> What does this mean?

Since the company has filed for insolvency the shares can no longer be traded.

> Is it guaranteed that shares of a company that files for insolvency are worth 0?

When a company files for insolvency it means the companies total liabilities are greater than the total assets.

And when this happens the company is handed over to a liquidator and they then decide how to handle the companies future.

What the liquidator normally does is try to sell the company or parts of the company to other third parties.

With the proceeds of that sale they then pay back the debt.

Then if any money is left over they split that money between the shareholders.

But naturally since the debts are greater than the assets the shareholders will get very little of their original investment back.

Since the shareholders are last in the line for the money they tend to lose the most.

But it worked. Look at how easily we can be manipulated once we're told we're under attack by a foreign power. Propaganda works.

James Comey knew this just as well as Senator McCarthy did. They didn't even need to change the protagonist.
There is so much to talk about with Russia though.

a) Widespread evidence not just from US but from UK and EU of efforts to interfere in elections and referenda e.g. Brexit.

b) State sponsored propaganda via social networks which even as recent as last week was having to be removed.

c) Continued meetings between Trump and Putin where only translators are present i.e. no State Dept representatives.

d) 20+ years of Trump Organization taking loans from Russian oligarchs via Bayrock.
Depends on who the recipient is.
For example you putt those pieces like 24 hours (depends on thickness) before measuring in that room, the piece should have from it's core to the edges the same temperature.

Airflow inhibits a precise measurement, imagine you putt something in that room that changes the airflow just a bit, so more warm air from the ceiling hit's one side of the piece.

Always when you try to measure something, no outer energies should interfere (no temperature change and no force like airflow or even driving cars outside of the building), it could even be, that the airflow creates vibrations in the piece, like rolling cars do.

If some of the longer logic chains you may put in a cell or series of cells were remotely readable, that might help.
Why are you repeating the same thing over and over while ignoring the argument given?

Oh well, here, let's repeat it. "There's nothing illogical about describing as looters and rioters a group of people who break windows, steal from shops, set buildings and cars on fire."

You can extend the same argument to have racist undertones by including all black people for example because there are some criminals among them. Racism is bad not because it is racism but rather because it is yet another instance of prejudice and generalization.
Victor Davis Hanson says a lot of things, including that Iraq II was a good idea - he was a minor but still fairly significant public relations voice in the neoconservative bloc that pushed that war into existence, to the enormous detriment of US interests in the Middle East and worldwide.

As a classicist he's tolerable, if no more than that; in any century where the years count up instead of down, the man seems entirely at sea.

Ask HN: POJO with Setter Logic or Not?
Hi

I'm continuously fighting with my team manager over design decision for some Java code.
I've implemented a utility library that can be reused in multiple projects, handling generic cases as well as offering the flexibility to configure it fine-grained.

Now, for some POJO classes, I've preferred to use some logic in the setters, since the ones who are integrating this library don't have to write their own verification on valid/invalid parameters (think of it like setters with defined contracts).

Of course, this type of design was rejected since it doesn't adhere with POJO design, but on the other hand, I sustain that DRY and testing once with attention is better than spawn code duplicates and trying to write logic that might broken easily.

What do you thing about it?

I find the metaphor of a "call" in Skype or Google Meet easier to use for chats with relatives than the metaphor of a "meeting". The latter one works great in a business setting, when you "schedule a meeting" and post its details to Slack, or email them, or stick them in a calendar; but when you want an immediate one-on-one chat, it's so much easier to "call" a person.

Zoom weirds me out in that in order to chat with someone you need to "create a meeting", then copy the meeting url/id, and send it via a different channel to the person you want to chat with.
Yeah, really annoying ^^

I'm not sure why that rules out the idea that people are averse to design changes. For one thing, it's just one piece of anecdata. For another, just because someone thinks Design A looks newer doesn't mean that they wouldn't prefer to keep using Design B if they were already used to it. Anyway, even if we accept that people are generally averse to changes, that doesn't imply that all criticism of a redesign should be dismissed as aversion to change.

I can't think of many instances of someone sharing a "controversial" opinion where they weren't just regurgitating tired old arguments that are trivially discredited. The easy response is: well if they're trivially rebutted, why not just rebut them?

That works once. Twice. Twenty times. It doesn't take long before these "just raising the controversy" comments overwhelm sincere and thought-provoking discussion. A rhetorical DDoS/DoS works the same way a technological one does.

There are a few small, well-moderated communities/outlets where people have gone a level or two past propaganda and stereotypes, but they come into the discussion with an open mind. I can at least feel like, if I found the right angle, I might persuade them toward my viewpoint.

And most importantly: people come into those spaces knowing what to expect. I expect to see some serious discussion over whether or not I deserve equal rights, for example, but I don't feel like it's futile the way I do with people coming in with a roster of thought-terminating cliches and propaganda as a cover for hate.

I don't understand what the distinction between free speech and the 1st amendment has to do with your point (which I don't think you've explicitly stated, so I'm left guessing). Both state and non-state suppression of gay advocacy would/did impede gay advocacy, just as it today impedes racist ideas, so despite the tone of your post, you don't actually disagree with that? More importantly

> Traditionally free speech was a 1st amendment issue. [..] I do wish we'd return to the narrower interpretation as being a 1st amendment issue

I strongly disagree. The 1st amendment shields speech from state suppression, but that is not remotely the only threat to free speech - as your example of the guys that got beaten up shows. While the line where people's reactions to speech can be labeled "against free speech" is very blurry, claiming it's only a free speech issue if the government is involved is absurd. I'm sure if Visa and MasterCard refused to do business with anyone that voiced pro-LGBT views, or if social media giants censored those views, you'd agree their ability to speak freely was being limited - the definition of a "free speech" issue.

