Assuming the accuracy of that source on the numbers, its actually the 5th.

Yes, the United States is the sixth listed, but the 5th listed is part of the United States, not a separate country. (So are several others, but I don't think Guam or the US Virgin Islands are big enough that they move the US overall rating down far enough to matter.)

I think like all these white collar crime cases it's as much about emotion and appearance as actual damage. SBF wasn't a career criminal with multiple past grifts, and he didn't have any violent acts associated with the grift. So he got a lighter sentence. If he had been a part of a crime family, it would have been much longer. I'm not sure that the prosecutors are allowed to bring in tangential loss of life like multiple suicides (bankruptcy, financial destruction) that were no doubt triggered by SBF's efforts to defraud people.
F# is not mainstream lang - it’s more like Clojure for .NET. My point was - you don’t have that variety in .NET as in JVM (Scala, Kotlin, Groovy are all relatively mainstream)

I really don't understand the severity of criminal justice system punishment. SBF got sentenced to 25 years for a white collar financial crime while a guy in my hometown hit and killed 2 people, while DUI and ran over 100mph on a local street with 35mph limit got 26 months sentence forb2 vehicular homicide.

> I think you're confusing forgiveness with punishment. The two are not incompatible.

Not at all. You said "you should be fine with it," which is really "acceptance" rather than forgiveness, although they go hand in hand.

My point was simply that being fine with it or not being fine with it as an personal, emotional response typically does not guide modern societal rules.

> Retribution is part of justice, and is not at odds with it.

Inherently this is probably true, but we actually have laws that are intended to specifically exclude that as a factor, depending on jurisdiction.

Yes, we're looking at something like a Vercel/Expo model, probably built on Fly, Cloudflare, or AWS, but designed to be self hosted.

We've got a decent amount of enterprise adoption and I think there's money to be made by selling something like a self-hosted Vercel. TBD on licensing - I'd want it to be open source but we wouldn't want people reselling our deploy platform.

We raised a seed to prove that people want to build with dioxus. If that hypotheses is validated, then we invest in the deploy model. If not, we have OSS grants and corporate sponsors that will keep the project alive for years even if the VC money runs out.

I'm not super interested in making money at the hobbyist tier - those developers are our evangelists. Enterprise self hosting is likely harder but I think we can provide a lot of value to teams building apps in large companies.
I very much agree. "Number go up" by Faux is the better book in many respects, but Lewis's book contains much background info not reported elsewhere. Lewis's book is damning about SBF as you said. About how unapologetic and manipulative he is. About his willingness to gamble with other people's money. About his complete lack of ethical boundaries. About the casual way SBF ignored all laws he didn't like. About SBF's history of reckless gambling.

Yes, Lewis was (and probably still is) sympathetic to SBF. But that's also how he got him to talk! The book wouldn't have been possible had Lewis behaved as a skeptical investigative journalist. Lewis gave SBF all the rope he needed to hang himself with, and that was all he needed to do.

Show HN: Spice.ai – materialize, accelerate, and query SQL data from any source
Hi HN, We're Luke and Phillip, and we're building Spice.ai OSS - a lightweight, portable runtime, built in Rust and powered by Apache DataFusion to locally materialize, accelerate, and query data tables sourced from any database, data warehouse or data lake.

Phillip and I first introduced Spice on Show HN in September 2021. Since then, we’ve been schooled and humbled in every way building 100TB+ data and ML systems for the https://spice.ai cloud platform. Along with our customers, we struggled with getting fast, low-latency, high-concurrency SQL query within a budget, accessing and combining data from many sources, trade-offs between OLTP/OLAP compute engines, and managing datasets as code.

Today, we’re re-launching Spice, completely rebuilt from the ground up, to directly solve several of the problems we had in accessing data quickly and cost-effectively providing it to applications, dashboards, and machine learning. Spice provides federated SQL query across databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, etc.) and data lakes (S3, MinIO, Databricks, etc.) with the ability to materialize remote datasets locally using in-memory Arrow, DuckDB, SQLite, or PostgreSQL. Accelerated engines run in your infrastructure giving you flexibility and control over price and performance.

You can read the full announcement blog post at https://blog.spiceai.org/posts/2024/03/28/adding-spice-the-n....

