In general, you don't need to worry about Vanguard or Schwab or whoever provides your particular index fund going bankrupt. The actual assets in the fund don't go anywhere. Whoever buys the remnants of your now-presumably-dead brokerage would probably just carry on maintaining the fund, or it would cash you out if it didn't want to continue to run the fund.

On the brokerage side, SIPC insures securities in much the same way FDIC insures deposits, but the amount insured is significantly higher, though I don't know it off the top of my head. And beyond that, regulations require brokerages to hold client assets separately from the broker's assets, and this is audited. So for the most part, SIPC is mainly overseeing the transfer of securities from a dying brokerage to somewhere else.

So, for the most part, the risk you describe is more about inconvenience than actual material loss.
That's what I was thinking. Any decent mechanical keyboard has all of these features and more, and the sound the keys make depends on the switches, of which there are many different types. Some switches are designed to be loud (like the MX Blues) but you don't have to use them.

I usually find that people who disparage mechanical keyboards do not actually know a lot about mechanical keyboards...
Ask HN: Best way to make professional site with form and stripe integration?
Hi HN - I had a question:

I often think of an idea that I can test with a pretty simple MVP. Assume I have wireframes and mocks. Let's assume these are the rough parts.

1) main page with a video and some explanatory content below the fold

2) order form where customer specifies their requirements

3) payment integration to process credit card transaction (say Stripe).

What's the best solution?

Out-of-the-box solutions like Wixx seem like they just don't have enough functionality to do a good job here. They are easy to spot and don't let you differentiate enough IMO.

It the solution leveraging a Word Press-esque solution that will have all of these integrations? I am particularly wary of hiring one of the many contractors who specialize in Word Press.

Is it best to just have a front-end engineer build from scratch (leveraging existing libraries of course)?

Curious what the current thinking is around this. "Best" to me means 1) Works correctly on on spec 2) Professional looking 3) Cheap and 4) Secure and 5) Easy to make small changes.

How is your monthly cost that high? Based on some quick googling, the daily cap for zone 1-6 travel tops out under 20 pounds which would come to 600 pounds for 30 days assuming you travel every day. The 7 day caps top out around 60 pounds which would be 240 pounds for 4 weeks of commuting. You could probably get a small, fuel-efficient car and the total costs of ownership would save you money over what you claim to pay currently.

Have you read Léo Malet [1]? His Nestor Burma novels, set around WW2, are great. Dark and somewhat cynical, they go deep into pre- and post-war France. "120 Rue de la Gare" is one of my favourites.

The great illustrator Jacques Tardi has also adapted many of his novels. The adaptations are great, with Tardi's famous expressionist style bringing something completely new to the stories.

It's an early implementation of the same idea as the mouse scroll wheel. Engage scroll lock, and the arrow keys are used for scrolling the current text view instead of moving the cursor.

The idea of also using it to pause scrolling console text, I think, originated in Linux.

Show HN: First 30 Days of Web Development
I am pretty convinced this whole interview is sarcasm and in that light, it is hilarious. It is a clever combination of obvious statements, silly semi-rhetorical questions and mis-attributed quotes.

Below are some quotes from the interview that I think argue my point:

- "when you say design thinking, maybe your mind goes straight to the people who make art and designers. But [...] Design thinking is for everyone and you can think of it as critical thinking."

- "Is it OK for a developer to innovate? [...] or a 4th grader in school? Is it OK for them to innovate?"

- "I love this quote by Albert Einstein who said, 'Innovation is everyone’s responsibility.'" -- as far as I can tell this is NOT by Einstein, but a meme quote mis-attributed to him. (Sources welcome). Also, Einstein was most definitely NOT what we would call an engineer today as they say in the next sentence.

- "Innovation actually takes work. [...] it’s not just waking up in the morning and having a great idea and there is your $1 million idea."

- "We try to use design thinking when we are deciding on what vacation we want to take."

Some useful point they say:

- "We say there are no bad ideas, every idea is going to be a step on the road to that winning good idea. And the more the better."

- "That’s one way that we’ve been thinking about design thinking here and how to bake it into our culture is that we are requiring things that are not going to work."

>I’m sure you’ve seen keyboards where the lights of these keys are all grouped together near the top right of the keyboard instead of being on the key, such as what you see below:

Completely disagree. I want to have all the status information in one easy and non-obstructed place. On my keyboard, when I have my hands on the home row, Cap Lock is obstructed by my pinky. Also, Cap lock is much further down from the top of the keyboard making the eye distance travel more to check it.

"Advertising is a marketing communication that employs an openly sponsored, non-personal message to promote or sell a product, service or idea."

This is a personal message, and not openly sponsored. There is an affiliate link used, which is to say, the blog author likely hopes to make money off his post (even if that's not the primary impetus for his writing.)

