Insurance requires a deductible. It’s not worth filing claims for repeated small thefts. This is why many homeowners don’t bother reporting small package thefts - if the city leadership won’t punish (and deter) crime and if insurance deductibles are higher than the cost of the stolen item, then what’s the point?

As others have pointed out, I wouldn't even have created this article, but to each their own.

I'm assuming this client company was Samsung, due to scale and the author calling it the "K-Pop" company. They are known for using idols in their marketing. Still a little cringe to call it that.

My take away from this article:

1. This act was extreme, bordering on criminal, negligence. Some peoples' livelihoods depend on access to their phone. I assume most people using this service are of a lower income. I wonder how many jobs may have been lost due to their not having access to their mobile for a day.

2. Samsung needs to hire better contractors -- but this is what happens when companies go with the lowest bidder, I suppose. I've seen it time and time again.
To be fair, w3schools and the like don't just copy content. They provide different information and, most importantly, present it differently from official docs. And for many, their way of presenting information may work better.
Then it's not high enough.

The cost needs to be high enough to either get really high return rates and/or to cover the costs to society of undoing whatever damage is done by what is left.

Note that a key part is also that the most convenient option offered to comply needs to be to participate in recycling.

In Norway you hand bottles or cans in pretty much anywhere that sells them. Which means most people just bring them in next time they go to the grocery store.

If you require people to bring them to special recycling locations you should expect return rates to plummet.
I think the notion that we printed 40% of all money in existance last year holds.

The FED balance sheet is also up by about 40% last year:

Despite how loathed Facebook is, if an Alphabet-like parent company launches a metaverse that _does not_ integrate with the social graph / is not monetized through advertising, it has a real shot.

I have felt FB has needed to offer a privacy focused social network for some time. Apple is quietly proving people are willing to pay for privacy-enabled social features.

My question is whether they will collaborate with Epic / Fortnite on this. I suspect they will need to in order to take on whatever ends up dominating the App Store Apple's eventual hardware platform.

> The existence of the eurodollar market has nothing to do with what we are discussing in this thread.

I disagree.

> I'm really confused why you are bringing it up, TBH. And neither do Japanese Government Bonds. Or the ECB.

howmayiannoyyou mentioned "The real one, the one represented by offshore US dollar denominated financial products (eg. Eurodollars, US denominated foreign debt), and domestic financial products (eg derivatives, Corporate bonds)."

The former is encompasses the latter.

All these markets and participants are all interconnected, and alot of their interconnections lie outside of any particular jurisdiction. One would be fooling themseleves if one thinks lines on maps demarcates clear boundaries for the actors, assets and financial arrangements in the space.

> FYI, yes, in order to promote financial stability in eurodollar markets, central banks can arrange mutual swap lines

Swap lines from various actors have existed long before CB swap lines. They wont help with long term issues with counterparty risks, and the quality of collateral (and the rehypothication of such) that cant be papered over for "financial stability"; trying will only guarantee more lack of such "financial stability" in the future (Jerome Powell called the post 2008 global bailout regime in 2012 the "duration bubble" [0, on page 193 of the transcript from the October 2012 FOMC meeting], still being blown larger and larger today).

> but again this has nothing to do with how the US regulates American banks. Europe can regulate European banks however it wants. If the result leads to some eurodollar funding issue, then we can bail them out with a swap line if we want, or not bail them out if we don't want.

If the regulators fail to understand the interconnectivity that happens outside of their jurisdiction and off the balance sheets of the actors (not just banks), then that can mean such regulations mean nothing beyond the paper they are printed in or even worse, failure to understand the consequences of any regulations.

>> Target Plus Marketplace is one of the top-tier eCommerce marketplaces, along with Amazon Marketplace and Walmart Marketplace, that cater to third party retailers. Target, one of the biggest retail chains in the United States, entered the eCommerce marketing realm in February 2019 and expanded its product assortment by allowing third party retailers to sell on Target.com

You spammed that quote a couple times in the thread, but never provided a source. I found it (https://thriveagency.com/target-plus-marketplace/), and your quotation seems a bit selective, the next sentence is:

> Unlike Amazon and Walmart Marketplace, however, Target Marketplace is an invitation-only platform.

That seems like a significant difference. It also goes on to say they only have about a hundred partners, which is another significant difference.

Since your source seems like some kind of weird marketing site, here it is from the horse's mouth, https://plus.target.com/:

> Right now, Target Plus is an invite-only program but we do plan to accept partner applications in the future.

What counts as a crime? There is littering and illegal drug abuse everywhere - is that reflected in the data? Or is that not counted as a crime even though it is all around us? What about the continuous shoplifting you can find in any social media? I can’t imagine workers bothering to report each such incident when it happens several times a day. Businesses in many west coast cities underreport crimes (example: https://mynorthwest.com/1538741/uwajimaya-seattle-prolific-o...), and these problems are most evident in SF, where crime-friendly restorative justice policies originated from.

> That industry used to make its money turning around and selling you glasses from the same office but that whole industry has been turned upside down by online retailers like Warby Parker and such

This is not really the case. Online, warby Parker, etc. have built scale but the traditional retail still makes a significant portion of their profits here. And it’s a healthy business by most standards. The staff and employed OD are typically compensated heavily through variable compensation. The primary industry metric is “capture rate”, the percentage of people that buy eye wear after the exam. If I recall correctly it’s about 65-70%. From an incentive perspective, the doctors and staff are salespeople through and through.

Like all segments of healthcare, it has really started to consolidate. The independents/regional brands operating now will likely sell to PE roll up play when the foundering doctor retires. PE will exit to conglomerates. Most of these are boomer’s and this form of consolidation is well under way. The already high margins can easily be improved by centralizing back office, etc.

