Whether it is the preshow pre-interview or the post editing decisions, interviews are hard to trust as well now.

I say this as someone that has been involved in all of it. However, the pre-interview is actually less about necessarily leading the interview but about helping the interview avoiding the dead air, blank stares, um, uhs, wells, type of stuff. Also, it is a great way to calm the nerves of those being interviewed if they are not normally in front of a camera which can be very intimidating to people telling a story they may already be nervous about. Trust me, you should be thankful for them.

It's the post editing decisions that you can really get yourself into trouble. You can totally make a sane person sound insane, or totally change the interview. Anything that is not live must be questioned in how much you trust the producers to actually allow the interview to go out as it was rather than chopped up to fit the producer's agenda. If I was to be interviewed, I would make part of my conditions to the interview being that I would be allowed to have my own camera/audio that could record uninterrupted to be able to counter any shenanigans in the edit bay.
Small problem with that.

Banks don't loan out deposits. Banks create deposits by issuing loans.

So to start a Bank you don't need any deposits, and in a negative interest rate environment you don't need to chase them. Deposits backed by 'cash' will automatically come to you in the backfill process (which is how the deposits created by loans can be used to pay people at other banks).

That's how negative interest rates stimulate loans.

It's pretty sad. People affected by this (Indians) have waited decades in line on temporary work visas for their priority date to become current. Many kids age out of the line and go back to F1 visa or probably just leave for Canada.

All because USCIS couldn't process paperwork on time.

Surprised by the lack of political will or even mainstream press attention to solve this issue.
Thanks I've been working in banks for 25 years now and have an accounting degree. JPM debt equity ratio is about 12. They're supposed to be highly leveraged, that is how banking works.

I built https://www.beatthatflight.com.au which works as a comparison flight/hotel search, as well as a deals finder website with an email subscription service. It's been incredible to see the changes on traffic, bookings and my revenue tanked 97% in April 2020 (good thing it's a side hustle) - Aussie centric website, so when the borders were closed, travel stopped.

The advantage of OTAs is you often can find cheaper hotels/flights than travel agents provide. However, some travel agents will then match or beat these prices.

The upside of a travel agent is when things go pearshaped. A lot of OTAs are based overseas and are (apparently) reluctant to deal with refunds/rebookings as readily, and you have to deal directly with them. Try speaking to the airline and they say 'oh you booked with an OTA, talk to them', and the OTA will say 'we're waiting to hear from the airline'. A travel agent will often do all this hunting/arguing for you, and can access Sabre/other GDSs to modify bookings themselves.

I've backpacked solo through most of the 'stans and South America. It's doable. But with a family, say? Or with a group of friends with fixed timelines (eg x weeks of annual leave) I'd be using a travel agent myself for some more adventurous travels.
This was a wild ride.

Makes sense. COVID vaccination credentials are a great example. The work done with SMART health credentials and vertical solutions like NY Excelsior Pass and Israel’s Greenpass pave the way.
Perfectionism is typically a defense mechanism of some sort. This post is trying to fix all the damaged fruit springing from the roots of perfectionism, like trying to stamp out every ant instead of killing the queen.

Sometimes you grew up in a family with a harsh & critical parent, or rewards for progress were minimal, so a spirit of "well done!" is absent. Or maybe you had a personal trauma and the striving is an attempt to avoid pain ever happening again. Or maybe your personal search for significance in life so strongly identifies with something that anything less than perfection in that area reflects badly on you. Or maybe you have shame in your past and you're trying hard to compensate.

