You're absolutely correct. You can get anywhere you want, in whatever (nonzero) time you would like. You can reach the center of the galaxy in a millisecond, without violating relativity.

And yes, if you returned home, you'd find that tens of thousands of years had passed. (Not millions. It's not that far.)

This explanation is designed to ask you to see if from the point of view of spacetime, rather than asking what it looks like from any particular point of view. You can use the conversion factors to translate.

What those factors tell you is that if they could "see" you, they'd see you moving very, very slowly on your spaceship, because it's always moving at very near the speed of light. They'd see you aging very slowly, and arriving at the center of the galaxy (a thousand generations later) having aged barely at all. Then they'd see you coming back -- again aging very slowly -- and arriving back another thousand generations later. When you stop your ship at earth, they'd watch a clock on your ship suddenly start ticking at a normal rate.

Once again I need to poin tout the shocking truth that FTX had no CFO [1]. The CFO's experience and reputation is waht gives investors and regulators confidence that the financial statements that the CFO literally signs off on are valid.

Listed companies on the NASDAQ and NYSE have lots of requirements here (eg internal and external audits). Obviously these don't apply to FTX but the truly shocking thing here is the likes of Sequoia and other sophisticated investors did not require an adult in the room in the form of a CFO.

They literally handed billions of dollars to a 20-something with absolutely no supervision or accountability. I would not be surprised if this lack of oversight doesn't land them in court from customers and other investors. You may think they are shielded from this through limited liability and corporate structures but that doesn't innoculate them against tort claims and you could probably make the case they are recklessly negligent or even as far as being liable in conspiracy to commit fraud (before or after the fact).

SBF engaged in on-the-record messages with a reporter about this. This is how clueless this man is. He either doesn't have lawyers or he's ignoring them as any lawyer will tell you to STFU [2]. No good can come of this ans. SBF and his cohorts are facing the prospect of being on the run for the rest of their lives from US authorities or possibly even spending the rest of their lives in prison.

It's that serious.

It's not a general "we can't do this" argument, it's got specific criteria, one being company size for certain regs to apply.

But honestly YC probably doesn't even think about any of this, for good or bad. Most companies are super duper behind the ball on privacy regulations, despite the negative consequences.

You said you were not arguing for lawlessness. I'm struggling to understand how you would enforce the laws in the absence of a police force. Would citizens go around enforcing the laws themselves? I could see that easily creating a problem worse than what we have now.
I've been thinking about that a bit. It makes me wonder if the best way to terraform Mars would be to pull Ceres into orbit around Mars to "stir the pot" so to speak and help it build a thicker and richer atmosphere. Obviously this would require a lot of reaction mass and patience but I wonder if it would be possible to "reboot" a planet's core that way.

You could of course try bombarding it with a bunch of asteroids too but that seems wasteful given how rich in minerals they are.
Rosetta 2 does support 32-bit code - it’s used for running WINE.

macOS doesn’t ship a 32-bit version, because the 64-bit version on every platform is much faster and more secure, and shipping both would be twice the disk space.

(More secure because you can do so many tricks like PAC with those spare bits in every pointer.)
That's interesting! I thought China developers had npm / PyPI etc. mirrored so that they don't have to deal with the slowed worldwide versions.

UPD: that said, I agree that the Chinese Firewall is about as far as you can shut off the Internet in a modern country (at least without turning into another North Korea).

In fiction there's an idea known as 'plot armor'. In essence, it's the idea that causality and realism are suspended for some reasons related to the plot.

Your scenario here is plot armor.

Sure, if we pretend that gold stops having ANY use outside of being pretty, then when it stops being considered pretty it's value will go to 0.

But the fact is, gold has a myriad of uses besides being pretty and those uses give it an inherent value.

And when you go to sell it, others' use of it is what sets the sell value, not your personal use of it. It doesn't matter that I'm not personally using it for conductivity if the person I'm selling it to is (or someone downstream of them is).

IOW, stop posting fiction.
The important thing to signal is not that, but that’s necessary to do later.

The important thing to signal is that investments are safe, even if other investments might fall prey to the same issue. Doing just the former means that everyone is suspicious of everything they currently hold, and will be too spooked to invest even in new perfectly good ones until they get clarity on everything, causing the market to seize up.

Justice and auditing takes time, but the need to refinance bonds is pretty much constant.
I think Bitcoin has no value. But I don't think mining issue you raise is a reason why. The difficulty of mining is pegged to size of the mining pool so you don't actually need that many miners to operate the whole network.

Mining is bad for other reasons--it's a huge waste of resources when bitcoin is worth a lot of money.

My best-in-class example of document management is Xilinx (now AMD). Internally, they use an XML flow based on DITA - but the specifics aren't nearly as important as an apparent organizational commitment to delivering quality documentation. (They hire technical writers - these job postings are how I've gleaned most of the details about their documentation toolflow.)

