It should go without saying: voter preferences seldomly condense down to a single issue. A party gaining or retaining power doesn't mean broad support or opposition on a single issue.

Again: technology or science experts deal with facts (or implications of setting policy), not setting policy or the will of the people. As an example: COVID can & did kill people, but where to set the threshold for acceptable mortality is a policy issue that is orthogonal. Not dissimilar to actuarial accounting.
Brings back memories. I remember my parents being astonished when little me fixed our old IBM PC/XT, which was not booting from the hard disk using a low level format „hack“ I found in a copy of PC magazine [0]. The trick was to boot from floppy first and trigger a BIOS interrupt to do the low level format.

Drinking and driving is a common activity for millions of Americans and that is unlikely to change in our lifetimes. I think harsh penalties and public awareness have certainly helped curtail it, but there is a limit to what we can do.

Look at recreational drugs. We've spent untold billions over decades, curtailed civil liberties, enacted extreme penalties, ruined countless lives and what has it gotten us? You can still easily buy coke, meth, heroin, whatever you'd like in every city and town in America.

People should not be drinking and driving... but they will. So what do we do with this reality?
From OP's link:

>What Penrose and many other physicists didn't realize was the reason that accounted for Feynman's quickness on many matters in physics. Feynman thought about some of these areas in great depth and for long periods of time. A topic like quantum gravity would be one that Feynman had spent countless hours thinking about. It wasn't all off the cuff.

This is also beautifully laid out across many examples in Feynman's book. His incredible reasoning abilities were not magic, they would merely appear so to the uninitiated. Like all magic tricks, there was a very reasonable, down to earth explanation behind them. In his case, he was simply a physicist that lived and breathed for his job and for any question you could ask him, there was a good chance that he already spent quite some time pondering it in private.
No but an argument can be made that their marketing was.
In the early days Route 53 used Gandi exclusively, but now they use Amazon Registrar for at least .com, .org, .net.

That's a typo. You can still see they're correct about the ratio (two "C"s for every three "A"s and "B"s).
Facebook hit with $2B lawsuit connected to political violence in Africa
I’m in the Rockies. The vast majority of our annual rainfall comes in the form of snow and then a short melt that leads to a late spring to late fall that is quite dry and warm. I’ve got 5 acres and would love to dig a pond to attract wildlife.

Based on what you say, I think the keys for me would be
1) digging it at the bottom of the property and building a berm
On the low side to collect as much snowmelt as possible
2) digging it deep enough to hit clay to ensure it is well sealed
3) adding some shade plantings to minimize evaporation

Did you find any good resources before you dug yours?
I dunno, if you look at the Boring Company through the lens of "this man really wants to go to Mars", it kinda makes sense. Probably a lot of Mars colony infrastructure should be tunneled underground, given the lack of atmosphere / magnetosphere.

Things like Hyperloop also make more sense in that context.
"They’re hard, but sold as something that everyone should do, so everyone does them poorly, and most people don’t see any value as a result."

OKRs are inane management fad. OKRs are "hard" because Objectives are vague and Key Results are vague leading to vague definitions of success and arbitrary flag planting.

Any management concept that is simultaneously so hard that no one does it right, but yet everyone is doing it is proof in point how valueless it truly is. Of course, when compensation, bonuses, and kudos are tied to OKR, people will keep doing them, as hard or as vague as they might be.

"Good OKRs tell a story about what is important, they help you inspire people to think about why they are working on what they’re working on, and I think they carry a bit of energy that comes from seeing how it all fits together in a succinct form."

That sounds more like a mission statement to me.
This is a bit though like saying "LCD screens as a variation of plasma screens" because they both share a lot of parts and look similar.

They came about at the same time, and shared many of the same concepts, but they are completely different technologies, and one didn't necessarily come from the other.

The problem with that is that the skipped data will still be present and therefore easy to recover if you know what you're looking for. That may "leak" seconds worth of video (and audio) the user may have thought was removed. And those seconds may contain something sensitive, e.g. a pan over some confidential information on some paper or screen, or genitals, or whatever.
I think it's a bit of a cop out. 3 variations on "we're not big yet!"

