That was one factor. There was no single cause, but a fragile interconnected web of factors.

But yes, subprime loans were carved up and repacked in a way to make them look like AAA bonds. The banks that created these bonds knew that the loans in the bonds were crap; they knowingly lied to investors about it. The ratings agencies stamped all the bonds without any due diligence. Other banks piled on more derivative products on top of those bonds, essentially gambling on whether those bonds would go bad.

There was a slime-trail of fraud, laziness, and greed all the way back the original loan itself.

> We've successfully amended it 27 times

18 times (Articles 3-12 of the proposed Bill of Rights were ratified simultaneously and became Amendments 1-10; article 2 took 201 more years, and Article 1, though it was once one state away from ratification, has still not been ratified and is 27 states short.)
Yeah. I stand by anyone can say whatever they want. Just because there’s a lynch mob, doesn’t mean it’s right.
> … prosecutorial discretion is an important safety mechanism to prevent people in odd edge cases … from getting unjustly maimed by the legal apparatus.

I agree, but there needs to be a mostly-automatic mechanism whereby repeated exercise of this discretion affects the law itself, so that you don't create the opposite problem: people getting unjustly maimed by the legal apparatus because a prosecutor decided to use their "discretion", for whatever reason, to enforce an obsolete law which was still on the books even though it's almost never enforced. (Because legislators apparently have better things to do than repeal old laws which aren't affecting hardly anyone.)

A law which consistently goes unenforced should eventually become unenforceable, not remain discretionary. Consider this an application of the estoppel principle: If you choose not to enforce the law in cases A, B, and C, you shouldn't be able to later try to enforce it in case D without showing that there is some substantial difference between D and the first three cases.

Mandatory sunset clauses would be another good idea, along with a requirement that the entire bill, along with any external documents incorporated by reference (e.g. building codes), must be read into the official record with a quorum of the legislature present before it can be passed or renewed.
Update: fixed formatting

A lot of times the jQuery syntax is easier to understand (IMO).

Remove element exmample:

jQuery API:

$('.element').remove()

DOM API:

document.querySelector('.element').parentNode.removeChild(document.querySelector('.element'))

or if you want to introduce another variable just to remove the element:

const child = document.querySelector('.element');
child.parentNode.removeChild(child);

Create element example:

jQuery API:

const fooElement = $('<div class="foo" style="display: none">')

DOM API:

const fooElement = document.createElement('div');
fooElement.classList.add('foo');
fooElement.setAttribute('style', 'display: none');

This is bold claim. Can anyone else back this up? Does it apply to other major cloud providers? Does it only apply to startups?
People do talk about it, it is not a big deal to most people so most don't freak out about it. Processor and system architectures are also evolving, faster chips that are more prone to errors aren't necessarily the answer.

> Back when I wrote C and C++ for a living I'd occasionally meet someone who thought their ability to employ the spiral rule or parse a particularly dense template construct meant they were a genius. I get the same vibe from certain other groups in this industry, most recently from functional programmers and Rust afficionados, for example. Nobody gives a damn if you can narrate a C spiral or a functional-like Rust idiom.

I think one problem is dealing with "just because you can doesn't mean you should". It is easy to be nerd-sniped into optimizing everything in Rust. I've seen complain about an arg parser using dynamic dispatch when anything the program actually does will dwarf the time that that takes. I feel we need a reset; a stdlib-alternative that optimized for those learning and prototyping at the cost of performance. I suspect people using that will help break them of the feeling to optimize the trivial but to instead focus on what profilers tell them.
Oh, yeah, the article has all of the info. It just claims to be debunking something in the headline and it actually goes on to demonstrate that the claim is basically true.
I'm curious what that assumption is based on. Rust and Nim are pretty different, and both of them have features that the other doesn't even try to have.
I was able to reach the author using Gmail, fwiw.
Also, the larger the contract the bigger you need to be to attempt to bid on it. I could bid on building the proverbial bikeshed (as a programmer it wouldn't make economic sense, but I could do the work), but no way could I bid a bridge. However if you break the bridge down there are a number of operations I could bid on and get done. However that breakdown requires more oversight and work on the governments par, so for a bridge that is probably too much breakdown. Somewhere there is a point where projects are too big, and thus only the big 5 dare bid on them, we need to break projects down smaller than that, but not too small.

It will be harder for startups than other companies.

The 'storm' will be focused heavily on capital and so all that liquidity will tighten up.

Big waves up, big waves down.

Healthcare won't miss a beat.
In terms of free capital flows with no fixed exchange rate, this is the "it works until it doesn't" part of the problem. DAI only survived the recent run because they had a rainy-day fund in their "PSMs" or Peg Stability Modules.

