TLDR; Using the right dashes is about the UX of text. If you don't care about UX of the reader your points are sound.

I however--as a typographer--strongly disagree. Typograpy is both about beautiful typesetting as well as making sure that the information contained in the text is understood easily.

The former is obvious to me. It may not be to you but that doesn't make your reasoning right.

As an analogy, there are quite a few people among my friends & acquaintances who cook occasionally or rarely. They usually share the trait that they care more about eating than how something tastes. Bluntly spoken.

They commonly have one kind of oil in their kitchen (most often suflower) and they use it when the recipe demands "oil".

Usually recipes specify what oil to use. It may say olive oil or peanut oil or sesame oil. They won't have these oils and they don't care.

Even though the effect of using a different oil is profound on many levels (not even only taste). If you care, that is. Same with the dashes. Text looks and reads very different when those different dashes are used correctly.

Which leads to the information part. Why do we have these different dashes? They actually map to spoken language.

A hypen is used to pull things together. A word can be hypenated (should be read as if the hypen didn't exist) or two words can be pulled together (making the pause between them shorter) "ever-changing" is pronounced differently than "ever changing".

An en dash used between points in time or space conveys that. A distance. The spoken pause is usually longer.

And finally, an em dash, like a comma, conveys an even longer pause between the words it separates.
That podcast is good for a cringe chuckle as they openly wonder if being fat is even bad for you ("what's the evidence for that???" -- well, did the hosts even look?). That show is pure cope for fat people. My girlfriend and I listen to it for fun.
My favourite example of this is when I get ads for something that I’ve just recently purchased and clearly no person would want more than one of. Just bought a waffle maker? Why not buy another identical one? Never know when you’re going to need a backup right?

Then it would be more targeted. To the degree this is happening, it’s with the Treasury, and it’s coming from rural banks. Not Silicon Valley. Tan and Cuban’s tweets come to mind as those which sound nice to their founders but solidify opposition on the Financial Services and Banking committees for being so brazenly out of touch.

Crowd funding is a complete failure. Look at any high quality project or content used by hundreds of thousands and they will have a dozen people donating if any. Charging for content access is the only way, freeloaders can be left behind.
If no one flied them, they wouldn't exist, and regular economy airlines would be cheaper. To be clear, I am saying that spirit airlines tier ultra low cost airlines are bad for everyone because it means that the economics of scale don't kick in as well for the economy tier airlines right above the bottom as offered by say, delta or Alaska (which is the first level at which flying isn't torture)

Consumers are wrong and actively bad for being willing to buy ultra low cost tickets on long flights. These people are wrong and regulations should exist to prevent their lunacy. We do this in many other industries where there would be a race to the bottom of regulations didn't exist. Water, transportation, electricity, why not airlines?
I know how much money I have at risk and how much is insured. It would be pretty irresponsible for me to not and just assume someone will step in and give me their money if I lose mine.

I'm personally a conservative investor, which means amongst other things I forgo notional returns by making safer investments. So it definitely makes my angry to see people that had a less responsible money management strategy get to participate in all the upside and not have to take the downside.

The quiet, wooded property my grandparents owned when I was a kid, was great. You could get lost in the trees as a kid.

Now the trees are so thin you can see the neighbors large trucks and hear them all hours of the day.

Wanting peace and quiet is reasonable, but I don't think the only answer for it is perpetual sprawl.
It’s literally a significant portion of America’s economic future you’re killing off, plus wineries, farmers, and VC’s pension fund holdings. It would be insane to let that just go boom.

Mass unemployment in tech is not in national interests. It will lead many foreigners to head home and start/join competitors and strangle future GDP.
> > I can easily imagine this being weaponized by short sellers and foreign actors.

There is nothing to weaponize. If we taught the basics of finance everybody would know that the money you have in the bank is not yours but they are a IOU from the bank.

And if you wire them out to another account that you hold with another bank that is going to still be an IOU aelbit from a different bank.

The only true and true money guaranteed by the Federal Reserve is the Federal Reserve Note. All the rest is an IOU.

We accept to deal in IOUs because physical transportation, storage and protection of physical notes would be a nightmare, but still the nightmare can AND WILL show up for somebody randomly in the sample of participants in the form of insolvency of the banking institution issuing their IOUs.

