Sorry, I think my post above was confusing. Please let me clarify:

There seems to be a huge number of fields-of-expertise that potentially have bearing on my life or work. E.g., urologists, transmission repair techs, indoor air quality experts, sleep therapists, house painters, early childhood education consultants, therapists/counselors, sports trainers, physical therapists, housecleaners, etc.

In my experience, most of those fields have practitioners who are sure they could help you avoid future problems; you just have to hire them to see the benefit! Or at the very least, invest time in helping them understand your particular situation so they can give more detailed advice.

I could easily believe that most of them are correct, too. But each of us, even in a business setting, has limited funds and time/bandwidth to deal with such specialists.

In my post above, I was trying to say that knowing which of these many specialists one should have engaged with isn't always clear ahead of time. E.g., maybe I didn't need to bring my car to a transmission repair shop, when the only real problem I'd have in the near year is back pain from poor sitting posture.
I'm no chef but I think heat is usually good for food. That's why I just put the meat in the pan at full flame and leave it there for 10 hours.

Saying that debt can be positive in some situations does absolutely nothing to address the concerns of this article. The problem is it doesn't look good in this situation for a large number of complicated reasons.
You are drawing from experience in business. This is politics.

The idea that the two are somehow the same is a very questionable (not to mention recent, circa 1980) idea.
I can't verify the 10%, but I can say 10 drinks a day is well below what I was doing in the height of my madness. That's one pint of vodka. And when I landed in a rehab center, 10+ drinks a day was more common than not when listening to the stories.

A fair amount of the 10+ drinks isn't to "feel good" or "get drunk" once you're hooked. It's to stop the shaking and be able to minimally function.

It seems pretty straightforward and logical if you view the payment as the second payment of a series.

If you look at this sequence of events you can see why it might be problematic:

1) Bob has money, which he lends to Dave. Dave has possession but it's still Bob's money.

2) Dave returns the money to Bob. It's Bob's money and he has possession of his own money.

3) Nobody owes anyone anything and there's no obligation from either Dave or Bob to do anything as any agreement that existed has been fulfilled.

4) Court orders Bob to give Bob's money to Dave.

The action contemplated in point 4 here is a pretty extraordinary remedy. Even though it's Bob's money, and there's no contract or agreement outstanding that obligates him to do anything, and even though Bob has done nothing wrong and is not in breach of any obligation or agreement he's going to be ordered to give money, which is his and he has every right to have, to someone else.

It's pretty easy to see why the legal system might decide that's not something it wants to do.

Or something unexpected happens and you get stuck with low interest rates and a war of some sort.

High debt and low interest rate environment don't guarantee your more stable amd secure society. Only for short term while you keep printing money. While experiencing all kinds of weird societal phenomena, such as markets decoupled from fundamentals, extremely expensive real estate or low birth rates. The low birth rates will actually implode this entire debt and money printing based scheme or some war or similar conflict even sooner.
To be fair, POWER 10 is an absolute beast. They did make the mistake of using a custom DRAM connection method (in itself actually good), for which there exists only one chip to translate it to normal DDR4. This chip uses someone else's IP for the DRAM controller part. This other company is against the system running with open firmware.

Apart from that, they're great.

That's fair; I was tempted to say that The Fifth Element also a little bit prefigured "hopepunk", in that it is, in spite of everything, a love story with a happy ending. Brazil could maybe almost be considered the "black mirror" version of the same story, if you squint really hard at least.

In any case, I haven't watched either film in far too long. I should really remedy that soon!

I love plants, and I pay attention to species, tree shapes, etc. I constantly talk to kids about plants and ask them to identify the species, and pay attention to their features. I think it's really important and it tunes them to the world around.
My take was more on what justice means and whether we can question human inconsistency.

Like whether a persons genius has something to do with the bad deeds or the worst part of themselves has something to do with their genius.

There is an excellent essay by Heinrich Oppenhiemer called The Rationale of Punishment [0] It's quite the thought provoking read despite being over a century old. People then struggled with the question of justice - what is fair - just as we do today.

