The first amendment to the US constitution does not apply to Canada. Unless you believe US law is globally binding.

(That said, Canada does have their own freedom of speech, under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.)
Call it what you want but yes, having strong empowered opinionated leadership has proven over and over to make products people prefer. This site is one of them.

It’s why freedom as in anarchy social media sites keep becoming far right nazi cesspools. Nobody who isn’t one of them wants to be around them.

If DIDs are just a self-signed document format/spec for what the fields look like and how to handle/process one and how to attach signed assertions then great! That's all we need. I thought the idea was you'd publish your identity to a chain and the chain would "ratify" it or something. That part seems unnecessary.
Yeah: I remember drawing boxes and arrows in CS61A at UC Berkeley when learning about closures, but not everyone I work with took that class, remembers that stuff, or was taught it in the first place.

As bad as it sounds, even if it was an ELE*, I think killing off what has become a monoculture will not necessarily be all that bad for innovation or the ecosystem (it will be bad for the people at the companies that die obviously).

Tan makes it sound like it will favor the balance of power to big tech. I think big tech is irrelevant here, and it may actually shift the balance of power away from SV stereotype startups and give some oxygen to other businesses.

* honestly I think most solvent startups will find workarounds, it's more going to be a big stress than actual destruction
I guess that depends on your use case and risk profile. Linux containers are a pretty well established isolation mechanism and you can potentially add some additional safety with per-tenant dedicated nodepools.

If pods have added privileges or there is a really low risk tolerance, maybe that's not enough isolation.

Sounds like you can change the container runtime with EKS (not sure if that impacts AWS support) so you could use gVisor or runvm

> First, after the collapse of the USSR no information on these efforts was revealed.

On the contrary, quite a bit of evidence about these "active measures" campaigns was later found in the Mitrokhin Archives. Thing is, ideologies tend to take on a life of their own long after their original cause has subsided. The current "post-modern" woke discourse in the Western world can be understood as essentially a zombie variant of precisely the sort of KGB indoctrination Bezmenov talks about, cross-mutated with the highly successful memeplex of the "Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution" from China. (For better or for worse, Mao Zedong was greatly admired by radical youths in the 1970s and 1980s; and the Cultural Revolution - doing away with everything that's too old, traditional and counter to revolutionary goals - was very much credited to him at the time. Of course, we have since learned that the story was more complicated than that.)

> Making an appointment with a primary care doctor and showing up to it isn’t that much harder than making an appointment with a telehealth doctor and showing up to it.

It sure as hell is when you have ADHD. I know because I've done it. The difference is night and day, and I'm really good at appointments.

> Let’s not downplay the effectiveness of non-stimulant ADHD medications

In other words: let's please downplay the effectiveness of stimulant medication. No. That's my answer. No.

> The downside is that the non-stimulant medications can take some time to become fully effective

That's incredibly significant if you are dealing with ADHD symptoms. It means you must not a habit before treatment. And if they don't work, you have to taper off. If stimulants work they work immediately.

But that's not the whole story: non-stimulant medication is helpful for a lot of patients! And stimulant medication is helpful for a lot of patients! Choosing which one to start with is important, and the decision is in the hands of the prescribing doctor. Let them do their job.

The idea that we should be avoiding stimulant medication is not backed by any science. Stimulants are reliable and effective. When prescribed to patients in a responsible way (not just because they asked please, but because they are pursuing treatment) stimulant medication is proven to be very safe.

> Telehealth pill mills like Cerebral only make the situation worse, as the doctors have no interest in long term patient outcomes

Yes indeed, that is a real problem, and I totally agree we should get rid of them for that very reason.

But what do we replace them with? A system that is fundamentally broken for the people it is meant to serve? That isn't good enough.

Despite having every wrong and damaging perverse incentive, "telehealth pill mills" like Cerebral - alongside the real damage they caused - managed some real good. They made an impossible system possible. They did so by breaking that system.

I want to see us move forward, not by simply dropping the old broken system back into place, but by actually fixing it. Let's make real responsible treatment actually available to the millions of adults who simply can't get over the bullshit hurdles we have in their way. Until then, dangerous practices like Cerebral will be implicitly validated as the best we've got.

Is that not a possibility? In terms of public identification, my answer is, yes, definitely. In terms of private identification, my answer is also yes, but I appreciate that many people think this is a manifestly positive outcome. In which case, it is up to the individual to parse the perceived harms of social media use from the perceived benefits benefits and the desired outcomes from the undesirable.
What’s crazy to me is the fed hasn’t been raising rates out of the blue. What the fuck was this bank doing the last two years during every raise? They should have been rebalancing.

