The whole thing is quite sad because this issue is being pushed to squash student activism and bring about a new era of McCarthyism. As someone who regularly attends a Conservative Jewish synagogue (which ironically is one of the more liberal sects), I have yet to talk to any Jews who support the bill.

Antisemitism is a serious issue that has been building ever since Donald Trump refused to condemn White Supremacists (whom he intentionally politically courts similarly to Modi with the RSS). However, criticism related to Israel and the blind unconditional support of some (and I must emphasize that is a minority) Jewish people in America have for Israel is the most legitimate grievance that people have towards American Jews. I don't like seeing the reports of five-figure body counts in Gaza any more than the activists this bill is trying to silence.

There is a strong cultural and political disconnect right now between Israeli and American Jews which has been driving a strong rift. Jews in Israel tend to skew more Orthodox and hold more extreme right-wing political views than in America where there is a strong culture of Liberalism and Progressivism. Beyond that, I can say from personal experience there is a certain Israeli bravado and a condescension towards American Jews which drives me berserk (some Ultra-Orthodox Israelis have made statements denying the Jewishness of Conservative and Reform Jews for instance). Yet I have to take all the anger and micro-aggressions of the disgruntled leftists for actions in which I had no input and actively go against my wishes for how Israel would conduct itself.

This bill won't change those people's minds nor will it do anything to change the minds of right-wing antisemites (like Nick Fuentes) who would gladly see new death camps get created in America. If anything it serves to fuel the classic antisemitic tropes which have once again taken hold in mainstream culture.

You don’t have to retire there, but it turns out that the Bay Area has one of the most pleasant climates in the entire world for humans and it is coupled with some of the most stunningly beautiful and varied terrain in the world.

It’s hard to leave and call anything else retirement if you’re just considering climate, weather, and nature. My family did end up leaving the area but it was hard. I am still working. Wouldn’t surprise me if I return some day.
Yeah but have you seen the interest rate on the national deb and the amount the fed government is borrowing every year?

The interest we pay on the debt has just passed defense spending this year as a percentage of the federal budget.

I cant imagine how 4% inflation will continue to be the norm as the government has to print more and more money to pay for this stuff.
Well thankfully restaurant & AI startup aren't the only two industries worthy of investing in.

Jokes aside, I get mom & pops. But I'm dubious on the "growth" chains like a Shake Shack or Chick Fil A.

My current theory is that they are effectively MLMs with different structures: private equity MLM, owner-operator (franchisee) MLM.

I'd fill that last bit under unnecessary and undesirable processing. Things are what they are(!) A hypothesis inconsistent with experiments is a hypothesis inconsistent with experiments. It is a mistake to attempt to make more or less from it. You get nothing extra or beneficial out of the effort of rejection. A failed experiment is a failed experiment. There are lots of ways to fail. Faulty materials, defective equipment, outside influences, incompetent experimenters, poor design, POLITICS etc etc

A repeatedly failed experiment sounds just as bad as it should.

The 4% rule as a plan is not very smart in the current environment. A few years ago it was difficult to get safe higher yielding equities/bonds, but no longer.

You can build a quite safe stock/bond portfolio yielding 8% on distributions alone. Why would you aim to sell 4% of principal a year when you can avoid touching the principal at all at close to twice the yield?

Large caps are also at quite high valuations historically... earnings grow over time, but valuation multiples are cyclical. There are so many safe small caps at depressed, recessionary valuations right now.

Look at any number of the ~1B market cap or under REITs that often yield 7%+ right now and have strong balance sheets and good growth prospects

Owning 10,000 apartment buildings isn't really any more differentiated or safer than owning 1000. Especially not when you're paying 1.5x the multiple for it.

The growth in popularity of passive investing has really inflated the spread in valuation between large/small cap.

EDIT: The negative engagement on this comment is strongly explanatory as to why there's so much opportunity in the market right now.
Prop 13 means that property tax increases are capped at 2% or inflation, whichever is lower.
The stock market on average has given you 7%. That may not be a safe assumption going forward - going far forward. I might live another 30 years. If you FIRE, you might live another 50. Will the stock market continue to yield 7% over the next 50 years? That's a larger assumption than I'm comfortable making.
Yep! It's good to be born rich already!
A buyout, as sibling mentioned, could happen, but would likely not be enough to make up for losing your rent-controlled apartment. In SF, most apartment rentals are covered by rent control so you can more or less predict how much rent you'll be paying years into the future (the annual rent increases are capped by the city and though they are supposed to be tied to inflation the allowable rent increases are likely, practically speaking, less than the inflation rate (for example, looks like for the coming year the increase is capped at 1.7%)).
how long can you do that for?

