I think the point was that "illegal immigration" is exactly not buying and selling of people, while the coercive/abusive prostitution trafficking pretty much is. And as such, the two things should not share a name. Renaming one or the other would be appropriate now.

No, pre-empt here means you don't have a word, the town (commune) has priority and you can't make an offer
Basically, if your property is eligible for preemption, you have to declare that you intend to sell (at the price you wish) to the city, which can then tell you that

- they don't intend to buy, in which case you can proceed with the sale

- they buy at the price you've set

- they make a counter-offer, which you have the right to refuse but then you also renounce to sell

If there's a dispute on the price (especially in the third case), a tribunal will decide the eventual price, "based on the recent sale prices of similar properties".

A more relevant measure might be median income per capita/household, adjusted for purchasing power. On that basis Austria does quite well.

Additionally, quality of life amounts to more than measures for disposable income etc. If you consider access to education and healthcare the picture might take on greater depth.

So your plan is for people to have a longer commute to work, work 8 hours at the job, have a longer commute home, and then have to trudge to a shop in the evening most nights of the week (in all weathers)? Sounds idyllic. Food shopping every night can replace going to the gym or playing with your kids. And if you're elderly and would rather drive - tough luck.

>>If you lived in a world where accessing the shop was easy and convenient, and they stocked everything you need, and you didn't have oodles of storage at home to store it all: why would you even make such a huge shopping trip?

Well obviously no-one is going to buy food they can't store. If they live in a tiny pod then by all means subsistence shop on a daily basis. However, the groceries will also be far more expensive.

Allocating public housing could be done through an auction system. Bidders would submit offers for annual rent. The surplus, after deducting costs, could then be allocated to buying or building additional housing for this program. Alternatively, it could be used directly to subsidize rent for low-income individuals.

In the end, this would solve the allocation problem while maximizing the available public housing. It would take a couple of years or decades to reach an equilibrium state I guess.

I'm probably missing something obvious here. Can somebody point out my mistake?
This is probably one of the best yet most underrated features of the various stock Apple organizational apps: they work just as well as vendor agnostic clients for standard protocols (IMAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, etc) with relatively little favoring of first-party services.

It doesn’t take much to destroy a city with money, I can see it happen in a few cities in Europe now. Foreign money, mostly from non EU countries like Russia keeps pouring in raising the market value until no local can afford renting or owning an apartment anymore. Look at places like Sylt or some nicer towns in Switzerland or France, they basically got overrun by rich a••holes buying everything they could. Boggles my mind why people think it’s fair that local families compete with shady millionaires for living space.

Yes, and it is objectively worse.
I think the big issue is it's a lot harder to start social housing in 2024 when you have extremely limited historical action on it. But in general a city buying real estate is a hedge on real estate prices increasing in that city, which can be extremely useful for city budgets if you have any costs associate with housing some portion of the population. Most cities of a certain size find they can't function without some amount of social housing: the free market prices out entire occupations that cities need. Even someone as non-essential as a Barista is actually quite important in that many of the people in NYC want to be able to buy coffee. But you aren't going to get Starbucks to pay the $20+ /hour needed for them to rent within a reasonable commute of where they live.

There are also questions about how much of out of control rents employers are responsible for and should bear the cost of, and how much it is the cities fault. To the degree to which rental prices are high because of politician supported NIMBYism it seems fairer for city budgets to bear those costs than third parties.
Ok,think of the politician you dislike the most. Now imagine the discretion of "people of all ages backgrounds income levels etc" would fall to his or her purview to decide. Would you still support the system?

In other words market cap is assumed to be representative of the company's "actual value" (i.e. whether it is a good investment, profitable, whatever) and the other variables are meant to correct for factors the market cap presumably does not consider.

But that is still counter-intuitive if we use an intuitive understanding of "value" (i.e. worth preserving/having/acquiring). The company in this example would have no worth but EV of 100M. If you buy it, you would have gained nothing and spent 100M. Realistically with (near) zero market cap the company is likely defunct or worthless, with zero cash and massive debt it's likely bankrupt.

Realistically it's just a base "buying price". To fully buy out and own a company you would need to buy all the stock (market cap) and then pay off all the debt but you could use the cash for that. That's "value" in the modern economical "market price" sense, not in any intuitive sense. And it doesn't even mean paying that price would be a good investment because two different companies may have the same price but be hugely different in terms of potential ROI. Notably it only accounts for assets in the sense that the market cap might consider them - but we all know (do we?) that the stock market is not rational even when it can be rationalized otherwise we would be better at predicting it (notably a lot of "experts" perform worse than chance when trying to predict it).

I guess if you wanted to account for value in the sense of "worth" the formula would have to be a multiplier of the share price as a share price of zero would presumably mean the market sees no use in it and the other factors don't matter (but then again there's no good reason why debt would factor into it positively because it's merely a proxy for capital based on the assumption that it's used for investments rather than cashflow).

Yup, everyone's gotta drive to the supermarket in their 9999999 tonne landtank SUV now.

It's so bad in London now, traffic is just becoming all SUVs. I'd love for them to be banned, but consumers want SUVs...so there'll never be a ban. There's not even that much space inside an SUV either!!

Back in NZ we actually used utes and other large vehicles for what they're actually meant for.
In Manhattan, there was a supermarket on almost every block. Going to get groceries was only slightly longer than the trip to your refrigerator. I remember food being more expensive in Manhattan, but on a recent vacation to Paris, food was cheap and extremely high quality. Similarly in Italian cities a few years ago.

