I don't think you understand. I am in fact legally obligated to report any such attempts to my employer. I am in fact legally prohibited from providing my credentials to a prospective landlord. I could in fact be fined a whole lot of money and terminated and possibly even subjected to additional legal proceedings if I were to do so. There is no changing my life involved here. This is my life right now..

No, he didn't. Bureaucracy is orthogonal to capitalism, it's not an opposite. Capitalism means only one thing, capital controls the means of production. Anything else is specific to some specific form of capitalism (or some other ism) and not relevant to whether it is capitalism or not.

Capitalism tends to produce bureaucracies in order to track capital, so the two generally go hand in hand.

I see nobody's modding your comments. Guess what? Literally nobody cares about your opinions.

If you have nowhere else to live, and you're living there, yes it is.

If you're making your living by taking advantage of someone else's need for housing, you're adding nothing to society. You are, in fact, a parasite.

hahahahahahhahahahaha

They do the way they do it.

I don't know how many rental applications you've filled out, but they absolutely will request your SSN for the credit check, and absolutely will deny you if you don't provide it. There is a chance of mistaken identity if you do not provide SSN or a CC #, which you also do not want to provide and which they mostly won't accept instead of a SSN anyway.

It would be the same as mine, no doubt: Laughter.

As a company, Oracle is shit. As a product, Oracle is also pretty crappy in a lot of ways, but it's a functionality and performance leader, and no AI-written RDBMS is going to challenge it in any department period.

U-turns are usually legal in residential zones, and illegal elsewhere. I don't know about where you are though.

All that expensive stuff is locked up in SF.

Or ... issue the citation to the passenger who called the ride, and let him negotiation reimbursement for the fine and insurance costs with Waymo. I guarantee Waymo would fix the bug or perhaps even *ask* to be regulated rather than rely on this loophole.

Why burden the taxpayer with finding a solution to the consequences of early adopting a new technology? If you *choose* to summon a robotaxi, then you're responsble for the consequences of that choice. If you don't like it, then demand the company sort those out before you use them.

This is so unnecessary, I wonder whether this is some kind of social engineering operation being sold as a "service" to landlords.

Your too many is my not enough. Of course it should require a lengthy court process to remove a person from their housing.

They're going to have your SSN anyway, because they're going to demand a credit check. Virtually all landlords require this now.

On the other hand, as you say, I cannot give those credentials to anyone else without being terminated, and other possible penalties. It would also be illegal for them to access those systems even if I gave them the credentials for multiple reasons, not least simple unauthorized access of a whole bunch of computing devices.

What I would tell the would-be landlord when denying their request: "I am required by law to report your criminal attempt to access my employer's systems" because I am in fact under such a legal obligation. They might well even get a visit from the tax cops for it, because our systems contain PII, PHI, and FTI.

Further proof that capitalism is not meritocratic, as if any more was required.

You were confused by "left", you didn't even get to "far".

The "far left" wants everyone's needs to be met. The "far right" wants to murder everyone who doesn't look like them.

You don't know what left or right mean, or what far means. Therefore it is a waste of time to try to have a conversation with you. The best that can be done with your nonsense is to attach disclaimers about your mental incompetence.

The patent office gets paid when someone files for a patent. They get paid when someone gets granted a patent. They get paid when someone does the research to challenge a patent. They get paid when someone challenges a patent. Etc etc. The whole system is set up to incentivize granting as many patents as possible because that produces revenues, and not to do meaningful review first because that costs money.

You cannot just have it on a stand unless you are a farm, or it's very small. It needs to have a reservoir to catch spills. It's also not cost effective if it's small.
