Even worse than that, they're often connecting from public IPs that are "suspicious" which causes automated systems to treat them more harshly.

In Canada it's gotten to the point where you need an internet connected device to participate in the most important systems; government, banking, etc.. It's very sad that device can't be supplied by the libraries. They have them, but big tech discriminates against anything that's not a personal computing device.
OK sure so the FDIC can just insure FTX then.

Other brokerages lend out their spare cash without your consent, too.

Sometimes?

When I worked at a small company we had two java guys who basically sat around for a year because they were hired speculatively and we didn't end up using java, and the general manager hired a sales guy for the americas who never did anything and just sat in his office the entire time for two years.

I think it depends on what the priorities of management are at the time. Sometimes money isn't the biggest issue and management may be very weak at examining productivity so you'll have excess staff.
Even in its current incarnation, it's trivial to give it access to a python repl (simply by telling it you'll run any code it gives you), through which it will gladly use libraries to interact with the outside world.

2. Management that is sane. Not constantly changing directions or chasing the next sale.

3. Work/life balance.

4. Pay and benefits. I'm a for-profit enterprise.

5. Something meaningful to work on. It doesn't have to save the world, but it would be nice if it's something more than a "me too" product or, worse, something shady/immoral.

6. I'd prefer a smaller team.
Never argued blockchains should fully replace traditional finance.

Banks are extremely valuable to me and probably always will be.

Blockchains have certain properties which make them extremely desirable in a specific set of use-cases. That set was greatly exaggerated by ignorance and insanity in the bull market. Still, the true set is nonzero.

Stop being an ideologue. It spreads ignorance.

Your comment reeks of typical internet crumple zone worship. You absolutely do need “buff strength” in the parts of a vehicle that hold the occupants. Cabins have only gotten stronger and more rigid with time.
Usually banks have a template so the edge cases aren't so edgy. Had to do this with Canadian banks and each one had their own template, but once you parsed it, generally, it worked until they updated their template again.
If cost is an indicator of value then the apparent value/relevance of higher education has only increased over the past 30 years. I think we are in the early phases of higher education disruption but it will be driven mainly by socioeconomic reasons. Is the current annual cost increase in higher education really sustainable over the next 10-20 years?
If it wasn't for the goldrush enabled to large part by the exchanges cryptocurrencies would still be some technology used by some nerds in their basements to pay each other for pizza. Let's be real, almost nobody uses crypto as an actual payment method. It's all just get rich schemes too good to be true.

So why you're correct in principle, it would be of no relevance if everyone self-custodied (also let's not ignore the bugs crypto contracts)

I can't even log _in_ to begin with. I have an account but every password that I try doesn't work. Username retrieval emails work but password reset messages never arrive in my inbox. Support representatives ignore this issue when I tell them about it and instead say that they "can't verify [my] ownership of the account" and refuse to help even though I email them back from the address that's on my account. They also say that if I don't login that my username might maybe possibly hopefully someday be released for use after an indeterminate period of time.

On the flip side I suppose that this saves me from the plight described in this article, though I somehow doubt that anybody would want to watch me produce my cover band practice sessions or write random side projects anyhow :-P
I wrote the above answer with my brain and fingers without including ChatGPT.

From public knowledge, no, it's all speculative.

Speaking as a complete non-expert, I don't find that a satisfactory/comforting answer.

Just a quick google search shows prosecutors in the US also selectively choose which cases to prosecute (it appears there are around 4x as many cases get dismissed than go all the way to a jury trial), but nonetheless there are many meritless cases that do somehow make it to trial anyways.

I could accept that Japanese prosecutors are a bit better at filtering, but a 99.3% conviction rate does not seem right.
Why does that matter? Anyone with a brain would design a process to start with something better than nothing energy content, perhaps biomass or plastic.

There are plenty of male founders who got popped for fraud. Trevor Milton (of Nikola infamy) is an easy one that comes to mind.
I hacked a water dispenser timer into my fridge. Maybe not proudest, but definitely most visible and useful.

In the process, I accidentally damaged the (secondary) ice maker, so I called an appliance repair tech. After I explained the situation, he said I had a better chance of repairing it than he did.

It's a real world version of a bug that I was clever enough to create, but not clever enough to fix.
This is why you get backup codes and physically write them down.