When times are good - they are the first to criticize government reach and taxes which are spend on other people. 100% capitalism etc.

When times get bad - we need government to step in and save us !

Ridiculous.

Besides, it seems the situation is nowhere near as bad as he paints it.
I would guess a lot of that happens in the public for transparency reasons; if one reporter (or otherwise just curious citizen) notices that (as an example) the Honorable Cacheris starts sentencing more harshly than their peers, or letting off CEOs in their courtroom with a "stern talking to," then that would be worthy of an investigation

I'm sure the Justice Department's point of view of press releases is one of deterrence: "do the crime, do the time" or perhaps even "your tax dollars at work"
And Ukraine... I've been unable to find any meaningful and direct quote from Russian military/political leaders stating they expected to immediately capture the city, but you can find plentiful US sources predicting exactly that:

---

"The sources said that the initial US assessment from before the invasion – which anticipated that the Ukrainian capital would be overrun within one to four days of a Russian attack – remains the current expectation." [1]

"Milley (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) told lawmakers during closed-door briefings on Feb. 2 and 3 that a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine could result in the fall of Kyiv within 72-hours, and could come at a cost of 15,000 Ukrainian troop deaths and 4,000 Russian troop deaths." [2]

---

It seems that the narrative largely swapped to this all being Putin's plan once it didn't work as out like our military/intelligence agencies expected.

> Big banks do not understand the cashflow situation of startups. They flag standard fundraising as fraud, drug money, or money laundering (or simply won't open an account in the first place).

It's not like they blacklist you the moment your attempt to open an account raises an eyebrow. Show up to BofA or Chase with a copy of your contract with your VC, in addition to their check, and it would be odd for them to refuse you an account.

Not for me personally, though some folks have golden toilets
My understanding may be incorrect (if so, someone please correct me), but I thought this was caused by SVB buying long-term bonds which fell in value after interest rates went up. I don't think this has anything having to do with unprofitable zombie startups being kept alive by "free" money (which roughly ended at the end of 2021). It seems you're angry at tech folks, but they didn't do anything wrong. They're just the victims of SVB's bad bet.

I'm not saying a bailout is justified either (I have no opinion on that), just pointing out who's responsible here.
You’re basically saying the employees at a non-tribal number of startups should not be paid payroll because “fat cat VCs”.

You can obviously buy servers from HP or Dell. I have about 80 in a colo datacentre.

Power, air-conditioning, security etc isn't my problem. That's what we pay the colo for.

I go there about once a year to install new servers, and about once at some other point in the year to replace a failed disk. I've taken various developers who are interested each time, so if I'm out of town there are several people who can cover, plus the colo staff.

You can also pay for people to do this routine work.

And then there's still the option of renting managed servers, so that company handles all the hardware.
It's not a defense. If you want to fix the fact that a lot of tech jobs are bullshit, FAANG or otherwise. You have to fix that phenomenon in all work sectors, because it's not a uniquely big tech created problem.

Look, I'm fairly certain Cerebral has not incurred any criminal liability here. I could be wrong, but based on the information available right now, I don't think they have anything to worry about. That said, if new information comes to light, and it turns out crimes were committed, you can't say "I didn't know."

You can't seriously believe that you can help someone commit a crime, and not incur any criminal liability for that act on the grounds of ignorance? Do you think you can be caught with drugs at an airport and expect to be released because "you didn't know" they were there?

