DEX market share as a volume was 25% - 33% of spot market during the peak. It might have taken a hit since Terra went down, though.

For some trading pair likes ETH/USD it is actually cheaper to trade on DEXes (Uniswap v3) where you get 0.05% fee as opposite to Coinbase that charges you 0.6%.

The events like FTX should prod the markets more towards DEXes. Also now there are futures DEXes available like dYdX, Perp.fi and others making it possible for more professinal trades to utilise DEXes.
Edit 2: Ok, you guys win. I've merged the thread into https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33535161, which is currently on the front page. That article has a bit more background than this one.

Edit: Hmm. Having looked at https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-09/binance-s... I'm starting to think that this is more of a leak than a rumour, i.e. it's significant information that someone is saying this. It's still a borderline call, but we can call it SNI.

---------------

Original comment:

A story like this snaps to the AAA grid (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...) and therefore isn't a basis for a substantive thread.

In other words, there's no SNI here (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

It's better to wait until the next significant thing actually happens - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

First,
Thank you for this article.

I think embedded system engineers should be more open to learn from other programming domain and try to catch the good things to apply it in the embedded world.
For sure there is some specific constrainsts in the embedded world limiting the usage of web tools. But I agree with you at a system point of view there is a lot of similarities and we could solve a lot of problems by applying the same strategies.

I'm an embedded system engineer specialist on robotics. Each robot I worked on have multiple boards (my personal record is 35 boards). Scaling a system like that is an absolute nightmare.
That's why I'm now working on an open-source microservice orchestrator dedicated to critical real-time embedded systems. The concept is to follow the metodologies used to scale complex web applications thanks to a tool able to deal with embedded system specificities.

why I try to issue invoices frequently.

Agree 100%.

Although I've found that for this to be effective, you also need to be able to cease work which means you need a sufficiently large financial cushion.

A long time ago, when I contracted, I was essentially living month to month. I invoiced frequently but clients would often pay up in a painfully slow manner. But I had no real leverage because I was unable to cease work.

Kudos to contractors who achieve what I wasn't quite able to.

The Curry-Howard Correspondence is about proof systems. You would have a very hard time finding a proof theorist that says it's okay to have an undecidable proof checker or an inconsistent one.

For that reason, only _typed_ lambda calculi have any hope of corresponding to a proof system. You could rephrase Lisp as a Unityped system, but I seriously doubt it would be consistent.

Perhaps a para-consistent logic might work, but we're getting very exotic here.

I recognized the limitations of class- rather than object-based OOP early on and was glad to find out that's not what OOP was meant to be. Now I understand when people say OOP they mean class inheritance and not much else. Still useful for graphical widgets and some other places where inheritance works well.

I can guarantee you that neither Einstein nor Steve Jobs ever worried about why so many other people have conventional thinking. Just be curious if you want. Daydream if you want. You are an adult, that means you can continue playing even if it is dinner time if that’s what you want. You might of course have goals that work better with specific actions, but goalless play is surely something you, as an adult, can make time for.

And most thoughts are not thought not because of crushing conventionality but because the space of possible thoughts is so large and complex and not all thoughts are useful. Having some dreamers around to generate less constrained ideas is fine, but having a few practical folks around to make the ideas more conventional is also useful.

In general, if you see a segment of society doing something that makes no sense to you, it is your understanding that is lacking; it is usually not that their apparent irrational thoughts serve no function in society.

> If it were just about the money

Sadly, today's layoffs were probably related to it not being just about the money then... no matter how good your intentions are, when the money runs out, it's gone.
Matt Levine wrote about Zillow's failed flipping business in his newsletter last year. The way he described it seemed less evil than I imagined. I had imagined corporations trying to corner a market so that they could sell at inflated prices.

Instead, it sounded more like Zillow was providing a service of adding extra liquidity, which can be useful. For example, if I want to move to another house, but it's going to take me 90 days to find a buyer and close, I might be willing to pay a premium to sell it to Zillow so that I can get out faster.

