I'm not really concerned with what the criminal tells themself.

I am concerned about society at large sympathizing and excusing criminal behavior because the criminal was poor.
I like how simple the concept is. Excited to give it a try.
Define Whataboutism?

It is my father having a love child with the neighbour's wife while I get a ass whopping for sleeping with the maid.

All jokes aside; I believe the western world set a dangerous precedent with the war on terror and the chickens are coming home to roost. Am fearful of what is to come in the future.

Russia's war on Ukraine may end up emboldening nations to act as they please with regards to dissidents wherever they might be and this is a scary world that we moving into.
There's a sliding scale of accountability from "I did it", "My wife did it", "My fiance did it", "my significant other did it", "my neighbour did it" to "some person I don't know did it".

A fiance is still close enough that they are captured by lots of regulation, because collusion/cooperation between partners is so common.
No. Though I _would_ like to live in a world where there is true free market — i.e. not the way capitalism is practised in the U.S.A. When you don't regulate the market, you end up monopolies like Apple. Nobody is able to compete fairly, and we lose out.

I don't know how you came to "I guess developing an app on iOS for sale at a healthy profit margin just became a fundamental human right.".

Designing for the future and seeking new ways to be mindful of the climate is great, but this person has taken the concept several iterations too far. Once you start getting hesitant about using mealworms to consume plastic waste because it feels "very capitalistic", you're just shooting yourself in the foot.

> Hedström has proposed factory-like systems that would feed plastic waste to mealworms on an industrial scale, but he grapples with the ethical and practical problems in doing so. (It takes a colony of three to four thousand mealworms a week to digest a coffee cup.) “It’s very capitalistic or, like, it’s a very human way of thinking,” Hedström said. It doesn’t feel like symbiosis if one of you is being farmed.

This is a good example of ideology gone too far. Taken to the extremes, even good intentions start getting weirdly misaligned.
You're still not getting it.

Taking the course is not a negative signal.

Putting the course on your resume, as if that conveys useful information, is.
If you want a similar situation, look at Amtrak - it has stops in tiny towns that may see less than fifty disembarks/embarks a year, but it's nearly impossible for them to close the station or not stop there. Many times it'd be cheaper for Amtrak to hire a car to drive the people who use that station to the next station, but they're not allowed to reduce service because those small towns complain loudly.
This is not correct. If the tip came from an insider, it’s insider trading no matter who acts on it. See for example Martha Stewart who traded on an illegal tip from her stockbroker.
That's a very narrow view. Either don't make the plants independently owned, or pay the plants for keeping the capacity available, or pay them a huge markup for those 10 days. Two and a half good solutions!
What does out of the money mean?
I'm surprised they didn't already require this, but I think it's probably safe to say it was a likely and foreseeable outcome in any case. That, combined with a dearth of use cases that made sense (for my life) is what's kept me from using these products.

About the only reason I could think of to buy smart lightbulbs would be to suddenly turn all the lights in the house red, and yell "torpedoes in the water, brace for impact!" and that doesn't seem like a strong enough argument. I'd probably only do this 2-3 times a month anyway.
Great news for companies like ClickHouse, Trino, Elasticsearch, StarRocks, Imply, and etc. If Splunk can make it 28B, some of those companies should make it too, and most likely more by eating Splunk's market.

We've seen many companies, large and small, do stupid things. Does!'t make these things suitable for the intended purpose (or that they even work as described).

No. Typical HNers know more about reality than any typical crypto bro.
The screenshots demonstrate the trader purchased only $1,040 worth of options, not "$22,000" as claimed in the tweet. So the trader turned $1k into $475k.

See the first photo in the tweet, the top left chart (45-day volume on the SPLK 127 C 09/22/2023 options) shows a volume of about 260 options was bought. The second photo confirms a volume of 260 (see "volume" column, first row).

Options are for 100 shares. So 260 options times 100 shares times $0.04 equals $1,040. Meaning the insider trader turned $1,040 into $475,000.

(Edited my math - an option is $4 as it's for 100 shares - thanks pc86.)

Those jobs are going away anyway. There's less market for coal and automation means fewer miners are needed, so even in the absence of any push to transition to green energy almost all coal miners are going to lose their jobs.
>Isn't this effectively what we have with Chase, Amex, Capital One, and Citi? Each earns points that can be used directly or transferred to airlines and hotels.

