He made tweets at the end of September when there were huge movements of FTT from Alameda to FTX where he lied and tried to downplay them as "wallet rotation". I posted about that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33568688.

There is a paper/tweet trail a mile long that SBF was trying to cover up malfeasance that pretty clearly shows mens rea in my opinion.
FY23 means Jan-Dec 2022. In some companies the fiscal year starts Feb 1 in that case it’s Feb 1 2022 to Feb 1 2023 (It’s still called as FY23)

In any environment synchronous communication can be an interruption. My desk phone is one for instance. You essentially have 100 desk phones ringing at any given time.

Yup I see the issue.

1. Unplug from slack for 20-30 minute intervals (set a timer) and get some work done.

2. Go back to the office (minimum 2-3 days a week). Get some face to face conversation.

3. In your free time away from the "office" join a charitable organization. Church, Food Bank, Homeless Shelter, Lions, Kiwannas, etc...

4. When you relax. Go out to eat, a football or basketball game, Mall (remember those?), hiking in the woods, walk in the park, etc...

Have Fun!
> One minor clarification: "lent" should be "stole"

Not a lawyer, but I think the correct term is "embezzled".

> The crime of embezzlement is defined as the fraudulent appropriation of property of another by someone who has been entrusted with its possession. Unlike theft where the property is taken unlawfully, in embezzlement the property comes lawfully into the possession of the embezzler who then fraudulently or unlawfully appropriates it. The key aspect of embezzlement is the fiduciary relationship that exists between the embezzler and the victim of the embezzlement as embezzlement requires that the property be appropriated by a person who was entrusted with its possession. A senior executive who uses company funds to pay for his personal yacht is guilty of embezzlement even if he intended to return the funds or had the means to do so.

You have to walk in a circle three times after stating this.
Perhaps it's just a green engineer thing. I know GitHub actions, CircleCI, Drone, etc... I don't know pipelines and sometimes it feels like dark magic to me.

As far as the other tooling goes, I often find that they are very Java-oriented (which is fine considering the AWS background) and everything in Python feels janky.
A large class (but not all!) of crime requires ‘mens rea’ or a guilty mind.

If you can plausibly convince everyone, for instance, that you legitimately thought that the car you got into and drove away was your car, then you didn’t commit car theft.

Good luck with that 99.9% of the time of course.

This is in comparison to strict liability crimes, like drug possession or statutory rape that don’t require knowledge or intent.

Fraud requires that you knew you were lying (essentially), or should have known, to be fraud.

You can’t accidentally commit fraud.

Near as I can tell, SBF would have to somehow convince everyone he had been brain dead while collecting billions of dollars to pull that off here, but hey - defense attorneys have to try something I guess?
I'd never heard of the guy until now so maybe it's obvious but you do wonder in these situations, he must have realised that the questions were leading to an article but did he expect the transcript to be published verbatim?

When they start having to spend 80% of their attention on one kid, it's a problem that needs to be addressed.

I say this as the parent of a kid who is right on the verge of being kicked out of preschool over that issue. I totally get it. I wish I knew how to help him. He has some great qualities, but he also requires constant attention and mentally draining correction from everyone that's involved in his life.

FDIC insures you against the failure of the bank that holds the funds for you.

Not really related but regarding energy usage: I was fascinated when I travelled in Rathen (Germany) with a ferry that uses just the power of a stream: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_ferry

The German wikipedia entry has a small picture that shows how it works: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gierseilf%C3%A4hre

And the following technique seems to be even more convincing as the stream is never blocked from the cord: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A4hre#Rollf%C3%A4hre but probably more difficult for larger streams.

I don't see how crowdsourcing compute would be possible without giving access to all the data being crunched, which would be a complete deal-breaker for many (most?) businesses, I would imagine. So unless someone can figure that part out, it's probably a non-starter.

With disk space, you have the issue of liability—what happens when someone decides to store child pornography on my hard drive? That's a more solvable problem, but I'm certainly not envious of anyone who wants to tackle it.
I've seen Infosys-produced code that there was no way it was going to work... turns out that after I googled it, multiple lines were straight 1:1 copy pasta from multiple StackOverflow answers - just jammed together in the hope that something would work. I was shook.
Even if you intend to have a completely open project patents aren’t necessarily a bad thing.

Patents prevent others form parenting it, even if prior art exists someone can still get a patent and the legal battle to revoke it can be costly if you don’t have large corporate backing.

So getting patents and offering them under an open FRAND license is a good option, some of the most common standards we have work this way.

Ofc if the only reason you get patents is to commercialize them later it’s going to be quite hard to get people to adopt your stuff.
From September 2022:

> Italian app developer Bending Spoons has raised more than 340 million euros ($327 million) from investors including Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds and Kerry Trainor, the former CEO of video streaming platform Vimeo.

