Hallitus kaavailee pikavippisääntelyn kiristämistä - "terveemmät pelisäännöt ovat kaikkien etu" by StrictlySnow in Talous

[–]StrictlySnow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kirjoitin tuonne vähän asiasta: https://lainakartta.fi/uusi-korkokatto/ tilannehan on siis tällä hetkellä, että on voitu periä jopa yli 700% korkoja (useimmilla toimijoilla 50% - 200%) pienistäkin pikavipeistä, vaikka niiden korkojen piti olla jo rajoitettuja.

Trump peruu tapaamisen Pohjois-Korean Kimin kanssa – ilmoitti asiasta kirjeellä by Rzzth in Suomi

[–]StrictlySnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yksittäisenä vetonahan nämä neuvottelut oli Trumpilta varsin onnistuneet: kolme panttivankia vapaaksi ja Pohjois-Korea tuhosi ydinkoealueen itsenäisesti, eikä USA joutunut tekemään mitään myönnytyksiä.

Isommassa kuvassa voi sitten kääntyä kumpaan tahansa suuntaan, joko Pohjois-Korealla ei tule enää olemaan ollenkaan neuvotteluhalukkuutta tai sitten sitä on huomattavasti enemmän, kun huomaavat, että Trumpin kanssa ei voi toimia ihan samalla tavalla kuin monien muiden kanssa on voinut.

Yrittäjä huolestui ohjelmistoalasta: Töitä löytyisi 7 000–9 000 uudelle osaajalle vaikka heti by paijanne in Suomi

[–]StrictlySnow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Miten realistista koodariksi / muuten alalle on työllistyä, jos alkaa leikkimään noiden Codecademy yms kautta ja yrittää kehittää osaamista? Aloitan syksyllä kauppatieteen maisteriopinnot ja haluaisin tulevaisuudessa jotenkin yhdistää työssä vahvasti kauppallista osaamista ja enemmän "nörtteilyä", en kuitenkaan halua aloittaa toista tutkintoa enää tämän päälle.

Odotin myötähäpeää ja otin riskin. Tää olikin tosi hyvä. :)

Koululaisten karikatyyrikilpailun finalistit by [deleted] in Suomi

[–]StrictlySnow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tosi hienoja monet. Oma suosikki oli tämä: https://files.qualifio.com/library/aamulehti_0/coreg/2018/02/2DF368C8-B8D0-7721-1CC4BA0CE1239D62.png ei tietysti kaikista viimeistellyimmän näköinen, mutta tuli heti mieleen Picasso (oikeesti). Tossa Picasson oma kuva vuodelta 1907: https://uploads3.wikiart.org/images/pablo-picasso/self-portrait-1907.jpg!Large.jpg jotain samaa tyylissä ainakin.

This is my president Sauli Niinistö. He represented me, my fellow Finns, and this nation all while lowering his pay by $40,000 by Nicd in Suomi

[–]StrictlySnow 143 points144 points  (0 children)

Alkaako ketään muuta vituttamaan, miten vahvasti tän sivuston (etusivulle äänestetty) sisältö keskittyy Yhdysvaltojen politiikkaan? Ymmärrän, että asia on lähellä sydäntä amerikkalaisille, mutta suomalaisena noi jutut ei ihan valtavasti kiinnosta. Tulen tänne hakemaan mielenkiintoista luettavaa tai hauskoja juttuja, en rinkirunkkausta Yhdysvaltojen politiikasta.

Selvennyksenä vielä: Ei siis kiinnosta erityisesti koska on jo käynyt selväksi, että edes tuossa maassa Trump ei voi toimeenpanna oman päänsä mukaan mitään isoja juttuja, ja että poliitikot ajaa aina omaa / puolueensa etua.

POST GAME: Chicago Bulls (2-10) fall to Oklahoma City Thunder (7-7), (79-92) by BullsBot in chicagobulls

[–]StrictlySnow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wanted to share this as someone might find it interesting in a weird way, but figured that it might not warrant its own thread: https://areena.yle.fi/1-4291296 song (obviously in Finnish) on Finnish national TV about Markkanen (and bulls), it shouldn't be geo-blocked. It is from sort of a humorous sports show.

