Ok, so first off, that first link that you posted was to a website called Protos. Oh, I did this by hand, so I might have miscounted, but I'll write up some software and start documenting the graph of all of these allegations on the plane tomorrow... The article contained 23 links. 13 of those links were to other articles on Protos. Of the remaining 10, the only primary sources I could find were:

https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/alameda-research

https://markets.ft.com/data/funds/tearsheet/summary?s=MT7000...

https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/nodes/55087847

And then a broken link to something on https://eservices.mas.gov.sg

I can't seem to piece together the same narrative as you have from these primary sources.

Maybe there are more primary sources in those links. As soon as I enlist a computer to do this work for me I'll know.

I was not aware that FTX was a bucket shop, ie, never delivered any of the traded assets and was just pure gambling. Do you have a primary source on this?

The allegations that FTX were engaging in fraudulent accounting practices seems pretty strong at this point. The allegations that FTX were misusing customer's commodities seems pretty strong at this point.

The allegations that involve a complex web of many different characters acting as co-conspirators all seem pretty weak at this point.

The better question is: do you trust a complex web of secondary source material?

> Paying the subscription fee for Sunday social club is not charity nor generosity.

Did you reply to the wrong person?

> because they don't want welfare for people not in their club.

Hu? If you meant to reply to me, I have no idea what you are talking about.

Churches (I assume that what you mean - what is a "Sunday social club"?) don't require a subscription fee to be given charity.

Are you just trying to be annoying or something?
I'm visiting family for the holidays, and tried to explain the situation to my grandmother.

When I told her what Copilot does and that it no longer works for me, she said:

"Oh, so it's like recipes? I start with an idea of what I want to cook, and I ask Google, and it tells me the ingredients.
"Except now you can't look up any ingredients, so you have to cook it from memory."

Yes grandma, exactly. Someone turn the recipes back on, please =(
> We would rather reverse your $20k bill and keep you alive

And as a customer, I never want to be in a position where I ever see $megabill. Maybe I might be able to get reversed if the gods smile upon me that day, but it would be incredibly stressful until I had resolutions. Seems an obvious blindside for “customer obsessed”. Anything I might host is practically a joke for which I would gladly have the provider pull the plug if billing suddenly spiked above pre-established threshold. I’ll take the downtime if it helps me sleep at night.
Ethernet / RJ45 could displace USB 3/4. It's technically superior in every way. The only barrier that I can see is the standards folk would need to come up with a new RJ45 connector that is designed for end users.
I have seen nobody say that twitter will break in days.

What I have seen is people say the service will have degradation, which I have definitely observed first hand. I have also noticed the quality of ads have gone from major brands using it, to what I would consider much lower quality ads. Additionally, for some of the few mainstream ads I have seen, there have been ads I have seen directly above/below NSFW/NSFL content, which is a major brand safety issue.

Being blunt, they have saddled themselves with massive amounts of debt, their revenue sources are fleeing quicker than they can replace, some of their core user bases are actively trying to find a different platform and they have hemorrhaged employees they want to keep. Couple that with the current leadership at Twitter being very impulsive and doing stuff like unbanning everyone’s accounts (do people remember when ISIS was recruiting on Twitter), ad buyers (where almost the entirety of their revenue comes from) don’t see things getting better soon.

Even someone who is blinded by Elons charisma can add 2+2 and realize as a company that Twitter is in murky waters. MySpace didn’t disappear in a month, neither will Twitter.
So you don't have an answer, only vague allusions to things you heard somewhere?
Web3 wallets? I'm always looking for more ways to have my financial info mined by even creepy weirdos. This sounds perfect!

For real though, the state of popular wallets says a lot about the average crypto investor, and it's bad
Wow, barbaric. In fact, that's truly awful. I wish it surprised me that human beings could think or say such things.
Yes, the crypto world is a hornet's nest, but the non-crypto world is ruled by bankers with an ever-increasing thirst for control over our lives. (Read up about the Fed's new CBDC plans)

As far as I'm aware, Monero and cash are the only practical ways to pay anonymously.

So, who are worse? The congressmen who (perhaps in this case naively) tried to avoid overregulating crypto, or the remaining congressmen who continue to condone an economy completely manipulable by private bankers by way of the Federal Reserve?
This depends - if a person goes out of their way not to find out whether the goods are legitimate, it's equally bad.

Either way, if you possess stolen goods, they will usually be taken from you and returned to their owner. If that happened to a lot of Amazon customers, the refund volume would encourage Amazon to crack down on their supply chain.

