If a lender is facing bankruptcy, how are they going to fund the infrastructure necessary to negotiate with tens of thousands of borrowers? If a lender is not yet on the brink of bankruptcy, but sees it coming, don't you think if this was a viable business model for a lender to avoid liquidation they would pursue it?

Your proposed law wouldn't even make life easier for anyone but the richest debtors, who don't need a law to protect them. The vast majority of people live paycheck to paycheck and have de minims savings. If you offered them a 30% discount to pay off their mortgage (or even a 50% discount), they have no way to come up with that payment without going out and obtaining another loan.

Two of the points in the article are at cross purposes.

The author mentions doing Mindful Practice but later says to be Problem Oriented. The first one implies a background thread making judgments that is constantly running in the back of your mind. The second needs you to ignore everything but the problem at hand.

I’d go with the latter, esp if you’re new to the job. Let judgments accrue over time rather than go looking for them in the middle of a task at hand.

I don’t understand your comment. The French obviously shares an identity nowadays. It’s a very modern fabrication however. I mostly disagree with the commentator explaining that it originated in the États généraux. Bourgeois had common interests but the idea that it leads to a common identity is itself a fabrication of the third republic from my point of view. The nineteenth century revolutions are mostly Parisian affairs (then again it’s fairly easy to convincingly argue that Paris is France).

The point is that this shared identity didn’t exist before the revolution and the nationalist push used to justify waring with Germany under the third republic is mostly responsible for spreading it. France as a unified state is a very recent development anyway. The kings were fairly weak before Louis XIV.

Ask HN: Good resources on utilizing probability in corporate financial planning?
The context here is corporate finance at a normal, mid market services/consulting company. Lots of metrics used in planning like revenue forecasts, allocation and utilization, etc. But I have never seen any Bayesian or other probability included in the model to account for, e.g. the % chance that work will take 3 months instead of 2, or will start 2 weeks late as opposed to on time, etc. Anyone have experience in this area or can point me to a resource that might be interesting for me and a CFO?

> Surely after all this time, there would be a clear winner between Modern and Pfizer, right? There's no reason to believe both products would be equally efficacious and safe over such a time period.

Of course there's reason to believe they'd be equally efficacious and safe: because they're almost the same tech. It's like saying that a Granny Smith apple should have significantly different health effects as a Red Delicious apple just because they're different colors.
Even in research you have to "do" something with an idea, at least hang your hat on a specific prediction, or carry out the experiment.
So it will certainly be different this time around. Every financial crisis is different in its own way.

But financial crisis are rare despite all the media attention they get. Just two major crisis in the past 100 years: 1929 and 2008. There were some smaller ones but nothing compared to those two. So it's more probable that this too will not become a full-blown crisis.
I'll partially agree with you.

I have long said that attempting to frame someone should bring the same punishment the person would have faced if convicted. However, it shouldn't be automatic exoneration for the person who would have benefited. In this case it seems the attempt to destroy the data failed, the data was obtained and deemed insufficient to exonerate him. Handle it as we do in civil trials--missing evidence is presumed favorable to the other side. Now, usually that would result in an exoneration but it shouldn't be automatic--especially in cases like this where the attempt failed.
For all the effort (and money) put into making a media server as quiet as possible (which is still not silent), I think you're way further ahead to just not put the server in your living room. Instead, put it in the basement/closet/garage/utility room -- somewhere you won't hear it. Then, broadly speaking, you have three options:

A commercial box, like NVidia shield, Chromecast, Roku, Amazon Fire stick or AppleTV. This is by far the easiest as you get a remote, a "10 foot user interface" and they work with online services like Youtube, Netflix, etc. If you care about everything being open source software this obviously isn't a good option.

You can also DIY your own box on a Raspberry Pi. Be prepared to do lots of tinkering, though.

The other option is to get the media server's UI remotely. Long HDMI cable, HDMI-over-cat5 or wireless HDMI gets audio/video; some of those also do USB, or you can do wireless control if it's close enough. Almost as much tinkering as a Raspberry Pi, but could be cheaper if it's not far.

Another big benefit of the first two options is it scales to multiple clients, if you have more than one TV.

Another unverified claim and I don't accept any of it.

Point is when artistic types are pushed into a corner they come up with this kind of handwavy stuff about being human or whatever, the point being the fuzzier the claim the harder it is to dispute.

