Some of the problems are solved by modest ticketing. As mentioned if you have 5 million visitors a year and 50 euro tickets you make 250 million in revenue. For the city proper being down to 50,000 people that’s $5,000 less in property tax

Except you know that time Ethereum forked because the core contract on Ethereum was stolen.

The tool itself is dangerous and provides very small benefit. Cars are also dangerous but are too useful to consider banning or restricting. Guns don’t provide nearly enough benefit to justify the harms they cause. I’d like to see the US ge

Except even with a third-party app store Apple still has control over what permissions apps need as well as the developer API itself. So it's not clear to me that a third-party app store can ignore privacy without getting a user to cli

Most countries have laws that require accessibility whenever a building is updated/rebuilt. It can be slightly harder in countries with more older buildings. But access to random spaces in public is less important if you can’t afford t

Asking for data sharing without specifying exactly which data is included and exactly which data is exempt is ridiculous. The standard for laws need to be far higher. Which metrics? Which data? If the lawmakers mean all data they are goin

You seem to be taking the position that printing money is the worst form of funding government and we should only do it if there are no other ways to do so. Printing money functions as a distorted but less bureaucratic and less invasive wea

Well he’s already mentioned his disability will be denied by the state and that he will have to appeal. Most countries don’t have a default policy of assuming disability claims are fraudulent and doing everything in their power to minimize

I’m sorry you live in one of the worst countries in the world to be disabled in. While this can be challenging everywhere, the US is especially bad at providing adequate support, both financially and otherwise. What might help you is lookin

You’re crazy. Printing money funds socially useful things in government. Losing money to scammers is pure destruction. The idea that we should put up with massive amounts of fraud in order to destroy social safety nets is quite laughable.

It seems you’re right because all the major companies in the space are running at huge losses and not just due to an intentional choice to scale rapidly. But it also seems very surprising this is true. Uber gets away with charging one side

If your computers produce so much heat that they heat your house during winter you should also factor in the extra AC costs in summer.

More important than the raw performance numbers my computer comes with a three year parts and service warrantee and I can even pay a small premium to cover accidents and spills. I’m basically guaranteed my computer works for three years or

He’s trying to prop asset prices up for current homeowners who are outraged at what interest rate rises are doing to the “earnings” they made from their home over the last few years. We’ve gone from a world where people’s homes made more th

Needing to work mostly. I have the skill set to teach and considered becoming an elementary school teacher at one point in my life. I know socialization is a big factor but I feel like that can be accounted for with lots of extra curricular

Base is important but tricky to get a large proportion of. You can negotiate some increase in base but if you want to go too aggressively getting a lot of it will lower total comp. The fact is companies pay base with cash on hand and pay o

So far in my market even accounting for the drop in prices, monthly payments were slightly larger.

There are some layoffs but from what I’ve seen so far hiring salaries are not coming down. This to me speaks of a subset of tech companies slowing down rather than a general crash. There are plenty of companies still hiring and hiring at to

Only because a certain side of politics thinks having a character of a certain identity is a political statement. Maybe people and characters should be free to be who they are without it being a big deal.

That home ownership being more affordable is going to completely disappear as interest rates go up. Yes monthly payments were slightly lower with tiny interest rates but the assets themselves were unreasonably high in price. With interest r

This is huge. Essentially if they find anyone sold crypto to unaccredited investors they would be engaging in illegal sales of a security. This may lead to lawsuits where crypto sellers find they are on the hook for the losses of people th

I know the current Supreme Court of the US is grossly biased in their decisions on such questions so it’s not clear what organization in the US would actually be capable of enforcing this fairly.

It wouldn’t if the obvious consequence of the bluntness was to chase good teachers out of the schools that most need them. And that’s what a blunt policy that punishes teachers for having students enter their class at a low level does.

Of course a start-up is asking you to ask the questions that lead you to a rose-coloured view of their equity. Most start-ups fail and most that do exit make small gains after investment capital. It’s possible to get rich by betting on the

My point is don’t actively screw those people by coming up with a dumb compensation formula that punishes them for students underperforming before they ever entered their class. If you have merit based pay you need to evaluate how much a st

Plenty of teachers are willing to work in an environment where they feel they could make the biggest impact. My mother spent her whole career working in schools that could be classified as inner city with high percentages of new immigrants.

So all the teachers want to work in rich suburban schools where students perform above grade level and no one wants to work in poor inner-city schools where they don’t? The only reasonable thing you can base merit pay on is a delta. You tes

There is a degree of interaction that can be nice beyond having close friends. None of my neighbors are my close friends and we don't go into each others houses. But we say hi on the street, and sometimes talk for a few minutes about w
