> I doubt a 2 mile commute could take 45 minutes. It should take... 12 minutes. Let's call it 15.

We can look this up. For instance, going from somewhere random in Tribeca to a random bar 2 miles away is a 42 minute walk or a 37-42 minute bus ride (with 1 change, with busses running every 15 minutes). This is a good example of a failure mode if the bus doesn't go exactly where you want it to.

What if you do a perfect straight line single bus for 2 miles from Tribeca it's still 24 minutes, with busses every 15 minutes, so between 24-39 minutes.

The subway option is much faster (original comment is comparing busses to subways)

You were just told that your plan will cause people to become homeless and your response is “I’ll worry about them when they’re homeless.” You’re a perfect politician: make plans with no thoughts to unintended consequences even when you’re warned about them.
Yeah, sorry, I meant to say I totally agree with you. I mentally explain this to myself every time I see it; 1 hour to understand what the % means, 5 seconds to actually read the article. It's terrible.

One way would be for Apple to offer a web API endpoint for companies that have signed an agreement with them (covering rate limits, server identification certificates, liability, etc.).

In fact, the API could be implemented in iOS itself, so you could have something like "Signal support for iMessage" as an app in the App Store, which would basically be a headless version of the Signal app which delegates all the UI tasks (mainly message display and input) to the iMessage app.

A long time ago, I worked on a such a system that provided service-based billing for an industry where rates were very fluid. Having this "at any point in time" view of key data was essential for many things.
Yeah, that's a great point, and a source of bias. On top of that, it would be a real contortion for me to claim that NYC's public transit is even remotely accommodating to people with disabilities.
In this moment looks like a stalemate, but can evolve rapidly.
In a recession some people suddenly are eager for any job, no matter how bad, driving down Uber's "cost of goods sold" i.e. driver fees..

But in general economic downturns are tricky, as they affect different groups differently - are the people who would suffer in a recession the same people who are currently using Uber?
It may be what property taxes are designed to do but the social agreement that allows them is that taxes are designed to raise funds, not force people out of their homes. The Romans tried this. They ended up with their citizen farmers walking off the land because of the taxes, and ended up going from some of the most advanced farmers to not being able to feed themselves.

Interesting thought, I had to think of what kind of places these are. Maybe urbanized bedroom communities or connected suburbs like Naperville in Illinois? Where do you live?
If you just view VCs as any other business, it involves revenue (exits) and costs (investments). The market turmoil is affecting the volume and size of exits in at least the short term, which means they are cutting costs. It's not clear the number of opportunities have grown/shrank but i guess fewer people trying to invest means the number of available opportunities to you as a player has grown.
Is there any data to suggest whether public belief that a civil war is imminent is indicative of a civil war actually being imminent?
My strong suspicion is that this will completely fuck over the elderly and marginalized communities.

It also requires property owners to do EXTENSIVE research and information gathering CONSTANTLY to ensure that the number they put down is reasonable.

Many of them literally can't (ex: my 87 year old Neighbor Phylis doesn't care what her house is worth, because she plans to die in it, and isn't seeking to maximize utility. Instead she wants to pass peacefully in the house she remembers raising her kids in, and has lived in for the last 50 years. She has no car, is in a wheelchair, and uses basically no online services - how is she going to go evaluate the right value for her house?).

Basically - this plan sounds great for 5 seconds and then you realize people would literally revolt the second you pass it.
The Hero in the Age of Secondary Orality
In many states low income seniors can opt out of property taxes and take a lien on the house instead. This way they feel zero tax pressure no matter what happens to the local economy.

Well, applying "zugzwang" means you only win because the opponent has to do a move and cannot skip their turn.

When black has a winning strategy, black already applies "zugzwang" for white's very first move: Black only wins because white has to make a move. If white could skip, black would not win.

> Edit: it may be that the statement "without Zugzwang" implicitly (or perhaps by definition) means you are allowed to skip moves?

Yes. It's not well defined, but I'd say a non-zugzwang win is a win (or rather a winning position) where you would also win when your opponent can skip their turn. A zugzwang win is a win that is not a non-zugzwang win.

That was my intial reaction as well but then I thought, if the AI can't make sense of it then a human probably wouldn't either. So, I guess a tool like this can serve to check if code is actually readable. I think variables names play a big role in this (i.e. communicate intent).

