Land-Value tax first, abolish rent control second. Why don't the anti-rent-control advocates support land-value tax. Perhaps because they actually prefer distortions that favor themselves?

Furthermore, the embassies that came from tributary states like Vietnam and Korea did not come to impress the throne; they came to seek the emperor’s approval, which gave them political power back home. To demonstrate their government’s legitimacy in the eyes of the powerful Qing emperor was (at least in China’s eyes) to argue for their own sovereign’s right to rule in his own country. And to gain this approval, they paid tribute. They readily performed the so-called kowtow before the emperor in the manner of his own ministers—a prescribed ritual of nine kneeling bows to the ground (three sets of three) to humble themselves in his presence. And it made perfect sense to do so, because in their recognizing the supremacy of the emperor of China, the eminent power in Asia, he would recognize their supremacy within their own, smaller countries.

I met Dr. Engelbart at a conference in the mid-nineties. A totally fascinating individual with lots of great stories. Although our interaction was brief you couldn't help becoming convinced he was totally motivated by his sincere desire to make the world a better place.

What has often baffled me is that the poor man spent the last twenty five years of his life looking for funding with neither the government or Valley companies willing to support him. Hard to imagine what else he might have created.

I got the DPT-RP1 2 months ago for my graduate studies. Despite all the known problems, one of the best gadgets I ever got.

It replaced my notebook completely and lots of papers as well. The lack of apps (compared to Ipad Pro/Surface etc.) is a feature for me as the device focuses on its strengths and limits distractions for me. It is way more convenient to take to meetings than any other electronic device. Reading is perfect (and no comparison to any non-e-paper device) and note taking works well too. Had no problem with the app so far (on windows).
My only cons are the high price and build quality (does not really feel like a "premium" device, don't know if it holds for many years).

Would highly recommend the device (RP1/CP1 - whatever size desired) for anyone who needs to read a lot of papers / take a lot of notes and doesn't mind the high price.

Jesuit missions to China some two centuries earlier wowed Ming officials with technological wonders, high-quality illustrated works, and mathematical and mnemonic tricks. The British may have attempted to follow a similar model to impress the Qing court, not realizing (as noted in TFA) that representatives from other states were expected to behave in a different manner.

A great read on the early Jesuit missions to China (as well as insights into the late stages of the Ming Dynasty) is Ross Terrill's The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci

I want to point out that dilution isn't strictly bad if the final sale price of the company is high enough. E.g. if the company sold for a billion, then 0.01% would be a cool million dollars. It's better to own 0.01% of a billion dollar company than 10% of a million dollar company.

Dilution can be beneficial in cases when diluting equity for cash in the short term would lead to an increase in the overall value of the company in the long term (e.g. the tradeoff most venture backed companies make when swinging for the fences).

The kicker here is that most companies are not billion dollar companies or even multi-hundred million dollar companies. Essentially, the role of dilution is different at different stages of funding and company growth. It can be a bad thing, especially if improperly used during a company exit like an acquisition. It can also be a good thing if it ultimately leads to a higher overall exit in the future.

It's a financial tool that can be properly or improperly used and one which a regular employee doesn't have control over. That's why being able to trust leadership is critical when joining a startup. If you think the CEO won't do the right thing when the time comes to do the right thing, then all bets are off and your equity means nothing even if the company achieves moderate success.

I know that most of what I wrote is super basic, but I've been seeing more and more comments around here that imply that all dilution is bad no matter the circumstances. But that just isn't the case.

I've been reading through an ancient edition of "Programming Prolog", which is good, but I've had a hard time finding modern code samples. The code in the book mostly works, but I've seen some weird behavior that I suspect is due to language changes. It'll be nice to have these up-to-date examples using modern idioms.

I'm not making a particular argument for this specific circumstance.

But I do believe in asking, when a "bad" situation refuses to change for the better, "Who's benefiting?"

To go a bit paranoid: We have apparently confirmed reporting of condemned prisoners' organs in China being "donated." "Donated", in quotes, because it seems to be unclear who controls the decision and whether it has created a demand driving an increase in "supply".

Leaving organs out of the mix, there seem to be a fair number of people who think "it's their own fault" and the these deaths in the U.S. are simply ridding society of problems. Whether or not they'll say that, and to whom...

Drug crime law enforcement disproportionately impacts people and communities of color.

We also continue to have racial and socio-economic prejudice. And exploitation. So, who's benefiting from that?

And lately in the news, the prescription opioid manufacturers.

So, amidst this crisis, by all means, ask who is harmed, and how, and how to fix that. But don't forget to ask, who's benefiting.

And how far are they willing to take that?

