> Even this one-sided telling acknowledges that he never received any of that money, and that the CFO and finance department signed off on what happened.

It absolutely doesn't say that.. and it's not a credit to Carlos that many of his schemes to steal tens of millions of dollars in the future were discovered before he could do so.

> In addition to the more than $90 million in undisclosed and unpaid compensation, Ghosn and his subordinates knowingly or recklessly made, or caused to be made, false and misleading statements regarding more than $50 million of additional pension benefits for Ghosn. These included misleading Nissan’s CFO and other Nissan executives regarding the accounting for the additional pension amounts, and creating a false disclosure to support how Nissan accounted for them

[..]

> On or around February 23, 2015, at Ghosn’s direction, Nissan Employee 1 submitted an “Application for Budget Usage” signed by Ghosn, Nissan Employee 1, and Nissan’s CFO, to approve the use of the CEO reserve to book the LTIP awards. Nissan’s CFO was falsely told that the LTIP awards were a broad-based grant to numerous Nissan participants rather than that the vast majority was for Ghosn and included exchange rate protection on the inflated retirement allowance. Relying on this false information, Nissan’s CFO approved and signed off on the LTIP expense request, and the amounts were recorded over three fiscal years. Nissan’s CFO would not have approved booking the LTIP expense without additional disclosure if he had known the truth about its actual intended use.

The board approved Ghosn to create a subsidary to invest in new technologies and instead he spent over $20M on houses for himself in Rio and Beirut...

I literally can't believe people defend this level of corruption. He didn't spend "years" in jail awaiting trial, it was 3 months after the first arrest, another month after the second and then he fled the country within a year of his first arrest [the Japanese kept him in jail for those first 3 months because for some reason they thought he was a flight risk!)
Thing is, if there's too many of "them", they will eventually come for "us" with torches and pitchforks. You can victimize a large part of the population like that, but not a supermajority of it.

There are plenty of criciticisms about the means by which he was prosecuted but "others get a pass but he doesn't" is not a great way of thinking about this.

If the government decides to get more serious about this stuff, there will be firsts! There will be people who "got away with it"! It's never applied perfectly evenly. You gotta start somewhere.

Of course the way he was thrown around, when they could have impounded a bunch of his assets and just restricted his movements... the police have their ways of doing things and restriction of speech in particular to avoid coverups is probably a huge chunk of their motivations.

Ghosn isn't the first executive in Japan to ever be arrested. But maybe the police felt the stakes were too high. During the Livedoor scandal, Horie had to post a 300 million yen bond for his temporary freedom, and that was for an "internet company". How much would Ghosn's bond need to be in comparison? Not saying that this is the right way to go about things, but it feels at least consistent.

Ask HN: Best block-based programming for Minecraft?
Two of the things my son likes are:

1. Creating things with block-based programming (e.g. Octostudio and Scratch).

2. Minecraft.

Back in December, I subscribed to Tynker, based on a recommendation here on HN. I was pleasantly surprised to see they have the ability to use block-based programming to do things in Minecraft. I tried it out and it worked well, but didn't get around to introducing it to my son.

This weekend, I tried showing him, but it didn't work, because Tynker's Minecraft websocket server was down. I've been messaging with their support team, who have replied with things like:

"our servers are being rebooted, and we’ll fix it as soon as possible"

"We have already asked the developers to look into this."

But it's been a few days with intermittent up time, so I'm wondering whether to use something else for Minecraft, or just hope that the Tynker folks manage to fix whatever is wrong with their infra or code.

I've seen online that there are several options for block-based programming for Minecraft:

- Tynker

- Code.org

- Scratch

- Microsoft Makecode (requires Education Edition, not Bedrock)

I'm not very familiar with Minecraft, so I'm not sure:

- whether the Code.org and Scratch integrations work with Bedrock Edition or not, and

- whether any of these four are better (e.g. better UX for assembling programs, better tutorials, more features)

I'd love to hear from someone who has used more than one of these with Minecraft.

> if you have a trusted builder, why don't you just use their build

Pardon my tinfoil hat, but doing this would make them a high-value target. If I like them enough to trust their builds, I probably also like them enough to avoid focusing the attentions of the bad guys on them.

Better would be to have a lot of trusted builders all comparing hashes... like, every NixOS user you know (and also the ones they know) so that there's nobody in particular to target.

Actually, I already won a small lottery jackpot doing security stuff. Then a large one doing security stuff. Then a small one again doing other stuff.

> So now we get to the issue: git would want us to rebase every one of these branches individually.

