> That many Americans lost money over.

This requires a citation with data points, eg how many Americans lost money, how much money did they lose, etc. Because, what if there are more Americans who've made money than those who have lost?

> SEC said Coinbase has since at least 2019 made billions of dollars by handling cryptocurrency transactions, while evading the disclosure requirements meant to protect investors

This is a pure framing - it doesn't matter how much money Coinbase made. Otherwise, it means that if you don't make _billions_, you can conveniently avoid the disclosure requirements intended to protect investors. So really, they should've written something like: "Coinbase has been facilitating cryptocurrency transactions since at least 2019, while evading the disclosure requirements intended to protect investors".

While I do understand that these are the legal requirements, the protect investors "narrative" (khm-khm, requirement) is a joke. People lose money trading stocks / options / etc every day. To me, as a consumer, there is zero difference between trading AAPL on TD Ameritrade App vs trading crypto through Coinbase App. How's TD Ameritrade protecting me from losing money?

That's not what I mean. It's up for debate whether Clojure is a real Lisp, but that aside, they're farther apart in paradigms than most languages are. One is an immutable functional language running on a JVM and the other is a hodgepodge of OOP concepts and low level programming capabilities.

I don't mean to say this as a dig on Lisp, but the reason you didn't just list Clojure projects or just CommonLisp projects is because we would transparently see how few have actually worked for either of them. So when you lump them together, it comes off like we're scraping the bottom of the barrel for examples, and that's not even considering how much these companies actually use Lisp or have continued using it.

It's fair to say Lisp is powerful in a niche.

I mean Coinbase literally sued the SEC to get them to define more appropriate rules. So I have a hard time buying that Coinbase just ran away with it and didn't try to get things more legalized. They realized there was jeopardy in how they operated and wanted to get things clarified.
I posted it to point out how ridiculous it is to problematize the phenomenon.
You are speaking with wisdom. I completely agree.

We must remember that kids are very inexperienced in life, sometimes it is necessary to state this obvious fact.
Parents have to make decisions for our kids based on how much life-experience they have. I don't let my 3 year old decide what to have for dinner, because it would cause him to be sick very quickly. We can bring this full circle to the OP: We don't let our kids have their own smartphones before they reach their teens, and I think that is wise.
I'm absolutely able to consider a different perspective! I simply disagree with you. Maybe in ten years, I will have changed my mind. Who knows? We'll see.
Correct but that doesn’t mean that the experience can’t be shared and talked about later.

Which is my definition of a shared experience.

Terms in law need to have a commonly accepted definition in order for anyone to decide court cases. Sometimes case law has an effect to chnage the definition.

What is your point? That definitions are irrelevant, and anyone can claim any combination of words ?

Isn't the right solution to {chronic pain, trauma and broken self-worth, inability to afford safe housing} to escape the internal/external situations incompatible with a fulfilling life, rather than to optimize for a "new normal" devoid of safety and a healthy environment? The problem arises when finding a better state is unattainable with the mental and financial resources available.
Non-lethal munitions can also be deadly.

They are trying to create a “new” product category

But they haven't. Its a VR/AR headset; just relatively powerful and expensive; absolutely no need for the new terminology technologically; its pure marketing.
The primary purpose of this headset is not a recording device even if it can record, so I do not really see a point in your comment. Most of content creation will happen by other means.
Is this open source? I’d love to help out
Yes. Whitehatting is ethically fine if you actually know they are scammers.
Only if they catch you.
> The author says he used all the VR systems that exist under the sun, but he doesn't mention SimulaVR.

I don't think SimulaVR counts, since all they have so far is a few prototypes and a single pre-release build sent to an external reviewer (https://simulavr.com/blog/review-unit-in-transit/). And unless the author is that reviewer (or works for SimulaVR), he can't have used it.
Please read the actual Petition for Rulemaking Coinbase filed in July 2022. It is extensively footnoted about how the "decades of case law" don't apply to this new thing that has only existed for 1.3 decades and was designed around the existing laws on purpose.

That is, read it if you actually want to understand the situation.

I do think this is the primary source document that people need to be discussing, rather than the various articles posted around here today.

Not that articles are bad, but the court-documents are rather straight forward in the claims and what's exactly the SEC is having issue with. So why add another (potential) source of bias (ie: the various news websites adding their own view on things), when the SEC's opinion is the one that matters as far as the courts are concerned?
I find it funny also. This fact seemed to have its moment in the sun for about 15 minutes a few months ago when everyone was first talking about ChatGPT and then everyone forgot?
Monero is private and perfectly usable for payments. I've gotten paid in Monero, works great. People just need to start using it.
The facts are the SEC thinks Coinbase ran afoul of the laws and regulations around securities. Coinbase has been trying to get the SEC to either explicitly or implicitly allow Coinbase's operations, and the SEC declined to do so.

