Desktop computer have some advantages that the so-called i-devices lack even for tasks that are not computer-centric.

The main one for me is the longevity of your data. It is connected to the control over your data you have in a desktop OS. Good luck finding what you did five years ago in an app in some device and reproducing it now. You are at the mercy of some proprietary format the app creator chose, the availability of the app at a later stage, whether you saved your work in a cloud service, whether you kept your old device running, the operating system updates you installed, .....

With a desktop you can archive your work, whatever it might be, in sequences of bits that reside in your disk. Open source software and virtual machines go a long way for helping reproducibility.

Not all tasks benefit from reproducibility and longevity but I'd argue they include a lot more than computer programming

Then that includes the employees and executives at Amazon and is all the more reason to not allow them to punish others for behavior that is (according to you) universal.

Correct - but there would still be parts and rust for quite awhile.
> Why didn't Coinbase just register everything non-Bitcoin?

The organizations that created the assets have to register them as securities, Coinbase didn't create the assets.

A broker-dealer (a securities exchange) can only trade registered securities, broker-dealers have to register to exist. So even if Coinbase went through the process of registering as a broker dealer (to be a securities exchange), they could not trade unregistered crypto securities, and cannot unilaterally register things they didn't create as securities.

Registered crypto securities are a mixture of non-existent, or not the things people want to trade. There are zero popular registered crypto securities.

Those organizations with those "unregistered securities" quote on quote, also don't believe they are creating securities at all, just digital products, cryptoassets. A distinct asset class. This should be possible to do compliantly, but it is also not clear how to do so or where the line is.

Regardless, those organizations have not been approached by the SEC saying "hey you created unregistered securities and sold them, we're suing you".

The SEC has indeed tried a couple of those cases against different crypto assets and their creators and had mixed results, the well funded ones are dragging the SEC through court for half a decade now, for a single case. While the number of crypto assets continues to balloon every single day.

So the SEC changed its strategy recently and started suing exchanges using circular logic, claiming assets that they never said were securities to be securities and saying "these are unregistered securities and you are trading them in violation of Federal Securities laws", having never proved in court that these were securities.
The irony here is that the line used to be "Linux is only free if your time has no value", but with all the junk you need to remove from Windows to make it usable, we could say "Windows is only $140 if your time has no value".

(MacOS is no saint either, I vivdly remember the frustration of having to run random system commands taken off the internet to try in vain to get "smart sleep" to work. If I'm going to have to futz with my system regardless, I'll just use Linux.)
I'm definitely not the general public, but the biggest factor for me has always been screen resolution, not size or weight. Until HMDs can achieve 8K+ per eye and match the fidelity of a sub-$100 4K monitor, I'm not going to be interested.
The way I think about it, is that if you are lucky enough to get remote work, location doesn't matter.
Stiglitz main points of his talk is he believes the central banks are mostly wrong. He says they will succeed in taming inflation only by slowing down the economy / destroying economic activity (one way of doing it?) he suggests that there are far better avenues of action to pursue but the consensus is so strong on “let’s do what worked before” (Volcker) that they are doing things that are sometimes even counter to their anti-inflation goals in some markets.

I believe (from memory) he says particularly in housing he believes the current policy will lead nowhere since increased interest rates disincentivise construction.
I use a global journal. Just a wirebound notebook to jot notes. I write down user story or bug fix ids if I'm working on those, if not I'll try and make some sort of title to what I'm doing. I find it is handy when a problem comes up, I can say I fixed the issue, here's what I did and why. Or if it's new development and I'm asked why didn't I do blah, I can show that I did and here are the results and why I chose alt-blah. Mostly it's a memory tool.
Having read through a bunch of outraged comments the issue seems to have been:

How come those numbers could be used to support anti-ethical policies, to not say outright conspiracy, that prevented the elucidation of a pandemic that decimated millions?
Obviously I can’t defend “all content types” to the level that say, the darkweb can. I’ll still abide by the law. That said, I don’t have the pressure of ad networks to filter out content.

