Schwabs checking accounts are FDIC insured up to $250K. But to be clear a bank run on Schwab isn't happening. They have 7.13 trillion USD in Assets Under Management. And I am certain it isn't all in low-yield bonds.

If a company has a loan out to SVB does that get sold off to basically another lender?

Sounds like standard procedure.

Sometimes you need a blurry JPEG in a pinch.

Kareem understands that life is a collaborative game, not a zero-sum game. This is extra special coming from an athlete whose career was in excelling in a zero-sum game.

I think contract organization aside. If the government says it's a requirement the vendor will charge the max it can and accomplish it no matter what. So, in practice vendors have accountants on staff that will work a contract in such a way that logistically allows the vendor to charge the most it can for the contract.

For general US construction, there are single-source cost-plus service contracts. Which incentivizes construction to do only the necessary and charge the max possible for it.

In contrast, a concrete milestone service contract with re-bid sections of the contract that miss their milestones can create a competitive construction landscape.

Things I am omitting. Red tape slowing down construction.

Changing the incentive structure can probably help boost efficiency on the provider side.

Those two aren't mutually exclusive IMO.

Came here to say the same thing. Django gives you admin tools on day one.

They would in theory never run out of development projects for 20+ years. Many large cities could fall into this category as well. The pressure to not piss off homeowners is atrocious.

I guess I've been walking amateur this entire time.

Brake wear for sure.

He did say it was very thick

The Theater mode works fine on web. Default mode on the web breaks the UI. Nice!

I have been on both ends of the conversation. From what I have learned, each technical question to some degree requires reciting what architecturally is occurring from memory. The more complex a system becomes the harder it is to do that. Potential solutions are writing documentation, reducing complexity, or staffing people to keep complex parts in their memory.

More reason to never be on TikTok. oof.

over-hiring or not trimming due to the pandemic.

I spoke to a Freedom Solar rep in the US and they shared solar install costs were going down and now they can be as expensive as your current bill (bill swap). Bummer, what should be a continued downtrend cost curve is going up due to install costs increasing because the alternative is increasing regardless.

The 2014 RAV4 EV MSRP'd at $49800 before government incentives. They had 100 mile range, Tesla powertrains, but no DC charging.

Crazy to think what PHEVs goes for now.

To touch the stars. To reach a galaxy. To dream of afar. And in the deepest space, see our ancestry.

> Programmers are most effective when they avoid writing code. They may realize the problem they’re being asked to solve doesn’t need to be solved, that the client doesn’t actually want what they’re asking for. They may know where to find reusable or re-editable code that solves their problem.

This snippet is at the heart of it for me. The best analogy I give is a drawing of Pablo Picasso's horse. After many years of understanding your craft, a developer knows how to provide the most value with the least complexity required. It's not because the developer doesn't want to write code. It's more that they understand how to maximize the tools available for the system they work in. Reduction of complexity is better than the addition of it over the long term.

It doesn't help that corporations buy all these houses up at full price and well above listing just so they can use it as rental income.

This will only continue. Single family zoning laws perpetuate the housing inequality all throughout major US cities. "Housing is a human right." Is great to hear but in practice we don't even abide by that in governance.

There are dealers that don't do markups like this. Sad to see this happen but it's not surprising.

I always wondered how a post like this a year ago didn't go anywhere but this post makes the front page. Love the Python package. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23160774

I simply can't understand the reasoning other than a cash grab. OEMs, like Toyota, are really showing their true colors to the consumer. They don't care about you.

What I find confusing is why BMW couldn't find another interior feature to remove so cars could ship with a touchscreen. For example, removing the wireless charging for certain models. I feel that having the infotainment screen would be used on every drive vs wireless charging.

AT&T wants to own & create two sides of the same coin. Not surprising.

Wow. Crazy journey for Eren Bali. I remember when he was a Sr. Engineer at SpeedDate. When I was let go he was casually discussing Udemy around the office. At least the beginning ideas for it.

The video looked like a fancy PR piece and that's it. Sad that this tech has been shelved for 31 years. Maybe there isn't a viable go to market strategy.
