I'm confused. Are you trying to say that Stripe is violating their own policies by offering a clearing-house API to facilitate their customers getting loans from banks?

Or are you trying to say that a Stripe customer would be in violation of Stripe's policies, if they used this facilitaton-of-loans to provide loans to their own customers?

Because I think the first statement is obviously false; and the second statement is obviously true, but vacuous — in that that's not the service that Stripe is offering. (Or, I mean, it could be in special cases, but it's not pitched that way because for most companies doing that would be a legal impossibility.)

Obviously, Stripe can hook your company up with a bank; and obviously, that bank can offer your company some loans. Those two processes, separately, are entirely normal things that happen every day in the financial world. Combining them doesn't change that.

Obviously (to me, at least), your company cannot take a loan offered by a bank, and repackage that same loan to your own customers as part of your offering as if it was from you, with your company controlling+mediating that relationship — at least, not without you yourself being legally reclassified as a bank. (Which is why that's not what Stripe itself is doing here. They're just facilitating already-legitimate transactions between banks and businesses, without owning or mediating those transactions.)

And that fact has nothing to do with any company's policies, Stripe's or otherwise; that just has to do with what activities are only legal for banks to do. Stripe isn't filtering these customers out. They're just telling them that they can't take do X with service Y Stripe provides, because they're not banks, and only banks can legally do X, regardless of how.
As it existed, it didn't have any of the equipment needed to lower it. It was raised to it's position with temporary equipment, then the cables that held it up were fixed in place, and then the temporary equipment was removed.

So to lower it, they'd have had to do a lot work adding stuff near the cables. Which they already knew to be a lot weaker than they were supposed to be, and of which two had already failed. That would have been the really negligent thing to do, instead of just removing all people from near the dish which was done.
64 GB? From where?

I just looked at Dell and an XPS desktop with 16 GB of RAM starts at $650. You aren't going to be able to add two GPUs and a monitor for $350.

At HP you can get to 32 GB for $650 but again you still need to buy GPUs and a monitor.
Did you get paid for those 2 weeks? If not then I would say you got fired.

After those 2 weeks, if the employer still wants help/answers then they should expect to pay a very very expensive hourly rate. :D

As an employer, it makes a lot of sense to accelerate someone out the door that has given notice. That said, you still want them on the hook to answer questions so you should send them home but pay them for those 2 weeks (or however long).
No worries at all, would love to! I am available anytime Wed-Fri. I can reach back out via email as well if that makes scheduling easier.
Are you not aware of the history behind CDA section 230? There was at least one actual court case in which the online service Prodigy was successfully sued for libel, on the grounds that by employing moderators to remove "offensive" content, Prodigy automatically became responsible for everything its users posted that was not removed.

>For technical analysis to be anything other than an abstract form of gambling, the efficient market hypothesis has to be flat out false.

Technical analysis is predicated upon the assumption that the efficient market hypothesis is true, and that all investor sentiment and other relevant information is all already priced in.

Whether TA is actually valid or if it's just drawing random foofy lines on a chart remains up for debate.
Bitwarden for my team and also family.

Open source. Using the hosted service though which is reasonably priced.

The UI/UX is a bit clunky, especially for sharing. But it does the job for the most part.
This happened in 2001 when there was less surveillance. Although the hotel we were staying at (foreigners only) had cameras everywhere, including one on the ceiling just outside our door.

The restaurant staff did not betray any information to me. That is why they were horrified. It put them in a diffiuclt position. I assume that they would not accept my money because of the risk that it might flow back to the chief that I had paid.
It follows that nobody who uses the term "vice signaling" has anything useful to say.
That's an interesting idea. My gut feeling is that we don't have enough of these old eggs/embryos lying around to get sufficient depth or breadth of data points to be informative.
> I think the team at AWS that built it should be reassigned and contractors or an A team brought in to try and salvage it

That's a knee-jerk assessment. You don't know the first thing about Timestream's development and we are only a few years into the development process of what I believe is a novel architecture for a timeseries database. Give it another couple of years and then we can take a look at how Timestream is doing.

