It was later reversed on appeal.

It's important to note that they didn't just send it to some random company, but rather to creditors.

> Under New York law, someone who sends out an erroneous wire transfer—for example, sending a payment to the wrong account—is entitled to get the money back.

> But the law makes an exception when a debtor accidentally wires money to a creditor. In that case, if the creditor doesn't have prior knowledge the payment was a mistake, it's free to treat it as a repayment of the loan.
That’s my point. Though, maybe there is something to be said for blocking things like OWA vulnerabilities as compared to generic xss/sqli detection rules.
The Quadriga guy did the same thing (although he didn't bother calling it a hedge fund).
Donations from employees, not the company itself. The company can't force the employees to donate in a specific way (or maybe they can. I don't the know US laws, but that would sound unethical)

I have used Plex for about 12-13 years but am very very far from a power user. I find it mildly annoying I need to login but other than that I've not noticed anything that annoys me. I admit this is most likely due to how little I use it and how non-advanced that usage is. Given this, is there any value add to Jellyfin for someone like myself?

My read on this article is that it gets back to an earlier, more raw state of Plex. For my use case my interpretation is that would mean extra work for potentially lower quality, and unlikely any value add given that nothing annoys me about current Plex. Does that sound right?
I believe Hans Moravec also used compression to find classes of cellular automata behavior, with similar reasoning wrt entropy.
Dlna works really well for me... on linux with a PlayBin media renderer. Which will support essentially any media thrown at it. I've definitely found tv's and sticks to be very hit or miss eith codecs, need transcoding too oftenm But dlna worked pretty nicely when I used it with a competent media renderer.

The appeal is being able to have some network connections to other people's media servers too. Making the media server less of the primary focus is a shift, & handling media-providers as replaceable modular systems would be a step up, & is essential for group-usage to evolve; something we technically cant really do effectively now.

I do very much see your point that Jellyfin has a lot of good capabilities for media-watching. I'm stillfeeling strongly like media providing/serving is a different role tham media consuming, that many of these responsibilities could shift to a more local-centric android or tv app that expects you to have used general file sharing systems to coonnect up.

Good discussion thanks. Shout out to the other mention of transcoding, which definitely plays a part too. Setting up a fuse mount to transcode your stuff to a given quality & them file-sharing that too would be doable & still "generic" versus a specific media-sharing system like this, but yeah, it's more into the cobbling stuff together realm.
So you're saying they should torture him first, extract some money, then kill him?
Instead of having an inflationary currency, you have inflation in the number of currencies.
> "We acknowledge that this may seem a tall order given the public perception of this case," her lawyers said in the filing, urging Davila to see beyond the "media vitriol for Ms. Holmes."

What you say is true.

However, for sure that will get out eventually.

If that happens, I would then look at other search engines as well.

Most people wouldn't once they get used to doing it one way, so that's all to the good for Kagi. But people like me wouldn't then use it, which is what life is about - your own personal choices.

I prefer to pay for services because at least there is a slight chance that they will follow their business plan.

But nothing stays the same for forever. As a consumer, we must also change to the changing environment. I'm completely weened off Google, for quite a while now, for example. I'm paying for everything that I use. But it is so little as to be laughable. For example, I use tutanota for my email, first account is free and subsequent ones are $1/month. Big whoop. $12 per year for private emails. I have a number of emails through them because I segregate all my emails - one for just friends, one for business, one for education, etc.
THE big argument in favor of cryptocurrency as a concept was that it freed people to store and transact value without interference or oversight by governments and institutions.

A big argument against cryptocurrency was that those governments and institutions had developed financial oversight for a reason.
The value proposition was uncensorability, irreversibility, non-inflationary nature, and permissionless nature.

It's a tool that can be used for good or evil, just like the personal automobile, which was also abused in early years for malicious ends - just as telephony, the internet, and a number of other technologies were.

Criminals are early adopters of new & emerging technologies, that doesn't make those technologies inherently evil.

Also, why lump drug transactions in with weapons / CSAM / cc fraud / assassinations? Most drug buyers are not hurting anyone.
What he did is already illegal.
i added some clarification to a previous comment on the 'blocking' i mentioned earlier -- yes, it seems the Mastodon apps either cannot, or will not initially, outright block hate servers.

i think part of the santa clara principles is to make it easier - more profitable even - for more organizations of all types to run their companies in a way that is consistent with human rights -- which i would guess is the main argument of the principles -- free speech, human rights, etc.

as opposed to, ok, i'm gonna spin up a new mastodon server, or some other website, or protocol, or whatever, and i'm going to make up some set of dos and don'ts and... just kind of hope for the best i guess.

so, you can say things like the Principles don't or should not apply to small servers/sites/services/etc., but... i don't suspect that's the idea. it's just saying, if you're a bigger org, we have some recommendations on how you should operate - in case you are curious and don't want to have to come up with it all on your own, and want to be in compliance with this particular standard so you don't have to worry about HRW protesting outside your door, and maybe it's even good for your brand, etc.

as for the expense of moderation, point taken - maybe we should have an actually-public digital town square. government-run. quasi-governmental. non-profit. worker co-op. a few different ways it could go. we still have plenty of physical public town squares -- why not some digital public town squares?

i would guess part of the reason that organizations don't want to adopt the santa clara principles is that it at least implies that organizations or companies have human rights responsibilities -- and that can be a real drag on the bottom line, and probably opens a massive can of worms.

to me, i get it -- it's like... if i start a business, and my employees want to form a union, my heart is like yeah, obviously, but my head is like, are you gonna kill the business??