We’d appreciate it if you check Spice out, give us feedback, and if you'd like to contribute, we'd love to build with you.

Thanks!

This is too restrictive. The article claims 3 facts are the proof that the genre is ill: (1) 12% of US readers read sci-fi in the last year, (2) current sci-fi best sellers are old books or not really sci-fi, and (3) in the 80s, SF novels were sometimes best sellers.

I agree with you that the first fact is a dubious proof. Unfortunately, the others aren't better.

The 2013 list of sf best-sellers (the oldest list in the wayback machine from the same source as the article) also contained old books. For instance "Dune" is a best-seller both in 2013 and 2023. And some books were heroic fantasy, not SF, e.g. "Sword Art Online".

For the last claim, I could only find 4 SF novels that match the article's claim, out of the 100 of the decade. 3 were related to movies, and 1 to a TV star (Carl Sagan). In the 2010s, there were one novel related to a movie and another SF book. Hardly conclusive.

A striking tendency in the recent years is that many of the best-sellers are children books. Young adult novels are also more present. I suspect that, since fewer people read novels, books are very often a gift, something one does not read but buys for others. And for children and teenagers, there's obviously the innuendo that reading books is good for their education.

They don't, as far as I know.

Bluetooth EDR ("classic Bluetooth") doesn't broadcast anything at all as far as I know, and only listens for connection requests (that need to know your MAC address to be able to ping you).

Bluetooth LE devices are a bit more noisy in terms of broadcasting but support privacy addresses for service announcements.
Indeed they do, including on this very website

I once read something that part of the point of government "management of crime" whatever you want to call it is to suppress vigilantism.

It may not be entirely descriptive, but it certainly is part of it. At some point Gary Plauché becomes common.
I've noticed the same trend. HN (as a collective) doesn't believe in punishing white-collar crimes with incarceration. I guess it hits too close to home.

> it's like saying Trump could pardon him on the way in

That is more likely than a Biden pardon: Trump in his first term was big on pardoning both financial criminals and people involved in political corruption on both sides of the aisle, and SBF is both a financial criminal and someone involved in political corruption (on both sides of the aisle, even), so he is something of an ideal Trump pardon candidate.

Well then I don't know what to think now. This seems to be a problem for artists in general. You spend your entire life coming up with an incredible work, and once its released to the world and everyone agrees that it's incredible, now there's all this pressure to followup. The second story arc comes off as just completely sophmorish in every possible sense of the word.

Inngest is very cool, and if you are interested in the topic but absolutely want to self-host, 2 other high-performance durable execution engines that enable all the above and that you can self-host and are open-source and mature would be temporal and windmill. Both can use postgresql as the queue (temporal can use cassandra too), the rest can be done leveraging the transactional properties of postgresql, such as atomic counters for the concurrency keys: https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill/blob/main/backend/... or re-queuing jobs that haven't progressed when they should have (most likely, worker crashed).

There are very cool things you can do today without too much complexity with the primitives that modern database are capable of. Should one rebuild it for their startups, no, but if you were to extract the very core of the durable execution engine of windmill for instance, it would actually be surprisingly reasonable given that postgresql does the heavy lifting. I strongly believe the benefits of our platforms mostly come from the overall virtue to be standardized, opinionated and working out-of-the-box in a way that make everything fit together rather than the overall engineering complexity of it.

Blobs are a temporary form of data storage that are only required to be held by Ethereum nodes for 18 days. Archival nodes are free to store it forever if they wish, with a 1/N trust mechanism to verify an archived blob. Blobs contrast with permanent data storage in calldata, which is very expensive (due to its permanence).

Layer 2's are currently significantly more centralized than Ethereum L1, but this is not a fundamental technological limitation, and can be improved significantly with more resources and time. L2s right now have fragmentation concerns, where users have poor experiences interacting with a ecosystem of 10+ L2s, but this is largely a UX concern that can be solved in my view, and shared sequencers can help this on a technical level. I wouldn't say Layer 2's have many intrinsic fundamental technological trade-offs.
The money he stole and defrauded is lifetimes worth. Lifetimes of economics stolen from people. Lifetimes of stresses caused on people because of what he stole. How many people may have ended their lives because they lost everything? How many silenced voices are there in pain because of his fraud?

