Well, I certainly don't agree with Braverman's words there at all. If people are crossing the channel to apply for asylum, then I don't see how it can be determined that they are illegal. It's not possible to apply for asylum from outside of the UK, so they can only apply once they hit our shores and yet Braverman is branding them all as "illegal"? The immigration services have been completely stripped back by the Tories, so a lot of the statements are a result of their toxic-environment policy on immigration.

Honestly, the asylum issue is a right-wing dog whistle and it's not actually a big problem with the UK.

No idea what Ford is thinking here as AM radio (whether people like it or not) is an essential service, especially in vast areas of Canada where the Mustang will be sold and FM radio signals don't propagate well, if at all. Are they trying to force buyers into satellite subscriptions? Do not want. One possible point of solace for fans of AM stations: if local FM stations in North America are broadcasting in HD Radio they are more than likely also broadcasting the local AM station(s) on subchannels. Again, in vast areas of Canada, FM signals do not propagate, for a variety of reasons related to the immense geographic distances and differences.

With respect, you and your company of people who are already subject matter experts are not his audience; his audience is people who are not experts and want to learn about this subject matter. Most people on HN are also not subject matter experts with respect to rockets, so in that respect, are probably much closer to his target audience on average than you are.

That might well be a pro, not a con. Rocket scientists' core competency is designing rockets, not teaching, and subject matter experts often make poor teachers. If this were a case of some kind of hucksterism, where he's an ignorant layperson making shit up and passing it off as true in his educational content, I'd say there was some concern, but while he's apparently said some dumb shit on Twitter, it doesn't seem like you or most other commenters are pointing to anything factually inaccurate _in this article_, nor indeed do people tend to on his researched, long-form stuff generally (vs. some off-the-cuff tweet). In that sense, it seems like this content is as good a place as any for laypeople to learn about this topic, that it doesn't obviously suffer from his lack of formal training, and maybe benefits if it means his better able to translate technical content to non-technical audiences.
Spent the last year searching for a reasonable aged Bosch 300 series or above. Finally found a 3 year old Bosch 500 for less than $200. Good dishwashers are totally worth it, relatively easy to repair, quiet, efficient, and clean well. If I had my pick it would be a mid-high end Bosch, or a Miele.
LMAO. Can't even believe how many people were confidently asserting that nothing was wrong yesterday. If you had more than $250k in SVB yesterday you probably just took a huge haircut.

Hundreds of startups will become illiquid as a result of SVB's collapse, and there will be major layoffs here in the next 90 days as founders realize that they lost their funds and cannot raise in the current VC environment.
TARP arguably turned a profit, so a bailout isn't necessarily bad. Might be better to let them fly high, get burned, and then let investors get wiped out while keeping customers whole. What we don't want is socialized losses, but distressed investment gains are a-ok with me.

Agreed. I mostly work from home but on occasion if I go in (for some forces reason) i do absolutely no work. I chit chat, go on long walks, chit chat more, go on a long lunch, look at the internet a little and then leave early enough so that i am still home at the time I normally home when I WFH.

So, first off, I am not very literate when it comes to the comings and goings of banking procedures, so forgive me if this is a dumb question.

Would an incident like this make other banks shore up their defenses about this sort of thing happening to them, or will more banks fall due to market conditions in general?

Well, treasurers looking to park their cash and use US Gov debt guarantees usually buy shorter dated treasury bills - around 3-6 months. This matches their duration - chances are they will need the money quickly. In general treasurers match the duration of liabilities (when they will need the money) with the duration of assets (bonds).

If SVB really parked most of the cash in 10-year old treasury bonds that sounds.... questionable...

When someone opens a bank account and makes a cash deposit, he/she surrenders the legal title to the cash, and it becomes an asset of the bank.
My point is, more gov. regulation isn't working. That is not likely to change until there is a systemic change in our system of government.
What are you talking about? Pretty much everyone I've seen has called this a bank run and said to get your money out since SVB announced they were trying to raise money. Techcrunch called the announcement shooting yourself in the foot.
As someone who was bullied as a child, I'm very thankful that that the bullying was mostly limited to the hours when I was physically at school. I would go home and I had a whole other world I built for myself out of books and my own imagination, and I think that made my bad experience at school tolerable.

I can't imagine if I'd felt like the bullying could always reach me through my smartphone or computer.

