> Insider trading is against the law.

Is Nancy Pelosi part of those companies she's trading?

Yes? No?

Answer: No. She's not an insider.

Insider Trading laws are about employees, or executives, trading stocks in the companies they work for. It does not apply to Congressmen, because Congressmen are _NOT_ employees or executives to those companies.

Following the rules as written (even if you disagree with it), is fundamental to the rule of law.
Just FYI, I quoted "unenforceable." Getting fired is the enforcement. Nothing will stop you from hiring an attorney and suing for wrongful termination, but attorneys are expensive even when there still is a salary, and the suit will be dismissed once the former employer produces the contract and asks if it is your signature on it. Companies have deep pockets. Unless there there is personal injury involved, or significant unpaid wages, it's not really viable for an individual with an individual's resources to win in court against a company or corporation with comparatively endless reassures. Even when one is 100% in the right, usually the prudent option is to walk away and move on.

That is quite interesting. Presumably one could check runtime of films in this dataset and see how precise this is.
My first attempt at university I took an intro CS class because I was interested in computers and thought it might be a better fit for me than my major at the time. I did all right for a couple of weeks, but struggled and eventually failed the class. I wrote it off as my brain simply not being wired for programming.

When I actually had a programming problem I was interested in solving, I did great. I discovered many years later that what caused my early failure was mostly me being a bad student. I didn’t do the reading, I didn’t do the homework, I did the labs when I could make sense of them. The trouble was, I didn’t realize that was the problem. In my defense, the class was a weed out class, and made a lot of assumptions about what you knew going in. But ultimately I wasn’t really prepared for school, and didn’t really understand how coursework and personal effort contributed to success in that space.

I guess what I’m saying is, don’t write someone off as not willing to do the work. They may not know that they can do the work.
Um... I can tell you've never spent time in academia ;-)

If the original art is still copyrighted, and you’d start selling your hand drawn variation, you’d totally be violating the copyright.

To make it concrete, imagine the latest Disney movie poster. You redraw it 95% close to the original, just changing the actual title. Then you sell your poster on Amazon at half the price of the actual poster. Would you get a copyright strike ?
Blacklisting/censorship of tokens/addresses is an existential crisis for defi that noone wants to talk about.

Most of defi is based on collateral, and if locked collateral can be debased by censorship, the whole thing falls apart.

Mainly because using monadic I/O trivially encourages you to write pure (deterministic) code for most of your programs, which makes it easy to write tests for them. Besides that, it's easy to write great libraries, which then makes the language very expressive. The downside is that the cognitive load for using it can be very high, but looking at C++ it seems clear that high cognitive loads are a feature across the industry, and here to stay.

Where is this explanation? There is not even one mention of Nupur Sharma in the Vice article. Quote from the article.

Nice deflection. This is not the tweet I was talking about.

I was talking about this: https://www.opindia.com/2022/06/islamist-mobs-nupur-sharma-p...

and this https://www.opindia.com/2022/06/alt-news-mohammed-zubair-del...

> The Indian article[1] about the arrest doesn't make any claims about the tweet going viral or being responsible for the things the OP is claiming here.

Of course the Indian Authorities are going to charge him for the most heinous/offensive tweet. And they will choose the one that will stick when they prosecute him in a Court of Law. That does not mean what he did, did not lead to beheading of 4 innocent Hindus. This is well documented fact that the communal tension was result of him sharing a doctored clip that went viral.

> The Indian article[1] about the arrest doesn't make any claims about the tweet going viral or being responsible for the things the OP is claiming here

LMFAO from Indian Express of all the papers? The ones who falsely published a report that Indian Army had moved towards Delhi to do a coup on the previous Government of India? [1] and [2].

Please refer to better sources.

> A 2021 transparency report released by Twitter revealed that India was the single largest source of government takedown requests in the second half of 2020—accounting for 25 percent of the global volume

Ah yes. And we should take Twitter at its word. Twitter can also reveal exactly what those tweets were which the GoI wanted taken down. I bet at least half of them involve some fabrication (like The Wire BS that is currently being propagated) or something communal to stoke riots and unrest in India.

Lol, That’s not the definition of insider trading.

Insider trading is trading on material, non public information.

> "Meanwhile the UK is considering its own Online Safety Bill, which also imagines bypassing encryption via device-side scanning. Similar proposals, such as the EARN IT bill, keep surfacing in the US.

