It's a bit frustrating to read articles like this which miss the most important regulatory change in probably the past 50 years to deal with too big to fail: the introduction of bail-in.

Bail-in is a fundamental change to insolvency law. It is a power given to the regulator to declare a bank non viable, whether it is because of capital or liquidity concerns, and to imposes losses on its bond holders over the course of a week end. This would auto-recapitalise the bank which should be open for business the following Monday with a healthy capital position. You can think of it as a flash, extra-judiciary chapter 11, specific to banks.

The intention is to imposes losses on wholesale investors of the bank, essentially investors in bonds and capital instruments, and to spare depositors, even if technically depositors have the same ranking than bond holders (and therefore would share the losses equally in a bankruptcy). However should the magnitude of the losses require an extraordinary large bail-in, uninsured depositors may be targeted too (essentially corporate clients and high net worth individuals).

Banks are required to accumulate a large amount of wholesale funding to ensure that there is enough debt to bail in the day the shit hits the fan.

This should largely mitigate the too big to fail, as it would avoid the messy aspects of a large bank bankruptcy (Lehman scenario) while not using any tax payer money and making investors bear the losses related to their investments.

Does it solve all problems? God knows what will be the magnitude of the next crisis. If the US, the UK or France default, that may not be sufficient to save the banking system. But it should certainly mitigate a lot the too big to fail risk. And it is extremely unlikely that a bail-out would be considered before a bail-in would have happened.

Disclaimer: I work in a bank.
I understand the moral and philosophical argument made here, and as a liberal, I am predisposed to believing it. However, the article claims that due to capital requirements at least the banks have reduced their place in riskier trades. So even if moral hazard didn't disincentivize risky trades, clearly capital requirements have, so at least something has worked?
Its fates like this, which scream for a pragmatic approach. If you cant cure somebody, at least give him a dignified way to exist on. Enough to avoid the with drawl symptoms and a way to work.
Certainly there is teamwork in many films, but I feel in traditional films that teamwork is to work towards the common goal of 'freedom' (abstractly). In this Star Trek movie, it came down to a struggle of power vs (explicitly) "unity". I.e., bad guy was against the idea of Unity. So in American films, unity is used as a tool to the end goal of freedom, whereas in this film the struggle was towards the ultimate goal of unity.

I visited an Airbus factory and on the floor were dozens of pallets filled with parts ready to be loaded on a ship headed for China. The tour guide said that in order for big orders of Airbus planes to be made from China, Airbus had agreed to do final assembly in China. Boeing on the other hand, he smirked, did not agree to this and subsequently didn't get the orders (this has since changed and Boeing is doing the same, just not final assembly). It was pretty obvious to me why Boeing would not have wanted to do this, but Airbus didn't seem to have the same reservations.

I will bet that in 5-10 years, China will start manufacturing its own airplanes.

Your approach is pretty much standard practice in the engineering world. People in this industry like to claim that answers to those kind of questions can be faked, but you can't fake depth. At some point, if you know what you are doing[1], you will make them look like an idiot if they have been lying.

> His point was that China was moving somewhere

Oh, it's moving somewhere alright. Whether it's in a good or bad direction is highly contestable. It's easy to take bold and decisive action if you don't have to worry about things like public opinion and democratic consensus.

> American conservatives blame poor people for their problems. They didn't work hard enough, didn't get an education, have the wrong attitude or whatever.

You haven't talked to many Chinese have you? This is a pretty common attitude in China, too. If you think Americans are self-centered, you haven't been to a country where "to get rich is glorious".

The sad part about this is that so many people took their money out in 2008 out of frustration or mistrust -- and then missed one of the greatest bull rallies in our generation.

Just to gather some of the other comments together, if you're a Django developer already, then you're used to more difficult deployments.

So anything that goes in the direction of easier (WordPress-style if you wish) deployments is going to be a big bonus for the Python/Django developers who are already committed to the language or the framework, and is going to be a big win for the service that can provide it.

I don't think I am giving away any of grand secrets if I say that that's what we're doing (and trying to do more of) - be a first choice for Django/Python developers.

For the Django developers, it doesn't need to be as easy as WordPress - it just needs to be easier than the other options (which seem to begin with hammering bits together by hand until you have a working server, sometimes).

(That may not be enough to bring in users who may have gone for WordPress, but that's a further ambition.)

In the meantime, easiness really is important, which is why I think there is so much to learn from WordPress's success, but ease-of-deployment is definitely not the only thing that's important.

For example, I don't think it's an unfair comment to say that one flaw WordPress has is security, and that Django/django CMS/Aldryn are much more secure, and that alone should be something people think about.

Or: there's more to hosting than dumping some files into a web server's directory. New deployment technologies such as Docker make it possible for a Django site built on Aldryn to be taken away and hosted somewhere else in minutes - being able to migrate your deployments if you wish to isn't an eye-catching advantage, but it's really valuable from a business point of view.

Or yet again, Docker makes it possible for a cloud hosting platform such as ours to be way more than just a hosting or deployment platform. It's also a development platform, with tools that integrate the desktop and the cloud and make the work of the experienced application developer easier, not just that of the non-technical person who wants a new site.

Anyway, that's a slightly long-winded way of saying that the lesson from WordPress is extremely valuable, but the way it applies to Django doesn't mean that we have to compete on WordPress's terms!

If your concern is with quality a good place to browse is: https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyItForLife/

Generally you'll have a number of options with pros/cons of each to select from. Often things are a little on the pricier side - but that price is for quality. Not all items are meant "for life" unfortunately, but a good 5-10 years is better than 5-10 weeks.
Low-end ICs are so cheap it's not worth the trouble.

