Any idea what piece or component it might be?
I do. I haven't requested a backup but I did check some pages and most were archiving as expected.

That said, I sent in a question / request months ago and never received a reply. I imagine they're busy but it was a little disconcerting being a long-term user and pre-paid subscriber for the next 5? years to not even get a 'thanks for the message' reply.
Good point. And frankly, we can't even be sure they read the books, or at the very least what they took away from them.

Don't get me wrong. I love such lists and am constantly on the hunt for new reading matetial. But there are flaws in these lists that are worth being aware of.

Because no one can tell who are real accounts and parody accounts on Twitter right now.
It may be self-serving, but without those kids how does civilization keep happening? See comment above.
I believe the authorities are correct here.

Shopify is sending all personal data to CloudFlare, CloudFront (Amazon) and Fastly, so 3 US companies. They could sign so-called "data processing agreements" where they promise to safeguard personal data. But the Shopify FAQ explicitly states that they are unwilling to do so.

As the result, Shopify is legally considered to not be processing data under the instructions of the shop owner, because they didn't sign the processing agreement. Instead, Shopify is legally considered to be the owner of the user data. And that's a problem with EU clients because they are a US company working with US CDNs.

Still, all of this could easily be rectified by Shopify if they would just care enough to sign the correct paperwork.
intentional or unintentional, he didn’t really have a choice: if he had dumped FTT quietly, people would have noticed and it would have had the same outcome. If he didn’t dump it, he’d have been left with a worthless token. As soon as the Alameda balance sheet was leaked, the fate of SBFs empire was sealed, because it was the SBF mythology that supported FTX — hence the “credible” industry players using and recommending FTX. For cz to have been responsible for this, you have to argue that Alameda could have remained credible within the industry after it was revealed to be leveraged to the gills — doesn’t really seem plausible, it was only a matter of time before it was discovered that he was stealing customer deposits. The only variable in the collapse of FTX was the amount of time it took people to realise that SBF had been stealing deposits, whether it happened because of a bank run or something else, it would have happened.
It absolutely blows my mind; if this[1] failure of an attempt at a "get out of jail free" disclaimer is something you feel the need to write out so poorly, and in all caps, after your diatribe, maybe - MAYBE - you shouldn't have said a goddamn word.

We know what happened. Smart rich kid uses his connections to get loaned $50M and gets wildly rich from arbitrage. I'm not sure why more and more people decided he was worth trusting with even more insane amounts of money, especially when it's just a gang of kids running the company.
Too often banks are perceived as corrupt due to risk management practices, like not giving mortgages to poor people who go on about how their rent is more than their mortgage.
Yes. There are whole articles online (by both sides) about how he became a critical Democratic party supporter almost overnight.

According to MarketWatch, he was the second largest donor to the Democrat Party.

Good for him I guess that Dems did well in the election. Though, I would love an independent probe to ensure there's no quid pro quo.

Willing to bet Google offered them seven figure bonuses to leave Apple's efforts high and dry. Google being the default search on iOS is one of the things holding their monopoly together.

edit: whoops
Interesting. So basically the last chain of undo doesn't enter the history until you do something else.

I often use undo as a faster delete when making edits, so I think I would still be annoyed by this (why am I seeing this crap I undid reappearing?) Now after a long undo chain I'm afraid to type for a new reason: it will pollute my undo stack. But it might be reasonable if my brain was used to it. Can't knock something I've never tried.

Ah yes, the pedophile cannibals are to blame. Look into it.
It does not, nor did I suggest it would. However, I would say that you deserve treatment options for those addictions.

Both XML and HTML are implementations of SGML. SGML is the parent reference and includes things that aren't in either subset.

SGML was invented by IBM for "pubs," authoring documents electronically but shipping them as printed manuals.

Lacking the need for print (in HTML) and for display (in XML) lead to those versions.
No the current Arduino ecosystem does not have a good reputation for reliable hardware at all. It does in your product echo chamber but quite frankly it's laughed out of the building in many professional settings and for good reason. The Chinese PLCs have somewhat more credibility there. The current hardware has little to no protection, poor power management, the software ecosystem is quite frankly dangerous in a lot of cases and the IDE only recently gained feature parity with tools we had 30 years ago.

I'm quite willing to entertain that you are trying to get into the market and that these issues may be resolved with this product but you have a large reputation mountain to climb first.

You have to build reputation not try and add it afterwards.

To note I use Arduino projects usually for one off simple bench automation but nothing further than that. I tend to use them as a host for flat avr-libc / avr-gcc projects though, mostly because the old IDE and toolchain was absolutely dire.
I chuckled when I read this, because when I think about the "brand" for Philips/Siemens, my default assumption is "American company". When you mentioned it, I recalled "Oh yeah, I've heard that Siemens is german before", but being raised with the "American Exceptionalism" mental framework means this thought isn't the default. (Versus brands like Volkswagen/Ikea/Toyota).