Yeah, but just thinking about it reminds me how annoyed I am that they increased the B2 pricing by 20% last year.

Right after launching B2, in late 2015, they made their post about storage pod 5.0, saying it "enabled" B2 at the $5/TB price, at 44 cents per gigabyte and a raw 45TB per rack unit.

In late 2022 they posted about supermicro servers costing 20 cents per gigabyte and fitting a raw 240TB per rack unit.

So as they migrate or get new data, that's 1/5 as many servers to manage, costing about half as much per TB.

It's hard to figure out how the profit margin wasn't much better, despite the various prices increases they surely had to deal with.

The free egress based on data stored was nice, but the change still stings.

Maybe I'm overlooking something but I'm not sure what it would be.

In contrast the price increases they've had for their unlimited backup product have always felt fine to me. Personal data keeps growing, and hard drive prices haven't been dropping fast. Easy enough. But B2 has always been per byte.

And don't think I'm being unfair and only blaming them because they release a lot of information. I saw hard drives go from 4TB to 16TB myself, and I would have done a similar analysis even if they were secretive.

Even if you want to, it is hard to see how to make one line of Rust fit into all those millions of lines of C++.

And of course since all I know is C++ on the rare times where I have code that doesn't need to fit into all the existing C++ - I still know C++ well while I'm sure any Rust I write will have a lot of beginners mistakes.
Generally any white collar criminal does not need to go to "big boy jail," and I'm not sure why that needs to be a thing. Is this like joking about prison rape, where we just assume that the consequences of being incarcerated aren't enough, and we need "Bubba" to add a little "extra" because we're not as civilized as we believe we are?

Either way, rest assured that in the real world, a hypothetical executive who was convicted of ordering a hit would end up being treated the exact same way as a mafioso who did the same.

Check your priors. What's your base rate likelihood for a person dying from:

* suicide (many documented cases)

* infectious diseases (ditto)

* corporate assassinations (zero cases in the US documented)

Everyone thinking Boeing is carrying out killings that have minimal potential upside and massive downside is succumbing to some cloak and dagger deus ex machina. After age 40 people die from all sorts of causes. This is not about "courtesy," but rational thinking that there would be almost no point in killing an employee when the company is already mired in bad news and that corporate assassinations just don't happen in the US.
I'm not saying "rubber damages concrete" any more than current gas taxes say "gasoline damages concrete".

I'm saying the degregation of rubber is (likely) in direct correlation to the amount of road damage. (Much like gasoline is in direct correlation to miles-traveled, and thus is also an indirect measurement of road damage)

There's no need for causation in this discussion. Correlation is enough to be worthy of a good tax design.
CA assessed value for property tax calculations is capped at 2% growth per year. So if you bought a house in the 1970s you’re never selling that thing as the tax hit on any new property annually would be much more. If anything, you keep the property, rent it out, and never do any major renovation that would trigger a full reassessment.

I think what he means is: Some SF companies pay very large compensation packages so that their engineers can afford to purchase homes.

I don't think this is true. There are only a handful of companies that pay $500k+ TC for senior+ engineers. The vast majority of companies top out at $250k, be it F500 or startups (not including their worthless "equity").

You can't afford a home, on your own, at $250k in the Bay Area. Realistically you need $500k+.

Where i work, there is a lot of NIH wheel-reinvention. People make exactly these arguments for it. I think it's mostly nonsense.
Stability is one of the reasons why I bought a few years ago (albeit, not in the SF Bay Area). That ever-looming possibility of needing to move again come lease renewal time, whether that be due to rent hikes or the landlord deciding to do something else with the property wore on my nerves.

Of course home ownership isn’t all roses either, but I can at least rely on and plan around my mortgage payment not changing and not having to move unless I decide to do so independently.
why does he skip the taxes though? surely at 140k, even long term capital gains taxes are going to eat up a significant portion.

> Hospitals are supposed to prevent this from happening, but it is hard.

Physician here. Hospitals do work to prevent the spread, and it is hard—so much so that it's nearly inevitable. MRSA is a naturally occurring part of the respiratory tract and skin. How do you stop that? Also important to note that those who do acquire and die from MRSA infections tend to be relatively ill to begin with. Usually those patients are admitted to the hospital for some other serious issue and then develop a MRSA infection either from their own body or the hospital. While you can mitigate the latter, you can't do anything about the former.
It's also not that relevant. You'll can add different syntax variants, the Lisp evaluator doesn't see parentheses in any way, just actual interned data.
Boeing will never fail financially or fall out of use because of their importance for US geopolitical status. I don’t think the USA cares much about the issue except insofar as the USA wants Boeing to deliver reliable high quality products.

