I'm from Argentina but live in the UK: in 2020 my mom needed an urgent oncological treatment and the only method I had to transfer the money was using a cryptocurrency. I really don't like to talk about this stuff but when people here in HN keep making arguments like "oh who needs this stuff, I can send money to my friends with the Monzo app" it really makes me feel like my problems as someone from the third world don't matter at all

Well I reckon government (or a government-like entity) owned is as close as you’ll get to have laws enforced while not being privately owned (as in by an individual or a corporation).
On macOS, you can already close all windows without exiting an application, so Discord does not violate any established convention. (Clicking the red traffic-light close button does not usually close the entire app; Cmd+Q does.)

On Windows, there is no concept of applications at all, only windows. Perhaps you can try to mess with processes, but there's not even any mechanism for activation of a process that would even allow it to begin to work in any way similar to macOS's model.

So yes. Closing all windows, on Windows, is widely assumed to terminate the associated process. This is why apps like Thunderbird, for example, close entirely when you click the X, and only actually go to the system tray when you click minimize.

Interestingly, with Discord on Windows, Alt+F4 completely closes the entire app. The close button is implemented by the webpage, however, and closes to the system tray instead of actually closing the window.
A good SF accountant can probably walk you through this if you don't want to go the more expensive lawyer route. If a lawyer is needed, an accountant will be able to tell you that.

Not a lawyer or accountant, but for $3000 in income, I don't think you have a lot to worry about.
The difference, of course, is that Amazon's market cap has actual assets and cash flows behind it. The liquidation value of all of crypto on the other hand is approximately $0.

They lied to the judge to get the warrant. Would it surprise anyone that they lied about other things?
I don't have enough experience with those to answer I'm afraid, I guess it'd depend on the number of electrodes and their placement.

The big problem with those recordings is the skull which acts as a low-pass filter over the signal that goes into your electrodes, more so than the equipment (within reason). So it could go both ways.
Appreciate the candid feedback! We started with use cases that are relevant for most communities, and plan to build out the functionality to make it more comprehensive. We recently added ability to query external APIs, and triggers through webhooks (you can check out NBA's discord which has live game threads powered by our bot builder). But agreed with you that there is more work for us to do here.

What sort of organizational things have you built bots for? Curious to hear about, so we can build towards that :)

depends on the stage, at some stages you are just pitching the growth (maybe even just the future growth), not the current financials, which may be terrible for any number of reasons.

That, or fraud, of course.
> And seriously, why would you ever want to do a "plain clothes" no knock raid?

Because you're serving a warrant on a dangerous suspect, who you have reason to believe has community support? (e.g. someone on the corner who's going to tip the suspect off when the lookout sees the cops rolling up)

Which isn't me justifying the Breonna Taylor raid, which by all accounts appears to have been an end-to-end clusterfuck, compounded with actual lying before and after the raid and a criminally negligent lack of weapons discipline by the officers involved.

That should have never been signed off on.

But there are scenarios where law enforcement are serving warrants on violent people, who if tipped off ahead of time increase the risk to the officers, the suspect, and the community around them.

As with many application-of-force vs freedom scenarios, it's a fuzzy justification line, but there's a line somewhere.
Great project. But it makes me think that just dumping some tank traps down there (Three steel bars welded normal to each other) would work well to snag and tear nets and, if they don't encounter a net, support some sea life.
How do you market your apps, and how much time and money do you spend marketing and advertising them?

If conventional wisdom is to be believed, it seems like the difference between building an okay app and a great app doesn't matter that much, because success depends on investing the vast majority of the effort into marketing. That's a big deterrent for me — I'm much more interested in building awesome things than hawking them.
Ah! I really don't get the idea of a distributed immutable append-only log which is reproduced on all clients and whose integrity is cryptographically guaranteed by recomputing hashes on each append.

Nor do I understand anything at all about systems of power, accountability, the political intuitions of the state and the economy. I've no idea how central banks regulate the supply of money; i'm totally at a loss as to how trust in the ability for people to keep their promises is the guarantor of the value of money. I'm bamboozled by financial risk, and have no idea how productive economic systems create value by taking bets on economically productive activity.

