I believe it's mostly a state-by-state thing. The state laws I'm familiar with apply to "precious metal dealers", defined as people who are "in the business" of buying and selling. The laws require a state license and cover things like customer KYC, mandatory transaction records, criminal background checks, and restrictions on transactions with minors.

The critical distinction is between someone who is buying and selling precious metals, compared to someone who is "in the business of" buying and selling precious metals.

1. Tether has attested, under penalty of perjury in response to orders by a NY court that they aren't backing USDT with dollars, they are backing it with various financial instruments.

2. Tether has claimed, prior to that, that USDT is backed by dollars.

3. Since #1, Tether has not been transparent about their backed assets. Oh, sure, they say that they own X billion dollars of <some particular asset type>, but we don't know if those are AAA assets, or utter garbage[1], or whether they are counterbalanced by liabilities.

I love this. I’ve had an idea to do something similar for a while, except each visit would delete a random character from the page source. The character deleted might be part of the content, or it could be part of an HTML tag or CSS, so as the page degraded the layout would break and parts of the source would become visible.

We talk about bit-rot, broken links, etc, so I thought it would be interesting to take that a step further and visualize what would happen if a webpage decomposed over time like organic matter.
Betting someone will kill themselves or go to prison is far from constructive, and is triggering to many. Go to prison is one thing. Suicide is another. It's not a joke.

I also wonder if writing music was chore-like due to the genre the author chose, specifically four-on-the-floor techno music that has largely fixed and repetitive structures?

This music is meant to be mixed by DJs, after all, so consistency is really key to a lot of the techno genre. Of course, there are very creative divergences in this genre from artists such as Four Tet and Floating Points.

Would the author still have the same level of output writing songs with lyrics, where you're explaining a life-story or concept?

Yeah... I wrote yet another deterministic password generator.

Why? Well, because every other solution out there uses weaker algorithms and limits the length of the generated password. nullpass utilizes Argon2i instead of PBKDF2, BLAKE2b instead of SHA256, and ChaCha20 for a deterministic random number generator (which allows for a gigantic length).

nullpass has no dependencies besides libc.

The control protocol spec wouldn't be part of the physical connector spec, other than setting some minimum requirements so the connector meets the control protocols assumptions. The control protocol is, necessarily as your concerns point out, made so that things like resistance, water, dirt, and bad connections, all things that are expected states of connectors, don't pose a significant safety hazard.
Cryptocurrencies are not everything.
Be really careful with these types of businesses. It's not that they don't or can't make good money - it's that they do require a decent amount of work, especially at the beginning and if you are trying to turn them around. Machine failures are sorta frequent (and if you can't or won't do the repairs yourself, it gets very expensive), the stores have to be stocked / cleaned / maintained and theft is a real issue.

Most businesses are easy in theory, that's why people invest in them. The reality is much different.

Not true. The original version of the site required you to be a student at Harvard, then a student at select universities, etc. Eventually it opened to the general public, but the norms for Facebook had been set. You entered your real name, real city and state, real college, etc.

eMacs has the Church of eMacs backing it, so it might not be a good example of a normal codebase. I personally feel a compulsion to dedicate time to giving back to the eMacs ecosystem in a way that I can’t extend to any other codebase, and there are others that I likely depend on to a much greater extent.

Jokes aside and that being said, I agree that there is something helpful about slow, organic (in your words, conservative) growth. It’s neither necessary nor sufficient for stabilization, but it certainly seems to correlate. GNU in general seems to be a good example.

I have a lot of music gear, including one of those analog modular synthesizers that Eno mentions. It’s so easy to get lost in timbres and textures.

And then on top of that, it’s so easy to get inside of a great loop and just layer it up into a big, lush sound, but not a song.

More and more, I see the parallels between my history as a composer/audio engineer and software engineer.

After becoming an SE, I can dive into that same mode that I’m in when programming, but just building a musical composition. Or maybe it’s the other way around.

Anyway, both tasks require the skill of zooming in and out on the scope of what you’re building.
The market determines what’s low value, more specifically peoples willingness to pay land taxes determines what’s low value.

Suppose the annual tax is 100,000$/acre, a warehouse may or may not be worth it depending on how profitable owning it was. Similarly, a billionaire could decide spending 2 million every year for their 20 acre property is reasonable or a waste of money.

Where such scheme’s fail is really the implementation. Few local governments could stick with such a system rather than carving out exclusions.
It might be standard in that part of the world but it’s also crap jargon for all the reasons I outlined and saying it’s the “digital strategy of many European countries” does nothing to alleviate any of my concerns, only increase them.

