LVT is a good policy but it doesn't make land ownership a bad investment. It just tends to decrease the price of land, which is not usually a problem because land is not produced by people, unlike other securities.
I really like situations like these... places where you get singularities.. divide by zero situations that break things. It's where really interesting stuff happens that can be unexpected and lead to new ideas and understanding.

Its actually legitimate. Stefan Molyneux explains:

Publishers of Baba Yaga, indeed, seem to be so much against the Soviets that they even use pre-1918 Russian orthography just because the switch to the new one happened after the Revolution despite it being prepared by the Imperial Academy of Sciences long before that.
You could also argue that Japan's extremely low crime rate makes it a safe place for families to live. But good luck getting the US crime rate down to those levels. Japan is an outlier in so many ways that it's not useful to use the country for comparison. It has a completely unique culture and an almost totally homogenous population, ethnically and culturally.

I have yet to see anyone put forth a realistic proposal for achieving the social harmony of Japan in a country as diverse as the United States.
It's inevitable that land prices in urban areas will go up as populations grow. That doesn't mean that the price of housing has to grow too. You could build more density (build up, build smaller units) to keep rents and prices stable.
I don't think it's even in their own economic interest. I think it's just fear of the unknown and nostalgia. I'd love it if my neighborhood were to become popular enough for someone deciding that they want to build a skyscraper next to my house. It would mean the land value alone would allow me to retire.
I think you're basically saying that for housing to stay affordable, entry level housing should lower in quality over time. If you buy an entry level house today for price X, and you expect it to be worth X*k at some future time, and you expect other people to still buy houses for X at that future time, then those houses have to be lower quality.
I propose changing the name of the 'hard' science to 'easy' science. Because there are definitive answers, because the answers don't change when you ask the question, and because political input is rarer.

Just think about how much you trust the 'hard' sciences where these points do not hold.. Climate science.. food science.. Quantum physics.. Hell, computer science!

Seems like the issue is not that they can't staff it but rather aren't competitive with other institutes who attract the same talent.

The reason that land is a good investment is precisely because of future land rents that a land buyer expects to receive.

If these land rents are instead paid towards a tax, how wouldn't this make land less of a good investment?
I dought it's inconvenience... Most likely a form of incompetence, at some level, in some department. Everyone can recognize the severity of this information leaking to "enemies of the state".

I agree it probably won't matter. I wish it would, but it won't.

However, I will be moving a handful of domains to Easy DNS because I appreciate them taking this position. I looked at Gab once a while back and was mostly disgusted, and never looked back, but I don't like this trend toward censoring and deplatforming. I don't worry about my speech being censored because (at least for now) it's relatively popular. But popular speech isn't the speech that needs protecting, the unpopular speech does.
I feel the same way. There is a fair amount of stigma that boomers also look down on millennials. As a result, I think there is a bit of a dim view the opposite way: seeing a generation that has been able to take and control so much while resenting the one coming next.
You read the post incorrectly. The GP did not buy in the Bay area, but in some other "top 15 city."
Lots of drone people, so I’ll drop my off topic drone question: why isn’t gasoline more popular in the drone world? Isn’t the energy to weight ratio like 100x compared to LiPo?
No, my point is that I think you're wrong. I don't believe it was ever widely recognized by US jurisprudence and I want you to cite your claims that prove it was. Preferably from a neutral source. Because as far as I can tell, it only explicitly applied to company towns, which means you bringing it up in this argument is entirely moot.

And again, you miss the distinction. A private person has the right to prevent people from being on their property, but not prevent them from using the sidewalk. A company similarly has the right to prevent people from using their property, but not the right to stop people from accessing the greater internet.

Facebook, Google, Twitter etc may be large, but them removing you or preventing you from accessing their services is not the same as a company town using the government in attempt to prevent your distribution of pamphlets. The wikipedia article for this ruling even covers this case as someone being banned from a mall is not a sufficient violation of their freedom of speech rights. To appropriately cite the case of Lloyd Corp vs Tanner:

>The facts in this case are significantly different from those in Marsh, supra, which involved a company town with "all the attributes" of a municipality, and Logan Valley, supra, which involved labor picketing designed to convey a message to patrons of a particular store, so located in the center of a large private enclave as to preclude other reasonable access to store patrons. Under the circumstances present in this case, where the handbilling was unrelated to any activity within the center and where respondents had adequate alternative means of communication, the courts below erred in holding those decisions controlling. [1]

Of which the decision should be clear: Given that there were clear alternatives in communication, this was not a violation of his rights to free speech.

I think you have it backwards - the vuln hits Intel and possibly AMD.
The problem with free speech on the Internet is that our human minds have not sufficiently evolved to even remotely begin to understand just how fundamentally the Internet changes our perception of our fellow humans.