Solar cells are the most promising area. There have been roll to roll processes. Applied Materials worked on one. Energy Conversion Devices (bankrupt 2012) had a production roll to roll process for flexible solar cells. But it wasn't cheaper than silicon wafers from China.

A) It's not always about sexuality.

B) What does "imposing a category" even mean? Nobody is forcing you to identify as anything. Very few of my gay friends will self-identify as queer.

I identify as queer. I find a lot of strength from the fact that I don't need to neatly fit onto the kinsey scale, and I hope that you can remember the discomfort of "Smear the Queer" to reach out to all the people and interests who were neglected in the gay marriage campaign.

A number of small companies sold packaged S-100 systems with customized CP/M provided. I bought an S-100 bus box from "California Computer Systems" which included a serial port board and disk interface board, and they provided a BIOS set up for those devices. They also provided the source, and over a couple of years I modified the BIOS several times, adding devices and improving things generally. But lots of people bought turnkey systems like the Sol [1] and IMSAI [2] and never touched the BIOS.

That's certainly part of it. But the economy rewards and enforces concentrations of power as a naturally emergent property. If you're Verizon you don't have to worry about too much about market entrance. If you create a highly demanded, new good or service then you'll quickly create all sorts of things empowering assets: market share, name recognition, and other 'incumbent powers'.

Wands only (I think it may even be a beta feature or something I had to specifically activate in developer settings). Here are some screenshots of the various front camera uses:

http://media.bestofmicro.com/P/6/571146/original/room-view-c... - This view is overlaid on the game when you doubletap the system button on the wand. Edit: It can also be overlaid automatically when you approach chaperone bounds, but it's incredibly distracting when set up that way.

http://cdn.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/mini-cam... - This view is available when in the "pause menu" when the front camera is enabled. It's a little weird, because the view is attached to the wand but the camera is attached to your head.

Is Jet.com really worth $3B? I tried it on multiple occasions because of the hype surrounding it and was underwhelmed. From the WSJ article:

Wal-Mart would gain Jet’s sophisticated pricing software, as well as warehouses and valuable customer data. The retailer also would get a brand that can appeal to higher-income shoppers, something Walmart.com has struggled to do. Walmart.com shoppers’ mean annual household income was $58,000 in 2015, while Amazon shoppers made $68,000, according to data from Kantar Retail.

This is for email marketing, not cold emails. Email marketing refers to using automated systems to send emails to a list. A cold email is a human sending an email individually.

Government and banks are collaborating on many Halliburton/Blackwater style public/private partnerships:

- The mortgage lending industry is largely influenced by Fannie May and Freddie Mac, which exist under the implication of a bailout, which means they have an undisciplined appetite for risk. They also have not been required in the past to disclose financials like regular firms are required to. Subsidized loans are the fountainhead of "credit as a right" policies intended to help the poor take on debt that would not otherwise be affordable.

- There has been a tremendous increase in education lending, which has helped to fuel the education bubble. But unlike credit card debt, student loans are not discharged if the borrower is forced to declare bankruptcy. Our politicians have rallied to have more and more of this lending occur, which has resulted in no price pressure on universities (which is why the US has the highest priced secondary education in the world). Banks love it because they get to live in a world where bankruptcy laws intended to protect consumers don't exist.

- These are all part of the "too big to fail" policy of US regulators.

When governments have a stake in particular prices (such as the price of a loaf of bread, a home, or a college education) the market starts to distort, and supply and demand no longer help guide investment. When a bank has purchased massive amounts of Mortgage backed securities under the impression that they are low risk, and the price changes, the bank cares a lot about certain prices. The corruption is what happens when the government starts to care and starts to build policies to shelter banks from market price movement.

Wall Street has not been tamed. For a while the game was to collude to structure risk so that every ounce of leverage benefitted the banks and the systemic risk was unhedged. Now the game is to engage in "credit as a right" policies that couple the bank's outcome to a government policy goal, with profits coming from barriers to entry and lack of competition moreso than from successful portfolio management or efficiency.

Without the strict discipline of total failure to guide bank behavior, it is without question that myriad perverse incentives exist and are being exploited. Greed is not the issue, it's much simpler than that. It's corruption. Regulators are equally at fault.
I'm interested but not particularly surprised to see everyone here against this move.

These people are out on parole. That means that they could be in prison instead, but the authorities have decided to be nice and let them out early under supervision. They can be sent back to prison for simple things like associating with the wrong people, or failing to tell the government about their movements.

This restriction doesn't seem terribly useful to me, but nor does it seem particularly onerous.
Someone on parole would be receiving a punishment less than the max the book provides.

It's hard to completely generalize for the clobbering reason you point out.

Assuming that you essentially want to keep your hooks coupled with your source code (or, at least, it's ok to do so), I've found that Make works pretty well here.

In the root of the project directory, you have a subdirectory containing all the hooks you need (or use a git submodule), and then you create a Make target to copy those hooks (and make them executable) to your .git/hooks directory. Make is nice because it won't clobber existing ones (unless they are older, in which case you probably want them overwritten).

Then, whenever someone first clones the repo (or whenever you make a change to the hooks), they just need to run make on that target again.

Obviously, not an ideal choice for everyone, but it's pretty simple and works well for me.

The "systemically important financial institutions" have been subject to harsher capital requirements, more intrusive regulation. In theory, they're supposed to have plans for orderly shutdowns in case of major failure, but the effectiveness of these can't be tested without another major crisis. It's sufficiently onerous that some of these institutions (e.g., GE Capital) are slimming or shutting down entirely to avoid the requirements.

Is this enough to make them cease to be TBTF? I don't think anyone knows. But the largest banks have generally been less risky, not more risky over the past half-decade.
