> If Coinbase hasn't been able to do it, how could any other company reasonably expect to do it?

Perhaps the answer is "it can't be done"?

If I tried to start "Uber for Hitmen", and I couldn't find a legal path past regulators, that's because the business model itself is illegal, not because regulators meanly refuse to tell me how to legally murder people.
The google scraper ips are very different no?

A lot of the core arguments of the article around trust and safety sound very relevant to the problem I'm trying to solve [0] which is codebase search.

Many orgs have a big enough codebase that they can improve productivity with existing patterns.

why are we discussing 50 year old tech. if porn is so amazing a use case surely there's something in the past 10 years you can point to? also, I looked and did not see anything substantiating your statement that VHS beat betamax because of porn.

the reasons I remember and corroborated online were due to longer playback time and cheaper playback devices and more content, which was the result of the cheaper production costs.
PSA: Applying a consistent moral code when others refuse to do the same leaves you at a competitive disadvantage. It's better to play by the rules of whomever you are playing with. A thief likes to play the theft game. Murders like to play the murder game. Normal people play the polite society game. Play the game that is currently being played, not the game you think everyone should be playing.
I'll say one of the best moments in VR for me is in the lobby of Star Trek: Bridge Crew just nerding out with a complete stranger while waiting for others to join... I think we even sat around and chatted while we had a the whole crew.

You mean Coinbase's press releases?

I don't think any serious people in the world are considering the idea that the US would balance their reserves against cryptocurrency.
I haven't been called that either, but I know what he means... many of Reddit's bigger community comment section basically seems to devolve into politics or racial issues even if it was a photo of a cute kitten. Often you'll basically see the comment section locked after it runs that course. The old reddit wasn't like that unless you visited political subreddits.
The API is still there, and it must still be usable without paying, since the mobile app is using it. So setup mitmproxy on your iPhone and sniff the traffic to figure out how it gets its key, and then replicate that in your scraper.
Small, multi-fuel, engines do have interesting applications. I tend to agree though. The other big thing, these rotary engines have traditionally had poor combustion. Direct injection and turbulent jet ignition have focused on improving combustion efficiency and made tremendous gains. I’m not sure how liquidpiston addresses that, especially with the fuel claims. Traditionally you’d add fuel additives to help with combustion efficiency.
Or Coinbase hired the best legal team in the world to seed confusion because they never wanted or intended to register, but needed a hypothetical position to defend against journalists and skeptics.

Obviously a wild conspiracy claim. But then again we're talking about fintech.
Read Moneyland and Butler to the World. On the legal side of things, we need to close loopholes that allow shell companies to hide oligarch money, and prevent countries from selling diplomatic passports to investors that prevent their prosecution anywhere in the world.
Yeah, this is actually pretty neat. It would be interesting to see how it works under the hood, and how much developer participation is required.

So many questions, too. How does it compete with Codeweavers' solution? How does it compare to Proton? How far back will they promise API coverage, and will old Win32 games run with it?

With any luck, this may enable a Lutris or Bottles-style gaming frontend on Mac again.
I have one particular experience seared into my mind. I was lying in bed after taking 300mcg of LSD and I leaned up onto my elbows and looked over the edge of my bed and witnessed a flowing river of blood filled with human body parts. The most interesting part of the whole experience was it was in no way disturbing or frightening. I'll never forget it.
> They have given very clear guidance for years: basically all cryptocurrencies are securities.

Please point out a single time where Gensler makes a claim even remotely similar to this. The SEC does literally everything else except for giving guidance on which cryptocurrencies are securities.

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.

Not that crypto fans would care all that much about these businesses, but there is a need to onramp and offramp given transactions are made in their vast majority in fiat. An exchange run as a business having at least a lot at stake in ensuring continuity is one of the decent ways to get on with crypto.

If it was my call I would skip the perp and earn products to stay clear of regulators when operating in the US, but there must be stories behind closed doors that we don't easily get to know would be my guess.
That must be the Holy Grail of publishing. You're buying it for the ads. So nobody complains that it's packed absolutely full of ads. And they're selling it to you. That's amazing. (And it was true! We did want to see the ads!)
It won’t have a very high price, for one. Other than that, it won’t have screen resolutions as high as this, nor have as many cameras and mics as the Pro version. It may not have some features in the software either.

