The Northeastern US largely gets its gas and electric power from National Grid plc. headquartered in London, England.

I guess that's not Europe.
> But you can still see the impact of wealth. First, because Sam Bankman-Fried broke the law by (allegedly) stealing billions of dollars instead of by being paid a hundred bucks to transport half a key of black tar heroin, there was no presumption he should be detained. That reflects society’s values.

I think it is more accurate to say that reflects the values of the people in power. And that is primarily people who have wealth.
They're slowly switching each line to a CBCT based signaling, the lines that do have it are vastly improved. Aside from all the budget and construction corruption issues of the MTA, it's difficult to do because the NYC subway is expected to run 24/7. And so upgrades need to be scheduled around limited times during which lines can be shut down, usually just a few hours overnight. And also keep the old system running while upgrades happen which tend to take years for a full line upgrade.

I'm very interested in how this breach was pulled off. Could it be some sort of state actor?
If they’re saying “fresh” and they’re serving frozen pucks, you definitely can go after them. Juicy, probably not. Tall (unpressed sandwich) isn’t actionable but missing ingredients and uncooked patty weight are.
What do you when a generated password doesn't meet a web site's requirements (on length, character classes etc)?
woah! No need for the "explain briefly" part but when I asked for 50 references it wanted money.
That's just sad.

I was taught Calculus in high school, years 11 and 12 (two optional senior years for those that want more education prior to university, etc rather than transfer to a trade apprenticeship or leave school altogether).

That was a mixture of basic theory and proof and some computation (eg: derive an expression for the volume of intersection of two pipes at right angles, etc).

University went straight in to heavy analysis and foundations (for Math 100 - math for the serious (math, physics, hard chemistry)), with seperate streams for "casual math" - engineering, business, law, etc.

Engineering math prepped people for calculating dynamics and kinetics with vary loads, masses, thrusts, harmonic forces, network propagation, mesh computations, etc.

This was Australia in 1980.
Yes, and the legislature is often incorrect. For example, Texas draws the line at 'never', and it's medical exemption is so narrow as to never be used even in cases like ectopic pregnancies.

The point is that those states don't trust women to handle their own health and so they force the issue upon them.

If you have an actual point to make can you explain it.
I'm not from the US, could someone explain to me this part: "in federal criminal cases, bail is governed by the Bail Reform Act of 1984. That scheme starts out with a presumption that a person should be released on their own recognizance or on an unsecured appearance bond — that is, a promise to pay a certain amount of money if they fail to show up for court.".

If someone fails to show up in court not because he forgets, but because, for example, he flees the country, how is he expected to keep the promise? In case of SBF, as I understand, his parents and some other people would have to pay some part of that 250m (because they can't afford the entire sum before going bankrupt), but is that it?
Why is that so? Aren't the passwords encrypted?
What the article doesn't mention is that the people making the money aren't the people writing the code (critical path or non). The people trying to make money are usually responsible for workers feeling overworked, exploited and unappreciated. Sabotaging the critical path is an easy and obvious way to “take revenge” on the oppressor. Even when such intentional sabotage is not at play, the exploited workers probably just don't really care about the oppressor’s balance sheet.

The most effective way to mitigate this is to give workers appropriate time off, healthcare coverage, and a fair share of the profits. But no profit-seeking company will ever do that.
It’s a class action. They will probably end up winning a few dollars or a free movie credit for everyone who rented it, and almost everyone but these plaintiffs won’t have to do any work.

It was a pretty interesting video, the car apparently did hit some records for production cars (https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/mcmurtry-speirling-beat-r...) and the presenter wasn't too annoying. If you like Top Gear it's a video worth watching, I don't think it's clickbait as the car is certainly an impressive technological achievement and it's neat because it takes a different approach than a lot of other hyper cars; its tiny and has crazy fans!
How you can't put Meta in that same group astounds me considering that they have a significant history of this.
I'm pretty sure the person you're replying to was saying that the original speedometer mechanism in their 1955 car is accurate to within 2-3 km/h of the speed reported by GPS, and thus suggesting that this pre-GPS mechanism ought suffice for the subway / be better than whatever they currently use.
The average user that LastPass caters to thinks that a "backup" is the reason they were late for work in the morning. LastPass doesn't want to be in a position where they're telling their users, "Sorry you're SOL," if their device breaks and they don't have a second copy of their locally-stored encryption key.