Embarrassing example: I was watching Federer play Nadal and thought "Wow, American athletes are great. I'm proud that we have the best. Wait... neither of these guys are american. Let me google where they're from. What am I so proud of exactly??"

The number of times we hear "this is the greatest country in the world" on a daily basis is really quite sad.

I share the concern but as a web developer, it's pretty clear that keeping people watching a tight, edge-cacheable pool of videos is far cheaper than actual organic usage.
I do think in some ways the chaos brings in users/lurkers in the short term. The problem will be keeping the folks that came to watch the dumpster fire. Also getting advertisers to pay to put their logo on the side of the burning dumpster.
> If your contribution to the company is deemed to be worth the money, you'll get it.

I've rarely seen individual contributions able to be evaluated 'fairly' at any scale. Your skills may be top notch, but you were focused on a project that was killed after 10 months because.... budget cuts? Bad management? Your contribution to the company in that case can be seen as a net negative, but it's largely out of your control.

The OP should just leave and find a better gig. That might be slightly harder over the next year, and yeah, it sucks to do that, but it's how you get big raises. The people coming in at 140k are demonstrating that (in the above example).

Trying too much 'negotiate for a raise' tips your hand that you're unhappy, and you will be treated differently if you make anything more than a casual ask (even then...).

Poor title. Implies action on the wrong actor.
Me, too, having worked at IBM and used SGML there. But JSON is what really killed XML. It can be harder to read, especially at first, but it's shorter and fulfills all the same roles.

As the author showed the volume of business and revenue in Germany is tiny, there may be not worth the effort for Shopify to do it. It may be the correct business decision.

The differences in laws and requirements by country is one of the biggest factors to consider when providing international services of any sort.

Fair enough, but for what it's worth, cigarettes, alcohol and gasoline are all taxed federally as well.
I hate to say this, but I don't really see anywhere where the to do list apps I use could be improved. At its core, I just want something very simple: a way to add items to lists, a way to manage those lists and the items on them, and a way to check off items that are completed. Every system I've tested works perfectly for that use case, so there's not really an incentive to choose one over another.

So the likelihood I'll switch app for some magical new feature here is slim.
You do a CO2 dividend and the problem is solved. There is no easier problem than that. It is literally one person one vote.

Wholely agree that Go tooling is fantastic, especially since most of it is bundled and directly supported by the language. Honestly my biggest gripe is nillability, but it really doesn't bite me nearly as much as it did in Java or C#.

There's a reason it's sliding into the "boring and effective" (that's a good thing) camp of languages, but it's still got some cool factor.
FTX being corrupt doesn't automatically mean banks are not corrupt. Just 14 years ago, the actions of banks brought most of the world to the precipice of financial collapse. FTX and Alameda depositors will lose their money. During the GFC, almost everyone lost their money.
It’s unusual that this trash is leaking to HN and is getting support.
When I saw the headline, I figured this was something out of the University of Washington, and therefore named after my home state of Washington. :)

It obviously is not. What does “wa” mean in Chinese? Or is it really just (w)eb (a)ssembly?
I keep count in my own code of the number of bugs Go's "damnable use requirement" has caught for me, and I'm now up to 5. It's not a big number, but they were real bugs that would have annoyed the shit out of me if they'd made it into shipping code. I think this is one of the polarizing decisions Go made that is going to turn out to be universal orthodoxy 10 years from now.

I think error handling is the thing about Go that people get most wrong. I believe that what's happened is that Go expected its users to be people fleeing C++ (they definitely got that one wrong), and instead they got a flood of Python and Java developers. Systems programming is error programming. Hiding and abstracting errors in systems code isn't a win; it's a handicap. Fiddly decisions about errors is the whole ballgame. But that's not the case in application code (EAFP!) and Go has been beset by that countervailing sentiment ever since.

That's not to say Go's got error handling perfect; it would be better with matching. But no mainstream language gets errors perfect. What unifies the strong systems languages is that they enable the overt programming of errors.
Never hurts to add voices to the choir.

It was funny, I went to see my optometrist the other day and found out he's gotten into Arduino programming but he hates C/C++, particularly the way pointers work. I told him I liked AVR8 assembly a lot better. It's not safe, but I really get to enjoy the large register file and don't have my CPU doing meaningless activities to maintain C calling conventions.

That calculation is like taking the consumption of a car from the 60s and multiplying by the known petrol capacity at the time, it just makes absolutely no sense to predict future capacity.

It does not account in technology changes and discovery of more fuel sources. The reason it's not done yet is because the problem isn't the lack of fuel but the lack of plants.
It's a joke.

Yes, this isn’t an issue for everyone but consider that rural people might have several hours drive - which is a big barrier if they can’t drive themselves – just to get in that line, and people with medical issues aren’t jumping to stay at the DMV for hours either.

