Well, consider that the speed of light itself is pretty slow, relative to what people's perception of the speed of light is. Even if you had a spaceship traveling at 99.99%, it'd take a surprisingly long time even to reach the Oort cloud.
A month or so for you. Enough time to catch up on a few favorite shows and finish a few books. Now if anyone is waiting for you on earth, they will wait considerably longer
Actually - to reach the start of the Oort Cloud from Earth it'd take around 4 hours. That's 2000 AU. The observer on Earth will see it as about 12 days. This is assuming 99.99% of the speed of light which is completely unrealistic of course.
Ah I went by the outer edge of Oort Cloud (heck the thing is as thick as our solar system). So 100k AU at 0.99c and got a something on the order of months. We'd also have to accelerate and slow down so this means only if we fly right by earth and then keep going past the destination. If we go by 0.9999c then we're 10x faster and get there in a few days.
The hypothetical Oort Cloud is not a good way to describe a boundary or destination. We only know of circumstancial evidence for it. There have been no direct observations. We believe that it is extraordinarily sparse. Therefore, its beginning and end would be poorly defined.
Can you explain why a normal linux user would want to use Omarchy and take your course? I haven't installed Omarchy yet but what are the benefits to this significant investment of time. Thank you for putting the course out there free.
It was his kids running a Mineserver Kickstarter. If you fund a bunch of kids on Kickstarter never seeing a finished project are very high. Cringely and his kids obviously made a good faith effort.
I am surprised at how many I have funded and have made it across the finish line.
But similar to the mineserver, I lost $65 on this thing as it went quiet in 2020. It seemed like they were moving forwards but a few dud manufacturing runs combined with Covid problems just meant the whole project just folded. But I have had like a 90% success ratio so I will take the occasional loss. I am still amazed I got my Ouya!
Surely if plants are absorbing more CO2 than we thought, that's a good thing for climate change? (More CO2 absorbed by plants -> less CO2 staying in the atmosphere -> less warming. No?)
Most emitted CO2 also remains in the carbon cycle.
What matters is accumulation at a particular point in the cycle because CO₂ is added to the atmosphere faster than it is removed. If it is removed faster then it ceases to be a problem.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.
It seems to me the first and last line don't really add anything and I don't see why the middle sentence is necessarily true.
I don't understand this reasoning. How does the presence of a single recent post on HN say anything about if the errors go in one direction or in both directions?
The errors on direct influences to warming have been overwhelming on the "too optimistic" direction. We are above the most pessimistic predictions from decades ago.
The errors on consequences of the warming... I'm not sure one can even talk about them without citing specific studies, because those things tend to have undefined timeframes and way into the future contexts (like this 4°C one... is this even possible to achieve by burning fossil fuels?)
Given the number of ultrarich and powerful people that already hate the Hindenberg folks... my guess would be that there is some calculus here about the incoming U.S. presidential administration's enmity towards whistleblowers and their prior statements about changing libel laws in the U.S.
Starting next week, it's open season on suckers. It's going to be like the glory days of the Tel Aviv binary options scammers, who at one time were 40% of the Israeli finance sector and had good political connections.[1] Crypto deregulation is coming. No more CFPB enforcement! No more SEC enforcement!
There are still people who haven't lost money in crypto yet who can be targeted.
They're all little people. No one will help them.
Just pay off some influencers and start up your scam.[2]
>It's going to be like the glory days of the Tel Aviv binary options scammers, who at one time were 40% of the Israeli finance sector and had good political connections.
When I started at Goldman Sachs 25 years ago, I was told early on of an "Israeli discount" and "Canadian discount"; that is, investors were more skeptical of companies based in those countries.
I was not told of any more details than that at the time, but I now wonder if what you said is the cause?
Musk famously hates short sellers, the Trump Social CEO has done the "blame the short sellers" bit, Eric Trump is hyping crypto coins, Trump himself is eager to take credit whenever the market goes up... I think it's almost guaranteed that they'll target short sellers specifically at some point. They're a easy target to blame, and divert attention from the the fact that they are actually fleecing investors right at this moment.
