> Exempting the implicit value of rent is a subsidy favoring owner occupied housing.

When I go kayaking it costs me $35/hr for renting the kayak, which is income for the rental store and (presumably) they pay income tax on that.

Except I don't really pay because I bought my own kayak so I get to go for free whenever.

Your proposal amounts to abolishing the whole concept of property ownership.
>You will have put money into the property to keep its value up

You're ignoring what was written: if the building has value 0, then it is not maintained to keep the value up. Of you kept the value up, then it would not have an effective price of 0.

Of course most people put money into properties exactly to keep value up.

>also writing off all of those expenses

Writing off expenses does not make them free - you are still paying for them - out of otherwise profit. It just means you get taxed on net profit instead of taxed on property gross income. But you are still losing money.

Writing off expenses is not some free money giveaway.

The point was to illustrate that OP ignored costs involved for landlords in the thought experiment.
Tiananmen protesters were mostly students, young people with a lot of prospects in life, usually from a better-off families who could afford to send children to a university (instead of having them work and keep up the family).

They definitely had much more to lose than Marx's lumpen proletariat.

Of course, now people in China, especially in the rich coastal cities, have dramatically more to lose. They've been shown though that they would be allowed to prosper, as long as they do not try to disobey or even express doubt about CCP's rule. So it's pretty easy for them to convince themselves that CCP's policy is fine enough and not worth protesting against.

A layer on top of something is not something, it's something else.

Dude, you need to chill, you ruined BTC for everyone and now you are hostage to your own failed investment. Remember it was supposed to be cash. Accept your loss and stop lying to people, BTC doesn't work as cash, and neither does LN. Find something else to do with your life.

BCH is not as scam, it's cash, it's advertised as cash, and has always worked perfectly as cash.

BTC and LN are false advertisement.

Our debit cards are used for in-store payments, and literally every single bank allows you to use them for online payments too. We just developed systems which don't depend on handing random people a bunch of "secret" numbers and hoping they don't defraud you.

For example, in The Netherlands *everyone* uses iDeal. Basically, the store does a 302 redirect on checkout to your bank, sending along the money owed and the destination account. The bank authenticates the user, confirms that they indeed want to pay it, and redirects back to the store. It... just works!

Not all, but a lot of fraud can be prevented with good 2FA. Chip+pin is usually hard enough for low effort fraudsters, and it's tried and tested in large parts of the world for decades.

The US has effectively no effective 2FA. Signature is never verfiied in practice, and magnetic strips are dead simple to clone.

> I suppose someone should tell the criminals.

Outside of the US, the banks do tell the criminals - otherwise the banks would be the hook. This is the fundamental difference between the US and the RoW: in the US, fraudulent withdrawals are the depositors problem[1] which banks don't expend too much effort into, elsewhere, it's the banks' problem, consequently banks go the extra mile to prevent fraudulent withdrawals, and when it does happen, are quick to make the depositor whole.

1. This and "identity theft" are emblematic of a mostly American tendency to pass the buck (and losses) to the least powerful and least informed entity (the depositor) for fraud committed against financial institutions using depositor's information.
Isn't that like the same thing they said before both World War I and II? That the world and trade was too interconnected so that war couldn't break out.

The ARM ecosystem is really hobbled by the lack of a standard boot loader and device tree mechanism, and the RISC-V ecosystem is heading down the same path.

There are several good Open Source implementations of IEEE-1275 Open Firmware available now (see https://github.com/openbios for some). Everyone should just use it instead of implementing their own solutions, to keep the boot loader independent of the operating system while still ensuring broad functionality.
Not saying you should but can’t you stack the power walls to bring you to off grid?
You can't compare the difficulty of faking a real human entering a ballot into an observed sealed container, during a short period of a day, versus just faking an output of a machine and then faking unobserved stacks of paper which have all be gathered into a centralized location and then left for months, and then when irregularities are found they are simply ignored.