It helps to think about the “SE” models of iPhone and Apple Watch in relation to this. And it will have its own target customer base for which it makes more sense than the Pro.
Or: incumbent banks worried about disruption have the stronger lobby/influence.
Have you tried watching and listening to harsh noise? Idk if it'd overstimulate you, but it might help you learn to break out of reality. It's also harder to do if you're stressed.
> It’s obvious how a 10 second clip scales to 10 minutes or 10 hours or 10 days.

A 10 second clip that will have been tuned to perfection by the very best editors for the demo is one thing. A live, un/rough-edited capture of a game broadcast in real time is quite different.

I've seen some truly amazing sports coverage to show off my OLED TV when I bought it. I still have the USB drive the TV came with and it does indeed look gorgeous. You know what doesn't look quite so good? Live broadcasts of those same sports. They are pixelated with some macroblocking and judder and posterization as the cameras quickly pan around the field and cut randomly.

It still looks pretty good but no way near as good as the minute long demo video LG used to show off how good their TV can look.

Obviously I've not used a Vision Pro so my comment isn't about the Vision Pro specifically, just that it is quite easy to make things look very good in a highly tuned demo for something vs real world broadcast quality.
This is great work and I commend it. But in other threads people are acting like Asahi Linux hardware support is 100% complete. My fear is that if I were to go this route and purchase the hardware I'd be seeing fraction of the performance and capability I would in Mac OS. To be honest this blog post seems like the project has a long ways to go, not that it is nearly completion.

I just can't justify buying hardware from a company that is so hostile to developers and hackers as nice as it may be.

> In order to satisfy the "common enterprise" aspect of the Howey test, federal courts require that there be either "horizontal commonality" or "vertical commonality." See Revak v. SEC Realty Corp., 18 F.3d. 81, 87-88 (2d Cir. 1994) (discussing horizontal commonality as "the tying of each individual investor's fortunes to the fortunes of the other investors by the pooling of assets, usually combined with the pro-rata distribution of profits" and two variants of vertical commonality, which focus "on the relationship between the promoter and the body of investors"). The Commission, on the other hand, does not require vertical or horizontal commonality per se, nor does it view a "common enterprise" as a distinct element of the term "investment contract." In re Barkate, 57 S.E.C. 488, 496 n.13 (Apr. 8, 2004); see also the Commission's Supplemental Brief at 14 in SEC v. Edwards, 540 U.S. 389 (2004) (on remand to the 11th Circuit).
Most of the nausea issues in VR stem from the disconnect between moving in virtual space without moving in the real world, and Apple seems to be focusing on applications which maintain a 1:1 mapping between real and virtual movement. Games are where that's most likely to be an issue and they're very much not focusing on actual VR gaming, only playing non-VR games in VR on a virtual screen.
I can’t wait for M2 (pro) support for my MacBook Pro. I was long term Thinkpad/Arch Linux user and really want to go back to such setup. Sadly I didn’t find anything better hardware-wise than the MacBook but I love Linux.

And there is a huge difference between the people who 'discussed implementing it with [american] lawyers' and people who actually worked with EU watchdogs and implemented changes.
Can I use the API without going through Seam servers at all? That is, communicate directly with the device (or the manufacturer's cloud)?
This example is basically adding a low pass signal filter on a signal, not processing speed.

Every electronic device you use requires low pass signal processing to function and transfer information.

It isn't just about speed. A clear image on your TV is a clear advantage over static.

Similarly, there is a clear "computational advantage" to processing data at the right rate it is being transmitted. You can process a binary signal at faster rate than transmission, but 100% of your data will be lost.
Now I am a lowly programmer + VR enthusiast, so my opinion does not count. But, how do big companies allow Apple to get away with such easy wins !??

Apple said : "We are going to throw infinite money at a pilot product that's basically a tech demo, and convince the market that this tech is for-real-for-real."

