What is the tax benefit of stepped-up basis over 1031-ing into RE rental properties and a cheaper primary residence?

In California - obviously prop 13 if someone in the family plans to keep the house.
In your first comment you said "the world's Lithium". Now you're saying "US produces". That's a massive difference. US production rounds to about 0% of the world's production. The vast majority is done in China, Chile and Australia.
There's really none. The biggest evidence is the fact that an animal reservoir was never found and it was found relatively quickly during the first SARS and MERS outbreaks. There's no evidence from the lab itself and no evidence the virus that reached the public was subject to GoF. And just general distrust of China.
e/acc : for the ones that don't know its meaning [0] yet:

"E/acc is an acronym for the phrase Effective Accelerationism, which is an ideology and movement that draws from Nick Land's theories of accelerationism to advocate for the belief that artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) will lead to a post-scarcity technological utopia."

Is it? The ToS explicitly says that you will be banned if you inject any code into the game or otherwise modify it, and this injects code into the game resulting in bans. To me it seems more like a business choice to not differentiate between harmless mods and cheats rather than a technical issue with the system.
He didn't 'mess up'. This wasn't an accident. Wire fraud has an intent requirement. The government has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendent acted with the intent to defraud, specifically, the 'intent to deceive and cheat'.

Not punishing this is the same as allowing it.
Ditto - 7950X3D and 6900XT; game stutters like crazy at times. I can't pin it to a specific time/event, just restarting seems to help.

I'll repeat what I said elsewhere in this thread. Linus insulted the code, not the person who wrote it. In engineering, conflating criticism of your work with personal criticism of yourself is a sin.
That's a completely reasonable compromise. I think the reason it doesn't get mentioned is that nobody would bother doing it under those constraints. Scientists would not choose to work on it at such great personal cost, and the financial cost would mean that other kinds of research would be better uses of money.

They aren't doing more than others, they just have disposable income. Being wealthy isn't a virtue.

I want you to go to Detroit, Appalachia or South America and explain this to them.

"Right but the problem with a lot of these positions is obstructionism. Take a look at the '70s environmental movement and the way its legacy, laws like NEPA and CEQA, are used to simply block development"

One of the difficulties with being young is that one tends to assume that the conditions from the beginning of time were static up until one's childhood memories. Getting older doesn't really help that, but one does remember conditions farther back.

Ever seen those pictures of Beijing on a bad air day? With the lovely brown-gray air? Los Angeles was kinda like that in the 1980s.

Air quality:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1139418/air-pollutant-em...

"Annual emissions estimates are used as one indicator of the effectiveness of our programs. The graph below shows that between 1980 and 2022, gross domestic product increased 196 percent, vehicle miles traveled increased 108 percent, energy consumption increased 29 percent, and U.S. population grew by 47 percent. During the same time period, total emissions of the six principal air pollutants dropped by 73 percent. The graph also shows that CO2 emissions, after having risen gradually for decades, have shown an overall decrease since 2007, and in 2021 were 7 percent higher than 1980 levels."

The problem is that federal grants often go through the state, so some percentage of "state" may source from the feds.

Of course it's all academic in a way, because money is fungible.
Instead of changing the standards, I think they should keep them the same, but instead change the definition of a light truck (which is exempt) so that it only applies if the vehicle is used as a truck. People using a truck as a truck know that cosmetic damage to the sheet metal will occur and don't worry about it. Thus:

A for tax purposes the value of a truck is based only on the number of hours the engine as run, and the mechanical condition (as audited by an independent mechanic). This will kill the rental and lease market for trucks since they won't be allowed to charge extra for cosmetic damages. You can still buy one, trade in will be weird as the dealer won't give you extra for perfect body condition, mean while every once in a while they will have a deep discount sale day to get rid of the not mint condition trucks (everything else will be moved off the lot for that day), but your taxes will still show you paid mint condition price).

