I’ve never, ever seen a car run a red light at a pedestrian crossing in London. Both as a pedestrian and driver, I am confident that all cars will stop and keep to the red light. If anything, vehicles show an abundance of caution and assume a flashing yellow is the same as a solid red and yellow, and remain behind the line even when the crossing is clear.

I regularly see cyclists ride through pedestrian crossings with pedestrians on them, which as a pedestrian is utterly terrifying - particularly when it happened when I was in a wheelchair, on crutches or with a walking stick (I had serious mobility issues a few years back).

I have never seen a cyclist stop for a pedestrian waiting at a zebra crossing in London. I’ve seen it once in Manchester.

I regularly see cyclists on pavements, even riding next to kerb-segregated cycle lanes. This is an offence the Highway Code is incredibly clear about. When a cyclist is doing over 20mph on a pavement coming towards me, it’s terrifying, again.

When I am watching my speed in a 20 zone, I am rarely overtaken by a frustrated vehicle driver who thinks they know better, but I am often overtaken by cyclists who seem to think speed limits don’t apply to them. In 20 zones with high density of cyclists to pedestrians (Richmond Park, Bushy Park, and so on), this is scary to experience both as a driver and as a pedestrian.

Your anecdata is yours, mine is mine, but I will not accept that cyclists are all about safety in London, and motorists are not.

The perception of most non-cyclists in London is that cyclists consistently behave in ways dangerous to pedestrians and other traffic, and running red lights are just one of the factors in that. Yes, cars should give you time and space to move off, and I always do, but all the other behaviours I’ve described are common, dangerous, and inexcusable.
Your incentive for depositors doesn't follow. What incentive do I have to seek out a risky bank? That I won't lose my money? If I have a safe one, I also won't lose my money. And if I have a risky one, I have some possibility that next time the powers that be will decide that the rules are different. Even if they don't, I still have the possibility that my money will be unavailable for a certain amount of time, and that I will have to deal with bureaucracy to get it back. Why would I deliberately choose that? What's my upside?

Your incentive for banks doesn't follow either. Shareholders got wiped out. This sure wasn't in their interest, previous dividends or no. Management may get bonuses clawed back, and even if they don't, they're not going to find a job that pays as well ever again.
It could be but without explicit credits one shouldn't wonder when others do question this assumption.
Also: it is pretty much only the Catholic church that mandates celibacy for priests. The Eastern churches allow married priests, but not bishops - while one tenet of Protestantism is the priesthood of all believers, where everyone should be able to talk with God and play a role in church affairs.
Funnily enough putting it in configuration management (like Puppet) can make it nice and automatic.

But, well, if you fuck up your CM...

> I don't think it's supposable to conclude that flynn effect is reversing

Lol, it's reversing all across western Europe and has been since birth cohorts starting around 1970. The Norwegian studies are the most cited AFAIK.
I’d guess (and it’s purely a guess) that it was their loan portfolio that made assessing their balance sheet hard to price. MBS’ and long term bonds can be priced using very standard techniques. Loans secured with startup equity warrants on the other hand are tough.
We have 7 racks and 3 people working in ops and built Puppet setup "right". It's not hard. And their setup was probably right too.

Just that nobody plans for "bus hit our entire ops team"
Bonds are normally priced at the current interest rate, then modified based on type e.g. higher yield for longterm bonds, and less yield for short term bonds.

Recently we've been in an inverted yield curve where short term yield was superior to longterm yield.

The way I see it they did a few things wrong:

1 - bought too much of the same instrument (diversity)

2 - did not bond ladder (put themselves into a high risk situation)

3 - Moved unrealized risks into realized losses by fireselling bonds (bad timing which provoked liquidity crisis)

If you think about it, #1 & #2 were easily manageable. It is the colossal screwup of #3 on top of #1 & #2 that proved to be the coup de grace.

Whether the interest rates were going to increase or decrease was completely up in the air. No one knows after a few rate increases.

This is equivalent to selling at a loss a stock because it has a 3 - 6 month downtrend when the stock is still fundamentally sound, nothing has changed in the thesis instead of riding it out longer with the recognition you may not receive primo returns or even decent returns, but you won't be taking a big hit either.
There's also "You're listening to": http://youarelistening.to/
On paper my university have claim anything on it property (for example: you where programming using bench near building...). But in practice I would say depends, can you wipe your laptop (in my universality, you need request os)? If no, i do not touch anything outside his designated purpose, because otherwise everything is visible what you doing. Alternative, investigate from which budget bucket came - if it money from government for education purposes (there are multiple fund buckets), rules maybe can be more lax and etc.

