Hi there, co-founder of Gusto here. Running payroll from your personal account won't work. It has to be a business account. Please see below a msg I wrote earlier in the thread about some advice on how to get that done on time --

*

To clarify — If you have not yet updated your bank account on file to another (see article), you will have to wire funds to Gusto in order to make payroll on time. Log in to the app, run payroll, and you’ll get a prompt with more details and the specific cut-off, but it’s usually 10am PST in the morning of payroll.

In terms, of getting a new bank set up, I’ve seen people open bank accounts same-day with Mercury (online) or Chase (walking into a branch). Wiring funds from SVB to one of these banks should take <24hr to complete.

But yes, you CAN initiate a wire transfer from SVB if you prefer to do that. Note that some SVB customers are seeing issues with the portal right now (probably given high traffic).

Hope this helps.

Oh, also we created this resource hub to help SVB customers with tips like the above: https://gusto.com/company-news/silicon-valley-bank-closure-r...

There is a market for it. Not every human sits everyday watching interest rates, stock prices or other financial signals. I, for one, am glad that banks are competing for money with any interest rate.
I am a solo indie game dev - and have released Industry Idle[1] - a factory building/supply chain management/trading sim about two years ago during pandemic where I've got some free time. Now I am working on a spiritual successor called CivIdle while maintaining Industry Idle (it has a global real-time player driven market, which surprisingly takes quite some effort for maintenance, and that has slowed down the new development by a considerable amount)

P.S. Industry Idle has been open sourced a while ago, if anyone is interested in the code[3]

> Creating a non-cloud capable system is dumb

No, you haven't understood. It will be cloud-capable. They're asking that it's not cloud-only.
It is also unlikely, being a GPU based terminal, that it is written without lots of unsafe memory munging and other fun things, since the underlying API's are still C/C++, and even if they aren't, interacting with GPUs and other hardware is just hard sometimes if they haven't been built thinking of your programming of language. There is of course, a difference between wrapping C apis and them being automatically unsafe, and using lots of unsafe rust like memory transmutation/etc.

In the case of wezterm, a quick glance shows that not only is this correct (lots of unsafe rust, even beyond the normal use of wrapped functions), there is also not a lot of documentation about what the safety conditions of the various unsafe code is.

(which is the usual good practice in handling this sort of thing).

So to your point, saying it's "written in rust" doesn't matter here.
It's arguably a good thing if depositors at SVB are made whole by the Feds, but I'm curious about the double standards with how banks vs crypto exchanges are treated when they fail. When a crypto exchange fails, there's been a sort of glee and "I told you so", never any concern for the people involved. Nobody went to bat for these people to (in some cases) even get a portion of their life savings back. If we as a society are saying it's a good thing for the Feds to make depositors in institutions that fail whole, why is this only applying to one form of exchange? If crypto is a legal thing, then I'm not seeing a strong case for treating it any differently by the financial system. Just something that rubs me the wrong way about this case.

If we're talking startups here, still working on product market fit with small active user counts.. this is massive overkill.

Every startup I've been part of (except one) could've very easily been hosted from a single server under someone's desk (sure, get two for redundancy). The cost would be approximately nothing instead of a 5 figure AWS monthly bill. This isn't resume-building though, so it doesn't happen.

(Amusingly, the one startup I was part of that grew way too big for my "server under the desk" hosting model, they went to a colocated datacenter.)

And 8gb is all you will ever have on the Asus, since it's soldered to the board.

So the comparison between the two is completely dishonest because the Framework is an upgradable computer that can be used for decades, and the Asus is a toy which will be rusting in some 3rd world landfill in two years.

The site is kind of sparse with specifics, this seems like a marketing ploy to people who don't know heat pumps exist or have existed for decades. Mostly marketed to people who think a gas furnace is the only option

What do I get out of this $10k, 24k btu system that I don't get in a $4,695/36k BTU Mr Cool mini-split, or $4,528/5 ton (~60kbtu) ducted Goodman heat pump system?

If you're going to be charging 2.5x per btu, you're probably going to need to explain why
It's a gamble to move venvs.

The real way to move venvs is to freeze the venv (i.e. make a requirements.txt) and then pip -r requirements.txt to recreate the venv.

This process is really the only thing about venvs that ever causes me trouble.

> Why is this so prevalent and people see it as a viable strategy instead of focusing on product and customers?

