<p>I have many concerns with this kind of funding model, but I don't think the measurement problem is so serious. Performance incentives in education typically reward improvement of the student cohort relative to how it was performing the previous year, or even use value-added models that use multiple past years to predict the student trajectory.</p>

<p>I love cities that embrace street food. My home (New York City) is well-regarded for street food, but I found it that it's nothing in comparison to Mexico City where a vendor seems to dot every single street corner.<p>With our density, New York could have a much richer street foods scene if the permitting and regulations allowed it.<p>I have put Fukuoka on my travel list.</p>

<p>I am an airbnb host, and exclusively rent out my own apartment on the handful of weeks per year that I'm traveling.<p>If airbnb was banned, my apartment would be vacant during that time. This would push tourists into hotels, driving up the cost of a hotel room, and furthering the affordability crisis since developers would see more upside in hotels rather than residential development.</p>

<p>A friend of mine is VP (not partner), and he seems to spend most of his time on deals. Market research, building financial models for a potential LBO, or for the sale of a portfolio company.<p>From what I understand, the on-the-ground management work after acquisition is outsourced to specialized executives with whom the firm has a relationship. They can bring expertise in a specific industry, and the deal structure pays them with large performance incentives.</p>

<p>One reason is that inflation has a lot of inertia, because inflationary expectations drive more inflation.<p>A strong labor market drives up wages. When not matched by GDP growth, those wages increase costs, which cause workers to demand higher wages to keep up with those costs, and so on.<p>The cycle needs to be broken even if there is short term pain for workers.</p>

<p>Many of us have already dealt with a 20% haircut, at least on the RSU portion of compensation.<p>* Higher cost of borrowing is putting pressure on growth companies that relied on cheap capital<p>* Economic downturn makes it harder to do business and lowers stock prices, which makes up a big part of any 400K SWE package<p>* Tech companies can allow RSU grants to expire rather than implementing formal paycuts. Whereas companies in other sectors might lay off 5% of the workforce before giving everyone a 5% paycut, we may see a different trend in tech.</p>

<p>There is no such thing as a published scientific journal available to only one country.<p>Nobody is saying that the government can't fund private research (as it surely does in the context of security, defense, etc). But that if research is _published_, it ought to be open access rather than behind a paywall.</p>

<p>I'm not an expert in this area. But a fairer comparison would be a US service like Venmo. In my experience Fraudulent payments with venmo are much harder to recover.<p>I think a lot of fraud prevention tech can reasonably be done in a matter of seconds. FedNow also proposes to be domestic only for the time being, which means the recipient accounts are in US jurisdiction and easier to shut down and prosecute. Finally, there's no reason a wait-period/cooldown can't be implemented in another layer.</p>

<p>I think you could have written this opinion instead of your initial comment, and it would have been better received.<p>In my view, it's not one or the other. Studying and correcting mistakes of the past can also provide a hint for where to find injustice in the present.</p>

<p>I don't think VC money is "smart money", it's just not designated for investment in public markets. The "expertise" of a VC is in private growth equity, not liquid public stocks.</p>
