Still kicking to this day, largely in thanks to him finally getting the issue looked at.

To be clear, they also gambled with normal FTX customer funds. People who were just buying cryptocurrency through ordinary means and not trying to do sophisticated trading. It was simple theft. You can say they thought they'd make the money back plus some, but I think a lot of Ponzi scheme heads think the exact same way.

Naturally I have a very good sense of people (like mirror neurons stuff). At the same time half the time i feel myself very awkward in communication, half the time - extremely well.

From that and some other observations during life I conclude that "emotional intelligence" is one of those journalist pseudo-science memes (like "10k hours of work" idea et.) made up to make some extra money.

On practical side - unless it is a serious issue causing extreme problems (like mental disorder) - you shouldn't bother about it.

I haven't been able to find a detailed explanation of how it works. Somehow it emits a magnetic pulse that simulates the card being swiped, without having to physically swipe the card. Best guess is that it uses some kind of magnetic induction to induce a current in the reader the same way that a swipe would.

I never had a Samsung phone so I can't comment on how it worked in practice or the reliability. Can't find any mention of having to hold your phone a particular way so presumably it's direction-independent, although apparently sometimes it might not be possible to hold your phone close enough for the reader to pick it up.

I'd hope some of these employees are looking at what is happening to Ukraine and reconsidering their positions. Without weapons of your own, you're beholden to unfriendly nations with their own weapons.

Certainly I get the sense that a lot of Ukrainians have reconsidered their own views. There's people I know who I doubt would have ever involved themselves in weapons development, who have gotten into it and related things.

What if they had $50 stored in a browser plugin and when a website asks for it, they could pay $1 with a simple click?
Sorry, didn’t mean to make it jargony.

The licensing API key part is fairly straightforward. A customer holds X amount of the token in their crypto wallet, and then the wallet address is used as an API key. Different service levels, etc, can be granted based on the amount of token held in the wallet. And API access, customer datasets, etc, can be associated with the wallet-as-an-API-key.

By provenance, I just mean that somebody who’s leveraging a dataset can see the exact history of where the data came from, when it was manipulated, etc. I believe the way it works is that each time data in a dataset is manipulated, a corresponding hash of the dataset is generated and stored on-chain. So if a you had a dataset representing the relationship between some proteins, and a study was published that provided additional data regarding one of those proteins and potential relationships, then the dataset might be updated to reflect the new information, and a hash of the dataset would be created to represent the updated dataset at that point in time. Like a git commit hash. Then they do some proprietary stuff that associates the dataset with the customer wallet address noted above, and that is stored on the blockchain in a transaction using their token.

Does that make sense?
I'm sorry, but what am going to do with my Class C shares of Google which have no voting rights? They also haven't paid dividends. My buying of them didn't give Google any money, either. My infinitesimal ownership in Google doesn't get anything other than it's a number in a database somewhere that hopefully goes up. There's underlying assets there, sure, but as we've seen with GME, TSLA, and now NVDA, it's all just vibes.

In this case though, FTX had their own token FTT that gave people that owned it voting rights in FTX and "staking rewards" aka dividends. It's not worth anything today due to the fraud that SBF perpetrated, but that sure smells a awful lot like a stock to me.

It would be more accurate to compare this to a mass crime. 25 feels light for perpetrating one of the biggest and notorious frauds in modern history. Did the judge go to the upper range of the punishment spectrum? There are judges out there who would have made an example out of this case.

All these cities are very different from NYC.

To be clear, I'm not saying preserve the status quo. I just don't think the changes the cities you listed made have any chance to work in NYC. Most notably, all of these cities existed way before NYC and we're built with limitations of medieval technology. All the changes you mention are just rollbacks to last working state.

NYC is a new city built with comparatively godlike tech applied without restraint. The NYC-style solution "I guess I'll just commute by helicopter, no problem putting another skyscraper right here" was incomprehensible to the rich people who built the European cities - they had to go a little further away if they wanted their quiet comfortable life.