Not really. Those companies aren't sellers of points, they horse trade the interchange fee. They're basically giving away a portion of their revenue just to stay competitive.

If I have the monopoly of buying miles from airlines at 1c/mile and then sell them to co-branded credit card companies for 1.3-1.5c, what I have is a fucking license to print money.
I’ve seen somewhat higher numbers but I’m still surprised it’s that low if only because many business travelers travel so much more. It’s the rare person who travels 50K miles per year for pleasure and that’s not a typical company employee for many positions but it’s by no means an outlier.

Business travel, especially sales, also involves a lot of last minute booking and changes and those are expensive on both many planes and long distance trains. But, yes, at most companies you can’t just book business but you can always plead better schedule and also avoid economy basic sort of torture.
I don't know why this surprises me but translating natural languages doesn't. I think it is the sustained accuracy.
> transact in real estate (buy a home with or without a mortgage)

FWIW: buying with owned funds is easy, selling is hard. Sellers don't really care about identity verification as long as the funds are good. OTOH, buyers/lenders/title insurance issuers do want the sellers' identities to be solid, because if they transacted with the wrong person, they are going to have a bad day. Lenders probably also want the buyer to be well identified, because it'll be a mess if not.

The case for those wondering.
I'm hoping nuclear power makes a comeback in the future. The new reactor opened in Georgia this year seems promising.
This take is not helpful imo
My concern is in the opposite direction of what everyone appears to be interpreting, despite what I thought was clear wording in my initial post.

It's not that govt/LE uses Matrix. It's that Matrix/Element actively seeks out partnership with govt/LE (to the extent of presenting on stage at a police conference), suggesting they are particularly interested in a relationship with authorities and personally sympathetic to these authorities, at the management/director level.

This is not a position I expect from an organization that is determined to build secure communications potentially used by activists, people living in oppressive/authoritarian regimes, etc... If I was a member of such a high-risk group, I don't think I would be putting my faith in this org to produce something I can actually consider truly secure.
I think it's because a lot of British people still live the dream of being a major superpower with strong and robust economy. In reality UK has decimated its manufacturing economy and relies almost entirely on being a service economy, skewed almost entirely towards London and other areas of the UK have been left to languish. People visiting places like Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds, Bristol and so on wonder how the hell is it possible that you're visiting what is ostensibly the 5th biggest economy in the world yet the infrastructure of nearly everything is crumbling, councils can't even afford to clean the streets, social programs are being shut left and right, police won't come unless there's an actual murder and so on and so on.

My point is - a lot of people would say "but Germany can have a working public transport and functional police force and not tax its citizens to death". Like...yes, they can, but they have a functional economy which can support most of the country not just Berlin. If UK had a working local economy then councils would get funding from local businesses operating where they are - but right now most of the industry is gone or barely functional.
Regulatory capture is a risk. The FAA allowed the max to be certified, and resisted grounding it after accidents. That is terrible, and there were congressional enquiries and legal settlements in the billions for Boeing - including several specifically for manipulating and misleading regulators. That all sounds like an argument for better regulatory oversight rather than no regulation.

Why? How will your computing be improved by it?
My cynical version is asking what Bloomberg is getting out of it. Is he heavily invested and 500M is just a good way to increase the electicity costs and generate better return?
Or he wants to run for president next year and getting his bonafides in order.
How do you model the efficacy of that?

Why not add additional mechanisms such as trade / tariff restrictions?
Doesn't matter. That is still inside information and you can't trade it. Otherwise you'll end up just like this guy [0] and all the others who thought they could get away with it. Doesn't matter who.

The amount of HNers attempting to defend illegal trades like this is mind-boggling. Those in Congress should also be investigated over their suspiciously timed trades and as long as they are working in Congress, they should not be doing such trading at all.

There are no excuses for it.

wtf is going on is that:

a) p2p matrix works pretty well as a proof of concept - you can try it from https://arewep2pyet.com; it’s not remotely vapourware.

b) funding has been spent on core Matrix dev and making Element kick ass (cf Element X)

c) an awful lot of very large Matrix + Element deployments (eg LuxChat in Luxembourg, Merkury 2.0 in the Polish MOD, many German local authorities) decide to run Matrix deployments without routing a single $ to support development at either the Matrix Foundation or Element, such are the joys of the Apache license.

