You seem to be conflating “segregating customer funds” and “having enough assets to cover customer obligations.”

Both banks and money transmitters (including Kraken) need to maintain sufficient assets to cover customer obligations. The difference is that for money transmitters those assets have to be liquid, while for banks they do not have to be liquid (which is why SVB got into trouble).

On the other hand, neither banks nor money transmitters need to designate specific assets as being held on behalf of customers, specifically, separate and apart from their own capital or operating accounts. Designating specific accounts or balances as being held on behalf of customers is typically what is meant by “segregating customer funds”.

I think it's a specific kind of Ad Hominim.

It's not even a great Ad Hominim because folks like John Nash who did have mental illness were really gifted in other areas.

I was about to post a study that even showed that mental illness is linked with mental disorders, but looks like this recent study is pushing back on that idea.

There is only so much that can happen with legislation. GDPR has been wonderful, but as far as public opinion goes it has backfired somewhat. I have heard too many people complaining that it’s „pointless because they know everything anyways”. That it’s „Brussels just telling us how to live”.

It’s an extremely delicate task for the EU, easy to sabotage.
You missed the part about a tax in America. Just because America does something doesn't mean the rest of the world is going to follow. Introducing a tax on carbon emissions will only harm America, while other parts of the world continue to pollute. It's still results in no benefit. And that's very naïve to think that it's western consumerism, when there's plenty of consumerism in Asia and Europe. This American centric focus is so very naïve.
It is a big name company though. Not a lot of companies have access to a supply chain and logistics to design and ship products like they do worldwide.
You could look for a better ISP. The larger problem is that in the US it's completely normal for there to be no actual choice, or for your "choice" to be between two equally huge uninterested corporations who know they don't need to be better than each other to keep the same revenue.

Separating the last mile infrastructure from the ISP can make it possible to have natural monopoly for everybody's last miles, but widespread competition for ISPs. That might be really hard to pull off in the US but I think it'd be worth striving for.

No idea what you mean. The AI risk community has been worried about this risk for many years, I don't think it has anything to do with power structures. But I could be misunderstanding you.

I mean, do you really?

If you take the safety issue seriously, then the risk we're talking about is the end of humanity. I don't welcome that and don't think there's much to debate about if the end of humanity isn't a dealbreaker for you.

Whether or not that's a real risk is valid to debate of course.

The problem with AI has never been the technology that composes AI, the problem has always and will forever be the immature yet powerful humans that take advantage of less advantaged humans using whatever means they have, which today can include AI. The issue is not a technology issue, it's a human psychology and sociology issue, it's our immature humans in society that is the issue. Technologists cannot speak about that in any meaningful manner.
Also from the 2023 USGS periodical:

Lithium supply security has become a top priority for technology companies in Asia, Europe, and North America. Strategic alliances and joint ventures among technology companies and exploration companies continued to be established to ensure a reliable, diversified supply of lithium for battery suppliers and vehicle manufacturers. Brine-based lithium sources were in various stages of development or exploration in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, China, and the United States; mineral-based lithium sources were in various stages of development or exploration in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Congo (Kinshasa), Czechia, Ethiopia, Finland, Germany, Ghana, Kazakhstan, Mali, Namibia, Nigeria, Peru, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Thailand, the United States, and Zimbabwe; lithium-clay sources were in various stages of development or exploration in Mexico and the United States.
I share your perspective. It is the most productive environment I have seen in many years. Blazor WASM for internal company applications, PWA or Blazor Hybrid (basically Cordova/Electron Shell just with C#) is just awesome.

> It’s somewhat hard to outthink a missile headed for your server farm at 800 km/h.

I'd say it's a far easier situation for the right AI than for humans. It's actually very hard for humans to think when they know bullets and missiles are flying in their direction.

Imagine a war against an opponent that never blunders. Nobody is every drunk, or sleeping, or fails to pay attention. Nobody is arguing about what's the right thing to do now. Nobody's running around like a headless chicken while artillery is falling around them. Nobody forgets to make use of the abilities of the equipment.

A war against an opponent that's always performing as well as it can would be quite the tricky scenario.

Of course a rogue AI with an easy to attack center would be enormously vulnerable, but I think such a thing shouldn't be assumed, since the reason to build AIs is to fight better, and any flaws in control and communications would be quickly exploited. So an AI controlled army is almost certain to be distributed to a large extent.
If the DoS prevents the attacked service from “speaking” itself (by exhausting resources) then I would assert the DoS is analogous to assault and not protected speech.

Also, intent fits in here. The name itself gives a hint- denial of service as in taking something away from the victim.

What about the use of legal threats and NDAs by wealthy individuals and corporations to silence speech? Take what happened with the whistleblowers at theranos for example.

That's a electric car battery, optimized for mobility: fast charge & low self-discharge, maximum density allowed by the projected lifetime, custom form factor, heat and cold resistant, vibration resistant and mechanically sturdy etc.

