Allow me to take a moment and just tell you how sorry I am to read this. I know it is worth nothing, but I feel for you. Kids, medical issues, expat families, etc or even a true accident can flip our lives upside down and many just don't take a moment. "Grow some balls" they say. "Grow some compassion" I say.

Loans fail sometimes. But many p2p companies have that calculated in and give you an insurance for failing credits (including interest). This works as long as the p2p companies have put enough aside and work in profit (there are some where this works for years).
I've often hopped out of bed in the middle of the night with an AMAZING tune in my head from a dream, and recorded it on my phone. They've invariably been shite when I listened to them the next morning
If the data from the camera is just used as a sensor (ie. to see if your staring at a phone) and then disable auto-pilot and no footage is stored I wouldn't see how that would be a privacy concern?

Alas, it is not just teens who sometimes struggle to even make a proper git commit.
This take is the equivalent of taking a snowball into the halls of congress to refute climate change. We're in the midst of a global pandemic that's had dramatic impacts on international supply chains. Of course prices are volatile.

To use this as evidence of the general "LOL PRINTER GO BRRR, SO INFLATION" argument—that, frankly, is a conspiracy theory popular today because of everyone's sudden infatuation with Austrian economics via Bitcoin obsession—is kinda myopic and missing the point.
This is one reason I advise people in our emergency service area to use a landline for dialing 911 if they can. Landlines are more reliable and they tend to provide better location information than cell phones because they are fixed to a service address.

Also, as many of the Reddit comments state it's perfectly okay to call 911 and immediately tell the dispatcher you're testing and ask them to read you the address that appears on their console. I do it all the time in various places around our service area for QC purposes.

Easier to multi-task maybe? Its really easy to do other things while listening to a video and then jumping into the parts that sound interesting as compared to reading where its necessarily a very active experience.
And historically, ship navigation was the dominant reason to make maps in the first place.

Only when maps were used for other purposes was there any reason to develop other projections.
meetup.com I think does. I know a couple people that organized groups and myself was a member 10 years ago. Its business model was to charge the organizers of groups a yearly fee, which is nice for the members (to not get ads..). A lot of the groups were quite good and some of the tech ones are still going.
Sidestepping questions of personal freedom, I think the method here is interesting. No one will have their access to buy cigarettes taken away. Some people will never receive the access in the first place. It’s easier to not grant access than to grant it, then take it away. I wonder if this could have other legal applications.
Wait, he says in his book that he didn't commit perjury? Well, that lets him off the hook then.
The process is there to squeeze out some value of out a bunch mediocre and unmotivated people that constitute most teams in most companies. I've worked in teams without much of a process and frankly, the damage that even one incompetent developer can do to the code base is really something that can justify code reviews and automated testing. Esp. if the product is a mature cash cow for the company.

BTW if you want to work differently, maybe early stage (pre-VC) startups are for you? They usually don't have time and money for process - no code reviews, no CI/CD, few tests. Also, game industry doesn't do any of that as far as I know (they have a lot of other issues though).
Do the same with murder simulating video games next pls
I think for me it depends. Video's are better if I'm completely out of my depth or its a big project or its something thats new to me. Text can skim over small but important details, videos usually don't (obviously they can edited out, but thats an active process of removing it, rather than a passive process of just not adding it). But if its something I know a decent amount about, I'll always go with text.

Where it gets a bit more interesting is that middle ground. Usually I prefer text in theory, but a lot of the articles written about it are filled with as much fluff as videos, but then you also have cookie popups, ads, location and notification requests, ect... which can make videos sometimes faster, sometimes slower.

I'm in my mid 20's so I don't know if its a generational thing, I might be just an outlier but I couldn't say for sure.
It's so disingenuous to equate the problems related to, like, the Fed, to the problems inherent to crypto. Somebody exfiltrated an API key from some bad Javascript and stole $130,000,000 with no consequences. That's what crypto is. Unavoidably so. It's just mind boggling that folks try to sweep that aside as if it's nothing, or solvable!
The problem is of course that we're all so caught up in the bankster's nets that their failure is a problem for all of us. When Obama and McCain said "too big too fail" they weren't so much saying "these guys are my friends and I don't want them to fail" (though this may well have been true). They were saying "the chaos that will ensue if these institutions fail will be too deep and wide for us to deal with".

That was, of course, the point of trying to do something to make them NOT too big too fail, an effort that appears to have really gone nowhere.
Indeed, I'm one of those folks to some extent. I've made good money from crypto. I'm not here to downplay the issues, in fact I admit there are MANY issues. That doesn't mean I brush off the whole thing as a scam or a ponzi.

EDIT: PS. I don't know much about celsius, and it might in fact be a ponzi. I'm referring to brushing off crypto as ponzi.
From that page: For GUSD in Earn, while the U.S. dollar reserves backing the GUSD tokens are eligible for FDIC insurance, the GUSD tokens themselves are not insured, whether or not in Earn.

