Yes, exchanges shouldn't commingle their assets with clients funds, yet they have large operational outlays (coding &security, traditional financial fees, meth & luxury condos in Bahamas, etc.) that seem unlikely to be coverable with trading fees alone. Even if we allow them to work like banks, they still can't seem to justify the tens of billion valuations.

> Decentralization refers to being able to use money electronically without any third party's permission.

Decentralization refers to many things, it depends on the discussion. I explained the scope of my statements in the parent.

> Non mining nodes...All they can do is relay blocks that the miner decide.

You are wrong here, they also do validation which is why its important for wallet owners and services to run their own nodes even if they dont mine.

>Do you ever stop to think about why other cryptocurrencies don't need a second layer?

Yes, it is because they are highly centralized chains that might as well run on sql and/or ghost chains with no users.

>Do you think the optimal throughput is a few kilobytes per second worth of transactions for the whole world?

Yes, offchain transaction batching is a good scaling strategy. Satoshi recommended it as a solution.

>Have you ever done the math on this?

Yes, bitcoin full nodes are much cheaper to host on a vps than ethereum full nodes for that reason. Larger blocks = more bandwidth and hd space = more time to download and fully validate. I assure you, running one costs a lot more than 10$/month. Perhaps you should check the math on your claim.
I think once crypto gained traction beyond early adopters into more mainstream people it became an "app" and that "app" was the exchange and non tech, non crypto people don't put more effort into it then that.

What is alarming and becoming more revealing is how much of this crypto was being back-doored from one crypto "product" (exchange, fund, coin, ICO, etc.) into another. In programmer terminology: it looks like there are (were) a lot of pointers to the same memory address.
It might not violate the fine print, but if their advertising or other official communications give the wrong idea, they could still be on the hook for misleading customers.

Most people don't care about abuse in general, as long as they don't see or experience it directly... and especially if they get some benefit from it occurring.

How many people knowingly still shop at places (like Primark, which is huge and well known for sourcing goods which are made by child labor) just because it's cheap, and they're ok with trading their personal savings for the harm of people/creatures they can't see?

It's not so different from the most people who don't care about pollution as long as it is not in their back yard. People are greedy and stupid, and the human civilization is destined for failure.
I agree that "Ponzi" is probably technically incorrect. This piece by dirty bubble media has a more nuanced definition and calls it a "flywheel scheme": https://dirtybubblemedia.substack.com/p/is-alameda-research-...

IMHO, the moral failing is simply being too credulous of SBF's claims and not digging deeper. A lot of the stuff getting posted in the aftermath was content already available before FTX collapsed. In particular, the conversation with Matt Levine where SBF basically describes a Ponzi scheme comes to mind.

An exchange shouldn't count deposited crypto as their asset. It is an asset of their customer.

I do not think the actual problem here is crypto exchanges being unprofitable. Even if a crypto exchange goes under, it could (and frankly should) still be able to go under gracefully, e.g. letting all customers withdraw their assets for a month (and E-Mailing private keys as a last resort).
The issue here is crypto exchanges severely mismanaging the assets of their customers.

Banks need to be heavily regulated because they are investing the assets of their customers. An exchange should not be doing that, it should be holding customer assets and making them available on request.

It would seem that there are other failures and frauds predating Bankman-Fried, wouldn't it?

While I'm told that the ideological and technical underpinnings of crypto are designed to avoid government regulation, I hope that he is prosecuted thoroughly for any crimes he may have committed.

But further, I hope that this high profile Democratic donor drives Republicans in the House and Senate to support strong regulation on this burgeoning financial asset class/stateless currency (I'm still unsure of what it is). And in fact stronger regulation on the financial industry generally.

Yeah, no. Starlink security team congratulated this guy on his hard work in person at DEFCON and gave him bug bounty "hall of fame" status.
It gets fixed by largely replicating the traditional finance system, which would of course be completely pointless. The whole point of crypto is to evade government regulations, which means this kind of stuff is inevitable.
>I agree with your general point that the EU does not know how to make life easy for small businesses

Is this even an EU specific thing?

I set up a company in the UK, and the only thing I needed was a number to do tax returns. The only other required thing is the tax returns, and that only gets you to the level of the typical American who has to do tax returns anyway.
I use QuickTime screen recording and then after trimming the video as needed run it through GIF Brewery. My team had been on GitHub for a decade and at least when we used it GIF was the only way to embed video. We've switched to GitLab, and while I can drag and drop the 50% smaller .mov I've found myself still taking the extra step to convert it to a GIF. GIFs auto play and auto repeat, it's just nicer for demonstrating UI changes, especially with a Before/After table.

