Sounds like the risk is negligible, and kids will be denied the opportunity to play with this stuff.

Win for the lawyers

You can get a Nissan Pathfinder or a Honda Odyssey minivan with automatic 6 cylinder engines, faster performance, better gas mileage, and room for an entire family

Challenge is that NYC regulates the operation of sros so much that you'd have to be insane to build them under the current rules.

Kind of a shame, as lots of people basically just want a room to sleep in and a place to sit

Can't wait until they find new pieces by C++P= Bach!

I've done migrations off my. Savings were 8+ figures/year, so worth it, but, the application didn't have a lot of development. Several companies tried and failed; in addition to all the issues described, you find random bugs in the source coffee that just happen to work.

Cobol also has goto statementsv and unions, which lend themselves to really hard to follow code.

When banks created derivatives that could only be fairly valued by the bank, with 5% profit margins built in, it got them a trip to Congress.

SGPs have margins that would make options traders blush and were sold to people with no financial sophistication whatsoever. These things turn your phone into a vampire, and have no socially redeeming value. Please ban them!

Cue the class action lawsuits

So the mostly poorer half subsidize the rich through employment taxes

8# is not unusual for a new low carb diet. 2-3 of fat loss plus a lot of water due to ketosis

Company is in dire financial straits and depends on selling stock and subscriptions to super fans. So why not extract more revenue from them?

You can also get an Edison screw to nema base and stick a USB adapter in it and use that to power a camera for about the same price

Theres a whole mainframe ecosystem of schedulers, databases, disk formats, batches, 3270 screens etc that are hard to replace piecemeal

Written by someone who stands to gain, but the argument is still good

One school that did this reported more face to face time. Unfortunately they used it to gamble on poker games, so I'm not sure it improved well-being

Make mutton great again

This is terrible. Taxis don't require fingerprints.

This drives up the cost of providing a service for a population that doesn't have much money to begin with. It is ostensibly safer, but that value has not been quantified. On the margin, it will encourage kids to take less safe forms of transit (e.g. drunk friend) due to higher costs and reduced availability.

Very rigid labor markets combined with high marginal tax rates and generous subsidies for the young. If you are ambitious, you channel your energies into non commerical things, emigrate, or quickly realize that making 2x what your friends make doesn't actually improve your quality of life

Tenants have more money, and there are more tenants who now qualify who might not have already saved up for a broker fee. I'm sure landlords have factored this in.

Tenants will have more cash each month. Tenants bid up rents to the point of affordability, and they'll become more affordable. Furthermore, there will be more would-be tenants b/c you don't need to save up a for a broker fee -- as long as your income is high enough, you can get a unit, at least in theory. So more competition....

Most people here don't realize that there are two different markets:

1) Free market apartments: with tenants not having to pay broker fees up front, LLs can and will come up with workarounds. E.g. 'move-in-fee' of 5k or a 'move-out' fee. They will be able to charge more, especially on renewal leases.

2) Rent regulated apartments: LLs can't play those games, but they can say 'only available if you hire such and such a broker', or they might only list the apartments on a website that operates on a subscription basis where they get a cut somehow. Or, at the margins, this is a significant cost for money-losing units, so they might just add those units to the list of units permanently off the market.

I do expect brokerage fees to decline somewhat, and this may affect pricing for streeteasy and zillow and the other advertising portals, but this is not going to be a huge change, and is going to hurt a bunch of low-income tenants.

We keep on creating ways for people to sue the state for their own private gain and deplete the public Treasury

Sleeping children vs voice controls...

I had to watch a video about this issue 20 years ago. If the company can't trust you with small amounts of money, they can't trust you at all. I've seen people forfeit bonuses over smaller infractions- the lesson is don't steal small amounts of money

Plaintiff is a lawyer. She's been using the service for close to a decade. Uber matched her with a guy who ran a red light. The only reason they are fighting this is because Uber has $$$$$. The drivers auto insurance should be sufficient

The issue with these "discrimination" lawsuits is that fee shifting provisions mean that if you lose, you pay their lawyers, but if you win you get nothing. So lawyers file these cases and ask for 90 pct of what it would cost you to bring the case to trial, and then spend infinite amounts of time and effort on discovery. It is legalized extortion

Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger seem like good counterexamples.

So sad. I'd wanted to get a signed picture of him for my bathroom, as shorting SCO paid for it, but I guess that won't happen now

Paywalled

I think the title should say underwater

Both sides breed like rabbits in a territory that they believe God wants them to occupy. In biblical times, the winners killed the men and sold the women and children of the losers into slavery. Why anyone thinks this will turn out differently despite high minded laws escapes me
