The real stat is almost certainly that ~80% of buyers want phone projection generically, meaning Android Auto or CarPlay, and Apple is just saying it means CarPlay because I cannot think of a single model that offers one but not the other

I'm pretty sure this guy has completely mixed up cities and metro areas. The City of Atlanta is about 60% smaller than the city of San Francisco. This guy is almost cetainly referring to the Atlanta Metropolitan Area being bigger than

He is not the President OF West Virginia
424.
by mixdup 4y ago
Yeah but he's not "King of England" any more than Joe Biden is "President of West Virginia"
425.
by mixdup 4y ago
How much trouble are they going to have by using "king of England" which is not a title that Charles III has or had, or has even existed for 350 years

>It never, ever means renting bare metal. Weird, in my company where we are doing the opposite migration (from traditional datacenter where we manage the physical servers to Azure) this is exactly what we mean and say and how we describe
428.
by mixdup 4y ago
"their own datacenter" both previously and now almost certainly means renting bare metal or colocation space from a provider. I highly doubt they have physically built their own datacenter from scratch

Exactly. This guy replies later in the thread "there should never be a bug deployed to prod" essentially saying what does it matter The idea that you can guarantee there's never any bugs in your code is incredibly naïve

We can't even reliably build them for anything approaching a sane cost on Earth. I hope they're going to build a bankruptcy court up there, too

What was the last commercial power reactor that was built in the US that didn't result in a bankruptcy of some kind? I think Westinghouse and Toshiba have been through bankruptcy court enough times they have their own wing at the court

if all of the accounts are below the $250k, then you actually have zero at risk, not even 1/12th As long as your accounts are under the limits, there's no need to re-balance on outflow, just ensure you remain under the insurance l

The site is kind of sparse with specifics, this seems like a marketing ploy to people who don't know heat pumps exist or have existed for decades. Mostly marketed to people who think a gas furnace is the only option What do I get out o

the economics of the market still prevail. if they lower salaries, people will find jobs elsewhere. if they overcharge for their services, customers will go elsewhere (and there are alternatives--credit unions) yes, consumers pay all of the

by mixdup 4y ago
it does not, credit unions are not members of the FDIC. They are members of the NCUA, which serves the same purpose as the FDIC for credit unions

the systemic risk exceptions/procedures they're using were put in place after 2008

Well, paying for it by a special assessment on banks means the banks aren't going to get a free ride. They, as a group, have to get their shit together otherwise they will pay dearly

This is fine, but when things are rosy the VCs and startups can’t claim that government regulation is communism and choking off their ability to do whatever they want If you want the backstop if the government you have to be willing to play

We’re changing the (very well) known rules in the middle of a crisis and acting like we didn’t know what happened could happen, when we did. This is a bailout

yeah, this would not be excited in the least. watching a dozen emails come in would be quite boring

a safety deposit box is not safe by a long shot. if the bank burns down you're screwed. safety is the $250k FDIC limit, period

In other articles I've read where some of these VCs had "levers" into the bank where they could keep track of what their companies were doing. Not sure what exactly that means, or if it was legal, but it makes sense.

The only truly viable deposit insurance is from the government, because they can print money What good is private insurance from an insurance company if they go insolvent because of massive numbers of bank failures So, now the answer to you
447.
by mixdup 4y ago
But they should be prepared for it to happen regardless of the cause/reason is my point

Because the issue here was that it was a classic run, it was not insolvent it just was not liquid enough that it could survive well north of 50% of its customer base (I am willing to be in the 70 or higher range) pull out every penny of the
