Agreed. That was a huge part of the Theranos story. Balwani fired anyone who was critical of him or the idea (he was even worse than than Holmes and IMO deserves a longer sentence).

The book talked about a security guard who would be responsible for the daily firing, walking the person out of the building with their box of belongings was as normal as lunch.
Most banks are regulated by either the FDIC or NCUA, not the Fed. So the fed setting reserve rates doesn’t change anything for banks that, like, normal people use.
Additionally, I think you’re viewing reserve rates as the only way banks measure liquidity, which is not the case.

But, even if reserve requirements are zero, and banks are allowed to loan out every penny… they’re still not allowed to just make up money, that’s not how it works.

It’d be easy to gate this: require that the iOS device be connected to a Mac and a special app used to change “advanced” settings. These could include side loading, the ability to install alternate app stores, and low level OS access of various kinds.

It would be very helpful to developers and debugging too.
> self defense is not a defense in the eyes of public school administrators

While this is true, it's also obviously wrong, and the fact that it's widespread in our society makes it even more wrong. Rather than try to expound that in more detail, I'll just reference a post by The Last Psychiatrist that does the job better than I could anyway:

https://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/10/one_way_our_schools_...

The TL/DR is at the end:

"[W]hat kind of school doesn't want a kid to stand up to a bully, especially when they're doing it to help someone else? What kind of crazy school wants you to back down-- and get someone else to protect you? What kind of school indoctrinates kids that power is only possessed by a) bad people; b) the state?

Oh. All of them."
The way you stated this feeling remids me of Gell Mann Amnesia.

https://www.epsilontheory.com/gell-mann-amnesia/

“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”

The only senior living situation I've ever witnessed that actually seemed like an enviable one is the one my paternal grandparents lived in. Place reminded me a lot of my rather nice university living situation, but with significantly larger apartments. Communal spaces including several dining halls with appropriately nice food, activities both actively organized (trips, approachable hikes, various clubs, classes, guest lecturers) and simply available (sports courts, a wood shop, a gym with a pool). Basically, university for those with a lower tolerance for discomfort, with a significantly more busy health clinic.

Of course, that all came with the requirement of spending a not-so-small fortune. But it really demonstrates, to me at least, that the dichotomy between "living alone" and "wasting away in a care home that resembles a hospital" is a false one, a product of a cruel economic system more than anything else.
How many of the best engineers could Twitter possibly be employing? Other companies with sufficient cash might already have their share of the best.

This article discusses the recent departure of the World Health Organization's Chief Scientist, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, and her regret over some of the errors fueling the debate over whether SARS-CoV-2 spreads through airborne transmission.

Dr. Swaminathan noted that she believed it was possible for SARS-CoV-2 to spread through aerosolized particles, but that the WHO had communicated this message too late and not strongly enough.

She also discussed how important it is for countries to coordinate their strategies in order to fight pandemics more effectively, as well as how crucial it is for scientists around the world to work together on solutions rather than be divided by political considerations.

From Wikipedia:
>Latinx is a neologism in American English which is used to refer to people of Latin American cultural or ethnic identity in the United States. The gender-neutral ⟨-x⟩ suffix replaces the ⟨-o/-a⟩ ending of Latino and Latina that are typical of grammatical gender in Spanish. Its plural is Latinxs.
White people don't like that the language is gendered, so instead of Latina (female) and Latino (male) they told everyone they should be using Latinx and it stuck.

I've seen a number of Hispanic people get irritated that people are trying to take away from their culture and language, and others that say they don't care.
Based on experience I’d say that focusing on the wrong staff-metrics is worse than under-staffing.

For example marking employees by how quickly they “process” someone (aka Handle Time) actually incentivizes employees to not listen, to tell people the wrong information, and to push them to be somebody else’s problem. The customer who might have taken 10min now takes 5 here, 10 there, 20 over there, 20 min of a supervisor’s time, and countless minutes taking up space in the various lines waiting to be told something else.

If a system runs like that it almost doesn’t matter how much staff they have because all those staff feel overworked and overskilled.

I think you are confusing crypto with the layers on top of it. Lending via crypto is a dubious practice as it needs to tie into the physical world. Interest being paid on loans is an aspect of finance that some areas of crypto are recreating and failing at miserably, as they should, for obvious reasons.

I love Julia for personal use but I couldn't imagine using it on a team. The developer experience is quite poor: it's very hard to figure out where all the overloads of your functions are coming from (the import system just dumps all exported symbols by default), error message and stack traces are pretty meh, and there is currently very little static analysis in IDEs.

