> "To the extent U.S. customer funds are held as cash, they are maintained in pooled custodial accounts at one or more banks insured by the FDIC."

Doesn't that mean Coinbase is insulated from the banks going bust? I don't know why a "pooled custodial account" would help the Coinbase user. It's still Coinbase's money held for them (just like the BTC).

But maybe it does. I'm slightly ignorant here.
This happened to me on arch recently. I updated pacman but it didn’t warn me it needed an updated glibc. Now pacman refuses to run.

It should be easy enough to repair but it was just an old laptop I wanted to test something on so I ended up throwing the laptop back in the draw instead.
I once interviewed for Qualia, and surprise surprise both the founding CEO and Product person both were quite rude to me. Unsurprised due to their very young age at the time*. Yeah, someone may not be up to your standards, but that's no reason to mock them in a high pressure/vulnerability scenario. It's particularly odd because they were using MeteorJS quite early and I was one of a very few people in the world having creating, deploying, and running a meteorJS app at that time. If you can believe it that was about 6 years ago and I still can recall their faces to this day. Not that it bothers me anymore, but that the impression sunk deep.

Their recruiters continue to reach out to me to this day, not a snowball's chance in hell.

Contrast this with a scenario at Dropbox where I was underprepared for a datastructures question (BitSet). While the interviewer was mildly taunting me, he at least was gracious enough to give hints and talk me through the solution as it ended. I knew I wasnt getting the role, but at least I learned something that day.

* not that rudeness in youth is acceptable or expected but a lack of life experience can lead to a lack of perspective or realization that life is much longer and you only get one reputation
Yes of course, just like on more or less any Linux system. But IIRC, shutdown is a suid binary that will do its own permission checks while running. The permissions on the /sbin/ directory should not matter.
Sure, if employees owned more than 50% of the company then they'd have more "seats at the table". In my experience the employee poll is negligible though from a "power" point of view.

My point I guess is that there's no materially different upside to owning shares where you work, or just shares outside. And shares outside diversify your income stream.

If there is a material difference in terms of power, well then I guess that's different.
In many cases, because both overlap with geographical features: the Carpathians in Romania, the Pontic-Caspian steppe in Ukraine, the green mountainous Portugal north of the Tagus vs the flat "montado" landscape to the south.
Why are you talking about billionaires? And inequality isn't a bad thing by itself. For example, someone who chooses 120 hour weeks and stress and a heart attack at 50 will probably have an order of magnitude more money than someone who chooses a lifestyle job. That's not bad; that's a choice. Inequality is far too vague a term to be used in a debate.
I am an H1B holder and an Indian national. The bodyshops alone did not screw this up. A TON of Indians come here for graduate school, the main motive being that it is an easier path to getting a job here in the US. A lot of them also end up on H1B's and have their companies sponsor them for residency permits. A lot of those students have zero passion in what they're studying but it's all ok for them for a chance to work here.

A family friend's kid just arrived here for his MS CS. He told me upfront that he plagiarized all through his undergrad and couldn't write basic programs. I was like "why on earth would you purse an MS in CS then?". I saw a lot of folks like that.
My team at my company has been interviewing people this last half year: we've extended offers to a few and so far each has chosen to work elsewhere because they found better pay.

At the very least for the last half year, I think developers may have an "upper hand".
If I may inject a bit of dispassionate analysis here: I think there's a grain of truth to both sides.

It's true that Republicans have moved more toward same-sex marriage.

However, it also seems to be true that the legalization of same-sex marriage has politically activated many Republicans who are still opposed to same-sex marriage.

When same-sex marriage was not legal, those opposed to it could remain fairly complacent. It was the status quo and wasn't an issue where they felt the need to engage in political activism. The most outspoken people were those in favor of same-sex marriage. But when same-sex marriage was legalized, there was an almost complete reversal, in terms of activism.

