I get that this is pedantic, but the first bank in Canada was established in 1817. While that's just over two centuries ago, that wasn't a "branch bank", it was literally the first bank in the country.

I'd ask for sources if you want to make claims that broad.

For small accounts, the FDIC premium levied on the institutions is sufficient skin in the game. It goes up during volatile times. I’ve been in meetings worrying about it. The other skin a bank has is making sure its loan and fee business keep up with savings and is sufficiently risk-managed. This pressure regulates the accumulation of large savings accounts.

Yes, you can get cheaper laptops. Whether they are "equivalent" is a matter of what you consider "equivalent". Certainly you can get Clevo from other sources at a lower price. They just don't come with the same enduring Linux support, let alone niceties like coreboot, etc.

WSJ: Wall Street Is Looking to Reddit for Investment Advice
I've been very disappointed in my m1 MBA performance. I had used a 8 year old PC desktop and Chromebook before. The PC died, so I tried to get a MBA to replace both, and honestly it's just slower than either at most things. The thing it does well, and the reason I keep using it, is that my Chromebook doesn't support a few software applications I like using.

There are also what appear to be intermittent sound card issues. But Everytime I make an appointment to get it fixed, it decides to not have it.

I mean it's ok, but I think wait for v2 of the chip. But I just don't get how people's experience with the M1 is so different than mine.
This comment makes me feel old. I immediately knew he was talking about static, but I suppose if you didn't grow up with pre-digital terrestrial TV, you wouldn't be familiar with that.
> I recently added to the home network is Stratum-1 NTP server that gets it's time via Pi GPIO GPS module. Whether this has any real positive privacy or security implications, I do like the idea that I have significantly reduced outbound traffic to/from port 123 from the devices in home network

I like the way you think, and was thinking about some of the same. Could you share what solution you went with in terms of hardware? I am interested in using better than commodity time that could serve both NTP and precision time as well.

The benefits for better time, and local time are fairly impacting if you are doing anything with time sensitive computing (PKI, performance measurement, and audio are interests of mine).
It's okay. We can just install WSL2 and the free bit of Docker works as if it were running on Linux.

Last week, I looked at the comments on a YouTube video about the Afghanistan withdrawal. I noticed something suspicious: two comments with a similar political view ended with a few whitespaces and a pipe character (“|”), and had generic user names. Then I looked again - there were actually dozens of comments like this on the video!

I know exactly what happened: the programmer used the wrong delimiter. It makes me wonder how many times the programmer did not make such a mistake.
Honestly what's the point of these? I mean sure, if you're driving I suppose, but you probably should be concentrating on driving lol. Also, dictation is what I do with Siri.

Domain knowledge never gets there though. People never really understand their products or the customers. which is bad for products.

Souls can't move that quickly, and are left behind, and must be awaited, upon arrival, like lost luggage."
Ask HN: How do I find people and companies to work with that aren't boring?
Posting this on an alt account for privacy reasons.

I'm at this point in my life where I'm am starting to get bored with technology and tech companies and I'm not sure what to do next. When I first got into tech, a lot of things were changing, new companies with fresh ideas were sprouting up, interesting never-before-seen products were being created, and the average tech person I spoke with in the industry had what I would describe as a true passion for technology (I would often have discussions at length about various tech stacks, which ones we thought would be the future, etc.).

However, now I cannot for the life of me find these same things in the modern technology landscape. Every month I get excited to see the new startups post about their companies to HN, only to be frustrated that its always the same exact thing (in my view): Web front-end/SaaS small company, using similar tech stacks, collecting data, in a niche business field that relies almost exclusively on marketing the product for the business to be successful. Where's the next Microsoft, Apple, or Google? Where's the next unique technology? I could care less if it is not likely to be market viable, I just want to work on something thing I've never seen before and be amazed. I want to work with people who have unique visions of the future and live, sleep, and breath technology. Maybe these types of companies and people don't exist anymore and the industry has become saturated and mature (which is a good thing in many ways, internet-based business are very reliable these days and have high uptime), but I still hope these people, products, and businesses are still around.

Sorry for the negativity HN, I just need some advice, opinions, and additional viewpoints on the future of this industry. Is it time I give up my search for these companies that I consider interesting and unique, and accept that the industry has become mature and stable? Has anyone else in the industry felt this way, or have I just had bad luck with this?
Agreed. I remember reading Hinterlands as a high school student and being depressed for the following decade.

