If fighting starts in the Baltics (or Poland) Russia will face the greatest air force in the world fairly quickly. The conventional conflict will be over in a few months. Hopefully it will not escalate into nuclear conflict.

I think why I will remember about this fight is not the (small) streaming issue I encountered as much as the poor quality of the fight itself. For me that was the reputational loss. Netflix was touting “NFL is coming to Netflix”. This fight

There is a method behind this madness (... or rather title inflation). This webpage explains it pretty well (it is a bit tongue in cheek but it is Friday). https://epicureandealmaker.blogspot.com/2013/03/curriculum

But this whole thread is about how the economy right now it bad for the people - and this is the reason why they dumped Kamala. If the economy stays the way it is people will still be angry - and they will dump Republicans in the midterms.

If the electorate are angry about their economical situation excuses like that will not work. I believe the Republicans have a tall order to accomplish. And if they do not then the Republicans will lose the midterms.

If Trump will increase the inflation then the Republican Party will surely lose the midterms. At that point the masses will not be victimized by the right wing elites.

I think this is an example of law lagging technology. A warrant gives the police the right to inspect and seize contents of a safe inside a house. Similarly, the law should be updated so that a warrant gives the police the right to inspect

Windows was already losing relevance in the data center when Nadya took over -because of Linux. At AWS in 2008 / 2009 adoption was all about LAMP stack - AWS's tools were all geared for LAMP. AWS offered some Windows + SQL Server

Thank you! This is why I usually read the HN comments before reading the article.

How does the electoral commission knows where to send the voting card? Does the voter need to register with some electoral commission (governmental agency)?

But what if I vote three times in three different locations all different from my "home" polling location?

How does this mechanism prevent one person voting multiple times in different locations?

Most of the creditors are institutions. Like Social Security, Pension Funds, Fortune 500 Treasury departments. These will be here for a really long time.

Well the past two years showed us that the Fed (the institution that can create money out of thin air) will not do that if inflation goes up. Paying debt with money created from thin air will cause inflation and then the Fed will stop makin

There is no way to cancel these debts because the creditors and debtors are different. The parent comment assumed creditors and debtors are the same.

Thanks for the link. Peter Thiel did not seem terrified at all. Surprised by the question? Maybe. It took him some time to find his words but I think the final point he made is valid (and he also had a bit of humor. Kinda the opposite of te

I was able to get away with only 10% down payment on my home loan precisely because of the holdings in my brokerage account. The rest is on 3.25% / year loan for 30 years. Very similar to the mechanism described in the article. And thu

How is this different in principle from software developers using the RSUs in their brokerage accounts to get a loan for a vacation home or a boat? BTW the step-up in basis applies for when regular people die.

ooh, dentists are very well educated in empathy and morality. They even have to take an ethical oath before they get their license. So is not lack of education, is greed and maybe a ton of student debt (or both).

The author certainly makes this a plausible explanation. And yet I am thinking- if this is indeed the case, why we did not see similar payments this size more often?

Billionaires flaunt their wealth via yachts, mansions, space rockets and super-PACs. Which to me seems way more fun than getting your name on a tax list…

MEOW fits in 4 bytes and the string is probably aligned on 4-bytes boundary (being at the start of the reference) So probably not a bad choice for a binary protocol.
