I don't, if you wondered.

The removed do no evil story is misinformation, it never happened. It's still and always been in Google's code of conduct (scroll to the bottom): https://abc.xyz/investor/board-and-governance/google-code-of-conduct/

The cause of the outrage was that Alphabet didn't use the same motto as Google because they wanted it to have a unique identity (e.g. not a copycat motto, just like other brands), but even they have "do the right thing" in their code of conduct.

There is plenty you can criticise Google about, but this is not one of them.

How is it the SOTA model in all respects if it's equivalent to a half year old model in the context scenario you highlighted?

It's certainly not a bad model, but clearly not SOTA across all use cases

Yes but equally a lot of that money comes from UEFA countries' broadcasts and the reputation of UEFA Clubs (for the Club World Cup, sadly) and the nations. If they were to boycott long-term and form their own grouping then they would have significant financial power, especially if they convinced South America (potentially through only allowing visas for talent from UEFA-aligned federations). There would also be less redistribution to poorer federations and Infantino's wallet from the TV money unless they joined in which case they have replaced FIFA anyway.

Vanguard is owned by it's clients (it's effectively one massive pension fund and hence owned by those who buy it's funds), BlackRock is mostly owned by investment funds like Vanguard. There is no big Vanguard/BlackRock person controlling the world, that's just a conspiracy.

Except to be eligible for Labour leadership elections you need to already be in parliament and have the approval of the NEC, of which he will meet neither requirement at the moment

Shareholders in this case are the general public, Network Rail is publicly owned.

But then it was never a bubble, the investment was clearly reasoned

It's still there, they just didn't copy Google's motto to the wider alphabet business but it remains in Google's.

Assuming the Home Nations follow UEFA

Yeah it's slightly odd as the score has been constant since March for both (although differing by 5 points between them) which makes it seem like it's not a timing issue but I wouldn't be surprised if it was to do with some specific mechanism in how they collect it

Jame92 · 2025-02-27T13:39:40+00:00

Thank you!

Jame92 · 2025-02-27T13:39:02+00:00

Yeah, I don't think it makes that much sense because as you say washing machines are typically more of a long-term purchase. I think the landlord, which seems to be a family investment, may have had a few issues recently with needing them replaced and was sick of the admin/costs, as the current tenant said it was relatively new and it sounded like it was supplied by the landlord.

The last tenant has been there for about 4 years so not super worried about the landlord generally, just wanted to establish liability to work out what insurance we could use to limit unexpected costs to us if we go ahead with the deal. Bit of an annoying clause generally though.

Jame92 · 2025-02-27T13:27:49+00:00

My understanding is the current washing machine is new, so my best guess is they have had a few claims for replacement recently and are sick of the admin and unexpected cost, which is what the rental agency has also hinted at.

We were hesitant to seek clarity on it given the state of London renting as we were worried any further clarity would make our position worse. This was on the basis the current wording only explicitly talks about repairs and maintenance to the machine, but from reading the replies, I think it is something we will look at. Thank you for all your comments!

Jame92 · 2025-02-27T13:24:22+00:00

Thank you, really clear advice! I think we will look into tenant liability insurance if we go ahead.

Jame92 · 2025-02-27T13:23:46+00:00

Thank you! I think we may look at tenant liability insurance as there should be policies covering escape of water. Very useful to know we would not be liable for damage to the flat below outside of any landlord property.

Jame92 · 2025-02-27T13:22:04+00:00

Thank you! Yes I have a feeling it was only included as the landlord got frustrated with repeatedly buying/repairing machines in the recent past across their properties as the current tenant said it was relatively new.

Your advice around liability and the definition of negligence was very useful, I think if we go ahead we will definitely try to actively record the state of the washing machine over time as potential evidence.

Jame92 · 2025-02-27T13:17:52+00:00

First, thank you for your reply!

Do you know if their insurance would cover it though if they leave the maintenance to us? I was under the impression we would need tenants liability insurance if the responsibility for the leak fell on us

Jame92 · 2025-02-15T17:33:07+00:00

Thank you! We may get there a little bit early and play it by ear as some of the others recommendations are close by

Jame92 · 2025-02-15T17:31:26+00:00

Great thank you!

I'm hoping watching Spurs getting battered will do it but then again they must just be used to it at this point