Scott said that the NYT was going to publish a piece containing his real name, so he deleted his blog (slate star codex) which at this is point famous.

Plot twist: Scott's real name has been easily findable for at least a year, based on his own words. So I don't understand why he went full nuclear.

It's also an assumption by everybody that the NYT article was going to be a hit piece, even though there's no evidence of that whatsoever. It was simply going to contain his real name. Scott didn't want that. Therefore Scott deleted his entire 5-8 year history because the big bad NYT was going to do something that Scott didn't like that totally wouldn't impact his life anyway.

Look, I'm a big proponent of anonymity. Heck, I was pseudonymous for years. Sometimes there are valid reasons. But often, it becomes a perpetual thing of "I'm doing this for the sake of doing it, not because people are out to get me."

Scott also recently published a piece raising questions about racism (a good piece, worth reading, but nonetheless ruffled some feathers). So this is possibly a well-timed deflection move.
Thanks for the info, tbh you just validated my decision not to buy it. My 2015 iMac 5k has become really loud since the Catalina update when running an external display, even after replacing the fan and power unit.

I don't even mind a little noise, but when I can hear it with noise cancelling headphones it's problem!
If there's one lesson to be drawn from the decade of Google just past, it's that they do not see a diverse web uncontrolled by large actors as beneficial to them. They want the web controlled by a big actor which is them.

"We have to silo things so no one else will" is an excuse for bad behavior, and a risible one at that. If Google wanted a web that couldn't be siloed, they have the money and brains to build that. They choose to build silos instead.

I’m drawing a blank on the name of the show... there’s a series on either Netflix or Prime Video where a retired high ranking FBI officer walks the viewers through a bunch of crazy cases. The majority of them are foreign intelligence related. I think it’s meant as some kind of pro-FBI pro-American low key propaganda.

Anyway, as a Canadian, one of my key takeaways from watching it is that it doesn’t matter what country you’re in, nor your nationality, nor the nation where you’re committing crimes; if the FBI or similar large agency decides to target you, you’re going to at a minimum have a really bad time, and very potentially end up getting a free trip to the US to spend time in jail, even if you’ve never stepped foot in the country before.

The show has this “look at how far we’re willing to go to keep America safe!” vibe to it, but as an outsider I found it pretty horrifying.

SA was being interviewed for an article -- was this detail not discussed beforehand?

Did the NYT violate an informal agreement not to use his real name?

Could SA have reasonably expected that a reporter would not trivially find his real name as part of routine research, and thus include it as background?

SA's wishes should be respected by NYT -- the piece should be abandoned -- but his judgement on entering into an interview in the first place is questionable.

what this is about?
NYT was about to run a story about Scott and his blog. By policy, they'd reveal his real name, and they told him so in advance. Scott tried to negotiate, but that failed. So he took down the blog, sort of in protest. See https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/06/22/nyt-is-threatening-my-...

It's the blog title, an almost anagram of "Scott Alexander", missing the "n", doubling the "s". I don't think it has any deeper meaning.

Heating energy is highly dependent on insulation and energy source. In northern cities with CHP powered district heating & heat recovery ventilation, it's fairly good. This in addition to the nature of thermodynamics which makes cooling quite energy-inefficient to start with.

(Of course cooling could also be done with energy efficient city district cooling like they do in some places...)
You have to provision and maintain your VPS. As far as I can tell, Deta isn't in the same line of business, they provide a managed infrastructure.

For sure you can already find cheap ways to host your systems. I still think that if you're a small team that want to compete in this domain you shouldn't try to compete on price, they are doom to fail if they go in that direction against already established businesses.

As someone who seem to match their target audience, I can say that $5/month is too cheap for me, that doesn't really inspire confidence. Of course that's just my opinion.
From the Hapi Slack:

> eran 6:38 PM

> Over the past few years I have tried many different ways to keep my work on the hapi ecosystem sustainable. I was trying to secure enough funds to keep the lights on but also to innovate and improve the framework. This has worked well for a while but over the past year both commercial licenses and sponsorship dropped to an all time low. At the current funding level I can only address critical issues and keep things stable. It doesn’t allow me to invest in the future of the framework, add meaningful new features, or keep up with community support.After 5 years of working outside of a major company, I have reached the point where I am no longer finding this work rewarding. The resources available do not allow me to spend the kind of quality time needed to have a meaningful engagement with this project. I no longer believe that this can be fixed or reversed. Go through another round of begging people for money in hope of another year or so for project runway is not appealing to me.I don’t know exactly how this will unfold. I plan to communicate this to the wider hapi community over the next few days to start a conversation and see what’s the best way for me to bring this project to an appropriate conclusion. This channel is the beginning of this process. While I am not expecting others to take over the work, I have not ruled that out yet.I want you to know that regardless of how this ends up, I am going to keep supporting the project until the end of the year. After that, I am going to offer some kind of continued commercial support for at least 2 years. I still need to work out the plan for what that support looks like and make sure that it is priced in a way that allows me to offer it.

>That's what concentration camp is for. To concentrate and control.

The problem is that these words have taken on entirely different meanings that perhaps what they once meant and there are those who take advantage of that disparity. When people hear about concentration camps, they think death camps, even if that isn't specifically what the word once meant.

There are many such ways to twist words like this and rarely do I find them being used for positive reasons. It is like when someone lists all the large name chemicals in a vaccine. They might be factually correct, but what is the chance they are doing that to scare people who have a misunderstanding of chemicals thinking that large name means harmful chemical?
