Sorry to be blunt but... you're sort of wrong twice:

* EVEN IF he has a contract for the year, there would still be 1001 things that might happen between then and now that mean he isn't actually due payment (company bankruptcy, his death etc). That's why he cannot keep the money.

* And that is exactly the same position that Revlon\Brigade are in: Brigade are no more SURE they will get paid or that Revlon will even be legally required to pay them...
Can't read it either but this seems to be a copy: https://technocodex.com/with-16bn-in-cryptocurrency-ripple-a...
I'll restate what I said: In a game of Monopoly, someone who starts with more money is not playing under the same rules. A game of Monopoly where one player starts with more money is not a fair game, even thought we all move 6 spaces forward when we roll a six. The same thing is true in life.

Perhaps I can put it another way: the existing laws are not the only rules that govern our laws. We all live under the same laws, but we don't all live under the same rules. For some people, it's a rule that if they quit their job they will quickly be homeless. For other people (whose only merit is to be born in the right place), there is not such rule. This is not fair.

My definition of fair is not perfect, but it looks to resolve the most egregious cases of unfairness I can think of.
“Every root cause for overdose has been exacerbated by this pandemic.”

I keep seeing people make this mistake. The root cause for overdose has been exacerbated by the government's response to this pandemic, not the pandemic itself.
To be fair, you can just point to the `stable` repositories in the `/etc/apt/sources.list` configuration file and simply just refer to your install as "Debian Stable" ('s/stable/testing/g').

However every few years there might be a not so "stable" update around the new release.
Exactly, I don't understand why everyone is quick to turn Apple into Android, when I bet they don't even have iPhones in the first place. I know the concensus on HN is that Apple is a monopoly, but ALL my friends expect for one have androids. You can say "Well yes, but by % of revenue", but that's the point. All my friends will never give a penny to a play store App because it has the reputation of a Warez site, full of flashlight apps that need root permission to install.

IBM should stop trying to copy AWS/Azure/GCP with their cloud offerings and instead offered a "mainframe" based cloud, they might get more traction. Customers could submit their COBOL/CICS jobs and just pay for the cpu milliseconds or I/O blocks used etc. getting the cloud scale and elasticity for a mainframe without having to actually "own" a mainframe. I guess that's where AWS is going with some of their ML & analytic offerings (batch oriented, but not mainframe based).
The argument here, from Brigade Cap, is that they simply got paid the outstanding debt - as the transfer equaled to that same figure.

But, logic from the business side, says that no company would realistically drain all their resources on paying outstanding long-term debt. That's why they took out the debt in the first place.
What I ask myself is:

1. Are they competent?

2. Are they acting in good faith?

These can then be further subdivided into things to check.

Since there's no objective definition of "hate content", this is akin to them patting themselves on the back for outright censorship based on their own arbitrary definitions.
To explain the existence of the universe you need to explain space, time, and energy/matter.

Even if you assume that space-time has always existed, an infinity scenario, (though you then have interesting questions on the nature of time if nothing exists) you still need to explain the existence of energy/matter, which will still be either an infinity or a discontinuity scenario.

These concepts aren't new. They're also universal truths about human nature.

Everyone wants to think that they're in control, at least in their head. But until they come to terms with the fact that they are not in control, they will continue to do detriment to themselves and others. See "alcoholics anonymous" (AA) for evidence of this.
This is fascinating, in so far as the surface details materialize. However I feel as details of the loan are read in detail in can be reasonably argued that one side is in fact more right than the other, but the devil's in the details.

Early loan payment is a feature of credit. The cashflow is a feature of a fixed income. If the cashflow can be cut short and money returned at the debtors option, the creditor is once again found in a situation of having to seek a superior investment opportunity and thats a risk in some portfolio managers' eyes.

I think the argument that the spot economic signals are stacked against revlon isn't a factor in citis favor, and a hedge fund is exercising fiduciary responsibility by closing the debt, ESPECIALLY if the debt has an early payment clause.

If citi is told to go "pound sand" then they've effectively acquired a bond position on Revlon tho, so the argument that the hedgefund must return the money sounds valud from the sense that currently, revlon doesn't have a formal bond agreement with citi.

I'm very curious as to the court's position in this case, bc if citi has to bite the bullet, IB world is going to laugh at citi
There are Alpine [1] and Debian [2] miniconda images (within which you can `conda install python==3.8` and 2.7 and 3.4 in different conda envs)

[2] https://github.com/ContinuumIO/docker-images/blob/master/min...

