What part about that is puzzling? A population 30-40x the size, split out over 50 states, with different laws and regulations, different political governance, different geographica…

Not a fair comparison. 30-40x population difference. I have lived in both Europe and the US. And I have installed fiber internet commercially. When I lived in Italy, the best inter…

A tattooed, true believer nazi has a Jerusalem Cross tattoo? Weird, thats like the exact opposite of a nazi.

>>But as the article points out, this is an expected outcome and will be blunted by subsequent tax rate decreases. the tax rate decrease will be on the multi-million dollar homes. …

I know, personal responsibility is such a vile concept. Everyone can be so much happier if they can blame everyone else and the system for everything bad in their life.

That's exactly what my single parent did. Took responsibility for being a teenage parent, joined a trade union, paid more for a crappy apartment on the edge of a good school distri…

I'm a jerk because I've bought them and tried to find a use case for them, but found they weren't as good as other solutions? You have issues.

I have bought an rpi at every generation. And I still have yet to find an actual use for them. Everything they do from a compute perspective is just better with a mini pc or old la…

I would love a VAT tax instead of the never ending stream of taxes we pay on everything else. Americans are stupid. They see a higher tax on an iPhone they don't need, they will cr…

this is literally a cover to overhaul the property tax assessment system in New York. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/new-york-passes-ma... "While the tax seems large, ex…

no, you're right. it's flying under the radar because people don't read these things and critically think about them. as per usual, the middle class will take the hit. the people t…

No, the goal is to overhaul the property tax system. This is going to raise property taxes for everyone. The ultra wealthy can just pack up and move. It doesn't affect them in the …

So you want to tax something that has already been taxed throughout the course of someone's life, just because they want to give it to their kids? The only tax that is fair to ever…

Property tax is not a workable wealth tax. It's a barrier for low income people to buy homes. Sales tax is a workable wealth tax.

>> School choice is bad because the only people who benefit from school choice are already wealthy - they can afford to transport their child to the school of their choice. So what…

Awesome. Now small businesses can do half their work before being told they've hit their usage limits too!

And the piece nobody is even considering... Responsible parents don't have separate OS accounts for their children.

The sidebar method is better than agents for many reasons. The main one is I'd rather review the limited changes of a one shot prompt than ton of changes made by an agent. Another …

I dont get it. Why do I need immutable if I'm just running docker? Why do I need a specialized Debian variant when I can install docker on Debian or Ubuntu in a couple minutes? And…

Yes, but they're claiming massive generation speed which you won't get on Vulkan. You won't get it on ROCm on that Strix Halo, either. It's just funny they talk about vendor lock, …

Yes, you can run Qwen on Vulkan or CPU. But you aren't getting 207t/s. I just find it funny they talk about being vendor locked, and the only thing they support is nvidia.

"Local AI should be a default, not a privilege: private data, no per-token bill, no vendor lock-in. The hardware to run capable models already sits on desks. The software to run th…

So Blizzard is supposed to make a game that's fun specifically for a subset of players who think WoW died in 2010? I hate to break it to you, but WoW is still the most played MMO o…

I'd argue clean engineering principles (gang of 4 patterns) and clean code are not the same, and are most definitely not mutually exclusive.

Applause. I am in .net as well. The clean code virus runs rampant. Swimming in DTOs and ViewModels that are exact copies of Models; services that have two methods in them: a comman…
