If your value percentage does't cover market rate, then you might need to rethink your business. Market rate is derived from value percentage across all companies that seek the same talent (and also negotiating strength etc.). If a com

Fair enough. Could be the size of the area, lack of resources, and bad luck until suddenly a jackpot? For all I know, maybe the bones at camp are used to make soup… /shrug

Agreed. Home maintenance, property tax, mortgage interest, is a cost of owning regardless of whether you are renting or living in it. So that needs to always be part of your calculation, and I would hope most landlords are considering that.

Subjective. When I used to rent, I never saw my landlord after signing the lease. I was renting a house and taking care of small maintenance issues myself. I'd say it was far less effort to rent to me, then it would have been to live t

If you're single (watching alone), I'd say there's very little advantage over a laptop / tablet. If you're watching with others (family, significant other, sports with friends, etc.) it's more social to use a s

I don't agree that this is a "principle". Having free access to the source is IMO the only principle. As stated in the wikipedia article, the rest is just a "suggestion". I think there's plenty of room to evolv

What you’re describing is simply person B not really listening, and if that’s true then it’s pointless to argue the point anyways. Person A is better off sticking with the compromise because it doesn’t cost him/her anything to do so, a

Demanding users of OSS at a minimum will cost you time. At worst they can also cost you reputation. At best they can help you improve your project. I think in most cases the entitlement many (most?) users have makes it a net negative these

Not even remotely. Immigrants can buy a home. This is about foreign ownership (not a primary residence). Foreign ownership is just one problem though, and IMO a smaller one than both cheap debt and lack of supply.

If raising interest rates causes a recession then we’re already in one and just pretending we’re not. Consider the long term consequences of this debt economy. We’re just kicking the can down the road. It won’t magically get better. The soo

This is a really good point. You always need to look at incentives. It's OK for both society and politicians to benefit, but you should always dig a little deeper. Someone else in this thread pointed out "the city does not make ge
