Tell me:

Why was the cash reserve regulation introduced? What problem did it address?

Why, if banks are not able to comply with this regulation without "unloading massive stacks of treasuries at market close daily", are they allowed to load up on "massive stacks of treasuries" flaunting the cash reserve regulation in the first place?

You're asking the wrong question.

The question isn't "have we completely stopped blood diamonds", the question is "have we lowered the demand for blood diamonds".

If the answer is yes, then the strategy is legitimate and worked. We may have more work to do, but the argument that we must wait for perfect before attempting to make improvements is asinine.

Noting as a reply, rather than an edit. Neither scenario I described implies that the entirety of one's life must be devoted to subsistence.

The fact that the vast majority of people participating in a capitalistic society consume at a rate greater than mere subsistence indicates that they value luxury[0] more than passion, at least over some curve of resource consumption beyond subsistence. There may be an intersection point where marginal passion is valued more than marginal luxury. I will make no statement or judgment about where this intersection occurs, though you are free to.

[0] Here, I am using "luxury" in a non-standard way - to indicate those things which are beyond subsistence. In this definition, all resources beyond the minimum required to support life are luxuries. I don't have a better word to use. This is a reductive definition. Anything beyond the barest shelter and minimum calories to survive is luxury for the purpose of this definition and the argument in which it is used.
> On StackOverflow: copy/pasting docker CLI (even given proper context fitting into a larger whole) commands and configs probably has a 50% success rate for commands, and maybe 10% if it's a config of some sort (e.g. compose files)

This is not particularly surprising. Docker does two things. One is a filesystem package manager, the other is providing a common interface around dozens of low-level features. The filesystem packaging stuff works well enough. It's the other part that is inherently complex because it does so many things at once (networking, mounts, resource management, security, process management, ...). When something doesn't work you'll end up with old-school linux sysadmin work except that you now don't deal with a single network interface and a handful of iptables rules but dozens scattered across namespaces and complex mount trees.

There's no magic, just convenience as long as you stay on the happy path.

It's legal and automatic that the company has rights to invetions you came up with at work (if invention is associated in any way with your tasks) but company has no right to anything you do, think or create outside of your working hours with your own equipment.

Look, for instance, to the history of forks of Postgres to add new functionality.

Initial version often involve heavy surgery. Then the maintainers have to manually merge from upstream essentially forever. Manual merges are not fun, they are tedious, and they are prone to errors (in part because they are tedious).

Over time these companies get a better grip on the bare minimum they need from Postgres' internals and file PRs. The goal is for their changes to be an add-on instead of a code fork.

From what I understand, Postgres team rarely has any vested interest in being antagonistic to these companies. Google's business model pushes them toward being antagonistic to any such efforts. Which means cliqz is stuck managing a fork forever, and may even run into cat-and-mouse games.

The only way to win is not to play.
Changing the temp on my monitor and making additional adjustments to my workspace helped. However, thank you for the suggestion. I had previously known this as a mac only software.
That's not entirely true. Adding too much discomfort to users reduces security by encouraging people to workaround or otherwise undermine the system. Many of the best security practices ideally make doing the secure thing easy.

When this is not possible you have to try to at least limit the discomfort caused and make it resistant to subversion by even trusted individuals.

1) Wage floors (this is a problem in some parts of our industry. Game development, for instance. Maybe in other tech related fields like sysadmins? I'm less familiar.)

2) Healthcare benefits

3) Negotiating better IP control. Side projects, open source, etc. are locked down at various companies. There was a front page story about this today.

4) Better treatment for oncall. I know folks who have had to work for 17 consecutive hours for an incident and got nothing.

5) Better treatment for crunch -- tech workers in games have this particularly bad, but it's not limited to just that industry.

6) More control over how the company outsources/contracts with workers

7) All sorts of other side benefits that could be collectively funded -- union libraries, training, networks, publications, resources for new professionals, discounts on union developed software, etc.

8) Parental leave, sick time, and other basic benefits

9) Ensure and oversee processes to protect people who end up on the public stage. If you believe cancel culture is a thing, maybe having a union rep on hand and an established process for managing firings would be in your best interest.

