The difference is that in all of those cases the money has been earned as the cost of work done. The non-profit's employee is spending the money they earned for work done. This is different from the non-profit itself making the donation because that wouldn't be part of the operating cost of the non-profit itself.
I'm a Paramedic in Northern California and am VERY happy about this feature. Even in some of our SF Bay Area counties, we have a lot of windy mountain roads with no cell service at all. Our portable radios don't even work up in the hills. To have an iPhone be able to send GPS location to the public safety access point is fabulous. Our dispatchers can at least drop a pin on a map and we can route to that location ourselves. This already happens in a lot of cases but the caller has cell service. We've been on multiple incidents up in the hills where people have reported that they had to drive several miles down the mountain before they were able to get any reception to make a 911 call.

This will save us a lot of time, and it will save lives. This is a game changing feature.
Even more so now that they've migrated to proof of stake.

Unlike proof of work bitcoin, the control authority of the entity that is the Ethereum network is now entirely in the hands of the top stake owners, just like control authority of a company is entirely in the hands of top shareholders.
Show HN: Natto.dev – live spatial JavaScript environment
Hi HN, I've been working on natto.dev for almost two years and it's ready for you to use!

natto combines ideas from spreadsheets, design tools, and REPLs to create a live JavaScript environment. You can import NPM libraries, create and render React components, and more in a multiplayer (or local account-less) environment. If you login and create a synced canvas, you can invite other users to collaborate with multiple cursors, etc.

My favorite feature is opt-dragging (alt-drag on windows) to duplicate panes, making it really easy to try new ideas. You can accomplish something similar with git branch but it's not as easy and you don't have multiple versions running side-by-side.

Check out the gallery for example use cases https://natto.dev/gallery. Make personal dashboards. Play with NPM packages and interact with HTTP/APIs. Do some prompt engineering. It's a great place for the upcoming Advent of Code if you use JS! I did all of AoC 2021 in natto.

I hope natto can become a part of your toolkit!
> “Woke” has become a nebulous word used to define whatever bogeyman the author feels threatens their way of life.

I don't think that is accurate. "Woke" still retains its original meaning of "aware of racial discrimination," and its subsequent generalized meaning of "aware of social inequalities." What happened was very similar to what happened with the word "liberal," which also retains its original meaning, namely, "tolerant," in that those threatened by equality or inexplicably opposed to awareness of inequality inscrutably use it as a pejorative. This doesn't make a lot of sense because "woke" used pejoratively strongly signals, "I am a racist and/or sexist and/or opposed to equality and/or opposed to awareness of inequality."
Eh, it’s pretty hard to make a case that you don’t want stacked diff sometimes.

Obviously life is simpler if all your work is sufficiently non-intersecting that you can send separate diffs/PRs and e.g. rebase them separately, but if you have Big Feature X and you still want small, single thesis diffs, where else do you turn?
This is a weird, bad take, that keeps popping up on every FTX-related story.

I don't get it. What do you think this story says? I read it and it just can't be characterized the way you are saying.
Since many services now split into two tiers with a cheaper option for no ads, maybe ads showing up in no-ads tier won't happen. There really wasn't the possibility to do that before streaming (multiple cable channels I guess could have been done). I pay for ad free YouTube, HBO, and Netflix (although often cancel for awhile when nothing on the service interests me). Ads for other shows on the service at the beginning of shows/movies that I can fast forward through is the most ads I will tolerate.
Oh i bet that beast hiding in the kremlin would love for things to escalate. But boy is the russian army and their equipment a joke.
Because spending tens of thousands of dollars in home infrastructure to avoid fiddling with the thermostat four times a year definitely makes sense.
You can store your data either remotely or locally (see here on how https://docs.activeloop.ai/getting-started/creating-datasets...).

You can then visualize your datasets if their stored on our cloud, in AWS/GCP, or you can drag and drop your local dataset in Deep Lake format into our UI (https://docs.activeloop.ai/dataset-visualization)

We do, with version control, Python based dataloader and dataset format being open source! Please check out https://github.com/activeloopai/deeplake.
Horses are much more expensive to own than cars. You can't just leave them sitting in a lot for 20 out of 24 hours a day, they only feed themselves if you're living out in the middle of the prairie, and you can't just replace a broken leg.

