Both. But only for the credit worthy, which is determined by the market.

They all rely on new money from investors to pay back the old one. There is a word for that, but it doesn't matter.

The investors rely on assurances that their investment could be paid back from other sources.

In practice though they just use new debt from new investors to payoff the old one to old investors.

The remaining proceeds can and are used for anything with no transparency. But there doesn't need to be, as long as investors are paid back.

Credit markets are very misunderstood (Bonds, Credit, High Yield, Junk, Fixed income are basically synonyms, there are many subsections of this market and regional ones around the globe). People just think they're boring and don't take a second look.
>It's a tradition that dates back to the 1930s and it's designed to give all children in Finland, no matter what background they're from, an equal start in life.

That's like saying that because we have public school, all kids have an equal education. It's plain wrong. It doesn't work unless you force everyone to use the box and force everyone to go to public schools.
Postwoman? aka Hoppscotch now.
It’s an intercept piece, so there’s always the drama and eye roll associated with them.

That said, how many cages or suites are leased by an intelligence agency isn’t really germane… the fact that they are or were there at all is the news. The square footage is particularly irrelevant as the building and “condo” owners are known to perform various tasks for intelligence services.

Where that building is located and who is served by it make it very strategic, and it’s imo naive to assume that the security, intelligence and counterintelligence services weren’t stakeholders in the building and network designs in the 60s and 70s.

You know whats crazy? A few years back I had this Core i3 Haswell system and I installed Windows 7 with Office 2003 on it. The PC shipped with Windows 8 but I decided to go backwards. My god the performance was out of this world. Everything was instant! It was such a pleasant experience I didn't feel again until I got my M1 mac. Even now the bloat is slowly beginning on even the m1 Mac. I think we need to find every developer/designer/project manager who introduces this software bloat and lock them on a remote island.
Dune is the most confusing book series I have ever read. My introduction to Dune was via Dune II and eventually Dune 1 video games, and I thought the setting was amazing and very well thought out. Then I read the first book and was thoroughly confused: Paul is a Superman, but supermen are bad? Except nowhere in the book does it imply that. It reads like a teenager’a superhero fantasy novel.

And the world building that is lauded for being so sophisticated? It just feels off. For one, there are tens of thousands of habitable planets but all the action takes place on only four. Second, there is the Landsraad but we focus on just three factions. Third, the entire empire relies on spice, yet spice comes from a single planet and they never bothered to figure out why or how it’s made? Moreover instead of the emperor directly controlling spice production (the most valuable substance in the galaxy and the source of ultimate control) he outsources the job to a noble house that is sure to betray him sooner or later. Paul is of course considered a genius for figuring this out, but like how could you not see this coming from page 1?

And then there are the sequels. The second book is confusing as all hell because suddenly there is the great Jihad except we don’t really know why it’s happening, to whom, and who is winning. And Paul is now an emo kid who is both too wise and not wise enough. He can’t stop the Jihad so he does some stuff that he foresaw but makes no sense.

The Children of Dune at least brings things back out of the abstract “you are too dumb to understand just how vast the world is so I won’t bother describing it to you”. But it’s a story with a middle and not really a beginning or an end. I didn’t manage to get further than this book.

I really wanted to like Dune. But I have no idea what I am missing. Did I have to read it as a 15 year old to really get into it? Is there some cultural thing I’m missing? Is it just overhyped?
I don't think that it can leak CO2 in any significant way... other commenters made more convincing arguments though
To most people Rolex has no premium value at all. Hence they buy a Casio. And choose to spend the Rolex money on say a house.

To the people who value Rolex, a fake is not valuable.

To some (vain but poor) a fake is valuable but barely more valuable than a standard watch.

> Too many people glorify staying at one employer for a substantial length of time.

Maybe. But I wonder whether others don't glorify job changes as the cure-all for work related problems.

I've seen a number of friends change jobs with some regularity. In some cases, they got out of really bad situations into something obviously better. But that seems to be the exception.

More frequently, the previous underlying problems (their attitude toward work, or toward co-workers, or systemic issues in the industry) re-emerged quickly in the new job.