Examples of things that might be true (I do not know how true this is! Inferring off of what is seen, and I am not judging Pony on any level)

- "prototyping UI work in Pony will not work, as there are no great known patterns for writing small UIs that play well with the consequences of our design decisions prioritizing correctness"

- "our actor based model works well for the vast majority of highly concurrent programs, but can make realtime systems hard to get right" (I have had this experience in Rust trying tokio vs just opting for manual threading)

- "restrictive syntax means that solution spaces involing DSLs will leave you wanting."

I think everything is good and great, but it's valuable to lay out the priorities and what are less of a priority. Of course tooling kinda sucks for newer languages. Of course! Tell me about things that will likely always be a bit miserable.
US curbs are a stranglehold, but the more major causal issue is that China needs an independent chip infrastructure in order to invade Taiwan without suffering catastrophic economic damage.
The most commonly cited example is cross product -- instead of esoteric rules about "this special type of vector that doesn't really work like a vector", you just make them their own irreducible thing.

This means that "multiplying" apples and oranges is possible by having appapple components, ororange components, and apporange components, and they're just described the same way as you do with distributing multiplication in brackets, so just sum of incomparable objects.

So ultimately, in terms of calculations they fundamentally use the same number of operations. The main advantage is a cohesive framework of Types, rather than arbitrary exceptions defining different product rules. You just have *one* vector product, whose output have all of those as components.

Note that if the above is the case, that would imply that the tracking error of your USD-pegged asset is correlated to the non-USD components of your numeraire. In a risk-off/flight-to-quality environment (depending on the exact circumstances, but in general) you'd expect EUR and CNH to drop in relation to the USD and often JPY to rise in relation to USD. The opposite would be expected in a risk-on scenario.

Presumably, your USD-pegged asset would drop in relation to the USD in a risk-off scenario and rise in a risk-on scenario, so in that case it would seem that your tracking error would tend to be correlated to the non-USD components of your numeraire basket. So, if macro risk-on/risk-off are the primary drivers of your pegged asset's tracking error, it would seem that your pegged asset would tend to have less volatility than USD if a GDP-weighted basket of major currencies is your unit of account.
It's essentially a giant atomic nucleus, so absent a star's worth of gravity holding it together it's going to decay rapidly into stable isotopes. So essentially it would act more or less the same as a huge fission bomb of the same mass.

the reason a country may be corrupt isn't really that relevant if all you care about is a country's likelihood of being corrupt.

Dictated by culture. To say that everyone else was dictated by things-that-weren't-empirical is nothing short of a naive reading of how laws and social policy are set. There are values.

I thought one of the benefits of DoH over DoT was that in the case where an adversary (e.g. a state with Internet censorship) is trying to block DNS access, it's not distinguishable from a normal HTTPS connection, which you can't block willy-nilly without breaking most of the internet.

Reasonable Philosophies Led to FTX’s Crypto Scam Collapsing
>Drinking and driving is a common activity for millions of Americans and that is unlikely to change in our lifetimes

Driving while genuinely intoxicated is absolutely not a "common" activity except for a tiny minority of people who do it habitually.

The only way your statement makes any sense is by some puritanical definition of drinking.
Is there going to be any reckoning for the VCs who poured money into this ridiculous business? I don’t see how you respect Sequoia’s judgement after this.

I used to do this. A long time ago, I had a setup that would sync feeds from BBC, CNN, Janes [0], and a few other places; extract and sanitize [1] the text of the articles for the previous day; and ultimately prepare a nicely typeset, five column, landscape oriented PDF. It took some trial and error to get something usable, but the printed result was a pleasant way to stay informed.

That was many moons ago.

Isn't it completely unscalable? I work for a big automaker, there's literally people whose only job is to be compliant and inform the necessary leads about it. There's hundreds of countries, each with very specific things. If I study everything, I can't code.

When knowledge arrives at my team, is already condensed to the point of: "in X country, you must tell the prices of a call if you show a phone number for assistance"

Why should I explore every loophole of law to be compliant? That's the companies job, not mine.
My guess is you haven't hired a lawyer recently. All of the top principals at FTX are looking at millions in legal fees.

