If I understood you correctly you're saying CA could implement a land value tax provided that we also create a new assement process that only takes into account the value of one's land? Property taxes wouldn't change but landowners would suddenly be responsible for land taxes.

Surely this would still require the 2/3rds majority of voters and lawmakers required by prop 218.

> If the article is correct that water will become more valuable than oil...

Yep, your skepticism is warranted. This is unlikely in the US for common infrastructures, in the large scale, over a long (next generation) period, for standard municipal water (still an under-recognized engineering achievement IMHO). Potable and crop/livestock waters (the kinds that civilizations rely upon) are to a first approximation a derivative of energy. Whether to purify it, or move it, water relies heavily upon energy to enter the market.

To postulate that a barrel of American-municipal-standard potable water will cost more than a barrel of oil is to hypothesize a situation where it takes more than a barrel of oil to create a barrel of that kind of water. Now note I put in the qualifier "for common infrastructures". That's key.

If you have a large enough logistical tail behind creating that barrel of potable water, then it absolutely will cost more than a barrel of oil. For example, that will easily be the case when comparing a barrel of WTI pulled from a stripper well against a barrel of potable water created on a US Navy ballistic missile submarine, including all decomm costs amortized in on both the well and the submarine.

On a slightly less fantastical plane, that qualifier can likely be breached (pun intended) if sea levels do actually rise faster than we can revamp our coastal infrastructures. Major metro water processing plants and the supply chains feeding them are complex beasts, and they are multi-year projects even when money is no object and working shifts 24x7. If, as I predict based upon human nature, politicians kick the can on the sea level rise problem until dikes catastrophically fail in major metro areas, then yes, municipal potable water's disaster relief equivalent may indeed cost more than an equivalent quantity of oil for at least a few years if only because it all has to be trucked in as bottles or tankers during a disaster relief operation.

Leaving on a couple articles about water becoming more expensive than petroleum or gasoline (note it is generally about retailed bottled water):

The problem with that is that it's not water that's so valuable, it's water in California. Penalizing water use everywhere, even in rain-soaked places, would be counterproductive.
I assume we can agree that, based on the article, a person was mistreated because they spoke in slang. In your comment, you put the blame for that entirely on the speaker. I don't think it's a stretch, therefore, to assume that the police officer is 100% blameless in your mind, and it was okay for them to treat the defendant as they did.

If you meant to communicate something else, you didn't do it very clearly.

I made textgenrnn (https://github.com/minimaxir/textgenrnn) as a higher-level approach to creating char-rnns, solving some issues such as the cold start problem (textgenrnn doesn't need a seed) and incorporating a few newer discoveries since 2015 such as Attention and CuDNN speedups.

There are other strategies for working with text to solve generic classification problems (e.g. BERT), but for text generation, LSTMs still can't be beat even though it still has issues with longer-term dependencies.

The equating of "poor" and "problematic" is part of the issue here, and itself has a lot to do with the effects of concentrated poverty.

After Cabrini Green I read that Chicago mandated a section of all new big residential projects have section 8 units inside them alongside the luxury rentals.

While it looks like a reasonable attempt, it’s only looking at directly related effects. For instance, it notes that pedestrian fatalities have decreased since 1960 due to, among other things, discouraging people from walking. The effect of cars on population health would be much harder to quantify but might end up dwarfing many of the other factors.

The index cards are irrelevant. Pretend he wrote "a really fancy computer" if you like that better.
Convolutions in a hierarchy of layers, especially with dilated convolutions, provide long-range connections between inputs (handwavily logarithmic). In an RNN, they are separated by however many steps in a linear way, so gradients more easily vanish. Some paper which I do not recall examined them side by side and found that RNNs quickly forget inputs, even with LSTMs, and this means their theoretically unlimited long-range connections between inputs via their hidden state don't wind up being that useful.
I wonder if scammers are intentionally misspelling subject lines because most security savvy people will just delete those as obvious scams and move on. This would have a two pronged effect:

1. it would filter out security savvy individuals from the actual payload, who might report the scam.

2. it would map to the least security conscious individuals who would be the most likely to fall for it.

Oh wow, Zip disks! I entirely forgot those existed. Which is now bringing back memories of just how many different disk drives those late 90s computers would have. The desktops in my middle school would have floppy, zip, sometimes another floppy, and an optical/cd drive. Towers are now almost flat in front, with even optical CD/DVD drives disappearing in many corners, but back in the day there were disk bays everywhere.

I can still feel the satisfying click as a floppy was seated home and hear the buzz as the drive spun up. There was something wonderfully concrete about those storage media. You just don't get the same satisfaction at all from plugging in a USB stick. And the hours spent pulling back the metal cover and letting it go while bored in class...

