If someone withdrew their crypto, or deposited fresh crypto and sold it the exchanges would note it as part of the 1099, just like a brokerage would if you transferred stock. It would then be the taxpayer's responsibility to correctly report their buy and sell prices. You could cheat, of course, but you might get caught. Issuing 1099s at least simplifies the tax process and captures capital gains in a lot of cases.

No need to give up single family homes at all. Just make sure every suburb has a dense multi use zoned core with shops and apartments above the shops. Then make that core easy to reach from all across the suburb by walking/cycling/bus/rail (yes that will take away some of the space allocated to cars). Then as a bonus, connect those cores to each other with rail. This is essentially how Dutch suburbs work.
I use a variety of editors is a ad-hoc way, mostly because for any specific ad-hoc task, one or the other makes it easier to do. For example, creating a scratch buffer (note, not *scratch*) is just easier in BBEdit than Emacs, because all I do is open it and there it is. That said, I do most of my programming in Pycharm these days, and I don't regret it.

As for emacs, I use it just about every day, and I think one of the best things about it is that Emacs will be Emacs whether its 2021, or 2031. Its a lifelong tool for a hopefully long life.

But there is a clear tradeoff between the two so saying that would be a useless platitude. If we really see the internet as an extension of our vocal chords, then we should have individual rights to it, especially considering the fact that the internet infrastructure is not provided by the governments themselves, only the spying is.
Some do. I lived in upper Queen Anne in Seattle. Very few highrise houses and all very expensive now. I would be a liar if I said I didn't miss how walkable it was.

I also lived in Buckhead area of Atlanta. Also very walkable for me, though there were a few high rises.
I agree with what you say about IDEs, but Emacs' "advantage" over other text editors is that it is only superficially a text editor. It's really more of an operating system.

That's a common response. The problem is that it ignores the fact that San Francisco needs those people to fill jobs that need doing. https://nyti.ms/3yuq3nX

The common response to that then is then we should just raise the pay in an area until every job pays enough to afford to live there, or if not those jobs are clearly not important enough. The problem is that the number of these jobs is growing faster than housing stock. Market forces can't solve the problem of more jobs than homes unless you can build homes or destroy jobs. Take a look at https://bit.ly/36ySeFS - Santa Clara County added 300,000 jobs between 2010 and 2020 while building around 6,000 homes per year (5 jobs per home).

SF is the same story: total housing units in San Francisco increased by about 23,000 from 2010 to 2018 (https://commissions.sfplanning.org/cpcpackets/1996.0013CWP_2..., slide 6). Total employment in San Francisco during the same period grew by almost 300,000.

Seattle: total housing units in Seattle from 2010 to 2019 grew by about 59,000 homes (https://www.seattle.gov/opcd/population-and-demographics/abo...). Total employment (labor force) in Seattle during the same period grew by 243,000 (https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LAUDV534264400000006?amp%253...)

I feel like I was able to solve problems with less friction when I was working in IT. I found a lot of personal and organizational value working one-on-one with the reporter of some issue: directly reaching out to them for more information, assuring them the issue is being investigated, serving as a liaison and sometimes hand-holder in its resolution, and leaving succinct notes and documentation for the next person who might come across whatever the problem was. Today, I don't get this same sense of 'ownership' over fixing a bug, or implementing some incremental sub-sub-feature in software engineering; at times I feel that I am not being trusted to interact with the reporter at all.

The article's title is clickbaity as hell, it should be something like "Why there is less mosquitoes in Disney World than it should" or something like that. "Why Disney World doesn't have mosquitoes" is implying(and wrongfully so) that DW doesn't have mosquitoes. If you want to imply something , then just say it. That meta game of click-baiting people to read your crappy article and then patronizing them because they point it out to you how bad is, is just disgusting and sad.
> The problem is that those people aren’t going to be able to get the kinds of jobs that would make it possible to even afford rent a place here.