Any sense of whether this is a consequence of their political activities (I know there are some who would jump to this conclusion) or is it just the downtown generally. I'd be curious to see if their interest on politics changes when they're under financial pressure

> but in every case the problem comes down to management.

This is remarkably naive and misses the big point. If a private company wants to dilute its profit by keeping on a bunch of unproductive or outright parasitic employees, then it is entitled to do so. It is competing in the market and this behaviour will be punished overtime.

There is no comparable incentive mechanism in government where they do not need to make a profit (they are funded off taxes which leads to far less end accountability to the people paying for the service) and in most instances it is explicitly illegal to start a business offering to do the same thing that governments do (as an example, I cant start up an alternative to the DMV to certify someone is fit to drive on the road).

The lack of competition and lack of market pressures allow for much greater inefficiencies to exist in government enterprises compared to private ones. This isn't to say government will inevitably be bad but any assessment of the problems of government vs private sector action need to take into account the important differences between their structures.

This change would have certainly increased overall risk so a new 510(k) would have been required if this device was already commercialized.

Y Combinator also backed a failed company [1] that was trying to take advantage of the high APR (20%) for UST staking.

Interesting. Then it's a tale of poor CRM, where you can't tie your support calls into the rest of customer flow.

Could totally see that if look up support purely by SKU and serial without thing it into rest of CRM. Hmm.

At a startup I worked, the only thing that kept "is this important" in mind was a rough list of importance in eng managers' heads. Definitely led to us misprioritizing customers.
It doesn’t require any mental model more complicated than email to understand this. They’re running a server so people in their org can have mastodon addresses under @archive.org. You can follow, send, or receive messages to mastodon accounts on the archive.org domain, but you can’t have an account there yourself.

Similarly, you can send emails to people with @archive.org email addresses, but you can’t send email from an @archive.org email address (unless somebody at the internet archive let’s you)

It really depends on your requirements whether this is true. Personally, a systems language I can use for web stuff is more useful and has a wider scope to me than running JavaScript or WASM in a systems role, even though it is technically possible to do so.

> Needing to rely on trust is a big problem that Bitcoin solves.

No, it doesn't. As soon as anything is external to the Bitcoin network, you now require trust. This is so well-known it has a name: the oracle problem [1]. Crypto Andys, of course, just double-down and say we need more crypto. Just like libertarians who when confronted with the problems of lack of regulation they will argue the solution is even less regulation.

> There's no single Bitcoin Chair than can tweak the policy or supply of Bitcoin that you have to trust.

Instead there's unaccountable miners who with 51% of the hash power can completely rewrite the rules with no recourse. Bitcoin has already forked multiple times [2].

> There are no charge backs

Chargebacks are a feature not a bug.

https://archive.ph/7Yoq5
Code does things. Code provides features. Therefore, the more lines of code software has, the more features it offers. This is another way of saying that number_of_bugs / number_of_features is a constant. Any added feature has some constant probability of introducing a bug. More features, more bugs. Pretty obvious stuff, if you ask me. Software with zero lines of code does nothing at all and has zero bugs.

Politics has nothing to do with their operating income loss on streaming (which is growing significantly but that clearly isn’t priced either high enough or that they aren’t making up the losses on from other parts of the business) and Disney as a corporation’s politics have been largely consistent since at least the late 1980s.
It's a consequence of changing sentiment. Big companies can always lose some workers and still make the same profit (hence more $ for management and shareholders), but tend to not fire those workers for fear of bad karma. But today every company is firing people so it's ok.

The issue with lithium is it is effectively illegal to process in most of the world that knows how to do it. The subtext in this article is that Australia is a major lithium producer ... because it has easy access to the Chinese refining pipeline which refines the cheap and dirty way.

If it were practical to refine lithium in the cheap way we know how, then countries with large lithium reserves (US & Europe) would be large lithium suppliers.

> The issues with lithium mining in Australia are no different to those experienced in the industry more broadly: open-cut mining carves deep scars in the landscape, often within ecosystems that are already under pressure

This is one of those "we just don't like living in an industrial society" complaints that NIMBYs come up with. It doesn't say anything and it is wilfully ignorant of the practicalities of maintaining the complex and raw-material-hungry world we live in. If you want products made using materials, you have to extract those materials. The environmental damage of open pit mining operations is nothing compared to the environmental damage and visual pollution of a large city. And you know what? Almost everyone chooses to live in a city. The costs are well worth it.

There are no alternatives. If you restrict open pit mining, you will not have products made of metal. We need industrial processes to maintain 21st century living standards.
