Why? Why should the stock market be further de-risked? Why should the government's poor impulse control be encouraged? Why should mistakes be criminalized?

You see the same pattern of behavior with the IRS, where they've determined it's easier to go after individuals committing tax offenses rather than massive corporations.
They can't regulate bitcoin but they sure can discourage investors from putting in billions into Bitcoin. Considering that the growth story is based around those future investors it would be pretty bad news for Bitcoin if that flow of investors suddenly stopped.
I hadn't even considered those. It would be interesting to see how confused Telsa FSD got when confronted by something like that.
The world doesn't work in idealized ways. Yes, perhaps ideally self-driving cars would need to be nearly perfect in order to win wide public acceptance. At the same time there was an article on the front page today investigating literal gulag labor camps in the USA, and I doubt those are popular or going away any time soon. Once this is working technology that can turn a profit, it will depend on who stands to gain, how deep their pockets are, who gets bribed, which talking points get pushed, and which votes get bought. Whether the public ends up particularly happy about the outcome is at best, secondary, and at worst, irrelevant. Don't think I've run into too many people happy about our healthcare system, yet that remains stubbornly broken. No one I've met really wanted to lose our lower-middle class to China, yet there it went.

There's no way half the loans in a portfolio are fraudulent, and that doesn't get noticed. That includes by the Wall Street firms that are repackaging and securitizing them as CDOs and CDSs. At some point, in a functioning system, that does attract the attention of the CEO.

The message that was drilled into people during the financial crisis was: punishing people for these actions would stifle innovation and risk taking in the financial services, which could threaten US financial hegemony.

Excerpt from article:

A handful of investors and Wall Street traders, however, anticipated the crisis. In 2006, Wall Street had introduced a new index, called the ABX, that became a way to invest in the direction of mortgage securities. The index allowed traders to bet on or against pools of mortgages with different risk characteristics, just as stock indexes enable traders to bet on whether the overall stock market, or technology stocks or bank stocks, will go up or down.

Goldman, among others on Wall Street, has said since the collapse that it made big money by using the ABX to bet against the housing market. Worried about a housing bubble, top Goldman executives decided in December 2006 to change the firm’s overall stance on the mortgage market, from positive to negative, though it did not disclose that publicly.

Even before then, however, pockets of the investment bank had also started using C.D.O.’s to place bets against mortgage securities, in some cases to hedge the firm’s mortgage investments, as protection against a fall in housing prices and an increase in defaults.

Mr. Egol was a prime mover behind these securities.
So true, and a revealing insight into US healthcare! The vast majority actually goes toward hospital room and board, with a fraction of the cost for the ECG monitoring. This is why insurers are keen to reimburse an out-of-hospital alternative
If you payed attention and believed in HN, you would've invested in:

AMD, Square, Cloudflare, Fiverr, Apple, Nvidia, TSM, Twilio, CrowdStrike, Zoom, Atlassian, Moderna, and Shopify.

Maybe a 5 year 500% return compared to the general market's 100%?

I'd say your fat stacks of $ would have you believing it's a pretty good predictor of something.
Personally I dont like LA sunshine every day of the year but agreed lots of people do and there are few places in the world with a climate like that.

BTRFS has volumes/subvolumes while ZFS has pools/filesystems. I suspect they have considerably different implementations but the userspace implications are similar.
What do you charge them with? They were effectively lied to about the underlying assets that went into the securities.
There are "businesses" that have communities, and want to own/manage them. Discord works much better than Slack as a platform for "official" managed open-membership communities; it's seemingly a use-case the Discord staff have put a lot of thought into.

Think: every content-creator or streamer.

But also: regular corporations that provide platform services that people build their own stuff on top of, such that people want to talk to each-other about the service rather than just talking to the corporation about the service. (The sort of thing you used to stand up a hosted forum for.)

The focus on whether specific crimes were or were not committed is weird to me — as if people from these companies didn't help write the laws that are supposed to regulate this stuff in the first place.

These people gambled with the economy, lost trillions of dollars and destroyed the lives and savings of millions of people… and then got bailed out by the federal government. Who cares whether they committed specific crimes? The issue is the "heads we win, tails you lose" system, in which if you're wealthy enough you can break the world economy and get rewarded for it.
Lehman Brothers, a bank founded in 1847 and the very epitome of investment bank, went out of business and was not bailed out due to the 2008 events.
Well, what really matters in finance are the financials. What is the cash back % on this card, and do they have effectively a revolving loan, like my Amex and Chase cards?
I'm a bit surprised by how negative a view HN has towards human adoption of technology.

What technology is perfect? What code is perfect and doesn't have bugs in it? And yet we adopt automated systems anyway. Yes, sometimes it is painful and an entire airline grounds all planes for half a day... But that doesn't stop the unending march towards efficiency and technological progress.
Then the repo might be dead because of that. I don't think people are (or should be) necessarily making assessments as to the reasoning of the admins without evidence, and there's a bunch of reasons why they might not be able to participate for a few months or even ever again, but if they are unavailable for a few months and nobody can even explain why, the end result is functionally the same if they're the only ones with the keys to the kingdom, which is that it's dead until something changes.
The reason for Discord over Slack, BTW is voice & video. Otherwise Slack is working great.

