> You are mistaken, citation: me working in bank on stuff related to this, and generally needing to be aware of capital requirements etc.

So your citation is yourself and your claim that you work in the field and therefore we should trust you blindly? I don’t buy it. It seems you have a vested interest in preventing others from learning about the fractional lending scam.

As for your claim that a 0% reserve ratio means banks CAN lend depositor funds, that is either a huge misunderstanding on your part or an outright lie. Show me any documentation anywhere that supports your novel interpretation, and I’ll back down.

> The fraud involved in fractional reserve lending is that the lender has no cost of funds. They are not risking their own assets and are therefore more willing to lend cheaply.

>> Again, if this was true, why would any of the banks bother lending to anyone? They could just issue themselves a trillion dollar loan at 0% to be paid back in 1000 years, the buy a yacht and retire. Why the hell would they voluntarily subject themselves to the of actually lending money to other people, then have to try and chase them down for repayment?

The rules require that a real flesh and blood borrower, signs a loan agreement obligating that they repay the loan with interest. Only a signed loan agreement creates the fractionalized funds in the borrower’s bank account.

This is what prevents a bank from borrowing an unlimited amount. They can create money to issue loans but they cannot create money without a loan agreement with a borrower.
Devops has nothing to do with Agile. You missed the point badly.
> Nearly all of the early open-source software that made the internet possible was produced in universities. The only reason it was sustainable was because it was professors being paid by the university, or students doing it for free.

I'm surprised no one mentioned that there was no personal computer. Where else would you get a computer to develop free software back then?

The low-income threshold in sf for a family of four is about $120,000. And $150,000 is not far off from that. And even more important, the extraordinary rents in sf more than outpace the higher incomes:

For example, a fair market rent for a two-bedroom apartment in the San Francisco area is considered to be $3,121 (£2,340) per month - nearly twice the 2008 figure of $1,592 (£1,190). In Cincinnati, Ohio, the figure is $845 (£632). This difference (270%) is much larger than the difference in median family incomes (50%).

If Massa thought he had it bad in 2008, Verstappen is going to have it worse if the result does get overturned. Hamilton had it won if the safety car rules had been followed.

Either way, I'm not happy with how the last few races have had vibes-based rules in order to manufacture drama for the conclusion. The last lap was just one more incident of it.

This might be too old school but you could deploy a forum have your members register then set ranks based on their memberships. For me an easy go-to would be phpBB [1] They could set email, profile info, interests, etc... The members can follow topics, receive optional email notifications and so on.

If you subscribe to the Lean Startup ethos, then testing your hypotheses should be your primary goal.

So the answer here is probably... Whatever you're the most comfortable with! Most of the code/infra you are building in the early stages is likely to be nuked at some point anyways :)

Sticking to your existing toolset also has the benefit of allowing you to get faster over time, as you gain familiarity with your toolkit and build reusable abstractions to reuse in your next pivot.
I don't like comments like this. They divert attention from the topic to some underlying motivation (which is suspect). This way, we keep playing tribal politics, instead of being grounded in truth. Textbook whataboutism.

True, and had we tried to port to native, that intern would have given up. Most of the business functionality was in a REST api, so porting to native was something that was doable, but the level of effort would have been extreme. Oh, and had we wanted native on Mac, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS... well... that's 5x jumbo right there.

Aren’t we paying the bill by doing the work to provide these things?

Finance was the old information network for distributing need. It was easily hacked/corrupted.

Isn’t the internet the replacement?

Not at all. Renewable waste is vastly better than fossil fuel waste. Remember, the latter includes CO2, the most intractable waste problem we have.

Most physical waste from renewables is simple stuff like steel, aluminum, and glass. These are all recyclable, and (more to the point) they will be a small fraction of the same materials produced in the rest of industrial society. If we can deal with the non-energy-related waste from industrial society (and we must, if we are to have an industrial society at all, even a nuclear-powered one), we can deal with the waste from a renewable system to power that society.
The library that I first used which got me stuck to Python was Tkinter. It was a welcome relief from building GUIs using GTK in C. The documentation which I used was from effbot (which seems to be offline now) http://web.archive.org/web/20180802131839/http://effbot.org/.... That led me to making Python my "primary language" when it still wasn't very popular and shaped my career.

