> It is also an issue if they're getting a competitive edge by bypassing their own rules.

And it's not like that would be the first time they've done that. Pretty common on all sorts of levels.

My "favorite" was the ability of Apple apps on macOS to bypass most of the TCP/IP stack and send traffic directly, regardless of on-device filtering or firewalling. Apple claimed it was "a temporary measure while they dealt with updating software", but I'm still at a loss to explain why an app like TextEdit would have ever needed a kernel network extension in the first place. That to me was almost certainly a post-facto attempt at justification when they were caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
Thank you for asking - I understand this is wishy-washy. Here's my reasoning:

1. 'The mind' and 'the body' have a 'relationship'.

2. 'The mind' is affected by the information age. [e.g.: 1]

3. Therefore if #2, then the 'relationship' has 'changed'.

Doesn't this give us a place to stand for what could be an interesting discussion, even if the discussion is a debate about #2?

> While there's nothing intrinsic about cryptocurrency that would make it more prone to fraud than anything else

There are absolutely intrinsic things that make cryptocurrency more prone to fraud. The inability to reverse transactions, quasi-anonymity, and lack of any central authority to resolve disputes.

To limit fraud to the levels you see in traditional finance, you would need the regulations and oversight by centralized organizations that you have in the traditional space. The entire purpose of cryptocurrencies are to avoid those things, so while you technically could have them with a cryptocurrency, you would end up with no good reason to have a cryptocurrency at all.

It's very interesting looking back at historical software/communication, and realizing how wrong we have been about so many things, and realizing how wrong we likely are about many others.
Yeah - and balancing the two is something often entirely overlooked and people stuck with the problem have to learn the options and try to determine “is this key the character or the key (in a US layout)”.

Issues like this are why often people just give up and learn US English enough to use the computer, then at least it’s tested and consistent.
They absolutely certainly can not borrow 10 trillion USD. They do have massive revolving lines of credit (think billions, not even 10s of billions, much less trillions) but those come with conditions; it's not like a credit card at that level where you can just use it your whims. I don't even think the Federal government could borrow that amount overnight.
I used to feel that way and I only had Siri devices since I had privacy concerns. Somehow I ended up with a free echo dot and it was significantly better. I got some smart lights since my kids could not remember to turn the lights off and now I have that on a privacy network associated with alexa and I've been impressed with the voice recognition. If you have a huge house being able to say 'alexa turn off the upstairs lights' or 'turn on the garage light' when you have a trash bag in your arms is pretty great.

There are other problems with DeFi: protocol risk, transaction fees, speed, UX. They are newer and less known than CEXes and most users who buy and hold crypto on FTX or BlockFi do not know how to use the blockchain. Most of these problems can be overcome, like see L2 development, but it will take some time.

Not a book, but LSD made me realize that the entire phenomenal field was one unified thing, that it contained my entire identity as a separate self, that such separation is conceptual/language based, that there is in fact no such separation in the physical world, and that if I was aware of this field, then I couldn't possibly be anything within it.

To do this legally, one can have a separate legal entity to hold on to third party assets. In the Netherlands this can be done using a foundation (stichting derdengelden).

Any transactions of third party assets go through this entity and don’t touch the company at all. And this entity doesn’t take on any risk, whatsoever.

Fees etc, of course, happen separately and are paid to the company.

So in closing: this has nothing to do with fairness and everything with the exchanges (whether purposefully or through negligence) not working this way.

I was recently disappointed to find out that IG saved stories / highlights can have their music removed. I found a bunch of memories now have a "song unavailable" on them (and still the original audio silenced)...

And yet I remain unclear about just what it is they think TikTok is going to do. Yes, I'm quite certain they're funneling all of that data to the Chinese Communist Party. Yes, I'm certain they're using it to target propaganda. So?

Get in line. Who isn't holding vast amounts of American data and using it to drive propaganda? What is so scary about the Chinese having it, as compared to Facebook, Google, and the Russians. The Russians don't have an app of their own, but I'm certain they're siphoning off data from everybody else's. For that matter, I suspect China would lose not one iota of access if TikTok were to just vanish.

The Internet is a terrible place for security, especially that kind of vague "we know what kind of stuff you like" security. Why is Warner, a generally sensible guy, buying into the notion that China is uniquely scary on this point? Does being on the Intelligence Committee give him special access, or just more opportunity to be afraid?
These messages come in waves for me. Maybe it is strategy that if I get them constantly I'll tune them out but 5+ over the course of a couple days once a month might trick me? Occasionally they are very determined to get a response and will add in some level of urgency to the message. One memorable series of messages was that an old friend had come into town and would like to grab dinner after work. When I didn't respond to that I got several more messages that the sender and other friends were concerned that I hadn't responded but could still make the reservation they had. Eventually telling me they'd call for a wellness check or something if I didn't respond.
> "The document is laid out in sections that sound like something a high schooler would write on their college application..."

I really miss the days when journalists would treat us readers as adults with the capacity to come to our own decisions about how to interpret a set of facts, rather than their feeling the need to drop clues like this so that we shall be lead carefully and safely to the proper conclusions.

We know it's a weak defense. We don't need journalists to spell it out for us. Talk about sounding like a high-school essay.

This sounds so much more professional, and skips the editorializing.

The document includes sections such as “Deep Interest in Making the World a Better Place” and “Positive Impact on Others.” It opens with the hope that it will encourage the judge to “examine Ms. Holmes the human being” before bringing down the hammer.

