I wish there was a programming equivalent as simple and visual as Excel, to prototype real apps with.

There are several 'no-code' tools that use a Google Sheet as a starting point (Glide Apps), but ultimately the code runs on their databases, and you end up not knowing what the actual business logic would look like in Javascript.

Even tools like Wappler, that offer a visual layer to build functions, and lets you export and deploy the code yourself, will use their own helper functions to abstract the complexity away from users.
Ask HN: Is it a good idea to Use cloud providers as a UAT env?
Hi Everyone,

I'm a pentester and I just want to understand. If my client wants to give me a UAT environment. Is it a good idea to use digital ocean?
If not, then what is the best way to deploy application for Web application Pentest. Like (UAT cloud or something).

Thanks in advance. :)

You don't know what you're talking about.

- What is "range 72"? I know of a Range 75 and 76. I haven't heard of a Range 72.

- The F-117 and HAVE BLUE aircraft, while similar looking, are substantially different in both design and size. And HAVE BLUE doesn't exist anymore. Both crashed.

- Red Flag is an USAF exercise. You probably meant the Red Hats squadron.

- SDI/Star Wars, as civilians know it, is dead and was never really a thing in the first place. It's a whole other ball game now. Hint: a player just landed this week.
Money not controlled by a central entity. I don't think it's more complex than that. The closer the idea gets to centralization, the more scams erupt.
Will this also help?

That's a good data point, the market is surprisingly small which could account for lack of competition. But the last annual report has the ticketing org alone at 37% EBITDA margin [1] (they call it AOI). No expert on benchmarking this # but wouldn't say they're not milking it.

"I made an absolutist statement which is definitely true."

Well, if you think so, then consider yourself the tautological winner.
I was thinking of Brandenburg v Ohio.

Regardless some guy who's schtick is "the government is up to wacky shit" is not going to have the modern ACLU banging on his door. They tend to pick cases where the government is more overtly in the wrong (basically cases where case law lags public sentiment) and where the person getting the shaft is more disadvantaged.
Rust database and migration story is really not that nice yet. SQLx is nice for pure SQL but doesn't have a good query builder story yet. Diesel is very clunky in comparison to Django ORM as soon as you get to anything beyond basic. Migrations are even less polished.

And in my experience going from Django to anything in Rust will be at least 10 times the boilerplate and some things will be very very annoying to handle, especially things like sharing parts of model, automating things like creation / update metadata for all models, and even sharing authentication mechanism for most routes can be annoying depending on the way you have to do authentication (in my case Firebase auth so authenticating sometimes does require making async calls... And that's a trouble).
It seems unrestricted capitalism and the free market eventually leads to a complete take over by monopolies. Case in point: USA.
> If I buy some cryptocurrency coin for $10 somebody received $10 from me. If now the value of the crypto goes $0, I have lost $10 but the who I gave $10 to still has that money

Here's an example of how this works:

FTX "minted" their own cryptocurrency. They minted billions of dollars of it.

When people purchased a tiny fraction of it, that established a price for one coin.

Once that happened, FTX could say "we're worth billions of dollars."

But keep in mind:

* the cryptocurrency was created out of thin air

* the value of the crypto crashed by over 90% in the past month

On top of all that, there was a "multiplier effect" when the "assets" were used as collateral on loans to counterparties.

The net effect is that the "assets" were worth billions at some point, but that value has evaporated. And loans were made on those "assets" which may have multiplied the actual impact several fold.

It's a banal comparison, but this is a lot like Beanie Babies in the 1990s. At one point the market was worth millions of dollars, and then it evaporated overnight.

That's deflationary, and if there's one thing the world needs right now, it's deflation.
I've been watching huge panics and euphorias sweep over society over and over for the past five years. It's like all the emotions are just too large. The results are surreal. It's like living in a carnival. I'm at a rodeo, and riding a steer with bipolar disorder.

He's out 20k in equipment.

How much did he make from his online presence? How much can he make from a legal settlement or GoFundMe campaign? Can he parlay these events into a bigger online presence and fame in the conspiracy sphere?

