Can you explain to me what the "risky investments" were here that SVB partook in?

> I agree, let the bank fail and the bankers should go to jail. Curious about why the bankers are getting such ire. Is there a good article describing where negligence kicked in to cause this? Because from what I can tell in my very li

Oh I read it as "I only want to block people manually". For sure if there are existing "moderation" tools in place to clear spam and wildly offensive material then yeah manually blocking the rest seems... mostly fine?

I don't spend all day on email blocking! Gmail does a great job.

lol so the fact that we didn’t have $250k of runway ends up being a good thing?

Exactly, and just to drive it home, I’m going to feel zero pain as a result of SVB imploding, Thanks to the fed. I felt no pain in ‘08, in ‘20, also thanks to the fed. It was just news to me, abstract and happening to other people. That w

If you think this place is well moderated, try having a civil discussion on DNI initiatives or anything at all that gets the tech-bro SV hate culture engine fired up. You will be downvoted, flagged and throttled before the hour is up.

You would spend your days blocking people, and not much else.

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/economics/08/federal-r... The obvious example is the panic of 1907, and if your argument is that today’s fed looks anything like 1929’s fed, that’s gonna be a tough road

Hmm, I suggest reading about some of the pre-fed crises to understand better why these modern problems are much better to have if given the choice…

It’s likely just one person fwiw, HN is alarmingly bereft of anti-one-person-who-is-upset measures.

And thank you for your bootlicking. I wonder if the irony of creating new accounts just to comment on the uselessness of anonymity is lost on you or not…

If there's no tree, then what is there? A rhizome, maybe. The article is about literal trees (e.g. dogwoods, oak) and not mathematical structures, but it has a decidedly philosophical bent, and I find the idea of rhizomes to be relevan

You can challenge a subpoena right? Like, he could hire a lawyer and contest the scope of this? Not saying it's not wildly inconvenient, but he could if he wanted to.

Okay so to be clear, are you saying you don't believe Walmart.com does the things you've listed, but if they did, you'd be wrong?

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again; the startups that find ways to use AI to solve problems without having to advertise that they’re using AI will be the winners in the long run.

Forms were annoying but `react-hook-forms` eliminated any random issues we had, and now forms are fine. Again, context saves the day here by letting me grab the form context within nested components to keep everything humming. I don't

I get so lost in these conversations, because I've been the lead on a relatively complex React app for literally years now and none of any of this has mattered or come up in any way whatsoever. Our app is plenty fast/responsi

Which, of the two, would be more accurate and relevant to users? Do users care about an estimated 27ms increment that they objectively cannot notice, or the overall measured response time?

by Zetice 4y ago
Hm, so you think it's better to calculate response time than to measure it as a way of tracking this important metric?

If you're unsure why this must be said, you've never worked in a large corporate environment. People will spend weeks on decisions like this.

Who here is suggesting you add a "couple dozen" of dependencies like this? And you're on a "generic web app for Internet things". This page loading 27ms slower would not be perceptible.

by Zetice 4y ago
Eh, while you're right, there's something to be said for focusing on the symptoms rather than the underlying condition. It's obviously problematic, but if the problems introduced by not solving the underlying issue are better

28ms is a small trade off. Sorry, but it is, and this is exactly my point; you don't have to give a hoot about 28ms and you can still be a very effective developer. In fact, I find it hard to think of an effective software dev who do

Huh, what does that have to do with whether or not Amazon has a monopoly? I think at this point it’s clear they do not, you just didn’t have the info about the industry you were commenting on.

Per your citation, at 875 kB/s it takes 28ms to download. I'm gonna leave that in the "small" category for now, considering 516.25 kB/s is about what Cuba averages on mobile, ranked last in the world. [0] [0] http

None of those facts do that, as Walmart offers everything you listed. I just happen to live in AR and know a number of people who work on the relevant teams that do each of these things at Walmart, and given Walmart.com's growth in the

by Zetice 4y ago
So… walmart.com? You can use outrage if you want, but the fact remains that Amazon has nothing even approaching a monopoly, not in the legal sense and not in any layperson sense. You’re kind of proving my point for me, that there’s no actua
