I didn’t see any reports of banks in the US showing up to people’s doors, coming into their house and removing their stuff. Everything around the loan and foreclosure may have been shady, but the actual eviction is usually above board by the banks.
I guess, to me, fraud and unethical management/business practices are the same thing. If you can live with getting ahead by stepping on the backs of the people beneath you, why not commit a little fraud? Is there a difference, outside of legal differences?

I guess, maybe for me, it's; 'in for a penny, in for a pound' kind of thing. If you're going to be unethical, why not just commit fraud as well?
> the scrutinization of transactions slows everyone down

I really don't know if this is a problem. "It is hard to follow the law" doesn't tend to be an excuse for individuals. I have to scrutinize my tax return pretty closely and "it would take a lot of time" isn't going to convince the IRS that I should be let off the hook.

Law enforcement could help. Compared to things like the drug war, we have very few people investigating financial crimes. This appears to be by design, where our society is so invested in enabling the rich to make money that anything that stands in their way is unacceptable.
> Maybe you think banks are just as bad as advertisers

Banks as in consumer banks? Maybe not. Commercial banks, brokerages, hedge funds? Welp. I admit that some of those have made my imminent retirement possible, but from a broader view I don't see much good about how large the US financial sector is compared to the overall economy or the preferential treatment they get from our government.

> I tell myself I am enabling the tens of millions of Americans who have retirement accounts.

I'm sure many at Facebook would say they're enabling small businesses and non-profits directly through advertising, and many more "little people" through the platform(s) that those ad dollars pay for. They're also enabling some very unsavory people and behaviors, as are most in fintech. Read the news lately? ;) Everyone likes to dump on ad-funded businesses. I've done so myself. It's not entirely unjustified, but sometimes it seems disproportionate and even hypocritical.
I didn't step into public transport for half a year. I don't travel much now, but where I go, I go by car. The public transport here in Prague has been downsized a lot, to summer vacation levels.
Makes sense and is perfectly understandable. Many people here actually let the renting be done by third party managing companies. Sure, that also costs you, but you can often save you quite some headaches. Even or especially if your tenants are friends of yours. Don't know the rates, but some even continue to pay you the rent if the tenant stops paying.
Thanks, it's back up now.
As distasteful as this sounds, it's technically his property (the 91.6 million shares of stock ~3.1bn) as this was his ownership stake during the SPAC reverse merger process.

Imagine if as a condition of leaving your FAANG you had to forfeit all of your already vested stock or if you cofounded a company a condition of you leaving was giving up your pre-existing equity.
Well technically they are using households that way here too, it's just that they're looking at the overall total household net worth, so the actual number of households doesn't matter. But start looking at the average amount per household, a closely related statistic, and now we're back to the same problem that combining/splitting households affects the figure.
Elasticsearch Service (managed clusters) has a variable price depending on node type/count and storage size. Also, you pay for network traffic.
I understand evictions trigger lots of emotions and can be terrible situations for the tenant. But so many comments here seem to treat an apartment as something the tenant is entitled to, even without payment.

How is living at a property without paying for it any different than walking out of Walmart without paying for bread?

Staying at a place without paying rent is a form of direct theft. The non-paying-tenant is stealing use of the property without payment. It's somewhat normalized, but that doesn't make it ok or something anyone needs to tolerate.

Not everyone agrees. Great chance here for critics to finally explode counter assertions with a list of errors and or counter claims relevant (for instance) to this survey of the US climate in 2019 published by the sceptical GWPF.

https://www.thegwpf.org/official-us-climate-data-reveals-no-...

This claims "Average temperatures have risen by 0.15°F/decade
since 1895, with the increase most marked in winter.
• There has been little or no rise in temperatures since
the mid 1990s.
• Summers were hotter in the 1930s than in any recent
years.
• Heatwaves were considerably more intense in decades up to 1960 than anything seen since.
• Cold spells are much less severe than they used to
be.
• Central and Eastern regions have become wetter,
with a consequent drastic reduction in drought. In
the west, there has been little long-term change.
• While the climate has become wetter in much of the
country, evidence shows that floods are not getting
worse.
• Hurricanes are not becoming either more frequent
or powerful.
• Tornadoes are now less common than they used to
be, particularly the stronger ones.
• Sea-level rise is currently no higher than around the
mid-20th century.
• Wildfires now burn only a fraction of the acreage
they did prior to the Second World War."
I do a lot of work with Emacs and it's my preferred text editor. I think of myself as productive with it and I do a lot within Emacs; for instance using Magit to work with Git. Typically I'm working with Python or Clojure.

That said, when I need to work on a Java or C# project I put Emacs aside and reach for my preferred IDE. There is overlap between a text editor and an IDE; certainly I can _make_ a text editor do _most_ of what I get from an IDE but is it really worth the effort?

