There are rumors that it's taking photos of other satellites in orbit. I can't find the link, but it made a very close pass to the ISS and people speculate that it was imaging the ISS as a test.
I am glad that most of HN had called this crypto/NFT/web3.0/ICO BS loong time ago. That contrasts with Mega VCs, celebrities, politicians etc who were praising this tech-glorified Ponzi scheme.

Good job to us!
I have Apple devices and I use Infuse as my Jellyfin front end. It is excellent!
I use Perl like this. It works very well for me.

Perl has very flexible syntax, but I stick to the readable bits.

Legal code is also code.
I read about the guy who decided to "live" in Edwardian England. His whole flat, his wardrobe, really his whole life was Edwardian. The only thing he conceded to modern times was a refrigerator, I believe (as opposed to a literal ice box).

Flipping through old electronics and computer magazines from the 70's suggested to me that I might want to slip back to the 1970's myself. Some of it is nostalgia for the decade when I was a kid, some of it a kind of rejection of the modern era we've created. (My wife complains she has no idea how to operate our TV — not the case in the 70's!)

A long way of saying I kind of get this Tech Time Traveller.
There is no mention of its measurement accuracy in the specs nor in the comparison table against the higher priced units from other vendors. Accuracy is a different animal from the dynamic range in that table and the repeatability given on the VNA6000 home page. So that begs the question: how accurate is it and how does its accuracy stack up against other options?

Edit: spelling.
I mean, was he *obviously* a fraud? You could easily short FTT if you thought that was the case. Additionally, any number of hedge funds could have, and it would have collapsed if they had (the reason this unravelled was a big sale of the token)

Maybe you mean in hindsight he was obviously a fraud? But then that criticism doesn't apply to people who took the money before the fraud was revealed.
Here's a huge list of them: https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/domains/
I'm sure the New Yorker wouldn't tolerate this level of irritation. Or were you not shown there?

My time in front of a TV screen is 10 minutes per year, basically the count down of new year at Times square that is. I use my computer(streaming services, e.g. prime video, netflix,etc) and youtube for entertainment needs. For big movies I went to theaters. From the comment here I realize there are still lots of TV watchers, even though TV is probably just acting as a big screen.
Last year, Citi accidentally sent Revlon $500m who kept it even though Citi immediately asked for it back:

People moving to Mastodon fall into two groups, by and large - people who like it for normative reasons, and people moving there to see what the buzz is about. The first group sees practical concerns as an obstacle to be defeated; they would say you ought to move to Mastodon regardless of technical problems or lack of utility. The second isn't defending it in offsite discussion board.

In terms of utility for social networking, there's no defending Mastodon relative to a Facebook or Twitter. The small userbase is reason enough not to switch; what use is a social networking site if the people you want to interact with aren't on it?

That there are so few if any people who both recommend Mastodon and don't have moral/political objections to Twitter is damning. Where are the objectors who recommend it on purely descriptive grounds? It's a bit like GNU - it's cool, but don't try to tell people it's a viable replacement for Windows.
https://time.com/6229230/mastodon-eugen-rochko-interview/

seems like you are probably at least technically right/correct -- at least for now -- as far as my understanding of the platform goes, and the stated intentions of the founder.

the founder talks a lot about how he/mastodon, thru the apps, can effectively demote hate servers/people, by not recommending them to new users. and that, to me, is not technically full on blocking/censoring -- so you would be correct. maybe it would be a bit like a quarantined subreddit -- not officially/fully blocked/banned -- just mostly/practically.

a bit later he also talks about servers banding together to outright block 'hate servers'.

> Additionally, we also act as a guide for anyone who wants to join. Because on our website, and our apps, we provide a default list of curated servers that people can make accounts on. And through that, we make sure that we curate the list in such a way that any server that wants to be promoted by us has to agree to a certain basic set of rules, one of which is that no hate speech is allowed, no sexism, no racism, no homophobia, or transphobia. And through that, we ensure that the association between Mastodon, the brand, and the experience that people want is that of a much safer space than something like Twitter.
Thanks for the pointer. This story excludes the problematic videos.
> The Barentsburg Pomor Museum presents Pomor culture, Arctic flora and fauna, and archaeological objects preserved in the permafrost.

Wow, this is hardcore. Wikipedia says that Russian Pomors reached there around the same time vikings did. (Pomors are Russians who historically lived far North.)
> My current company spends 4 out of 8 hours every day in meetings.

