There's a huge push in the UK not to use GB abbreviation unless necessary, because it excludes Northern Ireland.

During the S&L crisis in the 1980s there were many bank failures with clean auditor opinions that turned out to be massively insolvent.

During the early 2000s you had quite a few, including Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, Parmalat and other accounting scandals.

During the 2008 crisis it turned out that large parts of the financial system was insolvent, but all had clean auditor opinions.

As William K. Black says it, in control frauds (where the fraudsters are the the persons in control of the institution), accounting fraud is the weapon of choice.

The problem with Crypto is there's nothing but frauds and Ponzis.

> Git is absolutely the wrong tool for the job as hashes in git are used as identifiers to identify a specific change, but not to cyrptographically checksum the document/the change to the data. Git commits can also merged, rewritten, squashed or deleted – something is absolutely unacceptable in the compliance space.

Read up on git internals, it's a very elegant and simple design and you seem to assume a few things about it that are flat out wrong. A git repository is in fact a Merkle tree. Every commit is chained to the previous commit via a hash that includes the commit content and the hash of the previous commit. So, git history is immutable. You can't modify commits without breaking the chain of hashes. It's by definition append only.

You can of course modify your local copy of a git repository and rewrite history (i.e. change all the hashes). But that makes it incompatible with upstream history. People tend to use this to clean up their local change history before they send it upstream. With the exception of force push (i.e. just overwrite the remote repository), there is no way to merge a rewritten history. In order to merge changes, there MUST be a shared commit with the same history. It's not optional.

I would say that the jury is still out on that one.
Many moons ago my job was banging out greebles and low poly textured models for arch-viz (architectural visualisation) libraries. Think variations of "technological" shapes to provide detailing for a space ship, chair models to be used in background of render of fancy new office, or door variation number 26 type models. Yes it was as boring as it sounds. A lot of the models have ended up being used in games more recently as well as GPUs have got better. I can certainly see these types of systems being good enough to replace that type of drudge work in modelling pipelines within the next two years.
What I really want to see (now that my livelihood doesn't depend on it) is a system that can produce models from prompts with decent mesh topology suitable for rigging (or even auto rigged) and that can be separated into component parts and even have physics applied to them.

> If someone has lent an exchange assets against its users' assets then it's not at all clear that they have the superior claim to those assets if the exchange goes bankrupt can't repay those liabilities.

Right, but if an exchange took out a bank loan, the loan was recalled, and the exchange repaid it with customers' deposited cash and later goes bankrupt - possession is nine-tenths of the law.

Especially if the exchange intentionally has a structure that can avoid international tax laws - who's to say it won't also avoid international bankruptcy laws?
"False" is meaningless in a logic system that relies on probabilities in stead or true/false.

> Client money is segregated in special bank or custody accounts, which are designated for the exclusive benefit of clients of IBKR. This protection (the SEC term is "reserve" and the CFTC term is "segregation") is a core principle of securities and commodities brokerage. By properly segregating the client's assets, if no money or stock is borrowed and no futures positions are held by the client, then the client's assets are available to be returned to the client in the event of a default by or bankruptcy of the broker.

Because segregation is a necessary prior to enshrine further protection on customer assets.

You are both right and wrong, because you (and I) are not clearly distinguishing between different kinds of efficiency and effectiveness.

Liquid cooling is, without question, more /effective/. It makes things cooler, it has a far higher capacity for heat transport.

However, with /efficiency/, you do weigh the results against the effort put in: A solution is more efficient if the quotient result/effort is higher. However, in case of cooling, there are two ways to measure effort: energy expended or money expended. In the case of energy efficiency, yes, liquid cooling is better, because of the aforementioned higher effectiveness of heat transport, lesser energy expenses for pumps/fans and easier energy reuse. However, financially, all that liquid handling, custom piping, pumping, coolant, etc. is by far more expensive than a few air ducts and fans. Even with air-air heat pumps, air cooling is still less expensive, so better financial efficiency. That's why everybody is doing it as a default atm.
> Was thinking similar thoughts recently about Civ 6, and how much longer it takes to load saved games than Civ 2 ever did.

Original Civ opens with a dramatic intro sequence:

In the beginning

the earth was without form

and void.

But the sun shone upon the sleeping Earth

and deep inside the brittle crust

massive forces waited to be unleashed

(It goes on for quite a while after that. The unofficial guidebook to Civilization, Rome on 640K a Day, notes that there's a text file containing the intro lines, and suggests replacing them with Douglas Adams' popular quote "In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry, and been widely regarded as a bad move. [...]")

You can press escape to skip the intro, except that that won't work on computers contemporary to the game.

I eventually realized that the intro sequence is there to mask the time the computer takes to create the world at the beginning of the game. Skipping won't work until the world has been laid out in the background.

