I think it makes sense. If you are already owing money the creditor is expecting the payment and has no reason to believe it is a mistake. If you then afterwards come and say "hey I was not supposed to pay the money i owe you, please pay it back" things become sort of complicated.

For me cargo, rust-analyzer, and lifetimes/borrow checker just makes programming so much more pleasant.

I dont go overboard on the more advanced features in the rust language, and probably write more C idiomatic code sometimes, but I still prefer using rust over C

Think about it from the side of the creditor (the person to whom the debt is owed).

The point is, if the creditor is owed a debt, and receives payment for it, and A) He has no reason to think the payment was a mistake at the time he received it, B) He did not falsely induce the debtor to make the payment, then the creditor should not have to worry that the debtor will come to him the next day and say “Uh, that was a mistake, I want the money I owe you back.”

A few years ago, right here on HackerNews, I made some comment about heroin being extremely dangerous and addictive. I had a gentleman with a Throwaway account come at me with a "cool story bro, but I use heroin often, and I hold down a high-paying job" response. Basically, he told me that I'm an idiot and I should stop spreading FUD. I looked at his other threads like a year later, and the poor dude, sure enough is hopelessly hooked. I'm never one to say, "I told you so", especially not to someone who's now in such dire circumstances... but, WHY do people think that THEY are going to be the one to beat the odds? If you use a horribly addictive substance, don't be surprised when you become...addicted! The risk/reward is just too big.
Dunno about you, but I have never bought drugs from a junkie, but, of course, through dealers, who - in my experience, more often than not - do not actually use many of the substances they sell.

Those numbers don't make sense to me, it claims that Safari would use 73M of memory with both Twitter and Gmail. But locally on my machine I see that Activity Monitor already reports 490M of memory usage just for the Gmail process of Safari alone. The Twitter login page also already needs 90M. Can someone check as well?
It's not false. We already went through this when people first learned you could jailbreak an iPhone. People don't know the risks involved with sideloading. They just see that some jerk has "video wallpaper" and "custom icons" on their iOS and they want that so they find someone to jailbreak and install those apps without ever recognizing that they have compromised their device. That's literally the entire point here.

Also, that's a very naive position if you're just going to go by that article. That only covers "known" malware and only Android phones that they have been able to actually register has having these apps installed. Malware is not going to phone home to Google. It's going to do it's damndest to hide itself.

Side note: wtf kind of word is damndest? I always thought it was damnest.
> Who decides that someone is a responsible and healthy adult?

You do. It's not up to someone to decide, you're responsible for your own body and your own decisions to improve/harm it.

I don't think they are saying advising governments to setup some sort of screening process for this. It's more for the people who are interested in the drugs themselves. When I first started getting interested in drugs, many pushed the idea that I should be psychologically healthy first (mostly because my first interest was psychedelics and I have good and well-meaning friends). I think that's what the article is trying to signal here.

How would boot block recovery work without a CPU installed at all?

Because modern bios flashback does indeed read from the USB and write to one of the bios chips without even the CPU in place. Obviously there is some form of micro-controller performing this.

On intel, I suppose it would be possible for the management engine CPU in the chipset to do this, but I doubt intel lets motherboard makers run custom code on that, so if it is not some standardized feature, it could not be that. On AMD Ryzen, I'm not aware of a CPU in the chipset.

This all makes me think there is some other microcontroller somewhere that controls the bios flashback process, which would almost certainly be an extra chip.

> That said, I don't understand why the creditor would want to hold onto the money. If they made a loan, they did so to make money off of interest payments, and if the loan is prepaid, they make less.

The borrower in this case is in financial decline, so they would not get the loan on those terms day. Imagine if you had a loan, lost your job, and then accidentally repaid the loan. The lender would be breathing a sigh of relief.

> Earlier in the year, as the pandemic was accelerating, Revlon experienced financial difficulties and sought to borrow more money. To do that, Revlon convinced a majority of its previous creditors to allow it to transfer collateral from its old loan to a new one.

> The strong-arm tactic angered the other creditors, who felt that the reduced collateral could leave them holding the bag if Revlon ran out of money. That's more than a theoretical concern: Bloomberg's Matt Levine reports that Revlon's debt is "trading at around 42 cents on the dollar." But under the terms of the loan, the minority lenders didn't have a way to force early repayment.
It's going to be so good to finally have an open source option for large storage building blocks. It's of particular interest to those of us in HPC as if you are building a large parallel file system and you don't want re-build times to suck your options are basically one of the following.

