It wasn't a guaranteed 20% APY. APY for defi protocols are constantly in flux and change based off how much money it makes and how many people are providing liquidity. APY is typically calculated per block and is based off how much everyone made in that block. It doesn't mean that it will be able to keep up that rate for a year. For a time Anchor was able to make more than enough to pay out 20% APY and it built a fund to pay out when it didn't make enough. There wasn't enough demand for Anchor to support a 20% APY so they were lowering the target over time while the previous profit made up a portion of what was being paid out.

>Where would that money come from?

The money came from staking rewards from tokens people deposited as collateral and from interest on loans people took out against the collateral they deposited.

>it is just a Ponzi scheme

Anchor itself was not a Ponzi scheme. You could withdraw your investment at any time. Your money wasn't paying out other people's returns.
It's still unclear who initiated the original attack which set this whole thing off, but whoever did that likely took home billions exactly because they understood how this system works.

From the looks of it, there were at least two distinct events around 9am Pacific on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday, where someone very intentionally made massive moves to trigger cascading liquidations. The rest of the damage was caused by a significant loss of faith in the system, followed by a mad dash to the exits.

The people running Terraform were doing a lot better before shit hit the fan. Maybe Do Kwon was looking for an exit or something, but I doubt it was an inside job. Maybe I'm wrong about that. I basically started ignoring Terra/UST the moment I realized how they were trying to back their stable coin. There are enough good projects in the space, wasting energy ruminating about obviously dumb concepts is a liability.
There are reputable institutions who will vouch for the software engineer's experience, namely their previous employers. You can verify previous employment. The previous employer might not say anything else about the candidate, but they can certainly verify that the CV is not just invented.
The hydrothermal vent as a spongey matrix of cell membrane precursors is one theory for this. The thing I like about this idea is that the idea of a boundary exists before membranes, and fit with the idea of the boundary being ‘found’
As a Brit living in australia for 10 years, I think relating to Covid people generally just see the greater good and accept. There are vocal groups against lockdowns and a decent chunk of people break rules.

I remember the 2 hour queue for my second jab. Chaos in some ways but people acted superbly well, and the marshall was in awe and excited for me that I was getting shot 2 so soon (compared to other people in australia).
It very much depends how much noise is on your power line. It can work just fine one day, then be appalling bad the next day.
Related to this; Check out the book The Revolutionary Phenotype.
"The Revolutionary Phenotype is a science book that brings us four billion years into the past, when the first living molecules showed up on Planet Earth. Unlike what was previously thought, we learn that DNA-based life did not emerge from random events in a primordial soup. Indeed, the first molecules of DNA were fabricated by a previous life form. By describing the fascinating events referred to as Phenotypic Revolutions, this book provides a dire warning to humanity: if humans continue to play with their own genes, we will be the next life form to fall to our own creation.

I've been through an acquisition like you mention and I was shocked at how little planning our acquiring company (a big one) had done to make it successful. Once the legal and finance stuff was done there was almost zero process and structure set up to ensure we would succeed. Everything was ad hoc. We ended up in a bureaucratic environment with unrealistic expectations, trying to integrate with undocumented in-house systems, unclear goals, and almost zero support.

Instagram was an outlier as far as acquisitions go. They had 16 employees and massive momentum. Facebook was highly motivated to make the integration happen. They cherry picked strong engineers to join the Instagram team and drastically increase their engineering capacity.

Your idea for the secret to prevent spoofing is interesting and reminiscent of the verification secret in the SCTP packet header:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCTP_packet_structure
Queries are already larger than necessary, and often two are sent where one is needed (which adds UDP, IP, Ethernet, probably also WiFi header overhead) to get both v4 and v6 while the DNS protocol technically supports multiple queries in one packet.

While I don't disagree with your point in principle, it must be said that if we cared about fourty extra bytes just so the most common records can be answered without amplification (a quite significant problem currently) then we should start by optimizing existing unnecessary inefficiencies.
The VS Code release notes are great. I always read through them, and reading about a new experimental feature I can enable if I want to try it out always gets me a bit excited. Why can't Windows put those release notes up-front-and-centre when it continually nags me to update?

They were still using huge “hard drive” platters like the one the guy is holding in the picture on page 37.

Sorry, but no. All it takes is for a neighbour to plug in a noisy appliance to wipe out your network.

The problem with P/L is that it can work, until suddenly it doesn't.
Correct. In this case the laptop+audio interface is a lot closer to the BMW S1000RR if we're using this analogy for music production.

