I don’t understand what you mean by this. No one needs to rent anything to anyone, if resources are distributed fairly.

But resources aren't being distributed fairly.

If a renter pays the same amount of money as the landlord pays towards their mortgage, and the renter has paid rent for as long as the landlord has paid the mortgage, the renter should have as much equity in the property as the landlord does.

That's a rather arbitrary rule. You would still need a bunch of stipulations on top of that to make sure it's fair to the renter.

Assuming you do have all the right rules in place, what makes this setup more desirable than simply renting at cost?

Just so we're on the same page, we're still talking about OP's question, right? My definition of parasitic requires being a net negative to the "host". The threshold between parasitic and non-parasitic is at net neutral for both parties, and we're discussing where that line is.

In my experience, LLMs tend to be pretty good as long as you know the topic well and are capable of judging the quality of its output. They will always spit out a mix of good data with trash. So if you're set on using an LLM for this, you'll either need to learn to cook without a recipe or accept whatever level of trash you might get from it.

For things like cook time, it's never going to be exactly right regardless of whether you get the numbers from an LLM or from a reputable cookbook. Things will vary depending on the temperature of your stovetop, size of the cut, freshness of the ingredients, the atmospheric pressure, etc. The only way to get this right is practice.

Otherwise, if this is working out for you, then I see no reason to change anything. If you have specific problems though, we might be able to give some more helpful tips.

People who don't want to buy a home at that location would still need a place to live. Someone needs to rent it to them. Until someone comes along to create government housing or whatever, this is the best we can offer as an individual.

On the topic of transferring equity, how much is reasonable equity? Why not rent at cost instead of charging more and giving it back in a different form?

I don't know the other names, but I've listened to Mearsheimer speak on the issue and it all sounds very logical given the premise. Recalling from memory, the premise was something along the lines of NATO neighbors being an existential threat to the country. I'm not well versed in geopolitics, so I'm wondering if anyone has any arguments for or against this? All I have to work with is that this looks consistent with Russia's invasion of Georgia/Ukraine and how China continues to prop up North Korea.

I imagine they would have the same eating experience as those mini shrimps commonly used in Chinese cooking. Meaning, great tasting but very unpleasant texture due to the shell.

This suffocated the turtle

Oh, they use it to gain goodwill, attract talent, and get free labour. It's no secret. Zuckerberg openly talks about this.

I wouldn't call it bait though. They're legitimately good projects, and you're free to make use of them while giving nothing back.

~~I don't believe it's possible~~. As far as I can tell, you're very limited in how much you can scale up on any planet until you've gotten research from all the others. 300k scrap should get you about 3k science, plus you can mine those pink plants for holmium ore. That should be more than enough for your first visit.

Correction: Elevated rails can be researched before you ever leave Nauvis. That should allow you to transport scrap between islands.

I only know honeypots to be something used to bait out illegal activities, so I don't know what you mean by that.

Point being?

I'm sure the guy can tell the difference between a genuine threat and a hyperbole.

Last I heard, their profits were nearly entirely from memberships. This was probably five years ago though. I don't know if their numbers have changed since.
