>> For that bank with $1m in deposits and $1m in reserves before any lending that 10% requirement means that it can not let its reserves go below 100k

> This just doesn’t make any sense. The whole point of the reserve requirement is to guard against the risk that depositors will withdraw enough money at once to deplete the reserves. The bank needs to meet the reserve requirement of deposits on its balance sheet, not a theoretical future balance sheet.

What part doesn't make sense precisely?

A) The bank has $1m in deposits

B) It has to meet the reserve requirement (10%) for the deposits in its balance sheet ($1m)

C) The reserve requirement is $100k

D) The rest are excess reserves

The balance sheet looks like this:

Assets Liabilities
$100k Required reserves $1m Deposits
$900k Excess reserves

> Say the debtor moves all their money to another bank as per your example. Now the bank has 1m deposits and 100k reserves.

Sure, this is the balance sheet now:

Assets Liabilities
$100k Required reserves $1m Deposits
$900k Loans

> Now those other depositors also move 100k to another bank, so the bank has no reserves. Uh oh - making that 900k loan actually allowed the banks reserves to drop below the requirement in this theoretical eventuality!

That's the whole point of fractional reserve! You have enough reserves to cover a fraction of the deposits amount. If the bank has no excess reserves it will be in breach as soon as some depositor decides to get some of their money back and it will need to get more reserves to remain in compliance.

> The bank doesn’t need to wait for this unlikely event to happen to allow its reserves to drop to 10%, it can just make the extra loans in the first place.

The unlikely event that the people who take loans sends the money elsewhere? What would be unlikely is that they didn't.

For people unfamiliar with this: Puy du Fou was created by a nationalistic politician born in the region. This politician, Philippe de Villiers, is getting closer and closer to the french far right, he's anti islam, anti europe, anti migrants, and go as far as to say that the French government is on its way to give away part of its territory for it to be ruled under sharia.

I have no experience with the park but from the articles I found I wouldn't be surprised if every "historical" events presented there are heavily interpreted/romanticised

I used to believe that a good bootcamp can make a developer out of anyone. I changed my mind after trying to teach programming to a couple of people. In all failed cases people was not trained to thing algorithmically, that is being able to pick a piece apart and build a thing out of small parts, all in mind. Like looking at what a single iteration of a loop does and imagining what will be the end result. A person either has this skill and then she can learn on her own even without a teacher. Or she does not have it and then no matter how hard you try to explain Java/Python/JS/etc she does not get it at a very basic level.

I do agree that learning how to code is not that hard given that you have certain skills already. But said skills are rare. This might explain why programmers think it is easy to learn programming but we don’t see an influx of skilled developers despite boot camps and online courses available for free.

Maybe changing something at an elementary school level would fix the problem. I have no idea how to do it but I know for sure that we need to teach people a certain way of thinking and this is a prerequisite to being a successful programmer. As soon as you have that way of thinking learning Python or Java is a piece of cake. And I absolutely sure that anyone can learn it, we are simply super bad at teaching the right skills to people.

Another interesting project is worth mentioning here: VirtualGL. VirtualGL allows you to run an OpenGL/3D application on a powerful remote graphics workstation, and to view it locally on a 2D-only diskless thin client, giving X's network transparency a significant boost.

In VirtualGL, all the 2D operations are still handled via X over the network. But doing the same for OpenGL is impractical for many reasons: the data is tremendous, and indirect rendering is not compatible with all applications.

VirtualGL uses a clever hack to solve the problem: 3D to raster conversion. On the remote 3D machine, 3D graphics is rendered using the graphics card and its driver as usual, but all the drawing operations are intercepted by VirtualGL via a LD_PRELOADed stub library, so VirtualGL knows about them. After the remote application has drawn something via OpenGL, VirtualGL immediately dumps the 3D framebuffer as a raster image, compresses it, and sends it over the network. Locally, the raster image is drawn at its intended location. The result is seamless 3D with native X experience (unlike a remote desktop).

I'm arguing that people should have a say in the rules they live under. That's kind of fundamental to the whole concept of democracy.

A regional entity can't really have full control over its monetary system unless it's a 'nobody goes in or out' fortress like North Korea. In which case, it's of course difficult to have a democracy in anything but name! So to talk about the rules of local politics as if they can contain the monetary system through which they trade with others doesn't seem to me like the product of careful thought either. The US was sort of in that position because it was the global hegemon, but that should hardly be thought of as the historical norm.

I'm confused by this. You can buy a 1.8mm borescope online for $1k. I imagine professional spy organizations have much thinner ones or fiber optic options. So if you already have a hole, how is this helping? Dark rooms? Or an instant room layout maybe for breaching?
Where your comment went wrong was in conflating rational decisions made at the time the rules are made or enforced with routine rational choices made constantly by the population. It’s much easier to have a rule which says “always wash your hands when preparing food” than to have every single restaurant worker have to reason about the level of risk posed by what they’ve done since the last time they washed their hands. In particular, think about how many bad calls are made by people who believe they’re acting rationally but are acting on incomplete or bad information.

