Billionaires care very little on either of those things? Leveraged income is not taxed. Is why you don't pay taxes as income on the loan to pay for your house. And inflation they have beat with other returns.

If anything, this is reason to keep the insurance rate low. After all, they only "lose" the uninsured part that is not recovered in bank seizure.

The scare quotes about people losing 100% of their money in SVB was just that, scare quotes. The assets did not disappear 100% and depositors are first in line.

If anything, that should incentivise wealthy people to pay attention to how a bank is being run. Full insurance means I don't give a shit.
It's actually happened before that. Limit was retroactively raised from $100k to $250k after IndyMac collapsed. But that was for everyone by law (first temporarily by https://archive.fdic.gov/view/fdic/3388 then by Dodd-Frank retroactively & permanently).

Even then I thought it was a bad idea because it discouraged depositors from spreading around their assets.

Whether we'll see them treat future failures like SVB or not, TBD!

Information 'deleted' from the human genome may be what made us human
'What the human genome is lacking compared with the genomes of other primates might have been as crucial to the development of humankind as what has been added during our evolutionary history, according to a new study led by researchers at Yale and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. The new findings, published April 28 in the journal Science, fill an important gap in what is known about historical changes to the human genome.'
Large trucks also destroy roads at a far faster rate then they trains destroy tracks. Trucks need specific drivers to, they can strike too. The reason its harder is because there are more companies, the same could be done for rail, the system as it exists now in the US as compared to most of the world. The reason trucking is so successful is that the government spends an absolutely huge amount of money on roads from highways to local roads, in what amounts to a absolutely gigantic subsidy. Trains on the other hand are incredibly profitable industry running on decaying infrastructure (that was once funded with government grants).
So are you saying that OP should be able to share their idea right here without fear?

I think it's rational to worry that someone else will hear the idea and implement it faster/better.
Seems like companies are either friendly to their customers or their staff. I guess this makes sense since it's largely about the allocation of resources.

I propose we begin implementing some responsibility for internet actors. If my car leaks oil on the road, that is my responsibility to fix, yet I did not manufacture the car.

I propose that we make owners of shitty devices responsible for their actions. if my internet of shit thermostat begins spamming people, that would be my responsibility, if it participates in a ddos, that would become my responsibility.
Besides reduced birth rate what else does cultural decline mean?

It also seems like your hypothesis is "more lax social norms lead to lower birth rate" but this clearly isn't the case because east Asia has much lower birth rates than the US despite much stricter social norms.

I think the hypothesis "industrialization, urbanization, and density lead to lower birth rates" describes the world better and makes more sense.
There's a new protocol in town called Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) or 802.1aq and in the near future it will be huge [1]. It's an open standard by IEEE and expect it to be everywhere soon if the networking vendors start to support it by default.

You can use it without TCP/IP because it depends on IS-IS protocol hence no need for IP [2].

The wonderful thing about running without TCP/IP in your private is that the chance of getting compromised over the Internet is zero unless someone pull a Stuxnet style attack on your network. But the chance that is happening in your private network is very slim.

Could trains replace diesel trucks? Would require building and maintaining a large amount of railroad, but solves the energy supply issue.

Dumb question- how I edit? I don’t see an option to do so.
One example might be an energy company (they tend to be big) that will send bills to a significant percentage of any residential area in its catchment area, probably four times a year at around the same time for everyone. Now repeat for water companies, phone companies, local government et cetera.

Strictly, that never happened. Unless there were literally no assets on seizure. You would lose what couldn't be recovered. Not everything over the insurance mark.

Who did lose everything were the investors in the bank. And that still happened.

Very much so.

So far I resort to aftermarket Supernicro ITX boards with fanless Intel CPUs of yore; they support ECC and can be had for $150-200. Intel stubbornly keeps ECC support for server CPUs only.

I wish newer AMD-based compact boards were available, offering unofficial ECC support, because Zen-series CPUs have ECC support even in desktop and laptop models. Likely they are, I just did not look hard enough.
Came here to search for the mention of XTDB (formerly known as Crux). I have never tried Datomic and only trivially played with XTDB, does anyone know if there's a comprehensive comparison of the two?

update: So, I asked chatGPT and this is what I got:

----

ChatGPT> Do you know how Datomic and XTDB differ?

Yes, Datomic and XTDB are both database systems, but they differ in a few ways:

1. Architecture: Datomic follows a client-server architecture, where the client sends requests to the server for data manipulation. On the other hand, XTDB is designed as a distributed database system, where data is automatically partitioned across multiple nodes for high availability and scalability.

2. Query Language: Datomic uses the Datalog query language, which is similar to Prolog, for querying the database. XTDB, on the other hand, provides a modern and expressive query language based on Clojure.

3. Data Model: Datomic stores data in the form of entities, attributes, and values. XTDB uses a document-based data model, where each document is a self-contained unit of data.

