There is no incentive at the margin. And only the margin matters in real estate transactions. The first 80% is usually a given based on location. Total racket.

There should be waterfall hurdles like in Real Estate investing. Or variable commissions above certain thresholds or rolling sqft averages in that location.

If they can get that last $50k then split it 50/50 with them.

All of their money should be made at the margin.

Also there should be full transparency such that the buyer agent loses money when this happens. So there is an overt battle for the pot between buyer and seller agent incentivizing them to advocate for their client, not just get the deal done.

I’m not $3500 excited but I would buy the product as shown at $1000 or so.

I think it could be a great computer for traveling, especially the idea of being able to have a multiple monitor-like setup on the go without dealing with setting up a bunch of equipment.

Computing on airplanes would be so much better than struggling with a laptop on a tray table, and you could sit back and relax to watch movies rather than being hunched over a phone/tablet/IFE.

The “watching content while doing chores at home” that influencers have been showing off with the Quest 3 seems pretty nice.

I don’t buy into the idea that a device like this will replace smartphones or computers as our primary computing devices even when the technology gets far better, but it definitely has a place.
I can't help but assume that anything being described as using graphene, carbon nanotubes, crypto, blockchain, bitcoin and - to some degree - AI is a scam.

I feel like the only person I've heard talking about graphene and actually demonstrating any practical application is Robert Murray-Smith. This guy is like he fell down the popular science rabbit hole 20 years ago and emerged naked but for a towel screaming "Eureka".

The chance of a small glitch or anything that did not happen in the past is as likely as a ghost dinosaur coming up to you and scamming you out of all your money.

Looking at the past through a probabilistic lens is irrational, unless you are doing it to predict the future through information collection.

It at least makes it so that the buying agent doesn't profit from any additional upward movement in price. I guess it's about as good as you can do with such a screwed up incentive structure.

Hi, can you help me get the lowest price possible on a house? Sure, and the lower I can get your price, the less money I make, how does that sound?

Oh, and add to that, not only will I make more if you make more, but offering a higher amount will close the deal faster so I can move on to the next person.

I have been fascinated by regular and irregular tilings for a long time.

Last year, I spend some time generating irregular/random tiling made out of squares and triangles. One of the blogs about it is: https://www.iwriteiam.nl/D2208.html#23b

In 2016, I investigate Versaille like tilings: https://www.iwriteiam.nl/D1606.html#13

In 2003, I spend time to investigate regulat rule-30 tilings. See visualization from 2019: https://www.iwriteiam.nl/D1910.html#23
The agents should be put against each other such that one will get a greater share of the overall pot based on how good they are at creating a bidding war. More bids, more commission share to the seller agent. Less bids, more commission to the buyer agent.

Align the incentives beyond just getting a deal.

Money should fought for at the margin.
Apparently M. C. Escher liked the snub square tiling. Well it says that on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_pentagonal_tiling (which is dual to the snub square) according to the ref on wikpedia which is " "Dodecahedron", M. C. Escher Kaleidocycles".

No offence but you live in an out of touch worldview. A majority of the world uses instagram/fb.

The big issue here is that us monkeys really can't comprehend scale (insert classic links to studies on scope insensitivity here). Heuristics that work well for groups of up to a few thousand people stop working when there are hundreds of millions.

As a UK citizen, I feel jaded and bitter about this topic, as the government have been pushing to "ban encryption" in one form or another for... it feels like decades now? And each time they're advised against it or unable to get it into law, they draw up another proposal and try to sneak it in another way. It feels like one of these days, if they keep trying, they'll manage get it past the experts/lawyers somehow and it'll doom our privacy for a long time. So in the writing, I don't detect over-reaching self-righteousness or a lack of self-awareness - more, awareness of just how tiring and arduous this push for "encryption bans" is getting to everyone who understands the implications of it, and how frustrating it is to have to repeatedly deal with this kind of insidiousness in government.

I recently bought patch cables for the first time in maybe a decade. I ended up with with a Cat6a U/FTP, but the process to find out was the current "OK" cable standard was very confusing. Apparently there is a lot of "Cat7" cables that do not adhere to the standard (which do not allow for RJ45's?), which made it hard to find out what was what.

