why can't banks do that? because it can't work, even though economists have convinced the world that it can, and supplicate the losses by stealing taxpayer money or making wars

crypto is supposed to be one bank for every person. don't know how we get there, but we are learning that traditional bank/exchanges should not exist
The reason to defend the definition of "open source" as it currently stands is to prohibit organizations from profiting from the accumulated goodwill of the open source community and movement without actually adhering to the ethical standards of that movement. We've seen in the past that companies will release source under an encumbered license and claim to be "open" as a result -- the FSF and OSI were founded in response to that type of maneuver.

As far as I can tell, it's been a success. The recent batch of nonfree licenses have all had to emphasize that they are not open source in the face of public backlash. Making euphemisms like "source available" unappetizing is exactly the point.

Furthermore, the OSI is just a group, as is the FSF. If the OSI and FSF folded tomorrow the definitions of "open source" and "free software" would not change. It's not necessary for the OSI to approve a license for the software to be open source, so "OSI Approved License" is not sufficient. "Licensed on terms compatible with the Open Source Definition" might be more accurate, but "open source" seems like an adequate shorthand.

From the article: "after it was revealed that multiple exchanges may have been “sharing” funds to post ‘Proof of Reserves’."

This is a good time to re-read Tether's "asset assurance consolidated reserves report" for USDT. "The Management of the Company asserts the following as of 31 March 2022 at 11:59
PM UTC: ... The Group’s consolidated assets exceed its consolidated liabilities. The Group’s consolidated reserves held for the digital tokens issued exceeds the
amount required to redeem the digital tokens issued. ... The reporting date is limited to a point in time as of 31 March 2022 at 11:59 PM UTC."

So, there was a moment in time when Tether was fully backed. But the accounting firm explicitly states that their opinion applies only to that moment. One wonders what the situation was the next day.

Tether says their reserves, as of that date, included $20,096,579,998 in "commercial paper". But whose commercial paper? It's known that Tether's transactions don't show up in the usual commercial paper markets.

Money is being pulled out of Tether (USDT) in big transactions. US$3 billion in the last 3 days.

None of this is definitive. But it would be a good time to get out of Tether. There's no upside, after all, and there is a downside.

the main point is familiarity, when trading other kinds of assets, the exchange is the destination. you buy it, and keep your assets there. deeeeep down the exchanges keep a hotline for you to ask for your share certificates or physical commodities, but they make it very hard, and when you get them you can't do anything with them easily. with crypto, the exchanges are just part of the journey and your wallet is the destination, it is very easy to get your crypto and there is an ever expanding set of things you can do with your crypto easily. people chose not to get familiar with that because its simply not the same user experience ("hard" wouldn't be the word I would use, just unfamiliar) and because they weren't there to use crypto at all, only attempt to profit from a delta in price differences or managed staking where the company lies about how much they are earning from staked assets and gives a little less to the user.

people chose to learn or lose their funds. pretty simple.

when it comes to "hard" versus unfamiliar, it will just be different people that chose to be crypto natives and self-custody and use on-chain services. its the same with every other advancement, there are still people that don't use ATMs and don't trust them due to the new problems that arise from their existence. there are still people that don't use discount brokerage firms because they are more familiar with calling their broker, computers are hard and they don't trust their money on the internet or services on the internet. its the same with crypto: nobody can stop you from becoming your parents, can't blame the user experience on everything.

We are developing UI in slint-rs for our product. Our eventiual target is IoT devices (cyber defense) though we are starting with desktops. We are a young startup and our experience is very limited in UI space so please take all of it with a pinch of salt.

One of our intern got the UI working with Slint in a few days and since then we didn't feel a strong need to move away from it. We found a few missing features: it was not possible to tell if a Windows is hidden or not. We ended up sending a few patches.

