If the property taxes are going up that much, then the local government is spending much more. But I have seen places where land values go up, and tax rates actually go down (and/or assessments remain low), since the government expenses do not rise at the same rate.
That wasn't in the USA and it was pre-9/11. And they were discovered by local police checking out a fire, not airport security, which strengthens the point about investing in intelligence instead.
As others have mentioned, the article is missing a crucial constraint, which is essentially that it holds on the closed unit ball and spaces homeomorphic to it.

As you mentioned, it's also not intuitive. It's by now well-digested, but it's a fairly surprising theorem, even to Brouwer.

Finally, it's not constructive. Generally you can't figure out which point is fixed. If I recall correctly, frustration with this fact fueled Brouwer's interest in intuitionism, which gives us a type of logic where some propositions are neither true nor false but essentially undecidable.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "particle" in your sentence. If you mean to go down to the quantum scale, then I'm sure all sorts of things go wrong in trying to apply the theorem. For one, even talking about the position of a particle at all is very different from talking about a point in Euclidean space.

If you don't mean to go down to the quantum scale, then lots of maps have fixed points. Rotations an reflections are two large classes of examples.
Author here. Thanks for mentioning Meteor, which also impressed me a lot when it first came out. I think it didn't take off because it tries to do too much (frontend + backend + db). And one smart move by Replicache is that it tries to integrate nicely with the rest of your stack.
It's hard to compare to some cities in the north since a lot of what is now considered Houston were actually numerous different towns separated by open fields earlier in the 20th century, and now they've all been swallowed up. But the inner part of Houston has famously (infamously?) had minimal zoning restrictions and the inner 610 loop had quite a bit more affordable housing than comparably-sized cities such as Chicago. Nowadays people get pretty annoyed at large new apartment buildings (even luxury ones) being built in the inner loop, but that's just because Houstonians have been so used to having far more houses in the urban center than other large cities (I'm thinking of walking down shadowed streets in NYC where you don't see the sun because the residential buildings are several stories tall--something uncommon here). But the lack of zoning is making it easier to quickly fill in with denser housing such as 3-story or 4-story townhomes and large new apartment buildings, so I'm curious if it will be incredibly dense in the center a century from now.

I’m in Comox! I don’t even get Tacofino.

The Canadian government’s, at all levels, unwillingness to do anything but talk about housing without action blows my mind. It’s like they never noticed what happened in the US.
This is a good solution, but it needs to come with some significant cash transfers for people most immediately harmed (e.g. via universal basic income), and with a significant public commitment to build affordable walkable neighborhoods with world-class public transit.
> if a precinct is in reasonable danger of falling into someone else’s hands then it makes sense to destroy sensitive data.

Maybe. If there is no reasonable way to safely move the sensitive material to someplace safe. Of course, the set of situations ever where that would be the case and it would be even practical to destroy the material rather than abandoning it to effect a safe retreat is really stunningly narrow. You can construct highly-contrived scenarios, but...
Yup. Not a very convincing analysis.

There was another study that determined that gentrification actually benefited low income, in particular those who owned property (which is not a small number).

>In high-demand areas it's the land that's valuable, not the structures on the land

There's an old saying, tax something, get less of it. Often used to support some atavistic conservative position, it nonetheless seems relevant here.

1. We want more affordable housing.
2. The cost of land is a major problem.
3. So, tax the land value mostly out of existence and don't tax the improvements at all.

It may sound crazy but why not give it a go? The key idea is that land is the one thing that you don't get less of when you tax it. Nor can you get more of it by taxing it less.

This is not my idea, it's based on economic ideas over a century old, although I wouldn't go so far as to say the only tax should be land value. Just maybe see if specifically real estate and its taxes could be unfucked in this way.

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

This is almost too perfect:

"One day in 1871 George went for a horseback ride and stopped to rest while overlooking San Francisco Bay. He later wrote of the revelation that he had:

I asked a passing teamster, for want of something better to say, what land was worth there. He pointed to some cows grazing so far off that they looked like mice, and said, "I don't know exactly, but there is a man over there who will sell some land for a thousand dollars an acre." Like a flash it came over me that there was the reason of advancing poverty with advancing wealth. With the growth of population, land grows in value, and the men who work it must pay more for the privilege"
I think you've just illustrated the problem with laissez faire economics. It rewards only efficiency (and short term efficiency at that - resilience is often not accounted for), even if that's not what people might choose (they can choose otherwise, but not for long becauss those other modalities will be outcompeted out of existence).