Of course what will happen is light trucks will be split into two models with slightly different names, one is a light truck and one is car. The car will cost more because it has to comply with CAFE. The truck will be cheaper.
Polling shows that there's only a slight preference for single family homes. Yet the land usage is absolutely dominated by bans on apartments.

If preferences really were so strong for single family homes, there wouldn't have to be a legal ban on other forms of housing.

This stranglehold on the housing problem, by a few politicians and a small number of homeowners banning others from living their preferred way of life, is the true cause of the shortage.
The main downside of paper ballots is the slowness and contrivance of the process. I think it's a phenomenon that's present in most countries that don't have mandatory voting law to see very low participation, especially with the younger demographic.

Having to set aside a whole day to exercise your rights as a citizen is ridiculous in my opinion and we can do a lot better. (Seeing as the article is about Switzerland, I would say their mail ballot initiative is a step in the right direction but to me it also looks less secure than paper ballots).

Another one is speed. People in this thread complain that some regions in the US only had their final counts for the last presidential election days, if not weeks after the voting ended. How is that acceptable?

In my opinion, when voting is as easy as pushing a button in an application or on a website, the democratic process will have a wider reach and could be used for many more things than the very important ones, like presidential elections or referenda (again the Swiss already do this AFAIK).

Network security. What says it doesn’t? The whitepaper specifically points to computation for security. Computation is not evenly distributed and changes with time in allocation. As a generality.

A couple of years ago, the main submarine link connecting my country to the internet was damaged, and internet basically slowed to a crawl for a day. Could barely open anything.

But Netflix was running at full HD with no problem. So they must have had local cache's with the ISPs.
Well, they also support property rights, not just freedom.

"Selling" your ADU would either require dividing up the parcel (which I am guessing is nontrivial in most places) or somehow itemizing improvements on the parcel so that the ADU owner can pay taxes for their unit separately from the main home on the property.

No reason to figure out a solution to any of this when housing isn't much of a problem there.
Housing is expensive in desirable places. These areas are also traditionally quite affluent and liberal -- because you need to be relatively rich to live there. As a result, they tend to be much more accommodating to the homeless and addiction. That doesn't mean housing prices in LA/SF/Miami/NYC are the reason homeless people gravitate there but it does explain a correlation.

"It is estimated that the <U.S. alone will need 500,000 metric tons per year> of unrefined lithium by 2034 just to power EVs... <current global production> of lithium in 2020 was about 440,000 metric tons..."
There's a fair bit to like about this, and it's roughly aligned with my worldview: that, on balance, technology and market forces are a force for good; and that there is a little bit too much techno-pessimism abound that has led to bad outcomes (such as the relative lack of nuclear power). I think it's generally under appreciated just how good things are. The world, overall, is getting continuously better (Factfulness by Hans Rosling demonstrates this better than any other source I've come across).

Then again, there are bits of it which are a little bit strange - the enemies section, for example. SV could "move fast and break things" previously, but with its size, power and influence, it probably needs to take a slightly more "win friends and influence people" approach.

But most of all, it is a little bit contrary to some of a16z most high profile recent investments: Clubhouse, NFTs, web3. It's hard to see how these investments and products align with building towards abundance. I wonder if he's spent a little too much time away from the hands-on detail, where the next tech innovation will probably happen.

$15-$25? when was that? Currently it's $40-$55 on ipv4.global.

I am no anthropologist myself but I remember hearing that this list is actually rather small. Religion was an example that was given and I would believe marriage. How many others, though?
HFT is a dance in the shadows of the most highly-regulated practices in history (securities exchanges), I don't think it's a good example of "pure" markets being immune to monopolies.

