I think in some cases your proposal to not call it technical debt is indeed helpful.

But I also think:

1) The term technical debt is here to stay and thus it is helpful to discuss about dealing with this data

2) I worked on multiple projects where we did not called it technical debt but code improvements. We were usually implementing some features with the purpose of testing it with real users as fast as possible and if validated it should be launched to all. In this case we were writing down what we left out from code design to hard coded values so that when the decision to implement the full feature comes to have a good start.

In this case we were still discussing about code improvements and it what healthy for product managers to understand how come we can deploy so fast the feature working well for limited cases/users and then when deploying full scale we just need more time.

I see companies where the business understand this as having an advantage in the market as good code design helps be prepared for changes.
StereoKit doesn't currently do SDF font rendering yet, no, but there is some shader work done to help make existing text a bit clearer than the naive case. It does support Unicode font rendering though, font glyphs are added to the font atlas on-demand to ensure that's a smooth and automatic experience!

The current implementation of SDF conversion is just a tad too slow to make on-demand glyph rendering comfortable right now, so there's a bit of additional optimization work that needs done before we can switch to that. We were just prioritizing language support over text clarity to start with.
You do have to worry about working families losing their houses in gentrifying areas though. The UK gets "property" tax right in the form of council tax. It's low, paid for by the person living in the property, and often is punitively high for the owners of empty properties.

When people say that the US is a "low tax economy" they seem to forget property taxes, which make the effective rate in almost _all_ US states higher than the UK (and much of the rest of Europe) if you own a home. It's just a "poor value for money" economy instead.

> How does Apple have a monopoly?

They have monopoly power and control over app developers' access to iPhone users.

If supermarkets offered a loyalty card program that made it physically impossible for you to shop at another supermarket, then this would be a monopoly/anti-trust issue too, even if no supermarket had a majority share of the market.

The usual response of Apple fans is "You can just buy a second phone", but asking app developers to give away free Android phones to their iPhone-using potential customers is not really a viable competitive strategy.

Last time I looked into this the subsidies were set so that the country as a whole roughly broke even.

Less pollution, lower health costs, living longer, less carbon, less imports, higher efficiency, cheaper energy, cheaper transport.

e.g. the above suggests the owner saves about $6000 and society gets another $10000 dollars on top, over 10 years, 120,000 miles.

But, we'd do even better if we incentivise people to walk, cycle and use public transport because the health benefits of excercise.

So I'm happy with 'road tax' returning for EVs, but mostly because road tax for ICE should always have been much higher than it ever was. Hopefully, e-cargo bikes and similar are incentivise by whatever the new scheme is.

As someone who recently got married I can tell you that anyone in the wedding party who hasn't been married is useless. Total dead weight at best and counterproductive, self-centered a*holes at worst (sorry the venue made you get a covid test Greg). But the ones that have are worth their weight in gold. The behavior, thoughtfulness, and even the toasts are night and day.

For context we really had 6 wedding coordinators the day of (venue coordinator, catering coordinator, MC, actual day-of coordinator + 2 assistants), to give you an idea of how many people are running things behind the scenes. If I had to do it all again I can't say I wouldn't hot swap out some of the wedding party for professionals.
That would be really stupid. The fines are set by courts, not politicians. So by pressuring politicians the US just makes an enemy out of the EU without changing the verdict. Good thing though is that GDPR shows that most European courts try to keep fines low for offenders actin in good faith.

LVTs are a panacea for the concerns paper wealthy.

Dickmann's car does Autobahn (~US freeway) traffic under controlled conditions. It doesn't need to understand junctions or traffic signals, there aren't any. It doesn't need to understand pedestrians, there aren't any. It doesn't need to understand bicycles, there aren't any. What happens if things go wrong? In practice a human takes the wheel, this is not a system capable of safely leaving traffic when it can't cope, so it was never demonstrated without what we'd today call a "safety driver". That's not autonomous self-driving cars minus a little bit more research, it's improved Cruise Control.

Waymo has taxi service. It's losing money doing that, and it's only in a few select places, but it's doing autonomous journeys, with no "safety driver" on city streets. It understands junctions, and traffic signals, pedestrians and cyclists, because on the city streets those things are commonplace. It's doing the hard part.