From IP side, it much more complex. In my university there are numerous start-ups which got IP waivers - you can ask organization IP lawyer about your problem - but i bet his/her answer will be something along lines: need faculty head approval or something like that (obvious, decision is influenced by how much worth they see). But even with waivers and if startup is lucky enough there is chance that somebody will be 'bright' enough to try sue you on that waiver even it lost cause from beginning.
> stop endangering pedestrians and making life worse for everyone
> it was utterly terrifying

So you are terrified of a 15 kg bicycle, but you don't accept that maybe cyclists are terriefied of a 15,000 kg vehicle driven by a nutcase?

I've beed cycling for 10 years, I have never hit a pedestrian and I dont know any cyclist who has. I've been hit by a car 3 times.

London cycling experience, my wife was grazed by a motorbike in a cycle lane (!) going at proper 30 Mph+

I had a sportscar drive up to me and start swerving agressively threatening to hit me while the driver shouted obceneties. This was 11PM, I am cycling on a left side of the three-lane road, no-one else around.

We are not talking about 'driver ran red light', we are talking of 'driver escaped a mental asylum'.

When it's raining I cycle on pavement - the visibility is too poor and breaking path is too long if I meet another idiot, I am dead. Obviously you go slower on pavement, and usually pavements are empty in the rain.

Some cycle paths are actually protected by a curb, but others are just a bit of paint of the ground, often used for parking or just plain driven in

>I have never seen such cognitive dissonance here at HN

The cognitive dissonance is that most sv startups and SVB clients are run by people with very strong right wing economic beliefs. Suddenly when they're affected they're asking for bailouts of the parent institution so that they're not affected because of "too big to fail". This is quite simply capitalism for the poor and socialism for the rich.
Yeah I deal with that a lot with my search engine index too. Honestly it's not that bad once you get used to it.

You can get away with referencing the data through (mutable and reusable) pointer objects that reference memory mapped areas yet provide a relatively comfortable higher level interface. This gets rid of object churn while keeping a relatively sane interface.
TWAANG wouldn't sound bad tho
I’m afraid SVB no longer has a leg to stand on.
I literally just said it is.

>that fact is self-evident.

What part of this very simple sentence was unclear?
Sorry for the typo, but I get the same result with erlend.sh. I've tried with both http and https and with and without www.
I've built one of these before and the devil is so very much in the details, but really even more in the context.

There's the easy stuff: "ninja" for example. Nobody, in the year 2023, should be using that word in a job post.

But then there's the hard stuff that really matters. If you want someone who has experience being a "white hat" hacker, that's perfectly alright, but if you want "white people only" well that's obviously bad. If you don't flag the latter you look like a joke, but if you flag every instance of the word "white" then it feels overbearing and like the tool isn't very smart.

I'm pretty sure these will never actually be useful on a superficial word-matching basis. They need to look at broader phrases and context.

And then there's the real problem that even if the tool helps the hiring manager / recruiter sweep their inbuilt biases under the rug to get better applicants, they're still the ones making the hiring decisions.
> This is why banks are regulated, and why deposit insurance exists. The extension of it past $250,000 is very good

It is not good. The insurance limits goes hand in hand with regulations. Different higher insurance limit needs to imply higher regulations and more control. This particular bank and these particular VCs lobbied heavily to have the regulations eased up. They won. These particular VCs forced their startups to have money in this bank, because it was good for them.

That is literally structural reason to not bail it all out. It is the "we are risk takers, we take profits from higher risk, but when it fails and cause damages someone else must protect our investments" strategy of VCs.
When I was a kid I stayed at the family cabin with my grandparents, and we would routinely walk along the main road which had no sidewalk and barely any shoulder.

It wasn't a problem at all, there weren't many cars and very few larger vehicles like trucks, trailers or busses.

These days the road is super-busy, with large vehicles coming by all the time at full speed. I barely feel safe standing in the driveway.

Back in the day there was no need for a sidewalk. These days I don't dare to walk to the "nearby" store without, hence I drive.

