Bit of an odd way to put it, like saying there are X amount of HSBC dollars because they offer X different financial products.

In this case PayPal's core product seems to be the same as always, they've also added a stablecoin product which you can make a conscious decision to buy. Similarly you can move your money into their savings account which offers additional guarantees.

Presumably in both cases they'd prefer funds are kept as a 'standard' PayPal balance that they can invest to make more profit but if you're going to move your funds out of PayPal why not offer these other options.

The author seems surprised that different financial products offer different levels of protection but different levels of risk Vs reward are what the whole financial world is about. So long as consumers are made aware that's fine.

I like the decision, right move judging from what I read about cognitive development in childhood.

On a side note, as a highly gifted person, I found it somewhat amusing and tragic how people tend to cast blame on a school system in general and not on individual cognitive difference in their respective children.

Talking to parents, 90% believe their kids are above average in intelligence. Well, I have serious doubts. ;)
Nick Mason has a pretty significant collection of cars. Back in the day he used to take his kids to school in his Ferrari 250 GTO. These days the car is so valuable I got the impression he has to call his insurance company to get permission to take it out on the road. Years ago he published a book called "Into the red" with some of his cars. The book had a companion CD of the engine noise made by a selection of the cars. They took each car to the track to record it.

Perhaps the most intense car he owns must be the BRM V16 which, to quote someone who saw it race back in the day "would make your ears bleed". https://youtu.be/fZMPDCNyQxE?si=e97ihEFRW7DU_UcC

I doubt MacOS, but... the USB-C port on the new ones does support DisplayPort over USB-C, so you should be able to plug it into a dock with all of those.

12 Mar 2023 — The Bank of England (the BoE) will apply to put the UK arm of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB UK) into Bank Insolvency, which is a modified version of liquidation under Part 2 of the Banking Act 2009, on Sunday 12 March 2023 unless a buyer can be found for SVB UK’s business and assets.

When Parent Co goes bust Child Co credit lines go to zero. Even in the UK where ringfencing and regulation makes it very difficult to have more liabilities than assets (as happened with parent co), banks still have to borrow overnight / short term to fund longer term lending. If you cant borrow from the market you are in trouble.

> PayPal will happily seize both on a whim and without recourse.

It is likely that they will way less likely freeze the funds that are stored on the blockchain, as everyone will see it happening real time and the general public can also see how much there are frozen coins at any given time from the total circulation.

Paypal has only little problems freezing their regular USD accounts. Yes, people will complain online, but so what? Regular Joe still will assume that it is just some isolated cases and won't be happening to me. No one outside paypal knows how much freezing is happening, and likely inside paypal as well it is not well known information. Meanwhile, the more they freeze the more they have funds for their own bottom line, so incentives are not very well aligned.

I have a gut feeling that this might be "blockchain fixes it" moment.

> Do not ever leave money you care about in Paypal.

Yes, I agree. However paypal is big incumbetent player on the payment market and these products will likely be popular, so it makes a lot of sense to analyze them in detail.
... only if they're no longer considered necessary for the purpose of judging your creditworthiness. So in practice you're unlikely to get anything expunged ahead of schedule, filing a complaint only makes sense if the credit reporting agency kept your data for longer than they said they would (in Germany, this is 3 years at most).

Thanks for sharing those definitions. I think you've nailed it in your last paragraph, especially:

> A single punishment without rehabilitation is already generational.

Many states and localities in the US is indeed a stark example of what sort of consequences a retributive system of justice has on society (for example, California 3-strikes, extraordinary sentences for minor crimes in the many states, etc). The damage it's had has been inordinate.

Most crime, indeed, doesn't have evil at the center of it. For example, drug and intellectual property law violations should really be civil offenses.

Power corrupts. If a government is broken, it's the people's responsibility to replace that government with one that works. Whatever that takes.

Since this can be costly, the sane approach is to nip a governments' broken-ness in the bud ("voice" in the article's parlance) before things get bad enough that you can't do so any more.

Democratic countries tend to not attack other nations. The US is an odd one in this respect, which imho reflects the state of US' democracy. Sadly the US people aren't fixing it.

You can withdraw Paypal USD and self custody it onchain, and use it with the same flexibility as any ERC20 token.

