"Under AML regulations, anyone involved in vehicle sales can face significant fines and even criminal prosecution if they fail to detect money laundering. This includes law firms, banks as well as vehicle dealers—who can be any individual or business that trades vehicles or acts as an intermediary in their purchase or sale" [1]

> A bag of cash is an expensive liability.

Not as much of a liability as not selling the car. Unless, of course, the government is threatening to put you in jail, then yes, it's an expensive liability.

> Most restaurants and cafes don’t accept cash either although they are certainly free to do so.

Wait, what? They don't? I've never been to such a restaurant or cafe... and I've been to dozens of countries. I've been in a few restaurants/cafes that don't accept credit cards, that's for sure (mostly because of the fees I suppose). I wonder what's going on where you live.

> But it’s more convenient to just put up a sign saying “no cash” and you have magically cut your cash handling costs to zero and your robbery risk significantly.

Perhaps you should consider living in an area with a lower risk of robbery and/or more effective police?

What you are saying here is not a problem in most of the world. And it has nothing to do with the new law we are talking about.

With the news stories about overseas Chinese police stations, I wonder why they didn't go after him directly in Italy. Maybe they lacked his home address. But that could be obtained by a cyber infiltration of the Italian government or through old school espionage.

If you wanted pinyin output, you could use a library like pypinyin? (we use it, no complaints). I assumed GPT models performed best in English, you could machine translate the input/output. MT is pretty fantastic these days, although, you introduce fidelity issues, and an API adds to cost and latency.
Well it’s not that. Everything is seized because the money in your bank isn’t technically yours. This is the same wherever in the world. However, there exists a public fund that guarantees that, in case of a bankruptcy of your bank, you’ll be compensated by this fund up to 100k€.

So it’s technically impossible to lose anything if you don’t have more than 100k€ in a checking account. Which, even if you were rich, would be a rather stupid move because you don’t earn any interest on this. If your patrimony is superior to 100k€, you probably own financial assets rather than money in your checking accounts. And since you own your financial assets and your bank is only doing the management for you, they can’t be seized because they aren’t owned by the bank.

So it’s blatantly false to say that you can be seized of anything above 100k€. You’ve got to manage your money really badly to be bitten by this.
As a general rule convicting someone of fraud requires you somehow prove their state of mind. A person must set out to deliberately defraud someone for it to be considered fraud.

Of course proving a persons state of mind is extremely difficult. As a consequence it’s unlikely that police or prosecutors are going to take an interest in fraud that only involves small sums of money (less than a few million $).

However proving that a contract is unfulfilled is pretty trivial, and generally cut-and-dry. But failure to fulfil a contract obviously isn’t a criminal offence, so your only option is to file a civil suite. Thankfully most countries have small claims courts that cheap and very accessible, but with limits on how much you can claim. Just because the amount of money you’ve lost is above the small claims court amount, doesn’t prevent you from suing of an amount within the purview of a small claims court.

Beyond that, use a credit card. If credit card networks have provided any value in this world, it’s in the form of generally consumer friendly chargeback processes. It’s in there interest to make sure that people feel safe using their credit cards to buy stuff, more purchases means more transaction fees for them.

I suspect they've grossly misinterpreted the potential maintainers. it's easy to get a read on project maintainers and determine that you're wasting your time. If someone offers to let you take over a dying project, how much time are you really willing to risk until you have the keys? Pick someone active and interested and move on with things.
Certainly a topic where it's impossible to judge without knowing actual curves. Even looking at actual panels (without measuring output) you'd be prone to misjudge because some that look promisingly low in terms of specular reflection might pay for it with higher diffuse which won't notice as long as it's not particularly bright.

That leaves armchair-level pondering to theoreticals: is the perfect "any angle" surface even physically possible or are there physical limits that only leave tradeoffs?

And another aspect I don't know: do the cells mind? Does that "punch an electron" principle still work out when photons come in almost parallel to the electrodes? (in practical terms: if we compensated the lower effective cross section and reflectivity with higher light intensity, would we still get the same voltage?) When I was a kid I had a miniature cell in an experiment kit that had a deep plastic top layer with angled prism structures under the surface almost like those of a retro-reflector and I always wondered why it would have that. Was it because the cell could only collect from photons coming in almost perpendicular, and the job of the plastic structure was to make sure that there would always be some photons making the angle threshold (certainly by sacrificing a huge amount of power in the well-aimed case)

This all almost sounds like an argument for heliostats (which get the best yield per module surface, but the worst yield per acre), and which would be a perfect match for agrivoltaics. But that's an approach that hinges entirely on the cost and (far more importantly, at scale) resource use of the mechanical structures required. Which is a mechanical engineering problem that you'd have no problem explaining to a victorian era engineer. Genius "inventors" to the rescue?
There’s nothing inherent to the Juno 60 (to take something with the simplest architecture) that makes it sound like the 80s vs 2022. For electronic music it’s the drum beats, melodies, arrangement, the modulation, filter use and effects that have changed with the times.

