Is there a somewhat longer (maybe illustrated) example of this principle somewhere? You've captured my interest and I want to read more

Ubiquiti is publicly traded and operates in many states with privacy laws. I wonder if the SEC or states' AGs will get involved

> Hwang and his private investment firm, Archegos Capital Management, are now at the center of one of the biggest margin calls of all time -- a multibillion-dollar fiasco involving secretive market bets that were dangerously leveraged and unwound in a blink.

> One part of Hwang’s portfolio, which has been traded in blocks since Friday by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo & Co., was worth almost $40 billion last week. Bankers reckon that Archegos’s net capital -- essentially Hwang’s wealth -- had reached north of $10 billion. And as disposals keep emerging, estimates of his firm’s total positions keep climbing: tens of billions, $50 billion, even more than $100 billion.

> It evaporated in mere days.

This is the primary gist of the article. The future will tell

Sublime Text has never crashed on me (or been slow) and that's why I use it as my primary tool. VSCode is still slow for me, last I checked.

The same thing happened on the other relevant post about an hour ago. Here was my recent comment on that one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26642757

I'm surprised by the number of comments here purporting to call this information fake, or attempting to redirect the blame toward the US. This has been well documented by multiple sources for nearly two years. The world has many problems but genocide is decidedly one of the worst.

Compromising a third-party to inject code into your public & private repositories is going to be a future supply-chain compromise similar to Solarwinds

My best guess is they slowly become less valuable until IBM buys them for the name recognition

Okay? If I got stiffed by a business, I wouldn't want to work with them again either

The article only has limited details, which are near the bottom of the article:

> The company said that its research found vulnerabilities that affect symmetric encryption ciphers, including the Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES, which is widely used to secure data transmitted over the internet and to encrypt files. Using a method known as quantum annealing, the company said its research found that even the strongest versions of AES encryption may be decipherable by quantum computers that could be available in a few years from now.

> Vinokur said in an interview that Terra Quantum’s team made the discovery after figuring out how to invert what’s called a “hash function,” a mathematical algorithm that converts a message or portion of data into a numerical value. The research will show that “what was once believed unbreakable doesn’t exist anymore,” Vinokur said, adding that the finding “means a thousand other ways can be found soon.”

That's ridiculous to be honest

Weird. Generally the expats I know are the opposite

That one only one of several points the author made. Do you not 'get' the others or are you just confused by this one point?

They're definitely going to need to inspect it for damage, but it does seem odd not to be THAT close

The author knows how to hook you right in the first paragraph:

>> If you’re looking to pick a fight, simply ask your friends, “Is Pluto a planet?” Or “Is a hotdog a sandwich?” Or “How many holes does a straw have?” The first two questions will have them arguing yay or nay, while the third yields claims of two, one and even zero.

Two, one, or zero? Continues reading...

Interesting. Defamation aside, FUD, and 'fraud' claims aside, I hope this gets enough attention that they will actually fix the very real issues voting machines have had for the past decade:

Calling this a Fox News Tax is a stretch, which requires the author to make several connections to publishers, the first of which was the Wall Street Journal. Why not call it the WSJ Tax? Indicates this is a scammy title looking for clicks.

Can Facebook violate any TOS and not get kicked off because of antitrust?

They could justify it to a court, because "Facebook incubated the insurrection" or "Facebook broke our rules" not because "we don't like enabling our competitors".

The planning was largely done on Facebook https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1348619731734028293

Thanks for the image. Do you know if the account was active or unused? I guess that's why Glenn said "were active users" and not "were users".

> The guy in the fur hat was arrested and had a Parler.

I can't find evidence of this. Could you share your evidence?

Greenwald did significant research here and said he found no active users from those arrested:

> However, Friday night one of the top trending tweets on Twitter was “Hang Mike Pence.

This has been going on for 12 years. More evidence that both sides use Twitter for violence:

This page says they "charge" for WhatsApp, at least in 2012. I didn't know that. What were they charging for? To buy the app or something else?

This is a great idea!

Hypothetical: I do wonder how admissible this is as court evidence in a world where DeepFake videos is an open source tool. If it's not on the protester's facebook, couldn't a clever defense attorney just claim the video was altered by the archivist and "there's no way to prove that is the face of the defendant"? I bet it would need to be coupled with other evidence, testimony, etc?

> Could they have asked for, say, the National Guard?

They declined the help, and that of the FBI

None, this post was from November. Not sure why it was posted

How do you suggest the US can do better, if they've let China continue this asymmetric behavior for nearly two decades? If China hasn't been participating in free trade fairly, do you think the US should continue letting that happen for another two decades?

> Renting is generally cheaper than buying

That's not 'generally' true, unless youre cherry picking data or buying expensive houses. If that was true, then landlords wouldn't be renting their property out. The standard landlord advice (from any real estate book) is to charge more for rent than your mortgage costs to cover unexpected repairs. Also, several deductions for tax, maintenance, repairs, insurance, etc exist making it even cheaper. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/top-ten-tax-deductio...

I agree with you that owning a home is expensive and I caution friends from buying a home if they're not sure they want to live there for 5-15 years. The hidden costs are insane. Renting has a mostly stable price without the massive emergency spikes of making roof or foundation repairs.

> Jin also shut down meetings regularly in China on behalf of the Chinese government, and sometimes gave over personal information of Zoom users outside of the country to the government, according to federal prosecutors.

I hope those victims are safe
