> It just doesn't work.

Raises hand: uh, I think harshly punishing crimes works just fine. Things were pretty safe while I was growing up, in fact it was even getting safer every year. It really wasn't until we actually did "try something different" with these DAs who don't believe in prosecution and the defund movements that crime actually started to go up again.
You literally created an account just to respond to my questions?

Anyways. The article you linked to is titled “Alameda Allegedly Traded These 18 Tokens on Insider Info Through FTX”. The operative word being “allegedly”. Also this is just another thread and has nothing to do with any of the previously mentioned co-conspirators.
Sorry, was this a reply? Did you have something to say?
If anything the psychological reactance to moderation is a disorder. Specifically it would be categorized as an externalizing disorder in the likes of ODD, CD, and ASP.
No isn't. It's to impose sanctions on those who steal things. They have zero involvement in making in harder to do so. Neither laws nor police make it more difficult to steal things, they merely raise the cost of doing so, and as long as that cost is less than the benefit derived from stealing things, thievery will be there to do its thing.
OK so we have something like this: Stand Your Ground laws. A bunch of states passed then recently and saw a large increase in shooting deaths that legally weren't proven to be either self-defense or murder, becuause the witness is dead. Now what?
#comments > #upvotes triggers the flamewar logic and downranks a thread.
Okay, yeah no. If you think everyone is so well off they don't benefit from stealing something as stupid as deodorant, you've been living an incredibly sheltered life and it's time to actually look into how much poverty there really is.

There are maybe a handful of countries with their shit together enough for this kind of thing to not happen anymore. The overwhelmingly vast majority of countries on the planet are not those.

We had a nice rain overnight, and for much of the day today. It's misty and foggy out now. It has been much-needed--been a very dry year.

I shared a meal this evening with some folks I admire, we spoke about topics I find interesting, and there was much laughter and no drama. Very thankful for this.

I have everything I need to survive and thrive right now.
So point out the clients that speak ActivityPub?

There is a lot of software that speaks the ActivityPub server-server protocol, but most client apps use the Mastodon client API or custom protocols, not ActivityPub client-server.

In a brief recall such as the parent post, certain details would seem either superfluous or meaningful if they don't appear to relate to the topic.

If you mentioned that the guy at the counter of the CVS was wearing a baseball cap, we would wonder why that was a significant detail, or maybe "what team was on the cap".

Saying someone had a hijab is clearly leading with some meaning, but the post didn't go into that detail. I can only guess that it implied something related to Muslims; but I don't even know. They didn't expand on that. So we are left to wonder WHY they mentioned it.
Selling stolen goods isn't a legitimate business activity.

Their parties should kick them out and replace them with more principled people.
I have no idea how a prosecutor can take down these organized rings. The entire method prosecutors use for say exotic drugs, guns, etc: "Ok we have you for 5 years here, who do you work for, make these phone calls, we can get your sentence down to parole". This allows prosecutors to work their way up. But if a prosecutor is sitting in front of a low level shop lifter - who gets out that day - i don't see any prosecutor leverage.
It's not the whole issue, but it's the biggest contributor imo. Even in small American suburbs people still don't know anyone because they never walk anywhere and have no local businesses / recreation spots. They all immediately get in the car and drive somewhere else, cut off from the rest of the world.
> Usenet readers to offer both features could have been developed. And running private leaf nodes (as a number of people did) would have been possible. Instead people moved to other platforms and reinvented many wheels, not always in a better version.

But that is a huge drawback of non centralized systems. Multiple implementations are great, until you want to develop a new feature, and then it never happens (or happens very slowly). It takes hard work to get multiple, sometimes even competing people and groups, to have a same vision or goal, and sometimes it is impossible.

And when you do end up updating, there are still people that will complain about it, forever. On this very forum, we often see people complanining that the web is not just static hypertext documents.

Interesting site. How do you decide on the result of a bet? Where do you get the truth? What if the bet is described ambiguously? Or worse yet, something like "This prediction will be false".
Basically, what we mean by sandboxed is that the application would not be able to do anything harmful to your system unless explicitly allowed (similar ethos as Deno, compared to NPM).

Let me explain a bit more how:

* stdio / file io: thanks to Wasmer VFS and the WASI mapped dirs, the application will only able to access to the directories explicitly defined by the user when running a program. Any file/dir access outside of the allowed directories will throw an error (both by design of WASI and by our implementation of it). Note: by default stdout/stderr will be piped but that can also be easily customized.

* Environment variables: no environment variables can be accessed unless explicitly specified to our CLI (or SDKs)

* Time: we consider time access (get) to be harmless (WASI don't allow setting the platform/OS time, so we don't have to worry about that)

> What are "secure systemcalls"? What does this mean on the technical level?

It means system calls that we consider harmless to execute. For example, getting the current time (unix timestamp) is considered harmless by our WASI implementation (it should be easy to even shield that, if needed), but accessing a file could be harmful (that's why we ask for permission first).

Of course, no software is free from bugs that could jailbreak the sandbox, specially after Spectre and Meltdown.
So having something to be "fully sandboxed" is an infinite game.

But our aim is there, nonetheless :)

You are filling in so many details that are not there. But whether that is correct or not is not the point.

The point is, why mention it? Should we be surprised, or should we be impressed that an immigrant Muslim family was involved? I just don't know what the OP wants me to feel. It's touchy, but it is ambiguous.

