> no legal precedent around a case like this as it relates to DAOs and autonomous smart contracts, so a law firm could not have told you anything except "we can neither confirm nor deny."

Have you hired counsel? This isn’t what lawyers do.

Good counsel should provide guard rails. They will say this is novel and that they can’t guarantee anything, but lawyers do that anyway. They’re giving advice, not judgement.

One of those rails would involve responding to credible public allegations around being used to launder money by Pyongyang.
I suppose crypto enthusiasts would argue that this is just a matter of not having reached the tipping point for mass adoption yet (as with electric vehicles, for instance). However, I've heard that since the late 2000s.
you should get the person that will lead me/work with me with on a video call, open up 3 real issues, let me choose one (or more) of them, see how I tackle the problem, let me code the solution (or pair program it), let me google anything I want, and at that point you would know how I work, and I would have a view into what it feels like working for you

then (or instead) we might do the opposite: I should have a project on github (or similar) that you can look at beforehand, let you pick an issue, etc etc

if the issues are 6 hours issues, the commitment is on both sides: the company has a team member spending those 6 hours too
Not everybody who lives in Venice is rich, but it is rapidly becoming that way. There are a fair number of longtime residents who live modest lifestyles. But they're discovering that they can sell their houses for umpteen gazillion dollars, and thus this article.

It's kinda unfortunate, but Venice has basically been a museum of itself for centuries. It stopped being a world power and became a curiosity in the late 18th century. It took until now for tourism to ramp up from "part of the Grand Tour for British lordlings" to "cruise ships bringing tens of thousands of tourists per day".
Of course there is, there are negative suffixes for that, see a grammatical overview here: https://escholarship.org/uc/item/83v8d1wv

Given this C code:

int foo(int a, int b, int c, int d) {
return a * b + c * d;
}

LLVM gives you a single total-ordering of all operations in this code, which makes it appear like computing %5 has to happen before %6, but in reality it doesn't - they could be swapped.

define dso_local i32 @foo(i32 noundef %0, i32 noundef %1, i32 noundef %2, i32 noundef %3) local_unnamed_addr #0 !dbg !7 {
%5 = mul nsw i32 %1, %0, !dbg !18
%6 = mul nsw i32 %3, %2, !dbg !19
%7 = add nsw i32 %6, %5, !dbg !20
ret i32 %7, !dbg !21
}

Java's IRs instead tell you that %5 and %6 need to be computed before %7, but don't apply an ordering between them otherwise. They can do this because they use a graph of instructions, not a linear list of instructions.

Bad people can also work in groups.

> I do not think arresting developers is an effective solution for preventing money laundering.

You're essentially reducing his role to "Just a developer" while ignoring that he might be a lot more than just a developer and might be involved with actual money laundering at many different stages of the process other than "Just writing a little bit of code".

Im not defending one side or the other, just pointing out that by ignoring everything else and calling him "Just a developer" you're not being objective.
I am curious what the situation is where the recovery log grows to large size and what the actual consequence of this would be.

I support the government silencing people causing egregious harm (which the government has the burden of proof to prove). “Fire!” in a crowded theater. Calling them out and providing the truth doesn’t work. Ask the 42 year old who tried to break into the Cincinnati OH FBI office and is dead after a shootout with police. There is a significant amount of the population where there is simply no inoculation against conspiracies and other incoherent reality models.

> I explicitly said it might very well not be the only one.

Actually you didn't. Perhaps you claimed that in another thread, but I quoted exactly what you wrote in this thread, which is that only DM can explain those results.

> Since Occam's Razor tells us to go with the simplest solution, science goes for DM, instead of DM+MOND.

That's not a correct formulation of Occam's razor. Occam's razor tells us not to posit the existence of more things than are necessary to explain observations. Observations already tell us that DM either does not exist, or doesn't exist in the amounts most people think exists, ie. most DM models have been refuted. Therefore, even if DM exists, something else is still needed to explain our observations.

>, then it doesn't seem like it should be much different to take half a day to work on an interviewing problem.

But a lot of companies use the multi-hour coding homework as a preliminary filter before asking the candidate to take the "next step" to the half-day onsite interview.

The coding homework is asymmetric work because the company doesn't have to expend their existing employees time on prospective candidates. In fact, a lot of companies let recruiters coordinate the coding homework so their existing employees spend the least amount of time on it.

