil, it'll violate the basic freedoms that proper Free licenses grant to their users.

Russia’s stories about the rise of fascists raping and murdering civilians in the Ukraine are true. They’re doing this in America as well. Not that I defend Russia’s actions.

A merchant can't discriminate, but the payment processor, credit card network, or issuer can under several conditions including "an immediate fraud threat." Virtual credit cards being used to violate contracts could very well be considered to be a fraud threat.
I would like a world where the people producing the technology and the people using the technology feel like they’re on the same team. It seems like today the point of big tech is to abuse people just enough that tech can squeeze maximum value out of them without them quitting.

But then there are platforms like mastodon, which obviously have their problems but what they do have going for them is that the point of the system is to make the tech useful, not to abuse people. It seems to me the difference between the two is profit motive.

I still long for a world where no one has to work for survival. Where food, shelter, clothing, computing, transportation, medical care, and communication are all provided for free through collective ownership in a highly automated economy. In this world, more people could volunteer for things like mastodon, and fewer people would feel the need to work for places that abuse the users.

10% is an excellent win. And given that I consider the first code snippet to be effectively nonsense, the right trade off is obvious to me. :)

I bet if me and you sat down with a big codebase side-by-side, I could convince you that the style you're proposing is totally unworkable.

Now, whether it's worth it to use unsafe and elide bounds checks is harder. The gain I showed here is small, but it can be bigger in other examples. It depends. But it is certainly less clear. It helps that this is probanly the easiest kind of unsafe to justify, because you just have to make sure the index is in bounds. Other types of unsafe can be quite tricky to justify.
A relevant adage that has stuck with me is "a bad implementation of a good abstraction means you'll just need to rewrite all the parts that are poorly implemented. A good implementation of a bad abstraction means you need to throw away the whole project."
