This is an editorialized title. They aren’t asking to “unseal” anything because nothing has been sealed yet. The default assumption in bankruptcy is that the list of creditors is public information. FTX has filed a motion to seal this list, and the media companies are asking the court to deny this motion.

The submitted title seems to frame this as a privacy issue. I am a strong supporter of privacy, but in the legal system certain things pretty much have to be public, and creditors’ claims fall into this category.

I find chain much easier to read than nested comprehensions:

from itertools import chain
list(chain(*trees))
list(chain.from_iterable(trees))
list(chain(*dog_breeds.values()))
list(chain.from_iterable(dog_breeds.values()))

I hope you let her know that she shouldn't be ashamed. These people take advantage of the good nature of others. It's also something they work at every day to improve their ability to take advantage of others, fix the mistakes that caused the last con to fail so that the next person will be at an even greater disadvantage. Learn the lesson & move on.
Let’s not be this simplistic. There’s nothing bad about either in reasonable doses.
> > Thinking is the best anyone can do

> No, it's not. By testing, proving programs, running fuzzers, running sanitizers, and various other tooling you reduce the chance of problems to an acceptable level

Yes it is. If the outcome is acceptable to you it's because you think so.

The rust authors thought wrongly too: using this testing, proving, fuzzing, sanitizing and various other tooling "accepted" the code with bugs in it, but it wasn't good enough, so they fixed it. It clearly wasn't "acceptable" to them.

Meanwhile, I'm wondering what the heck kind of crazy crackhead do you gotta be to think that the "bugs" nobody has hit in ten-year-old-code that paid for my house are somehow worse than these bugs that passed testing, proving, fuzzing, sanitizing and various other tooling.

> but nothing doing anything isn't acceptable behavior in face of preventable risk

Going 200kph the wrong way is absolutely worse than doing nothing.

> Basically by upgrading your Rust version, your code becomes less and less buggy over time, which is not something C can boast about

No, your code doesn't become less buggy, you just stop using other peoples' clearly buggy but nonetheless proven, tested, fuzzed, and sanitized code.

Your application may or may not become less buggy: If a user can't hit a bug, it isn't a bug. But if they have, you're going to be hoping those other people at least made small diffs so you have a chance of finding it.
Yes, but very infrequently:

- The US Treasury sends refund checks and also sent the stimulus checks to me.

- I paid my rent by check when living in Manhattan 9-10 years ago.

When you ain't doing it frequently enough, it's frustrating. (edit: it's more friction given I live outside the states and the bank I have now requires phone-based 2FA to login to the internet bank, but at least it is infrequent enough to not worry too much)

Check out "The Loom of Language: An Approach to the Mastery of Many Languages" by Frederick Bodmer. I'm reading it now and it's quite extraordinary. It seems like a particularly good fit for someone with your linguistic background, especially if you have an interest in learning further Germanic or Romance languages.
> When the original iphone premiered, a lot of experts were saying it'll be a failure because it lacks physical controls and it makes calling while driving impossible.

Several things to unpack:

1. Dialing a phone while driving was no better with phones with physical buttons than with an iPhone. When the iPhone was released there were few truly hands free calling systems in cars, many jurisdictions have laws against phone use in cars. This is a moot point.

2. Touchscreens on phones before the iPhone were shit. The UIs were primarily designed for a stylus. In the rare situation UI elements were even big enough to hit with a fingertip the resistive screens sucked and wouldn't properly register a touch. Physical buttons were necessary because the screens and UIs were not designed for touch. The iPhone changed that calculus.

> So touch screens might be shit, you just don't need to touch them while driving.

Except for functions like the defroster on Teslas which requires navigating nested menus on the touchscreen to activate. So you definitely need to use the touchscreen while driving if all the physical controls have been replaced by a touchscreen.
Thanks for sharing. Seems like you've found your product-market fit!

I do agree that many SaaS services are underpriced (and many overpriced). SaaS entrepreneurs should take a bit more risk and try pricing their products at the higher end - even if its for an experimental duration.
I tried to make a Web course for a friend, like a super duper crash course. Turns out it's a ton of fucking effort and gets outdated fairly quickly.

The best system would be having mini Web projects with automatic testing based. So they can program an actual website, whist being marked for actually doing it.

However, that's way too much effort for a one time thing.
Verifying language models is going to make the difference between useful and useless. I predict in 12 months we'll have a fact checking neural network, possibly with an additional text index of verified facts.

And all these hacks are going away in the next point release, they just need to collate them all and add them to the training set. There are still going to be adversarial attacks though. That's hard to guard against, but they won't be created manually, we'll need algorithms to find them.