Each of those regulations is a tombstone for the monopolies and cartels that came before, and there will absolutely be more tombstones to come. The history of the stock market is rife with corruption, stock manipulation, and short-thrifting the general public. The great fortunes of the 20th century were made on the backs of practices that are all kinds of illegal today, and with good reason.
Oil is scaring me from a macroeconomic standpoint, and from a pollution standpoint but we are going to need it for a long while. Investments are being made into gasoline engines and they are paying off. The reliability and maintenance concern me with all these new clean sheet designs but the fuel efficiency is crazy good compared to previous generation engines.

I'm driving an F-150 that gets 1989 Nissan Pulsar mpg in real world operation. It can carry my whole family plus 2000lbs extra in the bed. It can tow 10k lbs when I need it to, and I do often. Insane.

There is a heavy cost in extra maintenance however, and some people have really gotten screwed when the maintenance has not been followed or the newly designed transmissions and engines fail before 100k miles.

Point being, you go fucking with oil and gas markets and people will be suffering and dying in the real world as a result. For some reason this is being ignored. And no, no one is going to take one for the team so future generations can...blah blah blah. Ain't gonna happen.

Who says that there's "free market"? it does not exist

Free market ends when important stuff starts being affected unless actors arent rational.
I find it's rarely genres that I like in electronic, it's specific songs that give off the right vibes, there's a lot if content to wade through.
It might be theoretically possible to devise an electronic voting scheme that is reasonably secure against various threat models (possibly with slightly different tradeoffs than paper ballots), but so far, every scheme that has been used in practice seems to have been severely flawed.

Plus, even if such a "good" e-voting system existed, it would probably be almost impossible to explain to people how it works. With paper ballots, you can have people observe the process and verify that it was fair. With all the wild accusations of fraud that we have already, I don't want to know what the world would look like if people had to do operations on the blockchain or something to verify that votes were counted correctly.

Blanket statements require more explanation than this.
This feels like an absolute that isn't inherently true (maybe you didn't mean it as an absolute? I could be reading it wrong). Not every wealthy person "became wealthy by building stuff that millions if not billions of people value". Even for those that did, not everyone is right all the time - just because you sold a lot of a thing doesn't mean you're going to have great opinions on everything else.

And, just because you're wealthy doesn't mean I owe your opinions my time. In the specific case of Andreesen here, I've disagreed with him so strongly over the years that I didn't bother giving his manifesto a chance, and from most of the comments I've seen, I don't think I've lost anything there. I don't care if he founded Netscape, or throws his cash around to new companies in an effort to generate more cash for himself, his opinions have missed the mark many, many times.

Wealth != Great ideas

This was the same with LTT recently, there was footage of their employees saying that they were rushed to create videos, that they'd "never been truly happy with a single video they did", that they "wished they were given more time to do things properly", etc., etc...

And then I realized that this was official footage, that LTT themselves released as content!
Most people don't care about zoning, but they really do care about zoning changes that affect them.

Being told you can't live in your house anymore because it is now zoned commercial gets people riled up, and being told the same because it's now too expensive does the same.

It's a hot-button issue but you can defuse it by putting safeguards in, though they're not always successful - see eminent domain scandals.
> To call it a massive success is an understatement, and largely due to the crazy amount of free parking making it far more attractive than anywhere else to spend a night out.

Shocking. Motorists flock to areas designed for motorists, with free parking.
Big cloud providers have good IPv6 support. The long tail is terrible. We work with ~200 different hosting providers, half of them have no IPv6 support at all, another ~15% it only works occasionally and they clearly don't monitor it.

There's also a fair number of still popular libraries and frameworks that don't handle IPv6 well. Maybe not in their latest release, but in their more popular older ones.
Uh? It's basically what everyone believes almost everywhere I went. In North Africa for sure, in Canada it's a bit less common but still extremely widespread. So I'm not sure you meant by it being a US only phenomenon? If anything it's actually a pretty divisive debate in the US,.
Someone has to be the critic:

- Moombahton is shown as derived from Miami Bass, however it's a hybrid of Reggaeton and Dutch House. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moombahton

- Reggaeton is shown as being derived from R&B. It's much more of an offshoot of Dancehall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dembow

- House and Techno are shown as having independent roots, however they are deeply intertwined.

