Then why do politician's with the means to do so, buy property that increases their privacy and security? Applying pressure and voicing discontent is a great part of democracy and should be protected. It's tone deaf to pretend these things aren't related to privacy and security. Despite best intentions, protesters are already agitated [that's why they're protesting] and it doesn't take much to turn to a security issue and if they can't check their mail or mow their lawn without being heckled, that's a privacy issue.

I think we in America set ridiculous norms/boundaries on some things (things like this topic disrespecting the politician's personal life for something that is occurring in their professional/public life; also, feel that we care too much about their personal lives in general, sex/marriage/family stuff but that's another topic)

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao to plead guilty to federal charges, step down
How much money and power would a gutted OpenAI have to devote to a protracted legal battle against Microsoft’s army of lawyers? It feels like robbing a man with cancer and hoping that they die before the case gets to the court, which feels very on brand with how Microsoft used to play things in early windows days.
Yes, but if “AI” denies you, humans are suddenly no longer responsible.
> But you need to protect the freedom of jackasses to be jackasses.

You do, but their presence is also denying others their right to obtain services without being endangered. Some balance is needed here.
> Well, if OpenAI magically got erased from existence, probably.

I would not rule that out.

This does sound approachable. From my experience, people with lake front property and docks with boat "houses" are clear from any obstruction of direct sun. Line the roof of said boat "house" with solar, and in the typical weekender/vacationer use of a boat, seems pretty managable. However, when the sun is up to be charging is typically the time of the boat's use so it won't be on the charger. Use the solar to charge a powerwall type of solution, and then charge the boat at night?
Not shocked at all. In grad school, I was in a group with two fellow students for the semester. The end project was a paper that would be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. After a few meetings, we had to choose our roles in the creation of the paper. The writing contributions of my companions was clunky and unclear- surprising, considering these were smart people. Being a decent writer, I volunteered to be the editor, who made sure sentences were correct, ideas connected and the work supported the thesis. At some point it came out that both of them ran their work through Grammarly before submitting them. Later I found out from my faculty advisor that almost every student was doing the same, and the quality of writing in the program was suffering overall, creating a lot of extra work for the bewildered faculty. I knew without a doubt to never trust Grammarly for my own writing.

In order to justify such a specific claim against Kraken to be heard, isn't it necessary to first qualify that such assets are themselves securities?

Am I crazy to call this vexatious harassment?

If P then Q:

If {x,y,z} are securities,
[ then {Exchanges a, B, and C} have provided securities exchange services of assets {x,y,z} without the requisite license are thus owe a civil fine. ]

But how is a suit against Exchange A the appropriate forum to hear whether assets {x, y, or z} are securities?

Given that - presumably - assets {x,y,z} are not yet ruled to be securities, there was not sufficient cause or standing to make a claim of bad faith or intent to provide exchange services for unregistered securities.

Exchange A operated in good faith, pursued the requisite state and federal procedures for assessing whether or not such assets were securities, and specifically does not intend to sell securities.

Should there be an is_this_a_security() function of a US government regulatory agency, defendants would be required to request such review before listing said specific types of assets.

Gold isn't easy to steal because it's heavy, and the more you steal, the more it weighs. There's a big difference between stealing an ounce of gold and stealing five tons of gold. But there's no difference in "weight" between stealing 0.1 BTC and 10,000 BTC.

Also, securing physical assets is much easier than securing digital assets.
And you're glossing over the initial catalyzing event here. Austria Hungary just had their leader in waiting assassinated, with state backing from Serbia. Many wars, if not most, are started under false pretext, or with false evidence. Another state participating in the assassination of your heads of state is one of the most just, reasonable, and textbook causes for war imaginable. Austria Hungary invading Serbia was just, even moreso after giving a Serbia a diplomatic way out, even if the terms were indeed harsh. Russia moving to defend Serbia was just. Germany moving to defend Austria Hungary was just. Everything following the assassination was just and reasonable from near to everybody involved.

As for inflation, "shortly" after isn't doing any work there. Hyperinflation began in the Weimar Republic in 1921 [1]. The Nazi party had only been formally formed in 1920 and had exactly 0 power. The hyperinflation is one of the means they managed to recruit as many people as they did. It created a large base of premium recruits: young, drunk, unemployed, and angry. But to claim they created said economic circumstance is, let's say, you perhaps mixing up this moment in history with something else.

Had Austria Hungary won, then a parallel dimension you could well be here arguing that the consequences e.g. Russia (or France or whomever else) faced were perfectly just and reasonable. You might say that it's one's choice to come to the defense of an ally, and choosing to defend an ally under assault for assassinating another nation's leader speaks bounds of your own integrity, or lack thereof. When looking at history (and the present and future) I endeavor to try to take a position that I think I would hold, regardless of who won and who lost.

