While true (the landlord is obviously making money, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it), there are other variables worth considering.

If you decide to move, you pay 6% in real estate fees (extortion) to sell / buy. If you rent, the house never changes hands, and hence this fee isn't paid.
The majority of our pre-seed funding comes from a US-based VC firm with an uncapped SAFE. And our investors haven't been made aware of the situation yet, but we are thinking about informing them on Wednesday this week.

Thank you very much for the suggestion, we have also thought about starting a new entity, but we are not so sure on how to transfer our assets (SAFE note, domain, IP, employees, customers, code bases, etc) to the new entity, and how this would affect the relationship with our existing funders.

What do you think the pros and cons would be?
It's a good read. It's very pro organ donation but also talks about the dark side of this practice, of potentially killing patients to harvest their organs, among other things.

I am more familiar with the emotional toll organ donation takes on potential recipients who are basically waiting and hoping for someone young and healthy to die in a tragic accident that they might live.

Because of the focus of this piece, I will leave this link to two previous comments of mine:

There was a proposal called TUBA (TCP/UDP with Bigger Addresses). It was voted down in favor of IPng.
Some forget that the Motorola 68000 was the first truly modern processor. It was cheap enough that regular people could actually be exposed to, use, and later on own, machines with them. It facilitated the first commonplace GUI-based computers. It was designed well enough from the start that code written for the original processor can run without modification on later processors. The family gave us the first taste of a common processor that could run modern OSes with arbitrarily large amounts of memory, virtual memory, and performant multitasking years before Intel's first proper, common 32 bit processor.

In contrast, programs on the 8088 / 8086 are vastly different than on the 80286, and vastly different again than on the 80386. The 80386 came out finally in 1985, but even this processor has shortcomings (lack of atomic instructions, for example) that make it so no modern OS supports it any longer.

The Motorola 68020, on the other hand, came out in 1984 and can run fully modern OSes now, in 2024, forty years later.

Whereas much more modern processors like the Intel Itanic came out more than half a decade after the release of the Motorola 68060, it has already died and been relegated to the trash bin of history (with gcc removing support for it recently), whereas m68k has llvm / clang support, excellent support in gcc, a huge following in the retro communities, new products based on them, and a thriving platform, the Amiga, that has never stopped making software for these chips.

Quite an impressive architecture!

> Ras al-Hekma for those curious. It sounds like a terrible deal on all sides

It actually makes sense.

Most tourism in Egypt comes from Eastern Europeans (especially Russians and Ukrainians), for whom Sharm al-Sheikh is their Cabo.

If you've looked at a map, it's also located in Sinai, where there's an ongoing Muslim Brotherhood turned IS insurgency (which also enflamed neighboring Gaza).

Moving resort tourism to much more defensible Ras al-Hekma works, and the UAE being the New York of the region had enough capital to co-invest to develop it (also didn't hurt to help line up politicians pockets).

And Egypt (with UAE, Saudi, and some Indian capital) has been building out alternatives like Siwa. I actually chatted a eco-lodge owner from Siwa while I was stuck at a layover in Istanbul Airport - a lot of their tourism it now targeting the domestic market, Gulf market, some western hippy types, and Indians.

> My concern is there won't be any local economy or businesses left under these policies when it all dries up

The Egyptian economy is stabilizing and UAE, Saudi, Chinese, and Indian money is flowing in as FDI [0], and pushing reforms accordingly.

Heck, Egypt's GDP Growth Rate in FY22 was 6.6% according to the World Bank, and has always been between 2.5-6% post-coup.

It seems to me that increasing urbanisation and desire to live in cities could easily have pushed city prices up much faster than anything else, while less populated areas stagnate.

No, they aren't fictional by definition. It's possible wizards exist in objective reality. That's an empirical question, not a definitional one.

Gh-dash: A beautiful CLI dashboard for GitHub
I fell very far down this rabbit hole trying to figure out the history of library link orders and symbol resolution. One fun outcome of which was finding that the first ever public release of a manpage for ld.so on Linux listed RPATH as deprecated. Finding mailing lists from before the source ware transition is hard, some of it exists if you follow the path back to the Solaris forums, but only some. I’ll look through my archives for the features you listed, but I don’t think I uncovered anything about them specifically. Good luck!
It’s funny to me that people still think $1 billion is a lot of money for a government.

