You can use expect on Options and Results to extract the value and panic on Error in the same line (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/result/enum.Result.html#method.expect).
let html_content = reqwest::blocking::get(&permalink).expect("the request should succeed");
You can also use unwrap if you don’t need a custom message. The ? operator is definitely the most compact way of handling errors, and for good reason because the rust developers want people to use it. Once you learn that the code will become somewhat smaller.
Terrible headline, I assumed the statue was suggesting the people involved are shit. The fact that it’s on a desk makes it very different, this is despicable.
Yeah but also this is only for their EU profit, so it’s really an even higher percentage.
It doesn’t really make sense to talk about money they made in other countries when talking about these fines, as if they make 5 billion in profit in country X and get fined 6 billion, they would still have lost money for operating in the country regardless of how much money they made other places. Since they lost money in the country, that fine would be high enough for them to want to fix their law breaking or totally pull out of the country, and so the fine accomplishes its purpose.
To be fair the glorified babysitter wouldn’t require 4+ years of education on educating children, so they probably couldn’t just be “simply teaching.” This is still an awful idea, they seem to be trying to save money by paying a glorified babysitter a lower wage than a teacher. Private schools can be for profit in some place, I wonder if that applies here.