Whatever it is, perfectionism is not "solved" with a blueprinted flowchart or life system but by digging deep into a wellspring of grace and worth. For those of us who are Christian, we believe in Jesus' work on the cross as our source of unlimited grace and forgiveness, believing that God has taken care of the perfection gap of our failures. For the rest of the world, well I don't have an answer for you except you may want to take a trip through Paul's letter to the Romans.
Doesn't that run counter to the idea of an independent judiciary?
Having a 250w motor does not mean the max speed is limited to 25km/h. A 250 motor on a bike can definitely go faster than that
Yes, yes, if my tuition was 100% free I would still need to take out loans to actually attend to school. My parents sure as fuck weren't giving me a living stipend and didn't have the time to work while classes were in session so my living expenses were mostly paid for by loans.
I love community colleges, and I've taught at them.

The solution for this problem is to make community college tuition zero. And build a lot more of them. Combine this with a reduction of government grants and student loans and we'll eliminate fraud and people getting into debt they can't pay--while still providing good education options for people without a lot of money.
>I see how that might seem super evil, but then again it's also totally consistent with how you should manage investments. If you made an outsized gain in one asset (eg. because you sat on DOGE from a few years ago and it went to the moon), you shouldn't sit on it.

This just seems like a massively sympathetic view to the company. It's rare for any corporation to distribute most, if not all, of a companies FCF to shareholders. For most public pharmaceutical companies that spending goes to R&D. Furthermore even if you call it "normal", then this kind of shareholder enrichment could be argued to be a gross mismanagement of company funds. Trying to paint this as "normal" is incredibly odd, especially when they call out future litigation as a reason to hoard cash.

>On September 8, 2014, Mortimer D. A. Sackler emailed Jonathan Sackler, stating
that there had been “a huge depreciation in [Purdue’s] bottom line and more importantly
shareholder value over the past 5+ years” and that Purdue was in a “death spiral.”

And despite what the letter of the law says, I can't imagine wanting to support such a system where once can knowingly poison middle America for decades and run away with profits. At the very least it's incredibly unpatriotic and does more to threaten American hegemony than any quagmire in the middle east. This isn't a case where they were just "diversifying" as good financial advice - they foresaw their litigation issues in 2008. The fact it took more than 10 years to get to the court has more to do with the slowness of our justice system rather than the Sackler's financial savvy.

Good intention still implies that the implementation allows for 'bias'. Prosecutorial bias, judicial bias.

Allowed bias is necessarely a bad thing, because that means bad behaviour can be hidden behind a shield of 'plausable deniability'.

I think any legal system that allows for prosecutorial and judicial discretion in anything that can lead to criminal charges, is destinet to become a system of entrapment over time.

I even have my own 'adage' to offer:

'A bad behaviour rewarded by sufficent increase economic or political power, will eventually corrupt and subvert any law that allows for prosecutorial discretion in determining guilt'

Opioids in general don't all have the same addictive potential or acute danger, and most of the ones commonly used don't have severe chronic effects (besides addiction) and are generally considered safe to use if used with proper moderation.

The problem with this case though is not someone is liable for selling addictive drugs to willing participants. The problem is that someone deliberately marketed a highly addictive substance (more addictive than morphine) as a less addictive alternative to existing opiate drugs.

This is not the first time this happened, Bayer marketed Heroin as a less addictive alternative to morphine, and it was widely used on civil war veterans in the US which led to widespread addiction and we still live with the legacy of that today in the form of widespread heroin use. BTW heroin, like oxycontin (the drug being discussed in this thread), is far more addictive than morphine.
Yes, Rust releases have (arguably) kept better backwards compatibility than Go releases have. There have been IIRC a few Go releases that broke code in practice despite it being considered a non-breaking change.

It is well past time for Reddit to die, with its authoritarian policies that amount to propagandist control of information and ideology. There are many alternatives out there (https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/oioeot/...) but how do any of them overcome network effects and become viable and mainstream?
From what I read on HN, its customer service must be very variable regionally. In the UK, I often knowingly pay more to buy from Amazon, because it continues to be my experience that if something goes wrong or isn't up to scratch, worst case they'll refund and send Hermes to collect it, no questions asked.
I hope they'll investigate whatever happened to pizza at McDonalds next!
Sure Mr.Smith, you head on down to Washington and write them a very strongly worded letter while you're at it!
Again, as a number of people corrected you, it's not a simple 15W figure but specifically the listed maximum 15W thermal design power (TDP).

