Almost all restructurings (Chapter 11 Bankruptcy) results in the share price dropping to $0.

The bondholders will benefit from this. But its extremely unlikely for shareholders to benefit. This is a company with $17+ Billion in debt, gaining +$1 Billion from a stock offering won't create any value for the shareholders.

---------

Lets do another perspective: If a $1 Billion loan would have fixed the Hertz company, then the company wouldn't need to go bankrupt. The bankers would have simply provided the company another $1 Billion in loans.
Menus in Windows had already lost the accelerator key decorations by default well before the Ribbon (by almost a decade at that point). The Ribbon didn't cause the loss of always visible accelerator key UI, the Ribbon was built when accelerator key UI was already lost for being too noisy.

> unfortunately, the market isn’t willing to pay for high-quality games.

Because they've been repeatedly abused by free-to-play nonsense. Take out the IAPs and forced ads entirely and watch game quantity drop[0] while quality skyrockets. Customers might still be willing to buy back in, if all trust hasn't been eroded already.

[0]: Normally that's not a thing you want from a game/entertainment storefront, but I think the App Store (and Steam) is actually at the point where it would benefit from fewer games. Consumer confidence is at an all-time low.
It does come with a slow-ish emulator.
Do you really think Zuck reads HackerNews comments?
Icahn got in in 2014 when the stock price was in the $50-100/share range, he could have been less-dead on the deal if he hit dumb luck timing. Shares are still going to 0, this is a new offering on a company in bankruptcy court and deep debt and structural problems. Maybe these robinhood jokers will survive grabbing the third rail barehanded but that doesn’t make them smart, it just makes them lucky idiots.
I don't follow. That's literally what I said.

It's rhetorical. There is a way to interpret what people ask of Zuckerberg with this line of thought & probably where there is inaction.
It's a quote said in 1967 by Miami police Chief Walter Headley who was talking about how he will respond to protests against the police. For context, he also said he was against "young hoodlums, from 15 to 21, who have taken advantage of the civil rights campaign. ... We don't mind being accused of police brutality"

The Chief got the phrase from the guy who used firehoses and dogs against children during the Birmingham, AL protests.
I mean, I appreciate talking about the roots of ideas but everything is just an iteration on old ideas and these new iterations mean something to the people and cultures that iterate on them. To say that he said it in a way "digestible to western audiences" is basically to compliment him and say "he spoke in a way that meant something to a new generation of people with new experiences"
This reminds me of a domestic quarrrel when we were searching for a dishwasher. She wanted a stainless steel automatic dishwasher with four speeds and selectble wash cycles. She also requested the fully integrated digital touch control panel with fuzzy logic modulated jets and multiple racks with fold down tines.

I felt it would be sacrilegious to waste money on these extras — just to clean the dinnerware. Why do you think God gave us tounges? She is now living with an applance salesman.
> I mean, before Steam this was basically the state of gaming. No community, limited features, spotty performance.

That makes no sense. Before Steam there were many gaming online communities, all games were native and were marvels of technology for the time, etc.

> There is no reason a platform like Stadia can't work in the future as these things get better.

Stadia does not run games on web tech. Quite the opposite. They are native Linux Vulkan binaries.

> you're already doing that

There is a big difference between downloading a game once vs every time.

If you mention offline web storage, that is exactly the same solution as Steam and others do. A good example of the web reinventing the wheel.

> consume your entire PS4 drive with a single game

Not the case with a PC with terabytes of space.

Not the case with Steam/PC.
> We are starting to see more cross platform support for games between PS4, XBO, and PC. But older games won't ever support cross platform between Windows, OSX, and Nix.

That has nothing to do with technology. It is a matter of licensing, finances and support.

The overwhelming majority of games use engines which target all platforms, from PC to mobile to console.

> A browser port could easily change that.

No, because it has nothing to do with technical issues.

I have never claimed it is an issue.

A new implementation does not imply a better implementation.

I'm not sure your assumption here is correct.
Oh man, I would love this. It's the same for Swift (maybe even worse, given the proliferation of versions over just a few years). But those sorts of things aren't generally automated on SO. They're done manually by volunteers. I did some for a while, and it's quite tiresome.
> Paypal rejected the receipts (I forget the reason)

This reminds me of when PayPal told me I needed to send them a scan of my drivers license, then rejected it as fake. ???

The upside is that my account isn't allowed to hold a balance, and they transfer any funds immediately to my bank, which... I dunno that seems like my account has been improved?

