I struggle to see how this could be true after 4 years of President Trump and Elon Musk's various undelivered promises. It's not rare, it seems to be extremely commonplace.

I blame this on the implicit demands of the industrial markets endless fascination on the Raspberry Pi “platform” which has made actually getting your hands on one very difficult. Arduino is trying to also satisfy this market by offering a more targeted/discrete solution rather than a full Linux system. I think where they are misguided is that there are these sort of PLCs available at a lower cost today and people opt for the Raspberry Pi precisely for the flexibility afforded to them by a full Linux system.
Suggestion to remove the first one from your question. It is a good one.
This is the result the "crypto community" asked for. They may not have wanted it, but they asked for it. A combination casino/money laundry/ponzi breeding ground also comes with intelligent crooks who are capable of running longer games.

To be honest, you don't explain how they are wrong and then tell us that "SBF/Matt Levine" saying it doesn't make it true but both have a public recognisable background in finance, we have absolutely no idea who you are to even judge if you could be right or not.

Instead of debating semantics, enlighten us with how/why they are using it incorrectly and what you mean by this being a pump and dump and not a Ponzi. To me it definitely looks like a Ponzi: money from new entrants in the system go to pay off earlier entrants, a pump and dump from what I know would require SBF/FTX pumping up FTT to then dump it all leaving bag holders in the wake of the crash.
So this one is a fork, and infosec.exchange is a fork ( https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon ); are the mastodon committers opposed to incorporating those changes, or this fork situation is "as it should be" while these experiments run their course?

The point you are missing is that if I am an EU citizen, in the US, on my US friend’s computer even, your crappy “location detector” just denied me my rights as an EU citizen. No one cares if the IP address was thought to originate in the EU or US or wherever because that has never been enough information to tell if you are dealing with an EU customer.

If you're adamant on running US infrastructure for US users and EU infrastructure for EU users, you can do that by using GeoDNS/Regional Records.

But personally I find it easier to treat everyone as a EU user, and I store no personally identifiable information what so ever except information given by users themselves (like emails for registration), so maximum privacy for my users.

> Don't sell user data left and right, and boom! Your poor small business is in the clear.

It’s possible that I just misunderstand the landscape, I suppose. For my particular case though I work at a small business in the US that uses AWS cloud services for deployment of our application. One of the dependencies of our tech stack is an industry standard application (it’s ubiquitous in our space and has no accepted alternative in our industry) whose per-instance licenses cost are nearly half my yearly salary. After factoring in a second instance for HA, it’s a full engineer‘s pay. In order to make sure that we have a cloud offering that can be used without any data leaving the EU or talking to a US company, our overhead increases to the point that we’re running with one less engineer than if we could all use the same stack.

We do not collect any PII for longer than is needed to fulfill requests and we have no other revenue stream (no ads or connection to ads) other than customer subscriptions.

So, for my team, the impact of compliance has been painful.

If it turns out that I misunderstand some aspect of compliance here, I’m happy as that is good news for me.

I could not agree more. It is absolutely insane who much intellectual capacity the GDPR is binding, which could otherwise be used to innovate. It is a good thing to force companies to think about how their data is used, just as it is a good thing to make them think about network and website security. But the GDPR is more problem than solution.

Abandonded mines (with the environmental carelessness) and the coming revelation of abandoned oil/gas operations leaking greenhouse gases is just a slice of history on repeat.

It looks like insufficient bonds and bankruptcy just shifted cost burdens for cleanup to government.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/cleaning-abandoned-coal-mi...

https://apnews.com/article/business-mountains-environment-an...

Most of the issues with abandonded mines can be confirmed in several countries, but the profits from pump and dump do afford positive GDP (superfund cleanups, etc).

The ROI while in operation keeps it going and keeps the "we need renewables now" crowd focused on (someone elses) goal(s) :)

The oil and gas industries have already started transfering ownership to smaller companies to bypass obligations, so the cycle continues, with new lithium mining just coming on the heels of two other unresolved climate catastrophes.

So people who are barely holding on to the bottom rungs of the (American) middle class, and who are the traditional targets of multi level marketing (and also religious) hucksters?

That doesn't bode well for the argument that the crypto ecosystem isn't a set of scams, regardless of whatever the merits of the underlying technology has.
Because it’s not organic. Of course if you reject “conspiracy theories” then you will reject the answer.
I definitely see where you're coming from and I think these are valid points. In my personal experience though, there definitely does exist a market of "price insensitive, as long as it's under x". I think Arduino probably fits in there.

I feel like at least based on the quality of some boards vs clones that I have, there are definitely cases where I would have been "fired for not buying Arduino [IBM]" due to stuff like weird USB serial chips requiring driver hackery etc.

And I've definitely been in the situation where you tell someone it requires some part that costs "several hundreds of dollars" and they're like "oh no problem that's not an issue at all", because they were looking at the magnitude and not penny pinching.

I suppose that would be the market for this kind of thing. There's the other thing that you mention, where if you're using Arduino for this purpose, you might not be experienced enough to trust yourself to choose the right clone. Arduino provides sane defaults and generally the installations I've seen in the wild tended to use fairly close to "defaults".