4. Distributed Transactions: XTDB supports distributed transactions while Datomic does not. This means that XTDB can guarantee the consistency of data across multiple nodes in a distributed system, while Datomic cannot.

5. Open Source: XTDB is open-source, while Datomic is a commercial product, which requires a license to use.

Overall, both Datomic and XTDB have their own unique features and advantages, and the choice between the two depends on the specific requirements and use case of the application.

I dunno, it sounds like XTDB is a clear winner here, no?
> The natural market for EVs is a maximum of 20%.

And yet countries in Europe have already higher then 20% of new car sales being EV and some of them without subsidies.

Ford can actually sell its F150. And lots of version of F150 and other trucks had issues that stopped production line. Its utterly irrelevant in terms of the EV debate.

Your not exactly breaking news here.
Engineer working on Deno KV here. Building on FDB is mostly a pleasant experience since it solves the hard part of the problem for us (concurrency control and persisting mutations).

We sometimes run into its limitations - the way we are using FDB is a bit beyond what it was originally designed for. But when it works, it works great.
150k means not on a path to own your own home and not much savings. If that’s a single income for a family, in the bay you’d be struggling.

The orbits are designed to maximize coverage; it's clearer if you look at the orbital parameters instead of a globe, where you can see that satellites are evenly spaced: https://imgur.com/a/aReh0EQ The details are complicated, but each satellite can see quite a large area and any given spot on the ground is within range of 3-4 satellites.
This service is not for you if that is your reaction. Until recently I lived in a location where there is literally no other option capable of supporting Teams calls. Before Starlink I rented a second house in a "nearby" (49 minutes each way) town to use as an office. Comparatively, Starlink is a phenomenal deal.
There’s going to be some contract law cases over this I think. If I have papers saying 4 years I would think I could argue it’s 4 years. If it’s not we’ll defined that perhaps that’s not the army’s fault?
If you take two mutually independent events and somehow introduce a dependence between the two, then the events are no longer mutually independent and therefore by law of conditional probability, you can influence the probability of the outcome of the combination.

Corollary: If you take two mutually dependent events and somehow break the dependence between the two, then the events are no longer dependent and therefore by law of conditional probability and law of independent events, you can influence the probability of the outcome of the combination.

A practical example of the corollary would be password re-entry user interfaces during account registration.

The reason while re-entering the password the second time, we are not shown what we typed earlier is to make the reentry independent of the previous entry. Otherwise, we may look at what was typed earlier and subconsciously type the same thing -- which would be bad while we are doing account registration.
The problem you’re talking about doesn’t exist. Billionaires are never going to leave much of their money sitting in a bank account, because there’s always going to be better performing assets for them to invest it in. Even if they did, the banks would be putting most of that money to work themselves anyway.
I work because I want to make money. My argument broadly is that we should adopt policies that maximise compensation for people who work to make money. Specifically, we should resist unions in the software industry because they are likely to have a net-negative impact on compensation. I expect my job would end up in Vietnam eventually, for example, and in the short term expect that wages would stagnate compared to an alternative strategy that doesn't involve unions.

Hollywood's practices have expressly failed to maximise the amount of money they earn - at all levels they earn less than people who went in to non-union fields. It does not follow that we need to copy their practices. Indeed, this is superficial evidence that their labour practices are failing. What law of gods or man exists to say that actors should be paid less than a Red Hat software engineer? They get paid badly because of how their industry is designed, unions and all.

Now I am happy to be on the record saying that the unions aren't the biggest problem that actors face - mainly their problem is that entertainment is a low value add industry and a lot of people are willing to starve if it gets them on a big screen. But the core problem is that small companies in the entertainment world can't make a good profit and can't afford to pay their employees much. The unions ain't helping with that problem, the unions are exacerbating it. I've avoided the whole industry because it looked like a hotbed of people who were going to stay poor and I don't want the industry that I'm in to start copying their failed ideas at how to align management and labour to make money.
Could we create an AI only ran corporation and have it go public? :)
It was mainly just the mortgages. The quirk is that they marketed to extremely high-net worth homeowners—I think this is the penthouse condo crowd. In order to attract them, they offered 3% interest-only loans. Without principal pay down, these mortgages are more sensitive to interest rate rises, leaving the bank with roughly $35bn in losses as interest rates have been rising. They have been insolvent for several months, but a typical bank didn’t have losses on their mortgages which were nearly so steep.

As compared to SVB, this is the same basic situation: interest rate losses led to insolvency, which could be temporarily ignored because they were “small” banks. However, once deposits started fleeing, the losses could not be ignored when they needed to sell the impaired assets for actual cash.

They have been in limbo for a few weeks thanks only to the injection of $30bn from other banks.

Another similarity in the two banks’ situations is that the same catalyst of rising interest rates cause asset losses and drive deposit flight.

