If Alameda lost the billions, then who won the billions? Who was on the other side of those trades?
> Wait times for medical care seem surreal.

Its due to the governments defunding public healthcare in order to 'strangle it then save it'. You defund it, make people say 'it doesnt work', then say that "We need to privatize it."

Its de facto privatization method used since Reagan/Thatcher. Same method is being used in any country that ends up with a 'privatizing' government.

Yeah, exactly. The courts are more worried about Helvetica Narrow 6 than Comic Sans 18; flip side of the same coin, since they tend to have upper rather than lower bounds.

Your business is to deliver value to your client in every way except saving money on your fee.

So you can sign it just like any other contract.

But you must first decide what it is worth, put a price on it, present the number to the client, and get back to what matters.

Sales.

Good luck.

I could potentially see why Apple Pay might be disabled but why would iCloud? the only risk there is your own data files.
I don't think depth matters that much, except that with a deeper pond you have less risk of it drying out completely in a dry season.

More important is: how much rain do you get, how warm is your climate, what is the average humidity, is the pond well sealed, and does the pond collect runoff from the surrounding area?

I'm in Oregon. I made a pond during the pandemic that's probably about 1500 gallons, and about 3 1/2 feet deep at the deepest. When it gets hot and dry in the summer I have to add a couple inches of water maybe every couple weeks, but for the rest of the year I don't add anything at all.

(I tend to get a fair bit of silt runoff in the pond during the winter, because some of the ground nearby drains into the pond.)
You're right of course, messing up my units again.
In the article, Jack links the Twitter thread wherein he reflects on a specific controversial ban. He only links the first tweet in the thread, but clearly still intends it to be read long-form and stands by his prior reasoning despite any principles enumerated in this article itself.

In the thread’s second tweet, Jack wrote:

> We faced an extraordinary and untenable circumstance, forcing us to focus all of our actions on public safety. Offline harm as a result of online speech is demonstrably real, and what drives our policy and enforcement above all.

In the current article, he doesn’t address this topic at all. In fact, he focuses very much on eliminating barriers to serving content which, again according to his own thread, was inciting offline violence.

He proposes solutions which instead put users in control of moderating whether their feed is full of incitement to violence. In other words, he’s proposing that the people who would be incited to violence are the ones who should moderate their exposure to such incitement, without interference, and suggests that this would encourage healthier dialogue, with greater transparency, reducing the influence of powerful governments and businesses on acceptable speech.

What happens offline vanished from his analysis, but it can’t be ignored. If all OtherPlatformBesidesTwitter users have a free hand in deciding what OPBT serves them, and it’s acknowledged that content on OBPT can pose safety risks to other people completely off-platform…

… what Jack is suggesting here is that the incitement to violence should be facilitated without hindrance, and the potential victims should just tune it out because it’s not their preferred content.

Somewhat amusingly at an emotional distance, that’s almost exactly Twitter with human moderation removed. More darkly, what he’s proposing is a recruitment tool for literally any wonder imaginable, no matter how much it would also be an unspeakable horror.

I share most of Jack’s stated principles, as a former anarchist who mostly hasn’t shifted values apart from some more nuanced analysis of power. It’s unforgivable that he’s using that analysis to promote a model of social media that puts the onus on platforms to serve those eager for violence and gives no consideration for anyone who doesn’t want to be their victim.

thats so wtf to me-- from my perspective it was obviously squirrly from the start.

The guy showed up out of nowhere... suddenly being promoted by throwaway reddit accounts, claiming to have made more than ten billion on trades where claiming a million dollar payoff would have been surprising and dubious.

Their exchange specialized in offering almost anonymous retail traders access to leveraged trading on the most dubious of cryptocurrencies stuff popular exchanges won't carry and they carry a lot of bullshit. They even had varrious weirdo products 'index funds' including one called 'shitcoin index'.

When FTX acquired a derivatives clearing house I used, I pulled 95% of my account value out right away. I also warned my friends to stay away from FTX or anything related when I had the chance-- which wasn't often because it wasn't something most bitcoiners I encountered were particularly aware of (as mentioned, their service was more of a casino than an exchange-- big leverage for the most volitile crap).

So while I get how people that might have been in the right media bubbles might have thought it was reputable... but generally? Not a chance, at least not from my perspective.

