Tether's Troubles in November 2022
I googled Legion, and there's a contextual box that shows it's on Hulu, among other services. I searched DDG for legion, no relevant hits, but when I searched for legion streaming, one of the ads shown is for Legion streaming on Hulu and the first non-ad result is Hulu as well.

I guess my point is, searching for something you want and manually scrolling through a catalog hoping the algorithm bestows a blessing upon you are two different things. If you know what you want to watch, you can find it easily via search. If you don't know what you want to watch, then really, you probably don't want to watch anything, so do what you do want to do. Take an active role in deciding what to do with your free time. Don't rely on some algorithm to make your decisions for you.
Vonnegut's "invention" of Ice-9 in Cat's Cradle was brilliant.
In no real order

1. wide range of OS's you can target

2. no dependency on libc, you can build and copy over a binary to a machine and it will work

3. fast compiles

4. amazing stdlib, makes writing no to low dependency code very attainable

(imo) there's very little reason to start a new backend project in ruby/python/js when you can just use go and get better performance

It is neither impossible to follow or very hard. It just happens to be incompatible with US laws that grant local law enforcement access to stuff that is stored outside their jurisdiction, for customers also outside any jurisdiction.

I agree. And I suppose since it was so intrinsic to the operating system, if a 68k app worked in Mac OS 9 (some would some might not), you could continue to run it in the Classic Environment (on a PPC Mac, not Intel Mac) Mac OS 10.4 Tiger in the mid 20 00's!
Was anything verified online prior 2015? as I recall in the early days of the internet it was just trust nothing, what do you remember about validating online information prior to 2015?
Clickbait article. Yes the price will go way up. Oxfam claims the doses cost $1 to make (maybe, maybe not Oxfam is guessing). Of course the "cost" to crank out 1 shot is going to exclude R&D, continued testing, ongoing strain testing, the inevitable lawsuits that arise through the course of business, compliance, cold storage and distribution, etc. Yes Pfizer expects to rake in money. Yes there are plenty of other options out there.

The price is just a game for discounts, insurance deals, government payouts, all shenanigans.

Most significant, no reason to get too incensed by this article.

Might make sense to tax the people doing the work less and the people owning stuff more. Should be a homerun policy in any democracy.
> Requiring a salaried data protection officer is not feasible

Requiring a salaried health and safety officer is not feasible. Except it is. It doesn't need to be a dedicated officer, it needs to be someone (Company Secretary, the owner, whatever) who is accountable for it.
Mmm idk about keeping most of the profits - we could have done so much more in that regard over the last two decades. Missed opportunity to create something like Norway’s national oil wealth fund. Instead of offshoring most of the gains.
This is a silly post. It's easy to draw a 3rd degree connection from anyone who went to an elite school and important politicians.

You're saying: SBF's coworker's dad's former coworker is now the SEC head and that is the trick?

Getting hired by a firm like Jane St is a pretty strong signal that you are likely capable.
> Full-time employees spend nearly all of their active hours at work.

Perhaps this is not ideal?
That’s not what he’s saying in that clip.

From Levine’s column yesterday:

> “People on Twitter now are like “he admitted that FTX is a Ponzi!” but of course that’s not true. He conceded a certain validity to my claim that some crypto businesses — not his — are Ponzis. He is just in the business of trading their tokens.

“In fact, I came away from that conversation bullish on FTX and Bankman-Fried. My view was, and is, that if you talk to a crypto exchange operator and he is like “crypto is changing the world, your old-fashioned economics are just FUD, HODL,” then that’s bad. A wild-eyed crypto true believer is not the person to operate an exchange. The person you want operating an exchange is a clear-eyed trader. You want someone whose basic attitude to financial assets is, like, “if someone wants to buy and someone wants to sell, I will put them together and collect a fee.” You want someone whose perspective is driven by markets, not ideology, who cares about risk, not futurism. A certain cynicism about the products he is trading is probably healthy.”
And of course, the only reason "normal people" have "invested" in cryptocurrency is the presence of centralized exchanges like this.