As people that use products such as keyboards, I think we're receptive to well-documented personal messages about the products we enjoy using. I don't imagine anyone will get rich off this blog post, and I doubt that was the reason it was written.
I think the article is well written and brings up some good stuff to consider but I have a hard time appreciating any basic desktop keyboard recommendation for the HN crowd that is not an ergonomic keyboard.

If you're a professional who uses the keyboard regularly, unless you have some special needs or wants, why wouldn't you go with an ergonomic keyboard as the base option.
That’s kind of the cart leading the horse a little. High birth rates are correlated with poor countries. As countries become more efficient, birth rates go down. When you graph that, you can make it look like the high birth rate was causing the economic sluggishness.

Your counter argument does not account for negative externalities resulting from increase road travel.

Better yet, have you ever been to China? They are already leaning this lesson of induced demand, as have Singapore.

From too-low fuel taxes to too wide roads, driving is far too cheap in the US thanks to these subsidies. Wider highways is not the answer.

In other words, making highways wider not only does not solve congestion, it makes other problems worse in the process.

I was surprised by this point - I have the same keyboard as the author but when I'm on video calls I tend to use the keyboard on my MacBook because I've gotten numerous comments about how loud my keyboard is.

I use the MacBook built in speaker (not a detached microphone like he does in the video). My keyboard is on a wooden desk directly in front of the the laptop (with an open screen for even worse acoustics). Maybe I'd have better luck with a raised microphone like in the video in the article, but I would not say this is a particularly quiet keyboard.

Why make such languages in the first place? Especially considering that you don't need to, user experience is not in conflict with emphasizing security.

Suggesting rewrites is also a non-solution, given that you can make C much safer without rewrites. The problem here is rather different: you just want people to use Rust, not actually solve any of the raised issues.
"Taxing the rich" and effective redistribution (and government spending in general) are two different things. In the United States, the top 1 percent of income earners pay a greater share of individual income taxes (37.3%) than the bottom 90 percent combined (30.5%). The bottom 50% of earners pay about 0% in income taxes. I believe this excludes capital gains.

> The part of the government issuing debt doesn't technically have a say in it.

To be fair, there is no economic law that says this has to be true. It is just true, today, in countries like the USA. It's very possible we reach a point where central banks work together with the government to directly purchase and monetize government debt. It seems absurd today, but so did negative interest rates 20 years ago.

My previous favorite was the Natural 4000 Ergonomic, and now the Sculpt Ergonomic. In both cases, I have had keys wear out* and have gone through quite a few, but like them enough to put up with the trouble. Of course, I could get the 4000 for $20; I tend to have to spend closer to $60 to get the Sculpt!

* The Natural 4000 space bar was the worst offender. On my Sculpt Ergonomic, I've lost an 'L' and 'F5'.

And they live about as well as you would expect on $800/yr. Sure you can get a house for $1000 but it doesn’t have running water or electricity. In countries that poor, basic infrastructure will cost you, at a real rate, more than it would in a rich country.
Given that HN doesn't have any secret vote buying mechanism I'm aware of, I suspect this is since the Cassandra Capital articles are pretty technical, and HN tends to like brief, technical write-ups.

So, less secret cabal, and more just writing to an audience. Remember, any given subreddit is just a community and not representative of the internet or reality at large.

In horse racing where the bets are done via parimutuel[1], the challenge is that there's an upper bound on how much you can "invest" in a given wager without changing the odds. This makes it less likely that an expert will seek outside investment unless their model has them betting "wide" (lots of small bets vs. a few large ones).

Agreed. I also have the same keyboard. And when on video calls, I regularly switch to the Macbook Pro built-in keyboard if I don't want the other person to hear me typing (it is quite loud and definitely audible over a video call).

Maybe it's just because my keyboard is >15 times as expensive but I have an extremely hard time believing that the Amazon keyboard is in the same league. I can't help but feel like if the author unironically prefers a $15 keyboard (and believes that mechanical keyboards are all loud) then maybe he shouldn't be writing a blog post about keyboards because he doesn't really know what he's talking about.

These are just things that most generic keyboards already have.

I see no reason why anyone should buy this keyboard over the one that probably came with their computer.

Unique features, like doubleshot keycaps, N-key rollover, layers and macros, actuation that is seperated from the bottom-out, good build quality, and more can all be found on a decent mechanical keyboard.

Also, mechanical keyboards don't have to be loud!

I switched to Input Club WhiteFox with heavy buttons (Hako Trues) and after getting accustomed to it I find it the best keyboard I ever had. It's sturdy, small (tenkeyless) and I learned not to bottom out. That makes the typing experience smooth. The noise is OK with my colleagues. Hard to describe the feeling of these keys - it's as if you're floating on a bouncy and precise spring. Used to get tired after a full day in the beginning, but this problem disappeared in a few weeks. Now I miss it when I am travelling, that's how great it is.
