If someone has "elite science and engineering" ability and came from a background where they were raised by a family with a household wealth of $5, and someone has a slightly more "elite science and engineering" ability…
I thought you meant 800 across the categories.
> By the time of the ACT/SAT test it's too late to fix those things. Fix those upstream. Based on?? If someone is smart, but denied opportunity, often times this can be resolved by exposure to things - even for an 18…
I don't know what "800 minus noise" means. All 800s is something only about 500 people achieve a year, and not all of them are going to MIT.
But there are a number of studies demonstrating how race & class impact things (when controlled for other factors) like teacher perception, grading, letters of recommendation, not to mention just the fact that if you…
> Harvard considers roughly 4 in 5 applicants to be academically capable of doing the work at Harvard I have no doubt that this is true of Harvard. I mean, after all, you can pick your own classes! That said, I think…
But shouldn't starting points be taken into consideration when you are judging someone's merit?
> I'd expect that most students who will be able to survive at MIT can make the SAT threshold with no gaming of the test and no test prep other than maybe doing one or two free sample tests. Eh, not so sure. The…
The SAT doesn't testing anything as high level as that.
The deficit is not printing money, because the money is borrowed.
> Any multi-family older than 15 years falls under rent control and eviction control. Considering how little housing is built in CA, that's a huge number of housing units. Nope, only if it is owned by a corporation.…
Wait, but they do point out the law requires them. And as you said, > Pointing out that a law is requiring them to do something is the least anybody can do if they object to that law's requirements Generally, I prefer…
Are you still not following that this "omission" is something you've entirely made up in your own mind by selectively copying one quote from an entire article?
Doesn't matter if they have missed rent, they still need 30 days notice. These laws exist for a reason, they weren't created to address a problem that didn't exist at the time.
You're comparing a quote from an article clearly being written in the context of this Australian law to the actual quote from Google's implementation of DMCa law. There is nothing in your quote indicating they are…
It only applies to homes owned by a corporation, you are incorrect that most properties are not exempt.
It's discussed on other parts of the thread. Also, I was assuming that this was not an owner-occupied duplex. It falls to state law if it is.
I didn't understand the GP to mean they were occupying the duplex. But in that context, it still violates california fair housing law.
Yes, you're correct.
> But there are areas (e.g. San Francisco) where getting a non-paying tenant out is close enough to impossible that it might as well be. You absolutely can evict people in SF, unless you are discussing the recent…
I think the large majority of units in CA are not covered by any sort of just cause eviction law. This law has several very large exemptions.
> In a tenant protection environment, landlords cannot just decline to renew leases. Unless we're talking about some rent controlled context, where in the US is this law?
Civil Rights Act of 1968, Unruh Civil Rights Act, ... there are a few other California specific legal statutes around civil rights/housing discrimination.
If you want to control who lives next to you, feel free to buy the neighboring properties.
> Why aren't landlords able to do this? Isn't it seen as immoral to steal property from an owner? Well, for one, the government should enforce contract neutrally - so if you sign a contract leasing your property, you…