As unpleasant as the experience has been, it could prove to be beneficial to him in the longer term.
Why wasn’t FTX’s fraud detectable on the blockchain?
isn’t the whole point of crypto to have an auditable “public ledger”?

why couldn’t people detect ftx shady behavior by auditing the blockchain?
Did Binance CEO in his attempt to screw FTX, just killed all crypto?
The GPL is not waiving that right. It's attaching a condition that any improvements must also be distributed too. So that's not free as in beer.
I’d guess it’s due to the nature of the unrelenting violent opposition they face. Necessity is the mother of invention.

And to be fair (making both sides equally pissed off here), from the Palestinian perspective, the violent opposition is seen to be necessitated by the violent oppression and other injustices.

But for Israel it’s not just about their internal opposition. They are surrounded by enemies near and far interested in their violent demise. So of course they are highly motivated to develop effective weapons.
What can you do with the bits that make up your Bitcoin, other than trade them for something else?
I think we should pay cops enough that free coffee and snacks isn't necessary, but obviously that's a much smaller issue than having a two-tier justice system that gives different results for "friends of police" and "ordinary taxpayers."

When I worked at a large corporation, HR gave us a lecture about not accepting any gifts over $25 or something. I would like to live in a world where police departments function with at least a similar level of integrity.
"..because I haven't logged in for a while".

That is a misrepresentation of the ruling.

2.4 million accounts not used in the last 3 years. This isn't "a while" it is a reasonable amount of time for a company to assume that someone doesn't want you to keep their data any longer unless they still have some other relationship with you or have your consent to keep the data stored until you explicitly delete it.

The regulations are to strike a balance between the needs of the business and the needs of the individual where the individual's privacy should generally win over the desires of the business.
Are you expecting a source better than the US treasury to appear?

An unfortunate reality of the US is that policy discussion is almost wholly disconnected from quantified reality: we’re not even arguing about facts, anymore.

If we started examining facts, the populace would become aware that the US pays more for less than other “developed” nations — largely due to corruption in healthcare, construction, and manufacturing (eg, military).
We may have it easy compared to the military, but then, we didn't join the military.

Also, militaries do have to care about what the lowest ranks think. Not only to maintain recruiting in places without conscription, but also to avoid fragging in places that do have conscription:

"""Fragging is the deliberate or attempted killing by a soldier of a fellow soldier, usually a superior. U.S. military personnel coined the word during the Vietnam War, when such killings were most often attempted with a fragmentation grenade,[2]

…

The high number of fragging incidents in the latter years of the Vietnam War was symptomatic of the unpopularity of the war with the American public and the breakdown of discipline in the U.S. Armed Forces. Documented and suspected fragging incidents totalled nearly nine hundred from 1969 to 1972.[5]""" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragging

While I am confident that Musk's behaviour is merely close to average USA industrial employment norms and this is just us techies being shocked by what that looks like (for example, while there are stories about Amazon running out of people interested in working there, I've not heard that about Tesla, SpaceX, TBC, or Neuralink), this latter scenario is one of the possible failure modes I foresee with actually trying to colonise Mars with Starship, as there just isn't an easy way out if/when things go wrong 40 million miles from alternative employment/governance.
For some reason software engineers often think they can work remotely and live wherever they want. I lived in Japan for a long time and english-speaking forums about Japan are full of people asking how to move to Japan and keep a US job, or matter-of-factly stating "I have a spouse visa and get paid to my US account so I don't have pay taxes in Japan" which is of course completely wrong.

Cisco: "rebalance across the board"

Amazon: "unusual and uncertain macroeconomic environment”

Disney: “a targeted hiring freeze”

Salesforce: "performance issues”

Opendoor: "the most challenging real estate market in 40 years”
Exactly. That's the fundamental reason that FTX is just the tip of the iceberg.
AFAIK all Baltic states have a minority with limited rights, so they are far from true democracy. It's irrelevant what they think of that minority/what is their history with that minority, they simply can't claim to be fully democratic.

What not to say to someone who has just been laid off
That's not my reading of the docs, which explicitly talk about folding. Also simple tests shows that it does indeed inline the call even in debug mode.

In addition to inlining it also does also remove debug info.
It's hard to understand if this is actually related to layoffs based on larger market forces, or just a once a year house cleaning.

I've worked at places that laid people off once a year. It's a common way to give managers a way to get rid of under performing employees without the hassle of going through a PIP. The manager gets rid of a bad fit, the employee gets some severance, so both sides get something.