Art needs to at least try to be as rigorous as science, as it stands it so often lets itself down.
I agree. I think on-call is a big gotcha of the industry and different companies I've been at wildly succeed or fail at this. Some of it can be more team-driven even if corporate isn't on board.

Good-ish example:
- On-call T1 was mostly business hours
- T2 during off-hours/weekend
- Decently large rotation so you're on-call less frequently than every ~6 weeks

Bad Example:
- Escalation goes to another team that likely doesn't know much about the system
- T1 24hrs/day
- Small team so on-call is fairly frequent

Both of these are still not good examples though. There's no compensation for the on-call hours. The team in my "good" example recognized heavy on-call load and was okay with taking some time off after a heavy on-call week "off books" but that's flimsy at best.

I think this would be a great case for a union personally. Engineers have done very well but I don't think there's enough desire to fix this without a centralized coordinator like a union.

I love godot, but I have a few doubts on its performance. I guess it still has good performance because it's lightweight, but I'm not sure of how fast gdscript can be.

I've tried using gdnative, and even though it's going to be phased out in favor of gdextension, using gdnative is fastidious, it has many undocumented pitfalls which will make your code crash or just do nothing silently. You cannot create objects yourself, everything goes through godot allocators.

But it still feels immensely better than using unity. A long time went by since ogre3d, and there is finally an open source engine that is worth using.
Mir is a poor example. Government simply started to issue the paychecks through Mir, and this was a big deal in a country where government owns a huge share of the entire economy.
It's not the exact same binary - that's the point. It is different instruction sets, with potentially different optimisations. They're even compiled with different compilers - what looks like a GCC 12.1.1 snapshot for x86, and GCC 12.1.0 for ARM64.

It might be the same C, it might have hand-coded assembly for important bits in x86 but not in ARM, or vice versa, it might be just one specific algorithm executes particularly well on one CPU rather than the other, it might be that the slightly different version of GCC did a new optimisation.

edit: they're also comparing an actively cooled laptop to a passive one - so you would expect M2 to throttle in longer benchmarks, for extra distortion.

The methodology is flawed. It lets you cherry pick some individual results, and if your particular usecase is in there, great. But you don't know what state the M2 was in when a test started (eg if it was already hot and throttling, etc).

It's basically impossible to draw any useful generalised conclusions from these benchmarks.
Setup an out-of-office autoresponder with a colleague who is covering your absence and your manager's contact info for any escalations (talk to them and let them know you beforehand).

This has always worked for me. I setup a catchup meeting with the team member who covered for me and a separate meeting with my manager to get up to speed.

This has always worked for me.

And return the favor when it is your colleague's turn for the vacation.
Certainly not. Cache API is a useful API that can enable faster web apps by skipping network calls altogether. It also enables offline-capable web apps. I regularly use this API to speed up my web apps -- both personal and professional. I recently wrote about using Cache API to make a web app work entirely offline: [0].

Also, I think you may be mistaken about being "(kinda) server-push" - Cache API is entirely client-driven: the server can't push items into that cache; the client (usually a service worker) must choose to do so. I don't know what you mean when you say it's like server push.

Yep. Even the 14 & 16" MBP with M1 Pros stay much cooler & quieter than your typical AMD/Intel Windows laptop.

Silence is golden, and even on the odd occasion where the fan on the 14" M1 Pro starts spinning (e.g. running Cinebench to purposefully max all cores), it's extremely difficult to notice without your ear right up against the laptop.

By comparison, my Windows work laptops (previously an XPS 15, now a ThinkPad T14 Gen2) become plainly audible from 10ft+ away just attending a Teams meeting.
This isn't the way house hunting works in most markets today (well, at least up until a few months ago). You need to consider each property as it comes up and decide whether to make an offer or not.

Either you use broad filter criteria and you look at a few houses before you say "this is a better option than what we've seen, let's make an offer". In which case you can ignore the filter for purposes of fitting the house search to the secretary problem.

Or like the parent post, you think you can express what you're looking for exactly through facts that appear in the ads, in which case you look at a few houses, then you buy the first house to appear that exceeds best of what you've seen.

