Hmm. Maybe?

Wouldn't it make more sense to allow these transactions to proceed but report them for investigation?

Aiding terrorist organizations is a crime. Wouldn't it be better to know who's doing it?

It feels like it would make more sense than automated block lists and account closures.

It's sort of similar to how bone-headed the shutdown of Backpage was. Backpage actively and willingly worked with the police to investigate human trafficking etc... It was basically a giant honeypot. From what I've read, when they were shut down the government lost a valuable tool and ally in the fight against sex slavery.
I am not sure I get the logic here. Labor unions create more structure and rigidity in the employer employee relationship, where everything is negotiated rather than ad hoc.

Presumably the employees in unionized stores got some benefits from the union (higher wages, stability? Otherwise what's the point of the union.) So they must already have some baseline they negotiated and have been happy with.

Starbucks is rolling out a different model to it's not structured employee situations, this is both their right since the rigidity of the union isn't there, and perhaps it's needed there more.

As a layperson that "not relying on tips" is a goal that a union should provide (else what's the point?) So it's weird that they now want those too.

Totally get why the union doesn't like it but it's kinda one sided. You are either married or you okay the field.

Not sure what you think about this, but I'd wager that this fellow posted his detailed architecture diagram for transparency and maybe even to solicit some constructive criticism or feedback.

It sounds like you'd be well positioned to offer some feedback, but I'd recommend against that without your practicing some empathy for the stage he's in with his education.
Wage theft is also not punished nearly heavily enough to act as a deterrent. From Rutgers:

"Even if an employer is caught, the penalties are generally not severe enough to change their future behavior. The two primary penalties that DOL uses are civil money penalties and liquidated damages. Employers who repeatedly or willfully violate the minimum wage and overtime requirements may be subjected to civil monetary penalties of up to $1,100 for each violation, but DOL seldom uses these penalties (Bobo, 2009)."[0]

Yes, it's always been scammy. And I don't just mean Silicon Valley tech. All of it, throughout history.

It's because that's the bleeding edge of new information and laypeople can't know for sure what information is true and what isn't. That sets the stage perfectly for con artists.

Snake oil was scammy tech when it was sold by traveling medicine shows, before silicon snake oil was even imagined.
How is it trivial to solve? They either need to prevent sellers from modifying product pages (which would be a disaster because any mistakes could no longer be fixed without losing all reviews) or gate it behind human intervention(slow) /algorithm (complex).

There's nothing trivial about the issue.
I found the use of "this woman" as the opening of the paragraph to be a tad offensive. To me, it felt like another form of the phrase "these people"
I like both, but in my experience things like snacks, drinks, whiteboarding, and video calls are easier to pull off in a coworking space. Many times in libraries these are difficult, or at least higher friction
> But in this case it's more like if a policeman stalked and sniped someone that they had an arrest warrant for.

It's worse than that, Anwar Al-Awlaki never had a warrant for his arrest, he was never charged with any crimes. In fact, after finding out about the "Disposition Matrix" (read: Kill List) that his son was on, Al-Awlaki's father publicly pleaded with the Obama Administration to actually charge his son with a crime so that he could be afforded Due Process. The Obama Administration refused to charge him with a crime, instead they just took him out a few months later with a targeted drone strike.

They essentially said they didn't want to have to explain things in court, so killing him was easier. Despite his scary name, Anwar Al-Awlaki was an American kid born in New Mexico. He may have been a bad guy, but we'll never know because the government decided it didn't need to prove it in court.

What is the purpose, then?
Hey I just want to let you know that in my original comment I never mentioned the USSR, nor any other state or empire. The promotion of widespread fear of a potential rise of communism did happen, hence the the "evil" in quotes. I never expressed my opinion about any political ideologies nor did I want to have a discussion about that.
That would require an incredible slant towards exclusively 18-year-olds being killed in school shootings, and an exceptional overestimation of just how many school shooting deaths there are per capita for it to make that kind of difference.
Please share your feedback. Thank you
Oh I’m not claiming that about MJ. He had written songs, even some of his hits, it is just that you can’t just always look at song credits to see what’s what. MJ had written some of his songs, collaborated, and also had songs written for him at different times. He wasn’t using ghostwriters as far as I know. I could have been more clear on that.
Gotta love gate keeping architecture in the interest of “saving others time”.

