This doesn't make much sense to me. I think the problem is that arbitrage just dried up (as it does in a maturing market), and SBF got high on his own farts and started making directional bets. This is clear from the amount of FTT tokens that were held by Alameda in comparison to the amount of assets a typical market maker would hold relative to a pair's liquidity.

Banks have regulatory requirements that reduce risk. There are insurance mechanisms to protect bank deposits and securities insurance to protect custodial assets.

The problem with crypto stuff is that it was the Wild West and that atmospheric attracts and breeds crooks.

Wrt loans, people were pretending that these coins were cash. The reality is that they are sort of like virtual silver. All debts get settled in legal tender.

They can also get much more tracking and usage information through an app, especially since most users are lax about granting permissions.

SBF doesn’t just advocate that method of decision-making in the context of EA, he advocates fairly consistently for financial and other decision-making.
Ad-supported mobile games seem to work like this too, all their ads are for other free ad-supported mobile games. Also I downloaded a QR code scanning app and every time I tried to scan a QR code it showed me an ad for another QR code scanning app lol.

A lot of people may not remember this, but the microservices bandwagon was pushed heavily by Heroku, which (at the time) was a ubiquitous and influential platform among devs working at startups.

Why did they care? Because their particular hosting model at the time really couldn't handle complex architecture, so microservices speaking to each other over HTTP was the only way to do things.

The arguments in favor of microservices at least sounded good enough that they were adopted at a lot of orgs before anyone actually needed the supposed benefits, and it turned into a big mess.

Having a song silently removed from your "collection" after you discovered it on a streaming service and because it is streaming you only marked but don't remember the name is the most infuriating sucking thing ever.

Ever had a song you heard a long time ago and you never knew it's name then one day you find it? It's a gem, and then Google takes it away from you and you don't know the name and can't ever listen to it again. It's lost again...

Well, if you're scared of something, and it becomes mandatory, even when the decision comes from the most democratically elected government, you'll feel attacked.

Which raises a lot of questions (is "being scared" enough of a justification for refusing a law ? On the other hands, do democraticaly elected officials automatically get the right do decide what people should be "scared" about, without having any more evidence than anyone else - given that the only thing that can give evidence is time, time, and more time ?)

Questions that, unfortunately, had to be answered hastly and withouth much concerns for the unlucky ones - which, to be honest, is pretty much the theme of history, and we have been among the lucky one until now, so maybe we don't have that much to complain about.

> Imagine you're a rather small server and suddenly Eli Lilly and Company joins your instance.

The point of mastodon is not that big companies will join small volunteer-run instances. They can run their own mastodon servers, just like they run their own mail servers and chat servers (or, more accurately, they outsource running their own mail and chat servers to Google and slack).

The right place for ActivityPub to land is that businesses and institutions will host their own (or pay a SaaS offering to do it for them, like they do with email and their CMS today), individuals will sign up to shared services (like you sign up with gmail for email, or blogger.com to blog).

The problem is going to be holding the barbarians at bay. All the same stuff we have to do for email will need to be deployed: Community blocklists for misbehaving servers, IP reputation, ML spam detection…

And funding it will require cash which the adtech industry will spiral in and offer to provide. ‘Federate with our servers and we’ll pay you 1c for every message you allow us to post to your users…’ Server admins will resist for a while but eventually, the walls will crack.

Enjoy it while it lasts, this burst of old school volunteer-run internet. It won’t survive this eternal September. It never does.

My comments are not necessarily extrajudicial.
They are and can be very much judicial and "legal" depending on time & place.
(which is why legality in out of itself is irrelevant, outside of seeking legal advice)

You're still using terminology like "first degree murder", any kind of "killing" which could be called "justifiable" can't be without provocation or prior infliction of serious harm from the victim beforehand directly or indirectly. In other words, it's retaliatory and defensive in some sense.

>what other acts would justify killing somebody?

From top of my head, probably transmission of HIV without disclosing your status might be there (with some exceptions).

Legality of this warries from country to country and punishment for it is often times not proportional to the severity of the crime (of bodily harm/transmission). Like what's 5years for ruining somebody's life? Or no punishment at all?