Because there is a market for easy money courses. As long as there is a demand and easy to do then people will work to supply that demand.

For example, imagine if there was just a single person making these "make money doing X" books, he would get very rich. People would copy him to also get rich, and then enough people enter until it is no longer easy to become rich making such books. So just standard capitalism.
I replaced my electric furnace with a heat pump. It takes up the same space as the old furnace, so you're not wasting any space inside the house. There is an outside unit, but we just put it on the side of the house where we don't see or hear it. They are noisy outside, that's one thing they don't always tell you.

When the temps are too cold out, there are still electric elements inside the unit in the house. Sure, that's probably not saving me any power when it's running, but most of the time it's not. It pretty much only kicks in when there's a big temp differential between desired temp and current temp. It's basically like having the best of both worlds. Plus, as a bonus, I got A/C for the summer to offset all my winter savings.
It also makes it very hard for new devs willing to learn Python. Coming from Ruby and JavaScript, you just use bundler or npm, but Python is so strange, even the way it runs files is different, with the module thing.
I guess I'm wondering what this offers over calling an HVAC company and having them install a heat pump system. The system seems expensive at $14,000 for a 48k BTU 18 SEER system. It looks like I can get that for $4,000. Is the sleek software and design of your units worth the extra $10,000, especially when I'm not really going to see my air handler frequently?

I do like that it monitors CO2 and offers humidification, but presumably that means that it needs a hookup to a water line for humidification (not that easy since my air handler is in my attic) and a source of fresh air (so presumably a hole in the roof or something to accommodate that).

I'm also curious if the mini-split system on your site would also handle fresh air and humidification. Wouldn't that require each air handler to have access to fresh air and water?

I'm also curious why 18 SEER? Are there diminishing returns above that? I'm in a pretty cold climate so I've been thinking it would be better to get a 20 SEER unit.

My suggestion for your company: Add stoves and hot water heaters to your offering. I'm not going to switch to a heat pump and continue to have natural gas for my stove and hot water heater. If I'm going to put in a heat pump, I'd want to get natural gas out of my place. I don't want to have to get a heat pump from you, then call someone else to deal with my water heater and another person to deal with my stove.

I'm certainly not an expert on this so maybe you'll just say that you're using more reliable equipment than the stuff I've seen, but it seems like something I'm more inclined to go with a local HVAC company than a startup.
> The comments here don't feel that out of line that you need to be this defensive / thin skinned.

It's not the first time that this tool is discussed and, unfortunately, looking at the comments made in the past, I would definitely consider them out of line.

So I'm not surprised that the parent poster feels like that about this place.
No, just like a taxi doesn't charge extra if you're too fat, even though it costs him more in fuel.

Obviously they can send reminders to keep the doors closed... Or have sensors on the windows and have it not heat when a window is open...

Or they could just not renew the service for customers who leave the window open all year.
It sounds quite bad, doesn't it? Almost like a default is all but imminent.

It's not. Credit default swap (CDS) spreads can be used to infer a probability of default. Per year this probability is roughly equal to the spread divided by 1 minus the recovery rate (RR). RR is known after the fact, obviously, but history shows it's in the neighborhood of 40%. 453 basis points is 0.0453, if we divide this by 0.6 we get 7.55%. That's not an insignificant number, but still, there's a 92.5% probability that Credit Suisse will not default this year.

Actually it's much higher than that. Those who sell default insurance need to make some money. If you look at history, the probability of default you can calculate out of the CDS market is at least 10 times higher than the historical probability of default. So, in reality the probability that CS would default this year is less than 1%. Actually it is much, much less, because CS is too big to fail. It is considered a globally systemically important bank, or G-SIB [1]. What that means is that in exchange a for higher level of regulatory scrutiny the regulators will bail it out.

The original airpods did not sound good at all, so I don't see what your point is here. Yes, they're still better than phone speakers, but if people actually cared about quality they wouldn't sell as much.
It sounds like a useful and important product (if perhaps duplicative of extant offerings) but I'm afraid the government has blown up your market.

All one has to do now is bank somewhere that "everyone thinks safe". So long as the community sharing this belief is sufficiently large and politically connected, the government will underwrite their belief. Questioning the groupthink is for risk nerds.

I'd love to upgrade to an electric heat pump, however being out in the urban-wild land interface of California, we're subject to occasionally multi-day power outages, for which having propane-based heating is a god-send in a winter storm.
Offer an option to have propane-based backup heating element for such times would be a killer feature for us, as running electric-based heating probably kills our Tesla power walls in short order.