So today it feels like Republicans are more opposed to same-sex marriage, even if the raw numbers say otherwise. But perhaps the raw poll numbers don't reflect the level of enthusiasm or activism regarding the issue.

I think this is actually a general point: the level of political activism regarding any issue tends to be highest among those who feel threatened. So ironically, the level of activism opposed to same-sex marriage, for example, becomes higher as that view tends to wane in public popularity. A powerful overwhelming majority, on the other hand, doesn't need to make much effort to maintain its status.
You're wrong - she didn't "[kill her] baby with [her] drug habit"

1) A 17 week old fetus is not a baby nor is it viable outside of the womb.

2) There's no evidence methamphetamine actually caused the miscarriage. Miscarriage is extremely common (25% of known pregnancies) and it's almost impossible to say exactly why any single miscarriage happens. In this case the fetus also had a genetic anomaly and a placenta abruption.

3) Miscarriages are more common among certain people - for example those who have PCOS, are of advanced maternal age, shift workers, and people with diabetes. If a shift worker with diabetes and PCOS has a miscarriage we don't say she "killed her baby" and criminalize it.

4) 50% of pregnancies are unplanned in the US. It's extremely likely if a drug user or regular drinker has an unplanned pregnancy they accidentally expose a fetus to those substances.

5) This whole thing is absurd because in Oklahoma it's perfectly legal to purposefully abort a 17 week old fetus (for now).

Beyond that, there's hundreds of cases, but you only replied to one. If you don't like that one how about:

>27-year-old African-American woman Marshae Jones was indicted by an Alabama grand jury on manslaughter charges when she lost her 5-month-old fetus after being shot. The person who shot Jones, whom the police claimed was acting in self-defense, was not charged in the shooting. Jones, however, was held responsible for being in a fight while pregnant, and faced up to 20 years in prison.

Or

>In 2016, Katherine Dellis gave birth to a stillborn baby in her home. She went to the doctor to receive necessary medical care afterward, only to be arrested. An autopsy showed the baby had died about 30 to 32 weeks into the pregnancy. She was sentenced to five months in prison for concealing a dead body, despite the fact that the fetus had already died in the womb.

Or

>a woman fell down the stairs, went to a doctor because she was concerned about her baby, and the doctor interpreted her concern as intent to harm her unborn child. The police were called and she had to spend two nights in jail. Fortunately, charges were dropped.

You cannot compare policies with any random country - most immigrants pick the countries that have already hoarded all the wealth over centuries by waging and funding wars. In light of that history, the US should do a lot more than bend over backwards as reparations.

The users weren't unable to access their funds. However, Ledger Live (their desktop and mobile app) uses nodes hosted by Ledger, so effectively this meant that non-technical users who relied on their hosted nodes couldn't access their funds.

One could (and should!) still use the same wallet with a self-hosted node, or a third-party one, by using the wallet with a different software (which is also officially supported; Ledger provides docs for doing so).

> obligation for US citizens to adopt every nation

The legal immigrants that came here are mostly self-supporting people whose taxes and spending supports a lot of US citizens.

Therefore your statement is almost entirely reversed, it is beneficial to the country that these people join us here.

Of course, we can kill the H1B program entirely. Businesses will find a way, except this time all of the aforementioned taxes and spending will happen somewhere else. Sundar Pichai, Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, Satya Nadella, they'll all work elsewhere, along with millions of other people in the tech community.

No. SIPC would make the customers whole first before letting any creditors access their shares. The issue is Coinbase is not handled by SIPC (or similarly the FDIC).

> the main intention of the original product.

AFAICT, the main intention of the original product was to undermine fiat currency, and by proxy, the institutions that are built on and support it, primarily governments and central banks but extending beyond that to broader societal institutions that use taxes and monetary policy as their tools.

I'm not so sure it's done with that yet.