Although I do think they stuck around a little longer than many remember. I was still using 3.5s to bring papers to home and back around 1998-2000.
You’re trying to analyze raising children scientifically, and I think that’s impossible.

You can never measure bored teens against non-bored teens in any meaningful way. No parent will want to, or be able to participate in a scientific study to tests the effects of boredom on their teens. What would that even look like? Randomize parents in two groups, and have them change their parenting in prescribed ways? No parent would agree to that.

Even if you did that study, and parents didn’t fail to follow the instructions, the results wouldn’t be applicable. Humans are different. What works for one teen may be counterproductive for another. You could get an average impact of 0, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t impact on a per-teen basis.

And of course, you don’t even know what outcome you want to optimize for. Is it grades? Number of friends? Salary at age 35?

Raising kids is (for better or worse) completely unscientific. Discussions are based in anecdotes and personal experience, not statistics.
Right, but eliminating all attackers except the ones who are willing to spend money on human labor is an incredibly strong filter.
The argument is not about simple decomposition.

Repeatability definitely does not mean some long time frame, it's over any time frame. Short time frames have the largest impact, because it allows you to use a shared cache for build products.

One big chroot around your whole build system isn't enough, you can run into nondeterminism problems due to relative ordering of different build steps during execution. This is why it's nice that the new build systems make each individual step hermetic, because you can make a separate chroot for each individual step (Bazel executes each build step in a separate sandbox).

This allows you to cache all intermediate results, share the cache, and get the same results both for clean and incremental builds, repeatably. It's also easier to remove nondeterminism from individual build steps rather than looking at the whole build.

I don't buy the article 34 argument. It's simply "bait and switch" on the part of the politicians so as to make the city even denser. The end result, more political power, and federal money. I suspect the next attack will be on zoning regulations so neighborhoods can be razed to make highrise apartment buildings.

The traffic in L.A. is the worst in the country. San Francisco, San Diego, and the OC too. That's where they want more "affordable housing." In areas that are already too crowded.

Overachievers should not be able to raise the bar. If they can, then the system is broken. Grades should be relative to the course content, not the abilities of the students.

When I started university, it was clear that I had much more experience programming than the other students, but I had to do certain introductory classes anyway because there was no way to receive credit for half a decade of self learning. On one assignment my lecturer went looking for things to mark me down on that were outside the scope of the assignment because "it would look suspicious if you got a perfect grade".

Some people are just capable of more than is expected of that class for whatever reason, not because they intend to demoralise everyone else and break the system.

This subject is prone to so many reasoning traps.

- The "problem" is with the current generation of children, so their future character is pure speculation.

- The media consumed is seen as new. This means people believe (rightly or wrongly) it affects children very differently. Paradoxically, these same people claim to know how it affects them, despite it being new.

- People are tempted to argue using childhood memories, despite being a child with limited understanding, the mutation of memories over time, and the limited sample size of other kids you knew. Those other kids were also only kids who knew you, meaning they weren't asocial and likely went outside.

This isn't to say we can never know. Just that disciplined experiments are necessary to avoid all these subjective pits.

I’m not sure there is sufficient data to support your hypothesis.
Famines in the modern world are rare, they still exists in some places but those places aren’t exactly stable and have high life expectancy to begin with.

To be clear, mine is the null hypothesis. I suggest that no extraordinary or new information can be gleaned from the life expectancy of Holocaust survivors at present. This constrasts with any claim that this information provides a possible bit of support for the notion that starvation can lead to extended life expectancy.

Famines in historic times were both not rare, periodic, and there isn’t nearly enough data to show if there was any benefit to the survivors other than less competition for resources after the famine has subsided.

Lenin’s USSR between ‘21-‘22 (9 million dead), China in ‘27 (About 3 million dead), Stalin’s Holodomor of Ukraine ‘32-‘34 (8 million dead), Henan, China in ‘43 (5 million dead), Bengal ‘43 (2-3 million dead), Mao’s China ‘58-‘62 (10-30 million dead), The DPRK ‘95-‘99 (about 3 million dead and the lasting negative impact is well studied), and many more from Biafra to Dust Bowl era Oklahoma.

I’m not sure there has been an event like the holocaust where so many people went on to live what essentially became modern western life with all the advantages it provides as far as life expectancy goes.

I agree that it’s hard to find a comparison of people leading a “modern Western life,” but plenty of Holocaust survivors didn’t either. Moreover the negative impacts of starvation are well documented, and “longer life expectancy” isn’t in it. Arrayed against that we have a handful of mouse studies, those very creatures we can cure of cancer... for all that doesn’t apply to us.