One of Amazon's advantages is the ability to plan and execute on a longer time scale than their competitors. They can take approaches that take longer to bear fruit but are better in the long term.

Timestream is a scalable timeseries database with separated compute and storage built for extremely high volumes (or that's my guess given the architecture offloads cold data to magnetic storage). Whereas Timescale seems to be timeseries functionality added to Postgres - which means they are probably going to hit scaling (perf/cost) issues once they need to work at petabyte scale. And my guess would be that their coupling to Postgres is going to make it painful to build for that scale. They also claim to offer separated compute and storage, but based on the pricing model it seems to be that you can change your CPU+Storage configuration, not an ephemeral design where you only pay for compute when it's needed - very different from Timestream's ephemeral pricing model. This is a pure guess, but I would imagine that Timescale being built on top of Postgres is going to make a truly serverless SaaS (i.e. pay for only what you use) very difficult to build.

Time will tell, but this is sort of if MySQL benchmarked writes against Snowflake 5 years ago and then thinking that everyone at Snowflake should be fired.

I worked with a really talented engineer at a small s/u, who had previously worked at Lockheed. He told a story about a manager of a missile program, who was responsible for managing & executing launch tests. When notified about an upcoming test, he would take off a few days before the launch, and the day of the launch itself. Such was his confidence in the program, procedures, and his crew. (I am sure I have some minor details incorrect). Different fields, but wouldn't that be an amazing place to get to for s/w projects, as opposed to this chaos.

There is none, to little, protections in the ADA for support animals. I believe the only provisions are service dogs and horses. But apartment managers, many restaurants, and general businesses are just ignorant enough of the law to not really push it. Some restaurants are starting to push back due to hygiene.

Now the new thing is to get out of paying exorbitantly high ($500) pet fees by claiming the pet as a support animal. Competent building managers will see this coming and note that only service dogs are exempt.
Service dogs for blind people and people with epilepsy are covered by the ADA.
Don't forget that creating arbitrary hierarchies among workers is good for business by creating divisions among the working class, which keeps them from banding together effectively against the ownership class.
For my usage (which I use Linaria, a zero runtime variant that resolves to link tags on build), there are two main benefits:

1. All of a given component’s dependencies and implementation can be viewed/resolved/navigated together.

2. Point 1 also aids static analysis, allowing easier type checking & linting, refactoring, dead code elimination etc.
What's the average number of winners for a South Africa powerball?
Huh. I always thought it's legal, but not a hundred percent legal. I mean, you can't walk into a restaurant, roll a joint and start puffing away. You're only supposed to smoke in your home or certain designated places.

I was under the impression: it's legal to buy it, it's legal to own it, and if you're the proprietor of a hash bar, it's legal to sell it. It's legal to carry it, but if you get stopped by the cops in Amsterdam, it's illegal for them to search you.

Am I just misled for the last 25 years?
wow those pics are incredible; must have been a hell of a sight to put up. although, i guess that's true of a lot of the public works-y sorts of things we did in the 40s-70s (not that this really technically counts, probably, but whatever).
>>> We need to note that Amazon is an NPR funder.

> You actually believe that Amazon has editorial control over NPR and specifically exerted that leverage to make this article incoherent?

You don't have to have editorial control to have influence.

For instance: how smart would it be for you to complain about your employer in public forums under your own name? People call that "biting the hand that feeds you." So even if you have a legitimate grievance or have witnessed clearly unethical behavior with your employer, maybe you decide to keep quiet because you need the money from your job.

Your employer just influenced what you write without having any editorial control over you.

Honestly, I have no idea. I don't know any proprietary traders who use candlesticks/TA. The one or two people I know who use TA are hobbyists who watched some videos on youtube.