The financial FOMO that fuels that goal just seems like a means to that end, and the climate damage from it's energy consumption seems like an (unintended?) second order effect whose problematic nature needs to be rationalized post hoc.
The voice in my head that narrates whatever I read pronounced it "ally" from the start- it didn't read it as "A-eleven-why" until someone mentioned it, so if nothing else it had the desired effect on me!

The interviewee loses a day of PTO, or continues to be unemployed (and usually in a financially precarious situation).

> Wasn't DADT instituted by the Clinton administration?

“Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Pursue” was, as official policy when implemented, a relaxation of the pre-existing hard ban on homosexuality in the military—which was a prohibition with Ask, Tell-or-face-additional-punishment-for-concealment, and Pursue any indication from any aspect of a service members personal life that might tend to suggest homosexual orientation—to a ban on public homosexual conduct.

(In practice, it tended to be much less and much less consistent of a relaxation as suggested by the official policy.)

When people are talking about the repeal of DADT, what they really are referring to is the repeal of the longstanding prohibition of homosexuality in the military, of which DADT was the last and, at least in it's overt terms the mildest, manifestation.

Also, DADT was adopted because Clinton was trying to split the baby of fulfilling his campaign promise of lifting the ban and minimizing friction with the GOP as part of a strategy to minimize risk to higher priority legislative priorities.
Most people trust that the script is not malicious, including me. There is wrong with this approach, it is extremely convienient to try something out that has good reputation.

For these people, running the script or downloading a signed GitHub release is equivilent, in both cases they do not read the source code of the software that they are running.

There is nothing stopping you from 1) reading the script before running it 2) reading the source code of Deno and any dependencies 3) compiling from source yourself. For most people, this is a waste of time. Trust has to start somewhere to build something great.

You're leaving out the fact that those tweets were sent two days after an insurrection in which Trump used Twitter to target the Vice President with a mob. In the days thereafter, Trump was being urged to cool things down because tensions were still red hot. Instead, he refused to back off the very narrative that got people fired up enough to literally assault our democratic process. There was a legitimate worry that he was still using Twitter to signal to his supporters (who again, had just sacked the capitol) that they should attack the inauguration of Joe Biden next. That was the real and legitimate concern at the time.

How many insurrections are you willing to let Trump coordinate on your platform? Two? More?
Bankruptcy rules are weird, and it's not just crypto companies that work that way. Lots of uninsured companies could lose depositors' accounts in bankruptcy. Witness grain elevators, or storage companies, or safe deposit companies - it took special laws to protect depositors. Which protection Coinbase doesn't have, apparently.

It's always more nuanced than first glance. And (rich) creditors have always had more sway in court than common depositors, unless special rules are enacted that say otherwise.
Weird. Members of The Proud Boys (in fact, people they publicly list as their leadership) have been arrested multiple times in my town for drawing weapons (paintbull guns, pepper spray, baseball bats, guns) at protests, firing shots at protests, shooting people at protests.

Don't go on about Antifa as some armed organized group and act like the Proud Boys are "just a bunch of friends disappointed in the direction of society" or some shit. Like you say, "that's not even remotely close to being factual".

No, come on, it's a not a matter of being playing some sort of "puristic game": it is a matter of looking at the product and judge it.

What can be "for the benefit of scaling" when you look at the engine and it looks like a hand grenade exploded in it (which is visible e.g. in the source of a large number of web pages, to mention something quite common)? Do you remember the code which was output by early WYSIWYG web editors?

It is just a matter of quality assessment. Also, a call for low level awareness, which is good grounding; and also, a matter of manageability (again about teams), because "cleaner" facilitates "understandable".

To be fair - you can get to staff and make $500k+/yr. After that - it’s very nebulous as to how you get higher up the ladder and doesn’t involve leetcode as much as it does political prowess and the right connections.

So, I believe it is still possible but it is a very different skill set and does become difficult. Transitioning to management train sometimes is more efficient and then it’s a whole new skill set to progress there.