Not that it matters, this was a 5 m cable between my fiber box and my new wireless router. So the cable will not be the bottleneck in any of this.
Not exactly the same experience but close enough for me: https://search.marginalia.nu/explore/random
The empirical sciences tend not to be in the business of proving. Rather, they participate in the corroboration and falsification of hypotheses by means of observation. This is common to both the social and the natural sciences. Of course, one might in the social sciences consider a collection of opinions to represent an observational sample, and then analyze this data. But the methods of analysis certainly do not revolve around further opinioning. Rather, its mostly really basic statistics, and in some cases you get social scientists doing something a bit more interesting, like quasi-experimental designs.

Btw I also want to add that I went to a chiro first, before realizing they were kinda scamming me out of $ and that chiropractics has no scientific basis.

It's kinda funny how they operated. This clinic made me watch a short video which praises chiropractics, they gave me an evaluation, then recommended a "treatment plan" over like 1-2 months, coming in 2-3 times a week. It's quite expensive at around a $30 copay.

To my completely untrained mind (in either physics or social studies) it is obvious social studies can not have the rigor of Newtonian physics simply by the difference in running experiments for each discipline. Think about how difficult it is to run, observe, constrict, isolate, etc experiments in social studies by comparison. Ethics limitations too. You really can't take a thousand babies, isolate them and run experiments to see what is a social construct and what is not.

If you think being able to take all variables you can into account and have your model spit out "better" or "worse" is crude, than you can't be asked anything cause any answer to anything is crude.

The question is simple, given any century throughout history, would a person prefer to be born in 2000 or any century before then, not knowing anything else about their life, where they will be born, who their parents are etc. I'm pretty sure a rational person will always choose 2000 as of today if they are choosing actually thinking of the consequences and not just "I wanna cosplay as a cowboy".

If you don't think you can answer that question you don't have any knowledge. You fell into the trap of "I learned how much I didn't know and now think nothing can be answered because everything is complex" which is a trap some people fall into. At some point laws need to be written and you need answers. What is simplistic to me is saying "aw chucks it's too complex, nobody knows if it's better because for one person over there it's worse". Even complex systems have answers at the end, said another way, whatever the distribution or long tails or whatever, I can still calculate a median. You should "roll up" your knowledge into being able to still answer "yes" or "no" to something. And the answer is yes, the world is better to live in today, regardless of how much hand waving you do about specific subsets of people or caring about 2008 till now vs before as if that realistically mattered on a large scale of centuries of human existence.

It's also funny how its crude when I say it's better for everyone but it's not crude when you say it's worse for Greek people. Also still trying to understand if you think the financial crisis has anything on medieval medical practices and lack of food and societal support systems. I was poor in portugal during that period so pretty much went through the same as the Greeks and let me tell you I'd rather be poor in the 2000s than rich anywhere on earth in the 1400s.

> The only block of countries reducing it are the EU (making our life miserable), the USA at most is maintaining it, and China, India, all of Africa and mostly all others, are pumping out more and more of it

US is a large country with considerable amounts of coal (and oil to a lesser extent). China also owns a considerable amount of coal on their territory. Several African countries are significant oil producers. (overall even if it's oversimplifying: it makes sense that large countries with low density of population have larger amounts of natural resources per capita...)

Since EU imports > 95% of the fossil fuels it uses and since the volume of oil extracted from earth will soon peak and then decline (in a context where the countries who extract it will keep more and more for themselves, therefore even less to be available on the market), it is indeed wise that EU learns to organise with less fossil fuels (independently from any climate/environmental concerns, which are another good reason). If EU doesn't then it will anyway have to face such a decline, without being properly organised...
With all the encryption I’ve used these past decades the only time I have entered a full encryption key was for cryptocurrency. Aren't 99% of use cases the case where the key is stored on the client device? It seems like the main deterrent then just comes down to the failure rate of the probes.

On a tangent, a bad actor could then release HDCP keys for TVs from a big brand like Samsung and effectively invalidate all content protection for all the TVs they have already sold (afaik those can’t be remotely updated). If those keys are then revoked, there would be millions of bricked Samsung TVs.
Facebook Finally Puts a Price on Privacy: It's $10 a Month
What? Just this summer we had a string of the hottest days ever recorder for like 2 weeks. Last year temps were in the high 20°C's for up to mid-november. Once-a-decade wildfires now happen every year. Hurricanes destroy large parts of the southeast US every summer. Europe is starting to get hit by storms as well. The Gulfstream, arguably the single most important ocean current to the western world, is collapsing.