The PSM takes your USDC and mints new DAI and gives it to you. When DAI is >$1 you can make an instant profit doing this. (take 1 USDC, trade it for 1 DAI that you can sell for $1.001.)

The PSM takes your DAI and gives you USDC (while stocks last.) When DAI is >$1 you can make an instant profit doing this. (buy 1 DAI trading at $0.999, and swap it for 1 USDC worth $1.)

Notice the issue? The PSM within DAI is contingent on having enough USDC (proxy for USD) to keep the peg. When that reserve runs out, the PSM mechanism breaks and the peg fails.

To suggest otherwise is financial alchemy.

Because I have not written my own memory model,

What does that even mean? A memory model isn't a library.

why are you refuting them when you cannot explain why they are wrong?

There is no evidence to refute. You keep making claims with no explanation, no reasoning and no evidence at all. This isn't how reality works. When you claim something the burden of proof is on you. Extraordinary claims (like java being 12 times faster than C or C++) require extraordinary evidence. You gave zero evidence.

The best way to do atomic (and avoid cache misses in one go) is to use primitive arrays (char/int/float)

This is you repeating the same thing (even though it makes no sense), this isn't evidence.

This isn't even how CPUs or their instructions work. Data types only matter in atomic math instructions on integers, but you lumped floats in there for some reason too. Arrays have nothing to do with it (atomic should have been a clue). Why do you believe this?

so C++ has zero value, I'm going back to C.

What is it that makes any difference here? Why can't you demonstrate anything with an actual program? Use godbolt.org and you can prove what you're saying.

The guy quoted in the first quote is the proffessor that rewrote the whole JVM with a new memory model to add concurrent package in 1.5, if you don't believe him you are on you own.

I believe actual evidence. You seem to have so little understanding of these things that if this person knows what they are talking about, you must not understand what they are saying. Show something instead of making insane claims.

I'm still waiting for C++ guys to actually use Java on the server and still claim C++ is better. crickets

I use C++ 'on the server' but it's bizarre that you think this has anything to do with the conversation. The things you keep saying are not just technically incorrect, they have no connection to how anything actually works.
Ask HN: Non-US Person Incorporating in the US
I have two questions to non-us startup founders who incorporated in the US:

1. Can I as a non-US citizen own an LLC and "work" for the LLC as an owner outside the US (meaning invoicing to customers in EU from the LLC)?

2. How did you guys managed to work for your US startup as a non-US citizen, without a working visa?

Much of that depends on how long and deep the recession goes on, and the extent to which investors are forced to sell even high-quality assets to meet cash obligations.

I taught myself just last year to use the trackpoint because I was curious. I turned it off at the BIOS, etc. just to make me use it exclusively. Once I got over the hump, I was surprised. I don't want keyboards anymore without it. I developed a strong muscle memory for it over the year. I'm a grouchy quirky old man, but when it comes to trackpoints, I am new to this quirk :D

The main Rust syntax is OK, but as the author points out, macros are a mess.

The "cfg" directive is closer to the syntax used in ".toml" files than to Rust itself, because some of the same configuration info appears in both places. The author is doing something with non-portable cross platform code, and apparently needs more configuration dependencies than most.
The case for it seems strong, but it's pretty strewn about.

There is an issue you need to be aware , be careful if you hide the fact that this collection is "live". I mean this part from the docs

>An HTMLCollection in the HTML DOM is live; it is automatically updated when the underlying document is changed. For this reason it is a good idea to make a copy (eg. using Array.from) to iterate over if adding, moving, or removing nodes.

The ideology that led to this and other war atrocities was Western imperialism. State Shinto[0] blended the Imperial government's authoritarian doctrine with religion in a similar way that Nazism did with German culture, but was more a matter of propaganda than religion. In particular, emperor worship was an invention of the state and not an aspect of traditional Shinto practice.

> It's not rule by the minority

Yes the systematic unequal representation in (in descending order of inherent distortion, though abuse of state-level control of apportionment in the latter case means it's not always descending order of actual distortion) the Senate, Electoral College, and House all favor essentially the same geopgraphy and thus the same political faction so long as ideology isn't geographically homogeneous. This favors stable minority rule.
The most practical effect from my perspective (engineer that has to deal with regulatory permitting and compliance) is that it will hopefully act as an incentive for agencies to better cooperate with applicants, to do so in a timely manner, and to prevent permitting demands from going beyond what's explicitly required by statute.

Even where it's currently clear that administrative agencies don't have authority to deny a given permit application, they often have the ability to delay it indefinitely, or demand superfluous reqs[0] be met before approval. (Since current caselaw requires a 'final administrative decision' before being able to appeal to an Article III court, an indefinite delay is essentially a loophole for agencies to wrongly "deny" a permit while avoiding judicial review.)