What you do not have in most markets is the option to go back and buy a house you looked at two weeks ago. Houses that sit on the market aren't houses that are appealing to buyers who intend to live in them.
I think it's worse than slightly more toxic, it would be virtually unsellable.

People with decent credit will simply get a new loan for 70% of their principal; kind of like refinancing.

That means rather than having to buy both the good and bad loans in bulk, firms can cherry pick the loans they want to buy.

Any loans left after that cherry picking will have already been turned down by the potential buying firms. They're effectively un-sellable, because everyone has already turned down buying them by refusing to issue a new loan in it's place.

Still, there's some questions you'd want to ask that would be an immediate red flag but regardless of answer outcome you still want a job offer since you are interviewing multiple places in parallel and you don't know how picky you can be. You end up not asking those questions because they'd put your "culture fit" at risk. You can ask other questions and try to read between the lines but bottom line it's tough to know exactly what you're getting into no matter how much access you get.

Early this year I spent 3 or 4 months job searching for my next role and ended up not taking any of the 3 offers because something seemed off at all of them. After I got the offers the recruiters turned into used car salesmen which was also a different, terrible experience. So even if you do end up with the insight it can be a gigantic waste of time.

> A lot of people in Greece simply didn't pay taxes because they could easily get away with it. It might be okay if a few people do it, but if everyone does it, it destabilises the country and the damage will go beyond politicians losing their seats.

No. It's deeply rooted in Greek culture to the point that VAT is basically an optional tax for most entrepreneurs. Virtually nobody at all pays VAT on cash sales in Greece, and there's virtually no enforcement on it, so the only risk of getting caught is if you've pissed off someone with connections.

So everyone does it, and Greece is reasonably stable.

EDIT

Checking out some of those "1,200 peer-reviewed studies showing the harms of COVID vaccines" now. First one specifically says the side effect in question (neurological issues) is rare, which makes me feel the need to point this out: no one with any medical background would ever say a treatment is 100% safe and side-effect free. The question is whether the risks of spreading COVID are worse than the risks of side effects. If a side effect is rare enough, then it shouldn't be considered a reason to reject the vaccines or to say they're "not safe". Specifically in this first source, it says the effects were seen in 7/37000 (0.018%) of the mRNA vaccine trials; in the J&J trial, ONE patient had the effect in the vaccine group, but also ONE patient had the same outcome in the control group, so that's irrelevant. They list effects reported in the wild as of March 2021, but all of them are numbered less than 200 (most less than 35) out of the many thousands of people who had received vaccines by then.

In other words, his argument seems to be "side effects exist, therefore these aren't safe", without regard for the risk-vs-benefit analysis; but that's not a sound definition of safety.

The second source is a case study of literally one person. A sample size of 1.

The third source has a sample size of 2. After reading that, I'm done analyzing this any further, as I think I've gotten the gist of this man's argument.

"This medical treatment has a nonzero risk of side effects, therefore it's unsafe and we should think twice about giving it to people, regardless of the greater risks if we don't. Anyone who disagrees with me or doesn't want to bother arguing with me about it clearly is part of a conspiracy to cover up the truth from good people like me!"

I'm not a medical expert, though I do have a bit more background in medicine than most non-experts, but this guy can go pound sand with his persecution complex and dangerously invalid logic.
I'm an iOS user and spent 6 years working in the bowels of adtech. I'm generally skeptical of the industry. Apple's posture and position here seems like a net good for me as a user.

Apple's and Facebook's approaches are totally different. Facebook vacuumed up reams of data from themselves and third parties and spat it back out into the industry indiscriminately. It _did_ likely allow some niche businesses to reach target audiences. It _also_ created and enabled a rube goldberg machine of third parties to access behavioral data in a way that likely made it personally identifiable. The same was true of most third party platforms. Cookies were fundamentally broken and users have no idea what data they were creating and no meaningful control of how it was being consumed (or by whom). All sorts of harm was done in ways that was difficult to quantify.

Apple giving individuals meaningful control over their data within Apple's ecosystem and protecting anonymity at the boundary of their platform is a net good. Apple's segmentation and targeting of users is fundamentally different than cookie based targeting utilizing 3P data. The fact that this hurt parties who unknowingly relied on 3P data in good faith is a sad externality, but nobody should lose sleep over it. I wouldn't feel bad about mom and pop groceries losing revenue from cigarette sales either.
