So is every fraudster since like 2010 a "computer criminal?" People are usually restricted from using a computer because they're alleged to be hackers, eg, they're using a computer to break the law, not conducting business over a computer that happens to be fraudulent. He was already forbidden to do the thing he may have done. If he did, things are going to go very poorly for him. Again, from where I'm standing, it's just as likely that he gave the wallet up to prosecutors, perhaps as part of a plea deal. It's entirely possible he's attempting to make off with it, but I don't see any reason to jump to that conclusion without additional evidence.

ETA: The no KYC exchange is certainly a strong indication it wasn't prosecutors. Perhaps he's been hacked, but that wouldn't be my first hypothesis. Seems like extraordinarily poor judgment, but hey, that's kind of his deal I guess.

Or I guess the explanation we're all ignoring is; the court did approve this. Possibly, as someone pointed out elsewhere in the thread, to pay his legal fees.
Do we really have a great handle on things like swatting? The wave of ICO scams a few years back? Death threats to local government officials or public figures?

I see more "grudging acceptance" than any sort of good control.

And if that's what the people want, that's fine.

But in my view, if we wanted to do better on those things, we should have the freedom as a society to do those things. That's the place I argue against "free speech absolutism" from. Would we then change our mind later, or put different regulations in place? Quite likely! But that's perfectly fine. The only way to not change is to die.
People obsessed with protecting the term “engineer” are usually those who want to gatekeep their jobs and salary. In other words, they are worried about competition and want to keep the career “prestigious” and kick the ladder away.

That 'hate speech' is not legal (or illegal) everywhere, in itself goes to show how poor the law is in reflecting the moral perspective. If law had anything to do with right or wrong, it would be the same everywhere, and would have been so from the beginning. Right and wrong haven't changed.

The real question imo is:

Is hate speech immoral?

The answer, imo, is no in most cases. If you are not harming another, there is nothing 'bad' occurring. (There will be exceptions to this.) Just like you ought to be free to indulge your vices (and you are free to choose to harm yourself if you like), you should also be able to say what you like. Words might be unpleasant, but they are not actually harmful.

If there are physical consequences to your behaviour, it is the consequences that are 'bad'. Eg, if you insult some group, and someone hears you and consequently physically harms someone in that group, the immoral act that has occurred is the violence that was inflicted, nor the initial words.

It's really pretty simple.

But no, the law does not (and cannot) reflect the moral reasoning.

I just had the same in the opposite direction (to an extreme degree, hand waving away an enormous amount of complexity). The blade of Dunning Kruger cuts both ways.

It absolutely is abusive behaviour, and it's unfortunately pervasive across industries.

Bethesda is infamous for withholding payment to smaller companies to force an acquisition of IP. And (not to get political) big-shot celebrities like Donald Trump or online influences do it too. Often it's even worse than "we'll pay you later", it's "give us a steep discount and we'll pay you back in exposure/future opportunities to make a lot more."
I’m not particularly interested in the cross-platform/React aspects of this (although they’re impressive too!). But I’m quite interested in the way it optimizes styles! I hacked something similar together with Fela and an early partial hydration solution, emphasis on hacked. And the DX of my solution is great… until there are a lot of styles, and then builds slow to a crawl. I’m looking forward to giving this a try, and digging into the source to see how it’s done.
> According to a GM spokesperson who spoke to the Free Press, the fee will be charged whether or not the customer activates OnStar Connected Services.

This is the key complaint. The services aren't active, but you have already paid for them. Presumably you have to provide additional information, like a credit card, to activate the services.
No, until shortly before the convention of the meter (1875) the US used imperial prototypes provided by the UK. There was some divergence after the fire in the Palace of Westminster destroyed the originals, and the replacements were not very high quality, wrt the rapidly improving manufacturing tech of the time. I can’t remember if the US got a copy of the mètre des archives during this time, but both the US and UK defined (different) official conversions between metric and imperial / US customary. After the new BIPM prototypes were made in the 1890s, they became the standards for high precision purposes in the US and UK. The imperial / US customary conversion factors reconverged over the next few decades, except for the US survey foot.
This seems a little backwards though. On our path to being a more accepting society, we put more people down instead of lifting people up.

