Personally I feel that by using an asset as collateral the person is essentially “realizing” the gain (the person is formally and contractually saying the asset is worth at least this much and using it to exchange something of value, even if only in case of default) and should pay capital gain tax for however much the gain was based on assessed collateral value minus the cost basis. And the cost basis steps up to the assessed collateral value.

Now that you said it, you are obligated to share more details! :)

Which non-English subs do you look for? I try to look for Chinese subs and it’s been a struggle to find good tracker.

Thanks for the recommendation. Looks like Gandi got bought out recently. Not sure if it’s for better or worse—will do some more research.

Any recommendations on registrars? I may have to move a couple of domains off Google Domains / Squarespace.

Edit: I am located in the US.

I would say upper to middle-upper class.

I played PAL95. It was fun with an engaging story, and I hope they can do a remake of the original with modern pixel art and music.

Also the Heroes of Jin Yong is fun as well, with some Easter eggs that run true to the Jin Yong’s kung fu universe. I wish there are better/modern attempts to build and flesh out the Jin Yong universe similar to the Marvel series — the work really deserves much better adoptions.

Edit: I also really liked 魔武王, don’t think it has English translation. Really want a remake of this…

Edit2: English title of 魔武王 is Dark Knight Saga

Really good ones are somewhere between $300 to $500 depending on the model and the factories that made them. Also depends on how much the middle person skins off the top.

I agree with the huge negative impact if Apple abandons the effort. “If even Apple can’t do it, who can?” will be the new meme.

I like iA Writer Duospace. It is not a strictly monospaced font, but imo the additional half width really makes m/w much more readable.

Looks like currently the agents interact in the simulated world only. Would be interesting when combined with robots from Boston Dynamics or similar and see how it learns to adapt and operate under real world environment and constraints.

Isn’t reply all a client side function? It just fills in the to and cc fields for the user rather than having the user manually enter all the email addresses?

AirTag it

Netflix already limit number of simultaneous streams. Higher tier allows more simultaneous streams.

Sounds a lot like how chatgpt learns :)

In CA it is not. But it doesn’t stop this 25%+ tip minimum for normal service advice.

The logical conclusion is that we should tip the teachers daily based on how little Johnny felt the educational experience was for the day /s

Microsoft - microbes

Did you get the Alice layout? How is it working out for you? I’ve been interested to get one myself.

Microbes

Probably removing redundancy in the business flow process path?

I should clarify that this is at the R&D + manufacturing facility, not customer facing shop. :)

Also something similar. A motorcycle (scooter) company in Taiwan only allows their own brand motorcycle into the company parking lot. So if you commute with a non-company scooter, good luck finding parking.

I think somewhere along the lines of 20, 50, and 80 percentile would work.

Highly recommend bofuri. It’s a fun poke at accidental exploit of game mechanics from unusual and unexpected way of playing a MMORPG.

One life in game where respawn takes 10 months :)

This is great. I am going to try it out.

I remember figuring out by myself the reclusive solution to tower of Hanoi back in high school AP comp sci class as extra credit. It was a shock that the solution is so simple and elegant.

Yes, the Hp elite dragonfly. I think the Pixel chromebooks haven’t been available internally for a while. I still use the Pixelbook I bought myself at home—it is fairly nice and light with 3:2 screen.

Yes it’s true. Basically DoorDash creates a fake website for the restaurant and even sets up a phone line to take orders. The order is then forwarded to the actually restaurant who aren’t aware that this order is done through DoorDash. If there are any issues i.e. wrong order forwarded, too busy for phone orders so long prep time, or out of a particular menu item, the restaurant gets the blame and the customer has no idea that they didn’t order with the restaurant directly but rather through a middle man. This has little upside for the restaurant and plenty of downsides.