We could have a way out of this if we restructured our economy so that decision making power didn't solely rest with owners of capital, and taxed companies ina more strongly progessive manner to prevent winner-takes-all situations. That would enable companies to make decisions that were not solely for financial reasons and allow for more diversity in business models and practices.

The nuclear stockpile bit is kind of true, although it's sort of true, HEDP systems are the only way in a controlled setting to create nuclear level conditions without setting off a nuke. That said, NIF at least from the energy perspective just like ITER was just to push the research forward than it was to produce break-even fusion in 10 years. If you really want that you'll need gobs of money, probably even beyond the level of things like the LHC. The reason we don't have fusion in either field (MCF or ICF) is because we don't fund it to that level.

The problem is that for these companies, they're in danger of being burdened by copyright issues, as somehow everyone forgets that designs are copyrightable in Europe, and unlike programmers most designers don't really want legal uncertainties when it comes to their designs (because it's damaging in their circles). If they're designing from scratch, they hold those design copyrights and designers can rest easy knowing that they won't get sued.

I wouldn't worry about interviewers frowning on your startup, as long as you're learning. The ones who will you won't want to work for. I have seen interviewers make the mistake of thinking someone is inexperienced just because they haven't 'worked on a team of X size' but as long as you can talk about the technical side and what you did/learned you should be fine.

>possibly even the team that runs the app can't just give people access for the asking. They have to demonstrate some genuine business need in a way that's sufficient to satisfy the security department, and the security department might need to be involved.

Is that seriously thing? I've often known a security team to demand that something go behind an ACL, and to set some general standards for the management of that ACL (periodic reviews, expiring inactive users, etc), but never to get involved about specific members.
That's good point ... I just figured it was a little bit more of an inclusive term since it does handle stitching the frames together. But agreed that it could be more clear.
The point is that moving people to far-flung low-density suburbs with >1-hour car commutes (and a need to make all other trips by car) is also very polluting and resource inefficient, compared to locating people where they can commute quickly on foot, bicycle, or public transit.

Better is to build a serious transit network with regular fast access to the city center, with dense neighborhoods near transit stations (3–6 story apartment buildings for at least a couple blocks surrounding each station). Look to Japan for an example of how to do zoning and urban planning at a national scale.
great way to make the poors poorer and make poors pay for a problem that richer folks tend to create. This would effectively create a tax on the poor, as poors are the ones that live further away the pockets of work.
Higher density indeed tends to be more resource efficient. The problem is much of what is called a "big city" in the US is a sprawl of low-density suburbs that, due to their city planning, require more driving to get to anything than, say, if you lived in a small town.
> Why? People need to get to work, so they drive. Two hour commutes in carbon-spewing cars happen because people can't afford to live near their work.

The emissions of all consumer cars together is a drop in the bucket compared to other CO2 sources.

It's not "wrong", you're just parsing it differently. The title means that the poor don't enjoy any additional benefits from that growth, since their expenses scale accordingly; thus theie net growth in disposable income is "nothing at all".
To clarify, putting my own words to what I think you're implying:

The Economist is pushing the dishonest narrative that there's an employee shortage, when actually there's a glut of greedy "we don't want to pay higher wages" employers.

The Economist is, therefore, enabling these greedy employers.

All this does is siphon money from people, and increase people's desperation.

It's not like you can just choose to not work anymore. If your job is a long commute away that's money you have to spend no matter what on transport.

There often aren't other options. Most transit in North America sucks inside cities and doesn't serve outlying areas very well at all.

Long commutes are an effect of companies centralizing in big urban areas. They don't care how long it takes their workers to get to the office as long as they don't have to pay for it.

Maybe make companies responsible for their employees gas, insurance, and commute times, you might see satellite offices spring up all over the place in more rural areas so their workforce has smaller commute times.
I agree. I do think the fundamental design of Facebook makes it unlikely to ever have positive, fact-based discussions at scale. FB is built to optimize engagement and nothing beats outrage for engagement so any group over a certain size will trend more towards the extreme.

That would be rare, because rapidly increasing property values are almost always driven by rapidly increased demand. The municipal government has to expand its expenditures to meet this demand, usually ahead of when it receives expanded revenue. Generally speaking, it's much more expensive to grow quickly than slowly.
This assumes that people have a choice in their daily commutes. Unfortunately the majority do not, if gas went to 30 dollars a gallon many would be forced to sleep in cars/tents closer to the office.

Starbucks won’t cover 400 dollar daily commutes for baristas in downtown SF.
I do agree it’s hard, I’d love to know though, if there was a way for you to use the tool internally. How would you envision that happening, could it be a plugin, something working side by side JIRA perhaps?