Even people with decent jobs in the core Bay Area cities (or even the peripheral ones) often commute in from some place more peripheral and cheaper to live then where their jobs are located.
I think a big part of that uptake is the fact that UK has its own Astrazeneca vaccine with which Oxford was involved and this makes people in UK trust it more than people in other countries trust mRNA vaccines from the foreign big pharma and their government. The other big part of the uptake maybe the way the government and institutions behave and communicate with the public. This latter is horrible in continental Europe.

Because privacy is an obvious goal that Apple can crediblebly target because of the nature of what they sell. Google is fundamentally an advertising agency, Amazon sells cheap stuff but steals your data in the process. Apple sells premium hardware and services, which means they have the margin to do things that neither google or amazon has. They also make money the old fashioned way: when you pay them.

Therefore Apple could focus on privacy in a credible manor, because it didn't threaten their business model and it was an argument they could use, but their competition couldn't.

At least when I lived there, a lot of Orlando had similar mosquito control programs in place. It wasn't that you'd never see a mosquito, but in the relatively close in suburbs, you get much fewer mosquitos than you would otherwise expect. The cities in that area conduct municipal mosquito monitoring and spraying.
As a rule of thumb, you need 10k people / square km (25k people / square mile) to sustain local services and to enable most people live without using a car daily. If 50% of land area is used for streets, parks, and commercial purposes, that 2-3k lot should house at least five people. I believe the average single-family home in an area with no housing shortage houses ~2 people.

Once population density is substantially below that, there are not enough people to support public transit outside specific routes. Most people will need a car in their daily life. You can still find basic services such as supermarkets within a walking distance, but more specialized services such as restaurants and coffee shops become scarce outside central areas.

> The homelessness problem is intractable without zoning reform, and the removal of barriers to new housing, whether those barriers are height maximums, parking space minimums, or "neighborhood input" or "community input," both of which are functionally barriers to building anything, anywhere.

California recently enacted a law with teeth, it requires regions to meet specific, aggressive housing goals, and if the regional proposals don't pass the scrutiny of the state government the region completely loses control over its zoning rules.

The actual title has the advantage of a passable resemblance to English grammar and correct usage, and doesn't suggest that a certain nonzero quantity of mosquitoes is to be normatively preferred. More accurate at the expense of being less terse, while not sacrificing those advantages, would be something like “Why Disney World has fewer mosquitoes than might otherwise be expected”.
TL;DR this article is about a model, which differs from many other models. It is not about new evidence or a dramatic event that has been recorded.
I think you missed the word “public” on my comment. If you are posting content for public consumption, unless that content is copyrighted by you AND I republish/sell/etc it. You basically don’t have much to say if I choose to keep a copy of it.

If you don’t want me to have a copy of it for any reason, don’t let me have it at all.
I would say most (if not all) know how easily you can change the scope of a database like this(like you said yourself) to check for other inconvenient terms, links, memes, etc that do not "toe the party line"(whether is eastern or western - I don't care) and shut down inconvenient discourse.

The point is: This is too easy to abuse.
Basically, these companies know that false positives happen. To them, it's just a statistic - they can afford to wrongly ban 0.1% of customers in the name of preventing abuse. But for the person they're wrongly banning, that's not so fun.

I'm worried this will apply to more seriously some day. "This algorithm says you're guilty of a crime, and it's 99.8% accurate, which we've determined is acceptable, so there will be no way to appeal your verdict."
Actually just removing all public comment would be more impactful than anything. In nearly every jurisdiction, including places like SF (edit: Bay Area not only SF proper), there is ample housing theoretically permitted under current zoning. The problem is we don’t have rule of law in cities, we have fickle and subjective rule by angry mob.

Whether a building meets zoning codes should be a straightforward yes or no question that results in a fairly quick turnaround for a building permit, or a specific list of defects from the code and remedies that would bring the project into compliance.
It is far far far more economical to build walkable neighborhoods. They require far less infrastructure costs, from water piping to sewer to roads. Quite often the only places that can sustainably fund themselves on property taxes are walkable multiuse neighborhoods. A ton of suburbia is sitting on huge infrastructure bills that will come due in the near future.

