It is collusion. Information like occupancy and operating costs are shared with the software service to determine the "fair" rent rate. The software takes into account these metrics from many different management companies. If rental management companies were to share this info with eachother directly in order to set pricing, that would constitute an antitrust violation. All the software does is turn the trust into a shell game that's more difficult to prosecute.

It's completely insane, they could have settled for breadcrumbs, but they've chosen to make the most comic villain insane ad against subscribing possible. Pay for our content, nvm this line that says we can kill your wife with impunity 10 years down the line... GIVE US MONEY

No sane country is gonna accept payment in wildcat bank money, and there's no reason to not continue to use the ruble within russia

I think they might be using it as a beta testing ground for their back end features, the brand is also pretty valuable in and of itself. The traffic avoidance is much more aggressive than Google maps

Llvm can't compile to itanium?

There's no reason Gmail should be included in search of it's broken up. Otherwise agree though.

Buyouts shouldn't be allowed by default. The only cases where it should be allowed are when the business being bought out is struggling to the point where a buyout is really the only way to prevent bankruptcy. It should never be a good deal for the selling company and only a last resort to stop closing doors completely.

If they forced them to split Waze off and make it independent again it probably could, it's probably the only non default app I see people use regularly

I don't think those people make up a large portion of swing voters these days. People didn't come out for Hillary because she had bare faced contempt for middle America, among other things.

I really wish they'd support WebDAV sync or something for drive, then they wouldn't have to build a client. Their Linux support is always really poor IMO and it's frustrating. You'd think a privacy oriented company would support the most privacy conscious os

It could be for wind tunnel time, since they're falling behind in development

Snaps suck, but I haven't found flatpaks to be much better. I've also found Ubuntu to be really unstable recently fwiw. It's really annoying how hard they're pushing snaps, to the point it's basically impossible to get away from them. I'd recommend Fedora or Endeavor instead. I've run Endeavor for years now without a hitch, but many of my machines are on NixOS now.
