My thoughts exactly. I've skimmed over this and the only real "action" here is repealing those three actions made under the Trump administration, but not replacing them with anything. Sure, it seems rather myopic to ONLY consider TikTok, WeChat, and Huawei when it comes to protecting Americans' personal information (much of which has already been leaked and is for sale on the dark web, sadly) something more comprehensive is in order.
> Property values are not real wealth, it's not real money.

I don’t know, having $100k+ more in equity than a couple years ago it acts like having an asset with real monetary value when I go to a bank looking for credit, having a big effect on both the amount of funds I have access to and the terms on which I can get them.

It’s not liquid like cash, so there is more work to take advantage of it, but its definitely real.
So, what? What business is it of the local government? Why can't we just let consenting adults make their own personal decisions about the details of the housing and parking they choose to live in?

Some people may only need limited parking. Some people may not need any parking. Maybe they're making a mistake and will regret it. Maybe not. Maybe nobody wants that, in which case the developer will pay the cost. Who cares! This is how freedom works. Can we please just stop ramming regulations down people's throats. "Well, no trust me. I'm from the zoning board and I know you're really gonna need two parking spots."

Imagine if we had a clothing board, and anytime a company came out with a new apparel style they had to get approval. "I just don't think anybody wants shorts that far above the knee. Permission denied". Just let the market decide, for God's sakes.

You're full of misconceptions: Andrew Yang's not rich, his net worth, contrary to the hate propaganda prompted being wrongly lumped in with billionaires, is estimated to be ~$600k to $2.2 million.

You don't apply the same VAT rate to every product/service, e.g. staples that say poor people (rather that we all depend on) could gave lower tax rate; likewise if adding a certain VAT on everything while also giving everyone $12,000 per year means that you have to spend $200,000 on non-staple items before you're paying more into the UBI system than you're getting from it - and if you're sitting spending $200k per year on things you're not hurting.

And if you're making assumptions about Yang, could it not be you're making wrong assumptions elsewhere as your foundation for your conclusions? You clearly just hear some small shallow snippets from clearly untrustworthy sources that lack integrity/truth. Maybe instead research Yang and his policies thoroughly.
> Being a logical language, rather than telling the computer what to do, you state facts and it verifies that you are correct.

Sure--it's like advanced static typing for static configuration. But that seems like a different and lesser problem than DRYing up the configuration in the first place, and moreover if you use a statically typed programming language to DRY up your configuration then you get pretty similar guarantees to Cue. You don't get Cue's "unifying many definitions" approach, but I can't honestly discern the value proposition in that.

As for turing incompleteness, that's a nice to have at best. If I had to choose between a turing incomplete declarative language like JSON and a turing complete imperative language like Lua, I'd take the latter every single time.
I'll give the standard reply here: this sounds mainly like a criticism of the current system. Are you specifically proposing some loophole in geoism that could be gamed in such a way to make things worse for the poor, beyond how things stand in the current system? Or is this more of a "things will end up badly for the poor no matter what we do" kind of sentiment? I can certainly understand that, but it isn't a good excuse for apathy.

Japan's population is declining. What's your point?

Why would you expect house prices to go up when there's a ridiculous oversupply of housing. There's only 55M households in Japan, and there's ~9M vacant homes. That's ~14% of homes.

Housing is an expense unless there's someone to live in it and pay rent.

They know that the current government planning regulations mean that getting anything built is extremely difficult. They know that due to supply and demand that this makes property a wise investment. Blame planning regulations. I read recently that Japan and new Zealand scrapped various regulations and this led to stabilization / lower of property prices.

Near me, someone is sticking up protest letters at bus stops complaining a developer wants to build flats. For heaven's sake, people need to live somewhere, please do build.
"Maybe the rich can save more because thy earn more."

That's certainly a big part of it, but far from the only one.

When you're living paycheck to paycheck you have no money to invest, so the poor are usually limited to earning only as much as their poorly paying jobs will pay them, while the salaries of the rich usually only make up a small to non-existent portion of their wealth.

On top of that, at least in the US, capital gains are taxed at a much lower rate than income, so those whose income makes up a large fraction of what they earn are doubly screwed.

For the really poor, food expenses are a significant portion of their expenses, and yet many of them live in food deserts where food is not only less nutritious and less varied than what the rich have access to, but that food is often more expensive.

If as a poor person you have to take out a payday loan to get by, you're also going to be paying through the nose for that.

Predatory lending practices are also widely employed against the poor.

If you can't afford your own home (or to own a home but never pay it off), you could wind up paying way more in rent or mortgage payments than if you had bought a home outright in cash and never had to pay any interest on it at all.

That's not to mention medical expenses, which often bankrupt people in America... or legal expenses, which the poor often can't afford and wind up going to jail because of.

Finally, its the wealthy and powerful who write the laws and and use their connections in and various forms of bribes of government to favor mostly themselves, their friends and families. The poor do not have this sort of pull, and are often led by the nose by the rich to vote against their own interests.

What you're suggesting is that the solution to the problem should be targeted at the actual problem trying to be solved.

Seems like a lot to ask, so clearly the best way forward is to just continue shoveling more wealth onto the already-wealthy at the expense of people entering the workforce and housing market, and even then still not actually solving the original problem we sought out to solve in the first place.