I love the ridiculous hyperbole. Calling the behavior of anyone who currently uses a block heater a 'nice little robot', as well anyone who reacts to information (like it costing $100 to fast charge on the way home but $5 to get a charge by parking daily in a spot with a L1 charger), but anyone who follows your simulation blindly is a free thinker. Around 90% of cars in the US cover under 60 miles a day. This can easily be provided by an L1 charger during off peak.

The overwhelming majority of cars are parked the overwhelming majority of the time. Adding level 1 chargers (ie. A standard household extension cord with a bit of weatherproofing) to parking spots is about two to three orders of magnitude cheaper than the nonsense of massive overprovision of thermal generators, and massive overbuild of transmisikon to only run them 12% of the time.

Margins on trucking are razor thin. Nobody in their right mind will pay your 8x overprovisioned $200/MWh nuclear power at $1600/MWh to pay for the down time or even $100/MWh overprovisioned fossil fuel power when they are already crossing hundreds of miles and anyone with a few hectares can build a battery buffered charging station at $30/MWh.

They'll just book a slot on a charger as soon as they hit the highway to match the mandatory rest breaks and they'll have 4-6 hours and several hundred miles of flexibility to avoid peak charging in addition to the arbitrage supplied by the battery on the charger which is necessary to provide the 3MW or so to fast charge.
They absolutely do pay these salaries and for anyone aware of what asml does the public perception is very positive...
They can provide higher rates if they take riskier investments/arbitrages, I thought everyone knew this.
Yes, and? What did I say that contradicted that statement, and what is wrong with that statement?

> Of course, a bunch of them sold shares as they saw the end near

Insiders file 10b5-1 plans with their brokers well in advance to automate the sale of their stock. It's very unlikely that the sales had anything to do with recent events.
Credit unions are not public services. They are essentially banks where deposits are shares. A credit union could blunder on long term loans just as well as a commercial bank.
The FDIC also has lots of money, and got none of it from taxpayers.
WTF? I thought we all agreed "Negative Flynn Effect" does not exist.
Do you know what a Rule 10b5-1 plan is?
Do journalists know what “truth” is?

The “Truth” is a perturbation of Objective Reality, the manifest form of Universal Potentials in the moment of now (the only moment which “truly” exists.)

The “truth” is a figment in the human mind. And “integrity” is a measure of consistency between conception and Truth.

I have a model for Truth to advance to you:

Know existential potential as one form, and commoditization of “facts” as something different.

Know that commoditized fact has four alternatives: pro-bias (inductively reinforced) anti-bias (against inference) falsy (contrary to best observation) and truthy (working model)

As for what may be “True” vs what may be “true” (aka terminal and non terminal), the difference between identity and representative assertion.

> Did you saw the title of the email?

I did, and I saw who it was from. There's absolutely no way that I would ignore an email from my cloud provider like that.

> I need to be very clear, the suspension is not due to fraudulent issue. It's due to "missing some paperwork". I've been paying using the same card for the past 4 yrs.

You're putting words in my mouth here. I never said it was due to fraud, it's due to you not filling in the paperwork they asked you to do in a timeframe, where they clearly state what will happen if you don't follow the instructions. Again, many providers will ask for extra information (your bank for example), and if you don't follow the procedure, you'll have your services suspended.

> See similar horror stories below. AWS doesn't pull this shit.

One google search gives me https://www.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/bjdgql/authentication_... - so yes, AWS does do this.

> And lastly, when something like this happens, the minimal they could do is to get my servers back asap.

I disagree - you were told what was going to happen if you didn't do it. It's not their fault you didn't read your email. The minimal _you_ can do is read the email from your cloud provider.

> And they've been dead silence over 3 days already.

One of my longest contracts was being on call for a a company to assist with their cloud setup. Most of this is not abstracted away all that well. Having managed both on premises, colocated, managed servers and cloud services, my customers when I was consulting tended to need more of my time for similar sized setups to manage cloud setups. Yes, with a colocated setup we needed to rack and wire up servers, but the amount of time spent for the lifetime of a server was typically measured in single digit number of hours amortised over several years.