There are 'ghost hunting' groups that go around trying to identify ghosts by process of elimination. All of them find some other reason for the noises, the tingly feelings, the gusts of air, the creaking floorboards caused by east-west heating gradients.

If you do any software development or IT, you can use Termux (https://termux.dev/en/) on Android devices (smartphones, tablets, and Chromebooks).

It does have to be either sideloaded or installed through f-Droid due to restrictions on the Google Play store.

I have used Termux with both the onscreen keyboard (for small edits) and with an external bluetooth keyboard and it works great.

Vanilla Android is not really designed for desktop replacement, but it is workable for a lot of use cases.

It's not fair to blame Elon for a few marketing firms telling all of their clients to stop advertising on Twitter because they don't like Elon.
Political parties have no legal authority to expel a member from Congress. Parties are voluntary private organizations with no formal role in any branch of government. The most the parties can really do to punish a politician is to withdraw financial and organizational support, which might make reelection difficult.

I'll go one step further and say that if your website/app/service can be taken offline by any issue with a single vendor, it's more than an emergency, it was engineered incorrectly from the start.

Do we really have to explain? She is patient because she is willing to unlock multiple deodorants for a customer until they find one they are satisfied with, she’s a hard worker who puts others needs above her own. Her family relies on the store for income and she is working there even when she should just be focusing on school. Because of rampant theft, the family cannot afford to lose inventory the way other stores can.

Finally, the adherence to the hijab shows that she knows her place in the world. She is here to serve, not chase her own self interests and hedonism. Hence why she will be a good doctor in the service of others.

Takahē are interesting birds too. There is a related bird the pūkeko which was also blown to NZ but at a different time. It has relatives in Australia and South America also. It was thought to be extinct at one point, caused by predation by introduced pests, and introduced deer eating the grasses they rely on for food. Now there is a population of about 400?

You don't have to intend to commit a crime to have mens rea. You merely have to intentionally do all the steps involved in the crime. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse, and neither is intentional ignorance of whether you are breaking it or not.

Pawn shops got the receiving end of this deal a while ago. Now it's Amazon's turn.
check out MUMPS!

Is this an arguement that writting c to impliment awk, SQL, html/java script using raw X11 to input/output data is easier to do correctly / easier to understand / less buggy than just webassembly compiling gawk and use with standard web browswer features such as html/javascript etc.? Former C stuff is few million lines of code, later is less than a 1000. (including sql & database features in awk). ARC & icon language ports (5th generation programming languages), under a few hundred.

The arc & icon language ports would be smaller, but smaller code base means easier to add/impliment user requested features and still keep things 'small/understandable'.

Would much rather deal with under a few hundred than the equivalent few million lines of code.
It’s called receipt of stolen property, and it’s a crime. Doesn’t matter if you’re Amazon.
That’s what I thought too until I learned about

- the dna that doesn’t code for proteins but makes up the vast majority of human dna

- the intron regions of genes that are translated into RNA but then sliced out of the RNA and not transcribed into protein and are 5x larger than the coding parts

Those two things alone are absolutely critical to understand to interpret a genome sequence. Of course there is much more.
It’s better than not lifting but it’s nothing to brag about for sure. Most people I know who train or lift and are ~160lbs usually do 225lbs for reps (~5 or so).

>There are easier ways to admit you’re wrong than ad hominems. Cheers

You’re just demonstrating that you don’t even know what ad hominem means.

“edgyquant is an idiot; therefore he is wrong” is an example of an ad hominem.

“edgyquant is an idiot” is merely a statement of fact

How does it feel being so pathetic that you have to substitute “insult” with “ad hominem” in a desperate attempt to seem smart?

All of that is pretty cool, but it's nothing compared to what the Greeks accomplished over 2000 years earlier. Or the Romans, or the Chinese, or the Egyptians, or the Incas, etc. The Native Americans were downright primitive by comparison with other civilizations. Especially on the prairies of Canada where they were basically hunter-gatherers living in small bands. I am likewise disheartened by your wilful ignorance of the truth.
One of my favorite papers. :)
My favorite CAD story came from around the time when the ability to create 3D renderings from the plans came around. The company my dad worked for had a disagreement on the location of a set of pipes running along a corridor. Once the 3D render was available, it was clear that the plans were very wrong and would have placed the pipes in an impossible manner. I never did learn why the CAD ops were so sure they were right, but just one of those funny stories that stuck you just made me think of it again.
>The fact that the only solution you see is "punishment" is exactly the problem. No reasonable punishment will stop these crimes. Period.