I might be in the wrong here, but all my experience points at TA being something that's used to sell online courses/generate advertising revenue rather than being a legitimate way to trade.
A good home theater setup alone won't give you the same experience as the quality of the content delivered to cinemas is way better. It's only scantly compressed compared to what is sent over the network via streams. A single movie sent to theaters via mail can take up hundreds of gigabytes, if not more.

Hello deandree,

Almost a year ago I've had pretty much an identical idea. Ultimately I got discouraged by the thought that historical data does not correlate with actual stock performance.

Nonetheless, I'm very proud of you for managing to release this product, regardless of the critique you get in this thread.

Best of luck in the future.

Fair deal, you've earned your slack time.
The point is that the scarcity can be trivially changed if certain people decide that it should, which isn't true for things that exist in the real world like gold. Norms shift over time and your suggestion that it's unlikely to change is your opinion based on cultural analysis, not something that can be proven to be true even in principle.

> It would be much, much more difficult to change than e.g. the supply of dollars or euros which are considered scarce enough by most of the world

This thread is about gold not fiat money, obviously the scarcity of fiat money can change, that's the whole point of fiat money.

> Software is very very lazy lately, and most of the time these issues are being fixed by throwing more hardware at it, not fixing the code.

Some things cannot be 'fixed'. It's always a trade-off. You can't expect to have all the fancy effects that rely on multiple frames and also low latency.

If there was a simple software fix, GPU manufacturers would be all over it and pushing it to all engines. It's in their interests to have the lowest latency possible to attract the more hard-core gamers (which then influence others).

Just look at all the industry cooperation that had to happen to implement adaptive sync. That goes all the way from game developers, engines, GPUs, monitors. Sure that sells more hardware(which brings other benefits), but a software-only approach would also allow companies to sell hardware, by virtue of their "optimized" drivers.
Emotional support animals aren’t “ridiculous”. They actually have some positive impact on people’s mental health, eg those with PTSD. I do take issue with abuse of the regulations. Some beneficial medications can be used recreationally, and governments give abundant clarity on legal and illegal uses. It would be harmful for people to start calling those medicines “ridiculous” because some people use them to get high or improve their performance.

I think a solution is for the government to place restrictions on emotional support animal use, eg the same way prescriptions are handled.

> Until they overstep, get fired, and cause drama by claiming everything that happened to them was due to discrimination, and not because they are toxic and disruptive.

IMO it’s the _companies_ that strike me as toxic drama queens with their shady tactics and obfuscations, hiring ethics and policy folks to look good without any intent on following through with support or respect.

In addition, my big reason for preferring movies at home is the "Pause" button. I can sit through an entire movie, but my life is better if I can just pause things for whatever needs come along.

(It's funny, I mentioned this to a coworker from the EU and he asked why the intermission wasn't enough for this. I'm still not sure it wasn't part of a joke that I didn't get, but I think at least US movies when shown in theaters around him always have an intermission.)

"Go short" means you sell first, then buy it back later. If you think AAPL is going lower, you can borrow shares from your broker and sell those. And when it goes down, you buy back shares at lower price and return them to broker with interest.

It's quite easy to keep afloat if you're trading on something like BitCoin that mostly just goes up and up, with the occasional downward blip. But since you don't know when it all might come crashing down, you may as well be doubling your bet every time you lose at roulette -- that also feels like you keep winning, until you don't.

One thing that would probably be good is to have people create accounts, and ensure all their sessions are logged. That will make it so that people can't just forget their losses and pretend to themselves that they usually win.
Do you think the predominance of men in tech is "hiring by skill alone" and that it just happens there are almost no skilled women?

Do you think it's possible that you can "hire by skill alone" and given two equally skilled people - one man, one woman - always hire the man, and that you could hire some equally skilled women if you randomised or removed whatever male-bias exists in your hiring?

Do you think it's possible that there are equally skilled men and women available to employers to hire, but that employers have built frat-boy workplaces where only men are interested in working, and cultures that drive away skilled women?