I still have pressures however. Using Stripe and credit cards for payment processing means I have to ensure the sites primary purpose isn’t adult content, as if that content dominates its very likely Stripe will choose to no longer do business with me. I can still support it, but it can’t be the primary purpose.
Which, when you think about it makes sense. Why would consumer protection folks waive consumer protections simply because the would-be issuer confirmed there was no intrinsic value in the offering?
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my 7 week old daughter to a sudden and unknown illness in November 2020. I have had 2 sons since and they are both healthy. I still think of the things I’ll never get to do with her with great sadness and heartache.
It's still a false positive, which is what we're talking about, unless cloudflare itself is the bad actor and they're deliberately blocking normal VPN users. Which I'm sure there's money if you dig. Governments for one would happily pay to de-anonymize or block "misbehaving" citizens.
How effective do you think the access control mechanisms in Wayland/PipeWire will be? I'm not sure how widely used they are right now but it seems like a step in the right direction rather than allowing all Wayland clients all the privileged extensions (screen recording, input methods) nullifying most security benefits over X11. Also xdg-dbus-proxy exists for dbus though its security depends on what peers you allow it to talk to.
> Why didn't Coinbase just register everything non-Bitcoin? Would that have someone limited/destroyed its business model in the way the quote above suggests?

Coinbase wouldn't be the one to register the security - the company offering the security would be the one registering it. Coinbase may have some securities of its own - but it is unlikely that it would be able to provide the necessary information for much of them or take on the necessary responsibilities for providing the auditing.

https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-ba...

The registration forms a company files with the SEC provide significant information, including:

A description of the company's properties and business;
A description of the security to be offered for sale;
Information about the management of the company; and
Financial statements certified by independent accountants.

https://www.americanbar.org/groups/business_law/resources/bu...

> In order to register a security under the Securities Act, a company must file a registration statement with the SEC. Typically the type of registration statement used for an initial public offering will be a Form S-1 Registration Statement (Form S-1). A Form S-1 includes two parts (Part I and Part II). Part I is the prospectus, the legal offering or “selling” document. In the prospectus, the “issuer” of the securities must describe in the prospectus important facts about its business operations, financial condition, results of operations, risk factors, and management. It must also include audited financial statements. The prospectus must be delivered to everyone who buys the securities, as well as anyone who is made an offer to purchase the securities. Part II contains additional information that an issuer does not have to deliver to investors but must file with the SEC, such as copies of material contracts, signatures of management and other representations.

Most organizations providing cryptocurrency based securities are unable or unwilling to provide the required information.

> Do you not see the irony in your comment?

Of course I do? I'm well aware that the spam is obviously a direct result of the lack of any content moderation, in the name of anti-censorship. I can oppose censorship as a general concept while also acknowledging that it's difficult (or maybe impossible) to build publicly accessible Internet communities that are of high quality in their discussion while also being resistant to censorship. Recognizing that doesn't mean I have to stop supporting attempts to make them play nicely.
The 2nd Amendment receives a lot of coverage, yes.

Broadly speaking, for a 2A advocate, every 2A conversation is also a conversation about 4A, 1A, 9A, etc. For example, the track record of the government on the Bill of Rights is seen as a rationale for staunchly protecting 2A. And the inverse: they feel the elimination of 2A will only clear the way for the complete disregard of the other Amendments.

Broadly speaking, those opposed to 2A think it highly unlikely that the state would ever side against the people in a "developed" nation in any meaningful way* (in contradiction with not just the history of states across time, but very contemporary examples in other countries).

But as Adam Michnik said, "the crucial distinction between systems...was no longer ideological. The main political difference was between those who did, and those who did not, believe that the citizen could - or should - be the property of the state." This observation from the 80's(?) in Eastern Europe becomes more relevant to the United States as the years go by, it seems. I'm writing this comment in a post about the US government building a massive data warehouse on its citizens, while coming out of the experience of the COVID years and in the context of the expose of the US government using the media corporations for public discourse censorship.

