If it's a bad bet for the bank, that just means it is a bad bet on average and right now. The thing is, a student can know a lot more about themselves than the bank can. A student can make a bet with an extremely high expected return, that the bank would be unable to appropriately risk-price.

The problem with the current system, is we don't force the students to understand the price of the risk. The problem with making them normal loans is that the bank is unable to accurately price the risk. There are middle grounds, but arguments from the extremes seem to carry better.
My friends who I've known since childhood are like a family to me. Unfortunately they like to drink and do drugs for recreation and I don't want to do that anymore. It's a big part of the rituals of the group and I'm not really ready to move on. I still love all of my friends and I don't think they are bad people for what they do, it's just not for me anymore. It works for them and they are still successful but I enjoy clean living.

Ever since I started feeling that disconnect with the group I have been deeply unhappy. I don't know where to start. Do I try and take them with me? Do I try and find a new community? How do I do find a new community?
Zoom clearly does not give give a shit about privacy or security (or didn't, until they started getting bad press for it) which is why they route US traffic through China and also made wardialing stupidly easy. Not giving a shit about privacy and security early on makes it no different from tons of companies with US-born CEOs, like Facebook.

There's a really simple explanation, but you're so fixated on the China thing that you can't see it.
I assume it means: You don't care about your credit score once you have a certain amount of money, because the limits of a bad score do not really impact you:

- Not approved for a car/house/boat loan? Sell some investments and pay cash.
- Turned down for a credit card? Get a secured card, or even a pre-paid card. Or carry cash.
- Turned down for a cell phone plan? Buy prepaid.
Part of the challenge of competing, is that it's so easy for Google to adopt good features from other search engines.

I'm not sure what to call these, but you know the rich results Google searches provide these days? Like showing the definition of a word, or a snippet of data from Wikipedia off to the side of the main search results. It's a useful feature, and it was first developed by DuckDuckGo not Google. But it didn't matter, because it was so easy for Google to adopt a feature like that into their own product.
It's more complicated then this:

They indeed tend to not by thinks on rates, so not to much "uplift" in your scores.

People which are wealthy tend to also try to get higher credits (for it to be worth it) and buy more
expensive thinks so if they messup it's often much more expensive for banks.

Not all people can handle money so there are a bunch of people which will never stay wealthy. Combined with the point above => higher rise.

Some care less for penalties when paying late and might "optimize" payments in ways which are not always mean on time/good for the score.

Lastly there are a bunch of wealthy people which optimized there business so that they only earn as much money as they need. They can always increase it but the banks can't trust this so the only see a person which might have problems paying back. (Note that not all of this people do illegal or unmoralic practices, some just only work as much as they need and not any bit more).

Lastly there is a simple question:

What does it mean if a rich/wealthy person _needs_ a credit?

(Btw. it's a different matter if it's not a private credit but for a company.)
I'll be the first in line to say that, in general, Linux/OSS-centric companies never get this right.

But this is just such a strange thing to say:

"System76 if you're reading this, please hire a new design team that is on par with Apple, Google, IBM, etc. and a new industrial design team that has competence at the level of Bang & Olufsen, Apple, Braun, etc."

That is not only absurdly expensive, it disregards the actual situation: open source work in general suffers from a lack of designers willing to be involved. If this was a simple thing to do, I'd wager System76 would have already done it.

On a personal note, I'd much rather they get to a point where they're fashioning their own hardware... otherwise I'm staying on a Macbook, because I'm not going back to plastic shells. The software design can wait, it's not like it hasn't already done so for years.
Thank you, appreciate the feedback. We'll take a look at slimming that down.
This is 10 years old! The GPU the benchmarks run on has 480 cores, and modern GPUs have >5000, and the available memory has gone from 1.5GB to 32GB.

I'd love to see these numbers run with a modern GPU.
There are certainly public platforms to voice opinions, but they are just as certainly drowned out by or hidden from the rest of the platforms.

Independent, peer to peer social media, for example, “dark web”, or just plain old WWW / Gopher /forums discovered without the private search platforms.

On one level, it isn’t that there aren’t public platforms, it’s that the market for public speech is a niche market that isn’t really bought into by the public.
> > "Good credit is for poor people" - words of a wealthy friend.