Again, this isn’t a barrier for most people but there’s a constitutional right to vote so I think it needs to be as easy as possible to meet the requirements.
I think that a lot of people would be happy with America moving to the mix of social programs, taxation, and salary that Sweden or Norway have.
Considering that binance is not a regulated entity (and in fact is banned in a growing list of countries due to alleged criminal activity [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binance]), and relies on Tether having the appearance of redemptions to exist, as that is their primary method of getting money in and out of their exchange, and other exchanges like Bitfinex had principles directly involved in setting up and running Tether, despite historic statements that they were independent entities.

They have the exact same issue.

Binance is literally completely untrustworthy here.

Literally the only people who say they can do anything regarding redemptions with Tether appear to be insiders with a vested interest (in the billions to tens of billions of dollars) in it looking like you can do Tether redemptions.

Which is my whole point. And you keep reinforcing it while not realizing you’re doing so.

Tether got prosecuted by the US Treasury department because of flat out lies about currency and assets backing it. Have you read the indictment? It’s pretty damning, and has a lot of concrete information in it regarding what little actual banking infrastructure they had, which was essentially none (or at least little to no LEGAl infra).

Tether has a long history of flat out lying on exactly this topic.

My exact point is, there is zero evidence from anyone who isn’t deeply in bed with Tether.
All EU companies sending any PII to US-owned companies, regardless if the actual data stays in the EU or not, are in danger to be sued similarly to the author of this post. This is, among other laws, because of the US CLOUD act:

> The CLOUD Act primarily amends the Stored Communications Act (SCA) of 1986 to allow federal law enforcement to compel U.S.-based technology companies via warrant or subpoena to provide requested data stored on servers regardless of whether the data are stored in the U.S. or on foreign soil.

So, it's not a Shopify specific issue.

Yeah, voting is such a pain in Texas compared to other states. My brother requested a mail in ballot because of a disability and never received it this year. Him and my parents were also out of state for a medical reason, had to stay longer than expected over the early voting period and Election Day, and as a result couldn't vote. You can also only vote by mail with a particular set of criteria - if you're over 65, disabled, or a few other reasons: https://www.sos.texas.gov/elections/voter/reqabbm.shtml

Election officials are also not always the most informed about rules. When my husband was in college, he was still registered in his home county about an 8 hour drive away. He called an elections office in order to verify that he could still vote for statewide and national candidates. They said it'd be no problem.

He was turned away at his closest polling site on Election Day and could only vote at 1 polling site in the county, downtown, where he had to pay for parking with some of the very few dollars he had and wait several hours.

Another time, I forgot to update my address for a move within the county and had to drive across the city to go to my old polling place. The poll workers at the first site wouldn't even let me cast a provisional ballot or update my address on the spot. I called the state elections hotline to complain, and they were unsympathetic.

I can only imagine how hard it is to vote here for someone who moves around a lot or has to rely on public transportation. It makes me wonder how much of the abysmal 27% voter turnout range for ages 18-29 [0], which is still one of the highest turnouts in 3 decades, is due to voting accessibility issues versus plain apathy.

> Bullshit. Cypherpunks don’t just exist in SV. Any cypherpunk who still cares about their principles would recoil in horror at SV that was there since circa 2015 ( and that’s being generous), let alone now.

I never said they did and I agree: what I did say is that is where it began and it's origins was in SV in the 90s [0] which is when I was a kid in CA and feel it's part of my culture as I grew up on the internet back then (hence my interest in tech).

I'd say at the end of the first crypto war things started to get dire so by the dotcom era in the 2000s the Corpo take over of the internet was in full swing--which is when Neal Stepenson released the seminal piece Cryptonomicon and outlined the vital nature of having a currency free from the control of nation-states, which is at the crux of the cypherpunk movement and one can argue really goes back to Alan Turing himself.

I'd argue it happened not in 2015, but by the time 'web2' was created that SV became the cesspool it is now, domain squatting made useless people into overnight millionaires rather that then invested in ever-more intrusive business models; though room 614A at ATT's facility in SF was a thing so...

These days owning a crypto exchange is a shell game where you try to hide the funds and liabilities into a chain of companies located in offshore jurisdictions.

Binance does the same but even more extreme — they don’t even tell where their HQ is actually located.

Money launderers and tax evaders have long used these tricks. Those people don’t normally get VC capital at $34 billion valuations though. The crypto implosion ought to be a massive lesson to the industry.
Blog post author here.

A brief note that I do discuss the deep double descent phenomenon in the blog. See the section starting with "One of the best understood causes of extreme overfitting is that the expressivity of the model being trained too closely matches the complexity of the proxy task."

I avoided using the actual term double descent, since I thought it would add unnecessary complexity. Lesson learned for next time -- I should have at least had an endnote using that terminology!
