>The only solution is the death of exponential growth and easy investment money.

This is true. Almost everyone in the world doesn't want to hear it, though.
Thought provoking. I like it.

I've long supported the "right to be forgotten".

But, until this essay, I had never considered the corollary "right to be remembered".

This real world concern is timely, relevant.

Nicely done.
I mean, who is going to stop me? Think about it: Who and how are they going to stop me from applying some math to my messaging. I’d almost say: Good luck. But it’s just too horrible to think what would be needed to prevent me from privately chatting with my partner. The threat of jail time? Total control of my devices? Wtf is this savage thing they are proposing? Do we envy China all of a sudden?
Maybe a better way of putting it is that the public's amount of caring about it happens to be below the threshold for doing something.
The comparison I draw is to google search, not general internet usage like Netflix and YouTube. I think it makes sense to use ChatGPT more often than search for most of my use cases. Fully agree that it does not replace the entire internet.
>Until the borrower doesn't (or can't) pay back the loan...

I suspect the OP would state "That's where adequate collateral comes into play."
> Your UI should be a pure function of your state.

I think you are mixing metaphors here.

An ideal React component was supposed to be a pure function that takes in props and spits out a piece of UI. This ideal has never been reached, or even within reach, because once you introduce component state, you lose the purity of your function — its output no longer depends solely on the input (which is what defines a pure function), but can vary depending on the internal state.

When, however, you say that "your UI should be a pure function of your state" (and when we bracket out the word 'pure' that we addressed in the previous paragraph), then signals are just as good a a way to achieve this as hooks are, or React class components were. You modify your state; some code runs; your UI gets updated to reflect the latest state of your state; voila, the UI becomes a function of the state.

> With the way things are going (U2F/WebAuthn), Yubikeys are being commoditized, and that's a good thing.

I very much doubt this. Security keys are only used by a very niche community of security minded tech geeks. They're either unknown or very user unfriendly and a nuissance to the vast majority of tech users. Hell, I only use them because not using them is not an option, but I'm constantly annoyed with having to _think_ about them, rotate keys, manage passwords, etc.

While WebAuthn and passkeys are becoming more prevalent and standardized, and that's certainly a good thing, the future of increased security for everyone will not involve security keys. Most users will authenticate using their phone or biometric data, which will create passkeys for each purpose, stored securely in the background on a TPM-like device, and synced using traditional methods.

So security keys will remain a niche product, for those of us who don't trust these new authentication models, or have to keep managing passwords for likely many years to come.
It's great, but it punishes the smaller banks while leaving the 'too big to fail' conglomerates in a position to be bailed out by taxpayers. We need to chop down any bank that poses a systemic risk so that it's small enough for the FDIC to handle.
I believe the customers they would be going after are commercial entities, not retail.
Nothing specific. I already spend more hours than I'd like on my job. However, each day brings new experience and I think that adds value. I've learned enough languages/frameworks/stacks to know unless I'm going to use one daily, I'll just forget it so I don't bother with that anymore.
Banks and exchanges are practically licenses to print money. It really doesn't take much to run their profitably. All you have to do is not get too greedy and you can have an almost neverending trickle of profits.

How do these keep blowing up?
I get why actual "hot add whilst running" isn't a common feature (VMWare can do it but often does it via various tricks, such as the instance is already 'sized' with the number of CPUs/RAM and some are marked inaccessible).

The thing that really pissed me off is when a cloud provider is UNABLE to add more CPU and RAM on reboot. I even understand having to migrate the instance disks to another host that has CPU/RAM available.

They haven’t included an amortized cost breakdown with depreciation of hardware including backup. Or the geographically local personnel required (data center remote hands or dedicated employee that gets the call?). Even still I suspect it’s still probably cheaper.

Also it looks like these are retail prices. You can get cost savings by negotiating but I’m sure there’s an NDA required.
This sounds like the awkward middle.

You're "too professional" to use system or OFL fonts, so you need to license a commercial font.

Yet you're too small to just outright buy the perpetual license or have your own customized font (like most bigger companies have).