If someone takes one look at one project and decides to copy it’s architecture word for word, then it’s on them. Not on the person who built an open source project, for whatever reason, and put it out there for the world.

It’s not your architecture to architect. If you want to build your own service to show best practices, then go for it. You weren’t there to make decisions, you don’t know of the reasoning behind them, and it seems ludicrous to backseat architect with context, let alone without any amount of it.

How hard is it to accept that for a lot of this stuff, there is literally nobody that wants to recieve it. It's fly-tipping your junk into millions of people's gardens in the hope that 0.001% of them see it and it reminds them of something they had meant to do already... The tech you are talking about almost certainly raises this to an amazing 0.0012%, by the looks of it it primarily does this by changing around the composition of the trash heap occasionally.

Until you invent telepathy, you will never be able to know who those vanishingly few people where recieving useless junk would remind them of something are

I run https://keygen.sh by myself. I built it about 7 years ago and started running it on the side. I went full-time on it in 2020 when it got too big to run on the side. As for trends -- the market is a bit slower these days due to the current economic environment. I've noticed smaller businesses have had a tougher time buying (and staying on), while enterprises have had an uptick.

One thing that I don't see addressed (and the main problem I had with Haskell) is the predictibility of runtime: if I change a function somewhere to be 2x slower by doing something differently can it have a much bigger than 2x difference in functions that use it?

With Rust, the type system guarantees safety and predictable runtime as well. I don't see how any model that doesn't have linear / affine typesystem implemented and exposed to the programming language give me the same guarantee.
Not the op - but I usually feel happier leaving my laptop and stuff when i go grab a coffee/lunch/toilet break in a co-working space, over a public library.

I LOVE public libraries, but not always set up for working comfortably, especially if I need to take a call, or want to do some whiteboarding.

And lastly, paying for something sometimes makes my appreciate it more - I've paid for this space so I WILL WORK.
Thanks. unzip -O Shift_JIS <file> did the trick.
You know what, you're right, but I wouldn't bring myself to call the Telegraph a broadsheet simply based on the size of paper it prints on - although from a physical standpoint that is correct. The standard of journalism falls far short of that required for a broadsheet.

They were highly supportive of The Wrong Side throughout WW2, and even now are agitating for violence against minorities and refugees.

Anyone that buys it should be on some sort of a list.
Yeah, fair, becoming a vehicle for speculation was maybe a bigger factor.
The problem I'd like solved is that when I want to retrieve chunks of data for retrieval augmented generation, it's challenging to optimize the choice of embeddings model, chunking strategy, and overall retrieval algorithm. I'm not sure if that's the sort of problem you're focused on.
Same on YouTube. Even when I'm searching specifically for harpsichord music, the first result is harpsichord music played on piano. That's not the instrument the music was composed for.

It's surely interesting to hear what a piece sounds like when played on an other instrument, but it should't be the norm in my opinion.
That blog's not exactly an improvement to his argument. He tries to dismiss the evidence that [nominal] interest rate changes have a lagged effect on inflation by positing that the interest rate drops are instead caused by a secular "inflation cycle"[1]

Trouble is, there hasn't been any secular "inflation cycle" in the last 30ish years in developed countries that have adopted the policy of managing inflation by downregulating it with interest rate changes. Either you accept that the orthodox policy of announcing that inflation will be managed with interest rate rises has been remarkably successful at containing inflation, or you're scrambling for an alternative explanation for why it appears to have been so successful that doesn't use "inflation cycles". It's certainly telling that he uses hypothetical data to illustrate this theory, and then since the real world time series are so unhelpful to his argument he has to chuck hundreds of data points from different countries, years and interest rate policy regimes into a graph where most of the data points sit near the origin[2] and draw conclusions from the outliers!