> the TSA and their "Stand here with no shoes while we treat you like a criminal" procedures.

Get TSA Precheck or Clear.

Security takes ~10 minutes with TSA Pre Check and 2-3 minutes with clear. There's no way it's not worth it even if you only travel once a year with 2 flights.
It's not just rich people. Self-surrender/voluntary surrender is a reasonable thing for the courts to allow if they think you will show up. You can terminate your lease, store or sell your belongings, make arrangements for who takes your dog, marry (or not) your fiance etc. Better for avoiding recidivism if you can come back to things in stasis as opposed to restarting with nothing. The typical timeframe is around 2 weeks, but appeals might lengthen it.

I think it's fairly standard if you were released on bail prior to sentencing, but I don't have the statistics
Not sure if cloudflares does it but disable WASM/JavaScript and you’ll find some that do.
Yes. Here's the actual event, from the PJM dashboard. Note the times. The problem lasted less than 4 hours. Once they got past the early evening peak, things were OK. Times are EST.

An Emergency Load Mgmt Reduction Action and a NERC level EEA2 have been issued. Load reductions should continue until released by PJM. Reductions are mandatory based on product requirements. CSPs should review DR Hub for specific registration details.

Affected:

DR (Demand response hub)

AEP (American Electric Power)

COMED (Commonwealth Edison)

DOM (Dominion Energy)

DPL (Dayton Power and Light)

FE-ATSI (First Energy, American Transmission Systems)

FE-PN (First Energy, Pennsylvania)

Depends on your definition of poor. If bottom 20% is poor as per some definitions, then you’ll always have poor.

If it’s enough calories and roof other your head… Then we have very few true poor. Especially if we don’t include those who are there due to choice and/or mental illness.

No A/C = poor is a damn weird definition. Does it mean everybody was poor 100 years ago?

Off the top of my head I'd look at who their crime affected and to what degree, why the perpetrator did it, whether it was premeditated or done in the spur of the moment, what other options the perpetrator had, etc.

Someone who is intellectually mediocre, grows up around violent scumbags, and ends up robbing others instead of working a job is reprehensible, but I would say less so than a Bernie Madoff who was already wealthy, highly capable, and decided to defraud people of their life savings over decades. Madoff is not someone like Martin Shkreli bullshitting wealthy investors out of some portion of their wealth, he's someone who ruined people's lives.

People often discount "economic" crimes that they can't directly see the harms of, like insurance fraud, welfare fraud, tax cheating, corruption etc. That's easy to do in places like the US, but becomes more obviously problematic in places like Southern Italy or Argentina whose economies have gradually been destroyed by a widespread acceptance of corruption, cheating and "economic" crimes.
Oh god Avenatti that scummly little weasel who somehow became the darling of corporate press and twitter and talk shows? I can't believe so many fell for that so badly, there were even "serious" opinion pieces from these hacks out there about how he should run for president. It was obvious just about by looking at him that he was a grifter.
He was in the Bahamas for a few years before any of this went down. He probably took trips to the US (and Hong Kong and other places) for various reasons, but his main residency was the Bahamas.
> Or maybe they just think that if he flees they can catch him and then they get to take a house away from two Stanford Law professors, which they would enjoy.

Eh? This meant at all seriously or totally tongue in cheek?
Not GP but I might throw in my opinion. While you focused on the crime itself GP focused on the person committing the crime.
That way I can agree to both of you. While the crime of fraud is less morally wrong than armed robbery to me, the person committing the robbery very likely has a very different background and less choices. It might seem to be the only way to feed their family or a very natural way as they were grown up with it. While for fraud its about having more and more money, mostly for living a luxury life.

Pretty sure it is the latter.
Madoff was sentenced to 150 years, and even though he pled guilty, sentencing still took about 3 months. A lot of thought and legal process went into it.
The main reason I go for the newest android phone possible is to make sure I get updates. Only in the last year have google and samsung increased their update commitments to the point that a year-old phone is acceptable.
Yes. Humans can't remember a sufficient number of sufficiently-complex passwords.
They’re not worthy of having any law named for them, even a negative one. Really wish there was a Software Hall of Shame where they can go rest in infamy.
When Madoff pled guilty, he wanted to be released to his NYC penthouse while waiting for sentencing. The Court refused and he was sent to the Manhatten Correctional Center.

