The report outlines the rationale in some detail. The removal of Hans' ban was controversial among chess.com's Fairplay staff. In recent months, suspicions grew about Hans' tournament performance among both elite chess players and chess.com staff. Simultaneously, chess.com is readying to host its largest ever (by cash prize pool) tournament, and Hans recently qualified for it. Then the Sinquefield incident happened, resulting in both Hans' play specifically, and the potential for cheating in chess tournaments generally, being called into question with a great deal of attention.

All of this led chess.com Fairplay staff to request that leadership re-review Hans' account, with updated analysis they provided, and to reconsider the removal of Hans' ban.
Ask HN: Do You See Voting Buttons on HN?
They are currently not rendering for me in Firefox for Android, in private mode.

Clicking where they should be, I see comments get the "unvote" action, so it seems to be a matter of visibility.

When I first noticed the buttons were missing, I was reading the Hans Niemann cheating report thread and thought voting might have been intentionally disabled for that thread. Seeing the same thing in other threads though, so alas this does not appear to be an intentional move to prevent chess flame wars.

If Europe has rolling blackouts this winter, the purpose is to reduce energy, and hence gas, consumption.

If everyone were to charge a battery bank when the power is on, to see them through the time when it is off, the net result would be increased energy consumption, due to efficiency losses.

> How representative is Aronian as an example of skill trajectories in chess?

It doesn't really matter, does it? There's a big difference between telling someone "if you're not a GM by age 14 [but actually I mean 15], then don't bother, it's hopeless" and "a typical top-level player reaches GM by age 14, but it is possible to reach that level even if you are a relatively 'late bloomer'." I'd prefer not to err on the side of telling people not to try.
My project (a new kind of data management system designed to replace file systems and relational databases) is a bootstrapped project. I self funded it, but that means it has taken several years to get it to its current state. There are many features still on the TODO list, but it can do some amazing things so far. The 'if you build it, they will come' is a great movie line, but rarely works in business.

It is difficult to raise awareness for it. Newsletters, blogs, demo videos, presenting at conferences, etc. are all means for trying to spread the word. I have considered taking out some paid advertisements, but you wonder if anyone but bots will actually see them.
> as opposed to what?

There are more words in that sentence. Are there other examples where someone "remotely [swiped] Bitcoin stored on a computer device the government had already seized in another case?"

They seem to define "stored on service" in this case as "accessible only with access to device." It's an interesting case: is it harder to recover physical assets from a police storage locker than digital?
And interesting point I learned from a documentary recently, that I rarely see mentioned: New Coke failed mainly in the American South, among people who considered Coke to be a wholesome and traditional part of their lifestyle — kind of like sweet tea. But it failed so hard there, with people there getting so angry, that the media capitalized on that failure, running constant articles about it, giving an impression that New Coke was just failing in general.

New Coke was actually decently successful in the rest of the world; and especially in younger, more urban markets — i.e. the markets Pepsi is more popular in. New Coke did exactly what it was designed to do: steal market share from Pepsi.

Coke's mistake was never really in launching New Coke. Their mistake was in removing the "old" Coke at the same time. If New Coke was positioned differently — not as a replacement for Coke, but just as a "kind" of Coke (like Coke Zero is a "kind of" Coke), they would have cleaned up.
The exception the proves the rule?
> is promoting. It's advertising

Those two notions aren’t the same, nor interchangeable. Advertising is about pushing something to a public and expanding the attention the product receives. “ There's no such thing as bad publicity” is advertising.

Promoting is about making a product’s (alleged)merits better known and enticing people to use said product for their benefit.

As a society, we want promotion, not advertisement.
Most of the _plausible_ systems involve a one-way link, where an observer is running the engine and supplying information to the player through some system that is perceptible to the player and nobody else. Forcing the player to pass information about the board state _outward_ certainly doesn't make cheating impossible, but it makes it a whole lot harder - input devices that can't be observed are much more difficult.

I'm with you in considering any software in the cameras as a threat, that's why you keep the cameras isolate from the internet. I've audited a few cheap chinese ones and they were indeed filled with vulnerabilities and unknown services running in high ports.

The idea that you can't effectively isolate them network wise is just a stretch.
The boundary between useful advertising and word of mouth is exceedingly thin and contextual. When Uber turned off $100m of advertising and found no meaningful change to its installation growth, had it already won? Clearly not then and not now; it's barely posted an operating profit and it still a couple billion away from positive net income. Rather, it's in a duopoly in the US and an oligopoly in some other markets and facing a pretty gnarly advertise (defect) or not (cooperate) prisoner's dilemma. Word-of-mouth can be a form of promotion. Most products have obvious entry pathways which smart and experienced marketers will readily identify; few of these are display ads, fewer still are billboards.

The space of advertising decisions is high-dimensional and dependent on too many factors to succumb to generalization. Many awesome businesses have thrived without it; others would've starved without it.