Libertarianism involves a state as weak as possible so it critically depends on people to individually make good choices for a society to be an appealing place to live. You can sue your neighbor if he burns old tires upwind but you’re really hoping he’s smart enough not to because that’s tedious, slow, and risks retaliation. If you don’t have the equivalent of Social Security forcing people to save for retirement, you have to make your peace with having destitute old people on the streets, etc.
Have you tried freetube? (I'm unsure if it's electron though)
A hard hat isn't a medical procedure. Some die from this vaccine.

I weighed up the options and decided it was by far the lower risk option.

I think people need to be free to make that choice.

What exactly is your point? Do you think the Thalidomide saga from seventy years ago is a good reason not to take a new vaccine? Or do you just think being able to name a single drug (that was net accepted by the FDA at the time) means we should be skeptical of all drugs?

I understand that I asked for a drug that had later side effects and you provided one. But, I do not think what happened with Thalidomide is a good reason not to take this vaccine...I'm not even sure if you do.
> For example, if someone refuses a vaccine, should an emergency room be free to refuse care?

This argument doesn't hold up. First, tying availability of medical care to the "right" behavior unconscionable at so many levels. In a developed country, do we really want to create a tier of disabled or unhealthy people that we've denied care to because we don't like their behavior (maybe dont answer that)

More practically, should you get interviewed at the ER intake and moved down in priority based on factors in your control that make you a higher risk? Smokers, sedentary people, the obese, lifestyle induced diabetics, people who don't go to the doctor regularly, you could probably compile a big list. What is so special about vaccines?

But, provided you don't need the intermediate results, you can rearrange the data back to progressive and then render it the simple way, for those times when CPU power is constrained more than the network. Total CPU use ends up being pretty much the same (the data rearrange step is rather cheap compared to the idct's)
I guess people differ in the definition of “fun”.

> Why must I be vaccinated if the vaccine doesn't prevent spread?

Why do you think it doesn't prevent spread? While breakthrough infections make all the news, the vaccine does lessen the chance of catching COVID if exposed. Less people catching COVID, less spread.
I remember seeing something similar but with audio instead of light. The reverberations of a sound bouncing off objects allowed for the mapping of an enclosed space.
I must say, I don’t encounter this issue. I live in New Zealand, you would expect English to default to English. Instead, because I use my computers in French, it defaults to French — even when I log in and tell it (repeatedly) to favour English results.

(Don’t ask why I use my OS in French but want English results; it’s not that interesting) :-)
I find my enthusiasm for RISC-V materially reduced by its appalling lack of a base POPCOUNT instruction. Its lack makes my favorite optimizations annoyingly pessimal.

I understand that, someday, higher-end realizations will begin to ship with various "B" subsets implemented, but "portable" builds will tend to avoid relying on those for an appallingly long time after. (E.g. MSVC and Gcc still do not generate POPCNT instructions, on amd64, unless you specifically identify a post-2004 target.)

I will nonetheless be excited to learn of the first chip that does ship with the full raft of B instructions.

The implied difference is that the radioactive fallout is an unnatural event that will directly lead to your untimely demise, while being “dead” the moment you’re born is not useful to any discussion.

> couldn’t you say that?

Ok, then this is NOT how it works -> "if a bank has $1 million in deposits the bank can make $10 million in loans"

I can agree with either of the following formulations:

"if a bank has $1 million in deposits the bank can make $10 million in loans as long as the loans remain as deposits in the bank"

"if a bank has $1 million in deposits the bank can make loans for any amount that it wants as long is it can comply with the reserve requirements"

Yep, and I’m not doing real yoga. I’ve been doing DDP Yoga, yes the wrestler, for 3 years now. Same results as you. I also lift often and I’m almost ready to add jiu-jitsu to the mix. This winter I’ll be ready to begin.
A large part of my recommendation is consistency. For general content sites, it’s not good to be too different from the mean. Font family and size is definitely such a property where you don’t want to deviate too much: twenty years ago, 20px for body type would have been outrageously large; twenty years ago, 11px was definitely on the small side, but not outrageously small as it is now. Conventional sizes have definitely slid upwards, but they’ve peaked in roughly the range 16–20px, and I declare that anything higher than 20px is just too much, pointlessly limiting what you can fit on the screen—any time people go above there, you will see people zooming out because they find it too big.

(And this recommendation is designed for desktop-sized displays; on mobile displays, just use 16px, and certainly don’t go above 18px.)

I am emphatically not assuming designing for younger people; quite the contrary. You will find me saying “don’t go below 16px, you make things harder for many people”. But once you’re in the range 16–18px, going larger just doesn’t help—the people that want to go larger will (or should) already be used to going larger by zooming in, and you’re making life harder for everyone else by preventing the screen from fitting much content at once.
It would be really cool if the Raspberry Pi Foundation could jump in.
This doesn't go far enough. I think that state governments need to start mandating vaccinations for all eligible citizens. Such mandates are clearly constitutional and have a great deal of historical precedent (see Jacobson v. Massachusetts, which upheld vaccine mandates in 1905).

