> So banks are incentivised to not create debt that is too-risky -- i.e. where the ratio of potential non-performing loans is too high for the interest rate they lend at, or the interest rate of raising expensive additional capital would get too high...

Thereoretically yes. However, 2008 moral hazard (heads I win, tails you lose) of excessive mortgage lending and securitisation put paid to that notion. Staff of bailed out banks were getting their bonuses again in 2009[1].

It also touches on the principal/agent problem, where bank executives and traders don't really care if the shareholders get wiped out and the taxpayer picks up the tab. They'll get their bonus and bounce to the next opportunity if the bank itself goes belly up.

Additionally, the Justice Department refused to bring criminal charges against bank exectutives[2].

So, you'll load up on risk to make excess short term profit, maybe your bank will go bust, but you'll never face charges and may get a nice bonus next year at your bank, or bounce to the next bank. Must be nice.

> a group of friends want to go to the sauna

You are looking at this as one specific instance of an event, like this is a static system. What I am talking about is if you look at a ongoing series of "Here is a group of friends that like to hangout together (i.e, there is established affinity) and want to find something to do."

Do you agree that all it takes is one member of the group to say "I will definitely not go to sauna, how about we go {to non-nudist lake/ out for an ice-cream / make a pic-nic at the park / outdoor cinema} instead?" to cause a substantial drop in overall "friends going to the sauna events"?

> The activity is exclusive if you're invited. That some don't want to go doesn't mean it isn't.

Of course it is exclusive. It's not about "does not want to go", it is inviting to do something that violates their core beliefs. It doesn't mean that the excluded person "needs to feel offended" or "take it as a micro-aggression" or any other woke BS like that... but it is undeniable that if part of the group (frequently) opts into an exclusionary activity instead of something that all can do, then these people should really evaluate if they are really close friends.
Here's a description of it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57478728

Basically, glibc uses dlopen to open certain shared libraries for things like nsswitch and locales. Using dlopen in a program that's statically linked to glibc causes all kinds of issues, as you'll likely end up with multiple copies of potentially different versions of glibc in the same process.
None of these books seem like they would explain central banking. Some of them were even written before our modern system of central banking.

I enjoyed this textbook on the topic for a ground up explanation to a lay person.

What you’re probably missing is the two weeks of concerted effort we put in to design an appeal and then a PR campaign to get Apple to actually listen to us. iSH would not be on the store otherwise.

That distinction only matters when you have / and /usr separate, which basically never makes any sense in practicality.

There is some case to throw /usr/share on separate partition as some packages dump quite a lot data there (kicad for example dumps part libraries there which are like 5+GB), but that's the single case in "basically never" I had something mounted in or under /usr.

But honestly, if you have a case of "I REALLY need a rescue environment that's statically compiled".... just throw a busybox binary on your root partition somewhere. Most distros have it in "busybox-static" package.

> It was discussed a few month ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31336396

That just seems mostly BSD being silly stubborn to be honest.
That's the common argument against static linking in general, it's not glibc-specific (or honestly very interesting).
I find it really depends on how motivated I am for the task. If I’m really motivated I can focus for hours and not feel bad at all.

And yet every biography and early employee of SpaceX will say otherwise about Musk's importance to the success of the company. Shotwell however does not get enough credit in the eye of the general public (she's quite popular among people who keep up with SpaceX), Musk has always emphasized how important she was/is for securing contracts for them and keeping engineering from going too wild.

Like when Musk wanted to cancel Falcon Heavy because it was turning out to be much more challenging than expected, was a dead end in terms of Mars ambitions and Falcon 9 had improved enough that it basically took most of the launches FH had been intended for, but she pushed for them to work on it anyway because IIRC they had enough potential customers lined up to go forward with it.
And yet history has usually proven them right to have this kind of attitude. The first instance of everything is ludicrously expensive and commercially non-viable as it is. Then it gets cheaper and easier and eventually commonplace and boring.

It's often the case that the commercial applications for a technology are not apparent to the researchers doing the research. They're focusing on the science/engineering challenges. Later, sometimes much later, it becomes part of an economically-viable product or service.

One thing I'd love to read more about is how banks, larger and smaller ones, handle liquidity outflows. Do banks have to cooperate to ensure that transfers caused by loans - e.g. customers paying for equipment with a transfer to another bank - mostly net out between them and the "real money" mostly stays within the system?
Computational Storage Comes One Step Closer with Launch of Official Specs
Afaik he did know programming at a basic level, which back in those days meant that he knew enough to get something working without all of the tools, etc that we have today.

But it was Woz who was the true hardware/software talent; he spent his childhood designing processors that he didn't have the money to build. He was fascinated with circuits & electronics & processors.

Steve worked at Atari but got Woz in to do the circuit for breakout, Steve had no idea how it worked and couldn't have done it himself. When Atari paid for the work he shafted Woz by giving him a _much_ smaller amount than half of what he received.

Steve's skills mostly seem to have settled in the management/figurehead role. People say that he had excellent vision for design but realistically I think he had skills in none of the areas that he hired people to do and that his major skill was as company head, tying everything and everyone together into a cohesive unit.

