"Enforcement powers, while conceptually broader with respect to non-SEC
regulated entities, are still circumscribed by statute, federal judicial review, congressional
oversight and the Commission’s own policies and procedures for initiating and conducting
inquiries and investigations."

Now that's being squishy-soft on crime. That's the point to make when those members of Congress come up for re-election. They're soft on crime.

The basic law the SEC enforces, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is pretty clear on what's a security. The Supreme Court has clarified that. Investment of money, expectation of profit, common enterprise - it's a security. That's called the Howey Test. It's also been established that what you call it or how it works doesn't matter. There have been, over the years, many imaginative schemes cooked up to get around this. The Howey case involved tradeable orange grove harvesting rights in Florida. That was held to be a security.

The crypto crowd has been yammering for years "but this is different". Well, it's not.

The scams around crypto are classic. It's usually insiders stealing the money. The crashes are also classic. It's someone being over-leveraged when something goes down.

I couple of weeks ago, I watched a really good talk by Nima Arkani-Hamed on the same topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL77oOnrPzY that I discovered via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33229614

I found Nima's lecture to be a masterclass on how to explain very advanced physics topics without using unnecessary jargon, or math. Highly recommended for anyone interested in this topic.
They mean fluid mechanics, materials, solid mechanics, thermodynamics, statics and dynamics, control system theory, etc.

> Coders tend to be precise with their language, but most people prefer to read imprecise sentences so you easily gravitate towards imprecise language if you try to practice writing.

Preferring to read imprecise sentences comes down to what the purpose of the written work is, does it not? Clear and precise technical documentation and even research papers are really helpful and can be practiced. If it’s poetry or a level of emotional buildup such as in fiction is needed, then that’s what people will prefer. Context on what is being written matters.
It depends on how uncommon what you want is, although I agree it is very low effort in general. For example, there was not too long ago an issue with the kernel not booting from syslinux for a few weeks. Also, arch-announce mentions a manual fix needed if you have a particular package installed every few months, so good to subscribe to that and fix as described if needed.

https://lists.archlinux.org/mailman3/lists/arch-announce.lis...

My suggestions:
1) Keep both linux and linux-lts installed since otherwise you have no backup if the one you normally use doesn't work.
2) Always fully update the system since dependencies aren't always fully specified and a partial update can damage the rest of the system. If you need to hold back a package, add it to the IgnorePkg= line in /etc/pacman.conf until it works again.
3) Avoid AUR except for rare cases where you review the package manually (always avoid AUR helpers).
4) Don't be too lazy even though things mostly just work, check your boot logs at least every year or so to improve the chance of fixing issues before they cause trouble and look for and deal with pacnew files at least a few times a year.
It’s an escalating game of chicken. You can see it happening in the new Congress with public statements from the Republican incoming majority leader to remove certain Democrats from committee assignments (e.g. removing Schiff from the intelligence committee).

Not that long ago that was unheard of and either party could seat whoever they’d like in a committee. But similar to how the Democrats killed the executive appointment filibuster, they killed that as well by refusing to seat Republicans on the Jan 6th and removing some from other committees .

Now it’s going to come full circle. I wouldn’t be surprised if it eventually gets to unseating or refusing to seat a controversial figure.

The thing is though, at least in the US and Canada, the law explicitly says you can swap out parts in your car with third party parts, and auto makers are not allowed to void your warranty.

A heated seat is really just a coil in the seat you feed voltage through, and it gets hot. So if you find the input to that coil, and find a 12V rail or run a line from the battery, you can install a little rocker switch to power the heated seat, and there’s nothing the manufacturer can do to stop you.

Whoever makes the PKGBUILD, it almost always points to and builds from the original project's git server in a client machine. You can verify that from the package's AUR web page.

And about project maintainers running PPAs - Say you're a dev, and you want to package binaries for your software. What's easier, whipping up a quick PKGBUILD once and putting it in your git server, thus allowing anyone to get the latest updated build at anytime, or setting up accounts and painstakingly compiling and updating each build to a PPA? Are you aware of the hundreds of abandoned PPAs that lie orphaned after maintainers gave up in frustration about how cumbersome they are?

Of course maybe if they don't actually want to do it and just have to do it for income I shouldn't be so thankful?

ITT: liberals saying it's cruel that Musk changes the company.

As though any company has an obligation to employ people.

And most importantly, even though Twitter basically just employs PhDs, and other smart people, to hijack our monkey brains into mindlessly scrolling, engaging toxic emotional provocations and consuming advertisements.

Musk lives rent-free in so many peoples' minds. Another sort of derangement syndrome.

Twitter has been having actual issues. I have routinely been seeing “this tweet is unavailable,” and have to refresh once or twice to get the tweet to load. The old Twitter kept on top of those kinds of issues because having a reliable app is key to keeping ad money rolling in.

New Twitter hasn’t had a major outage yet, but the degradation in various services kind of suggests that the remaining SREs/ops people are overwhelmed, since they can’t even keep up the full functionality of the site.
That's why news sites are writing articles about it. They always cover the most inane irrelevant stuff so that people don't read their sites. Great argument.

