I don't live in San Francisco, and our local YIMBY group is getting things done, thank you very much. We helped nudge our local representatives towards passing HB2001 in Oregon, which will add to the supply of more affordable homes. We've helped get apartments built locally. We speak regularly with our city councilors.

It takes a lot more than being 'highly online' and YIMBY groups are doing that work.

> The original conversation was about how Bitcoin could help the 70% who are unbanked

And this isn't the best argument for bitcoin. The best argument for it is the limited supply.

Considering the BBC has a dog in the fight, I believe that's probably why it doesn't mention the anti-inflationary argument that is the true reason a country would want to transact in BTC.

The USD is available to the US to make more of at any time. Imagine trying to run your government on someone else's currency. You'd always be at a disadvantage.

In the past the US hegemony has regime changed several countries that tried to use their own currency. (See Lybia)
Not only investment but also as a safe holding of value or shadow banking unit of account. Once you get enough money there's no safe place to keep it. While banks are relatively low friction, real estate ownership is like an account with the state, "guaranteed" by our attachment to the structure of our society and the government's "monopoly" on legitimate violence.
I clicked it, read some of it.. I think he's all 3
> Some people say "Well, you're paying more but you can also sell it for more afterwards".

No, they don’t, even talking about non-homeowners, because non-homeowners aren’t paying that much more (rents aren’t increasing the way purchase prices are, the rstio between them is increasing), and non-homeowners have nothing to sell, unless you are referring to subleasing as selling.

> But non-homeowners are still paying more for less.

I think you mean “first-time homebuyers”, but that just means it is more attractive to invest elsewhere while renting than jump into personal home ownership. No one is losing anything, certain choices are just becoming less favored.
> My property taxes have increased 10% every year for the past several years

How I know you don't live in California.

You would love Prop 13 then that has capped the amount that property taxes can increase per year.

Be careful though, your public schools and other services paid for by property taxes are going to suffer as the cash flow dries up....
Do you think people should be able to buy affordable homes? Isn't affordability affected when you are competing with companies with deep pockets? When those companies need ROI do you think they will prioritize housing affordability over profitability?
1. Joplin has no web version.
2. Joplin's so-called "encryption" is not their main focus
3. The organization features are barebones (without plugins)
4. Their export format (JEX) is horrible.
5. Their "cross-platform" apps are also not 100% cross compatible.

There's a lot missing in Joplin. Notesnook is not going after Joplin though; it has already crossed it in terms of privacy, security, portability, and UI.
As I've said elsewhere, if the US wants to set some max window for realizing gains, that could be fine. ProPublica and others are welcome to write opeds arguing for it. People can debate that on its own merits.

The difference between this and deferring wage income is that wages don't need to be liquidated. And that's not a small difference.
We need an open source Google, yesterday.
No, they just need read and/or write access to ftp.bank.com, and the ability to redirect traffic from the victim's browser.

As I understood, by initiating an FTP upload and redirecting the TLS-secured request to the FTP's data port, the entire HTTP request (including cookies in the header) are "uploaded" to the FTP site. This can then be downloaded by the attacker, and now they've exfiltrated the data like the session id (and can do a session hijack attack).

A related attack can be done by placing an HTTP response on the FTP site, and getting the victim's browser to "request" that. This allows the attacker to inject javascript.

These work with certain other protocols, too, but varies by the server and browser tolerance for unrecognized stuff in a request (eg: SMTP will ignore HTTP headers, allowing an SMTP session to be embedded in a POST request as a <textarea>; IE will ignore POP3 "junk" before the beginning of an HTTP response embedded in an email body).

It's a Property Tax which is significantly worse than a Land Value Tax.

Firstly it encourages urban sprawl, which is bad for the environment and bad for cost of living and housing access.

Secondly it penalizes productive value add. Build something beautiful and you're punished for doing so.

Thirdly it doesn't have the same logical justification as the Land Value Tax, which is to tax ownership of scarce, zero sum, excludable, naturally occurring resources that aren't the product of labor.

