I assumed people get the point in my comment, which is the difference between rationalizing a gender based decision on loan and the process of thinking, designing and building something like an airplane, or a nuclear power plant or your phone, etc.

Edit: A sibling comment from SonicScrub, is more articulate wrt the example used.

I am not aware of any major religion that outright bans cannabis consumption. If anything, it is probably the fact that cannabis possession has enough of a chance to derail one’s life via the judicial system in many places around the world so that people do not want to risk it.
>If you're like me and have 3yrs of (FAANG and growth stage startups) SWE and 1yr of product eng / TPM'ing you're basically fucked.

I hope you find something soon, but let's be realistic here, claiming SWEs with FAANG experience on the resume are "fucked" is some real extreme hyperbole.

If you could pass the engineering hiring bar at FAANG, surely you can do an approximation of how many people with 4 years of career experience don't have FAANG on their resume, aren't engineers, or both. You have an advantage over nearly all of them.

Like others have said, networking/connections are key, but that's still true even when the job market is hot.
Simple vs Complex should always be evaluated holistically.

Each file could be simple but if they are in 5 level of inheritance, then it's not simple as a whole. Same with 10 different way to do the same thing or 3 different class that can be used to the same effect, it's not.

Your case is clearly adding complexity as the new class have no reason of existence, as it's just rebuilding part of the standard library which your compiler would likely have included anyways. The suggestion is clearly a bad one but our industry is filled with people who are either incapable of adequately applying "Simple > Complex" or don't believe in it. That's why enteprise FizzBuzz exist.

If they made it in a lab, they would have samples of the intermediary steps. They could use one of those to infect a bat or pangolin and then claim to have proof of zoonotic origin. The “why wouldn’t you do everything possible to exonerate yourself” line of thinking is problematic

Right. The problem is that SVB's books reported that the assets were worth more than they were actually worth.
I'll admit most people have played more with these models than I have, but I was really struck by how it would helpfully explain the structure of a LOC call number to me in ways that were just... incoherent within the span of two sentences – claiming that the first two digits of a Cutter number were from the author's name, but also that all the digits together represented the count of works under that author initial. Either sentence might have been plausible in an explanation of call numbers within some system - but together they were self-evidently wrong – and yet the kind of thing that someone less familiar with the material explained might have been confused by, might have assumed was their own failure to understand.

Suffice to say: hoo boy I hope all y'all commenters aren't tacking these APIs directly onto systems where the results have real consequences.
> Saving the employees is not a motivating argument to me, anyway. These people work for risky companies, and should be prepared for their employers to evaporate overnight anyway.

Removing complexity where you can is a good thing. Being able to recognize when you don't need a complex system is a skill. Many devs fall into the "One tool for every problem" trap by defaulting to the same boilerplate project for everything (eg create-React-app or Next.JS) and end up making something complex when a much simpler system would have worked better.

If you have a basic project the tools should be basic.
Replace "find receptive ears" with "pay for receptive ears" then you got it.
Cities (or any other part of an existing state) can't secede without their state legislature's consent, though. It's the same reason conservative northern Californians, or Staten Islanders can't have their own state and add more rural senators.

Article IV of the US Constitution:

New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.
I wouldn't use it as an example to prove that that we have a history of rationalizing explanations where none exist. Certainly, as you mentioned, the explanation takes the form of a set of differential equations. I would instead argue that there is a history of incorrect rationalizations from individuals who were akin to "real world aircraft engineers" in their time and that these rationalizations are still present in discourse around wing lift / design.

No, I'm criticizing their decision to only offer need-based scholarships when they could just as well provide both—if they really cared about academic strength, then they could put their money where their mouth is, and provide meaningful merit-based scholarships.

Princeton, for instance, is capable of letting in every student for free, and still not dipping into their endowment [0]. Why don't they do so? Because it would lead to lower tuitions across the board, and that's intolerable.

> if you're admitted, then you're going to get whatever amount of scholarship you need to go.

No, you get whatever amount of scholarship they think you need to go. Their understanding of your financial situation will be unsurprisingly self-serving.

Prediction: sometime by 2033 most consumer CPUs will have the Apple Mx chip architecture with unified memory and the price for 2/4/16 TB of RAM will be similar with today's price for 2/4/16 TB of SSD.