They probably went through several legal teams before they found one that could be willing to try some wild strategy, or they were willing to take the Uber approach and break the law and cash the checks, hoping to outrun law enforcement and lobby for the laws to change.

Yeah, I can see they're trading in unregistered securities, and they're going to have the book thrown at them for it. Anyone that's not a crypto fanboy can see they were trading in unregistered securities.
Letting the police install video cameras and microphones inside your home would also have many benefits. They could catch burglars, or call an ambulance if you have a heart attack. What could go wrong?

This is pretty neat! Is the intent to serve small consumers (e.g. people who want to incorporate IoT devices into a smart home), or larger companies (e.g. the IoT manufacturers themselves)?

Would love to get to a place where I could "terraform apply" my IoT devices configuration. Any plans to build this? It's only a small jump from a well-documented API in an OpenAPI spec to a terraform provider.
I did jump the gun a little on posting this here, there's a WWDC session on it that's meant to start at 8AM PDT[1] (about half an hour from now) so hopefully there's a lot more information in that.

Every time I see an archival process like this I'm amazed at all the effort and wonder if we'll ever get something like the process described in "Rainbows End" by Vernor Vinge where a library is archived by essentially shredding the books and blowing that shredded material through a tube stuffed with high speed high quality cameras and just gluing them all back together in software. It's a very fun book that cranks up to a surprisingly exciting ending.
Ransomware. The ransomware economy is powered by crypto, did not exist before crypto, and would not exist without the key feature of crypto, that it allows transfer of money without KYC.
> I just can't justify buying hardware from a company that is so hostile to developers and hackers as nice as it may be.

I don't think it's hostile, I think they're just hands-off; they throw the hardware over the fence and say, "if you wanna make use of it, here's our software; if you don't like our software, sorry no docs but you're free to write your own". Which is exactly what's happening.

I mean it would be nice if Apple had released more documentation, but I totally understand if they don't want the burden of supporting it.
> Am I missing something with discord

Not necessarily. But whenever I post on Reddit for a language or programming sub, I eventually get directed to slack because the reddit answers "won't be that good." Discord can fill that niche as well
Imo it's an issue either way. I'm absolutely with you that AI shouldn't have guns, but I don't think police should have any remotely activated guns.
Staffing tends to be lower on weekends AFAIK, could it be triggered by extra stress from not getting proper care during the weekend?

Yeah, that narrative works for lots of products. But humans aren't cows and can walk away, and it has happened before. Arguably, it's happening now on Facebook and Twitter. Reddit will just be another dying product idea.
Surveillance cameras on the right corners are a really good idea. Excellent way to make policing more objective. I wrote about that here: https://a16z.com/2021/07/13/investing-in-flock-safety/

Turns out, marginalized and minority communities, counter-intuitively, tend to prefer it the most.

As for tracking chip -- we don't do it at birth, because we don't need to. Most people over the age of 15 keep a cell phone on them which provides tracking capability / cellular triangulation. It's used to save lives and apprehend criminals constantly. The privacy issues are actually more marketing based and have nothing to do with the GPS / triangulation issues, and people don't want to solve those, unfortunately.
What do you mean by "much faster"? Those images are opened pretty much instantly both in desktop chrome and in iOS chrome. If you didn't mention that they're JXL, I would never notice that.
Ah you're right, it was Sherlock 3 that copied the Watson features. Mostly related to searching the web for things like ebay listings, recipes, stocks, software.

So the Watson name was probably inspired by Apple's from previous versions, but the Sherlock 3 feature set definitely got cloned from Karelia's.
What latency do you expect?

In 1934, things moved slowly. Scaling was entirely manual and mostly linear, if you were an unregistered broker, to handle a thousand times more transactions you needed to hire approximately thousand times more brokers, and changes like that would get noticed quickly. Someone in 1934 might have been proud of how fast-paced they could operate, given that in the preceding two decades the telephone had exploded in popularity. They could even place a trans-continental phone call, and communicate with someone a thousand miles away; imagine that!

Governments designed and tested in the 1700s and 1800s should not be expected to anticipate and seamlessly cope with technological change that is accelerating faster and faster.
Crypto isn't some completely new thing that needs a new set of regulatory rules. The tech behind it is new, but it's really just another currency for the most part. Are there some differences? Yes! But it is not so different that most of the rules either don't apply or it's hard to see how they apply.

