haasted··on How did South Korea become such a world power?
That headline desperately needs the word "cultural" somewhere in it.
haasted··on SEC charges Kim Kardashian for unlawfully touting crypto security
The barrier-to-entry for listing on a stock exchange is rather a lot higher than it is for creating a crypto token.

Slate has some background on this story from a year ago: https://slate.com/technology/2021/10/ben-mckenzie-crypto-cel...

haasted··on SEC charges Kim Kardashian for unlawfully touting crypto security
A completely unrelated observation, but some countries actually fine based on a person's net worth.

Here is an example from Finland where someone received a 54.000 Euro speeding ticket: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-31709454

haasted··on Hacktoberfest 2022
They have a "Measures to reduce spam" section outlining that : https://hacktoberfest.com/participation/#spam

Also seems that projects must now opt-in by labelling themselves with "hacktoberfest-accepted”.

haasted··on Ask HN: What is the coding exercise you use to explore a new language?
One approach would be picking a problem from a list of code katas, eg. http://codekata.com/

haasted··on LinkedIn Viral Post Generator
This is actually less cringe than some of the stuff that appeared in my LinkedIn-feed today.
haasted··on Gojq: Pure Go Implementation of Jq
I bet it's an artifact of Go having a randomized iteration order over maps [0]. Getting a deterministic ordering requires extra work.

haasted··on John Carmack's new AGI company, Keen Technologies, has raised a $20M round
"AGI"?
haasted··on Embracer enters into agreement to acquire The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit IP
Animal Crossing in the Shire.
haasted··on Helium
Uber is listed on NYSE, so there's plenty of opportunity for retail to get in on the action.
haasted··on Helium
> Roose could have rapidly found enough information to cast doubt on Helium's sustainability.

Couldn't a similar accusation be levied against a lot of other hyper-growth startups, eg Uber? They were heavily subsidizing rides to grow and might not actually have a workable model if the subsidies are removed.

haasted··on Show HN: Killer Crossword - A crossword puzzle variation with no clues
A bit late to the discussion, but I think the game shows promise and could perhaps end up being a commute-distraction for me in daily life.

I think you should consider taking a page out of the book of Wordle and threemagicwords.app and at least mark correctly placed letters, even though the entire word is not yet correct. That would provide some kind of incremental progress, eg in the situation where I'm trying to guess "*ea*", which has the possibility of being tear, fear, teat, rear, read, lead, mead etc etc. As long as a correct dictionary word is provided, the user should receive some kind of reward.

haasted··on My Poor Experience With Azure (or why I'm sticking with AWS)
Could imagine that Minecraft servers are very good candidates for later upgrades.
haasted··on ISO name change for Türkiye
An absolute carnage!!
haasted··on Childhood antibiotics as a risk factor for Crohn's disease: Cohort study
Do you have an introduction to it? ie something that covers which food groups are most likely to be the culprit, what kind of grouping to make etc?
haasted··on Billion-record stolen Chinese database for sale on breach forum
Binance is the largest cryptocurrency trading platform globally.

According to this tweet [0] they have a "threat intelligence" department that continually monitors for potential issues. It makes sense that they would be on the lookout for leaks of this nature, as they are highly dependent on correctly verifying and identifying their customers.

haasted··on Bitcoin Falls Below $20k for the First Time Since 2020
Coingecko.com and coinmarketcap.com show aggregated prices from the larger market.
haasted··on Major crypto lender Celsius freezes withdrawals as markets tumble
Seems they're trying to deposit more BTC into the contract to push down the liquidation price:

https://nitter.net/DU09BTC/status/1536353233156902914#m

Seems to have managed to push it to 18k. Quite the gamble.

haasted··on Do Kwon in more trouble
According to this article, Galaxy came out of the whole thing with a pretty nice surplus.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/29/who-got-rich-before-terra-st...

> In its Q1 earnings filing, Galaxy noted that the largest contributor to its net realized gain on digital assets of $355 million was sales of luna.

How has MIR fared since the crash?
haasted··on Dark Moon: The Inevitable Collapse of Luna
One Twitter user has been very vocal about his (seemingly) successful shorts of the ecosystem:

haasted··on Tether Withdrawals Top $10B
Anchor protocol[0], which was most likely a large contributor to the collapse, was a lending application. Would have been easy to get a large chunk of UST from that. Not sure how your collateral would fare in the current situation, though.

haasted··on The cryptocurrency sell-off has exposed those swimming naked
There was significant and critical discussion about that yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31431224
haasted··on Another stablecoin loses peg – DEI team working to restore the peg
Sounds a lot like the same mechanism that undid the Iron Finance stablecoin [0]:

> One IRON token is always redeemable for $1 worth of collateral, which on IRON is a mixture of TITAN and the Circle and Coinbase-created stablecoin USDC.

haasted··on Luna Founder Requests Police Protection as Investors Are Visiting His House
In addition to that, incredible amounts of Luna tokens have been printed as part of the "stabilization" algorithm. The supply went from around 700M tokens to nearly 7 trillion in a few days.