Engineers, please protect yourselves. It doesn't matter what legal relationship you have with your employer, one of the first principals of criminal law you're exposed to in law school is that one cannot contract away criminal liability. It's not possible. Keep this in mind when you're working at whatever random crypto firm you're at that wants to build an "exchange". Keep it in mind when you're working at Boeing and they ask you to sign a quality document for a part you worked on. Keep it in mind when you're working at a health care startup and they ask you to sign the quality documents they need to register with the FDA for 510(k). (By the way, the way the attorney at my first medical imaging startup explained it to us, each signature is a single count. So you signed a document and initialed it in 7 places? OK, guess what? That's 8 counts of lying to the federal government when everything goes south. We were advised to always keep that in mind.)
I had a manager who had a manager who had an director who had a director who had a VP who had a VP who had an SVP who reported to the CEO. I may have left out a few layers.
the FDIC does more than hand out 250k checks. They will find a buyer for this bank who can successfully manage its assets. and most likely will payout uninsured account holders at least 90 cents on the dollar. Probably even all 100 cents. Remember the bailouts the goverments made to banks on 08, we didnt lose a cent on those. the govt made money. We are gonna be ok
Is that quantifiable and verifiable? Are there interviews with software devs whose business was measurably effected by piracy to the point where their life was “ruined”? Genuinely curious to know.
That could be true, but America and Europe did the same thing before they got rich. Isn't it a bit hypocritical to wag our finger at developing countries now for doing the same thing that our countries did?
I don’t think we disagree here. I’m arguing that something like CGPT is not smarter, it just has more time available or rather can do in a short amount of time what would require us years or maybe an entire life.

Before the rise of mercury/column/stripe they were also way more amicable to get access to certain banking products. I remember at one point a company I worked for wanted to start doing ACH payments out of their account. Wells Fargo had some incredibly hoops we had to go through whereas SVB was just like "we would give you access, but you need to make us your primary bank".
Hi, I'm the current primary Redux maintainer, and have been since 2016, when Dan handed the maintainer keys to myself and Tim Dorr.

I'm actually genuinely _not_ sure what you mean here.

For clarity, the timeline was:

- Summer 2015: Dan and Andrew created Redux

- November 2015: Dan got hired at FB to work on React

- Jan-Mar 2016: I got involved writing some Redux docs, and Dan gave me commit rights

- Summer 2016: Dan, who was now busy working on React, gave me and Tim full ownership of the project.

He's had some advisory thoughts and suggestions since then (most notably a couple tweaks to our proposed React-Redux hooks API in early 2019), but has otherwise _not_ been involved with Redux's development since 2016.

Honestly, this has been a _good_ thing. Based on my conversations with Dan, he most likely would have mostly left Redux's design and API as it was in 2016-ish: very minimal, and requiring _lots_ of handwritten boilerplate code to do anything useful.

Instead, I came up with the idea for our Redux Toolkit package that wraps the Redux core and provides a better API for writing standard Redux logic, worked with others to build that, wrote the documentation, shipped it, wrote new tutorials using RTK as the default, designed and shipped React-Redux hooks, and did the work to encourage folks to use the newer Redux APIs. For that matter, React-Redux version 5, which had some major perf improvements, only happened because a user offered to PR the rewrite they'd done for themselves, and I worked to oversee that effort and make sure it covered all the edge cases.

I honestly don't think Dan would have done any of that, both because he would have been splitting his efforts between working on React as his day job and Redux on the side, and also because I don't think he would have felt the need to push Redux forward and improve its usage patterns.

So, the actual history _was_ for the best. Dan got to focus on React, and I was able to pick up Redux and modernize it.

Perhaps it was the coverage I saw but I didn't see any looting, property destruction, or any fights with law enforcement with the truckers protest. That's not to say it didn't happen. Could be the difference between the US and Canada media.

The truckers also had bouncy houses, food tents and trucks, DJs and dancing in the street. Seems like a good time compared to CHOP and other autonomous zones where people were murdered.
I’ll say it again since you don’t seem to be able to understand. If a law makes you display a banner, it’s that law’s fault that the banner exists. Either change the law or be happy that it’s having it’s intended effect.

As to your strange fallacy paragraph, I’m not sure what you mean by imperfect enforcement. Perhaps you should explain in an amicus brief to the courts that decided those banners are compliant?
Yeah really its based on long-term t-bills and the risk premium.

Because safe interest rates went up, people can get a better deal on long term debt unless they get a discount on the bonds from SVB so that in the end the SVB bonds work out to a the current interest rates, if held to maturity.

This is how bond prices move opposite to the external interest rate environment.

There is also a risk premium since t-bills are considered perfectly safe, while these mortgage backed securities are likely now carrying a risk premium so buyers want an even higher effective interest rate out of them.

It isn't really new-vs-old, it is just the interest rate environment. If there was zero new issuance of debt people would still be trading the old debt at the same interest rates and the value of the bonds held by SVB still would have been underwater. Of course if there wasn't enough debt to satisfy the appetite for buying debt then the prices would rise and get bid up, but we'd see this as a lowering of interest rates in these markets (which isn't happening).
Maybe the federal reserve should slow down its rate increases before we cause a crisis.