But I think you're missing the key point and it isn't justifying "murders", but about actions having serious consequences. Compared to having ...... none basically.

Tailoring your CV, in my experience, simply means looking at the job description and then rearranging your achievements so that the things they are specifically asking for are mentioned at the top. Also make sure you use the same language as them and specifically mention the exact technology they put in the job description.

I do this, then I make a copy of the CV as MyName_CompanyName.pdf in my Documents directory so I can refer back to it if I get an interview.

I've never struggled to get an interview with this method and I'm pretty sure I'm one of the mediocre people on HN.
Xi and Biden cool the heat, but China and the US are still on collision course
> some in-person collaboration is needed on a regular basis

I keep hearing such arguments but those typically aren't backed up by any data or reason as to why that's the case.

That said, poster child remote-first companies such as Basecamp, GitLab, or Zapier have their people gather a few times throughout the year, too, to allow them to get to know each other better. That's not a contradiction at all and something entirely different than mandating people move to specific location to work there the entire time.
I'm a little disheartened by this apparently getting downvoted heavily. This needs to be talked about more. The market for developers is not what many people claim. Also, most organizations have blanket policies that restrict who they can hire and disqualify a huge percentage of applicants.
It's not rhetorical: The known donations, naming rights, etc. don't remotely add up to the amount of liabilities.

If their balance sheet was full of some external asset that had lost a ton of value you could say, okay customer deposited Bitcoin and FTX used it to buy whatevercoin and whatever coin lost 96% of its value. The money went to the people selling whatevercoin.

But in this case it's a mystery-- their balance sheet is full of magic beans but most of them are magic beans ftx and crew appear to have printed from nothing, not magic beans they would have had to buy on the market.

So customers deposited real money, a bit was spent on donations/etc. And FTX created some magic beans-- so where did the money go?

And my conjecture was just that a big chunk of the liabilities are also fake too-- the result of magic beans being deposited by 'customers' (really FTX insiders) and traded for paper bitcoin ('perpetuals').

Musk: Cancel Cancel Culture! 4:35 PM · May 19, 2020

Also Musk: I cancelled my engineer who had the guts to disagree with me.
Point is a tech CEO in 2022 should not be using scare quotes around microservices.

Nor is Twitter’s infrastructure a black box, as there’ve been plenty of talks, blog posts, and other material that explains substantial portions of the fundamental architecture. We know why they adopted GraphQL as the client interface, we know why they’ve used Strato, Thrift, etc.

In fact I’d go so far as to say that the average mildly interested developer who’s been reading Twitter’s developer blogs has a much better idea how how Twitter actually works under the hood than its new CEO demanding they get rid of 80% of services.

None of this means Twitter’s architecture is above criticism of course. There’s undoubtedly legacy stuff and tech debt there. But it’s unsightly and unfair for Musk to be publicly denigrating the engineers of the company he now owns, purely because he can’t understand how things work.
What you need, really, is centralized "big squares" where people can talk about limited topics with strong oversight (think: HN) but they can link too off-site spaces where smaller groups can have their own rules and topics.

I know some of these types of groups, and I don't really publicize them, because the people who would fit in will find them, no need to grow to world-wide size.
Conclusion:

We estimated that the lifting of masking requirements in school districts in the greater Boston area during March 2022 contributed an additional 45 Covid-19 cases per 1000 students and staff during the following 15-week period.
Overall, this estimate corresponded to nearly 12,000 additional Covid-19 cases among students and staff, which accounted for one third of the cases in school districts that lifted masking requirements during that time and most likely translated to substantial loss of in-person school days.
What you describe has a lot of merit but it also explains the move from silver currency to gold. Gold has a lot of interesting properties from the point of view of coinage and an instrument of value:

1. Up until the fairly recently (ie the last century) it was the densest element anyone could get in quantity. This was not true for silver so silver currency could (and was) debased (like you say). This was more difficult with gold as doing so would lower the density;

