It’s not. That JPMorgan wound up buying it means literally nobody else submitted a valid bid, because the OCC and FDIC would have much preferred to not waive rules in making this happen. (Remember, too, the $30bn the big guys deposited with First Republic in March [1].)

> the "wild-type" breeds with more genetic variability are often much, much more challenging for human owners.

I think this depends wildly on what sort of environment the dog is from. I'm currently on my first dog and he's damn near trivial to train, I'm quite surprised to be honest.

He's a rescue. The first year of his life he has spent "in the wild", though I figure he was probably around villages a lot. I had a DNA test done, and there's no trace of any breed going back at least three generations. He has a keen sense of what sort of people to trust. He steers clear of drunks and is very open towards kids. The way I figure is the environment he was in puts evolutionary pressure towards cute kind dogs, as the best way to survive in a village is by getting people to give you food.

So while yes, with a mutt you don't know what you're getting, that doesn't mean all mutts are hard pets to own. The most firm I have to be in correcting my dog is going "Ed, don't."
I see your point of course, it's easy for me to think I'm right and these guys are wrong and they do probably think the same. That doesn't mean that neither of us is correct though. And you do draw the line somewhere. You would not allow a discussion to emerge here on whether pedophilia should be allowed, how Ukraine is actually an aggressor or about how the American elections were stolen - at least it seems that you moderate these topics swiftly. When similarly unhinged political topics emerge from more marginal countries like Brazil or India, I find that the discussion tends to be polarized by the interaction of users who really care about the topic, while most of the community stands aside. The problem is that most of these users are extremists. As a result, these threads devolve into toxicity and are very far from the standards we are used to seeing.

From my part I also contributed to that in this instance. I understand what you're trying to say and in the future I'll try to keep in mind your larger point - even if I firmly believe I'm right and I would like to convince someone, being rude or dismissive does not actually help, and certainly does not foster a good sense of community. So, I'm not trying to excuse the two comments you correctly called me out for.

On the other hand, perhaps you should consider that your own personal bias about what is legitimate discussion and what isn't is obviously limited by your own knowledge pool and bias. I would not expect you to know how close Brazil came to an actual military coup, or that this "Supreme Court dictatorship" discourse is the backdrop of the justification for a possible coup which is still a threat. I don't think much would be lost at all if these discussions are simply suppressed in HN, in the same way I see you delete submissions about the Ukraine war that are very clearly deranged. And if not, you really should not expect a calm, rational discussion starting around a perspective that defends dictatorship or war.
Because network coverage in Germany is pretty bad, so you are mostly out of reach from networks when traveling by train. It's gotten better over the years since I moved here. But I'm basically still offline 80% of the journey between Berlin and my parents place in the Netherlands. As soon as you cross the border into NL, it's fine. It's a German issue. You have this effect on all its borders. You travel to the border, you are basically offline. As soon as you cross it into Poland, France, Denmark, etc. it's suddenly fine.

Of course train wifi on intercities has the same issues since it relies on the same infrastructure. Even when it works, it tends to be a pretty poor experience and the network is low speed, over subscribed, etc.

You sure it’s not the other way around? As far as I can tell what’s actually happening is business has taken over government.

Nope, the IPC was hugely different in the MHZ wars days.

Pentium III had 20% higher IPC than Pentium 4 Northwood; AMD K8 (Athlon 64) had 35% higher IPC than Pentium 4 Prescott.

Same in the RISC vs CISC days: Pentium had 33% higher IPC than the original PowerPC 601. Late generation RISCs like Alpha were a completely different beast again, with the DEC Alpha 21264 (EV6) having 25% higher IPC than Pentium III.

It was never obvious back then, and it was also never obvious since then.

IPC keeps rising among different architectures. A couple years ago Apple overtook Intel, and ARM did as well.
Exactly this. I've no idea why this ideology is considered progressive, when it's just a medically-constructed reification of conservative ideals regarding gender roles. Seems awfully regressive to me.

> So if you can’t afford to wait, the bonds you’re holding aren’t worth their full value to anyone you could sell them to.

Bonds are easy to value if you assume full timely repayment, take the net present value of each payment, and that's what it's worth. (You may disagree about the NPV, if you disagree about the interest rate to use, but the shape of the calculation is clear) Sure, at redemption, it will be worth something else, but USD today and USD in a year are not the same unit, you need a conversion.

I agree. And to finance it, everyone should serve a year of their life for public services like that. So it does not look like, that we want public goods, but someone else but not me has to do the work. The tax burden is already so high.
>"The chair of the CMA, its chief executive and the rest of the board are appointed by the business secretary of the elected government" if I'm reading this correctly, UK citizens elect a government, the government appoints a business secretary, and then the business secretary appoints the entire CMA?

You should see the European Commission.

