Suppose Earth passed a law that car manufacturers could only build 1,000,000 tons of cars a year. You'd have Ferarris, Corvettes and blinged-out Land Rovers selling for huge sums, and maybe a $50,000 Smart car. Nobody would make a $15,000 econobox because it would be a wasted opportunity. Well-heeled people would bid up the prices of the existing used car stock, and ultimately lots of people wouldn't be able to afford a car at all. And people would point to the high cost of luxury cars rolling off the line to argue that car construction raises the average price and should be restricted further.

Bank gives loan, debtor can't pay, bank seizes assets?

OK so the internal incentives and transfer for assets to their property investment wing were set up to make this process probably too aggressive, but fundamentally it's sound, surely?
I don't understand how it is legal / allowable for a bank just to call in a loan (unless the call option is explicitly documented and paid for by the originator / issuer).

If a loan is being serviced then it shouldn't be possible for a bank just to randomly demand repayment, jack up the interest rate, or otherwise change the terms of the loan. That seems grossly unfair.

If this is the standard in the UK, then I think we need legislation.
Former Librarian (9 years out) : I was shocked at the negative reaction I received from all librarians at the time with the terms Open Source / Free Software.

Caused is the proprietary nature of the Library Systems. They were so archaic and backwards it caused me to look for a new job within 6 months. Mine was from Sirsi Dynix. Steve Balmer had nothing on these people.

My servers was a Windows Server with a Oracles DB Array and a few other servers. I was required to reboot daily my windows box and I had to halt the whole system so I could do my daily backups. It was horrible (I also had to switch to two systems since they killed the system we purchased from them (prior to my arrival)) In total about 120 hours of webinars in 3 months can cause anyone to lose the will to hear and see anything. So I started the research to replace everything to Open Source (Evergreen) and the onslaught was intense. I was just doing research and they were already telling my boss how everything they did wrong was my mistake. I had the logs to show that they were lying and a boss who trusted me, but it was SO FRUSTRATING.

They would do everything to discourage the ideals of Open Source in conferences they would have info sheets just spreading FUD about the insecurity of Open Source since Hackers could have access to the whole code.

Wikileaks even did a release. Check out the Librarian defending the FUD. http://jasongriffey.net/wp/2009/11/03/sirsi-dynix-vs-open-so...

So glad I am not a Systems Librarian today. That and paying tens of thousands every year for old dusty journals pay for by tax dollars.

That is true for the original statement (that helmets provide safety on a bike) as well.

I mean, you would expect some improvement, but (as a Dutch citizen), i expect it to prevent harm in the same way wearing helmet during sex would prevent harm.

In general: if you taking those kind of risks (as a car, as a bike, etc.) that people on a bike need a helmet, you don't belong in traffic here. The effect on mentality may be as important, if not more important.

Also, interesting to realize, if car and a bike have an accident, by law, it is automatically the fault of the car, no matter what. Even if the person on the bike is drunk, driving in the wrong direction, etc.

So, although bikers are betting their life going out, cars are betting their wealth, money and freedom.

It turns out, instead of focusing on 'who is at fault' and 'who is right', it is much safer to focus on 'lets make sure we don't hit each other' and turn accidents into a mutually-assured-destruction kind of deal. This way, every actor in traffic has a natural tendency to compensates for mistakes of the other actors. And this attitude is the one that prevents most accidents.
I wear a helmet for bicycling, in-line skating, snowboarding and whitewater kayaking. In the case of the first three sports, the helmet has saved me from nasty head hits:

- Two over-the-handlebars crashes on my bike at relatively low speed (one when mountain biking).

- A low tree limb and several backwards falls when inline skating.

- Countless backwards falls when learning to snowboard.

For whitewater kayaking, a helmet is effectively mandatory because head strikes against underwater rocks may knock you unconscious in rapids (and because very few groups will paddle with somebody lacking standard safety gear). I once saw a guy paddling in a hockey mask with a cage, which is non-standard for whitewater kayaking. I later learned he had bounced that face cage off an underwater rock once.

As for cars, well, I once hit my head against the door frame in a car accident (no side air bags in that vehicle) and ended up needing to work half time for over 6 months. Even minor concussions can be no fun at all. Happily I made a full recovery.

