@247_drip Basically prop 13 creates enormous incentives to never sell your property no matter what, and also to never maintain or improve your property, since that increases your assessed value. So everything is expensive and dilapidated as shit.

We introduce an ARG-inspired data structure Genotype Representation Graph (GRG) to enable lossless data compression, efficient computation through graph traversal. Developed a fast inference method. Cost ~80 GBP to convert 350TB VCF (200,000 UKBiobank WGS) into 160 GB GRG.

Doing theory in biology is even better. No one cares at all about rigor :D

This is amazing news. It's a massive change that the fossil fuel industry is going to hate and attack Biden over RELENTLESSLY. But the story of how we got here is interesting and important, so please stick with me.
Anyway, the fact that people misinterpreted a graph which would be better represented as the below graphs (created by @nolightupstairs and @jaxroam respectively) isn't what makes me so sad and frustrated.

@lukewarmweeb A 12% decrease in rents actually helps hundreds of thousands of renters and helps reduce displacement and homelessness compared to what would be happening if no housing would be built

The most popular ideas on this list are Biden ideas (good news) but note that really nasty Trump ideas like "end birthright citizenship" and "deport Gaza protestors" are in fact above water. Don't assume he won't be able to do it if he wins. blueprint2024.com/polling/tlp-bi…

We are once again in the period of the year where all the mandated computer security courses I've been ignoring have piled up and are triggering the "your account will be deactivated" emails. Time to make some tea and sit through bad videos so I can still login on Monday.
The overall lesson here is that building infrastructure in the US is not straightforward, & doing a project cost-effectively like Brightline requires some significant compromise. Brightline West’s station locations reflect that reality
Caltrans would rather die than convert one of its 12 lanes to rail. UP hates pax trains more than any other freight operator in the US. And Metrolink said it wouldn’t give Brightline space until it had the capacity to run 15 min headways. Nice aspirations but where’s the realism?

@upzone_CA People don’t understand this stuff. They like easy answers, and we are going to need to be about 5x more effective at countering these kinds of narratives if we’re really going to fix anything.
@upzone_CA no democracy is fine, it's just that instead of people voting the means, we vote on our preferred outcome (eg affordable housing) and the Uchicago econ department redacts the policy to get there
sometimes we should not allow democracy

@quantian1 @247_drip Don’t forget that it also incentivizes creating a pseudo landed gentry by encouraging you to pass your property to your children or grandchildren, even with Prop 19!
@247_drip Basically prop 13 creates enormous incentives to never sell your property no matter what, and also to never maintain or improve your property, since that increases your assessed value. So everything is expensive and dilapidated as shit.

What do we find? The people want price controls! And demand subsidies! And restrictions on Wall. St. investors! /11
One of the most bizarre academic articles ever written. Karle Banse in 1990 made the argument (tongue in cheek?) that mermaids had existed until they were wiped out by a jellyfish epidemic. Sources include marine biology tomes and mermaid fiction, not least The Little Mermaid!
Of all the things I did with this account, I think this was my favourite. I cobbled this together in like 5 minutes using the actual hud icon of the Glock from Half-Life and I think it still looks pretty cool.
gosh, what happens indeed?
When arguing with a 15 minute city advocate, ask them “What happens if I get the opportunity of a lifetime…my dream job, 30 minutes away by car?” The mental gymnastics that ensue demonstrate how you just can’t plan and control something as complex as human society.
The shift towards translational science and AI seems to be a consequence of thinking that basic science problems are either solved or intractable, respectively. Perhaps that is true, or perhaps we are mortgaging our future. I honestly don’t know which.
@wolfshenanigan1 @blkkenyb This happened before that, I actually tried and failed! That said they went out of business even after replacing me, it was a super niche product
@blkkenyb My sales goal was $100k that quarter and I brought in $0
Also, we compromised and I wore it as a shirt but that gives you an idea of how short it was
Also given the time period it’s very possible I’d be videotaped and posted online, this was happening more often than people remember! Also I’m an extremely paranoid person
Like an actual kimono? Sure! This was like a mini polyester robe that hit right below my ass, also *trump voice* very unprofessional
@DaddyMamu As an aside, he pressured me into wearing a mini kimono for a trade show and I was like absolutely not that’s cultural appropriation and he was like nobody cares