The paper by Levy and Robinson – itself a response to a paper opposing device-side scanning that Anderson co-authored with 13 other security experts in 2021 – outlines the various types of harms children may encounter online: consensual peer-to-peer indecent image sharing; viral image sharing; offender to offender indecent image/video sharing; offender to victim grooming; offender to offender communication; offender to offender group communication; and streaming of on-demand contact abuse."

----

Maybe not specifically only grooming, but considering that most of the potential harm caused is going to start with interaction between the creep and the child, that means grooming is going to be one of the starting points they will be on the look out for, which is why this is all about client side infiltration.

Seems to me that by nipping that problem in the bud first and foremost, by removing the potential for interaction at all in the first place; we remove the potential for harm to occur as well (edit: Which means there is no need to snoop on the client side.) But like you said, you already agree for the most part.

C also doesn't have .at(). Considering C and C++ are the most obvious and direct competitors to Rust, bounds checking would be a significant upgrade if Rust paradigms cause it to be used more often.

We can certainly disagree, but I'll note the reason I'm having a hard time accepting the assertion that managers are fine with employees just doing whatever tasks they are assigned and knocking off until assigned something new is my experience as a manager, managing managers, and working with other managers across a variety of disciplines and industries. I've yet to meet one with this attitude.

I don't think employees believe it either. After all, I notice your not asserting that you wrap up your work for the sprint, then tell your manager your knocking off for the next week since your work is done. If the expectation is just that you get your assigned work done, why wouldn't you? Why would you instead keep your manager in the dark?

Is the opposite also maybe true? Allowing someone who has contributed so little to the team to have an equal share in the company may make people feel like their comparative effort isn’t recognized.
Not true. Books can provoke your thoughts. But don't just rely on books all the time.

"Reading is merely a surrogate for thinking for yourself; it means letting someone else direct your thoughts. Many books, moreover, serve merely to show how many ways there are of being wrong, and how far astray you yourself would go if you followed their guidance. You should read only when your own thoughts dry up, which will of course happen frequently enough even to the best heads; but to banish your own thoughts so as to take up a book is a sin against the holy ghost; it is like deserting untrammeled nature to look at a herbarium or engravings of landscapes." ~Arthur Schopenhauer

Literally the legal definition of "insider" here...

You don't just "change" the definition of an "insider trade" just because you don't like Congressmen.

The actual law seems to be 10b5-1:

Now sure, morally I'd agree with you that we should change our laws an punish Congressmen who trade stocks on information they know (ie: changes to upcoming laws and such). But its clearly not a law that's part of the books yet.

Yeah, I know that it's about surveilling adults. I'm sorry, but what part about my comment made that confusing?

I'm saying that by fixing the mistake of ever letting minors onto the internet in the first place, we fix the problem of governments trying to use child safety as a reason to spy on adults.

And no, restricting children from the internet won't end child abuse that occurs on the local level, but that's a whole other can of worms. Besides, it's often friends, family and trusted loved ones who do that sort of abuse as I understand. Or at least that's what they keep telling us.

The "AI" that people keep talking about is no different than any other app like MS Word, which is just a piece of software that serve corporation interests. What we are experiencing today is very simple - big players are using people's work for profit without paying one cent or getting any consent, no need to talk about "How". This is a nightmare scenario under today's social and eco system, and even worse at a production level, because in the end it will form a new industry that has nothing to do with experienced people. Take creative work for example, at the current rate most artists will completely decouple from industry in several years while giving all their works for training for free, and those who control the H/W/R&D resources will find ways to profit from model one way or another, resulting in an "AI" companies controlled "creative industry" with few artists left to direct their work. Can't even think of any other examples close to this in modern history, that a small group of people can do whatever they want under the disguise of "Exciting Technology" which in reality is just stealing an entire industry. There's very little to discuss if you ignore the reality of social systems and just focusing on technical details. We don't live in some fairy tale where you can just let computer do your work and enjoy your life.
You seem to me to be conflating the metaverse, which is what I was talking about, with VR, which is how I got into it.

I didn’t come late to any of these parties. There are some cool experiences in VR, including what you mentioned.

The internet was immediately transformative, though. There was no video, never mind the resolution. There was no audio. You waited minutes if not an hour for an image-heavy page to load. I loved it immediately.

Syncing up with a headset on in a shared coffee shop with hands and fingers is not a technology problem. It is down to not understanding the medium. My reaction was to this shortcoming in the makers of the product (in this case Immersed) and by extension Facebook’s vision of social.

We have no shortage of ways to simultaneously edit things. The idea that collaborative work in VR, which is currently already hard to work in, is the driving use case of VR adoption, especially in a “social” way, does not seem likely to me.

