In many jurisdictions they do, yes. A general guideline is that if it requires an permit it will typically trigger an assessment and thus increase in property tax

This should be the top comment IMO. Land Value Tax, coupled with much saner zoning laws and removing artificial restrictions on safe building proposals, would be the 1-2-3 move to resolving many of the worst aspects of the housing issues we

You may be interested in learning about the Land Value Tax[0] which will in effect, taxes become more burdensome for leaving land unproductive (e.g., empty housing or land). It also shifts the calculus on home improvements, which means remo

Its a false belief that distro based package management workflows are, or ever were, more secure. Its the same problem, maybe one step removed. Look at all the exploits with things like libxz There was also the python 2.7 problem for a long

The problem Flutter has is highly highly dependent on Google, from funding to development. That it is also the only real use case for Dart also doesn’t help matters. While I agree the technology is very good and in some cases superior it do

I don’t mean Dylibs like you find on macOS, I mean loading a binary lib from an arbitrary directory and being able to use it, without compiling it into the program. It’s been some time since I looked into this so I wanted to be clear on wha

if I recall correctly Rust does not support any form of dynamic linking or library loading. Most of the community I’ve interacted with are big on either embedding a scripting engine or WASM. Lots of momentum on WASM based plugins for stuff.

React Native continues to be one of the best technology bets I’ve ever made. At one point I really thought that Flutter would outclass it but typical Google project stuff has really put a damper on it from all I can see. It’s not better tha

It’s because business demand speed and shipping over other concerns. We had to fight hard for proper quality controls in the face of the LLM coding assistance boom where I work. These are great tools but they have limits and can lead to poo

Anecdotally I also noticed a shift in shoe buying among my peer group (25-39 year olds) in that they take foot health and comfort more seriously and do more research on that front. My podiatrist has seen a huge uptick in younger patients si

So one batch of crimes is fine? Is that what you’re saying? This seems like an intellectual gymnastics exercise in justifying corruption

Again, that doesn’t make the assets particularly liquid. They did this and that’s fine, but if they hadn’t done this you’d be stuck with a piece of paper even after the lockup period ends. Until traditional RSUs that once they are vested yo

It is certainly a market, but I wouldn’t call it a free market. Healthcare, like real estate, is a dysfunctional marketplace lacking real competition

If you can show me that they can sell without OpenAI approval on the secondary market, I would concede in a heartbeat. If not, I am to assume this isn’t true, and that they are functionally non liquid possible assets at the discretion of Op

The article talks about averages, but what I want know is the median. The usual situation, and I have zero reason to believe OpenAI is different, is that stock options are top heavy leaning heavily toward executives. I want to know rank and

Wouldn’t fast efficient light rail been generally better? From a social and economic perspective it would be more efficient. The real problem with that only tends to be political, namely there is a strange aversion to properly built public

Better way to look at it: why are people so afraid of losing their job, and how do we reasonably remove the fear of losing one? Denmark may provide some good guidance here, as they have a good balance between social welfare and protections

If you believe a person can drive another person suicide through how they act, I don’t see how this would be any different, especially since they both rely on power asymmetry. If we don’t want to hook MongoDB responsible in some manner than

Power user is not equivalent to technologists, though they overlap. Making inroads into power user marketshare would be at least a modest increase in Firefox marketshare, given how small their current share is.

It can be seen though. Thats why I referred back to the Arc browser. People saw the real differences and it had fairly brisk adoption across a number of different type of folks, it didn't narrowly target technologists. Our designers, f

They’re not in a position to completely ignore some of the current AI trends. That much I can wrap my head around. The seeming double down makes no sense to me. It won’t suddenly make Mozilla more popular. It could be useful, yes, however I