Hindenburg exposes hucksters and frauds. Hucksters and frauds have now taken over the highest office. He just sees the writing on the wall and needs to get out now.
There is a very fine line between investigative journalism and market manipulation. They treaded it pretty carefully so far, but were bound to slip up sooner or later. Especially now that they are prominent enough that HFT bots are instantly shorting every company they mention in new posts. Quitting while they are ahead is a good move.
Off the top of my head the reporting about Block - CashApp was disgraceful and Hindenburg got sued for it. Not sure how that's going to play out with disbanding the "company."
I don't think Hindenburg is scared of being sued, otherwise they wouldn't have been in the business in the first place. Their investigations are extremely thorough, with everything fully documented, mostly from public records, for the specific purpose that if/when they show up in court, they can be confident of the basis of their findings.
P.S. where did you see Block suing Hindenburg? The closest thing I can find is 'Block said it intended to “explore legal action” against Hindenburg, who sought to “deceive and confuse” Block investors to “profit from a declined stock price.”' which is just PR speak
>I don't think Hindenburg is scared of being sued, otherwise they wouldn't have been in the business in the first place
They should be. If doesn't matter how well everything is documented or how above-board the company is when the courts turn into kangaroo courts for a thoroughly corrupt administration. They're right to get out now while they still can.
No, Nate is not afraid of being sued, he is afraid of being indicted for fraud. The difference being that you just pay your way out of lawsuits, but indictments are a bit more serious
The court finds them guilty of violating which laws, exactly?
Sorry I really don't get what you are trying to say. In order to lose in court, you need to first find a law where Hindenburg could be breaking. But I don't see that happening, especially as it's almost impossible for them to be found guilty of defamation due to the First Amendment.
> the committee confirmed previously stated findings that there was "no evidence of fraud or misconduct on the part of management or the board of directors."
After the external auditors resigned saying that the financials couldn't be trusted the fact that an internal report run from the board of the directors clears them mightn't be as generally reassuring as you seem to find it.
They're complaining because they run human written sites but they've been deranked because Google can no longer tell human content from AI. Google is now privileging sites like Forbes, USA Today and Reddit. Google wants to rank their sites but it can't distinguish their content from the ocean of AI content. They have a legitimate gripe, that Google is no longer favoring niche content sites.
What sort of “mobile tracking info” do you have in mind, and where could you obtain this information for an individual? Maybe (maybe!) you can get their physical location with the right access to certain ISP datasets, but the website info? Is that something that is available for sale on an individual basis?
The article states that the trader obtained his information by hacking into poorly secured corporate email accounts and configuring auto-forwarding rules to send himself copies of incoming emails. Specifically, he triggered password reset flows with “security questions” and data mined open sources for metadata like family names which helped him guess the answers to the security questions. So overall, it wasn’t a very sophisticated hack, and certainly seems more straight forward than “getting the mobile tracking info of M&A bankers.”
In the US, there are commercial companies selling this data. Probably not associated with a name, but you could buy the data (I think they sell the whole dataset for a relatively affordable price), figure out who is a M&A lawyer by checking which IDs show up at their headquarters + some other relevant location, then track them from there going forward.
The data is likely collected from ad and analytics SDKs in various unrelated apps, so you just need the lawyer to be using one of these apps.
Journalists have demonstrated that the data is good enough to identify and track e.g. intelligence service employees.
The negative of that is quite interesting. Take SEC web server logs and look for invest firm subnet addresses. Firms not appearing in those logs do 1.5% worse.
Interestingly some M&A banks keep (or used to, at least) discreet residential addresses where the crucial meetings between senior people can take place over dinner rather than them being obviously seen to meet at the banks or their own offices.
If you are going to make a video about how comedy works you have to begin it with a joke and then use your theory to explain that joke. I don't want to hear your theory unless you give me something to think about first.