Today's price for 1TB of consumer RAM is around 3,000 USD; since it's paramount to be able to run these models locally, especially as they get better the privacy concerns will become even greater, it's time for hardware to step up to the challenge: x10 price reduction in 10 years, a new curve for Gordon Moore's observation.

I know nothing about crew, who wins, etc. but:

it may be the case that the wealth and elitism of "growing up rowing", like "growing up sailing, horseback riding, and playing polo and squash" is sufficient to to keep out the riffraff and the highly athletic boats crewed with also academically gifted rowers; but humans both group identify and are athletically highly competitive, even as spectators, and there's no way you can have world class talent in a sport without either combing the hustings for talent, or keeping "those people" out altogether. Oxford and Cambridge are not magically different than every other place in the world, they are magically the same. If they are good at it, then there's an explanation for it, and it's not "being good at fluid dynamics turns out to make you a great rower".

For example, the Ivy League in American sports is not the elite level of sports in any sport that matters economically, but only because they're only willing to bend the academic rules so far and they restrict competition to other like minded opponents (but they do bend the rules because they care enough to do so).

So either: Oxford and Cambridge aren't world class at rowing; nobody rows outside Oxford Cambridge and some other similarly elitist schools; or they're bending some rules to obtain elite talent.
I was laid off a month ago, senior frontend engineer. I've reached out to my network and have been talking to various startups, but it seems like most of the bigger companies do not want to bite.

Compounding that is my desire to keep working remotely, or somewhere local to the DC metro area, so many of the same opportunities that would be available to me in the Bay area, had I remained there, are closed to me, because they're using a hybrid model.

I'm not in much of a rush, and I'm hopeful that I'll find interesting work with some startup.
Yes, this.

99% of us live in a world that does not need reactivity, yet so many of us are led to believe that we are in a world that does. All because Facebook made React (for what original use case? Facebook Ads Manager?) doesn't mean we're all going to be Facebook, need to be Facebook, or want to be Facebook.

When I need the reactivity, I need to sprinkle it on; I don't need to use reactivity when it's not needed just for the few cases that do.

> the least useful is sticking to a hard definition, deciding noone qualifies, and therefore the term is "meaningless".

The point of the term is a political identifier. If it doesn't encompass anything you believe in but includes your mortal enemies it's not much good.

> large groups of people use the term that way and communicate just fine.

No, they don't. I don't know anyone "on the left" who would happily use it knowing the full scope of what others using it identified as - and validly under your definition. Surely they aren't communicating anything meaningful.

Worse, it encourages those people to label others using their own lax standards, such that everyone who isn't an anarchist, or a marxist, etc, is the polar opposite - "the right". The left is a grab bag, the right is simply everything else.

These terms signify a side a culture war but don't indicate any views or policies which may actually differ between them. They mark "us vs them" without being too specific to swap who is who when needed.
Only YC is out there with this kind of histrionics (and maybe a few others like David Sacks). You don't see it from any other prominent Silicon Valley figures
I don’t know if it your problem but those Dell power bricks sometimes fail to communicate how much power they supply which can cause a machine to feather the CPU and act sluggish.

It's small though and I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk of it and other optional deposit insurance. What does this landscape look like for large companies routinely doing millions in payroll? You can't tell me they sweep it all in/out of different banks in 250k chunks. There has to be some sort of widely used insurance offerings, no?

This is why you need that level of independence. Medium and other blogging websites lure many in with the scheme that they don't need to self-host their own website to write a blog, but this just gives them rights to your content.

Most people here are parrots. The FED raising the rate is the FED removing the liquidity from the market. Liquidity being removed from the market means no more credit, and possibly some people/funds losing money from their bank accounts. Actually, that's a certainty.

It seems that the institution that is most susceptible to this will be an institution in a field where most people are parrots and fast parrots too.

SVB did the "right" or safest thing by buying Treasury (the next safest will be to hold $200bn in cash). Treasury is the real money. Most people think of $1 in their account as $1 but it is not. Buying shorter-term treasury might have saved them or not.

These collapses will continue until the Fed thinks that enough liquidity have been removed from the market and inflation is stabilized again.