It’s a weird quirk of accounting that they are allowed to ignore these losses for the life of the assets. But the other extreme is weird too, because sometimes the market value of assets can undergo a “V” shaped dip before recovering, and it would be bad to make a bank insolvent because some flash crash. The accounting rules try to split the difference by letting the bank partition its assets into buckets that take losses immediately, or at the end of life of the asset. This is an easily abused system.

It seems, hopefully, that the three failures were exceptionally badly run banks, and that this doesn’t indicate a wider wave of bank failures. Not yet.

The way Keybase handles identity was a good way forward, in my opinion, that could be extended upon but since they were bought up I’m unsure about its future and no one else is building off of it or copying it, that I know of.

I can imagine using levels of its trust model to handle the levels of email I receive e.g. this domain has X validations and my friends haven’t blocked it.
> I tried both Sendgrid and Mailgun and couldn't reliably get mail to Gmail through either one.

I mean, you can't reliably send email to gmail from gmail. It's not really the origin that's the issue, it is that gmail spam classification is quite bad. Good emails from known recipients you've corresponded actively for years will continue going to spam in gmail even as you mark them not-spam for the thousandth time.

So yes, sending to anyone @gmail.com has decents odds of ending up in spam for no reason. That's just how gmail is.

But no, sending it from your own email server doesn't make things worse. I run all my own email infrastructure and sending to gmail addresses works just as well from my server as it does from gmail itself.

I'm in a little bit of a hurry:

1. No, the Second crime has not been disclosed, it's been with held from the defendant by the prosecutor. Imagine having to defend criminal charges, but you're not told of the crimes you've committed. Does that sound at all like a fair process, one that meets the US constitutional standards?

2. The equal application of law is what is at question too. Which other candidate needed to disclose their NDAs as campaign contributions? Or is this just Trump targeted.
You can take interpretation of the law to extreme's if you want to target someone: Surly Trump buying lunch for himself is a non disclosed campaign contribution too, right.

3. You're wrong about extortion requiring violence.
Too lazy, here's chatGPT summary.

" No, extortion does not always require violence. While the use of violence or threats of physical harm is a common means of extortion, it is not necessary for the offense to occur. Extortion can also involve the use of other forms of coercion or intimidation, such as threats to harm a person's reputation, property, or financial interests. In essence, any action or statement that is designed to put someone in fear of harm or loss, and to use that fear to gain something of value, can be considered extortion. It is important to note that the use of violence or the threat of violence can aggravate the offense and result in more severe penalties. "
Its a good idea exactly as long as you only think of the good thing about it and ignore the gigantic pile of technical, political, organization and infrastructure problems with it.

> That doesn't mean anyone is free to access my bank account.
Yeah that’s the classic assumption but the reality is Human Resources are expensive and as a tech CEO you really can automate a lot of stuff that perhaps a non-tech CEO would have to delegate to a person. It’s a hidden advantage (curse?) I suppose.
Owning a home is not risk free. It can be somewhat illiquid. Its value can go down or stagnate. Maintenance costs can be significant and it can really suck having to move to find employment and sell into a down market. Much of this is not experienced by renters.

Going into retirement home ownership is quite helpful. But otherwise it’s been a mixed blessing throughout my career. I was never able to switch jobs without moving. And it was never a sellers market when I needed to sell.
> Compare, for instance, the backgrounds of two elite class premiers: George W. Bush and David Cameron. Bush’s patrilineal great-grandfather Samuel P. Bush established the family’s political dominance through technical education and the management of a firm that manufactured steel railway parts.

> In contrast, Cameron’s father, paternal grandfather, and great-grandfather were all Oxford-educated partners in the stockbroker’s firm Panmure Gordon & Co, while another Sir Ewen Cameron was chairman of HSBC. His maternal grandfather came from a family of minor titled gentry and military officers. The differentiating factor between the two major factions of the British elite was whether they derived rents from aristocratic land holdings or professional-class financial speculation. Neither built their fortunes on the industrial basis that enriched the Bush family and many of their American peers.

This needs expanding into a full journal article that addresses societal sector representation over time.

I built a device out of a large copper block interfacing with a matrix of water cooled TEC on one side to cool the block and a TEC tower on the other, with the top of the TEC tower opening into an insulated chamber. The chamber has a valve to a CO2 canister. It’s able to make dry ice without any adiabatic cooling. I 3D printed the entire insulated enclosure using Build123D (a parametric python CAD library). I’ve always been fascinating the using non mechanical systems for all sorts of tasks, in this case transferring large amounts of heat. It’s a pretty inefficient way to do things; and I did cheat by having a mechanical pump moving the water cooling into a heat exchanger with fans. The amounts of dry ice are also very small. My favorite bit was the large pure copper block acting as a large efficient thermal mass in the middle of the system.