> For those concerned about the potential of climate change to severely harm our society

IMHO they should heavily focus on the most impacting forces to climate change, which are industrial emissions. Or really, we could try to think of any huge impact environmental crisis, and come to the conclusion we should do something about industrial accountability as they represent more than 90% of the volume in most cases.

> This meant your employer would routinely check up on all aspects of your personal life. Your pay was docked if you weren't married, you home was too dirty, you didn't save enough of your wages, you didn't speak English well enough, your kids weren't regularly attending school, and if you got drunk after work.

Employers can demand you give them urine, blood or hair samples to prove that you haven't smoked a joint sometime within the last 30 days. They can give you psychological assessments, and personal value assessments, and deny you employment based on the results. Sometimes they assess the level of your conformity, by assessing how well you'll fit into their culture.

They can deny employment based on your credit score, or via private background checking companies that don't have to give them accurate information about you. They can use your biometrics to track you, and they can hand those biometrics to private companies like Clearview AI[1] to track you outside of work. While you're at work, they can point several cameras at you, recording everything you do and say from multiple angles, and storing it indefinitely. Some companies will spy on you with monitoring apps on your phones and computers, a risk that goes up exponentially if you need certain apps to do your job, or if you're using company equipment. If they don't like what you're doing, they'll fire you.

I liked your comment. I feel the concept we need to completely destroy is that real estate is a store of wealth.

We should try for the opposite, to make housing as affordable as possible (via the free market).

The main ways to do this are abolish:

zoning,

minimum parking restrictions,

minimum unit size,

Eliminate free street parking,

Eliminate mortgage interest tax deduction and anything else designed to favor ownership over renting.

Then, after we do that:

- start building large rotating space habitats, so we can start building effectively infinite living space, and fit a trillion humans in our local area of the solar system.
The design oddly makes me take it more seriously.
No context here so I have to assume it's possible: why not include it in the automated test suite?
Their argument would be that J works differently, and once you internalize how it works, many hard problems become tractable. Their slogan is something like, "understand the problem, and it's done" -- meaning that once you understand the problem, the second step of translating the solution into code is near-trivial.

I would argue that's at least partially because J programmers are in general incredibly smart. (I don't count myself as a J programmer.)

Would be nice to note the thing you linked to was written by yourself, for full disclosure.
IMHO this is a terrible idea, because I guarantee you they’d screw up the categorization of “topics”.

How granular should a “topic” be? “Financial services” isn’t gonna cut it. Or how about medical sites? “Medical” or “health” are useless mean-nothing buckets, while “rectal bleeding” may be too granular.

Ditto the issue of topic visit frequency - sure, someone visiting shoe sites multiple times is a thing, but how often is someone going to look for, say, mortgage loans? ~90%+ of people only gather two offers for home loans, for example. They can get that on one site in one visit. But they may have read a ton about it before on sites that may only have been tagged as “financial content” or some wish washy label.

Data structuring for topics, occupations, etc. online or offline has almost never succeeded. Ever. I have never seen anyone do it well and I work in an industry that depends on it.

Oh, and don’t even get me started on sets…

Making this the basis for targeting is really only going to help sell shoes, fashion, porn, jewelry, and cars.
Exactly. $15/hr with $2k/mo of rent is entirely unaffordable (that would mean $2,400/mo in wages, or 80% of total pay). And that’s less than half the median wage nationally.

That makes the argument that NYC is unaffordable even stronger.

Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation (2007)
Correct.

But, the reason I'm bitching about it is because, in most languages, you then cannot use your Username type in place of a "native" string, where some third-party or standard library function just expects a string. So now you have to convert back and forth.

And if this is a language like pre-record Java, fucking forget it. Define the class, implement equals(), implement hashCode(), write a getter for the wrapped string so that you can pass its guts to functions that expect strings, write the constructor. Speaking of the constructor, do you let the constructor throw an exception? Do you make the constructor private and write a factory function? Does that factory throw an exception or return a failure value? Checked exception or unchecked exception?

Now do that everywhere that you want a "newtype".

Is it possible? Absolutely. I've done it. Is the amount of effort for such a simple concept reasonable? No.

And my other point is that I actually want a non-empty string MUCH more often than I want a potentially-empty string.

I think that programmers are especially prone to just internalizing bullshit and papercuts. We like "solving puzzles" and we're pretty smart and adaptable. So when we encounter something that's actually kind of insane, but we eventually figure out a workaround, we completely forget that it was ever insane in the first place (see: Gang of Four patterns).
