@CaffeinaitedMax @LukeMiani It’s low hanging fruit engagement bait. That’s really all it is.

This should not be in perpetuity. A certain number of years is fine, but once you retire, get older, and no longer have kids using public schools, it should not continue.
An elderly couple today can lose their paid-off home if they don’t have enough income to pay property taxes. That does not feel right. Does that feel right to you, or to anyone else?
English
A lot of people seem to believe this
I don't have a mortgage on my house (never did), should I not pay ever pay property taxes?

Still boggles my mind!

Snowflake reportedly signed a $6B deal with AWS for "AI chips," which on inspection turn out to be Graviton.
Graviton is a general-purpose Arm CPU.
By this standard, the MacBook I'm typing this on is also running on an AI chip, and I'd like my valuation bump now.

Exclusive: Amazon Web Services has signed up cloud storage company Snowflake as its latest chips customer, as the proliferation of artificial intelligence agents drives high levels of demand for computing hardware. on.wsj.com/49sCp4J

@lamw Fair, but I can go pre-stage all the drives without an extra reboot cycle/MM.
Did get asked for a “bulk re-assign UI wizard” today.

Want to take a drive from vSAN, and shift it over to Memory Tiering?
You can do this without putting a host into MM.

@GreenPlusAnE Raise the Deferment interest rate to match mortgage rates.... Honestly, Texas is at least 5%, and that is high enough it discourages people who frankly can get higher yield investments from doing it.
English
my issue w/ this is it perpetuates the mis-allocation of housing
seniors disproportionately own family-sized 3 and 4 bedroom homes, often in safe neighborhoods, w/ good schools, near metro areas
senior entitlements and tax breaks further encourage this misallocation
Alec Stapp@AlecStapp
One way to thread the needle on low-income seniors facing rising property tax bills: Allow them to defer payment (with interest) until they sell their home. This avoids forcing people out of their communities, while ensuring the property taxes still get paid.

i think the fundamental culture clash on this site is that Europeans like complaining and Americans like arguing.
English
@Rundoff @stealthwealth22 @JillFilipovic and if EVERYONE appreciates 10% the tax rate locally has to lower, state law requires local school districts to reduce their tax rates when property values grow by more than 2.5%.
You fight over your "Share" of the increase with appraisals.
English
@stealthwealth22 @Lost_Signal @JillFilipovic That is a cap on how much the appraised value can increase in a single year, it does not mean it’s typical for home values in Texas to appreciate 10% annually for any significant period of time lol.
English
This discourse drives me insane because yes seniors should pay property taxes but also US property taxes are in fact obscenely high and too unpredictable for middle class people who own one home.
Nancy Mace@NancyMace
Our seniors should not pay property taxes.
English
@data_atx This is the one area where I'm kinda ok with lighting some tax money on fire. Go big or go home on this.
There's a lot of other dumber things we fund that evaporate money and leave us with nothing cool.

The mayors plan to greatly scale back the I-35 caps took a lot of flak today
He wants a single tiny cap that compares to one that Columbus, OH has that holds a steakhouse
Ryan Alter kept poking fun at this idea cause it’s not really anything like the caps that people want
I see Alters point. Either do zero ( my preference) or go big . The mayors plan is not compelling

@iAligator @ConwayAnderson Is there a trucking scale off a highway you could trick the waymo into driving onto and stopping?
English
@ConwayAnderson you're absolutely right
now i'm curious how much the waymo hardware weighs
x.com/iAligator/stat…
Ali Haghani@iAligator
nvm, 5,886 lbs is the most the i-pace is rated to weigh fully loaded the added weight of waymo's hardware is not known
English
pulled my waymo’s registration today
the car weighs 5,886 lbs, a stock jaguar i-pace is 4,784
that’s 1,100 lbs of sensors and compute, or 7 passengers’ worth

@RBPundit Our brick is just decorative though, but the insulation behind it is non-trivial.
Current code:
Attics: R-38 minimum (approx. 13–14 inches of blown-in insulation).
Exterior Walls: R-13 to R-19 (or a combination of R-13 cavity insulation + R-2 continuous exterior insulation).
English
That's not how this works.
1) We have bricks, too.
2) We have insulation that have insulation ratings that are the same as your bricks. Better even.
Ringo Prime@RingoPrime
@RBPundit Compared to walls in the UK they are, ours are made of bricks, yours wood.

@AdamasNemesis @JillFilipovic Prop 13 is "a great system" if you want to wealth transfer from young families to old people, and bankrupt the state over time while subsidizing commercial real estate. It's one of the most regressive ways to handle property tax.
English
California is even better: 2% per year is the maximum rate of increase
No this isn't better. Proper 13 means I'm going to pay 20x more than a car dealership in property taxes, and 10x more than my neighbor while schools get underfunded because too many retiree's live near.

OHHH NO THINK OF THE PEOPLE WHO MADE 400K IN ASSET APPRECIATION AT TECH STOCK LEVEL SPEEDS.

@stealthwealth22 @JillFilipovic Given that's leveraged borrowing I'd be insanely happy if this happened to me.
Assuming a FHA loan that's a 42-46% ANUAL rate of return, if your house doubles in value in 7 years. (net of MIP added to the cost structure)
Conventional would be 28-31%.

@SmokingWR3CK4G3 @LogoSimian @Walmart + will deliver to my house for free in 3 hours (or do 45 minutes for $10). Why would I need to walk to the grocery store?

@LogoSimian "Available within walking distance of every neighbourhood" LOL nope

You know what? Screw it. They're right.
There are no produce aisles in America.
There are no bakeries.
There are no convenience stores outside New York City.
Everyone has been shot with a gun.
And we put "America Sauce," of a totally random composition, on everything.
Go live in a real country and leave us alone.