Though ZFS and dRAID will likely show up in that last one in the future.

Having worked for companies the size of small startups up through megacorps, my experience has been that megacorps can be unfathomably foolish in these kinds of things.

I'd expect Citibank to be less likely to learn (and apply) the right lessons from this experience, than a small or medium-sized business would.

Ok, for the keyboard enthusiasts here: does anyone know if there’s such thing as a “magic keyboard” - flat keyboard and flat keys - but as a split keyboard?

I’ve been testing split keyboards lately and I think they’ll provide some relief to some neck and shoulder pain I get from hunching when I type, but I don’t really like how gigantic the keyboards all are, and to be honest I prefer the “chiclet” keys over the big mechanical keys (heresy, I know).

Any suggestions?
> If they made a loan, they did so to make money off of interest payments, and if the loan is prepaid, they make less.

The article mentions the creditor's impression of the company soured over time, and further their debt was trading for 42c on the dollar. So they got a nice little >2x return on expected value.
> Artificially limiting what you can and cannot do on your hardware is a bad precedent.

Unfortunately it happens all the time. For instance Nvidia had Quadro lineup, with nicer multi-display settings that to my knowledge was always just driver thing. They never ported those to GeForce line up, and people suffered with displays that wake up too late and all windows were messed up when you waked up your computer.

It hasn't happened to me lately so they might have fixed it, problem was that if one of the displays took longer to wake up then Windows didn't recognize it until it was too late. With Quadro you could force the EDI settings so that it faked for operating system that the display was there.

It seems like manufacturers are now resorting to artificial means to curb demand, rather than increasing supply.

What are the practical reasons supply hasn’t kept up? Obviously, a fab is expensive but they have to be just printing money with these things in the current market. This really goes across the board with semiconductors as CPU supply issues are outrageous right now as well. Why aren’t more fabs being built? Is this just plain and simple greed?
> If the apparatus of total surveillance that we have described here were deliberate, centralized, and explicit, a Big Brother machine toggling between cameras, it would demand revolt, and we could conceive of a life outside the totalitarian microscope.

Really not sure how to turn this into actionable legislation, but the fundamental problem isn't the data collection. Rather, it's the massive reduction in cost in organizing and querying the data. The laws and norms were set up when the only way to tell if someone had walked down a specific street was to pay someone to watch or to knock on doors and talk to people with faulty memories. Cameras couldn't store years of footage, databases weren't invented yet, and machine facial recognition was pure fantasy.

Like, in the 19th century it'd be absolutely ridiculous to insist that you have a right of "privacy" that means that people can't recognize you when you're walking around in public. And for a long time, pointing a camera outside your window was basically just like looking out it, and it got treated that way. A database of camera footage looking out at a majority of public streets, recording 24/7 with 5 years of back footage, indexed by time + location + facial recognition match, on the other hand, exploits people's privacy in a way that is far more than the sum of parts.

Essentially, my view is that some databases are repugnant to public policy and should be illegal to build and to query. GDPR has well shown the problems involved in legislating this, and there's a massive free speech argument that torpedoes the whole thing anyhow, so I'm pessimistic about actually fixing things.
That would, by itself, make the UI less shitty. Also, if you're the sort of person who thinks in those terms, you're also likely the sort of person who'd have come up with a better design overall anyway.

This possibility is nearly always discussed in the context of whether racial differences in outcomes are solely due to discrimination or whether there are other factors in play. Other explanations than genetic differences and racism are also often discussed.

This is important because the claim that racial gaps are solely due to racism is used to advocate for far-reaching reforms, which have huge risks and which won't actually close the gap if racism is not the cause or at least in the way as is claimed.
I have seen many people fail to realize (and sometimes to understand at all) that taking measurements of large numbers of people is always fraught with errors of all sorts. No matter how hard you try, it is like the universe always pushes back to make sure the data are imperfect. Sometimes those imperfections are acceptably small, and other times the imperfections are uncomfortably large.