The idea of fairness, to mete out punishment and dole out reward with equal measure, should be the foundation of justice. Yes, we should lock the molester in a dark cell for life for his crime, but justice demands that if he has done good works - those be recognised with the exactude of their contribution, not with spite.

Some old Chinese texts on Mohism should also be an entertaining read - with good leaders both in government and military said to have mastered fairness in reward and punishment [1]

So I'm hoping at the least you can see nothing is so black and white when it comes to the justice of reward and punishment. The idea of being just is seen as virtuous throughout the ages across all cultures from the Zulu to the Muari to the Aztecs to the Sycithians to ancient Egyptians to Han China - because it hard.

Abstract:

Newly developed long historical time series on public debt, along with modern data on external debts, allow a deeper analysis of the cycles underlying serial debt and banking crises. The evidence confirms a strong link between banking crises and sovereign default across the economic history of great many countries, advanced and emerging alike. The focus of the analysis is on three related hypotheses tested with both “world” aggregate levels and on an individual country basis. First, private debt surges are a recurring antecedent to banking crises; governments quite contribute to this stage of the borrowing boom. Second, banking crises (both domestic ones and those emanating from international financial centers) often precede or accompany sovereign debt crises. Indeed, we find they help predict them. Third, public borrowing accelerates markedly ahead of a sovereign debt crisis; governments often have “hidden debts” that far exceed the better documented levels of external debt. These hidden debts encompass domestic public debts (which prior to our data were largely undocumented).
No, you never bought it to begin with. Can't own what you never paid for obviously.
That's mostly OK though. It makes no sense financially in cities anyway.

I would love to get Starlink just because it's awesome, but I'm in a city and can get 350gbps broadband for £50 a month so it would be kinda pointless.
OK, so they payed $500M about two years early, right?

That's very bad for your cash flow, and you lose 2 years worth of interest from that, but in the long run, citibank isn't $500M poorer, right?

I'm trying to understand what the real financial impact is. Interest rates aren't very high right now, so can maybe a few percent of the $500M per year?

Regarding the UI issue: Not only is it bad that the user interface is weird, but that approval seems to use the same bad UI as entering the data. The approval stage really needs a line like "this will result in a $ X being sent out on $Date to $Recipient".
There aren't just two rich people on earth, you know?

Ugh. Come on. Be part of the solution, not the problem. We should be promoting safe use and harm reduction education, not these bullshit blanket statements such as 'do not mess with opioids'/'say no to drugs', and stop using them quick.

Otherwise the people who inevitably will/do use, only hear and have only heard, 'don't do it to start' or get ostracized instead of getting the help they need or the education they need to know when they are overdoing it or not in control any more.

We also need more clinics and support for safely quitting or managing drugs and tools for it similar to what we have for tobacco.

Shamefully, here in Canada, some of these clinics in Vancouver are getting shut down, rather than more of them popping up, during the worst opioid crisis this country has ever seen.

These closures are a direct result of a 'don't ever do/touch drugs' policy and the stigma and ostracization that come with it.

Speaking from experience...education is better than 'don't'. I have had friends who have died from using drugs, and I have many, many friends who are regular users but not abusers - pull an insane variety of different full-time jobs. (And well!)

The huge difference between these two groups of people for me is education (for instance, preexisting mental health conditions that would be made worse by a particular substance and the knowledge to avoid it), and having a support system, etc..

It is fascinating and inspiring that someone has chosen to put themselves in the very vulnerable position of coming out about their personal use, and I believe the intention is to help remove the stigma around drug use, so education can be bettered. :)

Edit: Maybe better to say 'Drugs can be extremely harmful and addictive. If you choose to use them, please be sure you are educated, safe, and have someone nearby.'

In fact, that doesn't seem dissimilar to the surgeon general warnings on cigarette packs, anyway.

What kind of warning labels will we see on cocaine, heroin, etc - in countries where its sale will inevitably be legalized? These are the kinds of statements we should be making rather than 'just stay away from opioids.'
Did you even read his question?

Nowhere in the article (which I read in its entirety) does it answer the above reply's question. "Do companies consider good UI a competitive advantage when looking for a commercial bank or lender?" I don't know. But that's not addressed in the article.

