But there's no multiplier as you describe it. It appears though. First deposit $1M. Then create that loan for 800k, and deposit it right back in the same bank. Now the bank has $1M versus 800k loans so the reserve is back above the 20 percent reserve requirement. We don't even need to work out the math, just keep repeating the process with smaller loans until we reach our limit at the reserve, which clearly must be (the very same) $1M in deposits, and the max of $4M loans, making for $5M total. Accounting rules to prevent this being done by a single bank alone just means it takes more banks trading loans to get the same effect. Rather than a wonky description of the rules, basic econ class still has the variations covered.
Its difficult to read the 'wrong' book, but its definitely easy to waste time reading lists you may never be able to recite, leverage, or even remember you read.

i must be missing something, but how does this even remotely check out?:

> Leverage is the ratio of your liabilities to your equity. Simple division. Fourth grade math. If you have $110 million in assets and $100 million in liabilities you, by subtraction, have $10 million in equity against your $100 million in liabilities. You are said to be levered 10:1.

how are you levered 10:1 when assets > liabilities? really feel like i am missing something.
all crypto is rife with red flags.
Another challenge is to keep in mind that it all has to be granular, performant, and work at scale.

I'll hop on here in a vain hope too.

I want to buy a Theranos Edison machine and am willing to pay. If you know anyone that has one, parts of one, or anything like that, my email is in my bio and I am very happy to talk to you.

I intend to take a small portion of it, melt it into steel ingots, and include it in 'Order of the Engineer' rings for myself and my colleagues who are also engineers.

We are looking for physical equipment in which engineers screwed up and the general public paid a high price for it, as a reminder to ourselves that our work is meaningful and is one of service to the people we serve with our efforts. If you know of any equipment that may fit that bill, I am looking to pay for that too.
Yes, used different messages max sizes, with 2000 characters got the best speed but got the account banned, using 20000 is a great middle term and not banned for now, could get banned anyway, its an educational project
This has to be the most tone-deaf strain of journalism I've seen made on the topic.

Everyone knows that brands (personal and commercial) aren't cool. They aren't our friends. They're self-interested and often insincerely masquerade as being in the public interest, whilst polluting social consciousness with noise. They are also often humorless and tone-deaf. Well calibrated people don't and shouldn't care about the safety of brands from ridicule. And, it happens that ridiculing and embarrassing brands is quite amusing.

Surely even the worst journalists who churn out advertorials see that there is no sympathy to be had here by going "think of those poor, suffering brands bu-hu".

> I surely hope not, learning English is much much easier than Mandarin for a good 60% of the world : anyone speaking a language using the latin alphabet

As well as the writing system, there is another factor: Mandarin is tonal, English isn't. If your native language is non-tonal (true of roughly 50% of the world population), trying to learn a tonal language is an extra challenge on top of the general challenge of trying to learn another language. Your brain just isn't used to considering tone as semantically significant.
It's cool, thank you for humoring me! Despite the lack of tact (obvious in hindsight), I mean no harm, offense, or disrespect.

I actually really enjoy learning about other languages and cultures.
yes absolutely. if you look at the crypto communities censoring dissenters was key to their fraud
Because I'm responding to the scenario you actually laid out, not counterfactuals.
I've golfed my assembler for the Nand2Tetris assembly language down to 714 bytes of Python3. Sure I use some cheap tricks (like single-letter variable names, or writing 16384 as 4*7 to save a byte) but more surprisingly, it forced me to write in a completely different style.

When your whole program/algorithm comfortably fits on the screen it affords the unique ability to program "in the large" and "in the small" simultaneously. Bugs can't hide. My assembler contains an "elif" without a closing "else", which would normally bother me. But since I can see it all at once I can judge it in context and weigh its purpose against my aesthetics.

I'd recommend golfing some toy program down until you are sure it is as small as it can possibly be, it's a cool experience.
How do you define inflation? It went up, but slower.

Different places have different seasons. Some places have monsoon season, parts of New England have mud season. Referring to a time period based on what the weather is like for a significant portion of the year makes sense when that is a relevant part of the comparison.

Winter official definition is basically “astronomical Q1” which honestly isn’t all that useful in most cases. (It’s a bit stupid that our months, major holidays, and year almost but not quite align with the astronomical milestones).
GCP has "Workload Identity" as an analogue to IRSA for a little while now.

What I appreciate about GCP's IAM is that it seems to work well with simple ACLs vs. needing a lot of conditional policies, but this is probably because it strongly encourages folder and project structure to define different permission domains.

