> Are there any types of tax that are: 1. Reasonably within the means of cities to levy, and 2. Economically efficient?

Economic orthodoxy says that taxes in order of efficiency (from most to least) are: Land value taxes > property taxes > consumption taxes > income taxes > capital taxes > wealth taxes.

Cities in general are able to levy land value, property, and sales taxes fairly easily, and these are the most economically efficient taxes.

(And if you want to move from theory to empirical evidence, when relatively rich societies want to raise a lot of money, they almost invariably lean heavily on very large consumption taxes. If you need to raise a lot of money and don't want to burn your economy entirely to the ground, you can do a lot worse than a 20% VAT.)

> I am all for farmers cutting off food supply to urban areas.

You might want to rethink this. The cities wouldn't even notice.

Most cities have quite useful ports and can get food from elsewhere.

Said farmers would now have no domestic market and have pissed off their gateways to the non-domestic market.

In addition, the cities have very little love for the current crop of "farmers" as mostly they are servants of the big agribusinesses.

Yes, exactly!

This is one of the reasons 'free college' cannot happen. College jobs generally pay more, we cannot artificially remove associated costs or there will be an even bigger gap between degreed students and pupils of skilled trades.

The world needs plumbers, electricians, machinists, etc. We need to pay them well. Kids need to recognize the opportunities presented.

> The Three Mile island accident mostly teaches us that we got lucky.

Why is it considered luck? For it to be luck wouldn't we have to show that there was some way in which the explosion breaching the containment was possible and should've occurred, but due to chance didn't. (Seems like it could've been modeled but I couldn't find anything on that.)

> From 30 March through 1 April operators removed this hydrogen gas "bubble" by periodically opening the vent valve on the reactor cooling system pressuriser. For a time, regulatory (NRC) officials believed the hydrogen bubble could explode, though such an explosion was never possible since there was not enough oxygen in the system. [1]

> Our main conclusions were the following: (1) Most of the initial hydrogen in the bubble was produced by the reaction of the Zircalloy cladding with the super-heated water. (2) During the first 16 hr after shutdown, when boiling of the primary coolant water took place, in the worst case stoichiometric amounts of hydrogen and oxygen could have been produced by radiolysis, leading to a maximum amount of oxygen in the bubble, of 0.7% of the hydrogen, which is well below the explosion limit. (3) After this 16 hr period, when boiling had totally ceased, no further oxygen could have been produced by radiolysis of the primary cooling water. On the contrary, oxygen was recombined with hydrogen due to radiolysis at such a rate that the oxygen in the water was completely removed in less than five minutes. The subsequent rate of removal of oxygen from the bubble by dissolution and radiolysis depended essentially on the rate of dissolution. [2]

The biggest problem with VR in X-Plane is the headsets aren't high-res enough for the text on the instruments to be clear and readable. It's a bit better on the newer headsets with slightly higher resolution, but then the framerate tends to suffer. There's still a lot of room for improvement.
I think it'll support 8k, much in the same way the original wii supported HD. Just because it displays at 8k, doesn't mean it's top tier quality at 8k.

That said, on known/fixed hardware, there's some really cool things that can be done. I wouldn't expect a fast-twitch FPS at 8k, but something like Rocket League or Mario Kart, sure.
That's what I was wondering. Models will not be any smaller, and internet bandwidth is not so much of an issue. Maybe it's time to harness ye old servers they've got lying around the world.

If I’m buying a console that I expect to last me at least 3-4 years in 2020, then it better come with 8k support - if not for the games, at least so that the UI doesn’t look like crap on 8k TVs that will inevitably get dirt cheap in the next few years, and so I get video in native resolution by the time streaming services start having it.
> which is not near Seattle.

The city of Seattle has 0 power to force other municipalities to build housing.

Any attempts by Seattle to build shelters and low income housing projects outside of the city limits would be swiftly shut down, assuming those attempts could even get started.

Unfortunately Seattle has to pay the burden of the entire region. While some cities, such a Bellevue, are helping out, other cities around here have no real desire, or motivation, to start paying money in, and voters in those other cities would likely make that clear the second their elected officials started spending tax dollars.
Of course with luxury taxes the issue is avoidance more than evasion.

Sales based taxes are either regressive because it cannot be done without and are more or less fixed or avoidable because it can be done without.

Of course if reduced consumption of the given luxury is the goal it is sorta mission accomplished (too high and black markets may arise) but undermines the revenue generation goal.
And the very ugly optics of pushing homeless out of sight and out of mind.
Completely agree. YouTube videos have basically replaced written videogame reviews for most people - nobody wants to read paragraphs about what someone thought and felt, they want to see what you actually do in the game.

This had been happening for a decade or more based on anecdotal evidence - so much so that I had to double-check then change my intranet app at a previous smaller company (2008).

A similar problem happens on Glassdoor. If you look at the salaries for pretty much any position at a big legacy company the bulk of the data comes from reviews submitted up to a decade ago...during the depths of the financial crisis.

At many smaller companies with only a few submitted salaries, the problem is much worse. I've received offers for 2.5X the quoted salary for the same position glassdoor supposedly had 10 submitted salaries for (bay area).

None of these review aggregators are incentivized to dump old reviews and make it look like they have less data than their competitors. Inevitably, consumers will start trusting reviews less and less...similar to what has happened on Amazon.
Any idea how they're supporting ray-tracing? Haven't seen any details on AMD's answer to Nvidia's ray-tracing cores, but I presume it'll be part of RDNA, whatever that is, and use Microsoft DXR.