Ask HN: What did you do that helped you reach senior title?
I doubt there's a single, pivotal thing that you can do to reach the top of the IC ladder, but, besides looking into your internal company career ladders, what have you done, maybe by going the extra mile, or taking ideas from HN or nice subreddits that really helped you in any way?

I doubt airmail ever flew at 10,000 feet in the pre-radio navaid era. It shocks me how low these people flew. I suppose part of it was for weather/cloud/temperature reasons, and maybe that it somehow felt safer to be closer to the threat (i.e. ground) but the number of stories of airmail pilots flying into trees and buildings and whatnot makes me shiver.
Also, why can't I set a phantom/virtual/dummy profile for a specific app/service asking for permissions? Why do I have to choose between not using something and giving it access to everything it wants? Why can't I choose which real data it's allowed to see and which is dummy data, regardless of permissions?

I'm keeping an eye on Canada. They had barely a blip in 2008, and the same run up post-2008, so the average home sale price was 2x that of the US in 2021, despite no 30-year fixed mortgages (most float or are fixed for 5-years at most). During Covid prices were up 20-30% over those two years. Absolute insanity.

The bank of Canada has increased interest rates from 0.25% during Covid to 4.25% with the latest increase this week. The economy isn't really slowing much, so a few more increases are likely next year. Plus Canada needs to keep up with the US interest rate or else their currency will depreciate which is great for exports, but crappy for imports (and thus inflation).

Cracks are starting to show. In Toronto the outlying suburbs are down 20-35% in just the last 8 months (which bring them down to pre-Covid or slightly below). A ton of people took variable rate mortgages during Covid (30% last year) so each interest rate increase is increasing their monthly payments. It's not unusual to hear people say their $2000 mortgage is now $3800/month. All while home prices are dropping.

It's going to be really interesting. I'm guessing a 2008 like correction (without the financial institution crisis like the US). Some areas will likely see 40%+ down from peak which will likely bring prices back to the early 2010's.

Another problem is that most mortgages in Canada are recourse (except Alberta). So if you can't make payments, sell, and your proceeds don't cover the remaining mortgage, well the bank is coming after your other assets for the difference.

Quite the situation.
Some comments here seem ignorant of the key study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35987213/

It’s very compelling - some sweeteners have adverse metabolic effects and it is mediated by the microbiome [1]. Aspartame and stevia seem better than sucralose and saccharin. In theory, thaumatin should also be fine.

So did I but, man, that took ten years of pretty intensive study (13 hours a week at the peak, across four school subjects). They taught us really well, but there's got to be a way to reach this level of proficiency with less effort.

This was in the Soviet Union and before the Internet, and so we were studying in complete linguistic isolation. When I met a native speaker for the first time, I had already been studying the language for nearly ten years.
Perchloroethylene is used by almost every dry cleaner in the United States.
Physical design is outside my area of expertise, but I understand that a large part of the increase may be due to improved fab. 15-20% speed improvement per node would account for the majority of the clock speed gain. Also, with smaller feature sizes comes the ability to trade away some of the density for further increases in the frequency, without actually requiring more transistors.
Do not worry; you are in the proper location. Nothing beats having reliable hackers. Have any of your social media accounts been hacked? and you're seeking for a hacker to recover them? For a specific hacking task like this, you should get in touch with SPYWARE CYBER. I was very terrified for myself when I lost my verified Twitter account to internet phishers since I was concerned that I might be impersonated for a very bad purpose given that it was verified and had so many followers. I tried to get help to recover my lost Twitter account but it was in vain. I contacted SPYWARE CYBER on the basis of a referral, and fortunately, these professionals were able to assist me to recover my stolen social network account within a few hours. I felt happy, so I decided to spread the word to everyone else so that you can avoid falling victim to internet phishers that want to steal your social network accounts for illegal activities. Getting in touch with Spyware@cybergal.com, will be very beneficial.

Thank you.

Senior means different things across companies so if the goal is the title (which it probably shouldn't be), the fastest way to get there is to change companies - there will be someone willing to hire you with a senior title.

Willful abuse? Sure. Some cop in Canada was just convicted of assault and jailed (I believe). But like the US, not following protocols is usually corrective punishment and then penalties such as unpaid leave if it's not fixed.

I don't know of any country where cops are charged criminally for a search that the courts toss out because it wasn't done correctly.

Games were brutally hard back then because they wanted you to spend more quarters. And they did have tutorials, either written on the side of the arcade cabinet, or via the main screen showing a little bit of game play to give you the idea of what you were doing.