If you build manylinux wheels with auditwheel [3], they should install without needing compilation for {CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, and Alpine}; though standard Alpine images have MUSL instead of glibc by default, this [4] may work:

echo "manylinux1_compatible = True" > $PYTHON_PATH/_manylinux.py

Not the same machines, but different groups or machines (pools, shards, farms, whatever). They'll certainly be able to move you around to balance the pools, or to decomission pools, or to put you in a pool with primary data closer to where you usually access from etc. Grouping by behavior makes sense too --- separating heavy and light users makes a lot of sense, you can serve a lot more light users from one pool, and the heavy users won't impact their service.

As someone who lived at Corona for a few years I am not surprised as the daily exposure to number of strangers for the residents is probably also one of the highest. The neighborhood is composed of mostly people who cannot work from home (restaurant workers and delivery agents who work in Manhattan). It has a very close proximity to the crowded 7 train and relatively cheap rent in the surrounding area.

Just a hunch, but I think the correlation of flat earthers to schizophrenia is a thousand times stronger than any other.
Although I'm outsider to US politics and I kind of liked Obama, Obama winning Nobel was an absurdity.

And Malala winning Nobel was also a joke. Don't get me wrong. I don't like Pakistan's regressive religion oriented politics and I actually hate Taliban. I concur that Malala might have done something courageous, but I always felt awarding her Nobel prize was mostly a propaganda. But now I kind of hate Malala.

Obama and Malala cases made me think that Nobel peace prizes are joke.
Even if the moon were a disk, the angle it makes relative to a normal vector coming out from ground demonstrates a spherical earth.

You don't even need to factor in the moon, this can be done with the stars. In a flat earth, the same stars would be visible when you're in the southern too of south America as in the northernmost top of north America. This isn't the case since the earth is spherical.

Heck, even just the timing of a sunrise is sufficient. In a flat earth the sun would rise simultaneously across the globe... er, disk. But of course that's not the case. It's daytime in half of the world at any given time.

There's a reply to sentiments like yours in the first few paragraphs of the article.

> For years, European and American historians and archaeologists viewed ancient Kush through the lens of their own prejudices and that of the times. In the early 20th century, the Harvard Egyptologist George Reisner, on viewing the ruins of the Nubian settlement of Kerma, declared the site an Egyptian outpost. “The native negroid race had never developed either its trade or any industry worthy of mention, and owed their cultural position to the Egyptian immigrants and to the imported Egyptian civilization,” he wrote in an October 1918 bulletin for Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. It wasn’t until mid-century that sustained excavation and archaeology revealed the truth: Kerma, which dated to as early as 3000 B.C., was the first capital of a powerful indigenous kingdom that expanded to encompass the land between the first cataract of the Nile in the north and the fourth cataract in the south. The kingdom rivaled and at times overtook Egypt. This first Kushite kingdom traded in ivory, gold, bronze, ebony and slaves with neighboring states such as Egypt and ancient Punt, along the Red Sea to the east, and it became famous for its blue glazed pottery and finely polished, tulip-shaped red-brown ceramics.

Also, "looted"? How does one loot civilization? Did the West "loot" paper from China?
Dead trees = coal, oil and gas.

Solar and wind are not something you can decide when you want it and the EROEI is only ok if you subvention the manufacturing and/or grid with dead-trees, when you look at it from a system perspective they are utterly useless.

The numbers only look good through the debt lens.

Both solar and wind have very short lifespans.
> they were sent to protect Federal Property

They may wish that the local police were more successful at suppressing the violence, but that doesn't make it their responsibility to deal with the rioters. And why did they feel the need to meet the Portland protesters with violence but not the guys who occupied federal property out in Eastern Oregon? Politics, perhaps?

> 2 wrongs do not make a right

Sure. However, promoting the general welfare of people in the US by supporting pandemic response is a good bit less bad than creating arbitrary new regulations and laws that criminalize behavior which is really a local concern.

Downloading content like the most recent Jeopardy is where torrents shine. Also recent blockbuster movies and AAA games. Torrents can be faster than a CDN in these cases, because they are popular content. Try to download Jeopardy from Feb 29, 2014, good luck if anyone's seeding that. But I'm sure NBC's paid streaming service has that episode if you want it.

> The 'Linux Desktop' people that you say are targeting things for better or worse put in time to build free products, if you don't like some switch to others or contribute.

I did. I used to run Linux on 4/5 of my desktops and now that is down to 1/5, and only because I haven't turned that one on in 6 months. My complaints are made no less invalid by that.

