The OPs point was this the "pump" part (ie get people talking about Bitcoin again). If their theory is true (and I'm not saying I believe it is), then the dump part wouldn't be transferring to another wallet, it would be selling their remaining Bitcoin.

If this is a pump and dump scheme (and that's a big "if") then they would need an order of magnitude more than 27BTC (ie the amount they sent to this wallet) for this to work.
I admire your work ethic and perseverance.
One thing I personally learned from trying to build a startup this way, is that the problems you’re building a solution for become very narrow as your main source of inspiration becomes startup culture and digital SaaS products.

I made the decision to first get real work experience in a relevant industry, learn the problems there and only then start building a product.
This opens up the door to building software for industries like the AEC industry, defense or healthcare, where you could have far greater impact, instead of getting stuck on building todo apps, online communities or platforms.

Yeah, definitely debatable. IME the difference between a single STB-style header and a single .h/.c pair isn't really all that relevant in practice (not enough to waste much time discussing the pros and cons at least - especially the build time consequences are usually overblown, I benchmarked my own header libraries and it comes down to a couple of seconds at most for including the header in thousands of C source files - with the implementation skipped of course).

The actual problem are libraries with hundreds or thousands of source files in dozens of directories and a CMakeLists.txt file from hell.

A good C/C++ library should be easy to drop into a project, trivial to integrate with any build system (or no build system at all), and no need for a package manager. If configuration is necessary it should happen with a small number of defines.

...one arguable advantage of STB-style headers is that you can include all header-library implementations of a project in a single source file, which might actually speed up overall build time because this benefits from the same advantages as unity/jumbo builds (especially in case of C++ code when stdlib headers need to be included). But for C code - where the stdlib headers are just a couple of hundred lines of simple declarations instead of tens-of-thousands of lines of gnarly template code - the difference is also negligible.

PS: another advantage of STB-style headers is that you can build even non-trivial projects into a single source file and compile that with `cc main.c -o mytool`, e.g. no need for a build system at all (of course the same is possible by including .c files into the main.c file, even if that might look a bit icky).
You can't run libwebsockets on STM8.

You can _only_ use it anywhere you can use Linux, BSD, or FreeRTOS, which also means you can use C++ and Rust.

These jokes are definitely inflammatory. It is a brand of humour that identifies things other people think are important then points out that they are ridiculous. His colleagues could be quite upset. I would expect being fired from most tech companies for making the observations in the "Kind of Racist" routine; although I have the wrong skin colour for it so the ice is presumably thinner for me than for him. There is some real girl from HR that was doing that in his company who is probably quite committed to the work.

Plenty do, https://www.eff.org/pages/other-ways-give-and-donor-support

All charities do if you open a Fidelity Charitable account and fund it with Bitcoin. :)

In the US it is tax adventitious to donate appreciated assets, including Bitcoin. (or even especially bitcoin as few other assets have appreciated as much)

It's often not highly promoted-- usually posed on an 'other ways to give' catch-all as it appears to have a slightly negative effect on conversion rates (I've heard there is some evidence that accepting bitcoin sends prospective donors off on a rabbit hole of learning about Bitcoin).
Depending on what counts as “reasonable” (the bar seems rather high for you, as I’ve seen plenty of laymen-friendly explanations reasonable to me, e.g. the sibling comment), you may need to have at least been to a PhD program in high energy physics to understand the explanation.

> After all, Gow8876 was very specific about what he was referring to ("memory safety" bugs), because you were very specific about what you were referring to ("unsafe language").

I pointed out this defect because handling HTTP headers "correctly" is such a basic requirement for a websocket library, yet it failed at it, so the claim for "13 years proven battlefield use" is baseless and only based on the fallacy of "it is old therefore battle-tested".

No one is making this absurd claim, but what we know is that majority of RCE bugs are memory related.

Centrally planned economies don't suffer too badly in Strategic Industries, especially not when trying to catch up to the free countries, as long as there's at least some level of capitalism involved. The goals are very clear and they can steal tech quite easily, so the lack of incentives to take risks and innovate don't matter. The USSR went from agricultural backwater to nuclear power with its own space station quite fast, largely by stealing tech using ideological true believers.

But of course things started to fall apart from there. As the true nature of the USSR became clear to westerners, ideologically motivated spies started to dry up and the KGB was forced to pay large bribes to get information. They focused on military info, and so their economy started to fall behind in other areas. By the end of the 1980s the gap in quality of life became so huge that Yeltsin famously put his head in his hands and cried after visiting an American supermarket.

China is somewhat centrally planned but more capitalist than the USSR was, and doesn't suffer so badly from the underproduction of consumer goods. Some people claim China is really just a capitalist dictatorship that cosplays as communist by this point, which isn't quite right; it's somewhere in the middle.

