If it's years before a conviction [1], who knows who will be president. But all presidents have given controversial pardons... some with a very strong quid-pro-quo smell (Clinton and Mark Rich). [1] https://nymag.com/i

He's in trouble whether he talks or not. I think he's betting on a pardon, and the PR campaign is intended to make that more politically viable.

I saw this with a Dell Alienware x14. In both instances, it appeared that the problem was caused by an automated Windows update that triggered a reboot, during which BIOS decided to prompt the user before allowing booting to proceed. My t

You have given no explanation for the preposterous line of questioning I pointed out. Now it's Nov. 30. Has NYT published anything nearly as comprehensive as this article? They have significant resources at their disposal

Seriously? "Asked whether he was overly dependent on that small group, Mr. Bankman-Fried said his circle of close colleagues numbered about 15." What a softball! Perfectly calibrated to his mistakes-not-fraud PR push. In contrast,

I totally missed the part where they say that there have been no other criminals in crypto. Could you point me to that? Or are you just thinking that the PR narrative of well-intentioned-but-made-some-mistakes would be better at protecting

I regret the "clearly not true" wording. I wasn't reading your original comment as closely as I should have. But now I'm not clear exactly what you are claiming. Of the 200 cases you've seen, how many were petit l

So on the one side I see news reports of dozens of cases of serial shoplifting offenders out on the streets, and the NYC DA informing his staff and letting the public know that if you steal less than $500 you will not go to jail. But you&

A big cause of petty crimes (and more serious ones) is people growing up among criminals and seeing them not face harsh consequences. The reality experienced by a group of people shapes their mores over time.

9 years before the FTX fiasco she was already arguing that people should not be punished for the crimes they commit! Foresight? Or causality?

It's not hard to use a "vector" library or even just a small set of macros that ensure memory safety when you are manipulating slices of strings or buffers. Unfortunately it's very tempting to play fast and loose with

A problem in mathematics is that mathematicians do not always agree on the definitions of things -- even very fundamental concepts [1] [2] -- and so Wikipedia in the interest of neutrality presents all definitions in use. In a given textbo

Code generation tools in this time frame were a great example of a mass delusion. Being the only same person in the room can be frustrating.

You are correct, but at the same time your response shows a poor understanding of politics. A "rather large lack of understanding" of the CIA on the part of the American public is exactly why the CIA is allowed to do what they do.

The author makes the point that turns allow for exact representation of many commonly used angles, but with binary floating point, many common angles (1/6 of a turn, for example) are inexact. This could be addressed by using a whole