I feel very lucky to have grown up on the cusp of all of this. I was born in the early 80s and my dad worked in technology, so I had a computer and a modem back in the BBS days, and got to discover being "online" when most kids weren't. It actually felt like a refuge, and something special. I wonder what feels like that to the weird, outcast kids today.

Ouch for startups that didn't pull.
Sure, I agree, some sort of plan is a good idea. What I've seen many times though is engineers building systems for supporting 100k daily users while the product hasn't even found market fit yet, wasting lots of time on building complicated distributed systems way too early.
I would argue the effect of smoking was also a lot longer to see the effect. I've been to countries where kids smoke (middle east) and there's no apparent effect on the smoking kids. You'd probably have to wait until their 30s to really see the damage.

Watching a kid watch TV there is almost an immediate feeling of unhealthiness that isn't as apparent from watching a kid smoke. The smoking kid will keep on playing soccer, the kid on the TV is sucked into the sedentary low-thought activity like they're in a trance.
> How do they work?

Painfully. If you're on Linux, you get to use a mixture of poorly-documented (e.g., ptrace) and undocumented (e.g., r_debug) features to figure out the state of the program. Combine this with the debugging symbols provided by the compiler (DWARF), which is actually a complicated state machine to try to encode sufficient details of the source language, and careful reading of the specification makes you throw it out the window and just rely on doing a well enough job to keep compatibility with gdb.

> Why can't more compiled languages integrate debuggers inside of them so that you can debug the program without using a separate tool?

Because it's really painful to make debugging work properly. At least in the Unix world, the norm is for all of these tools to be developed as separate projects, and the interfaces that the operating system and the standard library and the linker and the compiler and the debugger and the IDE all use to talk to each other are not well-defined enough to make things work well.

> And why can't we create interfaces to debuggers so that other text editors can integrate with them, much like how we do we LSPs?

LSPs have the advantage of needing to communicate relatively little information. At its core, you need to communicate syntax highlighting, autocomplete, typing, and cross-referencing. You can build some fancier stuff on top of that information, but it's easily stuffed in a single box.

Debuggers need to do more things. Fundamentally, they need to be able to precisely correlate the state of a generated build artifact to the original source code of the program. This includes obviously things like knowing what line a given code address refers to (this is an M-N mapping), or what value lives in a given register or stack location (again an M-N mapping). But you also need to be able to understand the ABI of the source level data. This means you can't just box it as "describe language details to me", you also have to have the tools that know how to map language details to binary details. And that's a combinatorial explosion problem.

>What if you fail to renew the domain or to pay for hosting? What if the registrar wants to shut you down? What if your hosting facility catches fire

What if you[1] fail to renew your driver's license, passport, professional certification, homeowner's/renter's insurance and/or refilling your prescription for a life-saving drug? If so, you screwed up. Not paying your bills or maintaining your person-hood and infrastructure is your fault.

Unless (in the US at least) you are a member of a "protected group/class"[0], no one is required to do business with you. And even if you are a member of such a group, good luck proving that you're being discriminated against because of your membership in such a group/class even if that is the case. And even then, there is more than one registrar on the planet.

If my "hosting facility" catches fire, I have much bigger problems (i.e., finding a new place to live and replacing all my belongings) than not getting email. And since there is more than one "hosting facility" (including your own premise), just move to another one.

It's not clear to me what, exactly, you're railing against. Each and every potential issue you mention has a "meat space" parallel that, I imagine (please do correct me if I'm wrong) you are a responsible human who makes sure to do what's necessary to maintain your life/person-hood/place in society.

If those digital things you mention are so unimportant to you that you don't/won't take responsibility to manage them, that's on you, not the rest of the world.

This case is unique because of the sheer volume of non-FDIC insured deposits. Substantial risk of depositors not being made whole for a while, they’ll probably get all their money but it will still be bad
Slightly tangential, but here's something I've never understood: from what everyone says, font designs aren't copyrightable or protected in any way -- only their digital expression is.

So why aren't people producing identical open-source clones of expensive typefaces left and right?

If you write a script to render each letterform to a 10000x10000 pixel bitmap, and then run a decent bitmap-to-Bezier-curve pathtracing algorithm, you'll come up with your own independent digital representation based on the design alone.