> Bending Spoons, whose apps include popular video editing tool Splice and Remini, an image editor based on artificial intelligence technology, said the money could be used for acquisitions.

> A source close to the company said former Google Executive Chairman and CEO Eric Schmidt was among the investors. Other backers included Italian banks Intesa Sanpaolo and Banco BPM.

> My first and main point is that 80% of software developers, the silent majority of so-called "bread programmers", do not grasp these concepts. So even if the concept is great, it doesn't matter.

Right… but is that not the point of these articles? To teach those programmers these concepts so they can get the benefits the GP commenter is talking about?

Your comment there seems to presuppose that they can never learn, unless I’m misunderstanding!
An urban legend from physics is that Murray Gell-Mann deliberately chose whimsical terms for his ideas, such as "quark" and "up, down, charm, strange, truth, and beauty." The rationale was to prevent any possibly application of a familiar definition or social implications of the terms, such as was applied to "relativity."
As I said, until recently.

I’m starting to think that the RPi organization is limiting supply intentionally. How are companies like MinisForum able to keep shipping minipcs with vastly more complex hardware? It just doesn’t make any sense
There's an important nuance there which is that they don't have to prove that the person knew the actions they were taking were illegal, just that they intended to take those actions. As an example:

Knowingly driving a car someone else stole is illegal, even if you don't actually know it's a crime to drive a car someone else stole (after all you didn't steal it, maybe you bought it from the person).
Driving a car that was stolen that you didn't know was stolen is not illegal.

Hey, I apologize here, my point on emotional investment was that I, personally, am not emotionally invested in it and did not mean to cast aspersions at you for your defense of the language nor at people who have preferences for it. Specifically I meant that I'm comfortable enough in my understanding of the language to classify it and it's standard library as better in the garbage bin relative to alternatives available.

It's fine that people like it. What's good about it isn't unique, and what's unique about it isn't that great. And there are certainly switching costs for some orgs to consider.
If you throw your back out by trying to jerk the frozen tarp off the ground, you'll have the perfect excuse for not clearing snow. Genius!
That looks really interesting.

And I absolutely would not want to do an exam on it.
I know it's not helpful, but from a lifetime of doing really stupid things in action sports, starting young is a lot of it. Falling like anything takes practice, and falling when your 12 is so much less painful than falling when your 35.

Anyone who grew up in the skatepark/terrain park knows the experience of learning new tricks and progression. It's thousands of falls building up the muscle memory to land the trick. Over time, it just sticks (or you hurt yourself bad enough you quit).

Cant really do this when you're old. It just takes less to cause damage, unless you're in excellent shape from doing active and dynamic movements over years of work.

Now to try and be helpful - Martial arts, wrestling and doing low weight dynamic movement exercises will help you train. Also, if you want your whole body to be sore, pick up a skateboard, strap as many pads as possible, and go learn how to ride a bowl at your local skatepark. Guaranteed you'll get lots of fall practice :)
I have watched closely on my commute every day how people use these (SF/Mountain View, etc), and I am stunned at how close to disaster some people are. They put their hands deep in their pockets with the controller, don't wear helmets, have precarious backpacks that change their balance, etc.

You are one larger-than-expected crack in the road from being thrown off the wheel under a bus. At one point I rode scooters to work, but after one such incident (fairly benign but I could see where it was headed) I swore off anything so unstable.
I think it really comes down to the fact that these single wheelers don't support the operator without power. You can stand on skateboard, slow down, and come to a complete halt and it's still working as intended. On a bike you will eventually topple from one side or the other, but the way a bikes works means the rider is supported in a natural position for a long time.

When the one-wheeler loses power it just nosedives, the front hits the ground and they halt immediately.

I wonder if they could save some of the danger by placing small, unpowered wheels in the front and back so when they dip they can at least keep moving.
This pisses me straight off. Someone needs to fork Mozilla (the company) and bring back its hayday culture.
The point of my example was to draw attention to what actually happens to the real resources, how they get used. They get wasted, which is a terrible outcome.

I believe your focus on money obscures that fact. Money is just a mechanism for a (good, efficient, fair?) way of using the resources available. Money is not real wealth.

What lifts people out of poverty is not money, it is ultimately useful stuff - food, shelter etc. produced so efficiently that people also are able to specialise and spend time on teaching, medicating, investing into producing not just the bare necessities but things that make them even more efficient and productive etc. In the yacht example, such scarce resources are squandered! The 'economy' created is quite literally destructive - it is geared towards consumption (i.e. destruction) of many resources - materials to build the yacht, countless peoples' time - for the mere entertainment of the person who then sinks the yacht.

