You do get a collateral with Jeonse. You will have claim to the property under the insolvency law.

Of course there might be competing claims that may take precedence. Usually mortgage or prior loans. So you are supposed to do research on the property before signing a jeonse. There are also insurances for Jeonse as well.

Having said this, I still agree that Jeonse is crazy. I think South Korea is due for a huge painful recession when the housing, construction and capital market collapses due to Jeonse domino and the Legoland fiasco.
> original sin

You’re not wrong, this kind of thinking can actually be a diversion from solving problems. I mean, if you can blame things you don’t necessarily remember and perhaps even your parents, there might be some sense that you can pass the buck and therefor responsibility for getting better or doing better.

At the same time, I think the idea isn’t necessarily that some huge traumatic thing had to occur. In fact it could have been fairly innocuous or mild. What people do though, sometimes, is reiterate certain events to such a degree that their psychological response and the neurological pathways it follows become excessively worn in. Those pathways become easier to follow and more likely to be followed. Getting anxious about this, feeling stupid about that, feeling shame about that. The more it happens, the easier it is to feel it.

It isn’t so much that we blame a single event and move on, but that we try to understand the source of various developments. Try to understand what experiences informed certain behaviours.

At the end of the day, whether you were 6, 16, or 26, any event which shaped you is still your responsibility to address in this current moment. There’s no blame to pass or responsibility to offload. We can’t blame the universe for our nature because if we’re unhappy with the way we are, we’re still the only ones who can do something about it. Whether it was caused by childhood trauma or aliens. The end result is your personal accountability in every moment.

There does seem to be credibility to the idea of minor traumas being very influential during formative years. It doesn’t have to have happened to all of us of course, but as children we do internalize things like crazy. One major theme I see is when caregivers are present but emotionally unavailable. When kids are isolated in this way, it seems very benign on the outside yet also seems to be able to cause major issues in kids early on and late into their lives. It becomes much less common to be influenced by experiences in the same way by the time we hit puberty, for example. We internalize much less and confront things we’re uncomfortable with, if not with peers or family then with ourselves. In our formative years we simply lack that ability.
Whatever else dollars might be, they are not money. They are debt instruments. They say so right on themselves, in big all-caps letters, right at the top: "FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE". A "note" is a security that obligates repayment of debt.

Money is the thing that would be used to repay the debt.

Whether we like it or not, willing or not, regardless of our judgement of their ability to repay the debt, literally almost individual, institution, and nation in the world is a creditor to the fed.
Everybody can multiply money, but only the government (and it’s entities) can make it.

Turns out, multiplying money is way more impactful than making it, much to the confusion of people who learned economics when M2 money supply was an economically relevant metric.

(This phenomenon manifested as the Fed targeting interest rates rather than money supply, starting in the late 20th Century).
That is an awesome crate!

> Yeah. I worked on her quite a bit.

That’s a hell of a thing. It sounds coercive, if not non-consensual. You convinced her, she did not convince herself; you worked on her quite a bit.
That’s incorrect, as the original article explains. Absent QE (which the BOE explains in this article can result in both creation and destruction of money, depending on complex factors) money is usually created and destroyed without any influence from central authorities. You can read the article for a detailed explanation, but the simple version is that the financial sector as a whole can increase/decrease the entire balance sheet together. Yes assets and liabilities are balanced, but if the size of the balance sheet grows then there are more liabilities and this more money.
As someone who is pretty familiar with Japanese culture, feminism has almost nothing to do with this problem.

I have no idea why this post is relevant and it kinds of scares me that it is.

Edit: There are clearly cultural issues at play, but I don't know many "feminists", maybe just a lot of disappointed, disillusioned women, as sad as it is for me to say this.
The worst part is when those blobs are signed, then you can't reverse engineer them and replace them with open firmware.
They did an experiment that makes mice appear old and be old by every metric we know of. Frailty, organ degradation, everything. And they did this with a specific mechanism. This is literally the most important step in solving aging that has ever happened. There is a high probability that we have discovered the cause of aging. Nobody gives a shit? Was it even in the news? A post on the front page about teslas crashing has 2000 comments and there’s a few people in here and only to move the goalposts? What the hell is going on?