EDIT: As to why the time to manage colocated servers is so low, consider that pretty much everything has IPMI or similar now, so apart from a few hours setting up an initial provisioning server for the entire environment, on a per server basis you're connecting power, screwing on rails, connecting the network, configuring IPMI (remote reboot, remote KVM, remote sensor access), running your provisioning scripts and starting (automated) burn-in tests, and then you have a bunch of new capacity in your orchestrator at the end of it. Everything else is pretty much the same as using a cloud provider, except your instance sizes are tailored to your actual workloads. The odd replacement of broken equipment can often be handled by your colo provider. When I was racking equipment myself, I'd often install more than one server an hour, and then not touch that server again physically for several years. Monitoring is largely the same - you need to be able to migrate away from failing instances either way, only now some of those failures might mean hardware has failed and you have a few more indicators in your monitoring system matching your IPMI sensors.
I'm not sure how reliable these results are but I can't help but think of the film Idiocracy
this surprise me, I don't know pdf can work on this way haha.
I don't live in London.

The route part I use the sidewalk is 0.6 miles long (checked on Google maps) and I go past maybe 10 people at the busiest of days.
That's fair. So the internet has really been getting dumber.

Thanks, I hope you found it useful.
The problem with waiting at lights is, unless you are quick, cars will try and overtake from lights. This will usually be at a crossing, where there are more likely to be tight spots that cars want to get into before you. This means more dangerous situations for the cyclist.

This is known to city planners, and when you have bicycle and car lights at a crossing, the bicycle light will go Green before the car lights. This is taken to the extreme when joining Parliament Square from Millbank.

That’s why cyclist jump red lights: The required infrastructure is not there to keep them safe.

This has lead to a general disregarding of the rules (a British trait c.f. speed limits on motorways), which has in turn lead to people doing things that obviously are not in the interest of their safety: riding through a red light when there are pedestrians crossing, especially bad when it’s just a two way crossing.
so they would've been fine if only everyone could've waited 30 years? isn't that completely irrelevant to probably every depositor?
If you are weighing it just consider it dirty once the weight goes up. This will say clean even when empty but that seems not incorrect.

I think the only problem would be if someone removes the last clean item and adds a heavier dirty item at the same time.
It's a cheap shot that can be dismissed as just "pointing out facts you can clearly see", most importantly trying to capitalise on already aggravated on racial matters people who might stumble across this in good faith and get misdirected.

When there was a lot of discussions about niche optimizations and integers that if we had const generics we could have `NonXXX` types which use const generics to specify the niche.

But back then we hadn't had const generics and it was time wise too far off to wait for const generics in anyform (including unstable rustc internal only usage of it).

So if now that we have const generics somone sits downs discusses the technical details on zulip, then writes a RFC and then writes an implementation we theoretically could have it soon.

Through I'm not sure how easy/hard the implementation part would be.

Some problems to discuss for standardization would be:

- is there any in progress work, overlapping RFC etc. (Idk. there should be older in progress work, but someone might be working on it right no idk). There could also be work on a more generic niche handling code which would happen to also cover this idk.

- should multiple niches be handled and if so how with which limitations (there are no variadic generic and ways to emulate them like through type nesting likely wouldn't have pef and complexity problems)

- can it be usefull for outside of optimizations to have e.g. a range limited integer

- if the gap is big enough (i.e. u32 limited to a hypothetical u24), should it interact with packed representation

- is there any risk of it being confusing/unexpected (should not be the case, but still needs to be evaluated)

EDIT: There seem to be unstable following attributes:

#[rustc_nonnull_optimization_guaranteed]
#[rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range_start(...)]
#[rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range_end(..)]

I’m lost. The FDIC doesn’t take public money but it will receive loans from the government?

If you mean that the Fed will give an zero-interest loan with the bond as collateral that’s the same as just buying it right away at par and eat the loss.

Put otherwise, the Fed lends money at almost 5% now. If it does it at 0% it will be earning less than if it was done at the proper rate.

In either case, the treasury will get less money in the end. That looks like costing money to the taxpayers.
Thank you, I hope you'd find it useful.
That’s inflation, the word you’re looking for right? It’s a form of tax that isn’t thought of as a tax through the act of printing more money. Or, some similar mechanism of that shape.
"And yeah, 80 million pounds of profit last year. I'd buy that for a dollar"

In business, last years profits are often irrelevant. This is a good example. It's a constant treadmill of trying to stay profitable - which isn't as easy as it sounds.

More so when businesses of this size are usually built on owing large sums of money.