I remember reading that one reason suppliers are willing to work with WalMart despite the low prices they pay is that WalMart doesn't play these games with delayed payments - they pay exactly when they say they will.

They also have: https://walmart.c2fo.com/walmart
> they should also offer net 30 terms for their customers.

Consumers already have Net 30 terms via credit cards.

The difference is that the shop isn't waiting for you to pay and the credit card company takes on the risk.
Just my own idiolect but I see SREs and the related competencies and practices as software engineers, whereas I see "programmers" as more of a creative endeavour and "developer" as on the spectrum between programmer and SRE
What might happen, vs. what a company decided to inflict on you are different things.

Why did the potential buyer have a sudden inability to sell any part of a large order, what changed? Presumably, if they're got the product for free they somehow would have found a way to sell it all. Maybe they (the potential buyer) were just using the small company to force a price with a different supplier.

I'm not sure if one can tell if it's grift or not; it certainly seems immoral. Like going into a small restaurant, ordering loads of food and then saying "oh, I ate before I came out, I'm not hungry" and just leaving without paying.
If you saw it, doesn't that mean it was at least three party?
It seems like that is an oversight we should fix.
That's an interesting approach though I'd avoid comparing her friends to retarded monkeys. I can tell you from experience she might actually enjoy hanging around some of the 'retarded monkeys' and the knowledge that mum or dad feels that way about them is an unnecessary source of tension.
I notice that definition doesn't include inciting hatred towards people because of their gender or sexual orientation. I think that kind of shows the limitations of these laws, you can't ban hate speech against any group because there are many groups that seem to "deserve" it. So instead you have to explicitly list out the groups which don't deserve it. This picking and choosing of specially protected groups can get pretty ugly, like in the USA the hate crime laws have been expended to include law enforcement as a protected group.
Walking off the lot got me into the craziest argument I ever had with another human: I went to Maxwell Ford, in Austin, (2018) and asked what the cash cost of the base model Explorer was. These are practically "no options" vehicles, as they're loss leaders. Every few minutes someone would come by and try some tactic that didn't involve telling me a cost (we'd swapped ph#s at some point). At the 30 minute mark, I just got up and walked away, while the sales person & their manager were blabbing at me. They followed me to my car as I drove away. Then they just started calling ... and calling. Each time I'd say "what's the cost?" I'd count to 30, and if they didn't respond I'd hang up. About the 10th time, I asked them to stop calling.

The next day the manager calls me & begins loudly complaining that I can't just hang up on her staff. I hung up on her. She called back screaming at me. I just lowered the volume & let it go. After a minute she paused to take a breath, and I said "can I ask a question?" She said "yes", then I asked how much the car was. She started screaming again; I hung up & blocked their number(s).

Anyways: don't go to Maxwell Ford, they're not mentally well.

I ended up getting the Ford at Lief Johnson. I showed up, saying I was buying with cash. The salesman, Bob, just stared at me for a few minutes and told me a number (29k$), "take it or leave it, my commission is only $50". Out the door in 90 minutes.

Conclusion does not follow from first assertion. Self-diagnosis, while it can be a fair starting point, carries ample risks that are best mitigated with appropriate consultation. That consultation /might/ not be with a doctor, but there does not seem to be legitimate cause to disavow all dactors.
> The reason why families need two incomes nowadays is that our standards for what's "needed" have grown

Nope! It happened almost instantly after Bretton Woods system collapsed. And that wasn't because our living standards changed much, it's cause practically unbounded monetary inflation was embraced as the new standard.

Instead of benefitting from the price deflation afforded by technological progress, governments decided to debase their currencies to finance their centrally planned schemes. Combined with the relatively high transaction cost of finding a new job gave us a world where wages have stagnated.
Yeah. I guess it could be grift if the distributor never really had a realistic buyer for them and they were just taking a high risk with somebody else's capital or it was all in order the get the fees that the article mentioned them trying to charge. The article isn't clear about whether those fees are even in the contract or not, or how they overcame them.
The work is the “cred”. Knowing that somebody found a kernel RCE lets me know they’ve done interesting security work in the kernel space. It doesn’t matter whether or not they had a CVE assigned for that work.