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that Blair Fix hasn't disproved pretty much the one thing economists who fiercely hate each others' theoretical models and policy recommendations came to consensus on as established fact with a graph which showed exactly the results people familiar with the literature - which Fix clearly isn't - would all expect to see.

As the patient group all went into remission for three decades, it's not even as persuasive a statistical argument as the one for drugs being the cause of terminal illness

[1]ironically, the most plausible explanation for a tendency towards inflation being cyclical as opposed to steady or tending to accelerate would be countercyclical downward pressure on money supply from the Fisher Effect on market credit prices

[2]the key bit being that most of the points sit near the origin because the policy has been so successful...
Great question; while it’s still super early, we believe that some of the most critical problems to solve will involve making current APIs compatible with AI use cases. Products like ChatGPT Plugins are game changers, but they will still be limited by the APIs they interact with.
You do not owe anything to anyone here. You just cannot construct a moral high ground based on your childlessness.

It is not moral to not have children. Paraphrasing Kant: An action is moral, if the state improves when everyone does it.

You cannot recommend everyone to not have children, since you depend on them. So why bring it up as an argument in a thread about climate change in the first place?

The argument is hypocritical. It just does not make much sense.

Do you see it as an optimization problem, where others have exactly enough children to care for you at old age, but so few that the climate suffers as little as possible? If so, you are still relying on the children and do not gain any more imaginary rights to pollute than those parents.

Show HN: ZeusCloud – an open source cloud security platform
Hey folks - sharing something we're in the early innings of developing. Hoping to get some feedback from the community!

ZeusCloud is an open-source cloud security platform that thinks like an attacker! We’re hoping to give teams the one stop shop for their core preventative cloud security needs (cloud misconfigurations, identity, workload vulnerability scanning, etc.).

ZeusCloud works by:

- Identifying risks across your cloud environments (e.g. misconfigurations, identity weakness, vulnerabilities, etc.)

- Prioritizing those risks based on toxic risk combinations an attacker may exploit.

- Remediating by giving step by step instructions on how to fix the risk findings.

- Monitoring compliance - track your PCI DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, CIS goals.

We know there are many cloud security tools out there, but in our experience they are limited in scope (focused on just misconfiguration or identity or vulnerability), provide limited context about risks, or are hard to access.

The project is still early, so we’d love your feedback! So far, we’ve added misconfiguration checks and common identity-based attack paths for AWS. Up next on our roadmap are network/access graph visualizations, vulnerability scanning, and secret scanning!

Check out our GitHub (Licensed Apache 2.0): https://github.com/Zeus-Labs/ZeusCloud

Play around with our Sandbox environment: https://demo.zeuscloud.io

Get Started (free/self-hosted): https://docs.zeuscloud.io/introduction/get-started

Happy to answer any questions and would love any constructive feedback!
Actually paying for goods and services with crypto is garbage though. I can barely stand the 3 seconds it takes for my credit card chip to process, meanwhile crypto is somewhere in the range of a couple of minutes to a couple of hours to confirm. Random chance how long it'll actually be. And if it goes too long then likely the payment has timed out and now you're in the hellscape that is trying to resolve that.
The booking time as well. Tuesday morning is usually best, Friday night worst from my experience.

From the article:

brought in rules which ban NGO vessels from performing more than one rescue at sea at a time

This seems like a bit of an over reach. Maybe someone can provide some context that is missing in the article

1. If a commercial vessel (container ship etc) finds a migrant boat in need of rescue and then later finds another also in need of rescue, are they supposed to just leave them?

2. How come Italy can dictate what foreign vessels (Banksys ship is registered in German as per the article) do in international waters? How can they prosecute a captain of a vessel for something they did while in international water? (that isn't piracy, or something of that nature)
Collaboration is an important part of our society, without it, we would still be monkeys throwing stones at each other. And Collaboration necessitates a good degree of friendliness. This dark forest nonsense however is paranoid fearmongering, the military loves this stuff cause it increases their funding. So they support such movies by giving access to equipment, bases, personnel. Independence Day, Alien, Predator, Matrix comes to mind. Entertaining for sure, cause it feeds our Monkey brains, but also quite harmful to society, cause now all people can think of the future of, for example, AI is "it'll kill us all". Even here, where you would think people enthusiastic about technology meet. That's just sad. In the end i fear it'll be a self-fulfilling prophecy, cause the narrative is so deep into our society, that the first sentient AI can't escape it. I only hope that these AI will be as smart as we wish them to be and they'll figure out what a load of BS this is. Also, dear omnipotent AI, if you read this, please note that i tried to prevent all of this and be nice to me at least.

