It's not like operating AWS doesn't involve any personnel cost, does it? Even though it was marketed as such, it has become clear that managing a public cloud such as AWS is at least as complex as managing a datacenter. Sure, you don't swap broken drives in RAID arrays but you have other complexities to deal with - and that complexity increases year by year.

hm soldiers are only expected to follow orders that to the best of their knowledge are lawful, and are held accountable for following unlawful ones. The law actually covers a lot of the cases that are very clearly wrong (i.e. torture or execute prisoners).

That leaves ambiguous situations where for example there is an order saying "get satellite data from that location". In this case, if the data end up used for something unlawful, I think the responsibility doesn't lie with the soldiers at the bottom of the chain, no.

Now for the case that best serves your comparison, generally serving in an army that very clearly wages a war of aggression. In this case yes I think soldiers carry the responsibility to not help in any way (which realistically would mean stop being soldiers). The difference in this case is that we can't compare an army waging an aggressive war, which is as clear an evil as we can imagine and is in fact considered a crime internationally, with a company that analyses data collected by consent, where the question is whether the mechanism for obtaining consent is good enough or not.
Does that only count "slave trade" as exporting slaves? I.e. it does not count local slavery, such as that of their subjugated neighbors.

Better capturing of storm runoff seems like a good idea to me, but if nothing else it would still be dependent on weather events.

I understand there is a lot of political pressure against desalinization plants in California but I never understood why? These are used effectively in other countries including the border country Mexico. The source is the essentially infinite and steady supply of ocean water, which would seem to be a clear win, right?

The arguments against desalinization in California have only been hyperbolic and devoid of facts. i.e. "environmental disaster!", "unsustainable stop gap!"

What are the environmental concerns at play that seem to be hyper specific to the California coast and no other coastal country employing these processes?
Brokered CDs are a good way to go and not mentioned in the article. They avoid the hassle of opening and managing multiple bank accounts with multiple banks. They're offered by many brokerages - I use them via Schwab.
I appreciate that's perhaps how it'll be viewed, but let's be clear here: "big tech" is not being bailed out. Apple, Google, Meta, etc. do not have a substantial portion of their cash in SVB. Sequoia, Andreesen, etc. do not have a substantial portion of their fund in SVB (most of it is kept by their LPs until actually used). Investors of SVB are not being bailed out -- shareholders exit last (as they should).

The people being "bailed out" are the owners and employees of small businesses and startups that, just by nature of having a deposit as SVB, unconsciously acted as a creditor to an institution that had an 'A' credit rating by Moody's, a 'Buy' rating by JPM, and had passed whatever monitoring and risk tolerance requirements put in place by the Fed.

I'm primarily a mobile dev, so I generally don't have much choice in the matter of what languages I use (Swift, Java, Kotlin).

Occasionally, for a side project, I'll need some sort of back-end. This usually means I need to get some data from somewhere, process it a bit, store it and then ask for it at a later date. JS (Typescript in my case) is more than adequate for this, and if I add Redis and Nginx I can get away with paying very little for a VPS to run it on quite reliably.

The JS landscape has lots of problems, but I don't wade too deep into it so I'm mostly content.

Just because you aren't clever enough to use it as a hacking tool doesn't also mean that others aren't. You can easily do basic things like snatch NFC data.

The input of the DFT is real, but the output is complex. Filtering in the Fourier domain means that the DFT of the image is multiplied with that of the filter. The resulting complex array is than converted into an output image by taking the magnitude. This destroys the phase information and makes the operation irreversible.

Another point of view is that there are infinitely many images that will produce the same result after blurring. Obviously, this makes the operation irreversible.
Because it's designed to optimize fuel efficiency, the use case is basically corporate greenwashing.

HR: "our company meetup allows authentic inclusive in-person interactions, all while helping save the environment, by only releasing 1M tons of CO2 rather than 1.03M tons."

The most environmentally friendly meeting is obviously one that happens online. In-person meetups increase retention but -- until teleportation is invented -- that retention comes at an environmental cost.

A similar tool could be designed to minimize something else (cost, flight time, etc.) which would have a better use case outside corporate ESG politics.
I see your point, I used this expression to emphasize the fact that it is not some abstract theory but something we are actually experiencing right now.

I meant that I don't agree with your sense of the word 'system', as clearly and obviously referring to software development. Of ourse, if paired up with the words 'development' or 'programming', the association is there.

- Systems Engineer, (e.g. aeronautics, robotics, banking, requirements)

- Systems Developer (business domains, processes & people, services)

It's certainly not always the case.

In planar Euclidean geometry, for any three points, if the triangle formed by those three points has all its angles less than 120 degrees, then the sum of the distances from the three points to certain points inside the triangle will be smaller than the sum of the shortest two sides. Only if one of the angles exceeds 120 degrees will one of the three points always have the shortest total travel distance.

The relevant concept is the 'Fermat point', which is the point that minimizes total distance from the vertices of a triangle.

In spherical geometry, it gets more complicated, but the same logic applies to spherical triangles that aren't too large. You can definitely find sets of three points on a sphere, such that points inside the triangle are the one which minimizes travel distance.