If horses are more "pro-social" than cars, it's because the only people who could afford them are the very wealthy and people who made their living riding horses like cowboys and taxi drivers. Cars are "worse" than horses because they're too superior, which means the middle class all own personal cars and have stopped financing public transit and pedestrian-friendly city layout that the lower classes would coincidentally benefit from.
Not US sources. It seem to comes from the Radio ZET post this points to

"Polish media reported that two people died Tuesday afternoon after a projectile struck an area where grain was drying in Przewodów, a Polish village near the border with Ukraine."

ZET seems a legitimate source, but it's still a single journalist and some twitter posts.

Part of the danger is that the excess of funds is used to create permanent costs (e.g. hiring more people than needed, running on more servers than needed, creating more management layers than needed) that then become a danger to the organisation if there are ever lean times. It's very easy to increase costs, and very difficult to reduce them safely.

This gets exacerbated when the management get all excited about their pet projects and reroute funding & resources to those instead of the main thing that the funds were supposed to be for. Mozilla is the classic example of this - the Firefox team is not a priority when the funds get low, because of the various hare-brained projects the management have come up with.
Is this the start of WW3? How will NATO respond?
it's even worse. I actively go out of my way to ensure I do not support these companies...and I petition all my friends to avoid them. I will offer them free training to get off the services. gladly would give a couple hours of my time to setup their own personal streaming services....just to see Disney cry a little...and Netflix and the rest of the moronic executive scum
>If someone is working independently on a project with 10 minutes here, 15 minutes there, 5 minutes a few hours later and billing each as an hour, that's not okay.

Yeah I certainly wasn't advocating that. It's a two way street. Clients tend to understand they're paying for availability as much as anything and contractors understand clients want work done on time and within budget as much as possible. In my experience (having done this for almost 15 years) the best client/contractor relationships are built on respect and trust that both sides are not being taken advantage of. And I've certainly seen my fair share of contractors that try to take advantage of clients or let clients take advantage of them. Both tend to not last long as contractors.
I was curious about this as well. It seems there are bone conducting microphones, but the ones I've found so far go in your ear (so it's visible). I'm going to just hide a mic in my beard.

I put 6 hours of work into Bitcoin in 2011.

That's now a year and a half's salary.

Gutted that I didn't put my life savings into it back then, although I pretty much have now (~95% of my net worth).
Choosing (poorly) to invest with the wrong tools is still investing.
Sorry, I can't agree that there's some unspoken promise, or even a faint expectation, that that the central bank will buy its own currency back. This is simply not true.

I bet you he doesn't, both because he has had ample opportunity to do so already, because he's already losing conventionally, and because none of the endgames for escalation between two nuclear powers end well for anyone.

Occam's razor tells me that this was an accident, just like MH17 and Iran Air Flight 655 were.

Notice how neither Iran nor Malaysia 'escalated' in response to those attacks against them.
What I love about nonsense phrases like 'cultural marxism' is that they invariably have the opposite impact than was likely intended.

Calling "cultural marxism" on [checks notes] a *marketing ask* is like calling a restaurant a food bank because they both involve food.
This is a cool project. One of my pet ideas that I haven't done is to build a home assistant where all data is stored and processed by a home "server". The biggest benefit I see is that it could truly be omnipresent. There in the background, answering questions, jumping into your conversations without prompt. And it's much less creepy if all that data isn't going to someone else's computer.

Also piping in and processing the data from my mobile would be cool, but I wouldn't want to invade other people's privacy if I'm in public.

Paid news letters are the “publish or perish” of the non-academic world.
Couple thoughts:

1) PayPal does not receive fees from your eBay activities. They are two completely separate companies. PayPal makes money by charging for business services. They provide free personal services as a convenience for everyone else - but the lights are paid for by business fees.

2) If you read the TOS for personal accounts, your eBay activity would be allowed if it was personal sale of stuff (think a Craigslist analog) or between friends and family members. Once you start operating a business on eBay and are clearly receiving payments for goods and/or services in a routine fashion that appears like a business - PayPal is going to want their cut too. This is not unreasonable.

3) A personal account has no need for sweeping, which is my guess as-to why this feature doesn't exist there. Sweeping is literally only useful for businesses that accrue daily revenue into the account... and if you are receiving daily revenue, you are operating a business - see #2 above.