Somewhere in between are the "serial monogamists" of employees: They start a new job, are quite happy with it, after a few years, dissatisfaction starts creeping in, and they look for a new job and start over. For them, changing jobs regularly also might make sense.
People can get sued for all kinds of illegitimate reasons. The real question is, is what I have proposed violating any laws? If so, which laws?
Ikea, indeed. We had what was called Gulliver at the time. Relatively cheap, adjustable (higher for first 6 or so months, then lower, and finally one side removable to make it a toddler bed).

One thing we learned is that babies are constantly on the move, even when swaddled, always find ways to tip things over, roll off sofas and chairs, ... and puke over anything and everything.

Well, we love them!

This is not uncommon. Two things come to mind that might help:
1) Decide if you really care if this migration is on hold for several months. Your stuff presumably works fine still, right? If so, why do you care that the migration is delayed? Really take time to think it through. In the meantime, just report the delay back to whoever told you to do the migration and, if they have a problem with it, they can go fight battles for you while you do something else.

2) Recognize that $LARGE_CORP values != startup values. This can be really hard - you likely came from an environment in which getting things done quickly, efficiently, and sometimes really creatively, was highly valued, almost above all else. Those are good things, but now you are in an environment in which things like stability and predictability are possibly even more important, and a plodding, "inefficient" bureaucracy can actually work in favor of those values.

I found the above helpful while I endured a commitment to stay for a certain amount of time after the acquisition, but ultimately I missed the startup environment and returned as soon as I could. :)
Exactly, there is no study on the long term effects of these vaccines because they are so new.

Thank you for your story. Covid has done some damage to my bottom line this year, but stories like yours just again cheer me up and prove to me why I decided to work for myself.

Initially, pandemic life was much worse for my sleep. Stress, burnout, exercising less (not even walking to/from the office), getting older, eating worse, all contributed to sleep problems (sleeping too much).

I changed jobs, saw a doctor, started eating better, am forcing some exercise, improved body chemistry, improved blood pressure. I'm sleeping better now than before the beginning of the pandemic, I have an easy time staying awake during the day, and I'm not even having caffeine anymore.

Being in your 40s, a reduction in sex hormones could be a contributing factor as well. Consider getting them checked.

Considering that the Steam library is > 80% Unity asset flip shovelware, it's hard to figure out what this means in reality.

A better metric would be how many of the top 50 games worldwide run on Linux (including console exclusives). That would be a good universal metric that could be used to compare not just compatibility, but also porting efforts.

Leave it to the government to create massive inflation by giving billions of dollars to criminals while everyone else suffers. Imagine if a company did something so sloppy. Instead we're left paying the bill for the gross incompetence and mismanagement. At least they recovered 2% of it, I guess.
But, why are we calling this work 'gig economy labor' and not 'piece work labor'? Why is there a conversation at all? Why are we not just saying "This is piece work, treat it as such". If they aren't different, there are no laws to be kept up. That's the question.
This comment is better than the article. Thanks for the clarity!

Agree 100%. I’m at the tail end of fours years at a FAANG and have worked with several different teams.

I’m always dumfounded by the fact that people even one or two levels above me (Director or Sr. Manager level) don’t even have a basic understanding of the impact that their ‘goals’ have on the people who actually deliver them.

Of course they praise us for delivering during challenging times, but then they go and setup a roadmap for the next year that creates the same situation.

This coupled with the absurd income disparity between internal employees and new hires is finally starting to burn me out.

Its a fallacy if you try to present it as a logical refutation to an argument. Using bizarre as a descriptive term for an action while not passing it off as a rebuttal is a matter of opinion.
This is an incredibly broad question, and the answers will probably be all over the place. If you are working on the front end, try to find the entry points and work from there through various hypothetical scenarios. Hopefully there is documentation on various parts of the system, or architects/devs who built it, but that is unfortunately not always the case…

Find out the deployment process. Find out what to do if anything goes really, really wrong. Try to find patterns in the code. Just explore for a while and even try to create you own mental model of how things are structured.
I tell most people to try God Emperor and if they hate it, they might as well be done. In my experience it's a rare breed that enjoys Heretics and Chapterhouse. I'm part of that breed, but I have also read them through many times; and I can't say that I was part of that breed before I had read them through many times. It could also be a rare breed because I don't think most people make it through God Emperor.

Anderson wrote crappy Star Wars books, too. I'm really not sure what the breakdown is of Brian Herbert and Anderson actually doing the writing.

