Repeating true statements in a sarcastic manner doesn’t suddenly make them untrue statements.

You need to show at least some reference to that, or a name I can look up..

Yeah…technically possible but reckless beyond belief.

Protests by the masses and business negotiations are very different.

Yeah the maintainers don’t owe users nothing is a disgusting sentiment that doesn’t stand real scrutiny. There is a social contract here. If you want to be respected and get recognized as “tridge” or whatever your name is, you owe the people that recognize you and that wider community in general.

He is definitely not talking about school exams. He is talking about either university entrance exams or exams in university classes.

Come on, this attack vector would have been flagged by at least one person and you won’t then have multiple accounts hacked because of it. AI reacts fairly predictably to a single attack vector and don’t learn unless it gets flagged and then taught.

I’m renting my apartment but I still refer to it as my apartment. Everyone does this, it’s very common usage.

That’s what’s being discussed though… Dedicated hr teams, people ops, whatever other structure. The basic hr tasks still need to be done but how is what is being discussed.

I already came across some bs bug in claude today due to this stupid rust bun thing, so I absolutely 100% support this decision.

It absolutely is a bad thing. That's why so much effort goes into designing and manufacturing rockets correctly. So the tests go well and you can move onto actual launches. Using that as a metaphor for canary builds displays a lack of knowledge in just multiple areas lol.

Yeah it’s a big contrast, I guess that’s why I mentioned it. I forgot it would be easier to learn with an automatic, or at least the difference wouldn’t be so obvious with it.

Hoarding of housing affects normal people’s lives worse than some economic theory that’s we can see failing in real time. People’s lives are more important than theoretical economic prosperity.

Vacation homes are an example of hoarding and should be taxed exponentially. Barcelona, for example, has already banned short term rentals starting 2029, and so has my home town, so there are at least some people in power who think like me, and I hope there will be many many more people with my mindset.

By banning short term rentals of residential properties, you move short term rental demand from residential to commercial market. Which does change the supply and demand for each market.

Seems like for NYC, it worked as expected with the increasing hotel prices. And didn’t work as expected for rentals. The next step now would be to ask why it didn’t work as expected for rentals while it worked as expected for hotels, not just concluding that the ban wouldn’t work.

There are a large number of properties in big cities sitting empty due to people hoarding land/houses. Too much is anything more than your primary residence. It should be taxed exponentially with both number of secondary residences and size normalized to urban development around the property.

I know there is data that if you compare short term rentals to houses on sale, the rentals are a very large percentage, like more than 30%, in big cities. More than enough to significantly influence house prices (to be higher). Which is why short term rentals and vacation properties should be relegated to commercial properties only.

Put a few mile ring around any city center and yes the land there is scarce. You would not want one or a small number of individuals buying up all or a lot of that land because other people want to live there too. Therefore do exponential taxation based on land they already own. Why is this confusing to you?
