The influx of units is good. But imo the larger impact is that it’s harder to shop around for wealthier tenants that can pay bigger rents. It helps shift power back to renters.

Taxes should absolutely be punitive for socially destructive behaviors.

FIDE looks a lot more foolish having the greatest and most famous chess player reject them over a dispute about clothing. Also, he looked very sharp in his outfit with the jeans. Frankly it was a better ensemble than I’d look in one of my s

You, as chump trying to get a a job, are not similar to Magnus, the greatest chess player of all time, trying to play in a chess tournament. FIDE is well within their rights to demand he not wear jeans. Magnus is well within his rights to t

I’d guess possibly a majority would migrate there if given the opportunity to do so safely, legally and without abandoning immediate family though

That’s not relevant

You do not need differentiation for competition. It’s called perfect competition and it’s a race to the bottom for price, which is the ideal outcome here.

It’s a coincidence

The rationale of the banks is clear. The problem is that these are perverse incentives. The costs hit all customers, not just the ones who use credit cards. And the benefits accrue largely to the cardholders of premium cards, which are weal

1) the card is expensive in an upfront way that is difficult for poorer people to justify for playing money games 2) getting the value of the card is contingent on spending more money. A poor person with fewer expenses won’t get nearly as m

Consumer friendly is not the only thing we should care about. It’s also utterly fucked that it’s a system that disproportionately rewards people for being wealthy as richer people have access to better cards
435.
by jncfhnb 2y ago
The problem is not that credit cards exist; it’s that the market dynamics do not force it to be a minimal profit service layer. We have credit cards regifting multiple percentage points off of every purchase which creates a vicious incentiv

The duopoly isn’t really as problematic as the concept itself. Credit cards, where customers are bribed to insert a middleman into all transactions and suppliers are largely powerless to refuse it; are a plague. The switching costs of a con

In the sense that you can write any writeable program, sure. But that doesn’t mean there’s an obvious path to do so. The brain is a part of a much larger system. We don’t really have a clue how to model these things, even theoretically. It’

And I fairly strongly suggest that these models will not work for brain diseases either. These problems are not merely neuron issues. It’s like modeling veins without modeling the heart. You can maybe do it, although it’ll probably have a l

They could be a set of inputs, but there is currently nothing being done to consider these inputs. For all practical purposes these inputs is being ignored; and I’m claiming this is problematic because the system generating those inputs is

It’s not really the testableness that makes the problem. It’s the fact that you’re asking about X where X is undefined. If you can provide a satisfying definition of X it’s very clear

I hope Eddy Cue, SVP of Apple Services, gets to explain that quote in antitrust testimony at some point when he has to explain how Apple’s policy doesn’t assume ownership of users.

I feel like these kinds of things are misguided. Our “minds” are not, for lack of a better term, Chinese rooms operating on external stimulus. Our minds aren’t just brains, they’re deeply tied to our bodily state and influenced by hormonal

Folks have an unhealthy mentality about beating the market, imo. You don’t need to beat the market if you’re not a fund manager trying to advertise your record. You just need to do well. The market is up 27% YTD. Most global trends suggest,

No, that argument applies to the owner of the gift card accounting for the fact that the gift card may not be used (and isn’t a great method assuming they intend to spend it and expect to get the full value). What I’m talking about is the p

Regardless, you can still account for breakage without any formal expiry

by jncfhnb 2y ago
Not really. Gift cards don’t expire and you’re allowed to just make reasonable assumptions about what portion will never be redeemed.

Based on their forecasts it’s still pretty sensible. I don’t personally believe the forecasts are sensible. But that’s besides the point.