* Yes, I know there are grey areas in the middle and nuances to arguments, principally boiling down to moderation ("we just want common sense regulation"), gaslighting ("nobody wants to take your guns"), and futility ("you need an F-15 not an AR-15 to fight the government"), etc. Again, the comments above are intentionally broad to illustrate the contrast in political philosophy.

But yes, as a strong 2A advocate, I agree that the incursions on the other Amendments need more coverage. I would go so far as to say it's part and parcel to every 2A conversation.
I don't disagree. There's a few subs that are (were) distinctly different, like /r/askhistorians, but most mods don't put in the effort to cultivate a distinct community so it trends towards the metaculture. The few subs that do (did) have their own distinct culture were often pretty great though.

Vouched. One of the things as we get older is not being able to slog out big days. Sleep is very important and underrated by many.

However I suspect given your symptoms you might benefit from taking quarter teaspoon of pure quality creatine every day. From my use of it from time to time, I suspect less is best, than the larger quantities some people use to bulk up since I've asked a few who do use it a lot, if they noticed this and that as way of cognitive improvements ... and they didn't have much to say on it.
> "Salty much FTX Bro?"

FTX can still be profitable today if they allow SBF to raise funds. They just didn't understand his vision.
I also have my doubts. Meta, with three near ubiquitous products (FB, Instagram, Whatsapp) had trouble reaching 1B MAU so I have questions on this figure.
"Vast majority" isn't clarity.

"Here is how we interpret the Howey test in relation to cryptocurrencies, and here is a ten step process for how we determine whether each particular cryptocurrency is a security" is clarity.

Can you imagine if, back when the SEC first formed in 1934, they put out a press release saying "the vast majority of stocks are securities and need to come register, but not The Bank Of New York, their stock is not a security". Imagine that the SEC didn't elaborate on why they didn't consider that one stock to not be a security, and they didn't elaborate on the reasoning process that led them to that decision.

That's what's happening right now, but with cryptocurrencies.

The 2023 SEC is very different from the 1934 SEC.

Neither is particularly helpful, though I should point out that American trauma from 9/11 wasn't based on the number of people who died but rather the symbol of how the attack was executed, and the fact that it happened on US soil.

If the WTC towers were somehow successfully evacuated before collapse, and only 200 people died instead of 3000 (or however there were on the 2 planes), the cultural effect on the country would've been the same.
Isaac Asimov prefigured prompt engineering for visuals in his short story "Gold", about a science fiction author paying a CGI company to adapt one of his novels.

The process is presented as a performance... the voice actors act, and on the screen visuals appear that are entire generated by the computer. No rigging models and rendering. No drawing. Just dialing up the amount of "serpent" on a character in one scene, or dialing back on a character's age briefly.

As the protagonist describes it:

> It was watched in silence, and Willard said, "It was good, but I think you'll grant it was not good enough. I'm going to ask you all to listen to me, so that I can explain what we're trying to do. Computerized theater is not new, as you all know. Voices and images have been built up to beyond what human beings can do. You don't have to break your speechifying in order to breathe; the range and quality of the voices are almost limitless; and the images can change to suit the words and action. Still, the technique has only been used, so far, for childish purposes. What we intend now is to make the first serious compu-drama the world has ever seen, and nothing will do—for me, at any rate—but to start at the top. I want to do the greatest play written by the greatest playwright in history: King Lear by William Shakespeare.

and later

>"The snake motif," said Willard. "Give me some of that and there can be less hiss in Lear's voice. Of course, I don't want you to show a snake. The too obvious doesn't work. I want a snake there that people can't see but that they can feel without quite noting why they feel. I want them to know a snake is there without really knowing it is there, so that it will chill them to the bone, as Lear's speech should. So when we do it over, Meg, give us a snake that is not a snake."
Ask HN: Does anyone work on the Amazon Selling Partner API team?
We have an urgent issue since our application has been in a "suppressed state" and new customers are unable to authorize with our Amazon Selling Partner application for over a week now. We have been following up on our case repeatedly with no response. We have also opened multiple cases but they just get closed and merged. Can anyone on the team please look into our case ID: 12961532901? Thanks
Is there a statute of limitations or a similar concept? For example, hypothetically would it be possible 30 years after the Ethereum ICO for the SEC to declare that ETH has been a security the entire time? As of now, it's been almost 10 years since the Ethereum ICO.

