To an economist, the highest and best use of the land around disneyland is not my home. It's not housing. It's hotels, motels, restaurants. So my land would now be taxed at that rate, until I'm forced out

For devil's advocate's sake, how is this not state sponsored gentrification?

Alternatives like aggressive up zoning and development would benefit this cohort and be welcomed as well. It's very natural to welcome things that benefit you

> she doesn't need that house

Ick.

Georgists would say that if some corporation built Disneyland next door, I no longer deserve to live there. How am I to compete with the vast productivity of a massive corporation?

Where do I deserve to live then? Only where my productivity matches the economic bar of those around me?

I'm getting old and tired. Am I only allowed in a retirement home?

Both can be true. The luxury development can increase value for neighbors while making surrounding areas cheaper

> in order to get meaningful propulsion, you introduce heeling

I think that in order for this to work we would have to take on more traditional downwind trade routes, which would avoid a lot of the traditional heeling

The keychain and passwords app are separate and keychain still exists

I always operated under the assumption that the passwords app was just a more casual view into the keychain

Maybe that's a bad assumption

It actually happened. The US GNIS system was updated, and thus the apple maps and google maps have updated their maps to reflect

Other map providers will have to make a decision, but these sorts of things have historically been fraught with politics, I think most maps will go with whatever the official source they use has declared

I left this year when they told me I'd have to re-buy my lifetime pass. I suspect they rolled it back, but as you said that was the last straw. All of these streaming nonsense that keeps getting re-enabled, totally troublesome to help friends with the same settings

I couldn't help but think with all the ads they were serving me directly, that they must be selling my data as well. That's not the point of self-host. No thank you.

Jellyfin still missing download w/ transcode, but with space getting so cheap I don't miss it. I do need to improve the music side though

The eagles club, the elks club and the rotary club are all still active in my area.

No idea why they name themselves after animals

That's just not how it works. If I was to call a plumber and a sheetwaller, and a painter, I would be paying $6-12k for a leak. This kills any idea of profit for this year.

What really happens is that I put on my big boy pants, I talk to the tenant, I visit the unit, I crawl under the house, I cut out the drywall, I remove and patch the plumbing, I replace the drywall, I mud the wall, and I paint the wall.

I could have it the way you suggest, pay 10% to some property manager and 1500-3000 for any call to any contractor but that means... I'd have to raise the rent, and not by a small amount.

At the end of the day I'm a housing provider, so I'd like to keep rents and vacancies low. This seems to be what tenants want too.

So yes, I'm doing the best I can, but no, my work is not encompassed by a phone call

Pets, and car maintenance can both damage the property. Noise in the quiet time disrupts other tenants

Does programming cause property damage or impact other tenants?

A lease is a contract that both parties have agreed to. If the tenant breaks that contract, it should be terms for eviction. If the landlord breaks that contract, the tenant should be free to break the contract and move.

If the tenant does something criminal, sure, that's up to the police.

People who want to rent a flat want to tour it first, this makes sense. But in your situation the tenant in arrears has an incentive to make the unit look uninhabitable preventing it from renting.

Additionally, if they are behind on rent, the deposit will not be enough to handle both.

$600,000 asset vs a $3000 deposit

> I def. stopped paying my rent a few times until my landlord fixed their shit

In most municipalities, this is OK so long as the thing that needs to be fixed is a habitability issue. Heat, water, etc

> One day he showed up at my place (with soup who was coming to fix something) and tried to enter. I told him to stay out.

??? You wouldn't let him solve the issue you stopped paying for? How do you justify that?

This is not a commercial game, and tokens cost money.

You were lucky to not have to deal with vacancies, non payments, turnover, rehabs, or capex. I don't think your experience is the common, and it certainly won't scale like that.

One tenant losing their job, getting some sort of medical issue, or even a poorly trained pet can reverse 2 years of profit. These happen all the time.

Personally, the keyboard jockeys talking about how easy contractors have it is hilarious, so I guess we both get a laugh today

> But the vast majority of such people's financial outcome is actually from being a landlord, that is doing literally nothing except holding a piece of paper granting them monopoly on a plot of land

This is how I know that you've never tried to run houses. If you hire out a property manager and all of your maintenance you are not making money.

I have to be an electrician, a plumber, a painter, a drywaller, an engineer, a salesman, a delivery driver, a businessman, an appliance repairman and a lawyer. And that's to make a measly 8% on my money.

> There is literally nothing to be produced! The land is there regardless!

No one rents bare land. They are renting a depreciating asset that you have to upkeep.

Yea yea yea, Henry George says that the value is provided by the citizens around your property. I call bullshit. The value is the shelter, the heat, the comfort. That's what people need.

I've been hyper fixated on mechanical watches this year, and I'm so happy to have this resource, it's clarified my gaps, and corrected multiple misunderstandings.

Very excited to get home and rebuild my keyless!

Running a fork is a lot of work. You need your fixes upstreamed so that you don't need to backport other people's fixes

Are you upset that the Whitehouse invited citizens to the lawn, or are you upset that they banned someone who was behaving distastefully?

That's all true, and I had a great time in London and many eu countries.

Do immigrants have the same full rights as British citizens?

Would I be willing to re evaluate my visa every X years? Will I be willing to be uprooted if it's denied?

And how will childcare work when my elders are all here?

I think your post was correct as far as the state of the US, but your final paragraph is reductive. It's not always easy for someone to drop everything and uproot their life, even if it's possible

We still use our portals quite a bit, is support for these devices winding down?

I took that to be referencing the occasional page ups in the document he was describing

Not as a new mechanism of tracking, via eye tracking

Could be wrong.

> We are not special or superior, we just won a lottery of mutation giving us efficient brain.

Isn't this exactly what makes us special?

That, opposable thumbs, magic wireless communication, and space travel

As far as I know python type annotations are not enforced at runtime, these are really just helpers or extensions to your local dev environment

It's interesting to me that Python requires third party tooling (mypy) but we are still giving credit to Python that it has all the tools it needs

Yes, complex systems have been built in Python but that's despite it's tooling not because of it

Our python applications are all mypy, and we have been experimenting with the uv solution as well. I'm glad that Python has type annotations and classes but it sure doesn't feel the same as a statically typed language

Android app is called droid48

Thank you for all your work on e, still my daily driver after all these years

Greetings from e27!

I'm a male, I don't write notes on my clothing, and I found the whole comment hilarious

It's possible some folks have thin skin.
