I will discuss two problems concerning evaporating black holes, one at length and the other briefly. The first problem is the so-called "information loss" paradox. I will argue that once the problem is properly understood, information will be conserved in exactly the way we have reason to expect it will ever be conserved, without need to appeal to remnants, subtle correlations in the Hawking radiation, or anything else. The second problem concerns our grounds for expecting the sort of global conservation of energy that is appealed to in arguing that black holes will evaporate in the first place. I will argue we do not have the usual grounds for expecting a global conservation law.
