Yes, if the relationships were as far removed as you suggest, but it's parents, friends of parents and donor recipients.

SBF's parents are Stanford lawyers who specialize in compliance and ethics. Alameda CEO's dad runs the economics department at MIT, where the current SEC Chairman was a professor. Sam was a key crypto advisor to congress and a top political donor. All of these people turned a blind eye to Sam and FTX and Alameda when it was their job to do the opposite.

FBX's chief lobbyist is a former CFTC commissioner, who is now distancing himself. https://twitter.com/EpsilonTheory/status/1591194581843836928

Nepotism and corruption played a role here.
Couldn't this prove the point that we don't equate movement with intelligence, though? Who's to say animals also don't possess this intelligence? Maybe we'd have to go down the chain then, to more inert species like plants and fungi, though they also possess intelligence I can't begin to comprehend.

Wiki was quiet about Caroline Ellison's family but a random post on the internet just happened by and the claim is her father is Glenn Ellison.

https://economics.mit.edu/people/faculty/glenn-ellison

but p.s. the whole comment is worth a paste:

SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s old boss at MIT was Glenn Ellison. His daughter Caroline Ellison is the CEO of FTX sister-company Alameda Research (and Sam Bankman-Fried’s lover apparently).

The GC of FTX used to be lead counsel to Gary Gensler when he was CFTC Chair.

Sam Bankman-Fried’s mother was Hilary Clinton’s lawyer.

Gabe Bankman-Fried, brother to Sam (also a former Jane Street trader), is founder of “Guarding Against Pandemics”. He was a Legislative Correspondent for the US House of Representatives and an advisor to large political donors in the Democrat party.

The family Aunt Linda Fried is a WEF member on the Global Agenda Council on Aging.

The father, Joseph Bankman, is a Stanford professor who has lobbied on behalf of Hedge Fund managers before Congress before (film records exist).

FTX Head of Ventures & Commercial at FTX Ventures, Amy Wu, started with the Clinton Foundation years ago.

Nishad Singh FTX Director of Engineering has spent over 8 million for Dem candidates.

Obama's Commodity Futures Trading Commissioner, Mark Wetjen, was the head of FTX Policy & Regulation.

Chief regulatory officer of FTX is Dan Friedberg was previously a lawyer at Ultimate bet (a site where they basically cheated against players).

Stuart Hoegner General Counselor at Bitfinex/Tether was previously Director of Compliance at Excapsa which was responsible for the Ultimate bet poker software.

Water is actually not very conductive at all which is why you need to install ground links if you break into an existing grounded pipe.

And the purpose of grounding the pipe isn't to use the pipe as a ground (some very old electrical setups may have done this), it is to prevent the pipe from getting energized by a wire or something resting against it. If the pipe is properly grounded, that'll short out a breaker.
For what it's worth, silencing my inner monologue was what finally helped me overcome depressive and anxious thoughts. My negative self-talk had gotten so out of control due to my ego that I came to expect failure. I think that's why meditation is so effective for shifting into a positive reality.

Also I tried kava yesterday at a local kava bar and discovered that one of its psychoactive effects is that it silences the inner monologue. I found myself observing the world with childlike wonder, full of gratitude for life. It's popular in the Pacific islands and can work as a substitute for alcohol.
> and a negative $8bn entry described as “hidden, poorly internally labled ‘fiat@’ account”.

> Bankman-Fried told the Financial Times the $8bn related to funds “accidentally” extended to his trading firm, Alameda, but declined to comment further.

Oh look, $8bn just appeared on the balance sheet. Where did they come from? Doesn't matter, surely they are legit. I mean, I have so many billions, $8bn is pocket change. Lets use the $8bn for trading immediately.
Zero-calorie vices really are better for aging gracefully.

The Spending Clause pretty clearly says that Congress, not the President, gets to spend the government's money. Forgiving a debt for previously paid money is not exactly the same as spending new money, but it seems pretty close.

Contrast that with, for example, abortion. Was Roe a "legitimate legal finding" to you? Show me where in the Constitution it says there's a right to that?

There's definitely Supreme Court decisions where conservatives act on a partisan basis rather than based on legal reasoning. Gonzales v. Raich, the homegrown cannabis case, is a good example. But it's quite bizarre to criticize conservative judges for being "partisan" when liberals don't even try to hide the fact that they read the Constitution according to "how they want it to be."
Every mobile operator has stories like this. Back in the GSM times the common theme in Europe was people using illegaly imported devices made for the US market. The unlicensed 900 MHz band in the US fell right into the GSM band in Europe. Apparently the worst offenders were wireless security cameras.
Did you look at the precursor? They explicit address user verification of the hardware, right down to using simplified translucent PCBs for the keyboard etc. so you can see it hasn’t been tampered, and using an FPGA for the CPU so you know what the processor is doing.

> The ground would be floating, and thus wouldn't ever trip the GFCI. There would be no path through the GFCI for the fault current to take, making the system just as dangerous as having an ungrounded conductive case.

