As a jaded interviewer (and interviewee) in tech, I will say this works great if you have, for example, a face-to-face meeting and you can demonstrate your interest/passion for the role, but in cover letters or similar email exchanges, you already have people spitting out those fake statements, and it's tedious to distinguish the genuine interest from the fake "I am interested in <insert company name> because you <insert what company does> and believe I am a perfect fit for this job!", especially when you factor in non-native speakers and trying to distinguish between suspicious template text and not-so-great English skills. OP's post example #1 actually highlights how you can make that template text. The amount of application gaming you have to filter out is insane sometimes.
I guess there are two questions:

1. Does school funding come mostly from property taxes?

The answer here in Seattle is yes having seen some breakdown chart in some government document a while back.

2. What determines the amount of property tax?

Thanks for sharing that link about how in Canada the tax collection amount works backwards from a goal amount.

My understanding is that in the US, your property tax is assessed annually and the person doing it presumably uses market comparables to determine the taxable price - I don’t know if they work backwards from a target, but that sounds odd to me.
This is a major, major issue.

Religious people say “there’s a god sized hole in your soul” maybe, but there’s defined a “church sized hole” in American society.

This becomes huge once you have kids. Churches run child care, schools, family activities.

They also service as hubs for ethnic groups.

They’re really important, but so far no secular group has filled the gap.
I would think that over many years of iteration by engineers, both would converge on functioning reliably in the same environment. They're both intended to be integrated into computer systems after all.

Reddit is a good example of an alternative system, and it works because subreddits serve as lower-variance composable streams as well as shared digital spaces. Even though your main feed is partially driven by a recommendation engine, it never contains any content that you didn't subscribe to (ignoring ads, of course). Instead, you may see a "posts from other subreddits" section that breaks up the feed explicitly to offer alternatives. If you're interested in a particular topic, you can drop into that subreddit, where you'll see pretty much the same view as everyone else. In all these cases, you're always in control.

I wouldn't be surprised if Reddit actually has the best data on their user's preferences, because they let them explicitly decide what they want rather than playing this "hot and cold" game like TikTok. Those platforms also only let you subscribe to individual accounts, so they have to infer what your interests actually are.
I mean, why not?

I use both git and Dropbox, because I have multiple devices to sync: laptops, a desktop, and linux servers.

If you use a desktop and a laptop back and forth, git is quite inconvenient. You don't need to commit and push from the desktop to switch to the laptop with a folder level realtime sync solution.

Also, git only protects files that are staged, but Dropbox can restore any files to any point of file event (not periodic snapshot, but it keeps all file events). So combining both you are safe from any kinds of mistakes.

I use Dropbox because Google Drive sync wasn't stable enough for this kind of workflow but I am not sure if it has been improved lately.
Does it offer day care?

Yabai required disabling System Integrity Protection at some point, which has the potential to break your UX (including the ability to login in at all) in various ways and may be flushed out by both standard and unattended upgrades… so I wouldn’t recommend it.
Lol, this one really fooled me.

I mean, after UpStart, Mir, Unity, I really feel it's only a matter of time till they realize it's pointless to play the not invented here game and just adopt FlatPak.

I think their main reason is trying to get their own intellectual property on the map and to be the gatekeeper for the snap store which could become lucrative when paid apps ever become a thing.

But as with their previous not invented here enterprises, nobody else is interested and they're just wasting money.
I've found Discord worse in every way. Almost every server I've been in is highly reactionary to any kind of accidental phrasing. Walking on eggshells is a constant process in any Discord server. It also descends into the same type of problems as any other chat services as it encourages short messages rather than long well-thought-out posting.
Except my most recent job where I used a recruiter, I've only got jobs by submitting a CV. One was a huge company with an official application process (Dyson) and the other two were startups via email.

You definitely have higher odds with a more nepotistic route, but I think he's still right - most jobs go to applicants that apply using the standard process.

Absolutely not bullshit. Some cynical people on the internet believe this, and that's what I thought the person I was replying to was saying. It is an extremely low bar to say "some people believe X", and I don't know why you care to question that. Even with your own reply you say "virtually all people agree" and your use of "virtually" acknowledges that not everyone agrees with you, therefore some people do believe what I say. This is anyway such a silly tangent and was not even my point.

I get your point. But when you go through hundreds of applications for a single role, the ones with a cover letter do stand out. Not that I would only hire if you had a cover letter, but it still stands out.

