That’s what’s being discussed though… Dedicated hr teams, people ops, whatever other structure. The basic hr
tasks still need to be done but how is what is being discussed.
It absolutely is a bad thing. That's why so much effort goes into designing and manufacturing rockets correctly. So the tests go well and you can move onto actual launches. Using that as a metaphor for canary builds displays a lack of knowledge in just multiple areas lol.
That's because after you've learned to drive, everything the feet do is muscle memory. You don't consciously adjust the pressure (you just believe you do..), so switching around the pedals will need re-learning. And indeed it's common among rally cross drivers to learn to use the left foot with the brake pedal as well.
I do this once or twice a year in a borrowed/hired auto car.
Usually about 10 minutes into the drive when I've got used to it, and started to drive more naturally.
Approach junction, throttle back, stamp full uncoordinate force of left foot on to 'clutch' pedal, send passengers through the windscreen.
Yeah it’s a big contrast, I guess that’s why I mentioned it. I forgot it would be easier to learn with an automatic, or at least the difference wouldn’t be so obvious with it.
Pretty sure there are plenty of houses sitting empty or as holiday rentals. Second homes, airbnbs, etc. Those could be simply banned or highly taxed and the shuffling of ownership would happen naturally.
That's an argument about land usage and not land ownership. There are plenty of short term rentals run by individuals, and if you banned corporate ownership of short term rentals and kept the other incentives the same, more individuals would just play in that space.
The other problem is this, if you banned short term rentals _entirely_, which NYC basically did, you have not changed the fundamental supply vs demand structure. You still have X people who want units and Y units. Rents did not go down _at all_. House prices did not go down _at all_. The primary change was that hotel prices went up because of lack of competition.
By banning short term rentals of residential properties, you move short term rental demand from residential to commercial market. Which does change the supply and demand for each market.
Seems like for NYC, it worked as expected with the increasing hotel prices. And didn’t work as expected for rentals. The next step now would be to ask why it didn’t work as expected for rentals while it worked as expected for hotels, not just concluding that the ban wouldn’t work.
I know there is data that if you compare short term rentals to houses on sale, the rentals are a very large percentage, like more than 30%, in big cities. More than enough to significantly influence house prices (to be higher). Which is why short term rentals and vacation properties should be relegated to commercial properties only.
Put a few mile ring around any city center and yes the land there is scarce. You would not want one or a small number of individuals buying up all or a lot of that land because other people want to live there too. Therefore do exponential taxation based on land they already own. Why is this confusing to you?
There are a large number of properties in big cities sitting empty due to people hoarding land/houses. Too much is anything more than your primary residence. It should be taxed exponentially with both number of secondary residences and size normalized to urban development around the property.
Vacation homes are an example of hoarding and should be taxed exponentially. Barcelona, for example, has already banned short term rentals starting 2029, and so has my home town, so there are at least some people in power who think like me, and I hope there will be many many more people with my mindset.
I mean, you can call it hoarding if you like, but that's not a very widely held opinion.
Spain is one of the last places on Earth I'd look to for economic policies. Enjoy your even higher unemployment and additional dying towns after attacking your only notable industry (tourism) I suppose.
There's plenty of housing available in places with no jobs, so mission accomplished in one sense!
Hoarding of housing affects normal people’s lives worse than some economic theory that’s we can see failing in real time. People’s lives are more important than theoretical economic prosperity.
There’s also electroacupuncture, which is gaining popularity in physical therapy clinics in the US.
> Like traditional acupuncture, electroacupuncture uses needles placed in the same spots. Then, a small electrode is attached to the needles. A small amount of electricity runs through the electrode and gives a slight vibration or soft hum during treatment. (1)
Since they use the same spots as traditional acupuncture even now, I would think traditional acupuncture does work to some degree.
I read a paper that basically said that the spot itself didn't matter so much, that part was voodoo, but the needling produced a response from your body that helped.
I did a course of dry needling for tendon inflammation. It's basically just poking tendons with needles. It's an accepted treatment and it works, but the spots don't matter at all (as long as they are in the same area).
It's just relying on poking stuff with needles to improve the blood flow.
Um, the spots do seem to have some importance - there's little point jabbing your left temple if, as you say, the aim is to improve the blood flow to your ankles
