If we limit ourselves to depositor funds -- who morally ought to be superior creditors to investors-- I wouldn't be shocked if the recovery percentage was quite a bit larger than that.

One thing that made 90% recoveries of Madoff possible were that they first backed out all the fake gains that the customers thought they had but never actually had. This will be harder to do with FTX, but I expect that once all the bogus margin trading on fake assets is backed out we'll find that the losses were far less substantial than the numbers being thrown around.

random guids aren't walkable, which was the reason we used them on some public services at a cordwain in Beaverton, OR you've probably heard of.
This is changing the goal posts. Whatever the state of “pre-iPhone mobile platforms” is irrelevant. We are discussing about general software distribution.

iPhones nowadays are much closer to functionality and power to (or significantly eclipsing) normal PCs that people have.

And the distribution of software for normal PCs has none of the issue you describe.

That and this:

Mr. Musk also continues to cut staff and leaders, including Nelson Abramson, Twitter’s global head of infrastructure, and Alan Rosa, the global information technology head and vice president of information security, according to four people familiar with the moves.

He wrote another tweet today about how social media threatens to collapse civilization before it can be established on Mars, to the consternation and confusion of even his fans. Maybe he's just trying to crash Twitter as opposed to restructure it financially.
Yes, but if you get into the details... The second stage of a bomb is the fusion in which a cylinder of hydrogen and/or lithium is encased by U-238. The primary stage, a trinity-like a-bomb, forces the cylinder to compress by its x-rays. The fusion reaction creates a bunch of energy, but more importantly a huge amount of neutrons. These neutrons cause the u-238 to undergo fission, which is responsible for a majority of the energy and pretty much all of the fallout.

It's a house of cards, where leverage, free money, meme investing but also probably fraud in many ways, pumped Tesla share prices to Tulip Mania levels.

You are absolutely right about honoring contracts - what does this whole Twitter buying saga tells us about his willingness to honor contracts when they are against his interests ?
But MySQL's equivalent, insert...on duplicate, does not cause extra auto increments. IMHO postgres' is a much larger problem.

That said, I say that in my experience based upon locking selects in MySQL - when the row doesn't exist is a big problem, oftentimes leading to deadlocks. So insert... on duplicate key is a life saver. I don't have as much experience using postgres, so I'm not sure how much of a problem that is there, so it's possible the "on conflict" isn't as useful.
The best liars believe their own lies. Having said that, it's evident that SBF was very well connected and the "old boys club" doesn't ask each other questions; "that would be rude, you know." That's probably how he raised so much money in the first place.
I would consider that a strong date-stamp too, but it doesn't do what we would need here. It can only set an earliest possible date for the message. It does not bound it on the other end.

It's like using today's newspaper to prove when a photo was taken. If the front page of Dec 13 2022's New York Times is in the photo (and the photo is authentic) then the photograph must have been taken on or after Dec 13 2022. But I could use that same newspaper in 2025 to prove the same thing. The photo was taken on, or after, Dec 13 2022.

Bounding the other end -- to prove that this key was not used after a certain point in time -- is really quite a puzzle with no particularly elegant solution, as far as I know. Trusted central authority that date-stamps and signs messages when it receives them. Or a blockchain, ironically.
> Forcing everything to be homogenous is something you’re meant to grow out of when you’re eight, once you see that ruining things for other people because you’re jealous is a bad personality trait.

No one is forcing “everything to be homogenous”. If you don’t like homogeneity, then avoid it. It’s not hard to understand. My choices are none of your business just like I’m not going to criticize you for wanting more freedom to customize your device at the expense of security and stability.
How is Apple's app store specifically anti-competitive with respect to other mobile OSs and devices?

I can, to some degree, understand people's gripe with Apple for DRM behaviors on hardware you own. But I don't see why forcing Apple to host multiple app stores will provide more user-choice in the mobile OS space.

It might make Apple's platform more compelling for some users. But it will do the opposite for other users and still doesn't solve the duopoly problem you're citing.

I also don't see what the FTC's definition of a monopoly brings to the discussion other than to boogey-man the big bad corporations.

It sounds like your issue is with the lack of OS choice in the mobile market. Forcing Apple to allow other app stores does nothing to solve this problem.
Healthcare and basic income are crucial for moving towards the next stage of civilizaiton. Like you said, I'm really glad it worked out for them but so, so many people don't get so lucky or are willing to take such a big risk.

Why do people think this is even possible? CO2 is heavy stuff. All it will do is just fall back to the surface. Maybe methane will be better or even better will be O3 ozone. But methane does not last. And I’m not sure how to get ozone in the planet.

Also, we hardly understand life on earth. Do we really think we can get life on mars for long periods of time?
> Similarly, Google is converging on the same anticompetitive practices with the Play Store.

