Okay, so you are 50ly away from earth. There are only two possible scenarios here 1. You and "your guys" have low delay comms to home which means you have network sync and so everything is dandy 2. You and your guys have delayed c

You do have to delegate work in audit as well as in the other professional services disciplines. Nobody will contest that. What makes audit stand out though is that legislators require and enforce accountabilities (as the wirecard story cle

That is not correct. Audit is very regulated inside big auditing companies and the processes and evidence requirements are almost always part of an internal auditing framework that is designed by very senior staff. Shure a lot of the leg wo

Correct and that is why they should be made accountable for this. I'm with gp that this particular ban is a bit harsh but nonetheless it is the state determining accountabilities and it seems to have been a thorough investigation. OTOH

Not if you look at Audit (which is what the EY story is about). In Audit you have legislature requiring accountability structures and typically there will be one or more persons in an audit that are personally accountable about the attestat

Funnily I agree with these points. But I think they go a bit overboard with regards my initial comment. Ownership does not imply security of the underlying object, digital or physical. Point in case, I owned my car when it was torched by an

This is dependent on what the NFT actually gives access to or is linked to. 90% of NFTs probably are just ownership certificates of JPGs so if that is what you want to "view" then the answer probably is "a JPG". Other NF

Most decentralized PoS chains (Cardano, Tezos, maybe Algorand) seem to fit the "safe + low cost banking" question. Well maintained Stables are your "safe hedges". Warning, most stablecoins one would think of are not well

Well, if you scam people on crypto you are committing as much the crime of scamming as you are when you scam people IRL so I fail to see a distinction here.

Only if you ever believed this guy to be your savior. If anybody thinks that spending their money on a thing that will give them a "stable yearly APY of 100+" is an investment they are worth being scammed.

I think there are two issues at play in the current NFT space, both exacerbated by the get-rich-quick potential of NFTs 1. NFTs as ownership standards are not there yet. Even on ETH, there are significant compatibility issues between NFT mi

I think I know what you are trying to say, but there night be an issue with your metaphor. The whole point of an NFT is that you don't have to take it with you as you owning it is chain state.

16G ram could be cutting it close in a lot of back end Dev workloads... How come there are no bigger options?

The title is misleading, they haven't retired anything and won't for a long time. > Codebases written in contained tech stacks can continue to exist and have features added to them Phasing out might be a better term.

I think the original point wasn't about it being uncommon but about it being a significantly problematic rule.

Genuine question, how does one get over the 30k token limit in a gpt4 request in such cases? From my personal experience, it seems while today we can create PoCs of GPT4 doing a white colar job replacement, when you then try to actually pro

What HN reader would actually suggest "don't connect it to the Internet" as a viable solution? In almost all cases it just leads to the TV nagging you after a while. So unless one considers frustration and not being able to u

Agreed. When I was using Apple laptops as daily drivers I always got the questions why I was replacing the OS with Linux. Fact of the matter was that (at least for me) it was a much stabler environment to work with, less crashing, less unex

I don't think pushing a good engineer to also take on management work is such a bad idea. I've actually had quite a lot of success with that system. The much worse idea is to promote BAD engineers to full time management positions

That's not completely correct. The review world is roughly splittable in two broad categories, the "expert person" variant (think fro-knows-photo) and marketplace reviews (the reviews you can find on amazon, etc). Marketplace
