Please Don't Become Anything, Especially Not A Programmer by tompa_coderin programming

[–]greenrd 0 points1 point ago

Coding is not important anyway.

Programmer salaries would tend to disagree with this notion.

We don't need more code, we need to solve problems.

And just how are we going to solve problems without writing some more code along the way?

You can't become a programmer if you only know a little bit of programming.

That's not really true - you can write spreadsheets.

In Euro Crisis, Iceland Emerges As an Island of Recovery by greenrdin Economics

[–]greenrd[S] 0 points1 point ago

no, it does not.

Its government does, at least.

Iceland did not refuse to return the money, it refused to pay relatively high interests on the amount

It has refused any of the structured repayment plans that have been put forward. That is at least a technical default (and actionable under EFTA rules).

most of the money has now been repaid from the estates of the bankrupt banks.

You are right that some of the money has been repaid. But most? I'm not sure about that.

Well, fortunately we have ways of making them pay - firstly, the EFTA court, and if that doesn't work, Iceland wants EU membership, and we won't give it to them unless they repay our money.

The technical term is "nominal wages", as in "no one's nominal wages were cut".

I don't follow. Icelanders decided in a referendum to default. They didn't decide in a referendum to offer guarantees on the Icelandic deposits of British depositors before the crisis; their government did that.
