> This does not mean Kraken is invulnerable. It's just not vulnerable to the vulnerability that killed FTX.

FTX could have borrowed using these assets as collateral, and the result would have been very similar, but FTX could have posted a proof of reserves.

You're right that the court would have had more freedom to act, though.

In any case, the news about the supposed hack may make the argument moot.

The system is a simple chauvinism digital cash with integrated surveillance. All transactions in the system must be cleared by a centralized server that checks against double spends and validates that each transaction contains the required key-escrowed surveillance data.

>>And this is why skilled people can't find a job. Unless you can kiss a*s you won't get hired.

You're trying too hard to rationalize away personal problems and your inability and/or unwillingness to address them.

The opposite of disagreeable is not "kissing ass". The opposite of disagreeable, to start off, is not being a total asshole. No one's technical prowess is impressive enough to ignore the fact that they are completely insufferable. A project survives extra weeks or even months, but a team does not survive an eggeegious team member who makes everyone around them miserable.

Take a long hard look at yourself before throwing blanket accusations at anyone and everyone around you.

As the saying goes, "if someone is an asshole, they're an asshole, if everyone is an asshole, you're the asshole"

You can call it mental gymnastics, but I just call it thinking. I notice you're not really engaging with the point, which is that yes, Russia attacked its own infrastructure, and that hurts their own interests, but the effects of the attack – 1) creating more uncertainty on the European energy market on the day a Norwegian pipeline opened; 2) creating a sense of insecurity in the states around the Baltic sea; and 3) creating distrust between NATO members – are all worth the price to the Russians, because they are losing their war. One moment we're discussing nuclear warfare and mutually assured destruction, and the next we're not considering Russia blowing up some of their own infrastructure. Compared to M.A.D., blowing up a pipeline seems like a pretty cheap deal if it would benefit the Russian war effort.

So, let's do some more thinking. What would USA have to benefit from attacking the pipeline between Russia and Germany? A higher price for their LNG, so more money from Europe (economically weakening their ally), and if it would come out that USA did it, it would lead to severe fractures in NATO — not at all to the USA's benefit. And how, if the USA did it, would it have increased Russia's inability to sell gas to Europe? The flow was already zero, with no prospect of it returning anytime soon, sabotage or not. According to you, the USA sabotaged an ally, at the risk of ending NATO, at almost no detriment to Russia, for some increased LNG sales money. That, I would call mental gymnastics.
I have been looking for a few days for a small Windows-based 2-in-1 tablet with a keyboard cover and a stylus to

1. carry around and do some coding on,
2. watching movies / studying and browsing,
3. drawing / taking notes.

My search so far landed on the Surface Pro 8 and Surface Go 3. The former has significantly better performance, which I like, but it's basically the size of a proper laptop. The latter is 10" or so, which is the size I'm looking for, but apparently has terrible performance. Can anybody recommend some more options?
As I get older the number of these long term predictions that never come that I have personally live through increases. I never believe anyone of them now.

Do note that you can’t just commit them away — in fact, doing that will just create a nice log of things you have deleted, and the files themselves are still a part of the git history.

What you need to do is an interactive rebase, go through all commits, and remove the files by editing the original commits. You can do this with git rebase -i but it is very labor intensive and requires a lot of concentration to get right.

Afterwards your local history will have diverged from GitHub and you need to git push -f to replace the commit history on GitHub with that of your local repository.

It might be a good idea to make the repository private until you have changed all of your passwords and made sure there is no such material in the repository’s history. That doesn’t help if someone already cloned it, though.

Good luck in any case. Hope you have strong passwords and 2FA on your Steam and Gmail.
> My argument is not that the financial system as a whole needed no saving, but rather that it was done in a way which encourages massive and perverse systemic risks.

Absent follow-up regulation, I definitely agree.

> A failed bank like Citi should have been handled like smaller banks at the same situation were handled - taken over by the government, shareholders wiped out, new honest management installed, and criminal referrals made as appropriate. In addition, they should've broken up the bank to smaller units that will not be too big to fail.

Sure, I can get behind that. I do suspect that part of not doing so was pragmatic. Once you get to a certain scale just swapping out management without massive knock-on effects is very hard and the whole point of the intervention was to minimize knock-on effects. Twitter was a few thousand employees and I wouldn't wish that kind of handover on my worst enemies let alone one of the pillar retail banks. Can you imagine just replacing leadership at Apple and assuming it'd go well?

> Edit: fairness is also important. A large, politically connected, bank benefited from bailouts that smaller, less well-connected banks and regular people did not get.