Things are structured differently in large cities around the world to accommodate a walking lifestyle.

That kinda jives with "compression is understanding". If recalling a memory depends, as a sibling comment says, on "re-running the machine", then you can't recall it if you can't intuit how you thought at the time.

As if you compressed a chess game by using a chess engine and saying, "The move ranked #2, the move ranked #1, the move ranked #1" and some very tight arithmetic encoding. If you come back and decompress it with a different engine, it'll put out similar results for a little bit, then diverge into nonsense.

(All speculation, for fun of course)

Sometimes I feel at odds with my memories. There are certain images I always return to, and I'm not sure why. I'm not even sure what emotions they evoke. Nostalgia, I guess. There is one overseas trip where I barely remember anything, except that I hated it. I feel like I fucked up my childhood and need a do-over, but they say everyone feels that.
If the goal is to have a diverse economic mix of people to live in a city center, then let the results speak for themselves. If another city has the same goal and can achieve a better result with less resources then that’s worth considering.

The “they haven’t thought this through all the way” mantra you’ve espoused might be true. Also maybe you’ve not thought it all the way through. Maybe that has been tried and doesn’t work well for reasons. For example if you increase the flow of money into a market without increasing supply, prices tend to rise and the wealthier will absorb the rise better than the poorer. As you’ve helpfully pointed out, there are knock-on effects, however those effects don’t just apply to one side.

So that’s why I advocate for aligning and judging success on the goal and comparing like to like.
AI Parental Controls: Using LLMs for Self-Moderation
What do you mean cities need it not to die? Would you say Monaco is dead? What about Zurich? Oslo?
On top of that… cars have only been around for about a century. Plenty of people raised kids before then.
Interesting, so to put this in market terms, the city is allowing the value that such people add to it to be offset against the cost of their rent. This would mean that cities like Paris choosing to do this is entirely rational and GP's calculation fails to reach this conclusion because it ignores the actual trade that is being made in these cases?

Or to make a clichéd example: being cool and arty isn't particularly rewarded by salaries because there are a limited number of opportunities for this to improve a company's profitability. But it can be rewarded by subsidised rents because people prefer to live in cities with a population of cool and arty people for the non-monetary benefits they bring to that society.

Global themes and widgets created by 3rd party developers for Plasma can and will run arbitrary code, That's how the do what they do. You are encouraged to exercise extreme caution when using these products.

Global themes do not only change the look of Plasma, but also the behavior. To do this they run code, and this code can be faulty, as in the case mentioned above. The code was not malicious, by the way, just wrong. The same goes for widgets and plasmoids.

He's suggesting using deterministic scores instead of LLM evaluations because of the variability in the latter. Isn't this just trading off accuracy for precision? Or bias-variance tradeoff, Heisenberg, etc. The LLM evaluations can be "better" in the sense that they're in principle measuring what you want to measure, but are more variable because of, for lack of a better word, subjectivity. They have a higher spread but the average is more reflective of ground truth. The deterministic measures measure some proxy - they are repeatable but generally rough approximations. Depends what you want.

> You normally put that in a stroller but that's a huge pain to manage on a bus or subway.

Not in any bus or subway car build in the last 20 years.

In every EU city I rode mass transit in the last decade, all transit vehicles are "low side wagons", meaning you can just roll on from the platform/curb, the doors are wide and the area right behind the door is a large space for wheel vehicles.

People bring wheelchairs, strollers, bikes, ect. without any problems, without needing help getting on. The platforms have elevators, for the people not comfortable taking a stroller onto an escalator.

The only exception I can think of are historic drams, but those are rare.

You've literally described a market system.

A developer charges as much as they can for their rental units. If profitable they take that surplus and build new units up until the point that the marginal cost of providing an apartment is equal to the marginal revenue for renting such a unit. This isn't due to benevolence but how you maximize profit. The developer also pays taxes which pays for public services

So yes, I am in favor of this system.
Given the numbers cited there it looks like Chinese e-bikes have a fire rate of 0.002391% per year. From a quick search it seems like there were about 130 e-bike fires in NYC in 2022 out of a population of about 65000 e-bikes, so NYC based e-bikes have a failure rate of 0.2% per year which seems significantly worse than the cheap ones used throughout China.

In the past 15 years Intel has spent almost $100 billion on stock buybacks. They don't need the money.

This is a pure transfer of wealth from taxpayers to the rich. And they're getting more like $20 billion not once you include loans, etc.

The wealthy make massive amounts of money, take it out for themselves, and then complain that they don't have capital. That's pure junk. And then we wonder why Biden's approval ratings are terrible and why we might end up with Trump again.

We need to make stock buybacks illegal again. They provide no value to everyone but the ultra wealthy.

Edit: Wow, the downvotes are amazing. A company gives away $100 billion then comes hat and in had to taxpayers asking for another $20 billion and we just hand it out. And I'm getting downvoted?
I am cautious in supporting these particular cities, since democratic primacy is a critical right that empirically leads to better results. That dealt with, there is a frame here where democratic power is preserved. The idea is that voting is done with the feet. There are a lot of obvious ways that is worse than voting by vote, but it is a much more powerful action.

In the long term that sort of charter city would need to transition to either a more standard model or something like the City of London - eventually becoming a tightly controlled geographic area where not a lot of people actually live. It worked well for the UK, I imagine it would work well elsewhere. If anything, corporate control runs the risk of being too effective and ending up as the command structure of some sort of colonial superpower.
