I suppose it depends on where you live. In Denmark when some of our banks failed in 2007-2008 the government simply assumed ownership of the banking operation until the healthy business (regular people) could be sold and transferred to other banks. I think something similar happened with Silicon Valley bank, didn’t it? It’s typically not too disruptive for regular people.

For investors, institutional loaners and people who have more money than what is covered by your country’s laws or the banks insurance, you will likely have to wait for a lengthy bankruptcy process to see what remains of your money beyond what is covered. Typically in-loans will be quite high on the bankruptcy priority list, but sometimes there won’t be enough money to cover much of it. Often there will also be various lawsuits in the wake of a bank failing, as investors try to get what they can.

Where it can be severely disruptive is if your company has money in the bank exceeding the “regular people” amount. Because that would mean your company would have to wait for the bankruptcy process to obtain access to its funds.
This project isn’t in need of critical feedback. The fatal problems with the proposition they’ve put forward are plainly obvious. They’ve simply chosen to try and ignore them.

I also support making publicly funded code open source. But campaigning for all government licensed code to be made open source by legislation, especially with no indication of what reasonable limits you think that should include, is a fundamentally stupid idea. Microsoft isn’t going to open source windows to retain government licenses, and government orgs aren’t going to stop using windows. This position puts this project in the camp of ideological extremists who are simply disconnected from reality. Including scaremongering about the security of proprietary software is also an incredibly weak and unnecessary inclusion here.

If this campaign were to gain some traction with the public, the only thing it would achieve is attaching supporters of a more reasonable version of this idea, with a stupid and trivially easy to dismiss argument to support it.
The existing coding model is anyways flawed. We spend 99% of the time "finding" the right place to make changes, though, logically, we already know what we want to change. This disjoint shouldn't exist is software is to evolve fast and correct. I hope these models enable to achieve that.
Clearly so.

If I were to revise your summary, I would say that a marqt is a living online poll – you can vote on something today, but if you change your mind later, you can change your vote.

I'm not sure what you mean by incentivizing pollsters and respondents to game the results, but let me take a crack at what I imagine you're thinking about (please let me know if I'm totally off).

Let's consider a scenario. Person X has a lot of influence, and so they tell everyone they know to marq their marqt true. In a world where the marqt has enough liquidity, there would potentially be a person Y that disagrees and also has influence, telling their followers to marq it false. And along the way people would add remarqs, allowing new voters to discern the nuance and existing voters to change their vote if they see a compelling enough reason why. The more people that participate, the closer you get to representing how true or false that marqt is, which strengthens the validity of the number, which creates value, and whoever is responsible for creating that value should be rewarded, along with everyone else that voted and commented and participated in that creation of value.

> But [facts] are objectively verifiable with evidence, not supposition or rhetoric.

I would say everything is fair game. Evidence can be subjective too. Rhetoric can be quite convincing, especially if you have influence and repeat it over and over and others continue echoing it.
> That youtube video from Axis of Comedy is amazing; they go through 38 songs from bands as diverse as Journey, Elton John, U2, the Beatles, Bob Marley, Green Day, Aqua, and Beyonce.

What's amazing is how they somehow failed to identify the original piece and its composer, i.e. Canon in D Major, P 37, by Johann Pachelbel.[1]

It's strange this comment is being downed, because the "Hack the planet" quote from the movie (Hackers, 1995) and the tone of the entire movie is individual hacker vs corporate hacker. There is no way the main protagonist (Dade Murphy) would have disclosed a security vulnerability to the any of the companies in the movie. The quote in question is yelled by Dade while he is being dragged away by federal agents after saying "They're trashing" as a hint to the floppy disk he hid near the trash.

Disagree with what the poster is saying if you want, but he is accurate that the quote is being misused IMO
> Some information is required by law to remain secret, such as locations of security hardening features, cameras, guns, etc.

This was more what I was trying to motion toward — if you sell a power reactor to the private market, aren't you basically guaranteeing that "locations of security hardening features" and so forth will be able to be scrutinized at leisure by foreign state actors who can then use that information to attack other power infrastructure made to the same template?

Ask HN: How would ban on matrix protocol work
Hi.

Some days ago,Indian government in a news report said about banning 14 chat apps for "promoting terrorism" in effect because apparently these apps have e2ee and that they do not have any representative in India who could be punished for not giving Indian govt a backdoor access, which by effect WhatsApp must've given.

So, today element.io started getting blocked for me. 10 minutes later, it was back and another 10 minutes later it was back down.

Here is the question ,
If a hostile govt wants to "ban" matrix network for example, how would that work on the ground? Would they manually ban each and every thousands of public and private servers? Clients?

Matrix at least won't comply so how?

Manhattan used to be more densely populated and prices were lower.

I found this neat article https://millersamuel.com/change-is-constant-100-years-of-new...

In the 1910s when Manhattan's population was 2.3 million, price per square foot (PPSF) was $8. In the 2010s when the population was 1.6 million PPSF was $1070.

Inflation from the 1910s to the 2010s was about 22x. PPSF in Manhattan rose by 134x over the same time, even as the population fell.
They added a fix for that, see it in your security settings

Reminds me of the old BASIC lemonade stand type simulation games where you have to purchase supplies and advertising to turn a profit on sales. Some of them didn't have input validation so you could order negative quantities of supplies and have your balance credited to your heart's content without selling anything.

Time to quote the late Admiral Rickover, again, who described the AP300 in quite a lot of detail back in 1953. [1]

"An academic reactor or reactor plant almost always has the following basic characteristics:

1. It is simple.
2. It is small.
3. It is cheap.
4. It is light.
5. It can be built very quickly.
6. It is very flexible in purpose (“omnibus reactor”)
7. Very little development is required. It will use mostly “off-the-shelf” components.
8. The reactor is in the study phase. It is not being built now."