This isn't a matter of opinion; objectively, these things are happening, and there is no reason for them not to get worse.

This line of arguing seems so strong and obvious is many other cases too. Like whenever politicians talk about a "golden key" to spy upon encrypted data — just ask them to demonstrate how that would work on their device. Show us. Practically. Here. Right now.

> Have you any concerns about things like war, climate change, etc? Because physics has been quite useful for bringing these things into our reality, but seems less so for making them go away.

Sure. But I highly doubt that philosophy holds the answer.

Like take the current conflict in Gaza. Can you imagine solving it by having both sides read books about I don't know, stoicism? I can't.

Now I'm not one of the people that thinks that technology is going to magic up a solution to that either by inventing some sort of wonder tool, or way to usher nirvana.

I think if we have a social solution to make things quiet down it's going to be more in the realm of psychology, neuroscience and behavioral studies. Meaning, using propaganda and social manipulation to convince people to stop fighting. And I think at this point we've got the track record to say that works to start a war, so maybe it can also be used in reverse.

But I don't think that's quite in the field of philosophy.

Can you give an example of a function of a car that should need a network connection.

E.g. navigation. Could still work but say cannot load maps. And it could let you download maps to a usb stick if it was actually decent.
As many others, I find the whole thing to be a complete mess and we have no idea of what is actually happening. The Supreme Court must have had access to the charge and the relevant material, and the court apparently disagrees that charge and evidence is sensitive enough that at warrants closed doors.

I find it beyond belief that you're allowed, even as a government, to drag someone to court and accuse them of actions that could harm the country, while refusing to let them or their defense know exactly what they did wrong.
Sure. It actually has that capability to load MP3s. But as a navigation UX it sucks. I’d rather park my car every night and have the latest maps. Banning network connectivity as a feature does a disservice to users.

That’s another good point! Frankly, there’s really nothing stopping your seller’s agent from lying about the offers that are coming in or at least gently pushing sellers toward commission-maximizing offers, and the scenario you described is basically a push in the direction of buyers’ agents disappearing.
The King doesn't have all that much to do with this. He reads the speech, but he doesn't write it, and he reads it in a flat monotone so that no one knows whether he personally agrees with the government's legislative agenda.

It's just one of his duties, along with welcoming foreign heads of state and opening hospitals. The UK doesn't have a fixed constitution stating who may and may not do what, it has a set of documents and conventions that vaguely add up to a constitution. This has been evolving for the best part of a thousand years, mostly peacefully, and will continue to evolve for the foreseeable future.
Any platform that is large enough will sooner or later become a 'slice of life'. I've seen this with ww.com/camarades.com, and it was fascinating to see that development up close.

One of the most memorable ones for me was a terminally ill patient in a hospital that was still conscious that used our fledgling video meeting service to stay in touch with family members all over the USA. And random strangers dropping in to wish them well. Some people would protest that this wasn't material that should be shown online but I always defended such uses because (1) it seemed like the right thing to do and (2) life has nice sides and darker sides and I don't think pretending the darker sides don't exist is a realistic position.

I understand that the writer makes a lot of presumptions about the reader, but this is to be expected it is a personal blog called "Hi, I'm Heather Burns" and from the title there is a certain narrative with context implied. There is not an inch of objectivity explicitly or implicitly expected here.

Politics are "self-righteous", if you are not "self-righteous" in discussing and arguing for policies - no matter which view or policy we are talking about - you are not really making a good point, you certainly aren't trying to advocate for whatever you believe in, and you are not morally consistent.

That aside, this particular issue has been beaten over and over, and for someone who is an expert and a career policy advocate: they are not going to waste effort and time by repeating the same points almost everyone reading their blog agrees upon.

I genuinely don’t know where to begin with addressing this level of ignorance. All Central Banks, including the Bank of Lithuania, are governed by the European Central Bank. Passporting works because of an equality principle.

Lithuania has worked hard to become a fintech hub for Europe, and that isn’t based on a poor regulatory regime.

If you can bring actual facts to the table as to why the Lithuania banking license is inferior, we can have a discussion. Now you are just spouting baseless “Lithuania banking license is bad because of Lithuania” nonsense.
