When you see how much of a massive everything-bubble we were (are?) in, I can see where people are coming from on this one. Time to get some sanity back into this economy, and the people who will hurt the most are those who also benefited the most in the past 3 years (crypto-bros, useless startups with dumb valuations, etc.)
Can you elaborate what precisely is the issue with low female participation in a country's workforce?
Yea, like “Darth Vader killed your father” they are true from a specific viewpoint, but people walk away misunderstanding what’s being described.

A more clear approach would be to say what we mean by electricity is the net flow of energy even if no electrons move from A to B, but that’s not going to get the same number of clicks.
For a security key, sure, it's better for that side of the USB port to be more resistant.

But on the PC side, my old HP laptop used to have extremely tight USB A ports. I'd have to pull ridiculously hard on cables to disconnect them. Now the ports are fairly loose, to the point that my external drive sometimes disconnects...

The yubikey kinda dances around in that port. Luckily, I don't move the laptop too much, so the key tends to stay put, but it sometimes does lose contact out when I need to touch it often.
Perhaps it wasn't the biggest risk at the time. Still a risk though.
The contract team I used to work with would work Mon-Sat. That then changed to Mon-Fri + alternate Sats, but over a decade ago they simply became Mon-Fri.

So at least in tech, it seems the norm is becoming to work 40 hr days as well.

From reading the decision and looking at Google Maps: the street is a short, narrow dead-end street in the suburbs. Most of the people who live there have young children who play together.

It would be very difficult to accidentally find yourself on this street, driving quickly.

Of course, it's dangerous in the sense that anything to do with cars is dangerous. But it seems pretty safe as far as these things go.
It will take a significant amount of work to prove that those companies were providing net-positive outcomes for our civilization.

The article talks about the RadTrike, but at ~1,500 usd, the Lectric XP Trike is a much better proposition, and the price includes the cargo baskets
> Should we go back to the days of communicating to each other via letters?

I'd argue so. People put more thought into letters, since producing and sending them involved expense of time and effort. Laziness was its own spam filter.

As a daily arch user for over a decade I can't help but be that guy; why not just RTFM? Isn't that arch/gentoo's thing? good docs? about 15 seconds of searching turned up all the info.

New role spotlight: Senior Site Reliability Engineer

While directly impacting our customers, this role is also highly visible internally and will be a great opportunity for someone to grow their technical expertise in many different areas, like solving large-scale scaling challenges, improving observability, and cloud infrastructure automation.

Ideally, we are looking for someone with 5+ years of Ruby on Rails experience who is proficient with query optimization and profiling/benchmarking source code.

Additional requirements include experience with APM tools and cloud computing services.

We're excited to connect with you!
I recently just got into XCOM and I much prefer or it over most of the other games I have played lately. Honestly I feel like the golden age of tactical/startegy gaming was the early to mid 2000's.

And based on the market I'm not alone, since it seems most of the biggest hype these days are around remastering old titles or bringing them back. Age of Empires, Warcraft 3, etc. (Of course some how most of these companies seem to flub just remastering an old game, but you know)

Aside from all those tech founders (today's LP VCs) from 2008-2020 likely held equity/deposits at SVB, and the sheer call out by them to make a run on the bank yesterday just broke the bank. The speed of fintech makes it feel coordinated.

Funny it seems like VC GPs were on the horn yesterday to withdraw, and I know a number of LPs telling me last Sun/Mon they'll be "out of the country" next month. Looks like some folks had early info.

They open sourced a few bits, but those were both mid-last year. I'd say quiche is more interesting than boring.
Of course, in practice that is not a possibility for most people. You can't just choose to work hourly if nobody is willing to hire you on these terms. Without regulation the balance of power is strongly in the hands of capital and inevitably leads to employers working employees to death. We have plenty of examples of this in our past.
Yeah that's an obvious question for people who _don't_ do this kind of stuff. Similar behavior by other people, like George Santos or SBF, come to mind - I think a big part of it is Ego and probably another mental disposition like severe narcissism or something.
The frustrating thing about these questions is we'll never really know the answer, even if these individuals told us why we'd be hard pressed to believe them.
For 24x7 production operations, 12 hour shifts make a lot of sense. You work 12 hours, hand off your role to the next incoming shift, and 12 hours later they hand off back to you. You do this for 3 days one week, 4 days the next. 4 hours of OT every day. I did this for 2 years at an LSI fab in Colorado Springs and it was great.
I don't think they "have" to pay the higher interest. Wouldn't they ultimately get that interest from parking money at the Fed over night? A bank isn't going to pay interest on money that results in a net loss, either they get it from the Fed or they are making private loans at a higher rate. Otherwise there would be no incentive to increase deposits as each would result in lost profits.