We have a bunch of rentals around here and we have no plans at all to ever sell. And when we die the tax basis for our kids will be the value of the properties at our time of death. (And I think they can even start using depreciation again.)

>A triangle drawn on the wrong place of a screen can be easy to see, but a typo in your integration subroutine? Hard to spot if you don't catch it when it is born.

Well, there's also this notion of testing and regression. As I said in another comment a few days ago:

>A few weeks ago I had a conversation with a friend of mine who is wrapping up his PhD. He pointed out that not one of his colleagues is concerned whether anyone can reproduce their work. They use a home grown simulation suite which only they have access to, and is constantly being updated with the worst software practices you can think of. No one in their team believes that the tool will give the same results they did 4 years ago. The troubling part is, no one sees that as being a problem. They got their papers published, and so the SW did its job.

The count is less important than the buying power.

Millennials, as a group, have significantly less buying power than their Baby Boomer peers at the same point in their lives.

One source, but eye-opening if you can believe/trust the underlying data:

"Only a third of millennials own their own home, compared with almost two-thirds of baby boomers at the same age. It will take a millennial on average 19 years to save for a deposit, compared[0] with three years in the 1980s. A third of millennials will, it is predicted, have a lifetime of renting with less space, poorer conditions, longer commutes and more insecurity than the baby boomers experienced."[1]

Replacing housing with salary, it doesn't seem obvious that the answer is yes, though. Quick Google for wage vs inflation came up with this, which appears to show that real wages actually haven't increased when you account for inflation. Maybe I'm missing something, but your point doesn't feel quite as self-evident as you imply.

There's a wonderful video[1] explaining just that. The TL;DW is that if you compare a renter & a buyer from day 1 to the end of a 25 year mortgage, both the renter and owner will have roughly the same net worth.

My folks always talked about how renting just pissed away money, but never mentioned how mortgages piss away an obscene amount of money on interest payments. (And repairs/tax/insurance/HOA/etc.)

Good point, prior to 2008 it seemed like everyone was convinced that buying a house was a no brainer and that renting was throwing your money away.

Maybe what happened with Detroit helped too.
> I like the wood, I think it is nice to see someone go a different route than copying Apple’s all metal, clean look. It’s a warm and organic look which feels fresh. I also suspect that the wood might help the machine dampen noise which would be welcome.

I disagree with the idea of creating "fresh" and "trendy" design. In all cases, except say Fashion, it creates substandard design to cater to originality & staying trendy. Timelessness cannot be realized if your design philosophy is to try to stay "fresh".

What is fundamentally wrong with metal & clean design? The answer shouldn't come from the fact that "Oh shit, someone is already doing that, let's do something different. May be wood?". The answer should come from fundamental understanding of materials, their use, durability, haptics & touch, engineering needs (bend radius, coefficient of thermal conductivity, flextural ridigity, etc.) and DFM aspects. Everything else is decoration, not design.

As Paul Rand said, "Don't try to be original. Just try to be good."
I still think Pop!_OS is not a household name even among the smaller set of people you refer to.
Yes. That is the purpose.

> Getting rid of zoning laws only works if you have a lot of extra land to sprawl out onto.

Other way around. Zoning encourages horizontal growth by constraining vertical growth. Once supply has reached horizontal and vertical limits, prices skyrocket to reach equilibrium with demand.

> Otherwise, even if you build up to get more dense ala NYC, HK, Tokyo, or Shanghai, the area will just become more attractive and more people will want to live there.

Density implies noise, pollution, traffic, people, and a certain type of urban lifestyle... all of which decrease attractiveness.
>I don't see how a research scientist could say this; something seems culturally wrong there.

I can tell you haven't spent time as a grad student in a top university in the US. There is almost no incentive for a research scientist to pursue this. They're very busy and stressed out, and this will not help them in any way. Your argument that one person wasted a lot of time, and so others will be spared that pointless effort is a sound one, but you have to realize that in some (sub)disciplines, scientists view a good bulk of the research as problematic and a waste of time. Why go through the trouble for this particular case?

Also, I doubt a simple email to Nature will change much. There would likely be a somewhat lengthy process, which will suck more of your time. And to be brutally honest, the chances are higher that the code did produce those results, but the grad students/post docs have been modifying the code for their next batch of research. Even something as basic as version control is unheard of in much of scientific research.

Definitely a cultural problem, as you describe it.
You’re correct. I think it’s ruby-graphviz that is (was?) under GPL.

Either way, as a lawyer, I wouldn’t let anything copyleft touch a project that is intended to be proprietary. If nothing else, the drafting of copyleft licenses is generally abominable, and prone to unintended consequences. For non-commercial projects, they’re fine but of marginal utility at best.

