Either way, I think we can agree that making the minimum payment on a student loan is a bad idea.

Student loan interest rates are usually less than 10%, much much better than credit card debt.

Never make the minimum payment and you should be ok. Whether or not it's a good financial decision depends on the expected income from your job after work. You can't make the decision based on loan amount solely, you must also look at expected salary.

In some places neighbors will call CPS if you do that.

Somehow we chose to do that. (Not me, but no one listens to me).

This comment is actually better than any response I expected. Nice work.

You are posting to a social media site which many of us started participating it when it started, when we were "children." Your bootlicking is pathetic.

There is surely a better way to protect children.

Negative testing is standard software engineering practice. If you're not doing it, you're not doing software engineering, you're just a code monkey.

What's mission in this analysis is any consideration of whether Google was favoring anticompetitively favoring their own product over Klarna.

While there is an argument to be made that the EU has done cash grabs in the past, there is also an argument to be made that Google has acted anticompetitively in the past.

If they act anticompetitively it distorts the free market.

I understand the sentiment, but as a logical thought it's incomplete without an analysis of reasons. If the reasons are good, Google deserves to pay (maybe the lawyers don't deserve the penalty money, but that's a separate issue).

It may not be logical, but they might get the return they were hoping for. After IPO it's someone else's problem.

You should have just said that you don't test for negative cases. It would have been faster and you would have been honest.

How do you check for negative cases?

America had a strong isolationist strain since the 1700s. It's a "You worry about yourself, I'll worry about myself" type of attitude. The Monroe Doctrine and the Neutrality Acts are examples. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Currently, interventionists are in control, mainly based on the argument that "every time we try to be isolationist, the war comes to us." Presumably at some time in the future, isolationists will gain power again.

Who knows, but they are definitely saying negative things about AI. For example:

Facebook: replacing people with AI doesn’t seem to be that easy to do. Zuck blamed it on anonymous "top execs." We'll see if they get fired.

Maybe they are trying to ruin OpenAI's IPO.
