The main reason managed is better is they spend a lot of energy on deliverability.

I get the feeling you're arguing in bad faith here due to some axe you have to grind with Lambda.

I think you're right. The California regulator forced Lambda to make the agreement much worse for California students. Can we fine the regulator (which is totally useless, btw)? https://www.forbes.com/sites/preston

They don't resell all the debt. And this make Lambda FAR less attractive. And if someone is going into bankruptcy it would be over far more than 17% of their salary. In which case they would find out if it's dischargeable or not.

I doubt it. Who would seek bankruptcy for 17% of their salary? And it also make Lambds FAR more unattractive.

So basically, California specifically forced them to create a special contract, different from the one they use everywhere else, that couldn't be discharged and then censured them for not clearly enough stating that the special Califor

Makes Lambda look FAR less attractive up front. You’re only paying back a small percentage of income and that’s IF you are even employed, so it’s not clear how you would be thinking of going into bankruptcy to discharge this loan.

Treatment of student loans in bankruptcy not limited to government loans. The clause makes Lambda appear less attractive so not clear why it would be included. Would be nice to hear Lambda’s side.

Not clear to me that they were lying. Also not clear they had anything to gain.

I don't understand how cars, which sell in relatively low quantities and use relatively unsophisticated chips, would be delayed by chip shortages.

I've worked on a lot of important, widely-used software and 6+ alphanumeric has always been copacetic. While more esoteric requirements a major pain point.

I am astonished that this is this is the sentiment. I've always of SQLite as a small, self-contained implementation of a SQL DB server. And so the comparison makes perfect sense to me.

by pbreit 5y ago
The correct comparison is "Mongita is to MongoDB as SQLite is to Postgres/Mysql". "performance or scalability" are not benefits of SQLite. The benefit of SQLite is that it is a "small, fast, self-contained, hig

That only applies to Level 1 and/or SAQ D merchants (who are storing card numbers) which the vast majority are not.

Most password requirements are dumb. Six alphanumeric is OK.

In that case then "2.4m years" is the unbelievable number.

I'm a little confused on how you are interpreting the majority of your customers opting for discounted pricing as an indication that you should raise prices. But, yes, in general a lot of SaaS service could probably raise prices. And a

There is zero reason for congresspersons to trade options or really even any individual stocks. The optics are horrific.

There's a place for unions since companies have an inherent organizational advantage. But they always seem to spin out of control.

One of the reason I don't like types. There really shouldn't be much boilerplate to passing JSON around back and forth.

Most APIs there's usually only a handful of endpoints. There's never an auth sequence, just a simple API key. Patching is exceedingly rare. I don't want an SDK to auto-retry. Interacting with an API actually usually is or nee

I don't really understand why developers use SDKs/libraries at all when the RESTful APIs are easy enough to consume directly.