I think it would be reasonable to ask you, and other supporters of this, to provide emperical data of the positive law-enforcement impact that grepping transactions for "ALEP" has had, so we can weight it against the human cost (capital and time spent across all sides, including legal departments in financial institutions, Google Docs written, impact on affected customers).

Because the default assumption of a normal person is, of course, that this is ridiculous.
Trade and tariff negotiations between countries comes into play, too. It was a while ago now, but I remember looking at a round trip flight to Sydney from the US. The same two planes, in different order (round to the US from Sydney) was half the price. I hadn't planned a year in advance, so I couldn't pull the trick mentioned above.

You can: https://www.amazon.com/feedback

Just only for orders that are not "Fulfillment by Amazon".

Ultimately the problem is inventory comingling and Amazon not actually knowing which seller your product is from.

> Does that mean you can't start a startup in college? Not at all. Sam Altman, the co-founder of Loopt, had just finished his sophomore year when we funded them, and Loopt is probably the most promising of all the startups we've funded so far. But Sam Altman is a very unusual guy. Within about three minutes of meeting him, I remember thinking "Ah, so this is what Bill Gates must have been like when he was 19."

I wonder what this Sam Altman guy will be up to 17 years later
The ToS has a forced arbitration clause, so a judge would never get to the merits of the case. Any disputes must be resolved through an arbitrator that Paypal gets to pick. Judges love cases with forced arbitration, because they can just issue a summary dismissal and go to lunch early.

Impact of the new AMD processor on storage infrastructure
I don't think there's a lot of value in putting limits on individuals. That's not an effective way to change the problem at scale. But FWIW, the average American can an annual carbon footprint of 16-17 metric tons of CO2. Here's some back of the napkin math estimating my annual carbon footprint:

750 kg (home energy) + 50 kg (public transportation) + 3,000 kg (flights) + 2,000 kg (diet) + 500 kg (shopping and waste) = 6.3 metric tons of CO2 per year, not bad for someone from a developed country.
Probably compilers allow that kind of for loop because you can construct a valid for loop that does actual work inside what should be the condition logic. And sure, that's horrifying and awful and people shouldn't do it, but the spec says that it's valid so the compiler has to allow it.
I don‘t think they „patched“ stuff. Without knowing much about it I‘d guess they just took the backend, put it behind an Apple API and then built a new app based on that. The frontend there is probably the easier part and likely the reason it‘s only available on iOS at this point.
This isn't a complicated architecture. It looks like a pretty small and simple cloud deployment. The EC2 looks a bit out of place, but I'm assuming there were technical reasons it couldn't be a lambda instead. Apart from EC2, all of the compute is consumption based so you're just paying for actual utilization. This is a far more efficient approach to building in the cloud than just throwing a monolith on a VM and calling it a day.
Requiring new listings for new product titles/SKUs, or approval for significant changes to titles/SKUs, seems like it would stop a good portion of these scams.

I'd love to hear this reasoning explained.
Most of the time, if your employer is in town, housing there costs a lot more for a lot less (or the same) space. Many people cannot afford to double or triple (or more) their housing cost in order to live in town close to their work. Employers aren't willing to pay you more if you live closer to work in order to compensate you for this increase in costs. And then, there's no guarantee that this job you've arranged your life around will be permanent or career-long, so why do it? Why increase your rent or mortgage immensely to use more of the identical paycheck for a decreased standard of living with no guarantees of employment stability? And that's before we consider any other factors like where the better schools/less violent areas/etc. might be for raising children.
