No, it is wrong to think it is a "mass" phenomena. A very small group of people around the planet are involved here.

What is happening is what happens in all long running systems where the generational selection process becomes ineffective due to (typically) nepotism, hedonism, and corruption. What was once, if arguably ethically challenged, but competent elite gives way to an openly corrupt and incompetent set. Healthy systems check this phenomena -- it happens in all power entities historically -- and correct it. When they fail to correct it, they suddenly collapse.
Julia supports most unicode characters for function and variable names (and operators), so you can write, eg, "∑(x,µ) = x ⊗ µ" and it won't complain.
We run https://FakeYou.com on Rust/Actix/sqlx, and I'm not missing the "batteries included" anymore. The type safety alone makes Python and Ruby a thing of the past for us. The tests being easy to refactor is really nice too.

Both sqlx and diesel have DB migrations. We use them. Sqlx is actually type checked too, which is awesome.

There are plenty of 3rd party auth and email packages (though we didn't use any, so I can't attest to them). It was quick enough to grow our own internal stuff, which we now reuse internally.

Rust is fantastic for working with audio or video on the server. We're starting work on rendering 3D workloads headlessly.

Another thing Rust can do that Python can't dream of - our servers have easy to manage background threads! We can launch async processes or have long-running background processes (infinite loops with periodic sleeps) that update singletons (Arc<Lock<T>>) of important caches, which is way faster and more durable than Redis in certain cases. Actix makes these a breeze to work with.
Good question.

The simple answer is that they were doing many transactions internally. If you kept your BTC at FTX, FTX should have put your BTC in their wallet. Even though FTX customers would have been able to trade with each other off-chain, the total amount of BTC at FTX should have been visible.

They must have been playing some kind of shell game that made this kind of auditing ineffective.

For what it's worth, every branch of the military has its own criminal investigative arm, as well as its own security. While the vast bulk of this is limited to jurisdiction on military installations, they can't help but venture out sometimes. My wife used to work as part of a classified Naval air unit working on experimental radar, for instance, and they couldn't do everything on a Naval base. Every now and again, some people wearing AT&T coveralls or something that got too close would be kindly apprehended and escorted somewhere else by unmarked black SUVs that were part of NCIS. But what else are they supposed to do? The local police aren't cleared to know what's being guarded, either. They'd get apprehended and have their phones wiped, too.

It seems the main issue in the development process was they did not timely and adequately provide Mick with the content of the game levels so he could create music that matched the context/theme. He was often forced to make music purely on speculation, a lot of which got "dropped" (but then included without paying him). And apparently the developer can continually request revisions, unconditionally, until they get the desired product they want. This sounds like a system skewed toward the developer and ripe for abuse.
Sounds very anti trusty.

The Newtown Pippin:

> This sand-filled condom from Long Island was choked down in the 1750s by the likes of Thomas Jefferson at Monticello, George Washington at Mount Vernon, and Benjamin Franklin as he declared it his favorite apple. Perhaps the Newtown Pippin was once a great apple whose quality has degraded over the centuries like the crumbling democracy the Founding Fathers established. Or perhaps, after decades of eating pigeon pie and squirrel meat, these wooden-toothed slave owners’ tastebuds are not to be trusted. Either way, in today’s world, aside from being excellent for apple cider production, the Newtown Pippin is a tasteless hunk of malformed donkey shit that should’ve been abolished during the reign of King George III
If you make sure you aren't living in a single country for over 180 days, you can still utilize Dubai taxation. For example, you spend 179 days in your home country in the spring/summer, then travel a bit for a few months, then park in Dubai for winter. With regular Dubai visa, you'd need to spend 8 months there. Dubai's CoL is comparable to Germany. If you earn $200+k/year remotely, you can buy a house in your home country in a few years and move back. 0% tax means you get $200k, with monthly living expenses around $2000 including health insurance and rent, keeping $176k (adjust when married with kids etc.).
This list entirely ignores many of the highest rated apples. Adam's Apples, a long time apple reviewer, has six top ranked apples ("three stars, exceptional apple worth a quest"), all of which are exceptionally hard to find.

