Yes, you can. The net tax effect will be about -$5: ① Purchase paint and canvas for $5 ② Create $1B asset and add it to your accounting ③ Write down asset to zero. You can claim a $5 loss and reduce you tax burden by $1 or something like that, so the scheme only costs you $4.

Clever people try to do more sophisticated versions of this around the end of a year. Add an asset in December, write it down in January, or the other way around. That can make sense if the rules for the two years are different, or if there's some reason to pay the tax in 2023 instead of 2024, or…
>Lots of countryside areas have high unemployment statistically, but are actually very chill because there are so few people, and most of them are retirees.

Not true. Unemployment numbers don't account for retirees or children of school age or involved in education/trainings programs.

If an area has high unemployment it means only adults of working age not involved in any schooling, trainings or apprenticeship, who are able bodied to work but don't.
The data could be public anyway, like publicly funded research data. Not every number crunching means secrecy.

People usually own multiple properties (outside of main home/vacation home, at least) to rent them to others. So they will just pass that cost to their renters, and make rent more expensive.

...or just build enough housing, that whoever wants to buy it, can buy it at some normal percentage above construction costs, and enough rental properties exist, that landlords have to lower the prices of rent to get someone to live there.

If you're stuck at a "pay way too much for rent" or "commute for 3 hours every day" choice, and if you don't take the too expensive apartment, there are 10 other people interested in it, it's a pretty shitty situation to be in... and here in Ljubljana Slovenia this is happening just now (college starting soon, students looking for apartments).

Leaving apartments empty is not worth it, since you still have to pay for monthly costs (power, water, heating, even if empty), and the only way to be worth it is, if the price of the apartment rises higher than the monthly costs.. and that is only true if (almost) no new apartments are being built. If we built enough new apartments the prices of used one would go down, making apartments a bad investments for speculators.

Samsung sells phones with comparable hardware for half that price, though that model will only be updated until 2028.

The Oppo A94 and the Oppo Find X5 Lite come pretty close for €259 or €294 respectively, with almost no update guarantees. The Xiaomi 12 Lite for €305 should be a bit better in terms of updates, but for the "standard" five years you should start looking at the Samsung models (A34 for €349, A65 for €380).

€700 is cheap for a repairable phone from a small company, but it's definitely not low on the smartphone price spectrum. Android phones that are slow, but honestly better than what I have paid €450 for a few years ago, are going for about €90 these days. Those phones even come with free chargers, something €2126 iPhones lack.

I basically just want a data dump of their whole map, like OSM provides, but I understand why they don't want to do that...

So instead give me access to the whole maps database to run bigquery queries over it, and make me pay per record I touch or record in the result set.

I'd love to be able to answer questions like "How far, on average, are my customers home addresses from the nearest footpath?", or "What percentage of residential addresses in the UK have an ATM within 1 mile", or "Give me a route from A to B, but not via any unpaved streets", or "Give me a list of the 100 biggest cities that have no ice rinks".
I have FP4 as well and I would say that they do a rather poor job on the SW side of things. The default camera up somewhere along the lines became laggy when switching to wide screen, security updates come out months late, and Android 13 still isn't out (even for Android 12 they took a long time to get that prepared and released).

I'm probably going to switch to LineageOS at some point, but I just wasn't in the mood for to go out of my way and set it up (even if I've been using LineageOS extensively on all phones I got beforehand).

>What really is difference between owning a stock and property

Well one of those things is needed for human survival.
The fix is to make monthly rent = monthly mortgage payments (which ever is less) when ever and where ever there is a mismatch.
If you have enough realestate, there's no need for rent control, because landlords will have to lower prices to get anyone to stay in their apartments, and empty apartments are still a huge cost to the owner. High costs of rent and (buying) houses is because there's not enough supply in the first place.
Yeah, eval is the main culprit, but there's also Function, setTimeout, setInterval and friends.[0]

The other gotcha is that with a secure CSP policy, you can no longer do things like <button onclick="handleClick"> because that's inline JS, so that's kind of a bummer.

An interesting exercise would have been to run a Gaussian Graphical Model (like the “graphical lasso”) to sparsify that correlation matrix.

In the Gaussian case, those methods are able to identify nonzero partial correlations and hence a causal graph. Since there’s multimodality here trust in that interpretation should be lower, but it’s still worthwhile looking at a pseudo/candidate causal structure as part of EDA.
I think in the case of property, multiple supply/demand equilibriums are possible.
Land is a finite resource and rents way exceed mortgage repayments. I think there is a way to encourage the supply of rental in a scenario where they hold less quantities of land.

Not sure if the spikes can actually detach from the implant, like asbestos fibers, but even if they don't, I was wondering how the tissue surrounding the implant will react to these spikes.

Spinning up additional "servers" in the cloud when you receive many incoming requests. If requests are held in a queue waiting for the new server to start, a fast boot process will reduce the latency for those requests.