Yes, the people that were involved in building the yacht now have bigger claims on a shrinking share of resources. They personally win; the person who enjoyed sinking the yacht wins; overall society greatly looses and is now much poorer.

So overall, society would be better off if that person just hoarded the money, buried it in their back yard, and preserved the scarce resources. That outcome is better than personal luxury consumption. Even better, of course, if they used it to get other people to do something productive that benefits wider society.
Car fires are mostly caused by old cars overheating under heavy use. This gives the owner a chance to pull over and let the car burn.

Bike fires are mostly caused by overheating while charging at night. This gives the owner the chance to die in their sleep.
> but also a job that made me feel more unhappy than any other job I’ve ever had.

I can relate. I worked for many years for one "those" companies that is a household name. The pay wasn't outstanding, and the job was not one that gave me much fulfillment, but it was at a marquee brand. My business card opened a lot of doors.

When that job finally ended (after almost 27 years), I started looking at working for other companies. I would have been a particularly good fit for startups, as I was financially secure (thus, didn't need to be paid too much), and have a huge arsenal of skills and experience, that can be quite useful to any small outfit that has "many hats" employees.

What I found, is that us older folks are quite unpopular, and got tired of slamming doors and passive-aggressive insults.

So I just decided that I was in early retirement.

Best decision I ever made.

I would have liked having the extra money, but the soul-sucking aspect would have probably killed me, by now.

I am in a good position. I have enough set aside to be OK, but not at an exorbitant level, and I get to write awesome code every single day. It's basically, my "dream job."

I feel terrible for over-leveraged young folks, having to deal with this kind of thing, early on. I feel even worse, for the ones that have "crossed over" into "old," and are still over-leveraged. They won't feel old, but they will be treated as such.

It's really humbling and infuriating.

No, it's media damage control. Gets you to think about unverifiable stuff like personal motivation instead of what his company actually did.

Short haul connector flights can be electric.
You can. Package everything you need with the environment and you’re done. Now whether future versions of whatever container you choose to run it in will support establishing the environment is a separate detail. There is no answer. You can go all the way to reserving an entire computer to run mission critical code but you don’t know if it is future proof in terms of electrical specifications.

That’s the point of civilization though. You iterate and what works out, other people copy and iterate even more.

Parent commenter, for me there wasn't much violent bullying in my school. I just used those examples because they're likely to resonate with more people. It isn't that uncommon. But my overall point applies to other things as well.

- work-life balance. we expect kids to do "homework", but we don't expect adults to do work outside of actual working hours. we call those places "toxic working environments" and avoid them if we have any sense. I actually have more time to myself as an adult than I did as a kid.

- doing things only so that they can be graded for the approval of some authority figure, rather than because they are intrinsically worthwhile or enjoyable

- a peer group artificially constrained to be only of kids within a year of your age. interacting with kids a few years older or younger is out of the norm, friendships between year groups are rare. that's not how adult life works. I have a pet theory that so much bad behavior in schools is caused by this age stratification.
I think it is also a greater level of self-confidence and trust through knowing what they are all about (and hence enjoy what they learn more).

So many kids (myself included) hit university not knowing what they should be doing (or what they've been learning actually requires at the 'next leve') because you're guided to broad and narrow learning curriculum and not following their specific interests intensely.

We see the chaotic, political, competitive and ranked corporate world as 'normal' instead of a terrible, poorly organised and dysfunctional system. It's not 'the real world,' it's a bubble that reinforces itself because we train kids to fit into it throughout their education.

Is there some way to stage individual lines? I do this all the time, and `git gui` seems to be the only tool which does this in a sensible way (right-click a line or selection to stage/unstage it). `git add --patch` is far too much manual work, and IDEA seems to only work with chunks, not individual lines.

Per my understanding, FIPS certification only guarantees the crypto implementation does what it is supposed to do and nothing else. If implementation has language-specific vulnerabilities (like buffer overflow, memory management issues), then FIPS is not designed to catch these.

Do note though that this is before the scandal had reached the APA leadership (which happened in 2013 if I remember correctly) and before any legal actions were taken against them. So there is definitely more to this story that has emerged since 2009.
> Falling from a standing position can be dangerous.

If your definition is "nothing is safe" then there's no reason to complain about 25mph in particular.

> "Safe" is a function of the environment you're in and device you're riding- traction, obstacles, intersections, speed of other traffic, visible distance (fog / clear sky / bend in the road), wind, all sorts of things.

So give an example.

Either specify conditions or assume generic conditions.

Don't say someone else's example number is wrong without giving a rough correct number.

Great. That answers my second question of two.