10) Forced arbitration is another thing I'd consider talking with a union about.

11) Having a union rep on hand for HR proceedings

Does doing something seriously evil necessarily imply secrecy?

I am thinking it might but I am not exactly sure why I think this.

Ae there examples of evil things (known to be evil at their time) done in a widely public way?

On the other hand, the converse is not true; this is far more straighforward: something secret is not necessarily evil

In any case I have decided that I have to be EXTRA SUPER cautious that I am not complicity engaging in evil behavior whenever someone asks me to keep something secret.

I don't think that secrecy is quite the same as privacy (not sure as to why), they are just very similar.
You should not spend the money of people who died intestate in a way that many would have opposed. A less divisive cause such as reducing the Swedish government debt or helping the poor would be preferable. People who are alive can donate to DQST.

Surely that was exactly the point of that lesson: sometimes you have to guess. I'd say it's a pretty good lesson to learn that sometimes you need to guess, and how to visualize and imagine what different amounts of something look like. What does 10 hats look like versus 100 hats?

Believe me, there's no shortage of counting on Sesame Street, so the fact they detour into guessing once or twice isn't a bad thing.
The deterioration of the term "human right" really makes me sad for the future.

A human right is something to kill and die for. If someone breaks into your home, you ought to defend yourself. If a government is censoring you, you are justified in civil war to defend your rights.

But now "human rights" are political speech for "something I want". I want free housing and medical care and internet access, so those things must be human rights.

And to be clear, those are great things. Being able to provide medical care to people is wonderful. But that does not make it a human right.
Oh definitely, but at least you're not completely shut out.

> But that's how I read that article

> Personally, I put a lot more trust in Wikileaks and Assange

Yes, that's exactly what I said. You are openly admitting to believing things either with no evidence, or significant evidence suggesting it's not true.

You let your emotions guide your critical thinking. You believe these things because you want to, not because they make the more objective, logical sense. You "trust" people more, or something "sounds" right to you.

And people here are claiming you aren't stupid for doing so, I disagree. I know guys making 500k that will talk your ear off about 9/11 and Seth Rich if you let them. They are idiots for doing so.

You either make decisions on fact-based reality, or you don't.
Sadly, a lot of people's interests (or their interests combined with their lack of ability, connections, etc) don't put enough food on the table.

"Forget about the rest of the world" isn't helpful if someone has a family to support, or even themselves. It is pretty privileged to think everyone can choose to only work in a field of their choosing... I don't know if many janitors have an 'interest' in cleaning toilets... they have an interest in supporting themselves.

I have always appreciated Mike Rowe's views on work and this idea... it is ok to just work to make money, and find meaning in other parts of your life.
I doubt this is a bug; a similar feature has been available in the app sandbox for a while.
>In theory the bank is not allowed to fall below a certain reserve threshold because they would be too fragile towards bank-runs.

This is not true in reality. The only reserve requirements on financial institutions are on household deposits, and it's peace-of-mind that if 10% of Joe Public depositors show up one day demanding their money the bank won't have to deny.

Functionally there are zero reserve requirements on the vast major of financial institution assets. It's been a long time since the banks have been anywhere near reserve constrained. Many central banks don't even have reserve ratios (like mine in Canada).

Sure this stuff is complicated, but you can literally look it up on Wikipedia. The econ 102 money-multiplier model of deposits is not how modern banking works.

>It is an organized method by which the Fed facilitates regulation dodging for the financial sector.

This is borderline conspiracy theorizing, and it's kind of sad that people blindly accept it.
I'm very much for pro-fact-based drug education. Not just for THC, but for the most common things that folks can come into contact with. No scare tactics, just answering questions like what happens to one's body, what "high" feels like, realistic methods of ingestion, and benefits.

Unfortunately, the greater public - the government at least - hasn't been so keen on such things because the focus is more on keeping drugs a scary evil. Even current drug education is such, though thankfully it isn't so "Drugs are bad, mkay?" as it was during the 'just say no' heydays in the 80's and 90's.

Does the subway map graphing technique of placing overlapping lines adjacent to each other have a name?

A while back I was graphing multiple time-series with discrete times and values, but I got frustrated by how illegible the overlapping sections were. I tried to find a subway-map-style algorithm to solve the issue, but didn’t really know what to search for.