In my small team, our solution has been:

- Commit to PDF as a documentation mechanism. Trying to co-maintain HTML and paginated outputs is too challenging.

- Maintain and track documentation in the same infrastructure as source code. For us, this means git and AsciiDoc (formerly, LaTeX). Asciidoctor to PDF via XSLT is crufty and slow but looks good enough and addresses most of our "wants" (table of contents, list of tables, list of figures, glossary, ...).

- Try to keep documents consolidated in relatively few repositories. A project-wide repository allows documents to share content (e.g. images) and encourages a coherent, consistent document tree.

- Provide a (hair-shirted, Makefile-based) mechanism to publish updated PDFs of these documents. Having a centralized publication site is critical, since it teaches people where to look and allows us to control document review/release cycles.

Purpose-built documentation management systems (e.g. Alfresco) might seem be better tailored towards documentation and might play nicer with Word, but it also keeps documentation in a ghetto and allows people to abandon it. Less is more.

Thank you for the explanation.

As I understand it, correlation is not sufficient to prove causation. "Null hypothesis" is one statistical tool, an abstraction over our understanding of the real world.

Consider the case where all of those infected with disease D die, while 99% of those infected with D and treated with T survive. Further consider that T is widely administered. Clearly, the correlation between being infected and dying is very low although with a deeper understanding we know that D in fact causes death.

> That being said, I still find it extremely unlikely that there would be legal ramifications from using a product being pushed by one of the largest software companies in the world.

Microsoft is explicitly saying it's your responsibility to check if the Copilot's output that you add to your codebase is not infringing on anyone's license.

Also, it's actually a complex legal question if Copilot itself is infringing anyone's copyright. But, there is no doubt whatsoever that you don't have the right to distribute someone else's copyrighted code (without a license) just because it was produced by Copilot and not manually copied by you. And it is also very clear that Copilot can occasionally generate larger pieces of someone else's code.

Presumably, as long as GitHub Copilot:

a) fails to respect these itself, or

b) present the user that is going to use its output verbatim or produce derivative code from it so that the user can respect these

Then GitHub Copilot is either in violation of the license or a tool assisting in such a violation by stripping the license away†.

From TFA:

> David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of Ruby on Rails, argues that the backlash against Copilot runs contrary to the whole spirit of open source. Copilot is “exactly the kind of collaborative, innovative breakthrough that I’m thrilled to see any open source code that I put into the world used to enable,” he writes. “Isn’t this partly why we share our code to begin with? To enable others to remix, reuse, and regenerate with?”

I don't mean to disrespect DHH, but the "spirit of open source" isn't to wildly share code around as if it were public domain, because it is not, an author gets to choose within which framework their code gets to be used and modified††, otherwise one would have used public domain as a non-license + WTFPL for those jurisdictions where one can't relinquish their own creation into public domain.

"Agents from the U.S. Air Force and FBI recently raided homes"

"The Air Force Office of Special Investigations and FBI entered homes owned by Joerg Arnu in Las Vegas"

"seized potential evidence for an undisclosed joint agency probe"

Note, for example, the U.S. Army isn't allowed to do things like direct vehicle traffic around a house that's being raided. Being consulted on the side about specific items to look for, etc, that's much less direct than the quotes above.
We got organic bananas because the regular bananas were all green. They were SO GOOD. Bananas are so damn cheap overall we just always get the organic ones and they do seem overall better.
Tether and Bitfinex have the same owner. They print the Tethers for free, move them to an exchange, exchange them for Bitcoin or other token, convert that to USD.

As long as it happens slowly enough and with enough steps, that's 1 USDT converted to 1 USD.

The damages are everyone with money in a USDT denominated exchange who believes that the actual USD still exists somewhere in the system. It left months / years ago, the people still playing are the ones holding the empty bag.
I'm on Andrid, I use a small file manager called MK Explorer [0]

Flow is, open the app, go to bookmarks->notes (this is a shortcut I set up), choose a folder (I have a bunch for different things), then menu button->new file, enter a title, and use the file explorer's own text editor. It's not as quick as opening Google Keep and tapping plus, but at least I know I can trust it.

As far as GDPR goes, according to Article 3 of GDPR it applies to processing if any of three conditions are met:

1. Processing that takes place in the context of processors and controllers that are in the Union, regardless of whether or not the processing itself takes place in the Union.

2. Processing the data of subjects who are in the Union by controllers or processors who are not in the Union if the processing is related to offering goods or services to such subjects in the Union or the processing is related to monitoring the behavior of such subjects that takes place in the Union.

3. Processing of personal data by a controller not established in the Union, but in a place where Member State law applies by virtue of public international law.

