groceries may be a bit more expensive, but "phone, water, and heating" go up with a real estate boom? not in my experience. Price per kilowatt/water meter is the same if you're in the ghetto or "affluent" neighborhood.
> The idea is that you tax the land only as if it was being used for best use - so that every property is encouraged to develop to maximum density.

Maximum value, not maximum density.

They may tend to be the same thing, but that's not necessarily the case.
The verifier would normally have a financial stake in the correctness of the computation. For example, 2 parties could use this model to play a game on-chain for some amount of bitcoin. Then for every move, the party making the move commits to some move and new game state (acting as Prover) while the other party checks that the new state is correct (acting as Verifier). So the roles of Prover and Verifier are swapped at every move.

Free markets allow for and even encourage monopolies and cartels in the short term because those drive up profit margins. But over a longer time scale most are eventually destroyed by missing a disruptive innovation.
I just ask an eoasy coding question and sometimes push it a bit, its really not that hard. Anyways most of the time diving deep into someones resume and asking them genuine questions about what they would d in certain technical situations or about the technical skills they have listed is enough.

In which case, there might be a market for mortgages for those in this position... Or perhaps a (far cheaper) insurance product that only insures the banks interest in the house (ie. after a flood, if the homeowner walks away, the insurance compensates the bank).
We used to call this technique "vector balls" on the Amiga, here is one famous example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjKkUTlhIek . I remember implementing it myself for an unreleased demo.

Bilal’s path shifted from financial consulting to launching Moneco, a fintech startup aimed at easing the process of setting up a bank account and making international money transfers for the African diaspora living in Europe.

In this candid chat, Bilal shares his experiences with Y Combinator. He talks about why he chose this path, the doors it opened, and the community he became a part of. His story is a blend of ambition, learning, and the power of a supportive network.

Bilal also dishes out some solid advice for aspiring entrepreneurs considering the accelerator route.

Through his narrative, we get a glimpse into the real-world benefits and challenges that come with diving into the Y Combinator program.

Odd choice to capitalize "Apple" in the title there. I thought they were resurrecting Newtons or Lisas or something.
> No, your example is bad management incentivizing bad employees and turning away good employees.

Well I definitely agree it was bad management. And I did leave when I realized that despite my performance, they weren't going to compensate me appropriately. To excuse it away as "oh, that's bad management" is being willfully ignorant to the truth that this kind of stuff does happen, in general, more to women. I was in a position where I was fortunate that I could leave and find a better opportunity. But not all women have this luxury. Many need their incomes and don't have the time to look for other opportunities that will value them appropriately.

> Women being paid less due to being women is illegal discrimination.

It's great there are laws to protect women from illegal discrimination. But it's not like that just "magically" corrects itself. You have to bring a suit. Or you just have to leave if you don't want to deal with it. It's like saying "well that's wrong." Sure, it is, but the effort is disproportionately on the "wronged" person to fix it.

> You should have made whatever the maximum you could negotiate. If this employer did not want to pay you more, you should switch employers. A good employer would have paid you much more than the others.

Well yes, and I thought I had. But as I said, it wasn't until I had been at the company, better understood what my "peers" were doing and then finding out that they were paid SO much more than me that I realized I needed to go somewhere else. But I believe the point that many others are making is that if there are been better salary transparency, I could have saved myself some time by realizing they weren't going to value me and what I brought, so I could have passed on the opportunity altogether.
Why did 'Apple' had to be capitalized in the title in this case? It's not in German and it's about the fruit, not the computer company.

Thanks to that I was expecting something about Appel retro Computers.
The article is about the MPD forcing businesses to hire off-duty cops or risk losing their business license, rather than an actual security problem requiring security guards.

> To work at a startup I would expect a 30-50% liquid compensation hit. There goes my dream of raising my children in a decent house.

The gamble being that if it works out your kids in a few years will live in a giant house, and will one day inherit a massive amount of wealth. However, that gamble seems to have decreasing odds as time goes on (though if the past is any indication, the cycle will occur again).
And if you have bought a couple of houses a decide to buy one without your own realtor it's not like you get the kickback. No. Seller's agent keeps all.
Typical commission is 5% many places. Buyer's agent stipulate they're taking 2.5% to be paid by the seller, you have to come up with any difference (eg, for sale by owner that's not paying agent). Many agents will negotiate their listing fees, they don't want to, but they will, because they know the name of the game is volume, and in many markets the homes sell themselves.

The real scam is the brokers. They are the invisible middle-men taking large chunks of commissions.
This is the point where I wonder if partnering with quinnypig's crew might not make sense in terms of effectively serving those clients.

100% of recent posts I've seen discussing reductive approaches have slammed them, so it's time for a reminder about why we do it.

Truth. Falsifiable truth.

