From the article, the primary reason landlords are holding inventory back is because some of the predatory practices they were incentivized to use to deregulate their apartments got revoked and they are hoping court cases work in their favo

This is inaccurate. If a landlord lowers the rent of a rent stabilized apartment, they are able to raise it again at the next renewal to whatever the authorized rent is. I lived in an NYC rent stabilized apartment for a number of years, an

If you tie rent increases to COL changes YoY then rent should stay relatively indexed to wages and other expenses, while preventing landlords from manipulating occupancy at the expense of renters. I would have happily rented for forever if

Ha, one way to put it is "hyper liberal shenanigans", the other way to put it is, "Presenting only one side of a highly complex situation requiring nuance". As an example in this case, when you look at other articles, pl

If you look at some of the other comments on this thread, plus some reddit links, it seems like it's less about being a customer and more about wild inconsistency and unfairness: https://www.reddit.com/r/nyu/c

The drive API already provides a thumbnail image for supported file types, so I’m reasonably sure they’re just consuming and rendering that thumbnail.

I thought about it, but I wasn’t at google in 2017, so I have no context for thr decision or what was happening before that. It’s also worth noting that paid users were never subject to this, including people who were free google apps for y

I will continue to emphasize that Google does not mine your private emails, full stop, for both free and paid users. https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6603?hl=en In fact, none of your data in any Workspace pr

I agree somewhat that the article seems more structured around “managing risk is important”, rather than talking about concrete actions. But the idea of paying people more to work on issues to mitigate risk is very valid. Lots of people ar

Google is a big company, it's very difficult to generalize about what the expectations are universally - and my statement was just about my little corner of it. Speaking for myself, I don't care at all whether people are in the of

My team at google, we originally told everyone to come and go as they pleased back in February. That seemed the most flexible and the most employee friendly, but when we surveyed the team they didn’t like having no guidance on when they sh

I think there’s all kinds of problems that intersect to create the problems we see with these hires: - founders, especially first time founders, often have middling experience hiring for any role, and zero experience hiring execs. - the abs

My first job was at a tiny ISP during the dialup->DSL/cable transition, and I got put in charge of setting up the very first RAID array they had, which was a RAID-5 hardware array (SCSI, natch). It was a 4 drive array, we moved mos

I have to agree - finding a good trainer has made an incredible difference. Years ago I tried a random trainer at my local gym who spent most of his time alternating between weird exercises and incredulously asking about how I possibly cam

Also as a New Yorker, worth noting that many of the lowest paid workers are undocumented, and their flexibility to pursue higher paying work is limited. Sadly, this means that 60-90 minute commutes are not out of the ordinary.

There’s a nuance here, which is that in your scenario it sounds like truth social made a conscious decision to erase location data focused around this particular event - if that’s the case, and they picked this event specifically, that seem

I think they’re optimizing more for people who travel across state lines to obtain an abortion in a state where it’s legal. Those people may face a risk of prosecution in their home state, so avoiding evidence they were at a (legal) aborti

I'm 99% sure that google supports openbsd because that also includes libressl, openbgp, and other solutions in addition to openbsd - it's a "generally good for the internet" scenario.

The issue isn’t one of format, it’s distribution. Menu data is usually in hard copy form, and the utility to a restaurant in going to the trouble to duplicate it online and keep it up to date is almost certainly not worth it (in their eyes

Except that Google isn't doing the parsing, it's a third-party, who is then providing the data to Google (and a bunch of others). Sadly, mixed in with the parsed/PDF-scanned data is accurate data that was hand-edited or auto

It was a pretty big part of the keynote where they announced it, I think it’s just that they don’t really do in-product promos for new features in iOS.
