>"wealth creation" only on one party in the contract: The bank. No, I meant to say that wealth is create by people. Banks are supposed to enforce it.

cant blame the consumers who are brainwashed by the ads that uses every weakness in human nature to create phantom needs, making up artificial demand for things..

Regulations can work if bypassing the regulation in question does not open up a market that is large enough to keep paying off the regulators. For example, if there is only one regulator for a country, the companies can pay millions to get

It is beyond me how anyone can expect any business (especially public traded) to have any ethics whatsoever.

Wouldn't there be a lot more of QA jobs. If software gets written faster by AI, humans sure will need to test that it meets the requirements. So I see a great future for testing and QA.

I got how c++ vectors work. Rust `Vec`s work similarly IIRC. But the problem in C++ is that it allowed you to make a `Vec` from a raw pointer. Anywany, IMHO rust has thrown the baby out with bath water. To make such errors (ie bad design) c

All lessons are not equally valuable. Seemingly arbitrary reasoning for some borrow checker behavior is not interesting enough for me to learn. In the past, I would come across something and would lookup and the reasoning for it often would

What is the point. If I share something, someone is going to come along and say. That is not how you are "supposed" to do it in rust. And that is exactly my point. You need to learn a zillion rust specific patterns for doing every

I think it comes down to 1. In `c` one have to remember a few, fairly intutive things, and enforce them without fail. 2. In rust, one have to learn, remember ever increasing number of things and constantly deal with non-intutive borrow-chec

I think that is because when you start learning Haskell, you are not typically told about state monads, `IORefs` and likes that enables safe mutability. It might be because Monads could have a tad bit advanced type machinery. But IORefs are

There is a third kind. Those who want to have a lot of fun by using their imagination to come up with interesting ways build something, but in rust, the borrow checker often won't have any of it. In rust you have to learn and internali

>does C hold any significant advantage over Rust Yes, it's lots of fun. rust is Boring. If I want to implement something and have fun doing it, I ll always do it in C.

Look I think that is the whole difficulty. In reality, doing the wrong thing results in pain, and the right thing in relief/pleasure. A living thing will learn from that. But machines can experience neither pain nor pleasure.

I agree with what you say. But here is the thing. HN needs to keep the participants comfortable and keep the discussion going. Same with the world at large, hence the global "toxic positivity culture"...

Not sure how it will work when the person borrowing is different from the one who made the original 100k deposit. I mean, the the person who has borrowed 90K is in no obligation to repay the loan when the first person wants to withdraw thei
