People actually do that?

I thought white boarding is the stress part.

Excuse yourself to the washroom. Call the front desk letting them know you are feeling unwell, must’ve been the food you just ate prior.

Ask to reschedule with a different interviewer if possible, idk because you are embarrassed or something.

when we don't have enough clean energy to go around,

so you are telling me renewables can't even handle 0.5% increase in demand?

What a dead end technology. Can't wait until we upgrade to nuclear instead.

Precedent exists (minus students)

The UK just codified this into visa law.

Really? Is there a list?

No one has actually really built such a quantum computer yet

What are you talking about? We've had very small quantum universal computers for some time, and quantum annealers for two decades. How did you miss that?

I regret to inform you that low bit strength RSA was even broken with a quantum annealer, not even a universal quantum machine. the NSA is a customer of D-Wave.

IBM's quantum roadmap has them shipping 1121 qubit machine next year, this year they've shipped a 400+ qubit machine. So far they've been able to keep doubling the number of qubits every year. These are universal quantum computers.

If they can keep scaling at that rate, both RSA and ECDSA are toast within a decade.

You're looking at it wrong.

Truth sometimes hurts, doesn't it?

truth is the greatest weapon against the violence of ignorant tyranny.

Do you see this work in practice?

All I see is a dead internet filled with AI-generated fake detritus-like content, attention and behaviour manipulation, all sorts of dark patterns.

Truth alone doesn’t come close to protect you against ignorant violence. Ignorance is multiplied by tech at much higher multiple, simple because there is often little profit in spreading the truth.

why, because we ran out of habitable planets in the galaxy?

is relational algebra disappearing?

Probably not.

That’s been known for a long time, possibly centuries.

morphine was used to treat depression as late as last century, and probably remains a common folk remedy even today.

Peanuts, just a regular day in DeFi.

why should one do that?

truth is often undefined, and you can simply weigh sides with probabilities.

There is however 100% certainty this post will be downvoted.

How good is the keyboard?

How’s the trackpad?

Is good keyboard quantifiable somehow? As good as old T?

Numbers?

Well, we are at the point where farmers have to add nutrients to soil.

Isn’t there an entire flavour industry?

Seems much easier fixed than trying to invent fake meat from scratch.

why does 100:1 leverage contributes to upside, but isn't cancelled out by 100:1 to downside?

why anyways?

don't they say the chat is end to end encrypted?

AKA: "share your contacts with the NSA only"

valuations are always subjective. you pretend it's like some sort of precise science, but it is not, never was, and never will be. ffs, the example is a major international port, not a cookie-cutter shoebox-sized condo.

The very first thing that will happen upon implementation of LVT is simple "rebranding" of "renting" into "mortgages".

What tax do you charge then? some LLC "owns" the port. some bank provides it a "mortgage".

What's the tax due on such mortgaged property? Previous rent? What if such rent was never charged and it was mortgaged from day zero? What then? What if there is no comparable entity to compare to? Just some half-ass guess?

What's the LVT tax on the Suez Canal? Panama Canal?

It's FAR from trivial.

Note that a single family dewlling on .75 acres likely costs the government a lot of money to provide services (plumbing, sewer, electric etc) and is likely already a net debtor to the city/county. This style of development is why American (and Canadian) cities are going broke.

Maybe in a dying city nobody wants to live in anyway.

Most costs aren't spending the entire budget on plumbing/sewer/electric. All of those are often billed separately, with surcharges for infra development. RE developers are on the hook for those in new developments.

Largest costs usually are: education, police, fire, roads. Except roads, these are orthogonal to density.

So in short, your argument: people are net debtors because we have roads. Plainly false.

3) It could be personal bias, but a lot of LVT arguments seem to implicitly assume that more rental units is a good thing

The house you 'own', in fact is nothing more than tenancy. Just a different kind of tenancy. Stop paying property taxes and find out you still have a landlord.

I think far bigger issue is how to apply LVT. a cookie-cutter approach is guaranteed to fail. an overly complex system is just another byzantine labyrinth of a tax code that'll be gamed.

I like Georgist taxes, but it's unclear that tax incidence will fall entirely on the rentier class.

Important land is always unique, and therefore taxation would be have be incredibly dialed-in, no? A busy major international port would need to be taxed very differently than a sparsely attended beach just a mile away. This seems very difficult to get right.

Have there been practical applications that show that's not a concern?

I have repeatedly seen HNers argue that COVID is harmless to children (no qualifiers), and that the cure is worse than the disease.

HNers?

How about UK's JCVI (Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation), a government advisory panel?

"Covid-19: JCVI opts not to recommend universal vaccination of 12-15 year olds"

Source: https://www.bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n2180?ijkey=350e95850073...

UK JCVI declined to recommend the vaccine on risk/benefit basis. That is a scientific fact that, in your own words, "the cure is worse than the disease" for some.

JCVI membership:

  Professor Andrew Pollard, Chair (University of Oxford)
  Professor Lim Wei Shen, Chair COVID-19 immunisation (Nottingham University Hospitals)
  Professor Anthony Harnden, Deputy Chair (University of Oxford)
  Dr Kevin Brown (Public Health England)
  Dr Rebecca Cordery (Public Health England)
  Dr Maggie Wearmouth (East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust)
  Professor Matt Keeling (University of Warwick)
  Alison Lawrence (lay member)
  Professor Robert Read (Southampton General Hospital)
  Professor Anthony Scott (London School of Hygiene & Tropical   Medicine)
  Professor Adam Finn (University of Bristol)
  Dr Fiona van der Klis (National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, Netherlands)
  Professor Maarten Postma (University of Groningen)
  Professor Simon Kroll (Imperial College London)
  Dr Martin Williams (University Hospitals Bristol)
  Professor Jeremy Brown (University College London Hospitals)

Looking forward to your explanation on how these world-renowed immunologists are spouting tautologies and are morally and intellectually bankrupt.

not a new installation of foreign beliefs.

if advertising works - installation of new beliefs is a huge successful industry.

Do you think advertising works?

their techniques

can you link to the exact regimen? tia

a lot of subreddits are basically marketing departments of some corporates.

those have paid employee mods where only posts and comments favourable to corporate goals are allowed. not quite the MSM, but I'd guess corporates would want to remain within the prevailing politically correct Overton window.

they don't start it.

Yeah, a powerful apparatus that is MSM, would never be used to influence opinions and install beliefs.

they're not brainwashed zombies, they're collectives of similarly-minded people who give in to their predisposed biases as exploited by MSM/social media for profit.

you ever heard of the 50 cent army? do you think only China has that, doesn't exist in the US?