- There is a big important relationship between Rap and Funk and R&B, and even Disco. missing here.

- Why does Pendulum (a band) get a node on here? There is no such genre as Pendulum.

- Missing genres that are fairly important (Halftime D&B, Jungle (not just Ragga Jungle))

- Lots of questionable genres on here (Freeland breaks? really? As in Adam Freeland?.. Come on no one ever talked about Freeland breaks as a distinct genre)

Anyways this is pretty much an impossible task given the multidimensional relationships between all the genres, and an endless variety of perspectives and nomenclatures. So, great job Ishkur keep it up!

I love that tidbit on personality. It's true. The personalities were stronger. I'm not from the generation but have made similar observation from it. Peoples public life and reputation back then was more guarded and integrated more closely in private life as well through pristine optics and bubbling character. There was far fewer media influences and even fewer acceptable divergences from ones regional status quo. The secret lives were burried deep with shadows simply oppressed from fear as the oppression and consequences of dissent was high. It built strong wills and personality through high standards and expectations of character to achieve the standard path to success. You walked out the door with this great personality as that's all you had to have a chance in yesterworld. Today the variety of personalities is far greater but the conviction in these dispersed personalities is more flexible as we are all exposed to a wider variety of influences and generally more tolerant of dissent.
But why shouldn't the same be true of typing?

(I did mention in my other post I can sort of see why handwriting is a movement more akin to other ways we manipulate the physical environment - but in fact I use the "swipe" style keyboard entry on my phone, which is surely not that dissimilar - using my finger to draw shapes. Touch typing is certainly very different and hard to correlate with other actions we need to perform in the real world, in some ways it's surprising we're able to become so competent at it, though obviously our ability to make finely tuned manipulations with our fingers is a huge part of our evolutionary success).
What is the pass rate on torchbench? This gives a more realistic measure of how good a vendor's pytorch support is.

All the big chip startups have their own pytorch compiler that works on the examples they write themselves. From what I've seen of Groq it doesn't appear to be any different.

The problem is that pytorch is incredibly permissive in what it lets users do. torch.compile is itself very new and far from optimal.
So it works on any game even the ones that don't get updates anymore.

The fun thing is that the Guide v1.0 (the Flash version) was originally satire of the electronic music scene. Several of the music genres were flat out made up, with the audio samples being provided by ishkur under an alias (or ishkur's friends). But 20 years later, removed from the forum posts it was trying to parody, and it looks like an earnest exploration of late-90s electronica.

Also, genres are fake.

We never did. Of all the Gods of all religions that have had a creation story, not a single one of them is available right now, and for some reason, all chose to speak through a chosen elite.

Religions are children stories used for political power.
Let's also stop using electronic techonology for banking and do it manually because it's harder to commit actions at scale with physical bank notes.

This is a non sequitur, if we use it for banking (which is much more critical than voting), why is it a problem if we use electronic technology for voting?

Estonia has it and it's working well so far. Brazil has a complete different system and it's much more auditable and less prone to manipulation and vote output alteration from human error.

Edit: conclusion of the article is "lets switch back to paper because this system uses the internet". well, do you know that you can still have a 100% electronic voting system that - brace yourselves - don't use the internet? Take a look at Brazil's electronic ballots for example.

They aren't connected to the internet at all, everything is stored locally on a memory card that is collected by the authorities at the end of the voting period, then sent to Brasilia for counting at a special room where the machines that read the cards don't have access to the internet.
Yes, and the flu is milder both because of vaccination and the way it's evolved. But even the seasonal flu kills quite a few people every year, the reason why we think it to be milder is because we've gotten used to how it primarily affects vaccinated people.

Like what you've done there is a fallacy a lot of people commit, that they conflate seasonal viruses, colds, allergies etc with the flu. But when you actually get the flu, you know it.