Not really, sounds close to git's --rebase-merges (formerly --preserve-merges):

It seems that the brief period where demand vastly outstripped the supply of workers in many sectors (2021-2023) really terrified the leadership of many companies. Workers gaining a sliver of leverage is clearly something they are working to quickly remedy. And for unionized jobs, the current administration just paralyzed the NLRB so the tide is turning back to the status quo or worse.
(1) is a definite failure point, and (4) is going to be done for free by hobbyists. The best-case scenario is that the proposal helps keep honest people honest, reducing the number of malicious actors.

The problem is that the malicious product is nearly infinitely scalable, enough so that I expect services to crop up whereby people use rooms full of trusted devices to attest to your favorite photo, for very low fees. If that's not the particular way this breaks then it's because somebody found something even more efficient or the demand isn't high enough to be worth circumventing (and in the latter case the proposal is also worthless).

No they're not. I have, genuinely, no idea what market this targets. I concur on the hole vs screw size in the demo.

> This is patently false, and goes to show you don't understand the issue at all. They have tremendous benefits. In New York State, they constitutionally are required to give housing and support, which is why you hear of stories of illegal aliens getting hotel rooms, gift cards, and cell phones.

The solutions being pushed are federal. Federal is intended to guard border, but it sounds like some states are fine with providing benefits. So is the friction with states exercising their rights to provide services to people in their borders, or with the provision of federal benefits?

Maybe I've lost the bead here, does the current administration support more or less federalism?

As someone who uses this model with git, the main reason is because git is ubiquitous but I cannot get used to git's incredibly user unfriendly API. I've tried the feature branch approach and it doesn't click for me. Merge conflicts, lost changes, and git reset everywhere.

So in other words, I'm using this model because if I could use perforce I probably would, but git is everywhere.

Also, every time I bring up git's user unfriendliness, I'm always told it's not that hard and I'm holding it wrong. I'm sure I am now too, I just don't care.

I took a Tesla cab (the crossover SUV). I don't see how you can describe the interior as anything remotely utilitarian (even the Windows start menu is, even if you don't like Windows); the thing was barren other than the tablet for a console in the front.

You’re being intentionally obtuse. The source of the problem isn’t the lock-up agreement, which was negotiated independently of the RSUs. And the lock-up agreement is easily (and commonly) circumvented—the problem is intractable because it’s unrelated to the lock-up.

(And pedantically, a 185-day lock-up is not common.)
No but the sports referee perhaps specializes in one or a few games/leagues.

And at high levels, a referee role is probably similar to physician/lawyer where you'll have annual rule updates/changes, jurisprudence history of past rulings, and conventions/associations of referees where they will be spending money, time and effort when not on the field.

Now multiply the referee's game or league types by everything in /usr/bin

> Your analogy to a city doesn't apply because a city doesn't have sovereignty. It cannot stop people from coming into it like you can with a country or house. If you think it acceptable to break down the sovereignty of a country, then there is no reason why I can't do the same to houses.

> We have a globally accepted idea on this, so the burden is on you why we need to destroy it.

Per sister comment to yours, we don't have a "globally accepted idea" as states (which do have sovereignty, unlike both homes and most cities) offer benefits to undocumented immigrants, suggesting that by way of policy they are okay with different standards of immigration. If two people arguing for the same policy disagree completely on the internal consistency in supporting their argument, this suggests that the argument lacks coherence.

I continue to reject that the analogy of a home has useful equivalence to a sovereign state regarding immigration on grounds that it is a logical fallacy.

This is sad and surprising.

I’ve been through so many shenanigans during my previous life as a naive startup employee: paid huge amounts of AMT (which took years to recoup via AMT credits), was not offered 83b election, had to write huge checks to exercise ISO, had to pay taxes when exercising NSO, etc., but I had never heard of a company threatening to forfeit the RSU if tax is not wired to them, it’s simply wild, especially when the liquidity is so close.

If I was in your shoes and the amount was substantial, I’d consult a lawyer. I hired one to help me facilitate a secondary sale transaction contract and it cost me $4k, money well spent. Tons of them in the Bay Area.

Further proof that computer "science" is a nonsense discipline. ;-)

The World Wide Web was invented at CERN, a particle physics laboratory, by someone with BA in physics. Who later got the Turing award, which computer scientists claim is somehow equivalent to a nobel prize.

Prof. Tanenbaum (whose degrees are also in physics) wasn't entirely off base though - Linux repeated Unix's mistakes and compromises (many of which were no longer necessary in 1992, let alone 2001 when macOS recycled NeXT's version of Unix) and we are still suffering from them some decades later.