Do this for every pair of characters and you'll get all the kerning data too. You won't get hinting, but these days with retina screens and Mac font rendering and 600 dpi printers you don't really need it anymore anyways. (Plus auto-hinting is often good enough on a low-DPI Windows screen, where it still does make a big difference.)

And even if there are license restrictions which technically prevent the licensee of a typeface from doing this... they can still produce the bitmaps, and then hand them off to a friend to do the digitization, who hasn't agreed to any terms at all.

It seems so easy to automate... is there a reason why this kind of "legal piracy" doesn't exist already? Is there something I'm missing?

(And I'm not talking about fonts that are designed to be intentionally similar but not perfectly identical to existing fonts, the way Arial mimicked Helvetica -- I'm talking about an exact clone.)

Edit: just to be clear, I'm not condoning this idea. It would probably destroy the font industry and make it impossible for font designers to make much of a living. I'm just curious why this seemingly inevitable outcome hasn't happened.
Zig supports the 2nd and 3rd clause already in its while loop. Would it kill it to accept an initializer and look more like other languages instead of having a special snowflake syntax.

Is this (note the enclosing braces)

{
var thing = thinger();
while(cond(thing)) : (mutate(thing)){
// do whatever
}
}

really better than this?

for(var thing = thinger(); cond(thing); mutate(thing)){
// do whatever
}
It really is a handicap and not a superpower. Resources in groups are given to people that are liked, not those who deserve them. Maintaining positive relationships is the best way to secure resources. Using aggressive communication is going to shut down other people and they will not give you anything. Without resources, your work product will be limited, less relevant and likely to be discarded after you leave.
Yep, $250k.
I once saw a kitchen in Italy which had a cabinet right above the sink. You wouldn’t notice when it was closed, but if you opened it you’d see it didn’t have a flat bottom but dish racks.

So you’d wash your stuff, put them in the cabinet, and they’d dry in there with the excess water falling directly in the sink.

I haven’t used the system myself, but the people living in the house liked it.
That's also around the time when smartphones started to see huge adoption. It became something you'd never be able to get away from.

First off, you should be careful when using apologic statements at work. They can be seem as an admission of guilt by the claimant and/or employeer and can lead to further action. Saying things as such as:

(1) "I understand that you feel that way, but my intention behind that statement was ... ."
(2) "It's unfortunate that you feel that way, but my intentions were ... ."
(3) "I can see that my actions have affected you, by my intentions were ... ."
(4) "I didn't intend to upset you, my intentions were ... ."

would be better for issues in the future.

In regards to how she responded. You can't control how people interpret and handle situations. You can only change with how you deal with it in the future, knowing that she has responded this way should let you know that (

I would from now on keep all conversations in written and storable form via email, letter, or chat, and if you need to talk to her, make sure you plan what you are going to say and make sure you have another colleague in the room as a referense to the conversation.

If you feel you want to remedy to the situation, I would set up a meeting with HR and try and come to a solution.
If you believe in an open web, there is no reasonable assumption that the stuff you value should receive any special consideration and all values should find the representation that people at large ascribe to them.

It's entirely reasonable for someone else to value different stuff than you do. If a vendor breaks a things, it's entirely reasonable for the customer to be frustrated by that in every case, no matter the thing.

What you (or I) think of the thing, is entirely beside the point when discussing its breakage, and the fact that people do not seem to get behind this causes too much frustration in the world.

> Silicon Valley Bank is the first FDIC-insured institution to fail this year.

Wow FDIC is fully calling it a failed bank. Just yesterday they were releasing statements saying they’re in a good position. Uncle Sam just fully opened Pandora’s box and made the judgement public!
It’s usually semantics.

What do you mean by free will? Yes, we make decisions. Yes, we have the experience of having will and choosing things.

But where does the “freedom” of that will come from? Everything we desire or have preferences for, and everything we decide is based upon some prior event or factor.

It’s an illusion of free will. People often get caught up on this because they feel it scary and dehumanizing to say “we don’t have free will”, but really, determinism or at least compatibilism make way more sense than some magic “free will” that just arises out of thin air.

I think this is Google's first hit when one searches this, but I do not believe this is correct. Here is a source saying the opposite, as an example.

A liability, in general terms, is something owed to another (e.g., a deposit)

That's not really possible. SVB as an entity no longer exists once the FDIC steps in.