From a follow up post on Mastadon https://social.treehouse.systems/@AsahiLinux/110497512340479...:

"Also in this update:

We now have a cpuidle driver, which significantly lowers idle power consumption by enabling deep CPU sleep. You should also get better battery runtime both idle and during sleep, especially on M1 Pro/Max machines.

Thanks to the cpuidle driver, s2idle now works properly, which should fix timekeeping issues causing journald to crash.

Also thanks to the cpuidle driver, CPU boost states are now enabled for single- and low-threaded workloads, noticeably increasing single-core performance.

Thermal throttling is now enabled, which should keep thermals in check on fanless (Air) models. There was never a risk of overheating (as there are hard cutoffs), but the behavior should now more closely match how macOS works, and avoid things getting too toasty on your lap.

Random touchpad instability woes should now finally be gone, thanks to bugfixes in both the M1 (SPI) and M2 (MTP) touchpad drivers.

A bugfix to the audio subsystem that fixes stability issues with the headphone jack codec.

New firmware-based battery charge control, which offers fixed a 75%/80% threshold setting. To use this, you need to update your system firmware to at least version 13.0, which you can do by simply updating your macOS partition to at least that version or newer. This new charge control method also works in sleep mode.

U-Boot now supports the Type A USB ports (and non-TB ports on the iMac), so you can use a keyboard connected to any port to control your bootloader.

And last but not least, this kernel release includes base support for the M2 Pro/Max/Ultra SoCs! We are not enabling installs on these machines yet as we still have some loose ends to tie, but you can expect to see support for this year's new hardware soon."
You pick whatever suites your business best and register either with the SEC or CFTC. Way safer than saying, to hell with it, I do what I want.
Reddit is able to license its content in a way that prevents companies from using it while leaving the API free.

In fact, making the API paid does nothing for that goal. Scrapping has been long established as legal so if their license doesn’t change, nothing about LLMs using their content will either

Didn't Twitter do this back in like 2012? I remember there being a lot of anger about it back then. I don't think it was as crippling as the most recent Twitter API changes (where Reddit seems to be taking inspiration from).

> And in 2012, Twitter introduced stricter usage limits for its API, "completely crippling" some developers. While these moves successfully increased the stability and security of the service, they were broadly perceived as hostile to developers, causing them to lose trust in the platform.

You'd temporarily lose some hardware support (documented) while it's being worked on. But I'm not sure why you expect losing performance? This is running native code. Same binary will run the same on both systems (+/- the llvm version differences).

Well, given that there are clear ways of issuing securities that have worked for hundreds of years that aren't being followed and that people generally don't get the rug pulled in normal securities, I'd say that it's less dangerous in many obvious ways.

“ think many (perhaps almost all) other nations have better definitions around securities”

That’s absurd. American markets are preferred by most of the planet. You may choose to keep your money out based on principal, but it won’t be a financially driven choice. It’s like buying a car based on the cars’ color. It’s one aspect but not one of the more important aspects. For most people, the criteria would be returns vs risk. American markets are relatively low risk and high return, even if we aren’t very democratic lately.
While it seems that some people feel reddit is "owed" something when its data is used by machine learning companies, the reality is that reddit themselves claims that posts are owned by users and so really they are not in any position to be owed anything.

Why not just give them brutally omniscient unlimited power over us, by your logic that would be radically beneficial to our health and safety. You’re starting from the misguided idea that police actively save people from crime’s dangers, and speak nothing to concern for giving power to armed thugs over us besides cheering it on. Just baseless copaganda and shameful to see celebrated.

How does the logic work that giving more tech and power and resources somehow reduces power

Those who rush to analyze objective stats on this fail to recognize how little oversight and accountability there is for police, numbers often don’t meaningfully exist. Like asking for numbers from China, it’s just a bow to authority. The critical analysis and objectivity of that is performative.

The Campbell, CA police department recently started such a program.

And no one is seriously proposing mounting weapons on civilian drones. That is essentially already banned by ATF and FAA rules.

The problem is that, if cryptocurrency tokens are securities, Coinbase's business model is illegal under current securities law.

> ... if various crypto assets are deemed securities, Coinbase would therefore need to register as a securities exchange, in order to keep offering trading in those assets.

Furthermore, under current securities law, securities exchanges are not permitted to offer services directly to retail customers, and Coinbase could theoretically be forced to separate the exchange and broker portions of the business.