It's all very clear and also the reason why some people refuse to deal with banks and opt for cash transactions and metals. Not to mention the hard assets such as water, gasoline, weapons, animals, vehicles, real estate etc.

These people seem loons 364 days out of 365, but there is a reason why evoloution put that seed thought inside their brains.

Unemployment insurance is already available. California and all the west coast states at least will also give free insurance in many cases. There is little risk to being unemployed especially for a short term while employees slowly get their money back after the asset sales.

I don't really see the big problem here.

Svb still has substantial assets. In the coming weeks, they will be sold and solid portions of the money returned. If companies have to temporarily furlough people, they will still get a reasonable wage that most Americans live on.
Healthy food can be fattening and unhealthy food can be not fattening. It has very little to do with the type of food and everything to do with the density of calories in the food, and the amount of that food eaten.

No one ever got fat eating only vegetables. But you can't eat only vegetables and get all the necessary nutrients(at least not easily).
That’s precisely the funny thing with copyright:

If you create a work where you can clearly tell what the source was for your inspiration because you stole from another source, it’s a violation of copyright. But if you create a work and you can not tell what the source is of your inspiration, because you stole from so many different sources, not only is not a violation of copyright, but it’s actually the creation of a new copyrighted work in its own right.

ML is short-circuiting this legal framework. Because now stealing from thousands of different authors, in a way that it’s no longer possible to tell the sources can now be done with the press of a button.
so he paid for two families essentially. $209 for two hours for one lane, that’s ignoring the 7 pairs of shoes rented so it’s not an even split.

Divide by two, that’s about $105. A bit of a fast game, but younger kids need more time. So it costs more.

There’s an event fee in there too, likely because this is a party of more than 6.

Is the price too high? Sure. That event fee in particular. Possibly could have been avoided, but maybe the fees were the start of that slippery slope we seem to be sliding down.
Um, which part?
It's unhealthy and they can change it.

While there are many people that have a comparatively harder time to retain a healthy weight, no one has to be obese. A small minority might find it so hard to not become obese that they simply cannot manage it, but that fact should not dominate public discourse and act as an excuse for everyone.

More importantly, obesity is contagious. You give it to your kids and family. If you don't stop it, your loved ones might suffer.
And every instance of communism has devolved into authoritarianism.

I expected more of this as well. What are the odds that SVB was the only bank to make this mistake?
It's probably the difference in looking at weight versus calories. A cauliflower is, on average, 0.7-0.9 kg (1.5-2 pounds) and provides about 25 calories. A McDonalds burger is, on average, 0.2 kg (0.441 pounds) with about 250 calories. The cauliflower currently costs about 3 euros (yes, you read that right) in the Netherlands while a burger costs around 7 euros. So, calories per euro is 8 for the cauliflower and 35 for the burger.
There's really no good history for this kind of a case.

Washington Mutual was a bigger failure, but there was another lender who had already attempted to take it over, and had done due diligence, and Washington Mutual had a large amount of unsecured debt which allowed those lenders to take the hit and left depositors completely unscathed.

IndyMac was a smaller bank but it was over $10B in assets and the FDIC had to setup a Bridge Bank because the attempt to auction it off failed, so the FDIC had to impose a loss of 14% of total deposits on the depositors.

> Since 2007, the FDIC has served as receiver for over 525 banks. Only 9 of these failed banks had assets over $10 billion. Thus, the overwhelming majority, over 98 percent, had assets under $10 billion.

The FDIC routinely liquidates banks under $10B. What we have here is not routine, and is Washington Mutual-sized. The smoothness of Washington Mutual being taken over though was probably not something you can expect to rely on.

If a bank is giving depositors unparalleled benefits to bank with them [1], alarm bells should ring.

Let me be blunt. The last place I'd do my personal banking is the local bank of a region who's mantra includes: "move fast and break things".

[1] benefits include interest rates above average or offer to finance your start up.
The bank became a crypto onramp/offramp and also counted a bunch of web3 stuff to not draw down their deposits.

That we can't let crypto-ponzi involved stuff infect the real system and get bailouts is a general sentiment over this that makes sense. $250,000 per account is what we are mandated to compensate Circle legally and to go beyond is people who stayed out of crypto subsidizing the crypto ponzi scheme ecosystem.

USDC can probably maintain $1 from the crazy amount of slippage from people losing their keys anyway.

You can say that again.

It's actually crazy that now you can be gone from social media for 3-4 days and the entire environment has changed.

Logged on to twitter to see my _entire_ timeline full of takes from every side of the the political spectrum. I can't even untangle it and I don't care too.

My main issue is that _everyone_ presents having an "expert-like" grasp of the situation and knows _exactly_ what the solution is or isn't.

It's exhausting.
open additional bank accounts at other institutions until it is under 250k per account, or simply one account at a big 4 bank

the transfer should occur by wire transfer

go to the institution to accomplish the higher value wire transfer, there is no shortcut if you aren't using a bank that specifically made this easy (like SVB or First Republic Bank)
It’s a win-win; it might also reduce the kids’ propensity to waste time on edu stool, thus improving the pipeline of cheap labor and voters who don’t see anything wrong with being a perpetual underclass.
Keeping home with your family is very different than exchanging labor for money on the market.

Pretending otherwise to make a precious point is absurd. You know it.
Plants are beneficial to well being even if they aren't actively cleaning the air. Darkness cycles would happen for the plants when they do for the resident, while sleeping. There are lots of low maintenance plants that can grow exclusively on indoor light, and even without soil (e.g. Pothos). It's not for everyone, but would be a good option for many.
Gradient descent (or how the best algorithms are the most intuitive)
Thats true - I have flown Delhi-Newark in United Polaris business class a few times after the outbreak of the Ukraine war. What used to be a 14 hour flight is now over 15 hours due to the avoidance of Russian airspace. Even in business class with comfortable flat-bed seats, its becomes a bit of struggle towards the end of such long flights.
Dopamine is well: a hell of a drug, and there's far easier ways to get it than excising. For example: video games. Our brains want the most pleasure from the least amount of effort and don't work on long timelines in the future. So, it makes sense.

But I'm with you - I find that exercise works well for me as the one of the best things that makes life better. But I also avoid things like video games, drugs, too much sex with too many different partners (I keep it to one at a time) - that sort of thing, as I know it'll just throw me off.
Now people’s dumb opinions can be heard en masse. They can then even bubble up and get elected into congress. Before there was a muzzle by those who knew better who controlled the media and narrative. You can easily argue that gate kept all kinds of things that shouldn’t have been swept under the rug, but it turns out there’s a lot more dirt than coins under that rug.

You know it’s easy to have a change staged and only pull the trigger at the right moment, right?
> I'm glad that "fat acceptance" may be turning a corner and will be banished hopefully and there can be a semblance of rational discourse.

TFA doesn't even use the phrase "fat acceptance", which is a completely different thing than claiming "obesity is healthy". The former is simply an effort to destigmatize it, like we destigmatize other forms of addiction.

Also, "obesity is healthy" is a strawman — no credible person or group has ever asserted this. If you search for "obesity is healthy", you'll see that every result makes it clear that obesity is not healthy.
I’m as much PC/Linux as I am Mac. Lots of experience putting together more computers than I can count, or having them put together.

I think there might be a different use case for me but to compare with your economics - I picked up a base mac studio (m1 max with 32 gb) for about $1370 USD with 8 months warranty remaining. It’s letting me test my daily setup to see if everything can run on Apple silicon yet without intervention.. if not, I’ll be able to get rid of it at little to no loss, and decide if I want to carry that much computing power in a laptop or not, or head on to other options.

My interest currently is computational power, per watt. Not much comes close to Apple Silicon.

The cost of a loaded pc can quickly outstrip other options with electricity costs included so it needs to be useful in any case.

The integrated speed of the Apple silicon, ram, and ssd is a little astonishing. More than I expected to admit. I don’t know if there’s anything like it on PC. If Apple silicon supported eGPUs it would interest me.

Comparable PCs have described are generally power inefficient. Still, the system you’re laying out is interesting, especially the ram, mind sharing a bill of materials?
Because you claimed there were “no ifs or buts”. But there are. When you lose weight, you have to be careful to do it in a safe way. Even the safest way of losing weight, diet and exercise, can kill you if done the wrong way.
Weight loss can be a sign of health problems, particularly if it’s unexpected. Often people lose a lot of weight before they die.

This makes collecting and interpreting the statistics more difficult because you need to distinguish “good” weight loss from “bad” weight loss. BMI isn’t enough to figure it out.
"No clouds" is supposed to imply "this device isn't dependent upon a cloud-hosted service of some kind". i.e. data is either stored locally or sent to another device configured by the owner, and any remote access is direct over the internet instead of being mediated by a service like a lot of IoT devices use. It's not supposed to imply "no internet".

It's a solid niche IMO. I don't like buying devices that will effectively stop working if the manufacturer goes out of business or shuts down the services they're dependent upon. OTOH, there's generally a lot more effort required by the end user to get it working, so I completely understand why most manufacturers go with a service-mediated design.
I've created a tool for replaying HTTP archives:

There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Useful when you're a front-end developer and the backend app is not easily deployable locally and the test environment is down.

Also with it you can make a blazing-fast, browsable snapshot of JIRA.
I don't think so. There are some example scenarios in tables on this page: https://www.fdic.gov/resources/deposit-insurance/brochures/i...

"Find 40 banks" Sadly, that's your job now. Alternatively, I could imagine more VCs from now on will stop giving out the whole round in one wire. They'll start wiring money only in small traunches. You'll legally have claim to the whole $10M, but will be moving to a "just in time" system so you can make payroll. Or we could raise FDIC limit, but politically, that sounds untenable right now.
I think you would do well to not try to instantly bucket people into "my political tribe" or "the enemy political tribe." Not only is it lazy and harmful, you just aren't good at it. Plenty of people on the left would describe the relationship between members of congress and banking institutions to be corrupt.
Which shows you it's not "AI"; it's more like some hacky code running right inside the phone which detects a plausible moon-like object in the image and fills it with pixels from a canned image.

This is a lot like the ages-old trick of a compiler being rigged to recognize particular source file (benchmark program) and pulls out a hand-optimized assembly program.
"The SR-71 was of course made of Titanium and dealt with (2) by taking off with as little fuel as possible and then refueling once it was up in the air -- an answer which isn't suitable for civilian use."

Couldn't we, in theory, slingshot the planes into the air to achieve the same relative fuel burn rates ?

I think this only exists on aircraft carriers ?
I challenge the 'clearly' in your comment: It's a saturated blue text on a blueish, gray background. I would not have seen it without your comment :)
Not an expert, but it seems like it is true. Quoting page 11:

"""
When a revocable trust owner names five or fewer beneficiaries, the owner’s trust deposits are insured up to $250,000 for each unique beneficiary.

This rule applies to the combined interests of all beneficiaries the owner has named in all formal and informal revocable trust accounts at the same bank. When there are five or fewer beneficiaries, maximum deposit insurance coverage for each trust owner is determined by multiplying $250,000 times the number of unique beneficiaries, regardless of the dollar amount or percentage allotted to each unique beneficiary. Therefore, a revocable trust with one owner and five unique beneficiaries is insured up to $1,250,000.
"""
It is confusing, but it does seem that designating beneficiaries increases the insurable amount. Examples in tables on this page: https://www.fdic.gov/resources/deposit-insurance/brochures/i...

Silicon Valley Bank has been a trusted and long-time partner to the venture capital industry and our founders. For forty years, it has been an important platform that played a pivotal role in serving the startup community and supporting the innovation economy in the US.

The events that unfolded over the past 48 hours have been deeply disappointing and concerning. In the event that SVB were to be purchased and appropriately capitalized, we would be strongly supportive and encourage our portfolio companies to resume their banking relationship with them.

In other words, they're going to keep doing the same stupid thing, more vigorously.
Lol somehow always blaming “deregulation” and politicians

I’ll tell you what, it’s not regulators that caused this. IMO Banks need less regulation (and more smaller banks) and need to fail more (and have more jail time). It’s the banking executives and business analysis team at fault here.

Just like it’s the startups error for failing to have multiple bank accounts.

Some advice, be robust and self reliant. Assume everywhere you keep money could / will be stolen.

As an individual, I have 3 bank accounts - 1 large U.S. bank and 2 regional (in different regions). Each account has a minimum of 1 month living expenses, plus I keep 1 month expenses in cash on hand.

I do the same with investments, particularly after the whole “we won’t let you short sell GameStop” on with firms (but not others).

Be robust, that’s your job as an individual or founder.
