People thought depositors should lose their money because they made the “irresponsible” decision to bank with a large, stable, well-known public institution. Unnamed, hypothetical people may have said this. But this wasn't what the t

Yet another swoon piece. I don't see how the OP can say these apps worked "perfectly", given the nature of what they're doing (and the lack of either a metric or an easy to way to verify their outputs). The repo summary,

And that's how we have a police state. No, that's how we have a slippery-slope argument. Studies have shown that texting while driving is about a high a risk factor as drinking alcohol. If not classed as a felony (and intrinsic

Do people really do that without immediately crashing? Whilst a passenger (and not a driver), look inside nearby cars sometime. The prevalence of people doing exactly this is shocking.

The less-comfortable reason is that concern for others’ wellbeing is at an all time low. Driven in turn by a lack of empathy, and a sense of feeling interconnected with others. As fueled, in turn, by smartphones.

You're right; skeevy it is. Need to check my fake hip-sounding lingo.

Okay, I'm clueless. Can you condescend to explain why this is the case, and/or provide something informative to read about the subjective? BTW I really am clueless, because I've avoided owning any kind of smartphone until no

Meaning that if we cargo-cult the alleged (and probably overhyped) development rationale of Twitter-like startups, we are implicitly banking on their "It's a rocket ship to the moon or nothing, baby!" growth plans as well. No

Far too much eye contact and verbal solicitation from random strangers. Just ... standing there as if to intercept you when walking by.

Yeah, I guess compared to the demimonde of 1920s Berlin one could say it's pretty tame. But by that, and the other indications you are providing - "some are intimidating, some not... you can even walk safely at night if you stick

Yeah, I don't get this "It didn't cost the taxpayers a cent, so really it's all good, man, and not really a bailout" line that some people keep putting out, at all.

How would you define “a mess”, "The nose knows", as they say. I love dumb, straightforward code BTW. It's my guiding aesthetic much of the time in fact. But that wasn't what I was referring to, here. Rather the &quot

In their big announcement, the Fed did say that ultimately all costs will be recovered from the bank's remaining assets (and will not fall on the taxpayer). The government is still providing liquidity and coercive muscle -- so it'

I just go by own impressions - which are that it feels skivvy as all get out to walk through, or in the general vicinity of that park. Hence, rendering it basically useless as a "park".

Right, one can dissect the true costs a bunch of ways. Without access to the methods and date the article is drawing from, it's impossible to hold much stock in their conclusions.

As such they are irrelevant to new arrivals or people weighing the possibility of of moving there. Of course there are contingent factors involved. I'm just saying that factually, the median rent numbers put out by the brokers are p

I don't have the numbers on the back of my hand, but they can be far less (often less than half) of the market rate - please see the sibling comment I just posted about this.

Yeah, there's a certain number of stabilized units which are "high-end" (for those earning 80-100 percent of the local median income), whose rents scarcely differ from those of market-rate units. But I assure you the vast bul

So what do people recommend for malware detection (at whatever degree of efficacy) on Androids these days? Yes I know what search engines are, but I'd appreciate curated / personal recommendations, please.

Good. Time to finally put those dealers in Görli (largely) out of business. For non-locals: that's Görlitzer Park, Berlin, which has largely been owned (and rendered nearly useless) by the dealers for several years now (along with th

And at an early startup, making the damn thing work is all that really matters. Not if it comes at the cost of making your co-workers hate you for the messes you continually leave behind. And to lose faith in upper management for holdin

Taxpayers aren’t footing the bill. Even if the transaction turns out to be cash-neutral for the government - or even provides a small profit, as with TARP - it is still providing very considerable resources in the form of liquidity, coerc

What makes companies fast is, essentially, not hiring the industry people. An interesting, and a fairly broad observation. Can you elaborate?

I'm the "really good", but definitely not "phenomenal" camp. That is, it works - but what is with the repeated class declaration for every h3 element? <h3 class="text-xl font-bold mb-2">1. Prun

My employer didn’t conspire about anything. They didn't "conspire", per se. But they failed to do due diligence on the nature of the financial institution they were relying upon. Or even to think, for a minute, about fussy
