the problem is that there is already a system for loan forgiveness / student redress.

its called the court system

if there is fault, that's the way to adjudicate. The extent that the govt is making that more difficult (not encouraging class action due to no regulation in place), then that should be done . Everything else is risky precedent
Many of the same people listed also worked on Thief and Thief 2, still my favourite games of the genre - and probably favourite PC games period.

The Thief story is much more structured, less driven by dropped notes - and there are no interactive conversations - but the cutscenes are fairly well done, the sound design amazing - the Brosius's work - and the character you play is very well drawn, a cynical reluctant antihero.
That's very meta and not very relevant to the question of who should repay some specific debt.
RNA can fold up and get stuck to other sequences. Using that as a trigger isn't out of the question.
The approval rate for other types of debt are lower. Getting a house loan at 22 is not easy and there is a physical thing to repo in that case.

Theory is not trustworthy. Here in Iran, we have had extreme protectionist policies for decades in, e.g., cars, and all it has done is made the car factory owners rich while car quality stagnates and regresses, and prices keep rising.
> But this isn’t about forgiving student loans where someone has been harmed. It’s about forgiving student loans where someone has been the victim of fraud.

This is a good point, however my take is that if what you're saying is true (and I believe it is) - there is less reason to forgive the debt.

There already exists mechanisms to take assets from the institution that caused the harm, liquidate and compensate those who have been harmed.

Is it necessary to unilaterally forgive the debt? Maybe (I'm not sure myself as I mentioned in the OP).
I'm sure the IRS can figure out a way to keep people interested. We already get a deduction for interest so I'm sure they can incentivize repayment.
> Have humans lost the ability to tolerate the knowledge that someone, somewhere, may disagree with them?

Maybe the majority never had it. That's what I've been thinking recently. In the past, a person could mold themselves to a much more static community. A person that grew up in a Presbytarian community would not much interact with a Muslim family and vice versa. It's also much easier for a person so sensitive of disagreement to delude themselves that all their friends and neighbors were basically of the same mind on serious political/moral issues in meat space. Essentially, the past had naturally occurring filter bubbles.

The Christian social conservatism you recall of the 80s and earlier were people that were pissed about control of mass culture dominated by cosmopolitan urbanites, but they had their own parallel culture to an extent. With smartphones, everyone is suddenly in each others face and I think it's broken the brains of some of the people that never comprehended that level of social friction and disunity.

I've never found it reasonable to virtualize on Apple systems. Apple optimizes for security, specificity, and bubblegum usability.

Technical limitations aside, from a security perspective it is not a good idea to run servers on the same system that you write code from. I humbly suggest taking the time to push code to your dedicated Linux server, otherwise you might inadvertantly be putting your company out of compliance by exposing your dev system on any given network.
Array.from lets you build an array from an iterable source (often used in conjunction with `new Set` to eliminate duplicates), or in this case, of a fixed length.
> For example Margin Debt is at $800 billion...

Retail traders' margin debt is secured. However I agree the mechanics of margin debt has the ability to inflict colossal pain on normal people.

> let people take responsibility for their own actions...

The government already lost the money. The borrowers are already in default. They are never going to pay this money back. To put in perspective:

"Only 43% of public two-year college students, and 34% of for-profit college students who entered repayment on their loans in 2011 had paid even a dollar toward their loan principal after five years." (https://elizabethwarren.com/plans/student-loan-debt-day-one)

Is that relief? No. Is it stimulus? No. The lent money was spent long ago. You're not giving money to borrowers who are already in default. You are taking a number in a government spreadsheet, and making it smaller.

If you're going to do this fauxconomics dystoplican point of view, don't warble garbage about civilization and responsibility. Focus on the mechanics of what is actually happening.

Indeed, I would agree bailing people out from margin calls would significantly reduce harms, but on the other hand, that's totally politically untenable, and also actually expensive. Whereas forgiving debt that is already in default costs nothing.
And what's the danger here? If having to drive slowly makes you so angry you can't drive safely, you shouldn't be driving at all.

Neat. I have been a fan of Keyword arguments for a long time. Dylan does it well too.

I mostly didn't do this for my Clojure code, because I didn't want to use any of the libraries that do it. Simply because to many times there is an issue with libs like that in the long term and are hard to read.

You also run into an issue of how far to go, how about adding defaults, constraints and so on.

Having a simple standard way in Clojure core was something I hoped would happen in a long time.