2. Gold has a relatively uncommon appearance. There are very few substances that could imitate its look. Iron pyrite (aka "fool's gold") is the common one but it's not as dense and is harder. It's also why people would bite into gold coins to verify it;

3. Shaving or cutting coins was actually more of a feature than a bug. Consider "pieces of eight" [1].

Previous metals as a basis for coinage were more important than perhaps you're giving it credit for. Ultimately what happened was that the coins themselves because a store of value and the metal content became less important as counterfeiting coins wasn't typically trivial. This of course was what ultimately led to paper money.

watching eric go through his arc of disillusionment in public, despite all his sincerity and hopefulness and intelligence was really sobering for me.

It's just not how power works. It's not how society works. I get that now, and it was amazing anthropology to see it unfold.
I've said elsewhere that I've had better response rates from direct applications (15-20%) than from third-party recruiters (~0%). My LinkedIn says I'm looking for work and I've gotten very little attention there. I'm sure relying on recruiters works for some people but it doesn't look like the way forward for me.

Desperate doesn't have to mean bad, it just means they have a hiring need and you're on hand to fill it. Unfortunately this is really the only option if you're otherwise going to have a tough time competing head-to-head with your peers.

I think I can give some sufficient conditions for a case in which I would consider someone to have “ceased to have free will”.

If someone X with some manner of advanced brain altering technology was able to temporarily force someone Z’s actions to be whatever X specified into the machine, with afterwards Z remembered the experience as their taking these actions for whatever reasons X specified in the input (where this is achieved by influencing whatever is going on in Z’s head at the time, not via altering memories),

then, during that duration, I think it would make sense to say that Z “did not have free will” for that duration.

As for sufficient conditions for someone to have “free will”, I suppose I don’t have a great description.

However, “what/who we are is the primary explanation for what we do (and so in particular, no external influence/manipulation is a primary explanation)” seems, like it has at least something right towards the goal of a good definition.
It's not immediately clear either way, but I'm guessing this is based on composable / software defined infrastructure components, like e.g. CXL memory.

Hardware wallets, which are recommended for holding significant amounts of cryptocurrency, are designed so that even if your normal computing devices get hacked or trojaned, the software running on them cannot steal the coins.

This is because the private keys are securely stored in the hardware wallet, which never reveals them to the outside world. The user has to physically confirm a transfer on the hardware wallet itself before funds can be spent (which is why they usually have either a small touchscreen or a non-touch screen plus physical buttons).

It was nowhere in your writing, sorry if that got confused.

I meant basically: "maybe give the few young people who suffered from some unforeseen side effects a break, and the right to keep their job without a next round of jabs" ? As far as I can tell, "having suffered side effects from the first 1/2/3 injection" is still not a valid exemption cause for vaccine mandates.

Caching is fine is there's no state involved. e.g: pure functions like the fibonacci sequence.

As soon as your cache depends on a mutable state, things get really hairy. Cache invalidation is one of the 2 hard problems in computer science, after all.

Automatic filtering is one of the only ways to prevent newly published content geared towards children from being malicious.

Clojure is more than just a Lisp for the JVM – it is a Lisp for the JVM with a big focus on immutable data structures – whereas traditionally most Lisps put mutability first instead. There are other Java-based Lisps, such as Armed Bear Common Lisp (ABCL), which are more traditionally Lisp-like in this regard. I think Hy is more of a traditional Lisp, since it shares Python's native focus on mutable data rather than trying to foreground immutability.
"@doener guess its an basic architectural problem... I would opt to offload content to cache servers so that the many messages interchanged by the instances only contain ID's / links to the content.
In an IPv6 world one even might use multicasts to send Content to the consumers more efficient...

Off course such concepts of less independent instances are a different mindset.

Any fully distributed system of independent instances must end up in some "maximization" of bandwidth usage.

@doener also, if you think about such cache servers (editing content will be a 'problem'), one should optimise the then smaller messages interchanged between instances and between instances->users in a way, that these fit into the least count of Ethernet-frames. In an optimal world: one!

Maybe in a BitTorrent way, users could also act as "cache servers" for content."