I think people don't realize how huge these models really are.

When they're free, it's pretty cool. But charge an amount where there's actual profit in the product? Suddenly seems very expensive and not economically viable for a lot of use cases.

We are still in the "you need a supercomputer" phase of these models for now. Something like DALLE mini is much more accessible but the results aren't good enough. Early early days.

After both living in NYC for almost a decade and being a landlord for more than that, there have been some things I always wondered about:

1. "Broker only apartments"

I had read at one point that up to 60% of apartments in NYC were broker only meaning that you couldn't just walk up to the building and ask to see a unit. I think this may have been the case in the past since it was a "win/win" for both the landlord and the broker. For the landlord, they knew that the brokers could act as a filter on "lookey loos" and for the tenants, they knew that the brokers weren't going to show them bait and switch apartments.

I wonder how true any of the above is today given that Street Easy etc has become the defacto centralized listing agency and all of the meta data about an apartment is now public.

2. The function of brokers now

I do still see the need for brokers given the incredibly hot NYC real estate market if only as someone who can go to open houses on behalf of the tenants. It's not uncommon to have open houses with upwards of 20 - 30 people show up and at least half of them be real tenants who are actively looking. If that open house is in the middle of the day, only a broker could go otherwise the prospective tenants would have to take off work

3. Why is the rent so high this year

Couple reasons (I imagine):

- Lots of people locked up 2 year leases in the middle of COVID

- Lots of people spent a year in mom's basement and are now thinking "NEVER AGAIN!"

- Higher interest rates mean people who would be buying may now rent. I think this group is small given the VAST majority of renters skew younger.

- Inflation has led to more cash being around in general
Outside of California "you paid $500k for your house, so we're gonna tax you on $500k" is not how property taxes work. The town/city/county typically does property assessments on regular basis (usually annually). These are based on doing comparisons with like houses in your neighborhood and are equal prone to "2 blocks over is way more desirable".

> this would attract businesses/restaurants to cater to the new residents which would ultimately increase the value of the land and the corresponding taxes

Lot more steps. Developing a property is risky. The double whammy of eating the development cost in addition to increased property tax bill dissuades homeowners from taking the risk. (Yes, theoretically, prices should go down as easily as they go up. In reality, obviously, no, no city does that.)

By the time your land value has increased, you’ve already made money. (Or ridden on your neighbours’ investments.)
Yep. The trouble is the butterfly effect here can be overwhelming.
Open-source has always been a one-way door, and now the price of getting it wrong have increased. But it's not too hard to get it right, that's why I'm suggesting the open-foundation framework here
Why not? Penalize all vehicles based on weight squared. People shouldn't be moving to electric cars if they actually are concerned about climate change. They should strive to replace as many trips as possible with bike commuting and letting the car they already own and works fine sit in the garage collecting dust, versus willing a new one into existence from parts extracted from around the earth and perpetuating an autocentric and consumptive lifestyle.
Google is betting that attrition will slow down because their current employees will have a harder time finding a different job. They also know that in a couple of months, it will be easier to hire great people looking to jump ship
Obviously, it's polluted. Undisputably. In a mathematical sense, an extra (black box) transformation is performed on the input to the model. In a practical sense (eg. if you're researching the model), this is like having dirty laboratory tools - all measurements are slightly off. The presumption by OpenAI is that the measurements are off in the correct way.

I'm interested in using Dall-E commercially, but I think some competitor offering sampling with raw input will have a better chance at my wallet.

Because the term is not allocated specifically to Apple.
The gist of the Washington Post article is they could not hire sufficient staff for the store. They dedicated two recruiters to the task and were still unsuccessful. For the staff they did have, there was "excessive call outs and lack of availability..." I do not have any facts beyond the article, but would not surprise me that an understaffed store (described as in a remote location) would enter a downward spiral that leads to a shut down.
The main problem is that in America, the tax structure is very much tilted in favor of home-owning at the expense of renters, that collectively, the homeowner class is receiving subsidies from the renter class (and the homeowner class already has greater net worth and everything else).