My guess is that it probably isn't a huge consideration. Very few people interact with these interfaces. Maybe one or two controllers at a company would ever log into this. Even CEOs and top management would never actually log into these accounts directly. They are going to get their information from internal reports and BI dashboards. So I bet no one really cares. If Citi offers a $400M loan at 1.1% interest and JP Morgan offers the same loan at 1.3% interest, my guess is that that company is going with Citi. I doubt UI/UX makes a difference here. Although in the consumer world it does have an impact which is why we have seen many banks improving their apps and websites lately to compete in the consumer banking space.

The Spectrum of Permanence
I think what is needed is a chain of ID verification systems.

At one end would be a service where you verify you identity when signing up to the service by showing up physically and showing them your government issued photo ID. They photograph you and fingerprint you and take your signature and add all that to their records.

Let's call this service a root identity service. Banks would be great candidates for providing root identity services.

You can use this service to create a verified identity with other services. You would generally only do this with the most important other services, such as your email provider and/or if you have your own domain your domain registrar.

The way you would do this is when signing up with your domain registrar, say, you tell them that you want to verify your identity with your root identity provider. There would be a standard protocol for the registrar to query your root identity provider and for you to tell the identity provider that you are indeed trying to prove yourself to the registrar.

Once that is done, the registrar can set up your account as normal with a username and password and whatever 2FA methods they support. But since you have verified your identity with your root provider, the domain registrar would let you set an option to require re-verification with the same root provider if you need to recover your account after forgetting your password or losing your 2FA device, and to prohibit ever changing the root identity associated with the account.

Someone might steal your domain registrar account somehow, but you can always prove you are the owner and get it back as long as you have not lost control of your root identity account. If someone manages to get control of that, you can get that back first by going in person to an office of the root provider with your government ID, and having them in person verify that, and that you match the other ID information they have on file.

Now you can make Google accounts and Facebook accounts and similar. Those accounts you just associate with an email address. If one of those accounts gets compromised, you recover by going through the usual common recovery method that involves proving you control the email address associated with the account.

You can then use things like "sign in with Google" or "sign in with Facebook" for other accounts, confident that if someone hijacks your Facebook or Google account, you will be able to recover that, and so recover the accounts you use Facebook or Google to sign in to.
(You still have to worry about Facebook or Google themselves kicking you off of course, but that's not a problem of identity verification so is beyond the scope of this comment).

The idea is you build a chain of identity, with different links in the chain making different choices in the trade off between security and convenience. You decide where you want each thing to be in that chain, but as long each identity chain leads back to a root identity provider you can rebuild the links and recover any lost or stolen accounts.

Adding on to this: blkdiscard should work fine for SATA or NVMe drives, if you just want to make the drive blank. SATA drives technically have the option of ignoring TRIM commands, but I'm not sure it was ever actually common for them to do so.

Suspending and waking a PC to unlock a drive can be necessary for SATA or NVMe drives. SATA drives also give you the alternative of hot-swapping the drive, but that's not practical for consumer NVMe drives or consumer host systems.

Hey Folks, author here, would be happy to discuss SSH certs vs public keys and lessons learned.
You are unfairly downvoted, while giving the proper answer.

For complex actions, the UI should summarize the future result of the comment - not so little as to be useless (ex: "some of the money will go to an external account" = how much money? on which external account? only one? more?) and not much as to be a description of the underlying software process (as a debugging output would)

This requires both domain knowledge and software literacy, so it is hardly found, if ever.

> Or do nothing and ignore it

What happens when you ignore your mortgage or car payment? You lose the asset, because the lender has recourse against non-payment.

Now what happens if we make it illegal for lenders to do anything about missed payments? Suddenly, the lenders are in a much riskier position. They can’t give out cheap loans if the recipients know they can simply ignore the interest payments and keep the house or car. As a result, interest rates much be way, way higher to make up for all of the people who choose to ignore their loans. Loans become much harder to get for anyone who doesn’t have a long credit history of repaying loans, meaning starter homes aren’t affordable until people are in their 30s or 40s, if ever.

