I also live in Brazil. Here the government builds entire neighborhoods of 10.000 to 30.000 houses (basic building, with two bedrooms, living room, bathroom and kitchen) and sells those houses for very cheap installments, sometimes even as low as 50 USD/month. There are some conditions to be met before buying such houses, but usually even people working in the worst types of jobs (say, bagging groceries or sweeping the streets) can meet them. These sorts of programs used to be more popular in the past (when we had a more left-leaning government), but just today I passed by 15.000 houses being built on a city of half a million inhabitants.
So what about specifically a vacant/unoccupied tax as opposed to an LVT? Some places in Canada are doing this to disincentivize ownership of vacant condos/properties.

User space doesn't generally deal well with time going backwards, but the main problem is that setting an absolute timeout in a program is broken when the target time is less than the current time. An example of this is 32-bit systemd, which just hangs at boot when the RTC points to a time after 2038, as it tries to figure out of timers work.

https://www.adelielinux.org/ is an example of a Linux distro built on musl-1.2, so you can use that beyond 2038 on 32-bit hardware.

Things I've learnt from Robert Cialdinis' book, Influence (2016)
You should try to configure your terminal to use UTF-8.

Symbols are universally used for quickly warning/informing in the real world and if done well, are very intuitive. Ignoring them in the digital world would be going against human UX (but no one ignores them, of course, even very old CLis already used them, but with the widespread use of UTF-8 and Emojis with that, it just became much easier and better).
Start from the beginning: learn everything you can about Pythagoras--he coined the term philosophy.

I learned recently that hr credited a woman for his philosophical doctrines, the Pythia of the oracle of Delphi. Nice.

The Pythagoreans conducted the first hypothesis driven scientific experiment: casting bronze chimes in numeric proportions (1:2, 2:3, etc), to test the pythagorean theory of harmony in the cosmos.
Except that it appears to have already been implemented in many places and it seems to work just fine. See the Wikipedia article on it.
I'm not sure what specific "functions" you're talking about, but Python generally encourages a procedural style of programming as opposed to functional. The rationale is that functional code can be really difficult to read if you aren't already familiar with the idioms and terminology, whereas it's pretty easy to mentally parse and understand a `for` loop. So in that sense, list comprehensions are about as far as Python goes in that direction; there is no syntactic equivalent to the pipe operator, and no way to write reduce or similar operations as succinctly as you can in functional languages.

Never split the difference : Chris Voss [0] &
Start with No : Jim Camp [1] opened my eyes to tactics used by sales/"business" folks when they negotiate with me and provided some tips which help me in my own negotiations. Case in point: A car dealer mentioned to me casually that a car whose MRP is AUD 38800 would never be discounted below 34000. I took it as a psychological "anchor" that had to be explored and negotiated rather than agreed upon without discussion. Started with a random figure of 32349 and ended up with getting the car for 33500 ( given that it was my first negotiation, I think it's a win :-) )

Influence by Cialdini is a timeless classic that helps me appreciate the fascinating world of human psychology

Yes. I don't really see how I was arguing in favor of UBI.
I'm not sure that LTV is a great idea. But if it is, why stop at land?

Take Google, for instance. Google owns some buildings on some land. But, in proportion to how valuable Google is, they don't own much land. What they own is a mountain of code, and multiple mountains of data. The single most valuable thing they own is the google.com domain. And out of all of that, we're going to tax... the land? Huh?

If all money came from land, then LTV would make sense. When it was devised, that was more or less true. But it's not the 1800s any more, and that is a long way from true today.

There's only been around 20,000 Covid deaths this year in the under 55 age group this year. The under 55 age group is 80% of the population.

Censorship is a conduit to ignorance and is more harmful than "misinformation". I suppose you believe there is some infallible authority which can sort the truth from lies, but this isn't true. The censored will legitimize any information conducive to it's own power. You're advocating the foundation of "thought crime", go away.