Social function of work. If you do it yourself, what will she do?

If you come up with a solution freeing hundreds of people doing some monkey jobs some in Germany will consider this evil, since people are losing their means of earning salary. This is more difficult with the officials, since they have guaranteed employment.

Why is that? Would a VPN not make it safe against most threat models? I mean assuming you are not working at a place where government actors are trying to target you specifically.

Or can they inject something to force the VPN to disable and hope non-encrypted data gets transmitted?

In what sense? I'm not complaining about it, just observing that the article appears to defend it as elected when it is unelected. Smith's complaint potentially being factually true doesn't make it a valid criticism.

I wouldn't use Celtic is an example of "British Football" or British attitudes. They would likely be offended by that! They are the republican side of the Irish sectarian divide in Glasgow and will sing pro-IRA songs and such.

There is plenty of anti/disinterest in Britain about the Monarchy but probably not enough vitriol to get that chant elsewhere. There would probably need to be a specific catalyst e.g. if Prince Andrew turned up at a game then chants calling him a Paedo would be guaranteed. For most Brits, if you don't like the Monarchy, it's very easy to just ignore it. Celtic is on a different level.

Yeah, implicit in his complaint is that it is the ideal and would somehow "fix" this ruling. I wish the article confronted that assumption directly instead of attempting to discredit his complaint.
I'm getting seriously pissed off with articles like this. There is inadequate discussion of the real cost...

> Okay, so let's address the elephant in the room: performance. Yes. Immutable data structures do use more memory, and they are slower to operate on. However, they are fast enough

...and are presented in a way that gives the impression to people with not enough experience that this kind of thing is "the future of programming". Which then gets parroted back on HN by people who can't justify it – it's something they've read and they're sure it's true.

The problem I'm complaining about is not functional programming or anything else, but a people problem. IME that's where the problem is in programming, and functional programming is just as prone to being abused as any other kind.

Functional programming is not "fast enough". It can be and usually is, in my personal project I'm quite happy to waste memory and thrash the TLB and cache and whatever else to get the job done, but in other cases it's not and that needs to be understood. I've seen a commercial project brought to its knees by going all-in on functional programming done badly (the aforementioned people problem).

I'm going to say this really loudly: don't absorb articles like this and spout them back. They provide easy solutions that are often correct but sometimes very incorrect where it matters, or completely ignore – yet again – the people problem.

I have a lot of experience and I keep reading on HN that "functional programming is the right way" or that "you don't do that in SQL" but these people with the strongest opinions seem least able to back up their claims.

Programming is fundamentally a people problem and that fundamentally is where I've seen most of the problems come from. Functional programming/object-oriented programming/procedural programming... These are all good in the right place. They can all be abused. They can all be combined. They all have costs and benefits. Don't write them off, And equally, don't treat them as 'the solution', because they are tools, and will only ever be tools to be used in the right place, and that takes judgement.

End of rant.
> From my limited experience on the German rails (Amsterdam - Berlin 5/6 times in the last 4 years) the mobile 4G/5G connection was pretty good. Only dropping off when travelling through very remote rural areas.

Not sure what you'd call "very remote rural areas", but when on the main rail lines through Bavaria (Munich-Rosenheim-Salzburg-Vienna and -Rosenheim-Innsbruck-Verona) if you're in the countryside you'll often experience patchy or zero mobile coverage, never mind 4G/5G.

It's not really controversial in Germany, and largely the case.

The problems lie elsewhere. IMHO there are two major problems with public transport in Germany. One is underfunding, which causes a lack of reliability, and plenty of lines that are overused. The second is complexity. Each local transport association has its own ticketing system, and they really like to make them complicated. The 49 euro ticket is a step in the right direction here, as it is one ticket for most (unfortunately with a few exceptions...) local public transport.

Tangential but have you considered growing food? Can use up a good amount of backyard space that would otherwise just be grass, add some raised planters and such, and create an enriching activity for the family plus get ultra fresh veggies you might otherwise never have a chance to eat.

This also gives you an opportunity to explore varieties and cultivars that don’t stay fresh for long (no commercial viability) but are delicious when picked fresh

You can also look into plants that often aren’t commonly available just due to being obscure. Kiwi berry, beach plum, etc

Not for everyone, of course. But it can be a great way to make use of a large suburban property if you aren’t attached to the grassy field look.
It hasn't gone anywhere though, there are entire countries using it.

It was just way ahead of its time and by now has regressed a bit from lack of interested parties. TLSv1.3 implementations made renegotiations to mTLS impossible for example, making for example a separate `/login` page not possible. It would be possible to improve the UX, if there'd be an interest. We already have passkeys/webauthn, client certificates aren't much more complex.

I also doubt it will go anywhere any time soon for those same reasons.
