skullone··on SBF Arrested by Bahamian Authorities
You'd be surprised. Lots of evidence and some writings on banks in the Babylonian times, with similar concepts dating back well over 2500 years. Obviously much has changed. Oddly, SBF seems to have perpetuated an early form of fraud, "confidence men"

Are you dense? Do you know how money works? Do you know capitalization methods modern banking has been using for nearly 2500 years?

Insure what, exactly? Insure peoples imaginary crypto coins? Insure deposits into a brokerage account? Did FTX sweep brokerage accounts into a valid, insurable class? You're missing a ton here, buddy

skullone··on Guido van Rossum: Python and the Future of Programming – Lex Fridman Podcast
I think that's a pretty established fact.
skullone··on Security concerns with the e-Tugra certificate authority
Aren't CAs supposed to go through vetting and audits before getting trusted in operating systems and browsers? We even went through a SOC audit just for our own internal CA!
skullone··on Infosys leaked FullAdminAccess AWS keys on PyPI for over a year
About as useful and informative as the output from any Infosys contractor. Did you do that on purpose?
skullone··on Python 3.12.0 is to remove long-deprecated items
Can you detail any of these "small and large breakages" or "bit rot"? It just doesn't jive with my experiences with any large code bases in nearly any language, python included.
skullone··on Python 3.12.0 is to remove long-deprecated items
Yah, nothing the GP says makes any sense. I've been working with large code bases with many languages for many years. None are perfect, but the GP makes no sense, sounds like poor decisions or poor code rather than a poor language.
skullone··on FTX tapped into customer accounts to fund risky bets, setting up its downfall
ftx.us - checked again, at least my account is still unable to withdraw.
skullone··on FTX tapped into customer accounts to fund risky bets, setting up its downfall
I checked my FTX account, only had play money in there. But, despite all the people saying "FTX is fine, withdrawls still work, it's all fine" - nope, everything is disabled, withdrawls show $0.10 avaialble to withdrawl (out of a few hundred I had in actual US cash, plus the BTC and doge transactions are all disabled. This is very serious for many people - there are some who had substantial amounts of money, including my friend who is at the moment suicidal, a lot of his identity and worth was tied up in crypto. Please offer support to those you know who are affected by this scam, and do not encourage or enable anyone else to dablle more than throwaway money into anything crypto

By not using cryptocurrency rather?
skullone··on Micron picks Syracuse for computer chip plant that would bring up to 9k jobs
I doubt gun rights are high on the list when embarking on $100B chip fab builds.
skullone··on Final thoughts on Ubiquiti
I think he had to limit what he said, because he potentially has some liability on what he had reported on in the past. Crazy situation
skullone··on We warned Google that people might believe AI was sentient. Now it’s happening
Ugh... these "AI" researches all sound so insufferable. These are glorified chat bots, people.
skullone··on Grafana releases OnCall open source project
probably keeps history, state, escalation flow, etc?
skullone··on Grafana releases OnCall open source project
That seems like a perfectly reasonable architecture. If only all of us could work on battle tested components like those during our job!
skullone··on Sr Manager at Google Resigns After Dalit Activist Disallowed from Giving Lecture
A senior manager of Google News? Someone would actually claim that distinction, one of Google's worst run properties? Maybe they should have talks from sector experts about improving their products first.
skullone··on Current guidelines for sun exposure are unhealthy and unscientific – research (2019)
Dang, that comment hit hard. True, but hard
skullone··on Linux for Networking Professionals
Very, very, very low. I've never had to ask for refunds until I bought some things from Pakt that were merely repackaged docs from man pages nearly.
skullone··on Show HN: KittenDNS – Easy to setup, rule engine, LetsEncrypt compatible
What condition do you use for determine split horizon? Client IP?
skullone··on In Defence of the Single Page Application
Can I use this space to complain about Confluence? The jarring loading of divs and navbars and content - plaintext content mind you. And we have over 15MB of javascript to display Confluence articles. How did things get so bad? Is it inexperience product owners, product designers? I timed a Confluence load, and it didnt finish grabbing and executing JS for like 17 seconds, which is -insane-
skullone··on Jump Trading sues 79-year-old Carl Sagan fan over wormhole.com domain
Crypto should indeed disappear down a wormhole to get deposited into the trash dimension.
