I just can’t imagine how much of a work writing a freaking web engine from scratch is. Massive respect to all the devs working on Servo. Hope it release pretty soon.

How many categories of trash/bag are there?
Two, basically. Green one is for normal, yellow one is for food waste. Grey one is for recyclable stuff which I’ve never seen for myself which I assume is because there’s almost always a different company that handles them. There are some special bags for something like glass, dirt…etc which I have no personal experience with. But that’s just a bit fancier normal bag so only two it is: normal and food waste bag.
Those kind of machines I’ve showed earlier are very common but only in big apartment complexes, which is, still, one of the most common housing in South Korea. If there’s no such machine near you, you’ll just have to buy bags for food waste.
Trash collectors don’t really take a hard look at the contents but when it’s so obvious that there’s food waste in a normal bag, it’s about $100 fine for you and the garbage won’t get collected.
But in reality, quite a lot of people do throw out food waste in a normal bag, not specifically because food waste bag is significantly more expensive(I’m not sure if it actually is more expensive or not. It’s such an insignificant amount of money for me to track) but because convenience.
If you go shopping in South Korea, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll get plastic bag like this. This works as both shopping bag and normal waste bag. Pretty neat(although they tear easier than any other bags ☹)
curbside trash will only get picked up if it’s in the official bags, which are priced by size(1L, 5L… all the way up to 50L-75L)
I live in South Korea and we’ve been doing national recycling ever since I could remember.
this thing calculates the weight of your food waste and charges you for the exact amount you throw out. These are everywhere. I think it’s neat, especially considering that other countries are not doing the same thing…
I was pretty surprised that recycling food waste is not common thing around the world.
Really? Because I will never feel comfortable acting as a rapist, especially if it wasn’t explained to me before actually taking the gig.
That’s the same reaction you get when you introduce human rights to a lot of non-western countries(LGBTQ, abortion…)
Even ignoring your outrageous remark on how US doens’t pay its debts, consider this: US’s debt is in USD. Pakistan’s debt is in (ultimately)USD.
Please learn how economy works.
Something like that. They sold $50 worth of gift cards at about 10% off pretty regularly, so a lot of people bought many of them. Turns out it was a clear red flag. Now those gift cards are being refused by basically all other businesses.
It’s not that we are not able to shoot them down. There are cities and small towns near the border and even without them, Seoul itself is really close to the border. Official statement is that shooting them down is not an option.
I hope Meta becomes an easy money that governments can just use like its in their pocket.
North Korean defectors receive significant governmental support in South Korea, albeit some might argue it’s inadequate. The majority successfully integrate, securing job and attaining a moderate standard of living, although quite significant wage gap exists between defectors and South Korean-born citizens (approximately $500 avg. as of 2019). According to 2019 survey, 74.2% of defectors are satisfied with their lives in South Korea.
Still, some defectors struggle with adaptation, unfortunately leading to criminal behavior or, in extreme cases, suicide.
Obviously, those from privileged backgrounds in NK tend to adapt more easily. They often arrive with significant funds (with questionable source) and make a deal with the SK gov. to not ask about its origin in exchange for NK’s internal intel, which this guy obviously will have a lot.
If you see how other similar cases usually go by in South Korea though… This seems to be more than what usually gets sentenced.
South Korean law is a joke. Forced minor into prostitution? Probation. Attempted rape of a minor? Probation or maybe few months.
I think that is the one thing a country ought not outsource
