Yep. AML and KYC laws are unconstitutional.

What utter nonsense on behalf of the courts. The "good faith" defense is irrelevant to the finding that a fundamental right was violated, and to deny the original defendant relief like this is just absurd.

Is it really "zero cost in maintenance" if that old code presents attack surface?

A large company has a ton of VPs. They're really not that special at scale, VPs don't fly private etc.

It's not the same op though. One is a check, the other creates an in-context copy that's unwrapped from the optional. The compiler of course optimizes this out but it's not the same.

Super cool! I absolutely adore swift, it has so many simple features I love that I am sometimes surprised to find are missing in other languages. (ex off the top of my head: switching on enum's with associated values is super powerful

What do you mean exactly? Moderation in the classical sense, where spam/off topic content is removed? or "Moderation": Consensus manipulation, speech/thought policing, censorship of opposing/controversial ideas, etc

The biggest problem IMO is the local moderators. They were too cheap to hire their own and instead recruited locals who were somehow unfit to run an HOA, then gave them censorship power.

This. Nextdoor recruits your local homebody to LARP as stasi for big tech, censoring their friends and neighbors because of minor/petty disagreements.

Most of this is irrelevant. Does USD have value? If you say yes, and I can then exchange X for USD in a reasonable amount of time then X is also valuable. You don't have to _like_ it, you don't have to think it's a good thing

I, and many other people, can execute a sale for very low rates and have a wire transfer hit my bank account in <24h. Even coinbase is pretty fast these days and will give $50k/day wire limits to anyone with a pulse.

>There is no underlying value there Plainly wrong on its face when they are immediately exchangeable for $50k USD, which no one in their right mind would argue "has no underlying value". The rest of the argument can be dismisse

To clarify, Apple can't see our source code but I imagine they can easily diff things like binary size and have basic decompiler tools to analyze things like what system APIs are called (how they bust you for private API use etc). When

Russia has a lot of unacknowledged "lost" soviet-era nukes that are actually still in its control. I could see them detonating one in India/Pakistan as a false flag to try and kick off a broader exchange to distract the West

Really? Because I would think refineries/wells start shutting down the second their profit goes negative.