So you end up with checks notes a pay-per-view font and all the issues associated with that. Which in turn gave you a rather unprofessionally broken website.
Part of the problem is that selling to small/medium business sucks, unless you can make it very transactional (the cheap model above, just scaled per-seat). Anything that needs to be hands on costs you almost as much in labor costs as big company ... without the high-price point to justify it.

My very first personal ISV "hustle" was a classified ad product for desktop publishing. I priced it at $750, and discovered that my cost of sales and support made this untenable. Now I know why small desktop publishers were doing classified ads by hand, and the really big companies had mainframe- and minicomputer-based systems costing five or six figures in the 80s and 90s.

Same dynamic, and all it took was my car being repossessed to make me realize there was something wrong with my business model.
Good point. I'm not being precise, sorry.

Still, I'm trying to avoid leaving so many breadcrumbs on my systems if they aren't needed.

BBC presenters are supposed to be politically neutral, so Lineker was right to be criticised (quite apart from the fact he was talking rubbish).

The ex-director general of the BBC Mark Thompson joined that hotbed of right wing activism, the New York Times. You also have ex-Labour minister James Purnell who had a senior role in the BBC.

Frankly if you think the BBC is anything other than the broadcast media wing of the Guardian you are severely deluded.
> I'm sure you're very competent at managing server hardware. But if I'm a seed stage startup, I'd politely decline your offer.

It’s not either AWS or “bring your soldering iron”. Self-hosting K8s on managed hardware is still insanely cheaper than AWS.

GitOps, infrastructure as code, DevOps platforms, CNCF best practice setups are entirely doable without paying the Amazon tax. If your lead DevOps quits, you’re right, it’s easier to find someone who does AWS.

The last time I worked for a company that was invested in AWS, their AWS budget corresponded to five full-time senior developers in running costs.

It’s not much different than outsourcing DevOps, which I think is what some hackers frown upon, because that’s their skillset you buy in town at a premium.
Can you think of any ways in which the BBC moved leftwards in recent years? And is it bad for them to adjust in either direction to orient toward neutrality?
Reading it I was surprised at first, guy was super apologetic for what seemed to be a pretty small issue (affecting only free tier no less).

Then I saw the root cause, wow I would not trust a company that runs scripts on prod data so willy nilly.

I don't think I consider that a bad thing.
This is correct, Banks can plan for this risk by aiming to match the duration of their liabilities, which includes deposits, to their assets. For example, if a bank is getting funding via a one-year certificate of deposit, it can buy a Treasury maturing in one year to match. But if a bank’s deposits can move at any moment, it has to weigh that risk when investing. Banks also diversify with assets that are floating rate, like many kinds of corporate loans or credit card loans. Few are at risk of needing to wind down so quickly. But many may still have to take actions throttling back on loan growth or raising more capital if the Fed keeps going and deposits flee more quickly than anticipated.

My argument to all of this, at least in the US, is you don't need the internet to do things or be a person. Yes, it's 1000x more convenient (and cheaper) but you don't need to be online to do things with the government.

Maybe that changes in the near future but the internet is only as real as you make it.

If literally everyone's saying we're in a bubble, by definition we wouldn't be. Nobody would be buying at ever higher prices in a bubble, so who's making those trades?

> I don't understand the incentive for a bank to buy them at this point

If the natural incentive of the bank's assets isn't enough, its literally the job of the FDIC to add that incentive. That's what the FDIC does. "We'll pay you $100M to continue operations of this bank" this happened dozens upon dozens of times during 2008. The insurance component of their mandate is an absolute last ditch "holy shit actually they had nothing it was all smoke and mirrors" tool.

It won't come to that because, well first of all, regulations don't allow banks to get to that point anymore, but also: SVB is actually a solid bank, who made a couple fuck-ups, caused a panic, and their customers are generally more agile and cutthroat than industry average. There are so many tools they, the industry, and regulators have to stabilize things that if you walked into the meetings that are happening about this right now and said "we should raise our insurance guarantees above $250k" you'd be laughed out of the room.