The starting point for the US states is/was much closer than that of random countries around the world, to each other.

US states, despite what Americans tell themselves, are culturally/socially/economically a lot more homogeneous than random countries around the world are to each other.

And US states are all protected by the same federal government. None of them can really be abused by outside forces with little/no repercussion.

They really can't be compared (US states vs countries around the world).
There really should be a better way to map values. There are numerous functions in R for this, I believe there should be similar functions in Julia. Is that because Julia have good performance so people tend to write loop to deal with this kind of task? And call this hacking?

> I guess what you want can be done at compile time

Yes.

> but probably it's a lot more work

No, at least not if you want to limit yourself to arrays, this is a trivial thing for a compiler frontend to handle. For example, the parser could already translate the "iterator for" loop syntax into exactly the same representation as it would produce for the "counter for" loop syntax.

The javac compiler for java does this: It transforms loops over arrays using iterator syntax into "normal" counter loops. Loops using iterator syntax over non-arrays are compiled to use iterator objects.

This article is about COVID relief to Federal student loans repayment and interest rates. Her FFELP loans are effectively Federal even though they are owned by a private company because they are guaranteed by the Federal government. These are not private student loans though they are currently owned by a private company. So she can consolidate her way out of the situation I believe and then take advantage of the 0%.

She's asking for basic fairness for govt backed loans nothing more.
There is a closing window of opportunity to make bank creating machine-learning generated girls and a farm of onlyfans accounts. Plenty of young (and not-so-young) men are paying to simulate even the slightest semblance of a relationship with a member of the opposite sex. In 10 years or so when distinguishing fake from real will be almost impossible expect the value of those accounts to plummet and a return to more ancient forms of transacting beauty and sex for money.
Underwriters would be well aware of that so what this really means is that loans would only be given to students least likely to do this, which could amount to very few.
But sometimes that’s life when you are young. Making bad choices after bad choices.

The long term consequences end in 7 years, when the bankruptcy falls off your credit report.

That means that by 30 you'd be free and clear. Most people don't need much credit before then anyway: the median age of first time homebuyers is 33. You'd pay a lot more for a car loan or a credit card, but you don't really need either of those things either.
> In a large enough system, over a long enough time, even rare failure modes become inevitable.

Of course rare failures and loss of data do happen. There is no storage strategy that prevents these with certainty.

Data loss and performance degradation should be expected and designed for. Maybe RAID6 isn't cutting it for petabyte projects, but it is fine for vast majority of RAID users (small businesses, <12TB arrays).

I've noticed that special hardware and design requirements of the few largest operators are somehow proselytized as a standard that everybody should adopt. People just like to talk about how they understand the biggest deployments in the worlds and how that is the best practice for everybody. But for most users of RAID, these bigboy strategies are irrelevant. Arrays below 12TB are very common and work acceptably well with RAID5 / RAID6, and occasional stripe failure very often isn't a big deal for home users or small businesses.

> Higher areal density won't improve rebuild times unless internal transfer time is the bottleneck (it's not), and it very much does matter if rebuilds take a month.

Why? It matters only if running in degraded state poses performance/reliability problems to users. Which means the array wasn't designed with proper redundancy and performance in the first place. That is the problem, whether rebuild takes a day or a month. Large drives 100TB will be fine if enough of them is used in the array so it works well in degraded state. Also, most probably URE rate will go down due to better ECC measures with 100TB drives.
Still, the odds of the college bet became way too bad for too many degrees. I mean we are talking about a STEM subject (biology) and a masters in a subject that is directly related to a job (journalism), also with the added benefit of it being science journalism which needs people with her knowledge of sciences (biology). So, yes, it appears that there is a sense of responsibility that she should have (and she has it, she paid of 60k). But the more urgent question is structural: college does not pay off anymore (anecdata about CS etc. notwithstanding) and that has a lot to do with the jobs market but also that college inflation rose a multiple times that of general inflation in the last 30 years. We can blame individuals all we want (and feel good about it from afar) but that doesn't solve the structural problems.
A = Bob has $1M in bitcoin.
B = Bob can afford to lose $1M.

It appears to me you think P(B) = P(B|A). I think obviously P(B) < P(B|A).

How about:

A = Bob has $1M in bitcoin which he paid $100 for.
B = Bob has $1M in bitcoin which he paid $1M for.
C = Bob can afford to lose $1M.