I like my helmets. I earn my living using my brain, and I intend to strictly minimize the risk of future concussions.
They have been doing this for a while now, I already got used to see their long-form pieces and I can say that every time there is a comment identical to yours.
But they already had recalled the model, the first version, which can be exchanged for what was supposed to be a 'safe' model. Didn't work out for them.

Of the almost 8+ million people biking almost every day. Just to put that in perspective.

And that's not even counting the tourists, which likely skew the results a bit (since they will have less experience and likely won't be sober at all)
If you ride a motorcycle even following the speed limit and you fall, even if you don't hit any vehicle you are risking:
- hitting the ground (front or back) so having a concussion or smashing all your teeth
- hitting sidewalks or guard rails
Moreover the helmet lowers the noise given by air flowing, helps you see better at sunrise/sunset, protects you from insects.
I think there's no good reason to avoid wearing an helmet while riding a motorcycle.
I've always played with the thought (too lazy to ever get down to it) about multi-dimensional mazes. They could be very small, but still make for mind-boggling puzzles.

What edejong said basically, Rx library uses this concept really well - you can see for example in .NET implementation [1] how the scheduler interface looks like. They basically abstract system timer and scheduling tasks, then you can implement you own virtual time implementation where current time is just a property that you can manually set, and when you change it you go trough the list of scheduled tasks and see if you need to execute any before the new current time.

Oh Clifford Chance. They facilitated a competitor sending us groundless* cease and desists which caused a great deal of anxiety. Guess I'm not surprised to see them rubbing shoulders with my favourite bank RBS.

RBS ran a great scam when I was at University, free 3 year railcards for signing up a student account. No one I knew ended up getting one unless they complained.

I forgot about it, and complained 6-12 months later and asked for a 2 year railcard. They denied, and basically said I shouldn't be so entitled and that the bank are doing students a favour and that I should of complained earlier.

RBS is also a bank I phoned up in tears because I couldn't manage my credit card debt when I was younger and in a bad time in my life. Was offered zero breaks. I expressed commitment to repaying the debt, but needed a couple of months breathing space on the repayments. Nope, not an option.

They are one of the shittiest banks in the world, and I'm always more than happy to tell people my experiences of them when they pop up in conversation.

* This is my opinion of the letter. Guess I have to make that explicit in this context.
It's not uncommon for businesses to have overdrafts in place of or additional to loans for cashflow.

The bank calls in the overdraft because of the bank's bottom line, rather than for anything related to the business itself or change in profitability. Was quite common in both the 08 and 91 recessions.
Thanks a lot, mate! Fixed!

Anecdotal evidence - i never wore helmet when growing up, nobody did. once had an accident on small bmx bike when I fell head first on tarmac, but didn't land on head and apart from scratches and being shaken all good (if parents only knew...).

few years ago decided to buy new cross country (ie all-rounder) one, lightweight and blazing fast for what it is. Decided to go for a helmet for the first time. After 2 weeks, had a head-first fall because of my GF stopped on some narrow forest path uphill, behind the corner and I hit brakes full power when I saw her with no place to avoid.

I miss few seconds of memories, just waking up laying in the grass, picking my head from sharp pointy stone sticking out of the ground - helmet hit it in forehead area. Have I not worn it, it's more probable than not I would die there, I was still badly shaken from impact force on my head, and I was driving slowly when it happened (10-15 kmh).

Fiancee works on emergency, the stuff she sees daily makes her wear helmet too. Link all articles you want, we're keeping our helmets where they are, on our heads, thank you.

Thailand has all that you mentioned, as well as novel things like vehicles driving the wrong way on the hard shoulder on divided highways.

Thailand is #2 behind Libya when ranked by traffic accident deaths / inhabitant: 36 per 100K. On the same list USA has just under 11 per 100K. To put that another way. USA had 34K road deaths from ~324M residents. Thailand had 24K road deaths from 67M residents.

So, you'll understand if I don't quite agree with the concept that doing what the fuck you want so long as you pay attention to every other fucker "works really well".

It's the employers' fault, TBF. Especially in the rich Bay Area, the big companies could, instead of trying to cram everyone in a very expensive campus building, build smaller offices all over the county, state, even country.