Meanwhile, Facebook refused to create a balls-to-the-wall VR headset for years and still ended up with a conservative 1500$ device even though they knew no one will purchase it. T̶o̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶f̶a̶i̶r̶,̶ ̶C̶a̶r̶m̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶h̶a̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶e̶n̶ ̶p̶u̶s̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶-̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶d̶e̶v̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶g̶o̶t̶ ̶s̶i̶d̶e̶l̶i̶n̶e̶d̶ ̶b̶y̶ ̶Z̶u̶c̶k̶'̶s̶ ̶p̶u̶s̶h̶ ̶t̶o̶w̶a̶r̶d̶s̶ ̶c̶h̶e̶a̶p̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶s̶c̶a̶l̶e̶.̶ (I might have mis-remembered)

Apple's strategy is dead obvious. Of course. When you want people to change how they have consumed information for decades, you HAVE to blow their socks off. Samsung understood this with the 2000$ Fold devices. The first computers cost tens-of-thousands of 2023 dollars. Car manufacturers understand this with Halo cars.

Facebook had a 7-8 year head start, and it never struck them to lead with a 'Halo VR device' ? Meta has among the best ML teams in the world who could produce 'Apple quality' face renders with ease. Sadly, the entire group was strapped down due to limitations of the kind of compute you can fit into a 400$ device.

What makes Apple great:

All big companies have competent employees. Competent employees come together in dysfunctional manners. 100 good ideas produce 1 terrible one and the final result looks worse than any of the initial solutions.

Apple somehow manages to preserve their obvious wisdoms & the brilliance of the best ideas across their development (product and software) process. The constant erosion caused by committees, meetings & standard communication friction does not atrophy the seed that was the initial idea.

It seems like faint praise. But, despite sounding easy, Apple seems to be the only company that's able to do this on a consistent basis with physical electronics. (video games, cars, construction projects achieve this in their field, but consumer electronics seems to completely lack this, barring Apple)
In the UK football broadcasting is regulated. The traditional top-flight league games kick off at 3pm on Saturday. None of those matches are allowed to be broadcast to maintain gate revenues for the clubs. Very roughly speaking only 3 matches on Sunday and one or two on weekday evenings are broadcast. Cup matches etc are allowed to be broadcast too.

All these rules only govern what they can broadcast to UK citizens though. If you have a globally popular sport/product like the Premier League you can broadcast the Saturday 3pm matches to them, as they're unlikely to be able to attend a match anyway.

All that aside I actually think cycling could be a wonderful sport to view in this format. Great screnery shots from helicopters and close up peleton shots captured on motorbikes. Also strap into your turbo trainer to ride along for an hour too!
If you're commenting on this without even having read Coinbase's 32-page Petition for Rulemaking [0] from July 21, 2022, which is extensively footnoted about how the existing securities laws cannot apply to cryptocurrencies, so new rulemaking is needed, please stop and read it before you reveal your ignorance.

The SEC's failure to respond to this as required by law is the subject of Coinbase's lawsuit against them from April.

It's just simply and outrageously false to pretend there is some clearcut way Coinbase could have registered, or even been sure which assets the SEC was going to consider securities.

There isn't, and the SEC has already been sued about their failure to provide it.

Yeah obviously there are safety benefits. There are also safety benefits to having surveillance cameras on every street corner. And think of the lives we could save if everybody was implanted with a tracking chip at birth so we could instantly know if they're in distress. Sometimes the juice ain't worth the squeeze.
Well if you're going to be a regulated securities broker-dealer you can't very well trade in illegal unregistered securities now can you?
It's really awesome but I think what we really want eventually is to be able to project those displays into the space around is without having to wear any goggles. No doubt we'll get there eventually. Until then headsets can become smaller and lighter and also we may be able to get rid of the cables.
Why stop at defining "common enterprise"? We should also define "define", "common", "enter" and "prise". After all we need a common basis, folks!
I distinctly remember buying a 1GB hard drive in 1992 for $1300 via an ad in Computer Shopper. And that was a really good price!
I don't understand what you're trying to say.