But the idea that they won't be able to catch up in advanced tech is just wrong. There are tons of patriotic Chinese people with access to high tech firms in the USA and these days you don't even need them, it's sufficient to just hack networks and steal documents in bulk. Sooner or later they will be the only country in the world that's technologically fully self sufficient. It will just have involved making enemies of everyone else.

There are two areas where they could really start to suffer after that:

1. Erratic decision making from the top that screw things up. Already a big problem for them.

2. If the west is able to properly tighten up corporate opsec and the flow of stealable ideas dries up.

Of course, China has lots of smart people who could come up with great ideas and firms if allowed, the prevalence of hard working Chinese in western companies shows that. But that involves taking risks in the expectation of reward. Look at what happened to Jack Ma. China doesn't reward success, it punishes it. The Great Firewall also makes everything way harder for them.

I question your methodology, but let's take it at face value.

>In fact, if you look at the accompanying map[2], you will immediately notice a strong inverse correlation between diversity and living standard. Assuming the underlying analysis of diversity level is accurate, this map itself is a condemnation of the entire ideology surrounding diversity.

As a matter of fact, this correlation is much weaker than you portray it to be, and the number of outliers in this hypothesis call it deeply into question. Let's assume GDP (factoring in purchasing power parity) per capita as a proxy for standard of living. Consult this map and compare it to yours:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_countries_by_GDP_(...

You see many counter-examples to your thesis. Africa tends to have poor correlation between ethnic diversity and standard of living. Look also at East Asia: the more diverse Indonesia and Papua New Guinea are doing better economically than their homogeneous northern neighbor in the Philippines, in this region too is diversity poorly correlated with economic status. Also true of Europe -- just look around the map and you'll find counterexamples everywhere. Look at Switzerland -- it's at once one of the wealthiest and most diverse European countries according to your map.

Your example of Japan as an ethnostate is also an interesting case study. I agree that it resembles an ethnostate. However, it's also going through a demographic crisis which is in large part attributable to its status as an ethnostate: an increasingly wealthy and aging ethnically Japanese population is an impending disaster in the face of Japan's historical (and contemporary) strict policies on immigration and integration.

Speaking of demographic crisis, compare your map to this one:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b7/2017_wor...

I see some correlations there.
What's even funnier is that for STM8 one can choose between four compilers, all offering first class citizen support for the platform. Also, it's pretty convenient that two of them, namely IAR and SDCC, support the current language standards.
I'd think these criminals must have a way to "properly" do money laundering without getting caught too easily, e.g. sending to an account they control that can't really be tracked down to a person, cashing out in a country with near zero regulation of cryptocurrency, then somehow getting real money out of it. It would be surprising if this isn't already an entire business out there.
We have hit peak Nvidia, which is unfortunately going to be a prominent casualty of the US tech war on China. Loss of the China market - by far the largest single market for Nvidia - can only be accelerated with the latest, seemingly impromptu, restrictions on chip exports - Raimondo very clear that she was prepared to play whack-a-mole on whatever denuded products Nvidia would create to get under the restrictions.

Export restrictions are like inadvertent protectionism for the people you are hoping to damage. The emergence of Chinese competitors is guaranteed, who will go on top secure the domestic market, then out scale Nvidia to address the emergent market economies.
re: who profits from this, got me thinking - even though $1m is a drop in the bucket of the market cap, could burning that amount of funds have any meaningful effect on the price? since the time of this transaction, prices have gone up 1.5% which is not huuuugely significant and causation != correlation

I think the hacked whale account makes most sense to me tho
I think even the richest people on earth will take the time to double-check a million-dollar transaction.

I've not been following Bitcoin news for a few years now but I seem to recall there were lots of reports about BTC "whales" making up a significant proportion of the overall wealth on BTC. And how they used their position to manipulate the market to some extent. A quick Google seems to back my assumptions too, eg https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/052014/why-b...

Now I'm not saying that the OPs theory about this being a pump and dump is likely correct. But I don't think it is any more speculative than the other ideas offered here (jilted ex / copy&paste error / testing code that mistakenly shipped / etc)
Most consumer SATA drives actually report their activity on pin 11 of power connector, which can be easily hooked to individual LEDs (as seen on drive bays in server racks). SATA standard even has schematic diagrams for proper making of those blinkenlights. Unfortunately, most (probably all) factory-made wired connector plugs are made with a single piece of metal forming pins 10, 11 and 12 cramped onto the ground wire, and soldering or other contact isolation work is required. Soldering male and female connectors with full number of pins together to add a breakout is probably the easiest way.
In my experience, if you add a demo feature to the app then they allow it. The demo allows the reviewer to get passed the login screen and explore what the application is. I think this is a good approach. It also lets curious users see what the app is like too.
Hopefully every well-managed one.