All the services still have to be paid for though. So unless tax districts get much larger such that each one includes a regional city, the rural/suburban taxes would still have to be significant.

Prior to the emergence of the first Piggly Wiggly self-service super market in 1916, this is how grocery stores operated. Widespread development of this model occurred over several decades as I understand. Wikipedia mentions that shoplifting was a concern, but that increased volume and efficiency more than made up for it.

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

Smithsonian has an article: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/bizarre-story-pigg...

There have been stores which operated on a similar basis until fairly recently. "Consumers Distributors" operated as catalogue-warehouse stores --- customers would enter the physical market, select items from a catalogue, submit that order at a counter, where the goods were retrieved from an employee-only warehouse area.

Within current grocery stores, the counter concept is still retained, often for high-value or certain fresh products: pharmacy, meat/deli counter, fish counter, and bakery, especially.

Your comment on brands is highly appropos.

The development of self-serivce groceries also lead to a revolution in marketing and packaging. Rather than bulk and largely generic goods (flour, sugar, lard, eggs, meat, biscuits, etc.) specific branded and generally prepared products were developed, with packaging and advertising an integral part of their distribution and marketing.

A retreat from self-service retail would likely have a similar impact, though precisely how this functions would depend on how this is implemented. Stores in high-crime areas might return to the original clerk/retrieval model, an online request/pick-up, self-service electronic kiosks, voice-recognition systems, or any of a number of concepts. An online catalogue vending would likely retain more branding aspects, in-store requests might not. Characteristics of the served community and their access and/or willingness to use online methods or banking services would also be a factor.

Theft modes would also likley change. Presumably, payment fraud, possibly strong-arming at the counter, or interdiction of either wholesale or retail deliveries (to and from the store respectively).

My friend at Tokyo university says they keep public windows open, cases are low, and it didn’t hit Japan hard at all, they were used to wearing masks long before, and most people isolate naturally anyway.
I'm around 20 and I prefer text over videos. I find videos too long, sometimes exaggerated. Even if I have to watch a video, that has some "content" I'd increase the playback speed to have it done faster. In my opinion, visual instructions give in a lot of unnecessary information than textual instructions. This makes it harder to imagine when watching a video than reading a, say blog.

Pump and dumping penny stocks works exactly like a Ponzi scheme. It's a layer removed perhaps, but the early buyers win and the later buyers lose, by definition.

I'm not an expert in Celsius, perhaps it's structured a bit differently. But any system that relies on new investors paying out the old is structured akin to a Ponzi scheme, if there's no intrinsic value element to the speculation.

If AAPL pays a 10% dividend, huge numbers of people would buy it for the yield. The yield comes from their underlying business, not from investor money. This puts a floor on the price.

When your yield only comes from newer investors, that's not intrinsic value or sustainable
China banned cryptocurrency not because it's a scam (which it mostly is) but because it provides a way for wealthy Chinese to evade currency controls. The Chinese renmimbi currency isn't freely convertible to foreign hard currency. But Chinese residents found a loophole. They could purchase cryptocurrency mining hardware and electricity with renmimbi, then use online exchanges to sell the resulting tokens for foreign currency. The Chinese Communist Party couldn't tolerate this challenge to their authority.

More irritating than this is the fact that it will automatically show you as a way if Teams is not the active window after 10mins. Which kind of beats the purpose of using Teams as means to stay connected and share availability with your team. Hence making it futile to guess if someone is actually away or not, by having to ask every time.

For decades now the Dems have been lame ducks surrounded by snakes. They have no vision, no popular mandate, and no idea how to use the bully pulpit. They're too busy putting band-aids on an ever-growing cancer to actually do anything anymore. The Republicans have directly attacked every cornerstone of our democratic and electoral systems, from the ballots to the courts to the schools, and have made huge victories all across. The Dems, meanwhile, just keep chugging along pretending like it's still the 90s. No meaningful reform will come from them. Authoritarianism, here we come.

I never researched why but I always found it interesting how much stricter chemical laws in the EU were compared to the US and then in the inverse how the US really clamped down on diesel compared to the EU where it was much more popular and in many ways less strict.

To simply answer the question... when one is filed.
I have a network that gets me work, they get me more work than I have time to do, this is why any serious developer needs to qualify work and turn down stuff they don't have the time for. Despite my network bring in more work than I can do I still look for more qualified work as my skills are highly valued I can find better paying work than what comes to me.

You'r advice is to depend only on your network? No serious developer with a network would do this.

You don't feel you can turn down jobs, in 2021? You have an abundance of work from your network but can't afford to turn down the shit jobs in place for higher paying jobs? I don't think so.

Your advice is laughable any senior would recognise you don't do what you say, you wouldn't follow your own advice. I think you are just trying to front on some one with no job to make yourself feel successful.

Your advice boils down to "If I was you people would just bring me work, LOL get gud" as advice this is obviously useless and arrogant the real point behind it is to make yourself feel better about your position as you put it "a somewhat less privileged background" you think you are the only one who has overcome adversity? I don't think you have faced real adversity. Your attitude of just be successful and people will bring you work is all the proof I need that you have not done a days work in your life.

Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people":

First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.

Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.

It doesn't matter. It's a totally unnecessary distraction for the driver. And, yes, there are other non driving-related distractions--both their phone and things like music (which has existed in some form forever)--but that's not a reason to add another. The passenger can use whatever entertainment they want that doesn't distract the driver. This is an absolutely stupid idea.

> The question is not only what the financial risk this poses to Evergrande's investors/creditors, but what other companies are suffering similar negative pressures that have pushed Evergrande this far into the red to begin with.

Or more accurately, what the rest of the market believes to be true about these companies.

or fears is true because they don't have enough evidence to believe, and their prior beliefs just unravelled.
Moisture is the bigger reason for that, I'd expect.
That's a very long winded way of saying "no".
That's a distinction without a difference. I'm saying the forged art is valuable because there is a cost to produce it, and the JPG isn't because there effectively isn't a cost to produce it.

The NFT took work to produce, sure, but it's just a number with some mathematical relationship to other numbers and means absolutely nothing without other systems agreeing that it means something. It creates work to be done where none needs to be done solely for the purpose of trying to fit a square peg (post-scarcity information) into a round hole (scarcity-based markets).
Ah, don't get me wrong, I don't have a very high opinion of Elon. I think Tesla is over-valued as a simple car company and selling it as a tech company is borderline charlatan. And yes, he fails at a lot of, let's call them non-core, products. And usually misses timelines for core products. Anyone else trying this would be nailed to the wall, Elon pulls it off. That alone is quite a skill. With the effect that Tesla now is a viable car manufacturer, regardless of market cap.

Personally, I hate that approach to business. I don't even talk about the Solar City bail-out, his Tesla goes private tweet and all that. For some reason that really avoids me, it works...
Huh. TIL. It seems I am but a few karma from having a downvote button. Interesting.
It's not nice to hear, but the reality is, we treat most veterans even worse than this. The VA is an abysmal failure, and its failure, especially in the arena of mental healthcare, is a primary driving factor why many homeless men in the US are veterans. Going to war takes a serious and long-lasting toll on a person, and an even deeper toll when you are someone who allows yourself to consider and struggle with the ethics and morals of war.

This country needs to wrestle with and resolve its treatment of veterans. More than any other nation, the United States has been encaptured by the military-industrial complex, and we treat the millions of people who are driven through this complex as less than dirt, discarding them as husks of their former selves without any recourse or support once they no longer serve that complex. No less a luminary than Eisenhower[1] and Smedley Butler[2] warned us clearly that the military-industrial complex would lead to this, that war is a racket, and that our society was trending in a direction where it was acceptable to utterly destroy the lives of men so that a few may profit.

It is very sad that this is the end, at such a young age, of this man.

Yes, I meant to get professional feedback from a good resource, to help one's interview skills. This can also be extended to improving one's communications skills at work.

For resources of people who might be able to help, I would include people like a mentor, hired professional, or trusted friends who are good communicators.
Not every financial fraud is a Ponzi scheme, and it's silly to call everything a Ponzi. It sounds like Celsius probably is one, though.
It's not like FB/Meta can't afford to participate in the US (or any other legal, regulated) payment networks and protect their end users and intermediaries. They could easily cover the cost of fees if this was a product they actually believed in and could make revenue from.

And these are also mostly speculation.

The crux of the OP’s argument to me is that The company and others in this space position the yields as being “in kind” to savings account yields despite it very much being a different risk ballgame. See the frequent hacks on https://rekt.news/ for example.

Do sites like Celsius explicitly claim to be as safe as insured savings banks? No of course not but they play a similar linguistic game of association to Tesla’s “autopilot” nomenclature.

As with most things do your own research and don’t risk what you can’t lose.
> I have no doubt that academics have a ton of expertise, but their output in paper form is basically unusable, I'm not sure it achieves any purpose besides resume padding.

If you think the entire field of academia doesn't achieve any purpose, you may want to reconsider your position. Most likely, almost everything that you do today on a computer was an academic paper. Yes, it was without code and data. Yet, it was not unusable and achieved more than enough purpose.

The average comment on HN on academia comes from a mindset where everyone wants a product. The purpose of a paper is NOT to release a software or a product. But, to test an idea under some assumptions. That's what all research does at its core - formulate a hypothesis, design an experiment to test the hypothesis and report the results and implications. Are all research papers perfect"? No. Are all of them usable? No.

Your use case - sound synthesis for a specific instrument - may not be a scientific challenge. It is however an engineering challenge and hence, you found a better answer amongst hobbyists and tinkerers. Now, try looking for the a vaccine for Covid - and guess where you'd find that answer? In decades of research on mRNA with repeated failures, papers that couldn't be replicated, unavailability of "code" and samples with verbal descriptions skipping crucial details.

No. "Battery Swap" was a lie that was never delivered and frankly just stole money from California.

So I'm going to keep pointing them out.
