if you die outside your car because you can't think to break a window, that's just Darwin at work.

What do they think is the difference between a physical book library and a digital lending library?

or did the book publishers just make a lot of "charitable donations" and "campaign contributions" to tip the scales in their favor?

Nvidia is therefore a bubble. This article is complaining that Europe is an obstacle to further bubble inflation.
No amount of Nvidia etching IP onto wafers is worthy of a 4.6 TRILLION market cap - bigger than the 4.2 Trillion market cap of the ENTIRE name-brand pharmaceutical industry.

Someone starts in his garage with an online marketplace for models and takes over the world, or in the top 10 marketcap companies in the world. Just like pets.com got swallowed up and we now order dogfood with Amazon prime.

Mass migration.... if you take out immigration, the USA population is in a big decline. Declining birth rate and increasing emigration.
If you include immigration, it's sitting around 0.12% and projected to go negative soon.

Murder is wrong.
Like stopping someones cancer treatment because you want to extract more profit from the cancer clinic.

It's only a matter of time until a wave of wrongful death lawsuits come their way.

Maybe people want to work somewhere that isn't a random startup in an immature industry, where most of them won't exist in 6 months time.
As soon as these startups fail a round of funding, they're gone. If they're "successful" they get bought out and all the employees either get fired, or have to sign new contracts. Goodbye $500k salary, I hope you had a large stock option.

Such low pay, $490,000 and $500,000

Maybe someone should force the sale of your internet connected devices. Or are you using you mother's internet, from her basement?

You apply to the tenancy tribunal. They can impose a court enforceable repayment order, allow an early termination of the tenancy and also award any bond held to cover missed rent payments.

It's in the tenants best interest to not get taken to the tribunal. They'll find it very hard to rent somewhere else if they have a judgement against them, as most pre-tenancy checks will check for that.

I've had one tenant stop paying their rent as soon as they gave notice to leave. There wasn't enough bond to cover the notice period, so I had to accept a payment order of $10 a week.

I've been a landlord and a tenant. I support the protections New Zealand gives to both landlords and tenants. It very much favours tenants.

Scouring someones bank statements is not a way to prove they can pay rent.

I've had unemployed tenants. The Government paid their rent on time every week.

Wow.

You should wait a few days, then come back and read what you've been writing. Then maybe seek help or reevaluate your life choices.

If you spend all your spare money on booze, how does that impact your rent payments?
How is a random landlord qualified to assess the behaviour of a person from a few lines on a bank statement? I didn't know we had to study behavioural psychology.

The majority of people don't care what operating system an appliance runs, just that it does what it says on the box.
It's a $40 device. If it lasts a few years, most people will just buy a new one if something goes wrong with it.
There's people out there who spend more on an HDMI cable than the cost of this HDMI device.

Which victims?
The ones you can't really identify, because of the pseudonymity of bitcoin?
If they traced it back through the block chain, how do they know if the wallet belongs to a legitimate victim, or one of the scammers? Or if they've gone back too far?

If a landlord asked me to supply a bank statement, it means I've already been selected and they're doing their due diligence.
If they turn around and say no, I can go to the tribunal and say "they said no because they saw a political donation on my bank statement"

Your example of spending habits is specifically outlined as something a landlord has no business knowing.
