What exactly am I supposed to do when another user is stalking me besides tell them off? How am I using multiple accounts abusively? I’ve been using them to make substantive comments when prevented from doing so by ratelimits, which is some

It’s not a quote when it’s a counteroffer in a negotiation.

This is absolutely illegal and you can get your passport back within a day or two by just calling MOHRE. A decade ago this stuff may have been more common, but the government has cracked down heavily to the point that it doesn’t exist any m

Restaurants, flight connections, quality of services, friendly tax regime. Restaurants obviously being the most important metric. Sure, it’ll lose out to London, Paris, Barcelona, New York, Los Angeles, … But it won’t lose out to cities lik

It’s nice for a week or two, but gets boring pretty fast. You can only eat at L’Atelier so many times. But it’s surely better than almost every other city in the world.

That only makes sense if you totally ignore the context. In context it was clearly a counteroffer.

This particular tweet would be a fairly peculiar one to post on a hacked account. It’s really surprising that his account would get banned for it in the first place. > avoid the potential Streisand effect when the truth gets discovered

Not really. If you weren’t a prolific HN commenter this would be the top comment here. Right now you’re making an extraordinary claim with zero evidence. Pointing this out isn’t “out of line”. E: As it turns out, not only was I not out of l

Your example is completely irrelevant, nobody asked for a quote here. Jump made an offer and received a counteroffer. A counteroffer is not a quote.

“How much is that?” is strictly different from “I will pay you $2500 for this”. First isn’t an offer, nor is it a negotiation.

by rosndo 4y ago
That’s completely different though, none of those scenarios are even vaguely similar to what happened here. I think the fact that you have to engage in such mental gymnastics to try and make your point is pretty telling.

No, you’re playing with words here. Replace your first sentence with “will you buy this car from me for $10000” and that seems like a pretty clear verbal contract. Of course verbal contracts are tricky, but this particular case was in writi

by rosndo 4y ago
I make an offer (in writing), you make a counteroffer (in writing), I accept your counteroffer (in writing). Seems like a contract to me.

How was it a clear joke?

by rosndo 4y ago
Both the paper and the signature are utterly irrelevant. You can certainly enter a contract over email, it’s not irregular.

by rosndo 4y ago
So you don’t actually know?

by rosndo 4y ago
Akin to “jokingly” signing a regular paper contract, no?

Yeah, why not?

But was he not accepting the deal on his part by offering it in the first place?

Huge difference, a mls listing is one sided so there’s clearly no meeting of the minds. A written negotiation about the purchase price is completely different. B: Hey, I’ll buy this from you for $2500 S: No, sorry. But I’ll take $50000 B: D

Why would an email not be an agreement?
