Wire fraud != fraud, theft, or embezzlement.

It’s a specific sub-type of fraud, and your link is pointing to a specific list of elements within a certain jurisdiction.

Even then, that vox conversation cited above combined with what we already know is likely to be enough to prove at least embezzlement.

Here is a link to some elements of the crime for that if you’re interested.

Based on what we’ve seen so far, unless he somehow can convince a Judge or Jury that he didn’t know what was happening, it would be very implausible someone couldn’t get a sizable conviction somewhere on one or more of those charges. But we won’t know for sure until the situation has been analyzed. But he sure isn’t helping himself.

Which is why I said what I said. He could of course have no defense and sit there mute for the entire trial, but I can’t imagine a Jury would be all that convinced by it, if the prosecution provided even the most basic set of evidence that seems to be lying around all over the place.
EAD for Airbus A220 due to autopilot inadvertent engagement during takeoff
Definitely not, because Apple gives users the ability to type search in on an iPhone or iPad instead of using the apple TV remote. They also let you do voice-to-text, which is nice.
I don't think that's a particularly representative example. Zoning is determined locally in the U.S., and taking the most extreme locality doesn't really shed light on what's going on in the country as a whole, and isn't a useful avenue to approach this problem. Try instead to work with averages and representative localities. The U.S., like any area, has urban, suburban, and rural areas, with a continuous gradient in between. No point in discussing rural or near-rural areas when complaining about zoning, since the real issue is that people in urban areas need access to jobs. People living on the horse farms or rural ranches are not the problem here, and liberalizing zoning in Asheville isn't going to make housing more affordable in Austin or San Francisco, which is where the pain of restrictive zoning is felt.
A standard practice to use... potentially AI modified surveillance photography? Where will they get these photos from exactly in this future scenario? Activists and journalists when these photo apps become widespread (unbeknownst to the government)?

It's an interesting hypothetical for sure but it's stretch to call it a glaring flaw. Not really any worse than people being misidentified in normal photos.
I think it was the CEO of American Airlines, which owned the Sabre computer reservation system at the time, that if he had to choose between keeping the airline or the CRS, he'd go for the latter. In any event. Sabre was spun out in 2000.
> This only makes sense if you filmed actors and wanted to cover that glaring mistake in your propaganda, because you lack the necessary talent to actually render them with AI.

Can you elaborate what you mean by this? I don't understand how you're concluding that this only makes sense if it's to cover up propaganda. Using actors as surrogates to protect people is a common practice, and this is a logical step forward (albeit one I disagree with).
Wow. That’s pretty fast!
Tesla (to their credit!) took advantage of an unserved opportunity, including heavy government subsidization, to build electric cars. And they fucking did it.

However, I strongly doubt they will succeed going forward. They are in the midst of a wave of competition from Porsche, Mercedes, GM, Ford, VW, Kia, etc; across all segments of the market. They have failed to deliver on self-driving, and have a 0% chance of success moving forward (as admitted by pulling their lidar sensors out). They still aren't particularly good at fit/finish/quality of their cars.

And finally, Tesla (imo) desperately needs a ceo who thinks about little more than threading the needle on the narrow success path moving forward. Instead, they have someone busy breaking Twitter.

So, is Tesla objectively successful? I'd say no, because I don't think it's clear they will be a live company in 10 years. I think a huge amount of their success came from being the only company that sold a non-shitty electric car, and now that competitive umbrella is gone, they're likely to fail.
I have seen this too, also on bing. Not just government though, sometimes it manages to find a local house for sale instead.
The duty cycle is going to be 25% at most
I've never used Pocket, and upon seeing it in the Firefox UI, immediately searched for how to hide it. I'm the wrong person to ask. :)

But if I were to embrace such features, I'd have a naive question: why do I need to unclutter an article to access them? If I'm perfectly happy reading a normally rendered page and see a phrase I want to annotate, I won't want to break my flow by uncluttering first. This emphasizes to me that these features feel like they belong in two separate extensions.
You may enjoy "inspector Tether". The "Fiat Currency --> Crypto Loans" bit was prescient, in light of knowledge that Tether's largest "customer", FTX, was a total fraud. Highly unlikely FTX gave Tether the $36 billion in USD that Tether claimed.

Actually, I'm far more likely to accept if I think I'll be fired tomorrow on a whim. Like, I can accept 3 months severance today -or- take a six-figure bonus today and then get 3 months severance tomorrow? That's the easiest money I will ever make.
This is really interesting. Thanks for writing this comment and sharing.