Two-thirds of respondents (67.2%, 95% CI 66.1%, 68.4%) perceived ″a serious threat to our democracy,″ but more than 40% agreed that ″having a strong leader for America is more important than having a democracy″ and that ″in America, native-born white people are being replaced by immigrants.″ Half (50.1%) agreed that ″in the next few years, there will be civil war in the United States.″ Among 6,768 respondents who considered violence to be at least sometimes justified to achieve 1 or more specific political objectives, 12.2% were willing to commit political violence themselves ″to threaten or intimidate a person,″ 10.4% ″to injure a person,″ and 7.1% ″to kill a person.″ Among all respondents, 18.5% thought it at least somewhat likely that within the next few years, in a situation where they believed political violence was justified, ″I will be armed with a gun″, and 4.0% thought it at least somewhat likely that ″I will shoot someone with a gun.″
I think their remote pay is based on some kind of survey of local salaries? There's no tech jobs near me, so I guess they picked up the next-best-thing which was maybe like call centre workers or something? It was so low I wouldn't recommend to a new-grad, and this was for senior level. When you looked they also had these peculiar small islands of higher pay - so I guess it's really pay by what you can negotiate and they create an island for you if you're important enough?

8,620 respondents, but I don't see how they were recruited or how potential bias was accounted for.

Given how weird some of the internet surveys have been in the past year, I don't take singular polls all that seriously. These polls seem to end up extremely skewed toward subjects who overestimate small probabilities.

For a reality check, consider that 1/8th of respondents said they would be willing to commit political violence themselves and 7.1% of respondents said they'd be willing to kill someone over politics.

> 12.2% were willing to commit political violence themselves ″to threaten or intimidate a person,″ 10.4% ″to injure a person,″ and 7.1% ″to kill a person.″

And to cap it off, 4% of respondents were pretty sure they were going to kill someone soon:

> and 4.0% thought it at least somewhat likely that ″I will shoot someone with a gun.″

Yeah, I don't think so. This feels like a survey of people who consume too much news and social media and have become increasingly disconnected from the reality on the ground.

> only applications which have emerged are crime and wild speculation.

Every. Fucking. Thread.

I was using Bitcoin in 2012 as a means to transfer money between US and Brazil, using perfectly legal exchanges, and that was costing me less than any bank or remittance service would charge me. Was that "crime" or "wild speculation"?

When someone in Argentina can receive payments in USD-equivalent crypto without having to deal with the bullshit manipulated exchange rate from the government, is that "crime" or "wild speculation"?

When someone wants to use crypto to accept payments because PayPal cut them off without reasonable explanation, is that "crime" or "wild speculation"?

There is always someone who is going to throw this "there is no use case" line, and you can be sure that is someone who has no clue what they are talking about.

Use cases already exist. It's not just because your privileged bubble never saw it that it doesn't mean they are not valid. And what I am saying is just the tip of the iceberg. As the UX around scaling solutions improve and transaction fees come down, more use cases will be possible (micropayments, streaming subscriptions, NFTs as authz/authn for services), and I can bet that you will still be talking like "no use cases exist".

There are plenty of things to criticize, but this shit you are doing is tiring, man. Can you please at least find something where you have a chance of being right?

Yes, people who have the property value go up around them should be kicked out of their homes. Goodbye old people and minorities who live in affordable neighborhoods that become gentrified.

> So your answer is to dismiss my position without evidence?

My evidence is your evidence. If you're arguing that a parcel of land increases in value due to the existence of improvements on neighboring parcels, then so, too, would improvements on the parcel in question be more valuable (since they're already built in a desirable location). Hence: the impact for land tax + improvement tax would be worse under your premise than the impact for land tax alone.

In reality, the "niceness" of surrounding homes is hardly a factor; proximity to economic centers (be it directly or by proximity to rapid transit) is typically one of the two primary drivers of land values (the other being geography).
Isn't all that it just works software "driver quality"? If we were talking about a graphics card that couldn't detect monitor resolution and keep connected, we wouldn't give the card a pass just because it is a driver issue.

I don't see an ACTUAL (declared) civil war happening. None of the participants actually could I think, nor would they benefit from taking anything.

Would Texas try to actually take Washington DC? Nah. Could they? No chance.

Would the Feds do anything but setup sanctions/blockades and wait for Texas to beg to come back if they tried to leave? Nah. They might arrest a few key leaders or 'leak' a bunch of embarrassing intel too, of course.

Simmering 'fuck yous' and 'civil disobedience' I see building though, with the occasional unhinged terrorist, and a lot of folks haven't deal with conflict enough to see the difference between that and civil war.

in the tech job market generally, the value of the work to the company puts an upper bar on a salary, but competition with other employers for the same worker puts a lower bar on salary (obviously along with other factors like the company's reputation, mission, benefits). In practice all salaries are set by the latter rule, which means they depend on the job market, which varies by location. That salaries should not depend on location is a fantasy based on some weird idea of people getting "paid what they deserve"—a fallacious association between your salary and your worth as a person, which people would do well to get over.
