One major difference is that with standard lines of credit it's a transaction between the bank loaning funds and the borrower only. With letters of credit, the payee is also a signatory to the contract. edit: and I guess the payee&#x27

Ironic that reddit self-sabotaged the one popular place to converse with verified experts in their field so hard (AMAs) as that was probably the most trustworthy input source on the site considering participant vetting

The difference between a line of credit and a letter, afaik, is you can't regenerate available credit with a letter by paying back. The letter of credit is a one-time sum, so you can't pay down partway through to extend the lifeti

Oh, got it! Thank you for scrounging that up I was specifically looking for mention of that site, no wonder I didn't find it. Makes a ton of sense in general and it's lame we no longer get a special exception to their wall.

Oof, I don't lurk here during work nearly as much as I used to - missed the memo about it being a banned source, do you have a link for that? In the past that source has unpaywalled articles specifically for HN readers so I'm sa

Sorry - the link in that thread is to a tweet, not the article the tweet links, which is what I wanted to link - that article indicates the partners leading the fund (and program) left YC. Also, the continuity program page (provided info fo

Too bad SVB's CEO lobbied so hard for those stress tests to no longer apply to them when Trump relaxed Dodd-Frank.

"Prompt artist" / "prompt engineer" is already a "title" I've seen people use in the wild. Gross.

Got it! Ignore my "correction" then, makes sense and definitely paints the point well.

Not to derail, but I think you're conflating "right to work" with "at-will employment" here - you're describing at-will, where the employee/employer relationship can be severed by either party at any time

Determining something as progressive requires a more historical perspective - for an alarmingly high percentage of our history as social creatures, eugenics were accepted as science (or divine judgment). It's only in the last century

> So it was conservative to worry about the rise of Trump and the Alt Right? No, because as we saw in the 1930 and 40s this strain of virulent fascism is not new, but sadly quite traditional - this was the conservatism bubbling through

Because the definition of the word conservatism is "commitment to traditional values and ideas with opposition to change". If you're worried about society changing, there is no definition of the word "progressive"

"Reuse" in the context of the 3Rs means "give new life beyond initial purpose", not "have it sit around to wait for other garbage to join it before we throw it out after a single use". Neither of your examples

"Nothing matters" is a usually cheerful statement coming from a true nihilist, because it's leaving off the implicit "nothing matters [in an objective external sense so meaning is subjectively determined]". They&#x2

Perhaps I should have said geocultural slur then, I agree that it's still meant to denigrate a particular group of people. Despite it mainly being associated with white people, I don't think it's equivalent to something like

Neither "redneck" nor "midwestern" is a racial slur. At worst it's a geocultural insult. Not that I think GP's comment was useful or constructive, but overreaction helps nobody.
