> Land value tax doesn't punish development the way that property tax does.

If you can afford to pay 100% upfront for the cost of doing an addition to your house, then you can almost surely afford the ~1% per year additional taxes. This is technically a 'punishment' but it is a really minor one, and I doubt it actually impacts many people's decisions

The collision risk depends on the application and use case. In sufficiently large real systems, a probabilistic pseudo-UUID with only 96 bits of entropy has a collision probability that is very small but not so small that you can treat it as effectively zero if avoiding collisions is critical. I’ve seen multiple systems that generate unique identifiers at rates > 10^9 per second. The 128-bit size has a lot of advantages, but probabilistic identifiers are expressly disallowed for some applications and contracts because of the collision tail risk. Making the identifier larger than 128-bits has other significant costs so that generally is not an option either.

That aside, generating probabilistic UUIDs at the rates where this is an issue is a bad idea regardless for performance reasons.
In other news, grey text on a light grey background is terrible to read (especially with such a light font weight).
This is cool as heck. Outside of architectural attacks, this seems like a practical response to Reflections on Trusting Trust (http://users.ece.cmu.edu/~ganger/712.fall02/papers/p761-thom...).

While we can definitely discuss whether it's practical for anyone to actually audit all that source code (no it is not), proving a 356 bytes codestream isn't malicious seems like a good foundation to argue about.

I am a mid-level developer who likes to work mostly on backend API development but frequently dives into frontend development. I enjoy refactoring just as much as creating from scratch, and I know the importance of documentation and good communication. I give back to my community using my skills and am eager to grow with good mentors.
Bitcoin get stolen by hacking and fraud all the time — alarmingly often, I would say. So let’s imagine a world where state actors like the US government have resources equivalent to teenagers in the Ukraine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency_and_crime

The US government already seized a pile of Bitcoin that was stolen from Silk Road by apparently strong-arming or negotiating with the hacker who stole the BTC. I imagine the US government could do the same kind of hacking — a claim the FBI appeared to make in the case.

If the government wants to seize your assets but can’t find them or get to them, they seize you. A bank robber who hides the cash and refuses to give it up can’t spend it from jail.

Do people in other countries care what the US government seizes? Probably not. But governments and law enforcement agencies in other countries do. Look at how the US government strong-armed banks in almost every country to comply with US money laundering and tax avoidance laws. Try to open a bank account in a foreign country with a US passport and see if they care about US law (hint: they do). And the US government can seize foreign assets, you should have no trouble finding numerous examples of that actually happening.

Supposing BTC exchanges and your wallet are 100% secure from even government hacking and seizure (all evidence to the contrary). If the government wants to seize those assets but can’t they will seize what they can. The minute you try to use your BTC for anything of value the government can seize the cash or goods you exchange BTC for. So maybe they never get the BTC, but those coins are useless to you in the same way the box of stolen cash buried in the woods is useless to the bank robber. Forget about leaving the country, the FBI canceled your passport.
I think that writing a book today is like having a business cards. You let you future customer or employer know that you have a deep knowledge in a field or are able to write well.

Maybe a bit more than a card. Maybe similar to showing your portfolio of past projects. It's impressive but it won't make you rich.

I remember going to a book festival where an author was giving away her book. I grabbed one with the idea of reading it but the reality was that without a bit of background on the book it was hard to spend the time to read it. It sat on my bookshelf for many years and eventually I gave it away.

It's true no one will read your book. So you better write it because it fills a need for you not because someone else will find it interesting.

I’ve worked a lot of low status customer facing jobs, including at Walmart. I also used to build houses as a carpenter for a GC. I’m fully aware of what it’s like to work for dehumanizing employers in dehumanizing industries with bad pay and no benefits.

The DMV isn’t one of these, sorry.

Making excuses for people who hate their jobs or bosses and take it out on the public is what I’d expect from someone with very little life experience.

I’ll notify the public that the DMV is amazing, and the TSA are friendly and professional. Nobody getting fired ever is because they hire only the best. /s
thanks for the amazing work on Pion, seriously impressive stuff
This is so succinctly put - I love it!
I don't think that link says the fired researchers are getting job offers? The only mention of job offers I see is Mitchell's tweet, which from the context seems to be about colleagues of hers currently at Google getting offers elsewhere. Basically she thinks there will be more resignations because more people are just now getting alternative offers.

I couldn't find anything online about Gebru or Mitchell actually getting offers, although IIRC Gebru said she has no interest in industry right now anyway.
From the article:

> Democrats, surveys have shown, are more likely than Republicans to prioritize walkable neighborhoods with good public transit. Republicans, on the other hand, prize neighborhoods with more Christians and larger houses.