The closest thing that existed like this when I was in college almost a decade ago was an MFJ antenna tuner. It would tell you the impedance at a single frequency, only one port, and that was it. Stopped at... As I recall, 300 MHz. Cost around $250. Anything better was EASILY four figures.

I can buy one today that goes to a GHz or so for under $100, plots a full smith chart, measures both S11 and S21, and even does TDR. Absolutely insane how far things have come.
> crypto is generally bullshit, the leaders are mostly grifters and its good to see the tide finally revealing them for who they are.

All the grifters who hopped on post 2020, yes

But the actual implementation of a p2p electronic currency that cuts financial institutions out of the equation? This isn't bullshit, just math. There's a reason why the NYT is so hostile to crypto, and it isn't "the environment"
Yeah is MASH also on their streaming services?
The price of ETH fluctuates, eg. 260 ETH today is probably worth a different amount of USD than it was a week ago.

It's probably better for clarity if the discussion is had in terms of ETH transferred, not USD value of ETH transferred.
Those lawsuits are necessary in order to protect free software.

It’s hard not to complain about downvotes, but worthwhile. The goal is to write for an audience, and to foster curious conversation. Sometimes votes reflect that, sometimes not, but we always have control of what we ourselves write.

In this case, it may be the snark. I recently fell victim to this myself a couple months ago. It’s very easy to be snarky without really meaning to; doubly so about topics you care deeply about. The “low, low cost” bit is hard to read as anything else. (It’s what kept me from giving your comment a deserved upvote, because you’re right. But the conversational quality supersedes merely being right.)
In 2012 I found out about Bitcoin (founded 2009) and Ripplepay (founded 2004). I thought the former could go up in value a lot but I liked the latter much more as an actual peer to peer payment system.

Here is one of my posts from that time.. looking back on it , I encouraged Bitcoin as an investment back then, but cautioned at the end of my blog post about its prospects as a currency:
https://magarshak.com/blog/?p=148

My cofounder tried to get me heavily into building on crypto and smart contracts since 2014. I told him I was already building a decentralized network since 2011 (qbix.com) and so stop pestering me.

Eventually, I looked at the space and saw many problems. Including lack of real adoption as a currency. So in late 2017 we started Intercoin.org to solve them… and followed all the regulations. As a result we raised “only” $555K, filed a Reg D with the SEC, etc.

Crypto and Web3 Smart Contracts have so much potential to do to world finance what the Web 1.0 did to publishing and Web 2.0 did to communities socializing online. It has the power to enable decision making and governance and tokens and contests and much more. But first it has to grow up. NFTs and Memecoins are first-generation crap, like <blink> and <marquee> tags, and myspace profiles, or Pong / Arkanoid.

In the same time that Bitcoin and crypto has existed, WeChat has rolled out a payment system that has the most mainstream adoption of any on the planet - millions of merchants in China. Here is what a decentralized version of that would look like:

https://intercoin.org/presentation.pdf

And there are many more applications:

https://intercoin.org/applications

We aren’t the only ones. FileCoin is working on the FVM and MaidSAFE is next-generation. The Web 3.0 world has been corrupted by centralized privately owned entities, just like the Web 2.0 world. Some of them were actually funded by YC and the VC industry, such as OpenSea. In a world where Elon owns Twitter and Zuck owns Facebook, people are looking for viable alternatives.
I posted a comment on this in another thread but probably worth repeating here. This is going to be THE compliance case study on two things:

1. Access controls - If the CEO can secretly manipulate records, it's obviously game over.

2. Compliance is sort of an all-or-nothing game. You either do it all, or a sufficiently motivated party will slip through the cracks that you leave.

The inclination towards reductionism by the more intellectually-minded folk.

We want to isolate a small chunk of a phenomenon and understand it really well, but in the process divorce it from its context.

We analyse cognitive performance in terms of a few isolated carefully selected variables rather than acknowledge that it is dependent many other variables present in its environment - physical, emotional, social

Good for developing expertise in a narrow domain, but perhaps not so good for developing a balanced worldview
The ad-hominem isn't advancing your cause lol. Rust defaults to the MSVC toolchain. Surely you knew that. You have to go out of your way to install the incompatible GNU toolchain.