By "poor" he likely means anyone who has to borrow for anything, including a home (60% of homeowners) or auto purchase (44% of individuals). So basically just about anyone who has to work for a living.

He probably also means "worrying about credit", vs "using credit as a financial optimization tool"

EDIT: changed "households" to "homeowners". 65% of Americans are homeowners, which means 65% * 60% = 39% of Americans have mortgage debt. Note that credit score matters a lot for those who rent also, since many of them are saving for a down payment for a mortgage, and most landlords require a credit report if you hope to rent their properties.
Ask HN: What is the percentage of people interested in embedded systems here?
I am keep posting things about embedded systems / electronics sometimes by using a throw a way accounts.

I also searched some key words and seen not much people answering questions around those topics.

What is the main reason? Any advice?
I know a few people with similar histories of civil disobedience who now work at FAANG companies. I would wait for them to bring it up.

FWIW, I'd be proud to work with you.
In that case you simply sell the call, instead of exercising (assigning) it. I switched to selling puts instead since then.
> and profit.

I see what you didn't do there :D
Then why does Europe execute much better on infrastructure projects with similar labor costs (and more unionized workers and labor protections) and similar if not stricter environmental regulations?

Seems like corruption is potentially the only big differentiating factor here.
Decent enough problem analysis, but the solutions proposed seem to fall into either the "absolute fluff" category:

> Beauty is not simply some pleasant thing to be considered once we smash the zoning codes. It is the aesthetic force necessary to reach deep into our subconscious and activate our will to live in a new world (which, yes, includes new zoning codes).

or the "proven to be insufficient" category:
> Reconstructing the better part of an industrial society will take decades; and with our present white-collar workforce left utterly directionless, inflated by elite overproduction, and medicated at world-historic levels, sending a million students to Harvard will not, as Andreessen suggests, help spur technological progress. Rather, it is the regeneration of practically-grounded trade schools and state-backed coordination that is needed to retrain a productive workforce.

Trade schools are great and all - but retraining efforts consistently fail when the jobs do not line up with an individual's self-image. Truckers will not line up to be trained as CNAs, no matter how many training programs or jobs are offered and jobs are demanded. Likewise, most white collar workers will not line up to be factory workers.

The essential thing he's missing is that the reason many Americans didn't freak out when Bill Clinton signed the bills which caused these jobs to overseas is the first place - is because the reality of factory jobs is at odds with the American dream of self-determination. Many humans don't like being a cog in the machine, even if it's a steady income. Many children of these manufacturing workers saw the harmful side of those types of jobs, and instead opted for college or service-industry jobs where they focus on developing soft skills and relationships with people. Yes they want good jobs and to not get abused by the gig job industry, but many Americans don't want to go back to being treated as human machinery in factories either. The real thing Americans want is better opportunity to use those skills to start their own businesses, to put their skills and creativity to use. That's part of the reason craft brewing took off so intensely - it's one of the only fields that young people can still break into and differentiate themselves even with limited starting resources.

All that said, I do admit that I was surprised when I saw that the author is just an undergraduate. His naivete is a bit less concerning with that in mind.
Can you give a concrete example how a Bayesian concept provides practical help in ML model training or another ML task?

Want to whet my appetite for your suggestion.
So you're saying to stay away from SVMs, rather than to stay away from this particular tutorial?
> How would you sell me on Pantry vs. AWS S3?

Is this question really appropriate? The developer is sharing a pro bono offering, where does selling anyone on it against a commercial service even come into play?

It looks like a project that must have been fun to make and could be useful for storing non-sensitive data with very little hassle. Long bucket IDs appear to leave little chance for name collision.

If you are building a piece of software that deals with anything remotely like PII or has specific availability requirements, I sincerely hope this is not something you are seriously considering (otherwise, pardon me, I hope I won’t be your user or customer), starting from the fact that you aren’t paying for it and there is no SLA.
Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket. By looking at their interfaces and how they are linked to each other technically, you would think they were made by different companies and hacked together after the fact.

