dzlobin··on San Francisco faces fiscal chaos
While I don’t disagree that SF is a mess, your example is completely wrong. That lot will become low-income housing and is temporarily being used as that.

dzlobin··on White House Proposes Slashing Tax Rates for Individuals and Businesses
100% agreed, which is why I was pretty surprised to read that in the article but we'll see if that's actually the intended understanding of this proposal.

For reference, here is the excerpt: "Beyond cutting the tax rate to 15 percent for large corporations, which now pay a rate of 35 percent, Mr. Trump also wants that rate for a broad range of firms known as pass-through entities — including hedge funds, real estate concerns like Mr. Trump’s and large partnerships — that currently pay taxes at individual rates, which top off at 39.6 percent."

Their specific mention of pass-through entities might mean that literally but it might have just been a more succinct way to group LLCs, LPs, and PLLPs.

dzlobin··on White House Proposes Slashing Tax Rates for Individuals and Businesses
The proposal seems to state that pass-through entities will be subject to the 15% tax rate as well. From what I've read so far that would seem to mean that all business income from one's LLC would be taxed at 15%, and there wouldn't be any personal income tax to pay on top of that.

dzlobin··on Building fast.com
We had similar issues when I was at iHeartRadio. We got reports from a number of users that were getting a lot of playback issues. Once we saw that the users were all in a relatively small area in the southeastern US, it took a few days of dealing with local ISPs to sort out the issue: all requests on a certain local ISP were being rewritten and certain headers were getting removed altogether.

dzlobin··on Apple R&D Reveals a Pivot Is Coming
The future seems likely to involve a fleet of autonomous vehicles that we use on-demand -- why not own and operate the fleet? Not to mention owning the technology powering the autonomous cars.

The more operative keyword here is millimeter wave, since 5g doesn't imply any specifics.

dzlobin··on YC Stats
Nice to see more detailed stats on this stuff. One figure I'd really like to see is the number of companies worth more than $10M & $50M.

Forum post from Dan Kaminsky, co-founder of WhiteOps[1][2]:

"Dan Kaminsky here, my apologies for kicking up a ruckus. This is part of a bot detection framework I've built at White Ops; we basically are able to detect browser automation using resources exposed in JavaScript. Nothing dangerous to users -- or we'd go file bugs on it, which we do from time to time -- but it does provide useful data regarding post-exploitation behavior. Happy to jump on a call with anyone concerned or worried; I'm over at dan@whiteops.com."
