You might/should rotate the leaf keys regularly, but root keys are a massive pain to rotate (when you change a root key, you need to reprovision the corresponding cert onto every machine, as they're the root of trust for your PKI). You can buy a new HSM every 3 years to rotate those root keys, which fits fairly well into most organisation's decommissioning cycles.

> The PARACHUTE trial satirically highlights some of the limitations of randomized controlled trials. Nevertheless, we believe that such trials remain the gold standard for the evaluation of most new treatments. The PARACHUTE trial does suggest, however, that their accurate interpretation requires more than a cursory reading of the abstract. Rather, interpretation requires a complete and critical appraisal of the study.

I love this paper. Whenever you see pop news articles saying "Study shows X is good/bad for you," if you dig in to the paper, it's often something like this. When you read the specific details, you realize the study doesn't generalize to "You should/shouldn't do X." But not enough people read the details, so it gets circulated into conventional wisdom :(
The trick to sanding up on your heel edge is to throw one hand out in front of you for balance, and "walk" your other hand closer to the board as you stand up, keeping some weight on it as you go.

The SIPC insures and protects consumers, not the brokerage/investment bank itself. So if the funds are deposited by the customer in order to buy securities on behalf of the customer, then it's protected. If the funds are deposited by the customer in order to pay out interest, and the only one with the intention of investing that money into securities is the brokerage itself, then it's not protected.

How the hell did this product get launched?
I think that's a pretty broad definition that wouldn't find much support. I think the words you used later, "critical thinking" or lack thereof, are much more apt.
I never said users don't install software, I said they don't install OS's. Of course users install software, you can't keep them from installing nearly every weird thing they come across online, that's why a quarter of the machines running desktop Windows are part of botnets.

And of course part of the reason people installed Chrome is because Google owns half of the web and they kept popping up messages telling people to install Chrome. (If it was really about installing better software, we would see Firefox dominance: even privacy and openness etc. aside, Firefox has been an objectively better browser than Chrom{e|ium} since at least version 56.)
Because two stylesheets base.css and mytweaks.css might not load in the order you want even if all the rules are scoped? And at that point you're already using something like webpack to enforce the order you want, why not just make JS do it?

It's a bit jaw dropping that they've launched this without talking to the SIPC to check that they agree with the statement that they provide FDIC-like protection on these accounts. I wonder what happened here…
HN is made of humans, and humans project concious and unconscious bias in their actions.

Though perceptions may vary, there certainly is one ideology that can be scientifically proven to exist among HN whales. It may or may not be the one I perceive, but to pretend like HN whales carry no ideological baggage in their voting is inaccurate.

Maybe a poll, or sentiment analysis of the most Up-voted and down-voted comments can reveal this.

Through all of this I can't help but be reminded of the 2008 financial crisis and think "this is not going to end well." One part of that crisis was Icelandic Banks making a huge push for savings all over the UK and other parts of Europe ("IceSave") with the promise of better interest rates. When it all went belly up those savers realized these Icelandic banks were not quite the same thing as UK banks and Iceland refused to make depositors whole.

If Robinhood had offered this as a normal bank with FDIC insurance I would have been impressed. For now it just seems they're just moving a little bit higher up the risk/reward curve and trying to pretend the risk is the same.
Thanks for this detailed post.

Is there a "catch" when Uber rides cost less than the equivalent taxi ride, and in fact cost less money than the ride itself actually costs to provide?

CPython has a stable C API for interacting with the interpreter and Python objects. Presumably FLI goes through this API to interoperate with Python, just like any C/C++ application embedding CPython would.

Ok. Of course there's a sizable group of devs who really don't like the Windows developing experience (part of why Microsoft has been so keen on getting the the subsystem for Linux into place, to lure Linux-centric devs over).

But I think that's largely irrelevant to desktop share. It's not as if the majority of Windows users are developers.

