I'm afraid I don't understand this logic. Their own logic seems to be - the rent covers all utilities (they have assumed a certain cost for utility based on some logic that assumes the tenant not being at home majority of the time

How is Comcast a poor example? It is a major internet service provider in the Bay Area and in some places is the only one available. For better or for worse, you have to go with what is available in your area.

Some Internet providers have different rates for different capacities/bandwidth. Last time I used COMCAST, their wizard walked you through different use-cases and you got different packages based on the type of stuff you said you used

The point I think the landlords are trying to make is that if you spend majority of your time at home, they assume (expect) the utilities to be higher. Keep in mind this is a 1 bedroom ADA and so they’re probably targeting a specific type o

Context matters... According to the article, the lease (rental rate) includes fully paid utilities and internet. The landlords are then saying - if you're going to work from home full time, we'll raise the rate by $200. One can di

I think the 2 laptops you mentioned are targeting different markets. The Surface Laptop you linked to is - 16GB of RAM and 512GB of Storage (no 8GB of RAM option) The $599 Mac Neo is 8GB of RAM and 256GB of Storage. It doesn't have a 1

It isn't just the backup codes. More than once, I was in a different country and tried logging into a workspace gmail account. Google flags it as a strange activity (fair enough) and needs to authenticate me. It asks me to enter the co

….every ERP sales process includes an you can customize the edge cases… This isn’t what you think. First, large ERP vendors will repeat the mantra that you shouldn’t customize and that they don’t advise it. At best, implementation consulta

I don’t agree with this. Yes, there are times when processes/procedures are truly unique to a firm but it usually isn’t and the firm can ‘standardize’ their process so that it fits into the ERP flow. These ERPs are usually shipped to h

People love to blame Oracle or SAP for every botched rollout without actually looking at who is responsible. If you used consultants for the implementation, how is a botched rollout the ERP vendors fault? This article says …… The council in

Not ERPs. Customizing ERPs is where consulting firms make money but the ERP vendors themselves advise against this because it becomes expensive maintaining the customizations as new versions of the software and more features are released.

This mindset is also part of the reason why some products are atrociously bad. Developers build products with the latest tech, whizzes, bells and whistles and totally miss the 'actual' requirements and/or how their users use

These varied schedules won't work in every situation. Sometimes, people need to meet (even if virtually) or they need answers to questions and situations where people's schedules aren't kind of synced becomes problematic.