Regardless what your views on Bitcoin are, accepting donations of appreciated assets just makes a lot of sense from a tax optimization perspective: The donor gets a write-off of the current market value, while the (nonprofit) charity can sell the appreciated assets without incurring capital gains or income tax.

At least that’s the case for stock donations in the US.
Unfortunately, a lot of this is hot garbage.

① Its display dimension and screen diagonal figures are just a figment, due to a fundamental error in understanding of CSS units. It works by measuring how many pixels a div that’s been given style `width:1em;height:1em` takes—trouble is, that has always given you and will always give you the answer 96, because CSS units don’t correspond to physical units. (Firefox tried doing that long ago with the mozmm unit, but it became apparent that there’s almost no legitimate use for it, and it can’t actually be known on most devices anyway, so browser makers gave up on the idea.) So in practice, it’s just assuming 96dpi times the device pixel ratio.

② If your device pixel ratio is anything but one (e.g. high-DPI, or if you zoom in or out and then reload the page), the display dimension and screen diagonal figures are even more wrong, because it divides screen dimensions (which are in CSS pixels) by DPI (which it has calculated in device pixels).

③ It makes an assumption about the device pixel ratio that simply isn’t valid: it may not actually correspond to the number of physical pixels. The example I’m most familiar with is how Firefox under Wayland doesn’t implement fractional scaling¹, but instead renders at the next integer up and downsamples. My laptop is 2560×1440 run at 1.5× scaling; it detects it as 3412×1920 at 2×. The browser simply doesn’t expose what you need to be certain about these sorts of things. And Chromium under XWayland is saying 1706×960 with device pixel ratio 1, because Chromium itself isn’t even aware of the proper size. (XWayland is running at 1× scaling and upsampling to 1.5×; I used to run the sway/wlroots/xwayland hidpi patches and run it at 3× and downsample to 1.5×, but stopped at some point because it was too much bother and there had been some change in the software.)

④ It assumes screen.colorDepth is telling the truth (which it may well not be; on my device it’s 32 when I believe it should be 24). (It also shows both colour depth and pixel depth, even though they’re the same thing, only both present for “compatibility reasons” per the spec.)

—⁂—

¹ There’s actually been an experimental implementation for almost three years <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1707209>, but when I tried it back then I decided regretfully (the text rendering was beautifully crisp!) that it was unusable for a couple of reasons. Gonna switch back to sway-git and try it out again now, and they should actually care about bug reports now since the fractional-scale-v1 Wayland protocol has happened, whereas last time it was deemed too early for bug reports.
Yes but random throws someone random under the bus (potentially) and doesn't carry the bragging rights GP suggests.
Nice experiment, even though we know that LLMs distill an internal world model representation of whatever they are trained on.

The experiment could be a little better by using a more descriptive form of notation than PGN. PGN notation's strength is the shorthand properties of it, because it is used by humans while playing the game. That is far from being a strength as LLM training data. ML algorithms, and LLMs are trained better by feeding them more descriptive and accurate data, and verbosity is not a problem at all. There is the FEN notation in which in every move the entire board is encoded.

One could easily imagine many different ways to describe a game, like encoding vertical and horizontal lines, listing what exact squares each piece is covering, what color squares, which of the pieces are able to move, and in each move generate one whole page of the board situation.

I call this spatial navigation, in which the LLM learns the ins and outs of it's training data and it is able to make more informed guesses. Chess is fun and all, but code generation has the potential to be a lot better than just writing functions. By feeding the LLM the AST representation of the code, the tree of workspace files, public items, module hierarchy alongside with the code, it could be a significant improvement.
More than one server. Sqlite should be thread safe and simple services can scale to thousands of parallal users. If you are OK with some downtime every 6 months when server goes down it will scale well. Deploy/ rollback will be an effort.
It doesn’t. The developer thought it did, but it actually just assumes 96dpi times the device pixel ratio (which is approximately the system scaling factor times the page zoom level).
Hopefully before, since otherwise you might end up paying a totally avoidable tax bill.
We suspect that some TVs and OSs capture screenshots then profile and monetize us, and that's annoying. Why would one intentionally stream at all times the screen content through the servers of an ad company?! "convenience"?!
I think it's fine to assume that "I wonder how we can get this group of people to interact more with this other group people" is the sort of problem that most reasonably thoughtful people have thought about at some point in their lives.

Regardless of whether you think diversity is desirable all the time in all circumstances, I think there are definitely times where certain kinds of diversity are lacking, and it's clearly a bad thing.
Looks like what you hope LibreOffice Base will be, when one first years of the existence of those kinds of tools.
