Wat. First of all, I have Kumo Cloud and it did not cost thousands of dollars. It was a few hundred for the adapter, and then I paid an HVAC tech to install it. That's it.

Second of all, you aren't forced to use Kumo Cloud. Even though I have it, I still have a remote that operates the Split. No network or cloud required.

Why would we want fewer people to come ?

Except depositors above $250k did not have depositors insurance. How is the government stepping in to provide insurance for people who didn’t have insurance not socialism?

Or put it another way, there was absolutely no capitalistic private market solution to this. VCs weren’t on Twitter demanding Chase to come in and save the SVB depositors. They were asking the government. If this was a simple non socialist, capitalist intervention, how was it that only the government was willing to do it?
It hasn't aged well in some other ways. I was a die-hard Tolkien fan from an early age -- I think I read LotR at around age 10 or so. But ... it's kind of hard to read to your beautiful brown daughter when you constantly have to stop and do teaching moments because Tolkien goes on and on about how fair and beautiful all the good guys are, and how swarthy etc. the nasty Southrons are.

Any program with real world application solves some problem. That's not the point. The point is in how does it do it. And when it comes to conda... it's like MS Outlook on steroids.

> This is not agile enough for a startup.

As of 2018, only 5% of German companies of 5 to 50 employees had a worker's council.[1] And even if a council exists it is just max. 3 members at this size.

I can imagine that in some cases the council makes necessary restructuring more difficult, but in the crises of the last decades, works councils and trade unions in Germany were much more willing to compromise than in many other European economies where this so-called "social partnership" is not so pronounced, for example in France. All in all, it seems that worker's councils in Germany are a quite successful institution to mitigate conflict between employees and management.

I'm inside the US and generally agree. Those that had deposits over 250k should be prepared to lose the estimated ~10% or so... as for the shareholders, they should be prepared to lose all... and the executives and board members who drew fat bonuses or sold stock in the past few months should see it clawed back and be held personally liable for the losses, and if that bankrupts them, so be it.

That also doesn't count possible insider trading for recent stock sales.

This is the biggest threat to security globally is that once it has been decided that the war is strategic, both sides will use propaganda to motivate their population into thinking that the war is a moral mission.

There is not going to be anything moral about it. War is caused by a total failure of management over a number of years. A big part of what is increasing tensions are the real world economic problems globally. Then if the nation-states decide that things are serious enough they will make the calculation that mass murder is a good way to enhance their strategic position.

But there will be lies about China, lies about the United States, and a huge propaganda effort to dehumanize the other population or focus on whatever bad acts that have come before in order to justify war which again is a national policy of mass murder.

My take is that the leaders that push this war forward should be held to account as criminals themselves since they are advocating for millions to be killed.

IMO I would prefer a Bluetooth thermostat that once paired, you don't have to login again. One thing that really annoys me about home "smart" devices is arbitrarily being logged out and having to remember passwords etc. and I don't see a reason I need to be "logged in" to control my thermostat. Also I don't want it to stop working when your servers are down... (had this happen the other day with my garage door opener sigh...) If you want internet connectivity, it should connect to some hub to bridge the Bluetooth to the web account.
If they had evidence for it at the time then why wouldn't it be useful to identify them after the fact?

I see the point you're trying to make. Conspiracy theorists should be treated as broken clocks. If people have evidence but are simply being ignored then I think it's wise to listen to those people.
does that mean that every time you purchase a coffee, 13 transactions take place to keep the distribution balanced?

otherwise 1/12th of your deposits would be the /best case scenario/ not the worst case.. it comes down to the details of how they balance the balances.
The first is trivial, but the second is horrific. That's like citing someone tweeting about bailing out their leaky rowboat as "support for bailouts."

It shows that you have never lived in soviet union and happily eat communist fairy tales.

Soviet Workers were exploited and underpaid by state, there was no private property and almost no private sector.

Soviet Union employed highly educated PhD rocket scientists and paid everyone minimum wage, because there was no alternative.

Literally every scientist family had to grow their own potatoes and veggies at home/dachas in order to survive.

Can you imagine Harvard dean growing potatoes just to survive in cold winter months?

Cars were not available, you had to wait for 7 years to be allocated a slot to purchase a vehicle.

Almost no selection of consumer products, everything was DIY, because the only good thing Soviet State was capable of - is building tanks and rockets (that are currently being destroyed by Ukraine Armed Forces)

I think interest rates would increase and I would be incentivized to put it up for lending and create a healthy economy with our savings being safe while still being able to gamble. Money would get value again. If the banks themselves won't act as the middle-man the gig economy will fill that space in no time.

Would the execs get million dollar bonuses and fly jets? No, and I'm fine with that, I don't have to count on a financial crash once every decade or two.