Indeed -- here is some additional context that the article doesn't provide:

The fired employee Tweeted today:

>In the interest of transparency, I was let go for calling out an employee’s inaction here on Twitter. I stand by what I said. They didn’t give me the chance to quit [0]

He then specifically cited [1] the Tweet in question that was the cause:

>I asked @Vjeux to follow @reactjs's lead and add a statement of support to Recoil's docs and he privately refused, claiming open source shouldn't be political.

>Intentionally not making a statement is already political. Consider that next time you think of Recoil. [2]

This is specifically targeting an individual front-end engineer at FB, which in my own estimation crosses the line from criticism of executives or general policy, to specifically trying to instigate public outrage against a co-worker. If such actions were directed at me, I would definitely consider it as contributing to a hostile work environment. It all strikes me as a modern-day example of "Havel's greengrocer" [3].

Ask HN: Why have login forms been split into two steps?
It seems to me that it would make the most sense to have the login and password field exposed on the same step. Many sites will separate email address from password -- why is this done? What is the benefit? It breaks autofill from a browser password manager extension (like 1Password) which seems like an antipattern.

> What measure of proof do you require?

At least some before I label someone a racist. Like I said he might be racist but I didn’t see anything to label him that.

Just because he is a white cop pulling over a black driver Doesn’t make him racist. If everything was the exact same but the cop was black would you label him a racist or just a dickhead cop?

I said many times I’m not ok with the stop, but based on the stop and questions I was clearly a bias of being rental/out of towner (which is wrong too, but doesn’t make someone a racist)

Forget what proof I need, what did you see that makes him a racist? You think he has never stopped a white person for no good reason and asked them similar questions (Maybe, but I doubt it)?
postgres works great for `n` in ranges in excess of (10k, 10B, 1k) at least, which not many would consider small.

The only real justification I've heard is postgres' story on replication still lags mysql, and the write amplification bit which they've done a lot of work on for pg13 (see [0])

Even for many very large companies I've seen, noSQL databases are mostly used as caches that can afford to be delayed or a bit out of sync, not as the database of record.

> The fact that Hertz is up like 200% since the beginning of the month means that the traders are, in fact, rational.

You aren't factoring in time here... just because a stock has gone up over a specific period of time doesn't mean everyone who bought the stock did the right thing. What if the price collapses tomorrow?

Also, a good outcome for an action doesn't mean taking it was rational. If I place my life savings on black in a game of roulette, there is an 9/19 chance that I double my money. If I do, it doesn't mean I was rational to make that bet. It means I was lucky.
Because of my special circumstances and the war in my country, I could not enroll in any university, when I heard about our university I felt joy and hope, and finally, I can study, now the study is.

The thing I like about macOS over Windows when it comes to the terminal is that it's a native part of macOS and I don't have to monkey around with as many things. On my Macs, things aren't that much different compared to when I'm working on my Ubuntu server.

I don't feel the same using WSL. It's not a seamless experience. Also, I've never found a terminal emulator I enjoy using on Windows. Maybe it's still way too early, but even the new Windows Terminal left me less than impressed.

@diminish - We have some stats related to security scanning which we cover in our security trends report (https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/04/02/security-trends-in-...). It is a very interesting read and would like to hear your feedback. We also did a survey of fuzzing usage the highlights are here (https://about.gitlab.com/direction/secure/fuzz-testing/fuzz-...). We are excited about bringing Peach Tech and Fuzzit into GitLab as we are going to be able to address a big pain point for adoption of fuzzing (integration into CI).

> That very much depends on your location. High tourism locations will often have lots of junk food places.

This I don't agree, I was in a backwhole and all I got was a supermarket and fast food. Sure I could take the raw veg, but it was cheaper to get the TV dinners.

Maybe you know your area better to find them but are they known by all, known enough to be advertised to tourists/visitors ?

> Here's the problem though: portion sizes are _enormous_

This is a result.. Not really a cause, I fully agree with you the portions are alien for me, but they didn't decide on those portions from nowhere.

> Ingredient availability varies a lot
> Even farmer's markets

This is both true and the problem. The fact you need to say that sometimes Farmers markets can handle you meats, and depending on what supermarket you go to you can get good veggie.. It's strange from an EU POV.

We have EU standards on all food trades, the UK is leaving the EU based on a few lies about the standards. But it actually is standing to prove that hey : 'Don't eat shit'.

Both peaks and lows are not that predictable or regular.
A storm at night will drive prices down because of wind turbines. That can be predicted days in advance but it requires access to weather forecasts.

