They have hired the top legal team in the world with the specific remit of "get us the answers that are easiest and cheapest for Coinbase".

That is entirely tangential, if not orthogonal to the subject of "define securities".

I mean from Coinbase's own filing. "The SEC has stated that digital tokens are securities. We disagree..."

and "registration under the current rules is, for many market participants, either not possible or not economically viable given the associated and unnecessary compliance burdens"

It's not that Coinbase disagrees that they're securities, as such. It's that they say it's too much work or cost to do so.
The drugs I've bought with cryptocurrency have been cheaper and of better quality than the drugs I've bought with dollars, by a wide margin. So there's that.

The marketing you're talking about is for the investors. By the nature of the product, the users have powerful adversaries and are probably operating in secret. You can't expect their use cases to show up in the marketing, that would defeat the purpose.

Sure, you get the bad with the good. There are definitely unsavory things going on under the covers. But you have to weigh that against the misbehavior of the powerful in a world where they're more difficult to coordinate against due to a underdeveloped crypto.

It's a trade off, but I think it's a worthwhile one.
Meta doesn't have the marketing chops, consumer product mindshare, or retail channel that Apple does, so I'm not sure Apple's approach makes sense for them.

And it remains to be seen if Apple's approach will work (though I suspect it will, over time... as you suggest, the premium device will set the market and later Apple will make cheaper devices available that make different tradeoffs.)
the obvious answer should be 'zero', especially once we understand the history of tipping culture. I think the expansion of tipping to self serve will be point where we start to train ourselves out of the habit

I don't think the enforcement is all that selective - any time I took an exam in a large hall, there were professors and TAs pacing around on the lookout. In smaller settings, it might have been just the professor but they all seemed to be trying to enforce the code. Many people may slip through the net but that's different than selective enforcement. If the rules have been communicated, I see no problem having a severe penalty as a deterrent.

Also, you may consider that it's because you're a cheater that you think everyone else is doing it. I made it out of a couple elite colleges with a good GPA and no cheating.

By definition, Ponzi schemes involve some investors making a lot of money and others losing. That doesn't make them any less illegal.

Discussion of this dam by the author of those posts: https://www.datasecretslox.com/index.php/topic,5924.msg39559...
“OTOH, what gives me a bit of pause in going "It's a deliberate demolition" is that when I try to wrap my head around a plan for how you'd do this for a dam of this type (concrete gravity dam with spillway and powerhouse using intake sections), it gets to be extremely complicated very quickly. If you just had one huge bomb--and this would include airstrikes as well as a bomb on a truck or suspended from a barge in the forebay--you'd disrupt a couple of monoliths, and then this basically rounds to the same problem I pointed out above: why doesn't the progression stop after the disrupted monoliths slide downstream and the pool starts to drop?

But if you wanted to go and do demo on each monolith, that's...a very elaborate operation. Not impossible for a military to conduct, but it's hard for me to believe that it would have escaped notice until now. I'd expect to have seen a bunch of video of Russian soldiers spending weeks putting demo on each monolith, including having drilling rigs out there. People tend to have an overly-optimistic view of how easy it is to do a surreptitious controlled demolition, and it's harder when dealing with a structure that mainly functions by just being so damn heavy that water can't push it downstream--you need to either remove mass or disrupt the structure of the dam long enough for the reservoir to push it out of the way, which either means really big bombs that are probably easily visible, or super-elaborate placement of a bunch of small ones, which is also easily visible.”

Sounds to me like you get your knowledge of rural life from movies/TV.

What you mentioned doesn’t at all match the reality I’ve experienced growing up and living in a small town.

My rural county has a balanced budget, property tax increases are well below inflation (mine actually decreased in 2022), average fire/ambulance/police response time is well below suburban equivalents. Crime is incredibly low, police write few tickets, roads in great shape and muni services all above average.

Our Sheriff deputies are professional. They view themselves as public servants and consistently go above and beyond to assist. The total number of speeding tickets issued in a week for the whole county is in the single digits. The only time they “go hard” is against home invaders, violent offenders and other serious felony-level crime.

It is probably comforting somehow for people in cities to paint life in rural areas as behind and backwards but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Out here in flyover country, almost all of us are on the same page and we have our shit together. If you can handle the associated challenges (weather, fewer social opportunities, etc.) the quality of life is through the roof.

Ah yes, because the body that can barely get through a few laws every month surely will handle the utter deluge of work when they have to write all the petty little details of any recommendation by any portion of the federal government on any little issue.

The point of overturning Chevron is entirely to handicap the government in it's ability to regulate anything.

Show HN: Noe, a mutating webhook to make multi-arch simpler in Kubernetes
Hi folks!

Our team provides a multi-cluster, multi-region, multi-tenant, Kubernetes cluster as a service to the rest of the company [1].

Recently, we worked on adding ARM-nodes support and we found out that people usually rely on annotations to get the job done. Then, we realized that this is double work. You need to:

1. Build the image for multi-architecture

2. Annotate your deployment with the correct architecture

Isn't there a better way? So, Noe was born. Noe is a Kubernetes mutating webhook that dynamically assigns node architectures to match the requirements of container images within a Pod. It simplifies mixed-architecture deployments (e.g. ARM and x86) by ensuring that Pods are scheduled on nodes capable of executing all their images.