>browsers can still talk HTTP/0.9 and HTTP/1.0

For now. It won't be too many years before the mega-corp browsers not only drop early HTTP support but they drop HTTP/1.1 too. They'll do this in the name of "security". And then all that Chrome based browsers will support will be their very own invented and open-washed QUIC in the form of HTTP/3 and hosting a personal website visitable by a random person will not be possible without continued permission from an incorporated entity. HTTP/3 implementations by Google so far have made it so that Chrome CANNOT establish a connection without a proper certificate authority based TLS certificate. I give this change about 3 years.

You can argue that you can always get a CA TLS cert from another entity if, say, the incredible centralization of all the personal web into LetsEncrypt somehow goes bad. True enough, but if the pressure group can pressure LE it can probably pressure $otherCA too. And frankly, having to get the continued approval of any incorporated entity to host a website is just not acceptable. LE is currently a benign overlord for good on the web. So was dot Org for many years. But if it's made valuable enough the pressure and corruption will come.
I think so many cryptocurrency users avoid maintaining their own wallet for the same reasons most people (these days) don't store all their wealth as cash or gold under the mattress: it's both inconvenient and easy to lose.

Of course what folks are seeing now is that it's real easy for exchanges to lose their buttcoin deposits too.
I agree with you, but context definitely matters here... With all the dominoes starting to fall, there is nothing wrong with moving funds out of exchanges or to a temp address. This seems equivalent to going cash in the equity markets as a hedge. I would go even further and claim that it would be foolhardy to not take this random Discord advice if they haven't already figured it out on their own lol.

> 96% of house seats were won by the party that spent more in their race.

I don’t think the causality here is clear. A lot of companies/billionaires/millionaires and even regular people tend to donate money towards the people who are likely to win the race. If you wanna be in the good graces of the person representing a certain district in the House the best way to do that is to make a bet on the likely winner ahead of the elections.
From what I understand, if I have a project licensed under the Apache license, I cannot use Slint in the project. I'm no expert about this stuff, but here is what the Apache foundation has:

> Apache 2 software can therefore be included in GPLv3 projects, because the GPLv3 license accepts our software into GPLv3 works. However, GPLv3 software cannot be included in Apache projects. The licenses are incompatible in one direction only, and it is a result of ASF's licensing philosophy and the GPLv3 authors' interpretation of copyright law.

> This licensing incompatibility applies only when some Apache project software becomes a derivative work of some GPLv3 software, because then the Apache software would have to be distributed under GPLv3. This would be incompatible with ASF's requirement that all Apache software must be distributed under the Apache License 2.0.

> We avoid GPLv3 software because merely linking to it is considered by the GPLv3 authors to create a derivative work. We want to honor their license. Unless GPLv3 licensors relax this interpretation of their own license regarding linking, our licensing philosophies are fundamentally incompatible. This is an identical issue for both GPLv2 and GPLv3.

Most other programming books I had used had almost no examples or practice problems. https://www.coursera.org/learn/build-a-computer for learning about how a computer worked. Again it clicked for the same reason. Examples and practice problems instead of just descriptions.

> Even when consumers follow Apple's own instructions and turn off "Allow Apps to Request to Track" and/or "Share [Device] Analytics" on their privacy controls

Reading the description in Settings for both of these switches, we learn the following:

1. Allow Apps to Request to Track specifically "Allow[s] apps to ask to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites." This clause clearly doesn't apply to any internal analytics process.

2. Share [Device] Analytics is a bigger issue, and is the problem. The switch says that it sends information about how the user uses the operating system and Apple services. That clearly includes the App Store, so switching this off should switch off App Store analytics.

Including the first point seems stupid, since it muddies the claim against Apple.

A note about the App Store privacy information. It (separately) indicates that they collect the information this article alleges - so Apple IS disclosing it. However that doesn't change the fact that the Analytics toggle reasonably seems to apply to the App Store as well.
While there’s certainly something to be said for being forced to share space for an extended duration, speaking as someone born and raised in Boston, it’s not super uncommon to see strangers interacting on the T. Maybe the overwhelming numbers of students has something to do with it, I don’t know. But it happens from time to time. What I have no perspective on is if this is true, or not true, of other dense metro US population centers.

Anyone know how a way to run a personal site for around $50 USD or under a year that can be pointed to a custom domain? My wife does some rug making and wants a portfolio available to show off her art, but we would prefer not to pay $10-20/month for such a site.
It would be fine if it were only an exchange. If the only assets are those of the customers deposited, then everyone can withdraw at the same time without issue. The problem is that they are also lending on margin, which means they are lending customers money to use to buy more crypto.

Each customer has their margin loan secured by the crypto in their account, but in a steep drop in crypto valuations, the value of the crypto can drop below the loan principal. And if individuals don't cough up the cash to pay the balance, the exchange is on the hook for it.

