Per the letter, probably want to point out the cease and desist was due to "Potential Violations of Section 18(a)(14) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act"

Also the conditions of the cease and desist also say they should make no additional dishonest statements regarding FDIC insurance, which is in no way restricted to tweets.
It's only been 20 years since Sinbad starred in this movie? I would have guessed closer to 30.
If your primary consideration is that it's generally available on a random developer's machine, what are the options? IOW out of the box on OSX and the major Linux distributions, and readily available on Windows.

Python is pretty safe, but your code would have to work with both 2 & 3 and not pull in any external dependencies. And recommended practices have changed so drastically on how to install Python over the years that a random dev could have theirs in a fairly weird state.

Perl would work, but hacked-together Perl has the similar drawbacks to hacked-together Bash, especially when it's me doing the coding.

Ruby has problems similar to Python.

Make & awk have problems similar to Perl & Bash.

Therefore my latest rust package contains bash scripts.
Just speaking personally, but it's the social aspect. It's simply fun (subjectively, of course) to head to a brewery with some coworkers, after work, hang out in a cool environment, and sip beverages that taste good. If I lived in a bubble to maximize life expectancy, I expect I'd look back with some regrets.
What does "managing" mean ?

I am not trying to be argumentative. But there are a lot of
arguments in this thread basically going straight past each other

My two cents are

- user proxy (product manager)

- standards enforcer (linter)

- resource gatherer (arguing for resources from other managers)

- political actor / representative

- mentor / coach

Now, most of not all of these are also things everyone says one should do for one's own career.

I am just wondering, what do most managers bring to the table other than neat hierarchy drawings? Is it basically a nice coach like role?

How much power should a coach have?

This is the way. It's the direction a number of projects I follow / help have gone, and it's improved a number of things dramatically. Robustness is the biggest win, but you can also turn off a bunch of noisy webhooks (looking at you, Shopify) and not worry that you'll end up missing things.

The UK was one of the first countries to introduce GSM-EFR which used the ACELP codec at 12.2 kbit/s for phone calls. The quality was actually pretty good.

I don't really understand why phone call fidelity hasn't improved since then. Sometimes it seems like it's even worse!

Seriously? This is like a huge NO-NO here... like asking a woman if she's planning to get pregnant and stuff like that.

> there may be a greater intelligence at work in the Universe

He believed that there may be two greater intelligences diametrically opposed to each other and vying for control over the universe in order to remake it according to their own preferences. He expressed in his interview in Metz, France 1977[0] that he believes they are engaged in a constant struggle of programming and reprogramming the universe and history each trying to undo the others work. He connects this idea to his novels The Man In The High Castle and Flow My Tears The Policeman Said both of which involve alternate timelines. He even thought that he could retrieve memories of other timelines or other incarnations and that some of them were in worlds that were much more brutal than our own.

All this to say that his belief in a higher power certainly followed the same lines of thought that he explored in his novels.

Horseshit. It's literally not NIST's job to design a "dual system"; the project was to standardize PQC constructions, not whole protocols. Everybody that deploys PQC anywhere is going to deploy "dual systems". This complaint is like claiming NIST is corrupt because they didn't standardize an authenticated key exchange along with SHA-3.

A magnificent and triumphant 'Nothing'.

Just a regulator telling an exchange to remove a confusing tweet. A false alarm to collect impulse upvoters who read as far as the clickbait headline.

So it's business as usual and no major investigation or breathtaking slam duck billion dollar fine this time.

Move along now, nothing to see here.

EDIT: So what I said isn't true and the tweet was not deleted? The misleading tweet in question has been deleted. As instructed by the FDIC:

'We hearby demand that you cease and desist, and take immediate corrective action to address these false statements, as more fully set forth below.'

FTX were caught by the regulators, they complied and that is that. There are no investigations, fines, lawsuits, or any grand trial of the century that you thought you were looking for. This ain't it.

The regulators are doing their job and the system is working.

Tabnine has been doing this for years longer than copilot with more users and better ratings. Not a monopoly (except that MSFT has so much marketing clout). The LLM space that we build on has gotten much more diverse after MSFT bought OpenAI and closed collaboration for many industry participants including ourselves. (We used to run on GPT2 but changed to an agnostic strategy that can use any LLM when MSFT would not let us use GPT3) Take a look at the new innovation with T5 from SFDC, AI21, Google, Meta all building powerful models.
Transparently we need your help in ensuring that this is not a monopoly.

I have a QuNexus, by Keith McMillen Instruments.

It's pretty good for a small-pad portable keyboard — velocity sensitive, with per-key aftertouch in two axis (pressure and tilt). Oh, and the keys light up.

Pretty much same size as the Korg Nanokey / related kit. FWIW, I'm not overly impressed by the build quality of the Korg Nano stuff — the case plastic is cheap, and can easily be twisted / bent, by hand or in a bag, then holding its new shape pretty well (so it doesn't sit flat on the desk, until one bends it back). But whatever: it's dirt cheap compared to KM's stuff.