This is insane. Driving throughout the US, there are many places where you are emergency weather broadcasts go via AM.

And those places don't have cellular reception. So my Weather app on my iPhone will not be able to warn me. (hell, even if I open the app, it loads the data, I turn on airplane mode, force-close, reopen, it shows me 'Weather unavailable' ...)

- How is it possible to move back and forth in the game as shown around 08:00? I don't know if the game compiled to native code directly but I think it's easier if it's running inside a VM (and I do see "vm" in the video)

- How does one make these kind of tools in general? I feel these are super helpful for any game developer out there.
The CIA helped him defect and change his name. Years later, he appeared on TV in the US repeating neoconservative talking points in the 80s. But I guess he was just your ordinary Canadian.
What makes this thing even more interesting is that there is viral, wide-spread knowledge about banking - as opposed to 2000 or 2007. A bank run is one tweet away.

A lot of banks have similar asset books and asset values MUST go down as interest rates rise. So, banks are really screwed unless they offer MUCH higher interest rates on deposits ASAP. Because if they don't, most people are very aware of treasurydirect and will simply deposit there.

What is this? Does this mean that if PensionFundFoo invests in VCFundX as a LP, that PensionFundFoo never actually has to fork over cash to VCFundX to give to StartupZ? Does this mean SVB accepted PensionFundFoo's commitment to VCFundX as collateral and gave a loan to VCFundX to invest in StartupZ?
Haha, I fell for it. Nice :)

My pessimistic view is that bonuses were paid out on invested cash not on cash just sitting there. So they had to buy something to get a fat bonus.
Hallo, I'm an Undo developer wave

Indeed, using GDB's version of tracepoints (dprintf - https://doc.ecoscentric.com/gnutools/doc/gdb/Dynamic-Printf....) is really powerful and replaying a trace with these installed is to generate "logs I wish I'd had" is exciting.

It also has potential use if:

* you'd like to diff two executions (e.g. one successful, one failing) - you probably can't just compare raw execution as there'll be uninteresting variation but comparing extended logs could be useful

* you are debugging something at a customer site - they might not let you debug directly but you could iterate on plain text logs by shipping them additional tracepoints to run on a recording

We thought this was useful enough that we implemented a tool with its own DSL for simply specifying post factor logging "probes": https://docs.undo.io/PostFailureLogging.html
There's also a lot of open area in the yards and air 10-30ft above single-family homes. There are lot of property owners who'd be willing to demolish the SFH on their lot and build a lowrise multi-unit building with 2-6 units, and the only thing stopping them is that it is illegal to do this.
That is what I mostly use. That and post it notes. The notes are nice for 'im done with it toss it'. The pads for making lists of items. I used to have hundreds of old notebooks full of stuff. After one move I went thru them and realized none of it really mattered. Nice paper, very expensive pens/mechanical pencils. I just chucked it all. El cheapo notebook and pens. Switched exclusively to a 'todo' style system for paper. I found all of that info I was writing down, was fairly useless and out of context meaningless. Unless I meticulously went back and cataloged it. Even then it was not really worth it. If I come across an old legal pad with stuff I flip thru it quick and decide 'do I need to keep it'. Usually not and I garbage it.
Banks don't lend out deposits. They don't take deposits and lend out 90% or so. Fractional reserve banking is a model of how banking works but it's a wrong model. In reality banks make loans (which create deposits). They try to attract deposits from other banks because they need enough bank reserves to cover liquidity issues (like customers transferring money to other banks). When a bank transfers deposits to another bank, they must transfer reserves too. There is really a 2 tiered money system in the US. There are bank reserves (which you and I can't have) and deposits (which you and I do have).

How banks actually work was described well by the Bank of England. https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/quarterly-bulletin/2014/q1/m...

I mean, cut the US or Europe's output by 25-30% (to match India's low female participation) and you're basically talking about eliminating decades of growth. People would be so much poorer and worse off.

And that's just at the national level. There are a whole lot of other issues at the individual level, and the fact that it indicates a lack of freedom and opportunity for nearly half the country's population.

It reminds me of Jan Hendrik Schön, who looked like physics' next emerging all-star wunderkind until his "discoveries" of crystalline semiconductors won him so many awards and so much attention that it was discovered his entire career had been built on falsified data. A huge embarassment for Bell Labs and a black mark on the final years of more than one great physicist's careers there, since so many people thought they were helping a great new mind succeed when they were in reality perpetuating his fraud.