But this token does have code to freeze your balance of itself, an action controllable by the token contract administrators, which is Paypal.

this is seen in other similarly structured stablecoins.

but the fungibility of being an erc20 token means offloading it is very easy too, there would therefore be no limitations on transfer amounts, no delay in having liquidity based on the time of day or day of the week. No need to rely on Paypal’s interest in redeeming the token for cash again, as you could just swap them onchain for something else more liquid or more speculative the instant you wanted.

Many of my formative years were spent browsing the brand new App Store for hours and hours, trying out cool new apps. It was just so exciting then, cool new stuff was coming out all the time, and I have a lot of fond memories from that time. I'm aware that there are archives of some portion of unencrypted .IPA packages from back then, but what about young people today? Will they be able to relive their digital youth in 10-15 years time? Seems clear to me that everything available now will be locked up, and the keys archived on some server in Cupertino, never to be released to the world for legal reasons. And setting aside malicious encryption, there are also all the the apps and digital experiences that depend on servers with a finite lifetime, and these are also becoming more and more common.
Am I of the last generation that can relive that portion of my digital life in an emulator? It seems like we've already lost so much, and it's only getting worse.

>If I contemplate some criminal act, various unpleasant potential consequences may occur to me, and I may decide against that act "for fear" that those consequences should come to pass.

Isn't the scenario here that if I have a member of my family that commits a particular crime then I have to fear the consequence?

Thus I should fear having children, stupid siblings, or parents who go off the deep end (probably children, but theoretically could have other familial relationships be in the graph of punishment)
How can I tell what iPhone I have? Mine just says "SE" and ios 16.x.

It does seem reasonable as an incentive for successful studios to switch to pro. However the issue is not purely with the price only.

The issue is the fact that the wording is unclear. Also a price per install seems like a bad target overall. How is it reported? Now they are saying that there are exceptions like gamepass installs. It is going to be a mess.

Also the change is retroactive. Imagine a vendor announcing that starting January 2024 you will have to give them a piece of your cake. Even if the piece is small, you are still going to contact your layers, and you will loose trust with this particular vendor.

They're not 'now' allowed to do this, they've always been allowed to in the US. Others such as Singapore and the EU (with MiCA) have by now introduced regulation specifically for stablecoins but US lawmakers have so far failed to do so.

>printing your own money

They're not printing money though. They do the same they've done prior, only now with more transparency. Most HN users have probably interacted with Paypal at some point in their lives, but how many understand what sort of "dollars" they sent or received? Because it's certainly not legal tender. Neither are the digital dollars in your bank account. They're private book money. In the case of banks we outright know most of it isn't even backed by real dollars, thanks to fractional reserve banking. This is a very real concern when you have more money in the bank than the insured amount. And as for Paypal who knows what they're backed by. Holding virtual funds backed by 100% US treasuries is a lot safer than backed by 'trust me bro'.

That's apples to oranges, as this quantization is different than Q2_K, but I just hope the quality hit in practice isn't so bad.

Play stupid games, win stupid prices; companies are not your friend and you need to invest at least the minimal amount of time in protecting yourself. The only things that are guaranteed to work in the future are:

- Software that is open source that you can keep around, tweak and modify forever

- If the above isn't possible, then software that does not require internet connectivity or updating and can be run in perpetuity in an offline sandbox

- Hardware that is not internet connected and will run so long as the hardware is still able

- Bonus points for the above if there are openly available schematics

Hey Sean, really cool you’re here :)
I'm not so sure about that. You are totally right that e.g. here in the EU contracts and terms of service with ordinary consumers ("B2C") are restricted as you say, limiting what can possibly be agreed on in that contract. Generally this consumer protection only applies to individuals for their private use. E.g. later changes to the terms of a contract are a big no-no.

Contracts between businesses ("B2B") are far less restricted, there is no such thing as consumer protection for businesses. Whereas for consumers, terms of service are heavily restricted by a special law ("AGBG", basically translates as "terms-of-service-law") It is generally thought that business people are savvy enough to know what they can and cannot agree on. Therefore legislation and courts lean strongly towards providing greater freedom of business and contract in anything B2B.