Since I bought my QuNexus, they've released a reduced feature version, that does not have CV — called the K-Board. I'd probably have got this if it had been available when I was purchasing (I have no need for CV myself).

Most people of healthy weight would feel shame about their bodies if they got obese. They maintain healthy weight partly to avoid that shame.
We should’ve split Ukraine with Russia and made a new state, and avoided a potential war with a nuclear power, since Ukraine destroyed all their nukes after listening to pacifists. Ukraine BTW spent the cold war manufacturing hydrogen bombs to drop on US cities, so really who cares who wins so long as we don’t get involved
My family dog growing up was taught to hunt song birds by their mother. I don't think I've seen something so cute as a mother retriever crouch walking through the brush with 8 little pups in tow.
> The real question is where the hell is the open source hardware?

Agreed. I get so angry every time I think about the amount of Verilog and VHDL that will never, ever get released even after the companies responsible for it die and even after many years have elapsed.

Where is the 3Dfx VSA-100 source, for instance? What technical advantage could it give NVIDIA now? They purchased 3Dfx twenty years ago!
I was given a single report once. Then a couple months later I was told to fire him. Apparently that's the reason I was given the report. Mgmt sucks.
Yawn…

Strawman argument.

I just want to read a damn article. Why does it need to download hundreds of resources from dozens of origins? Reading a PDF article on my desktop touches exactly one file, the PDF. Ok, maybe some dylibs from the OS related to PDF rendering. But surprise! Browsers already have everything built-in for HTML rendering! No need to download an HTML rendering engine, because it’s already there: it’s the browser!
The article says he "removed" the AirTag from the luggage, i.e., that he knew what it was and hoped to prevent being tracked, but it was too late.
A lot of people don't realise that Shazam is built into iOS. You don't actually need the app. Just ask Siri "What's playing?" and it will start to listen.
Imagine driving to a computer store in the late 70s or 80s, and buying a floppy disk in a stapled plastic sandwich baggie with some Xeroxed documentation stapled to it for $20. In 1980 dollars.

I was pretty happy to buy this app this morning for $8 2022 dollars - the current price of an ice cream cone.
No that's a terrible idea which would damage the mortgage market. Your scenario is unrealistic. Mortgages aren't actually sold at "fire sale" prices unless the borrower has already defaulted and the value of the property has significantly declined. A debtor in default is unlikely to be able to refinance, even for a slightly lower balance.

Mix ups with selling mortgages or servicing rights do occasionally occur but they are rare and impact relatively few borrowers.
> "We use git because everyone else does" is the definition of cargo culting

I disagree with this, and Git isn't even my favorite source control system (Mercurial is). Using the same thing everyone else does has very clear benefits: new hires will already know how to use it, most CI/CD tooling out there expects it, StackOverflow will have more posts about it, you'll be able to fork libraries from GitHub and host them locally without having to migrate source control or use two systems, etc. etc. There are lots of reasons to use the same tools as everyone else besides cargo-culting.
How do you accidentally make false statements about customer funds being FDIC- and SIPC-insured?

It's just not plausible to me that this wasn't an intentional attempt to mislead about some pretty darn fundamental properties of the investment scheme.
I'm sure many people are trying. On a slightly related note - I wonder what the market effect would be on bitcoin (and possibly crypto as a whole) if anyone managed to transfer money out of the wallet, would it crash the currency?
Can you elaborate how your business was crushed by iOS14?
A lot of body builders (even clean ones) are not healthy at all. 270 pounds is 270 pounds, whether it's fat or muscle. And 270 pounds of muscle is harder on the heart.

Many professional athletes shrink down to a healthy size after retirement because being so big is just bad for you.
None of that explains why JavaScript.

> People want to advertise to customers where the customers actually go

But do those customers want to see the advertising? People primarily go on Facebook to connect & keep up with their friends.

Being able to advertise is not some kind of right, nor is being in business. If your business isn't sustainable without stalking people (or paying a third-party to do that for you), maybe you shouldn't be in business.
The people should control their government. USSC ended that four decades ago by creating the policy of shielding government bad actors through 'qualified immunity'.

Read the tweet, it's not that he didn't understand, he was in fact talking about FDIC insured accounts, just ones that FTX uses, not FTX accounts themselves.