So far our experience has been pretty good with slint-ui. We are not tested the UI on OSX and Linux yet, only windows. On AWS machines with Windows server, the UI fails to launch sometimes because of some missing GL libraries. Also note the licensing of Slint-UI https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/discussions/379.

You mean "fragile". That kind of design likes to break on smallest component type change. It's akin to relying on compiler quirks to make your code work.

Sure, sometimes you don't have a choice due to various constraints but in general it is to be avoided.
I agree, I think crypto won't survive for too much longer. Just by looking at BTC price for the last six months it dropped -14,201.80 (47.23%)[1] and just in one day -434.70 (2.67%). I'll take about six more months to one year but BTC will cost below 5k soon :) This is my prediction.

> Binance is the issuer of USDT

Surely you mean Bitfinex.
Sure, but "free love or a polyamory" isn't sanctioned in the Bible, which is what that quote was about, in the context of But for centuries in Europe, and I'm making the comment equivalent of an eyeroll for treating "Europe" as equivalent to "Christian Europe."

Here's what I think is the Milton reference, https://archive.org/details/atreatiseonchri00miltgoog/page/n... .

> or it is said, Deut. xxiii. 2. a bastard shall not enter into the congregation qf Jehovah, even to his tenth generation. Either therefore polygamy is a true marriage,* or all children born in that state are spurious; which would include the whole race of Jacob, the twelve holy tribes chosen by God. But as such an assertion would be absurd in the extreme, not to say impious, and as it is the height of injustice, as well as an example of most dangerous tendency in religion, to account as sin what is not such in reality;"

His more in-depth discussion starts at https://archive.org/details/atreatiseonchri00miltgoog/page/n... , investigating each of the relevant verses from the Bible which the Church used to inform its prohibition.

(Note that while Milton died in 1674, the manuscript wasn't found until 1823, well after "Free love was invented in 1792".)

There isn't much about "his German contemporary Johann Leyser" in English, though I've verified that he was a public proponent of polygamy by reading the German Wikipedia entry at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Leyser .

Further, "Western Polygamy? Some Reflections on Witte’s new book" By Rafael Domingo at https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/55608020/Wittes_On_Pol... comments:

> Witte analyzes the writings of John Milton, Gilbert Burnet, Johann Leyser, Martin Madan, and others who argued that the Bible allowed for polygamy alongside monogamy.

These are not free love nor polyamory.

Because exchanges are the easiest way (by far) to exchange money for crypto, and they also make it as easy to transact as an investment app.

The alternatives, as far as I know, are to find a friend willing to give you some crypto for money, or to buy mining equipment and get crypto from that, or to find some trusted physical exchange to pay cash to and trust they will pay the crypto you bought into your wallet.

Even after you get in, you'll have to create and manage your own wallet for every crypto you want to trade in (though an on-chain DEX could in principle handle that for you, I believe none of the popular ones do, based on previous discussions). There are probably apps that help, depending on how much you want to go trust-less.

That's a good point, and it took me a bit of trials to force Chrome to print canvas in vector. The article links to the MDN <canvas> demo [1], which doesn't print in vector if you try it. But you can run the following in the console and then try to print the same page, which will be vectorized:

window.onbeforeprint = () => {
window.canvas.width |= 0; // clear the canvas
draw();
};

So I guess, for now, this behavior only manifests when you use the beforeprint event.

I recently built something similar with a 4.2" panel based on these instructions: https://georgik.rocks/weather-display-for-lilygo-ttgo-t5-4-7...

I think I might have seen that link here, either here or Reddit.

I tweaked a few things but it's basically the same code still. I slapped a 3500 mAh 18650 in it and it's been running now for a month and a half while still showing 89% battery remaining. If that pace holds up it'll be in the ballpark of a year of operation before it actually needs to be recharged.

Once an hour it wakes up, connects to WiFi, retrieves the information, updates the display, and then goes back to deep sleep. It's awesome, other than it being too small to comfortably read where I want to put it. Eventually I'll upgrade to a larger display, but I haven't seen any offered as reasonably priced standalone modules with a WiFi capable MCU attached out of the box like this one.
That is a weird perspective.