I'll debate that- the intrinsic value from exchange is less than the cost to pay the miners to run the network, therefore a negative net present value -- bitcoin is not a store of value, but fundamentally destroys value and relies on greater fools to buy for any price increase.
Pretty sure that's not sold in Europe
Yet millions of Japanese people are fairly adept at reading it. To be clear, APL actually has a tiny set of symbols. In day to day use, perhaps two dozen. Remember that these aren't "keywords" in the traditional sense, but more like the standard library. Contrary to popular belief, it's actually pretty easy to learn to read, as usually the symbols are mnemonic, or referencing well-known mathematical counterparts. Flipping a matrix in various ways is a circle and a line. For example, ⍉ means "flip diagonally" -- in other words, a transpose. To flip around the horizontal axis, guess the symbol: ⊖. Around the vertical? ⌽. The ceiling of a number is borrowed from maths: ⌈ etc. Counting the elements in an array is ≢ -- evoking the symbols you scratch on a piece of paper when tallying something up.
About the amount of work to make a toy banking system. I never tried, but there are some download and next next finish coin generators, right? So the bitcoin system is worth about a buck or so. (.. if I want to be very generous, we can add the value of the bitcoin brand, and that el salvador accepts it, some apps already can handle it, but really that's it. It's still negligible.)
> Do you want books to be the next low effort, low quality, ads ridden, ideology pushing, click bait, spam, micro transactions, gambling medium?

Were books and works that came before copyright law was invented "low effort" and "low quality"? What kind of mental gymnastics does it take to equate IP laws with creativity? It's rather with and because of copyright laws that literature and educational content have gone down the drain. It's now that many books get written with the sole intention of it getting consoomed by as many people as possible, riddled with dark patterns and cringy styles. Information and ideas are NOT your private property if you make them public.
It may well be for the purposes of this discussion. The ACLU of the past five years or so is such a radical departure from its tradition of guarding civil liberties; you now have directors of the ACLU publicly stating a desire to suppress published books and so forth, because it goes against their new political ideology.
I guess I’m not that surprised after seeing that balance sheet from FTX floating around.

For 80-85% of maximum pulse rate...

If your lungs are burning and you're about to collapse after 30 seconds of activity the intensity is about right.

Do 30 seconds high intensity, then 90 seconds low intensity (don't sit down or stand still), repeat 8 times.

Rowing and sprinting works really well.
Exactly how can there be any other answer other than $?
That would explain the relationship to glucose consumption as noted in the subheading of the article . In events like sprinting, the glycolytic pathway is the primary one.

This also seems somewhat related to the fact that we inject an irradiated glucose analog to make certain types of malignancy show up better on a PET scan (re: Warburg effect)
No, you would need a history of computing, which could also be called 'all the shit we tried before and abandoned, and why we laugh at that guy on reddit who thinks he just invented it'

I doubt bootcamps or certificate courses go over anything like that. half of a software engineering degree needs to be stuff like that. also soft skills like writing documentation.
Yes, Latvia and Estonia are the only two countries in Europe which allow this. That seems pretty unique to me.

Also corporate tax rates are veery low there compared to most other European countries (this this is the case in most of Eastern Europe)

> I mean, there are super simple rules to follow. Like don't take pictures of restricted objects. Just follow them and you are golden.

Show me where that rule is written. Typically the rules on state level are called laws and are published, so it should be easy for you to point out the law that forbids you to take pictures of "restricted objects" (how would you even know they are, do they have signs?) when they are in public places.

Note I am assuming here that he followed the restrictions around where to fly drones considering he urges others to do so:

Ah yes the US military bullies other countries so we can be rich so let's not criticise it, when it does unjust/illegal things. I don't consider that a very ethical argument.