The FDIC is being a little pedantic here, but that's fine, it was a warning and he deleted the tweet.
American Airlines to buy supersonic jets amid clamor for ultra-fast travel
I’m not sure about 8 hours but I’ve had some success with ~15hrs distributed throughout a week so the employer knows they can get in touch with me most days. Unfortunately I think this that finding these sorts of gigs requires a lot of up-front networking or grinding away on freelance sites until you hook something medium-term, like a half-year contract or whatever.
You can't. It's the oracle problem. These systems are doomed to be oligarchies.
If I have a page for my business and people explicitly follow my page to get updates, Facebook will still not surface content from my page as frequently to my followers without paying them.
We do fairly sophisticated TCP pacing, which requires sending down some small multiple of MSS to the NIC, so it doesn't always have the freedom to pull 4K at a time.
Going off the main topic, I was reading one of PKD's short stories, Second Variety, and I thought I knew how it was going to end because it was made into a movie I had seen, and it did turn out as expected but the movie that was made from this short story (I have watched it as well) was not the first one that came to mind.
Of course, the difference being most have code or at least a working proof of concept before they start selling merchandise and asking for money. I admire your grift though!

Hookdeck: Webhook Infrastructure and Tooling
Well they use to, they tried to bully various ISPs into increasing their throughput before they jumped the edge cache wagon, long time after competitors. Akamai is a stellar company. Don’t think N uses A services today. At the end of the day. N mostly serves static content to users and I highly doubt that hardware costs is a very relevant parameter.
I was a manager of one, and it's not even about junior or senior. My first report left (not because of me!), and my new report was much more senior, but I had a lot more managerial work to do because they didn't have the company knowledge and contacts to self-manage.

Thankfully, I was relieved of managerial duties shortly there after. I had only agreed to manage in the first place because we were a team of 12 with one manager, and that was too many reports, so half the team got to manage the other half, and my initial report was self-sufficient (well, we kind of all were), add some new hires and report moves and manager:report numbers got better.
I think it was something much simpler: oh, you're navigating to `index.html` without session? You're going to need this CSS, JS and PNG files as well.

And the idea is that client would already have those files by the time browsers parses `<head>` it already has them all. Except...browser cache exists, so who cares.
I expect that will happen too, I don't see it's any more ridiculous than suggesting underground and more nocturnal living arrangements will become common too. Sea level rises will massively reduce the amount of arable land we'll have to occupy, and there'll be another 2 billion of us in 30-40 years, so we'll need every available option.
Both are a huge disruption from our current mode of existence. If you have kids under 20 now they'll very likely witness it in their lifetimes.
Ask HN: What do you use to monitor hardware in the field?
We are a B2B that has hardware running Linux in the field for a bunch of customers at their site (let's round to like 1000 machines and growing). All of them "connect" to our servers through OpenVPN and have been, from "days gone past", loaded with Zabbix and send us telemetry. Unfortunately due to personnel changes, no one is really sure of how things are done anymore and the task of maintaining this monitoring is coming down to me. How would you approach this task? I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and reading online kinda want to just start over by choosing something newer like Prometheus.
This. We're relatively wealthy (typical middle management salaries) and it took a string of doctor appointments over many months to get a diagnosis for our son. Several of these were multi-hour sessions. In addition to the time off work to attend appointments, there was time on the phone, time on the internet, time talking to school counselors/teachers, scheduling IEP meetings at school, and probably other stuff I've long since forgotten. There wasn't a lot of out-of-pocket cash cost (because decent insurance, not guaranteed in the US), but the time and mental energy expended was significant on its own.

And, 100% anecdotal, but my wife's brothers both have similar personality traits as our son. Neither was diagnosed (and as far as I know, neither tested - this would have been in the 70s and 80s). Both ended up as typical middle-class, working-class Americans (own modest homes, but no appreciable wealth beyond that).
Self-Improvement Is, Generally, a Lie
I like learning from the past, when they were letting people download papers for free due to covid I got enough to keep me busy for a long time — just need to find the time to do something with them because working outside tech means I have very little time for such things. Read some here and there, bother industry experts here, fun times.

There’s a lot of good ideas buried in the past out there that never took off because people adopted some other way due to that being what the textbooks teach or whatever. Most of what I look at isn’t applicable to anything I do, unless I were to find a pile of money so I could write a compiler, but I find it interesting and like messing with language grammars and compiler theory. Someday I might even get past the AST stage with my playing around.
"Grossly misrepresenting"? Let's take a look at this CDC graphic ('ADHD

https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/documents/Timeline.pdf

Digging through those references seems to point to a very low level of ADHD diagnoses and treatment in the 1970s relative to the 1990s, for example. Was there a massive undiagnosed disorder among American children in the 1970s?

Notably, the CDC only starts tracking ADHD diagnoses starting in 1997!

https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/timeline.html

What does that curve look like if you extend in back to 1967, which is apparently when the NIH began funding US academic studies on the behavioral effects of treating children with amphetamines?

What part of opt-in advertising IDs is only lip service to privacy? Seems entirely about privacy and very little about security. Similarly, iCloud Private Relay is completely privacy focused and isn't really about security at all. Both of these things provide real value to consumers and dramatically limit data collection as evidenced by reports from Facebook and many others in recent quarters.

NSA data collection isn't anywhere close to equivalent to private companies storing it. The NSA programs could be shut down if the political will existed. Private companies with all of this data have absolutely zero oversight under US law at the moment.
