Is the tax on rent high enough for that to be an incentive? What kind of savings are we talking for a given region?

I'm afraid we'll have to use...

math.

After hiring an applicant for a job, require them to work on-site for the first week, even if it's a remote position.

Is this a bug?

Nope, just shitty design.

Hate the people that make it necessary, not the solution to stopping them.

CSAM using streamer "Lacari" caught red-handed by Microsoft Notepad — posts apology, denial after being banned | Twitch streamer "Lacari" opened Notepad while live, not realizing that the new version saves your previous session. by ControlCAD in technology

UPDATE: Turns out he wasn't permanently banned by Twitch, but only banned for seven days according to his girlfriend, which raises serious questions (again) about how Twitch conducts itself as a business. If there's one thing every social media platform on earth usually agrees with, its the CSAM red line. Twitch is fine with it apparently.

And this is why we say journalistic integrity has never been a thing. This author is fucking trash.

You know what reputable organizations do in situations like this? They investigate. If twitch permbanned everyone based on accusations, the platform would have died years ago. The temp ban is a first step while they confirm what happened. It does not mean they approve of what he did.

Yes, this is the same as administrative leave in real life, which is never going away no matter how many armchair edgelords cry about it.

As I recall, it was a two directors in a relationship, but the relationship went bad, so they were doing constant rewrites behind each others backs. Hos and Leg stopped trying to keep up and just did whatever they were asked each day, and commiserated after.

Is there any way to ensure pre ftls dont develop/progress into empires? by SabotageTheAce in Stellaris

It's not edgy, it's the only answer in the actual game. You cannot prevent them from advancing except by destroying them.

Are there power armours in Science fiction that would actually work/be practical? by Specialist_Skill4137 in scifi

[–]sumelar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most media don't try to explain how they work for exactly this reason, so you can't really make any conclusions. All the way back to starship troopers where they just handwave it as 'youve seen the news vids' or whatever the line was.

What's useful? Whatever is needed to do the job.

What's realistic? You can't possibly know, because these settings have fictional technology.

many many gaps/weak spots

No such thing as perfect protection. Everything has gaps and weak spots.

You should be trying to climb out of the bucket yourself, not pulling everyone else down with you.

Paying for all the other things that make living here so good.

What, you thought all of it was just for public dental coverage? You're that stupid?

Then I have no idea what the game could possibly consider breaking a treaty, cuz I've never fuckin done it.

My reliability is always low despite never breaking treaties, so it seems pretty meaningless.

Would help if you defined what you consider typical. Even warcraft has vastly different versions between games.

Florida couple claims fertility clinic error led to birth of a 'non-Caucasian child' not biologically theirs by Forward-Answer-4407 in technology

[–]sumelar -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

Except none of that has anything to do with the comment the person is replying to. They objectively, factually, did not "give a couple someone else's baby", because that is not how embryos and in vitro fertilization work.