One hand folks complain about automatic scanning and rejection based on just the CVs and here we are complaining about the one instrument, a job seeker has, to express interest in the company.

To go with your date analogy, a cover letter might not need to be a love declaration, but maybe a message that looked at the other’s profile rather than just “what’s up”.
>>I call this new religion “workism.”

The religion isn't new, its name is Protestantism and I find it supremely odd that the name 'Max Weber' does not show up in the article once.[1] This attitude towards work as something that is sacred isn't the invention of CEOs or managers, it's spiritual in nature and existed long before modern tech companies.

This is also important if one wants to deal with 'workism', because the fundamental issue is cultural. The religious values underpinning the American work ethic have been absorbed into secular culture to the point where most Americans probably aren't consciously aware where their attitude towards work comes from.

Another similar manifestation of religious ideas seeping into 'secular' culture is the millenarial AI hysteria. If you don't see where this stuff psychologically originates, make that explicit, and then deal with it you're never going to effectively change culture.

I understand where you're coming from, but see it differently.

This really is a filter. We don't want job applications from people who are looking for a job. We're looking for people who actually want to do work at WunderGraph.

We're the first to build a Backend for Frontend Framework, unifying the ideas of API Gateway, BFF and package manager. Our long term goal is to build the GitHub for APIs, a collaborative platform to enable true collaboration between API producers and API consumers.

Either you're excited about this as much as we are, or you just send a CV.

We're not offering you a job. We offer you the opportunity to work together with a smart bunch of people on a very hard problem.

It's simply not enough to say "hi". It's fine if your focus is your private life and you really just need a paycheck. A lot of corporates will fight for you. On our end, we need to filter out people who really just want to fill a role to make ends meet.

It's really not about loving what we do. That misses the point. It's about transparency of our goals align.

Which car is safer if you're choosing a car to be in? big or small? The bigger is safer and the smaller is more dangerous (to be in), in a multi-car accident.

My whole post was on the rationalization of the choice of size of car. Language matters, as you say. It is about people not choosing the smaller car and not being the victim due to driving a smaller car.

Yes, the escalation of size causes problems in aggregate, but not the point of what I wrote.

And Elon later explained that that had nothing to do from him making any specific request that his tweets be valued.

This is largely a false creation without evidence to back it up. People are assuming intention behind something that's much more easily explained as a bug, one that was quickly fixed. If it wasn't a bug, why would it disappear if people assume Elon is narcissistic as people claim? It'd still be prioritizing his tweets if it wasn't a bug.

Bro, it's not workism. It's called enjoying your craft. My dad's running a trauma department. My mum's operating in a different department. Why? They're drawing from their pension fund in their late 60s and their two sons are successful. Why do this thing called work and not instead enjoy their lives?

It's because this definition of work as this thing you do so you can do other things is some people's view. In other people's view it's fun. You are a vocateur. Why deny yourself this?

Meaning comes from many places. An objective for oneself that I think might yield joy is to find the path you prefer and to lean into it hard. Just be yourself. If it is work, then give it to yourself. If it is family, then give that to yourself. If it is gardening, do what you must so you can garden.

Of course, happiness isn't monocausal and achievement isn't solely personal so there's many views into this multidimensional problem of meaning.

Huh? Why?

You can barely deploy it to Web.

it doesn't scale perfoance wise

you can't built robust abstractions

You can barely ship working code without containers

the syntax is hard to manipulate programmatically

Exactly this. In particular, the IRS does not/likely does not have knowledge of a range of taxable income that we are bound to self-report: sales of goods and property, cash tips or payments, small consulting projects, rent you earned renting out a room, etc. The deductions side is even more opaque to the IRS, for example they have no idea how far you commuted to your job, or that you cared for a sick parent, or that you made tax-saving energy-saving improvements to your home.

The system is essentially an honor system with a barb for those who get caught cheating.
If you've only traveled in the US, you think public transportation is for poor people. I haven't used all US metros, but even NYC is pretty shabby in comparison to London or Tokyo. Most folks probably also haven't lived in a walkable city (which implies denser, smaller housing).

I don't want to force a lifestyle on anyone, but for me it is glorious just popping on a skytrain or a subway, listening to my music, and watching the world go by. I don't have to buy a car, pay for insurance, get gas every week, change the oil, repair it when it inevitably breaks down or things wear out, thus easily doubling the initial cost, find parking, and wash and clean it. I don't like dealing with different vehicle sizes, pedestrians on their phone, and drivers who think their time is worth my safety.
Very rarely though in my experience.
Just some personal 2 Cents: I have hired quite a few people, interviewed many many and read countless CVs.

