Ultimately none of these things produce anything of value and all they do is trade money in circle. Ultimately the money has to leave system. Right now there is less money in the system than it did before. I guess soon enough we will find many people cannot leave the system. This is the reason why Binance CZ announced the 1 billion crypto recovery fund to stop spreading contagion.
The upside is establishing a counter-narrative in the media. The hope is to inoculate the general public with the story of your defense, so that people who have been exposed to your defense theory are more likely to be on your jury. I'm not vouching for the strategy, but it's far from (legal) suicide.
So I'm impressed people are taking you seriously.

Engineering is hard. All of it. It's all a lot of work and a lot of complexity.

Yes, this is a great idea. This would have been built a long time ago, however zoning doesn't allow for it in the vast majority of cities in the US.

California is making a tiny bit of progress by pushing for ADU's, but for the most part, it's just not allowed.
GIMP is missing such basic, basic features and things, that I genuinely wonder what's going on with the development or how anyone uses it for anything other than basic editing. It's nice that it's free and open though I guess.
Not in the article. Maybe he’s telling the truth this time but who knows.

To me the bigger story is that he was able to give a million dollars in influence money at all, although I guess that shouldn’t be surprising.
"just a cached query" isn't like it's just a hash lookup. You're still doing IO, network protocol decoding, multithreaded synchronization, etc etc. It's certainly not a CPU bound program.
My sense is that Matt Levine writes about Sam Bankman-Fried with an unusual amount of empathy considering that he is a professional journalist.

> The solution which apparently is not implemented in Rust (or LLVM, idk) is to emit code like the following:

The solution to what? You appear to be suggesting that compilers should insert bounds checks even when the programmer doesn't ask for them, which, sure, I'm down for that, but the whole point of this discussion is that the bounds checking that currently gets done has a negligible cost in practice.
My Brother laser printer has been reporting low toner for months (years?) now. Does it get to a point where it says toner is out and stops printing? For now, I just keep printing, and it's working just fine.
"Other services like Dropbox are also fine if you have a sufficiently high entropy password"

That's why you add that binary key file to the mix that you liberally distribute to all your devices. But that you carefully keep far off your sync platform. The danger of a weak password is when a device falls into the wrong hands, a compromised sync platform is much less of a concern (if the file is in the mix).
There are stories of him funneling money to both sides now. All I know for sure is someone is not telling the truth.

I see it different.

These is a significant difference between a traditional objective checkbox based "education", and a more well-rounded, contemporary, forward-thinking "training".

The former has deep roots going futher back. The latter is to say, we know enough not to de-root from the past and look forward.

The future at this point is not in the past. We can't keep playing to a paradigm that's about the past.

>> She has written pieces for the Boston Review, a quarterly political and literary magazine, arguing that attributing "personal blame" in times of crisis had "ruined criminal justice and economic policy," suggesting it was "time to move past blame."

>> "The fact that we have gotten so little in return for our blame mongering at least opens up the possibility that people would be receptive to a new approach," she wrote in 2013.

If they're going to stick in trading then that doesn't matter because non-competes are standard in the industry, so everyone will understand. Some take it as a way to get some paid downtime. A friend of mine, who joined my firm, went around Europe on his 4-month non-compete. Others do something like that, if it is too long then they just work in tech.

Some firms like Jane Street and Old Mission have no non-competes.
Isn't the fact that Google Play charges 30% even when Android allows 3rd party app stores an indication that the 30% fee is not caused by a lack of competition in app stores?
Monsters aren't born, they are created.
Is the outward exterior of earnestness and sincerity (I have to admit I’m almost falling for it) a facade? It seems like he actually believes everything he is saying and there is an absence of malice in how he projects in the interview. He’s either a psychopath who is faking (very well) this earnest persona, or he actually is fully deluded by his own fantasy creation/dollhouse that is FTX.
Anytime I read a story by big publications about a topic I’m an expert in, I recalibrate my expectations around accuracy and effectiveness in coverage of big publications. It’s astonishing how much nuance is lost in translation - both from the subject matter to the journalist, and again from the journalist’s reporting to the public.

