I feel like oil companies are somehow hiding it. Oil is absolutely everywhere from transportation to shipping to energy to packaging to building materials. I simply can't believe that Apples revenue is larger than some of the biggest o

They "handpicked" those because they're some of the most common. This is discussed in their paper. The "completely crazy" strategy was state-of-the-art and published by the WIV in 2016 https://twitter.com

Since 1977 California has had the California Tax Postponement Program to protect low income seniors from the economy. If you're a low income senior and own your house in California you can defer property taxes indefinitely so that no m

Right. You could drop the center of Barcelona right on top Santa Cruz and have a vastly improved city.

For the environment, and to not "ruin the city". Or is your belief that the city was the exact perfect size when his bloodline moved in and it's only people who showed up later that are undeserving?

Neat use of these is the "fast multipole method" for stimulating galaxies. If you want to compute the gravitational force on a given star exactly you need to figure out the forces from all other stars and add them up. This will be

Right. But the thing to realize about Prop 13 is that it was passed in malice. Angry voters wanted a "tax revolt" because they were upset with the state. That's why it expands to all property and not just primary residences (

The intent of the law was malicious. That's why it applies everywhere. Angry voters wanted a "tax revolt". Jerry Brown's Prop 8, on the same ballot, would have given homeowners a specific break but they wanted blood.

We have that already. The California Tax Postponement Program. It stacks on top of Prop 13. Prop 13 is just a handout, it could disappear overnight and grandma wouldn't have to pay a dime.

In many states low income seniors can opt out of property taxes and take a lien on the house instead. This way they feel zero tax pressure no matter what happens to the local economy. Examples are California Tax Postponement Program and New

This happens in California to. When you buy the state still decides the value of the land (else people would do under the table cash deals like they do with cars). Usually the assessment and sale price are not far off.