It seems the entire problem was a misunderstanding.
> If you rewrite half of the equation to be about real losses

There is nothing in need of rewrite. The original claim was about money, not currency. As money is defined as the assets, property, or resources owned by someone (i.e. wealth), we can substitute currency with any other asset. Let's use cars, as is convention, and works well as they tend to decline in value much like currency does.

So, you trade your car for a security. Some years go by and you decide you want a car again, track down the guy who you sold your car to, and offer to trade the security back for the car. He agrees and now you've got your car back. You didn't lose any cars. You are back to one car, just like you had originally. However, the car is scratched up a little, needs new tires, etc. and as such isn't worth as much as it was when you first traded it. And so, while you haven't lost any cars, you have lost money. The car isn't what it used to be; your wealth has declined.

You might not lose any currency in an exchange of assets, you might even gain currency in the deal, but that doesn't necessarily mean you haven't lost money.
This has to be deescalated. The risk of even accidental nuclear war is just too great.
No indication of that yet, I don't think.

I'd expect this to become a reason to send more direct aid, but not troops.
Oil Supply to Hungary via Druzhba Pipeline Is Temporarily Suspended
Whether or not certain coins are securities is a separate issue that has nothing directly to do with exchanges cheating customers and losing their money, which is what happened in the case of FTX. They traded with customer funds (and apparently massively lost) and SBF even used some of that money to bribe politicians. Look at all the political donations he's made: https://fortune.com/2022/11/10/sam-bankman-fried-ftx-joe-bid...

So here's a private company that acts like a bank and like a commodity/securities exchange, but it's completely unregulated. Or else how can they simply lose 9 billion dollars without anyone noticing for months until a run on withdrawals makes it apparent that they're insolvent. In the past there were multiple other cases of such companies "losing" user funds or "getting hacked", as they often put it. And the guy running the biggest fraud of them all, SBF is all over Washington meeting with regulators and telling them crypto needs more regulation!

It's an absurd situation. They're going after decentralized finance apps and the EU wants to regulate wallets, all of which are on chain and transparent, while people like SBF have for years been allowed to run these exchanges with no oversight whatsoever. The worst part is most people do not understand any of it and will think this comes down to cryptocurrency being shady, while the actual use of blockchains fixes exactly this problem. It's the shady off-chain deals where the money disappeared and none of the users could have known what was going on, because SBF, FTX and Alameda (which are essentially all the same entity) lied about it. Regulation of financial institutions is a joke.
Oh, sure, there's tons of annoying cases, and it'll probably never be done, but it's certainly a feature that would save lives.
Slightly off-topic/meta.

I know these submissions from more literary/arty/cultural sources don't always generate the volume (or anything like) of discussion compared to the more usual tech/science/business/etc articles, but I personally appreciate the freshness of the subject matter (and the submitter's effort) especially when - like here - it is outside of my cultural hinterland (mediaeval accounts!) but merges with it via digitisation in a way that would seem alien and magical to the original actors.

There was a breakdown recently that I can't find that showed that FTX's corporate structure was at least an order of magnitude more complex than Lehman Bro's at the time of it's collapse.

Note that for LB, like most normal companies, it has subsidiaries where it makes sense to operate under different tax laws, etc. So they have a Japanese company, and Australian company... For FTX there is no such rhyme or reason. Most of the entities outside of DE are in Antigua, Seychelles, Cayman Islands, Switzerland. I don't know enough about finance to understand if this is a red flag, but given the circumstances the intent behind such a structure is certainly suspiscious.
It absolutely is. Literally and legally.

You go from a charge of kidnapping to a charge of kidnapping of a federal official, which is way worse legally.
> Since every dollar they received in customer deposits appeared both in assets and liabilities, the only way they ended up with liabilities that their (non-Serum, non-FTT) assets did not cover, is by exchanging the dollars with something that lost value.

That's the way it ought to work in the absence of fraud or theft. But as Matt says, the reason this balance sheet is so insane is that there's no evidence this happened. Only a very small amount of customer dollars could have been used to generate Serum. FTX invented several cryptocurrencies which, at a 10x inflated valuation, obscure the fact that they completely lost $16 billion of assets.

In fact, it seems that SBF used a backdoor in his own software to secretly transfer customer funds to Alameda. There's no evidence that any sort of internal accounting actually balanced the books in the way you suggest, which is what's so insane about this whole story.
Late G.A Cohen's piece is good: http://www.ditext.com/cohen/Cohen.pdf
What do you expect them to do, send a rocket back? If the rockets hit anything of value, it would not be plausible to say that it was an accident anymore and then it's a an entirely different situation. Also it took 9 months for something like this to happen, if it happens again within a short time frame, then it's also different. For now, maybe they could retaliate with the equipment, like providing Ukraine with those fighter jets.