Curious do we know much they charge?
Rather that claim knowledge, I would suggest you read Matt Levine's newsletter on this. He is a former securities lawyer who is extremely knowledgeable. -- I mean very extremely, he wrote an entire Business Week magazine about it.

Some key takeaways: For historical reasons as well as practical ones (who would you sue) BTC and ETH are probably considered commodities. Most of the rest are very similar to ICOs which were securities and rife with fraud. But you can't really go after the issuers very easily for a lot of reasons. But there are two parts to the SECs laws. One part is the issuance of secuirties, the second part is the brokers (or in this case exchanges). FTX, Binance, Coinbase, do things that would be illegal to do with securities (conflicts, lack of disclosure etc.). The SEC is just pointing out that most coins are securities and what they are doing is illegal under current law.

100% there are some great options on the market right now and I can't imagine anyone trying all of them.

The reality is that most of the products on that list are tackling the problem in a different way, targeting their own specific niche.

I would only recommend looking at the products that resonate with your needs.

With us for example, if our focus on Developer Experience and fitting into your coding workflow resonates, that's great, you should try us out in comparison to the others that position that way.

But if that doesn't resonate and say Growthbook's focus on analytics and data warehouse connections is more important to you, you should look at them and others like them instead.

We're definitely not trying to be all things for all potential users of feature flags, but we're hoping that what we're offering matters to small teams of developers that care about embedding feature flagging into their development process

>> Apple learned the lesson about visible scrollbars the hard way when it introduced its ultra-minimal, disappearing scrollbar indicators.

>> There’s no visual indication that there’s more content present in this window—the only way to discover it is to scroll downwards. However, without an affordance to indicate the presence of additional offscreen content, the chances are low that someone will bother to check.

I appreciate the callout that Apple is an infringer on removing the scrollbars, which is a bad UI practice. For the entire lifespan of the web, overflow content indicators have been (aka scrollbars), for better or worse, an inherent function of the browser.

What some people fail to understand is that, like a local bar, a social network needs to be a pleasant place to hang out. If you fire the bouncers, women get groped and people yell, and the normies leave.
Lol, I'd actually prefer it to be in a life-sized (i.e. Mac Classic-sized) package, so it's more usable as an actual computer. I suppose as a piece of hacker-oriented performance art, having a teeny Mac with a teeny tiny screen is also fun, but think of what you could do with all that extra space inside the case!
Not passing judgement on the quality of Anchor Steam.

But the OP is absolutely right - there are now good to great breweries pretty much everywhere in the US. It’s hard to be a national beer company if you aren’t humongous.

People aren’t even looking at your stuff. The beer section at the gas station near my house is 50% local and 50% watery stuff. I have no idea if they carry Anchor Steam or not because I don’t look in that section and haven’t for years.

Note that some breweries, like Lagunitas, have effectively become local in multiple places by opening breweries in other states far away.

Due to large numbers of immigration, Sweden has younger population than comparable nearby countries. Too many excess death analyses just take the average of 5 previous years (2015-2019) as the baseline, to compare yearly or weekly deaths to. But in countries with ageing population, number of yearly deaths have been on a slowly increasing linear trend already for a long time. If you ignore the trend, and only compare to the 2015-2019 average, all countries with ageing population would show continuously increasing excess deaths.

Also, Sweden has a peculiar bookkeeping system, and a surprisingly large number of deaths are recorded without precisely known date. If you only look at weekly death statistics, you will miss the "week 99" deaths from the yearly total.
It seems like a massive regulatory failure to let Coinbase IPO if there are the sort of glaring issues they claim. Coinbase has a market cap of around $10 billion, and is owned by retail investors as part of standard index funds. If it goes to zero tomorrow because of the SEC, that is billions of dollars in losses that could have been avoided by more responsible regulatory behavior. Meanwhile insiders will have cashed in through salary, stock sales, etc.