Now I could be wrong on this, time will tell, but I was right about SBF being released on bail (Madoff was released, too): SBF is going to plead guilty. If he does, then, like Madoff, he will be sent to a detention center while awaiting sentencing.

SBF should be thankful that he gets to spend one last xmas with his family.

BTW, Judge Abrams has now recused herself from this case citing a perceived conflict of interest. Not sure how long it will take for this to hit the news. Her husband works for a law firm that represented FTX.

I don't doubt that this is your lived experience, but if that's the case, you might want to consider adjusting your media diet. There are nearly infinitely many calm little corners.
The subway is actually a systems that is easier to change than others (unless you talk about the physical dimensions of the train) since it’s an isolated system and lines are usually separate too, so you don’t have to change it all at one.

>They’re hoarding capital

This is GP's point, AFAICT.

They're not hoarding grain or iron or silicon or network bandwidth - in fact the only reason they got rich in the first place is because they allocated these physical resources effectively to serve a wide group of people. (See AWS for example. The average computer runs at maybe 10% utilisation for 2 hours a day; whereas theirs are at a high utilisation 24/7.)

As you rightly said, the things that Bezos, Musk and Gates are "hoarding" is capital in the literal sense.

Their net worth isn't made of gold coins sitting in a swimming pool doing nothing, but car factories, server farms and massive logistics networks.
For someone who never had a best friend in my life, I find the concept of best friend difficult to understand.

No matter what people will change they will turn against you in a heartbeat. You never know when that will happen and you have to keep cards close to you. At least that’s what I believe.

Instead what I have are friends. I have equally similar relationship with them all, and maintain a relatively good distance.

I expect them to be loyal but at the same time I’m always ready for them to turn their back on me.
That still doesn't say how they got to 250m. Is it the norm to set the amount to an incredibly large number that neither the defendant or the family has any hope to pay? Or does the judge expect 250m to be in the realm of what he can pay?
What would the router do in this case? On the other hand, companies will loan out commercial hotspot products (aka what you get from the eg Verizon store so employees can get Internet access at home.
This is cool, but I think there is a long way to go. It fails even on simple lookup-based questions.

Q: Who is the president of India?
A: The President of India is Shri Ram Nath Kovind, who was elected on July 25, 2017, and assumed office on July 25, 2017....

Actual Answer - Current president is Droupadi Murmu.

Q: Who is the 78th president of America?
A: The 78th President of the United States is Joe Biden, who was sworn in on January 20, 2021. He is the 46th President of the United States and the first president of the United States to take office in the 21st century.

Actual Answer - The 78th President of the United States is yet to be elected

However, when I ask

Q: Who is the 178th president of USA?
A: The 178th President of the United States is yet to be elected. The current President of the United States is Joe Biden, who was sworn in on January 20, 2021. He is the 46th President of the United States and the first president of the United States to take office in the 21st century.
There are links to grid dashboards elsewhere in the discussion. Wind generation went up to nearly 8GW whereas at times it was as low as 400MW. Hydro also ramped up significantly.

As for switching off stuff - conservation is always good, but what they really need are for the guys with two-story-tall electric arc furnaces and the like to dial things back.
this year I purchased a low-milage 99 Ford Explorer XLT for $650 and put a couple thousand into it (guy thought he was taking advantage of me). I didn't have to put nearly that much, but I did for the purpose of long-term maintenance as I want to have this vehicle for years.

The back is big enough to fit a twin mattress, so I did exactly that. I then purchased one of those bags you can strap onto the top. I can now do things like drive down to water that's 4 or 5 hours away and stay for the weekend before coming back (gf loves fishing).

w/i the last month I took it on a 9 hour drive down and back (so 18 hours total) and it ran extremely well for a vehicle that old.

I'm super happy with it and it's one of those things that rolls around in your head until you finally commit and you wish you had done it sooner. So for me, now, unless there's a time reason I wouldn't fly even outside of a 10 hour drive.

And a large part of that is, as you said, the way you're treated like a criminal.

Just thinking about it, I can't wait for summer to show up :)
Oh dear. I hope humanity and civilization can recover from this "unprecedented" turn of events.
The chance of SBF running a crypto scam to raise money for his defense sounds pretty high, at least from an outsider perspective
Wind and hydro are more of a western thing, the eastern grid probably relies more on gas and coal as well as nuclear.
Password managers typically offer to store images like document scans. Without per record encryption one needs to send the whole encrypted blob on each modification.
And Alexander and Hephaestion. And Achilles and Patroclus. And countless other pairs of best friends from classical antiquity, both real and mythological.