Maybe at one point 250k was serious money, but now I would imagine the figure would need to be a lot higher.
FreeBSD has used this same trick for half a dozen years or so to build arm, mips and riscv binaries using fast Intel servers. The FreeBSD build system can build itself to produce binaries for the target (so the compilers run natively) and qemu handles the rest with user-mode emulation via bsd-user (which I happen to be in the process of upstreaming).
I normally don't support Reddit (that site redesign is hard to forgive), but I'm happy to see some pushback against Cancel Commies. Good job!
I saw here on HN about the IPO of a shoes company. Shoes are much more mature than web and mobile and there are still people starting up things.
hierarchy mapping
Wow, that's a very sad and scary tale!

Is this from around 2013, or more recent?
I'd be very curious to hear if anyone here is doing similiar things -- and if you are successful. I've been scraping Reddit for almost a year, and while there is plenty of interesting output, I cannot see how one would calibrate WSB/Reddit to actual trading signals. The key problem for me seems to be the small n-value of tradeables and events with tradeables.

I can very clearly quantify risk of something swinging wildly. But implied vol usually adjusts very quickly. So I dont see (yet?) on whether this could provide true alpha.

The other thing is -- given that implied vol adjusts so quickly, why not just use IV as the signal for risk than trying to scrape reddit?
> I'll admit I'm pretty furious at the fed right now though.

I suspect you would have been a lot more furious at the Fed in the event they had sat back during COVID and presided over a deflationary spiral triggered by the lockdowns. Can't get a mortgage if you're out of work, ya know?

> As someone with a lot of assets in cash who was hoping to buy a house last year...

Let me stop you right there. Generally speaking, you shouldn't hold cash. Nobody should hold cash. Nobody should have ever held cash because even at the baseline expectation 2% inflation that's still a loss.

> I have been double penetrated by inflation...

Inflation is somewhere between 2 and 5%. That's not what I would call "penetration." Mild discomfort maybe.

> ...and spiraling home prices.

Housing affordability hasn't really changed on a monthly basis, because on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage the drop in interest rates from 4.xx% to 2.xx% means that a monthly payment two years ago on a $1M property is the same as it would be today on a $1.2M property. That's napkin math, I believe the spread is even larger IRL.

In fact, if you can lock in a 2.xx% mortgage in a 2-5% inflationary environment then it is in real dollar terms a zero-interest loan. Before factoring in tax deductions.

What's become more painful is making the down-payment.

> Now I'm poorer and I can't help but think Powell effectively just stole from me and I've been punished for being defensive and not participating in the fueling of an asset bubble.

You're not poorer, you're not as rich as you thought you'd be.

It was pretty nightmarish, but I'm still very thankful I received it. 40 minutes of awfulness in exchange for years of not needing glasses/contact lenses was worth it for me.

Also, I'm guessing this issue isn't too uncommon, because during my consultation a week or so before the procedure, they mentioned that they could give a small dose of a benzodiazepine (I think Valium) beforehand to reduce anxiety. When it was time for the procedure, I think they mentioned it again before it started but they said it didn't seem like I needed it, since I don't think I was showing outward signs of anxiety at that point, and I didn't express (or have) any conscious fears. I think there's a good chance that if I had taken it, all of the trouble could've been avoided.

So, if you make those concerns known and request one, I think you'll likely have a much better experience than I did.

All enterprise gear should allow you to have multiple SSIDs on different or dynamic VLANs. You won't have that issue on Meraki, Ruckus, Cisco or Aruba gear.

It's worth noting though that more than 3 SSIDs brings with it radio overhead which can degrade performance of your wireless network.

Strictly speaking, the returns only indicate a higher perception of risk, which may not necessarily translate to the same amount of actual risk.

As far as I can tell, the risks of depositing stablecoins in something like Uniswap or Compound are the following:

1) The stablecoin might not be redeemable 1:1 for fiat in the future. Personally, I think this risk is negligible for USDC and minimal with DAI.

2) The smart contract code might have bugs leading to loss or theft of the deposited tokens. I think this is minimal with Uniswap or Compound. It's significantly higher with some other providers (which do seem to offer higher rewards, but not enough for my taste).

3) High Ethereum gas fees could make it very costly to withdraw your funds in the future. So far, I have seen these fees spike as high as US$200-300, but only for a brief period of time. Usually they settle back to $20-50. This might be the highest risk but is still acceptable, to me, anyway.

Taken together, these risks are well worth getting ~5% instead of 0.1%, to me. YMMV, of course.
I think a good start is to not do what you hate. If you can avoid that at least, then I think you are headed in the right direction.
This is bad but it already regularly happens. Any tentpole movie hoping to become a global hit effectively always censors its writers to ensure it can stay under the US MPAA R rating to expand to the maximum potential audience scope. More recently, they're also removing content found objectionable by Chinese censors, so now they're bowing to at least two national restriction boards.
Okay, then where does the information come from? A deterministic algorithm can't generate information where none exists.
