Its pretty annoying, for almost a decade all js questions have j query solutions, if you ask for that in reactjs or god forbid, vanilla js, which also went through many api changes, its still a duplicate.

Often itscthe same for css, where grid and flexbox are now standards, the old questions with replies full of vendor prefixes and very hacky solutions should be deprecated or transferred to archives.

Btw, how do the blog posts copying so questuons monetize and how does google not shut them down, the pages dont even work, I thought google would know better?

The office is for bosses who cant focus on work unless they get to micromanage and slow down everything and then think nobody else can if theyre not in office.

Especially innocent people under first time interrogation. Police, prosecutors and judges know this full well. Anything for conviction rates.

I do not believe for a second you can convince any innocent person rhey have commites any serious crime unless they suffer from heavy amnesia.

Well, that barely covers the rent for a bedsit in London.

Better deal if you get shortlisted for council housing, and then you take the 1600 quid, that would be alright.

Parallel or something like that lets you run windows on mac os.

I think thats a fair decision, always found macs looking nice, but dislike many of the apps. Windows and ms suite on mac is on my bucket list now.

Why exactly should banks be private companies at all?

Theyre just skimming middle man between the government and end consumer.

Sure, the government would know your bank balance and spendings, but that could be worked around

If youre in trouble with the irs or the law, the government will have all the insight they request.

Sounds crazy? We the people had to bail them out and never get anything of their profits.

Too big to fail? As in systemic risk?

Well, only the state should be too big to fail.

And if they fail, the fdic needs to cover, also tax payer funded.

Any input is appreciated. I know the interest rate should be set by banks and not the politicians, but yeah, is that really it?

Addendum, this post has triggered an interesting discussion, it appears I am not alone with my thoughts.

So far, I do not see any ovewhelmingly convincing argument on why the banks shouldnt be run by the government. It doesnt have to be senate, it can be something relatively neutral like the irs.

So your housing and your job depends on the company?

Ever had a bad boss?

No thanks, unless the rental agreement is untouchable.

They make a profit or two and increase your dependencies.

As a former amazonian, I am actually a bit surprised to read this.

Am outside on mobile, so I have to be brief.

During covid, there was this mercy period for delayed deliveries, as it wasnt really amazon causing the delay, but rather the last mile service or the whole supply chain.

They used to absolutelly always refund no questions asked and depending on the service they would send return labels.

If you have worked at amazon, then you will know this can only happen due to comingling(usa issue mostly) or malicious sellers in for a quick buck.

To make money with bad products its pretty hard on amazon, they will simply refund the orders the buyers request a refund for and additionally hold the sellers fund in reserve until account health metrics are sorted out.

That, or amazon has changed their overall strategies making refunds now harder, but all their internal rules speak against that.

Their first level support is so so, their second level and seller support is sonething of the best in the world.

Keep in mind, the final buyer is not their customer, the seller is. But brand pr comes before sellers, make no mistake.