5 million people per year visit the MET in NYC, which is the 5th most popular museum in the world. Tickets are $30. Seven years of revenue is $1 billion.

Almost 15 million people visit the Pyramids of Giza per year. Egypt is the 9th most popular tourist destination in the world.

If only half of those people visit the new museum and spend $30 on admission that means they cross $1 billion in revenue in 5 years, and that assumes nobody buys a damn thing from the gift shop or donates to the endowment.
No, that's not how it works. The housing market is not like the stock market. Houses are not fungible assets. I could list my house for $1 today and by tomorrow no one would have even made a single phone call to enquire about it. A house is not sold until a motivated buyer is found, no matter how low you drop the price.
> ...https conversion had the benefit of every operator being able to transition on their own time frame. ... IP not having that luxury is a profound problem.

This I don't get. I expect that Google will be far more likely to make it extremely difficult (or perhaps impossible) to use Chrome to visit non-TLS-wrapped HTTP sites on the Internet in the next five years than the operators of the various networks that make up the Internet are to just shut off IPv4 on their network.

I expect IPv4 will not be shut off within the lifetime of anyone posting on this forum today... and why would it be? Once just about everyone has well-functioning IPv6 access, release a recommendation to ISPs that unless a customer has an even vaguely-reasonable need for a globally-routable IPv4 address, that ISPs substantially reduce their IPv4 usage by providing IPv4 service to their customers through some CGNAT.

This would ensure that the few remaining hosts with IPv4-only service will remain reachable, that any customers who can bother to write a letter to their ISP asking for a globally-routable IPv4 address can get one, and a ton of IPv4 space gets opened up for whatever we might need to do with it in the future... just in case.

"modern Sardinians"

I'm no expert but that is going to need quite a citation. Bear in mind that the term "Briton" is quite tricky.

Stonehenge as a thing has existed from roughly 3000BC onwards. The stones may have come from what is now Wales. The peoples involved are generally called Britons.

Sardinia is an island in the Med. and although there will almost certainly be some small intermixing with what is now the UK and Eire, it will be small.

Perhaps you are conflating Sardinia with Cornwall or something?
> It's the same exact load as tracking everyone's income source to impose a flat tax. Taxing income is the same "tracking load" whether the tax system is progressive, flat, or regressive.

It is not. If you go and work for a corporation and they pay you a salary without a flat tax, they don't know what your tax rate will be. It depends on whether you do any work for someone else, or sell any property with a taxable gain, or have any tax deductions, all of which change your taxable income and therefore your tax rate, so now you have to keep track of all of them.

With a flat tax the rate is always the same, so your employer withholds the tax from your paycheck, the seller of some deductible product simply doesn't pay tax on it to begin with, and there is no individualized calculation to do because the rate for each thing is always the same and known ahead of time.

> No it's a flat system with a $12k UBI. The effective tax rate of a millionaire and a billionaire is the same in your system because it's flat.

The effective tax rate of a millionaire and a billionaire are as much the same in the existing system. Someone who makes $5 million currently pays ~36% compared to someone who makes $5 billion who pays ~37% (because the highest bracket is 37%).

> A million of income would pay 29.64%, a billion of income 29.99%. That's literally less progressive than those incomes would pay today.

That has nothing to do with the mechanism, it's just because the example rate was 30% instead of 37%. You can make it arbitrarily more or less progressive by changing the flat rate and the amount of the UBI.

But also notice that you wouldn't need tax rates to be as high, because in a simpler system less of the money would be wasted on administrative overhead or arbitrary constraints on what the poor can do with the money which causes it not to go as far for them. And they would spend less time doing benefits paperwork which they could instead spend doing work that earns money, or use the time for DIY instead of paying someone else to do things they didn't have time to do. Allowing everyone -- including them -- to pay lower tax rates from the increase in efficiency.
Yeah but you're at a gas station for that stop (and you had to drive there). Charging an EV at home at night involves approximately 10 seconds to plug the car in followed by going inside, eating dinner, watching tv, going to sleep etc just like you would have without the EV.

