   I do see some difference. I might agree that there should be a difference between a person who owns a property primarily for their own use and rents on Airbnb and someone who owns a property primarily for renting on Airbnb. One is more comm

   But the problem is Airbnb is blurring the line between personal and business use of the home. You shouldn't able to claim all the the legal benefits of a non-commercial/personal property if you are using it for a business. I'

   I do think that it matters how someone is fired on the spot though. I'd say firing someone on the spot is about the same as giving them a few weeks notice if you also give them full pay for those weeks and also officially end the emplo

   Are you saying that you made money selling drugs, told the IRS that the money was made illegally and nothing happened? I've heard that the IRS definitely focuses on collecting tax money and not how it was made, but I thought that peopl

   I'd say a PhD from vet school is just as relevant as a PhD in med school. You are dealing with the same problems, just with a much wider patient type.

   That is true, but that is because of the state, not the dealer. I actually had some frustrating problems with that. My battery was out of warranty, but if I had been dealing with California regulations it would have been in warranty. I ende

   I've had a decent amount of work done on my car. But the few bigger repairs were either expected, or unusual and not representative of the model (like the engine work I had to do). And the dealer has given me some significant goodwill

   Is this accurate for the hybrids? I have a hybrid and I can't find a local independent shop who will work on the hybrid system. I'm wondering if those estimates include data from dealers.

   I don't trust those numbers for the hybrids. I have a hybrid and replaced the hybrid battery pack. It was expensive. I'd expect a dealer quote for a replacement would run several thousand dollars. I'd also expect the average

    How do you get the feedback necessary to check your learning? With programming you have techniques to check your work at some level. But that's not the case with math.

    I'm actually currently working on projects related to traffic management systems for UAS. I'd say that currently air travel is much more complicated than street travel. And there is a lot of research and engineering that needs to

    Yeah, that's my issue. I'm currently dealing with some really frustrating problems with dropped calls. I got a new phone that is better supported, and that seems to have solved my problems so far. But cell coverage has been an iss

    I'd think the RIAA would be much happier if music wasn't available for free so easily. And YouTube is a great place to find music legally. Getting free money isn't great at all if they think that the free money is from other

    I have friend who got an offer at a large, well known tech company. When he graduated he ended up negotiating a significant five figure raise by looking at other companies. So I don't agree with that statement. He was basically a new g

    And I've heard that US military doctrine is to focus more on reducing the number of enlisted and lower ranked soldiers than reducing the number of military leaders when becoming a peacetime army. Because it's easier to get inexper

    Contractors are usually treated differently from full-time employees. I would not expect them to receive the same benefits.

    Ah, some papers are reporting that New York is interested in $22 million in loans to one specific client. 3 million sounds a lot less troublesome.

    Aren't they being accused of misrepresenting over $20 million worth of loans to institutional investors? It sounds like they are dealing with some serious fraud allegations. How will they survive? It looks to me like the company is imp

    I can't remember the specific forum off the top of my head. But I remember reading several long threads covering complaints about one or two specific hard drive resellers. Apparently not only were new hard drives not actually new, but

    I'm also bothered by the fact that most copyright extensions are retroactive. If something is going to lose its copyright protection in a few years, that work should lose it even if copywright protection is extended.

    Is the compensation competitive? I've gotten the general impression that sometimes hiring is more broken than other parts of the company, and that the more competitive positions can sometimes have more frustrating interviews.

    I'd say that this problem isn't just with Valve. This strategy of gambling for virtual items with in-game currency is used in other games that use a freemium model. Valve gets fewer complaints because you only spend real money on

    I have an AmazonBasics bag for my surface. It was cheap and decent quality. I'm really happy with it. It's good enough for me and the price is right.

    And another bad thing is that I don't really find RSUs for most startups that attractive. I'd rather have RSUs from some public company like Amazon or Google than some non-public startup. At least I can easily sell Amazon stock.

    True, I'm wondering what Vogt's response would be. I'm also curious why Kyle would want Jeremy gone after a month.
