Someone can have lots of k8s experience but not have needed to set things up end-to-end. Most people generally are familiar with "X as used at my job" which is very different from "X as what happens when I use it from scratch

If you have the luxury of a safety net or in-demand skillset, then yes, getting laid off is not a risk. If you have less means, and the costs (both monetary and social/emotional) of needing to relocate to find another job turn into som

Re $15b: the line on the balance sheet about HtM notes that they're counting it as $91,321M for purposes of the balance sheet, but in a paranthetical note that it has $76,169M of fair market value (which is a difference of $15,152M). B

So yeah their balance sheet calculation did not show it as marked to market, but even accounting for that, they were still solvent at the end of 2022 according to their annual report: https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CI

What's the basis for that insolvent since September claim? Looking at the end of 2022 financial data shows a bank that's been hurt by interest rates rising, but definitely not insolvent. Is the an alternative definition of insolve

Why the quotes? 25% of deposits being withdrawn within a day is pretty much the definition of a bank run, isn't it?

by yuliyp 4y ago
It works usually. The bank can spread out the maturity dates of money such that they'd generally have enough cash on hand to be able to meet withdrawals. The higher yields mean they can still have some cash on hand and still pay some i

I'm amazed by the NIMBYism for the middle of the desert. Yes it's not completely devoid of life and impact, but as far as places for generating solar power go, it's about as good as you're gonna get.

I wonder why we don't see more insurance companies banding together to fund that kind of research.

I think that's part of the confusion. The title of the game released in 2013 was also "SimCity", not "Simcity 5" or "SimCity 2013"

Exactly. Taking the low probability play with a high payoff is, well, unlikely to succeed. But talking to people who had a high payoff will lead you to think that it is guaranteed to succeed. Survivorship bias exists.

Yeah the article spends a very long time ranting about... medical insurance as a concept. Which, yeah, there are lots of problems with medical insurance. The doom and gloom and scare words do a lot to mask some of the more interesting point

Testing is often not enough. Developers might have a few test cases with a few records, or a few other users. Real users might do more with it, and things which perform fine in testing suddenly turn into real performance bottlenecks when yo

How do you figure 18 cents? a $30k EV amortized across 200k miles is 15 cents alone. Add any maintenance on top of that and you're easily over 18 cents of marginal cost per mile before electricity or any other amortizable costs (risk o

Caltrain is definitely cheaper than driving for one person. As an example, Palo Alto to San Francisco caltrain is $7.70 for a 32 mile ride. That's 24 cents per mile. The IRS mileage rate is 62 cents per mile. Even if you add $5.50 for

Do they not teach log scale graphs in math classes any more? The scale visually reading as 10000, 1000, 100, 10, 1 immediately clues readers in to its log-scale nature. I found the graph incredibly clear to read, and it told me what I neede

Sunset is kind of a fluid thing. The lunar eclipse on May 15 last year happened right around sunset as viewed in the SF bay area. A little way further south or west would have been an even brighter sky for the eclipse. https://ph
