> Why do they still owe $8M if the loan was changed to $4M?

The loan wasn't changed to $4M, the appraisal of the property was. They bank already paid the $8M to the previous owner (and their bank), but if it gets revalued, then the bank only has $4M of collateral against an $8M loan and starts looking for that lost money.
You'll pay for those luggage carts, either through the fees the airport charges via the ticket, through taxes making everything slightly more expensive at your destination country or by charging you directly.
I think the lawsuit might come, if the local government switched to facebook in lieu of all other options. Right now, at least where I am, they have to provide freely accessible info ... even if I have to drive to the town hall to get it.

But if they said, instead, "We don't print on paper any more, it's all on facebook", then I think a lawsuit could happen, and win.

Of course, you weren't replying to that. I just have seen, however, leanings in that direction here and there, so it's worth noting.
>You have to understand, people are freezing to death after sleeping raw because they have no shelter.

I assume you understand the reasons there are people who live in an apartment on disability without working, but others are homeless. You may want to spell it out to make sure we are on the same page.

I'm wondering if you are drawing on specific personal experience and think you understand the crux of the problem. Could you state it if so.

>People are dying because they can't afford medical bills.

Which implies that EMTALA, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, etc. are insufficient, so do you have a specific gap and/or thing to fill the gap in mind?

>It's worth asking ourselves if we're really doing the right thing.

Saying that to a random person on the internet kind of implies you don't think most people ask themselves that all the time.

I'm inclined to assume virtually everyone does.

Retraining is largely (ie. 99%) a fantasy in the US for older workers. Career counsellors generally try to get them on long-term disability rather than blow smoke up their ass.
GitHub Copilot strikes again.
I feel like you re not hearing my question -- I asked, "I have a modern app written in C or Python,[...] what are my options" and you are telling me to use NaCl, with last stable release in 2015. Even if NaCl was a good option (it was not), it is still discontinued.

So let me ask again, are there any modern options for library isolation, something I can actually download and link to a C program? Something with github page I can visit and download the code, and a community that can support/answer questions? And if such thing exists, is this easier to use than your favorite IPC system?

-----

Re NaCl:

NaCL definitely requires some kind kind of serialization/deserialization code. The paper [0] is pretty clear that NaCl-isolated code lives in a separate process (see Figure 1, and section 2) and can only communicate over IMC, which uses "datagrams consisting of untyped byte arrays along with optional NaCl Resource Descriptors”. And you need serialization to send over untyped byte arrays. Moreover, at the end of section 2, the paper says: "It is not appropriate for modules requiring process creation, direct file system access, or unrestricted access to the network"... which rules out a lot of the interesting libraries.

Better yet is for the government to not even know the data existed, non? (Of course, you'd better make damn sure that they had no way of knowing before.)

I really enjoyed this read. I’ve been grinding for so long in the huge corporation version of agile that I don’t even know what is what anymore.

It was refreshing to hear their take on project managers, as it matches how I’ve been feeling recently. They schedule 7 checkpoint meetings per week and I’ve given up on attending, I just can’t do it anymore.

I hope that we can move past agile into a new world that is free of the baggage and process of yesteryear. Even if the core principles are the same, let’s call it something different so we can start fresh and impress upper management.

Low-level drone with 8 different bosses here.

I hate being micro managed as much as the next guy, but I've also had way too many coworkers over the past decade who can't seem to just sit down and get the job done. They fiddle and tinker and explore way too much. It's helpful to do that at times but many lack the discipline to produce software without a PM to answer to. I wish it were different, but it isn't.

My current PM is great and if I found out the management wanted to get rid of him, I'd vouch him and go to war if I had to. Good PMs are indispensable, in my opinion.

I'm in Auckland, and there's no Apple Store in New Zealand. The $600 price is in NZD, too, which means $418 USD.