I think when you're at the point in your argument where the bar you're setting is "immunity to the attacks that broke Enigma", you might as well just concede.
For what I see from the discution it seems to be more a practical decision to not use real time resources and techniques for much higher times. So 1 day for example would be a waste of development time to try to use real time, you could use alerts and background jobs to fix issues. But when you reach shorter and shorter timeframes and bad things can happen a real time approach starts to make more sense.

Now, some parent comment mentioned RTOS. Maybe for a real time OS there would be a practical hard upper bound. But for real time systems in general this upper bound would be totally domain specific.
Do you think the problem with money printing by governments is that people own houses in another country?
I'm not quite following if this is sarcastic or not. For example, Google did acquire flight search: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITA_Software
In my neighborhood the bank owns a house and has owned it since it was foreclosed upon about three years ago. The house is completely falling apart. It is unlivable. The house is tarpped. Apparently also filled with mold. The yard has rotting wood and weeds that are taller than my head. And no one will do anything about it.

The city will fine the bank $100 for each infraction and that is it. The bank could care less.

I am not sure of the bank’s end goal, but I suspect they are waiting for it to be a total loss, get insurance money, and then sell the property as land, which is worth now about what they paid for it anyway.

Meanwhile the local housing market is extremely supply constrained with houses going for over listing price and yet, the bank is not listing it because they think they can get more if they let it fall apart.
> "The Great Reset" in that thread, which is another conspiracy theory"

Curious to see the argument _against_ "The Great Reset" tbf.
It's really not that difficult if you do the necessary legwork beforehand. That basically means, do not access the tables directly. Databases offer a read abstraction via views, and a write abstraction via stored procedures. Use those in your app, and suddenly you can atomically change your database schema without your app even having to go offline.

And as long as you take care of backwards compatibility in your abstraction layer (i.e. sensible defaults for new input columns, hide output columns in the view), you can run both the old and the new app side-by-side.

Again they don't bother to define what freedom is. Whereas the young people know first hand that "It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper." (c)

Dividends are bad for tax drag, its very common now to re-invest that money back into the company, raising the stock price. Ultimately all stock prices rise because more money flows in, but the reasons for the flow matters. If a company wins $1B out of thin air its still up to the investors to realize this and price the stock accordingly. Which is completely different from money flowing in because a cult-of-personality ceo tweeted a meme.

"Being scared of burning bridges reduces personal agency."

Totally agree. "Don't burn bridges" is also such common, banal advice that it's strange the OP is writing it as if it's a contrarian opinion.

For every story like the OPs there are probably hundreds or thousands of people who tacitly perpetuated bad work conditions instead of "burning bridges".
I'm not sure how much I care about whether people own or rent. The politics of the place I live are controlled by owners and are renter-hostile; I don't think increasing the rental stock is a bad thing, and am inclined to believe --- without making any value judgement about REITs and Blackrock ---- that it's probably a net positive.

The compulsion to own homes and tie people's finances to the real estate market is a US idiosyncrasy. It's not, for instance, how they do it in much of Europe.

One of the protections enforced in my country is this – for 24 hours after mobile number porting, all incoming/outgoing sms are blocked. And on both the current sim and new sim, notification sms are sent to inform the user that mobile number migration is occurring. This gives you the opportunity to notice and put a stop to it if it was triggered fraudulently. But of course there are corner-cases to this. If you are personally targeted in the meatspace, then all bets are off.
> Which they happen to be selling at 20% above true market value.

If carvana is not providing that value, then there should exist plenty of sellers that want a piece of that 20%, such as car dealerships and individuals themselves.

This is a market with plenty of buyers and sellers, and low transaction costs. I see no reason why Carvana would be able to corner it.

Conspiracy proponents act like the lab leak theory being true is some game changer. It's the stupidest thing. Even if it wasn't leaked, China sure did a lot to mess up and exacerbate the early response to the pandemic for the world. Additionally, people have been critical of wet markets in China from early on, one suspected source of where it first spread to humans.

I have no problem with investigating if it was a lab leak or anything else, but enough with trying to turn this into some political wedge issue that people wield as a cudgel against 'the sheeple'. Skepticism here isn't some neutral point of view.
Maybe this phrase doesn't work will in all geographies, but the specific term "burning a bridge" in this context means "leaving on a bad note". Things like yelling, loosing control, flipping off the boss, etc. Things that are undignifying and might spoil an otherwise good reputation or future recommendation.