The FDIC doesn't give a shit about stemming outflows from SVB. The FDIC cares about the system, not SVB's bottom line or stock price. Customers should be able to withdraw their money. If they're even involved at this point (and that's a huge if), their primary concern would be to make sure customers still can get money out, not changing the incentive structure or adding limitations toward getting that money out.

What territories has China “recently annexed”?
We're under the FDIC threshold in our account at the moment, so we are just riding it out expecting to get fully recouped in case of bank insolvency. We're looking into additional lines of credit for the short-term in case we're locked out of our funds for an excessive length of time.

It sounds like it's too late to withdraw anyways, so all their customers can do at this point is exercise an emergency plan and line up options for short-term liquidity.

You see these kind of dynamics with a number of things.

Years ago, Philip Greenspun wrote a post noting that there was no real middle ground between a magazine article and a book. (This was in the context of the web maybe addressing this--though it mostly hasn't, longreads and things like that aside).

Something either fits into low single-digit thousands words length or it needs to be a 250+ page book. In some ways, shorted attention spans make this sort of thing even worse. We still have books but, in my day job, we've mostly found that the 3,000 word white papers we used to crank out have largely been replaced by blogs and blog series.
The Iraq Was was started by a Labour government, and from what I remember the BBC seemed to be very against it.
It looks like the maximum penalty (if corrected within 30 days) is about $450,000 as of 2022.

However, there is apparently an addendum to the law that the State Attorney General is authorized to impose civil penalties in addition to this.

As we see, Anthem settled for $115,000,000 for a similar breach.

So, yeah, unless Cerebral gets a very lenient AG, they're done.

Based on my reading, I don't think that the author would argue that there is no change and censorship on campus.

"blaming a massive generational psychological shift for censorship on campus, instead of the real cause: a political problem of powerful administrative structures promoting repression at colleges"

If they use the word figures instead of men, perhaps it is not because they fear offending some student, but other powerful and repressive groups.
The Guardian article is misleading to the point of dishonesty. The episode that isn't being broadcast was not intended to be broadcast because it isn't part of the Wild Isles series. It's a companion documentary commissioned by the RSPB and the WWF.

And for all the good both these charities do, the BBC should not be broadcasting programs made by what are, in effect, political lobbying organizations (and I say that as someone who agrees with their aims).

Look at the last paragraph in the article, where they've put the real reason it isn't being broadcast.

Lineker compared the Home Secretary to the Nazis. He's entitled to his personal opinions, but he's a very prominent and massively over-paid BBC employee, so he should know better than to air his views on Twitter.

This is a classic headline in the modern world. Some actor (not the film actors) says they won't do x because of fear for some other actor. The whole community then comes to critize actor 2 despite them having absolutely NO SAY in the decision and might even be okay with the situation at large.

No, you are going to give it a short window of time to deliver and if that elapses give up and render with what you have. You are going to keep trying to source the material in the background and if it eventually arrives give the user some non-intrusive feedback that they can choose to reload the page if they want to see it in its full form.

And the adults' access to the phone. It's made it incredibly easy and low-effort to snitch out any kids actually independently outside no matter where they are. People would shit bricks to see the freedom I had as a kid, to roam the countryside alone with a rifle shooting rabbits. Or going miles out from age 7 up snake infested creeks. The average fat American is way too lazy to walk all the way home to snitch a kid out, but with a cell phone they can call the cops immediately.
No, it's not completely ignored.

I gave up on web fonts right from the start, really. My site uses Georgia with a set of CSS fallbacks to other serifs, plus the equivalent for monospace. But I've worked in places with licensed web fonts, and we would always host our own copies, plus we'd be extremely careful to minimize their use.

Beautifully written and I'm happy there was a positive outcome in this instance.

I feel like most of us have a similar story. I don't know if it's unique to tech, but every team I've been a part of has had a "well everyone who originally built this product left and we don't really know how to manage it so it's just sort of hobbling along but management won't prioritize decommissioning or supporting it so it keeps all of us up at night." Do other industries have this issue? How can we fix this problem?
Nonsense. A bailout has more precedent now, and the current political situation with the Democrats in the White House virtually guarantees it. The last bailout never had a precedent or approval of the American people, but they did it anyway and they will do it again.