It's not possible to replace only the battery - an AASP will replace the whole top case. I also think it's more expensive for older models, because the parts are not easy to find for a 2014 computer.
Playing around with automatically accessing Facebook from the command line using netcat, without a browser, I found it is quite easy to "mirror" a Facebook page to a local HTML file. A simple shell script rewrites the HTML into a simple page with no Javascript, suitable for a text-only browser. I see no reason one could not mirror a Facebook page in this way to a web server on the open internet.

The reason I created this is that I did not want to keep opening up a graphical web browser to check Notifications. I can also "follow" any page I want, directly, without relying on FB's algorithms which selectively hide or show certain items to maximise advertising or whatever sort of user manpiulation they are trying to pull off at the moment.

I can create a "manual feed", so to speak.
Can you explain how Razor is dynamic? Do you have an example? Last I used Razor, you defined the statically-typed model at the start of the file then had strongly typed references throughout the page.
If your team is led by a manager, then it is solving a management problem, and if your team is lead by an engineer, then it is solving an engineering problem. Managers are not good at solving engineering problems, and managers can and will fill management-shaped holes with engineers until everyone is either burnt out or checked out.
To put that in different context, 400 Billion is about 4x as much as the federal government spends on education. It is about 15x what we spend on energy infrastructure.

400 billion is a 2% of GDP but >10% of the federal budget.

I can only assume YouTube views such ads as merely part of their recommendation engine and, thus, quite different from "third party" adverts.

False equivalence how? AWS's offering isn't better, it's just expensive.

1. What a rude way to interpret what I said. I don't have a preference between different options to deliver data that all work fine. I'm interested to know what happens, but it doesn't affect my purchasing.

2. Nothing you've said backs up the idea of this being "snake oil". They're not making any promises about amazing products that can't be delivered. They're just asking for a price change on an existing product. That doesn't even resemble snake oil.

First of all, not everything is an "argument." How about a discussion? I'm not interested in an argument.

It's interesting that there's no calculus on the gaokao. It's an elective in high school (same as the US). I wouldn't have guessed that. However, some very basic linear algebra does seem to be in the compulsory high school math curriculum(1). More than I learned in high school in the US, anyways.

Also, generally the private schools are considered worse options. The elite students with the highest middle school test scores mostly go to public high schools. Maybe students at the private high schools are more likely to go overseas, and so they are more likely to take the calculus electives. But even among the private school students, only a small percentage will go overseas.

For the vocational school thing, I had no idea it was so extensive. Very interesting. I knew about sports high schools, where most of the graduates go on to teacher colleges and become PE teachers. What other kinds of vocational high schools are there? How does it work for smaller cities - how many special types of vocational school can they really support?

I hope that's mostly just an American tribal thing. I'm pro-vaccine, pro-ivermectin, pro-masks and pro-lockdowns. This is a serious disease and we need to use all the tools at our disposal. Being anti-ivermectin is like being anti-aspirin or anti-vitamin-C. Maybe you're emitting some kind of political virtue signal, but it's almost (but not quite) as dumb as being anti-vax. We don't have RCTs on vitamin C vs COVID-19 but most practitioners use it anyways.
Been a happy Fastmail customer for years now and it's been smooth sailing the whole time (using custom domains and everything). No issues whatssoever.

But yeah, Australia is not... Optimal, privacy wise. Poor data laws and member of the Five Eyes network will probably force me, finally, to switch to a new service (probably Proton mail) at the end of the next yearly renewal :(

Edit: just remembered there's been a couple of incidents with poor security practices, in the past, with fastmail (easy to google) that doesn't look flattering.

And I think (?) there's been some issues with spoofed email going around/originated within fastmail's internal network:

"Fastmail domains have a DMARC policy of none, which means recipient mail servers should report whether the message passes or not, but not change deliverability. This allows users to send mail using our domains from anywhere, for legacy reasons."

From the final section on https://www.fastmail.com/help/technical/senderauthentication.... I think this was abused?

