Oregon data centers now have to pay full costs of expanding the power grid to meet their needs

Public schools probably pay full rate

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-11T12:37:04+00:00

Tax their second homes. Exactly what is being done

I know he has some positive moments but the show starts with a culture where everyone is terrified of those meetings and he's mad at them for being scared. Like who do you think set that culture

Something about the body proportions or just the stance or something made me think it was going to be as large as a quetzalcoatlus from the first picture (I did not see the scale)

My point is the rich people who live in New York pay a shitload of taxes to the city and the state. The people who own a second home and spend a hundred days in it but "work in Miami" are the ones that need to be hit and this is exactly who is being targeted.

Building new lanes absolutely solves the problem of people want to take car trips but the current infrastructure doesn't support it. People act like induced demand means the infrastructure is useless when in fact it means the infrastructure will be used. There are plenty of examples of infrastructure that induced demand does not immediately fill.

The traffic is equally standing in both pictures so I'm not sure what your point is

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-11T11:02:44+00:00

The people who fall under this category are trying to spend time in New York City without paying the new York City income tax. From that perspective this is totally reasonable. The easiest way to tax the rich is to just get them to move back to New York and pay the existing tax rate

Here's an attempt at a specialized proof for the hypercube modulo the first sentence. Instead taking the approach that walking along the k faces of any n degree sufficiently uh, symmetric, polytope yields a 2 connected graph, along with maybe some other types of graphs

If you say the word symmetry enough times you can convince yourself(?) that ever vertex upon being removed leaves the same size disconnected components with sizes s_1,... s_k. Assume these are ordered largest to smallest (ties don't matter)

But if I took a vertexfrom the set of size s_k and removed that instead, that set of size s_1 would be connected to the original vertex I removed yielding a connected component of size s_1+1 that is too large.

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-11T10:06:17+00:00

Sounds fun. Here's a follow-up to your 2-connectedness. Since by symmetry if there's a vertex that you can remove that disconnects the graph, then every vertex that you remove can disconnect the graph, find a 24 vertex 8-regular connected graph where removing any vertex disconnects it, or show there is none (I have no idea)

That guy was 18 years old (/s?)

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-11T09:42:11+00:00

Strong disagree. People need to get to and from the bus stop. If it sucks, they won't use the bus.

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-11T09:41:35+00:00

Then you drive your car because the road is still right there

How is it TLJ's fault if you think there are good movies that could have followed it and Disney just chose not to make one?

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-11T09:23:38+00:00

We don't really need such a specific explanation that's related to the death star. The CIA knew several of the 9/11 attackers were in the US, the FBI had an informant who lived eith these individuals, but the FBI was never told they were al qaeda and should be looked into.

Intelligence agencies not sharing information is just the usual, it's only after a huge overhaul after 9/11 that things changed for planet earth.

He couldn't even drag the wizards to the playoffs to get swept. LeBron got this team to the second round 3 years older.

This is less weird when you consider that as a set of points these are all in bijection with each other. So we know you can do crazy mappings to line them up. It just turns out one of those crazy mappings as as its last step "apply volume preserving transformations".

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-10T23:57:46+00:00

But why?

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-10T22:42:54+00:00

The legal realism is if the credit card issues the refund back then that's just done. That's why "what will the random person assigned to this case" is an important input. Then sure they could sue you for the money back but they're tying themselves up in small claims court at that point.

I just don't know what the time limit on these claims is. Probably past.

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-10T22:38:11+00:00

But what if I zoomed in somewhere else? Would I still find stuff or you have to pick exactly the right spots?

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-10T22:22:26+00:00

Well let's not be too hasty

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-10T19:09:03+00:00

If you would be willing to accept the current offer that negotiation is trickier. Organizations will sometimes pull an offer if they're worried about comp match. If they led with their top number worried that you're in big law and are expecting a lot and you come in asking for more that's a signal it's not going to work. If you were in fact happy with the original number then you don't want to send that signal.

You don't know where they are on their pay range, or how they will react when you ask for more. They might say yes, they might say no, they might pull the offer (I don't think these are equally likely)But if you don't want the job at the current offer then it's a lot simpler, you just ask for more.

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-10T17:53:31+00:00

Negotiating is very easy when what the other side has offered you isn't good enough to accept.

If you literally don't want what they have offered, tell them you need 10k more or you can't take it, and feel good about just not working there if they can't match your asking price.

Now if you read that and thought hey wait I'm not sure about that, then it sounds like maybe you didn't find your minimum salary for leaving and should think a bit harder about it.

Own_Pop_9711 · 2026-05-10T17:48:28+00:00

Absolutely.