I have seen nothing in Elon Musk's public persona to suggest he would ever voluntarily refund FSD beta fees. He might "voluntarily" do so under enough government pressure but he seems more likely to thumb his nose at regulators and take his chances on losing a class-action suit.

If two people are making $150000 each, that's a household with $300000 in income. That's not bad for a stable government job.

Also, I don't see why it's unfair to call a teacher or firefighter overpaid. If you work for a private business, nobody else knows or cares about your salary. But when you work for government, every taxpayer has a right to complain. Especially for taxpayers who make less than the government position.
> The simple answer is that if a stock is expected to never pay any dividends, it's intrinsic value is zero.

Which is obviously wrong, right? Any company that has liquid assets (and no debt) is at least worth the selling value of these assets, even if it doesn't pay dividends. So I'm not sure your model helps here.

> He wants to make people believe in the illusion that Tesla are in some unsurmountable lead when it comes to autonomy but they are actually playing catchup and are dead last because of the approach they took.

I'm sorry, but yeah, the results in that video are worse than what we had 14 years ago after the DARPA Urban Challenge. I'm actually astounded how bad it is. An insurmountable lead this is not, and points to how much of an advantage LIDAR is.

Also, while we all have our robot failure blooper reels, this is a system that's live and in production, and Tesla should be ashamed to release this even under the "Beta" label.
Some Google offices have employee nap pods. Or at least they did in 2015.
To defend a UDRP it’s about $10,000 plus filings fees. Typical filing fee is $1500.

That’s why I recommend getting domain name protection ahead of time for all your domain names. $10-20 a month can save you from having to pay big legal fees.
not op, but if bitcoin existed 1000 years ago, it would probably have replaced gold as a generic currency.

And while one might argue that the reason that gold is valued today is because of historic reasons, that it has been accepted as something of value almost everywhere for a very long time..

Now, if this wasn't the case, and someone would have proposed today that we should make this metal a currency just because it is limited in supply and very easy to recognize, I would probably feel the same way about gold as I do about bitcoin.
There’s already evidence for it. There are contemporary accounts describing the practice.

These accounts aren’t perfect. Not necessarily first hand eye witnesses, but not rumor mongers either.

So anyone arguing that this didn’t happen needs to address an established consensus.

Lots of more recent research is attacking traditional ideas about the Spartans, so this is a welcome argument.

But saying “it’s on them to prove their point” isn’t really helpful.

I'm surprised an article on hippo poop altering the local environment doesn't mention the unique (and disgusting!) way that hippos poop: by spraying it everywhere propeller-style with their tails! The usual explanation for that is that it's to mark their territory, but I wonder if this offers a more cooperative explanation? (I would be skeptical of that explanation TBC.)
I get it. However what matters the most in my view is the long term ratio of serious accidents in self-driving vs human driving. There is no need to cover all possibilities for that, right?

Fwiw, the top of HN isn’t all that stress. It mostly comes down to disk I/O and efficiency of the language.

i am looking for frontend course/tutorial that can show me how to create real world dashboard with javascirpt however all i find is bits and pieces scattered all over the internet.

> that kind of does sound excessive

I don't know about you, but I'd have to compare it to cost of living references and public employee's per capita to begin to have an understanding. Even if I had that, there are many other factors I'd want to explore: what's the impact of CoL and commuting? What's the impact of employees not living in the jurisdictional area? What are the structural systems which function to determine salaries, both as an interaction with labor markets and those that have been institutionalized? If I was hired as a consultant to make judgements on SF public spending, in short, I'd do my due diligence.
> Its almost impossible to find out what happens after long time, say a decade, with the current approach.

Most vaccines are much older than a decade. We know who gets vaccines; it's in their medical record, if not centralized anywhere. Longitudinal studies aren't impossible. So any random hospital could do a longitudinal retrospective data-collection study on the consequences for their own patients of either having received a given vaccination decades previous or not, no?

> What kind of nonsense is that?

I understood what they meant, and they're right. They're making an incomplete-information decision-theory argument. To rephrase them with more precision:

Selecting a person from the population at random; and taking the category of "vaccines that will confer absolutely no benefits to that person specifically", and selecting a vaccine at random from that category; that person will, with high probability, incur more QALY-risk from paying for the vaccine (because they'll then have fewer dollars to pay for unplanned expenses, which can be quite problematic for the median member of the population), than they will from any iatrogenic illness induced by getting the vaccine itself.