Technically no, but you need to be able to afford paying for lawyers to fight them or spend an enormous amount of time and energy.

For some reason health insurances and hospitals can get away with practices that no other business would get away with. They can commit fraud and when they get caught, all they have to do is to say "oops" and fix the mistake. No other consequences. It's pretty crazy

since they don't have a share feature like some other open/er AI's it's difficult to compare. My favorite one to share as I recall was when Anthropic first released their chat UI. I asked it whether they had an API to which it told me know. After I shared the documentation for it's API to it it went into a forever denial of everything I asked it. I wish I still had the full dialog it was very funny.

I have to admit I do find it pretty funny when the people who have touted blockchain and cryptocurrency as great because of its decentralization have discovered /why/ a central authority is incredibly important in finance. All of the crypto pumpers start crying for government support when they're the ones who get fleeced, when that's literally built into the technology as a feature.
... but you'll need to use Teams for collaboration.
> Isn't it the completely the opposite of that, though?

No, its more complicated, which is why they were initially actually open, then became closed as their assessment of the circumstances changed; their own inability to act as gatekeeper, which would go away with a split with Microsoft where Microsoft had unrestricted rights and was not in practice coordinating with them, could well sufficiently change the circumstances to change their stance, without any inconsistency in reasoning (not that reasoning itself can legitimately evolve, too.)

In simple terms, it plausible that they might see the broad preference as:

good gatekeeper of top of the line AI > open models > bad gatekeeper of top of the line AI

and also see Microsoft, after the current kerfuffle, as a bad gatekeeper.
Microsoft is not in a fight for its life, OpenAI definitely is at this point.

That alone translates into Microsoft doesn't need to commit fraud, all they need to do is sit back and watch the rest implode and come out winners. They don't even have to sue, all they need to do is do nothing and OpenAI is toast.

That press release from MS the other day is a bowshot, not a promise. 'Play ball or else' with the 'or else' bit conveniently left to the imagination of the recipient.

I'm all for reforms to move towards a more market based system. But one has to recognize that at this point we're nearing a century of anti-market meddling - a quick search says 1943 is when healthcare started getting bundled with employment!

And talking about a "free" market is a red herring. There's no reason to believe that the current industry actually wishes to converge on uniform prices with upfront transparency - they could just start publishing such prices at any time currently, but rather continue to benefit from heavy price discrimination. So getting to a functioning healthcare market would actually take a lot of regulation that actively undoes the cancerous behemoth that's been slowly grown. Try asking any doctor how much something might cost and most of the time they will scoff - the rejection of any market dynamics has become pervasive by the entire system.

Also to have an actual free market we'd need to eliminate things like mandatory pharmaceutical prescriptions and patents, which there is unfortunately very little support for doing.
Binance Founder Pleads Guilty to Violating Money Laundering Rules
I personally wouldn’t teach children mutable imperative programming. I think functional, data driven, declarative, “data first” programming would be a better introduction to the subject. We’ve essentially broken our own brains training ourselves to think the imperative/mutable style is normal
Yeah I’m leaning toward this possibility too. The things they have mentioned so far are the sorts of things that make you SO MAD when they actually happen to you, yet that sound so silly and trivial in the aftermath of trying to explain to everybody else why you lost your temper over it.

I’m guessing he infuriated them with combinations of “white“ lies, Little sins of omission, general two-facedness etc., and they built it up in their heads and with each other to the point it seemed like a much bigger deal than it objectively was. Now people are asking for receipts of categorical crimes or malfeasance and nothing they can say is good enough to justify how they overreacted.
X64 Assembly Language Step by Step by Jeff Duntemann
That is true, however Musk's suit is likely even more difficult to prove than that. It's not good enough that it be provably false (and the law puts a heavy emphasis on the word provably there).

For a public figure suing anyone over claims like this, he would need to prove "actual malice" which typically means that not only was it provably false, but that the entity making the claim KNEW it was false, and decided to say it anyway.

So Musk will likely have to prove that Media Matters article was a matter of fact (and not an opinion), prove that the fact they claimed was false, and prove that they knew it was false before publishing it.

That's a VERY high bar.
Medication doesn't fix them though. It makes it possible for them to /be/ fixed -- but a lifetime of ingrained habit from when it was much more challenging is still a mountain to overcome.

