I agree, but I think it also helps retailers swell their cashflow (since they don't have to tie up capital on stock) so, for them, it's just too compelling an advantage to pass up?

In a way, it does help a specialist differentiate him/herself in the market though. I am tending to buy more from small, specialist retailers for this very reason.
I had to look it up - Ansible's initial release was just over 11 years ago. Calling it "old-school" sure took me by surprise, though I suppose that is a long time in the tech world. To me, old school is doing everything via Bash or even by hand.
With the way things are going (U2F/WebAuthn), Yubikeys are being commoditized, and that's a good thing. I have 5-6 Yubikeys, but nowadays the one I use most is the Solo 2 I embedded in my laptop[0].

Pretty much the only thing I use a Yubikey for nowadays is U2F, and I might as well use any cheaper key for that, since they're all equivalent (Solo 2 even has much more space for resident keys).

I don't think there's much reason to get a Yubikey nowadays, especially if you don't need it for some specific use case (e.g. GPG). Just buy any cheap FIDO2-compatible key and you're good.

They have assets they could sell for a loss or they could sell to someone with liquidity that doesn't have to sell those assets. The buyer also gets the SVB business which is really unique and great - a true asset in itself. This is a better outcome for SVB share holders as they get some value.

I don't even consider those to be "conversions" at all; in the same way that "two dozen metres" and "twenty four metres" and are both just some number of metres (not a conversion from a separate "dozen-metre" unit).

Technically, the SI standard does consider millimetres, centimentres, kilometres, etc. to be separate ("derived") units from the base unit of "metre". That matters when we have multiple interacting multiples, e.g. "one cubic centimetre" is not the same as "one centi cubic metre"; but of course, that's avoided if we stick to base units like cubic metre.

I think that the bank gets rescued, probably very soon, the next few days.

To let it fail will harm a significant portion of the US startup community and damage the country's ability to continue to innovate. In many ways, it is too big to fail because of its ties to the startup community.

I think there is no other solution right now be a federal rescue of SVB. It is likely insolvent right now if they had to sell their assets at firesafes prices. An orderly unwind would help all involved and preserve a lot of value.
I wonder if the company actually took ownership of the house or just managed a purchase for the employee. I knew someone who worked for the federal government and relocated for a job and took advantage of this kind of benefit. But I don't believe the federal government actually took ownership of the house - I think it was more like, they found the best quick cash offer, and then paid out the amount between that and the appraised value. So the employee gets rid of their house for the appraised value, the employer gets the employee where they're needed and some house flipping company gets some inventory.
This ignores the algorithmic ordering of social media feeds, which was unique to Facebook and then widely copied by all the other ad-ridden socials. There was no "connecting people" reason for them to do it, it was done because it made it easier to throw ads in to readers' feeds and make sure they'd be noticed.
I think the office as a concept will need to change, and is going to change. We already started changing it for the worse decades ago with open spaces, non-permanent workplaces and so on.

The thing we fear losing out on is the social aspect where you learn to understand people by meeting them more and observing them work. You see when they are happy and or stressed, even when you don't have a face-to-face call. You can have unplanned conversations. I have been remote for 10 years but I do understand the value in this.

The idea of going to an office against your will to sit there quietly and work (or even do video calls), is obviously going away companies aren't going to afford making people do that, because of all things you can do with an edge in compensation, that feels like the worst investment.

We need more models for teams than just "office", "remote" or "hybrid". We need "commute hybrid" where everyone can come in regularly say once a week, and "travel hybrid" where people can show up for say one week per quarter or similar. The problem as I see it is choosing one of these models, and making it work for a team or company. What do you do if you have a team that is "commute hybrid" while some are "travel hybrid" or fully remote? (I'm in that situation myself now and it's not without friction).
Connecting people with their peers is most certainly not damaging-- any more than socializing in general.

Facebook started off GREAT! I singed up almost as soon as it was available to the general public (remember it was just open to university students at first).

At that time my timeline was basically text only and the content came from only my friends. It was like a fun online party -- not unlike online chat systems from the old days.

Then mysteriously all the people I enjoyed interacting with, disappeared from my timeline. Then I started getting content vaguely unrelated to my friends. Then meme photos I didn't want, ads and now basically just videos I hate and am bored of.

So the original concept is fine. It's just where we ended up that is mind numbing and alienating.

IQ statistics is pseudo science. Therefore we can dismiss the study out of hand. Soft sciences need to be able to prove their underlying methodologies, and have so far largely failed to do so. They rely on shifting around numbers and cherry picking data to get specific outcomes.

> I was kinda hoping to avoid storing the private key on the local machine at all.

I may be misunderstanding but I use U2F with OpenSSH (8.3). The private key is not on the local machine. It's still SSH public/private key pair but the private key on the computer is only a "key handle", not the real private key. The private key is protected on the security key. I don't mind copying that private key around: although it looks like a private key, it's just a key handle and not the actual private key.

It doesn’t mention the root cause, which was chasing yield by buying longer-duration Treasuries (and not hedging that exposure).

Obviously the exposure to tech was a contributing factor, but that wouldn’t have been a problem if they had accepted lower yields (as their inflows grew in 2020-2021). They’d have bought shorter-duration bonds or hedged their rate exposure. They wanted 2019-era yields to continue after April 2020, and took duration risk to get it.
My prediction. Startups with lines of credit / venture debt won’t be able to move all money out under terms of those deals and will be the bag holders when bank run takes SVB to zero by Tuesday next week.
People will follow people—we've already seen that with the tech community and Mastodon. Within niches like the iOS dev community, virtually everyone has jumped from Twitter to Mastodon. If a good centralized alternative comes along, other communities may jump to that. But so far, there are no centralized contenders on the Twitter front.
> Pragmatic would be a person who doesn't worry about completely made up things - not the case.