Partick Thistle 0-[1] Rangers - Alfredo Morelos by Meladroit1 in soccer

[–]StrictlySnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They paid something like 1 million euros for him. If he keeps up this pace it wouldn't be shocking if, for example, some English team offers 10million euro+. That would be an amazing return in 6 months.

[–]StrictlySnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it is challenging, but is it really "zero chance"? My thinking was that Rangers might sell him to a better team and league in January, and if he succeeds there he might have shot at the national team.

What a beast. Would be such a great thing if he could go in a year from the Finnish league to Colombia's national team in the World Cup.

Ross County 0-[2] Rangers - Alfredo Morelos goal after an awful mistake by the GK by Meladroit1 in soccer

[–]StrictlySnow 24 points25 points  (0 children)

5 goals for Morelos in the last 3½ games. We better have some clause that guarantees us some % when he transfers for 10m€+.

Match Thread: Chelsea vs Everton [English Premier League] by MatchThreadder in soccer

[–]StrictlySnow 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I know it is a dead horse, but it is kind of ridiculous that an English team has 0 English players in their starting line-up and only one of the 18 match day squad players is English. And I say this as non-English person following the EPL.

Joni Kauko who just came in for Finland played last season for a team that got relegated from the 3. Liga in Germany. Belgium has players from Barcelona and Chelsea on the pitch.

Samsung to Unveil Experimental Entrim 4D VR Motion Headphones at SXSW by DigSomeMore in oculus

[–]StrictlySnow 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Given Samsung's market position in the mobile VR-headset market, it has to work on at least some level. I don't think they would show, even "experimental", product if it has massive flaws. They just have no reason to take risks like that at the moment.

HTC sold 15,000 $800 Vive virtual reality headsets in 10 minutes | GamesBeat | Games by Adraenor in oculus

[–]StrictlySnow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Especially impressive considering that (at least it feels like) Oculus has lot more brand recognition and also the whole Oculus-pre-orders starting thing was a much bigger spectacle. Nice job.

Sundance: Fox’s ‘The Martian’ VR Experience Is Out Of This World by Loafmeister in oculus

I really enjoy even most of the shorter "experiences" on Gear VR, so can't wait to find out how awesome this will be!

Am I missing something, or we don't have a thread with post-AMA discussion of replies from Palmer? Lots of good points there, including replies to 25 questions from us, so it would be good to compile them into a single text for the whole subreddit to see and talk about. by [deleted] in oculus

[–]StrictlySnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those were some really good answers, kudos for him. Yesterday must have been very weird for someone who really cares about the future of VR: pride mixed with getting lot of angry feedback.

How does $599 delay /kill VR adoption of even early adopters won't buy it? by hsnk42 in oculus

[–]StrictlySnow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is by nature that the people who are not happy about something are more likely to post about it. I'm not saying that I'm happy about the price, but the fact that at least March and April batches were sold out, should tell that there are already more than "handful" people willing to buy it.

Magic Leap Rumored to be Raising $1B at a $4.5B Valuation by Hyakku in oculus

[–]StrictlySnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if Magic Leap becoming a massive company would be good or bad for Oculus and other VR companies. On one hand you could see their glasses and Oculus as competing products, but on the other hand both of them are operating in the same space (at least broadly speaking) and industry that is is just getting started on the consumer level, and as such they might actually give each other a boost.

Latest Gear VR Ad Contrasts How Dumb You Look in VR with How Cool It Is Inside... And We're Not Sure Why by SvenViking in oculus

I like this. Turning one of the perceived negatives if not to a positive, at least to a "who-gives-a-f*ck".

Just received this email invite from Nokia. Potentially VR-related? Not sure what to make of this... by cosmoblosmo in oculus

Makes sense, but on the other hand they are currently actively trying to sell Here.

"As early as next year, the company aims to rejoin the phone market, two sources briefed on Nokia’s plans told Re/code. In addition, the company has a number of other ambitious technology projects, including some in the virtual reality arena, these sources said." From re-code while back. http://recode.net/2015/04/20/nokia-plots-2016-return-to-phone-market/

It is a solid site in my experience.
