I’m curious what that would practically look like in Python.

I bet this would be a good use of vibe coding. Experiment with what-ifs. I can imagine being able to “show not tell” and reduce the signal-to-noise of comment opinions.

The distinction between civil vs. criminal was the core of my comment. Sure they can be sued. But what exactly would they be prosecuted for?

The customers surely have standing to sue Binance. But to close the gap between what you feel should happen and what could actually happen… exactly what crime could they be prosecuted for?

The complete opposite is the generally held perspective among engineers where I work. It’s the management that think they’re not going to crater.

Knowing modern medicine, it's quite possible for either case to be true. The test could be biased and the guidelines are misleading or useless for different demographics (I think any demographc that isn't upper class white male have at least one story to tell about this). Or that a population of people could quite generally benefit from more vitamin D.

I think it would be somewhat unsurprising if we find that genes that evolved for one climate are not ideal when migrated to another climate. Especially when we live much longer lives and these kinds of issues are much more relevant to our expected quality of life (ie. how would you know you're vitamin D deficient when you're a peasant who is everything deficient?) Which is all me just saying, I wouldn't be surprised if vitamin D deficiency, which is directly related to sunlight exposure, is a prevalant issue now that humans migrate so much more freely than ever before.

I've marvelled about this at times. This huge list of vitamins the body cannot formulate itself, but is fully designed to make good use of... but also doesn't just immediately crash and go offline if they're lacking. And how the body can hold onto these molecules/atoms for re-use over years and years.

I need the company to have skin in the game, so I prefer that I am entirely unreachable outside M-F 9-5. Otherwise they just exploit people who submit far too quickly to being on-call 24/7. It also gives me motivation to make my stuff work as best as possible so that I'm not being annoyed by management about my non-existence outside core hours.

But I really do need the company to have a competent plan for handling issues that isn't just, "call the developer." It's amazing how much it makes them care about proper support and testing when the alternative isn't exploiting a developer, but is a customer outage.

I don't disagree, but the way you say that makes my eye twitch uncontrollably. So many of us have spent the better part of those 17 years trying to get the crypto proponents to have a real discussion about it.

Yeah, that's definitely an argument. But it's kind of funny when the backdrop is that $6B was taken by North Korea.

It feels like a sibling to the popular attitudes towards not trusting big banks, or voting for <candidate> who demonstrably achieves the opposite of what you're seeking, or feeling that democracy ain't working out great, or that vaccines are scary and dangerous. There's just a fundamental lack of higher-order thinking. It's all vibe-based reasoning. What feels scary is what guides these behaviours. Which, I think, is why it's so unsurprising that people in these camps make such unbelievably strong candidates for exploitation.

By definition maybe they’re more risk tolerant. But I’m not sure they consciously identify as that.

I’m not sure there’s anything that evokes a more discordant set of emotions in me than an optimistic cancer fighter. I feel fear, frustration, hope, joy, confusion, anger…

When I was a teen I watched my mom battle cancer to a draw. Only in my late 30s did the repressed memories start returning. I got to remember her voice again, but I also got to remember the rest. And now my only plan is to just not get cancer, because it’s all far too much to even think about.

I don’t pity Craig, I envy him. I’m jealous, even. Because he’s discovered or was always imbued with the power to fight an unfair battle on his terms. If it’s ever my turn I hope I can be like him.

Meanwhile monitors and I’m sure many TVs specifically have a policy of up to X dead pixels not counting as defective for the sake of returns.

I don’t have anything more to add to this discussion but I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate you taking the time to share this. I enjoyed reading your perspective and I’ve got a few notes here I want to go study a bit. You took a fairly thin thought I had and gave it depth, which I can consider more fully.
