I can relate to the author. When I was ~28yo, I used to do similar things and experimenting socially. The best way to get to know guys is by doing shared activities - basketball, hikes, going to sauna, gym. But it only makes acquaintances. The vulnerability and honesty part can only be achieved 1-on-1 and some people don't like those talks. But it really makes true friends. It can cut through the polite-social-minimizing-risk-bullshit-talk like a knife. It's really hard to have very close friends and having at least one is a true blessing... I never had the fortune of meeting great female friends though. Even though I like talking to them and doing activities that involve many females (dancing salsa, bachata, kizomba).

Indeed. UK papers have had many stories of late about people sending their savings to scammers and then complaining their bank didn’t do enough to stop them, putting the bank on the hook for compensation because of the Quincecare duty of care.
Meh. Probably not, there are systemic risks from people losing all their money all at once. It's a good thing to incentivize catching and blocking transactions to scammers.
This whole thing seems rediculous. What next, someone going to accuse an abstract painter of not faithfuly representing reality?

People can do what they want with their money. In this case, they can move their money to one of the many banks who don't place restrictions on transactions.

Some banks have decided that the risk to having to support customers who engage in risky behaviour is too high. There are literally dozens of free banks in the UK, and it is incredibly easy to switch provider.

Official estimates says, depending on the source, that from 1.5% up to 5% of the world's GDP is tied to criminal activities.

The GDP is about 100 trillion.

Cryptos are a complete insignificant drop in the bucket. Even if 100% of cryptos were linked to crime, it's still be absolutely nothing compared to the actual criminal activities ongoing (like drug trafficking) and the percentage of the worldwide GDP they represent.
Wooldridge's Introductory Econometrics.

I don't do statistics in my day job, but having a solid foundation in the math and the theory and the proofs really had a profound impact on how I approach problem solving generally and root cause analysis specifically (just thinking about e.g. model specification and how you do it is a good exercise). It's still on my bookshelf and I'll pull it out and do a problem set from time to time just to stay sharp - even though, again, I don't do this for my job. Maybe, one day, I'll get a job with a baseball team or something. Understanding heteroskedasticity for example is one of those things where once you "get it", it really opens your eyes to a lot of things and you can't "unsee" it.

There are different types of companies which is exactly my point, both of you simply talk about "companies" but it's not that simple. There's a huge difference between a company where you have personal liability for everything the company does, and a limited liability company where you are controlling a "legal person" (the company).

The latter is, in my mind, definitely a privilege, because society has given you a "proxy" to more freely do business without having to worry about personal responsibility. If we're talking about a company where you have personal liability, it's no more a privilege than having a regular job is.

The differences between these two types of companies are very important, and leads to very different consequences.

The kiwifarms saga was a really interesting deep dive in to how fragile the internet is. In the end they were able to get back online but it takes a monumental amount of work, redundancies, and relationships with infrastructure companies.

Currently the main weak point is ISPs. It’s not impossible to find hosts who will ignore complaints, but ISPs in the middle of the route can start disrupting traffic and causing connectivity issues for people in certain areas.

In general though it does seem like there is a need for more infrastructure hosts who stick to enforcing the law and just ignore the twitter drama. Epik domains and Terrahost seem to be leading this category.

This may be true but some banks also do a lot to prevent it, such as a need to specifically request betting transactions to be allowed on your account.

I also think that people losing money from betting actually know what they are getting into though. The same can not be said for some other transactions.
Sorry, yes. I was recalling it from memory and mixed the two up. My apologies. I meant the London Declaration.

You are selectively and misleadingly quoting it, and confusing the concepts of contraband, which can be pursued on the high seas, with blockades which much be in a defined area and apply equally to neutral vessels.

This is stated very clearly in the opening articles, so I don't know how you missed it.

Chapter 1, Article 5 of the London Declaration: [0]

"A blockade must be applied impartially to the ships of all nations."

Chapter 1, Article 7: [1]

"In circumstances of distress, acknowledged by an officer of the blockading force, a neutral vessel may enter a place under blockade and subsequently leave it, provided that she has neither discharged nor shipped any cargo there."

Chapter 1, Article 14: [2]

"The liability of a neutral vessel to capture for breach of blockade is contingent on her knowledge, actual or presumptive, of the blockade."

Chapter 1, Article 15: [3]

"Failing proof to the contrary, knowledge of the blockade is presumed if the vessel left a neutral port subsequently to the notification of the blockade to the Power to which such port belongs, provided that such notification was made in sufficient time."

Chapter 1, Article 17: [4]

"Neutral vessels may not be captured for breach of blockade except within the area of operations of the warships detailed to render the blockade effective."

I could go on. The only limitation on blockades with regard to neutral states is that they may not apply to neutral ports or coasts. [5]

Contraband, by contrast, is something that may be seized on the high seas or in the territorial waters of the belligerents, outside of a specific blockade zone:

Chapter II, Article 37: [6]

"A vessel carrying goods liable to capture as absolute or conditional contraband may be captured on the high seas or in the territorial waters of the belligerents throughout the whole of her voyage, even if she is to touch at a port of call before reaching the hostile destination."

