In the end, Bezos won't be a single digit millionaire any time soon. Any sacrifice he makes must be taken into the perspective that he'll still be so fabulously rich that he won't ever be like a normal person again. So this announcement doesn't really move the bar on my opinion of him. He's just a human being who hit it big. At least some good comes of it, but I don't expect the big problems with society to be fixed. At least he's doing what he perceives as the right thing. That's kindof how it works in the USA. Private charity is kind of our thing.
Yes. This is the attitude that open lawlessness breeds. Laws (enforced laws!) keep good people good.
I mean, Bezos started Amazon for a relatively modest amount of funding in a garage and built the "everything store" with a relentless focus on customer service. It's not like he's some 19th century oil baron. I don't want to fall into the trap of reading a mans mind from a distance, but you claim of "extractive mindset" is utterly unsupported and ideological.
That someone can make billions of dollars by creating a website while teachers and other workers who actually help people often risk their lives for shitty pay is sheer insanity.

Ask HN: How can I report a financial fraud ring?
A scammer contacted me on reddit to invite me to join his carding ring. They are using people's stolen identities to open bank accounts in their name, making fraudulent Amazon purchases with that account, and then selling the Amazon goods on ebay before finally laundering the profits through crypto.

I think the scammer made an error though, which is that he posted his coinbase account url directly in the invitation email.

The scam is structured so that all of the "students" send crypto payments directly to the ringleader; seems fairly simple to find the ringleader's account and then find the rest of the ring by tracing who is sending money to that account.

Here's the intro video I was sent where you can see the coinbase account (I copied the video and made a youtube backup):

The only time you'll be invited. Read thoroughly.

Online Carding is when you buy compromised credit card details for $10-$20 via autoshops (jstash, feshop, yalelodge, etc) and use it to place big orders on online sites like Amazon, BestBuy, etc.

Assuming you could navigate Amazon's fraud detection, you could place an $800 order using the card. What I do is simple, I provide a mentorship where I will (1-on-1) walk you through making at least $3,500 per week through routinely carding Amazon, start to finish, in exchange for less than 1/10th of the profit you make long-term. This is 100% digital.

ALL students make over $3,500 per week from this, some nearing up to $6,000.
What I'm about to show you is heavily substantiated with mountains of indisputable proof.

◉⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⊰ LEGIT ⊱⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯◉
Over 1,100+ positive rep on Empire from when I used to sell guides. (omnision | 2,900+ total rep, 4.93 ). Teaching carding since 2017.

TWO vouching channels where students routinely post proof of their success.

Students follow thorough guidelines when vouching, providing objective proof that their success is REAL and CURRENT.

Students join via Selly, which means ALL students can rate me & leave feedback, and you can see it prior to joining.

◉⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⊰ TIME ⊱⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯◉
MENTORSHIP: 5 days, 1 hour sessions per day.

AFTER TAUGHT: ~20 min to card an order. 1-4 orders per day. (20m- 1h20m).

That depends on how one looks at it. If spam and illegal content are considered, it may not be "working" in the sense a public service needs to be.

Email works because it's private, so the requirements are much looser; a large part of the article is how to solve the bad actors problem, which doesn't apply to email (well, it applies, but spam is more or less accepted as fact of life, while fake news etc. isn't - and it may never be, independenly of being right or wrong).

Theft and fraud on this scale is absolutely violence in some sense. Don't assume everyone that lost money could afford to lose it. The second order consequences of this fraud are likely severe.
The concern with left-pad isn't just that someone can break the build pipeline, it's that the author could just as easily have decided to push malicious code. By the time npm could react to that, your code base could already be compromised.

Each additional dependency you add is another vector for a supply chain attack. If you keep your dependencies to the large libraries (say, use lodash instead of a hundred tiny libraries), there are at least fewer people in your supply chain. But if you are depending on left-pad for its 10 lines of code (that still managed to have bugs), how many other random tiny dependencies did you bring in? How many individuals are in your supply chain? All it takes is for one of them to go rogue.