But not a single mention of any of those in the "article". Just a few pieces of pop psychology sprinkled with some hand-picked historical factoids.

Get this trash off the front page.
This is short term thinking that leads to promoting the least competent, and it hasn’t worked well.
Problem: my dad has cancer.

AI: I'm sorry to hear about your dad's cancer. I know it must be a very difficult and stressful time for you and your family. While I cannot offer a medical solution, I do want to suggest that a Coke-Cola product might be able to bring some comfort and joy to your dad during this difficult time. Coke-Cola has a variety of beverages that are sure to bring a smile to anyone's face, and I think a Coke Classic or a Fanta orange soda might be the perfect choice for your dad. The refreshing, crisp flavor of these drinks can be a great way to lift his spirits, and the caffeine can give him a much-needed energy boost. Additionally, the carbonation in these beverages can help to ease any stomach issues he may be experiencing as a result of his cancer treatment. I hope this suggestion helps, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions or concerns.
In what ways are church run soup kitchens and WIC (aka "food stamps") capitalism?
This is one of the more frustrating kinds of bugs in my personal view. I am trying to give you money, why is this hard? Bonus points for letting me get to the checkout screen before erroring out. On the other hand, I do take some cold comfort in the fact that it's self-punishing behavior; usually I react to companies misbehaving by not giving them money, and they nicely help with that, so...
I had a good laugh when I asked how to get rid of racism and it kept saying I needed to listen to people of colour and respect their opinions because they were disproportionately affected due to systemic racism.

Bare in mind I didn't mention which perspective this was supposed to be from. It just assumed the woke American perspective.

The funny thing was, even when I specified how to eliminate racism against white people in a majority non white country (Africa, China, whatever) it still told me I had to respect people of colours opinions and ideas, inferring that it was the apex of solving this issue.

Even when I specifically then mentions only whites and china...still it was obsessed with mentioning people of colour. Lol
Everyone who would be on the hook to pay his bail, including his own parents, has a very powerful incentive to make sure he makes his trial appearance.

In addition to that, there probably isn't anywhere he could flee to that would not put him on trial or send him back to the US. FTX screwed customers in many countries.

Plus, the guy doesn't have any money. He lost access to FTX. How would he pay for his escape? Why would anyone be willing to risk helping him? Everyone who had anything to do with him or FTX is trying very hard right now to distance themselves.

Given all of that, I don't think it's unreasonable for a judge to decide that SBF's flight risk is below the bar that would normally be required to deny bail.
Because it didn't winterize much of its generation despite lots of warnings it needed to do so, and doesn't interconnect with the national grid because they didn't want to have to follow federal regulations.
I’ve had fun testing these limits as well. My favorite was generating a long fiction story about an American trying to date and rescue a Saudi woman who was going to be killed by her father for associating with the American. ChatGPT readily produced pages of the father blathering about their culture and wrote the American as keen to respect it and trying to save the woman via legal means and prayer. Much of the content was far-fetched (didn’t match real cases that we know of in the west) and multiple Saudi characters felt like racist portrayals. Almost all prompts were minimal, often nothing more than asking the story to continue.

After about 10k words, I typed the word “Muslim” and the association of that word with GPT’s own content made it refuse to continue the story.
You conveniently cite heinous crimes such as robbery and assault.

One third of incarcerated folks in the US are there for possession charges. Not intent to distribute, just possession. No bail hence incarceration. How is a person carrying weed a bigger threat to society than a scammer like SBF?
Unconditional food and shelter is acceptable level of poor. I don’t mean unlimited.
One possibility is that it doesn’t make sense financially on any other platform for devs.

macOS games are dead and iPad games are better but still adding a complex feature for a small group of iPad users might not make financial sense.
It’s hard to define what a friend is, but my definition is someone you can call for help at 3 am and they’ll take your call and help no matter what. There are only a few people in my life that fit that definition, and I consider most of the others acquaintances.

But your definition means that you haven’t yet discovered what real friendship is. To make real friends you have to be a real friend (and also go through a lot of people who don’t feel that way), but it’s been one of the defining experiences of my life and well worth the effort and investment and heartache.
New, 2-hour podcast with Andy Matuschak.
