How is the support for LFS? Also, what backend language? I have some Go code for implementing an LFS server and auth but did not want to build a full code forge. All of the major Git hosts have woefully bad LFS management (e.g. if you want to purge a file from history have to delete the whole repository).
"I did a runner" British idiom means I ran away without paying. The only problem with "I did a water" is I don't know what "a water" is without context. If person A said "I did a shot" and person B said "I did a water", it would make perfect sense.
Feel free to teach your child whatever you’d like, language is totally fungible.
The reason I’d suggest not to is because speaking in this way will, in fact, cause people to think less highly of you.
It’s not a matter of principle and “formal correctness” is pretty meaningless in human language, but “don’t speak in a way that a substantial number of people regard as incorrect” is a meaningful goal!
I would argue that people who think less of a three or five years old because the kid said "I did an ouchie" are simultaneously irrelevant and frankly dumb themselves. Kids life wont be affected at all.
Your claim is really based on fairly absurd notion that a sentence normally used in relation to the kids will somehow set the kid apart from their peers ... who listen to the exact same sentences. As in, the problem of kids speech somehow damaging kids long term is literally non existent in real world.
Miniscule percentage of parents takes offense on it and nobody else cares.
Obviously we’re talking about kids acquiring language, I.e. should the response be to nudge them toward more accepted language as they develop, or make up silly overintellectualized arguments like “hmm, well I can understand what they mean! [insightful face emoji]”
“Aww cute!” responses to incorrect language is how kids develop speech impediments.
There are dogs that are not food motivated. Some are play motivated while others can be attention (petting, praise) motivated. You come across the occasional one that isn't really motivated by anything and they are quite the training challenge.
1. I do not really care about any historical precedent, they take 40% of my money and there is clearly a ton of waste, if not grift.
2. All of those things can be done more efficiently. Drug prices, crappy mega defense contractors, welfare work traps, etc.
3. People eat themselves to death. RFK is going after this problem.
4. I'm in favor of simplifying the tax code and charging a flat tax to corporations, ending tax havens. We should end the tyranny of the shareholder and start rebuilding the American worker.
The point after the first one (number 2) has some examples. The USAID money going into NGO admin salaries is another. Cost plus defense contracting. Medicare overpaying for drugs. Farm subsidies.
> I do not really care about any historical precedent, they take 40% of my money and there is clearly a ton of waste, if not grift.
Er what? The top marginal tax bracket is only 37%, and no one will pay that percentage on all their income. Perhaps you misunderstand how marginal tax rates/brackets work?
I was very tax-inefficent a few years ago, and my effective tax rate was still under 25%. Usually it's under 20%, even though my income does sometimes put me in into the tax brackets that are in the 30s.
If you're paying 40% of your income in taxes, you're either a) doing something exceptionally wrong, or b) one of a very small, sub-1% group of people who need to do super tax-inefficient things on a regular basis for some reason.
> All of those things can be done more efficiently. Drug prices, crappy mega defense contractors, welfare work traps, etc.
How? That's the meat of the question and problem here. It's easy to say "government is inefficient". It's a lot harder to identify what those inefficiencies actually are, and come up with a plan to reduce or eliminate them. Simply saying that certain things in government are inefficient is not useful.
You are falling into the trap of thinking that federal income tax levels are all that matters. When you account for
* Federal AND state income taxes
* Payroll taxes (SS & Medicare/Medicaid)
* Property taxes
* Sales taxes
* Car registration taxes
You realize that depending on income level, the level of taxation in the US is much higher than the typical numbers thrown about. I have seen estimates but couldn’t find them as almost every search ends up taking me to stories and research doing the exact same thing you mention: federal income tax rates only.
>Er what? The top marginal tax bracket is only 37%, and no one will pay that percentage on all their income. Perhaps you misunderstand how marginal tax rates/brackets work?
Perhaps you forget that state taxes exist. Add in sales tax after that. Then, perhaps, recall that property taxes exist.
The problem with rent control policies is the value of properties have gotten away from what the rents justify. For a normal investor this means evicting everyone and rebuilding. For a coop that is trying to keep things rented it means that they are unprofitable.
In LA for example, you can never get a rent controlled rent back to market. If someone is paying $600 for a 1 bedroom you're never going to catch back up to $1800.
All that said, I don't know why it has to be non profit. What you described is a just a real estate developer. Zoning is a more limiting factor than anything else.
It depends on the market. Rent control in LA is 4% a year allowable increase. Rents supposedly went down over the last year or two so rent control worked in the favor of landlords that year who raise it 4% no matter what happens. And once you have priced out your tenant with the constant march of yearly 4% increases you can set rent at market rate or even higher if you’d like after they move out.
In other words the $600 rent controlled apartment is a myth.
The idea would be a real estate developer that has no reasons to extract profits beyond what is necessary to operate.
By staying near market rates you’re not “lottery winning” some people. By reinvesting all profit into additional units, you’re going to slowly drive the costs down.