That's a term in the industry with a specific meaning:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_design_power

The key thing to understand is that this is not measured power consumption while running the benchmarks and you cannot reliably compare the values even across the same product line, much less across chips — especially when we're talking about SoC designs where, for example, the TDP refers to the entire chip but the benchmarks being discussed are all CPU-focused and don't even exercise the GPU at all. We also know that TDP numbers are not a hard ceiling: there are some chips which under some conditions — most commonly but not always synthetic benchmarks — will exceed those figures, possibly by somewhat significant margins.

There is a very good radio play adaption of Neuromancer from the BBC : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S89BHnaxULo

The Neuromancer film was last meant to be directed by Tim Miller who directed Deadpool and was to be released in 2021.

So somehow the mess with the film rights may be resolved somehow.

The Neuromancer trilogy would make a great TV series. A few episodes for each book.
I have no inside knowledge, although I did work with Imran at Apple and he is a very talented and thoughtful designer.

At one point it looked like they were going to build some type of camera device running Android.

It is my dream that they are going to build a high-quality device with the same attention to detail Apple brings to both hardware and software, running on an open and secure operating system, with a marketplace that is both developer and user friendly, with no lock in and complete freedom over what is running on the device. Like I said, it is a dream.
Most of the techniques for “life philosophy” in the Bible are cribbed from Greek philosophy with a heap of mysticism stirred in to obscure it all. Just go to the source: the stoics and other Greeks. The dichotomy of control (serenity prayer) predates the Bible by some time, for example.
I think that's there to insinuate that this dividend is not under their control. If Apple were to introduce an overhaul to their finance structure as was anticipated last week, they'd likely adjust the margins to suit.
Because of the political environment.

REAL ID only happened because of 9/11 (reactionaries are against it) and figured out how to use it to suppress voting. Individual states vary greatly in the US - there are people who don’t want people to have easy access to ID.

>where are the house searches?

>The seizures?

All the good stuff is probably in their lawyers' offices or offshore. Moreover, I doubt you'll find the smoking gun email that's like "plz transfer money I don't want our creditors to get it".

>The wiretaps?

>The parallel construction?

and what, hope that they catch them in the act of admitting that they made such transfers with the intent of hiding them from creditors? Besides, I suspect most of the illegal stuff (eg. getting it approved, hiding the results) were done before the public/government was aware, so wiretapping after fact wouldn't do much.

>The hundreds of criminal charges meant to coerce a settlement?

They can afford the lawyers.
Because he's a professional narcissist, and everything narcissists do is attention-seeking and fake.

There are a number of books about Branson, and they all underline that he's "not a detail person." As in, he literally doesn't understand what he's doing a lot of the time.

He's good at surrounding himself with competent people who make things happen. He's also good at sales - talking a good game, being charming and optimistic in front of the cameras, and getting people to put up money.

But after some early successes - especially the record company and recording studios - his record of delivery is mediocre, with not a few expensive failures.

With Branson everything is a front and not as solid as it appears to be, and he has a long list of former associates, clients, and partners who are not as impressed as they were initially.

That's not ideal for a conventional business. But when you're dealing with experimental aircraft full of rich people having a very risky adventure, the potential for disaster is spectacular.

People have already died on this project, and it looks as if it's only a matter of time before it literally blows up in someone's face in an extremely expensive way.

I’ve tried doing that. I often end back buying it from Amazon. Why? The company is often selling for the same price, with an outsized shipping charge, longer delivery time, and no free returns.
Feels like the end state in less competitive markets is that the customer pays AND they get ads. Very hard not to do ads at media companies. At the very least, content manipulation via "promotion".