Contributing to Linux Desktop is, in my considered opinion, a waste of time. The community is so dead set on doing things in the most convoluted and complicated ways possible that there is no hope for reasonable ideas.

Yeah, trying to translate code from OCaml the number one most annoying thing was limitations around pattern matching. I think in general you run into this sort of thing a lot if you try to either treat Rust as a functional programming language like OCaml, or are writing the sort of thing that inherently benefits from garbage collection. However, there is actually a trick that can (if you don't need cleanup) both improve your performance and give you back pattern matching: allocate your nodes in something like https://docs.rs/typed-arena/2.0.1/typed_arena/ instead of as Rcs. Doing this (especially if you tend to stick to immutable stuff, but even if you don't if you're careful) can make using Rust for manipulating ASTs and stuff a lot more pleasant (though it does have other tradeoffs, obviously, and you usually end up needing both kinds of representation at different points--which I guess speaks to your point about there being way too many ways to do things and too many rules about how to do them).
People who donate to domestic charities when AMF and the malaria consortium are saving lives for $5 a net are immoral or naive.
I remember an essay a few years ago (it was the Ukrainian poisoning?) where the author essentially said that Russia's brand has basically been spoiled for outsiders. (political brand certainly, but maybe overall as a country).

As in, Russia is no longer a trustworthy seeming, interesting, attractive place to want to go visit or collaborate with or be associated with.

I mean, of course it depends on the level of detail you're dealing with and who exactly you're associating with. But for me, a general observer, Russia certainly seems to have gotten a history of doing and being the source of shady things.

Even aside from that, and this is probably skewed by the history books focusing on the oddest parts of history -- Russia always reads like an odd, outlier place in history. Or maybe it's the Russian literature. Always something strange, or depressing going on there.

What's up with that?
They say in that article it will start without a doubt by 2028.

> Back in February, Lipsitch gave a very rough estimate that, absent intervention, herd immunity might happen after 40 to 70 percent of the population had been infected.

Which is actually a mischaracterization of what the previous article[1] said:

> Lipsitch predicts that within the coming year, some 40 to 70 percent of people around the world will be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19.

At no point does he mention herd immunity. So, no, he's not saying herd immunity at 40%.

> borderline psychotic people accusing everyone of being a russian bot

That at least I think it a little explainable. I'm often checking different news sources about a story from Google news, and if the comment section at the bottom of foxnews.com is anything to go by, it's extremely hard to tell what see from what you would expect a Russion bot to do to stir discontent apart from trolling and/or blind ignorance of what the article was about.

In some ways believing in bots is a bit of an uplifting story. That's a person that doesn't believe their fellow citizens could actually be as disdainful and hurtful to each other as appears readily apparent. It's real tempting to buy into that sometimes.

Hi there, thanks for your comment. Kickstarter is an extremely useful way to accelerate the development of Quell for a few key reasons. It lets us manufacture and ship at scale, guaranteeing our backers the lowest price possible. Kickstarter also enables us to move faster towards bigger stretch goals. We can use it to ensure that we are building something that people actually want, which gives them a voice in shaping the product and demonstrates to other sources of funding that there is real demand for it. Of course, it also comes with the responsibility to really deliver on our promises or make good with our backers, no ifs or buts, and we take this very seriously.

I think it's fair to say that Kush has never been 'forgotten'--in fact, it's been heavily researched, documented, debated. This article title is a bit clickbait-y, and hinges on the current fad of 'Europeans are all racists and didn't acknowledge/appreciate a Black civilization', which is of course wrong.
Yes, I've had this happen several times as well, and only when thinking about the origin of the universe (or the origin of God, which is essentially the same thing). It doesn't seem to be a feeling I can create consciously, i.e. thinking about it right now doesn't cause it to happen.

I always wondered whether other people experienced this too, now I know. Thanks!
Are these really "mistakes" or are they just the random process of value discovery, which naturally involves a lot of failures. Finding product-market fit is not something you can engineer with perfect foresight. You raise money, you build something, and then you have a limited time to see whether your hypothesis about the market was correct. Often, if not most of the time, you fail to get the fit you need in order to succeed.

There are definitely execution failures, but in my experience spanning 20 years, I have seen far more failures that are really just failed experiments rather than execution failures. A half-decent team can get product-market fit; once you're there, attracting the people who won't fuck up the next phase is relatively easy. If you don't have product-market fit, no amount of genius will save your company.