In my opinion, anyone involved in such large-scale data collection and analysis should acknowledge the inevitability of error and provide disclaimers about potential sources of error.

I agree.

Sure, nobody says you have to use their software. But don't claim that they don't give back or that it's purposeless.
Broadly, the New York default is a departure from the historical norm, and the debtor/creditor "exception" is a return to it. The historical view is that the error is the payor's; they're the ones that should bear the burden.

There's also a value to finality. Particularly given that we didn't have instant or even next-day transactions when these laws were written, allowing a creditor to move on with their lives once the debt seemed to have been repaid makes sense. And not having an exception would allow debtors to pay their debt and then reconstitute it days later if they changed their mind. Having this rule reduces the prevalence of that and the corresponding costs.
"As a general rule, analogies between personal finance and government finance don’t work very well. It feels intuitive, but governments can do things you cannot."

Can we - all of us - graduate a bit in our sophistication here ?

I agree with your statement and don't need any of this explained to me - there is, in fact, a too-simplistic, oft-made analog to personal, household finances. People would do well to understand what governments (particularly sovereign issuers borrowing in their own currency) can do that they, in their household, cannot.

Yet at the same time, I grow tired of the pedantic scolding of the "dummies" that don't understand modern finance.

I - a relatively sophisticated, learned observer - have a hunch that at the very margins government finance collapses all the way back down to the simple rules of household finance.

I hope to never be vindicated in this hunch ...

In this case - the creditors all expected it was likely that Revlon would default on the loans and never pay them back in full (let alone interest). And there were active lawsuits between the creditors and Revlon regarding financial maneuvering Revlon was doing around these loans that would make it even less likely.
It is also worth noting that Raj wasn't alone in the confusion on how to perform this task. Before he could complete the transfer his boss in India also had to look at what Raj did. Then their boss in Deleware also approved the transaction.

"We" do not owe "ourselves." Governments, businesses, and individuals owe other individuals, banks, and governments.

What is the worst that can happen? A government defaults on its debts, and then cannot secure the loans needed for some other very important work. Large numbers of defaults will cause interest rates to rise, and everyone suffers as a result. The "contagion" effect is also possible: a bank sees too many defaults from its clients, and then finds itself unable to repay its own loans, triggering more defaults elsewhere.

If the obvious answer is, "Can't we just forgive the debt," the answer is, "Sure, but we need to be careful." Forgiving all debt would break the markets, because it would remove the negative consequences of investing in bad ideas. Sometimes a business has to be allowed to fail. So the better answer is that central banks would have to buy some of the bad debt, just enough to prevent a cascade of defaults and other worst-case scenarios, but leave creditors holding enough bad debt to feel some "pain" when the defaults happen (in some cases, allowing creditors to fail entirely -- as long as it is not too many too quickly).

> Most of it is government debt

No, it’s mostly private sector debt.

Read further down in the article to where the author separates out government debt, which is less than 1/3 of the total.

Also, you’ve misunderstood the purpose of cheap debt. If the debt encourages growth, the denominator of the debt to GDP ratio increases and the percentage goes down. It’s not a perfect instrument, but it’s simply not true that creative people are flipping government debt into risk-free interest accruing assets elsewhere. It has to be invested to outdo government interest rates. That’s the entire point.

To be clear, the entire $500 million isn't lost yet. Citi will need to carry the loan itself for Revlon, so the money didn't evaporate. The cost will be the admin overhead, the reputation loss from the event, and the cost for having to carry the loan into the future (or not, if Citi can find a way to securitize it out).

If Revlon defaults on the loan entirely, then the money evaporates.

How does UDP work for broadcasting audio? I can understand UDP from a speaker's phone to a CH server, but how would UDP packets be sent to thousands of listeners, many of them hidden in NATs?

What would be a better architecture? If I had to build this I'm thinking a fleet of Phoenix/Erlang servers accepting websocket connections and distributed-ly broadcasting each packet over them, think there's some WebRTC tools for this.

Any better ideas? Go with memberlist UDP transmission maybe?
This is correct. When I was at Allstate they had a 'labs' team to come up with innovative new technology. They were the only ones with standing desks, treadmill desks, bicycle desks, and over two years the only thing they accomplished was design a phone holder for a bicycle.

They had much greater success using Kaggle for data science competitions in terms of innovation.