The problem is that paying customers are the _best_ segment! They're like a delicious cookie of revenue just sitting there. Uneaten. At some point natural growth slows. The forces of capitalism demand at least revenue growth. Where to squeeze it from? The cookie is right there. Paying customers get ads, surveillance and manipulated feeds.
Still better than sending them to his ISP (or keeping them visible to his ISP no matter the destination). Sure it's not ideal but really very few things are when it comes to home network DNS requests.

I'd love suggestions for better solutions though, I'm sure there's something I haven't considered.
Not when shipping, and ease of returns in the event of a problem are considered.

I don't mean to shill Amazon, I'd like direct to be as good; it's just rarely close in my experience.
I don't know about what shady dealings the FDA was involved in with this case, but governments generally tax all economic activity within their jurisdiction. There are even guidelines for reporting income on stolen goods on the IRS website.

Lying to people about addictive potential, causing many of them to die, for a profit is far and away from a government collecting collecting taxes on economic activity.
How China’s ‘Common Prosperity’ Drive Will Redistribute the Wealth
The (hilariously wrong) idea that Joe Biden is personally involved, perhaps due to the meme of his love of ice cream, is both entertaining and a fantastic window into the thought process of someone with a very poor understanding of civics.
This is the basis of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT); hating oneself or forgiving oneself are behaviours of the mind (cognition), and the idea is that we can fall into negative behaviours and get stuck there, and can learn positive behaviours instead.

A realted sticking point is when we can't learn positive beahviours, because we don't want to give up the negative ones - e.g. "I deserve to hate myself for not doing the laundry, only a disgusting slob does no laundry and is happy about it, at least I have the virtue of self-hate" and then changing involves debugging why that behaviour is stuck and unsticking it.

Ten common cognitive distortions that lead to self loathing, anxiety, depression, and others are described here: https://www.verywellmind.com/ten-cognitive-distortions-ident...

Dr Burns' podcast talking through all the techniques he's developed for identifying and changing and overcoming these is here: https://feelinggood.com/list-of-feeling-good-podcasts/ he also has a new book out, and charges therapists for using his materials, but the podcast is entirely free.

I think Dr Burns' development of techniques to unstick the "I want to change but I don't deserve to change" predicament is something which could help lots of internet people who are depressed, anxious, miserable, self-loathing, and lots of people who have been going to therapists for years talking over issues but unable to change them, and is something that overlaps with what people want from meditation and from gurus like Eckhart Tolle, but is much more practical with techniques you can try (probably with a therapist, but maybe alone) and confirm whether they worked not in minutes rather than years.
I suspect you're being downvoted by people who simply recognise your username at this point. It's disappointing because I think your comments for the most part are fine, people just seem to take offence to you not being a vaccine zealot.

In doing my part to stick to the topic at hand, I tried to find some research which supports these claims about stainless steel. It seems like Nickel is typically a component of stainless steel and is generally not something you want to have in your body[1].

I'm also not sure how the additional iron, presumably being processed by the liver, might affect someone who has cirrhosis.

I assume "nothing to worry about at scale" really means "not likely to immediately kill a bunch of people".

Ask HN: Anyone using f2fs in real-life scenarios?
Ask HN: Anyone using f2fs in real-life scenarios?

I've test-run f2fs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS) on several laptops and various devices booting from external USB/MMC devices in the past month. The subjective perception of the change in performance (from standard ext4) is evident. I was thinking very seriously about changing all my non-HDD-based devices to f2fs when I stumbled upon this:

https://www.usenix.org/system/files/atc19-jaffer.pdf

Basicaly, it says that f2f2s doesn't do as much checking for hardware errors as ext4 and tends to fail silently when there's a problem with the physical medium. This worries me and makes me want to stop using it - but the paper in question is more than a couple of years old and f2fs has continued to evolve, patches have been submitted to the Linux kernel and so on.

Anyone using f2fs care to share his/her experience with it?
