i sent the article to an AI detection tool and it said that 22% are AI generated. (that tool distinguishes between AI generated, AI assisted, and human) it marks the first few paragraphs as such. i have no idea how accurate that tool genera

well i am not from a sane country i guess. keeping homes vacant is already illegal in germany in most places, and laws against vacant commercial properties are being discussed. this is not just about how commercial property works, but this

thank you, i understand that, but we also need to consider the benefit/downside for the community. i believe it is a mistake to try to punish bad actors when the consequence is that everybody else suffers too. it depends on how many ba

in germany that's illegal. you are not allowed to deny families with children, and even small pets (small dogs, cats, hamsters, etc) can not be denied.

actually a lot is privately owned, but by law 2/3rd of every rental property must be offered as subsidized by the city. so in practice you own the building, but the city decides who gets to rent 2/3rds of it since the subsidized u

i am considering what i am proposing. but i can't do that alone. throwing my ideas out there and having them critiqued with counterarguments is the point. if you just say i have no clue and my ideas are bad and i should reconsider then

how is that a moral hazard if the consequence is that we avoid shops staying empty? because that's the goal from the city's perspective. and isn't investing into a property that they then fail to rent out in a profitable mann

you are missing the point, i don't care if i can buy this or not. i care that the street is attractive to people. if i do have a shop in the street (because i can actually afford it) then i care even more because if the street is not a

if my business doesn't make enough profit then i literally can't. that's not an opinion or a choice. that's a fact of life. and if noone is willing to pay that much rent whether they could afford it or not, then the rent

i switched from GNOME to KDE just a few weeks ago. the main reason was that i thought GNOME had become unstable on fedora 42 because my session started crashing rather frequently. since i was already using some KDE applications i thought i&

the question is, why don't they prefer that? what is influencing that decision. for the building owners, if they don't want a longer loan then that's their choice. but we want the building filled, so if forcing them to lower

anyone working on bindings to other languages? (go, python, ruby, etc)

no, i can't. the rent is to high. which means the rent is not market-rate. the free market was supposed to correct that, but it doesn't, so maybe this is not a free market after all.

the funds are listed here: https://ngi.eu/opencalls/ i think nlnet is only the executor. NGI is a European Commission initiative. that's pretty close to a EU strategy i think.

they already gave their explanation. if you disagree then it is on you to provide a counter argument otherwise anyone could just shoot down any argument by claiming that it has no merit. at best you could say that you do not find the argume

oh, sorry, your suggestion wasn't unrealistic enough to not be believable so my sarcasm detector failed. i took ___ to mean the option key which has this symbol made up of lines: "⌥", it is also the key most likely to be used

another possible remedy would be to find ways to change the conditions of the loan so that building owners can continue to pay off their loan at better rates that match the income they can make from rent.

there is a problem to be solved. empty shops make shopping areas unattractive. walking through a half empty mall or shopping street is depressive. i see this all the time in china and in developing countries in general. they build huge mall

there is a dedicated fund for taler, that alone explains why there are so many projects. now why there is a fund for that is the real question to ask. i guess the people behind the next generation internet initiative giving money to the fou

i have been considering whether i could apply with my project. i am unsure because until now i am working alone and because of financial difficulties work is stagnating since i need to focus on earning money. i posted about the project here

i thought the plans were a clever jab at commercial services, but i also found them a bit confusing. now i see where you are coming from and that does make some sense. though maybe instead put one box in the center and write: all plans are