From the study the article links to just below that paragraph:

> We explain a paradox in the literature on partisan polarization and sorting: partisans differ in their stated preferences over the partisanship of communities and numerous correlates of partisanship, but these preferences do not lead to meaningful partisan differences in residential migration. ... Despite the statistically significant influence of community partisan composition on partisans’ community ratings, partisanship’s direct effect on where people live is likely to be weak due to the low priority that Americans assign to the partisanship of their communities and neighbors. ... potential movers with a stated propensity to move to more copartisan neighborhoods are, regardless of their underlying motivations, more likely to have few choices if they select first on affordability and quality. ... those who have the most desire and most latitude to sort by party are not doing so. ... Our study shows, neither partisan affect nor its correlates are sufficient to overcome the substantial material concerns that inform a decision as weighty as residential choice. When it comes to one extremely important household decision, politics remains, in Robert Dahl’s (2005) words, a “sideshow in the great circus of life.”

I don't think the study supports the article.
It doesn't get better when your middle aged and realize that if it's not being built by the thousands as a consumer product, then it's going to cost ten times more to do it yourself all things considered.

Except weirdly enough, basic home maintenance. I don't know what that says.
This sounds like something actual law enforcement would do.

Why should namecheap shut down a potential law enforcement operation targeting darknet criminals?
> you couldn't get collision.

You mean probably. With which you mean there's a low chance of this happening. For that one second. But there are many more seconds after that. Plus you have to assume your PRNG never has any weird hiccups - such as when someone does VM shenanigans.

This isn't "guaranteed" to be collision free at all.

As always, call your congressperson and indicate you support such legislation (if you do; imho you should). Also, the postal board of governors can sign off on the USPS providing financial services without congressional approval, so I expect to see some progress as the current administration fills vacancies on the board [2].

Right but mass transit are cars in inherent conflict. There's no way to "do both" and not be incredibly wasteful.

A lot of newspapers are for a little for-show light rail with park and drive for 9-5 commuters only, but this is a waste that just begets more car-oriented suburbs.

True urban development is going to force a lot of people comfortable in their subdivisions and predictable slowly-to-the-moon single family home prices to comfort a different world, and nobody likes change.

So it's rich people + status quo inertia. That's a lot to confront.
You asked a dozen questions of me, and then the moment I ask a single question to you, you dodge it completely.

C'mon dude. Stop. You should understand how extremely bad faith that is.

Unfortunately, if you are unwilling, or unable, to state a single reason yourself, as for the issues with someone who spent a decade in isolation, might be at least a little bit suspect regarding their opinions of social interaction, then I cannot help you, and nothing that I say is going to be able to adequately explain anything to you, because you are likely acting in bad faith.

Here is some advice for you. The next time you are trying to interact with someone about a topic, you should not act in such bad faith with others, as it is difficult to have a conversation with a person such as yourself.
is this a criticism of the linked site, or HN?

... and to stay on topic, .org may not be credible, but the indistinguishable-at-a-glace .ong is absolutely vetted. So keep an eye our for that ;)
Lucky! Here in Portland we get the 3% per year plus nearly every election has a property based bond that always pass. Such that over the last 10 years our property taxes have more than doubled.

There is no lower limit for dollars.

In the US, fuel stations price in tenths of a cent.

Google Cloud's per-second billing prices resources with a millionth of a cent precision.

One troy ounce of gold consists of 3.36x10^27 atoms.

There is not an infinite supply of Bitcoin, dollars or gold just because you can divide them into arbitrarily small pieces.

I had been eating paleo, so it’s fair to say I reduced sugar at that point. Minimizing sugar intake insulin spikes was probably the best step I could personally take, but none of the mental changes came from that.

Then I incorporated kale, spinach and upped my broccoli intake (which was the sole vegetable I had really been eating). Also consume some spirulina (Cyanobacteria). Becoming maybe 50% of my diet this would be where I noticed I was having improvements to my immune system, hair, nails, general inflammatory response (improved recovery from runs and no more soreness). Also when my tastebuds began to change and sweets lost their pleasantness.

Finally I upped the fat, and began going into ketosis (I was trying to avoid saying this bc some people consider it a turn off/fad diet), in general this is where my mindset can change in terms of my thoughts and feelings toward what I put in my body. Though I only enter the wild mental states while running, certain keto friendly foods I have noticed block these experience in particular dairy (basically cheese as I didn’t really consume other dairy).

Otherwise I haven’t experimented very much with pre or probiotics, and haven’t really incorporated much in the way of fermented foods.

Except for China, the US has done very well actually economically in COVID. It probably is the second best performing economy from March 2020 (when COVID started) to March 2021.

Look at India for example - it's economy is in tatters and given the currently horrific second wave - years of economic progress has been wiped out.