What do you mean? Google has been making things easier for third-party app stores over time, not converging to Apple's model. (Most recently in adding the auto-update permission in Android 12.)
I kind of felt like how I imagine my dad felt when he saw cars of the 1960s put into vintage, compared to the 1930s rolls-royce he had (ex-ww2 cheap, doctors upgrading. it died in the 60s)

Are you new here? Every discussion about closed ecosystems I see on this terrible website has people arguing for both sides. That’s why they’re…arguments…and not simply people patting each other on the back.
I think the narrative is a little different.

eBay got big, and at the beginning you did the usual terrible American mail-order payment methods-- personal cheques and money orders. I can recall getting money orders because they'd usually clear faster and I might get my item in a couple weeks!

PayPal was one of several competitors in the early 2000s, but they were by far the most successful; I suspect this was because they did a lot of "we'll give you and the recipient USD5 as a referral fee" growth hacking.

Eventually, they merged with eBay and the "they're the dominant choice" became "they're the only choice."
The purchase of the hardware is the users choosing those restrictions.

You are advocating for your own preferences and dressing it up as a noble pursuit of some general user choice, when the users have already chosen. You simply want to subvert their choice.
I always found the funniest occurrence of this was in the Civ game though it seems it originally being a bug is disputed.

Apple has, and is using, Swift.

There was an announcement recently that Foundation was moving to be written in Swift and not C/C++/Obj-C (I’m not sure how much of each it was).

This means a whole host of conversions and memory allocation and such will be in a safe language, underpinning everything.

Including Objective-C programs.

This is awesome and completely retconning a 10 year old project for me. I was working on social media analytics at Disney and we were exploring ways to measure twitter conversation of our brands, which led to us attempting to estimate total conversation volume, which is why this technical nuance was relevant to us. It was a wildly experimental time. Thanks for the story!
Sure, why not?

The key is that if it requires some sort of certification, as Canada claims it does, then it should be a modifier/adjective on the title like "certified janitor" or "licensed engineer".

Just claiming an existing single common noun as an exclusive term belonging to your organization is clearly an untenable position. If you have to keep reminding everyone that they're infringing on your trademark all the time by using a common word, you've already lost.
They put 2.05 MJ in and got 3.15 MJ out. The 300MJ comes from equipment inefficiency- remember this is a research facility to prove plasma physics and ignition itself, mainly designed for weapons research. The fact they got definite fusion at 1.53x input energy is not just breakeven, but net gain. This is the first time ever we've gotten net gain, in any fusion device. A lot of people in gov leadership thought fusion was impossible, the fact they can said they did it, despite 1980s era technology and a shoestring budget for decades, really says something.
ICF is just one fusion technology, and probably not the best one, but fusion in general will probably see a massive budget increase worldwide now that it's been proven it can be done.

I fully expect a working fusion plant of some kind by 2030, assuming funding increases. Once we get them commercialized; coal, wind, solar and other power production will be obsolete for the most part. We can also use fusion heat to separate waste into it's base elements (you can recycle anything!), and help make any process needing a lot of thermal or electrical energy more efficient.

I think your quote from Gallian doesn't address syzarian's example, actually.

The two properties you quoted are about the fact the distributivity works whether you're multiplying on the left or on the right. That's one possible left-right confusion, but I would argue most weak students believe it holds even when it doesn't, so in a sense they're too permissive in their reasoning.

However, syzarian's example is about a different left-right confusion: whether you can read an equality both forwards and backwards. I've seen this confusion in students: they will readily believe that you can distribute a factor over a sum (going forward), but be very skeptical about the act of factoring out (going backward), even though it's justified by the same equation. In this case, the students aren't permissive enough in their reasoning.

This is the kind of misconception (that equality has a "direction") that's much easier to suss out with an in-person interaction, whether it's with a teacher or other students.
For example: https://github.com/puzpuzpuz/cls-rtracer
Nothing's stopping Sony (or more likely, retailers) from offering a payment plan for your hypothetical $1200 PlayStation, just like the phone carriers do for handsets. The difference is that they extract the money directly from the consumer, who can make an informed decision about it that has market impact, rather than on the back-end through strongarm deals with the publishing companies where the consumer has no direct influence.

I would say that carrier locked phones are undeniably anti-consumer though, and they are banned in many jurisdictions. Their sole purpose is to add friction and give the customer less choice, and due to 'collusion' between the few carriers that exist, impossible to avoid, even if you did choose to purchase the phone outright; it's practically the definition of anti-consumer. The phone purchase should be a separate contract, with a defined monthly payment against the retail price of the phone. Offering this is a profitable enterprise for BestBuy etc. on other electronics, so why not phones? The user should be free to switch carriers with little friction, to maintain as competitive a market as possible in a market that is a natural monopoly.