What do you think would happen?
Ah, I haven't open sourced it yet! I need to remove that link for now. I am going the Embeddings route. My approach is (roughly) documented here: https://indieweb.org/OpenAI

Wikipedia does this now, and I find it annoying, in particular the changing “current section” highlighting, and the fact that it hides when the browser window is a bit narrower. I’d rather press Home to get to the TOC again when it scrolled off.

No. Nice try. Cute. But not at all.

1) FTX held assets, not deposits that are understood to be fractional reserve.

2) FTX used the majority of those assets to buy bullshit.

3) The bullshit dropped in value by 80% (before Zhao yelled fire).

4) Everyone who gave FTX any money lost almost everything, on top of the equity investors getting wiped out completely.

5) SVB had something like 20% of assets held in long-term treasuries that "only" lost 25% of value - in a world where it's understood this is how things work and there's regulations in place and, even still, no depositor is losing money...
I want to offer a tempered view. The comment does seem deep and it probably is. But I work in physical prototyping - new products, new technologies. I do the "design and manufacture from real materials in the real world" part. I own a few hundred thousand dollars in advanced machinery and make parts for FAANGs and tiny research startups. I'm a named inventor on something like 16 patents. And yet daily, I read confident, well worded answers here -- about my domain -- which reflect views completely divorced from reality, or in living in some strange parallel reality.

Personally, I try to recognize this as an opportunity for me to be humble (as I never know who may read my comments from a higher place of skill and domain knowledge), and also to take what is posted here with a grain of salt.
These days I build applications that actually use SQL.

Y Combinator Announces Changes in Late-Stage Investing and Workforce

Mountain View, CA - Y Combinator, the renowned startup accelerator, announced today that it will be shifting its focus away from late-stage investing. As part of this strategic pivot, the company will be letting go of 17 employees who were involved in late-stage investing.

This decision comes after a thorough review of YC's investment strategy and long-term goals. While late-stage investing has been a successful part of the company's portfolio, YC has decided to double down on its core mission of helping early-stage startups grow and succeed.

"We are grateful for the contributions of our late-stage investing team, but we believe that this change will allow us to better serve our early-stage companies and continue to drive innovation in the startup ecosystem," said YC President, Sam Altman.

The 17 affected employees have been notified and will be provided with severance packages and support during their transition. YC remains committed to its mission of supporting and investing in the most promising startups and looks forward to continuing to work with entrepreneurs from all over the world.

For more information, please contact Y Combinator's media relations team at press@ycombinator.com.

Thanks for this. I'm interested in how you compare yourselves to dash in particular - having a quick look at the network calls, the way you interact with the back-end looks fairly similar. I've written some relatively complex apps in Dash and have been hitting some limitations there, so I'm keen to see how Pynecone might help get past some of these.
Sure this could have been prevented, and resolved, in many different ways.

1. The most straightforward way would be for Russia and Ukraine to have implemented the Minsk II Agreements at any time since 2015, when they were introduced. Minsk II says as soon as the Donbas region gets some autonomy and votes for their own representatives, Ukraine would get control over the entire borders of its country, everyone would get amnesty, lay down their arms, and unicorns would frolic around. But for some reason this was considered "bad" and the election kept being postponed:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minsk_agreements#Evaluation_an...

As a libertarian, I blame the politicians: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg4Jmnw3xQg

2. An easy way that the USA could unilaterally prevent this escalation is simply to say that Ukraine would not join NATO. Tulsi Gabbard for instance literally said this in the first days of the war: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF5oPNjMZw4

Until 2009, most of Ukraine was against joining NATO: https://www.kyivpost.com/post/10444

But George W Bush, besides invading Iraq, also for some reason insisted, demanded that Ukraine and Georgia join NATO anyway: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nato-ukraine-bush/bush-vo...

The following presidents could have simply rolled this back. Not even other NATO countries really wanted what George W Bush was pushing, but it turned into an escalation.

And literally every responsible person was warning about this for decades: https://theconversation.com/ukraine-war-follows-decades-of-w...

https://www.armscontrol.org/act/1997-06/arms-control-today/o...

The problem is these people were just ignored by the decision makers in power:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=KqE7UTptgGg

I wouldn't say it's "unprovoked". It was not provoked by Ukraine, but certainly by NATO's expansion. A lot of people around the world feel this way, including leaders of billions of people (China, India, the catholic Pope, etc.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEbVBi1f0e8 and the people themselves

India: https://thewire.in/world/more-indians-hold-us-nato-responsib...

China: https://uscnpm.org/2022/04/19/chinese-public-opinion-war-in-...

3. To be 100% clear, the CIVILIANS of any country are not to blame for any of this. The people of Ukraine are victims in this, just like Iraqis were victims of US invasion and occupation. But I can still blame Saddam Hussein for ousting inspectors and giving the US an excuse to invade. If you think the Russian invasion was "unprovoked", then the invasion on Iraq was even more unprovoked. But both are far more provoked than, say, the US bombing of Laos to the stone age, more than any country has ever been bombed in history. Totally unprovoked "special military operation", completely. There have to be ways to stop this. And it's called respect for human life and having public discussions with leaders instead of bombing their population.

