No they don't. They promote Lightning Network as some sort of savior of all things, but it's the complete opposite of simplicity and soundness.
Betteridge's Law of headlines suggests: No.

So no, it is not the end of crypto, no matter how many scams, rug-pulls, bans, etc, etc.

Sorry to burst the bubble and to give the answer you didn't want to hear, especially for those who have been begging for its end after 14+ years for it to all be banned and to be 100% totally shutdown.

Johnagolds are one of my all time favorites, but relegated to the site's dustbin.
The parent article does not say anything about flying drones "over restricted airspace".

On the contrary, it says "videos taken from drones flown over places around Area 51".

This looks like flying in public airspace, even if close to the limit of the restricted airspace.

It is the wanted behaviour, of course, but I don't find it weird that having a message explaining it the first time you close the window should be mandatory.
My point wasn’t that an individual phone will do make much of a difference, it’s that a saving made by Apple and pushed out to phones has a multiplier that approaches a billion.
Bitcoin survived MtGox. I'm sure crypto will survive to tulip another day.
As long as tech companies remain fantastically profitable the culture will not change.

I see this as just a sour grapes piece from a journalist who has to cover tech from outside the bubble.
US federal funds rate hit 19.39 percent in April 1980. As a result long-term state bond did very well for their owners as inflation came down. My mom told stories about "Massachusetts Nines" with legendary 9% yields.

Utilities and co-ops issued ~15% paper which also did extremely well for those who purchased it in the early 80s.
Domestic law enforcement is left to the FBI. Posse comitatus makes the military doing it illegal without some serious political situation - think Congress allowing it or a governor requesting the National Guard. I'd imagine the situation is either "the USAF was involved in tracking down a crime was committed on an Air Force Base" or, more likely, the real headline is "the FBI, with Air Force personnel in attendance as advisors, kicked in the door"
I guess the first thing would be to try and contact them. They've anonymised their WHOIS info but it looks like there's a unique email associated with the domain: 53fdcf64883c49cb959ebaab98cea57e.protect@withheldforprivacy.com

Try emailing them and asking WTF they're doing?
Steve, how dumb do you think management is? Why would a company spend >=$1B+ in OpEx and CapEx just because somebody convinced them instead of seeing any technical value whatsoever?
Maybe the answer is as simple as you have to be looking for it. How many naysayers or watchdogs understand it enough to know where to look? All I know is it would be very sad if all of crypto vanishes because of a relatively miniscule number of bandits.
How much faster is this stack than the equivalent node/express setup?
Quite a shallow perspective: we'd have to critically think and discern, analyze the various narratives of each article, to see what narratives/talking points are being pushed by different sources, and which are being avoided being spoken of.

Your response is akin to only citing studies funded by arguably bad actors with monetary ties to the pharmaceutical industry and the status quo establishment (captured by big pharma lobbying), while simply avoiding and immediately/automatically dismissing the 93 Ivermectin studies that in total show an average 83% rate of prophylaxis; as a preventative-proactive medication, if the protocol is providing an adequate dose, early enough, and for long enough - those 3 variables of which in all studies showing no efficacy for Ivermectin against COVID aren't using the best practices determined by frontline doctors who experimented to determine the correct, minimum protocol(s).

In fact "highly reported on" is a necessary tactic in order to try to capture and flood the search engines with articles, using the same keywords, in order to add noise and make it difficult for people to find contradicting narratives to the ones the establishment who's captured these systems wants you to see.
This looks pretty cool actually. How do you go from having a map of a game to the entire 3D model? Are they publicly available?
https://archive.ph/Dzojr this is what it currently shows to me
Healthcare demand seems to be boosted by the profit motive. The healthcare industry has an incentive to increase healthcare usage - by oversubscribing unneeded drugs and procedures and through constant daytime adverts about "talk to your GP about thing which has a list of side effects longer than the commercial break"
"Keep dancing, otherwise you'll let everyone down" is not an exactly an encouragement.
Focus on documentation (and readability, and comments, etc.) would definitely be nice.

As for "history of computing", I don't know, is it really that helpful to know that all the algorithms were invented by really smart people a few decades ago and then reinvented again and again in modern frameworks? I just assume that whatever I learn this year is going to obsolete by next year lol (web dev, sigh).

On the other hand, a "how to decide if you should reinvent the wheel" course would be super helpful.
Yeah, declare anywhere avoids a lot of uninitialized variable bugs.

It's really hard to separate FTX's success from alameda. One theory now is that Alameda had recently been losing money hand over fist providing liquidity to FTX. Would FTX have anywhere near the volume without easy Alameda liquidity allowing traders to make tons of money?
People are easily taken in by even the most obvious disinformation. I can't imagine deepfakes making it any worse.

I used to joke about a "hammer virus". It consists of an email that says, "Forward this email to all of your friends, then smash your computer with a hammer". That's it. I still think it would be pretty damn effective.