Outlier vaccines do nothing to change this, any more than those few poisoned bottles of aspirin did anything to increase the non-contingent risk profile of taking aspirin. Especially because, like the poisoned aspirin, outlier vaccines aren't on the market for very long compared to safe vaccines.
I'm not confusing them, but highest tax rate is a useless statistic. Quoting it is thus usually used to push and agenda, not to understand and explain a complex situation.

This. Their only requirement was "It plays through."

Getting 3D working optimally so that it uses the hardware maximally is actually hard. There are lots of places where you can use the wrong call and something ends up being shunted to the CPU instead of the GPU and all your performance is gone.

As a dev you probably have a really fucking fancy machine on your desktop which hides all the sins you are coding into the game.

Studios sometimes just want bodies and hire way too many inexperienced devs who haven't been through all the gotchas.

Also, you need a good profiler, you need to know how to understand your profiler and you need to profile often on a game to make sure you don't get to the end and find some horrible bug that requires you to go back and ask the artists to change all their assets.
That's merely refuting the least relevant part.

The ideographs were important in that they could tie together vastly different spoken languages in the same family. Because the writing was unified, all the spoken variants had their own influence on it by way of traders and administrators, and successful changes by proxy affected the speech of other regions. This meant that all the different places effectively evolved their languages around a virtual core based on the communications of the literate class - even the phonetic-based parts; and they could do it peacefully and continuously, constantly realigning their definitions without legal or violent coercion, uninterrupted by the constant evolution of the whole group of spoken languages.

For example, French has had a great influence on English, and they both use the Latin alphabet. Would such influence have been possible in the same time without violent conquest, given the alphabetic system of writing?

You could have started with Winforms nearly 20 years ago and you'd still be fine.
You could have started with WPF about 10 years ago and you'd still be fine.

Yes, MS tries a lot of new things, and a lot of them fail. But as for the things that don't fail out of the gate (Winforms, WPF, ...) you can stay relevant for literally decades.

In my experience frequent deployments increase system reliability and stability because those teams are decreasing mean time to recovery, leverage more automated testing, have better monitoring, and have less manual/error-prone processes.
The police tries to enforce the rules because the protesters (our local contrarians) quite often violate the rules regarding distancing, masking or contact limitations intentionally.

Unfortunately this creates a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy because these folks view themselves as persecuted victims in some sort of covert world war. (Last year, a woman from Kassel even compared herself to resistance fighter Sophie Scholl who was executed by the Nazis [0][1])

The whole contrarian scene here is somewhere between crazy and ruthless by now.
Earlier in the pandemic there were parents who took their children to protests to make the police refrain from using water cannons on them [2]. Recently a man from that scene killed his wife and their three daughters because they were caught buying a faked vaccination passport for his wife and were afraid what might happen to them [3]. In another incident, a man shot a student gas station employee after the worker asked him to wear a mask [4]. They're completely out of their minds by now.

My recommendation is to get into the habit using StrictStr, StrictInt and StrictFloat as your choice of types to start off with and use str, int, float etc only when coercion is acceptable.

Coercion is quite powerful and saves me quite a bit of work. I write validation for config files that non programmers create. I would happily avoid explaining the difference between a 1 and a "1" to them whenever I can and let coercion do the work. It reduces the mental load on them too.
When there's an accident in F1 you can have a (among other things) a Safety Car deployed.

Due to the extent of the race and the different car performances, cars can have a +1 lap difference. So if a SC is deployed, you can have a situation where you have
P1-P19-P20-P2-P3-P4-etc (P == position) (example similar to the actual positioning).

The FIA ordered drivers to pass +1lap drivers, so the physical order of the cars reflected the actual position order. This was controversial. Max (P2 at the time) overpassed five +1lap car. Furthermore, he changed tires for "faster ones". When the race restarted (with just 1 lap to go), he passed Hamilton (P1 at the time) and won the World Drivers Championship.
I'm not saying you aren't doing the right thing. Good for you. Stay healthy.

0. Those who release their code under an open source license, in the hope that it will be useful to others in some way.

1. Those who do the same as above, with the additional hope that they will be paid for in some ill-defined way. And when they are not, take to twitter and blogs to proclaim, "somebody should really do something about this!"