I recognize that sometimes this is within your control, and sometimes it's not.
I just experienced something similar to this and it makes me wonder if much of this is just perception.

We recently dealt with an out of state builder pushing to have a property that was zoned Neighborhood Commercial to be rezoned to something more flexible so that he could build 49 town homes with 49 parking spots on 5 acres of land.

Everybody opposed the rezoning and fought to defeat it. The project would have been the most dense townhome development in 4 counties.

There is uniform agreement that people want commercial projects built there as zoned, but I wonder if the opposition would be classified as NIMBY?
That makes sense but 14 states allow local governments to enact their own income taxes. This seems like an easy fix. The problem with property taxes is that they’re taxing wealth which is not creating monetary value which can be used to pay the fees.

Even before likes were introduced to Facebook, the site was still capable of delivering a blow to one’s self-esteem, because comments were another sign of attention given to you. Plenty of people can tell you how in the period 2005–2009 their status update saying, for example, that they were having a hard time with their lives got zero comments from supposed friends, while someone’s vacation photos got many gushing comments.
Well... I think that if they don't require 2FA, then, well, they don't require 2FA, and not having SMS is neither worse nor better.

If they do require it, then I believe the consensus is that 2FA via SMS is a very bad choice. And since Google Authenticator (and other such apps) are free to download and use, it's not really a burden.
If the "remote work" future is here, then this will just push people out further to the middle of nowhere instead of suburbans towns.

Paying taxes on unearned gains is not "driven out of your house". You can keep the house and pay taxes on the gains.

> I’m sure your feelings will change as you get older.

Yes, this is the problem. Extreme self-interest and entitlement to massive windfalls.
Very strange. Typically banks try to sell foreclosures ASAP to the extent that most go the 'short sale' route where they just force a sale. Given it has been only 3 years and it's already inhabitable; something probably went very wrong preventing it from being sold. It's possible the previous tenants just destroyed it... it's really surprising how bad some people treat their home.
One could argue that a $79 annual exam is more affordable than paying $200 every month for an injection to manage endstage, out-of-control diabetic eye disease.

That being said, I think annual exams are unnecessary for certain population subsegments (e.g. young healthy folks under 40 years old, have good vision, have no personal or family history of eye disease, have no risk factors for developing eye disease ie poorly controlled diabetes;) for those people who NEED annual eye exams (e.g. those with mild nonproliferative diabetic eye disease,) these should be free. But for those without insurance, this is not the case.
Ok, cabal is a strong word and the election stealing/truth hiding is certainly off the rails in my opinion as well.

But here's some perhaps interesting information on top 5 shareholders of largest US banks [1]:

JP Morgan Chase:
Blackrock 6.4
Vanguard 4.7
State Street 4.5
Blackrock 2.7
Blackrock 2.5

Bank of America:
Berkshire 6.9
Blackrock 5.3
Vanguard 4.5
state street 4.3
Fidelity 2.1

Citigroup:
Blackrock 6.1
Vanguard 4.5
State Street 4.2
Fidelity 3.6
Capital world Inv 2.4

Wells Fargo:
Berkshire 8.8
Blackrock 5.4
Vanguard 4.5
State street 4.0
Fidelity 3.5

US Bank:
Blackrock 7.4
Vanguard 4.5
Fidelity 4.4
State Street 4.4
Berkshire 4.3

So although yes this does go off the rails a bit, not unreasonable to question the (possibly perverse) incentives banks face given their ownership. Book by Eric Posner and Glen Weyl called Radical Markets explores those incentives a bit.

I don’t even understand this comment at all. So the solution to NIMBY activists controlling local government is to do... nothing? You know YIMBY is itself an activist movement right? Activist isn’t a code word for “crazy left wing people I don’t like”, it just means people who are hyper politically active (moreover N/Y IMBY is not clearly demarcated on political lines IMO).

All you have done is said the person you are replying to is an idiot for YIMBY but the only argument is that they support Breed. That’s definitely part of the problem but in SF the board of supervisors also hold a lot of power and those are more important. Also, Breed is supported as a least-worst candidate.