That explanation for why there’s a gap in your work history is good enough for me. I’d move on to a coding challenge or two and give you an offer after that.

I do interviews at the place I work at for what it’s worth.
Well, kinda, sorta, but as mighty as the RP2040 is, it still pales to the Cray-1 of '76 with its 8MiB of RAM and 160MFLOPS.

The RP2040 beats the Cray for sure in the MIPS/$ category though :)
Every re-write I’ve ever seen or been a part of, has either failed or taken way longer and a lot more effort than initially projected.

Changing something is definitely not riskier, especially if you have tests and real users who are actively providing feedback as well as showing the edge cases. You can also focus on changing only the things that need changing, instead of having to redo everything just to change some things. A re-write also delays everything, since current users will probably not get any updates nor access to new features until the re-write can provide a good alternative to the existing system.

Oh well, I guess since it’s a side project for them, the learning and fun will be more important than providing a good experience to their users.
> International transfer is a good use

I think it could make a useful underlying tool to enable this but to be used directly by end user customers it'd be a tough sell.

I've used Wise to transfer USD <-> CAD, if they use crypto to enable that (I don't think they do, but I guess they could), I couldn't really care less.

I don't think your run of the mill consumer is going to want to use crypto to do the same thing. With smaller amounts the difference in cost is probably negligible, with larger amounts you could theoretically save more to make the effort worth it, but you have higher pressure to have more "traditional" assurances that nothing goes wrong.
Not disagreeing (unauditable AI output used for decisions is a problem), but what you said equally applies to Wikipedia.
Personal Inflation Calculator
That's my whole point, I don't have a degree and it's been a long time since that came up.

In my most recent position I got an offer before the recruiter found out I didn't have a degree: We were making small talk waiting for someone to join the call and they offhandedly asked where I went to school... I didn't.

-

So with that in mind, how are they justifying their value over those cheaper (or free) options? With an expensive makerspace? Pedigree? (as you point out there are cheaper schools of a similar calibre)

To me it doesn't add up and something has to give at some point. I've long felt that if we get student loan relief, it must come with tightening the purse strings on the tuition side by downsizing how much the government is willing to finance per student.

The schools are using the money for everything from vanity projects to real-estate plays, that needs to stop.
I am by no means an expert, but this reflects my dabbling with XBRL. It seems like a giant time suck that would require too much curating to make useful.

I wish there was more focus on the “buying political influence with dark money” angle, and less on “young tech guy gets rich and destroys the economy” angle of the story.

As a group of mostly young tech guys and girls, we should be concerned about the narrative society, especially Wall Street and their media outlets, convey about us. Recall when redditors buying GME stock was being blamed for the many ills of capitalism. The whole robbinhood saga. The scapegoat is always a smart, wealthy young technologists.

SBF is more of a Soros than an Aaron Swartz. Wall Street loves to blame Silicon Valley, but it’s bs.
Relax, NATO is not made of barbarians, but Russia will pay for it in other ways than nukes and bombs. They’ll just remain in the dark ages for a bit longer. Like North Korea and Cuba. Unless of course their friends in NATO will try and weasel them back on the economic scene.

Bears living in space

Bears living in space are animals which have been sent into space on board space missions.

History

Soviet Union

The Soviet Union was the first country to put a bear into space. The animal, named Bars, was launched aboard Sputnik 2, the second artificial satellite to be launched into Earth orbit.

Bars was a Karelian bear (a small, sleek brown bear), which was selected by S. P. Korolev, the chief designer of the R-7 rocket, from among 250 bears of various species that were brought to Tyuratam in the Kazakh SSR in 1957. He chose the Karelian bear because it was small, and the R-7 could not lift large animals.

Bars was a three-year-old female bear who weighed 40 kg (88 lb). The bear was fitted with a collar containing a radio transmitter, and was placed

Just because you don't have a bearer bond doesn't mean you haven't invested in bonds. Modern finance isn't about holding an invested asset in your hands.

This splitting hairs over "true" ownership ignores the fact that the original investor analysis done by GP here premised on chain transactions is still semantically wrong.