Async is good for lots of IO work and managing independent tasks with low coupling.

I am interested in task scheduling and asynchronous code I am interested in programming language development and parallelism and simultaneity without parallelism and cooperative and preemptive scheduling.

As an experiment inspired by Protothreads (a C library for implementing cooperative multitasking with a switch statement) I recently implemented async/await in Java as a giant switch statement and a while loop.

Providing that each coroutine only runs once, the amount of memory used shall not grow. The goal is to be stackless.

I began writing a programming language that looks similar to JavaScript but targets an imaginary interpreter that is multithreaded. I hope to think of how to represent async await so that the high level language can target the interpreter. I need to think of the code I need to codegen to implement async/await.

I played around with an C++ coroutines but someone told me that the approach I used is not C++20.

Code is at https://GitHub.com/samsquire/multiversion-concurrency-contro...

The reconciliation loop idea sounds interesting.
Well, I've been homeless and poor as well, and I've spent significant chunks of time down. I too have had the experience you describe, of losing everything owned.

Then, I got a job at a big tech company and got to see how the other half lived.

I had a very different experience than you describe, and I think that your definitions of poverty are still doing work for you -- perhaps different work than I suspected, at first, but you are still rationalizing the horror.

There are many degrees of poverty -- by minimizing all but the most abject cases, you're moving the goalposts.

I also strongly suspect you're still in your twenties, but that's another matter.
Your'e missing Phlogiston. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.
I don't really understand the perspective your are saying. The UK was basically the ONLY country that helped Ukraine straight away when the war started, it was the UK that dragged the US along, and Germany is still dragging its feet on arms supplies. And I'm not saying that as someone who thinks Ukraine should be supported at all costs, but what the UK did was admirable.

If you mean Brexit, yes, there is some blame here, but it's one of the MANY issues the UK has been kicking down the road.

The UK has almost no manufacturing, its all financial services and service industries. There is less and less local energy production, and the cost is way more than the EU. Yet all attempts at starting fracking is failing.

On top of that 2008 then covid bought massive money printing.

At some point, you just can't fight physics. I'm sorry. There is so much wrong with the UK economy now it's insane. You can't print money to make cheap energy, while interest rates rise on 100%+ debt, while everyone moves into US dollars for the safe haven. Something has to give.

The UK either makes some tough choices now, on par with what Thatcher did, which will be extremely painful, or this slow decline will continue.
Why not two committees and a head of state?
I think a DSL is a more often a type of “user interface” for a large and powerful underlying software system, than a way of writing native code for particular specializations. Operating systems offer many DSLs as a way for programmers to interact with them: Linux has bash and eBPF, Windows has VBScript and Powershell, etc.

If something were to offer a DSL for writing operating systems with, I think it would be either an embedded platform or a hypervisor.
$100k financially makes little sense for any professional because it completely ignores the risk attached - I suspect you are between 1 and 2 orders out (although you are very unclear how much time you are looking at spending).

I suspect it is easier to think of it in time invested and returned: if you invest a year of time at a 10x risk, you need to get 10 years of early retirement to cover that risk. That is easier to back-calculate how much you need to bank to reward your risk - 10 years of after tax income is a huge figure for most people (far far more than your $100k).

VCs target 30-times return for each individual investment to cover their risk, and they spread their risks over multiple investments. You usually have only one concentrated investment, so a sensible target profit for yourself alone could easily be $10 million if you have high earnings, and the revenue target is probably much much higher than that (depending on profit margin, and dilution, etcetera).

There are a few mitigations that could lower the multiplier. I regarded starting a business as university-of-practicality, so I also valued learning. I had also said no to previous valuable opportunities in my past, so I knew the regret and opportunity cost of saying no. If you can do something on the side and slowly ramp up the proof-of-profitability, you can dramatically reduce risk and so far lower profitability is needed (but beware of the slow ugly death at one_second_per_second of time wasted on a failing business). Many people value autonomy highly (although beware that it is common to make clients your boss, and end up with a lack of autonomy in your own business).

Background: I founded a business over a decade ago that has let me semi-retire, however in hindsight I am still unsure it was worthwhile, because there are other serious costs and risks beyond my time investment.
No need to be snarky, this shit really works.
Yeah that was my thought too when skimming over it ... A lot of it is just whole plant-based foods, and 90% of people will probably get all the benefit from just that, leaving aside all the supplements.

