If this is really about a fine for counterfeiting a stamp, isn't £5 astonishingly low? In the US that's a serious federal felony with up to five years in prison.

>You are victim-blaming.

Yup, I absolutely am. People who spend their savings (let alone life savings) on investments will end up ruining their lives sooner or later because they are ignorantly misunderstanding what "saving" and "investing" are and what government bank notes and cryptocurrency are.

If you invest money that you do not want or cannot afford to lose, you need help from a proper, good accountant to set you straight.
And if you misclick? Or there's a power outage? Or crash? Guardrails are nice and since I usually want to save what I've entered I appreciate it being the default behavior. Or in other words, I asked.

To address another commenter's point about word overwriting: auto saves should only go into a temp/separate file so as to never supersede manual saves.
Predators also 'play the game of life' and humanity is downright vindictive about any who prey upon them. I personally suspect the real difference is how incredibly hard it is to target a disease. Hell, just identification of what a disease really is was spotty for millennia.

There is absolutely no reason for USDC to be on a blockchain other than to interact with DeFi. Once DeFi hype dies USDC will be outcompeted by a centralized solution. It's multisig controlled anyway so it's the same thing.

You're not the only one. I have become hesitant to use applications developed in certain languages and ecosystems (like Python) because they encourage the prolific use of unvetted code not under the control of the developer, although there is no real safe space anymore. It's a cultural shift that has affected almost everything.
Almost certainly not. The usual challenges here are:

1. The codec is computationally expensive (at least by embedded-device standards). Often this is handled by a dedicated ASIC.

2. The waveform needed for DMR (TDMA 4-FSK) or D-STAR (narrowband GMSK) isn't something this radio's hardware is built to generate.

The RF chip in the UV-K5 is a BK4819, which does have some limited F2D+F1W FSK data capability. Anecdotally it sounds like it's limited to 2-FSK though. You might be able to get APRS text messaging / AX.25 packet radio working.

I'm still waiting for somebody to build a truly hackable SDR-based HT that can be programmed with custom waveforms.
I don't really even get the conspiracy theory that he was murdered, if Boeing etc are all so knowing and powerful why didn't they kill him years ago, well before he could tell his tale?

> Today, there are people afraid that, if they engage in climate activism, they will be evicted from their homes, denied medical treatment, and left to starve to death.

Where are these people? If they are in the US, their fears are completely unfounded and frankly ridiculous. However, the lesson here is that those are things authoritarian governments will do. So why would climate change activists advocate for authoritarian solutions if they are already concerned about what authoritarians can do to the people they disagree with? It comes down to a desire for the power they are scared of

> Several governments are labelling people 'extremists' for blocking traffic with their (somehow) non-violent protests, and enforcing laws against them that were originally designed for terrorism.

So blocking traffic on major roads is pretty extreme and is quite possibly the dumbest way to motivate any public change for their cause (The second dumbest being throwing soup and defacing artwork.).
Your interpretation was immediately wrong, because the statement doesn't say anything about the prevalence of right-leaning people or left-leaning people.

Thanks for everything, Cliff. I discovered _The Cuckoo’s Egg_ as a child, and was taken in. I wrote a book report on it... and then I wrote a book report on it the next year... and the next year...

At some point, I stopped trying to drag my pre-teen schoolmates along with me, but I still have my original hardback and re-read it regularly.

Your book taught me many things - perhaps most importantly, that one can educate about complex topics in engaging and understandable ways. And now I’ve landed in a job that focused on security.

One of the things that I’ve been doing in this job is, well, trying to educate about complex topics in engaging and understandable ways. I’ve thought about your book in every blog post I’ve written lately.

>The district court found by a preponderance of the evidence that Ulbricht did commission the murders. The evidence that Ulbricht had commissioned murders was considered by the judge in sentencing Ulbricht to life and was a factor in the Second Circuit's decision to uphold the sentence.

In fact. I had a really shocking encounter at my house with some young men (maybe as young as 16, hard to tell) who were digging a ditch for my sewer line as subcontractors to my plumber. I was trying to communicate with them in Spanish but I was having a hard time so I pulled out google translate. I realized they couldn't read Spanish. I used the text to speech in the app but that was quite a sobering realization just how little education they had experienced.
Right... defamation is a good analog for this. Its under AIR21...

This case was him suing Boeing for money. The claim was that his whistleblowing was the reason he didn't get promoted and was forced to retire early. Thats whistleblowing past tense, the FAA already said the things he was whistleblowing on were in fact true, and Boeing was at fault.

He had lost this case once, but his lawyers felt that he could win this 2nd time around as there was a preponderance of evidence. The table stakes for this were in the 10's of millions at best, a trivial sum of money.

Most any deployment based setup will have a separation between the code that is executed on the developer's machine and the code that is run on a built application?

Yes, it is common for developers to have some unit/build testing setup available so that they can run the code locally, but even that should be done by a system that makes sure anything actually running during the test is declared as part of the project workspace.

More directly, it is common for many package managers to try and do a global install of some things. If not global for the computer, for the current user. Thankfully, this is changing a lot. (At least, I think it is?)
It says 34% of adults lacking literacy proficiency were born outside the US, but not how many born outside the US are lacking literacy proficiency, and neither how many born inside the US are.

It seems a bit misleading to state two similar facts (total rate vs rate of outside born) in such an incomparable way.

I am curious though. Have you ever seen an attack path from a personal device compromise to full Cloud account takeover (or something along those lines like an exfil job or cryptojacking).