This isn't actually true in the modern system; loans are generated by the bank taking a loan from the Federal Reserve at that interest rate, and then applying a markup that covers the cost of KYC, due diligence, customer service, and of course the bank's profit.
What sticks out to me is our collective inability to interpret answers from scientists. “There isn’t evidence that masks will prevent infection” and what is heard is masks don’t work, but what was said was they don’t know yet. “The lab leak claims are wholly unsubstantiated” and we hear that they think it’s bs, but what they’re saying is there isn’t any real evidence, but we should investigate further.

As pointed out elsewhere on HN there is a bank with essentially 0% of risk from going bankrupt by means of improper/mismatched investment. The concept is "narrow banking" and involves pass-through deposit to the central bank. The government refuses to issue a banking license.

In this case I'd argue over-regulation is the reason why you can't have this form of safer bank.

It's just the idea to limit how much USDC you are holding at one time. The more USDC you hold, the more risk there is. A reserve of USDC is just another way of saying that you have a max of USDC you are willing to hold.
Perhaps, perhaps not. A stress test tests more than general recession but sector or segment concentrated losses. One that included maturity exposure may have failed, depends on the test.

This might be downvoted due to the FED finger point, but that aside it is exactly right. A responsible banker would have invested in floating-rate securities or hedged the fixed-rate risk via interest rate swaps. SVB was certainly sophisticated enough to know this.

The comments section of HN is it's most valuable feature to me, and I wanted a way to jump into discussions when I noticed something I could contribute to.

I move between desktops and mobile, and wanted something completely standalone that I could use to easily navigate whatever I am using to the article, then I can hit back and read the comments, or start tapping away my own.

I noticed a lot of comments here wishing for a way to get started with electronics; while completing this project won't teach you about Ohm's law or circuitry, this is a very low-cost way to use software skills to jump straight into microcontroller programming. Give the guide a read and try it out!

Years ago in my software engineering class, my professor was discussing Fred Brooks' "surgical team" (Tar Pit).

Suffice to say, the surgeon alone cannot perform a complicated surgery; it requires a team.

He added one role that he found to be a key marker of a successful team: a "team mother". The person that celebrates the small victories. The person that remembers birthdays. The person that can read your mood and offer a ear. The person that lightens the mood when everything is tense.

I ran across my first a few years later. His output on the project was abysmal by any normal metric, but his energy and whim changed the atmosphere and overall made the team more productive. Everyone was happier when he was in. His contribution wouldn't show up on any spreadsheet, but it could be felt by the team. Years later, he went on to own multiple product teams.

KPIs and OKRs are what you fall back on when you're so disconnected from the production that you can only measure success by reducing a team or a person down to red light/green light; missing the forest for the tree.

With reps like this doesn't seem you really need to lobby that hard.

I’m working with my CA colleagues to address the Silicon Valley Bank crisis. We must make sure all deposits exceeding the FDIC $250k limit are honored. Banking is about confidence. If depositors lose confidence on the safety of their deposits over 250k then we are in trouble.

Making sure you don’t fail catastrophically if you get unlucky is the entire purpose of risk management, which SVB failed to do.
Overengineering is a choice. You can take the slower way, with fewer points of failure, and while you can't (or might not even want to) always stop people from trying to a build a faster solution, you CAN make them pay for the real cost of any adverse incidents which occur under their aegis. If the ship is already burning, you treat the passengers (within reason) and you fine the carrier; you don't bail the latter out, on the promise that they'll make the former whole.

The very paradigm of allowing these entities to lobby their way to private profits and socialized losses is indeed corruption.

I'm a complete ignoramus in this field, so this is a honest question. Please ELI5:

Is $250k a fixed limit for insured deposits? If your company needs more than $250k to meet a month of payroll, is it advised that you have accounts in multiple banks so that you have the necessary liquidity guaranteed as insured deposits? (E.g. if you need a million you'd need 4 different banks, if you need 5 million you need 20 different banks?)

Or can you pay some extra insurance in order to get the required protection without the operational hassle of having to deal with multiple banks?

Or is it the logic that you need to protect from bank runs to one (or two) of your banks and assume that the others will stay solvent?
