Fin_Code··on Apple terminates Epic Games developer account, calling it a 'threat' to iOS
Sounds like they violated a non disparagement clause and signaled they will not adhere to policy. All they had to do is keep quiet and launch to minimize their liability.

Guess they will need to fight in the EU to see if they can claw back.

Fin_Code··on Our Company Is Doing So Well That You're All Fired
I'm pretty sure a lot of this is connected to the bond market. Companies are running out of operating capitol. When they try and get an operating loan the terms are onerous. Rather than refinance they are electing to perform layoffs to maintain solvency.

It does not matter how good you are doing in contrast to previous years. If your loan comes due and you can't afford another one to keep that revolving credit going you need to free up the capitol to pay.

Fin_Code··on FinCEN proposes new rule for residential real estate held in trusts or LLCs
This is actually quite easy. Lookup how to purchase a home with cash (its easy). The house is then assigned to an owning entity to become part of a portfolio. Then after a given time based on risk you can sell to generate revenue. Then disburse to other entities that lead back to the person that dropped in the cash. The wash is completed. Where else could you drop large quantities of cash then translate that to clean money?

This is deeply needed, one of the big causes of housing inflation is using it to launder money. Higher housing costs are better because you can launder more. Its like when rich people can't have a money trail for some shady activity so they sell art to each other for a wild amount. This will require all owners to be named instead of a nameless llc. Should help curb the process.

Fin_Code··on Field experimental evidence of AI on knowledge worker productivity and quality
This is entirely unsurprising. A language generator is not designed for analytical analysis. The fact it codes well is what I think is throwing people. Since code is a form of language it works well for the language model. The issue with code will come from larger context where analytical thought is needed and it will break down.
Fin_Code··on Ask HN: How can I get out of tech?
If you leave tech your taking a salary cut. If you can't afford that you need to cope better. That means no booze, clean eating and at least 30 minutes of cardio a day. If you do those things and still have issues its time for medication.
Fin_Code··on Error handling in Go web apps shouldn't be so awkward
The whole point of error handling in go is that magic does not happen. Large error handling frameworks can create tracing difficulties. In the authors example he will never be confused as to where the error occurred. Is it overly verbose, yes. Do I prefer it yes. I am quickly able to identify and address issues.
Fin_Code··on Elon Musk Is Not Understood – Recommended by Marc Andreessen
The man has bet his fortune and company multiple times and has come out on top every time. You can't do that without extreme skill and vision. The implementation is what is heavily critiqued.
Fin_Code··on Ask HN: What skill do you want to develop or improve in 2024?
Muscle starts to atrophy naturally after 40. If you don't counteract it with some strength training, things get bad.
Fin_Code··on Canadian internet bill S-210 is a step closer to becoming law
This is not about verifying ages. This is about the government tracking people so they can use information against them in the future. Any kid that wants to bypass this will use a vpn or submit false documents.

Employment agreements are at will. Its highly unlikely you can fight this. You need agreement with your employer to continue.
Fin_Code··on Nonprofit hospitals skimp on charity while CEOs reap millions, report finds
The purpose of non profits is to handle all the cost centers. Everything that is expensive is billed under the non profit. Then they have exclusive deals with their other for profit entities in all high margin areas.

Thus the whole non profit becomes a loss lead for other services to be pushed and offered. Its a good thing for them their cost center is not taxed.

Fin_Code··on Why BMI is flawed – and how to redefine obesity
BMI is the least worst. Tons of methods have been tried and they are all worse. We need cheap, fast and easy. Thats what BMI is. To get more accurate you need specialized equipment and or some math knowledge. Better = costs more. Thats why we have BMI and why people complain endlessly about it.