The onsite interview is more symmetric effort because both the interviewer and the candidate have to expend time together. There's a bit more commitment on the part of the company doing the hiring.

I'm not complaining. Just stating how the different perspectives play out.
Are you avoiding mentioning ETH/cryptocurrency things because you're unlikely to integrate them, or because it's not super popular to talk about that right now?
A perfunctory search shows there are over 20,000* cryptocurrencies in 2022. Saying that 3,000 (15%) are interesting|transformative is a bit of a stretch, especially given that over 19,990 of cryptocurrencies are in complete obscurity for the general public: if a coin is interesting|transformative in a forest with no one to hodl it, how interesting/transformative is it really? Sturgeon's law should probably be amended with "90% percent of Sturgeon's law examples are crud".

* "As of July 2022, there are 20,268 cryptocurrencies in existence. However, not all cryptocurrencies are active or valuable. Discounting many “dead” cryptos leaves only around 10,953 active cryptocurrencies." [1] — 15% of active cryptocurrencies in 2022 would be ~1,643, the point still stands.

Governments define the line.

Relevant questions would include:

- How core to the illegal money laundering is the use of your product? (For a leather wallet, probably not very).

- did you target illegal money laundering in the design of your product, or market your product so as to specifically attract illegal money launderers? (Almost certain not for your leather wallet).

- is the use by criminals to launder money a significant portion of your sales (or use of your services) (probably not).

- are you actually aware of your product/service being used for money laundering? (Maybe?)

- if you are aware and there is significant use of your product/service for illegal money laundering, have you taken reasonable steps to prevent or discourage such use? (Given you flagged North Korean money laundering as your example, such steps could include: Blocking access to your site from North Korea, refusing to ship to countries that don’t enforce sanctions against North Korea, investigating if small tweaks to the design are possible that would make your product/service less useful to money launderers without significantly reducing its usability for other people).

This isn't open source privacy code. Whether or not someone else does something bad with it isn't relevant.

Until you can face what it really is, you aren't going to come to terms with what's happening.

This is like making unlicensed guns that don't follow safety or tracking regulations, then complaining "but I'm not the burglar, I didn't kill anyone" when you get shut down.

This is and always has been the obvious explicit purpose of this code. This has nothing to do with "privacy" and you don't actually legally have the right to hide your financial transactions besides.
I know I will get a hail of downvotes for this, but again you're comparing apples and oranges. The operators are using crypto for a wide range of applications. Using a mixer has probably 99.9% illegal reasons and 0.1% legitimate uses. Making money laundering harder is a good thing, no matter how many people here will try to convince you it isn't.
I don't think the argument has to go both ways. Blockchains can be indebted to some prior art in distributed version control systems without being similar or identical to them, and without those DVCSs being blockchains.

This has been a problem since the White House announced they were working with Facebook and other social media companies to ban people for “misinformation” and later when the White House created a Disinformation Board that was only in place for a few months before the bad publicity got it shut down. It should be no surprise any platform has misinformation, even Wikipedia or your encyclopedia is not the end all be all of truth and there shouldn’t be expectation random people on these sites aren’t pushing their own beliefs. I don’t know a single person who believes Facebook is the best place for research despite claims that it’s the primary cause of misinformation. Politicians themselves are famous for lying, in just one example, the “if you get the vaccine you can’t spread the virus” was very widely spread at the start and espousing the opposite of this statement would get people banned from social media sites for saying so, despite later being found to be false regarding these specific vaccines. It is arrogant to think that 1. people are too stupid to debate amongst themselves to let the good information rise to the top and 2. that the person in charge has all available information. It’s like imagining because your CEO is in charge of your company that they always make the best decision. It’s delusional that being in power should make you any more correct, even if there are more resources available to them, increasing their odds of being correct. It should be obvious my opinion, but social media should stay out of the business of determining what is and isn’t misinformation and especially at the governments direction. It was done in the name of “saving lives” but in a world of 8 billion people, how many lives did being incorrect and forcing bad information to be the only allowed information also cost? I doubt more lives were saved than cost by the misinformation management done by social media.
A tacit request for action is not a demand. The government is allowed; nay encouraged! to make recommendations based on perceived threats, which it doesn’t even sound like it went as far as being a recommendation, just a “tough question”. Analogizing this to a monarch putting a hit out on someone is an appeal to the extreme.

No. That's what all the coin people are thinking.