And it gets worse. Where does the exchange get the cash to lend in the first place? They borrow it, of course. And like the individual traders use the securities in their account as collateral for their loans, the brokerage uses all of the securities they hold as collateral for their loan. Problem is that they don't own these securities, but rather hold them on behalf of customers. So in a situation where the exchange as a whole is undercolateralized, the brokerage as a whole can get a margin call. And then they will have to liquidate securities they hold (your crypto). This means that even if you are a customer with a low risk portfolio, you can lose your securities because the exchange took on risk to finance someone else's risky trade. This exact process happened at MF Global back in the financial crisis, and would have happened to a lot more firms if the government hadn't bailed them out.

Margin lending in the stock market is heavily regulated, and I'm sure you can see why. Crypto is the wild west. A lot of lessons were learned about this in the crash of 1929, and the crypto market is learning them now.

Very true. Business used to be about the honest exchange of value. Now almost everything is a scam. I've seen it with my own eyes over the last 30 years. It's horrible.
ah.... so it "has" already caused some problems. in that case it does look like an interesting idea....

btw, firefox has a first party translator that is on-device so that works nicely, btw
Sure, I can understand there's a difference. But what's not equivalent with what happened in FTX? It's essentially a bank run without the ability to get a lender of last resort. Banks are just more protected in this situations, but in the end they are still playing the same game as the crypto exchanges.
What anti-semtism are talking about?
Journalists, government officials, enforcement agencies are not separate from society, they are embedded within it.

Some social movements develop and the person which is perceived as the leader of that social movement becomes popular. And with popularity come free passes.

Now a smart person will make sure not to use free passes because they know that the populace is fickle, their infatuation too shall pass and as soon as it does pass then the backlash is going to be 100 times worse.

So if they do any media they'll do their best to put a stop to the ass-licking in order to make sure that they'll not be using a free pass.

Then you have those who don't care and instead try to accumulate as many free passes as they can, say because they are old and are projected not live to see the crowd turn against them, or for whatever reason.

Luck is also important. Take Nixon and JFK. One conspired against his opponents and the other stole Illinois. Both are very serious crimes, only one got to live to see the truth uncovered and crowd turn against him, the other is hailed as one of the best Presidents.
I completely agree that "Ask Apps Not To Track" is not the problem here - the fact that the Analytics switch doesn't work in an Apple service is the problem.

It's like how hacking or computer UIs are depicted in 80s/90s movies. When the general public doesn't have a good understanding of a technology or the technology doesn't have a good foothold in peoples' lives, you can make these crazy fantastical representations of what (the future of) these technologies might be.

I'm sure some people had the imagination when they first saw radios and how they were removing wires from some devices to think about what this meant for any device with wires.
> I think the best time to remind those kind of people of this, is when they get fucked over themselves at some point.

Alternative POV: that's the worst time. At those moments, the person is unlikely to be very receptive. They'll see it as proof that you are a bitter, vengeful person not worth listening to. Yes, that would a bit hypocritical of them, but that's humanity for you. That hardens people, leading to exactly the kind of cold-hearted comments the original commenter was talking about. Also, you will have foregone an opportunity to show contrast with a better way of being around other people. Lead by example, and all that.

I suggest that the best time is a while after such an event, when they have recovered from it but it's still fresh in their memory. While they're feeling good about having received help, that's a good time to remind them that giving help also feels good. I've seen people's attitudes get turned around by that, vs. never by forsaking them in an hour of need.
With your description I am guessing that what you call FIAT world is a financial system that is regulated where in fact banks (not exchanges, although they are also regulated in terms of what they can do with whatever is deposited and how they create revenue) are forced to hold cash to handle the risk and ensure some safety for the deposits.

> If this is true, how does it get fixed?

So far the only way to fix this seems to be with regulations, which seems to go against one of the main arguments in favor of these assets.

I like what Deno is doing, it also has a bunch of great features. The functionality of it is great and the execution is sharp.

However, my main gripe with Deno is that it's tied to one company and it won't solve issues that it doesn't have. As an example of this, a version of nodes cluster module is not supported so there is no way of running one deno process per cpu which is very bad if you're hosting it yourself and want to utilize the full potential of your hardware.

It also means that if your app is bound to some CPU heavy action, like generating a large excel-file or similar, your app will go down since no requests will be processed due to the single thread nature. Of course, such actions can be solved with a web worker but what if you make a coding mistake which renders an unhandled exception? In this case the app would probably go down and if the end user for example does the same action over and over again (which end users tend to do in frustration), the app will go down again and again.

Deno as a company has probably little interest in solving this as the solution is to run it on their paid service. You could of course have several servers hosting the app, but that gets expensive real quick especially if you are a small shop. Another example is to run the entire app process as web workers but then you need to spin up many processes that all have their own ports which you need to add a load balancer in front of it. This is kind of advanced and adds unnecessary complexity to the app IMO.

Also, if Deno the company company fails, what then will happen to Deno the project?