Still no capability model unfortunately. The closest I have seen is SPIFFE (https://spiffe.io/docs/latest/spiffe-about/overview/) which tries to tie most permissions to the identity of the requester using a policy engine instead of direct capabilities, but without broad support in... anything, it requires a ton of proxies to existing resources to work as anything other than a service mesh. It is also not as fine-grained as capabilities, but I think it's a reasonable first step since in a distributed software ecosystem the question of what owns a capability is definitely tied up in the identity of a thing running (probably virtualized) on something somewhere, as opposed to within a single operating system where the kernel can conveniently track identity/ownership.
To be fair, there is no bundled or built in app in windows 11 that associates with or can view webp by default. Edge can, but that's not a photo app, and you have to explicitly tell it to (open with) or explicitly associate it with that file type. In other words, it's not natively supported in the current version of Windows.

That's a trivial "problem" for the HackerNews audience, but it's a pain point for webp with the broader windows audience.
So much Dunning Kruger in the discussions about nuclear energy again. What a feast!
That ratio tells you how much faster you make or lose money under an asset price movement. That is, if you’re 11:1 leveraged, a 0.01% increase in asset price is a 0.11% increase in your net equity.
One third of FTX fees were used to buy and burn FTT tokens. This is nearly the same as stock buybacks, and makes it a security, i.e. an instrument that derives its value from the success of a business.
Additionally lobster were at one point in history seen as vermin, to the point where there were laws about how often they could be fed to prisoners because it was seen as inhumane to feed them such low quality food. But now lobster is seen as high cuisine.

I think it means Jane Street likely hires with a lot of bias for elites and “twitchy” smart people. The CEO of Alameda was an intern there and invited back for a full time position. Hearing her speak in interviews makes it seem like she has no idea what she’s doing and not all that intelligent or thoughtful. So it’s weird that she, seemingly easily given she states in interviews that she had no trading experience prior to Jane Street, made it through their supposedly rigorous hiring process. It seems their hiring process may not be as rigorous or effective as they hoped, which seems obvious even looking at the process in a vacuum.
Is there any VR that works decently for people with glasses? I tried VR for the first time last week and it was quite annoying for me, both for how the glasses were handled and some blurry vision from time to time. I'd never try it again by choice.
yes, but I started putting dummy files in my apps because prospective employers thought the things I was working on were too small to be experience, based on the reported file sizes in app stores

no, I didn't dodge a bullet, I wanted money and they were fine work environments and I never dealt with the recruiters or hiring managers again when on the jobs

Ask HN: What kind of programming jobs involve some travelling?
Hi friends, Canadian here.

I have experience in Cloud Ops + ETL engineer but would like to introduce some travelling into work. I know consultants tend to work on a lot of different projects so they travel a lot. What other choices do I have? Is there any non-tech industry that I should reach out to?

By saying travelling I mostly mean out of city travelling (e.g. Toronto<->Edmonton).
Sorry, what? If you look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Australia#Prime_mi..., you can see that's not the case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Labor_Party_split_o... was a major cause in federal Labor not winning enough seats, and with the demise of the DLP and the rise of explicit faction control, it was possible for Labor to win majorities in the lower house (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Labor_Party#Federal... links to all the relevant elections).

Can you explain what's funny? This is exactly what they are supposed to be holding.

The problem would be if they didn't have the shitcoins and then their customers go to withdraw. Not the fact that they actually have the exact set of shitcoins they are liable for to their customers.
> If you want "crypto" or DeFi to succeed, you should be cheering with us when these assholes fall.

Oh, I am. I was taking issue with the ubiquitous shortsighted comments accompanying crypto threads that want to see crypto fail at every cost.

To your point, I don't necessarily want "crypto" to succeed, but innovation that is best for everyone. The financial system is certainly ripe for renewal and could be gutted. I'm not a fan of DeFi. While I might have missed something there as there is a lot of work being done, what I've seen simply reinvents the ongoing financialization of everything.

Tethering is mostly a relic of the late 2000's when 3G cellular networks were pretty sketchy; if enough people tethered back then it'd put a huge strain on the network for anyone on that tower. Nowadays the capacity is already planned out with tethering in mind (all tier A plans, eg. direct-from-carrier plans, have some amount of tethering), but it gets pretty murky when you consider people trying to tether on their MVNOs network at peak times/rush hour, really straining the capacity allocated to that MVNO, degrading the service for others.
That's questionable. From wiki [0]:

"A report in the Moscow Times quoted KGB veteran Vasily Pchelintsev as saying that there was a natural gas pipeline explosion in 1982, but it was near Tobolsk on a pipeline connecting the Urengoy gas field to the city of Chelyabinsk, and it was caused by poor construction rather than sabotage; according to Pchelintsev's account, no one was killed in the explosion and the damage was repaired within one day. Reed's account has also not been corroborated by intelligence agencies in the United States.