But since this is happening at the same time as other companies doing layoffs it can seem like it's all occuring for the same reasons.
I don't think this line of reasoning goes where you think it goes...

One could imagine that is how the investigation proceeded.
Granny Smith falls apart when baked; I prefer something that retains some toothy-ness like a Rome.
CORBA was interesting, but the authorization side really strangled it. I worked with Tivoli back in the day, which was pretty much the largest production CORBA application in existence. CORBA allowed them to be super flexible when implementing methods, but the auth was brutal. In the end they had to cache all the auth information everywhere just to get decent performance out of it.
You can find a very few. But they are limited in some way, and almost always government-funded.

iBonds hit above 8% return in a year if you bought at just the right time this year, IIRC.

Of course, if you calculate real return then you will have a sad.
Pips take months too, they're really not ideal
Dominoes indeed are falling, but the coin prices are staying largely the same. Perhaps we're at a point where most people are already down so much from last year that it makes no sense to sell, no matter what the news says
Citing from that page

> In other words, $ J_k(\beta)$ is the amplitude of the $ k$ th harmonic in the Fourier-series expansion of the periodic signal $ x_m(t)$ .

Or from the parent page about FM

> It is well known that sinusoidal frequency-modulation of a sinusoid creates sinusoidal components that are uniformly spaced in frequency by multiples of the modulation frequency, with amplitudes given by the Bessel functions of the first kind [15]. As a special case, frequency-modulation of a sinusoid by itself generates a harmonic spectrum in which the $ k$ th harmonic amplitude is proportional to $ J_k(\beta)$ , where $ k$ is the order of the Bessel function and $ \beta $ is the FM index.

In other words, Bessel functions come up in Fourier transforms of frequency modulation signals, because integrals. The calculations have been figured out centuries ago.

Regarding phase and arbitrary frequencies, it's easier to understand in the discrete time case: a vector of N complex numbers (time domain samples) goes in, it's multiplied by a matrix, and a vector of N complex numbers (Fourier coefficients) comes out.

Regardless of the input signal, such a transform can be inverted (up to rounding errors and the like) by multiplication with the inverse of the forward matrix: the difference between signals of different frequencies is that if periods are a whole fraction of N samples the projections fall on one Fourier coefficient instead of spreading around all of them. Aligning the signal's period with the window length M allows reproducing the whole infinite duration signal from a N coefficient slice because all slices are identical.
No criminal fraud prosecution happens that quickly, and the "friends" are only friends when there's millions of donations to throw around. None of the politicians SBF and his co-CEO were purchasing will be returning their calls today.
What you say is only true in a liquid and transparent market.
I don't think the drones flew over the installation. Rather, the article states, "features YouTube videos taken from drones flown over places around Area 51". (emphasis mine)

So long as the areas are either public lands, or he has permission from the owners, and follows FAA regs on drone operations, nothing wrong with it.
There is an open RFC that takes a different approach: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2884
It's fascinating the amount of repetitive comments that believe there should be some sort of time limit for a technology to succeed. It's not clear to me where this line of thinking comes from, the implication being that if something doesn't work after x years, people should just give up and go back to the old ways.
You can in fact to the right thing for the wrong reasons.

There is more nuance here though. If you start banning companies because you're a xenophobe, that sends a very different message than if you ban then because they're a puppet company for the Chinese govmn't

Yep and this ends up hurting everyone who legitimately suffers from it.

Both from people who do this, then decide the meds just get them high, so they must get everyone high—they don’t.

And from those who see this and use it as fuel attempt to discredit the condition itself.

> writes you a legal script for speed.

ADHD meds aren’t street drugs. There’s stimulant and non-stimulant options, that work for different people.

> its laughable this qualifies you for legal meth

Desoxyn is a rare treatment option, valuable to those who really need it.

Methamphetamine may be _very_ close to other amphetamines, but the methyl group unlocks access to other parts of the brain. It’s a different drug, with different effects.

I fully agree with you that this shouldn’t be happening, but the comparisons to street drugs only work in favour of operations like the one you describe in NYC.
> Are you saying that OP isn't trying hard enough to sell/present themselves?