Two of the worst characteristics of Napoleon were

a) his discontempt for Germany (which he successfully embarked on, considering him dissolving the German Empire)

b) his utilization of enlightenment policies to subdue countries, creating a narrative in which Napleonese France IS the enlightenemnt (which is of course BS)

In the case of Germany, apart from forcibly recruting citizens into his army where they mainly served as cannon fodder, apart from the pillaging of french troops, apart from massive increases in taxations for the poor that were already hit due to unemployment caused by his continental system, apart from churches being repurposed as horsestalls as a form of practical joke, the worst thing he did, was that he utilized things like the code-civil and other enlightenment reforms to turn a new tiny middle-class into loyalists, stirring up division Germany still hasn't really freed itself from.

His policy was the equivalent of when today's West is forcibly bringing "democracy" to Iraq/Afghanistan/..., instead of letting it arise organically, which in turn taints the whole franchise, the whole idea, as un-Arabic, un-Muslim etc.

Reforming the law to enable anyone to work in any job would have happened likely anyways, but Napoleon propagandizing it into his idea, into a french idea, he effectivly laid the groundwork for the discontempt in Germany for enlightenment ideas till this day. And yes, this includes post-napoleonese German anti-semitism.

Yeah, and usually the devs know that what they have done is sub-optimal at best... but that doesn't count against the dominance of marketing or legal in decisionmaking.
When the ICU is past capacity, these questions must be asked regardless. Who gets treated first and why? Unvaccinated covid patients are the ones pushing ICUs past capacity, not drivers or swimmers or soccer players or obese people. This is not a hypothetical thought experiment. Doctors are having to make these decisions right now.

I'm not sure about that - have you looked at the strength required for some of the exercises people do on gymnastics rings? Things like ring planches, maltese, victorian cross (once thought to be impossible) etc.
If I may ask - can you tell me which city's hospital beds are full due to Covid 19 patients?
> The mere fact that French Revolution can be told from the point of view of losers is a revelation to many French.

The French Revolution is always told from the point of view of losers. Most of its most prominent actors ended losing at some point and the whole thing ends with an epuration followed by a military coup.

The myth surrounding the Revolution has little to do with who won or lost. Like most of what the French view as their history, it is a construction dating from the rise of nationalism at the end of the 19th century.
Item 4 already happens on a large scale, so I don't think it counts as a downside. Also, 'bot' implies it's a computer or machine.

The behavior of concern here is Twitter accounts operating in service of somebody or something else, which might or might not be operated by a human, script, AI, or what have you. If they're operated by a human but the human's following its own script or administering a farm of puppet accounts, it'd still qualify even if the human gets to improvise on its message a bit.

A more accurate term might be 'agent', which also describes the day jobs of some of the people working on Twitter as their primary job :)
Preventing the spread of an infectious respiratory virus is a fools errand and we’ve known this forever. No amount of authoritarianism is enough to stop the spread. The mitigation efforts were always to avoid overrunning the hospitals, which we have managed easily.

I’m not so inclined to agree at this stage, and I’m a hawk when it comes to this kind of thing. (A few days ago I was downvoted for criticizing the Colorado pay transparency law as an overreach).

This is certainly the best way to keep workers safe during a pandemic and given the information we have on the Pfizer vaccine — billions of doses given, 1.5 years of watching for adverse long term effects, full FDA approval — this move strikes me as appropriate for OSHA. OSHA requirements are supposed to be aggressively protective of the worker.
For C++, we've built Learn C++ Through Projects [0], which is a project-based C++ course.

We currently offer only one project to build a transport network monitor. It starts with some low-level topics (we use WebSockets to handle tens of thousands of network events) but a lot of code is also higher-level (we use the network events to create a routing engine) - so it may not be exactly a "systems programming" resource!

Has anyone died from Pfizer? I’ve seen cases of heart inflammation, but I haven’t heard of any deaths.
Libertarianism doesn't rely on all people making individually good choices. It relys on power being extremely spread out so the blast radius of bad choices is contained and the law of averages comes into play because the median person makes ok to good decisions.

And people keep proposing systems that do worse than that and refusing to critically assess how their ideas work out in practice vs a free market.
> If it were to, half of Washington-Baltimore would've been blown to pieces, and burnt to the ground first.

No way. Looking at NUKEMAP right now, a 15 megaton surface burst like Bravo, in the center of Washington, wouldn't even deal "heavy blast damage" much past the National Cathedral. Beyond that, you're looking at "moderate" blast damage sufficient to destroy wooden homes afflicting the rest of the District proper; once you're out past Laurel or so (a decent halfway point between Washington and Baltimore) you're not even breaking windows anymore.