If none of those cover an entity, that entity's processing is not covered by GDPR.

#2 would probably be the only relevant one for HN.

Is HN offering goods or services to subjects in the Union? Sure, people in the Union can access HN and even make accounts. But that might not be enough. One of the recitals for Article 3 elaborates:

> In order to determine whether such a controller or processor is offering goods or services to data subjects who are in the Union, it should be ascertained whether it is apparent that the controller or processor envisages offering services to data subjects in one or more Member States in the Union. Whereas the mere accessibility of the controller’s, processor’s or an intermediary’s website in the Union, of an email address or of other contact details, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the controller is established, is insufficient to ascertain such intention, factors such as the use of a language or a currency generally used in one or more Member States with the possibility of ordering goods and services in that other language, or the mentioning of customers or users who are in the Union, may make it apparent that the controller envisages offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union.

Does HN envisage offering services in the Union, or is it simply a site that happens to work when accessed from the Union but was not envisaged to do so?

Another recital elaborates on the monitoring of behavior of subjects in the Union:

> In order to determine whether a processing activity can be considered to monitor the behaviour of data subjects, it should be ascertained whether natural persons are tracked on the internet including potential subsequent use of personal data processing techniques which consist of profiling a natural person, particularly in order to take decisions concerning her or him or for analysing or predicting her or his personal preferences, behaviours and attitudes.

HN seems to collect minimal data. It might not rise to the level of monitoring that would be needed to count as monitoring behaviour.

The reality is that it's almost always not 'that' significant - if it is, you eventually hear about it.

I just configured one. The 14-core i7, 16 RAM, 1TB SSD and Linux with my local power cord are priced at €1739. That's pretty nice, considering that they probably sell a very low volume compared to the big players.
Many permissive licenses (including Apache 2.0) require attribution.
I'm not convinced by this without some additional context.

China has banned a lot of things that continue to exist outside China. For example, gambling is officially banned in China. Yet we wouldn't predict the end of gambling worldwide as a result, since we don't think of gambling as being dependent on China. Is there reason to believe cryptocurrency is?

Not true on StubHub. No information on original purchaser. Also effectively not transferable as you can’t print the ticket. Must use mobile device, not optionally use.

Stubhub prices appear to be significantly lower, but I had to call them to figure out how to retrieve my tickets, the UI is so confusing. Selling was a breeze though.

Unless you have perfect memory and perfect recall, it’s very possible you’ll forget what a certain symbol meant. Specially if you read the code at a time you’re not being specially bright (say, Friday noon after an stressful week). Much harder to forget what the word “filter” means. Also much easier to recognize words than symbols where differences might be small.
Ask HN: Tips/Places to learn to touch type properly
I've never really properly learned to touch type and I'd like to. I've spent time improving and then I just regress again. I'm definitely not good at numbers and symbols which is annoying for programming!

I've tried:

1. GNU typist -> https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/gtypist/gtypist.html

2. Keybr.com

gtypist I actually found OK, keybr seemed to get stuck and never gave me new letters (possibly I was doing something incorrectly).

Questions:

1. Do you have a decent program to recommend

2. Is it better to concentrate on accuracy first and then speed?

3. How to improve fast with "coding" type training?

Thanks! [edit formatting]

Why would HN need to follow rules from EU or China? This OP must be kidding. What about following Cameroon law? What makes EU more important? What if they conflict? Pass all the laws you want to in Bolivia for PII, HN should just ignore it. No they shouldn't hand all our data to Pakistan to abide by their laws either.

Failure to ensure the security of personal data (Article 32 of the GDPR)
At the time of the online investigation, when creating an account on DISCORD, a password of six characters including letters and numbers was accepted.

The restricted committee considered that DISCORD's password management policy was not sufficiently strong and restrictive to ensure the security of users' accounts.

Kind of surprising the GDPR is so prescriptive about password requirements!
Ironically, the only reason you can so loudly make such a claim about the law is that the US military is sufficiently powerful over several generations to keep expansionist authoritarian governments at bay, even merely by supplying friends with our technology.

Maintaining the edge over expansionist authoritarian govts is essential to maintain democracy.

Maintaining that edge will necessarily involve controlling significant amounts of information.

The only horseshit I smell around here is an ignorant opinion loudly stated. But go right ahead and take some pics and publish them. Be sure to report back on the results.
I wonder how many people upset about Warp here also use VS Code and don't bother turning telemetry off.
Well, look at the power outputs of bikers. 100 watts can probably get you to 15mph in flats / no headwinds. so that.... well, 400 watt-hours for 60 miles!

Meanwhile, gaming rigs are coming with kilowatt power supplies now, maybe even more.

Laptops try to be more efficient, yeah, but 100 watt-hours in sixteen hours is 6.25 watts sustained.