I imagine the algorithm itself is relatively complex. Minimizing the number of crossovers is almost certainly NP hard.

Make absolutely does not understand all the scenarios for rebuild, and go build has much more complicated logic than that. For one, it's content-based not mtime-based. For another, a command needs rebuild if any of its dependencies change, not just its own source file. Make absolutely does not get that right for Go.
Not sure what you mean. I don’t think there will be any api wars; likely providers will support tooling that can talk to their apis. This is currently the case for Terraform where different cloud officially support the tf modules. If they start supporting Pulumi, that would be when I would be comfortable switching to the tool.
It's not the size of the group, it's whether they hold arbitrary power over others.
It's actually measured as an average over a two-week period. Unsurprisingly, lending and borrowing activity is highest on the last day of the measurement period.

Generally speaking, banks try to maintain a steady reserve ratio over the whole period, but there's some wiggle room to play it a little loose and just borrow a lot on the last 1 or 2 days of the measurement period.

Source: I used to work at the Fed and studied these patterns.
Banks don't actually need money to lend money. They just create a loaned amount credit in one account and a corresponding asset consisting of a future revenue stream on the other side.

The cash reserve is just a collateral against the risk, needed to stabilize public trust they will not default at the slightest ill wind.

What you cited as the whole idea of capitalism is actually the whole idea of trade, which existed long before capitalism. The idea of capitalism is that the profits brought in by one's assets and labor can be reinvested in more assets or rented labor, which further increases the inflow of money as long as there is unmet market demand for whatever it is that you're doing.

Likewise, building yourself a cabin in the woods is not a capitalist enterprise unless you plan on renting out that cabin and using the proceeds to build more cabins.

One must know what "astroturfing, shiling, brigading" are to follow that rule. As such, astroturfing is the labor in putting fake grass down. Shiling, I'm guessing is giving the money item, a shilling, to someone. Brigading, I guess is starting a brigade. My point is that making up, or using new words(not in the dictionary) and using them in a guideline without defining them, nullifies the rule to most of the populous. Also, dang is super responsive to HN comments that he finds incongruent with the rules. He'll be here shortly to chastise OP and me.

"Fairness" in that sort of political context is rarely about fairness as it would be in real life interactions, but about allowing entrenched interests (or special interest groups in general) being artificially propped up by their political connections.
I had hoped that when I said "drive there for the day" that it would be a clear indication that Mexico was not your final destination, it was a temporary stop on your way to your final destination to avoid being flagged by US commercial airlines, but apparently not.

As others have pointed out, one can simply drive into Mexico or Canada for a day trip quite easily. After that you could hop on a plane there.
Which means that you're taking as the neutral stance to not have a concern with arbitrary detention of asylum seekers.

I feel like theory helped me find the right way to label certain sounds/harmonies and organize/internalize them in a way that made sense to me. I don't think I could have figured that out on my own; however, I also had friends that went to music school, so it's possible I could have just sponged off of their learning.
The Curious Case of the Table-Locking Update Query
The only time anything like this came close was a freak storm in 1953 as far as I know - 2000 dead in the Netherlands (also 200 dead in UK). Since then sea defenses have been improved by a huge factor, nothing was left to chance. I just don't see the kind of freak event that can cause this (and why would a freak storm hit the Randstad and not New York / London / San Francisco ?). If you're talking about gradual sea level rise doing this, well the current pace is 3.8 mm rise a year. Even if the rate doubles (is this likely?) we're still under one meter in 100 years. I wouldn't run away to Sweden just yet but hey it's a free country! P.S the sea level rise pace around Netherlands is even lower than the rest of the world currently.
This article turned out to be a lot more contentious on here than I would have expected.

Of course, you could gain infinite karma votes on here just by posting his article every day, but he has some interesting things to add to this article.

Levine is always also a little cynical.

One problem I've had that I can easily follow my interests and ignore external validation or doing what others think is best. The problem is I've found often that 10 years later I realized I didn't see the bigger picture and should have done other things. Often following your natural passion takes you into a suboptimal path and you should have just made money & friends like everyone else.
