In this article, it's just an AI-generated TL;DR, tagline, sub-title box that was badly prompt-engineered and the website owners didn't care about its quality. I am pretty sure the entire website is an AI generated news aggregator.

Not everything is post-scarcity, mostly food and clothes. Land, fuel, weapons, art, fame, and labor are still limited resources in the Star Trek world. Also, not everywhere is post-scarcity, as we see many "poor" or restricted societies. The post-scarcity bit is mostly about a social safety net for individuals in the Federation.
> Armin Shimerman addressed the issue when asked at a question-and-answer session at a Star Trek convention. He stated that:
> In America, people ask "Do the Ferengi represent Jews?" In England, they ask "Do the Ferengi represent the Irish?" In Australia, they ask if the Ferengi represent the Chinese ... The Ferengi represent the outcast ... it's the person who lives among us that we don't fully understand.[30]
A Jewish comedian made a joke about how jews (only in the US*) were offended that Ferengi in Star Trek were based on them - "why would we assume these ugly greedy people are _us_?"
*Outside the US, it looks like the Ferengi are mocking American capitalist culture.
All my corporate AML training says that not performing some KYC for large payments, directly or through a bank, is a crime in its own even if the recipient isn't sanctioned.
From Claude, maybe it's a little nuanced compared to conservative corporate policies, but doesn't feel very legal: "You can be charged with money laundering (18 USC 1956/1957 in the US, equivalents elsewhere) if you knowingly — or with willful blindness — process proceeds of crime. "I didn't ask" is not a defense if the circumstances were suspicious; deliberately avoiding KYC to preserve deniability is exactly what willful blindness doctrine targets. The recipient doesn't need to be formally sanctioned; the funds just need to be tainted."
How is it not a violation of AML laws to pay a ransom like this? Surely they didn't verify that the recipient (a criminal) isn't sanctioned or associated with sanctioned organizations.
Philadelphia cheese brand is from New York. Presumably, the German market licenses the brand but produces locally in Europe and doesn't import from the US (New York and Wisconsin).
In New York it's the same, they make the license plates and also school furniture, and maybe other things too. I was scared for a moment when I was told by USPS Informed Delivery that I have incoming mail from Auburn Correctional Facility - but it was a license plate.

Customer A pays you $100 for goods that cost you $10. You invest $100-$10=$90 in customer B so that they'll pay you $90 for goods that cost you $9. Your reported revenue is now $100+$90=$190, but the only money that entered the system is the original $100.
In the early stages of that pilot, the backup person was off-site in a call center so the higher the AI failure rate was the more expensive the program was. If they realized it's better to have the backup person be the order-taker, that's pretty good.