We just moved away from Atlassian to JetBrain's YouTrack. Huuge improvement in usability, system administration, cost.
If you think that's poking holes in the firewall, you should see this javascript stuff that worms itself back over most of your HTTPS connections from countless third-party sites.
Dosing is a thing. There are high dose and low dose influenza vaccines for example. But even then immunity isn't guaranteed, you need neutralizing antibodies to develop as well. Lots of things have to go right to get a sustained safe and effective response which is why vaccines take so long to develop.
Yeah, I wish wasm had more support for pure programming. Of course, state can be constrained, but it's pretty heavyweight.
Maybe you're right. I was simply using examples to question the underlying assumption. You seem to have skipped over that.

That's called "marketing".

From the perspective of understanding the universe, that is nothing. Decent consolation prize though.
Good point re: Asia presence and agree they seem confident + have the balance sheet to back it up.

Overall would just be nice to see weekly splits of revenue from all these companies instead of the vague descriptors we're getting. Would be much easier to project worst case/Q2 that way.
The actual quantum level physics itself is probably running in some nodejs process started by forgotten continuous integration server at someone’s home lab.

Carpenter

1. Work

2. Buy house

2b. Rent house out

2bb. Problem? Fix it with your carpenter skills or trade school buddies (plasterer, electrician, you name it, they know them).

3. Work a few years more

4. Buy second house

5. Get a few more houses.

This is what my carpenter buddies are doing. And I was the smart kid in my class. I guess they have the last laugh, they are all on their second houses now.
So, on these BG checks I always play it safe and let them know that I pled "nolo contendere" to a misdemeanor charge and that the court expunged it, as I have looked and there are still tracks to indicate there was a case.

Of course, "misdemeanor drag racing" isn't anything like theft/riot.

Are your puts covered? How do you mitigate the risk of the stock going up?

I need to learn a lot more before doing this.
Part of the claims process for this settlement was stating that you suffered losses due to the breach.

If they can prove that the data never leaked, then everyone's claim becomes invalid, because you didn't suffer any losses from the breach.
Kids are known viral factories. They tend to have higher viral loads despite not getting as sick. This is one reason we have school breaks in the winter and spring, basically to cut down transmission chains.
It's usually in your best interest to sell the options before they expire as the extrinsic value decays every day. If they expire in the money, they are generally exercised and liquidated at the same time before market close of the expiry date.
Extracting the background from Creatures 2 (1998)
We do even more, we take snapshots as the "Layerfile" runs - this basically lets you merge the memory dump semantics you mention with the interface of Docker.

Also, we monitor which files are read by any step in the process, and let you skip setup chunks that don't need to run (i.e., installing libraries) without needing to micromanage what files you copy into the staging server.
It is not absurdly expensive to hire a design firm to do a project for you. Especially for a company such as System76.

>> That is not only absurdly expensive, it disregards the actual situation: open source work in general suffers from a lack of designers willing to be involved. If this was a simple thing to do, I'd wager System76 would have already done it.

I seriously doubt any statements that claim "if they could, they would have done" when it comes to great design in software or hardware. It essentially boils down to what the leadership thinks - if they think design service/teams are a cost center, forget about it. It will never ever improve. If the founders and the leaders of the company think that design is a core aspect of what they do and it should be part of everything at the company - from letterpads, to building design, to how they write and speak - then there is no way they cannot succeed.

It sounds like you might not be the target market for System76 computers. They're targeting developers with Pop_OS and are doing a fantastic job with that market. Personally, I don't want them to broaden their horizons. There is already Apple if people want to buy a computer like an Apple.

You misunderstand critically that this is not "singing along", it's generating the music and voice. Conditioning on lyrics is optional, and done "unaligned", eg by arbitrarily encoding the lyrics and passing them as additional input.
I think they should for the same reason you point out. The cost of school has gone up due to the endless supply of loan money mixing with demand.

That cost will go waaaaaaay down if the loan money dries up, potentially back to the point where it was when “working your way through college” was possible.
It is in French, can anyone do the fact-checking?
> ${small company with small company sized bank account} if you're reading this, please hire a new design team that is on par with ${list of massive companies with oodles of money} and a new industrial design team that has competence at the level of ${companies that are the best in the world at industrial design and compensate to match}

lol, I'm sure they'd love to, are you offering to pay the salaries?
Management shouldn't care about the stack because that isn't management's job. That's the IT Department's job. The scope of the project is management's job, as is the budget; the friction comes when they want to eat elephant on a dormouse budget, which is a good time for an IT staffer to leave if management is intransigent about refusing to understand trade-offs, but it's also the IT Department's job to explain costs and benefits in a way the non-technical can understand.