I gave the two of them two or three trilogies, so more than a fair shake. Painfully dull is the first adjective that comes to mind. They really took some of the most interesting places and concepts in sci-fi and made them flat.

Hunters and Sandworms were the least bad books by the pair, and there was certainly some hint of Heretics and Chapterhouse in them, but they were still not well written and the ideas lacked the substance of Frank Herbert's works.

The maternity kit includes more than just the box itself, which (along with concurrent economic development and other changes) confounds study of its effects.

In fact, with imitations of the maternity kit (or just the box as a sleeping spot) becoming more popular outside of Finland recently, often boosted by marketing playing on the correlation of the kit and the decline in infant mortality in Finland, a number of health entities in recent years have raised concerns that the box-as-crib itself may be a safety risk rather than an aid.
There is out-of-band discovery for devices that support multiple bands. That should help in 6 GHz band but it looks more and more that 2.4 GHz will be only for discovery in the future..

Yes, we had already established that. The point is that requiring 100% collateral does not allow the borrower to trade future consumption for present consumption, which is the whole point of borrowing as far as consumer and businesses are concerned. This is why DeFi loans are unsuitable when it comes to funding consumption or productive investment.
Thank you! I didn't consider the virtualisation route, interesting. I saw many of those "industrial mini PC" on eBay, but for now I'm planning to repurpose old hardware (discarded parts taken out of my gaming PC over time due to updates, I have everything I need to build a new machine except NICs and case).

This has been my experience exactly. Automation has a high upfront cost where that payoff is in the long term. As a startup the priority is on income now. Not cost saving that pays off over the next year.

There's an old school website I wanted to access that's long gone. It's only partially preserved in the Wayback Machine. I'm glad it's there at all, but some of the specific information I was looking for was never captured, and now there's no way to recover it.

I realize it's a hard problem, but I really wish there were a way to automate more of it. Some of these communities are too small for anyone to bother preserving the pages manually, and I don't imagine we'd even show up on ArchiveTeam's radar. But they're not large pages, and basically static. I don't think they'd be a huge burden to store and maintain. It seems like some sort of a coverage + size metric would be pretty effective at guiding an automated scan such that you'd be able to preserve things liked this without needing humans to go and manually archive each and every page.
Clients don't always do this automatically. My Arch Linux laptop would often select 2.4GHz in places where 5GHz offered a much better experience. Generally it will start on 5GHz when it is close to the router, fall back to 2.4GHz when it moves far away, and (sadly) it doesn't go back to 5GHZ when it moves back closer to the router. Apple devices were pretty good, automatically choosing and switching to the best bands at all times with behaviour much similar to that seen on mobile phones. For this reason I prefer the AP to manage the band steering as it means all devices are connected to the best band. Leaving it to the clients results in a hit and miss experience depending on how well the decide operates. I live with other people who own all sort of different devices so it's not possible for me to say "OK this network is only for Apple devices", I have to ensure thr WiFi works for all sorts of different devices.

No, manufacturers do that because they don’t want to have to fix products that you’ve hacked up, then guarantee the item’s safety and regulatory compliance.
I don't get the shock that few own most of the btc. It's awarded in perfect proportion to your means to invest in creating it. Even a small time gold miner in the 1860s could possibly win an outsized reward, given his available resources. That's impossible w btc.

I also had this w/ my Tucows/Hover/AWS domains.

Not something to be concerned with, but communciations from all the providers were pretty poor on this one.
Another, maybe bigger, problem is probe requests. A client device, e.g. smartphone, uses "active scanning" where it sends probe packets and asks "is there any AP in this channel?" instead of "passive scanning" where it would wait for beacons. Active scanning has the advantege of being much faster. In passive scanning, client needs to stay 200-300 ms in each channel and that ads up quickly when you consider 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels. So clients prefer to use active scanning to quickly discover APs. Some clients send periodic probe requests even when they are connected to an AP in case they need to switch to another AP. All these probe requests together with beacons pollute 2.4 GHz.
I don't think most people do. For the howver many years of QE I remember that critics were met with finger-pointing to flat PCI and CPE. Few outside of finance seem to recognize summary P/E growth as inflation.
It's amazing how much more usable applications become when their UIs are consistent with the other UI of the platform. Unfortunately, marketing wants every product to "stand out" and thus (even before the Electron fad started) they develop custom controls and other annoying "uniqueness".
