I think the desire would be a locally accessible API so that anyone could build an integration to it.

Right, that bit all makes sense. What was less clear to me (though sibling comments have since clarified) is why the depositor sector matters.

I’m not super well informed about this space, but my understanding was that SVB’s issue wasn’t that its depositors were from the tech sector, but rather that it had put a ton of capital into investments that are significantly less valuable

I had a good friend go through the same complications (they're back to ~80% at this point, six months later). Watching that video was an eerily familiar experience...

Not hiring related, just wanted to say that is a fantastic name for a QA platform for AI.

I took up climbing in my mid-30’s (I’m now in my late 30’s). I find the addition of the mental problem solving component really helps the gym fatigue. It’s a good upper body, core, and cardio workout (though I do try to do pushups and bodyw

I’m a firefighter/paramedic in a suburban town. We average one of these a month (false automated reports of vehicle crashes). I’ve never see a true positive report.

Lucky for me, I'm already up here! (I've got a little over a decade to go before hitting the 50 milestone, but I figured I'd beat the rush)

PyO3 is great. It makes it super straightforward to write Python extensions in Rust.

Do you think installing a a properly vented hood is going to be cheaper than an induction range?

Alec calls this out in both the description and in the video itself, but be sure to check out The Engineer Guy's video on the topic as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4j4Q_YBRJEI

Aeropress and French Press make fundamentally different coffees. The paper filter in the Aeropress changes the taste and "feel" of the coffee in ways that many people prefer. Additionally, the pressure created during the "pre

Maybe it's because we're in the former Time Warner Cable/Road Runner part of Spectrum's territory, but we've had IPv6 for years now.

This seems like a comment that is very much lacking in empathy (I don't really mean that pejoratively, it's just an observation... I don't think you feel much empathy for OP, likely because of very different experiences). For

I guarantee you there are many, many people who think about their weight way more often than "once in a while" (more like "every waking moment"), but still struggle massively with disordered eating due to a variety of fa

Is that unique to EVs? I'm pretty sure the lack of a spare is trend with new cars in general.

"Charger" is a colloquial term. Technically this is Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). You're right that it (usually) doesn't do anything in terms of voltage regulation, but that doesn't mean it doesn't

Oh wow... I haven't seen (or really even thought about) that show in ~25 years. That was one of my favorite shows in my early teens. I wonder how well it would hold up these days. I remember it being super campy (in a fun way).

> Hospitals do consult on EMS calls at times, often without billing for it. They don't bill on a per-call basis, but you can be sure that if a hospital is providing medical control services to an EMS agency there is a contract in pl

What service do they provide to firefighters? That's like saying a concert hall provides a service to the taxi cab driver who drops off a patron. (Paramedics do _way_ more than just provide a taxi service, but that's the bit that&

We definitely don't use it more broadly (in the industry, anyway... the public certainly mixes them up at times). Paramedics are ALS level care providers in the US.

"Paramedic" means roughly the same thing in the US and UK. UK training standards are a bit higher, but in both cases they are professional roles, with ongoing training requirements, etc. They have a very similar scope of practice,

Firefighters yes, paramedics, no... It's not uncommon for the firefighter/paramedic on the engine who shows up and treats the patient for a few minutes before the ambulance arrives to be making _significantly_ more than the parame

The US absolutely does, it just depends on the agency. I'm a firefighter/paramedic who sometimes rides a fire truck, sometimes rides an ambulance, and sometimes switches from one to the other mid-call as the situation warrants.

The US is a little unique in the extent to which "firefighter/paramedic" is a common role, but it's very typical for firefighting personal to have at least some level of medical training, even if it's just the &quot

There are plenty of facilities where nurses are unionized (and it is almost universally a net benefit to both the staff and patients).

Someone who owes you a debt is useful. A journalist who is shining light on things you'd prefer to keep hidden is not useful at all.

It has to do with the arrangement of the compressor. The compressor generates a lot of heat, and is located at the bottom of the appliance. With a bottom freezer, that means the compressor is much closer to the freezer and it's much ha