I don't know if that accurately characterizes Redfin's business, but I think there's more to it than just evil corporations making life miserable for everyone else.
York Space Systems | Denver, CO USA or Remote (US Only)

We’re working with space lasers, going to the moon, rendezvousing with other spacecraft, and more. As a company, we’re designing and manufacturing satellites at a rapid pace – our average mission goes from concept to launch in 1-2 years. Our small team writes all the onboard software as well as the ground software which controls and monitors them, but you don’t need a physics degree or aerospace experience to work here! We’re looking for smart people who would love to work in the space industry, especially those who never thought they’d be qualified for a space job or didn’t want to work for a giant aerospace corporation or government agency.

https://www.yorkspacesystems.com/gallery/

We have openings on ground software (C#/.NET 5 on Linux, TypeScript/React) and DevOps (Azure and on-prem). We’re looking for:

- Senior/Lead Web Software Developer
- DevOps Engineer
- UI Designer

We also have many non-software roles!

Does that require any oddness when it comes to modifier keys like shift, ctl, cmd?

I experimented with double keyboards and thought it required the modifier key to be used on the same keyboard as the other keystroke, which basically raised the bar too high for me.
> Is this proportion a coincidence?

No. It's similar to how IPO commission is always 7%. It's a number between "so small it's not enough" and "so large the org can't function".
Open Door has laid off 20% of it's work force, it's stock has gone from $24 to $1.5 in a year, and it's losses are increasing.

Black Rock was buying entire subdivisions developed for the purpose of being sold to investors. They were basically large scale apartment complexes. That's wildly different than buying up random homes throughout a city.

Zillow had to give up last year and showed a $300 million loss, and now Redfin is too. I'm not saying it's impossible, but SFH flipping doesn't scale well at all.

You should read the article; that's addressed by using prisons that ended in-person visitation and saw changes as a result.

> In Travis County, Texas, there was an escalation of violence and contraband after that jail switched from offering both video calls and visitation for a few years, to banning in-person visitation altogether.

There are also behavioral changes generated by a pending visit:

> According to one study, misconduct tended to decrease in the three weeks before a visit. This may explain why more frequent visits lead to more consistent good behavior, better overall outcomes and post-release success.

Sure, agreed. And I figure a corporate buyer would only go through with that is the home is bad enough that it's worth replacement. Most probably aren't, so they'll be left available for humans. It's win-win.

IMO one should maintain a CHANGES.md file with whatever you would be putting in the PR description in it. There's no specific need to squash commits to do this as long as you create it just before you create the PR. Even the odd bugfix or review comment after that is no big deal.
> FB is making $30+bn a year profit, and is laying off people to reduce costs by $2b. They could continue to pay these people.

The quarterly revenue was about $27bn but net profit $4bn, so you're off by a factor of 7 or more on the estimate. R&D expenses alone are $9bn, and the largest operational expense is employee comp, by a LOT, distant second being data centers. For added measure, they also reduced real estate footprint along with the 11k employees.

The company has also essentially doubled in size every year since ~2013, and that was certainly encouraged by false positives in terms of future projections when the pandemic hit. So this is really not surprising, and a major cost-saving function for them.
One option might be to differentiate syntactically between branches of an if/match that are allowed to expand their type (to a union or to a bigger union) and those that are not. I am not sure how far that generalizes, though.

I don't know if the UK system has unique characteristics that would have made it likely to collapse (whatever that means) but I equally sure it wouldn't have happened in the US. I waited in vain for stories of people dying because no more beds or ventilators were available and never found one. I ready plenty about how we were close. The way probability works if we were really close, there would have been many examples of it actually happening.

Either way, that doesn't really answer his analysis unless you can account for the collapse not happening in Sweden
I was going to make the same recommendation. In particular I'd recommend her new book, _The Joy of Abstraction_. It's a real textbook that goes up through the Yoneda Lemma, but it isn't too scary and it doesn't assume that the reader already knows any theoretical math.
> No, it's because we stopped building homes after 08 but didn't stop wanting new ones. The REIT's are just responding to that.

That's patently false, universally. A sibling comment has a good reference. You can't go an 1/8 of a mile in the greater Tampa Bay region without running into a new build.
What's an example of a successful profitable DTC startup?