Sometimes Reddit or HN is too deeply invested IMO in the US bubble to look out at the bigger world. Countries would kill for slightly higher inflation to have a healthy functioning economy right now.
The M-Word
> The common explanation is that only non-profits, professional associations, and other organizations are able to register a .org domain name.

Even if that were true, how would it indicate any credibility? Being a nonprofit (a) is defined differently in every country and (b) in the US, just means that the organization advances some sort of social purpose (may or may not be one you agree with) and does not accrue profit on behalf of its members. It in no way means they are trustworthy nor that they are qualified to speak on the issue at hand.

Where are you living?

My experience in the US has been basically what you described in Fiji, except not limited to women. Virtually everyone around here is happy and excited to see kids. Babies especially.

Taking my <1 year old for walks was guaranteed to produce smiles and waves from everyone we passed.

If I was living somewhere where people outwardly loathed young children, I'd probably want to move. What you're describing isn't normal.
while you raise some good points in that post, your 3c point assumes equal and easy access to balot boxes, in a time when the president and his party were railing against mail in votes.

Mail in votes were going to be a big deal that election. Even if flats were down as you said, it doesn't seem intuitive that you would reduce the ability to process flats prior to an election that depends on them.
Yes, the offset is a round decimal number, but I'm not sure why that makes it a very good epoch. The code actually has it as "16 * 10 * 8", but it seems like an obvious optimization would be to hard code it as, yes, 1600000000. But if you're hard coding that, you could hard code 1609459200 (for a round date) or 1620073869 (for when the initial commit was made) or whatever instead.

Any choice will inevitably be arbitrary, but this feels like it may have been chosen for odd reasons to me.
> Building a high-density city today would require...driving into town

Actually you just said the solution. Let them buy all the exurb crap the want, but make driving hell in all the main destinations. Do that, and your transit investments will actually work.

Only spinless politicians that want to appease both sides make transit fail and let the car win.

About a year ago I was attempting to book a room through the Hilton payment system but my card kept getting declined.

Opening up the web inspector revealed that the JS was stripping any leading 0's for the CVV. I ended up manually crafting a curl request to hit the GraphQL endpoint and was able to successfully book the room.

I did reach out to a Platform Architect on LinkedIn describing the bug, but never heard back about it. Was a total shot in the dark, though, so no surprise there.
I relay the words of my housemate that's a nurse. How are they able to do this on simply your wrist when they use large machines with multiple sensors in hospitals?

My argument is that those machines are highly accurate, or at least the most accurate in order to diagnose.

This extends to the other measurements too like respiratory rate and bloody oxygen saturation.
Oh wow. That's interesting. Is there any google software that read books or read light novels https://readlightnovel.info/ for you and you just listen to it instead of reading it.
Having been in it from the beginning, I can tell you that it isn't crypto that is failing to "revolutionize how we transact" - it is the existing system both moving at a slow pace and actively fighting the loss of control. The slow roll is understandable in one regard, but the delaying tactics are pretty transparent at this point. What is more frustrating are the instances of regulators killing exciting developments. I'd written Forex related software years before bitcoin, and I was very familiar with the way trading data is sold in tiers for stupid prices, so when I saw bitcoin exchanges dumping live - full order books through websockets... I was totally blown away. Then we started seeing really clever implementations of decentralized lending for margin accounts with market set interest rates... it was an amazing couple of years. Obviously such freedom is not to be tolerated, and what remains is a marginal improvement to the preexisting system.

The thing is that, as a male startup cofounder with two young kids (my cofounder is a woman with two kids), I’ve found that I’m usually the one fighting to make decisions that allow me to spend more time with my kids, whereas my partner just can’t get enough nights and weekends to keep working. I don’t know if I’m the exception or if more dads just don’t talk about it.

At a population level, this is still likely something women tend to prioritize more than men, and that you usually can’t have it all, but I don’t want to miss my kids growing up and no company is worth missing that, the one exception being all the COVID response work we’ve been doing. That’s been a worthwhile (and temporary) trade-off.

Just wanted to say that there are also fathers struggling with that balance.

Lets pretend an oracle handed me a fully functioning version of Android 5.1 (the best looking version of Android) for the iPhone $whateverIsCurrent. Installation is fully automated and works 100% of the time. All I have to do is plug-in my iphone to a Mac, paste in the signing key, and hit okay.

I am no closer then to installing an altOS then I am now. I can't install it without getting my hands on the signing key. Which means, hacking or corporate espionage. One is probably illegal in some countries and the other is definitely illegal in most country.

For the record, I don't care if I run iOS or anything else. A phone is a phone is a phone. But a few comments up, the claim was made that Apple isn't stopping owner's from doing anything and that simply isn't true. It is using software to place the weight of the law against the user.