Ask HN: I Am Going in Circles
I am writing a piece of code for a web application. After deliberating on an approach I implement it. Then after I complete the code, I think of another approach and abandon the previous code and start writing new one! This has happened now for almost two weeks. I complete the piece of code, I am not happy with it. Then throw it away and start deliberating on a new approach and the cycle starts again. I am just going in circles! Looks like I am stuck. How to get out of this situation?
Finland was historically a part of Sweden for about 600 years, and the northernmost part was called Lapland. Nowadays that part is split into Swedish Lapland and Finnish Lapland. Norrland (literally "northern land") is the name for the part of Sweden that is north of approximately 61 degrees northern latitude, so it includes Swedish Lapland but also a lot more.
Yeah, but you can't really look at economies from that protectionist viewpoint. The US primarily exports services like software, consulting, tourism, etc. that rely on strong foreign economies.

So if that Dutch shipbuilder needs AUTOCAD and Slack to function and then the employees vacation in Miami, the US still benefits despite the final product being produced elsewhere.

It’s similar (if symmetrical) to the situation with recruiters — most of their money comes from getting you an offer and you then accepting it. Negotiating a better salary gives them more money, but costs time that would’ve been better spent getting another person a job.

The price of bitcoin determines how miners get paid, which determines how much energy they can (and rationally should) spend on mining.

This news appears to have spiked the price of Bitcoin.

Presumably, if El Salvador actually implements this policy and starts using Bitcoin that would also increase demand for Bitcoin and increase its price.

Additionally, a full bitcoin block with high fees pays for more mining expenditure than an empty one. So if there is high demand for block space, that also can increase mining energy usage.
Throw the first one away. Especially when starting a run, plan on throwing away the starter base.

I learned this trick watching AntiElitz speedruns.

> There might be racism in society but that doesn't mean you get to lump all white people together as more powerful than all black people. There are plenty of powerful black people, and plenty of zero power white people. What you are doing is basically race based identification and judgement, aka racism.

I agree factually in some respects, but I think that argument is a distraction. Obviously we must generalize somewhat; we can't write out every detail, and no matter what level of detail we include, someone can point out more that we omit. We could list the status of every individual in the country, but then we would be omitting their histories. On the other hand, generalizing about race is something I think we should be very careful about.

So yes, there are disempowered white people. There are disempowered disabled people and short people and immigrants and poor people, etc. There are disempowered rich white male in SV, for various reasons.

But I strongly disagree in this respect: We are talking about power resulting from skin color (what a concept to write - it's just absurd, but it's true!), not from other things. And all white people are much more powerful than black people in that regard. White people can go anywhere, buy anything, get any job, walk down any street, rent an Airbnb, interact safely with police, all simply by power conveyed by their skin color. It even affects where you can go in cyberspace: Look at popular Tik Tok videos; from what I've seen (not a lot, but compilations on YouTube), 98% white, some Asian and Hispanic, I'd guess 0.1% black. Join a gaming forum and make it known that you are black, and see what happens (based on what I understand).

To catalog everyone else who is disempowered is like talking about every other disease at a cancer conference.

I thought that virtual hosts for TCP would be an interesting feature to have to support multiple services on a single port. I remember reading about this years back: http://www.litech.org/~brian/tcphosts/paper.html
It's all built around that feature. You define your model using the language CDS (core data services), after compilation, you'll get a JSON representing the model (used by the generic runtime, either Node.js or Java), table/view SQL statements for the databases SQLite/HANA and OData metadata used by generic UIs. That means you semantically define your model and get all the artifacts needed to run the application. With generic support for most "enterprise qualities" like authorization, localization, draft support, extensibility etc.

Maybe. If zoning is fluid and organic, you might get those. And they are nice things that many people value.

But, in existing zones? Maybe not - you'd have to convince people to change residential to commercial/retail. And changes to parking minimums, which always seem to screw up projects (they almost always require more parking than a "free market" would dictate).

My understanding is that this piece largely glosses over what is the only truly guaranteed way to escape taxes on capital gains: charitable trusts.

As the article aptly points out, deferring unrealized gains does not necessarily lead to tax avoidance. Either you eventually sell your assets and pay capital gains, or you die and gains are taxed via estate tax.

However, by transferring your assets to a charitable trust, you can avoid both capital gains tax and estate tax. Yes, your heirs will have to pay ordinary income tax when withdrawing from said trust, but due to the US's progressive income tax, said tax rate can be quite low.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

> I wonder if the opposition would be classified as NIMBY

If a protected classification like gentrification or environmental impact can be found, then it isn't NIMBY anymore.

Say for example, if the town homes projected to be priced higher than the neighborhood, there is a gentrification angle. Density often requires some environmental impact review. For example, a change in development density might have significant water runoff impacts that require a retention area large enough to make the development economically unviable.

I think finding a potential habitat for an endangered species is the strongest reclassification from NIMBY because it doesn't require any change to existing structures, mostly freezes things in place and has regulation from redundant inscrutable jurisdictions and the support of outside organizations that are generally successful and seeking new cases to work on.
