Interesting. For those unaware, this is essentially an asthma medicine. I only know because I have to get it for other reasons, and when doctors see that they always ask if I'm asthmatic.

Being involved in timber management (owning non industrial timberland in California), the rules themselves (as stated) often exclude/disadvantage larger producers in many ways (including taxation).

The way they help larger producers and produce a rather toxic effect in many ways is with their complexity. In theory on paper, they often help small producers with carve outs, however the the record keeping, paperwork, and compliance processes are so onerous that anyone who isn’t a professional getting paid to figure it out is going to run screaming in the other direction - even if it is literally free money (grants).

Hiring help and doing mountains of paperwork is expensive. If you’re a large producer the economies of scale make it a small line item, and if it is your primary business then it’s a business expense like doing your taxes that is a full write off. If you’re some poor sap that inherited some timberland and are trying to not have it burn down or get double taxed while maintaining it? Good luck.

In the middle of historic fire season, a grant from CalFire has taken me 3 years of paperwork to get approved and ground work ready to start to reduce fuel loads in high risk fire area of no other interest or complication, and with professional help. Your average person has zero chance.

The more complicated the rules are, the more the only people who can comply/get approved will be big corps.

Exactly right. I'm a Delawarean, and in my former career as a journalist I wrote about this phenomenon. It's all about the courts. It is a risk mitigation strategy for businesses. Having extensive, well-defined case law makes things more predictable.
This isn't a problem of "big money", but a failure of government. They reduced taxes and, shocking(!), that led to lower tax revenues.

> Oregon lowered taxes and maintained weaker environmental protections on private forestlands than neighboring states in exchange for jobs and economic investment from the timber industry.

> Despite such concessions, the country’s top lumber-producing state has fewer forest-sector jobs per acre and collects a smaller share of logging profits than Washington or California.

> If Oregon taxed timber owners the same as its neighbors, which are also top lumber producers with many of the same companies, it would generate tens of millions of dollars more for local governments.
This is a very small niche meme, and most of the "money printers go brrr" stuff is meme-ing post March 2020, when people didn't understand why the markets didn't go down.

Yes, there's probably a major element of that giving me this impression. However, we have a lot of surviving Roman structures compared to Celtic or Germanic structures, for example.

3D reconstructions of ancient Rome show a city that relies heavily on stone, concrete and marble in its construction:

The US cities with the best transit have poor transit by world measures. Sure, most people don't live in the city centers, they live in the suburbs. But for much of Europe, suburbia means easy access to high frequency regional rail transit systems that gives you easy 45-60 minute access to city center at all times of the day. Even in the US, where I've lived in cities that had what the US thinks is good transit, getting to an intercity rail station has often been as easy, if not easier, than getting to the airport, even though I'm originating in the suburbs.
> Dragging a window over from a full desktop monitor to the phone was exciting to watch.

Slightly related, there's a nice tool called x2x which combines two X displays on different machines, so moving the cursor off the side of one makes it appear on the other (AFAIK it works using a 1-pixel-wide window at the screen edge).

I used this to control my OpenMoko with keyboard and mouse (over SSH), in lieu of an external screen/'dock' like the article shows.

> But since it's just a standard linux distro on the phone, it probably wouldn't be too hard to set up the Librem to automatically pull the latest build from the desktop/laptop for testing purposes.

It's probably easiest to just SSH into the phone as needed, and use scp/rsync/sshfs/etc. to copy things across. If nothing else, it avoids the horrors of having to type commands via a touchscreen.
When you need to partition a field using crude tools, there is nothing "easily" done with decimals. Integers are far easier to work with and measure out. This is simply proven by the most basic outdoor experience, which I suppose you don't have.

Being able to divide by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 is not a "few cases", it's the chief part of the small integers into which stuff often needs to be divided evenly.

If you ever went to the market before decimalisation, you would meet many who write prices in fractions. Something would be priced at X pounds/crowns/marks per Y items/weights. Then, the cost of Z units/weights is XZ/Y. When the coins are highly divisible multiples of each other, you have a lot of choices to be able to pay the exact amount and don't have to bother with getting change back. Even better if we price by the dozens (Y = 12) instead of 10s: 12 has twice as many factors than 10.

I understand that this all requires a certain numeracy however. Thankfully nowadays we can just buy things using their credit cards on Amazon: makes mindless consumption much easier.
That makes it more clear - the A B C explanation is too simplistic.
The problem isn’t simple.

To take one example: Banning racists requires that you have a clear, well-understood but also nuanced view about what is incitement, dog-whistle, free speech, etc. Having large teams enforce those require that everyone in those teams understand those rules and apply them fairly. In those divided times, I challenge you to find anyone able to articulate the agenda both the American Left and the American Right coherently. So you can have multiple people review, but will you get a decision without a process that most people will find deeply wrong?

In addition, they have to be international which opens even bigger cans of worms. Casey Newton has great reporting on the centres that handle those; I strongly recommend you read those — with the provision that you realise Facebook doesn’t manage those centres, they are contractors, so Facebook also has to make complicated decisions about how to insure those centres are not abusing their staff, performance is properly rewarded, etc. without overstepping. You can imagine, say, gender relations among a group of people who speak certain languages ::cough::indi ::cough::. Now find me Burmese-speaking people who think that the rules about human-rights also apply to Rohingya. Or how to realise that your team dealing with gender-related issues is managed by TERFs? How do you manage for all of those if you’ve never heard of Abkhazia, how language and castes interlace in India, the religious dimension of the conflict in Somaliland, common forms of gaslighting about ethnic relations in China?
The goal is not for you to know it all, but how do you set-up processes to not be blind to the fact that the prejudice is already in your (contractor’s) house?

