No. The residence becomes an 'asset', and the original owner (and now owner of your friendly Mongolian NYC-condo-operations company [MNYCCOC]) now pays rent to the very same MNYCCOC as the landlord. They could even consider the co

Not middle-class, middle-income. Also, that was 14 years ago.

Joe Homeowner already is incentivized to sell grandma's home. Homes need upkeep. No-one keeps an old home around to rot and fall down - that tends to bee bad for the evaluation. The issue is that those who can't finance a primary

In reality, they will now just create a company in Singapore or Mongolia or another such place, which will then own the second home - while itself being owned by the original owner. Problem solved significantly cheaper than this new tax. In

1 million remains the hallmark of 'wealthy' (as in: not us), to the point where pop culture has started mocking the concept decades ago (See: That Austin Powers movie...) Hardly everyone understands 'owning a house' as m

I assume you have not read Directive 2016/2102 and/or EN 301 549, because your approach is nice and so very, very, very suable. The issue is not accessibility itself. I'm all for making things simpler. The issue is that the E

Ever since the EU has started to mandate web accessibility compliance - without defining what exactly needs to be done to be compliant, the only safe, lawyer-resistant way is to put aria-labels on absolutely everything. It sucks, and arguab

I had a whole zoo of - physical - O'Reilly books back in the day. I still own a few today, but they tend to be less language-specific and more 'best practices'-oriented (Hello, 'Bad Data Handbook'). What made me sto

Any software that breeds a consultancy culture around it is a software that has become too complex and should probably be broken up into or replaced by smaller, more manageable parts. I'm saying that as a former ACE-certified Atlassian

Nobody is stopping you from publishing on the net. Nobody is stopping you from blocking bot traffic. You don't need search engines - you can just link between sites or have webrings. Like we used to, pre-2000. Nobody is stopping you fr

I think you are painting Heidegger in an undeservedly bad light (not all Nazis were the same. There were shades of grey), and even if you consider Heidegger's thoughts as worthless by contamination (which would be a tragedy), you are a

This reads so much like a story in Gates' 'The Road Ahead' about IBM refusing graphical printing because some of their printers just couldn't, while at the same time this iteration makes no sense at all and is a bit we

That's why 'fun on the internet' was, always has been, is, and always will be a hobby, not a job. If you do things for money, you optimize not for fun, but for return of (time) investment. Which is only fun if you have other

Just for clarification: Does this affect intraday price changes, and how much if this is AI vs. 'standard database operations'? I'm thinking of scenarios such as 'Oh, we're going to have a heatwave between 14:00 and

What you need is some form of - European - megacorp getting hurt by this and going after LaLiga for a ridiculously huge, LaLiga-destroying amount of money.

"Best" depends on your use-case, like always. I mostly work on my own projects, and keep many things private. I switched to a privately hosted gitea. I'm fairly happy with it.

Some perspective ... I really do not see 'the public hating AI' outside of a very specific demographic (17-30 year old artsy types, generally left-leaning). Average everyday people in my area either don't care about AI at all

You'd think the natural result would be 'This was horrible; this trainer is a psychopath. I am not going to do that to another human being.' But then, we're talking about humans, especially the violence-enjoying strata

But that's not what the regulation is saying, is it? It says * replaceable with 'commercially available tools' (which means: Apple could just sell you a 'iphone battery replacment tool kit for 1000 Euros) * has excemptio

That's actually pretty common. Deutsche Bahn does everything from real estate to infrastructure to truck companies (no longer in Europe, though, they had to sell that off) to car sharing to energy production to IT development to tradin

I was hoping for some 'technical' secrets. Like: you can actually change the lightbulbs for the headlights of the Series 0 train while it being underway - there is a service hatch that opens to a human-sized service area accessi

As an old school hacker ... I feel your pain. Words change meaning all the time. I vividly remember when 'coder' was used as a diminutive, much like the later script-kiddie or code-monkey - "A software developer of little ski

Don't look at two groups, it's not a duality. Working hard becomes ... acceptable if you have some sort of individually desirable outcome. That can be results, values - it also can be money. Working 100 hour weeks for minimum wage

It's ironic to call something 'Europe does it better' when all alternatives mentioned are - objectively - worse, sometimes catastrophically worse than the things they are meant to replace. This is especially true for offers t