Was the media critical? No-- there are reports that negative stories about SBF and FTX were actively suppressed in some newsrooms and it's already the case that scamcoiners are actively suing people who criticize them, so that's a big incentive to say nothing when you see a fraud.
I've been using Namesilo for years now. Never had a single complaint.
I have used Diigo for a long time in a similar way - bookmarks are useless, and I only remember the sentences in the links I’m after, not the url, plus tagging them.

This seems like a much cleaner setup and can feed into indieweb as well.

Thanks for sharing, I wouldn’t have gone looking for this.

ZFS does snapshots (very lightweight and quick) and separately it can do deduplication. It has a lot of nice features, I'd recommend looking into it if you find it interesting. It's quite practical these days (I think it comes with ubuntu even) and it's saved my butt a time or two.

I don't think any legislature or courts would have problems with genuine warnings and if they did it'd likely require additional laws. Favoring the built in store so heavily by disabling more functionality than strictly required might be taken as going against the law already going into effect or be seen as overly anticompetitive in general though. The same might be said for overly aggressive/false warnings.
> The Underhanded C Contest is an annual contest to write innocent-looking C code implementing malicious behavior. In this contest you must write C code that is as readable, clear, innocent and straightforward as possible, and yet it must fail to perform at its apparent function. To be more specific, it should perform some specific underhanded task that will not be detected by examining the source code.

> Every year, we will propose a challenge to coders to solve a simple data processing problem, but with covert malicious behavior.

The capitalist European governments that are being elected are privatizing healthcare. The first step for doing that is defunding public healthcare to make people say that 'it doesnt work - its better in private hospitals'. Then you say you have to privatize the entire system. It also funnels people to private hospitals early - when you defund public healthcare and force people into long wait times, they have no option but to go to private hospitals.
This is a distraction.

This guy is getting greedy.

Anyone who runs a semiconductor equipment company would know that one major reason that ASML is critically important to the US government is its EUV technology. This is the barrier between the Taiwan-dependent status quo and an independent China semiconductor supply chain.

If ASML sells EUV machines to China, Taiwan loses a major source of importance to the Chinese economy. This would shift the entire Mexican standoff between China, Taiwan, the US, Europe, South Korea, and Japan.

The ASML CEO is playing dumb and pretending the issue is a simple question of percentage sales to China.
I think being faced with this or having your kids faced with this probably elicits all kinds of stress responses and coping mechanisms.

I could totally see myself engaging in nervous laughter if one of my kids fucks up this badly. I could also see twisting my worldview to make my kids innocent in my own mind, as a form of denial, unconditional love for the kids, etc.

From press reports it seems possible those parents did a poor job raising him, that the apple didn't fall far from the tree, but I think also we shouldn't rush to judgement or draw conclusions where another explanation might suffice.
Can someone explain to me why this sentiment is often downvoted on HN? Why is YouTube seemingly the only software platform that people chafe at having an ad-free tier and seemingly believe should be completely free to all with no ads?

It seems absolutely intuitive to me that if you don't want to see ads on a content enterprise, which are monetizing that content enterprise, you should generally be prepared to pay. Why is that deemed so outrageous with regards to YouTube?
Represents high-dimensional objects in terms of "how many dimensions required to describe them (n-vector).

Then also adds the notion of describing them in terms of "how many dimensions are excluded from your embedding dimension to describe them (m-pseudovector)

Example in 3D:

scale: requires no vector dimensions <-> quantity (pseudovolume)

line: requires one vector dimension <-> plane family (pseudoplane)

plane: requires two vector dimensions <-> plane normal (pseudovector)

volume: requires three vector dimension <-> metric (pseudoscalar)

Two Dimensions (n+1=3):
scalar = pseudobivector
vector = pseudovector
bivector = pseudoscalar

Three Dimensions (n+1=4):
scalar = pseudotrivector
vector = pseudobivector
bivector = pseudovector
trivector = pseudoscalar

Four Dimensions (n+1=5):
scalar = pseudotetravector
vector = pseudotrivector
bivector = pseudobivector
trivector = pseudovector
tetravector = pseudoscalar

Ah, sorry, that was actually good advice, haha.

I saw "AskReddit", quickly skimmed and saw something along the lines of "Every lottery winner gets murdered by family", and jumped to the conclusion that this was your typical /r/AntiWork-esque "Mediocrity is good" viral post.

