> Non-Tesla charging stations are notoriously inconvenient, unreliable, and slow to charge

All my arguments are geographically based. In Oregon, this is not the case. In the last three years, I've never pulled up to a CCS charger and had all chargers be out of service or sub-50kw. Rarely have I ever had to wait in line for such a charger. As no adapter is necessary, I consider this superior to Tesla. There are towns we frequent on the Oregon coast that are far from any Tesla chargers, but are dotted with CCS chargers. When my friend comes with us and brings his Model 3, he has to take at least one detour that's over a half hour each way so that he can charge for the trip home. We do not have to do this.

Adapters are a good stopgap but not everyone has one, because they're somehow not stock with the car.
I always assumed it was a ritual sacrifice to telegraph a message to investors that a company is reducing operating costs to pollish the annual report.

This is also why employees should be nervous about firms that sync a hiring cycle with Q2/May.

In the US, a CEO must make the profitable decision, or face direct legal peril. It often has nothing to do with the character of those on the board. ;)
When someone is whatabouting the WWII atomic attacks in order to pretend that the Holodomor is normal and fine, then yes, it's exactly the defense I think it is. There's an order of magnitude (or two, depending on which sources you take seriously) of difference in casualties. Further, one was an act of war on military targets, and the other doesn't even have that "justification," whether you consider it a justification or not.
It’s a bit surprising if they spend a lot of effort complaining about banks
Most of the rules of civilization are centered around preventing the 20% predators from devouring the 80% normal people.
Maybe I'm more cynical than most but those tweets to me feel like they will be used as evidence in the future to argue that he didn't really have the full picture what was going at FTX and that it was really the Alameda people or the devs etc behind everything.
'Testbed for CBDCs' and 'black budget money laundering' seem like compelling explanations for the stunning regulatory forbearance (so far) to me. I've also seen speculation that FTX/SBF were intentionally allowed to create Ponzi bubbles of epic proportions in order to discredit decentralized digital currency and make it radioactive in most of the public's mind.
According to the latest reports, SBF is potentially on the run on a private jet [0] from the Bahamas to (probably) Argentina. He hasn't been confirmed to be on that plane, but it seems likely. This stuff is straight out of movie.

Is it that difficult to read the article? It is not about GRH.
The author offers no evidence for said "trouble" other than the existance of a similar free offering at github. Clickbait.
Just a note that the "loop over lines of stdin and do some basic calculations" use case highlights probably one of the places where it's really easy to blow up Nim's performance benefits -- string or seq copies. :/

The issue is that Nim's string library ends up making copies when doing things. It's a sane default and ensures sane behavior. However, it often leads beginner's to make slower programs, sometimes even slower than equivalent Python ones. If you used `strcopy` in C a lot, you'd get similar results.

Often the solution is trivial and is just to use the `var` or `openArray[T]` variants of proc's. It's one of the points in the blog post and is crucial for good real time code. I'm hopeful the new `lent` and `view` features will make it easier to use non-copy slices on strings. That'd be nice!
Is it?

Maybe this is part of the hardening of these systems? Part of the evolution which grows a thicker skin?

What about all the trials of traditional currencies we all know and love?

Not really a crypto fanboy, but I'm not sure this means the end of anything.
This isn't a crypto failure. Crypto works.

This is a human failure. FTX didn't collapse because of the technology. It collapsed because of human error.

The fix is rather simple. If an organization looks like a bank and quacks like a bank; it should be regulated like a bank.
A real good takeaway here is how even a single gap in compliance controls can lead to unbounded failures, here I think largely access controls and tracking.

If an exec can just go and cook the books, or like sbf did, "secretly transfer 4bn to alameda", it doesn't matter if you have strict auditors. It doesn't matter if you have compliance and control rules around comingling. This will literally never be visible to anyone in your exchange since their data source is fundamentally wrong.

Nothing they did was proper or legal in the first place! It's already quite regulated in that regard. But they were able to do so in the first place since the required compliance frameworks weren't completely in place.
Sam "Bank Run Fraud"
> Musk is banning people who make fun of him

No. He's banning accounts which are impersonating others, and such accounts are now required to add "Parody" to their name to avoid confusing users. I welcome this policy change, as well as the democratization of verification marks.
CEOs are also going to face significant budget scrutiny and will have to really justify signing a 10 year lease (which won't be cheap) instead of investing in things that are proven to drive growth.

