And that it’s not good yet. I seems like the author is proposing a continuum of: Not good enough -> good -> polished This article has not made it to the good stage because it doesn’t convey a point well.

There’s no way I’m logging into rando apps using my GitHub id. Aside from their bad UX and the potential to accidentally over grant permissions, the app could abuse GitHub ToS with my credentials and get me banned. Not worth the risk just t

This seems reasonable to me, but does Ukraine not have banks that accept wire transfers? Can’t I just log into my US bank and do an international transfer to a recipient in Ukraine?

In my mental lazy file there’s a company called antipode that is able to find people with opposite and like reviews and can help people identify and avoid items. So you can basically collect people who review in ways that are useful to you

I think the reasoning goes something like: 1) corporations are guilty of wage theft and not prosecuted 2) shoplifting harms corporations 3) harming corporations is ok because they are guilty. Different in scale, but I think it’s similar to

Why not raise rents 8% and rent out all 4,000. Rents aren’t chosen arbitrarily by the landlord. They can’t set to whatever they like, else they’d increase 100%. This is different is a single landlord has a monopoly or there’s a cartel. But

> Landlord costs aren't ordinarily passed onto tenants I disagree. Costs are frequently passed on directly. For example, if utilities are included in the rent and the utility rates shift up, then the rent will increase due to that.

I don’t think so. For an individual corporation that owns 4000 houses empty houses are really bad. Perhaps in the short term, they’ll try to hold a price, but will start discounting and adjusting down as homes stay empty. This is pretty sim

In my county, they have a “homestead exemption” that only applies to people to live in their home. I think this helps with the problem you’re describing. This allows the property tax rate to increase while impacting non-resident owners more

You’re right. I was just pointing out how this risk is lower now than 10 years ago. It’s not completely eliminated. There are remote jobs of varying quality. But they are much more prevalent now, than 10 years ago.