> "and pay for and install maintain and upgrade the hardware"

The problem is that the cost of running the kit has much less to do with the actual HVAC equipment itself and has to do with your house - which no sane HVAC company wants to make guarantees on.

- What kind of insulation is in the walls? What's the R-value? The vast majority of home owners do not know this, and many homes have old and deeply substandard insulation.

- What kind of windows do you have? Expecting an HVAC company to guarantee the thermal properties of your windows seems unrealistic.

- How many windows do you have? Do you keep them open a lot? How many doors? Are the doors well-sealed?

- What is the attic situation? What's the insulation in the attic like?

The list goes on. I can potentially see a company willing to entertain such a guarantee for a brand new home that they knew the specs of, but for an existing home it feels totally unrealistic.
Incremental view maintenance is the general problem and there was recently an extension or feature released to help with this: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Incremental_View_Maintenanc...

The problem is that I think a lot of people will do these big joins and serve them via graphql or a deep json object...they get all the data they need...but then to update this query may be inefficient depending on the query plan. The query plan won't optimize for fine-grained reactivity of certain parts of the result, nor does it know about other queries that will be run which prevents intelligent caching of sub-queries.
There are some combined space heating + water heating heat pump options out there. A few points to watch out for (1) install of an extra hydronic loop for the air handler can be expensive (2) your air handler + heatpump combination will not run as efficiently because of the losses associated with a secondary loop (3) there's a bit of a trick to getting the heat pump properly sized for cold weather + domestic hot water operation (4) if the demand temperatures for domestic hot water and space heating are far apart, the whole system will run at the lowest efficiency dictated by the highest demand temperature.
Yeah, why was that?

Oops, sorry, not supposed to ask such questions.
I live in the area where Tyson has most of its poultry operations, and I know a few people who work for them fairly well - including a couple who are working there under false identities due to immigration status.

Tyson knows. They couldn't _not_ know. They seem to maintain an acceptable level of "plausible deniability" at least, and I've not seen any evidence that they're explicitly allowing it to happen, or even that it's their preference. It seems more like they _have_ to tolerate it. If they tried to aggressively stamp out their workers using false documentation, they'd lose a big part of their experienced workforce and would incur significant additional labor costs as the market adjusted to the change.

More to the point, those people aren't just going to shrug their shoulders and head back to their home countries. Many of them would just go through more complicated steps to get false documents that passed the increased scrutiny. Tyson would have to pay more to get workers. Much of that money would be spent by the very same employees obtaining and maintaining false identities, and the people they're getting them from aren't exactly upstanding citizens.

If anything, I'd expect a crackdown on illegal labor practices here to result in funneling more money to criminal organizations (i.e., "the cartels") and tying the immigrant community more deeply with them. It really looks like a lose/lose proposition from where I sit.

NOTE: None of the above is a comment on US immigration policy, or indicative of my personal position on how that should be handled.

All-electric house owner here. 2x Carrier heat pumps, ducted air handlers. One of the carrier units is 13 years old and going great. Electrostatic filters on the air handlers. The house was built in the 50s and renovated in 2010, doubling the square footage. That's when they put in the oldest unit.

Idk if it has to do with the mid-Atlantic temperature swings on the marginal seasons, but this time of year the house will get weirdly cold around 6/7pm, so we bump up the heat a couple degrees. It resets to schedule after two hours. The system has a hard time keeping up if it stays below 20 for an extended period of time, but that just means it holds somewhere around 65ºF instead of 68ºF.

We're not near seasonal wildfires so air quality is never an issue for us. In fact I notice when we leave the house for the day and come back several hours later, the air in the house has a reassuring "neutral" smell (sealed house cycling old air uninterrupted).

We also have a whole-house fan, a relic from the original build, which is incredible when you want to cycle in fresh air periodically. More homes should have these.

Anyway, high seer home-scale heat pumps are just pricy things, but they do work well and efficiently in their existing form. The thermostat we use is also by carrier and is _fine_. I don't see anything here that's a significant improvement from our own setup, but they do look nice.

We have a big house. If we wanted to be more energy efficient at this point, we'd need similar setup in a smaller house. I don't think nice looking residential mechanicals are going to help the transition to cleaner energy sources any faster. Sorry.