It's more like we have discovered that our estimation that $20 of wealth existed was incorrect, and only $10 existed. Someone speculated incorrectly.

It's like a gold mine being revealed as barren. Whether you say wealth was destroyed or wasn't there to begin with is... distinction without a difference.
On sincerity there's no harm in taking what he says at face value. Despite his intelligence I don't think someone as gaffe prone as Elon would be capable of fooling everyone.

Piper's journalistic duty was to disclose her ties to EA much more fully in that piece, or recuse herself from writing it. I'm curious about the ties that she and other prominent Bay Area EAs have to SBF as well. Everyone is in a rush to distance themselves from they guy who bankrolled them.

Lack of visible, searchable structure and the requirement of audio (in those that don't have transcripts, which is a lot of them) to get the information.
My impression is Coinbase is the thing that FTX was claiming to be, a well run exchange. Looking back, them purchasing the naming rights to Miami's stadium and all the A list celebrities prompting it just added this fake layer of trust.

It's very easy to see the celebrity endorsements, puff pieces and the companies name plastered over a stadium as endorsements of how solid the business is, after all, a bunch of kids living in the Bahama's couldn't just buy all this right?...right?

While FTX tried to gain respectability through all that, seems that Coinbase is taking the tack of just focus on the fundamentals of the business and build trust that way (you know the old school way).
The chief result being reported here is in the mouse model, it's not 100-some people filling out a questionnaire that got them on the cover of the journal.
I agree with your assessment.
I am not US American though. I live in America (Canada specifically) but I was born and raised in Europe. I'm afraid the cynicism in my original comment requires this context to be received.

In my opinion it seems to reflect an expectation in culture in general. Most movies filmed in Canada do not actually depict Canada. I lived in Toronto for a while where there are almost as many NYPD cruisers as there are TPS cruisers and as many Yellow Cabs as there are Beck Taxis. International YouTubers translating things into Imperial Units and US Dollars in videos is another often seen accommodation to this.
That looks right. If/else is overloaded as doing the normal thing with bools by default, and if you try to capture something exceptional with `else |y|` then the type of `x` is inferred to be something capable of such a capture -- optionals or error unions.

No. GDPR isn't tied to citizenship. EU citizens & residents are not covered by GDPR when they are outside of EU unless member state's law applies by virtue of public international law (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-3-gdpr/).

A bit more unclear situation is if non-resident is visiting EU and uses services from their home country.

"People are part of terroir"

The most common type of machine automation in the wine industry is the use of optical sorters - no longer do you need rows of people separating good grapes from raisains and debris. The machine scans what's going through the shoot and uses multiple prongs to flick anything unwanted into a separate container. The sorters are even transportable to different wineries and vineyards.

The issue is that wine is not an engineering product, people don't want it all to taste the same. These machines do have calibration but in my experience we're getting too close to wine as a generic product. That is my fear with something like this - we know more than ever about grapes and when to harvest, we lose what makes a wine unique.

So while I praise this product and the exciting world of agricultural technology - just not sure it's the right direction for wine.

What I meant is that a Dubai visa is not necessary to execute this scheme. In general, if you spend less than 180 days in a country, you are not taxed in that country (irregardless of whether you have a Dubai visa or not). Country of citizenship is mostly irrelevant for tax purposes, unless you are American. There's not usually a law that requires citizens to be paying taxes somewhere (else, I could see how the Dubai Golden visa could help).
Also usually it’s in Java in an internal framework based off Springboot and I’m a front-end developer with no experience writing backend services.

Totally normal. Not crazy at all. Take ownership.
ATM I use Todoist, but I'm wildly unhappy in using it. The only reason I do is that since it's a web-based UI, I can use it from my Windows box. Most of the halfway good GTD tools are Mac-only.

Ah I see, that does make sense. I would offer that they already are very professional and effective at their purpose, it's just that their actual purpose is very different from their stated purpose.

Paying them more won't bring them more in line with what we wish the police did though. They will just continue to terrorize the vulnerable and protect capital because that is their actual role.

Fees were like $3k last time I checked, likely higher when using some external agency. Still peanuts compared to savings from 0% taxes (assuming high income in EU).
$585 million from search partnerships, $57 million mostly from advertisement and only $4 million from security products. That funding seems really misaligned with looking out for their user's privac. It's commendable that they still do it... but they are in a position where it could change very quickly and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
How would a world-wide WMD ban even happen? The last remaining country with WMDs could just ramp up their WMD production to Cold War levels and then hold the rest of the world hostage. North Korea is proof that sanctions can't stop nuclear problems.

The only plausible route I imagine is if the non-WMD states put massive resources into countermeasures (e.g. missile interceptors or thwarting nuclear terrorism).

As an SWE I know that my brain works on problems 24/7, and not only 9 to 5 Mon-Fri. Lots of times when I stuck with some debugging or corner case or architecture problem - I just put it away and next morning the answer is just there in my head, ready to be typed down.

