That is a related but in this case irrelevant issue. Those ordinances forbid serving food on public property. They do not forbid giving it to a shelter, serving it on private property, letting employees have it, or leaving it outside to take at your own risk.
On the other hand, once you've spent those hours, the result is yours forever. You won't have the PostgreSQL legal team hitting you up for a million in fines because they found an old PC of yours in a flea market where you forgot to wipe a partial install of PostgreSQL before you gave up and trashed it.
There's a lot of truth in this. Oracle has never done the "impossible" Their whole attraction was that they had already done the hard work, so they could offer it slightly cheaper than a home grown solution for all but the most cash poor organizations. Then as their demands for money went up and up, they hung on mostly where they were already in place and they were slightly cheaper than the cost of a complex migration. Now their demands are so large that even complex migrations are starting to look like a better value.
Unless they drastically change their ways and lower their demands, many more of their customers will see migration as the way to go. But I suspect geese could easier change their behavior and start migrating on unicycles than Oracle could learn to play nice. They just don't have it in them, so they will go away.
It appears that you've hit your head on the goalpost and given yourself a concussion, no wonder you think it moved. The person we're talking about is 63, and still working at a stable job. Before the rent went up she was doing OK.
Many would wonder why you are so willing to lick the boots of the Capitalists. I'm sure they do appreciate the little people like you who so willingly keep out from under foot when they point somewhere and say "I WANT". Not very much though, since they will never bother to even learn your name or remember what you look like.
I see you're anxious to blame the victim. Common enough, but keep in mind, there are many people who had good reason to think they were "there" and then found out they're not.
Many probably thought after the dot com bubble popped that they'd seen the worst of it. Now they have bubble 2.0.
These aren't people who moved in in the middle of this bubble, they were there before the bubble. Some people prefer not to be blown around the country like a tumbleweed.
Although it might be difficult to coordinate, their best bet might be a general strike.
As for solution 2 above, NYC has had that policy for a number of years now. It's not perfect, but it does seem to have helped.
They're not under employed. The average full time salary for teachers and firefighters (for example) simply isn't enough in those areas. They are just under-paid.
A start for city, county, and state employees would be to index their salary to the local cost of living. Another approach would be to mandate some percentage of housing for "low income" (that is, merely average income for non-tech employees).
It sounds like the RV people have taken the first step, their stuff is now in a mobile vehicle. But moving isn't always that simple either.
Rather than turning the whole area into a slum and then a brownfield, and a great deal of suffering, wouldn't it make a lot more sense to fix the damned problem? Your "solution" is a cure in the same sense that a massive overdose of barbiturates is the cure for a broken toe.
In this particular case, If nothing is done, the whole area will turn into a slum when they can't find enough firemen, teachers, police, and sanitation workers willing to live in a tent to maintain the area. Soon after, it'll be a giant garbage fire. Then the rent will go down.
The people living in RVs weren't laid off, they remain employed. It's just that there's nowhere affordable for people in non-tech jobs to live.
Keep in mind that the purpose of insurance is to spread risk. The day they can perfectly characterize lifetime risk is the day insurance dies, and no amount of competition can save it from that.
Sure, but we're adults. We have the ability to find out what's up and decide if the trade-off works for us or not (but note how often corporations deny how much data they collect because they suspect we would object). Kids aren't there yet. Many think when they tall their doll a secret, she keeps it. That was true for for all previous generations, dolls didn't betray trust, ever.
So much so that dolls that betray are a significant sub-genre of horror.
They did stand up, and a law was passed. Now it needs to be enforced. The parents in TFA are standing up as well.
They make a profit on every unit sold. They just want to make even more.
If the device needs more computing power than it can fit onboard (a lot less of a problem not than it was just a few years ago thanks to ARM), let it talk to software loaded on a PC.
If the neighbor on the left sees his rent double, and the neighbor on the right sees her rent double, and the people down the street see their rent double, what is the most likely thing for your rent to do?
In fact, the rent doubling is going on all over that area. Why do you think there's so many people living in RVs that they can organize?

It's lack of oversight is serving us quite badly.
Because, as we see here, leaving it in the hands of our angelic corporate masters will serve us without fail.
It's definitely a message from the AG. He wants us to know that he's super serial about paying off those Blockbuster Late fees.
My phone is rated as waterproof to 6 ft. and has a headphone jack. There's a rubber flap with a gasket covering the USB and headphone jack.

Spoken like a true temporarily embarrassed millionaire.
I wonder who they'll pin the blame on when there's a fire and all the firemen are gone because they were out-competed for a place to live?
Or when their cars are stolen and there's no police. Or even when the coffee shop is slow because there's no waitstaff.
The economy is supposed to serve people, not the other way around. The economy is not a being with rights, it's just a construct.

I hope you asked Santa for a new football helmet.
No, I am supporting the people who were already there. I'm also not saying the capitalists are expected to go away, just share fairly.

Averages tend to be smooth. Individual rents tend to jump when the old lease runs out.
And 80 thousand who are happy to tsk tsk and claim it would never happen to them because they're much smarter than the people who are struggling.
As for the rent, only the willfully ignorant would claim there hasn't been a significant increase in that area over a fairly short time.
I keep seeing people claiming fear that a socialized healthcare system might go ban happy, but can you point to one that has actually done that?
It is so regulated because it has such a long history of dirty tricks.
We never saw insurance insurance because company was going to make that sucker bet.
BTW, AXA is in the Euro Stoxx 50 and has been around for 200 years. They're doing fine.
