I switched because iPhone is the smallest medium end phone.
Nothing new from them, but for a modnrange phone it was the best option to go with an older iPhone.

Attached to: Fixing Retail With Land Value Capture
I'm in the greater Philadelphia area and it is not uncommon for ground floor retail and restaurant space to be ultra low rent if the building owner thinks it makes the area hipper.
The owner extracts the value in $150/unit extra for the ten floors above.

Is that true?
I know they agree on a purely economic context, but there's definitely value to notnhqving an antagonist in control of key products.

Would under seige be language more to your liking?
They didn't have free import or export ability, so it definitely feels like a seige.

They require a credit card which eliminates the unbanked.
That should handle eliminating most homeless and people near homelessness due to drugs.
I do imagine that drug users not on the edge of homelessness will use them as a place to shoot up and get back to where they were, but I'm not sure how that negatively impacts anyone.

Is it?
I saw a comment from a random person suggesting the fee. Nothing from a tech bro.

Get the new address and then filter the old one straight to trash.

Presumably it won't use the "on behalf of" header or whatever it is (original sender maybe) for who it's from.

It's a very old codebase.
They probably are retired.
But MS was all about using undocumented shot for the purpose of stating ahead of their competition that was stuck with documented features.

In the US with our 110v/1200w appliances the smaller size is more relevant than Europe with its higher voltage/wattage on a typical circuit.
This impacts all countertop appliances in the US, our deep fryers are very small or don't really hole heat when being used for example.

Are you saying internet/tech stocks weren't a bubble in 1999/2000 because they were the way of the future?

I get most of those warnings opening Excel files from a corporate virtual machine that delivers our reporting. I doubt I'm the only person that has to do this.
The warnings are so omnipresent I imagine it's super easy to social engineer around them. Probably just tell people there's celebrity boobies to be seen or something.

That seems like a terrible take.
Maybe I'm cool with losing everything and getting a check, but someone else value great grandma's doll collection as priceless.
A flood has a different cost for different people and it doesn't seem to me it's completely offset by insurance.
That's assuming the insurance companies choose to and are allowed to price by each lot based on flood data.
The assumption that municiolalities are choosing economically optimal mitigation seems sus to me too.
