This is the most compelling "who is Satoshi?" post I've found:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=628344.msg48198887#m...

"I contend that James Simons put the team together that made up Satoshi Nakamoto and that Nick Szabo was the main public-facing voice behind the nym."


Why would he do that surreptitiously, instead of just being clear that they were working on it? Why wouldn't they cash in the million or so bitcoins that were pre-mined? How did they get the whole team to communicate in a unified style? How did they get everyone to stay quiet after Bitcoin took off?

Same, I tested Claude Code CLI and it crapped out and took my money, and they haven't responded to my billing dispute yet. Meanwhile JetBrains replies within hours and Junie is LLM agnostic. I'm a huge fan of JetBrains for AI coding.

LLM agnostic? I thought they ran their own LLM. Can you use Junie with Claude, but have your payment contact only through JetBrains?

No editorialising in the title


Uh oh did someone CVE grok or twitter?


The schema describes the database layout. The file layout (if you were going to call it that) in a modern RDBMS would describe how the RDBMS implemented a particular database layout as described by the schema.


Easy: this is political retribution.

USAID: 0.6% of the budget CFPB: 0.011% of the budget

It has nothing to do with saving money and is well beyond the executive order than instantiated the agency.

If all they do is disrupt things enough for some crypto dorks and Russians to make a play it was all worth it.


USAID was the most resistant to an audit which is why they’re getting scrutinized early. Trump literally said today on an interview aired before the superbowl that a department of defense audit is coming up and he expects it to turn up billions to hundreds of billions in waste.


What does “resistant” mean here?

It appears that they passed audit just a few months ago:

> Opinion: Williams Adley concluded that USADF’s financial statements as of September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, are presented fairly, in all material respects, and in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

> The audit firm also found no reportable noncompliance with provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements.

> The audit firm found no material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting but found deficiencies in the internal controls over the Funds Held Outside of Treasury process. We collectively identified these deficiencies as a reportable significant deficiency.

It sure looks like retaliation hit job.


There's no way that USAID was more resistant to an audit than DOD.


Why would the DoD be resistant to an audit? They've had un-auditable black budgets for decades and every time someone questions them they pull a new stealth aircraft out of their back pocket


Trump is a liar, he lies about everything. Starting a sentence with “trump said” implies that any concurrence with reality is purely coincidental.


Wrestling


Given the fact that there are so many Musk apologists and "anti-woke" crusaders in the HN community, most notably Paul Graham, they probably won't do it.

HN has a pretty "IBM During Nazi Germany" vibe.


Don't forget all the zombie drones who attacked the capitol on his behalf


This pardon is corrupt. Ross' parents donated to Trump and he pardoned their son as a favour.

Whether or not you think he deserved the prison time, the problem here is how utterly brazen Trump is in accepting bribes.


Trump doesn’t care about Ross’ parents or their donations much.

What he did care about were libertarian votes. There was a deal that libertarians will support Trump if he promises to free Ross. This is on record, you can find it.


So, I’m seeing politician followed through on promise to voters. I’m sure this can swing to some orange man bad, I’m just not seeing it.