I will admit though - it does taper off and opportunities do become fewer. But, still, you’re making $500k+ by the time you’re on the really difficult track and that’s a pretty healthy amount. (Still might need a partner to comfortably afford a house in SV but that’s another discussion)
> We see similar problems to SF here in Somerville and Cambridge,

"Boston saw a historic building boom during the seven years (2014-2021) that former mayor Marty Walsh, a former construction union leader, occupied City Hall. The city’s skyline transformed, and continues to do so. Tens of thousands of new units of housing were created. An entire neighborhood rose from the ground."

> Most major metros are experiencing a serious housing crisis right now.

Completely agree. But your reasons are off. Most high prices have literally nothing to do with supply or demand in any traditional (person-based) sense. Boston certainly fits that model -- it's price problems have nothing to do with any shortage in construction (construction is booming) or 'housing ban' (obviously there's no meaningful ban, because construction has already happened in large numbers for over a decade)
And that's another reason I will never visit the USA.
"Code review this" or "debug this" or "refactor this" are things that an actual developer doesn't need to do special preparation for as they probably do it almost every day, unlike LC, and should provide a signal more relevant to the job of coding that the candidate is smart and capable of doing good work. Having a bit of code to work with can also take away some stress by reducing the emphasis of typing a complete solution from scratch -- there are many LC interviews where if someone isn't typing right away, they have no hope of solving the problem in their 20-25 minutes of time even if they fully understand the problem and the correct solution.

Take homes can get a bit out of hand because candidates can choose to spend too much time (12 hours on something that "should" take 2 hours) out of desperation (or perhaps simply not having a life) if the primary criterion is the completeness of the solution. I think it works best if the solution or partial solution is used as something to have a conversation about in the next interview. For instance, the applicant can explain their lack of unit tests by providing their reasoning for relying more heavily or entirely on integration tests as the system relies too heavily on an external service.
I don't think many people depositing their funds to it will be pleased to read stories like that.

Stripe's Docs have been best-in-class for a long time. Obviously, the care and human hours they put into their upkeep is the main reason for the Docs being so good. But, as with any creative endeavor, the tools matter. If the Stripe team didn't like the content management system they used to keep the Docs up-to-date they'd be less likely to do it. As someone that has used their Docs for hours and hours and hours I'm thankful to their team for how good their Docs are.

Very cool of them to open source this. Looks great.

My name is also misspelt on my social security card. I didn't bother to have that corrected and so far there have been zero repercussions.

I'm not the biggest Bezos or Amazon fan, but his hands-off approach for The Washington Post has been reported on -- and continually monitored -- by multiple news organizations since he purchased it years ago. If he stepped in and blocked a story, whether it was about him, Amazon or something else, people would know about it.
I don't know how much those other professionals are 'managed' in a daily sense.

I worked in a law firm for a while, and didn't see the 'daily scrum/standup' thing done, even when multiple lawyers were working on the same case. They would certainly have regular meetings, and direct support staff to do certain things.

I was only a delivery/courier person, so certainly wasn't privileged to hear every case detail, but I was friends with someone whose mom was effectively the office manager. She knew most practical details about the cases - court dates, filing dates, parties, procedures, etc, but would never dream of telling any of the lawyers how to lawyer. She might remind them of due dates, but she didn't set the dates either - the courts did that.

I'm kinda willing to make a bet that this rides on top of what looks like HTTP to the Javascript engine. That's how their worker-to-worker and worker-to-durable-object protocols are.

(It's not really HTTP as in it might never cross a TCP socket, just get shuffled from one V8 isolate to another, but it looks like a `fetch` call to the Javascript.)

It's also worth remembering that SQLite itself has no wire protocol, it's a library. And there is no such thing as a "SQL wire protocol". It sure isn't gonna be Postgres wire protocol either.

From the article:

> D1’s API includes batching: anywhere you can send a single SQL statement you can also provide an array of them, meaning you only need a single HTTP round-trip to perform multiple operations. This is perfect for transactions that need to execute and commit atomically:
