If worried about security concerns, just provide a common port interface (RJ-45/RJ-11) on the unit with a simple, well-documented, serial-based protocol on RS485/RS232. You can sell an add-on device to bridge that to Ethernet/simple API, and easily replace/recall that inexpensive module if there are issues.

The hackers will do what they want to anyway, and they'll implement cool interfaces/HA plugins/controllers on RPis or ESP32s for free. Someone will get enterprising and package a pre-built/programmed ESP32 unit that makes it plug-and-play for nerdy, but less capable users, and your company can avoid any liability from users using an 'unsupported' add-on.

Since 2013 there have been 71 banks fail according to the FDIC's bank failures in brief Infograph. Those 71 banks had assets totaling 23,399.20 million (or 23 billion). SVB had asses totaling 209,000 million (209 billion).[1]

Where are the 500 banks again and again every year over the last decade?

ORMs are great for avoiding boilerplate and adding some typesafety. But once you start doing complicated things like JOINs, it's better to drop into raw SQL.

I couldn't agree more with the first half, or disagree more with the second :) Once you're operating at scale, it takes a lot of fine-tuning, know-how, experimentation, and reading docs to get things moving efficiently.
"Island of Shame" by David Vine really gets into the details of this if you really want to know the history. Spoiler: The United States fully controls this territory because of the (very active and strategically important) military base. The UK ownership is just a cover... (an entire book could be written just about this alone)

Also, the people brought there were slaves. No one lived on the islands originally. This is why the various governments felt they could move these people where ever they wanted. The people became self-sufficient, of course. Then were forceably moved to Mauritius and other places, given a stipend, but no land or access to any resources when the US military expanded their base. Basically dumped the people into ghettos.

This is still a very open wound in 2023.

I mean, if it’s for real estate, you have to have a written document because of the statute of frauds. If you need a writing then there’s no reason not to put in some nominal consideration. I think of section 90 as the last resort, for situations that were likely not papered correctly, or at all.

And kill people. My father in law was killed by a Medicaid Advantage company canceling his skilled nursing. They admitted to doing it routinely. “You just have to call and appeal” only while his skilled nursing was denied the nursing facility “downgraded his care” which apparently means “we’ll park you in a hallway till this gets sorted”. He was in the ER within 72 hours of being discharged from the hospital. ER doctor said “cardiac arrest due to low electrolytes” the man was on an IV. Know how low electrolytes happens when you’re on an IV? They don’t fill the bag. Why didn’t they fill the bag? Downgraded from skilled nursing. Know why he was downgraded? Because his claim was denied. What was it denied? “They’re all denied. You have to call and appeal”

This country is so fucked. Our plan for elder care is to literally kill them with paperwork.

Unless the US is willing to redistribute wealth from capital to labor, from the old to the young and rich to the poor it will be difficult for the Fed to sustain high rates of inflation. Rich people can only buy so many cars and the old eventually start preferring security (savings) over consumption.

The massive stimulus combined with the rising millennial generation is driving inflation along with supply chain challenges, breakdown of globalization and a massive increase in the Feds balance sheet. The question isn’t why there is inflation but the question is why is there so little?
Ok, but it might get long. And again, I'm not looking for an adversarial discussion.

1. Animal Rights

Animals don't have rights because rights are a human construct. Absent humans, animal rights don't make any sense. Animals can only have "rights" in their relationship to humans, and humans are the ones enforcing those "rights". Therefore I don't think animal rights as a term makes sense. To me, they're closer to societal rules (or laws) for interacting with animals. This also goes for pets.

I don't know what you're getting at with dog's milk. Sure, I'll drink dog milk. Lots of people eat dog all over the world too.

2. Animal lives

Morality is a concept that applies to humans as they deal with other humans. You can only be judged immoral by another human being. A human being slaughtering a cow isn't judged to be immoral by the cow, because the cow has no concept of morality, only survival.

Therefore, the unprovoked killing of animals is not inherently immoral, like killing humans is. However, the purpose and method can be deemed immoral.

3. Eating animals is not immoral

Killing an animal for food is acceptable to me, and to the vast majority of people, since it is something we are all subject to in nature. Having food preferences is also not immoral. Bears and other animals have food preferences. Therefore choosing to eat meat instead of something else is not immoral.

However, I believe causing undue harm and cruelty are immoral. I don't want to contribute to a system that enables that cruelty.

4. Dominion

I don't know why you linked me this. I've already seen it. I know how fucked up industrial farming is. That doesn't mean eating animals is immoral.

Lastly, I disagree that they don't matter less than me. They do, I think humans are more important than animals.

This is patently untrue. Are you American? When someone says they played in high school, they usually mean varsity sports, which can be fiercely competitive and high level depending on the school. But regardless, it’s a competitive process to make the team.
It depends what you take "unfit" to mean.

Suppose I say that cars without seatbelts are "unfit" to use on public roads. Clearly I can't mean it's impossible to use such cars, people used to do it all the time, but perhaps I mean it's a bad idea to use them, and that's harder to argue with which is why we got laws saying you need seatbelts.
> The issue was all the "dry powder" that the bank accumulated over the past year.

Who is to blame for allowing the operating issues you explained? I’d argue it’s the CEO. All CEOs know that can’t just ignore the X when a CxO role is vacant. But that’s what you are saying happened.

Over the weekend, I built FeelBetterbot (https://feelbetterbot.com/), a therapy chatbot powered by AI. I posted it here earlier today and didn’t get any interest and was feeling a bit down, so I had a chat about it with FeelBetterBot. They suggested that maybe FeelBetterBot wasn’t a good fit for the HN audience, so I created CofounderBot, your virtual cofounder, powered by AI.