Definitely degraded. I recommend being more specific in your prompting. Also if you have threads with a ton of content, they will get slow as molasses. It sucks but giving them a fresh context each day is helpful. I create text expanders for common prompts / resetting context.

eg:
Write clean {your_language} code. Include {whatever_you_use} conventions to make the code readable. Do not reply until you have thought out how to implement all of this from a code-writing perspective. Do not include `/..../` or any filler commentary implying that further functionality needs to be written. Be decisive and create code that can run, instead of writing placeholders. Don't be afraid to write hundreds of lines of code. Include file names. Do not reply unless it's a full-fledged production ready code file.
Touché and a deeply important point.

There really is no “account manager” for the vast majority of play publishers, is there?
Well, BTC isn't some asset that doesn't have a track record of growth. Take a look at the rate of growth in last decade. Yes if you look in specific timeframes it will look like a wreck. but looking at a bigger picture it makes sense. And it is given that it will keep growing similarly in the long term (Why?, thats a separate lengthy conversation the answer to which also answers why some of largest finance players are rushing to put out an ETF of BTC)

Coming to the security and safety part. In theory, BTC was made with a intension to be easily usable and accessible. Once you understand it, its pretty simple and straightforward (even easier than using a bank's service). No level of hardware wallet failure will compromise the funds because the funds are not in the wallet rather the record of the funds are in 100s of thousands of BTC nodes that is being run by miners and other enthusiasts. The real threat may be letting people that share OTPs to scammer handle their private key and seed phrase. Thats where custodians like coinbase comes in.

And to the point of how to make sure the fund held by ETF/Custodian is actually there or not, This can be easily verified. Tt is a public ledger and anyone with the public key can see how much funds are held in the wallet. This aspect of transparency is one of the key selling point of BTC.

I would recommend a short and interesting read - "Inventing Bitcoin".
I can completely believe that whatever damage is being done to children by screens does not show up on an MRI scan. Having never even seen one in person, I have no assumptions about what that would look like, if the damage even manifested physically. What is plainly obvious and would take much more than a self-reported survey to disabuse me of, is the idea that excessive electronic usage screws up kids' brains, making them highly prone to anti-social behavior and likely some form of screentime addiction.
If I was a stakeholder in YT I would be worried about users and creators leaving the platform, because YT has become increasingly and more aggressively anti-consumer. I do not mind if the creators incorporate sponsor ads into their content, but what YT does to the user experience is just awful. Inserting multiple, low quality, loud, long unskippable ads into one video, who the heck would want to watch that?! It's clear to me that Google is pressing on to make users buy subscriptions. It's basically a dark pattern, closely resembling coersion.
If they weren't cheap about it they would just serve a video that has the ads built into it. Instead they try and play them separately because that is cheaper. It would also be a better user experience because there wouldn't be these sharp edges between playing the ad and the content that are separately buffered.
My question still remains. Even if the gene isn't altered, but the expression is, which I assume is the important part in determining outward influence the gene has, I wasn't aware anything short of radiation could alter that. If stress can change you at the gene level, or metal state in general, wouldn't we all be able to "fix ourselves" or otherwise change our gene expressions by submitting ourselves to various metal states to invoke the wanted gene response?

TL;DR, I wasn't aware anything regarding genes could change, that's all, and I'm more curious why I keep discovering so many large gaps in things I personally considered life long, common knowledge. My question was almost rhetorical for myself.
This is normal. Markets tend towards consolidation because of the beneficial effects of economies of scale. Absent outside intervention, monopoly is the natural end state of a market. Sometimes this intervention comes naturally (tech changes, consumer tastes change, companies randomly implode), but where it doesn't, it's the government's role to periodically reset the market to a competitive state. This is necessary to have efficient markets.
It all seems to go a bit quick. The Twitter saga took longer, but was equally dramatic. And seemingly surreal. Then there's Trump. Putin's war. I'm not sure anymore about anything being reality. Perhaps I'm stuck in some Philip K. Dick book.

Scale has always conferred substantial pricing advantages.

The difference nowadays is that more of a company's business is covered by SaaS, and so more is subject to these taxes.

If 15% of your business had wildly variable scale costs vs your competitor... okay. But if 50% does... as you say, hard to compete even with a better product.
Spotify's problem is it has to pay out ~80% of revenue to rightsholders, so Apple's 15% take doesn't leave you with a viable business. For a time, Spotify handled this by charging more for subscriptions from the App Store. I'm guessing Google wanted to get a big name off what would become the Epic suit. They knew Spotify pays ~2% when processing credit card fees, there's a higher conversion rate with in-app payments, but Spotify has a hard fee limit because of rightsholder payouts, so they found a deal that makes everyone happy. Oh, and GCP.

The marginal cost for Fortnite is lower, so Google kept squeezing. It's standard price discrimination. The problem for Google is it also controls the marketplace.