GFCI works by detecting an imbalance of current on the intended path - i.e. between live and neutral. For an ungrounded conductive case to create a electrocution risk, there must be an alternative pathway through the user's body and a potential difference to create a current on that pathway. Whenever these conditions occur, there will be a live-neutral imbalance which will trip the GFCI before any harm is done. In contrast, with an ungrounded conductive case and no GFCI, if a fault creates a situation where electrocution is possible, the only thing that could protect the victim is the circuit breaker, but the breaker must allow sufficient current for normal use, which is well above the threshold for lethality.
Stock buybacks aren't equivalent to dividends if the stock subsequently loses that value. Then it's much worse than a dividend.
If you are running or cycling it is VERY important to stretch extensively afterward. Perfectly "healthy" and trim cyclists and runners can end up with back problems that lead to all sorts of health problems because they have not stretched the legs and core regulalry. Ham strings tighten up like steel cords and can ruin your back...especially if you sit for significant periods of time each day. I have learned this the hard way.
The same state that will argue that companies like Facebook need regulations because they are not beneficial to society, is now going to try to argue that they are beneficial?
Thanks! We're thinking through the right architecture; it's a question of whether WebKit will get Insertable Streams soon enough, or if we'll need to create a custom client. Our preference is for users to not need a custom client, because that's one more piece of software they need to keep up to date.
Mostly the fact that the US litigates so much. The courts haven't been on vacation in the mean time, they've been processing cases you'll never hear about.

(downvotes notwithstanding: the US court system is quite literally full, which is why these things take so long. Even if a judge wanted to, their schedule often simply isn't open until months, sometimes more than a year, later)
You can have multiple ground points per building as long as the ground points are bonded to each other.

You can only have a SINGLE tie between neutral and ground.

What we don't know here is if the piping is tied to a grounding rod, or if there is a grounding rod or if the piping is the ground point.
I think a bigger problem is that a pseudo-file is not actually an especially good API for any use case. It's a sort of compromise solution that makes nobody happy. The sockets example is a good example. What programmers want is a function or OOP style API where they can pass strings, type safe structures and so on, but a file is just a stream of bytes so they invented some ad-hoc socket-opening-protocol thing, presumably so you can shell script it. But then shell scripts want to use higher level protocols so it's not useful for them, and programs would wrap that pseudo-file with a library API anyway, so it's just an implementation detail and not so great for that job either. Like, it can introduce a world of parsing/escaping/versioning bugs, race conditions and overheads.

In contrast a custom syscall that takes a structure is a more direct interface, more suited for writing actual programs.

It also means the API is much more tightly defined. Everything-is-a-file can create a lot of edge cases just like how HTTP creates a lot of edge cases in web programming by pretending everything is a document. What happens if you delete /dev/draw, what does that mean? You need to define the semantics of that. Does it mean closing the window? What about trying to move or copy it - does that make sense? Do you have time to think about all these operations and give them meaningful results?

Once you go down the road of saying that there should be a consistent set of operations you can perform on conceptual 'objects' using a generic set of tools and commands, you may start to wonder why you'd pick a file API for that. Why not just invest in objects as a core tech - why not allow binding directly to an object in a remote process or over the network and then have methods and functions actually work? Why pretend it's a file and force everyone to constantly invent mini-protocols and formats, when types and functions are what you need 90% of the time anyway? That's why Microsoft ended up going down the DCOM path, why Apple ended up with XPC/Mach, why Android/BeOS ended up with the Binder and so on. The Plan9 approach wasn't taken up in any big way because if you're going to make a big effort to unify everything it might as well be around objects, not files.

Unless your OS is virtual machine that checks the structure of the user program, at some point, your typed data will have to be a set of numbers and/or a byte stream. Granted, the set of numbers required for utf-8 `connect` is a little less efficient than your system call no. but that's hardly a highly typed API. Anything with less mechanical sympathy that's designed for _any_ user program to access it will have to pay similar costs.
One thing I've noticed more and more is that I've been trained to _not_ click links in a page but search for the same thing in google. Hyperlinks are now the navigation bar inside a website and little else. Checking the last 10 pages I have opened the majority of them from reputable sites either don't have links or don't have useful links.

It's kind of bizarre that the main selling feature of HTML is basically lost today.
With the abundance of software around I'm pretty sure that the're plenty of GUI authoring tools. According to quick Googling I can see that there's Adobe Animate which is successor of Adobe Flash and it supports HTML5 output.

I don't think that asking from modern software to work on Pentium 3 is reasonable. Software should work on a reasonable percentage of user computers. Pentium 3 is definitely outside of this definition. You didn't ask for Flash to work on 8086, did you? I'd expect it to be a challenge to even run Google Chrome on Pentium 3.

I thought this might be of particular interest to HN webfont geeks, as the default font here on HN is Verdana (where available)!

It's truly a testament to Matthew Carter's genius that these fonts - designed in the early 90s for inclusion in Windows 95 - are not only still around but actively thriving all these decades later.