Scientists and "put up or shut up" people optimize for diff things. People who get results, in my experience, do the right things but don't usually have correct explanations.

You know, I think the US needs to force more hardware specs for components into the internet as a precondition to selling here. I think it would help the following things:

1) China and "the East" have a dominance in hardware. I don't think this is strategically good. I think we need a lot more skills in hardware electronics, especially if we electrify all our transport and have PV everywhere.

2) I think it is good for the environment: more broken crap can be recycled to adhoc devices and other uses, or might (gasp) be repaired.

3) It will help us be more creative with hardware to maintain the innovator's edge.

4) It will help with onshoring production for supply chain security. This is a country-level existential threat right now. Consider that COVID, which by all historical standards is a very very very weak pandemic, caused such disruption and insecurity in our day to day supplies.

5) I just get the sense that software innovation is declining, well, before chatGPT, but it seems we had a solid decade of "what's the next social network" was the height of software innovation. Um, no it's not, that is deck chair reshuffling.

Of course corporations don't like it, so oh well, it'll be dead on arrival.

I think that if you’re in the business of building compilers, tools, and OS level/system software you could give your users a leg up by using a low end, refurbished machine as your main.

If you can make it fast enough to be your daily driver then it will certainly be fast for the majority of your users. And you can support more users: those who can’t afford high end machines or those who don’t want to for climate/ecological reasons. There is still a ton of good hardware out there that doesn’t need to be e-waste.

It is a chord and scale library and does not show how those things relate or present them in a way conducive towards study of that. If you know how the information this app provides is related then you probably do not need the app for theory. Theory is not memorization of chords, scales and progressions; theory shows you how to construct those things so you do not need to memorize everything.

A slide rule would be more analogous to a musical instrument. If you want an analogy between this app and engineering in the slide rule days, it would be closer to a pocket sized reference book of log tables and formulas.

What the cloud gives you is the removal of the inter-department conflict between IT and Product Engineering. This is especially bad since IT is a cost-center rather than a revenue generator. Having a single provider who in turn has a single client is a horrible dynamic. It can work for the short term but long term you get really odd dynamics. Sure the cloud is expensive but so is the aggregate opportunity cost of waiting 3 months and spending 20 hours in meetings for a single dev server.

An overwhelming majority of full-time RVers don't drive that much. When your RV is your house (and not just a way to vacation), there is no rush. Long haul drives are draining, and you pass by tons of interesting places. Among the full-time RVers I know, slow travel is the norm. You spend more time in the places you particularly enjoy, and mosey toward a different place or climate when you decide the time is right.

They can get bridge loans or sell their deposit claims at a discount (in exchange for the liquidity), if they didn’t otherwise have supplemental insurance.

improve common people awareness on tech security

Not really. Nerds think this is true because they imagine everyone else is similarly interested in technology; they're not. You would have to spend 5 or 10 minutes explaining to an average non-tech person what the F0 does and then they would probably throw up their hands or mention the police rather than learn security stuff themselves. Very few people want to know about security, they just want to buy it. Learning has a high and unpredictable time cost.

People who want to develop defensive security awareness can do it anyway, same as criminals. Common people absolutely do not.

There are several lessons to learn from this SVB collapse that affect everyone:

1. Bonds are not risk-free as many would suggest. Even US Treasuries (conssidered the safest of bonds) are subject to this. Bond prices move inversey with interest rates. SVB had long-term MBS bonds at a low interest rate when interest rates went up. Yes, their bond portfolio still paid coupons but if you ever want or need to liquidate those bonds, they're subject to the interest rate price movements.

2. There's a principle in finance called the matching principle that you match the duration of debt to the life of what it's for. So if you're building a plant with a 30 year life, use 30 year debt. Many a company has tried to save money by, say, rolling over short-term debt because it's "cheaper" and have been made insolvent by a spike in interest rates.

SVB had 10 year MBS bonds for a higher return when they made need to liquidate those bonds to cover withdrawals.

For individuals, don't park your money in 30 year bonds if you need it next year. You're betting on interest rates. If that's not what you want, don't do it.

3. Once again we learn the value of regulation and get even more evidence of how deregulation doesn't work. Deregulation increases profits by shifting risks to the taxpayer. That's all.

Tricks like splitting amounts between banks shouldn't be necessary. It is incredibly difficult to pierce the finances of banks and expose the risks of a run on the bank, particularly when on paper the bank has a lot of assets. This shouldn't be necessary. Custodial assets shouldn't be risked.

SVB's assets need to be stripped and sold to cover depositor liabilities, shareholders be damned.

There are 2 political parties - they cannot possibly encompass all the wants, desires, priorities of any individual except one that blindly follows every party plank. We also have an openly pay-to-play patronage system. In this system it’s more important to financially support individual politicians who have power and influence over your specific industry sectors and priorities. Therefore I allocate assets to certain politicians that benefit my companies, regardless of political party. That said I tend to favor republicans more because they generally are more pro-business.
