PowerShell is an objectively ugly language to read

this is true. but regulators still hold CROs accountable for that .

Tough situation for banks and people working inside them. For those clamoring that it is 2008 all over again, it is, because the way markets and companies work has not changed (and a bank is just another type of company).

Suppose you are a chief risk officer of one of those banks before Covid hit. You have been hired by the CEO so you need to play with the CEO to advance his/her agenda. Other banks are lending more and more to commercial real estate developers as there is demand and they are paying their loans on time. Your own bank’s board of directors and CEO are putting pressure to join the market and lend more to those property developers otherwise you own bank’s profit will look lower than the competition. You know that, by doing so, the concentration of loans in that sector will become quite high but, if you keep resisting, the CEO and/or the board will find someone more amenable who doesn’t seem to panic when every other bank is making money. Then you cave in. You decide to approve more business going to those loans although you caveat that this might exceed risk appetite and gets the board and CEO to formally approve it as well.

Now the bank is proudly going with the flow and investors are not complaining anymore.

using systemd instead of rm -Rf is not the Unix way!

Hahahaha… China is also behind fracking and all stuff that happens to aquifers. Losers…

Probably Windows default is just Pacific Time.

I am amazed that Polish almost avoided all of this (they still have a and e with the little commas) but ended up with blinding consonant clusters

Has always been, even without the graphics. The adversarial system makes it a competition with a scoreboard

Just removing lead from gas made such a difference

Actually banks take collateral that is normally not what the private equity firms target and that actually seems to work, but the consequence is that hard assets of the firm (offices, buildings, hardware, cash, etc) are essentially given up

Typical Private Equity deal… The buyers take a massive loan in the name of the company they are buying then they use the sudden massive interest payments to explain the declining profits and the need to downsize. Then they find a way to squirrel out of the loans claiming the company sucked and let banks take remaining assets (or losses) and maybe resell the intellectual property to someone else right before that.

The odds were 1:1

UK seems to have a comparatively large number of people dying during peace time within its borders due to foreign countries’ actions

Such a boss of a picture

Is there a similar limitation placed on the judiciary?

Yes. I guess Mitt’s medication has changed or he recently took up on pot

Excellent point. And pardons are only given after the legal system concluded someone is guilty. Mitt is advocating for executive interference over judicial processes.