I haven't?

Usually compromised personal devices at the startup level comes from a spray-and-pray watering hole campaign. Likely to be used as part of a botnet, where your device is 1 in a million. Nothing really targeted where the end goal is to compromise a seed / series A's crown jewels.

Once again, please share stories if I should be more worried.

> I think people should stop using PyPI altogether

Sorry if this is a naive question, but what would the alternative be?
No, that's not what I was saying. These network owners are working around TLS1.3 for compliance reasons: they're required to monitor traffic at the boundary.

So I'm saying they should not be required to monitor at the boundary (and discard the benefits of TLS1.3); it's dumb to require diminished security. They should be required to monitor; but it's their network, they get to decide how to do it. I guess that means you need compliance rules written by serious people, rather than box-tickers.

That would make verifying compliance harder; you can't just check that they have blackbox X at the boundary. I can see that the existing setup is cheap-and-cheerful.
I wouldn't have nearly as much of a problem with that, honestly, as long as it's not face/gait/etc. recognition.

The problem is that the tech industry has been so abusive about electronic data collection for so long that it's burned through even the smallest sliver of trust about such things.

Well, ok. That makes my point stronger, maybe you should be replying to parent comment? They said this:

I was reacting to that.
When company goes public its shares become tokens in the casino. Shreholders can sell their shares to people who want to gamble with them. And just one reason is sufficient for people to want to take a gamble and purchase them. It's enough that they believe that they'll be able to sell it for more later.

And they are not wrong. As long as the name on the token takes a prominent place in public consciousness people will flock to it and early investors will be able to sell it for more. If you want to see what's sufficient for people to invest in something look at shiba inu crypto token or WIF.

Who would create a company for 100k if it can sell it to gamblers for millions when it goes public? Plenty of people. There's whole industry of angel investors fuelled by thay dynamic.

> why would it not be protected by 1a?

One argument might be that it's not really a human's speech... but IMO that's a weak argument since the amendment is held to cover other forms of expression. Also it seems like a foot in the door towards "the mastermind of the unethical plan was a computer, therefore none of us are to blame for all the profit we made" excuses.

How about this for an analogy: Someone makes a machine that throws together scrabble tiles to make words, then chooses to take pictures of the results and sell them as art. The copyrightability may be suspect, but if a politician came in and demanded that certain words no longer be generated, that would still be a first amendment violation.

Yeah but saying "you ought to go outside / relax / rest / spend time with family" and then saying "not everyone can because shit sucks" is missing the point. Shit does suck, for a lot of people, in a lot of ways. Acknowledging that is good, but then saying the alternative for that is people to play on their phones? How about advocating for people to be able to make a wage or living and have time to hang out with friends?

Yes, in terms of federated queries, there are similarities, but Spice is designed to be much smaller, faster, and lightweight (single-binary, 140MB) so you can run it next to your application as a sidecar, or eventually even in the browser. Spice also gives you more options and flexibility for materialization, so you can choose where and how to store local materialized data.
Everyone reading this is closer to being a millionaire than Jeff Besos.
U.S. companies have a management problem. I specifically mean that the terminal career path for most professions is "management". Depending where you work, management can mean:

- giving orders

- delegating work (usually this is work the manager specifically doesn't want to do themselves)

- clearing blockers in front of your employees

That the third one is the rarest is a problem.

American corporate culture has devolved into: get promoted into management and coast.

There are obviously exceptions. But a lot of people will agree they've had their fair share of terrible managers. I dare say that's the norm.

Boeing is just the most current example of what happens when a company fetishizes management. That is, there comes a time when the leeches have sucked the body dry.

Ask HN: Looking For A cofounder (front end) to work on next gen PIM software
The most recent innovation in PIM software emerged in 2015. As a consultant, I've repeatedly observed the limitations of current PIM software and have garnered insights on what is required to develop the next-generation PIM SaaS that companies need today. I'm in search of someone passionate about PIM and equipped with strong front-end skills. We are at the early stages, and I have not secured funding yet. If you're ready to embark on this journey with me and work towards raising funds when we're prepared, please schedule a call. Additionally, if you're interested in funding this idea, I invite you to book a call as well.
I care infinitely more about the questions I asked than whatever the family had to say. Because questions about fingerprints and gunpowder residue are concerning the physical evidence that could prove suicide to a reasonable degree.

I don't really care about talking about circumstantial evidence when the physical is right there.

The reason why people aren't convinced by the “this wasn't even about his whistleblowing, he already disclosed everything, so Boeing has no motive“ argument is because it isn't just about stopping whistleblowers, it's about the chilling effect for other potential, current employees.

We can brush it all aside as crazy conspiracy theories, but I think that's actually very harmful to society. Conspiracy thinking is very damaging, our response shouldn't be “shut up and trust authority“ when somebody asks about forensic evidence.

How does that add any danger? You're pulling in code because you want to use it. If the package is malicious and your package manager doesn't have post-install scripts, the malicious code is just going to run 5 seconds later when you import it and start working with it.

In the case of NPM with post-install scripts disabled, you'll simply get pwned when you `npm start` rather than `npm install`.

Yes anyone with bitcoin can "exchange" bitcoin directly, but when most people say "exchange" they mean some sort of trusted third party that executes and coordinates trades on somebody's behalf. With most crypto currencies there are significant risk and trust issues when going directly unless you trust the other party. It can also be very difficult to find somebody who wants to buy or sell the amount of coin that you are looking to buy/sell, so there's considerable utility in the match making.
