Could we fix that with a vacancy tax for retail?

You aren’t looking at it in the long term view. Yes that works for people who have been living by there for 40 years since the area was not so nice. But how they are rich (housing value increase) and no one new who is not rich can move it. Eventually the people who have been there long will die and it will only be for the rich.

Ah man this hardware looks amazing — I just don’t know if I could give up living on iOS…

No such thing as free parking

Yamanote line is a single line and does around 5 million every day.

Thanks brother

I would guess to account for any unfamiliarity from the operators (new systems, etc) and allowing more time to sort out any other kinks. (they also pad the schedules for old trains too -- this is to accommodate small slowdowns without causing cascading delays).

That all makes sense, but these don't look like police officers — these are guys wearing backwards baseball caps and surgical masks. Effectively, our trust that someone holds position of authority in law enforcement is based on their uniform and badge.

If we normalize some dude in a mask and a baseball cap as someone that has the authority to arrest you and put you in an unmarked van, that represents a real and serious breakdown of trust and order in society.

ICE agents should wear a real uniform (ICE with their real name), have uncovered faces, and be required to show badge/authorization upon request -- otherwise members of society have to reason to trust them (or people who look like them).

Not a bootlicker -- if the commenter said the video is of Lander assaulting law enforcement, I expect to see it.

Edit: this was the video linked https://x.com/courtneycgross/status/1935010369077915990

Agents who are masked and don't have any obligations to present warrants before abducting someone... really are we saying this is reasonable?

I am not seeing the "assaulting law enforcement" in this video -- am I missing something?

For the knee to be useful you have to go below it -- thus 15 mph is a much better neighborhood and school speed limit.

There is no one pareto distribution — it is a family of distributions, with different parameters meaning different intercepts, and therefore different levels on inequality.

you get a yes/no prompt every day after you are born though -- and most people keep saying yes until they're ripped out

People post things all the time and they flop or get little attention. Reddit may be one of the most-viewed sites on the internet but that doesn't mean everything posted on it is too.

Yes, living in NYC = driving in NYC

Presumably because we want to get hired by that place and what the hiring manager thinks affects our chances of being hired.

Interesting... I wonder if this is vulnerable to getting garbaged collected at any point during execution.

Most "straightforward" way I could think of:

```

import itertools, collections

cnt = itertools.count(1)

d = collections.defaultdict(lambda: next(cnt))

s = "abcad"

[d[c] for c in s]

```

Fun fact: 青い (ah-oi) means both green and blue in Japanese. There is a more specific word for green 緑 (midori) but 青い is still commonly used to mean green. For instance, "green light" (as in a stop light) is 青信号 (ah-oh shingou) where 信号 means signal.

I think there’s an implication difference between security professionals and cyber-security professionals.

Very cool. I think filtering tags like "[OC]" could make it look even better.

$.50 coins are also pretty rare. I can't think of a single time I've seen them used (or used them).

What if the chickens give you the eggs?

Here [1] is a somewhat understandable interpretation of the study (and why it might not be as groundbreaking as it looks).

Doesn't work well with youtube links.

Not OP, but probably to make sure the contents of a file are not changed by hardware errors.

Except that back button doesn't function as expected.

In the context of matrices, its pretty clear what inv, adj, and det mean.