I know it's of no consolation for you OP at this point though.

No way Ellison is getting off scot free. I'd expect her to get a huge reduction in her sentence, but would still be shocked if she got no jail time.

It has been reported that there was a meeting that included SBF, Ellison and the other high ups at FTX where the decision was deliberately, explicitly made that Alameda would use customer funds to prop itself up. That is most definitely a crime on Ellison's part if true.
No, they don't have my consent.

I'm forced to use banks because the government won't protect me from criminals if I shove cash under my mattresses.

The banks don't offer an "opt-out" option when you register. Real consent means you offer "yes" and "no" and the other party says yes.

It's effectively forced upon me.

You've probably fallen into the black hole of the fraud department. The only way to get out of that, with most big companies, is to get the personal attention of an executive.
Strongly disagree. I think you can fairly say that about developing countries. I live in one now and it’s almost assumed politicians are on the take. But in the US many people are very principled.

I also don’t see why complete transparency would be the goal of the justice department. Sam might think of moving to Dubai if he knows all their moves.

I assume it is more likely than not that this person is a crank with superficial knowledge and is dangerous when given a stack of cash or access to policy levers. Even for highly literate people, the crucible of feedback is very important. That is something that's often missed by people who don't need as much external feedback to learn. Literacy isn't enough.

Is that how you meant it?

I suspect, in either case, that this is a great Rorschach test of something or other.
Sorry to hear about your situation. We really need to host our own email or utilize a paid service, but it becomes cumbersome and expensive. I'm not sure what the solution to this is.
1. Incorporating a company in another country and abiding by its rules and regulations is not and should not, in and of itself, be considered "evasion" of US regulation.

2. The US has refused to draft clear legislation regarding how to operate a crypto company in the US, effectively forcing all interested parties to take the route described in point 1.
Venturing outside the box is fine. But it's an idiosyncratic choice without much, if any, upside and is ultimately a distraction and hides behind some perceived rational decision to use it. The linked Stack Exchange covers this, and one should consider the appropriateness of the tool being used. I think he'd agree on the same for programming languages.
The new conspiracy is that SBF was arrested to prevent him from spilling the beans on something during his PR tour.

I would be very, very surprised if that’s not what the vast majority of the population is doing. Many people have a phone as their _only_ computing device, and no printer, and don’t really understand why they should be carrying around scrawled codes in their wallet.

I don't know what the viewership numbers are, but as someone who watches a lot of LoL across all the major leagues (LCS in North America, LEC in Europe, LCK in Korea, LPL in China), I wouldn't be surprised if LCS viewership falls even while others do well. The standard of play in LCS is far worse than the other three regions, and there are no redeeming features either (LEC is worse than LCK/LPL but they do a lot of fun things with their production that makes it entertaining to watch overall).
Google is extremely frustrating in this regard. I keep my TOTP in 1Password so that I can have it on multiple devices. When I tried to login in on a new device, I used the TOTP code. Google then wanted me to click approve in the YouTube app on an old device that was no longer functioning. Eventually I was able to get it to work by re-logging in a few times (I guess it gave up) but why the fuck do I even have 2FA if Google isn’t going to fucking respect it? Infuriating.
I'd expect that you'd move your number to your new phone's SIM, and that Google would then let you verify with SMS. Do they not let you do this?

Yeah, I've thought about trying the Adaptive Lighting feature, as Apple calls it in the Home app with my compatible Hue lights, but only a small fraction of my Hue lights support changing color temperature, and having a mish-mash of blue and yellow lights scattered around my house just makes me angry :)

If/when I ever have reason to redo all of the lights in my house, I'll definitely go with all bulbs that support at least different color temperatures if not a full range of colors and give this a whirl.

My theory is that this gets me what the SAD lights are simulating without any manual effort, and it seems to be working

Very interesting...
You are generally correct, but this being HN I'm gonna do some informative nitpicks anyway:

* SC2 works as you say, but from what I remember SC1's Korean leagues were run without Blizzard's consent/management. Obviously with SC2 they then 'fixed the glitch'. Probably the same for SC Remastered as well.

* There's an interesting case where the old C&C games are being slowly reimplemented in full by open source coders, in which case I imagine EA can't do anything even if they wanted to: https://www.openra.net/
> What do you do?

I get screwed!

