KWin developers decided not to play this game either and just ignore EGLStreams[1]. Gnome on the other hand budged and implemented an extra path.

The main point that Martin made back then:

> Overall we are not thrilled by the prospect of two competing implementations. We do hope that at XDC the discussions will have a positive end and that there will be only one implementation. I don't care which one, I don't care whether one is better as the other. What I care about is only requiring one code path, the possibility to test with free drivers (Mesa) and the support for atomic mode settings. Ideally I would also prefer to not have to adjust existing code.

KWin though has the benefit of supporting X11 which Nvidia blob users can rely on. Wayland only compositors are really in a tough spot, until this mess is resolved.

There's definitely savings that amazon could deliver.. take the (slim) wholesale profits + add the pharmacy profits.

They did something similar with books.. they cut out the wholesalers like ingram, and negotiated directly with the publishers.. allowing Amazon's retail price to be equal or less than Ingrams price that small book retailers pay... meaning even at 0% markup, amazon undercuts the small book retailers. (this was even before ebooks)

They could do the same here.. giving up the retail pharmacy profits.. undercutting every other pharmacy

Plus, at pharmacies efficiency could definitely be improved.. at the very least by reducing the number of $120k/yr pharmacists that are needed.
Bingo. That was the intention of my little double-cross. Wasn't sure if I pulled it off, though.

Where I live it’s a straight property tax reduction. In my current house I pay 1500/year in property taxes. If it was not my primary residence the property tax would be between 6k-8k.

Instead of changing the assessed value, it lowers the percentage of tax paid on the value.

Welp, then, a law will be erected that forces lawyers to report info of shell companies if they are involved in real estate deal.

Just a few months ago, US govt started a program where if a foreigner buys real estate of a certain value ($4 million?) in certain hot markets like Los Angeles, NYC, they have to report it to Treasure or IRS. As of now, that value is too high to be effective imo, but there are ways.

> someone born in New Zealand

NZ is a country of immigration, and gives full rights to all citizens. This has nothing to do with where anyone is born.

> What gives .. any more rights than anyone else

Property rights are laws. They can be made, altered, and revoked. What gives NZ citizens the right to buy existing houses will be NZ laws, promulgated by a democratically elected parliament.

> This myopic nationalist mindset is ridiculous

There's a perfectly reasonable non-nationalist approach to this kind of law change, based on trying to keep housing available for people who can't bid against the global rich. I'm sure plenty of NZ progressives would love to protect the world's poor from the depredations of the 1%. But given the NZ parliament's limited jurisdiction (viz., to NZ), this seems like a reasonable start.
If we had universal healthcare I'd believe that would be an appropriate response. Much like you can turn your home into a garbage dump and live in that if you have acres of empty land around you, but you can't in a dense city you are allowed to destroy your body but not at everyone else's expense

The 3 big wholesalers (Amerisource, McKesson, Cardinal) also own/operate PSAOs that provide various value add services to independent pharmacies.

I would say PBMs are far more creative with arbitraging and financial engineering, because they deal directly with plan payers, pharmacists, distributors, pharma, DME mfr, and patients.

They offer price guarantee/inflation protection, rebates to payers; they have very granular reimbursement agreement with pharmacies along with performance guarantees or penalties depending on how much generics they dispense, there is copay assistance program with pharma and patients.

PBM is a complex business, but there's no huge pool of money sloshing around. Money is in pharma and overall healthcare systems.

I feel there could exist "academic industries." There should surely be a way to do similar research for industries. With proper infrastructure I feel like companies can own and sell research materials, allowing them to hire academic researchers to do academic research related to the companies field.

The issue of the Catalans is quite complex and I don't think that anybody will be able to make a short summary in a forum comment. The Wikipedia entry about Catalan Independence contains a lot of information but I would say that does not explain all the reasons:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_independence

My take: Catalans are a National Minority in Spain. Catalonia has its own government, culture, language and, quite important, different political culture. Just to give you an idea, the party of Rajoy (Spanish president) that wins with majority in Spain election after election, got only 8% of the votes in the Catalan Parliament.

After the death of the Fascist Dictator General Franco, many catalans thought that Catalonia would be able to thrive as a Nation inside of Spain. This general opinion lasted for many years but, since 10 years ago, the attacks of the Government of Spain against the autonomy of Catalonia have made many people change their minds and realize that that the only way Catalonia will survive is by getting its own State.

> why tf would people want to "break" a country that works so well

Spain does not work so well. It has a massive unemployment and some of the lowest salaries in Europe. The economy is f* up and the Spanish government just spent all the money that was supposed to be used to pay our public pensions once we retire.

Also, the most important thing for me, is that most of the politicians in the Spanish main political party (PP) have direct links with the Fascist Dictatorship. Could you imagine a minister in Germany was the son of a Nazi official? Well, this is quite common in Spain.