However, Boeing executives can (and should) get in to trouble. They probably care very much about what comes to light in court.
Dunno about the exceptional modifier but I've always thought a rotating generalist role at a company would be cool. Unblock detail xyz on project abc, then move on, repeat.
I had need for a special purpose lock that solved this problem: There are `N` task sharing a single resource. It is incorrect for the `n`th task to acquire a lock on it until after the `n - 1`th task has released its lock. When the `N - 1`th task releases its lock the `0`th task may acquire the lock again.

I couldn't find any lock off the shelf that solved this, or a clean way to hack it with a fair mutex. So I wrote my own, and I'm pretty sure it's correct (1).

It's like a ticket lock, except the total number of tickets is known up front so every task can get one ticket. To acquire a lock is one CAS, where the lock is acquired iff the "current" value of the lock matches the ticket value of the task, if so we swap in a magic LOCK value. When the writer releases the lock it writes (ticket + 1) % num_tickets back to current so the lock can be acquired by the next task.

There's a deadlock condition though - if one task is cancelled while any other task is outstanding, no other task may acquire the lock, even if the cancelled task didn't acquire it!

To deal with that, the lock is poisoned with a magic POISON value. Then when any other task attempts to acquire the lock, but its value is POISON, then an error is returned and those tasks may be cancelled accordingly.

It's be possible to support adding/removing tasks concurrently by replacing the tickets with a circularly linked list of atomic pointers, so when one task is cancelled the "next" of the "prev" item can be atomically swapped, but I don't have a use case for that and it's annoying enough to write in Rust that I didn't want to bother with it.

(1) The code for this is here: https://github.com/m-hilgendorf/sequex/. I call it "sequex" for sequence-mutex. It could also be called a round-robin lock or something like that.

---

You could do this with just a ticket lock, where you take a ticket up front N times and then give one ticket to each task. When a task's ticket comes up it acquires the lock, but before releasing the lock, it takes another ticket. That's where I started, but I found this implementation cleaner.

Why would AI provide better diagnoses if the training data comes from humans?
I'm of the opinion that the thalamo-coritcal loop, combined with chaotic brain activity, and randomness, give rise to consciousness. The "hard" problem is only hard when we put consciousness on a pedestal. If we have learned anything from LLMs it's that some clever statistics and data compression which predicts the next word can give rise to complex and seemingly "intelligent" behavior. LLMs are not conscious, but they lift the veil of our conceit. There's no hard problem of consciousness, it's an artifact of a chaotic thalamo-cortical loop that recursively processes inputs -- including outputs from previous neuronal activity.

Entire central coast plus LA offers much of the same.
More importantly I see this as a band aid for underperforming products. The startup space struggles with this already, but instead of focusing on the product deficiencies and building something people want now we just enable some SaaS that pretends to be a human spewing marketing masquerading as a legitimate human's perspective. Talk about a bottom of the barrel approach. The Internet is going to need to go insular and back to niche forums that are under lock and key from this toxicity.

My company did rewrite some old code - starting about 15 years ago. It took a billion dollars over many years to get to more or less feature parity. (there are some rarely used features we will never port). On hindsight I think we should have refactored the existing code in place - it would have been similar costs and we are already seeing with hindsight many of the things we thought was good are not where we want to be with the new code either.
Boeing and Conspiracies aside, this is the scary thing.

I'm personally really excited for this feature: one of the hard lessons around any sort of digital signing is that users do not manage or store their keys correctly, and that poor UX/DX around signing tools (most notably GPG) leads to pervasive normalization of deviance around unsafe practices. Lifting digital signing to the identity later (i.e. by binding it to a digital identity that can be provably controlled, like a GitHub repository) sidesteps nearly all of these problems.

Using a a multiple to guess is highly inaccurate. You also cannot use stock market as a way to accurately assume it will nullify inflation. You need to use some sort of TIPS treasury as a baseline calculation, not a volitle market. If you are messing around with the stock market, you could screw it up when you feel lucky or panic.

The best way to retire is to always have some sort of backup skill income and do some side jobs on your own leisure to keep it sharp. With any number you can still go under for whatever reasons and when you do, you are really screwed