Also, on occasion, those rules have to be legally enforceable. Say you have a friend who lives in Turkey, or in Germany, it is legal for you to comment on their post saying that Ataturk was a little bitch, or that Hitler was a great man? Well, it might not legal for them to read it… So do you hide? Do you add a message to say that you hid something?

What is simple is that engaging with shoot-from-the-hip, Facebook-is-bad comments will never end up in a better place.

Work out the fuel costs per passenger mile and that’s a subsidized ticket. Now, airlines often have a surplus of seats on a route and will sell some of them at a nominal loss over flying empty seats, but they couldn’t operate the route if everyone was paying that.

Corporate tax havens, income tax havens, property tax havens, sadles tax havens are all part of the one side of this system. On the opposite side you have over serviced areas, daily door to door mail delivery, public transit, universal health care all available in over taxed havens.

The federated nature of united states allows each state to set different tax rates / service levels. These states compete with each other to attract people / capital.

The nature of how the system works means tax havens are not parasites. They are part of an ecosystem system that competes. The freedom to make those changes is what makes them successful over a system who would limit that.

On the country level its more extreme with currency havens.

> One issue with France is that their train system is very Paris-centric.

I mean it's not just the rail network; it's _all_ of France. Some of that is unsurprising given a 1/5th of the population live in Paris and the surrounding area. A significant amount of business travel from outside of Paris resultantly ends up being to Paris.

There's definitely an argument that investing in infrastructure that isn't centred on Paris may help change how Paris-centric the country generally is, but that's a much harder sell politically.

(And something like Bordeaux to Lyon needs to cross the Massif Central, which will significantly increase the cost of construction, which potentially makes it even less likely to happen.)
I was replying to the above comment's reference to connections. It is fairly easy to fly into Paris and take a train to Lyon, for example, without having to go into Paris proper first.
Point-to-point travel is much faster and more efficient with planes than with trains.
"Honest politician[s]"...... ummm here in the US, there is no such thing. Every single politician is stinking dirty in some way, it may not be seen, but the smell can not be denied.

Wow, that was rude.

For the record, I know how to get her plastic. There's literally one store right now where this is an issue for her, and I'm not going to jump through any hoops at all (like continuing to pay the monthly fee for a FamZoo card or switch banks) just to accommodate that store.

And said "crappy bank" is a well-known investment bank. Supporting minor accounts isn't profitable for them.

That's just another way of saying 0 collateral.

> In the proposed equity arrangement I owe a percentage of my income. If I don’t make anything, I don’t owe anything

I agree the calculation is different, but I doubt there is a lender that isn't going to demand the return of their principal at the least.

Depending on the enforceability of such a contract (questionable and depends on the legal teeth they have in the respective jurisdictions) and the likelihood of default, it would significantly alter the risk profile.
The US is pretty exceptional in its lack of rails. There is also a Seattle-San Diego. Enjoyable as a tourist, but probably not suited for business purposes except in the last portions.

In France some high speed trains go now directly to airports (CDG,LYO). So it is becoming possible to chain a plane and a train in a few scenarios.

I think this entire idea is insane, but that's not the argument.

>Many of the situations required in this article still require real-world contracts to make them work. The crypto tokens are additive on top of the contracts, but they don't replace contracts.

There is no duality of 'real-world contract'/'digital contracts'. The question is if a digital document and signatures are accepted by a judicial system. In 50 years every judicial system will accept some format of digital contracts.

The potential upside of 'tokenized' and standardized/automated legal documents are: less ambiguous interpretations, automatic resolution, simpler trading, and easier cross-border contracts ( to some extent ).

All of this is possible by human hands, but legal systems are not known for their digital innovation. ( They don't even use standard 'diffs' to negotiate contracts )

So real estate has a number of problems:

1. It's clearly used for money laundering and hiding money from hostile governments. In Europe, this is a huge factor in the London real estate market.

2. Cities die when people can't afford to live in them. This is exacerbated by restricting supply to simply park money. Often the ultra-wealthy buy a place where they'll spend 3 days a year because they like that place (eg NYC). In doing so, they're contributing to making that place worse. This behaviour should have a cost;

3. There are cities around the world that have pockets that are essentially vacant because of (2). Condos in Manhattan have a notoriously low occupancy rate. I've heard Tel Aviv has this issue as well. There are many others;

4. In many places it's more profitable tp produce (unoccupied) ultra-luxury property. A lot of the building in NYC is north of $4000/square foot. That's... insane.

5. Property taxes in NYC, as one example, are highly regressive. a $1m condo may have property tax of $1200/month. A $100m apartment may only incur $16k/month in property tax. The counterargument is that the more expensive apartment uses just as many services. Personally I think subsidizing ultra-luxury property is just bad.

Some jurisdictions (eg Vancouver) have tried to punitively tax "non-working" real estate, which is to say real estate that sits vacant. I don't think this has had much impact and it's probably really easy to game (eg rent it out to a family member notionally).

My philosophy is that:

1. Ultra-luxury properties are generally speaking bad for a city. They take up a disproportionate amount of space and tend to add nothing to the city. It's fine that they exist but we shouldn't be subsidizing their construction and continued existence;

2. Providing rental units for people who live in the city is a better use of capital than parking foreign money. As such, both parking money and foreign investment should be taxed at a higher rate. Local landlords are better than remote landlords (since those local landlords are part of the city).

Personally I think that if you own property in NYC, for example, then the state and city of New York gets to tax your income as if you were a resident. LLCs to hold property are the obvious dodge so these need to be taxed punitively.