This is not a bald criticism or renunciation of journalism from big publications - I simply mean to provide some understanding and clarity around how journalism so often misses the mark. Even though it misses the mark, journalistic coverage is incredibly valuable and a far better approach than darkness. (People might think of journalism as turning the lights on - more accurately journalism is like shining a flashlight into a dark place.)

In this case, it is very odd that much of the coverage has not been centered on fraud. I genuinely don’t understand why.
> I thought the benefit of double-entry was that it make fraud and inconsistencies easier to catch, not detection of profit per se

One of the key principles of double entry accounting is denominating profit and loss in a fungible currency, rather than just recording the number of goats you own or whatever. Double entry is actually the codification of several different best practices, it’s more than just having two sides of the ledger. But even with just the fraud part, you are very limited on the number of employees you can have if you don’t have any way to know if they’re stealing from you. That’s why even though e.g. Ancient Rome had thousands of fast food restaurants, they didn’t have franchises like McDonalds.

Both your links go to the same Proton article and the heart of it seems to be this:

> Apple monitors your every move in the App Store and its News and Stocks apps and then uses that data to sell ads targeting you in those same apps. To meet its growth forecasts, experts expect Apple to start selling ads in its Maps, Podcast, and Books apps, meaning it could replicate this model across more of its services. Much more of your activity could be monitored in the future.

Tracking every click in the App Store/News/Stocks is not great but it is in NO WAY similar to tracking every website I view and reading every email I send.
Everything, subjectively. Logic Pro is the epitome of Apple leaning fully into 'Form as an excuse for function' and it's one of the most hilariously useless pieces of paid software ever devised. Apple refuses to give it Pro Tools functionality because it's not a 'real DAW' and hobbles multiple features to Garageband-level functionality.

I'd prefer to keep my ugly-but-capable GIMP on every platform rather than having a single half-decent MacOS version that bends over backwards to foreign HID.
But what about updates? I assume they need to be updated once in a while?
Pigments can affect the properties and behavior of resins, if you're working with a sloppy fab I could see that causing issues (even if only not accounting for different curing times).

For actual production design like the OOP is talking about, you would likely go with whichever option is cheapest overall (which in my experience has universally been the standard green).
Well, that's a little bit different from an ad, but I take your point.

That doesn't happen to me when I use the cheap earbud things that Apple sells (I use a Subsonic client app for music); do you have any idea what triggers it?
This isn't disclosure
The same PWAs which Apple restricts on iOS because they know it would cut into their App Store cashflow? If it were an equal market, I'd agree with you, but the OS makers also make and prioritize their own application stores too, so of course they'd want to cut down other competitive avenues.
Was there some breakthrough in this field because at that stage no amount of money will save you.

> ARS is a pretty pedestrian source. Are you discounting it because of the site name over the content?

The Ars article just links to the Project Zero blog post (a very recent one).

> And your second source is Google, so take that with a grain of salt.

The Project Zero blog post I linked to is them reviewing their past submissions, and they provide a link to that, and review the data all you want. It's up to you to consider whether you think the researchers are hiding Google exploits, using this data, or other data, or other people's analysis, or just your own intuition.

> Not only that, but it backs up my claim. They even admit in the article that IOS gets 7 times more bugs than Android because Google applies the Android methodology to IOS arbitrarily even though the two update philosophies aren't really compatible.

What does that have to do with your claim that they "squirrel away zero days on their own products for the better part of a year or more and then quietly publish blog posts without actually filing for a CVE." ?

Also, you're taking their admission along with the data that the numbers paint iOS worse than what the reality is as evidence of them being heavy handed against iOS? That's an interesting interpretation.
Accusing people of participating in a pump-and-dump scheme is the same as asking people to do due dilligence? I don't know, that's sounds a lot like emotional internet outrage. That's the only thing I'm critiquing here.

FUD doesn't help us stop this in the future. Actually accusing them of the things they did is how you get them to fix that mistake in the future. Accusing them of being overt scammers, before we have any actual evidence of that, is how you get completely ignored as being hysterical.
As mentioned throughout this thread, Syncthing can seamlessly sync between Android phones and Windows/Linux hosts. There are apps for iOS as well, but they can be a bit more finicky due to Apple's app sandbox implementation.
Thank you for explanation these mechanisms! I was very confused by his characterization of this.

Robert Caro's The Path To Power.