Rather, I'm a rube. I've been told that when you plug computers together and copy-paste cryptographic ledgers then we can get rid of The Fed. So that's what I choose to believe.
Jennifer Government has a hilarious example of what can happen if someone were to try to “fix” this problem.

That is interesting.

To me I think the neat thing about Bitcoin is that the decentralization and lack of intrinsic value are exactly what make it (mostly) purely market driven.

It's a bit interesting how the first amendment can actually cause security problems in the US.

It seems to test the limit of "absolute free speech".

I'm not against free speech, but there are people arguing that the first amendment is part of the American culture and identity, but in this particular case, it doesn't seem to work very well.

So there is a fine line between "the market of ideas favors virtuous ideas" and "the value of ideas also depends on the ability of state actors to have influence on the market of ideas".

I understand you are used to it, but it's really bad optics from the outside. How can there be people in their 30s without a citizenship? Estonian is a Finno-Ugric language which means it's extremely difficult to learn due to a completely alien structure of the language (compared to almost all European languages). Even Finland allows both Finnish and Swedish as official languages and doesn't discriminate Finnish Swedes that they don't speak Finnish. So you have some sort of "Eastern-European" flavor of democracy that allows a portion of population be marginalized based on their language.

I find it hard to reconcile framing TikTok as a national security issue when it's by far the least politicized app in the social media space, probably due to the short form video medium and moderation and the focus on entertainment.

Also somewhat funny given that Twitter, the most influential social/poliitcal platform is now owned by a guy who praises China directly and is being favorably quoted on Russian state television, with the Saudis becoming the second largest investor. I'd be slightly more concerned about that one.

People who bought and sold stocks also never understood there was something of value beneath it and just look for "is it going to go up?" and "why is it down?"
It seems crazy to me that something as trivial as allocating heap space needs rust nightly and unsafe. And people want to rewrite the world in Rust.

Extensive flooding in multiple countries that didn't have such extremes before; sea level rising around smaller island nations (ok, maybe this one isn't so obvious yet but many nations are vocally concerned); wildfires across unprecedented range in time and area in multiple countries. In my own country (UK), we've had a noticeable shift over the past 10 years from four defined seasons to a smear of weather conditions across the traditional boundaries (particularly spring and autumn), significantly higher peak temperatures and the lows moving later through the year, shifted rain patterns (and worsening flooding).

That makes you an asshole.

> Three, it is in NO WAY common for deficiencies to be tested for mood disorders and even less common for a doctor nevermind a psychiatrist to do anything about it.

Why do you believe this? It is easy and cheap to do a blood test for deficiencies, I have done that many time and they found I lacked nothing. Do you have any evidence it isn't common to check for deficiencies, because to me it seems like that is one of the first thing they check.
Experienced the system myself (Physics PhD -> postdoc -> PI at a National Lab -> Data Science). Some factors probably contributing to the situation are:

1. ECONOMY: Bleak economic outlook for research and necessity to find job, often manifested as looks of pity toward "researchers and postdocs" during family gatherings (you know you've experienced them ;) )

2. VISIBILITY: Optimizing for visibility favors performative science (i.e. announcing minuscule results on Linkedin/Twitter) over deep pursuit of scientific truths

3. ROI DIFFERENTIAL: Even marginal familiarity with coding, math, or stats (baseline for science PhDs) translates to decent earning potential in industry

4. PUSH FOR MONETIZATION: Young faculty and students in deep tech thinking more about "whats minimum I need to monetize my research" over issues of validation, reproducibility, etc (these can come post funding)

These and other factors lead to folks basically kicking the can down the road, a.k.a. the "Future Directions" section in papers.

My larger concern is whether it is time efficient. Rust seems quite low level.

It's no coincidence that web is full of bloated frameworks - because the emphasis is on cranking out yet another generic page not optimising things to within an inch of its life.

Would we be bewildered by how smart he supposedly is? He can do math, he's supposed to be socially sophisticated given his upbringing and career.