The OP-1 if we're using motorcycle analogies is like a Zero. Really cool, new tech, quirky, doesn't use gas (a traditional DAW) but also comes with a bunch of limitations (can't load any of your normal synths into it, have to work around sampling) kind of like the limited range of electric motorcycles.

Totally fine if what you want is an electric bike for city commuting or short trips, until you want to go on a weekend trip or a track day. Now you're waiting on charging, and limited in power.

I think we've stretched this analogy far enough. I wouldn't call a laptop with an audio interface and Ableton a Honda Civic. OP-1 fills a niche, but it certainly isn't high end performance in terms of audio quality or malleability. They're really cool, creative, unique ways of making music if you like the interface, but ultimately a quirky niche in terms of actual production.
Have you (did you) consider hiring an interview coach?

Often the first few layers of interview are the most difficult, then it eases up as you get to just talk to real human beings.

Having someone help you play the game to get to the next step could be helpful.

(None of this is to say I condone the asinine hiring paths so many companies have adopted.)
Those chopped-up pieces of crap got lumped together in big collections which got rated AAA, because the people rating them assumed that not too many of the little pieces would fail at the same time.
(interesting aside, the best heuristic i ever learned on how to get good vodka, look up the manufactures headquarters/operations location on google maps, and if you don't see grain silos, don't buy the vodka)

Some years ago I updated the Wikipedia article on Skyy vodka, which read like a press release, by putting in actual facts. Such as that the ethanol came from a industrial ethanol plant in Pekin, Illinois which also made ethanol for fuel use. Then it was shipped by rail, in tank cars, to a company in California which mostly makes low-end booze, but also will make a custom brand for you if you pay them. The water used is tap water run through a reverse-osmosis plant. A little bit of re-distillation for polishing, some mixing, some flavoring, and it's piped into the bottling line.
The outsourcing company makes about a thousand different brands, but, as they admit in interviews, there are only about hundred different recipes. Skyy itself was purely a marketing company - everything was outsourced. Eventually they were acquired by a real manufacturer, so they found an exit.

So it was a meme brand. But a real product. Now we have meme brands with nothing behind them.

> There's one thing, you should redirect all the pages to one single endpoint in server side order to use "pushState". Otherwise it will return 404 when you hit the refresh button. If you don't own a server, you can support routing with hashtag "#" and listen to "onhashchange" event instead of "popstate".

Could you explain this one a bit more / maybe some example code I could borrow from? :)
Agreed! I would emphasize (and empathize) that there are muuuuuuch higher yields in the crypto space, so, many of these people felt like they were being responsible in a happy medium.

(The other yields are not fixed yields and very temporary, but it is easy to come out ahead. Not for passive investment chasers)

Regardless it was still up to them to be more discerning.

My copy is dated 1969. The COMPUTER merit badge card I have framed is dated July 27, 1970. Guess I missed the 50 year anniversary.

An Assistant Scoutmaster worked with the computer at the local Bell Telephone office, and guided me through getting the badge, mostly by providing binders of training material for their GE-mark-something. Computers then were expensive and precious, so the Bell folk only let civilians look through a window into the room with the magic box. And computer time being costly, they only let me run one program--which printed HI MOM and added two numbers. I didn't even get to type it in. In those days, one filled out a coding form and handed it to the secretarial pool to get cards punched.

100 tiny coins that nobody seriously trades moving to PoS doesn’t mean anything, ETH has been moving to PoS “real soon now” for literal years. Bitcoin and it’s variants can hardly decide on the max block size, so a fundamental shift like PoS doesn’t seem likely.

Also, PoS doesn’t solve resource shortage pressure - it reduces some power consumption, but it still puts artificial pressure on chips and drives.
Heroku changed the world, there's no metric I can fathom that you can point to and say - yep, failure.

A great deal of the movement to containers lies on the shoulders of the DevEx that Heroku pioneered.

There's a lot of new investment in a lot of new projects; it's cool to see. I hope they carry the torch forward and are successful in their own right. I am looking forward to deploying code on all of them.
You can be nice at this moment, but it's not helping anyone. Being kind, in this nice vs kind sense, means actually fucking doing something beyond purely symbolic gestures.
Sales taxes are confusing in Canada, because many products and services are taxed according to where you live in the country. I thought that was a problem Canadians would like solved.