Interesting. Reminds me of a sci-fi short i read years ago where AI's "went insane" when they had too much knowledge because they'd spent too much time looking through data and get a buffer overflow.

Is it? Did he even admit to criminal wrong doing? The article thinks otherwise:

> Bankman-Fried acknowledged his mistakes and said he was sorry for what happened to customers but "never a word of remorse for the commission of terrible crimes," Judge Kaplan said.

> "He knew it was wrong," he added.

If you read this article looking for new or surprising insight, you won't find it. It is not new information that Boeing started a rapid decline shortly after the McDonnell Douglas merger, and it will be unsurprising to you to hear that shortly afterwards, Boeing began abusing its most senior employees into leaving.

What this article offers is new detail into exactly how Boeing has gone about cannibalizing itself. The specific things done to specific employees, the specific quality incidents that were swept under the rug, the lengths to which they went to ensure all prior institutional knowledge regarding how to properly build a plane was systematically destroyed.

It's worth reading, perhaps unless you're going to be flying on a Boeing plane anytime soon.
Are you saying you are never influenced by consequences in choosing what to do?

I understand the magnitude of deterrence effects may be in question, or that the relative worth of different types of deterrence are open to debate. But I don't really understand how something that is nearly a universal human experience can be in question. Almost everyone has chosen not to do something because of the consequences of outside rules.

Indeed, we can easily try and see. If I fail to be visible during break duty (so that students think there are unlikely to be consequences), students will climb the volleyball net. :D

> I just happened to notice that modern broadcast TV transmitters have integrated GPS/GLONASS receivers.

For modulation schemes relying on accurate timing, it's very common to use GPS to keep an accurate clock.
I think it is important to separate the use of GPS as a distributed clock from using GPS as a navigation system. These are different concerns and there are many commercial systems that use GPS for one or the other exclusively.

The US military has never used GPS for navigation because it relies on state-of-the-art INS almost exclusively. GPS is for building accurate maps, not navigation. It wasn't expected to survive a serious war when it was designed. A challenge for the commercial market is that 1) INS is relatively expensive, whereas GPS is almost free these days, and 2) state-of-the-art INS is considered a cornerstone military tech and US R&D in this area is highly classified and controlled. This makes it a solved problem for the US military but not for anyone else. For many commercial navigation cases you can solve this with sufficiently advanced localization tech (basically, AI) but the tech isn't there yet.

Using GPS as a shared clock source could be solved in most cases by choosing a different clock to use. Before GPS was cheap and ubiquitous, other clock sources were a thing and frankly should be quite cheap now if there was a big enough market for them.
I kinda wish instead of RSX we got something closer to SwiftUI than to React/JSX

I feel like despite the name and all the good it did for JS and the web, React is not exactly how I would envision "reactive UI" code to look like in 2024 if we have the choice of designing a language (or DSL) from a blank state

Which is not to say SwiftUI is perfect, but whatever code I write with it feels much more neatly organized / compartmentalized than similar code using React

IMHO the only real advantage of using JSX for cross-platform GUIs is... to reuse existing libraries that were built for the web, which means something like RSX has very little "transferable value" other than letting the developer transfer their conceptual knowledge of JSX to RSX. I'd argue that's a worse tradeoff than having the developer learn some new paradigm that is (again IMHO) objectively superior to the React/JSX one

TL;DR "SwiftUI but cross-platform" is the project I wish existed but doesn't. I'm aware of @Tokamak/TokamakUI but that's still very much incomplete and activity seems to have waned
It can be true that parents can feel that way, yet it is also true that not all parents feel that way, especially among younger parents, else abusive or neglectful parents would not be a thing.

A crushed bit of paper could be a "missile."

The mass media put its thumb on the scale, lambasting phenomena by reforging certain words to create a culture of fear and taboo using such example words as "hacker", "terrorist", and "drone".

And while a Unabomber approach to language use is unlikely to influence anyone, it's important to know the history of multiple meaning of words because those are additional meanings because a single word means different things to different people based on situational factors. To suggest one meaning is more "right" than another is to champion some people's experiences and invalid others'.