We wonder how a college graduate could be surprised at having accumulated $100k in education debt, as it's very simple arithmetic and doesn't occur in an eyeblink. But for them the money is incidental to their goal of education and probably career. For SBF, the currency (fiat, crypto) is the goal itself. It really doesn't compute. We see some people also pursue their path in a Wile E Coyote fashion, we see these days that they don't fall if they don't look down. (Boris Johnson finally looked down. Other countries' former leaders may not have looked down ever.) I wouldn't rule this out. Though he could be utterly clueless, once again hard to square with his education and socialization.

For a long time that "spam filtering" has been something like those blue bubbles in iMessage.

Multiple GRUB2 vulnerabilities – 2022/11/15
Oh no, I agree that it's a natsec issue. I'm just saying it's sad that this is the point at which people start to pay attention. People should know better than to interact with it as much as they do anyway. Also, if it wasn't such a glorious attention-robbing mechanism, then the amount of information captured wouldn't be as big of an issue.

The attention aspect is what will eventually cause the most harm. Attention feeds databases. The future of AGI is dependent on its utility to make decisions for us. The primary users of AGI as a personal decision maker will be those who are feeding the most information to these systems.

Discord's X button is implemented inside the webview and simply hides the window (to be revealed later by clicking the tray icon). It does not send WM_CLOSE or WM_DESTROY.

Alt+F4 is what actually closes the window, and in Discord's case, the entire rest of the app too.

One aspect that comes into play is shelf life / freshness of the apple. I normally find Golden Delicious apples to be completely devoid of taste. But they keep a long time so chances are the ones I come across are months old.

I was at an apple orchard a few years ago and encountered an awesome apple, enquired as to what was planted on that row and it was Golden Delicious. I triple-checked because it was a completely different taste than I expected.

It would seem that taste doesn't keep once the apple is picked and it becomes bland over time.
That was an amazing talk, thoughtfully presented. Thanks for anything you helped with on it!
Sam used the EA card and his generous donations to places like MIT's Media Lab in the same way Epstein did. This not only earned him tons of goodwill from the scientific community, but it also allowed him to rub shoulders with the likes of Tony Blair and Clinton. Who wouldn't want to invest in someone who is helping to make the world better and has all these aforementioned personalities and institutions helping to provide an air of legitimacy to his pursuits?
(Also, the guy who coined the term EA sat on the board of his FTX fund and was helping to facilitate deals with people like Elon Musk)

Same. I don’t like the app/service and think it’s detrimental to health. But even potentially worse would be the precedent of banning something like this.

I believe the gov should better govern advertising and algorithms than outright banning something completely.

You can definitely do that, the real issue is tracking changes you made to the webpages to alter them later, like adding a new form section. Also the DOM API is not the most consistent. But if you're well-disciplined in coding, it can be done, but make sure you have designed your implementation because the language itself is very permissive. Very much not necessary, but you can use a library for a more consistent DOM manipulation, like jQuery or UmbrellaJS [1].

You'll need some kind of backend, and you can either make your web app server rendered, which means embedding your frontend inside the backend, mostly by using the backend template language. Or split the two and communicate via XHR/AJAX.

If your forms are static, something like Netlify Forms and Netlify Identity can take care of both submissions and authorizations.

> doing good, but imperfectly is not immoral

It is not this that is immoral. What is immoral is that a guy that has nothing to offer except extracting resources from the effort of others coactively decides where the money goes without you being involved in the process and paying no penalty for the bad decisions. This is not a good system. It is the worst possible system. It is much better to dive in your own money, literally and say "what am I doing with all this?" -> going to open a factory in the 3rd world and hire people. Because in this case there is mutual cooperation, something strong, solid, that will not break easily: people improve their lives, both sides benefit. This kind of state charity in a loop of we always need more for the poor is a failure, many times it does not solve the problem, and it creates an incentive to have poor people, needless to say some policies that perpetuate people receiving them there.

I always say that a social help is not a success, it is the reflect of a failure. The fewer we need, the better we are doing. But for that you need individuals with a minimal level of self-reliance and ambition.

Engineers instinctively want to solve problems. You can't solve this problem. They're going to feel awful for a while.

"Hey, you'll find another job!" or "Hey, in 6 months you'll be over it!" or mentioning Kubler-Ross are the wrong "solutions." And definitely anything about you is the wrong solution.

"I'm really sorry" sounds like boilerplate, but that's a good opening. And also a good closing.