These centralized exchanges are an inevitability and a requirement for crypto to function in the real world. You can't run a ponzi scheme without fresh blood, nor can you pump and dump shitcoins unless normal people can easily and quickly trade them.

If using a CDN that is owned by a US company is illegal in Germany, then how can Germans run international websites?

How would it be possible to hide a host that is behind CloudFront from Germans? I don't think is it possible. Even if you run an extra host like www.yourdomain.de for Germans, they could still type www.yourdomain.com into their browser and this alone would cause tcp packets to flow from their machin to CloudFront. There is no way to avoid this.

What can German indiemakers do now? Register a company outside of the EU?
Better than crickets, but I'll stick to beef thanks.
The biggest problem with the error handling is that it's not composable. It's better than unchecked exceptions, but that's not saying much.

The second problem is nil, use of which is common and doesn't enforce error handling.
Well, having a shutdown is just... inane. Should the government ever get wedged into a spot where there's no budget and no Parliament, the Crown has a duty to enact the most conservative (i.e. identical to the previous) budget as feasible and hold an election ASAP. The issue has never actually arisen in those terms here in Canada, but it's generally understood that is the constitutional procedure. If the government is not functional, then prevent society from collapsing in the meantime, and get a new government elected ASAP. Really, that's the essence of the reserve powers of the Crown.
I'm somewhat concerned about an app I host.

It's on Digitalocean and serves only EU customers. DigitalOcean says they are full GDPR compliant, but given the cloud act this seems impossible.

In some circles resigning from a failed tech venture is not seen as a failure. WeWork CEO resigned and is now promoting a new fully funded company in the same space.

FTX CEO has been openly lying about the impact for a long time now, and has mismanaged billions of dollars (of other people's money). Resigning doesn't seem like a reasonable punishment.
The US company may be the only part of SBF's portfolio that's worth anything at this point. I assume it's inevitable it gets pulled in.
Yes! Also, I forgot to mention "in my lab at home".
I’ve held BTC since 2011 so I think I get it. My point is the industry around it collapsing. It’s not just crypto crashing but the industry built around it collapsing at scale. This isn’t Mt.Geox level - this is .com level.
At least in PM land, director comp starts at $1M/yr, I'm sure VP comp is a multiple of that. The link you've provided is not accurate. Am Google PM.
This might be about the digital services act or digital markets act. GDPR doesn't discriminate even between large businesses and individual consumers.

Of course, a data protection authority will look at the circumstances, and the GDPR is 80% common sense, 15% communicating better what you do with people's data, and 5% required boilerplate that makes every privacy policy so redundant and dull and long that nobody reads it - but the point it, it does apply, as do most laws. Only when it's about monopoly positions that might disrupt the market, then exceptions are generally in place to protect newcomers that promote competition (or perhaps if you run a communications network only for friends noncommercially you might not be required to make it tap-able).
I recently passed half a million emails in my inbox (over 15 years), and 325K unread emails. I am hoping that someday I can extract intelligence from all of that data.
The EU isn't "the" EU. The GDPR was created by the elected representatives of the EU citizens. The EU commission consisting of representatives of the EU member state's governments are giving away the data.
Bringing up the atrocities committed by others as a defence of Russia is an interesting angle. You know that more than one country can do bad?

The killing of millions is hard to dispute. Take just one incident, the Holomodor. That engineered catastrophe killed millions and Russia now appears to be trying to wipe out Ukraine again.

(This is in general a kind of “life hack” — people who speak other languages will often use their own language to title+tag stuff even on otherwise English-language websites; so if you want to find stuff from a specific country, you can often surface higher-relevance content if you put your search keywords in the language that country speaks.)

hm.. What information would you use without a web of trust to validate information online? I think before 2015 we just said never trust anything online and everyone you're talking to is probably a 40 year old man trying to scam you. What is "thinking for yourself" in this case, using your confirmation bias to find the information online that validates your priors?
I somehow have optimism that over time, the US and world will emerge from our current dark days of poorly designed technology and lackluster education regarding information credibility.