If the CEO is the lead developer and the head of IT and the CFO what signs all them checks, that's obviously different, and in that case everyone should probably understand everything. Otherwise, ask yourself how deep management gets into the minutiae of washing the toilets.
The appeals to the settlement you linked are about the appropriate compensation for the plaintiffs, not about whether claimants are eligible.

I'm not sure how one would prove their identify theft was specifically due to Equifax's data breach even if the leaked data were available, so I don't understand that that could be a condition for a claim to be valid. My interpretation is that your claim is valid if you had data with Equifax and you subsequently spent time or money establishing credit monitoring or identity theft resolution.

If there's more to it than that, and Equifax has arranged the settlement such that a claimant has to somehow prove the source of their identity theft was Equifax, then yes, I agree even more strongly with the "Equifax bad" narrative you decried upstream. That would be impossible to prove, even if the data did surface.
Yeah that's generally the main benefit. AIOs let you build in smaller cases without too much hassle. (Although when you go down to really tiny small form factor cases often you have to use super low profile air coolers again because there's no room for the AIO radiator)
no, it means you dangle boatloads of potential fees and illusions of assets under management in front of the banker's eyes, like trump did with deutsche bank, and then watch the loans spew forth unencumbered by a silly third-party "score".
It's anonymized in the sense that you don't know who it will be sold to and what they will do with it.

In all seriousness, this is a point GDPR struggles with. It's really hard to properly define what constitutes personal data.
Hobbies? Of course, particularly in entertainment software. It shows if you have a unique perspective that could be advantageous to the creative process.

I would mention my family for any professional prediction because it is a guiding factor; in five years, I see myself continuing to be a product lead and hopefully working with my daughters on an independent project of their own.

I work in entertainment software, in British Columbia; overtime is normal, working 40h a week or less is not. The BC NDP stripped tech workers of their basic employment rights, around two decades ago; among those rights removed was any right to overtime compensation.

I can't work in the USA _easily_ and I would _prefer_ not to; I have no interest in raising my kids there. But I've worked from home for five years and so I don't see why I should have to relocate. :P

If you go 100k in debt to get a job that pays the same as one you could have only gone 10k in debt for, it's probably because you like doing that better.

Some people would way rather be an elementary school teacher than an electrician and that's fine.
I suppose the cost of the loan to exercise the option would be equal to the difference between that and selling the option?
Approval Workflows with GitHub Actions
In general good "experienced professional programmers" don't have one "tool of choice" but their tool of choice varies by what they're doing. I would choose Go for a lot of things, but not for everything.
I think you'd be a great fit for a role that suits your disposition for social justice. It's hard to stand up and take personal risks as you have. Every FAANG company has its own corporate social responsibility agenda. Working with them would help you channel that energy while benefiting the company. I assume you're not applying for a position doing that, though.

Companies have a growing problem with employee activism. Consider offering to sign a contract that you will not use your position to organize or pursue social or political activism of any kind without the explicit consent of management. Explain how you will separate your personal interests with those at work and offer to legally commit to it.

Heads up, the Safire Project has solved plasma fusion and started commercialization. See https://aureon.ca/

<SAFIRE can create, control, contain, sustain, and repeat-at-will any number of plasma regimes. No other technology in the world can do this.

Seven years of empirical testing has resulted in a unique patented stable spherical "SAFIRE" plasma reactor. AUREON ENERGY LTD. will commercialize the SAFIRE technology into three key markets:

> clean energy production
> heating
> remediation of nuclear waste

Each market in itself represents a trillion dollar industry over the next ten years. AUREON ENERGY is currently engaging investors to commercialize the technology.

I wonder if there's money to be made in selling a search engine to a government (of a country that cares about free speech, obviously). Or to look it the other way, if there is a job to be had by marketing the idea/yourself to a government agency.

And the government might do it to sell goodwill to the users, imagine having "This search engine is provided to you by Elbonia. Click here to learn more about Elbonia. Click here to find flights to Elbonia" at the bottom of every search result page.