Free software has always been about freedom and licensing just as a technical aspect. At some point open source rebranded this and put more emphasis on the advantages this gives you as a company as opposed to as a user (which free software highlighted).

So, legally speaking it is just about the license, but humans exist and have opinions. For instance people like projects to be developed in the open and not android's throw over the wall. That doesn't make it not open source, but you have people complaining that it is not "proper open source".

> If they don't that is okay.

Legally yes, in practice people grumble and won't contribute.

Something about Lencioni really bugs me. There is no other business writer about whom I feel that strongly.

He's extremely ad-hominem and paints that picture of that "dysfunctional team member" (read "asshole"), and his whole idea of an organization basically boils down to saying that you don't want an asshole in it: Don't risk hiring an asshole, even at the risk of a huge false-negative rate in your hiring decisions. Cleanse your organization by instituting a witchhunt for assholes and putting them through the wringer to make sure they're reformed or fired.

Contrary to what Lencioni preaches, I believe that management is about selecting teams comprised of individuals who know how to do stuff, telling them what to do, and giving them incentives to make sure they actually do it.

Lencioni seems to think a manager is like a spouse who cares primarily about who their spouse is, or like a mother who wants their child to be a certain kind of person behaving a certain kind of way.

This ad-hominem level is precisely what you learn to steer clear of, if you've ever taken a course on conflict management. Focus on the issue, not the person. ...it's also borderline illegal in certain jurisdictions. For example in German employment law and constitutional law there is the idea of the "allgemeines Persönlichkeitsrecht" which says that basically, while you can discriminate between employees on the basis of competence and what they accomplish for you, you can't discriminate on the basis of who they are or what kind of person they are.

I once worked in a workplace where managers high up the ladder were very fond of Lencioni's writing, and pushed the philosophy on middle management too. The place just felt unprofessional and cult-like. I felt I was constantly under pressure to prove that I wasn't an asshole, and whenever I'd disagree with a manager, it was hard to even just have a meaningful conversation about the topic of the disagreement. Instead, the conversation would immediately turn to this unspoken accusation that I might just be an asshole for disagreeing in the first place, and now I needed to prove that I wasn't one, or else my career would be deeply in jeopardy.

I strongly advise reading Lencioni, and then thinking long and hard about how not to fall into the trap of thinking about organizations the way he does.
It's not ever a surprise that rules differ abroad, it's that rules can be surprisingly backwards i.e. they make the lives of people doing day to day things harder. That's when people remark on rules (and sometimes in the positive when things are easier than they're used to, but your example is not that).

Most folks – yes. By your definition Donald Trump is a millennial because… wait for it… he was born before the turn of the… waaaaaait for it… millennium.

Language often evolves in seemingly unintuitive ways (e.g. lunch), there's no "corrupt in our cultural conscious" going on. Someone born in the early 80s is going to have much less in common (especially in terms of technology) with someone born in the late 90s. By 1997 the oldest millennials were starting to have kids who would very clearly not belong under the heading "millennial".

I think you are asking if people with insider knowledge might place short sales orders, and the answer is yes. but selling short isn't only done by people privy to insider knowledge; a person who has built extreme expertise in ${whatever} might have reason to believe a price will drop, and in that belief choose to sell shares not currently in possession. this is possible because there is a few days lag between sale and delivery, so the person profits if able to buy shares to deliver at a price lower than the price at which the shares were sold days earlier.

(like, promise something, sell it now, and deliver it days later, purchased in the meanwhile for less)

i often wonder if the practice arose because of physical lag in delivering paper-based shares of corporations many decades before everything was electronic.

Most languages need some runtime. In the case of Lisp it starts with the basic memory management, since Lisp by default needs a garbage collector. This memory management is usually not provided by the operating system. It needs a basic interface to some OS stuff, threads, etc.