> I'm a cloud proponent because it means not having to sit through hours of meetings to deploy a $5/mo virtual machine.

I'd hope there aren't actually hours of meetings for a single $5/mo VM?

But I would hope there are reviews and meetings when deploying enough of these to amount to real money. Companies that don't do that soon enough find themselves with a million dollar AWS bill without understanding what's going on.

Spend is spend, it's vital to understand what is being spent on what and why.
Incentives are good but you still have to watch out for greenwashing lies.

Sure you can use cardboard for a a lot of things but liquids and pressurized goods like soda are difficult. I don't think there is a way to have a biodegradable coke bottle.

Urbanists don't like highways because highways are generally sold to the public as a way to reduce congestion; what usually happens is the extra lanes fill up immediately. The capacity of a train is much larger and it's a lot cheaper to increase throughput on a train line (by running more trains, longer trains, etc) than it is on a highway.
Considering how much of Homer must have been oral tradition, and in parallel the fidelity of the oral tradition of the Hadith, there's the outsider question "yes, but did Homer have the Synaesthesia, or did somebody else" in this too.

I tend to think highly alliterative, poetic language has licence to use words for their descriptive quality, their synaesthetic quality, their meter, and just because you goddam' like them. But then, somebody has to remember in the moment and pass it on.

We can all remember "but madam, we're now just dickering over the price" but we tend to confuse Oscar Wilde and Churchill. And that isn't exactly what either of them said either. Thats under two centuries of distortion of the mostly oral, partly written tradition.

The Iron Curtain was only a passing comment to a graduation ceremony in a University. Who knew it would spawn the Iron Lady in half a century?

Iron Curtain. It's going to live forever. The Berlin wall was mostly Concrete. The barbed wire is made of steel, because Iron isn't very suitable for the job. The man of steel was something else. Is that why Churchill went to the Iron curtain? Remember, he'd lived through the politics of "the Iron guard" in Romania. "Iron" as a metaphor had been around politics for a while.

Iron fist in a velvet glove was Bismark. If you're doing the barrier between east and west, in the immediate post war period, the break line is Germany. Iron it is then.

Really? the Iron curtain was the guns and tanks and bayonets behind the barrier(s) not the curtain/wall itself. It was the posture.

Was the sea wine-coloured? Do we infer Greek wine was green? No.. not really. But it's a great line.

> Is it really a good idea to define duress so narrowly?

The alternative is terrible-- otherwise anyone with the ability to possibly help is compelled to do so at any cost without recompense.

> At what point does causing an "increasing risk of death" start to equate with murder or manslaughter? Being shot at increases the risk of death sharply. What about being exposed to industrial effluent without consent?

That's the crummy thing with international law-- it's as each jurisdiction says.

The unfortunate thing is, there's large portions of the world that are poor enough that taking risks with industrial effluent seem to make sense. If the increased prosperity lets you pay for wastewater treatment and health projects, you could save considerably more lives. The first world went through terrible times to claw our way to modern prosperity.

The thing that is different now, of course, is that we have far more prosperous people looking on the sidelines. On the other hand, we've been trying to come up with a model for charity and NGO-driven durable economic development out of poverty and have very little to show for it.

Urbanists disagree that more VMT is inherently good. VMT is good because of why people make trips - see their family, go to work, shop etc.

The alternative isn't eliminating those trips. It's taking the trillions of dollars we waste and spending it on an alternative, more efficient modes that deliver better outcomes (travel time, cost, speed, comfort, etc)

I really believe this type of thinking and the philosophies spawned by it are harmful. It's easy to find flaws even with premise #1, that "suffering is bad".

We choose to suffer for things we deem worth suffering for even if they don't bring us "joy". In an extreme example of this, we might even choose to jump in front of a car if it means saving a child.

I think a lot of things in this philosophical vein are a symptom of disconnection from society. I truly believe that if you are socially enmeshed with others around you and deeply care about their well being (friends, family, maybe even a partner and/or pets and/or children), or have other things in the world that you deeply care about, (e.g. nature, art, etc.), it would seem odd to try and deduce life from first principles, since these "worldly attachments" are an immediate and obvious source of meaning, value, and direction.

Regarding section 3 - what even is "true happiness", anyway? I'd say (without evidence) that among those who are financially secure, the happiest people are probably those who are content and don't spend all their time wondering about how happy they are; the more you think about this topic the more you'll focus how you can be happier and just end up dissatisfied as a result. A mindset of optimizing for happiness will accidentally make you unhappy.

With all that said, I do like the author's section about trying to align yourself with reality as much as possible.

> On May 6th, 2020 Shopify was the most valuable Canadian company. Why Canadian tech is cursed? Nortel, Blackberry, Shopify ...

It's interesting how Canada has exactly one globally prominent tech company, no more, no less; as one falls, the next arises. While having one is certainly better than the average of zero for non-US developed countries, and having each be in a different sector is also good, I suspect that each also benefits/benefited from being the hot tech company that those in Canada join if they didn't/couldn't move to the US. (I've seen others mention Shopify being known for lowballing salaeies.)

I sell online (but on marketplaces, not my own website) so try to follow the space. Shopify is known as the company you go to for quickly setting up an ecommerce storefront. Yes, there are competitors, but Shopify seems to be the brand name in the space. Unlike Apple vis-a-vis Blackberry, there doesn't seem to be great risk of someone coming in with revolutionary technology and immense market reach that upsets the field overnight; we're coming up to 30 years after the release of Netscape, after all.