It’s a very nice article. I’ve not seen agile done as originally visioned. Usually because the VP Engineering (or equivalent) and down wants to do it but the rest of the business isn’t interested.

Also the pattern I’ve seen is over time businesses want more and more fine grained control over the engineering process, as if treating the team like replaceable workers doing well defined tasks (like Ray Croc I guess) leads to more efficiency.

This doesn’t work when the burger and chips has zero cost of replication and your staff are not frying and serving chips, they are inventing new cuisines every day.
My experience at Amazon Google and now Pixielabs tell a different story, all the points proclaimed in the agile manifesto are the desired states of daily work. People are speaking in the same or similar mental framework of building software, which is fully embodiment of the manifesto, or at least it's spirit.
I'm kind of at a loss at the route Youtube is taking. Not just with their obnoxious ads, but also them pushing shorts so hard. Like someone else commented you can use youtube-dl. On Android NewPipe (https://newpipe.net/) works with it. And as for the shorts... I ended up blocking the Youtube app on my phone (can't uninstall it..), those shorts just aren't good for the social media addiction I am trying to beat.
On mobile, I have had success with using Firefox, ublock origin and privacy badger making for a reasonable (for me) mobile YouTube experience.
This is how revolutionary Marxism functions. Nobody knows what the hell Marx wrote in those books, or what any of it means, but it cannot be argued in communist regimes that there is a system in place, and that the vanguard knows whats best. Replace Marxism with Agile, communist regimes with corporation, and vanguard with management, and you have the recipe for soulless employment.
Is that fundamentally different from the question of whether overwriting data can make it unreadable? If yes then you can eventually make the "last data" unrecoverable by overwriting it. And if no then presumably you can recover anything previously written to the disk, ergo infinite capacity.

Many nations have compulsory military service for up to one year: Brazil, Estonia, France, Greece, Qatar, Sweden, and Turkey

Nations that require one year of military service include: Algeria, Bolivia, Colombia, Guatemala, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Paraguay, Russia, Taiwan, Tunisia, and Uzbekistan.

Several nations require military service of no more than 18 months: Azerbaijan, Belarus, Benin, Cambodia, Cote d’Ivoire, Cyprus, Egypt, Georgia, Kuwait, Laos, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates.

All of them aught to preclude you from US citizenship or dual citizenship status with the US.

Just to add: a receiver of "Hartz IV" long-term unemployment in Germany can earn an income of 100 EUR/month tax-free, with an 80% marginal tax rate for the next iirc ~700 EUR, due to unemployment benefits going down accordingly (think as if that tax was automatically deducted from your benefits).

This is why Agile has a love hate relationship with the engineering public. For some engineers its a hindrance to dedicated work. For other engineers, they have the realism to see that many programmers need direction and direct feedback to be profitable for their companies.

The going rate on prepaid in my country these days is €20 for unlimited data[1][2], which, while not $10, is totally in kid lunch money range.

Prepaid tends to be cheaper in Ireland. Because postpaid is theoretically subsidising your phone and even sim only plans tend to get price shopped around against phone included plans. The cheapest postpaid plan with unlimited data is €30/month without a phone or €55/month with a phone [3][4]

I'm not an expert on this subject, but I feel like "agile" could be summarized as "a process for actively incorporating feedback early and often".

That doesn't mean you need points or tshirt sizes or constant status meetings. You just need channels of communication with the right people and a chance to adapt to what they say.

And the way those online education companies are advertising should be simply illegal. Usually advertisements should bring positivity, showcasing the benefits of the products. But in this case, they broadcasting negativity and anxiety to parents, blatantly sending the message that if they don't sign up the courses, their kids would be left behind and have no future. And ofc, they would be happily using the collected money to create more demand, namely even more anxiety.

What those education commolergqates are doing is to drain resources from public service, and reprice them on private market. CCP is playing CCP here, but this crackdown is objectively a good thing for everyone, except the investors.
