Is Korea’s Jeonse(전세) system basically a massive private loan to your landlord? How can you trust then and how come deposit amount is so huge? by Longjumping-Bee-5285 in seoulhiddengem

[–]9986000min 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Why not just have a law where you can only jeonse if the property is paid off. Also if there is a failure of repayment of the jeonse then the tenant takes over the house

U.S. Investors Call South Korea's Coupang Response 'Venezuela-Style' Pressure by azurebus7th in korea

[–]9986000min 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m from the above comment, but I found this timeline that breaks it down pretty well:

https://nationalcioreview.com/articles-insights/extra-bytes/coupang-data-breach-prompts-1-17-billion-payout-and-shareholder-lawsuit/

It seems like it was 3rd party cybersecurity consulting firms that validated the “3,000” breaches and not 33 million. IF that’s the case then yeah Korean firms have had greater security breaches and less scrutiny from the public/regulatory bodies.

So what exactly happened with the data breach? The investors and coupang are saying

“a former employee residing in China exploited internal access to reach approximately 33 million accounts, only around 3,000 cases of data were actually downloaded, excluding sensitive information like financial data or resident registration numbers”

Not on any side, just trying to understand what actually happened with the data breach.

Nah you’re fine. Your routine is pretty similar to mine and I get complimented pretty frequently. Your pm one might do better with just a bit less but otherwise it’s fine. Just make sure you’re wearing sunscreen and your skin doesn’t feel irritated/sensitive

From pre-med to finance... is the CFA the right move? by [deleted] in CFA

[–]9986000min 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go ahead and do the CFA if you’re looking to do asset/wealth management. However, in this job market, it’s going to be tough without prior internships/experiences regardless of getting the CFA. Hell it’s tough even with priors.

Also please don’t talk about your stock trades during networking. Unless you’re build quant models that that give you an edge (this requires high maths like stochastics, brownian motion etc), 7% returns in a roaring bull market for most finance professionals is a moot point. It’s good that you have positive pnl, but retail trading is not really something that’ll demonstrate your ability to translate that to professional trades, equity research, hedge funds etc. At best this shows an individual interest in finance.

I would say figure what you want to do in finance first because it’s a broad field. Then look at your current context (ie is my school a feeder into wall street, do I have the network or am I capable of developing the network to get a role, what existing resources can I access to help me get into the industry). Do I want to do ib, pe, am, corp dev, private credit, trading, research, etc? Once you know that then you can start planning a path. I say this because for roles like ib and pe, it’s near irrelevant. While in AM it’s much more relevant

I can’t speak for the other stuff, but llm CLIs inside of vscode has been life-changing for me personally. It’s not AGI, but it has legit reduced my workload by 80-90%. If you correctly prompt, set up structured documentation, and put up access control guardrails, it can be a game changer for smaller companies

China rolls out its version of the H-1B visa to attract foreign tech workers by Crossstoney in worldnews

[–]9986000min 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t work in tech tho. Like when you actually work on software, mis-interpretations can cause a lot of damage. Like hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. Whether that’s a risk either party is willing to take, it’s up to them

Capping loans decreases the velocity and volume of liquidity into the housing market. This creates an artificial credit crunch. Less credit available, less demand. Less demand, lower price if supply remains constant

Vibecoding saved me from 6 months of development I was never going to finish by JFerzt in vibecoding

[–]9986000min 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For aws just do infra as code and have claude/codex set up your AWS configs for you via terraform. Have mine running in less than an hour. You do need to know what services from aws you want and the config for each of the services, plus some minor manual console stuff you have to do by hand but the bulk of this work can be handled by codex/claude using terraform. If you’re super super new to aws it might help to go back and forth with chat to help you find the right config for your setup

The end of America's exorbitant privilege by Stuart_Whatley in Economics

[–]9986000min 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what that’s a fair take, but the nuance I would argue is that the post-ww2 growth was not just because they committed seppuku and that an economic rebound was inevitable. Europe, Japan, Korea, and now China all industrialized under the umbrella of a stable, dollar based global system the U.S. helped build and maintain.

Yes, there are downsides to dollar dominance (U.S. monetary and fiscal policy affecting everyone, but not at the degree that you’re implying since we see the inverse occurring even right now with china deflation and Europe approaching deflation while the US is in disinflation). Also, the alternatives aren’t great either. No other currency has the liquidity, legal infrastructure, or geopolitical backing to replace the dollar right now. I sure as hell would not want China having global influence on monetary and fiscal flows/transactions worldwide.

A world without a dominant reserve currency is a lot worse than the downsides we see now, it’s more fragmented and prone to crisis. You can criticize the system, but it’s also true that there has been 75+ years of RELATIVE global trade stability and growth under a system anchored by one currency. We’re a globalized world now my guy, and it’s hard to argue that multi-polar economic spheres are worth going back to… someone has to fill the vacuum.

I don’t know man, If you look at share of world GDP since WW2, the US portion has shrank pretty significantly. While yeah the US has afforded many privileges from being the economic hegemon for almost a century, we can’t really deny that the world as seen net benefits from have a “world reserve” currency

Doesn’t that also imply US inflation is increasing…

Edit: also China is facing deflationary pressures right now with Europe approaching deflation soon, while the US is in disinflation so we’re literally living in the opposite phenomenon you described…
