> I'm sure Jeff Bezos at least has some exposure to it

Right, through his 401k

It really doesn't. You could've bought any $1-5 stocks in that time. You happened to buy the ones that made you money.

> Cost of living so tax hikes next year. Better to lock in gains now than pay more later?

Deliberately pay capital gains tax now on the off-chance taxes go up next year? You do you my friend.

You're getting slang-mogged.

How would this give young people a chance? If they have cash to buy up assets cheaper then so do older rich people.

You're allowed to lie on your application to the shelter. But you should also not let your cat outside because cats are bird murder machines.

A house visit to adopt a dog seems excessive. But this might be organizational scar tissue: mentally ill people adopting and hoarding animals, for example.

Depending on the jurisdiction, any adoption contract that says you have to allow unscheduled visits 6 months after may not be enforceable. Treat your adopted pet well and tell anyone who interferes to f off.

HN has a favoriting feature.

Also not French.

If there were no tariffs, they could import a car without Chinese electronics on-board and install approved gear in it before selling it.

It doesn't refute GPs point. If foreign EVs are better than ICE vehicles manufactured by union labor, the unions are going to have a problem letting the foreign EVs in.

That link says the ban comes into effect for model year 2027. And it applies to cars with software and hardware from China. The cars themselves are fine.

US emissions went up last year.

The link says restrictions on software take effect in model year 2027 and hardware in 2030. So those rules are not in force yet right?

And if this were really the issue, why wouldn't BYD build vehicles with swappable control software and hardware? Ship unfinished vehicles to the US and install approved electronics in them?

"They subsidize their industries. We protect local jobs." Totally different things.

But if AI saves you 30 minutes a day you can serve an additional client.

I forgot another source of ROI. As each landscaper reduces their prices their addressable market (people able to afford landscaping) expands. By saving time using AI, they are able to serve more of that market. So the actual ROI will still be positive.

And keep in mind this is one market with relatively undifferentiated players (landscaping services) that we are talking about. Markets where operators have more pricing power will be even better off.

If we follow your argument to its logical conclusion, any technical or capital investment by a landscaper is pointless. They may as well use manual lawnmowers, rakes instead of leafblowers, and go from job to job on bicycles instead of pickup trucks.

Is there a source for this?

The DC is going to pay $108m in property taxes per year? There's a source for this?

You're still wrong about the job creation benefits. But if this is really, verifiably true it sounds like a good deal.

> The best benefit is going to be how much tax revenue we get from this DC

You're saying this all over the thread, but not one word about how much revenue and what percent of your county's budget that is. Some actual numbers please.

> Politician promised "no data centers". District was unsuitable for data centers anyway.

On the bright side, here's a politician who can keep their promise.

Nuclear plants take over a decade to build. Data centers take a few months or years. New nuclear isn't going to power any data centers for a long, long time.

> This is going to bring a LOT of money to my county

How much?

Which means any landscaper who doesn't use "GrokBot" will lose customers to those who do and have lower prices. For every landscaper, other than the first one to adopt "GrokBot" and lower their prices, there is ROI.

Why would a rational market assign zero ROI to a landscaper managing their communications more efficiently?

Agree. Comparing it to other industrial users (X car factories) might be more useful.

In addition to being utterly terrifying, this would fall afoul of the "cruel and unusual punishments" thing /s

(What a typo)

People are allowed to have gut feelings about how things will turn out, based on their internal "world model". Nowhere did I say I had reached a conclusion. Since we don't have data either way, you're doing the same thing as me, but in the other direction.

This isn't anything like innocent-until-proven-guilty.

Doesn't actually say which stocks those are. Semiconductors? Hyperscalers? We're left to guess.

The article addresses that in the last couple of paragraphs.

"In effect, the administration is promoting European rearmament and European defense cooperation while simultaneously promoting politicians who oppose rearmament or defense cooperation."

Oracle the company filing for Chapter 11 protection doesn't mean Oracle the software stops running on all the machines it's installed on.