It seemed from their wording "various parts of my portfolio it should be obvious I can deliver high-quality code and complete reasonably complex projects" that they might be assuming his positive qualities are obvious to interviewers. That's all I was trying to say.
whats funny here is the btc price action. There clearly was some insider trading before all this happened.
I'm Indian guy and I have always been super into mythology since I was a kid. I remember reading an English version of this when I was in 5th or 6th grade and it kind of traumatized me with some of the tragic aspects of the story, but overall it was awesome. It also got me into Ensiferum and various metal bands lol.

Huge fan of Indian, Egyptian, Nordic, and N. & S. American mythology.
If the Geneva convention wasn't a blanket ban on chemical weapons, tear gas wouldn't likely be covered by it.

Guessing at intent, because obviously I wasn't involved in writing it, It was written to be as blanket as possible to avoid future uses of mustard gas or anything remotely like it, and to avoid quibbles of "Well it's not Exactly mustard gas which is the only thing explicitly banned".

Not saying that using tear gas on civilians is awesome and we should tolerate it, but tear gas isn't really at that level.

Now I'm actually wondering if pepper spray would be considered a war crime too
I was a Path Finder user until I found ForkLift. It has dual pane support, easy drag/drop, easy connections to remote servers, etc. Feels better/faster/easier to use than Path Finder (IMO) plus it is less expensive - $19.95 for ForkLift vs $29.95 for Path Finder.
They did something similar with the Opus audio codec:

I've still got everything on just Coinbase, which I assume (?!) is reliable enough to not be at risk.

What's the "upsell" for using a wallet? The "not your keys" argument logically makes sense to me but it doesn't seem worth it from a convenience stand-point.
I would say that bitcoin has extrinsic value. The value it has is because people agree it has value. Imagine I started a blockchain using the exact same code as bitcoin and called it Bitcoin9890812894. It would have the same functionality as bitcoin but a value of $0 since virtually no one else would agree that it has any value.

On the opposite end, a can of Cambell's soup has intrinsic value, because it's worth something to someone regardless of what anyone else thinks. The can of soup that Andy Warhol as the basic for his famous paintings has a mixture of both types of value (surely someone will pay significantly more for that can over any other identical can).
Nothing dumb about what you said, that's a valid argument. A bug, either unintended or intended as a hidden "feature" for the scammer. Is one possible way to execute a rug-pull on DeFi or, in general, result in losses for its users.

But IMHO this is still a better approach. Serious contracts go through multiple audits, deploye hefty bug bounties and if you are very risk averse you can avoid a new deployed contract for certain amount of time until it's not only audited but battle-tested. As a user perhaps you don't know and shouldn't care about the specificities of the contract or its security but you can rely on the thousands of other eyeballs that do.

For instance, a few audits of Uniswap:

It's impossible to have a free market in healthcare because there is a gigantic information asymmetry between patients and providers. The government has responded to that with regulations, making the market even less free. So I agree, the invisible hand doesn't work in healthcare, but the government has also made things worse.
Hopefully it is just a matter of them still trying to figure out the depth and nature of the crimes.
If you have obscene hospital bills, just don't pay them. Worst case scenario, you will get sued and have a lien put on your house.This still doesn't obligate you to pay. You can just let inflation eat away at the bill for years on end.

People need to hit these profiteering practices right in the wallet.

I'll take bad credit over actual bankruptcy any day.
And yet everyone is complaining about FTX and crypto on HN and how such a scam that is. But this all OK huh?

You can say "Alexa, stop by the way" and it will disable it for a time, but it will come back. If you really want to disable it for good, you can set up a routine to effectively issue this "snooze" on by the way at some interval.
Follow the links through the other article gives this:

> Bankman-Fried and FTX “management practices included the use of an unsecured group email account as the root user to access confidential private keys and critically sensitive data for the FTX Group companies around the world, the absence of daily reconciliation of positions on the blockchain, the use of software to conceal the misuse of customer funds.”

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/17/ftx-ceo-shreds-bankman-fried...

Everything up to that last part could be chalked up to idiot savants doing their thing. But as the saying goes, the cover up is the crime.
the "invisible hand" can't work because there is no price list available to consumers. That's the craziest thing to me, you can't get a price list for a procedure ahead of time and compare with competitors to get a better deal. There's no way for price discovery to work without an informed consumer.
Thanks for this, it is really very funny.