A Lisp executable then can be one file which includes a runtime and the (compiled) Lisp code. One could also have these as two separate files.

The there are two basic ways to provide the Lisp code: it's either just compiled code or a memory image of containing the code. SBCL uses the memory image approach. ECL (Embeddable Common Lisp) uses the 'compiled code' approach. ECL compiles to C and then adds the compiled C code to its runtime.
0.03% is a ludicrously small amount to make for losing to arbitrageurs. It may work with lots of sideways action but crypto tends to go in one direction for a long time so most LP's lose.

For that matter, though, a lot of people who buy the top lose.

Crypto needs to have more UTILITY. The financial sector in general is just overleveraging the normal economy, this isn't just crypto. Ironically, Bitcoin was started in response to the 2008 financial crisis, where the govt repealed Glass-Steagall and then bailed out the banks. At least here, the government isn't bailing anyone out with taxpayer dollars.

And look... in China it's not much better. Their real estate bubble is very reminiscent of 2006 USA ... Evergrande is just the most well known poster boy.

Another "covfefe" scandal on our hands?
To be honest, I find the Maori example a bit strange, but it isn't like people do not impute their own religious beliefs or more blandly, their culture into science or what they learn. The only thing that may make it slightly distinct is this is a directive from a government.

I once had an acquaintance in grad school who was studying string theory, and he connected what he studied to his fundie christian beliefs, for example, he talked about how multiple dimensions required by string theory explained how God worked in ways we could not see. Again, I found it odd, but I respected his work regardless, which was not that bad merely looking at the research.

Perhaps there's a difference between jurisdictions? In the US a notary only stamps that you are authenticated (ie, not fraudulent) and that the document is what it claims to be.
> That's bankruptcy.

So you're saying for a small UG you should always spare 1-2 years (most likely more than 1) in case you decide not to pursue the business anymore? I'd rather spend 2-5k on other things.

Apart from being an absurdly high amount for something that can be read out easily from any sane accounting system (thanks Germany for basically forcing everyone to use Datev, which they obviously only sell to professionals, so that's how a simple task becomes 2k+ per year [0]).

> Maybe they do want to make sure that the process stays legitimate

That doesn't really solve the problem, I've had clients with GmBHs who ended up not paying what they owed me - just because they pay a lot to accountants, notary, the state etc. doesn't make the business more sound. Conversely, you can handle a legitimate business (e.g. selling expertise in form of consulting projects) much cheaper and with less time invested elsewhere.

Maybe if everyone weren't wasting so much manpower on inefficient systems, things would actually work.

The added burden of dealing with personal tax, the high price tag for it along with social welfare (which only helps in highly rare circumstances, e.g. when I literally don't have anything anymore - which I don't need because of what I've invested) and the time lost just don't add up.

I've lived in many countries, small, large, rich, poor, and I think Germany is the worst among them to start a business (and also to live, but everyone has their preferences) unless you have a really good reason to be there.

To start something you need flexibility, low overhead, and not to waste time you could be using to talk to customers and build something, rather than deal with bureaucracy. Germany offers neither.

[0]: one quick note on the side, I've used Collmex to do my own accounting back then after I had to fire my tax accountant for absurd things I was being charged and to wrap up the business that I wasn't working on anymore. For me it worked out - in principle what is accounting: you want to track receipts and transform them into a balance sheet and P&L statement + a few of the extras you need in Germany, like VAT reporting. Still a massive pain to transform it into what the tax agency wants and get the info what that actually is, I think it's hard on purpose to waste people's time and direct them to tax accountants that overcharge.

Anyway, time invested vs. paying someone to do it probably doesn't fully add up but I learned a bit more about accounting which is nice to have in any business context.
It doesn't apply to 99% or maybe 99.9% of tasks, but given enough development time, it applies to most business applications eventually.
