I always thought the low property taxes in NYC were twofold:

1. The absolutely staggering incomes at the top top end in NYC make income taxes a more effective revenue source.

2. In addition to property taxes, if you own an apartment in a building, there are a lot of other monthly costs. As I’m writing to this, it occurs to me that they may be completely equivalent to the maintenance costs on a house, but I suspect that condo and co-op boards are not nearly that efficient.
If there are any Macy's still around, that is.

Except you're pulling that out of thin air with no proof and clearly no idea what kind of comp packages the average person has. Stripe isn't even a public company, how do you think she made all that money?

And she joined Stripe in 2015, when the company was already five years old. Whatever equity she received would be a pittance and issued at relatively high strike prices (Stripe had very favorable 409a's), and it's very unlikely for her role and experience level to be worth more than a year-or-two of salary.
I'd rather pay costs where they're owed personally
True, stop and frisk is just one of many ways broken windows policing can aggressively target the people, when what's actually needed is to target the environment. Policing has a role in cleaning up run down areas, but it's a small one compared to the infrastructure, urban planning, and landscaping improvements needed to reduce crime. Too much/aggressive policing is just another broken window that needs fixing. It signifies that the area is a bad part of town and sets that area apart from the nicer parts of the city.

It's interesting that you refer to the interurbans as "streetcars." It has me wondering: at what point do you stop thinking of something as a streetcar and start thinking of it as light rail?
Then it sounds like we have found ourselves a problem that is unsolvable both by OS-level protections and App Store review restrictions, and perhaps we should look beyond to other ways to rein in Uber.

> Once a user grants me permission to send them push notifications because they want to know when their ride shows up, you can't really stop me from pushing them ads through the same channel.

Wait, can't an improvement upon the OS be to make it more granular so that Uber is forced to establish separate permissions channels for rides (vital) vs. ads (not-so-vital), and that every time a notification of a certain type appears, the user is given the option to mute that channel entirely?
> why would they pay more for someone from San Francisco?

I can't answer for GitLab, but widely, people often believe that San Francisco has an "exceptional" talent pool and that companies pay a premium for that because of competition.
For me, Windows 7 is the peak in terms of UI/UX. It has been refined over many years, and it was close to perfect, so much that between later versions, nothing changed much. In Windows 7, changes were mostly cosmetic, taking advantage of modern graphics hardware and it was good. So it is certainly a good guide.

Windows 8 broke everything and we still havent recovered. I blame mobile devices, as designers now try to offer a similar experience on mobile and desktop devices, which is a good thing, except it is almost impossible to do well.

I don't know much about the Apple ecosystem, I am sure it is great, but did they survive the mobile apocalypse and managed not to mess things up?
Discord's phone verification is ridiculous, buggy, and insane. Sorry, Discord, but nearly everyone with a phone has a single phone number. Also, once you verify with one phone number there is something like a seven- or ten-day waiting period (forgive me; I don't remember the actual number) before you can use it to verify another account.

Time for Discord to be disrupted!
I seem to recall that if you hit Ctrl-F again you get the regular native find-in-page, don't you?

Or do you mean that because of the dynamic nature of the page, browser find doesn't really work especially well sometimes? That's probably not super-meaningfully different than the classic forum setup where what you're looking for may be on a different page altogether.

It might be interesting to find an image in the training set with a long, very unique description, and try that exact same description as input in DALL·E 2.

Of course it's unlikely to produce the exact same image, or if it does, you've also discovered an incredible image compression algorithm.
“The Design of Everyday Things” by Don Norman is excellent; he originally called it “The Psychology of Everyday Things,” but it kept getting misshelved. “Don’t Make Me Think” by Steve Krug is also very good. Neither of these is a specialist’s tome.

“Mental Models” by Indi Young is good, one level deeper, mostly about humans. “About Face” by Alan Cooper is very thorough on the practitioner side, more of a college textbook, with lots of examples and pedagogy.

Bitcoin has seen several 80%+ crashes and bounced back.

It is all in the demand.

A lot of that 80% flucuation is made up of short term speculators.

But some people are hardcore holders, and others use it because their national currency is worse (Venezuela, Sri Lanka).