Your comment has been good at generating some discussion around what makes Go special.

Since the sibling comments already addressed everything else, I'll talk about this one:

> For a compiled language it's not very fast

This is essentially true, _but_ a lot of Go users are coming from Python, JavaScript, and maybe Ruby and Go is much faster. Additionally, it comes _close enough_ to Java while typically having a much smaller memory footprint that it really performs quite well in a cloud environment.
Merit doesn't guarantee anything. You also need to do things in the right order in the right time and the right place, a decent amount of luck would also come handy.
I think the point you're missing about the GDPR is that it doesn't matter where your citizenship is from, your location is what matters. US persons in the EU is as well protected as EU persons in the EU. No matter where you're from, if you're in the EU, GDPR applies.

Edit: in order to make this discussion a bit more fact based, as some misinformation is starting to leak into it: I'm referring to Article 3 from GDPR, "Territorial scope". It states:

> This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union
I will not eat the bugs and I will not eat the algae.
IANAL

As it stands right now, it is not possible for a US owned busniess to provide a service to EU citizens legally, if the business handles PII.

The reason is partly due to the basic rights of the registrant granted by GDPR must be ensured by the data processor (the company), and due to the Schrems II ruling [1] that determines that GDPR is incompatible with US law.

The non-legalese version is that US law that gives Intelligence agencies (etc) the power demand a US owned (not just based) company to hand over any data including PII, means that the basic rights of the GDPR cannot be fullfilled.

That's not so smart is it? Hiring folks on sky high salaries. If you are a startup, the last thing you need is uncompromising engs from BigTech imposing themselves on your org. Make sure to beat it out of them or better yet, pursue those who have the potential to grow as the startup scales, and/or those who come on board with a more grounded set of expectations. Especially, if you're aiming longer term.

In est, you can think of the GG’s appointment as being done by the Sovereign — just with the nomination process delegated to the country’s current PM in order to minimize the Sovereign’s workload (especially for the Commonwealth, where they don’t live anywhere near the country themselves, and so don’t have an independently-legible candidate pool to choose a GG from. Back when Canada first became independent, appointing a GG independent of the PM would have meant a transatlantic voyage!)

Likely, if these countries were only just de-colonizing and ratifying constitutions today — where the existence of an intelligence service with global reach, directly reporting to the Sovereign, can be assumed — then the GG appointment for each country would be probably be done directly by the Sovereign, with MI6 analysts doing the nominations and then the countries’ PMs (or trusted delegate cabinet ministers) merely doing recorded interviews for the Sovereign to watch and evaluate.

There used to be a Mac program for this situation ("There's an app for that!", right?)

You start the program and it counts down from 10. At zero it disables sleep, and displays a warning screen stating that the computer is alarmed and should not be moved by anyone but the owner.

When the owner returns, he enters a password to end the program.

If anyone tries to move the computer in his absence, the vibration sensor triggers a screeching alarm.

Nim gives a bit more choice in many dimensions than many languages -- how to manage memory, whether to use the stdlib at all for things like hash tables, and yes, also syntactic choices like several ways to call a function. This can actually be convenient in constructing a DSL for something with minimal fuss. While `func arg1 arg2` might look weird in "real" "code", it might look great inside some DSL and you can just have it be a "regular Nim invocation" instead of something special to get that.

There are also compile-time superpowers like macros that just receive a parsed AST. That can be used to "re-parse" or "re-compile" external code as in https://github.com/c-blake/cligen. So, trade-offs like in all of life.

There is even a book called The Paradox Of Choice [1]. I think there is just a spectrum/distribution of human predisposition where some like to have things "standardized & packaged up for them" while others more like to invent their own rules..and enough variation within the population that people have to learn to agree to disagree more. (EDIT: and FWIW, I think this is context-modulated - the same person could be on one end of the spectrum about gardening and the other about software.)

I do feel like the syntax is far less chaotic than Perl.

All of these example trace their roots to extreme market distortions bought about by a massive direct injection of money into an economy that had partially shut down during the pandemic. The normal pricing signals were suppressed for the last two years.

The underlying mistake made in the biggest of the cited examples was to believe the distorted marketplace pricing signals.

The mistake made in the lesser cited examples was that getting rich from the deluge of fake money serves as proof of skill in other areas.

The process of normalization is now underway, and will continue for some time. If those examples in the article make you go "huh," just wait for what's in store as the receding tide reveals all of those bare bottoms and inflated senses of superiority.
Because a manager manages. Having weekly 1:1s with 8 direct reports is not “high bandwidth”. That’s normal bandwidth. 1 engineer doing all that on their own is incredibly high bandwidth.

Also, a high bandwidth engineer building all that is way more valuable than a manager building a team to do it, in terms of bottom line.

Sure managers are important and good ones produce results. But that’s not equivalent to a 10x engineer. That’s just the normal expectation for a manager.
Not to get too far off-topic, but WeWork was commercial real estate, Flow is residential:

This sounds completely different than WeWork, which had the simple goal of changing the world, one beer-Friday at a time.