The economy wide sum might be zero. But still the $100 have been created, right?

Imagine an economy where there is no money at all. Nobody can buy anything.

Now Alice and Bob agree that Alice owes Bob $100.

Now Bob has $100 in his books.

Bob now can go to Charles and buy 50 apples from Charles. And in return give Charles 50% of the "Alice owes me $100" claim.

Now Bob and Charles each have $50 in their books.

And on an on it goes, the "created" $100 floating through the economy.
I'm not sure this is correct -- a bank could create money by issuing loans without needing a central bank account. The central bank account provides banks with extra liquidity, but it isn't required to create deposits.

> expected to read something novel around increasing public investment in education

Funding for education has gone up for decades (even when accounting for inflation) and results have been flat.

> but the advice seems to be plain old protectionism, which has been shown to not work and only lead to domestic companies not remaining competitive.

In a truly free market, sure, but that is not the reality of our current order. If nothing else, America-based labor and corporations must compete at a disadvantage relative to their offshored counterparts because of the regulatory and tax burden our government places on them. Perhaps you think those burdens are warranted, but if so it is only fair that the scales be balanced so that Americans can actually compete. To do otherwise is simply to incentivize offshoring to companies that do not provide the level of labor protections we expect here in the West (e.g. Apple using Foxconn as a manufacturing partner).

There are other benefits to tariffs, including that they are far less intrusive to the freedoms of the ordinary citizen (the income tax leading to the IRS is one of the most invasive aspects of the the modern state).

Lastly, some level of protectionism may be warranted if only to preserve domestic supply chains for critical industries, at least in a regulatory environment that otherwise favors offshoring.
They're the only participants who are allowed
to loan out an unlimited amount of money

I'm not talking about loaning. I'm talking about "A and B agree that A owes B $100".
Many societies used money with inherent value, maybe even most societies. Are gold and silver objectively nothing?

Sure, high trust societies used IOUs successfully, but modern society is not high trust so we have traditionally used things with inherent value for trade, and any IOU-based money needs to be ultra-regulated to function well (which always ends in failure).

Notice how people escaping a collapsing country can always spend their saved gold, but as soon as society has a crisis, hyperinflation destroys fiat currency. That’s because the first case is a currency with inherent value, and the other is an IOU from a society that doesn’t exist anymore.

Thinking all money has never been objectively anything is a mistake.
Doesn’t the average house use 30kwh per day. So you’d need one of these per 2-3 houses. At 5000 kg that doesn’t sound reasonable.

Yea they have claims to it but they may not have the first position. The property owner may have got a mortgage, or have used it for a collateral in another loan.

You are supposed to look at the existing interests in the property before signing a Jeonse but not everyone does that. Besides there are fraud schemes that involves property owner going into debt just before you sign which is pretty bonkers.
I would also recommend his book: high output management. It holds true, even as it was written before email
To be honest, my reasons for preferring Rust have little to do with any of this. Yes I think Rust is a nicer language, but it also does get in the way a bit more than C++.

The real reason is that C++ feels ancient and creaky. Packaging? Nope. Build system? Yeah, set it up yourself. Easy to use build tools? Erm no. Reasonable error messages with templates? Lol.

Macros and templates feel both central to the language and like hacks. Syntax is also borderline unreadable; double ampersands, lambdas all look like a cat walked across the keyboard.

I'm not hating on C++, I have many happy memories of using it, but Rust feels just so much user friendly.
Thankyou for sharing such a nice and relevant quote, and the context around it.
Sensorwatch looks nice. However I just recently learned that the Casio F-91W (also worn by US president Obama) has become known as the “Terrorist Watch" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_F-91W#Usage_in_terrorism). And allegedly wearing it would put you under scrutiny of US immigration / homeland security agencies. Replacing the board would not exactly help in that situation I guess :) Then again you could probably travel the rest of the world with it without problems.

> Is declining birth rate really that bad?

Declining is not bad. Declining too fast seems to be bad, because then society will go through a dire strait with too much people becoming elderly simultaneously, without enough young people around for proper support.

