If the bank has 1M deposits, its net assets are 0. It has 1M is cash and has 1M in liabilities to depositors. If the bank loans out 900K, then it still has 0 net assets. It has 1M in liabilities to depositors, 100K in cash, and an "IOU" worth 900K (ignoring interest). Tether is different. When it mints and sells 1M USDT, it gets 1M is cash, but doesn't have any liability to Tether holders other than the honor system. It could easily pay a 500K dividend to its owners and no one would know.

Apple’s debt was entirely to avoid taxes: they had cash overseas and wanted to pay a dividend, but repatriating that cash in order to pay it out would have been expensive, so they simply borrowed against it.

I guess you would often get closer to the true output of the 20+W solar panels, at least during summer daytime.

I haven't done extended hiking or similar, but I expect "phone off" (and maybe a usb battery) is pretty competitive as a solution, with charging when it happens to be available.

The "... or equivalent experience" has been in job descriptions for as long as I can remember. Since the 80s, for sure.

I have only seen one instance of a software engineer not being hired because they lacked a degree, and the three or four of us in the org who also did not have degrees were pretty upset at a certain idiot manager. I wish I'd kept track of that candidate, because they were on fire and going places.

debugging in situations where there is no ability to halt and step, or in some cases even log, is extremely extremely tricky. Embedded is another domain where that's super common... or drivers or other peripherals.

there probably are tools these days for debugging shaders, potentially commercial packages if Nsight Studio doesn't have it, but yeah, that sort of thing isn't easy.

Cool project but I think building a full stack web framework in a language without features like operator overloading is a fool's errand.

Yes, Go has nice standard templating and HTTP serving libraries, and nice dependency management. These are all important features for a web framework.

No, it will never be productive as its competitors in the web framework space, because you simply cannot write expressions like `order.customer.region` that intelligently hit the database, because you can't override the dot operator. Instead you have to write unreadable crap like `regionController.Show(userController.Show(order.customer).region)` which is infinitely less "productive" than the former, for obvious reasons. Oh, you can `go generate` the *.Show definitions from a simple struct definition (or with 1.18 generics)? Too bad the final product is still unusable!

Use Go where it excels and connect it to your Ruby/Python/Typescript web backend over gRPC or HTTPS.

>Researchers placed seeds in the samples, watered them and then put the trays into a terrarium box, to which they added a nutrient solution daily

I'm no expert but this sounds more like using lunar regolith as a hydroponics growth medium than as a soil. Next they might try compressing the lunar samples into more traditional hydroponic pellets and compare the results.

I do wonder how long you'd need to "Mark Watney" the lunar regolith before it becomes proper soil.

“Unity build” seems like a pretty good name for it.
I graduated in 2003 form a Software Engineering programme. From the 100 people that started the 1st semester, only 15 of us got out. Of those 15, 4 of us had a Software Development specialization, around 5 specialized in Networking and the rest chose "Administrative IT" specialization.

Most students didn't like programming, but knew that there was money to be made in computer technology (we started in 1999, the internet was booming before the 2000 bubble burst).
The job I have now includes options. When the job offer was being negotiated, the recruiter called the options "monopoly money"- worthless and having no known value. Just 1000 pieces of nothing. I was frustrated at the time, and negotiated purely on salary.

Ultimately, I came to respect their opacity. They didn't try and deceive me into "millions that could be mine if only X happens"

What is a "typical pro-crypto reaction against everyone else" friend? I am flattered that you took the time to comb through my comments to determine whether I was on "your side" or on the "other side". And yes, I am obviously "pro-crypto", as you put it. Are you implying I am some sort of bad actor because of this? Please help me understand.

And I also agree there are no new arguments here. We've been rehashing the same pro-crypto vs anti-crypto discussion for more than a decade and at this point most of us who are not new to this debate are just arguing to let off steam. If you have anything constructive to contribute, other than ad-hominems, I'm happy to hear your side.

Ask HN: Why doesn't HN have tags/filters?
Every post should have a set of tags: describing the subject.
In the information overload age filtering is becoming essential.

Tagging is available on any serious platform with lots of data. It can be used to search for or filter out posts to save time/energy.

Personally I skip about 95% of posts here -- a lot of that is based on the post's category.

Some e.g's of HN relevant tags (multiple could be used per post):
Code, Software, AI, Crypto, Linux, Politics, History, Space, Math, Biology, Health, Robotics, Microsoft, Apple, Startup, Social Media, Study, Games, Entertainment, News

If readers don't want to use tags/filters they don't have to.

Bitcoin is worth 3x what it was when you started posting there … after the past week’s crash.
All those doom and gloom you describe only happens if Bitcoin is the only currency in the world. It doesn’t happen when Bitcoin is supplementary to USD, EUR, CNY, etc.

