Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) - 18 U.S.C. § 1030:

If the employee exceeded authorized access or acted without authorization to manipulate the payment system, they could be charged under the CFAA, which criminalizes unauthorized access to computer systems.

Obstruction of Federal Proceedings or Official Duties - 18 U.S.C. § 1505 or § 1913:

§ 1505: Obstruction of agency proceedings or congressional actions.

§ 1913: Prohibits using appropriated funds to lobby or interfere with government decisions, though applicability may depend on intent.

Interfering with congressionally mandated payments could constitute obstruction of lawful government functions.

Theft or Conversion of Government Funds - 18 U.S.C. § 641:

If the payment was lawfully owed and the employee’s actions deprived the recipient of funds, this could be seen as theft or conversion of government property.

False Statements or Fraud - 18 U.S.C. § 1001:

If the employee falsified records, submitted false information, or lied to justify stopping the payment, they might face charges for making false statements.

Conspiracy - 18 U.S.C. § 371:

If others were involved, conspiracy charges could apply to defraud the U.S. or commit other offenses.

Malfeasance or Misconduct in Office:

While not a specific federal statute, general misconduct or breach of public trust could lead to charges under broader provisions or administrative penalties (e.g., termination, fines).
Your comment indicates that you fundamentally misunderstand BTC. I recommend reading Broken Money by Lyn Alden.
Seems like a pointless thing to talk about, "most web projects today". You don't know what specific requirements people have, and people have been making "web projects" with limited resources since the web started.

Yet, for some reason, I see this repeated everywhere, always. Does it make the people who repeat it feel better? Are they actually informing anyone of anything? Who knows.

I'm not sure what they intended this to apply to. LLM based systems don't change their own operation (at least, not more so than anything with a database).

We'll probably have to wait until they fine someone a zillion dollars to figure out what they actually meant.

The president is allowed to set standards for executive agencies. But his job is to faithfully execute the laws, and in doing so, he can't just shut down executive agencies by trying to fire everyone, and take them over with random people he appoints as advisors. Those agencies exist not for him to wield power over, but to implement our priorities as authorized by the Congress.

The way it's supposed to work is the executive sends an aspirational budget to congress that embodies his policy agenda, our representatives vote on the budget, the congress appropriates the money that we send the government to the executive branch, and then the executive branch spends that money, again, faithfully. That's the oath he took. What that means operationally is that he can't just defund things we voted for in the budget that doesn't match his political agenda. Doing so should be impeachable, because it would represent a breach of his oath. It doesn't matter that he has a different agenda, he's the president for everyone.

Since he's not doing it this way, that's why people are pointing it out as unconstitutional, and illegal.

For DOGE to be legal what it needs to operate in just an advisory capacity. It should recommend things to cut, but there has to be reasons, an auditable process, transparency, and meaningful oversight. For starters, Musk has a massive conflict of interest in that he's a recipient of government contracts. So he himself shouldn't even be part of this process without first answering to that. If we keep going down this path, the people advocating for it now will not like being on the receiving end when that level of capriciousness is directed against them.
Yes, some Bitcoin people still hold on to the idea that somehow layer 2 or layer 3 systems will somehow make Bitcoin practical for regular payments again.

But largely that's been abandoned for the "store of value"/"number go up" speculative use-case which is easily 99.99% of the point of Bitcoin today.
BJJ feels like it fits well because it's super fun to play but super boring to watch. Gyms make a killing and some super stars exist, but at its core you'll just find dudes rolling around on mats for fun.

We have his last "audit" of Twitter, where he repeatedly and publicly embarrassed himself with half hearted explanations for his clearly personal firings as he carved the platform into a racist hellhole.

Some of us know people that work for him, confirming he is that boss that will fire anyone giving him bad news on the spot because he wants to push his dumbass unreachable deadlines. And mostly because he thinks it's cool and has reveled in his ability to fire people like any small human would.

We have the evidence of the family, that everything Musk says about his presence in raising his own kids is a lie. He was not around, and seems to only push the narrative because he knows being an absentee father would be unpalatable to the conservatives he's courting.

They're hiring interns to fire people because they're molding their ride or die sycophants. It's completely natural to assume when they're telling us they're being thoughtful, they aren't. That when they say it's for you, it's for them. It always has been. That you choose to stick your head in the sand is your problem.
I hope you're right. I like America, I want you guys to overcome this.

Just remember that what most people think of when you say "fascism" is "literally Nazis".

I don't think many people believe that's where the US is heading. There are far more possible flavors of fascism.

