I don’t understand why “Matt” would talk to the press if he truly wanted to keep his deception secret. Because once he gets caught and narc’d on by his employer for obtaining a visa under fraudulent pretenses, with this article as evidence, his travel options are gonna get limited.

ciabattabread··on Coinbase is in deep trouble – and so is the SEC
Hold on a second, I thought the whole point of crypto was having minimal to no government regulations. Now the article’s author wants to blame the SEC for having minimal to no government regulations?
ciabattabread··on TIFU by using Stripe as a payment processor for my small business
From elsewhere in this page:

> I used Stripe for about a year to run a small cell phone store in Denver, CO area. [1]

> We sold a cheap van in the company name. [2]

Yeah, that explains how they arrived in Stripe jail.

ciabattabread··on Attorney General Bonta Releases Name, DOB, and Address of CCW Holders
Is this one of those situations where it's conceptually a public record in that it's always been available via a filing cabinet at a public library, but when placed on the global internet, it causes problems?
ciabattabread··on Whitby residents vote in favour of ending second home ownership
As someone who has little to no understanding of how UK laws work, what is the enforcement mechanism for this? A person can’t own two homes in Whitby? Or a person can’t own a home in London and Whitby?

> The results of the vote, which saw just under a 23% turnout, do not carry any legal weight

Wait, all they did was conduct an official opinion poll?

ciabattabread··on Amazon investors nuke ethics overhaul and say yes to $212M CEO pay
So… you want the government to interfere with the operation of private companies so they are forced to give a platform to people they don’t want to do business with…

Last I checked, political beliefs are not a protected class.

ciabattabread··on Amazon investors nuke ethics overhaul and say yes to $212M CEO pay
What aspect of “private company” do you not understand? No shit they have the power to censor on the platforms they control.
ciabattabread··on Amazon investors nuke ethics overhaul and say yes to $212M CEO pay
Does this strategy of shaming the corporation who wants a nice big government contract instead of, you know, petitioning your federally elected representatives, actually work?
ciabattabread··on Ex-eBay exec pleads guilty to harassing Ina and David Steiner
The same ones that work at Salesforce. [1]

(The former CEO was either blind to the activities of his direct reports, condoned their actions, or actively participated in criminal behavior. All are disqualifying offenses.)

ciabattabread··on Ask HN: Who decided copy+paste should copy styling/formatting?
It’s threads like this that remind me that this website is a niche website.

Computing today is meant for the general public. Remember WYSIWYG? Same principles apply here.

ciabattabread··on I'm a scam prevention expert and I got scammed

So how did France end up being a giant producer of nuclear energy?
ciabattabread··on Chicago’s “Race-Neutral” Traffic Cameras Ticket Black and Latino Drivers Most
This I feel is the core of the issue:

> Residential density is another factor. Denser neighborhoods have more cars, more traffic and more pedestrians, all factors that cause motorists to intuitively slow down, experts said.

> And in Chicago, which has seen an exodus of Black residents in recent decades, Black neighborhoods are far less dense than their white counterparts.

So the ticketing distribution is indicative of a larger structural problem. And of course, the quick and easy solution focuses on ticket fines, not, you know, actually investing in neighborhoods.

ciabattabread··on Nothing like this will be built again (2002)
But somebody has to maintain all those nuclear missiles and nuclear subs.
