I will agree that the problem that class hierarchies attempt to solve is a problem one usually does not really have, but in your example you have not solved it at all.

It matches a relational database well, but once you have a just a user reference, you can not narrow it down to an employee without out of band information. If a user should be just one type that can be multiple things at once, you can give them a set of roles.

One thing this is missing is that forcing addicted players to buy again helps bring in the cash flow, so what a few legit people got wrapped up, enough buy back the equation for the shadier game companies (usually the big ones) will go ahead and never rescind a ban.

Impressive write-up, especially for your age! Thanks for sharing :)
The judge wrote at sentencing the murder for hire 'counted' as an element of the criminal enterprise. So if he was pardoned for his crimes that includes the murder for hire per the judgement of his case.
Are you really confused? Did you believe him? He commits many crimes himself and so do his associates.
Didn’t it just come out they are losing money on the pro subscriptions?
Mr. Trump isn't exactly known for making distinctions like that.

People have served more time for selling less drugs and attempting to murder fewer people than Ross Ulbricht did.

Just because he was decent with computers does not mean he should be busted out of jail.
Pensions aren't a social program though.

It's an employer provided retirement plan which relied on the employer surviving longer than you (which as the article points out, didn't happen for many large corporations.
Very little about the Libertarian party is libertarian. Yet another party carrying water for authoritarianism, with the difference being that the implementation is through corporations.
I'm just shocked it was a full pardon instead of a commutation or something. I don't think the US is gaining a ton from keeping him locked up but he still did run an organization he knew was used for selling drugs and other illegal things and a full pardon for that seems weird. I feel like I mainly heard people talking about commuting his sentence

I got an Atari Gamestation Pro for Christmas and it just amazes me how well a lot of those old 2600 games hold up. My kids have had a blast playing Pong, Warlords, Bowling, and Outlaws with me.

I have two of "The Original Greek Pepper Mill" - it's an 8" tall copper thing. It's been amazing. Why do I have two of them, you ask? I kept my mom's after she passed; it was probably 30 years old already.

If you want to grind a ton of pepper with fine grind control, you could also use one of the modern generations of manual coffee grinders, like the MHW-3Bomber Blade R3 or the cheaper TIMEMORE knockoff. They have excellent and fast and precise grind mechanisms. I'm not sure about the MHW but the timemore will stand alone with the bottom of so you can use it like you'd use a coffee grinder, or attach the grinds cup if you want to crank out a lot.

(I'm using an older, cheaper manual coffee grinder as my sichuan peppercorn grinder and it's solid for that but I do prefer the greek mill from an aesthetic perspective -- and it's so dang solid.)
Unfortunately you could level the same type of name calling towards Democrats. It's now public record they colluded with all the major media outlets, coerced big tech to censor and debank opponents, imprisoned whistleblowers, violated bodily autonomy with unconstitutional mandates, weaponized the courts to conduct lawfare, and now issued an unprecedented number of pre-emptive pardons for unspecified crimes committed by Fauci, Hunter Biden, et al.

I remember when the Democrats were the anti-war party, but Biden was escalating the Ukraine war in the final days of his presidency, and celebrated Dick Cheney's endorsement of Kamala Harris. Crazy how things have changed so much. The left unanimously viewed Bush and Cheney as obviously psychopathic war criminals, and now almost all the Neocons have jumped over to the Democrats. The left used to be extremely skeptical of globalization as evident by the Seattle WTO Protests, mass immigration as evident by Bernie Sanders' comments on its effect on workers' wages, and Big Pharma's perverse incentives to keep people sick and regularly consuming drugs. Yet the media has utterly psyop'd the progressives... it's kinda disturbing.
You're right. I guess we just shouldn't do anything. And somehow it's virtue signaling and reduces output?

Talk like this is never apolitical. No political change can occur without discussion first and therefore preemptively dismissing political discussion is inherently an endorsement of the current power structures.