Unless the average needed charge time is more than the average gap you have between "come home" and "go out again" it's a meaningless number.

As someone who owns an EV and doesn't regularly drive more than ~200km in a single trip the EV is much more convenient than my old ICE. "Oh no I need to stop off at the petrol station before/after work" used to be a fairly regular occurence and now it's something I never think about.
Suez crisis too
It allows for looting the national treasury today.

All large construction projects in Egypt go to the military first. Who then subcontracts it out, essentially paying the generals their cut. Hence why Egypt is building their new capital city, to placate the military elite.

The new capital is also to riot proof their capital. Large dense cities are hard to defend with armies. Hence Myanmar doing the same, even China is building a mini capital to the south of their existing capital.

That being said, this big museum does make sense. Egypt is tourism dependent, and it needs star attractions beyond the scammer infested pyramids. Egypt's reputation amongst tourists has taken a horrible dent due to the extreme concentration of street hagglers, and it needs all the help it can get.

I grew up in the 90s. If plans deviated from what we decided before I left the house, it was a huge chore to communicate with parents. It involved finding a pay phone, then calling a list of different numbers to try to catch parents at the office or home or wherever they might be. And it sucked.

It’s weird to think that anyone would hold this up as an example of the good old days. Rose colored glasses in effect.

Notably, pay phones don’t exist anymore, so you couldn’t actually replicate the 90s era communication if you wanted to.

Yes, the big secret here is that CRDTs + Braid will enable a higher level of abstraction for programmers: an Abstraction of Distributed State.

As a programmer, you'll no longer have to write any networking code. You won't be touching HTTP headers and methods. That will all be handled by libraries for you, which will let you read and write any state, anywhere on the network, as if it's a local variable on your own computer—already downloaded, and always up-to-date.

The CRDT handles network delays, and race conditions, under multiple writers, so that everything merges automatically, and you don't have to think about them.

The Braid Protocol ensures that all servers, everywhere on the network, speak "state sync" in a standard way, even if they have different implementations behind the scenes, even with different algorithms.

This means that our libraries will be able to detect which algorithms need to be employed to synchronize with any service you are connecting to, and implement all that for you. You, as the application programmer, will just read and write variables like:

state['https://foo.com/news-feed'].push({
author: 'me',
post: 'hey guys!!!',
inreplyto: state['https://bar.net/post/2423h'].id
})

The reason why HTTP gets abused today is that it doesn't provide full synchronization support, which means that programmers have to abuse it in order to actually write web apps, which becomes a pain in the ass, and then everything feels a lot easier when you drop down into a WebSocket and get rid of the cruft. But now you're writing a custom WebSocket protocol, that only you will fully understand...

...unless you document it, and try to follow a standard like AsyncAPI, which gets you part of the way there...

...but what you really need is a State Synchronization protocol, and libraries that abstract away all the networking for you, and guarantee interoperability, creating a system of shared state. We're getting closer to this glorious world. The magical statebus in the sky that connects all our state together. When the abstraction is complete, it's going to blow everything else away.

We don't need Web Browsers to implement this natively -- that'll just be a performance improvement, like when JSON.stringify() and parse() became native in browsers. The important part is defining a standard that allows us to invest in robust State Sync algorithms and libraries, and lets developers invest in the applications that share this beautifully interoperable state, and make this new abstraction succeed across the globe.

I see now through a US & REIT centric bias, I think.

Given a market like NZ’s size, growth/prices, and attractiveness I can see demand like speculation, STRs, and 2nd homes possibly affecting utilization more than supply.

Given US markets that are larger, cheaper, and less attractive where investment properties fueled on cheap credit were rented out or to a much smaller degree flipped, it’s truly, significantly more difficult to imagine vs simple lack of supply (especially given historically low US rental & homeowner vacancy rates).
When it comes to robust encryption techniques, the AES algorithm in CBC mode in Java stands out for its security features. CBC mode, short for Cipher Block Chaining, introduces an extra layer of protection by incorporating a random Initialization Vector (IV) into the encryption process.