All of which can be achieved in a more efficient manner without blockchain.

70% slower is a bit ambiguous though - it could mean 70% extra runtime or it could mean 30% of the new speed.

I don't think I agree with your assessment of this for the following reasons:

1. Nothing here is being tracked "across other companies apps and websites", unless there's something here that shows Apple is cross-pollinating their data internally (which is possible but I don't see any evidence for here).

2. I disagree that this includes "App Store" app. The description given when you click the "About Analytics & Privacy" link explicitly states what the differentiation is and, to me, that does not include the App Store app.
Oddly enough I was rocking 100% accuracy by ignoring the face and looking at the background.

Maybe a face-centric ML isn't so good at backgrounds. Shocker!
> if pretty much all of the major exchanges disappear off the face of the earth, can there be any other outcome than the value of crypto going, as near as makes no difference, to zero?

Presumably someone will make a new one; it seems unlikely to me that all crypto will go to zero in the near to mid future, even assuming what you say.
They're both obviously scams intended to make a small group rich at the expense of everyone else and the newspapers would say so, if they weren't on the payroll and getting a cut via advertising, donations and other less visible transfers of cash.
If you live in the US and are hedging against the collapse of the FDIC you may be better served by investing in things like dried goods and seeds than cryptocurrencies.
There’s probably something to be said for targeting simply the group of people who are on apple devices, given they as a group tend to have higher disposable income. Marketers did their work without direct metrics for a long time, it’s not impossible.

Apple would undoubtably not be able to charge as much as they could if they had those sorts of metrics to give, but there is a value proposition there.

Show HN: Dlna-cast, a command line tool to cast PC screen to DLNA devices
dlna-cat is a cross-platform command-line tool that casts screen and media file to remote DLNA device.

dlna-cast uses ffmpeg to capture screen and audio, then convert them into HLS streams which could be served by a simple HTTP server. The HLS url will be send to the selected device via uPnP protocol and then you can watch you screen on the remote device (smart TV, typically).

This tool is supposed to be cross-platform but currently I don't have a Linux or MacOS device at hand so it can only run on Windows now. It won't be hard to support other platforms though, as there are no platform specific dependencies.

HLS is chosen just because it is easy to implement. But the problem of HLS is its high latency (up to 5-10s or more) so it's definitely not for scenarios that require low latency (presentation for example). But as a trade-off the streaming quality exceeds a lot of software screen-casting solutions (Lebocast for example) that have been tested by myself, which make it pretty good to stream music or video playing from your PC to TV.

Seems like the most lucrative part of this proposal is to become the auditor. /s

This reminds me of the Gaia-X / IDSA certification and approval framework blanketing the whole software industry in the EU. I am not sure yet what to think about it.

On one side, it looks a bit like proprietary software vendors trying to cut out SMEs who can match the quality with the same open-source software the big players use, but have no funds to go through the certification. The really funny part of this legislation is: the big players who can afford certification will be able to use ANY open-source component for free but the people who built it will have a tough time to go to the market because they will require the funds they don't necessarily have. Crazy situation.

On the other hand, if this is applied to everyone, well, it will get rolled into the cost of providing a service. You want to buy this from me? Sure, I'll charge you for compliance report.

The really funny part of the "Call for evidence for an impact assessment - Ares(2022)1955751" document (section C.) from https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-sa... reads:

> The initiative is expected to have positive economic impacts.

That section completely misses to mention that increased compliance cost will inevitably lead to increased software and services pricing, thus will lead to decreased competitiveness of European SMEs on the international market.

Hot take: I can see two options to cripple this: 1) Drown the legislator in compliance requests for minor code. 2) Dual-licensing: AGPLv3 + commercial license.

Did he kill his wife or not? No?
Then why are you even bringing his wife into it.

Some man fucked a married woman, he got killed.
At no point does this bring up questions of "ownership" or "random psychopathy".

A random psychopath out of nowhere didn't kill you, you got killed by a husband of a married woman you fucked. Action -> Consequence. Very deterministic.

There's no randomness in who got killed in this circumstance, in fact it's pretty predictable outcome (like rolling a dice where one face of a dice might kill you).

Actions had consequences.

Unless the woman hid that she was married, and the man had no way of knowing then that'd be bit different.

Additionally, according to the article, they did end up getting divorced, which seems to indicate that a divorce was an available option.

I get it, consequence-free, zero responsibility stuff is all the rage now, and thus marriage means jack shit now (and little to no reason to do it really)

There was never a dollar quota. They represented amounts of gold until Richard Nixon finished a process that had begun during the great depression and fully stopped honoring the right to exchange one for the other. That was the end of this system: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_system

Since everyone was already exchanging in dollars at that time their value didn't drop to zero, although it has fell a lot since then for obvious reasons.

Since people don't really use dollars as a store of value on a large scale anymore (Bill Gates does not own billions of dollars, he owns billions of dollars worth of stocks land etc.) it's not as bad as it sounds.
The counter argument to the "explicit is better than implicit" is that abstraction & encapsulation are such significant force multipliers. If done properly, implicit is good. It's just that in case of copying, doing it "properly" is well nigh impossible.

I'm not 100% sure Holmes is a narcissist, but if she is... the court would be foolish if they listen to anything her defense may say at this point.

Access to a physical item isn't the only reason we need something like copy right.