There is no way to actually discuss this specific story without discussing politics. A president pardoning someone is an inherently political act and that is only emphasized when it was done on his first day in office and with a statement that includes lines like "The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponization of government against me." That is all part of the story of what happened here and it involves politics whether you like it or not.
Australia. Our fastest networks are pathetically slow.

The L2 FTTN parts of the NBN have been known to have an RTT in the range of minutes, for some locations.

My own varies from 5ms, for those who don't assume my geography, out to 890ms for those that do.
wasn't there evidence of hiring a hitman to commit a murder in furtherance of the Silk Road? that's not part of "the debt of running the silk road"
I think that requires convincing evidence. Also, how is it relevant to the question?
Yeah, that's a problem. It is leaking metadata, not content.

Ideally, the image should be padded, encrypted with a different key, and given a different URL for each user who is authorized to view it. But this would increase the client's burden significantly, especially in conversations that include more than two people.

That is table stakes for Trump
Trump did just about what every president does - makes promises and then does some of them, tries to some others (successful unless thwarted by Congress), and ignores others.

Obama didn't have the votes in the Senate (to overcome the filibuster, also not as many Dems congressmen supported it as you might think). Neither did Clinton (people thought it would happen then)
those thinking this is a criminal who shouldn’t be released i recommend reading this thread https://x.com/tayvano_/status/1641931312385888256

I was thinking of hooking them in RPGs with text-based dialogue, so that a character will say something slightly different every time you speak to them.
It's a full pardon; there is no crime.
I mean strictly speaking the people voted for Trump, so collectively they're all okay with this.

Of course Trump's platform was enormously based on law & order and combatting the drug trade, which he seems to think should still be actually illegal and is not ending the war on drugs so, I don't know - make of that what you will.
What makes you think I support those people being locked up either? Also, afaik Ulbricht didn't sell drugs himself, he simply provided an unmoderated marketplace.
Possibly because he was already facing a long sentence and it wasn't worth pursuing that charge.

Whether that's crazy depends on your threat model. If there's no reason, it could still be crazy in the sense of protecting from an irrational fear. If you communicate with people or organisations who shouldn't know your location, it makes sense. It depends
When I was sales-adjacent, the retail price for the fanciest highest paying ad, a 10 second pre-roll (video ad before the video) was $40 per 1,000 views. Without a specific campaign, it's like $2 per 1,000 or less. Unless it's different now, one only makes actual $ if they're extremely popular or they're directly selling a product. And that product is usually makeup. And those are usually some MLM scam.

Gorgeous pepper mills. The website breaks the back button, however.
Hmm, but you have to be squinting pretty hard to see an equivalence between Snapchat and silk road
I can confirm -- I was very happy with my 4a until a few days ago. Yes, the battery life is less than when it was new, but I didn't have any problems keeping it >50% charged nearly always.

Since the forced update, it drains very quickly, charges slowly, and the reported percentage is next to useless. I can leave my home with a fully charged phone and 90 minutes later it is 34%. Under similar conditions before the update, it would have been at 80%. And not 80% because it was lying to me, I could go 4x longer before the battery would run out.

The last time I looked at non-pixel/non-apple phones there were no good alternatives. Here's to hoping something better is available now.
Yes, it was the biggest drug market on the dark web at that time, and the 50,676 bitcoins seized by the feds from then is today worth 5,3 billion dollars to give you an idea.

Also there was a long side story with disappeared bitcoins, presumably stolen by federal investigators.
Yes let's use word that need massive essays to explain what one person believes they mean... Like "woke". And not just stick to words we know the meaning of. That surely aid the discussion. /s
Just as there is an AWS for the public, with something similar but only for Federal use, so it could be possible that there is AI cloud services available to the public and then a separate cloud service for Federal use. I am sure that military intelligence agencies etc. would like to buy such a service.
Murder is usually state-level jurisdiction, and the President can only pardon federal jurisdiction.
Running an elicit drug and whatever else you want to sell market is legal now.
Because attempted murder is bad. I didn't think that would be contentious.
I will complain that it is hard to reason about. You better have a really good reason to do something like this, like third party extensibility as an absolute requirement. It should not be your go to approach for everything.
Yeah, the Sacklers should be in jail too.

