Hi, thanks for trying Noteful! I'm sorry you are having trouble with the Ear Training questions in the app.

In the ear training questions, the app is listening for particular pitches--the same pitches it plays to you. It can be a bit sensitive sometimes. Slowing down and singing the note for longer can help with matching the pitch.

Just in case the question was unclear - even for the lesson on descending/ascending notes, the app expects you to sing the notes it plays for you--arbitrary descending / ascending notes won't work.

Try the above, and see if this works for you! If it doesn't work, you can post back here or write to us at benoteful@gmail.com
So your argument is that it’s okay not to label it as state funded (which it most certainly is) because other media companies are? And you feel the best course of action is to continue hiding all that?

Are any school districts outside of Prop 13 California funded by primarily income or sales tax? But ya, you would need to do something like that if you were to tax land rather than improvements given schools, police, and lots of infrastructure needs scale up with improvements.
Detroit is an interesting example of a North American disposable city. Conditions changed and everyone left. Could this even happen somewhere like Europe where land is more scarce?

It’s literally the top selling vehicle in America. Clearly people are OK with the design. But now it’s an electric truck.

I don’t think many people think it’s anything beyond an electric F-150. That’s enough for a whole lot of people.

The problem is if the state doesn't see eye to eye with you on the value.

This can happen for all sorts of reasons, they might be using a simple algorithm that takes into account nearby values / recent sales as comparables. Those lots might have subtle features which makes them much more valuable than yours. Etc.

You get hit twice if over-assessed, first of all because you have to pay more, secondly because the high taxes act as a drag on what you can sell it for.

In theory this can result in "negative value", ie, the land generates less income under any plausible use than the property taxes cost.

Then you're stuck! What idiot will buy your white elephant now? How can you stop paying the taxes if no one will buy it? Which is why any fair lvt proposal needs at least an out where landowners can hand stuff back to the state.

No, I think it is the opposite. The more options available for your land and that of your neighbors, the higher your land is valued.

This means you want the maximum restrictions to keep the value low, for both you and your neighbors.
Whehter you property value or land value pales in comparison to other aspects of your taxation system. Basically, do the complete opposite of what California has done. A summary:

1. Prop 13 in the 1970s was the incumbent homeowners voting in a massive generational tax break. It capped annual property tax raises for really no reason. Worse, it allowed your children to inherit those tax rates (as well as inherit your property on a stepped up basis so you didn't pay any CGT either). Only in recent years did this get cut back slightly. If you own multiple properties, only one (the primary residence) gets to have its beneficial tax rate inherited. And that measure only passed by (IIRC) 51%;

2. Corporations get the same capped tax increases and don't have to worry about inheritance. Disney World had its tax rate set in the 1960s so it paying a pittance. The LLCs can get bought and sold without resetting the property tax rate to assessed value as would happen if the property was sold;

3. For old people who may be sitting on massive land value that you may not want to evict straight away, just do what Texas does: accrue property tax but defer it to their death with a lien on the property. This gives people a choice between staying and paying later or downsizing.

Prop 13 may seem great if you're a longstanding homeowner but the thing is, it's a trap. You can't move because if you sell your property you lose your beneficial tax status. People should have mobility and generational wealth isn't who we should be giving massive tax breaks to anyway.

If you get these things wrong property vs land value makes absolutely no difference.

Agreed with both of you actually. I enjoy NPR and I certainly agree that it allows for both sides at times. However, it is a fact it is state funded (it is in the name) and I think it objectively leans one way (which you can verify by looking it up on one of those companies that evaluates media bias) and it just so happens that the way it leans is where the votes for its funding comes from?

Yes, gentrification replaces some existing tenants. But the new tenants might be renters as well?

> If you don't allow deferment of the tax, pensioners might have to move unwillingly (low income that may not cover the tax). Most proposals allow deferment for retirees until sale of the property, though, so it's kinda a non-issue.

Otherwise, banks can do that kind of deferral for you with something called a reverse mortgage.
When I started my career it was pretty common to have a team of ~12 under one manager with a couple of TLs. Nowadays it's more like 1:4 or even 1:3 - that's 3x management bloat for mostly bureaucratic reasons and with no obvious improvement in productivity or retention. Then there's the thing you said - people with "manager/lead" in title but no obvious managerial responsibilities.
Launch. Start with screenshots, a feature list (real and planned as two distinct lists) and a form to collect beta sign ups.

If you cannot launch a basic version (minus everything else you want to add) consider shelving it.

I've built many projects/products over the last 20+ years. 2 or 3 took off significantly, others have thousands of users but no sustained revenue stream. One that has become a profitable business (it launched with the "weekend build" version and has built up from there over 7 years).