NZ citizens aren't under any obligation to put your interests before those of their fellow citizens. It would be generous for them to consider you, and generosity is good, all things being equal (and NZ has an admirable record as a generous polity). But the side-effect in this case it to allow poor New Zealanders to be predated on by the global rich. They have clearly decided to attempt to prevent this predation.
I normally similarly dislike the myopic nationalist tendencies but disagree with you here. When countries/people say "bring back jobs from China" I hate it. Chinese are humans and they aren't taking the jobs to screw you.. They are doing it to put food on the table.. How can you begrudge someone that? Particularly when the standard of living it so much lower on average there than the countries the complainers come from e.g. US, Australia. However, this is a rule preventing NON-RESIDENTS from purchasing. So long as you actually live in NZ a Chinese national could still buy property. I can understand why you'd prioritize residents being allowed to purchase over non-residents but of course this doesn't address wealthy residents buying their 20th investment property so it is at least a little distasteful in my opinion.
Buyers that don't actually live in the house and let it sit empty create a negative externality. Enough empty houses and you end up with empty neighborhoods.

(This happens with domestic buyers too but the problem of huge empty investment properties seems to have come along with foreign investment?)

Refer to the country's founding document, the Treaty of Waitangi[0],

> The Treaty established a British Governor of New Zealand, recognised Māori ownership of their lands, forests, and other properties, and gave Māori the rights of British subjects.

Although it was and remains a stark contrast to the way the British approached the natives and land of other colonies, there are ongoing issues with implementation today, see the link.

I truly fear the day the NBN comes to my area. I am currently with Telstra and fortunately have HFC, I get pretty reliable speeds between 112 and 115mbps, with ping of 9ms. I am a developer and I rely on my currently decent connection to make money, video call clients in other countries, transfer large files (to and fro) if speeds were to suffer resulting in the inability to communicate properly, it would be crushing.

The fact that retailers are not purchasing enough bandwidth means you're buying a Ferrari with a broken engine that is being pulled by a single horse. My area is slated for NBN 2019, let's hope they do something about the bandwidth before then (apparently at an estimates hearing a solution was promised by Christmas this year). What a joke.

I don't know Australia or New Zealand, but in London that is demonstrably not true: The proportion of empty properties in the areas that are attractive for investment is the same as elsewhere, and the proportion of empty council housing is pretty much the same as empty luxury housing. As it happens, most long term empty properties are empty for other reasons, such as waiting for re-development of the property, or large scale renovations and the like, or issues with sorting out ownership following death etc..

Sure, a few are left empty by owners who just don't care, but there's very little indication this number is high. Especially as in most countries there are rental management companies that makes it trivial to rent out a property even if you're an absentee landlord.

Disagree: you are avoiding taking a gain (assuming the stock grants are below the market value of the stock) in order to avoid taxes (but you will still GAIN money, even after taxes), in exchange for risking that the stock will decline in value.

It all depends on your risk tolerance of course, but avoiding selling at a gain RIGHT NOW in order to avoid taxes is not a good reason.

Someone suggesting relaxing zoning restrictions is not inherently suggesting no restrictions. It doesn't mean "sky scrapers" at all to suggest zoning could be relaxed from single story. It certainly doesn't mean sky scrapers as far as the eye can see. Nor does it mean you should be able to build a toxic waste dumps. You can move the line without removing it, to suggest otherwise is irrational and weakens you argument IMHO.

Back in my sleep-deprived days after my oldest was born I had an app idea similar to this, but with an added dash of AI/machine learning.

Imagine a bunch of parents using a free/relatively inexpensive application, tracking feeding schedules, sleep, food intake, play etc. and then ranking each day as a thumbs up/down.

Taking that data, properly anonymizing it and then comparing it across babies with similar characteristics (location, age, siblings etc.) you could suggest a daily schedule (with alerts) that would trend closer to a thumbs up.

Started with a prototype, but it never amounted to much. I just imagine the collective value of some of the data managed by these applications and the potential to ease the extremely challenging (but rewarding!) experience of being a parent.
Author here. I should probably mention this, I'll add some information. It's not all roses here, either, for what it's worth.
this doesn't qualify as a case of reductio ad absurdum because the original argument was not "why don't we allow duplexes?" but "why does the collective have a say in this at all?"

and the answer to that is "because of negative externalities"

Fair enough, although my statement was more about the amount of sunlight they get per day, for all days of the year versus someone closer to the poles having to adjust to constant fluctuations.

You're right when you say that they get ~12 hours every single day, but their clocks would still have to account for the slight changes (by a few minutes) in time for the sunrise. Which means changing their clocks everyday/every few days, based on the sunrise. But for what? They anyway get ~12 hours sunlight, so it's not a worthy tradeoff for them, compared to someone in Massachusetts.

If only humans worked like batteries, soaking up the summer sun to use it in winters..

Restricted supply of housing is a net social loss: https://urbanpolicy.berkeley.edu/pdf/QR2005.pdf

Developers would stop investing in projects as soon as projects became forecasted to be unprofitable. If the housing supply is being artificially restricted below its clearing price, there's a gap between minimum profitable housing unit, and the housing units that can currently be sold. The idea behind lifting the zoning restrictions is to allow supply to reach market clearance.

And if it turns out that if new housing wouldn't be profitable, there won't be any changes. (Though a pattern we see in cities with less strict zoning (see: Montreal) is that we get expensive, cramped apartments near the city center, with lots of empty land around the edges. This is okay too! It's good for other reasons, by reducing commute times and making mass transit more affordable. Density is good!)