On the entire average, wages haven't increased. But you can't apply that argument to FAANG employees who are buying expensive homes in Bay Area, CA. Where very clearly salaries have as a matter of fact increased by a large percentage.

The same is the case with housing. Its not like the entire USA has the same housing prices as Bay Area, CA. In fact its not even the whole Bay Area, CA itself.

The thing is there is something always available for everybody. But one might not get what they want. Just like how every one wants to be a employee at Netflix and earn $500K but can't.
"Net positive" works only as long as it works...until it doesn't.

Overall economic growth may be "real" in the sense that is it growing organically, or it may be a complete fiction based on quantitative easing and manipulated stock prices. It is likely both, but like Bernie Madoff's scheme, the question will be whether you're someone who made a profit during the "good" years or those who took a bath once the scheme unraveled.
Obviously nobody says it should but some people want to participate in win-win scenarios that benefit them and others. If you own a business, you want to make more money as you provide more VALUE to OTHERS. Not because you got lucky, or deceived them.

True, but with owning the property I have equity in addition to the value increase.

Where I live monthly leases tend to be more expensive than what I pay per month for mortgage and taxes which would also be a loss. That said there is money to be made mortgaging residential real estate and leasing it out.

The only loss to ownership is that you are less portable. It takes more time and money to relocate.
You're forgetting that most people don't purchase their house in cash. OP received the gain on the value of the house, which is much higher than the actual cash outlay as the down payment. Feel free to ask your stock broker to purchase $125k worth of stocks for only $12.5k cash.

(obviously ignoring all selling costs, realtor fees, stamp/transfer taxes, interest payments, etc.)
In classical electromagnetism, we separate the electric field E and the magnetic field B.

If we isolate E, we get rest: electrostatics. Charged particles exert an attractive or repelling force in proportion to their charge, just like gravity, except charge instead of mass. So E is time-symmetric. This applies to your example.

Now consider just B. A positively charged particle is moving to the left, through a magnetic field that points inwards. By the right-hand rule, the force on the particle is up. Reverse time: now the particle is moving to the right, so you rotate your hand 180 degrees and the force is downwards. This magnetic field produced an upwards force forwards in time and a downwards force backwards in time: it's antisymmetric.

Put mathematically we have:

F = qv x B

where q is the charge, v is the velocity, B is the field. Reverse time and the velocity gets a minus sign, so F reverses.

So E is symmetric and B is anti-symmetric.
Pretty sure you can tap the model at any layer.

The irony here is that the 'intolerance' Popper was worried about was people using 'fists or pistols' and the whole thing was premised on the right of self-defense. Times have changed and that Overton window has shifted quite a bit, to the point where people use Popper to prop up the idea that they have a right to use their fists to silence people they hate based on a theory of future harm if those people were permitted to speak.

Having completely lost the idea that the right of self-defense is the right to use reasonable force to protect oneself from immanent violence and it doesn't apply when you start the fight. [1]

Reading this article is like watching someone beat the ocean with a stick. What would it look like for an "anti-deplatforming" initiative to succeed? All ideas have equal access to all platforms? Just the big ones? The objective is so poorly formed, it's not even wrong.

A platform's identity and ability to attract an audience are determined by the activities they accept / cultivate, not vice versa. Infowars wanted to be on Facebook because it made it easier to sell your grandparents vitamin supplements, but Facebook felt that leaving them on make it a place families (and their grandparents) won't visit. Gab would like to use Stripe or Paypal because they are trusted payment providers, but those networks felt they'd stop being trusted payment providers if they let Gab stay on.

And there's plenty of reason to think they're right: super-permissive platforms exist and work (4chan et al.), they just don't attract the same broad audience. When people complain about being deplatformed, they're just saying "the platforms that accept me aren't popular enough". I'm glad our internet is enough of a distributed commons that many platforms are broadly accessible -- but nobody owes you an audience at the most popular ones.
my old work gave me a microvax in the late 1990s. I rolled it out of work (security held the door open oddly didn't really check if I should be taking this thing), where it was used for cad. I got it working at home but honestly I didn't really have great software and buying anything additional was not easy at the compusa.. it ended up on the electronics scrap.

I give the computer museum credit for keeping this history in working order.
> Historically, a problem with movements of utopian ideals, is that they tend to be disconnected with reality while their adherents keep doubling down. Eventually, everyone is accused, and most everyone outside of the most fanatical true believers are frightened someone else will find out what it is they really think.

This kind of unions already exists, like for example the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (and actors have way more than 10x difference between them).

Bun in your opinion unions - like https://arkiv.sverigesingenjorer.se/About-us/ that work in other countries - will cause disconnection with reality the raise of fanatical believes and utterly chaos.