I was astounded the first time I read about it in the '90s; and even more so when it was still going on in 2006. The fixed cost of labor as a whole, and not just salary + benefits for a worker, but n workers at that rate, is daunting.

Especially when it would be possible to build the same # of units with .25n workers.

Happy to help if you need any help - my email is in my profile.
this is not a unix beartrap, this is a bug in Go if that's where it was found. If your code is multithreaded, it's up to you to make it threadsafe. You can't declare you're creating the most threadsafe memorysafe newbie safe system, and then go home. You have to write the code.

Your program gets its own copy of the environment when the program was launched. Nobody is changing it on you, any contention for that resource is you contending with yourself.

You don't expect an operating system to change things out from under you. Unix doesn't. If there is contention for this resource, it's all you (or whoever wrote the library you are using)

The environment is name-value pairs, as strings. That's it. That's what makes it accessible and useful. You can swallow it up, the whole thing, into whatever data structure you prefer in your language in a few lines of code, and a millisecond (if that much) of runtime. Just learn how things work and you won't feel helpless.
It fucks up ecosystems. It lingers on our food. It bonds with abundant minerals like calcium and magnesium and does unexpected shit. It comes in Roundup with a cocktail of chemicals that increase bioavailability and toxicity. It has links to chronic kidney disease and cancer.

If this fits your definition of safe, you have a very unusual one imo.
LVT would remove the disincentive to develop housing, so cost of living would drop as more is built. Even if a homeowner couldn’t keep up with the land tax, they’d be much more likely to be able to find housing in the same area.

Compare to right now, where every generation can’t afford to live in their own hometown, because there’s only upwards pressure on housing costs, so families and support networks are constantly being torn apart.
To be fair, at all times there is the potential for a recession

Splendid, thank you!
It's a very important question to ask: how big should the investor's bill be? For labor, for durable goods, for energy, etc., the investor pays in proportion to what they have taken from others.

But what has the investor taken from the public when they build? The best possible answer, in my opinion, is the value of the land they occupy. This exclusive use of a portion of land deprived all others from using it. That is the value of the land, and there are roughly two sources of that value: proximity to all the other things that others have built, or access to natural resources. And importantly, the investor is not the source of that land value, that comes from society as a whole or from nature.

So that's why the land value is an appropriate object of taxation: it's a payment to us all for what we have been deprived of. A person who builds a massive structure of great value on a piece of land has built that structure, but they didn't build the land or the bounty that the land provides.
Ford is cutting back from 3 shifts to 2. Running 3 shifts is unusual in automotive. You need some downtime for maintenance.

The thing is overpriced. It ought to be cheaper than the gasoline version, but it's not. The legacy automakers treat electric as a trim line - electric comes with every overpriced accessory they can load onto the thing. The base F-150 electric has dual motors and costs $50K. The base F-150 in gasoline costs $35K. There's still that $15K electric premium.

Do you have any source of this information? As far as I know it is false - this show has never been banned in Poland.
> But with an LVT they have a big incentive to either develop it immediately or sell to someone else who will.

An LVT gives no such incentives. LVT is explicitly agnostic about how the land is being used. You pay the same, no matter how the land is being used. That's why it's economically efficient.

However, a conventional property tax (and also income tax and capital gains tax etc) disincentivise developing. An LVT can help raise enough revenue to be able to lower or eliminate those other taxes, and thus indirectly help remove disincentives to developing.

This is only true in a very loose and rather useless sense. This isn't because of some weakness of the BitVM construction, these are products of limitations of Bitcoin itself.

As far as I understand, all possible settlement pathways have to be predetermined. They can't be chosen/constructed on the fly according to the circuit. It also has a pretty restrictive prover-verifier relationship. If the prover lies then the verifier can force a recovery pathway, but if the verifier fails to perform their duties then the prover can choose the settle the construction in any of the predetermined settlement pathways. The only ways that that would work would require some trusted third party to sign off on the other outcomes. They can also, of course, collude to settle the contract in any arbitrary way, meaning that the verifier has to be trusted by third parties. There's also no obvious way to chain instances of this construction in an arbitrary data-dependent way. There's also large communication costs, where two hashes have to be exchanged for each wire in the circuit, which adds up a lot when you'd want to do nontrivial circuits. Although I can imagine someone could invent some clever construction to deterministically generate wire commitments in a way that each party could agree on, but I'm not sure what it would look like though given the constraints Bitcoin has.

So it's only possible to build a "Bitcoin-on-Bitcoin" with it if you don't care about moving funds between it and the host Bitcoin ledger or being able to be trusted by anyone other than the parties actively involved in executing the construction (like you could do with a rollup), which means it's useless as a thing to improve throughput.

