CDS don't hide ownership, they're insurance against a bond defaulting. You can use them to short a company's bonds too, which is otherwise extremely difficult as bonds aren't lent like equities.

TRS also aren't really used to hide ownership but to get economic exposure when you can't actually own things for whatever reason. The Archegos collapse was mostly a risk management fault at Credit Suisse unrelated to the means they got that exposure through. Archegos's other prime brokers mostly liquidated their positions with no losses. TRS are transparent to your broker and to regulators

That only helps if your flips are in the low bits though right? And naively I'd expect bit flips to be uniformly distributed through the address bits

Multi User Dungeons were sort of multiplayer roguelikes/interactive fiction. The text-based precursors to MMOs

I tend to understand 'controversial' here as a shorthand for new theories not explaining some observations. There's lots of good evidence for the models that require dark matter and dark energy (which I also understand to be very different), so if you want to propose an alternative model it must do at least as well as those.

My second belief is that popular science articles are not good at explaining nuance, and tend to focus on human factors. Both of these are fine for lay audiences but should probably not be used to judge the health of the scientific process itself

I love that vi lost this part of the propaganda battle versus Emacs, when Emacs has the unintuitive ^C^X exit sequence. Maybe it also had a file menu?

Scuba tanks are usually filled to 200 bar/3000 psi

All the leaky Soyuz spacecraft have returned to earth at this point

I've had this, but the first thing I heard was that my customs charge was sent to collections. Cue lots of scary messaging about debt collection, none of which said anything other than this was for a FedEx parcel of some kind

It means you can't just call open('/dev/tcp/blah') from a program and get a TCP socket though, unfortunately

Such a good book, though ultimately not that much about surveillance?

You can have open source without open contributions, eg NetHack and (I think) Sqlite

While I don't disagree that these models seem to contain the ability to recreate copyrighted text, I don't think your conclusion holds. How well does zstd compress Harry Potter with a dictionary based on English prose? I think you'll get some impressive ratios, and I also think there's nothing infringing in this case.

There's a hard physical limit (speed of light) on latency that we can't do anything about. Higher bandwidth deep space communication gives us the ability to recover more science data from robotic missions, so it's worth working on.

I'd guess it's the same thing that makes any niche language difficult to use for real: developer education, tooling and lack of third party libraries. Mainstream languages tend to have these three things in spades, and the language itself is good enough.

So you don't get shot down by your own air defense

I think the idea was that they could demonstrate and develop vertical landing technology while selling the vehicle (tourism and some freefall science experiments). I think they've done two or three tourist flights using it, and maybe a couple more science flights. They lost the booster a year or so ago and have been making sure they fix the problems since.

In practice, SpaceX's approach of starting with an orbital rocket and adding reuse worked a lot better, given they started later.

Blue Origin have a (significantly less capable) reusable suborbital rocket, and Rocket Lab have reflown an engine.

It's worth noting that the Falcon 9 only reuses the first stage and payload fairings, with the second stage expended. I believe SpaceX's Starship is the only fully reusable rocket in realistic development

Net legal migration was 672 000 people[0] whereas illegal migration was 45 000, 83% of which were small boats.[1]

Note that pass by design leaks both the websites you have set up and the metadata of the history of each record. This might suit your threat model, or it might not.

They have exactly that: you can set up a periodic encrypted backup under settings > chats. It'll occasionally ask you for your backup password so you don't forget it too

As I understand it, mods are mostly annoyed because they've been using the API to compensate for features lacking in their official mod tools. Making the API cost money means the unofficial mod tools cost money, and hiding NSFW content in the API means they can't moderate (or remove) that content though those tools.

I think the blackouts have got wider support because users are also annoyed about losing the 3rd party app experience they know & love (and I speak as one of those users).

It feels like Reddit could have provided a few compromises here: improving mod tools before the API changes, opting moderators out of API charges and NSFW restrictions and providing a reasonably-priced per-account subscription allowing API access (so us old farts could keep the experience we know and love, at a reasonable price for Reddit) would all be welcome.

I think the submission URL should be changed to the Guardian article this (almost immediately) links to: https://www.theguardian.com/law/2023/may/11/abu-zubaydah-dra...

As far as I can see there's no additional information in the Canary article

I think the intent of folks in this situation is not to look for targets for career destruction, but help prevent new people from being exposed to harm. In that context, a more accessible record of public figures' harmful acts seems like a net positive

Seems I've misremembered the stat: it's around 1 million.

This article is from 2019: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/apr/22/britons-withou...

What I'm hoping comes out of this is some backstop for the ~4 million Brits with no bank account in our increasingly cashless society.

What I'm worrying will come out of this is pound-on-blockchain with no real effort to serve the currently-unbanked.

Also worth pointing out that the Pound (like every major fiat currency) is already digital: my bank account is stored in a computer, my payments are all electronic. Sure we still have paper notes but banks aren't backing their deposits with a big stack of those in a vault anywhere.