He was very demanding and threw tantrums, but that's still human; however episodes like when Woz left Apple to go and invent the universal remote, he sent a prototype to Jobs and Jobs smashed it against the wall in a rage. Dude had power trip/anger issues to the max.

We can't forget that Microsoft/Bill Gates bailed Apple out at one point, too. I'd say this is likely a failing of their market at the time; Apple's market of doe eyed "it just works" fans didn't exist/wasn't large enough at that point in time. Nowadays, they don't have anything to worry about.

I, Woz; Steve Wozniak's autobiography is a great read for a bit more info into Jobs. He tells it like it was, though maybe slightly muted due to the fact that the two were still friends. The official Jobs bio is just revisionist prose.

Frogs are a protected specie in france: you can catch some for personal "use" but there are quotas. So all the frogs you eat in restaurants come from elsewhere in europe. Could explain the evolution.

> it ends up breaking down as soon as you need to interact with anything outside of that specific language's ecosystem.

It works OK in nuget on Windows, due to the different approach taken by the OS maintainer.

A DLL compiled 25 years ago for Windows NT stills work on a modern Windows, as long as the process is 32-bit. A DLL compiled 15 years ago for 64-bit Vista will still work on a modern Windows without issues at all.

People who need native code in their nuget packages are simply shipping native DLLs, often with static link to C runtime. Probably the most popular example of such package is SQLite.

> I very highly recommend people to learn how to write and create Linux packages if they need to distribute software.

I agree. When working on embedded Linux software where I control the environment and don’t care about compatibility with different Linuxes or different CPU architectures, I often package my software into *.deb packages.
...they even use fake text length error messages to prevent you from submitting negative reviews.
What I did:

1.) I wrote a review with 5 stars and tried to submit it. There was a red error message saying the text would be below 600 characters so I couldn't submit it.

2.) I copied a lengthy random text into the submission field so it was 1000 characters++ - still the same error message

3.) I switched to a 6 star rating. Suddenly the error message magically disappeared and I could submit it.

4.) I toggled back and forth between 4, 5, 6 and 7 stars. After a few tries I could submit the review with 5/10 on Sept 5th.

5.) I even got a confirmation email with a link where I can track my contribution. Text said "Thank you for your contribution - this item is awaiting processing by our data editors. Estimated processing date - 6 September 2022"

6.) You can guess yourself if my review has been processed... Like all other reviews below 6/10, it doesn't show up on the review page. 6/10 is still the lowest reviews available: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7631058/reviews?sort=userRating...

We've had reports of deleted reviews, too. I guess it's clear that they're manipulating on a large scale. I wouldn't be surprised if the 6.7 overall rating is manipulated, too.

If you're comparing with solar, it seems fair to assume a level of energy usage that could reasonably be supplied by solar. We're not going to cover the planet in solar panels.

With that assumption, fission can last for a very long time if we get uranium from the oceans, and burn it in fast reactors. The oceans hold four billion tons of uranium, and with fast reactors we'd use it a hundred times more efficiently than we do today.

It's not a "conflict of interest" to have started work on a blockchain thing, and then realised it was garbage.

What percentage of people do you think realise how modern banking works? In my experience when I talk to people, universally the answer is "they take money from Alice and lend it to Bob, the difference in rates is how they make money".

I wonder if a survey about this has ever been done, but I suspect only a very small percentage of people really realise that banks, private banks, simply create the money they loan you themselves, as they wish.

Reminds me of that quote: "if the average man realised how our banks work, there would be revolution in the streets tomorrow".

Well I guess my comment was around the assertion that people would buy the Commercial service solely for emergencies, so in my view the PLB would fine if your use was only for Emergency Rescue.

If you need the other features then that makes a different argument but the original statement was that iPhone feature would kill these over devices because iPhone could be used to send emergency messages.

Ok the contrary, to me the experience is a first class component of why I go out to eat. So I think the analogy with the leaky pipes applies.

Dining out simply isn’t just about being fed. The restaurant can’t just say “hey you consumed the calories, so MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!”

If I have a bad experience, I’m being stiffed by the establishment. I mean think what else is baked into the food’s sticker price: restaurant decor, music, ambiance, etc. Those are things you’re paying for. It’s why the price of food is higher than the grocery store.

I don't think that comparison holds. What Apple is doing is making a crucial rescue tool, the distress beacon, near-ubiquitous. In a few years, any major-ish emergency involving people rich enough to own iPhones will have a working distress beacon around. This isn't like an InReach that you get and subscribe because you expect you might end up in an emergency, this is something that'll be around without even an awareness of danger and the optics of letting that potential go to waste carry a cost as well. Imagine a plane goes down in a remote area, a dozen iPhones on board but no one got the subscription. They might even end up eating the costs for genuine distress calls just for the marketing value of the iPhone saving hundreds of lives a year, or they might just charge a large sum for non-subscription distress calls and eat the cost in case the bear got there first.

Besides, if they included a few tweet-sized non-emergency text messages and location updates a day in a reasonably priced subscription, I bet that would sell like hotcakes in outdoorsy circles. People bring their phone anyway, so 2-3 iPhones on your party might make the InReach redundant. I'd love that.
