No, the bank has at risk the capital loaned, which they payed out. A risk is not a "loss" in a hypothetical amount of money that maybe could be had in the future given market conditions which are not predictable.

I have a mortgage that is fixed interest and not backed by the government in anyway... So I think you might be wrong on how the risk is calculated.

I can't see how any new risk is added in a fixed rate. In fact I can't see how a non fixed rate would really be good for anybody, and would keep the risk fluctuating for all parties involved.

They wanted to give Digg some company.

Yeah, maybe I feel was a bad choice of words.

Are you blind to a building being set on fire because some people feel some way?

Side note, yes, the IT department failed them 100%.

Your vision is always 2020 after the fact. The idea that the city was burning enough would be a good enough fear that who knows what the hell would happen next.

Its completely insane that everybody is just okay with millions of tax payer dollars being destroyed. Its insane that folks are okay with completely shutting down probably one of the best invention of man kind and reverting back to pure mob rules barbarism.

I feel like the real problem is people burning police buildings, and the lack of accountability in holding every last person who was involved in setting public property on fire to the maximum extent of the law.

But you obviously did not read the article you posted or might have sympathy to the folks lives that could be in danger if such documents were released to the public. But ACAB, FTP right?

Either your "heavy workouts" are not heavy, or you are the sand guy from the mummy.

I read your comment without reading the article, then I read the article. I am sad :/

While it would make sense for loss prevention at the store, it would make more sense if this feature was extended to the end user.

It seems like we should just stop using ML for feeds.

My twitter feed is always hate. I don't actually comment, or engage other tan reading. And I am continuously being suggested post that are clearly bias to somebodies agenda.

I also fallow CNN breaking news. And the comments are complete trash. What is worse, is some small town thing happens, and now you have millions across the US and the world upset and outraged about it. While the issue was tragic, I am not sure it is healthy for society as a whole to be so connected to things that play nearly zero in their life.

I know, I know. Somebody is going to say "but they do play a role in their life". And I am going to reply. The only role they play is in that they saw a tweet or a reedit post or a 12 second clip with a loaded title that tries to convey that this bad thing happening is "status quo" and it is so outrageous that it happens and we all need to stand up to do something about it.

When in reality we are dealing with a world with ~8 billion people in it, where if 0.0000001% (8 people) of the population experience something bad to them in a given day, that we have systems in place to ensure that the vast majority know about it and get outraged, and are made to feel as if this is some huge problem that everybody needs to be involved in.

Listen folks, shitty things are going to happen, and they are going to keep happening, and it is going to seem like the problem is going to get worse and worse as the population grows. But we will never have zero bad things happening, and being outraged over and over about something that simply won't ever be corrected is a huge burden on society as a whole.

I challenge folks, especially the ones who get outraged at twitter post, reddit post, or stupid things said on HN to take a month off from social media. You will find the world is a much better place than you think it is currently.

And this is why Facebook has no business being part of fact checking.

While it may look different, this is no different than two folks on the phone getting interrupted by ATT and being told they are incorrect on their assumptions about topic X.

Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are the carrier, and should be treated as such.

Even so, the topic is docker. Your storage is else where in docker -- not in docker. If it is in docker, then you are already in trouble.

Simple solution is storage is a secondary drive/partition -- still automate OS install.

I stand corrected.

The issue is not docker, the issue is you treat your servers like pets.

Folks need to start building systems that destroy all and re-image fresh. Any other way you are just setting your self up for failure.

Yeah, I think the OP was really talking about this individual case.

Eg, this guy put his kid in a device that could kill him (maybe).

Looking back at the videos from Boston Dynamics, a ton of effort is put in to the failure mode testing. I highly doubt 1) this is dynamic, 2) failure modes were considered much.