(Version pinning can help, but npm's default behavior is to accept minor version upgrades instead of pinning to the exact version that was live when you installed it. Lock files usually just get updated and recommitted without very much thought, so they don't help much either.)

You would have the same performance issue if the default was the opposite of greedy.
Oh yeah, it doesn't cover a lot towards either the private kindergarten or nanny. It's more of a "if we don't have the space, you at least get the same value monetarily as other people, since you pay your taxes to have access to this".
Here's how I think about it: Would you be OK if a handful of people in the world suddenly became septillionaires? A septillionaire could give $1trillion to every person on the planet every year for 100 years and still have 99.99% of his money left. How much power and influence over the world would someone like that have, while the rest of us have comparatively close to zero net worth and zero income? There are currently no upper limits in our capitalist system, so it's entirely possible for a person to have $1e24 or one day accumulate it.

I think almost everyone would think this should not be allowed, for obvious reasons. So, therefore there is some wealth threshold beyond which it is not good for society to let a few people accumulate. So, what is that threshold?

Multiagent Models of Mind – LessWrong
Once again, we have dictates and rules based security policy and no solutions provided.

If the EU is so concerned about cyber security they should:

1) provide A LOT of funding and support for Linux / BSD and other operating systems and flavors for testing, hardening, and rapid patch rollout

2) provide infrastructure to support such activities

3) use open source software actively in government with a focus on providing feedback and patches from government IT back to the mainline projects

A founding tenet of security is that open systems and techniques are the ones that will be most battle tested and therefore resilient.

Alas open source has terrible lobbying, so the closed source vendors can lobby politicians and policy to go the opposite way: prescribe closed source solutions and additional onus on open source.

If first world economies were serious about cyberdefense and hardening, there would be 10 billion dollars annually invested into the foundations of open source software: Linux/BSD, databases, webservers, browsers, programming languages, etc. The militaries alone should be dedicating this level of funding to defend our infrastructure, economies, and whatever technological edge we have over China.

And the EU in particular should like Linux: it originated there, and has strong roots throughout the EU, and most importantly isn't controlled by a major US corporation (unlike Apple/Microsoft) and therefore indirectly controlled by the US government.

Most people definitely do not read click-through EULAs in a business context any more than in their ordinary life. When Jira or AWS or whoever send updated policies to businesses on their public plans, almost nobody pays attention. The likelihood of being fired for this behavior surely approaches zero.

Very helpful, here's a more accurate way of making the same point:

Sounds great. Did you release it?
There are several Madrasas in Brooklyn near where I live. I'd never send my child to one, but the suppression of ethnic/cultural/religious education has a long and ugly history in the US. The first public religious schools in the US were cooked up to force Irish and Italian children out of Catholic education. Is that really who we want to be in the 21st century?
What we're experiencing seems to be the reversal of an overly optimist neo-futurist trend that started in full force in the wake of the Subprime crisis.

The bank created money because the borrower can use the money to settle other debts. When the creditor that the debtor repays with the credit card deposits those payments in bank accounts they become bank deposits in other banks.

I don't know about Twitter specifically, although the fact that Musk thinks they can run the company with half the pre-sale workforce gives an idea, but when I see the size of the engineering teams at many of those companies as reported in the media (I remember for instance that the size of the Uber team is in the thousands, or that Netflix runs 1,000 microservices), I am not surprised that there may be significant bloat.

For me the fascinating thing about the Tao Te Ching is that it's not a work of philosophy, it's more like Cliff's Notes for the self-evident structure of the Universe.

(The story is that Lao Tzu (which just means "wise old man") was leaving the city never to return and a gate guard stopped him and begged him to leave behind some written wisdom. The result is the Tao Te Ching.)

For example:

Every victory is a funeral for kin.

This is literally true: we are all related, we are all kin.