It matters a bit, as it seemed that FTX had $1+ billion in Bitcoin customer liabilities which have evaporated.
> I don’t use nightly Rust, so for now, new_zeroed() won’t work

That's a completely fair observation. The main thing I want stabilised is a single niche for custom types. I would take more if offered but experience says that every extra little thing doubles the discussion time, so, one niche is all I need, and Rust guarantees this exists in some form so even if a later mechanism does - say - fancy non-contiguous niches, I just want one value ASAP.

https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3334

> “I want to allocate something large on the heap” and it doesn’t seem like I should need to use nightly builds or unsafe{} to do it.

The former makes sense to me, the latter (a requirement to use unsafe) I can see there can be cases where the compiler has to do a lot of contortions to safely but optimally mint the type in place in the heap and just writing the unsafe case is reasonable. I don't know anything about your type so I can't judge.

The beans with the weird pyramid and floating eye logo are definitely the best beans.
I've never heard arguments against multiple return paths from a bug standpoint. It's usually a performance optimisation standpoint.

I don't really see how it could increase bugs over setting a flag. With a function that sets a flag there's always a risk that you change the flag accidentally after you already hit the value you want.
Which is the same risk as returning earlier than you want, I suppose.

I just find the multiple return paths easier to read, debug and understand, rather than stepping through to trace the value of the flag, you just figure out which return is firing.

The more I write, the more I lean into immutability though. Bugs happen when values can change that shouldn't.
The privacy angle seems weird, given that US consumers don't seem to care much and domestic companies don't face nearly the same scrutiny.

Still, TikTok creeps me out. It's highly addictive. It has those ties to the communist party. China enforces a nerfed version of the app in their own country.

> He believes that the data China can get from TikTok isn’t particularly different or more useful than what it’s accused of obtaining through hacks or can just purchase from data brokers. Pro-Chinese propaganda is no concern to him, he said, adding, “Your average 15-year-old is not going to tune into a video extolling Xi Jinping.”

> Where he does see some risk is that China could use TikTok to censor, manipulate, or distribute disinformation.

To me, the moderation risk is too high. With any social media company, they have a lot of power to put their thumb on the scales in regards to what type of content gets disseminated. This is a big enough problem at US companies which are not (explicitly) political. This seems like a much worse version of that.
I think it might have to do with how much more available the tools are here (GPUs and such) and how it would be harder to repress disparate fake videos here than, for example, a unitary country with a state monopoly on news media (to those of you looking to read my comment in as stupid a light as possible that is not a commendation of such systems).
So then it goes back to the original point, which I believe is that the US is "uniquely susceptible" to the blowback of destructive deepfakes which is concerning to policymakers and think-tanks.
The real thing I want to be a pedant about here is how the suggestion solution is to "halt the commercial development of deepfake technology". First of all, you can't keep that cat bagged forever, and secondly a lot of such developments aren't commercial, they're Foss projects. You can't really mettle with those too much without cracking down on them in messier ways.
In addition to people mentioning the information asymmetry, healthcare demand is also inelastic and not substitutable. I have MS. If I sub out my treatment, I increase my odds of losing the ability to ever walk again. Likewise, if I have a relapse and end up in the hospital, I need steroids immediately.
Nah. They have already siphoned enough money through shell companies to buy many houses. International money trails are almost impossible to disentangle.
Reminds me of how Orwell preferred to write introductions to 1984 only for illegal reprints behind the iron curtain. I can't find the exact quote but he said that he'd write it for that audience alone as he knew without a doubt that they would read his introduction. If I ever actually write a book, I hope I have enough courage to do the same and only write introductions for cracked copies. You know the audience actually cares if they are willing to risk the fuzz just to read.
what I'm saying you do need to know JS really well before you even touch frameworks
They can spend 5 months in Japan, 4 months in Korea and 3 months in Hong Kong each year and be fine wrt taxation if they work remotely in the US.
I mean, the case in that video is from a kook and was dismissed. Doesn't take much to hide things publicly on IA's web archive as-is, many sites do just via robots.txt exclusions as a form of censorship, while general files there get requested or flagged to be hidden with enough regularity (copyrighted works, various moderation of uploads).
One time I was a little too honest on an anonymous survey and had to keep my head down because the CEO was looking for "The person who wrote that!" Lesson learned, when they say anonymous they don't mean anonymous and when they want honesty they don't want honesty.
This shouldn’t be surprising at all after seeing their balance sheet with round numbers like $5,000,000,000 in assets and $12,000,000,000 in liabilities. It looked like SBF made it in Excel while his LoL game was loading.
I'm not sure what you mean by "being a royal asshole politically". And yes, i'm pretty sure gp knows what destroyed his good-will with many, everyone knows, that doesn't mean it's his fault that the vultures are making an opportunity out of it.
If having a right as a journalist is only contingent on you not giving opportunities for those rights to be taken away you don't really have it.