I use two tricks to stand up on my board. I started with the hand out but that wasn't working too well for me because I still couldn't compress my hips. Now on heelside I grab with my front hand in the middle of my board like a mute-grab, then I use that as leverage to pull my hips in close to the board, then I stand up.

Alternatively I go toe-side and stand up super easily because its just like getting up off of your knees if you fell to your knees on the ground. I stand up on my toe-side about 95% of the time now.
That is just one example.

I've worked with Accenture at various companies over the years, they have always had pretty decent teams, now the amount of overhead provided with a contract (delivery lead, delivery manager, client manager) is kind of overkill, but the developers we've brought on from them have been pretty good, but sticklers for scope and SOWs, even though we were paying hourly and not fixed.
Having worked as an actual Fed, I think there is a bit more complication to this.

I know that I and the people around me worked hard to do a good job on our project. I would hire any of those people. I also saw a great deal of the government is run by MVPs built by Feds on their own initiative.

On the other hand, the projects (including ours) I saw to replace those MVPs were largely staffed by incompetent or unfocused contractors, and I believe that is where a huge amount of waste comes in.

These contractors are once removed from even government and the waste results from this Milton Friedman push for privatization of government functions to organizations just trying to log billable hours.

Not sure that leaves a lot of room for speculation - don’t sign up to use Robinhood as a savings account unless you are comfortable doing so without an FDIC level of guaranteed protection.

Open source is not synonymous with free software. The world is evolving and so open source should also evolve with it. Confluent have made it abundantly clear that the Apache Kafka project is and always will be Apache 2 licensed. Therefore that's where you go for your completely free solution. The community license is additional features free for use but not for you to provide as a managed service. Enterprise is something you have to pay for.

There's clear distinction and delineation between these. To an outside observer this might seem confusing and nuanced. In which case use the apache 2 licensed software which should unquestionably be open source and free. But otherwise those building businesses around open source technology have to find a way to protect against cloud providers. Licensing innovation is the only path forward right now until the cloud providers start to philosophically realign themselves back with what open source stood for and stop being bad actors.

Afaik that is still the case — they seem to have stuck with the web version. I used Gravit for a while, but they got bought by Corel and the application has gone from free to $100 for the "fully-featured" version (which given it's basically a beta and is missing what I consider key features, is a bit much).

If they overvalued goodwill and are now restating it, that comes out of their earnings; the overstatement costs them.
It's a brokerage account where you buy US Treasuries but also made liquid via a deal with Mastercard and branded as a chequing account

It's kinda smart - but i'm curious how they settle some of the backend with daily transactions moving in and out - if they're actually making bond purchases/sales with each transaction, for each customer each day, or for all customers each day etc.

edit: fwiw I think the entire premise of these new products and 3% paid (way over what treasury bonds pay) is as a loss leader to the gambling that is a lot of the "investing" done by Robinhood users. Must be temping to buy some Tesla options once you have a chequing account in the same app.

edit 2: their fine print:

> Robinhood Checking and Savings is an added feature to existing Robinhood accounts and is not a separate account or a bank account.

so they're saying they might market it as a bank account, but it isn't

Ok, so you turn the argument around and say, "Fine, but their beloved software only works on Fedora. So what then?"

Instead of having files that apply styles globally to your application, the styles live down in files or data structures as close as possible to the component it applies to, where it belongs.
Presumably they structure it as an investment fund and not a bank account? I think "what am I missing?" is the whole point really: this thing doesn't fit within existing regulatory structures. It likely wouldn't qualify for FDIC insurance either.