Yes. But possibly not in the way you were thinking of.

Waayyy back when I was still very much a green-horn / fledgling I was in charge of a revenue processing department that consisted of a whole bunch of AS400 batch queries (CSV output of course) that was imported in to Excel using various macros which also had various macros and look-up tables that processed and presented the data in an easy for users to edit format. Once they were done updating their figures all they had to do was hit a button that then exported that unholy mess in to a MS-Access DB (shudders... yeah, I know).

Anyway - For {$reason} I decided to write some code (functions were distributed between a mixture of VB, VBA and a few batch files) that would look for any numeric field and multiply the value by a very small random amount. It was very basic but used the day of the week to decide on how many fields to look for/update (Monday = 1 field, Tuesday = 2 different fields etc). Sometimes the random multiplication rounded the field value up, other times downwards, some times it made no difference. (And yes, I grew up on a diet of 80's movies about hackers and was heavily inspired by them. Side note - Office Space is a good one to watch).

Because the changes were so small and so random it wasn't picked up until their annual financial audit. By that stage the back-ups were useless.

Do I feel guilty? Yes.
Would I do something like that ever again? I hope not. But Anon for obvious reasons.
This kinda sucks for all parties involved.

1. Funds from an individual Coinbase account are transferred off of Coinbase onto another Bitcoin wallet.

2. The owner of the Coinbase account claims they were hacked.

Obviously I like the idea of Coinbase making account holders whole, but that creates a moral hazard and also incentivizes account holders to commit fraud themselves. What if I give my friend my credentials and he drains my account? On the other hand if I lost money on Coinbase I would be complaining all the way until I got my money back.

There are controls that can minimize damages but sacrifice usability (make withdrawals whitelist only etc). I think they have a "Vault" product that has multi-sig and time-delay options for users.

Reminder to use hardware multi-factor (like yubikey) if you own a lot of cryptocurrency on an exchange. An authenticator app is the next best option.
If you think governments can't simply legislate away people's freedom to drive in the service of corporate profits or what's "best for them", you haven't read the news lately.
Thanks for the answer!

I got the query wrong (reason: https://twitter.com/vrandezo/status/1430206988177219593 )

Here's the corrected query:
https://w.wiki/3x8u

This includes a few more thousand results.

AKG does show up (but has indeed no connection to Anguganak), ALZ shows up (again, without a connection to a city). Article pages are not a requirement for the data to be in Wikidata.

I see your point. The duplicate entries can often be explained (e.g. ABQ is indeed the IANA code both for Albuqerque Sunport and the Kirtland AF Base, which are adjacent to each other), but that's already a lot of detail.

If a single table provides the form of clean data one is looking for, that's great and should be used (and slightly different than the original question that triggered this, where we had to go through many different pages and fuse data from thousands of pages together). Different tasks benefit from different inputs!
a good book to read about this lack of prosecution is called "the chickenshit club" by Jesse Eisinger. In it the author explores prosecution paralysis brought on by a fear of destabilizing markets, and that this fear ultimately led to fines being preferred over jailtime. it also dives into the revolving door between prosecutors of these organizations and the organizations themselves, and the fact that no prosecutor wants a losing case on their record as it may adversely affect their chance of career success.

Its also interesting to note from the book that a CEO fired from a company and indicted may continue to receive payments or parachutes from that company in order to fight government charges and keep quiet about improprieties, whereas other types of criminals see all assets frozen upon such criminal proceedings.
So essentially, Delta+ will require a completely separate vaccine?
The government pooling resources (collected from the people) to control an industry (either by mandate or by providing an option that out-competes the private sector) for the benefit of the people is socialism. An industry collapsing and telling the government "give us money with no strings attached or we'll take the economy down with us" is a hostage crisis.
Yep, I agree about limited industry but it does work in that respect. I see it used a lot for content creators as a way to organize and tier out their fans as well.
If you have nothing, you bought nothing.

But I am talking about the people selling (governments controlling taxation on the land).

There is a pretty clear line between innovation, risk taking, and fraud. Intent can be shown based on firms' internal positions and emails (e.g., Goldman Sachs was internally short these products and make a lot of money both by selling the bad products, and then again on their bet against the products.: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/24/business/24trading.html)

They were taking toxic waste, putting it into cleanly packaged securities, and selling them to pension funds and others who then lost over a $1B: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-goldmansachs-abacus-factb...

The Linux file interface was not designed for subvolumes to masquerade as directories.

The correct course of action would have been for Linus to not allow btrfs into mainline with such an interface. Each subvolume should have been seperately mounted, or the stat interface should have been extended to make subvolumes first class.
I'm not even sure it was a lot of marketing, for the new generation, it's just what they needed, chat+voice+screen on a html5/css3 visual language.