The Peleton story has been well documented, all the mattress companies (casper, purple, etc...) are perennial money losers, AllBirds loses tens of millions a quarter selling $100 sneakers, Warby Parker still hasn't found profitability, the list goes on.

The strategy seems to be to apply the "spend a lot on getting new customers" model of SaaS to the consumer retail market, but unlike SaaS, selling mattresses in a box isn't a monthly annuity stream for years. It's a one time payment and if they like it enough, you get another one time payment in 10 years.

I agree and this sounds super neat but in reality it's pretty complicated to keep that boundary and not leak info from one side to the other. I mean, when you open a PR you will probably describe the rationale for the change and why you had to touch files A,B & C (if it's not obvious). You can and you should replicate that info in a multi-line commit message but sometimes through code review you reshape the code structure or even some of the requirements (most probably because there was some initial misunderstanding). So, since we are humans, it's normal to take shortcuts when we did already "a good enough job" and leave out those small details.

Anyway I agree that we should aim at this: PRs are in the CI/review land, why a commit is like it is, should go into VC.
Such medieval views! I hope you understand, authocracy rarely functions to your benefit
You can introduce intermediate classes: Animal > GracefulAnimal > Cat. The problem is if there's other branches that are also graceful that there's no way to include just the right subset. That's where composition is better in that a Graceful aspect can be mixed-in.

It's basically the same problem of categorizing with labels in a single tree structure. You often find you want to group lower subtrees without including their parent nodes. That's why Gmail labels are better than normal email folders.

>And numerous other developers, including the makers of such games as FarmVille and the dating app Tinder, also used the same Facebook developer tool that Cambridge Analytica used.

>Like all app developers, Kogan requested and gained access to information from people after they chose to download his app. His app, “thisisyourdigitallife,” offered a personality prediction, and billed itself on Facebook as “a research app used by psychologists.” Approximately 270,000 people downloaded the app. In so doing, they gave their consent for Kogan to access information such as the city they set on their profile, or content they had liked, as well as more limited information about friends who had their privacy settings set to allow it.

>Although Kogan gained access to this information in a legitimate way and through the proper channels that governed all developers on Facebook at that time, he did not subsequently abide by our rules. By passing information on to a third party, including SCL/Cambridge Analytica and Christopher Wylie of Eunoia Technologies, he violated our platform policies. When we learned of this violation in 2015, we removed his app from Facebook and demanded certifications from Kogan and all parties he had given data to that the information had been destroyed. Cambridge Analytica, Kogan and Wylie all certified to us that they destroyed the data.

Not saying it makes it okay, but every company in existence does this to some extent. Everyone does A/B testing with the intent to alter user behavior (aka psychology) to increase their profits.
So due diligence showed how big a hole FTX is in. No surprise. As I said yesterday, about 50% of announce M&A deals fall through. This deal looked unlikely to succeed. If FTX was out of cash but had a lot of money tied up in things that are slow to sell, like factories or real estate, a merger would make sense. But this is crypto. No big tangible assets. If FTX is well into negative territory, there's no hope.

Next stop for FTX is bankruptcy.

Does FTX.us have any exposure to FTX.intl? They're not supposed to. But do they?
The SEC and CFTC are now investigating to find out.[1] Bloomberg: "US financial regulators are investigating whether beleaguered crypto-exchange FTX.com properly handled customer funds, as well as its relationship with other parts of Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto empire..." In other crypto collapses, we've seen "assets" that were actually loans to affiliated parties. Loans that became worthless.

At FTX's web site, "https://ftx.com/intl", there is no mention of any problems. Typical.

Okay, sounds great in theory! Do any major world governments fit that description? And if not, what will it take to get them all on board with your ideals?
The most sensible option is offering anyone who gives you not their bank account, but a number like the Mexican CLABE or the European IBAN, which are safe to receive money. This implies that you will need to transfer some of that money to different countries, losing part of it to commissions.

Even you had enough money to cover administrative expenses, people with more than one bank account, or the ability to generate more of these numbers, will get more than one dollar. And don't even think about crypto, that would only add another layer of abstraction to the donation.

As PC says, it's best to direct that money towards maximum impact, than diluting its effect among everyone.
