  1. Growth in this case can also be growth of valuation. Or maybe that is in general the goal. Get the market cap or nominal valuation to go up.

    Some money is lost to push up this valuation or valuation based on some future sales, or market share or anything...

  2. And it is not like making a copy for cheaper isn't something that requires skill and innovation. Or then iterate on that copy. Didn't Roomba just fail to these copies. If west was truly so much more innovative and better shouldn't they as company be infinitely ahead still?
  3. I would guess that 3 part code review would actually be most effective. Likely even save on costs. First part is walkthrough on call, next independent review and comments. Then per need an other call over fixes or discussion.

    Probably spend more time on it, but would share the understanding and alignment.

  4. Easy solution is to apply same rent controls to all units. That is everything has limited rent rises.

    And this is not unreasonable. If math originally works out, then it will continue to work out. System really should not rely on property price appreciation or arbitrary rent bumps.

  5. Significant economic turmoil. Either from private debt or AI finally deflating. Probably due to enough data center projects that won't materialize due to funding getting cut.
  6. Or more so that bureaucracy involved is extremely annoying. Consisting tracking of making enough applications even if there is no relevant positions, possibly making to apply to some irrelevant position. Or just various courses and other stuff like CV workshops that mostly seem like waste of times. Fail any of these and you might end up lowered or no money...
  7. I think words that would follow from me would get me send to HR...

    And if it was repeated... Well I would probably get fired...

  8. I have been reading cookbook from 1767. And mostly you get ingredients and probably not all of them. And sometimes you get amounts. And useful instructions like boil so many times... I have understood that with those really old recipes, the person recording them might at best have been in the same room. But probably was not a chef.
  9. I have my own take that painting as art peaked long ago. And now we are mostly at similar level to that in middle-ages...

    Paintings used to be better, and before that they were worse.

  10. There is 12 months in a year. So that can be covered in 12 days... So even half a month would be more... Seems broken...

    I have nothing against short or medium term rentals. If they are limited percentage of housing as total. This percentage is rather low.

  11. Everyone but current holders of property and loans. Lower property values are good thing. As that means lower rents, meaning lower overheads. Leading to cheaper goods and services for everyone. Overall property values closer to reality is good for everyone including current owners.
  12. Or we would live in unregulated slums...

    Not that whole sector isn't over financialised.

  13. Counter party is either stupid, careless, on it or forced. I think often there is intermediaries involved. Say real estate investment fund. For which on paper in short term numbers looking good is enough. And in past environment as long as there was enough money coming in the ponzi could continue to run.

    And other parties further can be say pension funds, which on paper are forced to search for anything that make their goals look good enough. Thus not doing enough due diligence.

    Everything is fine until it is not. And this has been seen time after time.

  14. Salesmen are absolutely perfect example. They quite often have even greater incentives as they can directly financially benefit. So selling products that are not needed, that are over priced or entirely misrepresented is extremely common.
  15. I am starting to find it funny. Even if it is sad... Well thankfully Finnish has term for this surkuhupaisa...
  16. Fines should be percentage of stock price. Applied to the owners of stock. Next time there is dividend or stock is transacted fine is collected. Still limits the liability to price of stock, but fully incentives stock owners to make sure the leadership will do their best to avoid fines.
  17. I am not a hiring manager. But if there is more supply of non-junior workers. Doesn't it make sense to actually hire those if compensation might even be lower than before? You hire juniors to support them, or because experienced devs are too expensive or there simply aren't enough of them. If there are enough of them on market for more reasonable price wouldn't actually choosing from that cohort make more sense?
  18. As Finn I would agree. Finland is fine. Not the greatest and not happiest. But overall it is fine still. In most areas cost of living is pretty reasonable, services are sufficient. Police for example does good enough job. Probably could earn more money somewhere else, but why bother...
  19. From outside massive wealth extraction and exploitation of less powerful countries. Worked long enough, but cracks are starting to appear.
  20. Yeah, here they are used for AC in apartments. Unless for some weird reason they are electric heating... And even then for some reason we do not like them visible so they need to be hidden on balconies and like.