BTW, if you're a fontophile and you haven't seen Georgia Pro, you're missing out. If you have access to a Windows machine, it's available for free on the Microsoft Store : https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/georgia-pro/9N9DZG1X... (you're then free to copy your legally licensed download to another machine and enjoy it for personal use! The font will not be under C:\Windows\Fonts but rather in the new per-user %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts directory).
This is an interesting looking product.

It is a bit amazing that people that do very bad things and cause huge prejudice that will never be fixed can get away very easy. 15 years is nothing to joke about, but if you do the math of how much money per year that means, it is better than working for a salary and a lot of people would go to prison for 1-2 years for that kind of money. "hey, who can I defraud of 50 million and I get 1 year of prison for it?"

If I understand the article correctly, there are levels to this situation which make the "crime to be a journalist" situation a little complex, and worth unpacking.

It doesn't sound as if the Texas law under which Villarreal was initially charged can be used any longer, so the "crime to be a journalist" claim isn't that a journalist has or can be convicted under this particular law.

Rather, the contention is over whether the police have qualified immunity, and whether a civil case can be brought against them, which hinges on whether violations of ones rights are clearly established by case law. The "crime to be journalist" claim applies in the lesser sense that cops can investigate, charge, detain, harass a journalist with no consequences.

> The charges were eventually dismissed as baseless and the law ruled unconstitutionally vague. But those officers were given qualified immunity for violating her First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and 14th Amendment rights when they arrested and detained her, thus preventing her from holding them accountable in civil court.

https://reason.com/2021/11/03/cops-arrested-her-for-exercisi...

But, bearing in mind that these judges have been speaking about whether the Laredo police have qualified immunity concerning their 2017 actions, I think the key question is what is the future impact of the Texas law having been found unconstitutional -- in particular does it change what constitutes a clearly established violation? I.e. even if Villarreal cannot sue the Laredo police for their actions in 2017, in 2022 when police know this statute is bad, can they still investigate/charge journalists with impunity?
I'm pretty fond of the one I have, but more financial security would help. I live near my favourite cafes, all the hobbies and sports I engage with, near all kinds of people some of which I'm thankful to get to spend a lot of time talking with regularly, easy access to public transport and relatively liberal set of restrictions, access to greenery and nature, grocery and everything else within walking distance. But I do live in a no-room basement suite, and that's somewhat vulnerable to the decisions of the owners, and to secure my own extremely modest apartment would be a mortgage of over $600k.

Translucent material is a smokescreen. No user can verify if the wallet is really doing what it is supposed to do by looking at it.
Any transaction that involves dollars involves American banks due to correspondent banking. That means there's jurisdiction in the EDNY or SDNY because that's where all the banks are. America also has jurisdiction over its citizens conduct. It may not be the SEC or even a securities fraud prosecution but if the government can find emails or logs that show intent or show that he was sending money to Alameda and trying to evade internal compliance controls he can be found guilty of wire fraud. The fact that he owns most of Alameda doesn't help him either.
You’re ignoring the largest risk - that your coins become valueless because nobody wants them. This is entirely beyond your control.
1) this is not the market. It’s just blockchain txns.

2) trust me when I say, no one in crypto except some very very select exchanges actually know how to make a market trading software. They think they can compete with NYSE which is large and employs such incredible talent that it still survives in a really tough industry. They’re likely closer to my grad school project, which even I can tell you, sucked absolute balls.

Not all buddhists are good (so don't be confused by that golden statue or the buddhists outfit of the politicians). There is a sect of buddhists known as "red caps" or "sorcerers". Unlike traditional buddhists, that sect worships desire, nihilism and practices certain rituals that have nothing to do with buddhism. This sect congregates in Bhutan, Sikkim. They would certainly support this cult of materialistic desire.
That's not counterparty risk.

The harmony bridge hack by Lazarus group (north korean actor) is a good example:

The first address used is 0x0d043128146654c7683fbf30ac98d7b2285ded00

It's a bit harder to trace using public tools because they immediately start splitting off the various coins to other addresses, but looking at just the USDC:

They split it off into a single purpose address that is just responsible for converting it to ETH. They do this via private transactions utilizing uniswap v3 and a set amount just about every minute (they settled on ~2M). If you scan through them their slippage is very good here. If you wait a bit of time you let the arbitrage bots move funds from wherever is available so your slippage isn't so bad.

account responsible for USDC conversion: https://debank.com/profile/0x58f4baccb411acef70a5f6dd174af78...

This account was also responsible for a number of liquidations: https://debank.com/profile/0x9e91ae672e7f7330fc6b9bab9c259bd...

They again show good slippage and also show that they use 3 different exchanges

After they've converted everything to ETH with good slippage they then fan out to multiple accounts that then do a series of deposits into tornado cash at 100 ETH each.

They were done with the liquidation within 2 hours. This attacker is still liquidating as far as I can tell

If someone's suit is thrown out over qualified immunity, can one sue the federal government over qualified immunity itself as violating their civil rights?

I've tried to comprehend the logic of it, but I gave a very hard time. It's like the judiciary decided there is a set of ways ones civil rights can be violated, and they all were discovered before a specific date.
