If you’re in CA, you can probably break the lease if you really want to. You might be able to negotiate a rent reduction at least to save you both some hassle. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/tenants-right-break

I do wish we’d spend more time on spending from these funds and not the oft-hollow initial commitments. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/03/business/donor-advised-fu...

Not really. People bluff in negotiations all the time. A normal response would have been, “I can’t do that. Are you still committed to leaving?” Instead Google went all scorched earth and it’s still unclear why. It also indicates that they

Indeed. I don’t agree with all of these principles. I’m just stating what I’ve observed.

How might we create a digital commodity that is: 1) Consistent with a specific set of ideals (anyone can issue, what happens on the network is a matter of individual responsibility, establish economic incentives to funnel people into good b

Should I be able to enforce a code of conduct in my store? It’s closer to ejecting a patron for shouting racial slurs at the top of their lungs. Doing a cursory skim, the actual blog content seems alarmist but probably not violating. The co

A closer analogy would be “what’s next? Apple approving all movies in Netflix?” The simple and consistent principle Apple applies is “how much negotiating leverage does this app developer have?”

Texas law is quite open to interpretation. Reckless driving is defined as "a person commits an offense if the person drives a vehicle in wilful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property." [1] Driving at that distan

The truck is at fault by being there at all. This is not acceptable behavior. They created the situation with the intent to provoke. It’s classic bullying.

Few people play the villain in their own story. More likely they thought they were helping people with chronic pain and justified it by thinking that “more good than harm comes of it”. Plenty of people on this site are employed in work with

Read the article. Google is stepping up its enforcement, which is the story. > Google said in a blog post on Monday that it was providing “clarity” on billing policies because there was confusion among some developers about what types of

To me, this question is easier to model as a function of some scalar impact metric. Suppose we could quantify influence somehow. What people are arguing over is whether TikTok crosses some line of “too much influence” not “existence of infl

I was doing this in 2015 via Thunderbolt 2. The transition to USB-C combined power and data at the cost of MagSafe and being able to trust that if a cord plugs in to the socket it will work. I don’t think that was a fair trade.

Charging for access goes against the mission of democratizing access to this info. Corporate sponsorships seem like a good idea though.

Reddit usually has more relevant info for me than a raw Google search. My normal search behavior is something like search for “thing”, browse useless blogspam, search for “thing reddit” and then find a link to the answer through a comment o

Don’t let the app stores off the hook. They collect 30% and dictate tons of less meaningful design choices. They could make this go away. But then Apple would have to explain to it’s shareholders how a majority of it’s services revenue is a