Amid remaining uncertainty, one immediate low-tech alternative is rain gardens built at road runoff zones. Stormwater pools there, seeping into the earth, which filters out harmful particles before they can reach natural waterbodies. The SFEI team is sampling several rain gardens around San Francisco.

I prefer the syntax of CL over Scheme, but the latter is definitely a wonderful language and goes hand in hand with the wizard book, SICP.

At the end of the day, language choice, much like choice of editors or mechanical keyboards, is not that important — what is important is actually coding and building useful software. This can be done in any language, although I do not want to sound ignorant, as certain languages are better suited for certain tasks (eg swift for iOS dev).

I would not sell my home at the assessed value. As I would have to move my family, get a new mortgage, and change jobs and schools potentially. I live in a fairly expensive area and a home that meets my requirements (no hoa, not a townhouse) is hard to find. I may have to fork out twice as much to get something that meets those requirements. I don't see that as a great reason why I should pay taxes more than my neighbors.

"for other philosophers (e.g. Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Hegel), telling someone to just "pick up one of their primary texts" is a disaster. It will either (a.) be complete gibberish to the reader without any context and they may just give up, or worse, (b.) they think they'll understand something without the proper context and spew nonsense in regards to that philosopher (this is why there are so many bad readings of Nietzsche)."

This is why you'll want to read those primary sources as part of a class, instead of just trying to go it alone.

But even that won't save you from "bad readings" of Nietzsche or any other philosopher, as plenty of experts disagree on what he meant. He, like some other philosophers, just wrote in a way that doesn't have one obvious meaning that everyone can agree on. With experience and study, you can make up your own mind, which will be better than swallowing some other person's pre-digested interpretation of him.

You might have an easier time understanding a secondary source's interpretation of Nietzsche, but that doesn't mean that you understand Nietzsche.
The secret barrister and its sequel, Fake Law, are just fantastic introductions to the British criminal (and civil to an extent) justice system and its current failings, and where improvements can be made. I’d recommend it to anyone, even outside the UK, as so many of its lessons are generally applicable. Further, to a US audience, it might shatter some ingrained beliefs that all justice systems are the same globally (driven largely by tv and movie narratives).

Does anyone at HN have pain from their job? Sitting? Even with expensive chairs, and standing desks?

I have been running 5-7km twice per week since May and I loved how it made me feel, but then comes the pain... lower back... hip flexors... hamstring tightness... Not from my runs but from my job.

This just really drags me down. I have been off the runs for 2 weeks as my hip hurts mid way through my run and this leads to breaking my new found enjoyment and after a few weeks, I will be lazy as I break my routine.

The only thing that would help would be a seat that is like sitting inside a cylinder that rotates from 0-45 degrees on a second by second basis throughout the working day so that no part of the body is strained.

Desks and computers don't work for me and I really worry about a day where I cannot stand due to pain or sit due to pain which naturally effects my output.

I am 38 and feel like no one else is suffering these problems.
You mean why shouldn't Facebook hire foreigners in America. One, their motives are because they want slaves that can't rat them out to illegal activites. Two, they "remit most of their paycheck out of the country. Three, if everyone had to travel to the other side of the planet to get a job, that would be fucking insane for everyone. Four, their managers are foreign gangsters who don't give a fuck about this country.

Facebook already has offices over there. Everywhere. They could hire tomorrow. They want slaves and slavery is what this shit is about.

This is how it works. Foreign manager bribes a US based VP and gets a inter-company transfer. Automatic L1 visa no questions ask. Then they start selling 200-500k jobs to people they know back in their home country. Those people pay a cut, maybe $50k maybe $150k to their trafficker in order to come to the US as a SDE away from their "shithole" country and make $50k.

They don't know what they are doing. Doesn't matter, SDE, manager, director, VP are all from the same country and are a fucking GANG

I forgot all about this, I used to listen all the time around 2007-2010 I was going to say that I don't know why I stopped listening, except that I stopped listening to podcasts all together. Though now that I think about it, its because I broke my sansa that had rockbox installed.