I guess the right answer is that I have the backup codes carefully preserved.... off site! In case of natural disaster. Every time I sign up for a new account, I print out the backup codes, and take them to an off-site secure storage location, which of course i have... somewhere.

There's no way 90%+ of internet users are doing that.

I'm not even going to pretend I have any chance of doing that.
They'll be caught shuttling around money from account to account to inflate the apparent amount of reserves on the books by my reading of that Mazar's doc.

I have a hotmail account from the nineties and some emails just don't get delivered to it anymore. It's happened with several companies that I do business with. I've had to get them on the phone and change my email to a gmail account, but some you can't get them on the phone.

> It’s not that everything’s a conspiracy, it’s that everything is corrupt.

No, it's not, and this sentiment is what frustrates a lot of us. I'm in no way saying "the world is fair" or that money and power can't be influential, but, at least in the US, and at least for the time being, there are a lot of career law enforcement people who really just want to do a good job.

Yes, these folks that do just want to do a good job have been under a heavy attack in the past 10-20 years as "the deep state", but most of them are just normal Joes and Janes that are good at their job and believe in following the law, and there are just not enough avenues at the time being to bypass that, particularly in high profile cases like this.

> if you'd just let it run without doing anything it would probably run for 30-40 years.

Let it run? You mean, presumably, the huge amount of testing and preventative and planned maintenance that is scheduled in as part of a reactors expected lifetime, plus anything new discovered along the way. That doesn't come for free.

> In theory maintain a nuclear power plant to last for 100s of years

Sure, given enough effort you can fix anything. But extending a fission plant's lifetime can require massive overhauls, replacing reactor components, replacing materials that have experienced radiation embrittling and activation, etc. Keeping a plant running indefinitely is so complicated and expensive that we haven't managed it so far.

Extension is something we should absolutely consider but it's not a magic fix all. Sometimes it's not worth it to keep an old thing running.
A few years ago, the company I work at switched to using Alpine-based docker images for most containerized things. One side effect was that our Ansible playbooks (running from inside one of these containers) would fail with inconsistent network timeouts when targeting a couple thousand servers. It turned out that the issue wasn't with the network nor with Ansible. The way that Ansible invoked some library functions for keeping track of SSH connections caused it to create a bunch of POSIX semaphores via sem_open().

glibc had a dynamically allocated data structure to keep track of semaphores, but musl libc only had a fixed-size 256 element array. When the semaphore limit was exhausted, Ansible would fail to keep track of the connections, resulting in a network timeout error message. I fixed the problem by forking musl's semaphore functions, making the array resizable, and loading the implementation with LD_PRELOAD: https://github.com/chenxiaolong/musl-sem-ext. Worked perfectly for 6 years until we decommed our data center :)
You can totally create something impressive by combining the best junk, though.

> Both cooperate -> both go free for a moment, spend some months or maybe even a few years living in fear, then with 95% chance go to prison for life. That's because the whole deal is about saving work for the Feds, but they will put in that work if needed, and come back with bullet-proof case.

This isn't necessarily the case. The Feds convict on 95% of the cases they decide to prosecute. Which means that they decide not to prosecute marginal cases.

It could be the case that there just isn't enough evidence to bury them.
Yes, and this kind of prisoner's dillema isn't an accurate description of the hypothetical one. When it comes to the DOJ making a case against two people, both of them co-operating will likely get both of them harsher sentencing than what the defector will get.

That's why underlings have strong incentives to defect, and defect quickly. (Defection is also rarely an option for the person at the top of the pyramid.)

But these are only recent examples that I’ve chosen haphazardly, I’m not an expert, and this movement has been going on for 50 years or so.

You could read someone like:
Hallam, Sylvia (1975), Fire and hearth: A study of Aboriginal usage and European usurpation in south-western Australia, Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies, ISBN 978-0-85575-036-7

and from there contrast it with colonial descriptions of the superiority of western methods that destroyed these people (and their methods of forest management in the interceding 150 years).

Arthur C Clarke’s third law works in both directions, as it turns out: you can have Cargo Cults, and you can have Westerners who have lost the concept that sometimes you do know when the seals will return because a flower blooms. Indigenous people were experts at meeting complexity with complexity.

It is also a whole (fairly humbling) movement around archaeology at the moment. It’s unfortunate westerners destroyed so much before waking up.