When I was in Netflix and Uber, my teams had no status meeting, at all. We came up with a context and a big enough ownership, and just let the team loose. It's something like this: we need to enable services to send their events for analytics without ever talking to the data lake team. Steven, how about you own it? Then, a month or two later, everyone in the company can simply use log4j (at that time) to log an instance of annotated Java class, and in 15 minutes or less, the logged events became available for all kinds of queries in the data lake in the right format with the right metadata. No status meeting. No alignment meeting. No customer outreach. Not unnecessary shit. Things just happened, features just introduced. It's all non-event.

In the end, it is the culture that matters. Everything else is a matter of tactics.
In my experience since September 2020, I've been without a job despite having graduated from university/college with a bachelor's degree in computer science. It doesn't help that I didn't attend any internships (because of focusing on getting classes done), which affects the connections I know well, and my inability to drive as of this post. The only way I have been getting any relevant experience is through personal open-source software projects, either through making my own, or contributing to existing ones.

Well, this has gotten a little better since I'm working a seasonal job doing shelf stocking (retail job for 90 days since last Monday; 2 days per week, 4 hours per day; 8 hours per week), and is for getting work experience. I got it only with the help of a job recruiting agency. It's not involving computers much, but it's better than nothing.
Plex is one of the reasons I now always choose open source over closed source but free as in beer. They start out great but as financial constraints creep in the compromises are made that create a very unpleasant experience. For example, I'd love to use Obsidian, which is an amazing app, but who knows what will happen to it in the future.

I've learnt CSS basics, what next?
Now I look at projects and they confuse me a lot. They're doing lots of things that I still don't know. How do I recover from this phase? I can't just go and build a website they're building w/o guidance either. I'm stuck. Help me unstuck.
Crypto.com claim the entire amount was returned:

"All funds were returned. We have single digit USD million balance on Gate as of now."

I can send thousands of dollars (with a 'priority' fee schedule) for less than a dollar in fees over the plain 'ol regular BTC network. It may be an economic reality, but it's a negligible one.
Yeah I get what you're saying and there's something to it. It's just difficult to imagine to become disillusioned to the point where you're not realizing your criminal actions.

I think something like Theranos is a different story. In that case it would've been much harder to escape for the founder. But for someone in crypto like SBF...
Kind of a bad article. It's basically writing up a tweet but it doesn't really add any information.

Like, how is Musk expecting for the situation to not go back to what it was with the impersonation? Is adding the "official" badge enough? And then, isn't that kind of... dumb? I thought the whole point of paying 8 dollars for it was to "democratize the blue check".
Wow, here in the USA, I never have issues like this. Where I'm at, all the people with huge carts filled with food go to the checkout lines. The only people who use the self-checkout are people with 1-15 items. There usually are at least 6 self-checkout terminals. I look at the checkout counter with a live employee and the are without doubt, always always always so much slower, because they will have 3 people in line with 50+ items.

I think if someone brought 50 items to self-checkout area, they would get knifed in the back.

There are usually at least 6 terminals, so if you have a incompetent idiot on one of them, it doesn't make too much of a difference.

About 90% of the time, there's no line.
I want to call this the 'freeze plug' -- as with molten salt nuclear, extract liquidity in case of emergency.
There's a Twitter thread where SBF said he's willing to take unlimited risk, far beyond what is theoretically optimal, because it's for the good of humanity.
Isn't it about giving away money?
> the original —actual— value proposition of crypto was: Buying heroin.

That's totally unfair.

It was buying all kinds of drugs, and weapons, and child porn, and stolen credit cards, and hiring assassins.

The assassins invariably turned out to be working for the FBI, of course.
You can also try your hand at programming a virtual 2600 at 8bitworkshop, along with other consoles and platforms. With my interest in this area, I can't believe I hadn't heard about 8bitworkshop until just the other day: it is amazing!

Agreed, I'll take limited but straightforward over full featured but obfuscated any day.
Plex seems to regularly add new features which I really have no use for but makes it relatively easy to turn them off if you want.

Every month or three when I login to the web interface there's Some New Thing which I need to disable.

Recently I needed a 100% offline-capable media player (and while Plex would probably work, it's not 100% reliable) and tried with Kodi.