I despise discord quite a lot btw :)
Discord ate the market because it is free and good enough voice quality. Before that everyone was paying for voice server hosting or doing it themselves. Is that smart marketing or just the standard operating procedure for startups around that time?
I've found the same thing. Learning design and architecture really helps. Also, reading books from authors that have been around for a long time helps impart knowledge that isn't so ephemeral.

Learning functional programming has helped as well. Not that the language I'm learning is so much better than anything else but that it introduces me to new ways of solving problems.

I also want to invest in my writing. Good documentation is becoming more valuable to me as I age.
We are accustomed to their predictions being shaky.
It always cracks me up seeing the echo chamber criticism of reddit here. Like are you serious? Reddit is a cesspool but it is a utopia of free speech compared to HN.
how exactly is this not using taxpayer money? It carried a ton of risk and likelyhood said companies would default and the money would never have been repaid.
I wouldn't even try to use AutoPilot for this reason. I'd fall deep asleep if I wasn't actually steering the car.

I get active cruise control. I don't get lane assist. Doesn't everyone else's mind just perform steering pretty much without thought anyway.
It's despicable that there's so little competition in the banking space that banks feel comfortable doing this. And the hypocrisy of JP Morgan having the audacity to moralize about sex, when their Wikipedia page looks like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPMorgan_Chase#Controversies

It seem we are at risk of a new Hayes code, courtesy of our corporate overlords. Will they also be banning violence and gore, I wonder, or is that okay?

I don't think it's easy to beat the mean human driver and to demonstrate with solid data that you've done so.

In 2019 in California, there were 1.06 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. Any self-driving automobile technology that doesn't have at least 1 billion vehicle miles of data is in no position to claim that it is safer than human drivers and less likely to kill people.

Self driving cars don't make the same kinds of mistakes as human drivers do, but they make different kinds of mistakes. Some of these can be fatal.
I often hear people suggest that the internet couldn't exist without corporate interests and surveillance capitalism.
usually along the lines of "If there were no ads, we wouldn't have any internet at all!"

That's an example of what corporate interests have brainwashed people into thinking. They didn't have to turn us against IRC. Most internet users don't even know it exists.
this seems to be missing an important part of the headline
Yeah, almost all the poor people in this video are living in a sort of hell. They are not really on the same plane of perceived reality as non-addicted people.
but income taxes have continued to fall in spite of such bailouts, suggesting that no one actually had to pay for it. It was not anyone's money but rather printed off with 0 percent yielding bonds. The huge post-2009 bull market and economic expansion in hindsight makes the bailouts one of the most successful govt. programs ever even if maligned.
> A risk is not a "loss" in a hypothetical amount of money that maybe could be had in the future given market conditions which are not predictable.

This is incorrect. It is very common for investors (yes, including commercial banks) to frame risk in the way I described. This link to investopedia will expound upon my admittedly short description of interest rate risk [1]. Another obvious risk in this context is prepayment risk [2]. Note that both of these risk models are not about whether or not the bank is losing the money used to pay for the home, but are about factors that could affect the return on investment. You can find even more examples of risk models exactly like this on investopedia.

I'm sure you know this but a broker-dealer (which is what we're primarily talking about in the context of Wall St banks) doesn't have a fiduciary duty to their counterparty.
Selling bad assets isn’t illegal. I worked for a startup. After seeing how the sausage was made I knew they were a bad company. When they IPO’ed I sold all shares as soon as the lockup hit. They have yet to exceed the price I sold at. Should I be in jail for selling what I knew was a crappy, over-valued company?

(Mind you I had no MNPI as I hadn’t worked there for 6 years.)
Counterpoint - nobody actually cares about traffic fatalities. Nearly 40,000 deaths a year in the US, and the majority of people get in their cars every day without ever thinking about this risk and go about their lives (or to put that another way, the risks are already so low as to be negligible to most people, and anything else within the ballpark of negligible is still negligible). Normalcy bias is incredibly strong and as soon as self-driving cars are "normal" people will get on board without thinking twice. Tesla is slowly acclimating people to self-driving, basically everyone is familiar with the idea at this point, and as soon as it's available and someone tells you it's "just as safe as driving yourself", most people will just go with it. Especially given how big the upside is - you don't have to deal with the stress of driving anymore, you can just relax in your car. Or in terms of getting a ride, maybe it's 1/4 the price of a taxi driven by a human. Sounds good, people will roll with it.

Of course the more it starts taking off, there will always be a vocal subset of the population that is strongly opposed to it, just like there are vocal anti-vaxxer groups and there were anti-seatbelt protests back in the 80's. But I can't imagine the naysayers having a very big impact on the progression of the technology, the upsides are just too enormous.
This is arguing that because humans are stupid and biased, they will believe they are better drivers despite all the evidence to the contrary, and therefore, a solution needs to be close to perfect so that humans stop being fearful.

We have seen this before with autopilots in aircraft and ship, elevator operators and so on.

All it needs is time and adoption, not perfection, and as adoption increases, the roads get safer and safer, bringing us closer to the ideal, and as time increases, the closer we get to adoption.