The direction of the US is more like what Russia has, an oligarchy, with elements of fascism like concentration camps.
> Have you tried telling them straight up that their behaviour is unacceptable?

Yea, but it isn't effective on anybody that is fooling themselves or that isn't interested in listening to me. I lack the skill of influence. My usual outcome in this situation is that I drop anyone that is unwilling to listen because it isn't healthy for me. I do give people the benefit of the doubt. Both parties need to respect each other - one-sided submission is unpleasant.

The majority of people learn for themselves as they mature and they are easy to communicate with. Your examples fit this.

The problem is the people that never learn or don't care to. I don't know what to do with them.
It works great, until the software gets reused in another hardware configuration and then something goes really bad.
A simple tool to take SOX and wrap it for android so I can do all those patches to audio. I can find half the functionality, but nobody wants to give me the commandline audacity "talk like a duck" or "phaser effect done badly" SOX gives me.

Hugin for Android, I think Bimostitch is, but doesn't say so. It only has 3 of the projection models and I can't hand-alter the image alignment.

Another android app: snip this bit and that bit of an image, and join em. Or, snip out a region and shift-up (shift-left, shift-right, shift-down) -Its easy to black out regions, its hard to actually cut paste regions in a photo. Can be useful. Or screenshots.

De-dupe images. Perceptual hash logic. Not EXIF meta data only, a decent model which finds trimmed, edited, EXIF non-compliant dupes in the image set.

One thing CCP did masterfully is sending very young grads, who are newly admitted to the party, to go to different local communities and evaluate the outcome government project like poverty reduction there (because obviously Xi don’t trust local officials and party members). These young people have a lot of energy to make some impact, also too young to lie or corrupt. The result turned out to be actually effective.

There are quite some admiration for CCP from the american new right like moldbug and musk, It seems either they took a page from CCP, or happen to think alike.
And how would Bitcoin make the economy better?
> There are loans and there are "loans". This isn't El Salvador issuing bonds on the market, it is politics that comes with political conditions. That means they negotiated it and that means they got something in exchange for any leverage they could find.

I think you need to take a pause and read what you wrote because there's some serious cognitive dissonance in your claims.

The IMF is a fund put together and ran by the majority of countries in the world as a lender of last resort. It serves as the world's insurance policy on stability. So when a country like El Salvador knocks on their doors, it's a kin to stating the world they are in trouble and they desperately need a hand. The IMF then provides help, but requires as a tradeoff that the country cleans up their act and actually corrects it's course as to mitigate or eliminate the root causes of their instability. For example, countries that are hugely indebted have to comply with demands to lower their sovereign debt down to manageable levels.

Looking at El Salvador, their populist and ill-advised policy to adopt Bitcoin as a currency was a fantastic failure with a tradeoff of being a huge risk factor. Even the most firebrand crypto bro is forced to acknowledge that crypto currencies like Bitcoin have a number of traits that renders them unusable as money, among which the most popular one is the core reason driving it's popularity: volatility. It's to no surprise that one of the basic requirements for stability is to not use a highly volatile and uncontrollable asset as the nation's currency.
You're baffled that someone would do their job if nobody is going to thank them for it?
It is legal to make a federal government employee’s name, role, and salary publicly accessible because taxpayer-funded positions fall under the scope of public interest and open-records laws, which promote transparency and accountability in the use of government funds. You can find this information on official databases like the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) website, which routinely publishes data about federal employees’ salaries and positions, as well as on other government websites that provide access to public records.

I don't think that's a fair comparison.

In Ruby, you always use the global name (with caps) that normally matches the library with possibly some nesting. (exceptions exists, but its also possible to add globals in Python)

Unless you are talking about include, but thats for mixins, which are snippets of reusable coee you can add to you class.

It doesn't feel at all as dirty as `from blah import *`.
Temporal has the option of using postgres as the persistence backend. Presumably, the simplicity of DBOS comes from not having to spin up a webserver and workflow engine to orchestrate the functions?
No, that was imaginary.

