How about making it compulsory to accept legal tender for events /races and other things? How many times do you sign up to run a race and are forced to purchase through vendors like "Event Dog" or other where paying cash is not even an option. And these companies always tack on up to 10$ "convenience fees" that are unavoidable. In places like Canada where currency is legal tender you can avoid these scummy vendors by paying the merchant cash directly
I think the sentiment is understandable if the terminology isn't precise. Don't charge fees for non-optional things. Especially don't charge a fee to pay the posted price.
I missed that this happened, that's great news. When I saw a few places get away with no longer accepting cash "for the convenience of our customers and the security of our staff," I figured that it was only a matter of time until everywhere else that wasn't doing light tax fraud followed suit.
Tangentially, I'm also pleasantly surprised how easy it still is to buy a physical MetroCard. My understanding a few years back was that contactless payment would be the default by now and if I wanted to buy a physical MetroCard, I'd no longer be able to do that at stations but I would instead need to go to "select retail partners" to do so.
As a guy who used to have to take a zipper bag full of cash to the office safe every night, the convenience of the customer part may be laughable but the safety of the staff part isn't. Offhand I can't think of a more effective way to bring back 1990s mugging culture.
There's a difference between the letter of the law and the word of the law. Having experienced both places I can say there is a difference in how things are run and regulated and if they call it legal tender or whatever it doesn't matter. As a customer it does matter because I end up paying the junk fees so please don't patronize me for saying it.
My county government got in bed with InvoiceCloud and prominently offers the payment option that includes a service fee when paying my property taxes. (The service fee for last half was ~$350.) It's still possible to pay via fee-less bank transfer for now, but the website says in the future I'll need to pay in person by check to avoid fees. This is instead of the original method of receiving paper property bills and sending a check in return.
The website was designed by contractors paid for by tax dollars unassociated with InvoiceCloud.
These are similar problems - billing and payment can be difficult problems due to the way the industry operates. But the trend towards making it more inconvenient (or in some cases, impossible) to pay by any other means that does not include a price gouging service fee is not adding value for consumers.
It uses dynamic tiling rather than static tiling meaning more versatility how specific desktops get arranged such as bsp, tree, or even custom arrangements
I thought Sway was based on i3, which is an arbitrary-width tree that can have different display modes per container node in the tree.
Hyperland's wiki only lists "Dwindle" and "Master" layouts, which from the description are strictly less versatile than i3 (and Sway?) in exchange for convenience if those layouts are what you want. Does it even have something as flexible as i3? (and Sway?)
I use the dwindle layout which is similar to bspwm in automatic splitting mode. One advantage is you can drag and drop windows into other nodes, which will be split appropriately, it's surprisingly neat when you have a lot of stuff open. It's easiest to get a feel for the differences by just trying it out or watching some videos of it on r/unixporn
I live in Gary and there are many factors that can factor into the economics here, mainly a single employer planning the entire city and that employer collapse. A house is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it
> A house is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it
Are you kidding? Its easily worth twice that. Wait until I show you the upgrades, new paint and wall to wall carpet. The bathroom's been renovated with new fixtures, and that is genuine imported Mexican tile. You'd be a fool to pass on this. Just think of the possibilities.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I find the hinge system bleak too. I've been on there a year and somewhat rarely get people to respond after a initial "match" let alone only managing to meet 2 people in real life. I say it is bleak for sure unless you're a swimsuit model
Yeah I have a friend who I think of as at least tier above me looks-wise and she said she didn’t get any matches at all… so I dunno. (She didn’t clarify… it may have been she didn’t get any matches that she would consider)
Hinge has been sucked up into the Match.com umbrella. I haven't used it lately, but I wouldn't expect it to hold up to its past success stories anymore.
I actively use the XPS 13 from 2015 as my daily driver. I never had any issues besides a buggy broadcom wifi module that I recently swapped out for Intel which fixed all my issues. I can say I certainly got my money's worth & more from my machine!
Twitter also completely blocked its static HTML site a few years ago. They insist that we enable JS to view plain-text content that I can directly view on the blog without JS.
You can still buy datacenter edition, and some of us are forced to do so, if we wish to continue to use Jira and Confluence. For us it's not a problem, we're heavily invested in the Atlassian suite of product, and sell consulting, so we get a significant discount. For some of our clients it's a massive problem, as Atlassian cannot promise them that data won't leave the country, if fact it's certain that it will, because there's no AWS datacenter within our borders.
Atlassian completely ignored the large number of smaller customers who are legally forced to use an on-premise solution. If the software industry was so hell-bent on SaaS there would be a great business oppotunity in creating an on-premise Jira competitor.
It is not a "contact us" pricing plan. The Data Center prices are publicly available on their website. It is more than twice as expensive as the Server offering, but still substantially cheaper than Cloud for the same number of users.
And it is the exact same software as Server with some extras enabled like support for multiple nodes, so upgrading to it is as simple as pasting in a new product key.