Loading is quick though.
One thing that's notable is that an insulator for high temperatures (eg. Soft fire brick) is very different from an insulator for low temperatures (eg. Your freezer).

High temperature stuff might get 0.3 W/mK.

Low temperature stuff, for example polyurethane foam used in fridges, are 0.02 W/mK - 10x better!

If someone can invent a high temperature insulator that is as good as low temperature insulators, then that could translate to lots of saved energy.

I wonder how the government officials were able to track him for decades? The Man of the Hole moved at least 50 times during that period in an area of 31 square miles (8,000 ha), which is one-third bigger than the land area of Manhattan. We see news reports about searching for lost hikers or campers, who want to be found, involving dozens of officials, volunteers, and dogs scouring the wilderness for days or weeks without success. Yet the Brazilians officials have been able to locate him many times.

I wonder if they are using some sort of aerial surveillance. Maybe looking for heat signature from a fire at night? (Assuming he knows about or even needs fire.) Or perhaps trail cameras placed all over his territory. In a YouTube video the officials are seen giving him an axe and other gifts. A GPS locator hidden in the handle of the axe? I don't believe that's the answer, but thinking about all the nature videos I've seen in which GPS trackers are attached to birds, whales, mountain lions, and even house cats wandering the garden, it is at least technically doable.

Hopefully there are some outdoorsmen here on HN who can shed light on how the tracking might be done.

You may call it laziness or being bratty, but, honestly, I am really tired of having more than 1 email address for my online identities.

Also, the Google Suite charges for a single mailbox are quite affordable, and given the add-on features like SPAM protection and large mailbox size, are very desirable.

I have a couple of Oceanus[0] (Casio’s boutique brand) watches that I wore, all the time, for years (I brought them in Japan). They replaced a Junghans Mega MF[1],

They are all collecting dust. I’ve been wearing Apple Watches for years.

The Apple Watch costs half as much as my other watches, and is less attractive, but I have really come to rely on its utility.

I have a friend that just got the Ultra. It’s a cool watch, but way too bulky and awkward-looking, for me. Reminds me of a Suunto watch, a friend of mine once owned.

First and foremost, I need to know exactly what time it is. The weather functionality is also important to me.

For many folks, a watch is jewelry. I had a friend that used to wear a broken Brietling.

That’s better, but many trigger conditions are abstract and not implementable as alerts.

Consider for example “this code will only work under the assumption that all of our clients are US companies”.

Detecting in code that the company is aiming at international expansion soon is probably not possible, because if your code was generic enough to account for different countries you wouldn’t have this problem in the first place.
I think people are reading too far into it. It's just a joke...

The point is that they're telling the subject of the story (in second person so it's addressed to "you") that you're in a cult and they're going to rehabilitate you - but as you read on, you might notice that the rehabilitation is describing, you guessed it, a cult!

It's not actually making a comment that everybody is actually in institutions that are like cults or anything, that's just part of the (satirical) brainwashing that the cult is using to bring people in.

The novelty of Blockchain is that it's a way for everyone to agree about which blocks are in the chain, such that we're confident everyone won't change their minds later. The content of the blocks is irrelevant to the consensus, in which every participant will independently pick the longest valid chain it can see.

(In other words: yes, you've got it exactly right, but there are some details around incentives that tie creation of blocks to receiving some kind of benefit which mean that in practice someone will reduce things to money at some point)
A common issue of having a majority of "feature oriented" engineers on your team is that they block any effort to improve the existing codebase, so while you're cranking features out, the code slowly rots and technical debt creeps in.

The counterpart of this is having a majority of "perfection oriented" engineers, in which you have top notch processes and code, but with endless yak shaving and little product work being done :)

It wasn't my contention that an AI could identify every single prime on the number line or that it could prove whether a number was prime. I was saying that an AI could increase the efficiency in finding candidates for testing.

I'm not going to triple down and say I know God exists or doesn't, I just made the observation that humans find order in chaos where no such order exists. A lot of algorithms generate the appearance of a pattern while having no real pattern and I don't see why primes are special. (practical usefulness of proof in crypto aside, which could also be done less elegantly with any set of irrational numbers calculated to a sufficiently difficult number of digits).

First, Project Loom was announced in late 2017 [1]. So I don't really understand where you get that decade from? Second, it is available as a preview feature in latest JDK. Why would people adopt a preview feature in their production systems? A lot of frameworks have already added support or as a minimum started working on support for virtual threads. I'm sure all major frameworks will support them once they are out of preview.

Crypto is a first-world solution to mostly non-existent problems. "The poor unwashed and huddled masses of unbanked in authoritarian regimes will surely be helped by a system that requires smartphones, always-on internet, and trips to limited offline currency exchanges (heavily monitored in authoritarian regimes) to get any value out of fictional tokens" isn't a solution you want to make others believe it is.