Yes I remember something similar on Sun Fire 6800.

Another issue was a firmware bug on the Sun Netra X1 where rebooting or updating the lom would result in a reset of the host. Not fun with UFS without logging enabled.
One hundred and thirty years later the decade of the Black Death saw plague kill twice as many in absolute numbers as the Mongols.

I will openly say I think Rust is an all-around better language. If you are building general-purpose systems software, or just want to write fast software, use Rust.

If you are fiddling with bits, doing low-level concurrency, writing a GC/Memory Manager etc, or have self-referential datastructures like graphs or trees, you're going to have an order of magnitude easier time writing it in C++. (Rust-experts excepted)

Also, the developer experience writing C++ is worse than Rust by miles. Though the tooling (fuzzing, LSP, debugging, sanitizers, etc) is stellar, likewise with Rust.
The moral: stop worrying about productivity and get back to living and loving.

Also, stop wasting hours a day reading HN.

AWS Closed My New Account
I opened a new AWS account for business, in mid-December 2021.

Since opening I had not used the account, as I was finishing off old work in the existing account.

About twenty days after opening, I came to log in, and found the account had been deleted a few days before.

I had an email account specifically for AWS, for this account, which I checked now and then only, and in particular around this time I had not checked at all as I was experiencing (read "bedbound and aching all over"), and then recovering from, covid.

I examined the account, and found there was an email giving me one day of notice before the account was deleted.

In fact, there were two warning emails on the same day, in early January, giving different account closure dates, and of the two, the most recently received gave the one day of notice, and this it turned out was correct - an email came the next day informing me the account had been deleted.

In the two emails giving me notice the account was suspended, AWS asked for additional information about me and my business.

The emails begin by making a small ask - "at this time, we need you to confirm your address information" - and request for a utility bill.

You read that, and think, well, that seems perfectly reasonable.

Then you read on, and it progressively goes from address and utility bill, to;

* The billing address and phone number of the payment method on the AWS account

* The billing phone number of the payment method on the AWS account

* Business name and phone number

* The URL for your website

* A contact phone number where you can be reached for additional information

* Your reasons for using Amazon Web Services

It is repugnant, both for asking so much, and the way in which it goes about asking, by pretending at first to be reasonable, and then by the time you reach the end of the email, having become grasping.

All this is for an account which literally had not been used, not at all, not once, and was already most of a month old.

I may be wrong, but I think what this actually is, is AWS phishing for personal information, using security as a pretence, and that the account has been suspended as a coercive measure, for we must also consider the twenty day delay - I can imagine it will often be the case by this time, the account owner will have servers running, testing or running some systems they've made - and then the account is suspended. They cannot shut down those servers. They MUST hand over the information AWS demand.

I think companies more than anything want your phone numbers. Phone numbers are the modern unique identifier; they rarely change and cost money to obtain. Third party data collators collate based on phone number.
Must be a bug on the site. For USD it shows me a weird currency I've no idea what it is, but the dropdown reliably converts to €53,839.49 EUR, £47,858.65 GBP and $78,209.08 CAD. As they were consistent, I converted EUR->USD myself.

> you'd be allowed to bring it with you back to Canada, right?

You’d never be able to get a foreign prescription filled in Canada, federal and provincial regulations forbid that. Brining medicine back would be fine, but then you can’t get more without an expensive flight again.

If I lived near the US border I’d just get an American doctor and get prescriptions filled in America, but I’m nowhere even remotely close to the border.
Kirby vacuum cleaner.

Bought it in 1999. Don't even remember how much I paid for it but they are usually pretty pricey. Yet I Still have it and going just as strong. I've taken it in to local Kirby service store for "tune-up" twice in these 24 years (both when moving) where they just adjust stuff and blow out motor, etc. But other than that it has had just belts and bags over the years as that is all it has needed. I also replaced the cord with a longer one 10 years ago. At this rate it may outlast me. I've actually considered just trading it in for a newer model for no other reason than just wanting something newer looking.
The word shaman has an interesting etymology. One theory is that it's derived from the Sanskrit word śramaṇa [1]. The sramana movement was itself a counterculture movement against the Vedic religion which had decayed and had been monopolized by the elites. Buddhism, Jainism and Ajivikas were born out this movement.