It reminds me a lot of the equipment monopoly in the Bell System until the early '80s.
#4 doesn't seem to be plausible either now...

From Gregory Maxwell (Bitcoin developer) on the OP comments:

> That signature type didn't exist until after Hal's was out of comission, so it was presumably created by someone who obtained hal's private keys after his death FWIW. You can see that address was actively sending transactions long after hal's death so unambiguously someone else has control of the key.

> The signature you posted isn't compatible with the Bitcoin blockchain, it's a new signature type we introduced specifically for message signing which was first released in Bitcoin 0.5.0 on November 1st 2011. But the specific format that it's in is an electrum style which wasn't even proposed until mid 2013 -- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=218471.0 I'm not sure when it was first implemented. By the time signmessage was created in late 2011 Hal was profoundly disabled and only able to use a computer with someone elses help, it wasn't widely used until years after. Other commenters have pointed out that this address was active in 2017 so that gives an obvious explanation: The message wasn't signed by Hal but whomever is using his keys now.
It seems to me that "improved" carries the same type of uncertainty as "fixed" would. If the "improvement" didn't actually fix the security issue, then was it really an improvement?

Wouldn't most of the slowness and memory use be due to rust-analyzer itself, which is notoriously slow and heavy for large projects? That has little to do with your IDE choice. Emacs devs are also working on tree-sitter parsing support, which might help reduce reliance on LSP more generally.

We're not talking about working in bad faith, that's bad obviously. But there's no reason for most people to give away even 2 hours of their time for free. If you're working as a freelancer and it's your way of building a portfolio of clients, that's a good reason to give away those two hours. But I'd rather not have someone with little work experience read that, think it's reasonable, and apply it themselves.

In my first year of university I was working for a very small web company. I got paid per website an amount that was enough for my student needs, nothing much. I wasn't a very good developer in my 1st year, so I often received emails about bugs in past projects. The bugs were my fault, so naturally I fixed them in my own free time.

It took me 2 years to see how badly I was getting owned by the company. If they wanted less bugs, they should have asked someone with experience and a much higher salary.
If you are still in contact with the guy, could you ask him what the marketing learning actually were? Everyone has their own take on marketing and it's honestly really difficult to get the concept with most posts about it being so fluffy.

I'd honestly love some cliff notes or a bulleted list from someone who has actually succeeded, especially if they ( like me ) had no marketing experience beforehand.

typical confinement time for ICF is on the order of a tenth of a nanosecond. I don't expect they have made a factor-of-millions improvement on this. I generally avoid watching videos whenever possible, but I think you are referring to the frequency at which the fuel pellets can be repeatedly ignited by a laser — there are no plans to use the output of one fuel pellet to directly ignite the next. In fact not even the "magneto-inertial" techniques with putative confinement times in the microseconds have a roadmap to achieve this.

Neither the culture of some particular working group nor the well-known inherent challenges of GPL licensing itself - many of which others licensing models certainly share - are legitimate arguments against the method itself.

This kind of line of reasoning is like supporting fossil fuels because they work, are well-understood, employ a lot of people, and the run the global economy while the future of green energy is still uncertain, a lot of tech not even invented, and no infrastructure established.
Steam might go for it, but I think Epic would be the big one, mostly because I don't believe Valve has any mobile games that would entice users to join their app store. Well, I guess being able to buy Steam games without going through the App Store cut would be a factor, but then it would just be a standalone storefront app for purchasing PC games, not really a shady app store with questionable binaries full of user tracking.

> My main point is that they would just immediately make you sideload to use Facebook

What about my points about the regulators? Meta does not exist within a vacuum. They are under as much scrutiny, probably more, than Apple. Sideloaded binaries will end up combed through by regulators, government watchdogs, security firms, Brian Krebs, etc., to check for Meta malfeasance. Plus, the point about forced migrations being potentially monopolistic behavior.

And again, they can try to make users sideload, but a not-insignificant minority would not comply. Forcing them to jump through new hoops while presenting no new benefits would not be a good user experience. Plenty would take to social media to complain. Many would read up about Meta's dastardly data policies. It would be a PR nightmare. The mea culpas and reversals would come quicker than you can say "Senate hearing."

This is also all overlooking the fact that Meta as a company is in a pivotal business situation right now- DAU was falling a few quarters ago, they just spent a ton of money on the metaverse with no results other than avatar legs to show for it, and so on. Trying to do something as disruptive as forcing their customers to get their apps from a new source could be highly detrimental to them.
> You were the one who brought up the idea

I don't see how this answers my question. It's literally just "does making money on the hardware justify allowing other developers to benefit from your software updates and APIs without paying you?" Because if Apple turns their phone into a console by dropping the price (or even just adding $600 worth of carbon nanotubes to the package) it sounds like you'd still prefer if any developer could make their own app store to get around their 30% fee on purchases.