Everyone knows that reductive approaches are limited. It's in the name. They are a tradeoff. Obviously the world is complex and so intuitively you want to embrace complexity, but the more you do this the more your theories become non-falsifiable and therefore not even wrong, severely limiting their scope because most important truths about the world are falsifiable. This is why spiritualism, mysticism, and religious metaphysics failed so completely to discover the wondrous scientific truths underlying our world, even though these things were supposed to be in their weelhouse. The temptation of the non-falsifiable was a poison apple. Once eaten, the plausible overwhelmed and crowded out the true, and they were never able to build physical knowledge reliable enough to stack, let alone stack high enough to discover that we are all made of star stuff and other such wonders. Truth turned out to be stranger and more beautiful than fiction -- the real conceit was in handing the reins to our imaginations when the world around us exceeded our imaginations so thoroughly.

Speaking of which, the neuroscientists figured out how engrams work. It's beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5trRLX7PQY
That answer has so many errors it’s embarrassing. It’s egregiously wrong. Even the statement of the rules it’s going to follow has errors.

By the time it gets to 10 it states it as 11 and remains wrong until it self-corrects by 29, but then thinks there are three numbers between 32 and 34 and the errors keep going. It doesn’t even correctly substitute Fizz and Buzz in the most basic places. It’s a mess that even a child learning the game for the first time would avoid, or at least stop and reevaluate.

The issue with YouTube isn’t the ads, it is the number and length of ads combined with a monthly premium option that is far too expensive for what it offers.

You may make the argument that YouTube includes music, but the quality and capabilities of the platform are very poor compared to competitors.

That's not unrealistic then, it's just a lack of will.
There's a degree of convergent evolution between CPUs and GPUs. The basic question is "what shall we do while waiting for memory". Branch prediction and speculative execution gives you a CPU, swap to another thread gives you a GPU.

The wide vector unit vs scalar unit choice is sort of orthogonal to that. I'd guess you reach for a GPU if the problem decomposes into lots of similar independent operations, at which point vector units are also what you want. And a CPU when there are deep data dependencies, where you're less likely to be able to pack the vector.

Implicitly vectorised code on a CPU might be interesting given the increasing variety of avx instructions. I'm interested in scalar workloads on a GPU but there's a credible chance performance won't work out well enough.
I don't think this point gets plastered everywhere in the entirety of the world enough.

Most humans don't want to shoot other humans. The few who have murder fantasies do, but other than that nobody wants to take a life. The concept of just arming everyone isn't a positive nor even a remote solution.
Did you read the article? This is about cops setting up a protection racket
I know that Zillow had some goals...

But from my perspective (possibly not informed enough) their main purpose was to collude to drive up prices.

In my city everyone started by saying "Lol...Zillow shows my house being way higher than it should be." and within a few years it became "Zillow says my house is worth this much...so I need to get at least that"

At the beginning of this year it was widely reported in my area that housing prices were dropping quickly on average...but for some reason Zillow was showing my family's houses as going up in price. Maybe they were outliers...maybe there was an error. But it seems to me that when the only place showing prices rising is Zillow...that is an issue.

Edit for clarity: Zillow seemed to me to be no different than MLS but with a speculative aspect.
This is a great question and I am going to fall short of doing it justice in this brief response, but I'll try. This is the Jewish perspective:

If you were really aware of G-d, if you could objectively sense his presence, then you would not be able to feel your own presence.

As an analogy, imagine a really advanced AI simulation running in a machine. If we wanted to create a thing that felt its own existence and free will, it must have an experience that's something other than "oh I am just electrons in these circuits". Although the simulation's entire existence is in this computer that's much greater than it, for it to be "a thing" it must be somehow less than aware.

Similarly, if we really felt G-d, our own existence would pale in comparison and we'd stop perceiving ourselves. In your analogy with the father, it's very obvious that the father and son are distinct.

Like I said, I know I am not doing this justice but that's the rough outline.
>>You, as a renter, are getting it -- your landlord is deducting their (commercial property) mortgage interest from their income (your rent). Probably in their Schedule E. [0]

How does a landlord paying less tax require them to pass that benefit to the renter? Is the assumption that absent this money rent would be higher? If the amount returned to the landlord increased would the rent decrease proportionally or is this just the wishful thinking of trickle down?
I'm a 2A fan but if i were a worker and asked by my boss to do this i'd say no thanks. Going toe to toe with an armed criminal isn't in the job description, if it were i wouldn't be interested in the position.
My sentiment too. These Leetcode style websites will take an algorithm and then come up with a contorted problem that can be solved with that problem. Often the problem is not even worded precisely but people who have been wasting time on solving random problems can see the patterns apparently.

I suspect there are limits and rules about who can be issued ipv4 addresses.