I’m not saying the central authorities create money, I’m saying they confer the privilege to do so. Minor players do not truly create money in this way because they are isolated from the financial sector as a whole. They don’t get to play at the big boys table, so their contribution is zero sum.

Gerudo Link?
In “The Oldest Cure In The World” (by Steve Hendricks) I’m reading about researchers who discovered that mice lived to be the human equivalent of 120+ years old just by fasting them.

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/fasting...

The book really likes to crap on big pharma and conventional medicine for largely ignoring fasting as a medical treatment for a litany of diseases, since it’s not very profitable to tell your patient to just stop eating for a while.

While I think the discoveries are cool, I can’t help but wonder if the ultimate goal is to encapsulate anti-aging in a profitable pill form that might have the same effect as a dietary fast.
There are too many names for the BMCs, even within a single vendor. BMC, ILO, LOM, DRAC, iDRAC, etc

When a bank without a fed account gives a loan without a deposit, where does it the money come from? How would this even work?
> I am really surprised that the system works at all.

I hold the same view, but IMO it's proof that we don't actually understand how the system works. Whatever mental model of it we're holding is probably a mere caricature of the actual thing. If it wasn't, we'd understand exactly how and why it works, and we'd be able to take advantage of it.

Just like the philosophers/nerds who are not successful with women and often punt that women are a mystery.
> Your note about them not falling in makes me wonder if Google had a different answer?

It's the kind of question that's asked in interviews because it has several answers and a good candidate should be able to think it through and suggest a reasonable number of them and demonstrate their ability to creatively think through a problem. That round covers can't fall in seems one of the simplest and most important, given that a cover that falls in could kill or seriously injure a worker.

I hate to be that guy but this news highlights some blatantly incompetent security protocols (especially key management) by a company that we should expect better from. Even something as simple as a Vault (HashiCorp) cluster with decentralized key shares would’ve prevented this. I’m really disappointed in CircleCI. There’s no way I’d trust them after this.
Hell No!

> so that the way you interact with the world is something you have control of.

You have much more control interacting with the web through a browser than any random app. You can view source code and data, disable JS, styles, or images, run bookmarklets, extensions, and user styles to modify pages, and do other stuff that *no* apps match.

> Who would knowingly have code downloaded to your machine which then opens connections to some unnamed IP address?

Don't most desktop and mobile apps do this also? At least with a browser you can open the networks tab and see exactly what URLs are hit.

> Bookmarks, seriously

Bookmarks are fine mostly. And there's plenty of other ways to save URLs.

> The OS independent display architecture that is (supposed to be) HTML is tolerable

I think it's bloody amazing we now have a viable OS-neutral way to distribute and view documents and apps. As a developer I find web tech pretty straightforward, though the JS ecosystem has become a bit crazy. I think it will all work out in the end though.

> (I am a typography snob and hate how web pages look)

Well change it. Unlike apps, you can change the way web pages look. You can delete parts of pages, change the layout, fonts and colors.
But Charles will say he can’t take a debt as payment unless it is done through a party his bank trusts, which will be other banks with fed accounts. Sure it’s possible to setup a parallel banking system, but who would use it?
Any bank could loan out an infinite amount of money. If you come to a bank and ask for a loan (and they approve), the bank will create the loan (an asset on their balance sheet) and a matching deposit (a liability on their balance sheet). They could do this an unlimited number of times, as long as the deposits they create are recognized and accepted by the economy. Generally banks will have some reserves (currency, accounts they can draw on, etc) to pay out people when they withdraw from their deposits, at their discretion

The problem comes if people try to withdraw or move their deposits, and the bank does not have reserves to cover the withdrawal. In these cases, the bank would need to sell some of it's assets -or- borrow money from somewhere else. If they can't liquidate assets fast enough, they have a liquidity crunch and will need to borrow or sell the company. If the value of the assets is below the amount being withdrawn, they're insolvent.

The Fed can act as a lender of last resort in liquidity times, but if a bank is insolvent they likely won't be able to post collateral to get loans from the Fed.