You’ve jumped to conclusions. “If you work out like Mike Tyson, then you’ll definitely get into shape.” Ok I agree.

Yes — the smell of the formalin!

In 1970-71, my first year at UCLA med school, we spent four (4) hours 4 (four) days a week in the gross anatomy lab.

First semester was below the neck, second semester just the head and neck.

Fascinating; I enjoyed everything about dissecting our (4 students/body) corpse.

The only bad thing was the smell of the formalin: it was SO strong that my eyes would water every session: they/I never got used to it.

My "Grant's Anatomy" textbook, which was propped up on the cadaver tank every session to guide me, still stunk of formalin 40+ years later, so much so that much as I enjoyed having it as a memory of something I did that was really hard, I threw it away around 2010 because it made every closet or cabinet or drawer I put it in reek.

I suspect ventilation in the dissection room (120 students/30 cadavers) 52 years ago was WAY worse than it is today.

I'm surprised I'm not brain dead from inhaling superstrong formalin vapor 16 hours/week x 16 weeks/semester x 2 semesters = for roughly 500 hours that year.

Maybe I am brain dead!
Also, since the EU considers an IP address to be PII, anyone in the EU is not even allowed to connect to any website owned by a US company, as the IP address is a necessary piece of data to make the most basic TCP/IP connection work.

Basically, the EU has put up a legal firewall between the US and the EU. Somehow this hasn't been realized fully or openly talked about, the the implication of their law is very clear.
Protection through indirect tariffs?
Can I identify my employers, call out specific people with a large online following by name, and declare that they were let go for budgetary reasons?

No. I can't. For really obvious reasons :)

But I've seen this happen quite a few times. And given some private conversations with my managers (i.e. the people who decide who to fire and who to retain), when discussing layoffs at the time they were happening, it was pretty clear why certain people were let go.

This is just my anecdata. Even if I could prove my experience 100%, I still can't prove this as a universal rule, obviously. So it's just an observation of a few datapoints.

I'm in the general public. Basically anyone not in finance or economics I'd consider to be the general public. It's still important to know the trend to know how and where to invest your resource.
Scoopy in the Alchemix discord had this to say:
"If you are on any CEX or CeFi app or earn product, get out RIGHT NOW. Rumors are swirling and it is possible that none of them are solvent.

I am not kidding, really, get out now. I care too much for our community to not have said anything to warn you."

Not sure what that all entails.
I absolutely detest emacs' default undo behavior. I find it worse and more confusing than the normal simple stupid algorithm. With undo-tree, it becomes better than normal, but only very marginally so. I use the linear undo and redo it provides every day but only go looking at the tree a few times a year.
Ah yes, yet another “game theory” perspective. Seriously, what is it with crypto enthusiasts and making everything about game theory? What does it even mean in reality?
Does it also mean I can't use AWS in Europe?
Good idea - thanks, love the feedback :-)
I doubt it. Delicious was way, way bigger than anyone realized, and there were a ton of throttling protections in there…
This is my sense of what happened.

Alameda's bets went bad in the crypto crash earlier in the year. FTX loaned it up to $10bn in customer deposits against trumped-up collateral (its own token). Somehow, Alameda must have lost most of that money, either by using it to cover its liabilities from the crash, or making more bad bets. When it was leaked to Coin Desk that Alameda's balance sheet was padded with FTX tokens, confidence in the token rapidly collapsed. That obliterated the collateral protecting FTX's loans, ripping open a ~$10bn hole in its finances.
10-20% is not $160M+, it's $1.6B+.
That take frankly says more about you than about Elon Musk. Yes, his manner of speaking was unusual for somebody in his position, but it's perfectly compatible with great technical depth.
Ever since I found the 'highlight or hide search engine results' extension I have pretty much never browsed raindrop directly for technical stuff. I do still keep it around for the webpage highlights and tagging my twitter likes, though.
I guess that's perjury because it cannot be true! Even Snow Leopard didn't even include Rosetta 1. But if it was deemed necessary, it would download and install it on-demand, similar to how the Java system worked.
You need those interconnects though.