Great potato story. Loosely related story here. My late grandfather in Belarus (the land of potatoes) loved potatoes just like everyone around. Well, he was an electrician at the concrete/brick making factory for entirety of his career, from right after the war until he retired in the late 80ies. The amount of electricity used to fire the kilns for bricks is well known to be huge. He said that they'd see the rats scutter along the power lines on the wall and every once in a while they'd touch the rails wrong and disappear in the scintillating disintegration. Oh, and he let me weld random junk together with his own cobbled together electrical welding kit when I was like 8, oh I loved that so much. I miss him.
You may be right about that. I haven’t discovered one, either.

This comment makes no sense in the context of America. I guess you're from a country with some sort of Parliamentary system where governments are formed when a party is elected?

In America, parties aren't elected and don't form governments. Accordingly, an American political party cannot kick out a congressman, much less replace one. To remove a congressman requires a two third vote (from congress, not from a political party); this never happens in the modern era without a criminal conviction as the impetus. And nether congress or a political party can simply bring in a new congressman; you'd need another election for that.
I know that FTX wasn't a bank. I was just loosely summarizing their remarks. I also know that this is not a good thing to be doing. What I don't know is what else they were doing. And neither do you. I'm sure that when this goes to trial that this will all be sorted out.

I know it isn't a criminal proceeding but to me that isn't an excuse for a lack of rigor in any discussion. Why not the Kardashians if we want to have a little fun trash talking strangers online?

I'm actually not very interested in the "Protos Papers" because I still have no idea what that has to do with FTX misusing customer commodities! If it is being used to speculate that they were pumping and dumping other coins or some other fraudulent behavior I am still not interested. Why? Because it is speculation! The courts will figure it out! Why are there so many people "doing research" like it's QAnon or something?

I'll get to the meat of it: I see the current media ecosystem as being a conspiracy theory generating machine and as every day goes by more people that I interact with are finding some kind of rabbit hole to get lost in, speaking of things as objective facts when they have never left their living rooms and their only source of information is an array of pixels sitting on their lap or held in the palm of their hands.

In one Twitter interview he seems to argue that his company did the same thing you describe about Enron: Steps that seemed fine in isolation but got out of hand.
>If bankers can get away with treble damages, then maybe shoplifters should to

What other crimes do you hold this standard with? Should rapists and murders not go to jail since bankers get away with crimes?

>Even if you are super cynical, throwing a shoplifter in jail accomplishes what?

It removes a person willing to shoplift from society.

>If they have a job, they'll lose their job. If they have a home, they'll probably get evicted. They'll have to go through a court system that has to deal with this. People will have to do a bunch of work to move this person through the system.

Same thing happens with any criminal. Why not avoid the paper work and avoid arresting murderers.

>And at the end of the day someone goes to jail a bit and leaves, and there's no safety net, so they're just permanently worse off. Congrats, you not only wasted an outsized amount of resources for petty theft, but now the person is back in society with less means of getting anything done in a legal way.

>If you consider people to actually be people who you want to see improve, there's a hell of a lot better things to be done than putting people in jail for petty theft. At least in the US system.

Perhaps this is true, but you are putting the cart before the horse. We need to fix the things you mentioned before we avoid jail time.
> scary-looking guy in a biker jacket, helping his sister open a ballet studio

I think this illustrates the possible unspoken angle of the post. Is the post trying to show a surprising contrast? And if so, should I be surprised to see anyone, hijab or not, working in a family pharmacy store while also working on their MD?

With your example, a scary-looking guy in a biker jacket evokes a certain feeling (fear, worry, etc.), but then we find out that he's just a good guy helping his sister do something that's very unlike his nature - or the nature we would assume a "scary-looking" guy in a biker jacket would be about.

By this example, I would take it to mean that your interpretation is that a girl in a hijab is a scary person to worry about, but in reality she's just a good, smart, hard-working girl helping her family.

This is why I raised the initial question. These couple of extra specific details lead somewhere. I wanted to know where, because the perspective was not provided. The reader was left to make their own assumptions or draw conclusions. Based on your example, we see one conclusion: fear of people in hijabs, but that such fear is not appropriate.

I take the perspective that the hijab doesn't represent a special person nor a person to fear any more than a guy with a baseball cap on his head sideways means something other than "he likes to wear a cap in a way that doesn't block the light from his eyes".
My reasoning is simple: Do you believe humans have been drinking 2-3 liters per day historically? If you don't think so, why are you drinking as much today?! Unless you have some condition, don't drink water when you're not thirsty!

Banning proof of work is tantamount to banning computation, it's silly and infeasible unless you want to start monitoring what people calculate.

As someone who speaks only English fluently, and understands only the barest smattering of French, I still don't want to encourage linguistic parochialism here. In this community as in any other, it's all too easy to fall into bubbles; why not encourage content in a variety of languages as we do content from a variety of points of view, especially when (as scarface mentioned https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33738980) good auto-translate is available, and helpful users like you can link to additional context in English?

(I'd also mention that it's not obvious to me that relatively few here use French. Do you know that, or is it a guess?)

>> The subscription model is better since customers don't have to buy more CPU than what they need plus should they change their mind they can just upgrade.

On the contrary, with the subscription model, customers must continue to buy the CPU they need and how much they need to pay for it is subject to Intel's whims.