Couple that with the network effects (BTC is the largest still), and that's all it takes for the price not to go to zero.
It's a reminder to not use face verification and that proper password locking should occur after a period of time.
Most subscriptions here are paid via direct debit, which the app detects and groups under a "fixed expenses and subscriptions" category. If the charge is considered a subscription, they let you fill a generic form with some details about yourself (i.e. Address, Email, Phone, CustomerID ...) to request it be cancelled.

I reckon the bank(s) requires payment providers to handle this as part of the integration for recurrent debit authorizations.
Ask HN: How do you keep file archives going back 20 years organized?
How do you deal with organizing files personally or for your business? What is your system and how do you regularly re-organize everything so you can always find what you need quickly? Do you keep everything on your desktop, laptop, or do you have dedicated small PCs for certain types of files? What file systems and what OSes? How do you share files and collab with your spouse? What do you do for networking, maintenance, backups etc?

My guess is the change will be gradual enough (in human terms) that adaptation for many of us won't be terribly hard.

The exceptions are large catastrophic events like hurricanes, which will sporadically destroy whole communities.
Depends on the context that it's brought up in. If you're just interjecting that fact, then yeah, I could see that being perceived as islamaphobia. That view is consistent, when a person from gender x is expressing their experience, and gender y comes along to add on that "gender x does it too" the outcome is similar, and vice versa. These are new-ish social standards, but I think reasonable if you're trying to create a space where everyone has the opportunity to share while staying topic focused in a thread. I can also see why it's potentially confusing for unknowing participants.

Tons and tons of organizations. It's extremely common.

It makes more sense when you consider that companies mostly don't experience market effects internally, but operate much more like the Soviet Union, and that, especially for very large companies, the effects of external competition are rather less than ideally efficient, to put it mildly. Throw in a heaping spoonful of principal-agent problems up and down every organization, the fact that information is very far from perfectly available and distributed to managers, and more than a little good ol' incompetence, and it'd be weird if it wasn't common.
Down rounds are bad for employee morale too since it puts previously issued options below water. It's probably worth it to re-issue equity, but that's messy and a lot of companies don't do it.

Even if this is provable, why not have a progressive property tax rate? Owner occupied properties can be charged half the rate of rented properties. Rather than increase it for everyone and making it harder on the very people who are likely to sell it to a speculative investor.

I wonder if there are copyright implications here. Do you own the copyright to the image that your phone takes of your face? What about the data that is created when you initially register your biometric?

Also, when the unlock process is checking for a match, is it creating a derivative work? Would this legal argument hold any more weight if you formally registered the copyright? (You'd think that two people taking two pictures of a vaguely similar public subject on different days could not amount to a copyright violation, but a court might disagree[0]).

Finally, does someone registering (or unlocking a device with) their biometrics grant a licence to or even ownership of that data to the company who manufactured the device? It would be interesting if the FBI had to request permission from Apple to create a derivative work of "their" copy of your face stored in their/your device.

I'm not quite understanding this argument. If you prefer to stay behind a "walled garden", then you still can. The difference being that you will personally enforce your own preferences for all things dictated or suggested by Apple versus Apple imposing what they want upon everyone. The "walled garden" will be your own mentally imposed constraint.

Though you and various others might prefer the "walled garden", that is not to say that all Apple users prefer it that way. Clearly, as jailbreaking demonstrates, there are significant numbers of iPhone users that didn't and don't want to stay behind Apple's jail or wall.

As an American citizen who listens to talk radio on roadtrips, I've thought that we were headed towards a civil war as early as Obama's presidency. I largely kept that prediction to myself, but it turns out that a lot of Americans feel that way or even want it to happen. My prediction was largely based on the language that radio hosts and call-ins were using to describe their elected leadership and their fellow citizens. It's gotten worse. Elected politicians are openly talking about civil war. Candidates are talking about hunting their opposition. If you think this narrative is being "pushed" you need to expand your sources of information.
Woah. This comment is hilarious, but it's not the writing.

To what extent are we ripping off the photographers? Weren't the models trained on their hard work?

That's not true, really, in this case with inflation.