You're the only one here complaining about MSVC. Have you stopped to consider why Rust and Odin and so many other languages are happily depending on MSVC instead of the alternatives? Or does none of that matter and your opinion is the only correct opinion?
War is not good for the economy. This should be completely obvious based on common sense, but if you want more evidence, consider the widespread hunger in Europe after World Wars I and II, even in the countries on the winning side.

Sure, if you're away from the areas of destruction, you can perhaps make money selling weapons to the belligerents, but I think today one would be foolish to think that a major war can't possibly affect you, where ever you may be.
I think it's funny everyone is complaining about Plex forcing you to sign in... and the first thing Jellyfin does when you click "see it in action" is force you to sign in. Just saying...
Sure, but you are not forced to use shitcoins. There will naturally be some cryptocurrencies that are worse than others, just as there are FIAT currencies worse than others (e.g. Venezuelan Bolivar vs the Swiss Franc). Consumers being given a greater choice offers opportunity for them to choose to use currencies with superior qualities than the ones they would otherwise have access to. Like with other choices in life generally, the consumer has a responsibility to make an informed choice. While failing to do so has adverse effects for the consumer, it is not the fault of the currency that the consumer made an uninformed or poor choice, no?

Some of those regulations make sense when crypto or any other asset is being custodied by another firm. But with crypto it is possible to self custody. Unfortunately, not enough people do it. Most of FTX's clientele were high-risk perpetuals traders.

FTX had both a US and offshore location. US regulations do not apply to offshore entities.

SBF's parents are financial compliance lawyers and Standord professors. His dad has gone in front of Congress to argue for various tax and compliance regulations. What SBF did was criminal fraud, and he was equipped with world class compliance advice and yet here we are. A brazen theft of billions of dollars by a risk-addicted, self-delusional altruist.
When I looked into Jellyfin last year, the main problems were:

- Can't connect to people's existing Plex servers.

- Can't just invite someone without storing their password on my server. No support for (e.g.) OAuth2.

I see they implemented a dark theme:

This might seem pedantic, but there is always a build system. Even a basic C compiler knows how to include header files, find the system libraries to link in, and so forth.

A number of languages have compilers that are smart enough to find and build all your code, if you don't have any dependencies. It's, as others noted, the dependencies that create most of the difficulties.
CO2 scrubbers exist. They're commonly used by deep water divers and as part of anaesthesia equipment in hospitals.

If you're happy to do DIY stuff, I'm sure you could buy some and hook it up in your house.

Some things to beware of:

* CO2 scrubbers can turn some not-very-dangerous pollutants into highly toxic compounds. There are various papers suggesting that they seriously impact the mental health of people undergoing surgery for example.

* You need a lot of CO2 scrubbing to have any impact. Unless you need a wheelbarrow when you're changing the filters each week, your filter is probably too small for a typical house.
My point was they only address the most simplistic case.
Thank you for the good faith feedback, I appreciate it and will try to avoid the snark moving forward.
The problem is that this only really works well for "documents". Most webpages are anything but "documents", even those that do mostly focus on text.

Of course, HTML templating can help a lot with that: adding footers and sidebars and so on. But it's still no good for "web apps".

Raising a simple observation: the distinction between 'children's content' and 'adult content' is a helpful fiction without a boundary. Children's content is really stories about how people should behave, or what situations might arise that they will need to deal with and stories for adults are much the same. Adults aren't more sophisticated than a teenager, they just have better impulse control (which isn't really a factor in consuming stories) and experience (which means they reject some poorly-told stories as impractical but doesn't come in to play with great storytelling).
Time for some game theory...
> Also, why lump drug transactions in with weapons / CSAM / cc fraud / assassinations? Most drug buyers are not hurting anyone.

The marketplace for all of the above (except assassination) was the same - Silk Road. I remember seeing different sections for weapons, credit cards, fake ids and drugs, but I don't remember seeing a section for CSAM unless it was masquerading as something else.

In TFA they mention a insightful case study:

“Most clinical trials try to track every single possible data point about patients, thus inflating costs. But Landry and Horby’s trial could carefully strip down the data needed to the essentials, focusing on information that could easily be collected from medical records. “

A couple sentences later:
“The result was a single study, RECOVERY, that determined more than any other what medicines could help Covid patients.”

I know there are inherent issues like high energy consumption in the technology. But I believe that blockchain and the decentralization has some value to it. For example where I'm coming from, I can't accept payments via PayPal, it's nothing to do with PayPal but our government is not pushing to meet the requirements to get PayPal to our country.

Also we can't hold USD due to government regulations, if we get the transfers via a bank, so every USD is converted to local currency which is getting devalued faster than USD.

Therefore for people like us the easiest way to get money is via the blockchain.

I think the problem is not with the technology but with people who used it to get rich quick by running these Ponzi schemes and used the technology to create things that doesn't improve the way we transfer wealth but instead used to invent NFTs which is again a get rich quick scheme.

I hope this does not mean the end of blockchain and crypto as a technology, but just as the bursting of the dot-com bubble, we will see some good companies and ideas emerging out of this crisis.