Agencies will want to avoid court cases setting precedent that might broadly affect internal administrative regs/policy beyond the case at hand, and therfore the future overall autonomy of the agency. (Notwithstanding the current lawfare abuse of agencies entering consent decrees premised on feigned controversy.)

Court rulings would also better bind agencies to previous decisions, and better prevent permit revocation for arbitrary or political purposes (see Keystone XL revocation).

[0] For example, permits for natural gas pipeline compressor stations are currently only being approved if they are powered by electric motors, instead of (the traditional method) of NG turbines ("self powered" by siphoning a portion of the fuel being pumped). Even if you presume CO2 emissions fall under current EPA clean air act authority (they don't), the requirement doesn't actually reduce net CO2 emissions with respect to the project's environmental impact, since it just means a small amount of NG is consumed at a different point source, instead of further downstream.

Not only does this not reduce the overall NG consumption (and therefore not affect net CO2 produced), but it adds embedded and operating inefficiencies, as well unnecessary points of failure. (see: Texas deep freeze blackouts where some NG "backup" infrastructure failed because it required grid power to operate. Especially true in remote areas lacking any electrical infra like offshore/aggregating compressor stations.)

Here, the EPA uses permitting power to implement supralegal political policy beyond the statutory requirements, by stretching policy logic far beyond what would survive the most basic judicial review. Under the status quo, judicial review is almost always an additional cost to the applicant beyond the expensive initial permit application.

Judicial relief (or the threat thereof) that potentially pre-empts some of those bureaucratic costs would be a real game changer for both private projects and public infrastructure, in terms of both roi and time/effort to implement.
Don't forget about proc macros.

If they don't, I wonder if one of the auditing commands should support drawing attention to build.rs and proc macros like this.
Being able to talk directly between peers has advantages. Most services today basically require some kind of arbiter who has a public IP address.

While there are ways to poke holes in NAT, it’s not really scalable. Also, you might be behind more than one level of NAT and not even realize it today. eg: When I ask a website for my IP, it shows something different than what my hotspot is assigned… and my hotspot is not reporting an RFC1918 address. This means I am already sharing ports with someone else on the public IPv4 address that the world sees. Also, no http proxy in the middle here.

As for obscurity of addresses, NAT is pretty easily guessed in most scenarios today. IPv6 has far more address space per network making it really hard to scan. That combined with privacy addresses that change constantly is a pretty compelling reason to use IPv6 over IPv4+NAT if what you care about is people not being able to guess your IP.
At my last job, we had an organically-developed years-old tradition of what we called "adventure lunch," a weekly outing where one attendee would nominate someone to choose another restaurant for next time. The shared experience of a brief walk was nice. There was no expectation that anyone would go and no judgment associated with nonattendance on a particular day.

We hired this director-level engineering manager who took it upon himself to commandeer the slack channel we had previously used to coordinate these outings, to dictate that they were now daily, and to dictate that he was in charge of choosing the location every day.

Covid quickly made the specific point moot, but they have since suffered nearly complete turnover in the engineering organization.

That seems long for a 5000sqft house: I'd expect 150 days max from the time the hole is dug until the owner moves in. (smaller houses would be 100 days). You didn't specify what kind of structure it is though, some types of construction need more time.

Most people who complain about people standing around have no idea what is going on. Half of the time someone is moving materials they are completely empty handed going back to the pile for more materials.

The main thing money buys is peace of mind, which isn't happiness exactly but it's hard to be happy when you are stressed. This includes all the other things that can bring peace of mind like owning a home/land (less worried about rent increases or getting kicked out), having a full pantry (no worries about food scarcity), paying for further skills training (less worry about job security).

Could help with mental health too, hire a therapist(most of us could use it even just a little), get medicated if needed.

It can also help your social life which makes you happier, things like going out to eat with friends, going to concerts, going on dates, getting drinks with the guys, taking a vacation with a SO.

It can also help with health, hiring a nutritionist or trainer, hormone optimization, supplements, necissary surgeries or even cosmetic ones.

It can shape perception of those around you which can open up new opportunites, like dressing well in well tailored clothes or name brand stuff, having a nice car, seeing a hairstylist every other week, get your hands manicured, eyebrows trimmed, body hair removed.

It can make you feel like a good person and actually be true sometimes, like donating to people/orgs, investing in neighborhoods, helping supply a worthy cause (like donating to the EFF), investing in funds with a purpose (like making the world better), helping support the development of new technologies.

It can help you be more effective, hire a secretary or other teams of people that support you (it's why hollywood stars can look good when older, they have literal teams of people making them look good), you can buy that software/device that does that thing you need.

But if you need something to lift your mood immediately, go experience something which can be bought too. Go play around on a jetski, take a trip to Bali, hire an event planner to throw a party for you.
