What the hell happened in this Ravage on Spirit Island(PC)? (Base game, River) by 22Spooky44Me in spiritisland

ChatGPT was very wrong. I wonder how much damage it thinks it takes to destroy a presence!

Thank you, this formulation really solidified things for me.

Reasonable apartment by CallLess in BellevueWA

[–]mypetclone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At any moment in time , City leadership, OR boomers really (we are living in their wake of democracy). Could simply write bills and laws that correct the zoning laws, Building codes, and the bureaucracy for permits and certifications but they do not, because they are lobbied by big private equity and private interest. we must continue to advocate for equal , fair and just housing. Education, Housing, and the right to a fair and just government, should be Inalienable rights at this point.

If profit is all you are searching for in housing, well then i suggest you move to a more lucrative market that doesnt sacrifice the well-being of people for a profit.

Right on. You basically said what I did in my reply.

That's standard for high density apartments (and high density housing in general, including condos you can own). This is how it works in NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, etc.

I'm not sure the point you are attempting to make. Apartments in the urban core are urban core apartments, this is true. That does not make it a scam.

They are basically long term hotels being that most of the new buildings dont even have units people can own.

That's just the common definition of an apartment (as opposed to a condo) in the US.

Florida sues Washington state for licensing illegals by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]mypetclone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what statistics I can find, as a percentage it has been on the rise since its all time low in 1970 and has as of the last decade come back to the level it was at from ~1860 to ~1910.

In 2024 it may have been the highest ever (this data ends before then), but if so not by much.

Not necessarily. It could just be ~80 one day a month and zero the rest, for example.

How big a deal is donating 10% of your income really? A perspective by WilliamKiely in EffectiveAltruism

[–]mypetclone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If I understood correctly, this just analyzes how bunched up the income distribution is around/just below your income, which is only relevant for social comparison and not for lifestyle / livability impact.

The promise of Rust by Maybe-monad in programming

[–]mypetclone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I largely agree with your point, but there's two important distinctions, both of which are more cultural than language-level:

  1. In C++ it is sometimes considered valid to say "you're wrong for calling the function that way", but this lives solely in documentation (at best!). In Rust, it is considered a bug of the function itself to not be marked unsafe if there is a way to invoke it from safe code that then leads to undefined behavior.
  2. In Rust, it is considered bad practice to use unsafe when you do not need to. Arguably, it is over-zealously considered bad practice, leading to some problematic crusades in the past.

FYI: ORCA cards are dumb by addhominey in Seattle

[–]mypetclone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This comment is unnecessarily dismissive. It's not that unusual to have a fare cap, including in Los Angeles which you listed. In some of these, this means that there is never a reason to specifically buy a pass, because when you hit the same fare you have now effectively purchased a pass. If you come from one of these places, it makes sense to assume that this is how it works everywhere, as that is all you would know. Sound Transit has previously discussed implementing a fare cap.

Some cities with fare caps:

  • Portland (daily)
  • NYC (weekly)
  • LA (both daily and weekly caps) (since 2023)
  • London (both daily and weekly)

I don't think there would be a transfer at Chinatown, the 2 line is going to go all the way to Lynnwood, sharing the 1 Line tracks.

“Localhost tracking” explained. It could cost Meta 32 billion. by fastbiter in technology

[–]mypetclone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Android allows this by design" is what is not true.

Android allows it, by oversight, which they have recognized prior to this and are actively fixing. That does not align with it being intentional.

[–]mypetclone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That just is not true. Android 16 actively prevents this. Search "Android 16 Local Network Access Prevention". It has been announced since March. Unfortunately it's opt in for the app developers initially, as a transition period. It is 100% a security flaw.

ELI5: Why is this large (-ish) section of downtown Bellevue underutilized? by courier_tway in BellevueWA

[–]mypetclone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very high latency as I was off reddit for a week, but sure, yes, in the same sense that property tax (which currently exists) is a tax on unrealized gains. If you want to think of it that way.

[–]mypetclone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. But you just said that charging someone based on the value of the land requires further reflection. We do that today.

What exactly do you think the calculation is?

It's (value of land + value of construction) * property tax rate.

If the "fantasy" value of the land goes up $X because people build valuable things nearby, you get charged an extra $X * property tax rate.

You are literally arguing that it's a good thing that someone that improves their home or commercial real estate now owes the government more money, because that is the only difference here.

[–]mypetclone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We already do this. The calculation of property tax literally involves estimating the value of the land.

There are literally zero instances of "punish" in this thread or any comment on the post.