The bit at the top of the that says

So... is this deadlock fundamentally related to the speculative execution glitch(es)?
I'd suggest that a solution to the demand problem is basic income. Let those who can and want to move out to the sticks and live on UBI. There are a nearly unlimited number of places with low cost of living and ample or potentially ample housing. Why does everyone want to move to SF and NY? It's not the poop on the sidewalk, it's mostly the jobs. Fewer people having to move to big cities for work (especially those who prefer the country) means less housing pressure.

I think UBI would significantly help relieve housing pressure in large metro areas and perhaps help revitalize some currently-dying small towns and rural areas, which after all will need more services with increased population.

This happens to some extent in some places - e.g., a large amount of private apartments in Singapore are built in 99 year ground leases. The problem is that you end up with a 50 year old building that is falling apart and should be redeveloped, but it's not worth it on a 50 year lease, or you need to negotiate a complicated and expensive lease top-up.

Lots of important land uses like airports, factories, train stations require huge investment with returns spread over decades or centuries, it would be harder to get people to make these investments on leased land.

> No amount of technology traveling at the speed of light will solve the simple problem that you belong to an ideological sub-group that ferociously disagrees with another sub-group about how things should be run.

Yeah, I'm not claiming that technology solves things. I'm claiming the opposite, at least as far as our current government processes are concerned. Those processes have effectively been "broken" by changes in communication and movement.

This is an example. Liberals are aghast that the court didn't overstep their constitutional function here. Conservatives are happy that the process was followed, but they're not really happy that companies can effectively force employees into kangaroo court.

From a state's rights perspective, there's no reason that the federal government should be dealing with any of this really, states should be plenty capable of handling employment law. The federal government exists to set tariffs, administer borders and national defense, and ratify treaties. But because people and information can now move so freely, we've spent the last 100 years, more or less, ignoring the on-paper purview of federal and state governments.

You can say "Get Congress to pass a law" all you want but it's little consolation (in part because Congress is paralyzed in this environment). I would guess that most Americans on both sides of aisle want employees to be able to sue their employers in these cases -- hardly an instance of "virulent polarization" -- but that message is getting obscured by pedantry and partisanship on the boundaries of judicial interpretation. There are many similar issues, where most people don't really disagree per se, but the media and politicians still make sure things are arranged for maximum loyalty exploitation.

> Any American that argues "each state will handle things on its own" is just making the same argument that a European might make

Yeah, I'm a conservative, I understand and support the argument for state's rights, and I know how it's supposed to work theoretically. And before you point at the EU too enthusiastically, ask yourself how a similar situation would've played out there.

> Federalism was never about the logistics of walking to state lines.

I mean, it may not have been about it, but it was much more practical in a pre-telecommunication, pre-automobile, pre-airplane world.

Because I support state's rights, I recognize that we need to be realistic about things and make reasonable adaptations. It's not reasonable to pretend that the massive changes in movement and communication don't impact the way our republic functions.

Dogmatically grasping to processes established 200 years ago is only convincing everyone else that conservatism and governance by ruthless, cold pedantry are inextricable. That's bad. Maintaining conservative principles is not necessarily the same as enslaving oneself to the heartless rehearsal of dead scripts.

> eliminating property tax only incentives blocking all new development to drive up property values and encourage rent seeking

I'm quite interested to see your reasoning behind that statement. Don't people still want their property values to go up even with property taxes? Except in a no property tax scenario, people who own their homes outright would still be able to stay if they wanted to. Perhaps no property taxes would more highly encourage local owners to restrict newcomers. Isn't the government also interested in increasing property values so they can receive more revenue? In that case I suppose they would in a sense be "earning" the taxes they levy.

Under the Texas Privacy Act of 2013 [1], a drone operator capturing an image of a person on private property is subject to a $5000 civil penalty. Distributing the image can result in significantly higher damages. If done to surveil it becomes a crime in addition to a civil penalty.

We hope to get feedback from the first batch of customers on how to improve these.

I'll be adding these examples to the site shortly.

This is the exact same problem I've always had many times when tinkering with electronics, so I can wholeheartedly understand it. Fortunately with computers you can pretty much promise laymen that any problem they cause fixable with no cost (except time), but in the case of electronics I find it much more difficult to overcome the fear that I might actually physically fry something and need to buy a new one. Anyone have tips for that?

Don't forget to film this happening, repeatedly.

If you can show it's much more than a one-off, and how low the drone is, etc., you may get a more sympathetic reaction from authorities. Whether it's the police, a court, or whatever.

In addition to drone use and behavior, specifically, many communities have nuisance laws and ordinances.

If your neighbor is making a nuisance of themself, the "drone" part may be incidental in getting the behavior to stop.