As an engineering manager I can regulary see the same in my reports. Moreover, best ones are doing it on the vacation: coming back they just start typing and don't stop for 2-3 days. Normally typing/thinking cycle is at most 50/50, usually 40/60.

There's one exclusion. All said things are not working if an engineer is working for two employers. When COVID mandatory WFH started, I initially thought that some of my direct or indirect reports just can't adapt to it, but it always turned out to be a second job or a personal project.

I am 100% sure that 4 day workweek will lead to a lot of people in IT taking second jobs/side gigs, and it will severely impact their performance.

Half of revenue goes to the 30 guys who own the legal entities, and half goes to the 450 guys who actually play the sport. I don't think the salaries are the operative problem, although yes, if revenue were to decrease, those would have to decrease too.

1) Right now the back button saves the Ploc. You're completely right that the comment button looks like it might do that. We did not consider that this when we moved the comment button there...

I had not tested the demo extensively yet so this obvious bug slipped through unfortunately. It should work in the actual application / app in case you want to try it.

It's documents that are classified, not information. If information could be classified, then you'd need a public register of classified topics, so that researchers would know what to avoid researching.

I use Todoist heavily, but I wish it was more focused on long-term goals. E.g., it doesn't support visualizations or a task having multiple dependencies. These are nice features of Plocs - I wish you success with this!
Except that's not what happens. Authors, movie prop designers and game developers have all been asked a lot of questions when their stuff rings a little too true. They don't get in trouble (although the FBI asking questions is some amount of trouble). But the FBI is trying to find who leaked stuff to them, and if they just had good imaginations and/or the government published too much stuff, it's not their fault.
This is just such an awful betrayal of their mission. The Economist should know better, and everyone I have spoken to which is senior in their readership does know better. This is still a pro-crypto-scam article.

They repeat the same scam-artist lies, crypto is somehow an innovation in "trust", somehow more "efficient" than existing infrastructure, somehow "smart contracts" are more reliable than actual contracts. Things "become possible".

How can an article like this, at the moment the Emporer's clothes start to fall off, be written? By the economist.

It is just as-if homeopathy falls away and The Lancest is still interested in "innovations in water science"! This is, in my view, genuinely unconscionable.

The problems blockchains solves are highly academic csci issues around "trust" and "programming" in absurdly distributed systems. They have nothing to do with trust, risk, contracts, ownership or rights in anything like an economic, political or moral sense.

Repeating these lies now is such an awful betrayal of their obligations to their readers. They should be the ones informing the public on the actual economic meaning of these terms, and not participating in trying to keep the flame of these pyramid schemes alive.

EDIT: since the article is paywalled, consider the following quote:

> Amid the wreckage of the past week, it is worth remembering the technology’s underlying potential. Conventional banking requires a vast infrastructure to maintain trust between strangers. This is expensive and is often captured by insiders who take a cut. Public blockchains, by contrast, are built on a network of computers, making their transactions transparent and, in theory, trustworthy. Interoperable, open-source functions can be built on top of them, including self-executing smart contracts that are guaranteed to function as written. A system of tokens, and rules governing them, can collectively offer a clever way to incentivise open-source contributors. And arrangements that would be expensive or impractical to enforce in the real world become possible—allowing artists to retain a stake in the profits from the resale of their digital works, for instance.

For this to appear in a serious article on crypto outside of the scamming community is outrageous. The economist here is repeating a fraud.
The mainstream response to this debacle is a bit incomprehensible.

FTX was the antithesis of cryptocurrency; it was a centralised exchange, that was also trying to become a bank, and was AFAICT trying to kill DeFi [0].

The failure/success of FTX has no relation to the soundness of cryptocurrency.
I do however hope that this crash means fewer people will speculate on the prices such that it can finally stabilise a bit (and be useful without using stablecoins).

Twitter plans to give stock options to everyone just like Tesla does. That includes factory workers with hourly wages at Tesla. Many workers have earned more from their options than all their paychecks combined.

Where are you getting “double hours”? Is everyone exaggerating “long hours” into “double hours” in order to justify irrational outrage here?

You also keep saying this is mandatory. Yet this article is about how employees have been given the option to accept a generous severance package instead. Any mention of Elon and otherwise critical thinkers seem to cease all critical thinking.
The company may not have recorded any profit, but the founders and other equity holders can leverage or sell that equity worth $15B.

I'd describe it as last desperate grasp for money for a company that screwed up its business hard in the last decade-and-some... the remaining value in Nokia is mostly the patents they got along the way, so obviously they're now trying to extract maximum value out of the patents. There's not much else left!
Ignoring whether buying BTC right now is a good idea or not, I have a fundamental problem with state governments using taxpayer dollars to gamble on crypto. If El Salvador wants to encourage BTC investment, they should provide some sort of tax incentive to citizens who choose to do so. Going into the "invest other people's money" business is not something governments should be doing.
Fair enough. I guess “a generation ago” no longer means about 50 calendar years, it means a major paradigm shift, even if that was 6 months ago.