PRs and CVEs are mechanisms for interacting with work. They’re not status symbols, they’re not “cred”.
Right, I realize that, that's why I said we should go further. All of the amendments are about individuals relationship with the government.
Show HN: Don't Lose Your Cool – Use this when your coworkers piss you off
Hi HN,

I've been tinkering with GPT-3 over the past week and it's inspiring a bunch of fun ideas. And this lil toy app is one of them:

It basically turns that angry email or Slack message you want to send to that co-worker that's gotten on your last nerve into something more polite and professional.

It lets you say what you mean without losing your cool (or your job).

Released it on Twitter last night[0] and got a nice response from people. So I figured I should share it on HN.

Currently ~100 messages have been sent on my app in the past 12 hours. Pretty neat :)

Very odd. Usually engineers love abstraction where I am coming from. The simpler the solution, better it usually is.
Helps understanding the whole system, making it less complex. Simplicity causes less bugs.

Of course, you can do too much abstraction.
You're not missing anything but why reinvent a known regex pattern on every project or even on every instance of its usage in a project when the pattern can be defined to be used by anyone that never changes?

In your case, putting the grok patterns in your regex specific function seems to make it more readable.
Maybe your anologies just don't work, because the situation is completely different? The payment terms spoken about above are not to minimize transaction fees, often enough they are 90 days after the order is completed even for a single order, how does that minimize transaction cost (and how is that comparable to electricity bills?)?

I know that in Australia the terms in groceries are horrendous. Generally, frood vege suppliers have to buy specific boxes for delivery (from the supermarket chain) they then still have to pay rent on those boxes and if items don't sell they have to take them back (and pay a box use fee again), make items available at discount for specials run by the supermarket, on top of that the payment terms are as described above. Essentially the big chains don't take any risk, and the small suppliers all the risk. This might be particularly bad because the market is dominated by 2 chains. Supposedly Aldi and Lidl were much better at the time, because they tried to break into the market.
There's important context: they had a signed contract that they were half way through executing on and they had been told to realise the full value of the contract they had to deliver the coffee.

The natural conclusion in that situation is "we must do anything and everything to get across the finish line so all of our effort is not for nothing" and if the contract is due to pay out $250k in a few weeks, then taking on $200k of debt is plausible. Sure, an expert in the field wouldn't make these mistakes and wouldn't take on the risk however these aren't experts and so they did not understand the risk, they thought the $250k was guaranteed if they could just get to the finish line.

The debt did not exist prior to execution of the contract, the debt and contract are linked. Your comment supposes that they started out by borrowing $216k.
I got PRK in college due to my terrible vision (ineligible for LASIK). One of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Here are my thoughts / recommendations:

(1). Find a highly recommended, extremely experienced doctor for your surgery. Please, do not skimp on this. You only have one set of eyes.

(2). Plan to take a week off (at least) from work. If you have a partner or family who can assist you, then ask if they could help / check in on you during the week.

(3). Recovery is painful. Not initially, but once the epithelial cells on your eyes have regrown for a few days, light sensitivity and pain become more pronounced. Expect to sleep in a dark room and listen to podcasts.

In summary, I highly recommend the surgery. Anecdotally, it has been great for me. Again, the crucial bit is finding a surgeon you’re confident in, scheduling your PTO and caregiving (if possible).
> I think it depends on how much dollar volume they contribute.

Generally this is the common view on institutions, but the term "whales" is also common and indicates positional leverage (vs. identity leverage) in understanding market flow.

You/op may want to go upmarket and talk to firms about this for research purposes.

> I also don't see everyone switching to index funds anytime soon -- people want to get rich quick.

Whether intentional or not, this phrasing suggests the quintessential beginner's mindset on a thing they are new to: Either people go the way I'm comfortable seeing things, OR they represent the completely opposite mindset to my own.

There is also another false dichotomy tucked in here, one which leads many market-beginners to undershoot or overshoot appropriate risk mindsets.

