Wait: the regulation would not apply to new rentals? Yeah, that creates obvious problems. If the policy were to apply to all leases, new as well as existing ones, would the problem be somewhat mitigated? (That's basically how things wo

The article is not about his contract not being renewed, but about the reason for that lack of renewal. Saying someone who consistently rates amongst your top performers as having unsatisfactory performance is clearly false. Which means tha

Depends of course on your use case. I've been using my flagship phone for 7 years now. It has fulfilled all my needs without any problems, with one hand tied behind its back even. Probably also a case of modest needs, but still.

This got me wondering: if people are suggesting to trade posts for a free stay or meal, they must believe that their posts are worth something. So adding value. In case this is not a one-of thing, but the way they travel, then they are basi

Any situation like that is one where the influencer will not be trying to get free stuff, but will be selling his/her audience. (At least, given an understanding of the situation.) I.e. they are offering their services as an ad-hoc ad

This is complete speculation: If you're coming from outside the solar system and want to end up orbiting earth, you probably need to change your delta-v significantly. Perhaps passing by the gas/ice giants isn't that bad a wa

I think you're right. Two main reasons: the number of sites grew exponentially, and the ratio of "fun/weird" people seems higher to anyone that has been on the Internet long enough. Why is that? Basically: because not ev

That's why a higher salary should be mandatory. Eg. 140% of a "normal" salary for that function. It would make companies be more serious about looking for talent elsewhere - such as in their own country.
