@scott@carfree.cityI'm shocked, shocked, that waiving the transfer tax on downtown office to residential conversions did not result in a single such conversion happening.
Well, not that shocked. (The real point of March 2024 Prop C was the sneaky provision letting the SFBOS reduce the transfer tax altogether without an election. Not to produce housing but to cut downtown landlords' taxes.)

@cdarwin@c.imJoe Rogan, the influential podcast host, said on his show Tuesday that
the war in Iran was “crazy”
and had left Americans feeling “betrayed” by Trump,
describing the conflict as a sharp reversal from the policies that the president had campaigned on.
“It just seems so insane,”
said Mr. Rogan, who endorsed Trump in 2024 and said he still texted with him on occasion.
“He ran on no more wars:
End these stupid, senseless wars.

@gwire@mastodon.socialTelegraph has a story claiming that the UK gas reserves are about to run out:
> “The UK’s gas reserves have shrunk from 18,000 GWh worth last year to 6,700 GWh – enough for just 1.5 days of demand”
And that piece maybe could have used a graph? Based on data.nationalgas.com the difference is between the blue (last year) and green (this year) lines on the rightmost edge of this graph:

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioHere is wisdom. I learned this too late in life, and am still not sure I’ve learned it well:
❝Don’t feel like you need to fix everything. A common response to bearing witness to another’s trauma is to try and fix it. We don’t want others to suffer. That said, you may not be offering what the other person or group is clearly stating they need. If they need you to listen, and you choose to act but not listen, then you have both not supported them in their trauma and violated a boundary.❞

@arXiv_csDS_bot@mastoxiv.pageA $5$-Approximation Analysis for the Cover Small Cuts Problem
Miles Simmons, Ishan Bansal, Joe Cheriyan
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.01462 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.01462 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.01462
arXiv:2602.01462v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In the Cover Small Cuts problem, we are given a capacitated (undirected) graph $G=(V,E,u)$ and a threshold value $\lambda$, as well as a set of links $L$ with end-nodes in $V$ and a non-negative cost for each link $\ell\in L$; the goal is to find a minimum-cost set of links such that each non-trivial cut of capacity less than $\lambda$ is covered by a link. Bansal, Cheriyan, Grout, and Ibrahimpur (arXiv:2209.11209, Algorithmica 2024) showed that the WGMV primal-dual algorithm, due to Williamson, Goemans, Mihail, and Vazirani (Combinatorica, 1995), achieves approximation ratio $16$ for the Cover Small Cuts problem; their analysis uses the notion of a pliable family of sets that satisfies a combinatorial property. Later, Bansal (arXiv:2308.15714v2, IPCO 2025) and then Nutov (arXiv:2504.03910, MFCS 2025) proved that the same algorithm achieves approximation ratio $6$. We show that the same algorithm achieves approximation ratio $5$, by using a stronger notion, namely, a pliable family of sets that satisfies symmetry and structural submodularity.