The first requires a high number of conspirators per votes faked. You will at best get a ratio of hundreds of votes per conspirator. The second only requires a handful of conspirators with good access to essentially overturn entire elections with leads of hundreds of thousands of votes.

And it's not even the electronic part that is the most crucial. The fact that a single election worker is officially in charge of the integrity of tens of thousands votes, only made possible with the assistance of the machine, is the real issue here. That machine could've been 100% OK but it's not designed to protect against the election worker - on the contrary, it's designed to give him oversized power.

All you need to realize the farce is just watch a video where a single person counts tens of thousands of votes, and see the officials response to the video is to admit that indeed that is what happened, but "the votes were legitimate". A single person isn't responsible for thousands of votes in a real democracy.
1. Most places don't charge extra for a credit card payment.

2. Most cards have a cash-back arrangement, where you earn credits for what you spend.

Together, that means you're generally not paying anywhere even close to 3%.

I'm not sure what the situation is in the US, but farmers north of the border get upset when their livestock is ordered to be destroyed due to disease. So yeah, there is probably lobbying. It's simply not for the reasons implied.

The article touched upon other illegal imports due to invasive species, such as wood products. I doubt that there is a wood carver's lobby that is trying to have the work of foreign craftsmen banned. They don't need such a lobby since once an alien species (or disease) gets a foothold it is near impossible to stop and very difficult to slow.
I wasn’t specific enough.

My point was that people are inconsistent due to the intersection between their advocacy and their own sense of nationalism. The issues are amplified when they pertain to Americas enemies and lessened when it pertains to Americas Allies.

Less than 5 years ago, the Hongkong retail bank system used to charge about 50 HKD to transfer money online to another local bank. Absolute highway robbery / price fixing. Most absurd: Writing a check was free. Can you imagine the comparative operational cost??? Later, the central bank introduced an free, instant, money transfer system, and forced all banks to join. Paying my rent suddenly dropped 50 HKD per month!

Cool article, funny to think about people smuggling bologna but it makes sense!

Really got a kick out of the part where they mentioned people insisting on Mexican mayonnaise - mostly because it’s a contrast to a recent nytimes article about Mac salad on Hawaii where the interviewee insisted something like “it HAS to be Hellman’s mayo”.

I’m not a bologna fan (or spam fwiw) but can someone smuggle up some choriqueso tacos for me please?

Not if your VPN is not encrypted, which exists, although it isn't very common anymore, for obvious reasons.

The IP address "10.1.1.1" is still part of IANA's private IP address space, no matter whether it is transported in a way (say using an unecrypted tunnel over the public Internet) that provides privacy or not.
Same manufacturers in different country. I can't see a big change here.
It's when you tell your credit card company that a specific charge was not valid. Generally because the person/company it was too did not fulfill their end of the transaction. Generally, you're not responsible for the charge until they've looked into it and determined who they believe is at fault.
The central bank can do that. That's how it works for instant payments in my country (Pix payments in Brazil).

Zelle is owned by the big banks. I wouldn’t call it a “third party”. In particular, it is owned by Bank of America, Truist, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, PNC Bank, Wells Fargo, and US Bank.
Oh that's too bad. The 620N I put in my printer was new-in-box so it came with the original Java based firmware. Yuck. The other reason to look for new firmware is that there were various security issues that were resolved.

Woah, I did not know about India's UPI. And it serves more than India!

Check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Payments_Interface

Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is an instant real-time payment system developed by National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). The interface facilitates inter-bank peer-to-peer (P2P) and person-to-merchant (P2M) transactions.[1][2] UPI is an open source application programming interface (API) that runs on top of Immediate Payment Service (IMPS).[3][4] It is regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and works by instantly transferring funds between two bank accounts on a mobile platform.

Same for me. I've been using emacs now for several years after being a long time vim user. I have never missed vim after switching. Emacs is amazingly powerful. And I never got to a point where Doom felt limiting. I only ever need to make minor customization on top of Doom's packages and it's super easy and I actually like elisp _way_ better than vimscript.