Cloud providers run VMs of different customers on the same physical machine. Hypervisors like Firecracker minimize the attack surface (smaller risk of local privilege escalation) and VM overhead (run more instances on one machine).
I think they're focusing primarily on security updates, not Android updates in general (though a couple of those as well). And I believe they're also leaning heavily on the work of LineageOS, but don't hold me to that.
Carb rinsing is a well documented thing (swirling a sports drink in your mouth then spitting it out). I’m not sure whether artificial sweeteners trigger the same physiological effects.

Your comment reads as someone who doesn’t really interact with the OpenBSD ecosystem very much.

I’m pretty sure the commenter you’re replying to was referring to the fact that hyperthreading is disable by default on OpenBSD systems out of caution: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17350278

And as for their attitude toward firmware blobs, while they ideally prefer them to be free, they only require them to be redistributable; this is a less hard stance than GNU. Plenty of OpenBSD drivers require proprietary blobs to function.
Yes, Paul Graham posted it without questioning, and that's how many people came across it. I attempted to correct him, but I noticed it late (https://twitter.com/LechMazur/status/1695401777863000425).
So say “when I worked on a Python project many years, we had a lot of problems with one release” – people might find it weird that you’re bringing up old history but nobody is going to doubt that you personally had an unpleasant experience. It’s okay not to like Python!

What’s getting criticism are these huge sweeping claims like “you rewrite your code every three months” or “syntax and semantics of the language change in non-reverse-compatible ways between every minor release” which you have been completely unable to support or the attempts to dismiss anyone else’s different experiences as somehow less valid.
I can't speculate on the extremely long term, but my fairphone 3 is still getting OS updates pretty regularly. Fairphone 3 was released 3 years ago and I think the last OS update I got was ~3 weeks ago, so they're at least doing 3 years, time will tell for 5+ though.

Public/social housing. Vienna already does this.[1] Another example: in 2021 the city of Berlin acquired 15k units from corporate landlords bringing the total publicly-owned units to about 20% the total of rental units in the city.[2]

>Experts refer to Vienna’s Gemeindebauten as “social housing,” a phrase that captures how the city’s public housing and other limited-profit housing are a widely shared social benefit: The Gemeindebauten welcome the middle class, not just the poor. In Vienna, a whopping 80 percent of residents qualify for public housing, and once you have a contract, it never expires, even if you get richer. Housing experts believe that this approach leads to greater economic diversity within public housing — and better outcomes for the people living in it.

Android slowdown is generally related to three things: shifting expectations because you can use the same outdated phone for seven years while apps get more demanding, flash storage and the battery wearing down, and half a decade of apps spawning listeners and messaging hooks on boot.

Deleting a bunch of unused apps will quickly bring a slow Android system back to life. You can usually avoid this problem by looking for paid apps that aren't full of trackers and ads.

If you're dealing with a slow phone, there is a wide variety of dev tools you can use to see what's going on. dumpsys will show you things like timers and memory allocations. It can also show you global or app specific battery drain statistics. Procstats will show you what apps used how much CPU over a specified period of time. Battery Historian will let you drill down into battery drain issues.

In practice, you just need to remove that weather app you installed three years ago, though.

Fairphone 4 owner here. IMO Fairphone has a bit of a mixed record.

On the one hand, they have proven themselves in the past with things like working with the community to get Android 10 ported to the Fairphone 2 [1].

On the other hand, they always seem to be pretty behind on security updates. They got particularly eviscerated by the GrapheneOS project lead [2].

My hot take is Fairphone is a pretty small company that is trying to fill too many niches at once. It's great that they're working on making the supply chain for gold less awful ([3]). It's also great that they're continuing to prove that repairable / user-upgradeable flagship(-ish) phones are possible. I originally chose Fairphone for those reasons, because they align with my values.

Ultimately, though, I want a phone that I can rely on to be rock solid, secure, and highly usable. It's the thing I carry with me everywhere and rely on in emergencies, etc. To that end I recently ordered a used Pixel 6 Pro and plan to switch to that + GrapheneOS in the near future. I hope that Fairphone continues to succeed and help reform the (completely awful, IMO) mobile handset industry.

Which makes it a little odd to separate out 'indigenous' as needing a separate legal or advisory entity doesn't it? What is the position of the 1% indigenous? It is referring to a culture contextualised by skin colour.

It's all signalling. In Australia there are support and administrative bodies at all level of government interacting with aboriginal communities (often failing for different reasons, mostly budget). A 'Voice' (which is still vaguely defined as having influence but no power) does not magically create harmony between the past and future, it only continues the divide.

We are stuck in a world of trying to simultaneously give back the 'old past' while carrying on as-is otherwise. That is impossible. We must work towards a common, prosperous and respectful future for all inhabitants that recognises and admits the things we can't undo or change. We are trying to have it both ways, and it will leave the divides strongly in place.