> People didn't start using web2 because people called it web2, they used it because it was better

I would like to clarify that the meaning of "it" and "web2" from your comment is just a clever use of XMLHttpRequest aka AJAX. It changed web so much that AJAXfull websites are called web2 and AJAXless websites are called web1.

I do not see any big impact to the web from those websites/apps/protocols which use blockchain or any cryptocurrency-inspired stuff. The real third version of web (from my opinion) is when websites use to show you endless number of notifications which can be divided in two groups:

1/2: go install our app of get off from our website (with significant change in browser software consequently - no tabs, no ability to set font size, no browser extensions and no visible browser at all). If you are not from smartphone, at least go install our notifications which make your browser running after closing it because of our webapp's spam.

2/2: notice that government use to guard your safety. GDPR, app store's and play market's policies, KYC/AML, limited and surveillanced use of bank cards as the only legal way of transaction of funds.

As a result, Web3 is not something about crypto-fairytale-future, it is about spying. It is about non-free software everywhere, forced upgrades of everyting, all your data can be erased by big corps, IoT where S stands for security and a phone number verification everywhere.
Sorry, but what's the point? Why not just buy a Linux laptop and have everything work out of the box? Why are Linux enthusiasts putting so much effort into supporting hardware from companies that - at best - ignore Linux? This question is also valid for other manufacturers, btw, not just Apple. So much time wasted doing free labor for hardware companies that will just break your stuff with the next hardware iteration.
Yes.

I have code I wrote thirty years ago that's still running, but of all the code I've written, that's a minority. Most of it is no longer being used.

In fact, most of the code you write will be garbage in 5-10 years. The problems for which we're building solutions tend to be very ephemeral, so therefore the solutions tend to be ephemeral as well.
And like all court cases, everything must be followed with the words "In my opinion", until a judge rules.
That’s a great way of putting it. It’s not necessarily that any given path is _bad_, but some of those paths aren’t consumer/privacy/business/whatever-friendly.

I think Meta and Amazon stand alone here with a different problem than the rest, which is in terms of people that they both have sociopathic leadership. Technically, neither have an “in-hand/hands-on” platform either: no desktop OS or truly viable productivity platform. Amazon doesn’t even use the AWS WorkMail. Those two things combined make the erraticism seem perfectly “normal”.

I think Google’s problems are survivable if they get rid of Pichai and learn to focus.

Trolley, an Open Source Multi Cloud/Multi Region Kubernetes Management Platform
Hi all!

I am super psyched to present you with an Open Source project I've been working on lately with my wife.

Trolley is mostly designed for medium-sized organizations that work on cloud-based products, namely Kubernetes-based agents/apps.

Ever had a feeling you had too many clusters up in the air that were built by different colleagues/external vendors/clients for testing/developing/marketing purposes? Ever got lost in a mess of multi-cloud/multi-regional deployments of your internal tools/processes? Trolley is here to sort you out!

Fork it, deploy it and enjoy it!

Have questions, suggestions, curse words for the maintainers?

Feel free to reach me here or through the GitHub page:

Lobster fishing is usually a large scale operation run by a business. Yes the fines are appropriate for a business, they wouldn't be for an individual though.

If an individual was to be fined excessively over a handful of lobsters, then again it's another example of overcriminalization and it's likely environmental pressure groups behind these laws, and it's completely wrong.

Yes, I agree with you about the secondary users of the ham band, though. I forgot about that one.

In fact in that post, I was actually advocating for the hobby to be phased out, and replaced with some other unlicensed system, given that so much of it's community is in support of such draconian measures and punishments for those who trivially violate the rules.

As I said, it should be consigned to the "dustbin of history" because of the draconian laws surrounding it. The laws have to be changed, or it's got to go.
It took them way to long to act on crypto. The damage was already done. Trillions of wealth has been destroyed by crypto.
While that is true, I would also say it was a little bit special. There are many reasons why, but I imagine one is, people loved their iPods. When iPhone came out, you now had both your phone and your iPod in a single device. I do think without iTunes and iTunes integration, iPhone may have been a flop.
> Reddit should be free to implement whatever policy it wants to do as long as it is legal

Yeah but that isn't the argument. Just because someone has the right to do something doesn't mean you can't criticize it or, in your own words, capitalize on your position as it is right now to hopefully persuade a change of direction. I don't have a dog in this fight but I dislike when the legality of something is used to dismiss criticism.
> Mad because some entrepreneurs makes the effort to build legitimate business entities, and what certain governments find to do is any scheme to keep them out of legitimity.

This isn't what it looks like to me. It looks to me like the entire point of cyptocurrency was to complete route around regulations that these people thought were too onerous. That's not building a "legitimate" business, that's taking a risk and building a business in the hopes that it will end up being legitimized.

