In the U.K. if something like that was built it would put up the value of the smaller units as there is potential for redevelopment.

The UK has a lot of Victoria era terraced houses, and in big cities it's pretty common to see the attic converted into another bedroom or an extension build on the garden [0].

> scruple's boss should have told him that right at the interview stage, before a job offer is made.

Well, this is awkward. I don't think you even read my original post. I literally said that I transitioned from on-site to part-time remote to full-time remote. I've been with this company for many years, it's gone exceptionally well until very recently.

> Maybe say that he expects scruple to turn up in the office for a few days every month.

We've had the working agreement ever since I went full-time remote, back when I was on a different team, that I am unequivocally full-time remote with no obligations to turn up in the office. *editing this to add: If that needs to change because of new team dynamics, that's fine, but it's going to be awfully hard on my colleague in Mexico.

> Or whenever a major decision needs to be made and scruple is out of the loop.

Major decisions should NEVER be made in isolation or with team members who aren't even sure what is being tabled. Why do we need to play "catch up the other 3 team members" when we're having a discussion about a major decision? Oh, because another team member keeps having side conversations with product people or customers and not relaying the information back to the rest of their team? Hmm, sounds like a personnel problem to me -- and not with the "out of the loop" team members, either.

> Or have regular one-on-one meetings over video-conference with everyone in the team to remain connected, making up for his physical absence.

Myself, my other full-time remote colleague, and my other 2 team members who are on-site meet every single working day. We scrum, we go our agile rituals, we pair remotely, etc... We meet with our product people over video conference twice a week. We meet with our managers infrequently but I personally talk to my manager over the phone at least once a week.

> Whatever the details are, scruple's boss should have told me he'll need to make an extra effort to make up for his remote work, and both sides can then decide whether to go ahead with the job.

Tax reform, zoning reform, and light rail are not mutually exclusive ideas. The density issues we face aren't so much about too much or too little density, but uneven density.

We have urban wasteland regions, and then nearby you might see very crowded areas. Car culture and zoning play a big role in that, but land speculation ought not be underestimated. Every vacant lot or abandoned building is owned by someone. If it is left vacant, that is because the owner is choosing to keep it that way. A high tax on land value, regardless of whether it is in use, would ensure that those who aren't making use of prime locations sell it off or rent it out affordably to people who do intend to make use.

It isn't as if vacant lots provide breathing room, and make cities nice places to be. Parks do that, sure, but not vacant lots. Vacant lots just attract weeds, vermin, and used heroin needles.

I admit, my focus on tax reform is actually because it would raise wages, reduce unemployment, and improve economic efficiency... and thereby improve the rate and trajectory of social progress. But the benefit of more rational land use is a nice little bonus on top of that.
What contradiction?

Absolutely. He should be given a medal and a tickertape parade. He's one of the few real heroes of our age.

No, but that metaphor is totally unrelated to what Snowden did.

> People deny anthropogenic global warming because they don't want to look at the details

There's a reasonable argument that we're fairly clueless about how most natural systems actually work. I heard recently that plate tectonics wasn't even a theory until the 70s! It's a tricky situation because the political aspect of global warming is both the only way to solve it and the thing getting in the way of it being solved.

I think people intuitively understand that science doesn't have this figured out. Which isn't to say the science is wrong! But papering over those gaps in knowledge by immediately ascribing all data to global warming does more to hurt the cause than help. It's easy to be a skeptic when there are so many low quality articles like this being produced.

"I succinctly recognized these so-called mechanics are really just symptoms of other underlying actions and motivations. "

I have no idea what that means or what you're referring to. You still haven't addressed any of the arguments I made.

Once more, my response to your argument:

>Having the means to pay and needing the service for life or death reasons have nothing do with the forces that drive costs down, namely consumers bargain hunting for the lowest price service that offers adequate an level of quality. Neither being poor nor needing a service for a life-or-death reasons, will prevent consumers from bargain hunting. The factors are orthogonal to those that affect cost trends.

All you've done is try to justify the unscientific response you provided to my comment, which contains only ad hominem ideological name-calling about the source, rather than addressing the facts it listed and logic it offered.

To recap: you've had a viscerally emotional response, where you engaged in totally rude and intellectually dishonest behaviour against me, all because the argument I made is for the free market, and the party I cited believes in the free market. This embodies everything wrong with our political system.

The worst part of the whole episode, even worse than 'deleted the active database by accident', was '(backups) were no one's responsibility'.

The paragraph on Wikipedia has links to a grand total of 3 articles, one of which by Everett himself, and the other two by the same trio of people. So it's disingenuous to write that Wikipedia "has links to articles".

Wikipedia points to a controversy started by 3 people, to which Everett responded, to which the same 3 people responded again.

It's difficult to go any further since said articles are behind a paywall.

I was born in and live in Canada, but am a US citizen through a parent. The US imposes difficult reporting requirements and regulations on its citizens living abroad. All bank accounts, their balances, stocks, earnings, and more. If you make above about $100k, the US demands taxes on your income, even if you earned the money locally and have never stepped foot in the US. (Edit: Only if living in a country with lower taxes than the US.) Retirement savings accounts and other financial tools that are given local tax breaks, the US does not recognize, and may tax your contributions on.

If you have not met your reporting obligations, whether you were aware of them or not, they can impose huge fines. Many american citizens here, or those with american parents, fear crossing the border or drawing attention to themselves.

Lottery winnings are not taxed by Canada, but if an american wins the lottery anywhere in the world, the USA will take its chunk.

And to add insult to injury, if you want to get out and give up your US citizenship for good, it will cost you. Before 2010 renunciation was free. From then to 2014, it was $400. Now they charge $2,350 plus a big exit tax if your net worth is above $2m.

The US is the only country that taxes its overseas citizens this way, beside Eritrea.