I tend to use it the same way I'd use Jupyter notebooks. If something were mission critical I'd be wary of using Julia for it unless it's absolutely the best tool for the job.

The last printer I bought (HP LaserJet Pro m254dw) seems to do it right.

My black cartridge is at 0% and has been for a while. The supply status printout says something to the effect of "Just because it says 0% doesn't mean it's empty, keep printing until the quality is unacceptable." I ordered a new cartridge about a year ago, but haven't installed it yet because I'm not seeing any quality problems. I don't print much though, so it'll likely sit there for another year (or more).

that's exactly what I commented, and the comment was downvoted, contradicted, flagged, and has vanished (really, deleting comments ? is that what this site is about ? I thought is was a site for the open minded ) (edit : it was folded, not deleted. but still)

I share the same perspective, but I'm surprised by everything that is happening around.

Users on Tweeter and some crypto websites are speculating and investigating on how ftx got a banking license (shouldn't they have done it in the first place, before they invested ?)

They're also defiant to the media (as in the intro of the featured article)

And posts on HN about the very nature of the crypto industry are hot.

I find all of that pretty amateurish yet still convinced, after seeing both the wave of tech guys who believed in cryptos for what you said, then of more or less proud 'crypto bros' who just saw a financial opportunity, with hardly any financial, tech, or political knowledge. The former didn't see the latter come in and ruin their usage of the crypto, and the latter ignored the warnings from specialized journalists

What is happening right now is very interesting to watch.
I've spent two years to get a better paid job before I could have more money to invest, so I'll watch around to learn.

I've already seen basically the same, on documentaries about Wirecard.

The first lesson I'll take will be about being humble, being able to listen outside of bubbles, and to take criticism without flaming other commenters.
The second one will be that collapses can arrive very fast. The poor investors lost everything in a snap. It looks pretty bad
Skipping theatrical releases seems crazy to me. I think knowing some people are paying $10 to see a movie actually makes being able to watch it at home seem more valuable. Because otherwise it just feels like you get to watch something that would be on some other cable channel or free service.

I also feel like the long-term math is off. There are movies that came out in the early 2000s which I have never seen that I still have a sense of (and would consider watching) because I remember the ads for them when they came out. With Netflix now if I dont care enough to watch something when it first comes out then in even 3 years its going to have no appeal.
Thanks TIL. That would be helpful information for the reporter to include too.

> “One possible explanation for these results is that parents are doing a good job matching their decisions to give their kids phones to their child’s and family’s needs,” Robinson said. “These results should be seen as empowering parents to do what they think is right for their family.”

This was my immediate thought. Self-selection (and other forms of non-random selection) is the bane of psychology studies. One cannot draw as broad a conclusion from this study as the title would imply. It has the important qualification that these were children that the parents deemed ready.

It is still a nice study to see, and may be rightfully reassuring to parents.

I worked at a company that did this with Python and Terraform. Another great benefit is being able to rollout product changes based on customers risk tolerance. Some customers will be more interested in new features while others will prefer stability. On the engineering side, you can do canary-style rollouts to each isolated environment

Some enterprise customers will want special features or configurations that might not make sense for everyone else this setup also makes a lot easier (special network connectivity like IP allowlisting, network peering, VPN tunnels, cipher selection)

Food for thought for any American warhawks who imagine that the US mainland is immune from Chinese reprisals if a hot war breaks out over Taiwan.

"The fielding of newer, more capable and longer-range SLBMs such as the JL-3 — which has a range of more than 10,000 km — gives the Chinese Navy the ability to target the continental United States from certain littoral waters, allowing Beijing to consider operating in heavily protected “bastions” that enhance the survivability of its sea-based deterrent, the Pentagon said. The Bohai Sea is seen as the most likely option for this, but the missile may also be able to hit Hawaii and Alaska from the South China Sea."
Is that safer than 1Password? According to their documentation, passwords inside 1Password are fully encrypted and only ever decrypted locally on the user's devices. So, it seems identical to the local use case you describe except that it's much more difficult to lose your passwords on 1Password. With passwords only locally on a single machine, if you lose the machine, you lose your passwords. Plus, there's no easy way to share the passwords across multiple machines and especially operating systems.

It seems to me that everyone stating that systems like this are terrible simply propose an alternative that is a hand-built version of the same solution.