I do wonder however how things would look if he leaked the other way around, especially now that the american left has been morphed into the same warhawks from the bush era and pretty much rolled back the entire public perception grounds gained regarding government surveillance after the NSA leaks. This whole misinformation hysteria has just given them an excuse to implement patriot act v2 lite, and worst of all it's being exported and done with a heavier hand internationally in places where you don't have the first amendment.

The disagreement is about the difficulty of "proving". I could say that unfriendly AI is clearly possible because evil humans exist. You could say that unfriendly AI is not proven possible until one has actually been built. But if you applied that standard to the letter, it would likewise fail it. Now, I agree that the case for AI is weaker, maybe much weaker, than the case for nuclear fission when the letter was written - there is, for instance, no clear research agenda that is held by preeminent researchers in the field to lead to it - though there are research groups, such as Deepmind, that have AGI as their explicit goal - but that also has nothing to do with being "proven" possible.

My argument is that for contested and dangerous outcomes, proof of possibility is an unreasonable standard, in good part because it massively underspecifies the goalposts.
looks good.but what difference between this one and appsmtih or budibase? can you convict me more than just price or something.
What's the simplest way to kill a Delaware C Corp?
I've got a Delaware C Corp, based in California, that I started in January of this year (2022). It was to be an online Software as a Service company. Sadly I was only able to get two customers and after several months of lost wages I eventually went back to a regular job.

The company never had any employees (except for myself, though I never gave myself salary). Of the two customers, the first paid me under $1,000 USD and the second under $2,000 USD, via check, with no contracts. I also personally deposited $5,000 into the company's bank account which then went to things like hosting fees.

The company was founded using Stripe Atlas. I registered it in the city I live in, San Francisco. I'm pretty sure it's registered in the US via Stripe Atlas. I tried to register it in California but I was unable to figure out the paperwork (certificate of good standing stuff). The company hasn't paid any taxes yet -- which might be another thing that I've screwed up.

At this point I'm wondering: what's simplest way to shut down the company and wrap up any liabilities (legal / taxes) that it may have? I would be happy to refund the customers if that makes things easier.

If the problem is featuring YouTube videos, isn't the appropriate action raiding the creators or perhaps uploaders of the videos?

Anyway, if the problem is the videos are of places around Area 51, isn't the appropriate action to enlarge the restricted area to contain the places that are sensitive?

And satellite images don't have too many sources either. So either you shoot down the satellites or contract with the operators not to sell pictures over Area 51 (or perhaps the greater Area 51 area).

None of this requires raiding a site that meerly collects these existing resources.
It's the cult of the entrepreneur, with a splash of anarcho-capitalism. Worker exploitation is impossible because employment is a mutual agreement, and individuals should be empowered to agree to work in arbitrarily bad conditions for arbitrarily long hours, because that preserves the meritocracy for those who work the hardest for the longest.
If the president is at Level 7 then it is an utter failure of their administration. Whatever the president's busy level is, it needs to be something that can be kept up with for years at a time without breaking down. They've got whole branches of government at their disposal to delegate tasks. I'd imagine the president's staffers try and keep it at or below a 4 90% of the time.
>>USA is the country that ratified fewer treaties.

yes, by design. We have a strong belief in our Sovereignty, We the people have no desire to be ruled by the UN or treaty, and International Treaties are generally viewed unfavorably by the public (correctly so). In fact most Citizens of the US (including myself) hold the UN in utter contempt and would support a withdraw (including our money) from the UN

Also no Treaty supersedes our Constitution.
