Things are getting better, just not as quickly as one would like them to. I’d rather have people tell me the facts than lie and pretend like everything is fine.

Interesting that it appears to have gone out to former subscribers too. They really shouldn't be retaining those email addresses, should they?

Just because they're bad at it doesn't mean they aren't doing it. And that's assuming their intent is actually to kill, and not to just send a message.

The two big differences are that Belarus actually forced the plane to land (the Bolivian one could have just gone back) and that this was a plane full of civilian passengers, not a diplomatic jet.
96.
by DangerousPie 5y ago
They did not do the same thing at all. Refusing permission for a state aircraft to transit your airspace is very different from forcing a civilian plane to land in your country under false pretences, in order to make a political arrest of a

That is very clearly not what happened.

This is a neat extension but I think we should acknowledge that stripping parameters like these from affiliate links is going to cause major problems for websites that are financed through affiliate revenue, even if they are open and honest

I don't mind people stripping these tags manually for link sharing, but stripping them across the board would be a major issue for website that finance themselves through affiliate links. Suddenly your referrals are no longer tracked a

What's to stop a website to do the same thing with the URLs in your address bar?

There is nothing wrong with having savings but right now pretty much every government in the world is trying to encourage consumer spending to get the economy going again. And the way they do that is by making the alternative (saving) less

The banks also have to pay negative interest rates to store money.

This but without the /s.

by DangerousPie 5y ago
Yes, the whole point of these ultra-low interest rates is to increase spending.

Looks like this is just some random guy's suggestion though? Not like these are the official help pages.

What journal is going to accept a study like this if they haven't obtained proper consent?

If it could do my laundry I'd buy it!

by DangerousPie 5y ago
So basically you'd buy this if it were an entirely different product?

I suspect "an extended period of time" will not be an hour two.

True, but I don't see how it would be any worse than running JS on any other web page. Assuming it is implemented in a safe way, that is.

I can see why they are doing it but I'll really miss FTP support. A lot of public data continuous to be distributed through FTPs and for a long time Firefox has been the easiest way to browse them.

I know the market isn't perfect, but in theory if lowly paid workers can't afford to live in the city anymore they'll start looking for jobs elsewhere, which will force their employers to raise wages.

Yeah, that comment was admittedly a bit flippant. But I would say that OP can't expect to have the flexibility and low capital requirements of renting but get the benefits of stability and profiting from price increases that a property

Sure, but I don't think it would have gone back to 100% if this law hadn't been overturned, since the law made it much more attractive to keep a property empty in order to sell it at some point.

The market is how we find a compromise between tenants' desire for low rents and landlords' desire for high rents. I don't think you can say it optimizes for landlord profitability but it obviously also doesn't optimize

Sure, but in the end the market rents will still reflect the desirability of living in Berlin. Whether that's because of salaries, culture, transport or something else.
118.
by DangerousPie 5y ago
If salaries were so bad, people would stop moving to Berlin and rents would fall. The fact that housing is still under such high demand shows that Berlin is clearly still a desirable place to live.
119.
by DangerousPie 5y ago
I think it's the opposite. The rent cap (at least in the way it was implemented) achieved nothing to solve the problems that exist in the Berlin rental market. It led to a huge decrease in rental supply. Yes, rent may have been cheap f

You mean "federal law trumps state law"?