This is similar to how the proponents of free market and central plan both think the other side is pure evil. In the real world, a functioning economy is a mixture of both.
Don't get me wrong, I like interactive documents a lot, but they also take a lot of time and effort to produce and thus will remain a minority. Texts greatly outweigh every other medium primarily because they are very easy to produce and distribute.
The way I think of it is that when you make a purchase, the money just basically switches bank accounts. The money is still in the banks, and currency is not created or destroyed, just exchanged between players.

When a bank makes a loan using it's customer's money, the balance in the account doesn't disappear -- and the money is still available to the customers. But now a loan for a car financed by a bank goes into the car dealer's bank account which then gets loaned out by that bank. This happens over and over again in a recursive manner. This is the Monetary Multiplier Effect as part of Fractional Reserve Banking.

It's basically kind of a regulated shell game. The bank has to have so much in cash to pay out in case of a bank run, and the FDIC protects customers from bad bank management. But your money is literally replaced with a number in an account balance. And your $10k in the bank might generate $40k of loans in the economy based upon your deposit.

An investment however removes cash from your account and replaces it with shares and that money is given to someone else. So it's an exchange of money and an exchange of shares. And thereby doesn't have the same multiplication effect. In this case value is created or lost which makes your shares worth more or less on the market.

Again, value doesn't create money. Money is exchanged between parties for different amounts. A 1981 bordeaux doesn't create currency over time, just increases it's value.
It looked promising but it says it is not available on our country.
Because that change in behavior is what lets markets work. With an inflationary currency, people want to create more wealth which is a net benefit to a society. With a deflationary currency, investing in the real world loses money, which disincentivizes projects that make the world better.
Yes. NZer here. The list-based implementation is hideously undemocratic.

The party chooses the list candidates. The problem is that the two major parties get to choose some of our members of parliament, because they are at the top of the party list. We get members of parliament that have zero franchise and that you effectively cannot vote out.

Personally I think it's a really fucked system. Although even with all its suckiness, it is way way better than a two-party system like in the USA. We get some kooky third parties, but somehow the third parties seem to keep everything honest.
To keep the dollar stable you need to increase the supply at the same rate as GDP growth.

Not really. One step beyond hydroponics, aeroponics is quite neat- no rooting medium used, the roots are exposed to air and kept from drying out with a mist of water and nutrients. It's been used by NASA and commercially as an alternative to hydroponics due to less (different, really) maintenance and supposedly faster, larger yields (more efficient, controlled delivery to the roots presumably).
Until these financial charades stop making money, people will continue to use them to try make money.

Hey, excellent question.

You're correct that Bud server-side renders the Svelte files, then hydrates them on the client.

This is similar to what most other JS frameworks do, it works like this:

1. Create two builds: one for server, one for browser. This is done using ESBuild. This is actually done lazily upon request, similar to how a CDN like esm.sh would build JS to be imported. This will hopefully allow the build system to scale for larger apps. Vite was my inspiration here, but it's all done in Go.

2. V8 and the Svelte compiler are baked into the bud binary. When a request comes in, V8 evaluates the compiler running the server-built page and returns HTML. That's a mouthful, hopefully that makes sense.

Happy to go into more depth here or via email hi@livebud.com.
he or she just said. with bitcoin, the value of your dollar is going up. that sounds great, but it creates a pressure to not spend and means that the relative value of your debts are also going up

Docker Desktop is a development dependency, but you can also use Podman or minikube. I just use Podman these days, I prefer it. The container format is all standard these days, you don’t actually need anything Docker to use it. Fargate and Fly don’t even actually run the container directly, they convert it to a VM with Firecracker first.
> It's called "land" because it is one of the three original factors of production in classical economics - labor, capital and land.

That makes as much sense as trying to fit all of chemistry into earth, air, fire, and water. There's a lot more going on in economics these days than "the three original factors of production", and trying to shoehorn everything into those terms doesn't make sense.

Your last two paragraphs assume that everything is going to burn to the ground if we don't have a magic fix. I asked for a defense of that; you gave me a restatement.

And in your last paragraph, "everyone who understands knows it's right". Nice. I'm sure that's some flavor of logical fallacy, but I'm too lazy to dig up the right label to put on it.

Most of the issues on delivering value at work I face these days are figuring out how to get the teams that own the various internal platforms we use to authorize me to do things on those platforms.

Who said I trust them? Do you really not believe they will provide an accounting? Want to bet?

These idiots lost people billions of dollars. I think they have a target on their back from pissed off investors, regulators, etc. There is no way they can avoid providing an accounting, and with BTC being onchain, it would be very hard to try to lie about what the funds were used for. But I never even said I trust their accounting, just that they will provide one.

I imagine they may have made many transactions with the BTC during the emergency, and they are still dealing with the fallout. My only point was that pointing to two days of silence is a bit ridiculous. Things take time, and they have competing priorities. Give them a few days.

Happy to bet any of the downvoters that disagree...
It may not need to be that private. For example, a Chinese corrupt official can move his funds to the US by converting them to BTC and fleeing to the US to withdraw them. The Chinese government can track it down after all that happens but can do nothing due to a lack of extradition treaty.
