this is not entirely true and i’ve seen the exact same comment regurgitated with the same exact numbers for the past two years. I am not in really in favor of section 174 but i’m tired of seeing misinfo. I have discussed this with a CPA multiple times and its simplified and blown out of proportion in a way that you can’t actually have a conversation about it

Your comment would be much more helpful if you explained how op is wrong or linked to another resource or prior comment that did so.

…could you expand on what part is inaccurate?

One example:

"What they've actually done, congress said, is bought a capital good, like a machine."

Replace "like a machine" with "like software"

How is that profound?

It wasn't supposed to be profound. It's accurate.

When you comment in bad faith you get unkind responses

And when people assume bad faith, they needlessly produce unkind responses, which is what happened here.

EDIT: Nope, I checked his comments, every single one is "you clearly know nothing about <blank>" and the next one is "you clearly know nothing about <something else>". Total Hacker News Redditization happening before our eyes.

The kawai vpc is pretty much that, right? You don’t need fast usbc for audio and it’s the best action on a midi controller

I think what people need to keep in mind is that AR is not just going to be a Moores Law type thing. AR has to not only improve with regards to size, but also find ways to deal with etendue while reducing that size, and dealing with thermal issues. It’s easy to assume AR just needs a few more years because everything else in tech has been like that, but the improvements in the space that are likely needed for people to feel comfortable publicly using AR might take a lot longer than what is usual.

Smoking is twice as common in people with ADHD. ADHD specifically affects impulse control which means you’re much more likely to get addicted because bad habits are harder to stop doing.

Nicotine is a stimulant: ADHD'ers are self-medicating and probably before they even know they have ADHD. It's not (primarily) because of a lack of impulse control.

Nicotine does stimulate the prefrontal cortex like adderall so self-medicating can play a role, but a lot of people with ADHD don’t get addicted to their medication. From what i’ve experienced, its the behavior that’s hard to quit. Not saying you’re wrong, just that I think the higher number of smokers is more due to the fact that quitting is harder because of the action of smoking, not because it acts similar to medication in some ways.

I'm diagnosed with ADHD and never had the impulse to take drugs.

I even forget to take my meds sometimes.

Addiction is uncontrolled and damaging repetition of the behavior after initiation not the initial initiation itself

initstate is an override of statefulwidget, its no different than any other frameworks lifecycle events and its a flutter thing, so its not really something you would confuse with a constructor or something. I can understand not knowing if you should create a normal constructor or a factory i guess, but getting confused about initstate is not a reason go is superior.

This is not true, the majority of tags are not gang related

How does this possibly correlate to people tagging? Minor non-destructive property crime on the paint of a building is not the same as violent crime, and also the LA crime rate has been shrinking for years. Every college has campus safety guidelines as well that tend to say things like that

Why do you think tagging is a thing? It’s a way for gangs to mark their turf, plain and simple. Tagging means gang activity, which means violent crime.

And your assertion about the LA crime rate shrinking for years is incorrect: https://www.laalmanac.com/crime/cr01.php

In fact, violent crimes reached their lowest level around 2013, and have been steadily on the rise since then.

Its not plain and simple. As someone who has talked to people who actually do it, it’s much more common to be art-related and marking that someone exists than anything gang related. Maybe it used to be a certain way but it certainly isn’t strongly correlated now.

> Every college has campus safety guidelines as well that tend to say things like that

I have been to a bunch of college campuses to visit my friends over the years. None came close to USC in terms of how scared the local student population was to walk alone outside at night.

"Under the broken windows theory, an ordered and clean environment, one that is maintained, sends the signal that the area is monitored and that criminal behavior is not tolerated. Conversely, a disordered environment, one that is not maintained (broken windows, graffiti, excessive litter), sends the signal that the area is not monitored and that criminal behavior has little risk of detection."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory

It is 'just' a criminology theory, with many people who disagree with it.

Improving and more importantly maintaining the environments where people live does reduce crime. Most of the problems people have with broken windows theory is how it has been used to justify excessive policing that victimized people instead of improving things for them.

As someone who knows a lot of people who tag, they add significantly more to the character of a city while being more of a supportive community than most groups of artists, I would rather have that in my city then some random “fake deep“ piece that gets a pass because it’s more marketable.
