The sentence clearly means that it was never adjusted from inflation from when it was adjusted to 250K, 12 years ago . You can tell that this is far from being adjusted for inflation since it is now 100K off from what it was in 2010, or

It’s also never adjusted for inflation, despite this mess in theory being triggered by raising of interest rates due to super high inflation. 250K when it was set in 2010 is the equivalent of almost $350K now. If we ignore that, then we’re

I think you are wrong to not keep doing this (and I also don’t believe you’ll stop doing it unless it’s actually hard to continue doing, vs. the initial setup being difficult). I can tell you that after this I will start doing it. I don’t

That's not the situation here. Etsy holds seller payments in SVB in an account, that yes of course, is probably above the FDIC 250K limit since it represents the amount to be paid out to hundres if not thousands of sellers: https:&#x2

It really sucks for Etsy’s sellers so maybe… Etsy learned a lesson? Here’s the confused lesson by association argument again. The majority of your argument is around learning lessons, but you momentarily acknowledge that perhaps there are i

Besides the trivially obvious recognition that people other than engineers work at companies (cooks, janitors, HR, etc.), realize also that, for example, Etsy’s sellers may be affected since the account used to pay them was at SVB. Of cours

You may not even need HTML. HTML is subject to different renderings on different browsers, confusing features that may not be supported on different browses, and may tempt you to use JavaScript (which can throw "errors" if written

Great! I am sympathetic to arguments around limiting state and/or Federal powers. But the reality is that that is actually less and less often the actual goal. Instead, the goal has become to have "the other side" dictate wha

No, you’d refuse to read the curl complaint because it’s too long, and instead arbitrarily decide that the entire discussion should hinge on issuing a challenge for them to find you one place where curl doesn’t work. And then when he does,

You are certainly making progress on the argument you believe you are having. My point has always been simple: Python causes more pain than other languages when you're not directly using it. I can get node 0.10 on alpine 3.17 just fi

That is precisely what happened: I don't write Python (grandma doesn't write JS). Python changed (JS changed). Environment stopped supporting the old one (browser for grandma, package manager for me). End-user apps didn't kee

It is hard to keep track of the (no joke) dozens of different weird failures each unique instance of this caused. But I do vaguely recall that sometimes, yes, you now have to go and point each individual utility at the right Python, or set

As someone who does not use Python , the end result of this is that I now look into whether random utilities I use happen to be written in Python, and if so try to find an alternative. This is because I felt the pain of this transition -