Same thing happens at government scale. If we simply stop paying the debt, trust disappears and the cost of borrowing goes up. We can’t finance our infrastructure and public services because no one has any desire to lend money to an institution that has demonstrated a refusal to pay it back. Does your city need to replace a bridge? I guess they need to save up the taxes for the next 10 years and then replace it, rather than issuing 10-year bonds at cheap rates.

Or from another perspective: Imagine your friend needs $1000 to start a business. You loan him $1000 and he writes up a contract to repay you $1050 later. However, we declares a debt jubilee and now he refuses to pay you back. You’re now out $1000, have no recourse, and your friend has a business with no debt. Would you ever consider loaning anyone money again? If you did, you’d probably want a $1300 repayment on your $1000 loan to offset the risk of another debt jubilee destroying your investment again.

Debt is just a contract to finance projects at a certain rate. A debt jubilee voids the contract. If you destroy the contract, you destroy the system that finances things.
I'm not sure what you're arguing because it sounds like you agree with the parent. The games should be available on Origin and Steam and people should be able to choose the one they want. That's the whole issue, though.

Case in point, I bought DooM Eternal's Collector's Edition. I could not use Steam and had to activate the game through the Bethesda launcher. I can add the game to my Steam library as an "external" game but I can't play with my list of Steam friends or use the matchmaking tools built into Steam. I had to use Bethesda's platform and we, essentially, had to re-do all the connections and friends lists to duplicate them in Bethesda. I would have preferred not to do that. You may even be able to do that now but it was not an option at launch.
I went to check my Firefox memory usage on Windows 10 (two tabs, extensions include ublock, facebook, bitwarden, contrast and multi-account containers) but I saw something unexpected.

https://imgur.com/a/UJnV7ak

Adding up the RAM totals 671.7MB on a 16GB device. But why do I have one Firefox with 4 sub-processes, and 3 (no 4) additional lone Firefox processes? I think the 4 background processes must be extensions in sure, but then what is the primary process with 4 sub-processes when I only have two tabs?

Without extensions, it looks like the browser is using about 280MB.

Does Citibank have a case against Oracle? OSS licenses all have that "this software is not fit for any purpose at all, don't even think about suing us if it goes wrong" clause, which would seem to imply that licensing poorly-made software can be grounds for a lawsuit.
Yes I agree. The most important thing about this data visualisation has surely got to be what actual data it’s visualising.

Looking at my local area. It definitely does NOT seem to be physical cell towers.

Some data points are plotted in the sea for one thing.

So it kind of doesn’t matter how fancy or well done it is if we can’t all agree on what it’s actually showing.
I think the only cases of major system failures that could be blamed on human error, are ones where people INTENTIONALLY did wrong stuff, sadly, these cases do exist and were very lethal.

1. First nuclear accident: the theory is one operator was upset that another operator was screwing his wife, and removed the control rods 100% when he was scheduled to work on them, causing a sudden spike in temperature and then a water hammer that killed everyone in the building. (and made it JUMP!!!)

2. Chernobyl, although many people (specially anti-nuclear) blame the accident on the design, it was obvious deliberate error, even if the intentions weren't malicious, the operators ignored alarms, then DISABLED the alarms, and intentionally pushed the reactor past safety limits, even if it didn't had the design flaw it had, it was possible they would still find a way to blow it up if they kept their behaviour.

3. Depressed airline pilot, locked co-pilot out of the cockpit and crashed on the ground on purpose.

There are probably other situations out there... thing is, those are situations no matter how well the system is designed, it will still happen, it is impossible to make a "malicious-proof" system, after all, even a rock, with zero moving parts, can be used in the "wrong way" and kill someone.
Factor in the annual percentage rates on that. I think it makes a large difference. The actual amount that needs to be paid back is far less. I think the final amount owed on that debt is important to look at, not just the total amount borrowed.
It is used the same way in Spanish. A cultured native speaker is aware of the difference but as OP said it is sometimes used in a pejorative sense to indicate than in the Anglophone countries is usually the WASP (emphasis in WAS) portion who holds the power and in is those portion were many of the white supremacy ideology and policies arised.
