There aren't many localities in which AirBnBs are a significant fraction of the real estate market. For example, San Francisco sees 40k tourists/day vs. a population of 800k. That's just 5%, and bear in mind SF is the cultura

I normally don't get much from presentation slides; they aren't even intended to be consumed independent of the speaker's remarks and they often amount to the bullet points of someone's outline. But in this case, the art

It takes many months to develop new housing in the U.S. Even when you have local political support, there's a lot of custom manual work and so forth. It's also very hard to find examples of long-term successful large-scale (town-s

Suppose you did pay each legislator $50M to work for the good of the whole country. Do you think this would prevent Manchin from being influenced by a $5M lagniappe? It's an extra 10%! And a certain well-known politician infamously too

Every ex-Oracle engineer I've met says it was a terrible place to work compared to the big tech company where I work now. I also don't know anyone who went to work for Oracle after leaving my current company, fwiw.

One Medical is mass-market quasi-concierge medicine. It's a good compromise for middle class people. But the level of service is starkly different between One Medical and MD2. As you should expect when the costs are two orders of magni

For something in the neighborhood of $50k you can sign up with a concierge medicine practice such as md2. You would get an excellent primary care doctor with great connections who is able and willing to coordinate and expedite all your care

Distributing it gives freedom of choice. No need to nominate a blessed CA that everyone has to use. It's fine for anyone to mine cheesecoin. Probably better for this specific trade group in fact, if nonmembers decide to use this same b

No, I don't think so. From the article I think there is a trade association that views fraud as a problem and thinks that that a verifiable provenance would help. I don't see an implication that the trade association or its member

Yes, and I became a user of Uber (ubercab in those days) because I preferred being able to book a ride just-in-time using the app rather than well in advance on the telephone, not because it was much cheaper than the car service or the taxi

What's the incentive for the fraudster in this? The article doesn't really say, but it does link to one example YouTuber who demonstrates this fraud; he says this is a great way to get a free email account. You seem to suggest thi

The exact amount doesn't matter for this, all that matters is that you vote against taxes. It is sufficient that you suspect you may owe some amount and realize that you are required to figure it out. If it's hard to figure out, t

Interesting, I see nothing available from store.apple.com until 6 April earliest, and 29 April for m1 max and even later depending on options.

Though, there is a shortage of m1 MacBooks. Is it really because they are low value (margin?) products relative to iPhone? I'm not sure.

I live in CA and according to my W2 box 12 DD, my cost is much more than this. Sure, maybe under this tax proposal my personal expense would go up but judging by my W2 and a quick scan of ACA estimated costs for a 22yo, the aggregate cost o

If the cost of electricity rose 100% now, the kwh used to mine bitcoin would drop correspondingly. IOW, Bitcoin isn't a scheme to destroy the world by exhausting energy or destroying the planet, it's just a bunch of people who wan
