That's actually fine, but the people who oppose rent control would probably not accept that because that's basically the system (give or take) that already exists in places where rent control already exists.
My ex also had a lease that stipulated automatic 5% increases, until they made him sign a new agreement mandating the non-negotiated increase would be 7.5% instead.
NYC has a particularly spectacular brand of hostility towards tenants (the latest trend I've seen is, instead of broker fees, absorbent move in/move out fees paid to property managers).
I've lived in properties with no form of rent control whatsoever. Landlords issuing 10%+ rent increases is awful. it denies you the stability that's granted by fair/consistent rent increases. It erodes the community fabric by having a revolving door of tenants who live there 1-2 years before leaving.
I do agree that we should focus on other remedies such as building more. However, even in a market with ample housing, I'm not convinced that some Landlords would still just as happily take the 'I bet they'd rather a 10% rent increase than deal with the hassle of moving' gamble.
Most of the people I've met who are anti rent control/stabilization usually don't have the pleasure of a landlord who has decided to engage in such tactics. Almost always they argue from some place of guaranteed housing safety.
this is an issue that applies to people making 30k and also people making 300k.
I suspect the ceo of greenhouse wasn't saying 'and there will never be another new ats again.' that's a ridiculous thing to say, as evidenced by the fact that greenhouse and lever both cropped up.
the reality actually is, you DO need depth in order to close lucrative enterprise contracts.
but startups will use anything. you use early money/traction to fund the deeper features. that's saas/startup 101.
anyhow, saas just means the second "s" matters more. maybe software gets cheaper (that's actually an unproven hypothesis), but service encompasses many dimensions. the most lucrative contracts won't be eaten by fly-by-the-night operations almost by definition. any startup that knows the words 'vendor risk' will tell you.
Everyone knows that many things that are not directly beneficial to society would go unfunded because humans optimize for what’s around them, and things that are self-interested.
There isn’t even alignment. One person wants to fund science, the other wants to fund high speed rail, the other wants farm subsidies, one wants social security and the other wants the military. Government balances all of that together. Of course people will make value judgements about their pet interests and declare the other aspects to be better funded separately.
depends on the grant type and what scenario we're talking about. things change if we're talking about 3-legged oauth or client-device oauth. for example, in an authorization code flow, the refresh token is useless without the client id/secret.
more providers are making refresh-tokens single shot. this means that if someone refreshes your token for you, your own auth will break as you will not be eligible to refresh the token, at which point you could reconnect the app and void the old (stolen) session.
time-limiting and single-purposing the tokens are not cure-alls, but they do certainly offer enhanced security by limiting the amount and scope of damage.
Even time-limited or signed JWT, though has a separate issues.
Maybe you'll say 'those are both just text values passed like an apikey' though api keys don't frequently rotate/time limited, which is an important security feature.
alberta could also have had a wealth fund if it didn't have 0% sales tax, didn't do things like ralphbucks, etc.
norway and alberta take fundamentally different approaches to how they see the government and taxation. don't blame the federal government by saying individuals paying income tax somehow exempts the province from smart financial stewardship.
From everything I've heard, running LTSC is not a good idea for a daily-driver pc. App support/compatibility is annoying and not guaranteed. I guess if you have a small set of unchanging apps that you use and that's all it could be a good pick.
Interestingly, I hear a lot of people talk about LTSC, but few talking about their positive experiences. Is this the "I'm moving to Canada," of operating systems?
Honestly they should go in the other direction. Real people, real conversations. Upload an ID or a CC transaction or something in order to prove your identity, and require re-ups every few years.
the downside is no anonymity. The upside is, no astroturf, no bots, no nothing. Or maybe not 'none' but 'greatly reduced'.
That's actually a community I might be enthused about participating in. Sort of like HN, where a lot of people use their real names. The problem is how you bootstrap it. People need a good carrot to embrace the stick.
That I can't tell whether "the wheels coming off," is literal or figurative when it comes to Tesla is an indictment about their product quality at this point.
What a disaster. I don't really know anyone who is voluntarily buying Teslas when there are so many other viable options in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
or tech lead. or whoever. the point is, someone has to do the sizing. I think applying an underpowered agent to a task of unknown size is about as good as getting the intern to do it.
Even EMs and TPMs are assigning people based on their previous experience, which generally boils down to "i've seen this task before and I know what's involved," "this task is small, and I know what's involved," or "this task is too big and needs to be understood better."
Yeah... you split tasks into consecutively smaller tasks until it's estimateable.
I'm not saying that can't be done, but taking a large task that hasn't been broken down needs, you guessed it, a powerful agent. that's your senior engineer who can figure out the rote parts, the medium parts, and the thorny parts.
the goal isn't to have an engineer do that. we should still be throwing powerful agents at a problem, they should just be delegating the work more efficiently.
throwing either an engineer or an agent at any unexplored work means you just have to delegate the most experienced resource to, or suffer the consequences.
I've never seen the nasstatus page, but I have seen the OIS page, which I use frequently when experiencing delays to find out what's going on: https://www.fly.faa.gov/ois/?legacy=true
The links on the NAS page are also really good. nice share!
drinking out sucks now. it's too expensive. landlords are killing drinking out.
I love drinking craft beer. but when a single craft beer reaches up to $15 a beer, there's only so much I will partake, especially if I can have a $1 coors at home (which imo is still an expertly made product).
similarly, canned vodka sodas or malt bevages (like whiteclaw) easily hit the $10-$15/can mark at establishments. it's no wonder people don't want to drink out.
My ex also had a lease that stipulated automatic 5% increases, until they made him sign a new agreement mandating the non-negotiated increase would be 7.5% instead.