They are completely made up things though. As an example: Climate change is not made up since it is affecting us now. Assuming what a future government might do is purely hypothetical though. I could draw a hypothetical that these laws will create world peace and stop nuclear war with the same amount of authority. Both are possible.
I use cannabis daily, and I also follow all the studies suggesting cognitive decline, alzheimers, and heart issues, etc. However, having not started till I was in my mid 20's, I do find that maybe I benefited from that cognitive decline with decreased anxiety, more physical energy, and more success in life. But now that I'm in a better place, I do intend to stop for a decade or two though, for the sake of my longevity.
For me the cognitive effort is greater without the use of []. The meaning of the () following a symbol in a (define) is only determined by it's position. With [] you can, at a glance, know the role of that list. It gives some visual separation to the parts of a function definition that most other languages just have automatically.

I would strongly recommend reading the critique of the data originally published by these authors:

https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/abs/10.1142/S02179792237...

The fact that "measured" data fits a cubic spline so well is extremely strong evidence of misconduct. This just doesn't happen with real data. The misuse of significant figures is also implicative.
Ditto. I don’t smoke cannabis that is bred to be high in thc, because I prefer a light effect. I use a dry herb vaporizer and don’t have any issues engaging in deep thought work in the morning.

My main concern with long term use is dream suppression. So I do take breaks frequently. Also I think it’s not a good for developing brains <25y. Cannabis is great as medicine for colds, flu, aches and a lot of more serious conditions and chronic conditions.

In the realm of things that I think the government needs to protect us from, I think cannabis prohibition is completely absurd and insidious. We barely talk about alcohol addiction and god forbid we reckon with prolific Tylenol and NSAID abuse — both of which have acute toxic effects on the body.

Yep. A completely natural instance of “computer nerd thinks that their expertise is transferrable”. The tech industry is rife with this sort of thinking.

Edit: I'm realizing now that you probably meant you have put options on other companies through an SVB account that you can't access because of account issues, not that you have puts on SVB, which was my initial read.
Again, can you give an example of an jailbreak you're thinking of? So far, I don't even think you've given a clear explanation of your threat model. Once we have that, we can have a discussion about Oracle fits into it -- but until then, there's no substance.

What operations would you use to break out of the above sandbox? Once you give me that, I'll happily discuss the details.
It depends on the downtown. Where I live there's almost no transit to downtown and because of traffic, a 20 minute commute turns into an hour.

If instead you have a few smaller offices in the burbs outside of downtown, you could save a lot of time for workers as they would be traveling counter-commute.
I see. I’m skeptical all of this (and similar use cases) could add up to “as much or more” than the regular internet. The average internet usage is something like 6-7 hours per day. I don’t see how even extremely heavy usage of GPT gets anywhere close to that, unless much of that time is “playing” (which is itself extremely cool!)
Providers like OVH, Hetzner, etc will provide you servers and handle maintenance just like cloud providers, and it turns out that in both cases you need to hire sysadmins (or "DevOps" engineers).

I support Tim on Patreon. He also utilizes a cadre of Patreon donors who provide commentary on early cuts of videos and even drafts of scripts.

One problem: as far as I understand a number of high profile instances enforced a rule where they would block any instance that didn't block certain other instances.

I'm all for blocking a good number of instances myself, but putting limits on others, that is a whole different thing.

All of this tricky reasoning about what executed when - and what is closed over vs not - is challenging for most developers. The class version is the most straight forward by a wide margin compared to either React function components or Solid functions. I am happy writing hooks and figuring out the right way to express my effect conditions, but I read a lot of code that gets it wrong, and when I talk to devs they often don’t have as strong a mental model for lexical scope, lifetimes, and closures. Ultimately I think either function API is too subtle for the median developer I’ve worked with.

> which is why insurance companies generally don't insure against earthquakes. The gov't doesn't need to come and nanny the company to tell them not to do something.

I'm not sure where you're getting this information. Natural disasters, including earthquakes, are perils that can definitely be insured. This is possible because the regional insurers can buy catastrophe reinsurance to protect the insurance company from extreme losses that are beyond the company's ability to absorb. I don't know much about earthquakes, but in Florida hurricane / flood insurance is heavily subsidized by the government in order to make home ownership affordable / possible in coastal areas.

Insurance is a highly regulated industry. The government regularly comes to "nanny" insurance companies and tells them what to do on a daily basis. So, again, I'm not sure what you're trying to say. The regulator in the US is called NAIC, it's the insurance equivalent of the Fed for banks in the US.
Longer answer: I think it's inevitable that someone will write a static checker for lifetime analysis.
You're conflating the limitations of Mastodon with the limitations of ActivityPub.

ActivityPub does not require "email addresses" for identity - that's a Mastodon idiosyncrasy. Identities in ActivityPub are URLs, so as long as you own your domain you can preserve your identity. That's not too different than your identity being a public key, with the benefit of human readability.

Mastodon doesn't offer you export/import of your activities because - again due to its idiosyncrasies - it does not care about past activities. What a user "sees" when they visit another account is only what that account has posted and has already been disseminated to the current account's Mastodon server. A sane approach to past activities would be to load them in response to the user interaction, instead of serving stale data from the db. For this case exporting activities from one service to another would allow for continuity.

This could probably be achieved even at protocol level, ActivityPub in its simplest form has enough vocabulary to allow loading a collection and adding its elements to a another one.

Some of these things exist in one form or another in other clients than Mastodon.