It states in the paper that a more practical construction should be used in a real use-case. I'm still a little bit fuzzy on the details so I might be slightly off here. It's a very cool construction, and it's pretty neat that it's doable on Bitcoin today without modifications to the core protocol. Bitcoin only needs a couple of very minor modifications in order to enable basically anything-on-Bitcoin, which I sketched out [1] a while back that got some attention and further work [2].

> They should implement a blight tax or a vacant land tax instead.

A land value tax is a much more elegant solution. For one, it doesn't introduce the problem of needing to define 'vacant land'. Is a parking lot vacant land? etc
Except that it is different because it has a frunk. So many other companies are putting out electric cars but can't figure out how to have a frunk, let alone one as big as the f150's.
A deferment isn't necessary. Banks are happy to do that kind of financial transformation for you via a reverse mortgage.

(However, it might still be a vote winner. Voters aren't exactly the brightest.)
getenv returns a pointer which could be invalidated after releasing the lock, unless the lock also guards uses of that pointer and all application code uses that lock, which they most certainly do not. Likewise, this scheme does not solve direct use of environ by application code.

NetBSD has getenv_r, which copies into a buffer, but few applications use getenv_r, and certainly not all of them. And it doesn't resolve environ.

Solaris never free's env strings or environ arrays, only creating new copies and atomically swapping them. It uses a special allocator for those objects which doubles the backing buffer each time it deep copies the environ array, then argues this strategy is technically asymptotically memory bounded.

EDIT: Glancing at the code I think glibc is similar to Solaris in that it never free's env strings, but it has a heuristic to conditionally free environ arrays which means directly using environ isn't thread-safe.
Of course if they are doing really well, than their infrastructure/scaling problem could be the big issue (and thus the big expense), and it could be at the point where improving those margins is worth throwing developers at it.

I have also seen some eye watering monthly AWS bills where it makes total sense to hire a bunch of devs to bring those down by even a few percent.

Same old tired “if you have a big truck you have a small peepee” nonsense. Trucks are useful, I’m a full on convert now after years of shitting on them.

I am all in on owning things as well. To the point that I'll buy Blu-Rays where I can too, rather than sign up for an extra streaming service.

With music in particular, I definitely see discovery as a problem though -- particularly these days when "radio" isn't really a thing (at least for me). Spotify might be able to fill that gap, but I haven't really tried yet.

I'm also worried that "owning digital things" is going to become harder and harder as time goes on, but I haven't quite been able to put my finger on what the tipping point for that is going to be.
> people get kicked out of their homes once the land value increases too much

This is already possible with property taxes.

FTA the city claims that 97% of homeowners will see a reduction in taxes. Typically, LVT is highest in areas more central to the city (think downtown) and lowers as you move outwards.

This means that, for example, a multitenant strip mall neighboring an Arby’s on a plot of the same size will pay similar amounts of tax. With property tax, the strip mall would be paying significantly more in taxes even though it is a more productive use of land because the development has more value to its owner.
Those owners may still be living in the homes in which they raised a number of children, near schools they no longer need, near jobs they long ago retired from, with more house than they can afford to heat, cool, clean, maintain, and steps that no longer suit them.

The increase in land value over 30 or 40 years has gifted them with lots of home equity (far more than their principle payments on their mortgage). That's enough funds to downsize from 3 or 4 bedrooms on a 10,000 or 20,000 sf lot to a very fine single-level apartment or condo in a building close to the center of things, a home they can take care of, feel safe in, and perhaps even have services to cater to their current needs, just as the nearness to schools and jobs catered to their needs 30 or 40 years ago.

Meanwhile, young families, particularly those with only one earner, must drive further and further to qualify for a mortgage. They drive not just on their home-hunting trip, but twice a day to commute to jobs close to those family-size homes and well established schools.

And if they do manage to afford a home in those older more central locations, they are paying (in California) multiples of what their neighbors are paying in property tax. Those neighbors raised their kids in a time when people of all ages were contributing to the costs of the schools. Today, the young families pay lots, while the comfortable older ones play little.

And from an environmental POV, having those workers commuting 30 or 40 miles each way each days isn't such a great deal for the environment, or for their quality of life, or for the time they can spend with their children.
Yep. Again, I’m not complaining. It broke a thing I use, so I fixed the thing.

However, it’s something that pretty much all Ruff users to know about. Some projects look at their big x.y.Z number and decide to bump y or x to say “hey, it’s been long enough, let’s call it a new version”. This isn’t one of those cases.