In Tech, I really prefer 1 -2 pages tops in a short crisp CV; no extra text and weird sales pitch.

Why? 1) Your actual experience, what you did, how your career progressed etc. matters most. That stuff goes beyond promises, wishes and dreams - but shows the sweat and tears. Github repo links etc: big plus 2) We are all humans that have a mortgage to pay, feed a family etc. I’m not disappointed or mad if people apply for a job for the money and fame. 3) I probably have yet to meet an engineer that would enjoy writing prose about why a job posting and company “were his life long dream”.

I never ask why people apply for a job or switch either. Personally, I would never have had a good answer my self - because you seldom know what the actual job or culture or projects will be like.
I didn’t see any reference to Polygon in the article. Can you elaborate on your comment?

> Nope. Imposing certain islamic values is not democractic because those values would contradict more fundamental democratic values.

What are “democratic values” though? A lot of people seem to use the phrase to mean whatever values they personally endorse - but what makes those values “democratic”? How do we decide what values count as “democratic”?

> Easy examples: Killing off a minority.

I think “genocide is wrong” is a value which the vast majority of people share. But what makes that a democratic value?

Same point about all your other examples - whether the values you support are the right ones or the wrong ones, what makes them “democratic”?

In a pure majoritarian democracy, whatever the majority wants, they get - even if they want something bad like genocide. Of course, I don’t think genocide is right, even if the majority wants it - but that’s not a “democratic value”, that’s a case where some values (such as the wrongness of genocide) are more important than democratic values, and ought to win out when they conflict with the value of democracy.

This is the reality in most rent-controlled areas, I supppose. Germany for example has very strict property rental laws. Unlimited contracts only save for rare exceptions, cannot evict a tenant unless you want to move in yourself (and even then cities such as Berlin defer this right by the legal maximum of 10 years for properties that change owners), can't raise rent while the contract is in force unless it's been written into the contract from the beginning. And a place that's rented out to someone new has a capped maximum rent increase in comparison to the previous tenant.

Renting out property in Berlin is gambling. You have to bet on who is at the same time the most financially stable and the most likely to stay in your place medium-term, so that you can re-rent the place reasonably often to game the system the most. Yuppie families or single professionals have a winning hand here.

Do you care that Nvidia isn't open with their Linux driver or that Broadcom didn't to my knowledge ship an open source driver for many of their wifi cards? It is really common for GPU vendors to keep their hardware details proprietary because they're all trying to one up each other on benchmarks and games every year. Just because Intel and AMD do open source drivers doesn't mean that what Apple is doing is unique.

The video is mostly of the upper classes and military. Looks nice but I'm pretty certain I'd prefer to live now. I'm actually from n Ireland but live in the Scotland. The class system is definitely a lot more noticeable here than home. I suspect it was way worse back then.

I have some sympathy for your point of view. I'm very much pro union but when I go to England I think I'm glad I don't live there. So crowded. Most of the countryside fenced off. Unlike Scotland were it's possible to escape to the wilderness. Compared to Ireland I think people in England seem depressed.

On the high trust thing, I think part of it may be partly the mass immigration of the 1950s. As an outside observer I think that may have divided the country a bit. To me there doesn't seem to be much integration.

All I'm hoping is that the UK gets over brexit and doesn't stay in terminal decline. The current Tory leadership only seem interested in managing that decline. At least Boris was optimistic and believed Britain was a great place to be.

Because git combined with Dropbox and the likes can be slow, lead to broken repositories, mad sync conflicts and so on? At least that is what I've witnessed with colleagues. This was years ago though, and I assume you dont have these issues or maybe a different workflow, so this is more like a word of warning for others: test this properly first before just diving into it.
ah, okay. My counter, if this only solves one of the problems (parking), why would we prefer that over public transit which solves 2 problems.

The SALT cap definitely increased federal taxes for some wealthier taxpayers, but the main policy motivation for eliminating it wasn't simplifying the tax code. Republicans like it because it increases the relative tax burden on residents of blue states and (some) Democrats like it because it increases the relative tax burden on the wealthy. (A lot of Democrats are trying to roll back the SALT cap.)