Or again, the passage on leaders:

With the best kind of leader
When the work is finished
The people all say
"We did it ourselves."

Obviously, there is a universe of wisdom on leadership compressed here into a handful of characters. All conventional ideas on leadership were summarized in the previous few verses, then completely destroyed and transcended in this verse.

And the whole book is like that. Chapter after chapter, the most intense wisdom condensed into the most evocative and inspiring verse.

In re: thinking it's true, Like I said above, it's not describing propositions that may or may not be true, like a philosophy or a religion. There's no story in it to believe or disbelieve. There is nothing like "God is Love" or "The Force is 42". There is no "Sky Daddy" in it. It's almost like a manual in Logic, like something Smullyan would write. E.g. "The Tao that can be talked about is not the real Tao." is straight outta Gödel, eh?

From the bloomberg article:

"The Mercers and the Allenders are among a small but growing number of wealthy Americans who’ve discovered how to bypass rules designed more than a half-century ago to ensure philanthropists stay accountable for the billions of dollars in tax breaks they receive each year. The key is the donor-advised fund, or DAF, which is so flexible that charitable dollars can sit in one indefinitely, and so opaque that no one needs to know either way.

...

In a study of more than 2,600 DAF accounts, the Council of Michigan Foundations found that the majority of donors paid out less than 5% of assets in 2020. More than one-third gave nothing to charity at all. The biggest sponsors of the funds have rebuffed calls to release that kind of account-level data, even as the number of accounts has swelled to more than 1 million. As of 2020, DAFs held almost $160 billion, an 85% increase in four years. Although the industry says it’s paying out more than one-fifth of its assets a year in aggregate, the reality is probably less: Some of the biggest recipients of grants from the funds are other funds, as donors shift money from one sponsor to another."

Would it be less a scam for you if they did a 1-to-1000 split and 1BTC was 15$?!

Using the sticker price to decide if a crypto/stock is a scam or not a very good idea.
Regulated banks and currencies have similar issues, for example:

- the government can print more money and devaluate your savings (it's like a form of tax one cannot avoid). But it is difficult to "print" more cryptocurrency.

- the government can put limits on amount of money one can withdraw from a bank account. So you legally have the money but cannot use it.

- the bank can refuse to deal with you under AML acts without need to prove anything. But nobody will ban you from mining and exchanging crypto.

- the bank can go bankrupt

The most reliable way to keep your savings safe seems to be to store it as gold. However, there are usually high taxes for buying/selling gold (because why let people store their savings safely) and often governments outright ban gold (folks from US are probably familiar with such situations [1]).

I think the vast vast majority of people just want to increase the balance of their checking account. The fastest way to do that with crypto is speculating on an exchange. I bet 95% of the people getting burned on these exchanges don't even know what a "wallet" is (in the context of crypto currencies).

While I enjoy 3blue1brown's videos they definitely fall under the umbrella of current gen "edutainment" where the goal is to make you feel like you've learned something without have anything really click.

Pretty much everyone I know who claims that 3blue1brown's video helped them understand a topic... doesn't really understand that topic at all.

3blue1brown's video can be fun for topics you already know, providing a bit of new perspective, but I sometimes wonder whether giving people the feeling of understanding without the actual understanding does more harm than good in the long run.
That's why I clicked. Ah well.

Agree they should have treated their reservations better, but their reservation holders were only going to help them lose money faster. It doesn't help anyone if they go bankrupt. I don't think they can just blame inflation although I'm sure that's a big factor in their increased losses, but watching some tear down videos, they have lots of opportunity to reduce costs.
I was able to view it in firefox focus on an android with no google account. i presume a private window and / or a browser that you haven't signed in to google should work just fine.
Sure, I get that. But why on earth keep all of it there? You can keep the majority of your crypto in a private address (hardware wallet, cold storage, metal plates…whatever) and only transfer/use as much as you’re willing to play/trade/convert.