Wavetable’s popular right now, so credit due to Korg for putting that out in HW format. On the other hand there’s also Waldorf which built their company over decades around this type of synthesis both in HW and plug-in format. ;-)
The thing with wavetable is that it works much better as a VST. One look at the front panel of the modwave lets me know that fiddling with the dozens of buttons and knobs would not be fun for me.

Anyway, there’s hardly anything revolutionary happening in synths. My theory’s that Roland recognized that and are focusing on workflow, availability, interoperability, etc.

Personally I don’t get it why there’s so many new synths being built…

Try not to end up psychologically in a place where nothing is real, because then also everything is real. It is this attitude that was fostered among the Russian population that allows Putin to senselessly send them to slaughter to Ukraine. This attitude is being fostered in America too. I hope it doesn't get that bad. I worry it will.
The opening bids on auctions are almost always meaningless and set very low - the auction company knows that the valuable items will be bid up fast enough, and they do NOT want anything left over because then they have to dispose of it.

Why some are 25 and some are 50 I'm not sure; they may raise the bid a bit on items they think might not get many bids.

> You can't just snap your fingers and tada, government corruption solved, utopia achieved.

No, but you could legitimately wonder what 15 years and the money that was invested in cryptocurrencies could have done to help solve the root problems, instead of marginally helping a few people while enabling scam and ransomware.

Do you have an idea how much money could be stolen from governments thanks to cryptocurrencies? North Korea is pretty good at this. Counter-productive solution now < perfect solution in the infinitely far future, IMO.
"Good fences make good neighbors."

But you're conflating nationalism with imperialism, as is so common these days.

And somehow you think that in the current system where multinational corporations sneak anti-consumer legislation into trade deals, poor countries don't get the short stick. Why? Who do you think benefits when poor countries are made to agree to onerous patent and copyright protections, and forced open internal markets, that prevents them from growing or protecting local industries?

> So you think a less free trade will reduce copyright length?

Copyright length is literally written into trade agreements and other international treaties, yet you are incredulous?
>But human empathy is a real thing.

And yet I think most politicians and leaders do not have true empathy, they are just faking it.
I’m sure Elon is checking the cameras. Taking items is a great way to turn a layoff into a for-cause firing.
Elon Musk is fairly well protected. Tesla corporate bylaws require a supermajority of votes for any major changes, so despite only controlling a minority of voting rights he has an effective veto over any shareholder resolutions.

Quite a lot of really simple solutions actually. But modern reasonable people who are offended by evil are too nice to get rid of it like they should.
The main argument is that it doesn't seem plausible. As in "they can't be this crazy". Maybe they are, but a lot of commenters seem to have had experiences making the "they already wanted him gone" scenario seem more likely.

Of course he's going to exploit this given reason even if he doesn't believe it either because it's the best way to get attention and even fame. Quite a few people have become prominent alt-right figures after such situations.
It is not consistent with other websites. That was more my point.
Then why did the Bishop translate Hakencruz to Swastika? The words are completely unrelated, the symbology is more similar to the "hooked" version and nothing to do with Swastik which has dots on it. It was a clear attempt by the Church to wash their hands.
You say people won't accept 10k+ cash payments but nevertheless such payments should be banned. Why? if no-one would accept them anyway.

Whether people accept large cash payments should be entirely up to them.

Maybe no memorial but for sure an OSHA incident report. https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/

There’s plenty of room for improvement. But it used to be that a 10,000 person steel mill could expect 1200 deaths and serious injuries each year. That only changed because people cared enough to fight for better conditions.
Not really a story I have followed but the numbers I see after a quick search suggest this is another bullshit story.

This website (first result on google, I don't particularly vouch for it [1]) suggests in 2020, 340 workers died every day from hazardous working conditions in the US. If you scale it to the population of Qatar, that's about 3 per day, or 20 per week. The guardian claims 12 migrant workers died per week in Qatar the last decades [2]. Not exactly out of proportion.

Yes, pretty easy. Keyboard-warrioring in general is.

But that's not the point. Victim blaming doesn't do any good for today's victim, but maybe it will help show the next person that their fate is under their control.

We agree on that. Throwing cryptocurrency solutions at those problems doesn't seem to solve them either, though. But they create other problems that crypto-enthusiasts like to ignore.
It exists to give management and PMs control of development again. Without it they can't control what developers do. It might be OK for web development but for most other areas it's a disaster.
Duolingo gives you a pass on a lot of typos, but it's somewhat inconsistent, probably the only consistent one is diacritics. I'm learning French and sometimes you get a cloze with two options, for example gendered adjectives, let's say petit and petite and no matter which one you choose it's marked as correct, because the wrong one will be detected as a typo, but as I said, this is an extremely inconsistent behaviour and you never know if something will be detected as a typo.
So wait, originally you are upset that the creator of the site didn't do extra legwork for you. Then immediately after you are chiding someone for not being curious and wanting to know what's inside their glues... Seems like the obvious solution would be for you to take your own advice and look up the product name to find out what's inside. Curious people can and will do that.