Reasonableness can be debated. That these crimes are unstoppable less so; not only is any crime stoppable, if stoppable means reducing the yearly instances of it. It's disproven because the crime numbers have gone up since these policies have been implemented and we've reduced incarceration rates. It's a correlation that you can't ignore.

Your humanitarian argument is absolutely legitimate, how we deal with people who steal, often out of necessity due to addiction, mental illness, or other desperation. It's hard to say that punishment is always an inhumane option though. We can't run a society and dense cities without an enforcement of some order, since that concerns the other 99% who aren't committing these crimes. If pharmacies close and parks are unusable, everyone suffers.
John B. on quick sort. Just awesome explanation

To quote a HN user talking about another similar instance of a cloud service failing to support their customers:

> “You've got an additional problem though, which is that this tells us you have two support channels: one that doesn't work (i.e. yours, the one you built), and one that does (Twitter-shaming). The first channel represents how you act when no one's watching; the second, how you act when they are. Most people prefer to deal with people for whom those two are the same.”

I'm pretty sure anything over 100% implies some sort of necromantic rising of the dead. An infinity would surely lead to collapse into blackhole and I think we'd know.
No-one is talking about proper moderation in moderation, I assume the reply was meaning people like Discord and Reddit mods who are often irregular people who overstep what is needed from them. It reminds me of American cops and Politicians - I think a certain kind of weird personality is driven just to get any taste of power they can exercise on people.

Being opposed to people like that isn't ODD. Its also something I think will be a problem in selling Mastodon - it's easier to justify a strict dictatorship in a small community when other choices are available, "just go somewhere else then?", than it is on big social media platforms where the expectation (at least in theory) is that they'll be somewhat balanced and impartial. No expects impartiality from a discord mod.
> Also what are you even trying to argue with that second bit?

A number of things. Perhaps the most obvious of them being that any proposed magical solution has to be compared to common sense baselines. We never do that.

Eliminating ALL of the US and China (as in: They evaporate from this planet and cease to exist) can't fix the problem. At all.

Taking that as a simple factual baseline, I can't think of a single proposed so-called solution that even begins to compare to such an extreme, much less actually reduce atmospheric CO2 concentration.

The fact of the matter is it will take 50K to 100K years. We can kill ourselves in the process. We are not going to make it happen faster. We can't do that. We would have to violate the laws of physics. That tends to fall under the "impossible" category.
You just added more evidence to my theory that there are a lot of 3D printers sold to "enthusiasts" where it sits in a corner covered by a sheet just like a lot of grease monkeys have a car in a garage covered by a sheet that one day will get restored.
Is the W3C known for astroturfing? I certainly haven't seen a check.

ActivityPub has just kind of been there. A few million people got used to Mastodon and then some of them started to wonder how it works, and that leads them to ActivityPub. So now there's an audience for new and restored articles on it.
Any specific episode is relevant?
There is "a you" component. But this is not a unique situation, it happens to a lot of folks all the time, however, everyone is different so any advice here would be general. It probably makes more sense to think of a framework you can apply to reason about the conflicts you've had. For that a career coach or even a therapist could help. These folks are well trained in helping you figure it out.

In the end, you are the only person you can control so it only makes sense to focus on you and what you can do about it.

In my experience these types of Conflicts typically arise when there is a lack of clear communication and expectations. So one way to move forward is to become curious and non-judgmental. Ask questions and be genuinely curious. You mention one instance where it was a "mundane issue related to technology". The outcome here was you changed jobs. So, now the question is.. was it worth it? Was that a positive, negative or neutral outcome?

If it was negative or say neutral.. How would you approach that situation today? Or how could you have approached that situation differently? Perhaps resulting in a more positive outcome for both parties?
This reminds me of the old trick to detect the polarity of the ignition coil on an engine, using a pencil.

Protos is a news agency. The primary source of their report is the blockchain. You're free to replicate their work or try to falsify it by pulling the same transactions they did and verifying their work. To date, no one has disputed what they published, including Tether and Alamedia/FTX.

A bucket shop is a place that says it is executing trades but is not, in fact, executing trades and is instead trading in phony assets. FTX did not have the assets on hand, as it had given them to Alameda. This is the definition of a bucket shop.

The source is FTX, they said they had given away their customer funds and didn't have them. What more do you want?
Google could let Chrome rot: Microsoft let Internet Explorer rot back in the days before Edge (primarily because Microsoft recognised that browsers would compete with their Windows monopoly: which is exactly what happened).