Class A office space outside of super expensive cities runs about $35/sqft on average. Employees need about 175 square feet each. So every employee is $6125 more expensive -- but that's only assuming you're renting someplace turnkey, which you probably aren't, so even if you cheap out at an additional $100/sqft ($17,500 per employee) for a custom build-out (one-time cost, but still).

Where is all this money coming from? If your business is perfectly functional remote, with capital costs being what they are, why would you do this?
That is at least in part an urban legend:

https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/04/16/what-are-co...

The CEO might still get complaints, but legally there is no obligation.
yeah, no, dude. Fuck the mandatory office the same way fuck the meetings that could have been an email.

HTML4 was the last of "HTML-is-an-SGML-application" (that was the terminology when you define a document type with a SGML DTD) attempt before XHTML 1.0 came out.

SGML is what allows implicit closing tags, for instance.

Of course, even XHTML failed because it was too strict and browsers couldn't trust websites with following it to the letter, so we ended up with HTML as of today: clearly coming out of both, but not really either of them anymore.
That's not how burden of proof works. You can't just brain fart random numbers and then demand others disprove it.
Most? That's an understatement.

The rules that aren't are so few they may as well be rounding errors lost in noise.
No, you made a straight up false claim. He was merely estimating at an unknown.
It’s pretty common for apps to load some external content from a server to show to the user. This is useful in part because it allows you to update the content without going through the slow app review process. Potentially, if your backend got hacked, the hackers could change this content.

Your description reminded me of a book:
The Great Game of Business - Jack Stack

It describes employee-owned companies and frames the type of spinoff you described as a positive investment, mutually beneficial, to re-leverage debt and provide growth for leaders that are blocked.

Obviously I don't know the situation and the mindset of leadership, but I wouldn't ridicule what you suggested as stealing their IP. They're getting a % ownership in a company in hopes of it becoming a valuable asset -they'd be making a choice.
> * It's in "go big or go broke" mode. After a year you're probably going to know which. Better than spending a decade working for a zombie.

Crypto that doesn’t suffer from these kinds of failures is boring. It looks like traditional banking with a different API. Exciting maybe for banking nerds, but not so much for anyone else. Ultimately though blockchain ledgers will probably only be long term useful for record keeping between small closed groups of independent entities like banks settling overnight balances between themselves. It’s never going to be entirely algorithmic as there is always the chance of mistake or failure which needs human judgement to correct.

I don't think this is a parody either, this is like saying the easiest way to format text is to use Word, then poo-ing html...

Maybe to someone who only knows "modern web dev" it seems like a parody, most people don't start with "let's learn 10 overcomplex frameworks and use a template generator which only takes one step".

For generating horrible bloated apps as fast as possible you may have something "easy", I will probably never use vercel, I'm much more likely to write a script and expose it on a port somewhere.

Unless I've misgauged vercel and you can feed it a python script or something...
And extraordinary rendition.

TBH if you look at the data the US doesn't extradite that liberally. Even the Liberian torturer son of Charles Taylor or whatever was safe in the Caribbean despite being extraditable; as long as you didn't commit murder or do something big on the public radar or make political enemies or steal too much money I get the impression the US government doesn't try too hard. But they will definitely try to extradite this fella.
CCS 2 is a different discussion, because at least it supports something the Tesla connector doesn't, 3 phase charging.
This is just criminal behavior. There's plenty of fraudsters in the financial system.

Am I right with my readings (i'm not a dev guy at all)?
I’d really like to know what the numbers are for the company I work for. Even if they rent a building in a business park (because there is not enough room on campus for a group), they will completely revamp the building from top to bottom and make it completely bespoke. The last time I worked in one of these buildings, they brought in artists who spent a week stenciling words and artwork over a concrete wall. How much did that cost?

Why would the CIA and FBI care? It's not like they are going to send Navy SEALs after him. This is a DoJ matter, and the most they will do is file extradition requests. If the country he is in decides to ignore them, well that's about it.

The real problem with Fediverse is we’ve already seen how people will use it ala Facebook and Twitter.

I don’t get to goto work and engineer essentially the same product 2007 engineered.

It’s a rehash of a rehash of an idea that will become another social landfill.