As a result, we’ve had to pause some of the longer-term R&D. I very much hope that P2P will resume (especially if someone explicitly funds it) and the team is still at Element (but working on sliding sync and account portability). But right now we’re focusing exclusively on fixing the core problems in both Matrix and Element which others in this thread are complaining about. Hence Matrix 2.0, and Element X.
I love this hypothetical. It’s a kind of “triangulation” of insider info, and I have no idea what the prevailing legal theory is. But I’m willing to bet that there is a Matt Levine article that discusses a real world scenario that mirrors this…
NHEJ works in non-dividing cells, though HR requires it.

Many of these techniques (prime editing in particular) use exogenous enzymes to mediate some of the repair and can work in non-dividing cells.

They should expand this service to make the USPS some profit, and offer to banks, credit cards, real estate, city/state governments, etc. to combat the rising (maybe perceived, but certainly lots of real) problems with proving someone's real identity and fraud.

The virtual world has opened up new channels for fraud and it seems government is just way behind on this. Almost to the level that some institutional trust is starting to break down (not to be too exaggerated about it though). (see pandemic relief funds)

This reads like:

Cost of flying was dropping continuously in the past 50-60 years and it has less to do with competition but with advances in the industry. While many planes 60 years ago had 4 people in the cockpit (pilot, copilot, navigator and mechanic officer), now they reduced it to 2 (navigator no longer needed with inertial navigation and later on GPS, mechanic officer no longer needed as planes are more reliable and have more sensors and automation). Also the fuel consumption, the biggest cost today, decreased with every generation of engines, time and time again.

I don't think any of this is useful to compare like this.

Windows has had three major releases in 11 years. The Linux kernel does one every two months. Windows is an entire OS, with a userland and GUI. The Linux kernel is... a kernel.

The development and support cycles are naturally going to be very different for the two. And regardless, the mainline Linux kernel team is not beholden to anyone for any kind of support. Whatever they do is either voluntary, or done because someone has decided to pay some subset of developers for it to get done. Microsoft employs and pays the people who maintain their old Windows versions.

If no one is paying someone enough to maintain an old Linux kernel for six years, why would they choose to do it? It's mostly thankless, unrewarding work. And given that the pace of development for the Linux kernel is much much faster than that of Windows (or even just the Windows/NT kernel), the job is also much more challenging.
I still don't get it--not being obtuse, it isn't obvious to me. Is the claim that differences in policing are due to discretion in law enforcement and not because victimization rates are different in neighborhoods of different socio-economic statuses?

Discretion in enforcement is either lawful or not. If discretion is the key problem and lawmakers do not address it, then yes, the responsibility is on lawmakers and ultimately on voters.
I've been listening to "The glucose revolution" and I believe getting glucose monitors into the hands of the general public might prevent a lot of this.

Right now continuous glucose monitoring requires an expensive patch, lasts for a finite time and is available to few people.

The holy grail would be a non-invasive monitor such as a watch.

It seems avoiding glucose spikes might be the key to preventing much nafld, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, etc.

Distraction from the relevant point by bringing up cases where the accusee might be construed as having performed the same act as the accused. It's a distraction because it detracts from whether the accused did or didn't do the act. And the matter here is whether India did it; distractions away from this question are either implying that they did it ("so what if I did, you did too"), or an attempt to throw off and confuse the conversations about it.

Assuming that humanity actually has enough collective sense to stop burning fossil fuels and scrap the infrastructure, maintaining 99.999% grid uptime will be very challenging. There are theoretically possible ways for renewables to meet that challenge, but until that actually happens, I think nuclear can remain competitive.

On the other hand, if we continue to burn fossil fuels without paying for carbon emissions, then nuclear is economically doomed.

I only half agree. Of course the company needs to have processes in place. But having shared storage can serve a multitude of legit purposes, and I feel like some alarm should go off in a developer's mind when he thinks of just dumping secrets there. Or the next one who comes and use them.

Or you might not have shared storage, and then they'll just put the creds in a Google spreadsheet like I've seen very recently.
All that that strategy would mean is that the costs of security auditing would fall onto the business using the FOSS code. It will start looking very attractive to instead buy code from an established software vendor who will provide some level of liability guarantees and assistance in auditing rather than going it alone with FOSS and in-house or external auditing.