The one thing I think is good is the variety of ingredients/produce, and that can be fairly expensive (but probably not as expensive as what they're charging). You can do it cheaply if you live near a market, and have multiple people with a similar diet
In Australia a lot of their delivery is Uber style drivers and is usually faster than other options.
It may be economically efficient, but it's materially inefficient. You're increasing the amount of materials and labour required in order to reduce the utility of manufactured products. This indicates an error in the economic system.
>It does not offer anything special that could justify its existence.

I am sure there are ideas they're trying out in there.

Doing so in a known framework (unix-like system) means they're not trying too many things at once, which produces better research.

Still, I wish they'd went the microkernel multiserver route like Managarm.
Interesting. Though I'd argue that if the valve gets dirt on it, then eventually, when you unscrew it, some of that dirt will get deeper (particularly if you're completely flat and there's no pressure to push it out), and perhaps stop if from sealing perfectly. But I try to keep gear running for a very long time; this approach might be from cyclist who replace things a lot more often?

And yes, wheel reflectors are utterly useless.
Yeah, I agree. I'm not against making it a built-in, but it seems to cater to a tiny usecase that I don't have. Maybe it's more people than I know, though.
Same to you! Thanks for all the resources you've supplied over the years, it's been great reading and research for my hobby projects :)
Back in my youth I did door-to-door sales in the North-West of England. Pay wasn't great, but in terms of pure pleasure it was the best job I ever did.

That part of the country is known for friendliness, and I shared their accent, and they were simpler times, all of which combined to make the days a joy despite the random weather. Every day I'd have interesting conversations on the door, and on many days I'd get invited in for a cup of tea and more chat. Not just with lonely elderly people either.

As a way to get over social awkwardness, build self-confidence, and even just learn how to respect and understand a variety of beliefs, opinions, and approaches, it was life-changing.

I could never do it now; to earn anywhere near enough to replace my tech wage I'd probably have to compromise on some of my personal red lines. But not a moment is regretted.
85% vs 125%? What are you on about? That's a long way from half. And the USD is the reserve currency of the world, the moment interest rates started to rise everyone moved into USD.

The US is also energy almost independent. The UK has increasing energy prices, and refuses to do anything about it.
It's illegal abroad as well. His two children were also killed in separate drone strikes, the younger one was only 8 years old and a US citizen as well. Where's the legality here, come on! I'm not an expert in American law but doubt you'll find justification for that in any legal texts.

The thing is: What could ordinary citizens do about it? The government isn't going to investigate itself, especially not a popular president that wasn't even under much pressure to do so. He brought so much change, just not the good kind: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d1/Graph_of...

If you give the police certain powers, they're guaranteed to be abused at some point. Individual officers can be held accountable but what if the robot malfunctions? Killer bots are more than a slippery slope, they're a giant pandora's crate that should never be opened.

I had the same thought some time ago and went looking for alternatives to the 5P5C connector. It turns out they exist and are used in industrial applications, like the "ix Industrial" [1], precisely because how fragile the standard connector is. Unfortunately there's no standard and the designs are proprietary.

I was brought up primarily by a single parent on state benefits and her mother. At times, with both my parents unemployed and one of them not around much, I recall getting things like a pen for Christmas -- to be used at school in a few weeks time -- and being such a regular at the library that all the staff knew me by name. The first birthday party I had was when I was 21, on a relatively generous scholarship at Oxford. Meeting other students made me painting aware that many of their private schools had better facilities than the county where I grew up, and their parents didn't have long and painful arguments about shopping. This article, although American, really resonated more than I thought it would initially -- my mum was on benefits and we just made it through, a situation I think is rather rare in the states.

I'm now much older, and my partner's family are lovely but, to my mind, rich. She spends so much money on frivolities that I continually have to bite my tongue and accept this is normal. Going shopping is a totally different experience with any of them. I love them all dearly and give my mother money per month to live on, but this feeling that I shouldn't spend money on myself, should be sure to always maximize value per unit in the strictest possible sense (including longevity) and repair rather than replace things lives on. I often wear clothes until they break, and then continue to wear them until they become literally unusable. My partner has two double wardrobes filled with clothes and many shoes and handbags.

It's a very different path through the world.
> This is a graphic novel, in other words graphic depictions of sexuality/sex.

Here's a sample page from Amazon's preview: https://i.imgur.com/dFHyQ4d.png

I don't think even at the height of puberty could I have managed to masturbate to that, even assuming it actually contained drawings meant to arouse. The word graphic doesn't always imply sexually explicit. In "graphic novel" it merely means "drawn".

> This kind of material is damaging to children

Citation needed. The sight of naked humans being damaging to children may just be an invention by America's Bible Belt. In other words damaged adults projecting and being made uncomfortable themselves by proxy, not realizing their children are not yet damaged the same way they are.