What’s the term for needlessly carrying over phenomenological cruft from a previous technology experience? Like analog dials on a digital touchscreen. VR (and whatever the metaverse will be) are stuck in it. They can come into their own only when something truly better (and probably unique to the medium) appears.

Right now the most interesting thing from VR for me is the use of its immersivity in psychological research.
Scanning phones would be great for detecting illicit gun ownership.
It seems like these AI tools, if anything, will take away the least enjoyable parts of creative careers. Artists will less time thinking about how to adjust a camera lens or mix paints, and more time thinking about how to tell a story that connects with people. Programmers will spend less time banging out boilerplate, and more time thinking about system design.
Show HN: Play against well-known chess players' openings
Hi, this is my first HN submission so please forgive the rough edges.

For this project gathered chess positions from some well-known chess players with a lot of games. (Usually ~25k games and 1M+ positions. The most for any player was GM Aman Hambleton with 1.8M positions indexed.)

With each board position I create a probability distribution of moves the player has made from that position. Then, I simply draw from that distribution (with sampling temperature) to choose a move. As long as there's at least one game with a given position, you can keep playing.

You'll see that it's pretty easy to get "out of book", where you've reached a novel position. It is possible to indirectly model a player's behavior throughout the game, so we can guess what moves a player might make in that position. But that's a bit more than a weekend project and a bit more involved than a lookup table.
There is the iPhone on the one hand and Google glasses and the Segway, on the other. VR may have a big future in gaming, but it’s no threat to real life.
How do I share "facts" on somethings that are fabrications by the Opposition?

I'll attempt it: let us take the Rafale Deal accusations that was leveled against the Government of India by the Opposition Parties. They could not substantiate it with any evidence whatsoever except to claim that Modi and his Party, along with billionaire Ambani, minted billions of dollars from a defense deal which involved Government of India and the French Government in procurement of Rafale Jets (Dassault Aviation). The Opposition mounted an offensive right before the 2019 elections and even took the case to the Supreme Court of India. There, they could not substantiate any of their claims. And they took the case to the same court 3 times with various appeals. In the end, the Supreme Court got frustrated by the repeated petitions and threw out the case [2].

The reason being that the Government of India, for the first time ever, had inked the deal with the French Government directly instead of going through middlemen (which was the case with Bofors Scandal of the 90s and Augusta Westland scandal of the 2000s). Earlier Governments used middlemen to sign deals so that the monetary exchange happened through these middlemen who would give a kickback to the politicians involved in making the deal happen.

The current Government of India decided not to go through the middlemen route and instead inked a deal directly with the French Government. This obviously did not sit well with the Opposition as it lost a big source of corruption revenue (the Opposition was gunning for Lockheed Martin's F-16 (and subsequently Hybrid F-21 jet) or Eurofighter and wanted it done through middlemen). If Government had gone through this route, there would be huge kickback (to the tune of billions of dollars) that would go straight into the pockets of greedy politicians.

Now since the Government did not take that route, there was no scope for corruption anymore as everything had to be done in black and white (with the French Government having to pay the Indian Government directly which would be received by the Treasury and not some corrupt politician or middleman).

Yet the Opposition cried that there was corruption in the deal by picking clauses out of context (for example, the offset clause in the deal) or randomly accusing the Prime Minister of actually facilitating the deal on behalf of billionaire Anil Ambani. None of these accusations withstood the scrutiny of the Supreme Court of India [1]. But in 2019, it was the biggest election issue. Turned out to be a damp squib.

If you don't see the value of what is fundamentally a public ledger database, then I am not sure what to tell you.

It's being used by many people today.
It's not for everyone.
It will evolve and at one point we won't even know we are using it.

The thing about blockchain isn't that it isn't that you couldn't build it with "web2" the thing is it would be unfeasible to do so and still maintaining the trust.

By separating the "owners" of the database from what it gets used to verify, things that are a kind of wicked problem or at least a chicken and egg problem become possible.

Here are a couple of examples from my perspective of what is technically doable but practically unfeasible with a proprietary.

I am pretty convinced that the government will be using this sooner or later too, for things that require transparency, but they are not going to be early adopters (in contrast with the internet where they were)

You are correct that is the definition of “insider” for requirements as to trading reporting, but read the first paragraph of your link:

“Insider trading is the trading of a company’s securities by individuals with access to confidential or material non-public information about the company.”

Where in that definition does it limit to insiders? Hint: it doesn’t.
Ultimately you are putting both employers in a situation where they have to choose between keeping you or potential litigation.