Embarrassing local government is a move that is likely to land you in deep trouble. They’re already fighting for relevancy with inflated budgets; what people want are police/fire, and what they get is multimillion ugly art and payouts to the mayor’s buddies that just randomly happen to own all the construction and law firms. Crazy coincidence.
> I like how you pointed out a strawman in my argument with another strawman. Not every generalization is a strawman.

A strawman isn't about generalization it's about simplification of opponent points to the point that they make no sense. In which way did i simplify anything about your point with the aim of contradicting it? In fact imho i did the opposite: i took what i believe to be the actual valid core of it (superficiality etc) and said i agreed with it. Still you're not answering to my rebuttal: your initial point (1) contains no substance since anybody worth discussing with across the political spectrum agrees to some form of it (i do and OP most surely do as i pointed out, and seeing you cite andreesen we are definitely wide apart on the that spectrum, which in itself is ok) and (2) is part of a general pattern of passing opinions widely shared inside a well-known thought-school as being something "unpopular", which is a whole minefield of bogus concepts that get nice dialogues derailed into flames.
That would be interesting. Have a chess bunker somewhere with 100s of games against a variety of opponents. I think at first there would be some nerves but over time the statistics would become clear. Perhaps there could be a 10 game burn-in.
Each case has it's own cost benefit. I think the road rules have benefits that outweigh the costs. I don't think the government should be able to dictate how people dress their building. Be that painting them bright green or putting up advertising. Just as they shouldn't tell me how to dress.

I've now gone through the full report and note that the vast bulk of it has little to do with the accusations themselves (or evidence) but ELI5 type stuff about the context including analysis, and - as you say - indications of a wider problem.

That's fine, but gives the surface impression of being heavyweight while the important stuff is only a few pages and adds little that is new and nothing that delivers a knockout blow that justifies the onslaught against Niemann led by Carlsen's antics that kicked the whole thing off.
Is it really impossible to appreciate owning well-made objects without devolving into consumerism? I used to have a crappy kettle that brought me frustration.

Matter/thread is nothing like zigbee, except the MAC layer is the same. For one, Thread uses IP(v6), and Zigbee does not use IP at all. This will make managing thread networks much more like managing normal networks (hopefully).

I don't know why you think your zigbee devices will be upgradeable to thread - that strikes me as quite unlikely, although perhaps physically possible depending on how much hardware offload the devices use.
Thanks for the detailed answer. Given the remote nature it sounds like you're killing it; I guess I have similar comp but work 1.5x as hard. Cheers!
I’ve never heard of it.
This is complete and utter BS. 100%.

I get if you're trying to starve for a buck out here in a crowded space like tech, but on the consumer side of things I have never put deep use in any product that was marketed (i.e. someone paid for it to get to my eyeballs.)

It may be true that for a bunch of you to make money, you need to put money in marketing. But for us who want good products, marketing mostly only gets in our way. Good products really do sell themselves with word of mouth, or me actively seeking out good things.

He's not going to do any of what you think he's going to do. You're putting him on some sort of free speech pedestal when that's not how he acts or treats people, especially those at his company or those that he particularly dislikes. He's a billionaire using his billions of dollars to try and control social media in a way that's favorable to him and he's not above singling out people who dare speak out against him like in the diver scenario.
I agree with the general sentiment, but once you start calling in conscripts and mobilizing the population, it’s assumed you’re taking the war seriously.

How exactly would you have handled this differently? They were well aware the account could be recovered via mnemonic, but they couldn't move the funds because they didn't have the PIN.
as a rule it is decidedly uncouth in our society to use population statistics when speaking in terms of ability or potential, as the act of making those statements can bias real world abilities and potentials by setting expectations of limits.

The Online Safety Bill – Reboot It, or Shoot It?
This is also an important topic for Knuth and he has published a book on the subject (which I have not read nor discussed with him as the topic is of zero interest to me).

OK, even though the bible doesn't interest me, we once went through the score of the Fantasia Apocalyptica together and it was useful that I knew enough of the bible to discuss some references. There are also musical "puzzles" or clues in the score a few of which I was lucky enough to catch so I didn't come off as a complete dufus.
It may be subjectively more tasty, but it's objectively more dangerous. E.g:

https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2017/05/what-are-the-odds-840...

https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/rawmilk/rawmilk-outbreaks.htm...

But this all seems pretty far afield from my point, which is that food safety laws benefit the poor. I am happy to believe that some dangerous food, like casu martzu or blowfish sushi, is also very tasty. But taking risks for exotic, connoisseur food experiences is also generally the provenance of the rich. So it seems like this also proves my point.
> They didn’t find any instances of cheating after August 2020

They banned him after August 2020, and only reinstated him after a full confession the next year.

The fact that, after having being caught red handed in online for-prize tournaments and knowing he’s being monitored very closely online going forward, he suddenly starts rising at a world-historic pace (at an age this has never before happened at) at OTB tournaments suggests to me that having lost the ability to reliably cheat in one forum he turned his attention to another.

