The landlord feels that he's losing money by renting it out at a lower costs, so he holds out for more. I used small numbers for the sake of example, scaled up to a city it'd represent 10% of the city's housing stock sitting

The concept of intellectual property is antithetical to how humans have progressed socially and technologically for millenia. It's a wasteful aberration that strangles innovation with red tape and hands control of our culture over to t

You're assuming a single property and a rational Landlord. Imagine the Landlord owns 10 properties and sets the rent to $2k/mo on all of them with 1 property remaining empty. Maybe that last property could be rented out at $1.7k&#

Jellyfin has handled the default Picard output format just fine for me. I don't see the expectation of a standard naming format as unreasonable, given that it's open source and they're fairly short on developers

Just my own conjecture, but it's pleasant to write, the NuGet package ecosystem is very well populated, and it combines a great web framework with the ability to drop down into low level code when necessary. In recent years cross platf

I'm curious as to how food delivery worked in your country before Uber et al. In the UK, outside of corporate chains, it was largely a cash in hand operation for both the restaurants and drivers. Drivers would typically be paid a small

This happened to me. My employer sent me a card and it was marked counterfeit. I raised a complaint and was basically told to go fuck myself.

Outside of fine dining/small plates, portion sizes are fairly large in the UK if you're planning on eating three courses.

This simply isn't true anymore. Even pre-covid, many restaurants were delivering food and it was becoming normal to box up leftovers. I've had upmarket steakhouses offer to box up my remaining food despite them not offering delive

They're only a new level of degeneracy if you pretend that sex workers aren't physically displaying themselves in windows or selling themselves on the street.

Don't know if they ever agreed to sell. IIRC they did partner with Oracle to host their infrastructure, as a way of showing that they were trying to allay US concerns.

Most people who aren't working in Brussels have zero idea about how the EU functions at all. Brexit voting towns that were shocked to find various programs shuttered once they got what they'd voted for are a great example of this.

Anecdotally, I've replaced more halogens than any other kind of bulb. I'm assuming it was the fixture that was causing it. They were cheap but they guzzled power.

Then their business isn't viable. The alternative is that we allow businesses to externalise those costs onto society.

I'd rather not use something that's less convenient, less consistent, and generally worse.

You're right that it's not a problem inherent to 720p itself. I was using it as a proxy since the issues weren't present in Netflix's 4k encoding and it's more familiar than other measures.
