I dunno. If the store has bathrooms will those be watched too? What's stopping someone from entering the bathroom and changing? It's true that human surveillance can help a lot, but if that's the case you might as well just g

I'm aware you're under surveillance. I'm skeptical that it would be able to maintain the connection the entire time you're in the store. For example, what if you changed clothing? The Pikachu example, I'd argue is e

by tabeth 9y ago
No mention of people wearing masks or putting them on after the fact or better yet, completely changing clothing? That's the easiest, simplest and cheapest way to beat this.

It would be nice if you could just disable it completely. At the very least I wish a class was used that way it could be removed and all notions of score could be erased.

I believe the conclusion to draw from the article is that people can be terrible, and with the advent of the internet people can be terrible in new ways that draw from your past, more easily.

You're wondering if an article talking about how the lack of privacy and the collection of unprecedented amounts of personal information and how it relates to cybercrime should be on HN?

Really? This is addressed in the article itself: > BUT THAT LEFT another question. What if the case did go to trial? Even if she could convince a jury—which would mean explaining the complexities of how identity is both hidden and reveal

If you have to pick a smart home thing I'd actually get something like SmartThings. It's amazing actually how nice it is not to think about things like turning on lights, locking doors, etc. You can wake up to coffee (and not on a

I'm not anywhere close to 35, but from being on this site (HN) for a few years, I can guarantee you that if you read this site on a daily basis and 3 times a year complete a project based on the "trends" reflected on here you

There are three realities: 1. The actions you should take if you knew that a serious disorder was coming for you will probably be beneficial one way or another. 2. There is nothing you can do about Alzheimers. 3. The only reason you wouldn&

Again, I fail to see the relevance. There are undergraduates who work that much. Not to mention that no one forces you to do graduate school. Why should graduate students alone get this benefit? For doing work they signed up for? Should uni

by tabeth 9y ago
I'm really not understanding you. 1. Everything you said applies to undergraduate students. 2. Undergraduate students are more in need than graduate students, not to mention that graduate students are better off financially. So, yeah.

Again, property tax is implemented by the assessment. Your example is a failure in assessing. It has nothing to do with LVT. Also, your desert example doesn't make sense. If the land is usable it will be taxed. If it is not usable it w

> As the NYT opinion piece points out, these new rules will make it that only people who are independently wealthy, or can depend on support from wealthier family members, will be able to afford going to grad school. Again, the NYT artic

Except they're not being paid just $33k/yr. The IRS already has a precedent surrounding cash-value equivalents.
316.
by tabeth 9y ago
The fact that they're paid below a "real job" is irrelevant. Should people working part time while doing their undergrad degree to pay if off also get the same benefit? Like TAs they too are getting paid less than what they w

Doesn't it suck only because it hasn't been well trained on a variety of voices?

by tabeth 9y ago
I sympthatize with the article and the person writing it, but if they shouldn't be taxed, why should people who pay post tax income for their undergraduate degree?

by tabeth 9y ago
If it's that arbitrary then I see no difference between this and the existing property tax. Why even implement it? Property tax already takes into account both the improvements and the land. Property tax is also different depending on

by tabeth 9y ago
This is true, but without a sufficiently high floor for a LVT it's meaningless as property tax already covers things. Also, I would imagine a LVT to be decided by the state and not the city or town. If that's the case you wouldn&
321.
by tabeth 9y ago
Given the current zoning laws, LVT would disincentivize as the most profitable options, as you've pointed out, are extremely tall buildings with similarly high construction costs. At least now you could buy a large lot and put, say a l

Can you expand on this? Do you mean you'd use Postgres as your main store and periodically "flush" data from CouchDB to Postgres (probably as JSON)? I don't see how that would work reliably. On the client would you sourc

This is a nice idea, but I'm skeptical it would ever work for most places, and for the cases it would work, e.g. the cities are already developed enough to warrant its existence -- it will be politically killed. Case A: ------- Undeve

To the people saying "just do Postgres", what would you say to a startup that wants to create offline first apps? CouchDB, for example is way better at that than Postgres. 1) Use CouchDB and Postgres? 2) Somehow implement revision

sure, but we're not talking about someone with a disability. we're talking about men and women. why would you even make that comparison, given the context? by the way, people with disabilities generally want to be treated equally,

your example is bizarre. of course you have to use complete strangers as an example, because we're attempting to determine if the gender is the variable of concern, not your relationship. if you were friends with this female co-worke

no, it hasn't been clarified. what are these mysterious things a man can say to other men he does not know that he couldn't say to a woman he doesn't know?

by tabeth 9y ago
what are some of the things, in your opinion, that are acceptable to say to a man you do not know, that are not acceptable to say to a women you do not know?

why is it difficult to treat women the same as men?

You have no problem telling another man you don't know that they should dress better?