It's a very unfluid experience, requiring multiple plugins and a setup process which was complicated even for me. It wasn't terrible, and it did work and I'm glad it exists but it's not something I would ever use on a daily basis, Plex just works better.

I'll admit I haven't tried Emby or Jellyfin (yet), and, I'm sure I will some day. Plex will probably add something which is truly objectionable or otherwise not disableable and I'll be compelled to switch but for now I'll stick with the fluid experience, even if it requires me to occasionally disable their new "features".
I can't speak to the plausibility of this actually happening here specifically, but usually it is done to set an example for future folk who might try some funny business.
It comes at the cost of having inflationary currency that punishes you for saving rather than spending, unlike non-inflationary currencies.

Some people care more about the property of being non-inflationary than they do about the property of transaction reversibility.

Edit: Why the downvote? You caring more about reversibility doesn't mean it's a universally shared value.
> Also, don't expose windows shares to the internet.

Is this a problem? I feel like this reputation is 10 years out of date.

I paid for Plex and have never seen any ads. I tried Jellyfin and required too much tinkering. If you spend more than an hour tinkering with Jellyfin it's worth it to pay for Plex lifetime and be done with it. A good example of this is using it say on an Apple TV or more niche devices.

That being said, I do like Jellyfin and it's fine for tinkerers. Things like sharing, watching together, etc are a huge pain with Jellyfin.
Someone else in this thread mentioned "Infuse" as a useable frontend.
It involves first having a bunch of money, then giving it away. The general trend is that most people fail to move past Step 1.
That's very interesting, where are you located? I'm in north NJ in the US.
I haven't read it, but this fragment of the last paragraph of the article resonates with your sentiment...

'...the greatest works of children’s literature have dealt in “the sadness which is inseparable from life, which has to do with growth and change and impermanence, and with the very essence of beauty.”'
I'm guessing you're mostly watching alone? If you want to watch with others then watching on a TV is really the only possibility.
This is a story of a corrupt CEO. The main crypto part of it is that FTT was seen as actual money on its balance sheets.

This individual stealing people's money sheds light on how regulations exist for a reason, especially when handling billions of USD. Doesn't really speak positively or poorly on cryptocurrency as a technology though.
Sorry, can't agree with that. Don't try to correct one mistake with another mistake. They both deserve the max, no reason to reduce his if hers is improperly reduced.
> It's tempting to say he did it or inside job, but things never are as obvious as they seem.

Then again, sometimes the kid standing in the kitchen with the chocolate on his face and his hands behind his back looking guilty actually did steal the cookies from the cookie jar...
Totally agree. It's an issue of getting it to work for family.
The latter's clearance rate for murders hovers a bit below 55% in the richest country on the planet. I wouldn't rely on any system that achieves a success rate in the vicinity of a coin flip for the most important challenges, and I certainly wouldn't count on it solving smaller, less significant issues with any reliability.
If SBF is smart he has two or three passports like Peter Thiel and Justin Sun.

Yeah this is rough. Not the kind of thing you can easily do on a relative's TV. I would rather buy them a Roku/Chromecast at that point.
Monitoring equipment alone isn't really sufficient, unless it is hooked up to a fan or ventilation equipment to maintain a suitable level, and an alarm to alert if that level can't be maintained.

If the law requires just monitoring equipment, then you know that in a utility cabinet somewhere will be a screen with the data on, that nobody ever looks at, and might as well not be there.
I assume it's Saudi arabia. Otherwise, Israel?
Does everyone not remember that it is an tradition for every US President to visit Saudi Arabia near the end of their terms?

The President of the United States of America goes TO SAUDI ARABIA to basically kiss the ass of the Saudi royal family.

There is so much soft money washing around under the surface of Washington. The Trump administration showed where tons of it comes from, because they were so brazen in their corruption compared to previous ones. The inauguration committee, the presidential library, "speeches", soft lobbying, sweet deals for friends and family, etc.
Routing your traffic to a server controlled by a US company is more secure than…?

We should maybe define what we mean by secure before suggesting these things. Also, we should speak about setups like this more genetically, maybe focus on the software that enables this type of thing (OVPN) and not some big cloud provider in the US giving you a cheap VPS.

