Could go even further and give residents a tax share directly proportional to how proximate new housing was to their own backyard
Or…turn the city’s property tax base into an asset owned by the residents, where living in the city for a year entitles you to your per-capita share of property taxes for your lifetime. In effect, the city issues one tontine share to every resident annually.

I need you to understand that the combination of G’s up, hoes down, while you mothafuckas bounce to this, is not just rollin’ down the street, smokin’ indo, unrelated to sippin’ on gin and juice. It's a very bad combination that's going to make you laid back in a variety of
I need you to understand that the combination of stocks down, bonds down, dollar weaker, in tandem, is not just markets doing market-y stuff unrelated to you. It's a very bad combination that's going to make you poorer in a variety of ways, some obvious, some more subtle.

Voice AI is absolutely going to be game changing. Typing is fine, but when you just talk to your device and get an instant answer back, it lowers the barrier to asking questions about anything. It’s the closest thing to sci-fi we’ve had in AI. 0 latency is the key though.

This is going to be so fun! It's been exciting to imagine what voice-controlled games and learning experiences could look like for families with young kids.
Under a deal with Volley, @MoonbugKids is prepping a video game that preschoolers can control using just their voices. https://t.co/pg4idVQMNH

To achieve precise pitch scoring and perfectly timed lyrics, we also needed highly detailed metadata for each song’s vocal track. There was no off-the-shelf solution here so we wrote custom algorithms to generate the needed pitch data and lyrical timings for each track.