In reality, most people just assume everything but food at the grocery store is HST taxable. They think they know the tax rates and will not challenge their own assumptions.
It hasn't failed. I'm not sure the final outcome of the current debacle but there's still nothing that matches Heroku. I've been using it professionally for 6+ years now and it just works more than most other things I've used.

This is basically Prop 13 in California which the world outside of California conclusively thinks is stupid. It’s incredibly unfair to give people massive tax breaks for buying a long time ago. The alleged benefits don’t reflect the immense cost.

In this case you’re trying to replace the majority of all taxation with a value that doesn’t change with time. People get massive economic incentives to never move. People get massive economic incentives to resist change.

I’d rather deal with a range of options from people selling and moving to introducing liens upon the property due at sale than have to deal with the mess that is 50 year stale land values and the associated negligible taxes that result.

Certainly Venezuela, Zimbabwe, El Salvador, and other countries around the globe already use USD as a de facto currency. Heck, in Zimbabwe and El Salvador it's de jure as well!

To be fair, China is a big chunk of the global population already. But crypto enthusiasts are wildly unaware of what little use it actually has. It comes up over and over again in HN threads and on Twitter.

I was blown away by the idea behind C4 when I first saw the presentation. I think what's missing is the tooling. I use C4 PlantUML do document my architecture designs.. what I'd really love though is a google maps style interface where I can zoom in or out of the current level I'm at. That'd be a game changer. Then you can really describe and understand the system.

The original presentation, in fact, used the google maps interface to illustrate the idea where you're first looking at a continent, then you zoom in to the city and finally the street level.

If you are using C4 right now, how do you compose the various level of architecture and navigate around them?

That's fine advice as long as you are willing to, in the same breath, tell people not to invest in vanguard mutual funds.

Not everybody eating plant-based is trying to mimick a carnivore diet.

But nobody likes to eat baked vegetables and porridge all the time. Just because we have meats, milks and cheeses, it does not mean we're after the taste. We're after variety in taste and structure. We also have favorite foods from our time not being vegans, and recreating them in plant-based version is satisfying. And no, it does not taste 100% like the "real" thing. If it would, some (I) would not eat it.

And plant-based meat does not have to be frankenfood [1] [2]. Take some plant-based protein (wheat, peas, what have you), marinate it in some vegetable broth and soya sauce, maybe color it with beet root, and you've got perfectly healthy meat replacement [3].

[2] https://sogoodsoyou.com/6-lessons-eating-plant-based-dr-greg... - The best way to minimize your exposure to industrial toxins may be to eat as low as possible on the food chain, a plant-based diet”. Pollutants that find their way into the soil will eventually work their way up the food chain. When you eat meat from an animal, you must consider the thousands of pounds of (potentially contaminated) plants it consumed before being slaughtered. Avoid these pollutants entirely by eating lower on the food chain

They can understand, but legally, there's no framework to negotiate that understanding.

When Charles Schwab had my newly received ip blocked with mysterious error codes, neither my ISP nor the first level support for Schwab knew anything.

The only way to fix it was my own generic understanding that my new ISP likely bought a IP block that was blacklisted.

Took escalation to Schwab's IT 2nd
level to fix it.

But it's not really about knowing but the framework to rectify.

Really the G.hn PL modulation seems more than adequate, but the behavior when conditions change is incredibly poor; if I had time, I'd find a "sufficiently noisy" appliance, some romex and run them all together. TCP and many video streaming sites are quite good at handling variable bandwidth, but the G.hn seems to turn that into variable latency, which is terrible. The people who design these are presumably not idiots, so I'd like to know why treating noise like congestion isn't sufficient...

> Having family is no guarantee they will stay with you, take you in, or provide for you in old age.

We can look at this in terms of the individual family, or in terms of the larger society and its economic forces.

Individual relationships: Yes, having family increases the odds that someone will give a shit, but it is no guarantee -- and it is less of a guarantee, the less people care about their parents and relatives.

(Which is not going to be a good path to go down in an era of weaker states and nonexistent social services. The Family is going to have to step into that gap, as it does in many other societies, if people are going to have anything. And, (transnational) cultures in which people are able to organize in this way are going to do better than those that don't.)

Society and economics: If there is simply a general shortage of kids (regardless of whether they are your kids), that eventually shows up as rising prices for labor -- including the "caring labor" you pay for in an assisted living complex (or whatever). If that gets more expensive, then having grandma move in becomes comparatively more reasonable. But if grandma has no grandkids, then grandma definitely doesn't have that option.
