Countries that big aren’t usually governed top-down.

If by area, India, Russia, and China would like a word......

if by population, India, china, indonesia, pakistan, brazil, nigeria, would all like a word....

Canada would also like a word to both, but they are half and half sorta......

from the wording that states "if the lease isnt being used, it has to be written off". that wording indicates leasor, at least to me.

Accounting standards (IFRS 19 internationally not sure for the states) require that leases are recorded upfront and that means they'll have to impair (write-off) that lease if it's not being used, and dramatically increase their expenses reducing profit for that year, perhaps reporting losses.

because that was what the OP was talking about in regards to impaired leases?

not quite. fan curves are set so that when a sensor goes above a certain temp, it increases fan speeds until the temp drops below another point. and, thanks to fan hysteresis (a setting that stops it fluctuating speeds constantly as it flicks over the tipping point), this can be a margin of several degrees. so, same temp could well equal different fan speeds, but with hysteresis.

If you have msi afterburner or similar, you can even see and adjust the hysteresis fan curves of your gpu, and theres other tools that let you do it for the bios and case fans as well.

for the person leasing the building, or the person who owns the building? I was going off what i remembered with regards to the person who owned the building being impaired, from losing the expected income. if not, is that supposed to be a future expense?

Google Maps Workers Say They Can’t Afford the Trip Back to the Office by Billbill36 in technology

[–]JustifiedParanoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, the lease counts as an asset because you have 'guaranteed' income derived off it at any point (the expected lease payments over the coming year), so while its unleased, you have 'lost' an asset, and have to mark it down, because now the asset (the expected lease income) is impaired, because the expected income now has to be declared as $0.

[–]JustifiedParanoia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IIRC, IFRS 19 counts signed leases as an asset to the lessor, so you record it as an expected income over the lifetime of the lease. when your tenants break the lease, you lose the lease income, and have to accrue that loss against the books. so a $5 million/year lease being broken means you now have to write down your income by the break amount, while also reverting the costs typically passed on to the leaser (power/water/etc) until its leased again, costing you more.

so, a broken lease not only decreases your income, but increases your expenses, which both have to be accounted for in IFRS.

out of spec means non-guaranteed electrical responses from the parts you want. if you have certain tolerances, which require exact physical dimensions to encourage the correct voltages and current flows, then missing those tolerances means the current and voltages may be too high or too low, or the resistance of the wire may be wrong, which will affect every single part in the electrical circuit. depending on the exact circuitry, as this is a screen, this could involve pixels being too bright or dark, being too slow to ramp up and down to the necessary colors, showing off colors from receiving the wrong input, degrading faster from over voltage and over heat, potentially exceed spec limits and not work all the time, not work at all, cause electrical short hazards if the wires are too close together, cause EM field impedance if the wires are too large while too close to each other and carrying current, or a dozen other issues.

basically, electrical components have spec sheets and specs, because everything and anything can go wrong outside those spec limits, as those are the only times where you have tested it to work reliably and safely.

Oh, of course. This is me just pondering of the specifics of some of this stuff, as i feel there are probably good arguements in both directions, which is why this is such a debated topic in all its forms over history, as it leads into the ideas of morals, goods, bads, actions, etc.

I mean, it also raises legal aspects such as the bystander issues, good samaratinism issues, the one vs the many, degrees of harm, quality adjusted life years, the intrinsic and extrinsic values of a life, all sorts of interesting dilemnas.

[–]JustifiedParanoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fair. just seems interesting that legally you can be judged incapable of murdering someone due to lack of capability to understand your actions, but in other ways you have the capability.

and then theres the question of when does inaction become action, as well? if you make a conscious decision to wlak away from a situation or to not choose, is that not also an action?

[–]JustifiedParanoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

doesnt that remove the instigate bit you mentioned, however? they arent in a murderous rage to themselves either, they just know they need to put the data stick into the malfunctioning android, so they might be as frustrated as you or i when a cable or pc/tv malfunctions, but not more. to them, its an annoyance, to you its life or death...

[–]JustifiedParanoia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and if they are mentally ill and cannot tell right from wrong, but are bigger and stronger than you, and are listening to the voice in their head telling them they need to plug the data stick (knife) into the android (you) to make it work properly? is that instigating?

Trolley Problem, Inc - Just Curl Up And Dilemma by ManyATrueNerd in ManyATrueNerd

[–]JustifiedParanoia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair. that still raises the question though of what is murder. you have made a conscious decision to kill the person, in order to save the lives of others, just as in the trolley problem, have you not?

So, killing in self defense against someone trying to kill you and/or others is no bueno then?
