How are they handling visiting the grounds/future apartments for interested renters? That's one of the main duties of the leasing office people in the US. When looking to rent one visits many such places and asks the leasing offic

Do we have some data on how thin the margin is for entry level subcompact cars? I was always under the impression that cars are sold at the "market price", regardless of production costs which usually meant at much higher price th

Depends on if that creates a hostile work environment or not. If a lot of your coworkers would be (or believe that they would be) negatively impacted by the policies you publicly support and talk about, then it's reasonable to think th

You can have the thought, you just can't discuss it with your coworkers in your workplace, for obvious reasons I would say.

Context matters. The workplace is a place where certain discussions are simply not allowed. For example discussing an ongoing lawsuit against the employer. It's not about intention, your intention may be in the right place, it's a

I used to have that when I started cycling (after never doing any sports throughout my whole life, not even the required exercises in school) but it was a combination of doing too much too quickly with not having adapted the rest of my beha

And unfortunately that results in people pushing themselves too much, too suddenly, injuring themselves (many times permanently) which means now they cannot even do light exercise. I would ban all marketing around hard exercising, it's

(this may be an unpopular opinion but...) The problem with having a healthy lifestyle is that our lives aren't statistics. Big number theory does not apply, we only have one draw, one life and if it happens that we are one of those unl

I don't know about others but the reasons why I bike to work have nothing to do with reducing carbon or being green or being healthy, it's simply that I find it a lot more fun to get to work by bike than drive. It actually takes 2

No matter how it's called it shouldn't take multiple months to test and release updates to single shared components, especially when the point is that you introduced a regression in a previous update.

So if you want to start a new social network site to allow people to publicly share fitness information and routes used by runners, swimmers and cyclists, how would you go about it that would be different from what Strava already does? Stra

Am I the only one that may see a positive side to all this? For example, what if I use this technology to swap my face and/or my partner's face into other people's videos and then we can watch these? I think it might be prett

I would say that's because Eastern Europe has changed, to the better, and ironically in some regard because of his previous contributions. When Eastern Europe was still largely communist, his ideas of government and society (even if yo

Democracy without a Bill of Rights is simply dictatorship of the majority. That's why modern democracies have a Constitution and a justice system that is independent of the election system. You are technically right that if someone fro

Good luck with completely removing support to run 32 bit applications and all those 32 bit videogames (which is the vast majority of them). Or any other 32 bit application that won't ever receive updates.

Hmm not sure about this. I would say that the size of the company (or rather, its profit/disposable income) greatly affects flexibility of employee benefiting policies, at least when it comes to the financial costs associated with them

That is slightly inaccurate: ads are also shown to videos of non-monetized accounts if a copyright claim is made by someone for content on that video and the claimer decides to put ads in it for allowing the content. I have no monetization