The vertical integration in the industry is insane. Luxottica for example leads retail, frame manufacturing, lens fabrication (laboratory), and owns the #2 insurance provider (of 2 main players). They have such power they can and do “force” independent retailers to use their POS software.

Warby Parker has some hipness and definitely grew quickly. But, they hardly put a dent in the market. There may be some evidence that they expanded it, as happens with fashion. They would be more akin to Blue Nile in the jewelry space. Independent jewelers still dominate that market.

> I don't know where you live, but where I'm living

Exactly. There's a lot you don't know.

> I'm just telling how it is.

You're not telling it "how it is". You're telling a fantasy and calling it "realistic policies".

You didn't even know about things like TV Pickup, did you? And you can't even imagine how your "realistic policies" would affect the grid.

You didn't even know that smart meters are not everywhere.

You didn't think how selling "good power" only to the rich would affect everyone. (Oh, right, anyone who won't be able to afford it are just cheapskates).

Yup. "Just how it is".

> so I'd guess their uplink is down, and they can't do FTP.

Ah yes. Great smart meters that should be installed in the millions and people should rely on them to properly turn off and turn on gigawatts of power in the blink of an eye.
Of course not. It's like smoking, a case for disincentives. As for data that doesn't yet exist, I can't comment.
I was typing a comment about how Rust wouldn't have made a difference for the race condition, but after reading through it again to be sure i'm now on the side that Rust would have errored on the original bug.

spin_lock_irq(&tty->ctrl_lock);
put_pid(real_tty->pgrp);
real_tty->pgrp = get_pid(pgrp);
spin_unlock_irq(&tty->ctrl_lock);

rustifying this would be

let mut tty_lock = tty.ctrl_lock();
put_pid(real_tty);
real_tty.pgrp = get_pid(pgrp);
std::mem::drop(tty_lock);

Which would give an error that you are not allowed to mutate real_tty.pgrp.
My goodness I quoted the question, it’s not ambiguous. They were looking for directed advice. Clearly. Don’t be a jerk. You don’t have to provide advice but you don’t have to be mean about dismissing the request either.
It must be nice, agreed! Sadly I wouldn't know.

In the past 20 years, I've been nearly homeless, working 2 minimum wage retail jobs 60/h week and cursing the lack of time or energy to improve my situation, and, at another extrema, regularly charged about $1,200/day for my time.

Right now I'm MUCH closer to the former than the later. I can tell you the latter is more fun! ;) But, even then, I'd spend $100/h for a luxury like fine dining, and spending $1000/h for a luxury would have seemed absurd. I imagine if, one made 10x the money, then spending $1000/h for a luxury might make sense?

But, like you said, it must be nice, agreed.

That's quite impressing with its sophistication. I'm from post-Communist country and talking with my former (female, heterosexual) dates from the same country, guys from Anglosphere countries get sex with them relatively easy and free of charge - because of curiosity and cultural inferiority well preserved by your show business. These are regular attractive girls and women which later on have families, children, and unaware partners. Meantime I probably wouldn't even go through the screening process of an escort in an Anglosphere country... not to mention the ridiculous prices... sad. Rare matches with American ladies on OLD which aren't some form of scam just don't stick at all. Even the dating over here was taken over by an American media group, you guys just want an absolute monopoly on sex. All that remains for us is your porn.
Creating lists with notion.so is so horrible
Why it is so hard to create lists in notion.so? Why it can't be in the same way as everywhere else?
Once you have created bulleted/numbered list and you want to make sub-levels it becomes impossible to handle as everywhere else - new item will not get any number if it is numbered list. Numbered lists gets letters or dots instead of numbers with no way to change them... It has to be so simple, but after using notion.to for 1 year I still can't understand how it works.

I think string replacement in Python is a particularly egregious example because strings are core language types. Library docs are a lot better organized and a lot more easily indexed. This is just a problem with Python's docs in general, imo.
Most of the new riches go to people who already have more than they need so they save it. Therefore you get asset inflation and to a lesser degree price increases in consumer goods.

US Consumer Price Index is also showing less inflation than most people would experience themselves. http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts show the both the new and the old CPI inflation numbers.

If price of beef increase a lot and people instead eat chicken the beef counts for less in the CPI. There is also a modifier if the the product have improved, ie the TV is a lot better than the earlier one.
Yeah, that's my experience too. And I can report, from working with EEs and talking to EE family members, that they do sometimes engage in that sort of my-subdiscipline-is-realer-than-yours one-upmanship too, but more often it's about using "outdated" design practices vs. "immature" ones, or about the appropriate balance of planning vs. exploration for a given project. All very familiar territory for programmers, though there are some differences.

Importance of testing has been told multiple times,even though we all ignore it largely.

I vividly remember an incident ( this was in the early 2000's )

we had a couple of Linux machines both remote and local.
The testing and development happens in Local and the code is pushed in a short time over dialup connection.

One of my team member had a instance of remote open.

He was deleting some cache files in his local , he by mistake typed in rm -rf / instead of rm -rf * in the remote machine ,assuming it was his local development machine.

He didn't realize the mistake and finding it was taking much longer than expected he cancelled the command. went home happily. He was using a common login. Though he informed his lead , the tech lead also didn't realize the seriousness of the command that moment.

What actually happened was every file which had 777 permission ,got deleted till he pressed Crtl-C.

Now some of the files in production server was gone and some were still intact.

This led to lots of confusion , the person who issued the command didn't realize his mistake , till the server admin who was about to loose his job for faulty permissions some how convinced the management that someone had issued a wrong command , and that he was somehow not at fault.

Our Boss was super irritated when he found out what happened. The person who typed the wrong command , along with his tech lead left the job after a few months on their own.

It taught very valuable lessons, Especially not to type rm -rf without checking multiple times.

I still remember this incident every time I delete something.