A generator must be maintained, tested, gasoline drained/conditioned regularly, etc ...

Many of the people I know who bought generators have been eyeballing battery storage very heavily. If the situation is so bad that you need your generator more than a week, you probably need to leave and go somewhere else anyway. And batteries are nearing the point where they can do what you need.
Before you write a line of code for #2, have a clear strategy for app distribution, user acquisition, free to paid conversion. It won’t just happen because you have a great product. Just remember to make a million a year, you need 10,000 people paying you $10 a month.

People wondering why you didn't just power through your doubts may be forgetting what the world was like not too long ago. 'Nerds' weren't cool. If you chose to be a nerd it meant _offering_ yourself up as the _loser_ in every sitcom, movie, or book. Playing video games was something you were supposed to grow out of. No one was throwing 80k at a graduate just because they could pronounce 'WWW'. Perhaps most importantly, _every_ school was pushing the race to no where. If you were thinking about a 'trade' it meant you had given up and would crack out fixing sinks for the rest of your life. At _best_ computers were taught as something you'd use at other careers. Not a career itself, really.

Being from Gimel (a small town in Vaud), a lot of the stories in the article remind me of happy memories growing up.

Switzerland has been struggling with an identity crisis of late as a lot of poorer immigrants from war-torn places (Albania when I was growing up, Maghreb and Middle East now) have been moving in to the cities, oftentimes not respecting our old traditions. Theft and petty crime is on the rise, and almost always at the hands of those poorer immigrants. It's led to a backlash that hasn't really brought out the best in us.

It's sad to see the cohesion and trustworthiness of the Swiss society disappear, though I guess it was somewhat inevitable.
When it started, crowd-sourced ratings seemed like such a great idea. But I now think it has either failed or is doomed to fail. I have noticed, for example, that some movies rated on IMDB split into 9 or 10 star and 1 or 2 star. These are generally movies that, in my opinion, are bad: poor writing, wooden acting and so on. I get the impression that the 9/10 are all paid for. Well written, but somehow wrong. The 1/2 always ring truer to me.

At least in the golden days of paid movie critics (or even restaurant reviewers) I could decide whether or not my tastes (in movies or restaurants) were similar to the critic. Crowd reviews make that impossible.

Call me old-fashioned, .... please.
ya this feels like just another symptom of expensive housing and all the roadblocks to building way more housing. Especially denser housing.

Yes, this seems needlessly restrictive. What's the harm in letting someone with nothing better to do read Harry Potter? I could imagine restrictions on certain kinds of books... like how to cover up forensic evidence, or how to tie knots, or whatever... but Harry Potter, or computer programming?
Does anyone have experience with bandwidth charges for colocated servers? If you pay $300 a month (or whatever it is, I really have no idea because most of these places don't post their prices publicly) to put a 1U somewhere with a 500mbps link, will they ever stop or throttle you if your use case is legitimate? It seems like colo could be significantly cheaper than cloud for a lot of high-bandwidth things that don't need HA.

It's exactly the same except the cabbie licenses/medallions were often shared among multiple independent businesses.

I'd be interested to know what the contract covered and the rules around placement and clearance rules, accessibility, lighting and safety around the docking stations - all things that the "fees" cabbies paid supposedly went towards.

I find non-docking (scooters from experience) to be a public nuisance - left anywhere and creating a tripping hazard especially for vision impaired people. They would be better off with council owning the docks (make them modular so you can expand/contract to match demand in an area) and selling licenses to cover the upkeep.

To begin with much of the design and operations of nuclear power stations were classed as state secrets, today they're classed as commercial secrets. Until the full operational characteristics of these generating stations are properly revealed we just can't trust nuclear power.
I’ve set up scripts that periodically grab my working state (unpushed commits, stage, and local diffs) for certain git working trees and push the changes to a directory in Dropbox.

The scripts also do a periodic “git fetch origin” in a broader set of local git repositories, so I usually have up-to-date code locally even if I haven’t been keeping things synced manually.
I used to do this (using CVS, at the time), for keeping the configs and projects on my desktop and laptop in sync, as well as for having backups. Quick small notes:

* I split everything into topical modules, which were immediate subdirectories of the home directory, partly so the little laptop didn't have to install everything.

* There was a "config" directory that included most of the typical home directory dotfiles, as well as things like fonts. It had a small shell script in it, for keeping symlinks from the home dir up to date (e.g., "~/.bashrc" was a symlink to "config/bashrc".

* Not everything was in CVS. Photos, for example, were backed up separately.

* It was good to have my server Internet-accessible, since a few times I'd walk for an hour to work from my laptop, and realize I didn't have the latest version of my code.

* Nowadays I would probably use Git, only for the sake of standardizing, but the simple model of CVS was nice for this purpose. (I also knew many other fancier SCM systems, but intentionally went with a simple one.) Also, the repository was just in RCS format (files with reverse deltas of diffs), so, on rare occasions that I made an oops (like accidentally committed a huge file I didn't intend to), I could just SSH in and fix it manually.

* I had various servers for this over time, starting with my desktop, and then a PC in the closet, then a colo server, and then (my favorite) a small home RAID server I made from a fanless Atom board and Debian (which was effectively silent, running years 24/7 before I finally took it out of service, still working; one drive had to be replaced during that time, but was RAID mirrored).