Another point of criticism of the sabotage allegations is that, according to Prof. V. D. Zakhmatov, an explosion safety expert who has overseen the safety measures on many of the Soviet oil and gas pipelines built in the 1980s, at the described timeframe Soviet Union simply didn't practice digital control of its pipeline system. Most of the control was manual, and whatever automation was used utilized the analog control systems, most of which worked through pneumatics."

If that's the case, we should definitely ban fossil fuel generation plants. Or at least, tax them heavily. Since they're the ones actually doing the "global harm".
The article asks the question without saying the obvious answer, which is that half the company is no longer there. There were actual moderators who's job it would have been to police this, and a sizable team is needed due to the size of the site. They still would have done an imperfect job, but when the team has been cut down to a 10th the size, you're gonna have a bad (read: hilarious) time.

The fact that the plant will be unable to buy gas for longer than anticipated should reduce the expected demand for gas. Less demand for gas, lower price for gas.

People were pricing gas on some expectation of this plant opening and consuming at some point in the future. If that's pushed back, the price should drop.
At least now we know. The sample size of the test was like the whole twitter user base and seemed to be quite negative but I imagine if they are considering it a bad idea then they must have some real data to now back it up. Cool
Yes that’s exactly what it means. HN is leaping to conclusions again.
I really wonder how much of the crypto valuation is simply due to exchanges/funds being allowed to take unrestricted risk with client funds.

I remember trying this (Also in Latin America with Zuckerberg's creepy old "internet.com" initiative to make his services free in the third world, which is a done and over with promotion by now at least in Costa Rica) and realizing that ICMP/DNS tunneling was faster and more reliable, you can only get like half-duplex TCP over whatsapp messages and then the frames are limited if you're going to fit them in per message to like 1,024 characters (Though it seems you got more in there?)... DNS or ICMP tunnelling further works on things like getting a foothold for checking your email in some far flung airport network with a broken/sketchy payment gateway, you REALLY need to check your email, and where that passes but nothing else does. Then there's the risk that they decide to ban your SIM chip as you mention, which is like a 2$ mistake in such regions but if you do it on your main number you're risking having to tell everyone "yeah i tried to hack whatsapp and they blocked my old number haha" because that's what they've funnelled everyone into using out there with this free data transfer deal on that platform.

By the way your implementation looks way nicer than what I was working with before.
Why tag anything at all? If the query is fast you may run the query again. This avoids migrating tags if the query gets modified/improved etc.
many other exchanges and wallets force users to store an address book of addresses associated with them. this user experience will result in deposits to their old addresses at FTX. there is nothing FTX can do to prevent that.
It’s so silly. Why would you make a scale logarithmic. Incredibly unintuitive and pointless. All reference scales should be linear.
At this point isn’t the actual concern that HN isn’t leaping to conclusions soon enough?

People were defending FTX after the acquisition announcement was made here and a whole bunch of people were calling foul on the article linked the day before which said that FTX was insolvent.
You mean like we used to do back in 'the Olden Days' before 2001?

> There is a great deal more to learning a language than its alphabet, and English is probably one of the worst languages to learn that use the Latin alphabet

No denying English spelling is particularly atrocious – but still easier than learning Chinese characters. The Chinese writing system is arguably the most difficult to learn of all writing systems in common modern use – even if your native language doesn't use the Latin alphabet, the Latin alphabet is going to be much easier to learn than the Chinese writing system is; even learning crazy inconsistent English spelling is likely easier.
Those stocks are all going to be correlated though. If one thinks LLY is going to drop because of insulin costs, it makes a ton of sense that other pharma companies would also drop at the same time.

You’re conflating correlation with an unknown externality.

Instead, we have a very public (fake) event that would have been major news if it were true.

It would be quite the coincidence if LLY stock started to drop due to an external report at the exact same time as a fake report of Lilly making insulin free. If that were to happen, of course other pharma companies stocks would also start shifting, either through automated trading or in response to a big market move from Lilly (which was false).

I see more than enough evidence to think that the entire shift was due to the fake Tweet. At the very least, that’s a reasonable conclusion.

We’ll never know for sure, because now with more scrutiny/publicity on the insulin market, that alone could keep pushing LLY stock down.

The only thing for certain is that this is bad news for the new Twitter.
I have a theory here. In times of growth the large companies will hire like crazy so that people don't work or create competing products. When times are tough they fire people who in turn will work on creating competing or revolutionary products. This is why you see revolutionary products during recession.