> I find the decsription "lied outright" unfitting

Hmm.. if time allows in the next hour or so, I will find his exact quotes from the interview and will definitely edit this out if it is unfair. But my recollection is that Hans stated explicitly that he had never cheated in a serious tournament since he was 12, that he only cheated thereafter in "unrated" games, that he only cheated twice overall, and that he hadn't cheated at all in the ~2.5 years (since he was 16) preceding his game against Carlsen in Sinquefield this year. From the report, chess.com is saying any or all of those statements are outright lies.

But it's good to call this out and it sucks to unfairly malign anyone so I'll follow-up if other obligations allow me to scrub through the post-game interviews videos quickly.

> Expecting a perfect verbal 72 page report from him under these circumstances fells pretty cruel.

To be equally fair, 'a perfect verbal 72 page report from him' is not at all what I stated or implied as a standard, and saying so is a strawman.
That might be understandable, but I'm a lazy skeptic and don't want to make your argument for you. You made the claim, why must I support it?

If I find a meta analysis that agrees with your claim, but has obvious methodological flaws you could simply say "you picked the wrong one" or "that wasn't one of the limited domains of application".

I did as you asked anyway, in my pubmed search 5 out of the top 10 results are by the same author and are published in the journal "Homeopathy". I have no doubt there are many positive studies in that journal, just as there are many true sasquatch sightings in "Sasquatch Magazine".
Any ideas if the HomePod Mini (probably the most popular Thread border router) grant broader internet access to Thread devices on the mesh network? I can't find any clear info about how this might work or how to test.
There's something very chilling about watching a video of a mob stoning someone to death and noticing some of the people cheering and filming are using iphones. It seems like a horrifying anachronism but it's just how things are now.
I agree that pedagogy should be flexible. Not be static/constant, but, rather, a relationship that reacts to inputs from students; changing dynamically to suit the student's needs. It'd be a great thing if people could build up a strong intuition about how their problems react to change over time, in order to maximize the value they get over time.. if only they had been taught a non-useless model for predicting how things change.. ;)

More seriously: in an abstract sense, "when are we going to use this?" is a totally valid question - but most solutions are probably about changing the "this" in question, rather than getting the students to practice the act of recognizing in real life what they're being fed at school. Maybe recognizing applicability itself is a higher priority skill than whichever skill is being taught.
> the fact that our most stable period of low inflation was under fiat money. And that wasn't just true here. Central banks with well-managed money supplies brought price stability to many countries.

Milton Friedman in "Monetary History of the United States" shows with graphs and charts that the instability was higher under the stabilizing hand of the Fed. What the Fed brought was an upward bias to it.

> I understand that goldbuggery is a religion

All I'm pointing out is the true cause of inflation. The voodoo is all the other theories trying to deny what it is.

As for stability, is that what you call the last year? All under the enlightened hand of the Fed. Prices in the supermarket have often doubled in the last year.

> Central banks with well-managed money supplies brought price stability to many countries.

Have they? Compared to what? Which countries since 1914 did not have a fiat money system?
> It's an interesting case because it's harder to recover physical assets from a police storage locker than digital.

I feel like you missed the whole point the comment you replied to made. If the person who stored the cryptocoins on the physically seized computer had a copy of the private keys on another computer (COMPLETELY NORMAL) and the prosecutor never transferred the coins making the assumption that physically holding them was good enough, then that is an invaluable lesson they just learned.

As the previous comment says, if two people have access to the private keys for a wallet, whoever gets to it first is the real owner.
For anyone unaware, chess.com recently bought out the Play Magnus Group for about $80 million. They most definitely are not a neutral party in this financially. I personally interpret this sort of situation as creating an additional burden to acknowledge and demonstrate the conflict of interest isn't a material factor.

I don't know if Hans cheated beyond his admissions. Online seems plausible if not likely to me. OTB seems much less plausible. But this report being leaked to the WSJ, then goes up on the blog, immediately ahead of Neiman's next big event? That definitely an intentional PR campaign, and that comes across as scummy to me. I'd say doubly scummy consider the report itself establishes how prevalent cheating on chess.com is among GMs, yet nothing like this sort of public disclosure has happened in other cases. It's hard to interpret this as anything but selective enforcement based on Carlson's reaction to a specific player and game.
except the debugging experience in clojure is much more difficult - try step debugging through a macro.
In this hypothetical world of maximal freedom, I suppose you could. I couldn't very well stop you, and the government obviously wouldn't be messing with your freedom to paint other people's houses.

The less the government messes with your freedom the better, eh? I suppose that if I didn't like the color, perhaps I'd repaint your house in retaliation. What a mess it'd all be.
> PS Note Many people disagree. Good, you should not take it as absolute truth.

I don’t think anybody is concerned that what you’ve claimed could be misconstrued anywhere north of mostly false. The nonsense you’re boldly peddling here is absolutely false. Seriously, leave flat earth community if you want to be taken even remotely seriously in the working world somebody bud.
