I love these guys. I'm not sure what learning this means for my fan ship. They never struck me as a particular no-frills aesthetic type of group. I wonder if they made this themselves or there's some story behind it.

Ellsberg is in many ways to mold from which modern day whistleblowers were cast. Edward Snowden said in an interview recently that when he was debating internally about whether or not he should become a whistleblower, knowing the ramificati

From the IRS's website: A taxpayer is insolvent when his or her total liabilities exceed his or her total assets. But if you're a bank it's a different story, because it's unclear what your assets actually are. It's

Companies break their fiscal years into quarters in different ways. Best I can tell they do this because there's an incentive to be offset from your customer's fiscal quarters. Being offset means each one of your quarters you get

ChatGPT is happy to oblige: Silicon Valley Bank, founded in 1983, has had a long and incredible journey leading up to its acquisition by the FDIC in 2023. As a bank that specializes in working with the technology and innovation industries,

On an entirely silly tangent. It's a bit of a shame that Karpathy stopped working at Tesla. Just because having a guy named Karpathy working on car pathing was such a great example of nominative determinism.

This feels a lot like the old canard that there's no such thing as altruism because altruistic people get joy out of acting altruistically and thus their altruism is really just selfishness. Which is ridiculous because the act of takin

Yeah something weird is going on here. My first thought was that Willis has aphasia so maybe he forgot he signed away the rights. But I'm pretty sure the statement came from his rep. Unless they're blatantly ripping him off though

DVC is great for use cases that don't get to this scale or have these needs. And the issues here are non-trivial to solve. I've spent a lot of time figuring out how to solve them in Pachyderm which is good for use cases where you

The rest of the internet when workers get laid off: Those poor workers, I hope they'll be able to find something new and provide for their families. Hacker news: Good, that company had too many employees anyway. \s in case it's no

It seems like if Nieman wants to clear his name he should offer Carlsen explicit permission to say whatever it is he can't. If Magnus is bluffing and that information doesn't amount to much he'd wind up looking a lot better.

I'm incredibly excited to see Godot getting an organization like this behind it. Godot is an amazing tool. It's cliched to complain about names on hn, but every time I see W4 Games I think it's a company to help me cheat on m

Lèse-majesté is the crime of "offending majesty." It's been an awfully long time since it's been a real law in Europe but I guess anti-royals are pissing the state of enough that they've decided to revive it. https

Godot is a fantastic tool, feels a lot like how Blender felt in the early days. Pleasant to use at really productive. I hope adding a company on top of it doesn't throw the baby out with the bath water. Certainly the creates deserve to

The fact that Google's execs only care about this now that the economy is turning indicates that the execs have been coasting too. This isn't a problem you want to solve once it hits the breaking point due to external factors. You

I was at Airbnb when we open-sourced Airflow, it was a great solution to the problems we had at the time. It's amazing how many more use cases people have found for it since then. At the time it was pretty focused on solving our proble

The implication is that because this rule is from 1992 (which I guess is considered ancient history), arguing that it should be implied here is essentially saying that central banking was solved in 1992. It's a bad argument.

This title is really misleading, they weren't fired at all, maybe they were almost fired. And it was before they started as a full time employee, but it was for something they did while working as an intern.

Millions of people in third world countries have escaped hyperinflation by storing their wealth in bitcoin. The revolution has already happened. You see it as crime though, because revolutions are always criminal while they're happenin