I think that if you're taking a big risk and lose, it's unseemly to be mad at anyone except yourself.

do you think you will have any API driven access to the data held in these services? IE, I don't per se want to have to use a worker to arbitrage between the Cloudflare platform and HTTP access to the data within Cloudflare systems.

Much like R2 has an S3 compat API as well as a way to retrieve files outside of workers (IIRC) will this be true of all forms of storage on the platform?

Sometimes it'd be nice to prime the cache with KV for example, without having to invoke a worker

People can't wrap their heads around the simple obvious explanation: Musk has been "pilled" with new-right ideologies in precisely the same way so many others in the tech ecosystem have been "pilled" with this crap. That's it.

They think because Musk is rich his actions must be part of some kind of 5d chess game. He can't just fall for the same shit normal people fall for.

Rich people are just people with a lot of money. Their brains are not different from our brains. Rich people fall for bullshit ideologies and join cults, develop mental illness, engage in petty vindictive behavior, get addicted to things, and so on.

I have been in this culture (and on HN) for a very long time. I watched the whole alt-right / gamergate / neoreaction wave sweep through the community and indoctrinate huge numbers of people. Musk's conversion to it isn't all that surprising, especially given his well documented problems with long term relationships and possibly being "on the spectrum." New right ideology is really well crafted to hook into male insecurity.

... and yes, a billionaire can be insecure. Same homo sapiens brain we have, folks. (Unless you are a sentient AI.)
Got it, thanks. A blind spot on my part there. It's funny how quickly the concept of losing access to a phone has taken root, I'm fortunate to have never had that happen to me and I need to remember how easily it could.
Because you haven't grasped it either. No-one is saying that argv[argc] != NULL. But in the case being discussed by M. Siebennmann, argc is 0.

The Single Unix Specification says, very clearly:

> The argument arg0 should point to a filename string that is associated with the process being started by one of the exec functions.

> The value in argv[0] should point to a filename string that is associated with the process being started by one of the exec functions.

Then it goes on at length in the rationale at the bottom of that same section about "the use of the word should" and even explains how programs are tripped up by argc being 0.

As you can see, both masfuerte and planede have still clearly not read this, despite that it's said twice in the description, and then has two entire paragraphs devoted to the reasoning underpinning it in the rationale.
That's not correct. Firstly, it had taken off in Japan a long time ago. Blackberry supported it in fact and I remember being at an intern recruiting event where the recruiter was smug about QR codes being on the cusp of mass adoption (being more than a decade early is wrong for this kind of stuff).

The problem was that the UX sucked. The UX today still kind of sucks but it's infinitely better than what was available when QR codes were first around by being integrated into the camera app.

I'm sure we have our fair share of reddit mods here on HN, so apologies for rehashing what I'm sure plenty already know. But I've been chatting a lot with other mods on discord as we get this effort organized, and the general consensus is "reddit has definitely been very generous with their API up to this point and it's totally reasonable of them to charge now, but the price is wildly out of line with everyone else."

I say this because the reddit admins keeps trying to hyper focus on things like "Apollo is inefficient" (it is) or "bots will still work" and other secondary concerns in an effort to avoid the very simple issue: their cost is exhorbitant and no amount of vague "we will adjust based on usage" and "non-commercial tools will be fine" comments are going to assuage our fears.

A quick story: a mod from /r/blind told us all about how heavily they depend on 3rd party tools just to be able to do basic moderation. Despite reddit having an app for seven years they still do not even remotely adequately cover the needs of the visually impaired/blind/etc. The mod said several members who are completely VI will have to step down under the new changes because the app is unusable for them in its current state. Why should they trust reddit will suddenly fix it if they've largely ignored their tickets for 7 years? Why should any of us believe any of their vague promises when this has occurred over and over again? Mods/users get angry, reddit says "we hear you," and everyone calms down.

They're panicking at this point because frankly they know we're too cynical/skeptical for their "trust us" spiel and we actually care about this. I know I am probably coming off as over-dramatic here - reddit is not the center of the universe - but this stuff does matter in my opinion. And I am for one am glad to be participating in this blackout.
the challenge exchange between the authors and community owners are arbitrary, they can be anything the community owner can code and that the author client understands, so POW is possible, but I'm not sure it would stop spam properly, a server can do a lot POW for cheap.

I've watched that interview, congress would ask a loaded question, framed in a fallacy[1], the chair would start answering it, and the congresscritter would interrupt him and throw a tantrum. Repeat 5x.

It wasn't a good look. For the congresscritter.

(I wonder how much money he's gotten from Sam, CZ, and Coinbase...)

[1] The fallacy in question is the congresscritter's claim[2] that a security can't also be a commodity. This is trivially disprovable by a simple example - an isolated company town using scrip, where the scrip also happens to be company stock.

[2] Whenever the chair would start responding to the fallacy, the congresscritter shouts over him, because if he doesn't, his argument-in-the-form-of-a-question falls to pieces.
Read the OP's message?
It’s a little funny that you trivialize points that don’t matter you and think that by doing that you have made some kind of argument against trivialization and in favor of treating people decently.