The article says that there is no such thing as "learned helplessness". To match what the article says, I can turn your example into: when you don't know how to read, reading means nothing. One has to learn to read in order to make sense of the words.

You do not learn to ignore words by reading without knowing how to ("learned helplessness"), you learn to read words.

Yawar’s explained it all, but I’ll share tidbits of my own.

When reading ocaml on _text_ like from GitHub, I personally accept that I won’t need to know the type and underlying data structures just yet unless I read and have open the .mli file.

I’m excited first and foremost because we can have async code feel synchronous like Go.

How does the code run? IO runtime is defined in userland, like Rust’s Tokio. That’s the “Eio_main.run” part. Underneath, eio spins up and manages processes in a non blocking manner, even scheduling work.

Since effects are essentially resumable exceptions, this particular http request throws an effect to the runtime. The logic and this particular process pauses (okay I may be wrong here). Logic flow now continues somewhere in our runtime level (the effect handler), where all the async IO work happens. The runtime resumes the child process and returns the http result back to the child via a “delimited continuation”.
"And yes, the team is already working on Vulkan."

This can do more for gaming on the Mac than Apple's efforts combined.
Why not outright prohibit it then? Lack of clarity on its legal status is the matter being discussed here.
The Quest has live VR NBA games, and it's not selling a ton of $500 headsets for that use case, so I somehow doubt that it's going to move a lot of $3500 headsets.

Literally no one is talking about how all of the LLMs are training on Reddit data via the API.

Yes, Reddit is closing on its IPO because it’s not a non-profit.

But that doesn’t mean they should be forced to provide a low cost service to OpenAI, Microsoft, Google and the entire investor community backing LLM startups.

From the methods section of the abstract: “We excluded post-fibrinolysis patients, patients with old stents, and those who presented more than 24 hours
after the onset of pain.”[edit: I misread the PDF version which included multiple abstracts, the methods I’m referring to was from a separate study with the title cutoff, this specific abstract didn’t specify. But from below and table 1 in: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/20140... which looked at 68,000 STEMIs, 3.1% presented > 12 hours and 8.4% had an unknown time of symptom onset. Wouldn’t explain the magnitude of effect seen in this study. Circadian effects on STEMI and increased incidence on Monday are not new observations.]

Don’t think late presentation STEMIs are that common to begin with for your argument to have logical sense, this is the worst form of a “heart attack”.

From this single center study presentations > 12 hours only comprised 10%.

Is it normal to use snapshots to fix mistakes?
I've never actually fixed my computer. I just use snapshots whenever I think I'm about to break something so if something does break I just roll back to before I made my mistake and try again. Disk space is basically free these days so it is feasible to store a lot of snapshots of my computer. How did people live before we had huge cheap disks that enable us to basically use time travel to fix all of our mistakes?
The process of packaging the loans together is always the part that I don't understand.

Better yet, I understand why one would do it but the process of how it happens, what are the criterias and finally how would the original underwriter go about selling the now packaged loans is still something I don't understand.

Also what are the data that investors look at when they trade such instruments. For example with stocks one looks at earnings, balance sheets, moats etc. But with MBS what are the parameters? You can only know for sure by exploding the MBS and analyze the underlying loans one by one like that guy did in 2007/2008.
I wonder if the new Mac Pro's full PCI Express support resolves any limitations that prevents people from using GPUs over Thunderbolt on existing Apple Silicon hardware (this is apparently a hardware limitation).

Although the Mac Pro's PCIe extensibility makes it a pretty mystifying niche product from Apple without providing memory and GPU expandability, once Asahi Linux gets running on there you should be able to not get the full abilities of the latest Vulkan and full OpenGL 4.6 by putting in a recent AMD card. The open source Radeon drivers should "just work" on ARM as they do in the Talos II POWER-based workstation, if they can be stably initialized that is. Heck, Nvidia publishes a binary Linux aarch64 driver and they sound petty enough with Apple to try to make that work.

You could have Asahi Linux running and delegate any not-yet-supported hardware to the 7 PCIe devices it supports. Would be quite a mighty ARM Linux workstation. Again though - only if Apple has the PCI Express support for it.
