I was thinking about ECHR application number 22978/05, but the case turns out to be significantly more subtle. The ECHR ruled the opposite of what I claimed in principle - so evidence gathered through a forced confession is generally inadmissible as an exceptional rule, however, in the specific case the admission of the evidence wasn't seen as rendering the trial unfair, specifically because he confessed in the trial and the admitted evidence was then used to confirm the confession. The ECHR argues the confession-at-trial "broke" the otherwise straight chain of forced confession => evidence => conviction, even though that confession was arguably predicated on the inadmissible (per ECHR) evidence admitted by the original criminal court. 6/17 judges dissented with this part of the ruling.

I suspect the ECHR tried to do two things at once here:

1. establish a rule that torturing people does result in all resulting evidence to be excluded from trial, and if that leaves authorities with no evidence, then there can be no trial. Reading the ruling it clearly ECHR considers the "just prosecute the prosecutors" approach insufficient when article 3 (torture) is concerned - you can't have a trial based on torture and call it fair, basically.

2. not letting Gaefgen get off because there is no doubt at all that he murdered the child.

Securities fraud. SBF almost certainly misrepresented the company during negotiations with investors in its most recent fundraising attempts.

If his Twitter deception is anything to go by, he liked lied to investors about pilfering customer funds to bail out failed Alameda Research. Forget about lying, it's illegal to even withhold pertinent information when pitching to US investors.

The Bahamas is no safe haven. They will extradite. After all, his investors are in the US and those transactions are covered by SEC rules. Given the scale of the fraud here, this is serious jail time.

He could be saved by his political bribes, though, considering he's greased the palms of the current administration (#2 Democrat donator in the recent cycle) ;)

When I got my Nokia E90 in 2007ish, it's hard to describe the power and potential in that device. It was multitasking, 3G, GPS, camera, video, email, web, app store etc. The big downfall of these devices was that consumers weren't familiar with the types of mobile contracts, and specifically data. The iphone got it right by only selling the iphone with a data package, whereas people bought these symbian smartphone and later found they couldn't make full use of them. Not to mention back then we had to set up the internet connection ourselves.

I moved onto the N900 when my E90 slipped out my linen trousers in a taxi in Morocco.

As someone that builds platforms for a living, the core reason I believe is that AWS is now a spaghetti monolith. It was somewhat a natural consequence because the type of service AWS provides which is infrastructure. It evolves very slowly because its impact to its tenants are hard to predict. Therefore it’s logical to apply bandaids everywhere.

AWS might be in the trenches of the biggest tech debt in terms of impact known to human kind.

How to solve this? I think lifecycle management. Define lifespan of services so that these can be replaced eventually.

It shouldn’t be astounding. The entire crypto market is controlled by a handful of powerful entities. It goes up when they want it to, and it goes down when they want it to.

It crashes when they lose control, as they did earlier in the year. But at this point I don’t believe there’s enough riding on FTX that they’ve lost control again.

FTX is a story of retail and normies getting rinsed. But that’s zero sum. Who do you think ended up on the other side of the equation? Those people are in a decent position.

Until crypto has a workable solution to this that doesn't rely on me keeping paper copies of my master key in a safe, it's not really viable for the masses without exchanges like coinbase and co.

> Entrusting your personal financial data with a private company is sure to end in disaster, either by hack or court order

Hard disagree here. In all my years of interacting with private companies they have always protected my money, even when it was taken from me fraudulently.

I dunno, cefi works pretty well for me.

Of course the difference is that the cefi institutes and private companies are regulated traditional banks.

> Privacy should be a basic and legally protected feature of blockchains.

For a decentralised system that touts it's benefits as not being tamperable, a legal protection is worthless. If we require legal protections for blockchains what value does that prove over a centralised regulated system? Also, as it's decentralised and privacy focused there's nothing stopping someone in a country with a different interpretation of "legal protection" being involved.

>We haven’t seen privacy and KYC be an issue yet

We absolutely have, with AML checks. Try cashing out 100k of crypto and using it as a deposit for a mortgage with a bank or lender, and see how open to it they are. This has been the case for at least 3-4 years here in the UK.

True in many regards, e.g. the UI is way better and the constraint solver is more intuitive.

- SolveSpace does not have a proper API to it's geometric engine (what the CAD industry, for some unknown reason, calls a "kernel")

The point is that just freezing cold is not miserable. Autumn weather with days getting very noticeably shorter and it’s cold but not freezing and gray for weeks is quite depressing for many. In contrast, proper winter with snow and days getting longer feels much better even if you need warmer clothes and more heating. This year and next will be a bit different as everyone will be very conscious about gas prices, but purely from weather perspective early December is the worst.
I can't speak for others, but personally my great dislike for it is the very high rate of scam-like behaviour.

Every where you look, it turns out that someone is doing a 'rug pull', using customer funds in ways that don't line up with what they said publicly, or using misleading and deceptive behaviours to con others into giving them money.
If something goes wrong, there is not that much you can do. AFAIK the options are 1) retry 2) fall back to something else 3) give up and complain to someone. The options are simple, even if none of them are particularly nice.

>Latency doesn't change as you tweak that number, only bandwidth.

Uuuh, actually it does.

https://updater.com/guides/bandwidth-vs-latency

>Comparing bandwidth and latency

>Bandwidth is the amount of data your connection can handle, whereas latency refers to delays that impact how quickly data gets to your devices. Even though they’re very different, they are related in one important way: If you have less bandwidth, you may have more latency. This is because if your internet connection can only transmit a certain amount of data per second, such as 5 megabits, files that are larger than that will take longer to get to your browser.

>Here’s another way of looking at it: While bandwidth affects latency, latency doesn’t affect bandwidth. Returning to the freeway example, the width of the road itself is like your bandwidth, and the cars are like the data that has to travel from one point to another. If the police set up a checkpoint on the freeway, it doesn’t matter how many lanes it has. It’s going to take longer for the cars to reach their destination.

>It’s the same with bandwidth and latency in your internet connection. No matter how many megabits your ISP allows you to download per second, if the data has to pause for a security inspection or take detours through multiple locations, you’re going to experience latency.

I switched to Go in 2013.

I was tired of the dogma of wrong in PHP. Everyone was an armchair expert trying to tell me how wrong everything I was doing for the last 11 years as a professional was.

My understanding is that 70 million was indeed chosen arbitrarily, but it is large enough to make the proof work without too much extra work. The "2022" number in the recent claimed proof might also be in this vein, i.e., there is nothing special about it, it's just a number large enough to make the proof succeed relatively comfortably, and probably also a play on the current year.
From my limited experience in Big Tech, these kinds of companies are pretty good at running data centers from the hardware, networking, and low-level OS management perspectives. But their server-side programming/"backend engineering" suffers from a lot of the same problems as their mobile app development. In fact, it's frequently way worse because you can't say anything like "what if someone wants to download our app over a 3G data connection" to get people to cut down on bloat.

Overstaffing and ship-the-org-chart syndrome leads to ginormous app bundles on the client and 7000 microservices on the server.