It's the first volume of a set of biographies of Lyndon B. Johnson, but it's so much more an exploration of how power works and shapes. Caro is obsessed with power (thus the other classic: Caro's The Power Broker). Learning how Johnson learned how to wield power made me see the impact of power in my daily work and interactions, and hopefully, taught me how to predict how 'upstairs' reacts. It's all about power.
Novel 3D printing method to fabricate complex metal-plastic composite structures
n recent years, research interest in the 3D printing of metal patterns on plastic parts has grown exponentially, due to its high potential in the manufacturing of next-generation electronics. But fabricating such complex parts through conventional means is not easy. Now, researchers have developed a new 3D printing process for the fabrication of 3D metal-plastic composite structures with complex shapes.
Not exactly, because the JavaScript code can change and be delivered at ANY time. No code signature verification is involved.

An offline password manager is updated a few times a year, and will go through OS repository distribution, with verification of the signature for changes. Or you can download the software from the source website and check the signature.
The rules they do have are already inconsistently applied. And the rules they do have don't prevent a whole lot. Most of them are about protecting their moat, keeping people and governments from being offended and them safe from lawsuits. So what's the point?

Yeah it’s amazing how much potential that company had and then blew it with a series of questionable business decisions. They had a ton of really quality talent too but much of it has moved on the last few years.

Pretty much everything MongoDB did right, Elastic did the opposite and failed. Instead of being the best place to run Elasticsearch, one of the most popular open source projects ever, they blew all that brand equity on a series of mediocre solutions that were outcompeted.

Glad I moved away from LastPass. They've had way too many breaches[1].

I'm not sure how anyone can justify using them anymore -- it just seems like a huge risk for something so important.

Why do you assume Apple doesn't also track every website and email you read (especially if you use the default Apple-made apps)? After all, they make the OS, they can track whatever they want.
I’ll second the 1Password recommendations, it’s fantastic software that is becoming better and better. If you’re comfortable with cloud syncing, I can’t imagine a better option than 1Password.

A top 1Password tip is that the business plans include free family plans for every member, so if you can get your employer to use 1Password then you’ll be able to get your personal account for free (which would include your family, too). A very underrated deal!

I recently logged back into my old LastPass account after 5 years and it was fascinating just how bad it is compared to 1Password.
> Any solution I've heard of ranges from dystopian to hellish.

This is the part that few people seem to want to acknowledge: top-down "solutions" to problems like this end up being worse than the problem they purport to "solve".
If you let everyone in all at once then the place becomes exactly where they are fleeing from then there is no point in moving. Trying it would be the end of society. We hasn't tried killing every third baby but it is probably not a good idea regardless.

When women couldn't vote most men couldn't either. Just landholders. Slavery was an improvement on killing entire populations and authoritarian monarchy were better than savages like Genghis Khan. Whatever trouble you have with recent history go back.. things were worse.

What would happen if Canada decided to do this. Couldn't China send in 15 million people who vote to join Canada.

Huge red flags.
Enpass may be worth a look.

It doesn't do cloud syncing itself, but it lets you pick from a number of different providers (DropBox, iCloud, OneDrive, plus a few others) which you probably already use.

Geometer’s Sketchpad meets onenote. I think there’s some cool ideas there, but I’d guess there’s a few more iterations before we get a killer app like spreadsheets.
That seems even more odd to me.

You're saying that, because it is possible that some undefined company that Coindesk previously spoke positively about may be committing fraud, their coverage of an entirely different, unrelated company that lost billions under highly suspicious circumstances should be questioned? That can't be what you're saying, right?

Combination of all of them? After all, you say yourself, one of the most informed journalists on the space is doing an excellent job.

The mainstream definitely doesn't understand crypto. (Hell, SBF himself paid for TV ads telling them they didn't have to!) Madoff had easier precedences to compare to and validate for themselves vs trying to figure out if the various crypto-sphere tweets and blog posts "proving" fraud are actually proof and such.

The FTX story, if half the stuff I've seen linked on HN is too believe, also has a believability hurdle to the uninformed of being UNBELIEVABLY STUPID. "They did almost literally no accounting at all and transparently bought houses with company funds" yet they also raised crazy $$$ from so-called reputable investors? Surely that can't be true!!