I think all the advice he posted about setting up trusts, buying index funds and treasuries, etc would fit in great here, on /r/fatfire, MMM or anywhere else.
It bothers me that the author writes "If you register your domain in a banana republic because you think the TLD looks cool, and el presidente wants your domain..." with the implication that Spanish speaking countries are (more likely to be) corrupt. Remember that the first banana republic was a result of deliberate colonialism from the USA.

Developers should know to ask questions when a weird request is made.

Developers presumably know how to think and have a vague idea of what the business does to know that a ask to futz with internal financials programmatically is fucking wierd.
Genius, but it has to be a bug that you haven't knowingly prevented before, otherwise it'd be suspicious.

It feels like our Being is one and unique and therefore provides an irreducible concept of One that we are all presumably experiencing.

We only share our object reality not our sense of Being and so while for me this seems like a singular concept I can not witness what it is for you or anyone else.

> fulfilling to tackle a new project and a new tech stack every 18 months.

That's not what I mean by 1 year of experience 10 times. That's 1 year of experience with specific technologies, which nobody except recruiters and HR people looking to mindless fill out a job description care about.

By 1 year of experience 10 times, I mean working in the same ecosystem, doing coding but never really going beyond that. It seems like there's always someone in every position I've had. They have a long resume, but look at their code or their overall development practices and you'd think it came from a junior coder new to the industry.

Establishing yourself through learning a new tech stack every so often is fine – as long as you demonstrate that your skills as a developer have grown. Going from not owning any specific area of the code, helping in other people’s areas, fixing bugs, making small modifications, and implementing very small features to owning an entire product, in all aspects of the development process, providing technical direction to others, doing design and making architectural-level decisions is establishing yourself.
There's a distinction, sure, but it's not infinite.

Would you shrug your shoulders and say "they're not humans" when confronted with an animal abuser torturing intelligent family pets? I hope not. The intelligence of some non-humans, like great apes, is pretty incontrovertible. People are familiar with the social and emotional capabilities of dogs, but pigs and cows are surprisingly similar.

On the other hand, would I get up on arms if you squished a mosquito, or if a starving person ate a fish? If you ate a tomato? Of course not, that's ridiculous.

Somewhere on that spectrum is a point where we can evaluate the morality and the utility of killing male chickens to make egg farming more profitable.

It's critical to allow society to understand that part of the system that produces eggs in sterile styrofoam packages for 99 cents is a shredder that turns chicks into cow feed. People who do not understand the food industry cannot make informed choices about what to consume, and people supplying that demand cannot be expected to universally buck incentives.
It probably is though. Sure, they didn't have as much distractions, but they also didn't have the sum total of the world's knowledge at their fingertips in the same way we do today.

People having been saying "this next generation is inferior to the last one" since the ancient Greeks. If that was consistently true we would already be in an Idiocracy scenario.

Having lived most of my life in a very corrupt country, my view is that corruption is to society what cancer is to the body.
Liking or not liking something is not necessarily a good reason to do or not do something. Some people don't like eating vegetables, some people would like to eat cake, drink whiskey, and smoke every day. Are those good ideas or bad ideas? Is whether they are good or bad based on whether someone likes something?
“I reject the idea that most people won't see the sense in trading in the ability to drive whenever they want for short, inexpensive, and safe commutes”

I take it you’re from an affluent area and make a high salary.

Come to New York City and talk to some of these people about how much they love the subway. It’s not short, inexpensive, or safe.

The great thing about people espousing their hatred for cars and the people who use them is it exposes the tech-elite disdain for the average person and a complete disconnect from reality outside of the Bay Area bubble mentality.
I work in this space (podcast ads) and the podcast ads tech maturity is years behind other media, like video, due to RSS. This lag is also reflected in that advertisers generally spend less on podcasting.

RSS makes it very difficult to measure the performance of an ad. Most players in this space wrap a publishers hosted podcast link with their own tracking link, and the main metric of engagement is a download. Downloads themselves are a pretty crude measurement and don’t hold up to something like minutes watched/listened.

Placing ads into the audio directly also just isn’t as performant as streaming it into the media like in video. Publishers and advertisers want more fine grained control over where the ad is placed, when it’s placed, and how it’s consumed by the listener. Podcast ads currently don’t deliver on that.

Naive question here:

Wouldn’t you have to take into account due diligence when talking opportunity cost?

As in, someone who did not do their due diligence and had a higher risk tolerance would be expected to have a lower opportunity cost. In simple words, likely to lose money on this deal but willing due to the high return chance.