Really looking forward to the technology equivalent of another Star Wars or Batman trilogy!
the jelly one is incredible!!!
What has happened with Mastodon recently feels like a great thing for the fediverse. Many of these platforms are still working out their implementation kinks, but they aren't babies anymore. Just when I thought ActivityPub might never catch on, a significant number of people have decided to give it a chance.

Makes me want to implement some ActivityPub features on my own site, so I can get in on the fun!
Sure, but your onboarding flow popup buttons? I don’t think app review allows those to be loaded from a website
Really? I thought the share dilution scams were only viable in places like the TSX, and that was why many avoided the foreign exchange in favor of US firms.
I’m not either! Just wanted to point out that the “zero reserves” thing is a bit more complex than purely what US banks are required to keep as cash in the reserve requirements).

Further, from the announcement that lead to this, it seems that the reserve requirement is zero because the mechanisms have changed. The reserve requirements appear to have applied specifically to reserve accounts held centrally at the federal reserve.

To me this looks very much like a ‘scare’ factoid that can be latched onto and shared in order to persuade people that the banking system is way more fragile than it is, and that it’s collapse is either imminent or inevitable.

OMG zero reserves! Dig a bit deeper and that’s partially true and perhaps not all that important, and represents a technical change in operations rather than the massive risk increase it gets portrayed as.
> Like is this a psyop to destroy crypto

Why would the government get their hands dirty when crypto can self-implode on its own.
In the short term – yes. More broadly though, large-scale frauds like this one will only result in increasing government scrutiny and regulation, which can actually be good for the crypto investment ecosystem.

How do you know self hosting people do the thing you're suggesting?
Higher management doesn't know who is productive and who isn't.
The good lower-level managers have that visibility, and let's say the poor (or mediocre) managers don't.

But whoever has that visibility, they would have already taken steps to get rid of underperformers and replace them with good performers. Therefore good managers have disproportionately good people.

So when the senior management says "everyone lay 10% off", the good managers lay off good and bad people, and the poor managers lay off random people. The result is lots of good people get laid off, even if everyone is trying to avoid that.

Ask HN: Where can one learn about boring web development?
Context (skippable):

If you want to learn web development today and you use Google—even with the “one weird trick” of appending ”reddit” to your searches—all you find are micro-services, serverless/lambdas, >1M react packages, >10M npm packages, and >100M tutorials of how to do yet another to-do list with MongoDB or Firebase or the amazing marvel that is using SSR/CSR with Vercel.

For the sake of over-simplification, let's call this exciting web development. Now, where can I learn about the other side of the spectrum?

Request:

Is there an insanely pragmatic website or book containing everything you need to know when creating production-ready (yet simple!) web applications?

I am talking about HTML5, CSS3, modern JS (do you even need it? and if so, how does simple javascript look like?); `cron` jobs; database persistence; difference/explanations of when to use bare-metal v. vps v. vm; what there is to know about reverse-proxying and load balancers and how to correctly setup and deploy those and so on?

Your figures sound about right, based on my experience.

In London, the cost per employee I’ve used is £15k pa. That includes office space and maintenance, taxes, plus IT costs, entertainment, HR, etc.

The cost for fully remote employees is £9k pa. That is, the cost of the office is £6K per employee.

There are additional costs for remote employees, like remote support. But these balance against not having to buy office furniture, pay for cleaning, etc.
He stole from rich people. Madoff made the same mistake. Parallel construction is how the CIA would be involved helping the FBI or foreign police to nab him. I'm just pointing out that his threat model has now increased by several orders of magnitude. He'll never get away from this unless he does an Epstein.
Not just open office. My company doesn’t even have fixed seating. Basically you show up and wander around until you find an open desk. You have to take all your stuff with you if you need to go to a meeting or to lunch. It is ridiculous.
Because they're out of touch
When I was running a startup there were lots of times when I felt kind of lost and it's very tempting to listen to things like this because they seem plausible. It's a huge mistake.

This kind of generic armchair general "advice"[1] is everywhere when you run a company and is basically completely useless because every company is a complex and unique special case and if you're in charge you don't have to make the decision that would on average be the right decision for companies of your type, you have to make the best decision you can for your specific situation. This goes double for people decisions because they have a huge impact on those affected so it behooves you to take the time to really do your utmost to do it right.

"Not gonna" is wildly different from "cannot". So are you sure they physically cannot use your funds? If that's not the case, their promise is worth just the price of sending that email to you.