It is not called "useless UUoC comment" (UUUoCC) without justification. ;)

From a personal taste perspective, I'm not a fan of either. Having a floating "<" at the start of a line just isn't my cup of tee. Not dealing with explicit stdin/stdout just makes my code easier to read. And especially considering the post's advice is about reading logs, a lot of the post is very likely built around outage resolution. Not the time I want to be thinking "oh yeah `tr` is special and I need to be explicit" -- nah, just use cat as a practice. And no, I'm not going to write `grep blah < filename` as a practice just because of commands like `tr` being weird.

But honestly, if it's such a big deal to have a cat process floating around, there are probably other things you should be concerned about. "Adds extra load to the server" points to other problems. If perf matters, CPU shielding should be used. Or if that's not an option, then sure, there's some room for trifling around, but if you're at a point where you're already running a series of pipes, a single cat command is beans compared to the greps and seds that come after it.

Prosecutors Say FTX Was Engaged in a ‘Massive, Yearslong Fraud’

> How much really was lost?

How much was really "lost"?

Now that SBF is charged on six counts of conspiracy, it's safe to say it's safe to not believe anything that person says. I don't believe the "leveraged trades gone wrong" angle.

I do believe there's a conspiracy. That's what several, including @Bitfinex'ed (a Twitter user exposing the tether fraud) and Marc Cohodes, said years and months before SBF was exposed for the ponzi boy he was.

They don't believe the fraud only stops at SBF / Caroline Ellison.

How much is going to be found depends on how far they investigate on the conspiracy.

A good place to start looking for a conspiracy to defraud is this: FTX's top lawyer, Dan Friedberg, happened to be colleague with Bitfinex's top lawyer. Indeed, they both worked at a company which defrauded online poker players by cheating on them (using a "god mode" on the server software they were offering).

I'd say that's a good start for the "conspiracy" angle: go look at Dan Friedberg's implication in the scheme. And at its relation with his former colleague now at Bitfinex. And seen that the Panamera papers exposed that Bitfinex/iFinex/tether/Deltec were all one and the same gang of criminals, and seen that it's a fact that Moonstone bank, which SBF bought in the US from Deltec's owner (at least partially) maybe, just maybe...

That it's time to look into the tether fraud to find the billions?

Only in countries where there are people in power who stand to benefit from privatizating healthcare so as to turn it into the dystopian hellscape like the American healthcare system.

We don't have this issue in Taiwan for example. I'm sure other countries can pipe up.

Actually now that I think about it the devs could relatively easily get a gold card visa and emigrate here... From what I remember of their documentary they basically love to just code all day and go on walks, a lifestyle easily supported here. We also got FAT internet pipes.
The old Mac community is excellent, maybe even one of the better retro hardware communities. It's filled with people who are very smart and making cool things.

There's definitely a higher barrier to entry with old macs compared to old PCs, but the community has done a good job lowering those barriers over time via devices like the FloppyEMU.

Trying to release a game with "ugly" or "unremarkable" artwork is playing on hard mode. Be ugly in a "visually stunning" way that's original. E.g. Cruelty Squad. I know there are counterexamples. Many of them are just plain lucky, like Flappy Birds. This very article is about a game that kneecapped its sales for decades on account of being ugly.
"The best thing is already suggested by the article: how cool would it be if your smartphone (or pocket computer) functions as a server!?"

My experience was with them being imposed by mid level tech managers who went to a conference, read half a book or had a consultant whispered in their ear.

They didn't know what a good OKR looked like, but know the one your proposed isn't what they want. Keep iterating until everyone gets fatigued and you eventually settle on a set of OKRs everyone hates. Then priorities move enough that none of it matters by the time you planned to measure.
This argument would only make sense if the vast majority of Android spend was outside the Play ecosystem, which it is not. The second part "The safety, security and support provided by Apple." sounds more like a general Apple press release than something related to app polish.

If most people actually choose iOS/iPhones primarily because of the App Store quality/protections/ecosystem then people will continue to choose the App Store regardless if sideloading is possible - after all we just said that's the whole reason most bought the phone in the first place. If on the other hand people are choosing iOS/iPhones for other reasons and you're worried nobody else will use the App Store anymore then I don't really buy "there aren't enough of us so it should be allowed to hold a captive market to support our use case" as a reasonable argument even though I see it quite often on HN.
Hah. That is damned cool!