Car-dependent neighborhoods only exist because law prevents more dense uses. I don't know of a single such car-dependent neighborhood that doesn't strictly prevent a change away from being car dependent. From zoning to codes, anything that could lead to a walkable neighborhood is banned by law from even starting.

If we didn't outlaw walkable neighborhoods, and vigorously defend the banning of apartments and corner stores by swarming of planning meetings and recalls of city council members, vigorous actions perpetrated by the few and not the many, the balance would be entirely different.

In every single family neighborhood that is far dependent, you'll find a small number of people that will go to war to prevent any change to that. And all our systems are set up to allow a small number of people to control the outcomes of planning decisions.
This makes some sense. That said, I also view it similar to how you would consider a keystone on an arch. That is, it may be something at the surface, not necessarily down below. (Which gives the tell that I view depth as down. I'm realizing as I type this that that is not necessarily true.)

Just as "for now" it doesn't try to stop copyright infringement.

Seemingly every aspect of digital technology, from search engines to DNS providers, has been co-opted into the fight against piracy, so I wouldn't be surprised if the media industries started threatening Apple with "contributory infringement" suits if they don't re-purpose this technology for them.
That's exactly how I interpreted it because that's what they said: they don't have mosquitoes.

It doesn’t matter if it’s market solutions or not. Without more housing, California will keep having this problem.

I read Ken's (self-published) book and was a bit underwhelmed. Maybe interesting to diehard fans though.

The chapter on Sierra in Steven Levy's "Hackers" was much more engaging (in fact probably made me want to become a published game author).

Ken only mentions the Levy chapter in passing which is too bad — Levy did a fantastic job of painting a picture of the adolescent coding Mecca that Sierra was at that time. All night D&D, 2-liter's of Coke, coding, hot tubs and gaming....

>New chemicals save lives as well [...] what do you think about the counterargument that by blocking technological improvements before actually investigating their risk you could be doing more harm than you prevent.

What about chemicals that are relentlessly studied, but for some reason can't seem to be regulated at all? Try reading a little about PFAS, darling wonderchemical of DuPont, which is in everything from takeout containers to furniture to dental floss, will never break down in the environment, and causes everything from low birth weight to decreased penis size to cancer. [0]

This is preventable harm, but note how this awful chemical is regulated by no one, and can barely be tested for. Oh, wait, they're going to regula--

"Amid growing public concern, the EPA announced in February it would begin the process of regulating PFOA and PFAS in the next two years (these regulations, if issued, would not apply to other PFAS chemicals)." [0]

Look at how incredibly difficult it is to prevent the blanketing of the world with PFAS, and how toothless the too-late regulation of it -- and not its structural analogues -- will be. The only entities seemingly capable of new chemistry are utterly disinterested with the consequences, and the impotent regulators won't force them to care: it's insane to support new chemical development. It's going to be poison.

And we need to make it easier to build and run something other than single-family dwellings. Boarding houses used to be a common fixture in the US: think a cross between a dorm and a military barracks.

This is such a good point that it really deserves hammering-home.

The causal relationship with mental illness and substance abuse, and homelessness, is bidirectional. Homelessness causes both mental illness and substance abuse (you try existing with no roof, no food, few possessions, and constantly being treated as subhuman) - but also pre-existing mental illness and substance abuse are far easier (and for the folks in the back who can't be swayed by humanism: cheaper) to tackle when the person has stable housing.

Housing is not the only lever we can pull to reduce homelessness, but it really is the largest one.
They’re illegal because people vote for representatives who makes them illegal and show up to city council meetings to petition for them to be illegal.

Existing areas in that style tend to be expensive, but are often (at least where I’ve lived) some of the most NYMBY areas in a city. They like the benefits their density has brought, but won’t tolerate the lot next to them getting one iota more dense.
Yeah I agree
