Wow that’s intense. I remember hearing someone complain on HN of their site getting blocked because it shared an IP with an illegal soccer livestream. I can’t imagine they’re doing this to IP blocks owned by CDNs like Fastly, CloudFlare, or

Seems like n=11 should have been n=1. Use 19, 21, and 1 as a numerator of /41 and you end up with all the same percentages written in the abstract. A typo that should have been caught, but surely nothing more than that and certainly no

Learning something old can be surprising. Enjoying that learning can be delightful. Seems like the author is both surprised and delighted with an optimization they learned of today. Surely you’ve been in the same situation before.

The lack of comparable regulation isn’t a good argument for (or against) regulation. All regulation was born at some point. It’s not all-or-nothing. You example about trading equities (gifting? sharing?) is wrong. You owe tax on trading you

Where’s the threat? Be specific.

by nebezb 11mo ago
For those of us who aren’t seeing the threat as clearly as you are, are you possibly misinterpreting things? I don’t interpret “an upstream change would make this project impossible to maintain” as a “threat”.

People have been buying fake carbon credits for a long time. There’s very little incentive to validate the authenticity of the credit/offset. The press release is usually all the value they’re looking for. I’ve only just now heard of s

> Passport or ID card scans would never be be stored alongside general KYB information How do you qualify this statement? Did you mean “should never”? Even then, you’re likely overstating things. Nothing prevents co-locating KYC/KYB

I’m certainly not informed enough to have an intelligent conversation about this, but surely the emotions bit can’t be right? My emotions are definitely a function of the chemical soup my brain is sitting in (or the opposite).

Cool project! One suggestion: your “open now” toggle is confusing. I can’t tell what state it’s in without relying on inspecting one of the aggregates decreasing from 7 to 6. Use a non-color visual indicator (icons or words).

It’s not magic. It’s called natural sort and it doesn’t require gobs of memory. Most (all?) modern OS file managers will natural sort on file names.

You’re describing insurance on the merchants side. The post I was referring to described insurance on the consumer side.