And those games were simple enough that seeing a few seconds of play was enough to explain pretty much the entire game, whereas now many games have entire wikis (DF, Stardew, etc.) because there are tons of things to keep track of, whether that be how to make soap or when you can catch a squid.

:) Obvious or not, one does still occasionally hear "give us more cores instead".

I agree about the communication cost. Higher clocks are harder - quadratic increase in power. For shared-nothing problems, an array of wimpy (low frequency) cores is pretty good. It seems to me that wider, lower-frequency cores are a good compromise: beefy enough (thanks to vectors) to reduce the number of cores required, while still power-efficient due to both vectors and lower clocks.
No you price some domains higher because you can and you want to make more money.
At the time of this "scandal", Biden was not even President. All campaigns have lines into major social media companies to take down quickly the content that violates terms of service. What is the issue?
This is a problem with the (oft-praised-by-outsiders) Finnish educational system. Equality is very highly valued, arguably at the expense of restraining fast learners. My kid is looking to be bright as hell and I'm not sure how to approach this.
When one is working as part of a team (in a professional context), it’s one’s responsibility to ensure the delivery of one’s message doesn’t “clash” with others in a way that may feel as harassment or bullying.

If that’s unclear, most companies introduce etiquette and guidelines on what constitutes acceptable forms of behaviour and communication at the office/during work hours. It’s also a topic one can bring up with their therapist for additional tips and guidelines.
So many ways to have fun with speed: downhill mountain biking, kite surfing, skiing, snowboarding, car or motorcycle racing on a closed circuit. If that's not enough speed you can get into aviation and learn to pilot small aircrafts.

If you have to do it on public roads at least get a motorcycle, they are faster than 99%+ of cars even in performance category and you feel speed much more but at least you take your fair share of risk of your recklessness.

Instead you want to have fun in the most isolated dull way at the maximum cost to those around you. Maybe those lefties are onto something you know - letting others live their lives in peace without worrying about fun having maniacs killing them on their way home.

> ...verified it would gather information from Google, Dropbox sign, the bank receiving the funds...

While I agree that our banking system should evolve past the high-trust model that it has organically grown out of, this sounds absolutely dystopian to me. I would much rather live in a world where the resolution is "sorry, you got scammed, that sucks, learn from it" rather than "our corporate overlords will collaborate to ensure your safety." Even if real-time 2FA of fund transfers existed everywhere, people (including everyone in the right state, sure) would still click those things. Technology doesn't solve social problems.
I'm sure the US government could think of one or two things to put enough pressure on such countries, if it cared to do that.

When experimenting with solar efficiency, I noticed that spraying the panels with water every half hour increases efficiency pretty dramatically.

The wet surface seems better at absorbing sunlight than the 'anti reflective' glass surface, and the evaporating water is a great cooler.

Since it uses so little water, I don't know why industrial installations don't do it.

> I wanted to be able to read german (books etc) rather than being able to converse in german.

German can be quite tricky in this regard, in that the written and the spoken language can be quite different grammatically. One basic example that immediately springs to mind is that the simple past (Präteritum) is used very little in speech but very extensively in writing. This means that, when reading German books, one encounters lots of verb forms they'd never hear in speech (which, I'm guessing, would make it unlikely that Duolingo teaches them?)
Sucralose actually having an effect might explain why modern diet soda is so bloody good, to the point that every single time I get a Fanta Zero I double check after my first sip that I didn't get the sugary version instead.

You could taste the aspartame in Diet Coke, but Coke Zero, Sprite Zero and Fanta Zero are, in my opinion, better tasting than the original thing. But perhaps as unhealthy, if not worse. I'm in UK, in case there are regional differences.

I won't make as strong a claim that they've lobbied developers to make sites Chrome-only, but they've created a lot of tools for developers to check how performant their website is and how SEO friendly it is. Most of the time that's based on Google's metrics which work best on Google's browser and search.

Maybe. It's easy enough to send money to someone using the phone these days, so I'm not sure cashless would lead to gift cards here in Switzerland (or my native Sweden.) But I agree it's not a very fun package to open when it's just a promise to use Twint/Swish to transfer money.

Oh, maybe the real use for gift cards is that the receiver can't haggle. "I know you wanted to give me $200, but how about we make that an even $500 instead?" :)
I had "Unusual sources of energy" class at University. One day we were sitting in the classroom, the teacher was there but the class didn't started yet. I was eating one of those extruded styrofoam cracker and I noticed on the packaging there was a nutrient information, I converted it 1:1 to electric energy and calculated that one cracker could power single LED diode for 6 months. It seemed wrong so I told it to the teacher and asked him how they actually calculate the energy of various foods and when he said they burn it, I bursted into laughter because I honestly imagined some more sophisticated method.