When you think of an application like grid connected energy storage, most of those performance metrics are irrelevant, and the only thing that really matters is cell cost per total energy stored and delivered during its lifetime. We will likely see something over-engineered and simplified to maximize cycle count and minimize cost, leading to a much larger raw material consumption, at the expense of density - the cell is not going anywhere.

So the ability to use dirty cheap ingredients is a game changer for the grid storage market.

Even if RCS makes messaging with non-Apple devices more reliable, I‘d assume Apple would continue to use blue for Apple devices only, solely from a branding perspective. Despite all the things regulators are pushing them on, it seems reasonable that a brand can provide aesthetic-only markers for mutual users of the brand.
Based on my limited understanding it's not that simple. At least some laptops still use battery power during power spikes even when plugged in.

> repeatedly dropping down and recharging sounds like a bad idea.

I noticed this with my Dell Precision machine that it dropped to 99% and then re-charged to 100%. It was plugged-in 24/7. You can normally configure this in BIOS, but it was locked in my computer by my employer. Unsurprisingly, the battery swelled within a year.

OTOH, I'm not sure how much more damaging this is, given that even just keeping the battery at 100% for long periods of time is damaging.
Depending on jurisdiction and bylaws, the board may hold a pre-meeting, where informal consensus is reached, and potential for majority vote is gauged.

Since the bylaws state that the decision to fire the CEO may happen at any time (not required to be during a meeting), a plausible process for this would be to send a document to sign by e-mail (written consent), and have that formalize the board decision with a paper trail.

Of course, from an ethical, legal, collegial, and governance perspective that is an incredibly nasty thing to do. But if investigation shows signs of the CEO lacking candor, all transparency goes out of the window.

> But even then it's weird to not invite Greg.

After Sam was fired (with vote from Ilya "going along"), rest of the board did not need Ilya anymore for majority vote and removed Greg, demoting him to report to Mira. I suspect that board expected Greg to stay, since he was "invaluable" and that Mira would support their pick for next CEO, but things turned out differently.

Remember, Sam and Greg were blindsided, board had sufficient time to consult with legal counsel to make sure their moves were in the clear.
Because K8S gets you on front page of HN?

Well if you want to make small fast loading html pages with a minimal js library, and end up at a few hundred KB that you can understand, profile and optimize, then that is impossible with blazor. So it's a very real problem.

If you want 5mb blobs and do not care about what is going on inside, how to optimize or reduce the memory and bandwidth usage, then it's not a problem, works just as well as the websites you have seen, with 200 node dependencies.

I came to think of circuit breakers as a crude tool that has a very limited set of uses, much smaller than what it's used for. It might work as a last resort, but it should never be deployed as your first way to deal with failures.

If at all possible, APIs should communicate server health status back to their clients, and clients should have ways to deal with partial outages of supporting services and systems.

Also, that sequence diagram should have been a state diagram. Don't people teach proper UML in schools these days?
On that subject, have you seen aristocrats at work? That isn't even a line of defence, there is a 2-3 generation timer (optimistically) before we're looking at well educated halfwits. If they've got sentient robot commanders and there is any scope for them to go rogue, we don't have a human institution that'll stop that and certainly not something with a small group of - emphasis on the quote marks - "elites".

If we're talking existential risk, this is like Rome v. Carthage. Humans aren't going to come back once we're a bit behind. Although I don't think there is much to do and humans are so dodgy that it isn't even obvious that we should resist if the opportunity comes to replace us with something that can be consistently rational and intelligent.
Thanks! Like some of my other "big" projects, it's really modular, in the way it started very simple "let's see if I can draw lines", and then each extra "type" was just a bit extra over the existing core, and so now it has a lot of features!

> It's not hard to know when you do things where you live. Some places people drive on the left, some places they drive on the right, people in different places people speak different languages, people in different places get up and go to bed at different times. When you go to Xinjiang as an outsider sure the customary times are a bit unusual but they're far from the only unusual thing about going there.

Sure, it can work. It's just worse. It'll be harder to adapt to local time if you move there or go there to visit than just changing your clock to match local time. You'll need to convert constantly. What's the upside, though?

> Not necessarily - plenty of ways to be caught out if you make that kind of assumption about a place you're not familiar with (e.g. turning up at a business when it's siesta). When going somewhere unfamiliar you're already best off looking up when your hotel/restaurant/etc. opens, and it's easy to do these days.

Sure, you could still get things wrong, but you're suggesting going from a situation where it mostly works, to a situation where this never works.

>Timezones maybe made sense when physically going to a different place was more common than having a phone/video meeting with someone in a different place. But nowadays being able to agree on the same instant in time when you're in two different places is more important and we should standardise.

Depends what the culture is at Sunbird. Potentially it's very bottom-up and eng is making all the technical decisions and PM just steers the overall vision.