FWIW, thanks for the images and clear explanations for setup. I just think in todays world we should dissect these suggestions more deeply.
I have no opinion on the inside job, but if someone were to drain the funds I'd expect it to be more deniably than directly transferring to one's own wallet.
If you're going to make an allegation like that, why not just name the person?
With Obsidian the thing that made me ok with this was it's all just markdown. I have all my data stored locally in an ubiquitous file format
> "The truth is pay-walled, but lies are for free"

Maybe on the internet. irl we have something called a "public library". more people should check them out

imo both truth and lies are paywalled. It's just that truth tends to be a lot more boring than lies, and a lot easier to take in with just a glance
This solution is also a major source of chargeback fraud, FWIW. The people who get screwed from that aren't financial institutions, it's merchants - often small mom and pop shops that lack the resources of predatory multinational corporations to challenge this type of activity.

From their perspective, protection from chargebacks is protection from fraud.
I recently got my own server, and I installed Jellyfin. The payment part of plex would not have been an issue, but all the remote parts are. I’m not selfhosting because I want to login through a remote website. Let me buy the software and give me a license key, like with desktop software.

The Jellyfin Android TV app is pretty much okay for me. The browsing interface seems to default to a phone UI, but that was easily fixed.
I agree about meaning but I feel they have become way less artistic/ subtle about the meaning. Sometimes painfully blunt…
Your use case might be to route all traffic through an endpoint, in which case https://ipleak.net will tell you what your browser is giving away.

The other use case —- what this article is about —- is a persistent bridge between private subnets. In general, you can worry about this channel to the same degree that you worry about SSL. To test either, the network sniffer Wireshark is a good start.
This is great! It would be very interesting to see this approach applied to continuous CA
The irony is that the guy didn't even plain steal and embezzle it, he was so full of himself he thought he could just increase it with his magic trading firm.
Au contraire. The early web was chock full of original user content. People with shell access published all sorts of stuff in their Unix home public_html directory. Those who did not had geocities accounts.

Today, it’s easier than ever to publish. Anyone who wants to create content can do so.
Accuracy will largely depend on calibration standards used. A good set of those that goes up to 6 GHz will cost many times the cost of this device.
Ah yeah, I was thinking about the ftx on-exchange spot margin system.

You're definitely right that the retail lending aspects were generally somewhat scammy. I suspect those rates made more sense pre-2021 when it was very expensive and hard for crypto firms to borrow capital, but offering 8% fixed on dollars in any recent time was a loss leader at best.

It's sadly looking more like sbf was buying up these firms to do exactly as you said and grab capital to fill the whole, and hide their own liabilities to said firms.
If they can't get their money back, then would they why not kill him?
A cynical view - with better CO2 levels the outcome of those political/military decisions could be worse.
Fun fact: I have never had a business card with my name on it ever.
BTC and ETH have held support considerably well through this. I think SBF backed shitcoins like SOL are probably in for a world of hurt. But overall, I don’t think these events do much damage to crypto in the long run.

There is some degree of agreement that nuclear fuel cycles exist for fissionable fuel. In other words, the waste from one reactor can simply be used as fuel for the next. There are already some niche uses for reactor waste, up until recently the decommissioned reactor in Chernobyl was actually still in use for some stuff like this.

How many steps there are in this cycle and if actually is a net positive in energy production has not been born out by any research I am aware of. So your skepticism is warranted.

"However in classrooms with a well designed ventilation system you can keep the CO2 < 1000ppm during the whole school day."

Where does "opening the windows" fit in a scale of "well designed ventilation systems" ?

I'm not being flip, or snarky - I'm serious.

I don't think it's terribly sophisticated or haughty to consider lack of opening windows to be a poverty.

Hotel rooms, hospital rooms, classrooms ... whatever ... windows that cannot be opened is a poverty.
I would rather go to a (legal) cannabis dispensary than buy weed from the criminal underworld (which is sometimes dangerous). Regarding dispensaries, there is the harm reduction aspect and I know what I'm getting. Street weed could be sprayed with synthetic cannabinoids and other chemicals to increase its potency. Street weed could also be laced with rat poison for all I know.

It speaks to the fact that in the absence of regulation, you get exactly what happened repeatedly in Eve Online -- people eventually get bored and/or things get tough, and then they decide it's easier to steal money.

Banking regulations exist to counterbalance the personal incentive to abuse any authority you have and take off which what you can take.

In the absence of regulations, everyone does exactly that... eventually.
