CNBC just deleted 5 pages showing the current and historical 5 year Credit Default Swaps for: - JPMorgan, deleted URL: https://ift.tt/IYFoyGu - Bank of America, deleted URL: https://ift.tt/aTHC0p6 - PNC, deleted URL: https://ift.tt/n6f8gmA - Truist Financial, deleted URL: https://ift.tt/okFXiuT - Wells Fargo, deleted URL: https://ift.tt/mOgcDLp Not deleted: Goldman Sachs https://ift.tt/lqJx9MS, Deutsche Bank https://ift.tt/NALF1Rf . You can easily use archive.org to check for yourself example: https://ift.tt/K1EqGaF This might not seem like a big thing, but it is! This was one of the very few sources were you could see current credit default swaps data online. I would love to get an explanation from CNBC. EDIT: I was actively crawling the pages in question, it did work until at least Friday, 24 March 2023 23:55:35 after that the crawling paused for the weekend as the markets are closed. So this change occurred during the weekend.

In pictures: Violent storms leave behind scenes of devastation and heartbreak.

13 by baristaGeek | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Hey there HN! We're Esteban and Esteban and we are looking to get feedback for the new version of our GPT-powered, open-source code contextualizer. We're starting with a VS Code extension that indexes information from git (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket integrations available), Slack and Jira to explain the context around a file or block of code. Finally, we summarize such aggregated context using the power of GPT. As devs we know that it's very annoying to look at a new codebase and start understanding all the nuances, particularly when the person who wrote the code already left the company. With this problem in mind, we decided to build this solution. You'll be able to get into "the ghost" of the person who left the company. Soon, we will also be building a GitHub Action that does the same thing as the VS Code extension but at the time of creating a PR: Index the most relevant information related to this new PR, and add it as a comment. This way we will provide context at one more moment, and also, we will be making the IDE extension better. Here's our open source repo if you also want to check it out: https://ift.tt/1YebWhr Please give us your feedback! Thanks.

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Should I sign a pay cut agreement?

Ask HN: Should I sign a pay cut agreement?
12 by folivore | 34 comments on Hacker News.
Hi! My employer recently announced a 10% pay cut across the board. Where I live(South Africa), employee consent is required. The company sent out a document asking us to sign in agreement. ---- This is the state of things now: * Company laid an unknown number of employees off, and laid them off without letting employees know until a week later in a meeting where they announced pay cuts * The company is pretty much full remote and the office is a nice-to-have. It is in a very expensive part of town. * Lunches once a week are catered at the office * I asked what happens if one were not to sign, and the response was "Oh, we haven't thought about that. We're hoping that everyone pulls together." * The situation will be reviewed quarterly * Company says they don't expect it to last very long, also citing this for why they kept the office ---- A few things stand out to me and feel like red flags, namely: * They chose to cut salaries rather than cut the office rent and catered lunch/snack expenses * They have no plan should someone not sign. I would think they would have planned that out, specially since they went on about how long it took them to make this decision. * Layoffs were hidden until an announcement, which was also ambiguous where people thought it was still coming. ---- My options are to sign and take a pay cut, or refuse to sign and see what happens. Law here says I am entitled to what effectively comes to a layoff, but I can't predict what the company will do. The pay cut also makes my life a lot harder since we were already on a tight budget. I would appreciate any thoughts, knowledge, or advice you might have. I know you are not a lawyer and I am not expecting you to be, but lawyers can't speak to real world experience from others in the industry. I am currently finding a lawyer to assist.