Anyways I don't really care for text editor wars or whatever. I just wanted to second this person's experience with vim -> emacs via Doom Emacs.

I don't think programmers, let alone beginners, worry that much about the best way to solve a problem. Usually they are struggling with any way to solve it at all.

You may get the impression from reading some online Q&A sites that everyone wants "the best" solution because of the way a lot of questions get asked. But in fact, phrases like "a good way" or "the best way" are more often than not purely rhetorical devices whose purpose is to appear competent.

The person is trying to ask the question in a way which suggests that he or she does know how to solve the
problem in ways that are not so great, and is just looking for a better way. In fact, the reason they are asking is that they don't know even a bad way to solve the problem. They may have a partial solution, which has hit some roadblock or whatever.

People in this type of field sometimes have a hard time admitting they don't know how to do something. Particularly if they are not such beginners and have a track record of solving problems on their own, which has become part of their self-image.
> Your post feels like kool aid in "ruthless greed" direction.

I have cited several examples, you cant call it kool aid because it disagrees with your beliefs. Feel free to offer counter examples.

Counter examples I am looking for

1. American support for a democracy that is not conditioned on alignment with NATO.

2. Or equivalently displacement of a dictatorial regime that is aligned with NATO, with a democratic regime that is less or equally aligned with NATO.

I can easily predict with 100% accuracy which faction the US government and media will support from this simple principle of NATO alignment.

The most hilarious example of this was when US fought against ISIS in Iraq, while supporting ISIS in Syria - because they were fighting against Assad(who aligned with Russia). To prevent Americans from cognitive dissonance, ISIS factions in Syria were referred to in US media as "rebels". With US media highlighting and magnifying tweets from Syrian ISIS accounts, when Assad wrested control of Aleppo from ISIS and Al Qaeda affiliated "rebels"

Check out the composition and history of the "rebel" groups.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/12/12/last-rebel...

However, when civilians fled the fled to "regime" (read Assad) controlled areas.

"Yesterday, some residents who couldn’t take the bombardment anymore fled toward regime controlled areas, according to Othman."

Amnesty internationals report directly contradicts US media reporting which blamed civilian casualties on Assad.

"Amnesty International stated that the "armed opposition groups have displayed a shocking disregard for civilian lives", deploying weapons "whose use in the vicinity of densely populated civilian areas flagrantly violates international humanitarian law". The organization called the rebel groups to "end all attacks that fail to distinguish between military targets and civilians"."

More honest reporting outside US media, where Obama and Kerry squirm at the optics of supporting Al Qaeda and ISIS against Assad.

Non US media reports that Kerry acknowledged that US has been supporting "terrorists"

"As the unthinkable was becoming a reality in Aleppo, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry held a day of talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow and agreed to a series of undetermined terms for bilateral cooperation against terrorism in Syria"
Some of the best traveler-focused US rewards cards, like the Chase Sapphire Reserve cards, have no foreign transaction fees, even zeroing out what Visa charges them. And these cards are okay not only with frequent travel but even foreign residential addresses (only for customers who relocate - US address required at initial signup). I have one of those, used it while living in Canada, and soon expect to use it while living in Europe.

They do of course make money by charging a high annual fee, but another commenter already explained how the rewards offered by this card can still give more in value than the annual fee costs. This is absolutely true in my case.

This comparison was not intended as an academic paper. However, we are confident that predicting and evaluating performance over more than 55k series from the M international forecasting competitions (standard benchmarks in the field) is a good start. After corresponding with the author, we included additional data sets from the electricity domain like Ercot and ETTM2. The dataset that did not finish training shows that Neuralprophet simply does not scale. (We let the training run for over 73 hours with 96 CPUs -as NeuralProphet implementation is restricted to CPU-, and we canceled it after investing 288 USD in it) Suggestions to strengthen our experiments (without spending hundreds of dollars) are highly welcomed.

Regarding the hyperparameter selection, we went beyond the
original NeuralProphet paper, tunning and actively trying to help improve its performance. We even made a PR fixing NP bugs in the process.