So, as I said, you've taken a complex and nuanced topic, completely misunderstood it, and are loudly proclaiming that your take on it which advances a specific political point is the correct one. That pushback you're getting isn't people unwilling to accept reality, it's people trying to help you understand what the circumstances really were.

I'm pretty sure they could simply add to their terms of service "no refunds for crypto purchases" and that'd be understandable, legal, and enforceable. Advertising this position prominently would make naive crypto "dabblers" second-guess themselves. So, in my opinion the problem you're referring to is not real.

You are in a great situation but you should be advised that things can change suddenly.

The company can take a wrong path and realizing it when it's to late, or on the contrary, it can be successful and it will attract external investors.

It's totally reasonable to hope that things stay the way they are until you retire and that would be really nice, but it's a very long time to bet on and you should have an emergency plan.

I advise you to sharpen your technical skills to stay employable if you have the time to. An interesting thing I do is to sometimes say "yes for a call" to recruiters on LinkedIn.

I choose the ones who seem nice and who are not just recruiters like tech leads and CTOs. I always start by saying that I'm not planning to switch and that it will probably not work out but that I'm ok for a call if they are ok with that.

And by doing this I have had really interesting exchanges with interesting people I know I'd like to interview with some day if needed (even if they switch companies). What is cool is that you can discuss with them without playing a game since you don't really care. You can say stupid things, you can be honest about what you want and what absolutely don't want, you can learn about their products, their career ... Hell you can even try to recruit them for your company :D

I'm not saying you'll make new friends but surely you'll meet nice people whose you can keep the mail address / phone somewhere.

And frankly, when they finish the call by "I understand that you are not actively searching a job but it was a great exchange, don't hesitate to call me back if you change your mind", that's really reassuring.
> The point I was making is, there are a lot of things in software that have no empirical data, so suggesting data driven decision making such as benchmarking because you don't trust Big-O or quantifying typescript's benefits instead of actually thinking about them is a cop out.

Sure, empirical knowledge isn't the only knowledge there is, but this is what your proposal sounds like:

"Hi $TECHLEAD, I think we should use TypeScript because it's good documentation, and because it helps me think about the system."

My response would be: "that sounds like changing our whole development toolchain, which would be a lot of work and carries a lot of risk; what if we wrote some documentation instead?"

In A Philosophy of Software Design, John Ousterhout writes that (paraphrasing) because code is always an imperfect representation of a model, comments are required in order to fill in the gap. This rings true to me, and I'm skeptical that any type system--much less a mainstream one--could overcome what seems like a fundamental limitation of information. I'm more receptive to documentation: comments, code docs, arch docs, etc.

---

> so suggesting data driven decision making such as benchmarking because you don't trust Big-O

The reason people benchmark is because Big-O notation is incomplete: it doesn't describe n. You can't describe the performance of a system with Big-O alone. Maybe I'm digging into a poor example here, but I don't think it really fits in our discussion.

> quantifying typescript's benefits instead of actually thinking about them is a cop out

This is a little dismissive; I'm actually a person who likes types and misses them when I don't have them. I often move between languages (or the same language typed and untyped like Python or JS/TS). Consequently I have some experience across lots of different verification/validation/constraint/testing systems. My general take is that what your type system doesn't provide your tests can compensate for, and since you (should) have tests anyway, a type system's benefits are diminished. Further, tests can check things type systems can't, and can be traced to requirements. For example:

int add(int a, int b) {
return a - b;
}

A type system can tell you a lot about this function: its domain/range, overflow/underflow risks, etc. What it can't do is tell you that the function has the wrong name.

Dynamic language communities have known about stuff like this for a long time. Indeed a lot of people are fans of TDD precisely for the reason you mention: tests are tools that help you think and reason about a code base. Types are not a silver bullet, there are always trade offs, software engineering is the agony of never really being sure but having to ship anyway.
I think they are pushing for their "ecotank" concept, which is (or should be) less scammy than more traditional inkjet cartridges.

By common sweet pea, I mean the green common edible one. Pisum sativum = Lathyrus sativus a species that is known to cause the disease if eaten in large amounts. Lathyrism is happening still today in a few parts of the planet like India, and is a serious irreversible condition, not much unlike paraplegia. This is not FUD, is a proven medical fact. Maybe the vegetable has a different name in English. Dunno, but we are talking about the same species all the time.

Lathyrus odoratus, is the Fragrant sweet pea, a small species with huge flowers that smell really well. It has tiny peas that are not really edible -in big amounts- (all are "edible" in very small quantities but it does not worth the risk) and of course, as most Lathyrus it causes lathyrism. is just that is a different case of Lathyrism, affecting bones instead nerves if I remember correctly.