Nationalism was the main reason why Brexit happened. The way it was sold to the people was by being more independent so the UK could limit immigration (well that didn't happen, and they could have actually done this before but chose not to) and so they didn't need to send money to the EU to build roads in foreign places the average UK pensioner would never dream of going (it's gone down from a net of around £8B to £1B).

"Intel's upcoming Intel's 4th Generation Xeon Scalable Sapphire Rapids processors are equipped with various special-purpose accelerators and security technologies that all customers do not need at all times. To offer such end-users additional flexibility regarding investments, Intel will deliver them to buy its CPUs with those capabilities disabled but turn them on if they are needed at some point. The Software Defined Silicon (SDSi) technology will also allow Intel to sell fewer CPU models and then enable its clients or partners to activate certain features if needed (to use them on-prem or offer them as a service)."

Apparently Intel believes that subscription-driven microprocessors will be a great revenue stream.

It's not your processor if they control the firmware:

I actually wrote another comment in this thread about Singapore [1]. The subway there was particularly interesting to me. While the New York media has used subway deaths to drum up support for police, Singapore has entirely solved the root problem in a non-carceral way by investing in infrastructure.

Plenty of other countries have done the same, actually. The knee-jerk response of adding more cops actually makes society worse for all of us.

That assumes that there was a pretense that the people and identies are real. Documentaries and exposés commonly use methods to protect their subject's identities, including using actors and distorting the face/voice.

Although I generally agree there's little positive effect from harshly punishing very petty thieves, saying "address the underlying issue" is a major cop-out basically indicating you have no interest in fixing anything.

What do you think the "underlying issue" is? Drug abuse? Lack of education? Paucity of low-skill jobs? Not enough affordable housing? Discrimination? Lack of opportunities for ex-prisoners? Inflation? Point is, there are plenty of reasons, not just one, that could lead a person to steal a few items from CVS, and they are far too numerous and widespread to believe you'll be able to do anything meaningful to "address" them.
Its the part that you omitted from your summary that makes the statement nontrivial—the idea that the metric theory (poetically, the warping of space) is only valid as a low energy effective description, and the general case does not have a classical interpretation even in a limit.

To put it another way: the quantum theories that are best understood are the ones that are similar to a classical field theory, but that’s not the case here.
We almost never hit technical limits in the renderer, streaming systems, etc. Instead, we found that pushing gameplay systems beyond the prototype stage would require more and more effort, as we'd encounter deep engine bugs, or the tooling simply did not cater to our use case.

We ended up implementing more and more tooling outside the engine, and there comes a point where UE4 became a IO/Rendering system. We'd've been happier if the engine were modular in design from the get-go.

This has nothing to do with the hijab. This is a matter of mixing perspectives.

All of the descriptions of the situation are rather mundane and bland. Only two extra details stand out: "Upper East Side of Manhattan (think pooches inside Gucci bags)" and "in a Hijab and was studying medicine and was helping her parents who immigrated from Turkey".

A significant percentage of "regular" stores in big cities are owned or at least managed and operated by immigrants from very different backgrounds.

These details being present in the brief story seem to have some significance, so my question was, "Why is this significant?"

This is not a judgement on the people running the store or of people in hijabs. It's a question for the poster about why those details were significant.

Maybe it was just the ramblings of an old person (which I can say as I'm an old person). But it is still fair to ask for clarification.

Thieves are the problem, not Amazon FBA. Yes, there are stolen goods there, but the vast majority of sellers are legitimate businesses who buy wholesale and sell things like deodorant/graphics cards/phone cases/canned soup.
Why not both instead of relying on one? Fix the broken economy, and punish people. That should reduce crime, lower the prison population, while still punishing those who actually deserve it.

Unfortunately economy is boring and the media/congress would rather talk about stupid side issues that effect no one.
That’s not the same claim at all - those people can and are being prosecuted: bail wouldn’t matter if they weren’t! Similarly, changing the threshold for a felony theft charge doesn’t prevent anyone from being prosecuted.
TIL. Thanks for the correction.
This is one of those statements that feels good when no specifics are on the table, but if it was ever implemented we’d be seeing countless HN stories complaining about how Amazon is requiring sellers to provide too much documentation or closing their accounts for suspected dealing in stolen goods or something.

Heavy handed regulation always sounds better in hypothetical perfect knowledge scenarios, but kind of sucks for everyone in the real world.

Getting a low-level criminal or junkie off the street, alive, is worth a lot. You can then offer them a chance to turn their sentence into rehab or something if they don't need jail.

And there's no reason we can't go for the higher ups too, there's (jail)time for everyone!
After 15 years of existence Twitter was 2B dollars in the black. That's more than 100M$ for every year that Twitter has existed.

The business is now in the red in the excess of 10B dollars because Elon put a 13B dollar loan on the company's books.

The company was running fine even after the market crash until Elon took over. It's in the red now, not because of bloated employees- but because of Elon Musk.
They represented themselves as a crypto exchange where you traded cryptos with other users. In actuality they took all the cryptos away and lost them. So all of the "trades" happening for at the least many months were not real trades, as there were no actual assets trading hands.

That's a bucket shop, a version of financial fraud. This....is not that complicated.

So, the question then is: do you trust a bucket shop to have been recklessly dishonest about whether the trades happening were actual trades, but scrupulously honest about sending $36 billion real dollars to Tether?
