No. Urban environments suck to walk around. What you wrote is utter drivel. If one needs to justify it by quoting authors, that suggests it isn't self evident and they are just trying to justify something that they know…
If they charged far more than the market average in a given area then people wouldn't rent from them. Even if they bought up the entire area, people would presumably move to cheaper areas where they weren't jacking up…

That doesn't make it an invasion. It was a capture/extraction operation. Was it a large scale one, sure. But it was not an invasion.
I think a lot of people mean "Wedding DJ" or "Radio DJ". However there is a whole small subculture around this. A friend would go hunting for records to sample in Charity shops for old vinyls (this was pre-ebay). This…
Most distros have a way of installing proprietary software via enabling additional repos after install.
Or you could get one with a better service history, the paint job and interior is in better condition, and it has the optional extras and a recent cam belt change for $12,000. It depends whether you think the extra cost…

His rationale ignores all the legitimate and harmless use cases for AI. I've seen people make with the help of AI comedy/meme/comedy music videos and put them up on YouTube. Making a hyperbolic statements stating that…
I've been on similar projects where the client is paying through the nose to a consultancy. I was being paid about £500 a day for my time, but I am sure they were charging the client much more.
It is a constant source of confusion. I see it constantly discussed in various freelancer whats-app and freelance groups. I used to get contracts checked to see if they were Outside IR-35 and I knew I wasn't the only…
You can still build web apps using more basic technologies like PHP, MySQL/Postgres, and just using vanilla JS. One of the most frustrating things in my career is how over-engineered everything has become in the last 15…
I never had any issue asking for a 5 figure sum. It was always the small payments I had to chase. I won't do small work as a result because it is barely worth the effort.

You are deflecting from the original point, while saying nothing. It simply doesn't work for a lot of people and never will and you were trying to pretend these are niche things when they are not. People generally don't…
The lag is high. Google was doing this with stadia. A huge amount of money comes from online multiplayer games and almost all of them require minimal latency to play well. So I doubt EA, Microsoft, Activision is going…
Right. So you didn't watch it and instead cherry picked the comments. You missed a key thing in the video. It isn't really any cheaper using public transport. BTW my experience was roughly the same as in the video but…