You owe the bank $1M it's your problem, you owe the bank $100M it's their problem and if the bank owes everyone $400B it's the government's problem. Certainly not fair, but pragmatic.

btw, based on your reply I think our positions are probably much closer together than they are far apart. I want Glass-Steagall back.

In theory React websites should transfer less data since you just send a JSON model instead of one annotated in full HTML markup. The React runtime would be cached after the first visit.
Has anyone here managed to? If so, do you have
any tips on how (or whether!) to do this

I have, basically.

The easiest (only?) way to do this is simply to have a CO2 sensor, and pay attention to it. You'll quickly learn to intuitively correlate what you're seeing on the sensor with what you're experiencing. After a while you'll be able to vaguely approximate the CO2 levels without even looking at the sensor.

Of course, you won't be able to pinpoint an exact CO2 level, but you'll be able to tell when it's e.g. > 1000.

You've already been doing this your whole life, of course. You've already been distinguishing between "fresh" and "stuffy" air. "Stuffy" air is just our colloquial term for air with undesirably high CO2.
At this point you have to apply Occam's Razor... it's hard to imagine this is anyone but SBF trying to liquidate as much as he possibly can before moving to a country without an extradition treaty. He's allegedly also trying to sell his stake in RobinHood through back channels[0], which would support this.

And I mean, at this point he's so legally fucked it doesn't really matter if he gets caught doing this, so there's no need to be subtle about it. For him, sloppy is fine if it's quick.

Syntax is mostly a matter of taste. Preference of taste and style changes with time and trends. Why should "let name : type" be preferred to "type name"? Just because others do it? Why and this unnecessary, additional ':'?

> C++ has this issue of every few years looking entirely different
So what. The style you have been using does the job then just keep it. There is no obligation switch to use new stuff. You should stick with that what proved to be successful.

I tried using Slime with Scheme when I was doing SICP. I’m sure it’s great when you know it well, but I kept pressing the wrong shortcut and moving things around in ways I didn’t intend and then it wouldn’t let me manually type or delete parentheses to fix things.

> We simply don't know if n95 masks provide any protection -- personal or otherwise -- in the real world.

That is simply not true.

First, doctors and researchers consistently say that N95s are known to provide protection against Covid.

Second, this is the first google result on that topic:

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7106e1.htm

Quoting from that CDC page:

> What is already known about this topic?

> Face masks or respirators (N95/KN95s) effectively filter virus-sized particles in laboratory settings. The real-world effectiveness of face coverings to prevent acquisition of SARS-CoV-2 infection has not been widely studied.

> What is added by this report?

> Consistent use of a face mask or respirator in indoor public settings was associated with lower odds of a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result (adjusted odds ratio = 0.44). Use of respirators with higher filtration capacity was associated with the most protection, compared with no mask use.

> What are the implications for public health practice?

> In addition to being up to date with recommended COVID-19 vaccinations, consistently wearing a comfortable, well-fitting face mask or respirator in indoor public settings protects against acquisition of SARS-CoV-2 infection; a respirator offers the best protection.

You can say that that might be just correlation, but as those quotes mention, we do know how N95s work: they filter viral particles. That is easy to prove in lab settings. Real-world settings involve more factors, like how well-fitting the mask is, but it would be very surprising if a good N95 properly used did not offer any protection!

N95 masks work. It's a good idea to wear one when relevant.

It's very hard to say whether electronic data preservation will resist going further. Technologies change and data formats are lost and forgotten. People make breaking changes and those who can't or won't adapt will lose their data.

Lots of data will also be lost to encryption - still stored on some tape, but with no one alive to remember who may have owned the keys, where they may be stored, and what formats everything is.

I would bet that a vast amount of the data stored today in S3 that will never be read again - either because it will be forgotten or actually deleted by Amazon (people stop paying their bills, companies go bankrupt).

Not to mention, we already know of things like the source code of 10-20 year old games that people still play having been entirely lost.
Disagree. This is one of the most interesting posts I've seen here in recent months. It's tragic, yes, but also fascinating -- and not just in a rubbernecking way.

I didn't know B-17s were still airworthy, and you don't hear about planes crashing into each other often, even at airshows. As someone casually interested in aviation, I would very much like to hear analysis about how this could've happened, etc.

This is actually “an announcement of an announcement.” It’s not publicly known who the F the FTX hacker is.

It’s good to see them making so many mistakes. It’ll really test the theory that if you commit a huge crime and get a 15 year prison sentence, will it be worth it if you lock your millions away where no one can find them but you?

I don’t think so. Even a brain wallet would be hard to siphon from afterwards without anyone noticing.

Nobody is talking about 16 year olds or abortions. Are you sure you’re not deliberately changing the topic and really are debating in good faith?