And I think in most circumstances, a game developer who distributes its game to a wider audience is a business in the scope of the aforementioned discussion. It would only maybe not be a business if there were no monetary benefit of any kind, so no selling games, no advertisements, no publicity that could lead to monetary benefit in the future...
> We write our admins in Vue anyway

And with Django you often don't need to write anything.

You're right to some extent with all of your points (jinja2 is available, not default, ORM is equivalent to SQLA most but not all of the time), but they're one side of the trade-off. The other is that you're writing admin views that you likely wouldn't need to with Django.

It's not perfect for everything, but it is much faster to write with than anything else for reasons like this.

You must live in quite an interesting world then.

The fact that people are running to a megacorp's aid because a bad EU forced them to quit being anti-consumer is staggering.

So staggering in fact, that these commentators might not even comment in good faith and in fact be PR pawns.

I'd really want to believe the latter because someone that gets so intimate with their phone brings out a sadness in me.
I was very much in the pro-vaccine/booster camp. Annoyed at people who were spreading disinfo about it. Didn't think twice about getting my second pfizer dose. I read a variety of studies on MRNA delivery mechanisms and their safety to reassure one of my parents.

The morning after, I woke up to scary sharp chest pains that reverberated for a minute or so. This happened about 3-5 more times over the following days. It definitely wasn't psychosomatic as A. I wasn't worried in the first place and B. They hit while I was sleeping. I don't get chest pains normally and am in solid health with regular jogging. When I caught covid ~12 mo. later, it was a really bad flu, but it didn't cause any chest pains.

Based on everything I've read, I ought to get one. But after the chest pain, I just can't do it. I'm afraid of it. It's a dilemma because my social set & family are very pro-vaccine and includes a few doctors & scientists. I don't know what I'll say to them. Obviously I can't really talk to other people online about similar experiences.

I agree, but if I understood correctly your previous reasoning, the passengers of the robotic vehicle put themselves 'in the game', not only more than roadside bystanders, but also more than others in vehicles that are driven respecting the rules.

I used to drive to work every day, very busy highway, and faced an annoying dilemma. If I kept a safe distance, the driver immediately behind me would pass me inserting himself in the gap, forcing me to brake and leaving more distance, inviting a new vehicle to pass me. Or I could tailgate and risk being part of the next multiple colision accident. After seen a couple of those, no thanks.

This is the kind of human idiocy that robots were suppossed to avoid. But if they're going to mimic it, what's the point? We will be competing with them and sooner than later, we will see how big companies behind them will outmanouver us, also in courts. So not as optimistic as you about regulation.

>which is precisely why apple is selling the concept of the curved front display ...

This feature of the headset is so others can pop-in, or gauge when the user is unavailable (i.e. when the wearer's eyes are entirely occluded.) Which is how those features were largely demonstrated by Apple(sans one setting where everyone in a meeting was wearing one). While this makes accomodations for a person wearing a headset it doesn't "unwear" it and doesn't solve the issues around wearing a headset in public/social situations. There was significant umbrage taken to Google Glass (and still to Spectacles by Snap) and these both are relatively minor adornments in comparison. Even those wearing ordinary motorcycle helmets run into similar. It's not an old-fashioned thing, it's a human connection issue, some people don't even like speaking through protective glass shielding.

At this stage we are quite far down the rabbit hole from the original conjecture. There indeed seems to be a small number of respondents that feel singularly wearing a headset in public won't be irksome for others, or be too disconnected from reality - time will tell how this pans out. I feel there is already sufficient evidence, but a few aren't convinced.

Thus the feature from Apple to allow the recording of spatial video directly from an iPhone, without needing to adorn the AVP seems to be the pragmatic and realistic use case scenario.
I prefer your kind of bullet-biting consequentialism to the kind which tries to approximate the intuitively correct (imo) verdict by watering down the concept of consequence (e.g. by going for some version of rule-utilitarianism).

But I disagree with the second point. Consequentialism is a philosophical claim to the effect that an act is morally wrong if and only if such-and-such conditions obtain. If it's possible to imagine a situation, however recherche, involving a morally wrong act but in which "such-and-such conditions" do not obtain, that automatically refutes consequentialism and it either has to be revised or given up altogether.