In my opinion, IntelliJ is on point here in some cases; I suspect developers coming from a background in front-end or a language like Python or Ruby are very comfortable with their text editor and tend to use these same tools for work with Java or C#. In this case it is likely that they are to some degree unaware of the benefits of a more integrated IDE.

In terms of CI integration, in my experience this has never been a problem (I have never really used Eclipse). My Java IDE uses the Maven configuration to manage the project and the CI process calls Maven from the command line. In the C# environment, the command line tools works in a similar way.

I can be reselling alcohol? I maybe run a dorm. Or a private club. Or I buy a lot of beer for my trendy startup employee. Or I'm a religioous fundamentalist buying alcohol to toss it in bulk into the ocean because alcohol is Satan. Etc. This data ain't reliable at all.

> From government perspective the prosecution with jailtime will mean lengthy court processes with an army of lawyers.

You're missing the point.

The US government has no desire to try SEC and/or white-collar cases without almost certainty that they will win. They don't really care about deterrence - losses tarnish runs for political office later. (You can watch "Law and Order" to see how that works at the city and state level.)

This is a subtle form of regulatory capture that greatly favors the largest companies. Fines look like a govt. win without the risk of a loss.

It's so bad that federal prosecutors mailed companies to not fund legal defenses for executives charged with a crime, in order to win more cases against defendants who couldn't mount a vigorous defense. (There are even some court forms that ask where you got the money to pay your defense lawyer.)

The Countryside shutdown was a multi-billion dollar debacle for the US government. Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo basically walked away without legal repercussions after it cratered. He even gave discounted mortgages to politicians to ingratiate the company in Washington. Who's going to indict their mortgage holder?

The banking facility is provided by Australia's 5th largest bank [1], which has been in business since 1858, and is as solid as any bank.

Up Banking provides the user-facing front-end, which of course needs to be highly secure too, but the tech team at Up Banking is one of the best teams in Australia (it caused quite a bit of buzz in the AU developer community when the team was quietly coming together to start working on this a few years ago; As a fun fact, some of the initial dev team previously worked together building The Conversation [2], which is a huge platform and major content source here on HN).

So, they know what they're doing and they know who to bring in to ensure they've done everything right.

Those interested may want to check out this interview with the founder/CEO [3].

The best video I saw for XCOM TFTD was this strategy guide for terror cruise ship attacks

https://youtu.be/WziO005uM3g

The problem with TFTD was that it crossed the time-reward curve threshold for many missions. The feedback that led to TFTD being so difficult was also related to the bug in the original that screwed up difficulty even if you played on Superhuman. So many players got the impression that XCOM was too easy and asked for a harder game

Do you mean FibreNest (the Persimmon owned one?). I can't understand how they are allowed to get away with that!

We live on a relatively recent Persimmon estate but luckily OFNL got the contract; even that's a bit dodgy, all of the ISPs have crap websites and are a little dodgy looking (although the service has been alright).

And yeh, no BT line. It was an exclusive contract. OpenReach say they wont even install lines until the roads are adopted. Ironically, there is an independent Care Home built next door to us & OpenReach have been up and down the street and in our estate cabinet busy fitting their lines....
While I might not agree with a lot of the opinions in these comments the sheer ignorance of the eviction process is what bothers me more. Opinions are pretty easy to write off but anyone here also has a multitude of search engines at their fingertips so there's no excuse for ignorance.

It varies by state but evicting someone is not the "just show up and kick out the tenant with threat of violence" process that many comments seem to be operating under the assumption that it is. You might be able to get away with that once or twice but (in the US) even the most shady of slumlord make a profit on a timeline longer than that approach is tenable.

I got to know Nero, and I always felt that he couldn’t have done this to his mother in cold blood.

This gives away the game. Yes, his mom died, but he couldn't have done it. Yes, he killed Christians, but it wasn't as bad as people thought. Yes, he sang while Rome burned, but hey, Oppenheimer said "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds", which is basically the same thing.

I don't believe this to be true. It would only be true if you consider 'internet' can change meaning VERY FAST and almost inevitably. Because that's what happens, everywhere in the world: people get really excited about new tech and possibilities and explore everything about it, very fast. Facebook is trying to build itself in social/cultural fabric as some sort of institution of democracy or something like that, when in fact it's only a fad. This can change in almost a glimpse of an eye. Anyone who has taken the time to study platform strategy will know this.
I feel like we should unify the copyright and privacy laws.

If I copy a Disney movie without their knowledge and then extract value from it, for example by watching the movie without paying, everyone agrees that this is theft. And punishment is generally strong to excessive.

If a website copies my private data without my knowledge or even after I decline permission by sending DNT headers, that is somehow considered completely fine.

But to me, the value of my private data is vastly higher than the value of watching a copied movie. And the potential for financial damages stemming from a stolen identity is also much highest than the real damages from someone downloading an mp4.

I suggest that we classify the secret collection of private data as theft.

Edit: With my wording, I was referring to this old pro-copyright ad: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HmZm8vNHBSU