If you want to know what's going on with flags and these stories on HN, I've written quite a bit about it over the last couple days. There's a shorter version at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42922234 and two longer ones at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42911011 (including a later reply). If you (or anyone) read those and still have a question that isn't answered there, I'd be happy to take a crack at it.
These would be great in the UK where we have smaller gardens and poor access. Typically access to rear gardens in semi-detached housing stock is down a narrow path between then houses. For terraced houses I’ve seen someone drive a mini-digger through the house to access the garden.
Both JP and SKR increased gdp/productivity ~10-20x when they had <2 TFR by increasing % of workforce to skilled/tertiary (advanced economies have skilled workforce approaching 70/80%). PRC is at ~20% while adding more skilled workforce than roughly OECD combined. Structurally China will add more just STEM in next 20 years than US projected to increase population, i.e. if every US newborn and immigrant (assuming current levels) are STEM, US will merely match PRC STEM generation. PRC also adding 80m other tertiary or vocational skilled ontop of that. For strategic competition, the structural demographic trend you should compare is PRC peaking at roughly 2x-3x US skilled workers who will be in workforce for 50+ years, i.e. greatest high skill demographic divident in recorded history. Meanwhile they'll be shedding 100s of millions of low productive workers. Imagine PRC workforce profile adding 5 japans and losing 3 nigerias. Another caveat being about 200m of population decline will be inefficient farming households that can be effectively replaced with 20m modern ag workers. Or 600m low productive (bottom 2 quantiles who are undereducated / old / left behind by modernization) contributes to like 5% of GDP, i.e. their consumption / productivity is comparable to a few 10s million of high value workers. Then consider PRC is also adding more industrial robotics / automation than RoW combined. The question is whether US can compete with PRC with multiple times more skilled talent and larger industrial base than they have now, both increasing at rates that US is structurally unable to close gap on for decades short of AGI / von neumann machine hailmary (which granted is a real possiblity, but then we're also in a world where PRC is spitting out incubated humans).
The "cold copper" accelerator technology is really neat, in my opinion. The way particle accelerators work is that they pump RF through waveguides into cavities, such that the electric field pushes on the electrons right as they enter the cavity. Historically, they've been built with geometry like cylinders and rectangles where the fields can be worked out analytically, and that can be fabricated easily. They're proposing using modern computational modeling techniques to design better cavity geometries that can then be fabricated with modern CNC techniques. That should allow more efficient accelerators and higher acceleration gradients.
Well, they brought the turn signal stalks back. That should count as a positive change.
Charles Dickens would like to talk to you about copyright infringement and the US publishing industry...
In The Inner Citadel, in the section of living in the present, the author says there is a "thin" moment separating past and future and a thick moment by meaningfulness. If a thin/technical moment is 1/44.1kHz, a thick moment is a note of music. A current answer to the meaning of life. This person is not about the day to day tensions.
I can't follow the logic.

In the context of remote attestation, they can revoke the key and vulnerability like these won't help.

I like Rust, but my worst experiences with Rust are interop with C. From this LWN article, some people seem very very stubborn against including Rust in Linux. As someone who really likes Rust, I must say its borrow-checker design, and other things like derive and proc-macros. Personally, if Rust people are willing to undergo the full burden of maintaining Rust in the kernel and not place undue burden on the C developers, I feel that it could be a good idea to include Rust. It seems a little petty to just block Rust as a blanket statement.

However, I must ask: is there a world in which interop didn't have to be so bad without hugely sacrificing memory safety? Is this a problem that Zig solves (I must be honest, I don't really know much about Zig)? What _is_ the better solution?
> OK so you didn't need to say all that.

I'll take that as a "thank you" :)

> Saying you meant conservative in the sense that it's the opposite of radical, rather than conservative as in right-wing politics, would have sufficed.

Yes I did, I did try to say that in the comment you replied to but on re-reading it could have been clearer and was probably a bit snarky.

> Anyway, Bukele's treatment of the gang situation in El Salvadore can simultaneously be a flagrant violation of human rights while also being an effective measure to curtail untenable levels of gang violence.

It can be that, but the previous government's treatment of the gang situation in El Salvadore be a flagrant violation of human rights of all the citizens who had been affected by crime and violence. The suffering endured by those people wasn't humane. That's the problem, right? I can see it's not a black and white situation, can you? Can you name a single "progressive" policy that has zero downsides, costs, unintended consequences, etc? No, on social scales and government policy, everything is a big mess of chaotic cause and effect and good and bad and statistical outcomes, so picking a narrow class of human rights for one class of people in a whole society and say "those are getting worse therefore it can't be progressive" is really reductionist and not even true because in the same way you can probably rule out anything being progressive.

I'm not going to respond to your points one by one because yet again I add the disclaimer that I think it is terrible things got so bad they came to such measures, and maybe not all measures were exactly right. But what is clear is that it is a bold and brave social reform that went against status quo and has been extraordinarily successful in restoring and defending human rights for many, and in many ways improving society for the better, for a huge majority of citizens. Safe to call it progressive, but really call it whatever you like I guess, but a flagrant violation of human rights I think lacks some understanding or nuance of the reality of the situation there.