And you didn't bother to address that he ran a market for illegal goods and services, for some reason.
>And you're expecting them to make pennies?

I don't think the person you are replying to was expecting this. Rather, I read their comment as agreeing with you that the benefits and compensation were low enough that few people would be interested in the position except as a stepping stone into a better faculty position.

Seems like a good strategy is to circle slowly until you pick up a sonar trace and then try to follow it and get in the opponent's baffles. Converting the sonar trace into a map of the opponent's position over time is the essential skill and is something that I'm sure is automated in real submarines.
So that means Sackler should be charged, not that Ross should get off lol.
Ross Ulbricht was not a good person. Full stop.

He organized and operated a global criminal drug ring and conspired to have people killed. The only difference between DPR and Pabla Escobar is that DPR was running his drug business in the 2010s instead of the 1980s.
I can only speak for myself, but a large and growing proportion of the text I read every day is LLM output. If Claude and Deepseek produce slop, then it's a far higher calibre of slop than most human writers could aspire to.
Well, that thread is almost a decade old. HN a decade ago was a very different vibe than today.

You are insinuating one thing, but perhaps it is also possible reason is that the same people with those old views of the crimes have grown and their views changed. I know mine certainly have gone that way. I’d have to imagine other users have grown with me.
I mean daily we have responses and posts based on feels, but anyway I would state mine is based on fact.

Firstly, The sentence for running the exact same website, was 5 years.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/silk-road-2-founder-dread-pi...

The two life sentences and 35 years extra that were given to Ross were most certainly abnormal and used to make an example of. I have yet to see this comparison made although if anyone could provide valid reasons in the difference I would be open to listening.

Secondly, the sheer number of posts on this site stating didn't he hire a hitman. No, and there was no conviction of that.
It will be similar to the space race between Soviet Union and US. And just like Soviet Union going broke and collapsing, China too will go even more broke and collapse.
"There are maybe a few hundred people in the world who viscerally understand what's coming. Most are at DeepMind / OpenAI / Anthropic / X but some are on the outside. You have to be able to forecast the aggregate effect of rapid algorithmic improvement, aggressive investment in building RL environments for iterative self-improvement, and many tens of billions already committed to building data centers. Either we're all wrong, or everything is about to change." - Vedant Misra, Deepmind Researcher.

Maybe your calibration isn't poor. Maybe they really are all wrong but there's a tendency here to these these people behind the scenes are all charlatans, fueling hype without equal substance hoping to make a quick buck before it all comes crashing down, but i don't think that's true at all. I think these people really genuinely believe they're going to get there. And if you genuinely think that, them this kind of investment isn't so crazy.
We recently bought the "Trudeau Seville Pepper Mill, 6-Inch". It was quire inexpensive, has an all metal mechanism, and does a coarse grind that my wife likes. We've used it daily for a couple years now and it's been flawless.
As a sibling comment expresses, it’s their unshaded nature. The light is too direct/harsh and can introduce glare. They can also wind up in peripheral vision easily, particularly when sitting down and looking up at someone standing or at an object high on the wall.

Indirect/shaded lamps that diffuse the light over a larger area and reduce its intensity are preferable.

Even if you compare like for like, SR Vs SR2, the responses, charges, and sentences still aren't the same.
No, generally a pardon does not eliminate any civil liability or entitle you to refunds once the assets have been transferred to Treasury. He would still have to answer Yes to having been convicted of a felony and he would still not be entitled to vote in states that do not permit felons to vote.