Do you think "hire by skill alone" means always hiring the most expensive people - like buying jewellery by value alone? What if a company can't afford to staff with all the maximally skilled people, but can get 80% of the skills for 50% of the money?

What about hiring people who can be trained or skilled up, and training them?

What about teams, where the collective skills can be greater than the sum of their parts, but maybe not if all the parts are identical?
Lack of an app is not the problem. They haven't been able to come to terms on rev share yet. I suspect this news will break the impasse.
Who’s talking about backward incompatible changes? This is about the speed at which new capabilities are added.

What good is a mandatory API if you have to use proprietary extensions a year after it is introduced, because new capabilities have been added to operating systems and hardware?

Do you think gasoline engines have changed as much as computers in the last 20 years? Perhaps people like OBD-II because engines are a mature technology.

I’d be surprised if you can make the case that operating systems and computers can be considered mature.
This is exactly the reason I love Alamo Drafthouse. Zero tolerance policy on noise and cellphone screens (which they've actually enforced when I've been there).

Food prices are comparable to other theater chains, but the _quality_ is much higher. Real food (not concession stand quality), adult milkshakes, etc. Seats are lazy boy quality recliners.

Plus the ushers shimmy around on the floors to come take your order and bring it to your seat. You get these little menu cards you can fill out during the movie. The ushers look for folks who have a card ready and come grab it.
I don't think people particularly care whether something is legal or not when it comes to drugs. It's not like when heroin becomes legal everyone will start to take it. And even if somehow a kid obtains heroin from a legal source they'll know dosage strength and doctors will know what to do. If you buy from a dealer you can't know what exactly it is. Many deaths were caused by accidental overdose when dealer added cheap Chinese fentanyl to make it "stronger" but was too lazy to mix it properly. When you buy legal alcohol you can be sure you won't get methanol poisoning or ingest hand sanitizer.
wtf multi-cloud
Reading the comments on this thread is genuinely depressing. It's amazing how callous people can be to simply say "good" and move on, nevermind that people actually benefited massively from this and that most of those people used it in good faith, and likely did not attempt to bring ostriches and ponies aboard.

Not to mention the comments that say something to the effect of "well even if it did help a few people, it drove up prices for everyone". The implication being that disabled people only deserve accommodations (and therefore the right to participate in society) when they are convenient for everyone/companies.

It's very telling that these are the responses of the community when it comes to disabled people rather than the responses we see on other threads about how some framework or Salas is dropping support for some beloved feature, i.e. responses such as "why can't we try X? Won't Y work?"

I'm physically ill reading the comments here.
What do you mean? It looks normal to me. Do you mean the blocks here? https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/main/src/renderer...
Er, if this is unrelated, why are you commenting something that you must be aware is certain to stir up unproductive, culture-war-y discussion? Anyone who's been within 10 feet of hiring responsibilities knows you can't even think about race and gender when considering a candidate.
> You simply can't replicate the experience of seeing Captain American catch Thor's hammer

Funny that you use that as an example - I agree 100%. This exact scene was one of the most insane experiences of my movie-going life. The theater went WILD.

I understand that it might actually be annoying to a lot of people, but for me, it was really part of the experience.
> Bitcoin has been around for about a decade now. It didn’t take anywhere near that long for the internet

That's not true, as is obvious with only basic fact checking. Apart from it not being obvious what you mean by "internet" (does ARPANET count?), the internet proper saw its first commercial access providers appear in 1989[1] and it certainly was nowhere near popular in 1999 as it is now. In fact, I would say the change from that period is almost fundamental. Remember, 56k modems were popular back then and a very small part of the world's population had internet access.

My point is, this certainly fits into the larger picture of where Bitcoin is right now. It's vastly more popular then 10 years ago, because now my plumber and barber ask me about it, it is regularly talked about in the news and there are almost no countries without laws enacted as a response to it.
