I don’t know half of these but I’m almost sure that Pillow and TKInter would work.

Please no, not ArcGIS. I’m sure our dependencies would clash with arcpy’s if we tried. Fortunately my company uses FOSS packages almost exclusively.

Maybe @dang could accept monthly donations to pay for a couple moderators? Last I heard they were volunteers. Anyway, the fact that the top-voted comment now complains about the low quality of answers shows that moderation + voting still he

How were these “the rules?” The FDIC’s job is to make the bank’s customers as close to whole as possible. Where would the bank’s assets go otherwise?

> The that they were so wrong 15 years ago That seems like a weak signal. If the only example of egregiously wrong ratings we have is from the subprime crisis, that means they got them right enough a lot more often than not.

Saying that "bank reserves are useless" is clueless. This bank needs liquidity and borrowing from the Fed would provide it.

Why does everyone make these huge generalizations based on one crisis that happened 15 years ago? The problem in 2008 was that splitting an investment into a senior "low-risk" one and a higher-risk one led to higher ratings overal

Thank you, that's a very useful summary.

Requiring a driver's license for power tools isn't that bad an idea. That would probably be as popular as banning kitchen knives though.

I'm glad you're working on BB. We switched to GitHub a year ago and are happy with it, but with a slightly better UI and more reliable/advanced CI/CD features, I might not have been able to justify the switch.
