<p>> Schools aren't forever… Some may last for decades, and some for centuries. Some have already lasted far too long.<p>That seems a bit ironic?<p>> Grandma Sally isn't going to live forever. The house winds up on the open market in order to seek satisfaction of Grandma's debts<p>Not always, grandma can pass the home down to whoever. IIRC there are ways to do it without triggering a reevaluation on the original purchase price.</p>

<p>> Uncle is a financial planner and advised grandma to sell her house to Grandma's House LLC for $1 and pass ownership of that LLC to the offspring, avoiding prop 13/prop 19 reassessment in california.<p>Pretty unbelievable, really. They get a free house and tax bills from decades ago. The whole thing is made to screw over future generations, and act like it’s all hunky dory.</p>

<p>Why can’t she pay from her retirement accounts? 20K/yr isn’t all that much considering today’s cost of living. The stock market has skyrocketed in the last decade and change.<p>I also don’t buy 20K of property tax on a 500K home, that’s a 4% tax which seems unlikely in Chicago.<p>Something isn’t right. Poor financial planning maybe?</p>

<p>> So we should judge each piece of evidence in a vacuum?<p>I mean… little drops of water make the ocean, so if the complaint is with the drop then yes. Doesn’t mean the ocean is poisoned by some of these droplets though.<p>Two things can be true at the same time - Facebook as a whole is untrustable but you can use Muse Glimmer from them without giving them this data.</p>

<p>All gambling is probability-based, but not always the other way around. I think it is important to distinguish gambling as a hobby vs risk taking in a crowded market when running a company in the Valley. The article from what I can tell doesn’t really try to separate this, and that is certainly worth lamenting.</p>

<p>You said:<p>> Because when you log in you don’t want to be logged out at (what, for you, will appear to be) a random time of the future.<p>> That’s a solution for a problem that doesn’t exist. Nobody considers not getting logged out randomly a problem.<p>Isn’t this contradictory? The double negatives are really throwing me for a loop. Regardless, it’s extremely common for you to be force-logged out of a session for any portal that has sensitive info.<p>You’re never logged into your bank forever, SSO logins expire. The ones that don’t expire are stuff like YouTube or Netflix, but only if you use it (length of refresh token validity). Checkbox for keeping a session valid is a legitimate solution and I’m grateful it exists. Why do you say it’s a problem that doesn’t exist, when you yourself said it does?<p>I do not understand your thesis.</p>

<p>We are ruling by imagination now?<p>> you could say that congress has delegated "judicial and legislative" powers to the executive, whose will is embodied in a democratically elected president.<p>Bullshit. No, you cannot say that. “The non-delegation doctrine is a constitutional principle that Congress cannot delegate its legislative powers to another branch of government or to private entities.”<p>You get two downvotes for lies, one for each post.</p>

<p>> you just frame your ethics that anything done in service to the bottom line is inherently good<p>I thought that was the whole point of that Dodge vs Ford case which enshrined shareholder supremacy? I’m not saying that’s the best way or poor way to run a business, but the blanket application of this precedent seems sketch to me. But that means we need an admin that does trust busting too, so good luck with all that.</p>

<p>> From what I can tell, you are arguing that gun laws is reasonable.<p>You aren’t going to repeal the second amendment, so reasonable or not it’s a fact that everyone has to contend with. Do we all want guns? No. Do we all want AI? Also no.<p>> What we want is to ban bad, regardless of how it is achieved<p>No, we don’t want to ban bad. Banning doesn’t really work - the effort to reward ratio isn’t great. We want to regulate bad and see if we can minimize the damage it can do.</p>

<p>They kinda did that to themselves, but it's slowly changing. My partner's iPhone 16 is made in India. They really do lack waste management infrastructure though, and it's pretty crucial for this type of manufacturing. They should also borrow the regional concentration of industries that China has done, it really does make things more efficient.</p>
