Propositions can’t be repealed, it would have to be put on the ballot, but doubt it will happen.

No. Empirically, has it?

It will do the opposite. It removes trust, therefore making existing powers more powerful. Ain’t going to democratize anything but cybercrime.

"Wow, this website is an absolute trainwreck. The design looks like it was put together by a blind monkey with a keyboard. The layout is so cluttered and disorganized, it's a miracle anyone can navigate this mess. Originality? Don't make me laugh. This looks like it was ripped straight out of the 90s. Overall, this is one of the most atrocious websites I've ever had the misfortune of laying my eyes on. Whoever is responsible for this should pack up and find a new career, because web design is clearly not their forte."

Every rational repeal proposal is a phase out with a few exceptions for seniors.

And the reason it hans't been phased out is that the state has significant issues with legislative process as well as economic management. i.e. passing constitutional amendments by popular vote instead of just regular laws which makes them borderline irreversible.
You only push after you've established your guy as the likely successor. If this was coordinated it was not the first move.
An interesting angle: if this was somehow observed in use instead of getting discovered without observing use, there would be a glaring bright cui bono associated with what it was being used for.

Theoretically, I could even imagine that public key security motivated by some "mostly benign" actor who fell in love with the question "could I pull this off?" dreading the scenario of their future hacker superpower falling in the wrong hands. It's not entirely unthinkable that an alternative timeline where this was never discovered would only ever see this superbackdoor getting used for harmless pranks, winning bets and the like. In this unlikely scenario, the discovery, through the state actor and crime syndicate activities undoubtedly inspired by the discovery, would paradoxically lead to a less safe computing world than the alternative timeline where the person with the key had free RCE almost everywhere.

How would ruining the financial plans for millions of homeowners solve the problem? It's so easy to say "just increase taxes" but the reality is our spending is insane.
Yep, there's definitely an "owe the bank a billion" joke in there somewhere.

a secret about Prop 13 is that .. the media spin at the time was "saving aging homeowners from terrible tax increases" mainly by the Howard Jarvis Tax group; however, Corporate entities that own land in California also benefited from this measure, and continue to do so. I have never seen this in the media at any time -- only known by talking to a retired attorney recently

Today in discord I got an ad for loot boxes. Every time I hovered over the ad blocking the bottom right of my screen it crashed. Everytine I played a YouTube video in the client it crashed. Every time I watched some screen share it crashed. Every time I shared screens it crashed. Discord has been mostly very nice for me but it’s a weird coincidence that when ads appeared the client became immediately less stable for me.
Homeowner ownership rate in California is 43.5%. Change is possible.

To do parallel tasks in a loop for the situation I outlined (getting a final array of images from URIs), it would be really cumbersome, and your implementation would be pretty much equivalent to the inner workings of Promise.all.

They're mostly self-inflicted. Prop 47 caused a great amount of problems for the state by decriminalizing all drugs and theft up to $1000/per incident. We are just attracting junkies/criminals from other states where they actually enforce the law... Most of the homeless are not even from California when you talk to them. They come here for the lack of drug laws and ability to steal to fund their habit--and many cities even give debit cards to them. We're actively subsidizing the worst of the worst people and encouraging them to move here. Now we have organized shoplifting rings and junkies on fentanyl and meth living under every bridge and overpass. The state is in an epic free fall of quality of life since 2014 when prop 47 passed. There's no common sense anymore and our politicians are all crooks trying to personally enrich themselves or friends/family at the expense of everyone else. The only reason the bottom hasn't fallen out is big tech, Hollywood, agriculture/wine, beaches/Tahoe/tourism, and all the taxes they pay. I don't understand how people aren't more sick of putting up with this. I know I'm sick of seeing open drug use, prostitution, filthy streets, and not feeling like any public spaces are actually safe anymore.

Beyond that... it's nearly impossible to build an affordable market rate house, starting a small business is more difficult than anywhere else due to regulation, our public schools are terrible.... but yeah there are some really well run tech companies that pay absurd amounts of money so a lot of people are still willing to put up with it all. I think there will be a breaking point though...

Every time some liberal/progressive voter has to clean up feces/needles off their front stoop, is robbed in their driveway, takes their kids to a public park but a homeless person is there doing drugs in the bathroom (or much much worse), or the cops tell them they can't remove the homeless camp on their block, I suspect they become ever-so-slightly more conservative. Eventually this will turn even the bluest state red. Democrats are digging their own grave by pandering to nonsense and ignoring the reality of what it's actually like living here.

When I grew up here in the 90s, the homeless were more like 1-5 per 100,000--not it feels like it's 50x to 200x that. They also weren't allowed to just camp in public spaces and leave ecological disasters everywhere they went... Whatever policies we've enacted need to urgently be repealed. Ideology now trumps objective reality.
I’ve heard it said that journal article titles tend to be less entertaining and whimsical than they used to be (perhaps due to increased pressure to conform to a standard style?). I’m glad to see a counterexample here though!
Parent comment said "Repealing Prop 13 and removing local control of zoning decisions can be done via votes in the legislature". I don't know if that is true or not, I'm responding to that premise. Either one of you could help the discussion by providing a source backing up your conflicting claims.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc. Offshoring didn’t increase jobs. That’s absurd.

I've experienced something similar, but the chair's discharge was interfering with a PCI riser, tripping just over some threshold that would cause the OS kernel to panic and shutdown.

Motivated by the recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs), we’ve created a tool that lets users connect to databases, Excel files, and APIs through simple conversational commands. Imagine asking, "What were my sales last quarter?" and getting your answer without writing a single line of code. This journey began because we saw the opportunity to bridge the gap between complex data and actionable insights using the power of LLMs. We're excited to get your feedback and refine this tool together. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Not exactly a toy, but there was a talking wristwatch for the blind that would sometimes say something like "the time is: three, equals, memory clear, PM". Apparently the company, who also made other hardware for the blind, decided that it was less costly to manufacture one kind of chip for both the calculator and the watch, and then have some way of telling it which device it is, probably a pin that was either always 0 or always 1. When the battery was running low, something weird would happen and the wrong sample would sometimes play.

Not sure I follow you. Do you mean that the existence of AI will undermine trust that applicants know what they're doing?

It hasn't really been around long enough for an empirical analysis of effects. It's also incredibly hard to measure effects with the systems themselves being in such flux.

For what it's worth, I think categorical statements of any stripe are a little premature. Even the EA folks speak in probabilistic margins.
Even a sane prop 13 could be neutral on property taxes, just not give such a bonus for never moving. There is a lot of value society loses when people have an incentive to never upgrade/downgrade their property because the transaction costs, essentially, would be astronomical.

California does have high overall taxes, but not the highest. Part of the reason income taxes are so high is because property taxes have a very low effective rate.
Oral history:
First torrent was uploaded circa 2002 by Bram Cohen's brother. It was a video of his metal band playing live.

But BitTorrent really took off when redhat played this dirty trick: their distro was free to distribute but you had to pay to download it. (free as in free speech, not as in free beer). Bram paid to download it and made it available with BitTorrent. The torrent of the iso kept running for more than a year with thousands of downloads. BitTorrent was alive.

Soon BitTorrent represented 30% of all internet traffic and was the primary reason to get xDSL internet access.

Before writing BitTorrent, Bram worked on a project named mojonation, when released it was slashdotted and didn't stand the load. Bram learned from this experiment and wrote BitTorrent in ~6 months.