Banks' greed ... not so much. Government pushing banks to do this ... yes. As documented in this case. Think about it: for a bank to risk stuff like this without assurances that the government will be behind it when there is pushback ...

Besides, if you know economics even a little bit you know that there are 2 sets of accounting rules : one for banks, one for everyone else. No bank can satisfy the normal rules for solvency, so they simply don't apply to them. Banks can't exist without government backing, even in individual cases of small banks.

Yes this is the banks' doing. But ... the government is not the solution, sadly.
> If your commute is one hour cycling in guessing you might sweat and need a shower?

1. The weather is Holland is kind of optimal in maximizing not sweating.

2. We are not going that fast. The effort we put into it is identical to a normal walk. You just go three times as fast.

The difference between walking/running. Which is why you don't need a shower and why you don't need a helmet. So you go about 15 km/h at most. The bike is heavy (giving you much more stability). You sit up straight (giving you a much better view). You stretch your legs and you are standing still with a bike between your legs. You don't fall with a bike a holland, you loose balance and choose to stand.

For all intents and purposes, its just like walking and every non-dutch person keeps coming at it as if we are doing sprints or a marathon.

Even for private banking, you should establish a good working relationship with an actual human at your main bank, but use other banks where it makes sense, and make sure your main bank knows about it. Suddenly they will offer better rates, and be more accommodating. If they don't, that bank is too big for you, look for another one.

No wonder why people are voting with the Trumps and Farages of the world. Natural self correcting behaviour in an entrenched and corrupt system. When so many institutions and people are behaving in this manner there must be some kind of correction.
Alternatively: If you could build 1 $1,000,000 apartment or 20 $100,000 apartments, which would you do?

A lot of things about the modern market are more about volume than quality; this explains how e.g. common electronics have become relatively cheap, but tend to die within 3-5 years - they're cheaper and the profit margins are lower, but in the long run you sell more of them.

It's why smartphones will remain in the <$1000 range, so that, unlike e.g. a gold smartwatch, people will be more likely to replace them within 3 years. Or why the bio-industry is a thing - why make quality meat at a price point where people can only afford to have it once or twice a week, when you can make it dirt cheap so they eat it daily?
Sorry, I should have been more clear. That helmets protect the head in a crash pretty obvious, and that metastudy seems to confirm it.

What I had in mind was that helmet users tend to risk-compensate, taking more risks in traffic.
Whatever dude. You (evidently) know nothing about me or my country. Maybe your country has great numbers for safety of cyclists; good for you if so, but that doesn't mean everything you're doing is right, much less that it's so obviously right as to not even bear discussion.
It's also such an easy and appealing gesture. It's a bit like drawing your gun out, you like it when you do it swift. Just reading the article I was thinking "aww noo, I can't tickle the handle and swerve out like a cat anymore. ... but they're so right I can't win"

although it seems to make some sense, I am never treating any cyclist differently, be it granny or some racer or anything between, whatever the dress and equipment. It's a moving obstacle to be overtaken asap, with some extra room around them necessary.

the only 2 things that matter - speed of the cyclist and the stability of their ride (ie keeping straight path close to side of the road which I do on bike is ideal, aholes driving 2-3 next to each other taking full lane and sometimes more, chatting together and going left to right is on the other side of the spectrum)
>And the physics of falling off your bike are not that different and the ground is about as hard in Canada as in Netherlands.

You would think that would be true, but no.

1. The ground in Holland is flat.

2. The bike is heavy.

3. The bike is the type where you are sitting up (not leaning forward like a race bike).

So, when a dutch person bikes they are going no faster than 15 km/h. When they stretch their legs they are standing still. When they fall to the side they generally fall into grass or sidewalks (which are thin stones on top of moisty earth), that can actually absorb quite a lot of energy/momentum.

Both drivers and cyclists seem to believe this, but it is an exaggeration. The law says a court may decide to hold your (mandatory) liability insurance liable for some of the damage 'without having to prove your guilt'. It does not say you get the blame no matter what the pedestrian or cyclist does. At the same time, you can still sue the cyclist or pedestrian for damage to your car.