Why do you believe it’s appropriate to compare a random 16 year old with a convicted criminal, who is awaiting sentencing?

And no one is arguing against that. You’re making a straw man argument.
How far along is the Bevy UI toolkit? From what I've heard, it seems fairly common to use an external GUI toolkit like egui in Bevy projects. Is anyone using Bevy UI in production yet?
I still don't get it. You need to put an if statement in that function to raise the exception. So I still don't see where 50% comes from.

Surgical masks and face shields are indeed designed specifically to protect from fluids. That is very important too.

Separately from that, when there is a risk of airborne transmission as there is with Covid, doctors and nurses will wear appropriate masks like N95s.

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work for me.

Right now my room has > 1200ppm CO2 (due to closed

It's a very gradual difference. If you're doing something interesting at 1000-2000ppm you probably won't feel sleepy, but it will probably be harder to focus on something you don't find stimulating and you'll be more inclined to feel sleepy.
Once you have more than 100 people - and there are obviously more than 100 "smartest engineers" - solutions of the form "everyone should be ethical enough not to do this, without further incentives" are impractical.

The article is only considering the social majority and ignoring the existing of minority groups – for example, ultra-Orthodox Jews – who appear to be consistently maintaining high birth rates and avoiding any demographic transition. While they are only a tiny minority in most countries (Israel being the exception), if they continue on their current trajectory for a few centuries, they (and similar groups) will come to make up the majority of the population.
They will probably start with that and progressively replace all parts. Having a mixed front end framework is a very inefficient setup and a bad dev experience. Much easier to just SSR those static-ish pages and cache them until content changes.
So, I'm currently part of a team making a Real Commercial Video Game in Bevy. The stability issues aren't bad: it's half a day of work fixing compiler errors every 3 months, even on a massive project. The Rust compiler (and tests!) make it way easier, and ecosystem crates are pretty good about updating (and will often merge PRs to do so, even if the author isn't super active).

I would expect 1.0 in two to three years, but of course, that's not a promise.

Missing features are definitely the larger challenge still: animation is crude, there's no editor yet (but `bevy_inspector_egui` rocks), UI is very heavy on boilerplate and needs widgets. But the ability to rapidly prototype and refactor rock-solid, high performance gameplay code simply can't be matched. Rust's type system makes writing robust code easy and Bevy's ECS nearly eliminates data plumbing nuisances.

> What trade-offs are you making in building Bevvy that would cause someone to choose Godot over your long-term vision?

Even in the long-term, I would choose Godot if you're looking for a more traditional, editor-driven approach. Bevy is likely to prioritize code over nodes for gameplay purposes, and you really want anyone implementing game designs to have some Rust (it's not that bad when working in an established framework!).

> Are there any concerns specific to Bevvy around compiling its output to WASM? I assume not, but might as well ask.

Bevy generally works quite well on WASM [0], but there's some frustrations. Audio has weirdness at startup, there are random compiler issues, some graphics APIs are unavailable, and of course, parallelism is still very limited. Steadily improving, but most of that work is being done upstream from us.

> From a Rust-on-WASM perspective, it might be useful to limit the entity id's to ~52 bits or less, since native JavaScript numbers are doubles.

Since compiling to web uses WebAssembly, we can just use native 64 bit integers for our entities. In general, we avoid introducing differences between web and native targets, and this is no exception.

If you do need to round-trip full entities using JavaScript, you should either store them in one of the native non-broken integer types (such as `BigInt` or `BigUint64Array`), or just store the `index` and `generation` as seperate `number`s. It's worth recognising that in most cases, you should only need to exchange the entity `id` with different systems, as the `generation` is mainly used to panic on use-after-free conditions.

You cannot 'store value' without some counterparty risk because ultimately the value you store, has to be 'valuable' to some other person, likely many of them.

Money/Credit is a social construct; not objectively separate from the system in which it's 'useful'.

If you really want to - you can store Gold in safe. How hard is that? It's relatively easy. A bit annoying, but plausible.

Of course, you have to be sure that others will value Gold in the future. There's no formal 'counterparty' in the specific sense you're alluding to (if the gold is under your bed) but the inherent value of the stored good depends on a 'counterparty'.

You can buy Real Estate, a bit of a pain and dependent on a bunch of laws, but that's an option.

Or any other thing.

All of it ultimately depends on 'counter party' and 'contextual' issues.

I think that this is a serious problem among the 'Self Sovereign' thinking - in pragmatic reality - there is no such thing. At least not in the sense of things like 'currency' or even 'stores of value' to be deployed commercially.

(You can 'store' things like fuel for your own future consumption, but that's a different story)