I'm glad to see its still going though. That's awesome.
Thank you! Fixed :)
Exactly, and it will be just as easy to use. Why bother with the "convenience" in the first place? Why was all the time wasted designing and producing the built-in stuff in the first place? Why make more stuff to maintain for no gain? When the built-in stuff breaks it will either get in the way or stop the thing from working all together. Why? Just why? There has been no sane answer given to that simple question since this smart tv thing started.
Metafilter is the one that comes immediately to mind. Their one-time $5 sign-up fee and long history of high standards keep out casual trolls and low-quality comments.
Since you seem to be a complete beginner on the philosophy subject, I’d suggest a beginner approach instead of an academic one. There is a podcast called Philosophy This! Try listening to it.
Yeah, I figure that's the curse of any community gaining traction. I expect to have to turn off comments at some point...if that fails I'll just restrict registrations.

In a worst-case scenario, I think the broader 100 Million Books project would still benefit from me and/or a couple of collaborators posting to it alone.
Clojure doesn't actually use invokedynamic from what I know.
There is an idea out there that it is always easier to destroy than it is to create or maintain order. As technology progresses, the power to destroy, create, or maintain increases, but do they increase at the same rate? It very well may be that the power to destroy has vastly outgrown are ability to create or maintain. Case in point, our nuclear bombs could kill most of us within the hour, yet science is barely learning how to stop the great killer, aging. Will we get to a point where any individual can order a few parts and kill millions? It seems inevitable if we continue along our current trajectory.

> The tax administration evaluates the property's value (both land and infrastructure)

That's not what the article is proposing; it specifies a tax only on the land, not on whatever is built on the land. The point is to incentivize transferring ownership of the land to whoever can get the highest value use out of it; that only works if the tax itself is only on the land, so it makes sense to build higher value infrastructure on it since that raises the income from the land without raising the tax.
I came across an interesting factoid on Lex Fridman's interview with Andrew Huberman - of the 'fight, flight, freeze' trifecta, freeze is actually associated with the lowest level of anxiety. Fight - or any action that involves moving towards the stressor - is associated with the highest level of anxiety, though it also causes massive dopamine releases when the result is positive.

So thin-skinned narcissists that aggressively climb status hierarchies are probably much more anxious than yourself. I don't have an opinion on what you should do with that information, but I think it's interesting.
Yeah. The pre-DoH world was good for both. I could say its all filtered for the kids on the locked down machines and the adults who knew something about technology could get on with their lives. Now, we are entering a world where we are going to end up locking down everyone. Good job.

I'm damn sure once I have to do the trusted CA path that someone is going to sell a deep packet inspection solution and present it at some conference where someone in charge will hear about it and then it will be off to the races.
I disagree, there are objective facts. Someone who believes the earth is flat and is presented with objective information is not presenting something subject to much interpretation.

Look, we're talking a huge number of Americans who believe there was widespread election fraud of millions of votes. Who believe COVID is a conspiracy, to hurt their favored candidate, and that hospitals are false reporting cases as COVID for money. We have people with objectively false believes about vaccines, contradicted not just by available studies, but having their premises themselves contradicted (e.g. beliefs about mercury content, believes about the way the immune system works, beliefs about the economics of the vaccine business, all demonstrably false).

Do you think it is unreasonable for someone who believes smoking massively increases risks of lung cancer and other health problems, to not expect a smoker who denies the harm that smoking causes to update their beliefs in view of this?

The "priors" you speak of are really addiction, and a cognitive dissonance, for the most part.
I don't know that it's outright illegal. But manipulating the price of a token for your own gain, at someone else's expense, is illicit imo.

If I know how an oracle calculates a price for a pair, I can probably alter the oracle's value for it (with a lot of volume from your flash loan), without affecting other exchanges value for it.

Misery is very, very much out there. Loves company as well. Having a few million dollars would only fix 1/3 of my problems I suppose. Money would definitely put me on the right path to being able to possibly get better, but some medical conditions you get for no damn reason are hard to manage with even the best of the doctors within the U.S., and some people with said medical problems don't even have parents who give the slightest fuck about them.