There's a great 3-part documentary on youtube about it, which argues Schön was probably a contender for the Nobel Prize in Physics before everything collapsed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfDoml-Db64
That's good to hear. This ban very likely has prevented some deaths. If people in the US had taken public health measures more seriously, hundreds of thousands of deaths could have been prevented in the last epidemic alone.

I don't think an 0.1% success rate is at all valid, though I recognize it was a verbal flourish rather than a statistical claim. I am distinctly unsympathetic to the Canada trucker protest, but you're applying the logic of prison surveillance to regular society and that is a sure recipe for a bad outcome. If safety is this important to you, then you might be happier in an authoritarian country like Singapore or Saudi Arabia.

> It's very clearly infrastructure. Putting "zero infrastructure" in the title and using the same API as Lambda invoke etc. doesn't make it true.
> I also get double the risk of downtime, security as it's a third party running on top of AWS vs. just running on AWS.

You are right. We provide an infrastructure service. We mean by "zero infrastructure" that you don't have to implement and/or manage your own.
Our service could run on a platform other than AWS, though, as we are not relying on AWS-only specific services (e.g., lambda, SQS, etc.). Of course, like any other cloud or on-premises service, we could have downtime.

> The API looks nice - but no mention of typescript at all in this post or the website, so presumably type-safety isn't the thing.

Glad to hear this. Although we don't mention it, our client is written in Typescript. If you want to know more, you can check out the code: https://github.com/defer-run/defer.client.

Mercury is not a bank. It keeps your funds spread across many banks where they open accounts on your behalf. Then they spread the deposits around to stay below the $250k threshold at each bank. Same as Fidelity and many others.
I would be shocked if SVB was sweeping deposit funds into other banks.
Exactly the same here! My MBP in college had a safety case and everything... and in hindsight its awful and bulky and hides the fancy finish.

One important thing to remember, at least for me, is I just had significantly less disposable income back then. Replacing the MBP would have been financially impossible for me, so I took more care of it. I'm in a much more privileged place now... so replacing something like this would only be a significant inconvenience.
The story here is that what most people do by default is right, and people trying to be better are failing.
Its not that bad.

But it works better at a criminal bank. Particularly one that might open a bunch of extra accounts for you when you aren't looking. Obviously that means opening the first account won't be the problem either.

Get a big criminal bank and they won't freeze your account for dumb reasons. Or smart reasons.

So just follow the settlements with the federal government, its advertising.

Optimizing your data requests is essential when dealing with large datasets. As your data queries become more complex, they can take longer to execute and become less efficient. Understanding the order in which the database processes the requests is the key to optimizing their performance.
I've had reasonable luck at local print shops. They can do custom sizes in a plastic spiral binding for a reasonable price. I haven't found someone who can do a sewn binding, but I wonder about asking a leatherworker in town if his machine could do 30 pages if I bought a few spare needles.

From what I recall of the last set of bank failures this is pretty much the FDIC's SOP. They swoop in on Friday with little notice, close the bank, work through the weekend and open up for business on Monday. It apparently made for some interesting work environments.
Does he back Brex? I saw they had billions of inflows yesterday.
> If they can hold those securities until they mature, all is good.

That's an odd bit of logic. If interest rates stay the same and nothing of interest happens for the next 20-30 years, then those banks will lose the spread between the interest on those instruments and the interest they're paying (SVB was paying 4.5% on savings!) for 20-30 years. That money needs to come for somewhere. The net present value of that loss is a very similar number to the unrealized mark-to-market loss of value of those instruments.

It's almost tautological that being able to hold those instruments to maturity requires that they remain solvent for the term of those instruments, which means that the money to cover their losses must come from somewhere.

Now everyone involved can gamble that interest rates will go back down in a few years and those short interest rate positions will recover, but that's a gamble, not a certainty. Of course, the Fed does have a bit of an interest in pushing rates down if needed to avoid bank failures...
I get what you're saying, but also I'm going to call BS on whatever liquidity testing banks need to do currently to satisfy the Fed. They're obviously not required to cover changing risks.

I think what's happening now is equivalent to 2008, it's just the underlying security was bonds and, in SVB's case, emerging equity. There were risks on all sides of the equation.
Some progress is better than none. Hopefully ambulances can be added in the future. One thing though I heard is ambulance services in rural area are barely solvent so just eliminating balance billing may put them under. Not sure if a better approach to funding is taxes or have insurance cover it.