It appears to me you believe P(C|A) = P(C|B) = P(C). I'd expect P(C|A) > P(C|B).

> I don’t even see how you would do it in Python without modifying the standard library or reimplementing significant chunks of cmath.py or fractions.py

If I understand the problem correctly, and you are trying to implement Gaussian Rationals, you’d inherit from numbers.Complex, storing the real and imaginary parts as instances of numbers.Rational (you could use the concrete fractions.Fraction, but I don’t think you actually would need to reference the concrete type to do the implementation.)

There’s a bit of boilerplate isinstance-stuff implementing the operations, which is somewhat tedious, but not difficult (I think its less involved than the custom integral class used as an example in the numbers module documentation, because you should be able to get by only handling same-class, Rational, and Complex cases for most ops.

> One big use case where it doesn’t apply is numpy arrays or pytorch tensors.

Good point. It is not one I’ve hit a lot because of the stuff most of python code use is on doesn’t hit those, but I’ve seen that.

Yeah, I think this was executed wrongly (allowing the schools who originated the debt to profit and escape unaccountable).

I was specifically responding to the 'generally' aspect of the comment, where I think 'generally' debt forgiveness can be a very useful concept, and good for society.

Governments don't seem to mind inflating their currency sometimes which is (if denominated in their own) essentially forgiving themselves of debt ;)
As someone who used to work in real estate finance law, definitely can see the value. It's always been an incredibly manual, hands-on, and time-consuming process, which means as a result, it's error prone and expensive. Resources get diverted to focus on reporting vs more impactful work. Plus, there's so much valuable data that gets lost through the manual process—and that's why so many fintech and legaltech companies capturing that data (and corresponding insights) are having their renaissance.

There's so much opportunity in the finance space to modernize these processes that have always existed because "that's the way things are done." Glad you are changing the status quo. This is a diamond in the rough and can't wait to see how your team takes it on.
Best of luck!

As a short aside, the #1 thing about your game to worry about is "the main gameplay loop", even if its story based, the thing your player does over and over again should be fun. Yahtzee Croshaw does some great game element breakdowns, if you don't already know.

You can find recordings online of two of the devs livestreaming the game. They got asked by a fan, 'what were some features you loved but ultimately had to cut out?' Response was along the lines of 'I mean, look around, do you think we cut anything out?'

They definitely seemed to think of that as a failing on their part, but it's IMO a big part of why the game is still engaging nowadays.

> Fraud is a well-defined crime.

Criminal fraud is a thing, but the sense of “fraud” here is more related to the tort than the crime; the latter is much narrower, though both are well-defined.
There's plenty to worry about with deepfakes. They enable what amounts to a man-in-the-middle attack in real life. Imagine an AI able to break into the conversation and maintain two different communication threads with each party.

Imagine what happens when you present someone with the voice and/or image of their loved one and pitch a product, plant an idea, or execute fraud? What happens when an emotionally unstable person is harassed by the voice of their lover or even a deceased relative.

Now imagine that you could rent some computing power and perform a million of those frauds in parallel. Psychological warfare will never be the same.

I had heard of Pluto notebooks but didn't know that they were truly different. The elevator pitch seems to be

Pluto: Jupyter without hidden state.

I can't wait to try it out. I did my thesis work in Julia ~5 years ago but abandoned it afterwards precisely because state management was so painful. At that time, Julia took 30 seconds to start (compile the plotting library), so you basically had to use live sessions, and they had all the usual stateful foot-guns, which made for a very painful overall experience. Performance was still pretty rough last time I tried it (build caching on the libraries didn't happen on install and even post-install wasn't Just Working), but Pluto sounds like a strong enough mitigation to be worth a try!
Any way to get a refund had the student actually paid back the loans, but still felt like a victim? That nonsense set me back several years financially, I managed to claw myself out tooth and nail. It sucked.
The most common type of loan a 22 year old would have is likely a credit card. Credit cards are unsecured loans. It's not unheard of to hear of people with tens of thousands of credit card debt that then go to bankruptcy.

Unsecured loans aren't new.

First, thank you so much for this! I hate these things.

However answering these questions without nuance and context can at best cause a lot more back and forth between company and vendor, and at worse kill the deal immediately. Example:

Bad way, no context: Do you have external certification for HIPPA/PCI compliance: No.

Better way: Do you have external certification for HIPPA/PCI compliance: No, because product does not collect, store, or process health data or payment card data.