There are multiple ways to reduce the impact of the problem. All of them would reduce property values and some might displace existing homeowners. All redistribution is painful and surely people will lose out, the same way that savers lose purchasing power to inflation. Nevertheless, I think it is a necessary rebalance of a system that has been favoring owning over renting for too long.

(1) Tax on imputed rent when owning (imputed rent should not be pre-tax)

(2) Land Value Tax

(3) Remove the mortgage interest deduction
They already could. DoT and DoH have been part of Android for years now. If you block too many domains, some Android devices might classify your DNS resolver as broken and fall back to Google's (secure) DNS or anything else the manufacturer has specified in their fork.

In fact, I've analyzed several apps that used some kind of binary/text monstrosity over HTTP (not even HTTPS) to resolve IP addresses, usually Chinese manufacturer bloatware. They've been doing this crap for years! When I looked at the apps, the resolver IP had seemingly even been hard-coded into the Java code.

If you think your network is leak-free just because you've blocked port 53, you've either been missing leaks or hadn't had any kind of software actually try to evade your blocks. DoH doesn't add anything that wasn't already possible.

If you want control over your network, block all outgoing traffic and force every device to go through an intercepting HTTPS proxy and apply filtering heuristics like "this looks double encrypted" or "this looks like an IP address". It's practically impossible to do these days because we've lost control over the devices we've bought, though.

It should be noted that there's no sign of this feature being enabled across all Android devices automatically. For most devices, it's an opt-in feature you can toggle in the settings and broken DNS servers won't trigger a fallback. In other words: it doesn't change a thing about your situation, though your situation may not be what you expect it to be.
I don't think torque, tire compound and driving habits can be ignored in a serious analysis.

Also, cheap tires tend to have harder, longer lasting compounds.
Found out recently that Samsung Buds automatically go into pairing mode when you open their case which you do often because they charge in it. There is no way to prevent the behavior. So every time you go to use them all the nearby Windows computers prompt if you'd like to pair them and if you take them out of their case in public there is no way to prevent other people from pairing with them and playing whatever they want. Both the Buds 2 and Buds Pro are like this.

Also have some JayBirds and Bose Sport headphones in a similar form factor and thankfully you have to press a button on them to enter pairing mode.
You might want to look into the practices of police unions. The inability to fire for bad behavior is part of why police forces turn into self serving monstrosities.
> tax free if there are no government services provided on that land

You're still giving the "it's property" framing waaay more credit than it's due. Remember, granting someone exclusivity to a contested resource means preventing other people who would like to use the resource from using the resource. It's entirely reasonable for those people, represented in aggregate by the government, to ask for compensation in return, even if the government provided the landowner no additional services beyond the exclusivity.

The entire concept of "owning" land is just a hustle to argue against paying taxes on it.

I'm sure the novelty wears off. But I'm already coming up with several applications for it.

On the personal side, I've been getting into game development, but the biggest roadblock is creating concept art. I'm an artist but it takes a huge amount of time to get the ideas on paper. Using DALLE will be a massive benefit and will let me expedite that process.

It's important to note that this is not replacing my entire creative process. But it solves the issue I have, where I'm lying in bed imagining a scene in my mind, but don't have the time or energy to sketch it out myself.

I would say it is precisely exactly the same in the vast majority of cases. These jobs exist to help some rich fucks extract even more value from society in a way that benefits them personally at the expense of society. They are worse than useless, they are actively making the world worse.
On the other hand, trucks are often speed-restricted and the tax might need to be on the order of $50k for a 60-foot truck (which would still equate to around $50 for a car). The costs would be passed down to all of the things that trucks are used for, so I suppose the average person wouldn't really pay any less for combined transport+groceries+fuel+household goods, but it might incentivize the use of smaller trucks with lighter axle loads, but that would also mean more drivers/poorer fuel efficiency/more accidents per ton per mile. At the least we should be mindful of the way that motorists are providing a subsidy to the logistics industry (which we indirectly benefit from, as well).
I'm not sure I understand the point you are trying to make.

It's possible to have an opinion on laws that you don't effect oneself. If a country had a law that if a company reaches $1 billion lifetime revenue that it gets repossessed by the state I can apply my belief that stealing is bad and be against that law despite it likely never affecting me.