There will be no point in taking such low paying jobs. We're already seeing massive shortages at the low end of employment - working for that cheap simply doesn't make economic sense.
100% absolutely agreed. You're paying me for the work I can do for you. If someone else on the team with the same role and JD as me, gets paid more while you expect the _same level of work_ from us both, that's bullshit. Admit then you the company are paying less because you want the cheaper labor and don't complain when I put in less effort thsn the other person you're paying more. Paid for effort and knowledge, not the goddamn city I live in. If it's the same job, it should pay the same wage. Period.
I’m a developer since 30 years and I love the iOS walled garden. Not because I hate choice but because I don’t want my phone to be a computer. I want it to be a dumb appliance. Same with my car or my refrigerator. It might be a computer, but I want the one that shows that the least which is currently iOS.

I choose to let Apple be my nanny and police the apps. That’s the choice. Does everyone need to be forced to make that choice? No. But the reason the platform is nice and polished is largely because they can make hundreds of millions run the same thing.

Saying IBM has faded in relevance is absolutely farcical.

I've often calculated how long I'd have to spend on mass transit to get to some desireable event and back - and decided, reluctantly, to skip it. Because the waits+rides would take longer than the event lasted.

Seems like it might make it harder to compete due to all the new rules, but I haven't dug into it for the details.
After 9/11, when mass violence happened on American soil and the cultural atmosphere became one that was paranoid for safety and ready to fight, exacerbated by the divisive War in Iraq, all bets were off.

Not to mention 2000 was also the presidential election that would throw all future elections into doubt.
If that was the actual cause, you'd expect to see surging demand for sources offering better reporting, but that's obviously not what's happening. Instead, the fall in trust in traditional media coincides with a rise in popularity of alternative sources of information that are objectively less trustworthy, less accurate, and less interested in unbiased reporting.

I think there's definitely an argument to be made that the New York Times or CNN aren't great at the whole reporting thing (although I suspect I'd make a different argument than you would), but I don't buy that's why trust in them is going down if the alternatives people are turning to are Breitbart and a Blue Lives Matter Facebook group. People don't want less activism and more reporting, they just want activism they agree with.
From the blog posts, it seems to me that he is not very keen on writing. I could be wrong. But when you start finding an excuse a day not to do what you theoretically think you should do, maybe the theory is wrong.
Maybe he likes the idea of being a writer, but without being a writer.

Also, writing means many things. There are a lot of books, think of business books, that are written because it is the most effective way to provide a certain kind of information to a wide audience. Watching a video seems like a waste of time before, during, and after.
Reading a book, most of the time, even if the information in it is ridiculous and of poor quality, does not seem like a waste of time.
And there is "writing" like, say, Hemingway, James Salter thought about writing.
Are we talking about "writing" the way Salter intended it or about "presenting information in a book"? Does "I like to write" means "I like to provide information" or it means "I like to use the written word specifically to present ideas"?

Rossellini, the famous director, said that he was not just a film director, but an artist and disseminator using whatever medium he thought was the most appropriate in order to show his ideas or his view of the world.

I have almost stopped reading recent books. I find them formulaic, winking at the "mythical" audience and what they want, which most of the time is cheap entertainment.
There is an author I liked, Adrian McKinty, who had written a series of books set in Belfast at the time of the Troubles. It was a joy to read them. They were erudite and had a great rhythm. But he found himself forced to become an Uber driver to pay the bills--the books were not selling.

Then, with the support of Don Winslow and Winslow's agent, he was able to break through with a book, The Chain, which was so formulaic, poorly written and full of the adjectives and adverbs that make college-educated people drool, that I found it hard to recognize him as the same author of the series set in the Troubles era. It was very good for him and disappointing for me.

I am now reading novels written between the 1930s and the 1960s, and although each decade has its sins, I sense that most authors were not that much concerned about their audience, were not corrupted by literary agents and book clubs, but wrote what they, and not others, wanted to write.

I dunno, I'm starting to see the world as more and more complex (aka many inputs contribute to many outputs) and yet maybe too complex for us as humans so we latch onto one input causing one output.

I see lots of side road construction in the northern Detroit suburbs, the interstates have been under major construction for at least 2-3 years, and overall, it seems as if there's lots of construction. Is it from Whitmer? From the feds? From local cities? I don't know, probably a combination of all three and more.

Same with why the street cars disappeared. I think our anger/fear can make us think it was one and only one group or person who made such things happen, I just think that's probably a subjective perspective more than an objective reality.

Edit: also I hadn't heard of Whitmer giving money to GM, could you share a link about that? All I can find is that she helped GM make their own $7B investment in Michigan.