The question then becomes whether this is a good kind of move-fast-and-break-things a la early Uber breaking into an over-regulated market, or if it's defeating an important protection that consumers need.

consumer securities purchases protected by sipc

robinhood bank checking format:

deposit: money -> account -> robinhood backend securities purchased

withdrawal: robinhood backend securities sold -> account -> money

Is this the argument made by robinhood? Perhaps if that is laid out clearly in contract, i.e. robinhood is granted agent status to purchase and sale securities on behalf of consumer
I think that's actually a very resilient model--one that consistently reinforces a cycle of the oligarchs getting murdered or otherwise ruined, and all their stuff taken by someone even more ruthless. Occasionally, the cycle is delayed by distributing the property more evenly among a larger group of people, or by establishing a cooperative security apparatus among the oligarchs.

But it does appear to be stable, in that there is always an upper-class and a lower-class, even if the faces of the upper-class get swapped out on a semi-regular basis.

The model where there is just one, "middle" class of people in society, where everyone has equal rights and protections under the law--that is the one that doesn't seem very resilient. We only just tried it in the US, starting in the 1960s, and it's already reverting to upper class over lower class.
I was saying there is no behavior which can be disconnected from either genes or environment. Why do you dismiss that as mere pedantry?
No, this has no effect on Kafka, which is part of the ASF and under the Apache 2.0 license. This just impacts things like KSQL that are part of Confluent Platform.

VC money being burnt, yes. The true cost is additionally being offloaded to the drivers - taxi fares factor in things like insurance, wear and tear, etc, which Uber fares do not.
Interesting. Been skiing since I was 3 (so my father tells me), and learnt to snowboard 20 years ago when I was 30. I went into a shop in the Austrian Alps (St. Johann am Pongau), hired a board and boots, found myself an instructor and had an hours' 1:1 lesson. Never had another instructor since but got to teach three people to 'board on Mount Baker, WA.

But for about 2 years now I've been wondering what I don't yet know that an instructor night teach me. So I'm going to get me an instructor when I next go in Jan.
CSS in JS turned into a nightmare in our project once we decided to make it fast. CSS in JS usually do next things for each component mount:

1) Parse CSS

2) Hash styles object

3) Serizlize and auto-prefix CSS back (or just write to StyleSheets API)

That is actually a nightmare for performance. You can say that you can export static styles via babel and everything will be fast again (since 90% of your styles are static), but styled-components, glamorous, emotion and friends all ditched static styles exporting feature.

On the other side we thought that composing styles is a good thing, but it turns out to a complete mess where you have 100s of style overrides across the code instead of building a small component with appropriate API.

On the last side i personally came from mobile world. Most of mobile (native) devs tried to build their own "css" or manage styles in some "special" way that it used to be (constants in some static class). It turns out it adds almost zero profits and too much of maintenance. They are not helping you to simplify things if you wish to change something "everywhere" beside very simple things (dividers, borders, backgrounds, tint color) and everything is just became useless. Building real components is much much better.

Well, considering all this we have only one (!) CSS in JS library that satisfy this requirement: https://github.com/jsxstyle/jsxstyle

It is fast, performant and completely static if it possible but it is not "fancy" in frontend community. As usual in frontend there are not much sense everywhere and popular libraries are usually a complete crap if you really value your users.
Probably because someone took "ask for forgiveness, not permission" a bit too far.
Why not just use Affero GNU General Public License v3 for these? It seems like a lot of you guys are using ASL 2.0 (a permissive license) and getting upset when people fork and proprietarize the code for their services and solutions.

Aside from MongoDB, who seems to be changing the license simply to kill off MongoDB's vendor ecosystem to benefit itself, everyone else seems to be using ASL 2.0 and then regretting the natural consequences of doing so.

The usage of the AGPLv3 license seems to be enough to ward off large SaaS competitors (Amazon and Google stay away from areas that are heavily AGPLv3 or similar).

They think their judgement is better than people they disagree with. Therefore someone should exercise paternalistic control over those they disagree with, so those wrong people will stop disagreeing with their obviously-right opinions so darn much.

They also don't foresee the resentment this will generate among the scolded and/or think they can contain that resentment. Which tells me their judgement was actually untrustworthy all along, and regardless of the advisability of censorship they should not be allowed to wield it.
