To make these liveable, you have to have very strong central planning. Many former/currently communist cities look like this with varying height. In Moscow for example, new apartments tend to be 25-40 stories high. However, they have l

Firms usually have diversified holdings and will use the event like this to write-down losses and optimise taxation for the next year. Where this is a problem is for people with undiversified holdings, such as early employees exercising sto

Or better yet, remove corporations from being eligible to enjoy prop. 13 all together - whether commercial, industrial, farm or residential. This would keep grandma in her home or farmstead, but prevent corps from selling, but doing tax fre

There is a request desktop version in iOS Safari, just like in chrome, but as the other answer mentioned - it’s up to the site to comply. I’ve used my iPad Pro as a portal to Google Cloud and AWS for almost 2 years in personal projects. It

What this article is also missing is the fact that a lot of the existing data problems have to do with the cost of obtaining this data. When we move to a more universal collection of the data in a structured format that can then be used to

If we were talking about generating similar level of services from taxes, it could be discussed. Just to name two big ones, Sweden has free top rate healthcare and education. Imagine wiping out all student debt and health payments?!

This is where things get complex with ML. Any dimension that is correlated with the protected categories can potentially get you into a biased and discriminatory outcome. Because embedding are not necessarily transparent, it’s hard to evalu

This also depends on why you are choosing this technology - is it part of your existing stack or do you have in-house experts in this tech? While Lucene synax is very powerful, it is not SQL as pointed out by the OP. If you have a lot of sp

We are all entitled to our opinions. My opinion is that these vehicles are a lot safer than most human drivers and I do not see any justification for the vitriol displayed. Think about it - running a car off the road so you can yell at them

You need good stencils for Google Draw. There a number of links out there for UML stuff and actually works quite well. Unfortunately, out of the box it’s definitely on the Spartan-side.

Amazon is only truly dominant in US. In EU there is much more of a mixed bag and APAC is a completely different story. They also do not white label as far as I know, so partnerships with cable operators are still mostly for Roku and Google.

PVP is player vs player, where you can kill or be killed by other players. UO has a complex reputation and title system to help with this. Murders actually counted and had a price in game play.

Reading this made me think of how iOS and macOS are evolving - the UIKit and iOS apps on Mac. Strategy feels similar - make things compatible enough and force apps to adapt somewhat. Of course this is a gross oversimplification, but who kno