Certain events such a sport games or TV shows could drive the price up. That could be predicted but requires more than a timer.

For a heat pump from air the efficiency depends a lot on the outside temperature. So the best time to run it might not be when electricity is cheapest.

> Science is not a faith based system

False. If you did not do the study/experiment yourself, you are putting your faith in scientists that did. This is philosophically equivalent to someone putting their faith in, say a monk, or a pastor.

If you go one level deeper, the monk might say, 'do X penance for Y years to verify Z claim', then it's up to you whether you want to follow that route or not. Until then, his claim is not unfalsifiable, like many skeptics claim.

Even for mundane day-to-day claims, 'science', as commonly understood, falls short.

e.g. Science cannot prove to me that a mango tastes sweet, without putting the condition that I must taste it. The only 'proof' it can provide is 'Taste it and see for yourself'. If I say, 'I will only taste it AFTER you prove it is sweet', then nothing will happen. Because Taste is subjective. Yet, everyone, 'miraculously' is able to come to a consensus.

There are truths that are individually/subjectively verifiable, but collectively/objectively unverifiable.

The denigration of the former type of truths is something armchair scientists must avoid. Real scientists never denigrate them.
Your stance seems to be "don't release many people at all."

You should then also oppose bail. So that the people you believe dangerous can't just "buy" their way out.

Many people would disagree with you on the danger level, but I'm not sure why you're making an argument against people complaining about the concept of bail.

You dont have to encourage the behavior. You can discourage it. But at the end of the day, it's their money, and it's not causing harm to society or to anyone else directly. In a society that's willing to accept gambling and state run lotteries, this level of personal risk taking is not remotely near the level our society seems acceptable. And, they could actually be right in the end, if by providing liquidity they help the company avoid onerous bailout loans, and covid lifts up sooner rather than later, they could end up with Hertz able to make a strong recovery. Or they could lose their money. But it's their money.

The Sets experiment (heterogeneous tabs for nearly every Windows title bar) from the Windows team was really cool. I was sad that I was never in one of the Insider cohorts to directly test it.

It's unfortunate their testing feedback decided not to move forward with it, and that also the engineering complexities that happened because Edge switched to Chromium and would no longer be able to maintain some of the things Sets relied upon.

> This is the intended behavior.

You are misunderstanding. I am not talking about sending SMSs from the SIM to the outside world. That would indeed open you up to spoofing and all kinds of abuse.

I am talking about the the other way around. I have a message from the outside world (whether received through a Twilio number but handed to my own application for processing so Twilio's context of the original sending number is lost, or from a different source like Slack or Telegram) and want to send it off to a SIM, using an arbitrary sender number to distinguish between conversations. This fails too, despite there not being any obvious abuse that I can think of.

Sorry, I should have had a clearer thesis:

I'm not seeing anyone proposing to explain the impact, or what they have done to offset any impact they perceive it is having on themselves.

The other person who replied to me pointed out that it's not fair for me to assume folks haven't already tried a lot - so that's fair. I'll go back to:

I'm not seeing the discussion here being about the results or the impact, except to lament their own personal woes, and to hypothesize things like a coming age of polygamy.

I'll come with some depth when others do, but I guess it's fair that I should probably have not bothered commenting in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, I believe that you overcame challenges. We all have. I bet 90% of your dating experience is determined by how you were born, not how you have chosen to behave. Your main advice is "be tall, be white." Your post follow the classic formula:

BRO. Bro. Physical attractiveness doesn't matter. I may be a [6'1" white guy / mid-20s female in a large city] but I can confidently tell you that it's entirely possible to be wildly successful on dating sites if you're ugly. It's all about your personality and how funny you are and how kind of a human being you are. You know what's really unattractive? Your INSECURITIES. If you could just be confident then people would be swarming your profile with unsolicted visits and date offers.

I knew this one guy in high school who looked like a shorter and Indian-looking Danny DeVito with tertiary syphillis but he had an amazing demeanor so he bedded one different girl a month every month. Oh what about the other 50 ugly Indian guys? I dunno I only remember this one. I'm sure they must have been successful too.

What kind of signal do you have in mind?

It suggests some customers are willing to pay a lower price than other customers. That's not really a surprise, but the numbers are data.

So is the signal that you should lower your price for everyone to something in between, depriving some customers of a service in their happy price range, so that you end up with lower revenue and lose a few more customers as well, but at least you keep a reputation for consistency?