> Now your buyers agent will refuse to show that house.

By the same token should developers be required to work with clients that pay well below the market rate? Often on this website we talk about telling a client to pound sand when they want to pay next to nothing and they want the moon, how is this any different? The work an agent does is not always constant (sometimes you show a person literally over a hundred houses, sometimes they find their dream house after 2 showings) but there is a baseline of work they have to do. I don't find it so crazy that if another agent doesn't want to pay me for that work that I don't engage with that agent.
I believe that GP was talking about dualism in the philosophy of mind context. In that context dualism basically means that there is a mind and a brain and that in some sense those are two radically different kinds of things.
Yeah, I just bet if I go down to Sparrows Point and try to breeze in the front door of the Amazon DH there I'll get in no problem. And what's that have to do with a Minneapolis protection racket, anyway?
"You don’t have to obey anyone’s so-called “property rights.”"

You don't have to obey them now either, but don't come crying to us when someone kills you for trying to take it just like they would have if you tried to come in and take over some tribe's land in the past.

The only difference now is that you might get the luxury of just going to court or jail.
The easiest way to combat "you have nothing to hide"...

How about saying I have lots to hide.

Already we've got two top-level comments who think this article is about crime. It isn't. It's about corrupt police shaking down small business owners under threat of losing their business license.

It's probably the highest paid ones who don't want others to know... goes against equal pay for equal work and all that.

For every rockstar 10x developer who actually is worth much more because they are truly exceptional, there's probably a bunch of others that just happened to have good. career trajectory, or entered during a bubble peak, or have a better diploma, or the right connections, or are skilled negotiators or whatnot.

The hope is that salary transparency will bump their colleagues doing similar work at similar quality up to similar pay. The fear is that it can create workplace resentment, or lower everyone's wages, or invite retaliation, etc.

IMO those are short term growing pains that wouldn't last once transparency is normalized, like in government pay.
Engineers do plenty wrong. But they typically don’t lead the effort, they implement the ideas and plans of designers and managers. So tradition in society is to put the burden of success or failure at the feet of those who do the planning.

If you have someone buying the wrong seeds or not ordering fertilizer on time, it makes all the work on the farm a failure.

> If Bob is clearly the best SWEPR4, Cathy the middle, and Dave just barely got promoted to that level ...

I think you're making a big presumption that the "clearly the best" gets the most income!

(Although the more usual argument against transparency proposals is that everyone thinks they're "clealry the best" so all except the highest paid would be annoyed.)
The checks are the legislatures that give them laws to enforce, and the courts/judges that constantly choose to allow their lack of education of the law they're enforcing. Ignorance of the law isn't an excuse, unless you're a cop. It's the judicial system's fault. This is one area where I heavily dislike the traditionally conservative brand of politics. Consistently pro-cop rulings, even in shady situations, under "qualified immunity." That crap needs to be abolished, or God save us all.

Luckily the pendulum seems to be swinging, finally. Ending qualified immunity used to be a left/liberal policy, but now I'm seeing more right-leaning people advocating for it. Maybe it'll only be a matter of time before we can have pro-2A rulings and pro-citizen/anti-cop-hypocrisy rulings. Just gotta get the boomers and old borderline millenials out of the courts first.

If you read The Fine Article, you will see it's not actually about security, but about police corruption - pressuring business owners of a certain skin color to hire off-duty cops as security under threat of losing their business license, when white business owners didn't appear to have the same requirements to operate.

The business owner quoted in the article goes on to say that a lot of the time the cops they had to hire weren't even there - they had minimum pay requirements for every shift they "worked" even if they left early or just sat in their car doing nothing.
This has nothing to do with capitalism and everything to do with enforcing law and order. People aren't stealing bread and milk to survive.

The Conservative Futurist: How to Create the Sci-Fi World We Were Promise
The current situation can punish the owner for improving the property, because you pay based on the overall value of your house. A new roof and siding could make your home more valuable, increasing your tax. Land value tax would make your individual changes a non-factor.

It could instead leave you on the hook for increases in the desirability of the neighborhood which you have no say in. So it would mean that homeowners get screwed even harder if their neighborhood gets gentrified.

The steelman for it is that society should incentivize denser development of more desirable land, by disincentivizing maintaining sparse development of it.
That's not too unusual. The other day I was looking for a particular shoe at the Shoe Dept. at my mall, they didn't have it. They were short staffed and the clerk was somebody who usually worked at a store an hour and a half away and she looked to see if they had it at the store in her town where she usually worked because if it was she could bring one to me the next day.

As it was they didn't have it and we just ordered it from their online store.

Auto parts stores do the same thing. If you use Best Buy's web site they will tell you what is in stock at your local store and any other store, and they can pick it off the shelf for you and you can get it at the service desk.