I’m sure that story sounds a little precious, but I’m finding real value in talking with these sorts of bots. Behind the screens, they’re just a thin wrapper around ChatGPT, but a bit of tuning for a specific use case seems to make the whole interaction much more natural.

I think this discussion is a losing discussion, as history is recast as being strictly only one way. I could speak of the stories I heard on Thursday from a historian down here, but people would instantly discount it. It very much reflects our current times, where all is seen as either white or black, but nothing seen as a shade of gray. Polarization has benefitted no side, in any debate.

They were already insolvent, the bank run did not cause that. They used accounting tricks to pretend they had more assets than they really did.
There is no need as they can just park the excess reserves with the Fed and earn a risk free rate with no duration risk.
You're confused about how bonds work and about opportunity costs.

You're assuming that the banks bought the bonds for their face value. Banks buy bonds for their price, not face value. The Treasury, for example, auctions their bonds so their price might never have been their face value. People of course pay more than the face value for a bond (what you call X)! One reason is because bonds pay interest; although this can happen in other rare situations when you willingly get a negative interest.

But that's not even the main problem.

If you hold the bond to maturity you have an asset that pays back i% in interest. But now you can get an equally risk-free asset that pays back j% of interest. Where j is far larger than the i that your bond is giving you.

You are losing money by being forced to hold this bond. When you get into a situation where you are better off selling the asset and buying a new one because of the interest rate difference, well, there you go, that's a real loss. Literally there's a course of action where your bank's balance sheet would be much bigger than where it is heading now. It's just an unrealized loss at the moment because people aren't pulling the trigger.

I don't know why you're downvoted.

I worked for a company that made NFT character skins for their games; of course when the game checked your wallet for game skins, it only looked for NFTs that were signed by the game company. As you said, impossible to clone or forge.

Of course anyone could (and did) clone the ARTWORK associated with the NFT and create fake/pirate NFTs; but they had no in-game value. That's still a problem for players who might get duped by the fakes though.

In the end, though, using the blockchain didn't enable any functionality for the users that couldn't have been accomplished using a plain database of ownership. In theory the blockchain would grant some permanence to the asset, but once the game company shut down the market value of the asset cratered anyway.
As someone who regularly sound up temporary servers in Digital Ocean, I have no idea what you're talking about. There has been absolutely no change whatsoever in how it works in the last 10 years or so.

> What do these people care about, then?

Bad user experience, ads and conflict of interest with regards to monetization (the user wants to use the product to see content they want to see, but the platform wants to show the user content - or ads, or as we used to call it: spam - it wants the user to see).

> As far as I can tell, the majority of them were perfectly contented with Twitter as-is until Elon bought it

The majority of them are actually content even after Elon bought it. The only thing that really spilled outside of "tech Twitter" was the banning of journalists. Everything else is just tech people making up a storm in a teacup.
> but the cost of the liabilities (deposits) that offset them has gone way up.

That assumes the bank is paying a higher interest rate to depositors in the interim. Banks don’t care about inflation directly only competition between each other.

There’s upsides to having someone deposit 100 million at 4% rather than 10k people depositing 10k each @ 0.1%, but also risk. Major accounts have vastly less overhead per dollar deposited, but such accounts are also highly motivated to get the highest returns possible even if they need to move to another bank.

It may not be hard to avoid system python, but that doesn't mean it's not also easy to mess everything up in 99 different barely-reproducible ways. I'm perfectly comfortable setting up python for projects I work on (with maybe 2-3 different methods), but that doesn't mean it's user-friendly or beginner-friendly. It doesn't mean the abstractions aren't taxing. I really agree with a lot of the criticism here.

I think many people would be surprised by how many people lived this way into the late 90s.

Even now, venture to mountainous regions of West Virginia and you can still find households without electricity or running water.

I think in this modern times people assume all such folks want those amenities, but are too poor to afford them, when really some of them couldn't be any happier to live as they do.

Writing for Yourself vs. Writing for the Reader
I’ve never been able to figure out the difference and haven’t cared to dig much deeper. I use the freeze and have been able to unfreeze on the spot when needed (I.e. at the counter at a bank).

From what I could tell the lock is a dark pattern to charge for something that is free and (potentially) less effective than the freeze since, from my understanding, the freeze is regulated where the lock is not.
Batteries and dams can be used to store energy. It doesn't have to be sunny and/or windy all the time. Excess generation capacity takes care of the issue.

Regardless, burning natural gas for heat is burning 100% fossil fuels for heat, while electricity is not generally generated 100% by fossil fuels. Using electricity is still a huge improvement even now. And if you're using baseboard heating (electric), heat pumps are way more efficient.
Going deep into conditional types, and trying to contort Typescript into a dependent type system despite the fact it is not one!
I think this is a question of interface vs. implementation.

Python, JavaScript, and other languages which are traditionally considered interpreted but may do (JIT) compilation in their implementation are used as if they were interpreters: to the user, there's no separate compilation step. You run python somefile.py or node somefile.js (or refresh a browser holding a page), and editing the source code causes the next invocation to take those changes immediately. Contrast this with C/C++ and Java where there is definitely an explicit compilation step in nearly all implementations.

The program in this article thus is an implementation of a compiler, but has the interface of an interpreter.

Perhaps propaganda is too provocative a word, but the cultural hegemony of the US is real and should be, from the US government perspective, preserved.

All that to say I don't think the other commenter meant the US is bad necessarily, just that this is valuable to the US and her interests.

Aaron Klein (former Treasury official, now with Brookings) agrees with you:

>There are just under 5,000 banks in America ... the right answer for the number of banks to fail in a year is greater than zero. If you have no bank failing, then you probably have bigger problems in the economy. Look, the first time in American history you went a year without a bank failure was 2005. 2006 was the second year and the regulators told us at the time, that they'd won, that this was great regulation, see, no one was failing, the system couldn't be safer.
