I see all that, but there is a sizable market that just can't afford an iPhone that's worth looking at. Though maybe if used iPhones are usable for longer time periods, that eats a little into Android's dominance of the low

I'm noting it's less clear than other expensive things like the meds that cure hep c. In that case, you're weighing the cost of a near certain cure. I've not seen any sort of depression med with that kind of clarity of

Well, maybe they get 16k in value, maybe it doesn't work for them at all. Pretty expensive gamble.

You did used to be able to similarly overstate your current salary, and then something quite a lot more formal than "secret slack channel" evolved. And it's often not accurate. Urgh.

Small businesses would have to travel to the customer's jurisdiction. I don't imagine many cases would meet the risk/reward bar for this.

I did call them, they were in a different state. They were sympathetic, but honest in that this sort of thing doesn't hit their minimum level of interest to do anything with.

It doesn't make it less ridiculous, and doesn't change the incentives it sets up. Since the losses are spread across a bunch of (often small) businesses, scenarios like this where the crime goes unresearched are the norm. I'

The way credit cards put the burden of refund fraud on the seller enables a fair amount of this. I lost an appeal on a chargeback even after I hired a "task rabbit" type person to take a photo of the item sitting in the buyer&#x2

Well, yes, I get that generally, but you can't lay off your mortgage payments so prioritizing growth is tricky.

Buy property where you have no flexibility to scale your space (and thus, debt payments), then offer it to others with maximum flexibility to scale down on a month-to-month basis. Guess what happens when demand falters? Though, to be fair,

That incentive was already there for things like H1B. Or unrelated reasons, like hiring/retention.

Notably, though, often not by real choice. Oracle historically made it financially unpleasant to run their software on your own VMs. So you either ran on bare metal or they moved you to Oracle built hardware/software appliances, whic

Consider that forcing people to hear, consider, react and "vote" on something in public might be the "snake like" behavior. Some topics require quiet reflection. Some topics do better with a secret ballot. Some objecti

Mentioned in another comment, but 6000 bombs went into that small area, within a week. Mostly JDAMS that have a really large kill radius. Look at the number of bombs dropped in an entire year, into an entire country, by the US: https:&#x2F

I can see the "human shield" angle, though I don't personally agree that's what's happening. Either way, there's a choice there on Israel's part, to continue using bombs when they know the rough ratio of

by tyingq 3y ago
The numbers from the health ministry are historically accurate, and even often cited by the US State Department in the past[1]. Or, if you trust Israel's numbers, they are pretty open that they dropped, for example, 6000 bombs on Gaza