It is actually very common for a trader to be simultaneously a day trader, swing trader, and investor depending on the part of their capital they are working on in a given moment on a given day. For example they might manage up/down an investment position, open a swing, and hold off on a given day trade--all on the same day.

Beating the market is also a really ineffective mental model for understanding what traders are trying to do with their trading systems. It is commonly used as a straw-man theme to perpetuate an argument over unrealistic risk stereotypes.

Individual traders may post in retrospect that they beat a market, but usually their goal specification has nothing to do with beating a market. While the goal may thus seem to overlap in a hand-wavy way, the usual specification they work from yields specific leverage that helps _specific_ traders beat markets because the spec is more like running a quality trading system in a subjective manner.
You explain the reason?
> Any food garbage is supposed to be scraped off roughly (ie scrape off actual pieces of food but dont worry if a few rice stick to the plate).

This is the part that takes 80% of the time, because you have to bring every dish to the garbage can that might not necessarily be next to a dishwasher.

> Dishwashers save on water and energy.

Both of which are negligible compared to the amount of water used for, say, heating and showering (not to mention the water that goes into agriculture for food you eat).

> Anyone who is sceptical of dishwashers and their merits needs to watch the Technology Connections video on dishwashers.

Or they just use very few dishes and figured out a method that works for them.

I think so, all of the items you mentioned are illegal and punished by the law. Laws can only be enforced after a crime has been committed, not really sure what you are advocating for.
It's hard to convey just how ridiculously complex and expensive 5nm is compared with 90nm.

5nm is a multi-billion dollar fab, absurdly high running costs, and very expensive wafers.

As a data point: 5nm lithography equipment is > $100M/unit, needs megawatts of power to run, and they handle about 60-80 wafers per hour.

90nm lithography equipment is ~ $1M/unit, needs kilowatts of power to run, and they handle about 60-80 wafers per hour.

So a wafer scanned on 5nm equipment that could have been scanned on 9nm equipment is carrying a very large capital and operational cost burden that's pointless.

Everything else on the network ran Windows. A windows power user could sort-of admin a Windows network, it was easy. All the applications ran on Windows since VB, Access, and Foxpro made it easy for people to build stuff.

It's that simple. NT being an insecure, slow system that required a reboot every month didn't prevent it from taking over. And ten years later, Microsoft made most of those things better (but didn't fix them anywhere close to 100%)
> if it really lived up to its old ideal of being a "portable assembly language".

What "old ideal" ? Where do you believe this "ideal" was expressed? Should I expect to find it in the First Edition K&R perhaps? Or in the documentation for the original C compiler? In the ANSI standard ?

C was never this mythical "portable assembly language" that's just something people say about it, mostly to ridicule it, you are engaging in Nostalgia.
I said this when the bail was announced. There can be no bail for crypto crimes, and no eventual release. It’s the nature of crypto that SBF will always have various piles of stolen cash at his finger tips. Justice would be an IRS man following him round for the rest of his life, and any time he happens upon some fortunate cash… thanks we’ll be having that.

> We cannot be so paranoid about potential future government harms to us that we overlook the immediate dangers of current and ongoing harms done person-to-person.

We don't need to look at potential future government harms, we only need to look at past actual governments. If my past government has taken it on themselves to illegally and irresponsibly repress speech, and I believe they did, why would I want to give current governments the power to legally repress speech? The government is formed in the same structure, and is likely to repeat the same mistakes, and frankly is likely to illegally repress speech again in the future, but I'd at least like to have the courts to fall back on (although even that isn't always enough)
who even thinks that 6000 units will be bags. I mean considering that we are talking about food distribution it can't be bags. now consider aldi in the us or in germany, it has over 2k stores, consider it will send 50 bags per store (which is not a lot, but that would probably be around 2 cartons, which is fine for a start or special) it would only be possible to send it to around 120 stores, so why should they even bother?
now the other way round a simple person who operates like 2 aldi stores wants to order the coffee, he would probably only need around 200 bags, so why did they even think that 6000 units are bags.

its so stupid. (especially since they bothered in writing how much hours of coffee that would be...)