Just my 2 cents.

Yep. All true.
Those upsell marketing emails without unsubscribe links because they are "account related emails" are the worst. I quickly solved the problem by marking everything from Experian as spam, but I can't think of another service where I've gone searching for an unsubscribe link and haven't found one. Their messaging at the bottom of these emails for anyone who is curious:

"This is not a marketing email — you’re receiving this message to notify you of a recent change to your account. If you’ve unsubscribed from Experian CreditWorks℠ Basic emails in the past, don’t worry — you no longer receive newsletters or special offers."

Checking my spam folder, it looks like I've already received two of them this calendar month.
so let's get this straight: VCs/startups are bad because they didn't scrutinize the bank's finances before putting money in it (how many businesses actually do this for their bank?). and they were somehow supposed to know that the bank was dodgy months or years before it actually became dodgy.

and they're also bad because one VC looked into the bank's finances, noticed a real problem, told people about it, and those people did the rational thing and pulled their money out.
In theory libertarians might be into that, but I don't exactly see prominent libertarians calling for antitrust action. An actual political group that is ostensibly pro-market but also big on making sure rules are followed to keep the market in optimal condition are German ordoliberals.
When there are open-source models on which I can fine tune, I'd love to make a version with one of them!
It says some people are blaming the Fed's interest rate hikes. Should the Fed adjust the people's monetary policy to help some bankers?

SVB couldn't, and isn't responsible for, anticipating interest rate changes (who could have seen those hikes coming? /s) and managing the risk? What else are they paid to do?
Wasn't aware of this, thanks for sharing!

Something to be aware of is that when using Original Medicare you will want to also get a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan. Medicare only pays 80%, the Medigap pays the extra 20% (no questions, anything approved by Medicare they cover the gap on).

But you are only guaranteed to be able to join Medigap during your initial enrollment at 65. If you switch back from Medicare Advantage to Original Medicare you are not guaranteed to be able to get Medigap. This can leave you stuck. It will possibly vary from state to state so it pays to get up to speed with the rules in your local state.

If you're expecting to be sick in old age or if you get Medicare due to a disability that is likely to have a lot of expensive treatment or require you to see different doctors in different areas it is best (IM-somewhat-experienced-O) to take Original Medicare.
Do you have some data to back that up? I'm not sure if a small percentage of employees are so expensive as to be the tipping point for a company to go out of business.
The funny part is that there are free market solutions. Many in fact. These people were simply neglecting to avail themselves of those solutions and now want bailed out.

OK, but US style right-libertarianism is also known as anarcho-capitalism [0], and the line between that and anarchy - which resists hierarchy, not organisation - is pretty thin. The main difference is that anarcho-capitalism, unsurprisingly, deeply favours those who own property.

the danger that rising interest rates would mean it lost money on long term bonds at the historic (low) rate...

>...by this hold-to-maturity strategy,

>that strategy put those assets outside the circle of those available to meet unexpected withdrawals

however, doing so meant those bonds weren't available if they needed immediate cash

Thanks to all the pull requests, we've managed to solve most of these issues in the most optimal manner.

It means that your bonds having a low interest rate is only a problem if you plan on selling the bonds instead of holding them until maturity.
A problem with all of these discussions about child labor laws is the huge status quo bias.

Like if a law isn't working to protect children, it's a good thing to change it! How do we talk about that if every discussion starts with how horrifying it is to change the laws that protect children.

When I looked at the Arkansas change, it didn't really seem like a big deal. Previously parents had to fill out a form and send it to the state and wait for approval. A form isn't going to stop a parent from describing the duties inaccurately or ensure that the employer actually sticks to the description that the parents agreed to. The way things go, the state agency probably felt a lot of pressure to rubber stamp them. And so on.

I'm not sure I analyzed it well, but apparently we can't even talk about it, because change is bad.
The 30Y bond was "declared" to be held-to-maturity, meaning you didn't have to book the paper-losses from the Fed Interest rate hikes / change in interest rates over the past year.

But of course, that ended up not being true, now was it? So it was only 'notionally' hedged, not truly hedged.

Add in hot water heating and storage, and that's basically what Harvest Thermal is doing:

They even use an off-the-shelf heat pump compressor (SanCO2) that as the name implies, uses CO2 as a refrigerant. It's a pricey compressor though.
This comment comes across as a silly nitpick given the sober content of the post, but I think it is completely fair given Paul Graham's many writings and tweets on the virtues of writing clearly and his hatred of what I call corporatese.
I remember seeing a list on Reddit the other day showing other banks that also were heavily invested in MBSes similar to what SVB were invested in, and First Republic was on that list. I assume the market quickly lost confidence in all of the banks on that list.