Many within the executive branch could not deal with the fact that there were alternate opinions to theirs. See the Fauci emails for example:

This is an interesting case because it's applying financial law to a decentralised cryptocurrency operation. If research shows that Tornado was indeed processing a billion dollars of criminal funds then I'm not surprised arrests have been made even though it may be hard to prove actual involvement by the network operators. These numbers come close to the fund processing capacity of a small financial institution and there are

The points about DAOs are also interesting. DAOs have no central authority or elected leadership. Setting up a DAO should not be enough to get out of legal responsibilities of running a financial institution, but people voting in DAOs also shouldn't be treated like CEOs because they have very little actual power.

Conviction in this case might have a serious impact on decentralized crypto schemes. DAOs are a great technical workaround for not having a direct kind of leadership but the real world doesn't care about fancy technical solutions. Someone sets up a certain system and that someone has the responsibilities that come with setting up such system. If that service a free website, the responsibilities are extremely limited; if that service is a financial institution, your responsibilities become more serious.

Re: "this is just a dev", the dev also presumably ran the software they created, and with a seventh of the processed volume being criminal funds, it's almost sure that they operated on dirty funds at some point. Even if the developer's role in the (suspected criminal) DAO is considered insignificant, this might make the dev a money mule as he temporarily stored stolen funds in their crypto wallet. According to Dutch law, money mules may be prosecuted as complicit with fraud and any other financial crimes that take place.

One might defend the cryptocurrency operators by claiming that they can't verify the identities of their customers to comply with money laundering regulations, but that only underlines the illegality of the system: if your system isn't capable of complying with the law, you shouldn't operate such a system. It's like claiming you don't need seat belts in your cars because you can't figure out how seat belts work: your lack of control or creativity is not society's problem.

With how overloaded the courts are, it'll take months or even years to see the impact of this arrest. Whatever the outcome, it'll have a big impact.
I didn’t know this was the root of the ‘do not want’ meme. TIL. If I was to translate bootleg copy of Star Wars I think Darth Vader was probably trying to express ‘幹！’

Hongkong has a _modest_ social problem related to freeing unwanted pets into the wild. There are numerous billboards and buses adverts warning people not to do it.

On the other hand, there is very real urban legend of a salt water crocodile that was captured in early 2000s in the Hongkong wild. It was hunted for months. Authorities have no idea if was a release, or travelled from nearby (more tropical) region. Read more about Pui Pui on Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pui_Pui_(crocodile) She is even on show at the Hongkong Wetland Park. But if you want to see salties in the wild without too much effort or stress, you can do that in Singapore at a wetland reserve near Kranji.

Because even when you find nice clothes the sizing is often difficult. Thrift shops are often like a gold mine (I do recognize that normal shops often have similar problems depending on one's taste). Not everyone wants to mine.

This wouldn't actually help in common workloads, because the instructions that already exist are typically better than what you can achieve with microcode.

The reason for the RISC revolution was the understanding that there are fairly strict limits of what you can achieve in a single instruction if you want your cpu to be fast. An instruction that does some complex task that you need done is not really going to be any faster than composing the same action out of RISC instructions because, thanks to pipelining, the limiting factor on the speed of your cpu is going to be the actual work anyway.

Microcode on modern x86 cpus is typically slower (takes longer to output uops, outputs less per clock than the uop cache) than simple instructions, and only exists for legacy and doing some complex operations (like context switches) where being uninterruptible and having a bit of extra scratch space is useful.
No, but I have heard blockchain boosters say that blockchains are "kind of like Git!" Of course, "kind of like" doesn't mean anything like "equivalent", but it draws upon something established to legitimise something that's not.
Magic: The Gathering is an interesting case. On the one hand, there's a crazy amount of data in terms of win rates on Arena and MTGO, as well as popular cards in a given format (especially EDH with EDHREC). What a computer cannot do is win games, or analyze a deck based on its oracle text and tell you what can win. One of the more interesting facets of this (to me) is watching the prices change from spoiler season to a few weeks/months after release. Fable of the Mirror-Breaker was less than a dollar when Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty came out, and it's over $20 now. Tiamat, from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, was over $25 after the set was released, now you can get it for around $10-$15. (Price has a lot more information in it than just game utility, but its desirability for gameplay is still pretty high in the list.)

For as uniform as, say, the standard meta is, it's still based on player consensus and behavior, not computer analysis of game mechanics or simulations of games. Turns out player consensus is still pretty good. I don't know if you could moneyball Magic.