Making the human body taboo is how you raise another generation who apparently gets uncontrollably aroused by the mere sight of some skin and thus is made uncomfortable by it. I believe intellectually everyone knows this isn't the natural state of things, but rather something instilled by culture and upbringing?

Others, both within and without the US, seem to be doing fine raising their children sans this thinking. One may even argue other approaches yield more competent adults.
> One of the things that suck most about being poor is that you need to have money in order to save money.

> This is true if you are free to choose to buy a new shirt now or save a bit and buy it later. But if you are running out of shirts now, you don't have that choice.

Do you have any better example? Shirts can be bought used. I do not consider myself as being in poverty but often I use to buy something used, especially if I know how to fix what is broken.
He didn't say overnight. Who said that?

And Sunak just cancelled all fracking that Truss wanted to start. So the UK has basically decided to NOT have any form of cheap energy.

You reap what you sow.
HN: one of the last remaining Great Good Places of the Internet, a lone tavern in an iconic gateway town to the now not-so-wild west.

Beyond the western borders of this little town, the tech gold rush has both expanded to epic proportions, affecting all the economies in the world, and also gone through enough booms and busts that the phrase "gold rush" seems somehow off.

As more and more young'uns join and jaded veterans return to throng the tavern alike, it often seems to be on the brink of either exploding with the largest gun fight in history, or jumping the shark.

And yet, against all odds, it retains its original magnetism - drawing throngs that grow in number and diversity while seers like https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=patio11 and https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=tptacek continue to return - dispensing worldly wisdom worth its weight in gold from corner tables.

The secret is the man at the corner of the bar @dang, always around with a friendly smile and a towel on his shoulder. The only sheriff in the west who still doubles as the friendly bartender: always polite, always willing to break up a fight with kind words and clean up messes himself.

Yes a cold-hard look from him is all it takes to get most outlaws to back down, yes, his Colt-45 "moderator" edition is feared by all men, but the real secret to his success: his earnest passion (some call it an obsession) for the seemingly sisyphean task of sustaining good conflict - letting it simmer but keeping it all times below the boiling point based on "the code":

"Conflict is essential to human life, whether between different aspects of oneself, between oneself and the environment, between different individuals or between different groups. It follows that the aim of healthy living is not the direct elimination of conflict, which is possible only by forcible suppression of one or other of its antagonistic components, but the toleration of it—the capacity to bear the tensions of doubt and of unsatisfied need and the willingness to hold judgement in suspense until finer and finer solutions can be discovered which integrate more and more the claims of both sides. It is the psychologist's job to make possible the acceptance of such an idea so that the richness of the varieties of experience, whether within the unit of the single personality or in the wider unit of the group, can come to expression."

May the last great tavern in the West and it's friendly bartender-sheriff live long and prosper.
No country especially the ones with decelerating economies should compare themselves with USA. The rules apply to US differently. I m not going to list them, Brits should realize this is not 1921.
Note that what you said does not contradict what the person you replied to said.
Moreover, low GDP growth and high interest rates will cause the UK to catch right up :)

The interesting thing here is that official SNP policy is to try and join the EU if they get independence, which is a form of uniting with other countries (or more accurately, uniting with a single semi-country).

It seems however very unlikely that in the event of independence the SNP would grant the Scottish people a referendum on joining the EU.

Years back, I’d met a couple that did team driving (they could go 20 hours a day). They were raking it in. $300-400K/yr as owner-operators. Sounded sweet.

I don’t watch older guys lately, lots of grousing. Gas prices, inflation, Mexicans, Biden, etc. Those that have a lot of time and long-term relationships with brokers have it good, others who seem like asses probably explains why they’re always whining.

younger guys who I watched under the assumption “I lose job, what would it be like”:

I think if you’re young, can get ratings and work for non-sociopath corps you can make a decent salary now. But a lot of people who try to be owner operators get over their heads very quickly, trucks are super expensive now, don’t know how to work on their truck, and lose their shirts (or drive for $2/mile and ruin it for everyone else).

I think it’s like any industry, shippers of old were loyal and now everything is commoditized. It’s a giant traveling salesman problem where it just seems like it shouldn’t be so hard, but shippers/brokers are failing/retiring and n00bs take over and efficiency is out the window.
Markets price in updated expectations immediately. Maybe they don’t price it right but they do price it.
Yes, but the US has the world's effective (for the moment anyway) reserve currency: the UK's not in that position.