White collar criminals can and should be likened to serial killers in the severity of their crimes. They spread invisible miseries indiscriminately, near entirely without justice or recognition. I am glad one of them is finally being properly punished.
Banality of evil. I'm sure SBF seems like a decent person who just wants to run a cool business and play with technology. He never thought he was a crook.
He'll serve for less than 15 years, which is a blink of an eye given the devastation he caused.
Oh, they brought the IPs already saturated. They are losing ground on almost all of it.

My dude, you should find a better hobby than just posting on HN crypto posts to spread some FUD. I appreciate skepticism, but you have an axe to grind.
> How much do you think an extra 5 years would add in terms of deterrence?

Your parent post isn’t arguing for SBF to get 30 years, but pointing out how a large crime which affected at least hundreds of thousands and drove people to suicide gets a lower sentence than a violent crime which affects one person.

I have no idea if that’s true in the US, just trying to clarify the point.
This seems like one of those things where it doesn't matter if you are for or against social media for children, it should be universally agreed that it is utterly inappropriate for the school board to be spending time and money on this. It's yet more insane mission creep from a government institution to a realm far beyond what is reasonable and expected by the families using the service and the tax payer paying for the service.
But in all those cases the political process ultimately prevailed to create the laws it needed create to resolve the problem. It was not necessary to toss out the political system and move to an authoritarian one just to make it happen.

People may describe things as authoritarian in process, but once the law is established by elected representatives, it is by my definition NOT authoritarian.
In most jurisdictions, though, you do. Attempted murder does not get the same punishment that murder does. Though I agree with the premise that it should get substantially similar punishment. Successful murder should get a bit more due to the consequences.

Just to provide a diversity of opinion: I've heard basically nothing but positive feedback about Notepad++ over the years. However, I tried it out for about 10 seconds before closing it and never looked back. The, what I call "millions of tiny buttons" interface is ugly and distracting. I've never liked IDEs or other apps with this UI style. I use a JetBrains IDE now that has just as many features but the UI is not cluttered with millions of tiny buttons and tool ribbons.
Faster, cheaper, possibly ceases to exist. If that happens there's (supposedly) a way for you to slowly get your funds back by exiting on L1. The blob stuff is about "ok if that's a thing how do I prove to some L1 contract that I own these L2 funds?".

The actual proving mechanism is either a) too amazing for me to understand or b) not quite figured out yet. But first blobs..
People stress about the safeguards too much. If you run around trying to jam gps, airband, or cellular you'll get your pp slapped pretty hard. If you go off and experiment with random other stuff without making too much noise, literally nobody cares.
Statistical value of a human life in the US is around $7.5 million. Stealing $10 billion is therefore statistically equivalent to killing 1300 people, or pretty close to half of 9/11. That seems like a pretty light sentence to me.

Intent has a lot to do with it.

SBF operated with forethought and malice. He intended to deceive people. He was trying to commit fraud.

As the article says, it sends important message. And he does not serve 25 years.

I don't know how it is the US, but in Finland people get relatively longer sentences for financial crimes because long sentences have inhibitory effect for money crimes.

Most violent crimes happen without premeditation by people without impulse control and longer sentences don't actually reduce crime. White collar criminals weigh the costs and benefits and do their crimes in cold blood after long time of planning.

>you can run a business without trying to make as much profit as possible but you can not run a business that produces nothing

This is not an even comparison. A business that produces the minimum amount (0) of product/service should be compared against a business that produces the minimum amount (-$assets) of profit, which corresponds to 0 revenue. Neither business can be run, but the former can at least sit on its assets or pivot into actually making something.

A business can also produce too much and collapse (see Atari and DeLorean), but it can't collapse from too much profit.

It makes more sense to put the emphasis on profit, I think.

Why? This makes your location less accurate, breaks Airdrop (on iOS), and doesn't really help privacy given that MAC randomization has been a thing for a while now.

One exception is if you have ever connected to a hidden SSID: Due to how the protocol works, your phone has to broadcast that SSID name occasionally to probe for any access points nearby that might be part of it. Newer iOS versions specifically warn of this when connecting to one.