Here in Norway the electricity prices this summer and fall were up to 100x higher in the south compared to the north, due to lack of interconnect capacity between the north and south.

Building hundreds of miles of high-capacity interconnects ain't done in a weekend either.
A person who moves from Idaho to PR doesn't immediately become a citizen of PR, just like with France and Germany. They would still be eligible to vote absentee as a citizen of Idaho unless and until they become a citizen of PR.

Heck, I've voted absentee in my home county in California once while I was living in a different county in California.
Is that speculation or is there a proven difference with farmed algae?
> doesn't seem to be making much traction

What do you mean by this? By what metrics and what would qualify as making traction? Many companies use Go and many prominent and widely used open source projects are written in Go.

> it's Bell Labs heritage

I have never met a person (in person, offline) who has cared about this at all.

> pretty syntax

One of the most common things you hear as a knock against Go are things that explicitly do not lead to "pretty" syntax, such as its error handling.

Overall, your comment confuses me.

Framing is not bothersome so much as it is informative. It's the writer's decision to use the word "poached", with all the connotations and implications that carries. But they shouldn't be given free reign to set that tone and tell that kind of story without defending their choices.

This is a remarkable story in how much of it is devoted to the facts to allow the reader to draw conclusions. The author doesn't do much moralizing on the migration of expertise and IP, on hiring, and on the nature of competition between large tech corps. It's mostly a statement that Google/Apple/these guys were working on some project relating to search, then something happened, then something else happened, now they're at Google presumably doing Google search things, leaving the reader to wonder what's left of their efforts at Apple.

They wrote "With long and involved projects like search, it's not uncommon for staff to move between Apple and Google. In 2018, the same year Apple bought Laserlike, it also poached John Giannandrea from Google." when they could also have written "Another example in 2018 was John Giannandrea's move from Google to Apple." without insinuating malfeasance, ownership, a failure of loyalty, or anything that the word choice "poached" carries.
That market is already covered by the cheap dev boards, arduino clones and Chinese PLCs at considerably less cost than the officially branded parts.

My late wife was a physical therapist and in undergrad she had a gross anatomy class with a cadaver dissection. After the chest cavity was opened, they were supposed to go over the internal organs step by step, but her group instead found a plastic bag inside containing all of the organs. Apparently the autopsy had involved inspecting, weighing, etc. the organs which made for a somewhat confusing discovery once the class got in there.

Everything you say is true.

I would like to clarify that the regulations on "the financial system" have probably enabled just as much fraud as they have prevented over the long run. The financial system you speak of is a huge collection of bets and leverage and interesting interpretations of the truth ("why yes, your money is 'safe' with us!"). The regulations make it work just barely well enough that it only comes crashing down, what, every 10 or 20 years now? If instead of adding regulations and saying, "there, now it's totally going to work, put your money back in," I wonder what things would look like if we had instead said, "yup, loaning your money to banks/corporations/governments/individuals is super risky, learn from past mistakes!" ? Maybe people would only risk what they can actually afford to lose and we wouldn't get into these cycles where people get over leveraged, things crash, bankruptcy gets declared, and the poor and middle class foot all the bills. Over and over and over. A libertarian can dream...
They're going to raise their prices too. Obviously.
If someone wants special treatment (in this case, being allowed to ignore stop signs), then I would expect them to be held to a higher standard of behavior.
Except it is, to your employer. Unless you are close friends or family with the people who run the business, you are just a brand of coffee beans to them. (and if you are friends or family, these decisions will still need to happen, but they'll hurt ten times worse when they do, which is why you never do business with family).

Accept it, and you will have much better success when negotiating your salary and planning your career path.