> Where a person has paid a monetary penalty or forfeited property, the consequences of a pardon depend in part on when it was issued. If a monetary fine or contraband cash has been transferred to the Treasury, a pardon conveys no right to a refund, nor does the person pardoned have a right to reacquire property or the equivalent in cash from a legitimate purchaser of his seized assets or from an informant who was rewarded with cash taken from the pardoned person before he was pardoned.

It would have to be bitcoin, which isn't very hidden
This is 100% true. I am posting from an anon account (obviously), but I was heavily involved in this. I worked with members of the party to push part of their strategy - mainly the coalition with trump and an effort to get vivek and elon involved. We spoke about this in 2023. I didn't care about Ross, had my own motivations, but I wrote some of their playback with AI and it worked. I didn't know about certain things (like the losing candidate for example). I wrote strategy that seems to have made its way all the way to Trump's team.
Until now I oddly never questioned how any government could seize someone's bitcoin and how a government keeps the private keys of their crypto wallets secure.

For all of the naysayers in the comments, I think the author has hit on a palpable societal trend, at least in the US.

My leading theory is that the pandemic supercharged a lot of folks' individualist tendencies and/or nihilism, and we're seeing the decline in real time. To claim that the author is simply missing the incentives, bureaucracy, or other structural mechanisms behind enshittification, is missing the point, and they even allude to these towards the bottom of TFA!

Poking holes in the examples is similarly missing the point, but I know we love correcting people on the internet. Cunningham's law and all that...
I don’t believe that’s true. A pardon does not excuse a crime.
I appreciate the thoughts! I still think you're underestimating the damage that flamewars, especially the shallow intense ones, do to the community, but I suppose we've each made our points and I shouldn't harp on it. I want to correct one thing though. This isn't true:

> your attrition in moderating another post to your self-satisfaction was what encouraged you to make the decision to not even bother attempting with this one

It was, as I said, a secondary consideration. The primary ones are the ones I've spent much more time explaining, because they're primary. If they had pointed the other way then I would have gone against that preference in myself. I do agree with you about self-awareness, though; it is a precious thing and probably the most elusive one.

p.s. for selfish reasons I'd be curious to hear your take on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42787306, in which I attempted at unfortunate length to talk about this issue from a different angle. Don't read it unless you're actually interested though. It wouldn't be surprising if no one were; sometimes I just write these things to get them out of my system.

This is often a bit of a cop-out.

Any time a criminal is caught, people want them to do hard time, but people believe we're too hard on crime if you don't use examples. People think the government should spend less, but are far less likely too agree to any specific cut. People thought Musk was a genius until they realised he is also a jerk.

And while it's sometimes different people, it's suspiciously reliably consistent in what you see said and upvoted.
I don't know. I personally know people that lost their minds because of an election. Completely well off people, whose lives are not affected at all by national politics, apart from slight changes in tax rates. They live in a state and city that shares their politics. They're isolated from everything on the national level.

Yet some of these people have rearranged their entire lives around a singular politician. Ended relationships, moved, started therapy or medication.

It happens on both sides and its pretty sad.

What else would you call that?
Libertarians are a self selecting bunch. Very few were raised into this philosophy. You can appreciate that my self identification as a libertarian is a careful, reasoned decision and not one that was flippantly made. It is the philosophy that is the most accurate and truthful to me.
> it's impossible to build a full-sized reactor in less than 10 years, and the usual over-run is 5 years

I'm curious why that is. If we know how to build it, it shouldn't take that long. It's not like we need to move a massive amount of earth or pour a humongous amount of concrete or anything like that, which would actually take time. Then why does it take 15 years to build a reactor with a design that is already tried and tested and approved?

There are opportunity costs no matter which job you take, from startup to FAANG. So of course this is assuming that you joined the startup after carefully considering other employment options, as you absolutely should. No disagreement there. :)
Of course, there will be an outlier. I didn't state no history. One person doing wrong after being released shouldn't mean no one gets released.