We don't have a problem with people checking ingredients. We have a problem with you coming in and telling people that they should check ingredients but also that the author's work is _distasteful_ because they should have provided the ingredients so you don't have to check yourself.
People expect tutorial levels because nothing has a manual anymore games have a dozen buttons two sticks a d pad and half of them have multiple actions mapped to them.
I think a reasonable reading here is that workers dying is a systemic issue (also related to their overall conditions), not a series of just unfortunate accidents. We may expect the ruling class to do something to make people die less, and this would start with communicating that this is important matter.

OTOH caring in front of camera is of course a pretty trash signal about the rulers actually doing anything, especially if said rulers are authoritarian and all they have to care about is strong police. An elected politician in representative democracy has a little more incentive to be half-truthful at least some of the time.

You can be cynical all you want. These regime-type considerations are separate from whether we think the culture should value preserving life of people, and not saying "well it's just how things are for thousands of years, good thing I am hereditary elite".
I do not get peoples' obsession with CRDTs. They are useful in a limited set of use cases when your operations are commutative but having only commutative operations is pretty rare except for some almost exotic use cases. Distributed document editing is for some reason a reoccurring theme but document editing operations are all but commutative. What people then build with all kinds of ad hoc conflict resolution strategies is barely worth being called a CRDT - nothing there is conflict-free, you are just defining conflicts away. Sometimes that works okay, at least for a limited uses case, but the resulting operations are rarely general, and sometimes they are just weird.

At the moment, every tool in supabase is decoupled from the other tools. The only thing that each tool depends on is Postgres. This is beneficial, because now we don't need to build interfaces - Postgres is the interface.

Putting this implementation into Realtime would introduce a second dependency for some tools or create a burden for the developer. For example, this query goes directly to PostgREST:

supabase.from('posts').update({ title: 'Hello', content: 'World' });

If the "content" part of this is a CRDT, then suddenly the developer needs to know that that particular field needs to be sent through realtime (psuedo-code):

supabase.from('posts').update({ title: 'Hello' });
supabase.from('posts').merge({ content: 'World' });

Or we'd need to build some automatic-routing logic into the libraries (or PostgREST), which is also complex.

In my view, CRDTs are a data problem, and therefore probably a database problem. If we can make Postgres act like "just another peer", then it simplifies the architecture.

> isn't it faster to iterate on your solution if you implement the merge semantics within the central source of truth that you have full control over?

We have full control over both Realtime and Postgres (at least the extension), so this is less of a concern. We're also less worried about fastest iteration than finding the correct solution long-term
Surely there are, say, British, European or American FIFA representatives who can be tried for taking bribes, or for being part of an organisation which takes bribes? Why are those people immune? They're complicit.

Really the most interesting part so far was not the actual releases themselves, but that they discovered some "ex" fed lawyer at Twitter inserting himself into the process to "vet" the material being released to the journalists[0].

Other than that there haven't been any huge revelations, though it's important to note that what we know right now is incomplete. They're gonna be drip-feeding this stuff to us to drive engagement.

Regarding the first release concerning direct political influence, I don't think we will have a smoking gun at the end of this even if it really did happen. Everyone who works a corporate job knows that anything you write down in an e-mail will come back to haunt you eventually. Maybe sketchier things happened in those face to face meetings the Twitter execs were having with intelligence agencies and politicians but I don't think we will know in the end.

The second release about shadowbanning, deboosting etc. was more interesting since they actually have a more complete picture here. This basically confirmed a bunch of manipulation happening behind the scenes that people have been suspecting for a long time. I hope they keep digging on this, I'd be interested to know more about who decided who ends up on these blacklists and why. Maybe even release the raw data so we can come to our own conclusions.

The extension would need both the all_urls and webRequest permissions to do this, since you can only spy on requests to origins your extension has a host permission for. The review team discourages all_urls permissions and scrutinizes them more, so theoretically getting a spy onto the store with the right permission combo is hard. If you trust the review team.

Note that these regulations were established for MV2, and MV3 doesn't do anything new to address this. So there's still no benefit to MV3 on this topic. As far as I can tell, and I work with these APIs for a living, the privacy claims of MV3 are bogus.
I want to be able to pay for at least a year of rent without relying on a bank.

I want to be able to pay for as much as possible without leaving any record with a third party if I don't want to.

I also want to be able to take all of my money out of the bank and keep it for myself, and give it to whoever I want, whenever I want, without having anyone's permission to do so, or reporting that I have done so to anyone.

Why is that illegitimate?
How did you pay? Did you let it go because "only $100"? Because if you paid by a non-sketchy method (paypal or credit card) the chargeback should be straightforward.

Now to use a tool correctly, you certainly need some basics. Saying that those who manage not to make a mess with a tool are probably doing it wrong because you don't know how to do it feels... weird.
I touch on this in the blog post:

It’s possible that developers will need to be selective about their “level” of offline support

[example table for a blog post]

Perhaps it’s not that important if the title has a “last write wins” strategy, because it’s rarely updated and less likely to have a merge conflict. But it is critical to use a smarter algorithm for the content of the blog post, especially in a team where multiple users are editing a blog post at the same time.
