The idea of LVT is that it replaces some of your
taxes. So you're paying the same as you would on a mortgage (except it would be less, because land use would be more efficient) but saving on what used to be your tax bill. And, sure, you can't really "pay it off" but that's true of any tax. This would also shift quite a bit of savings towards more productive endeavors than opportunistically betting on the future appreciation of some piece of real estate.
Yes, this is exactly the challenge. It extends far beyond just ad-targeting. On the database side, social network sharding, replication, and caching schemes aren't typically designed based on national origin of users.

If you have a full datacenter (i.e. containing databases, not just a frontend or CDN / PoP footprint) in a country, then typically the entire logical data set -- all data for all users worldwide -- is presumably replicated there. Other systems and services will then make assumptions that any object can be looked up with low sub-ms latency.

Social networks often contain activity streams and other pages that include content from many users at once. Consider algorithmic ranking of feed content, comments on popular page content, etc: how do you even implement this if even some small subset of the data needs to be fetched from halfway around the world on every page view?

Anyway, to answer your original question, friendships are bidirectional associations and would typically be stored in two places: one entry in your db shard, and one entry in your friend's shard. Photos are objects and presumably would be "owned" by a single user or page and located there (at least in terms of the metadata about the photo); however tags may be associations which have entries on multiple shards just like friendships. If some of these shards can only be accessed across a trans-Atlantic link, the entire scheme falls apart due to the latency.
Yes, you can use your savings. Savings are income. The only reason for savings is to consume in the future. Believing that you should have permanent savings that can't be used for consumption is just out of this world...I would speak to someone who has no money. The welfare state exists for people who need help, not those who wish the state to keep them in a luxury to which they have become accustomed.

EDIT: most benefits pay out £4-5k/year, saying £18k is "peanuts" is...a little sickening...it is a monumental amount of money to people on benefits. I would talking to someone who is homeless and tell them that £18k is "peanuts" to you. What an utterly middle-class/greedy sentiment.

> Making less by working means they are essentially paying someone to work.

Note that this is one of the benefits of the UBI. As it is universal, if you get a job you will keep getting your UBI. So there will never be a time where this occurs if we switch. Work would always be incentivized.

> at best, society can keep them alive and provide the minimal, necessary sustenance for survival

There is no constraint on a society enforcing this level of support as an upper bound. A society can dedicate as much or as little of its resources as it chooses to supporting those unable to support themselves, each possible amount having a different set of consequences.

We can't predict shit like whether is gonna be sunny tomorrow, truth is the consequences of climate change are unknown, as the earth is a terribly complex system.

Just like Covid, economics, politics... my only prediction is that most predictions will sound stupid after we start feeling the effects of climate change (for good or bad reasons, who knows).

My personal philosophy is not to mess with complex systems if that can have fatal consequences, but I guess we are way past this point.
Simon Singh has a YouTube video on Fermat's last theorem that is a masterpiece of mathematical communication. As someone who is an engineer with a bit of math education (lots of calculus, linear algebra...etc), and who likes applying math, but does not intuitively get it at all to understand what mathematicians talk about, I found he communicated it to where I got the concepts and he fuzed it with the history in a splendid fashion. Great stuff.
outsider here, but I suspect the time and effort is put into controlling your debt and in-fighting among senior people; anything in operations is "blue collar" plus many leaders are older alcoholics who do not learn well by that stage of their career. They are not dumb, but something outside of their experience may never be questioned, or easily glossed over. They have people coming at them who want to sell legal or business services that will say anything the decision maker wants to hear, including actually wrong details, to close a contract and get paid.

I will add to this comment that I am very, very concerned that incidents like this lead to changing the rules on communications for hundreds of millions of people. Why do others pay for your mistakes in guarding your wealth for yourself?

Over a 10 year span of teaching the same material, what percentage of time is spent on those high-skill activities?

I agree teachers are under-valued (both of my parents did that as a career), but a lot of the minutes of activity required when working as a teacher seem more aligned with the skills needed for baby-sitting than instruction.

I don’t know if it’s 85%, but from my experience in public school and observing/listening to my parents, it seems like it’s over half.
Not only that, but the project director of the friggin Saturn V - Arthur Rudolph - was forced to rescind his US citizenship or face charges for war crimes because he had managed a factory during the war - Mittelwerk - that killed more forced labourers by building the V-2 than died in the V-2 bombings (20,000 vs 9,000 V-2 casualties).

Yeah I was thinking to myself, people in Europe get 5+ weeks off per year so if my employer is saying unlimited then I would be crazy to not take at least that much time off. Then again maybe this guy just loves working but I definitely prefer being paid to not work.
You make it sound like there’s an ideological 50/50 ratio in US media. This isn’t even close to the truth. The ratio is likely closer to 90/10, if not worse.

Simple example: A huge portion of the US population has no clue of the tragedy unfolding at the US/Mexico border.

Why?

Because the media is actively suppressing coverage. If they don’t talk about it, it doesn’t exist. Out of all the reporters in the White House briefing room, only one asks questions about this, and the answers are a study in political avoidance.

Did you know kids are being found dead on a regular basis? Drowned, dehydrated in the desert, etc. And, of course, girls are being molested, abused, raped and trafficked.

No, this didn’t come from Fox News. We watch the Hispanic new networks every morning. They are reporting some of this on a daily basis. Just a couple of days ago they found four little girls in the desert, one if them thought dead and later survived.

These events alone should be reason for mass demonstrations against the abject incompetence and callousness of current border policies. And yet, because of the overwhelming alignment of the media with the current ideological bend, the death and suffering continues.

Had this happened during the last four years you would have 24/7 coverage of the carnage, including live helicopter video of dead kids in the desert.

That’s how bad it is. This is precisely what the quoted portion of Solzhenitsyn‘s speech was referring to.

I understand his frustration. Having come from a place where military rule controlled it all, it is disheartening to see the US in the grips of ideology through a less centralized mechanism. This society is supposed to be “free” and yet people are afraid to speak up because their lives or livelihoods are at very real risk. This is sad to watch.
You are agreeing with the OP, you know. "somehow prevented" = we put dumb regulations in the way or the entire process of lithium extraction can't be made profitable.
What is this whitewashing? The Soviet Union never stopped assassinating people, and the practice clearly continued into present day Russia. Boris Yeltsin was one whim away from being assassinated in 1991 on orders from the KGB; the only reason it didn't happen is because the Alfa group commanders decided not to be bloodthirsty that day.
I think you should include “thoughts” (as it says in the forum post) in the title or in some way disclose that this is just a design/planning/brainstorming session for Nim 2.0 and not actually a major new release.
Blocked Shower
Blocked Shower
Blocked shower is caused by various reasons. Fortunately, we possess all the tools and qualified staff to make small change of a blocked shower. No matter how badly your shower is blocked. We can take care of it for you. Let’s just spend a bit of time analyzing the dangers a blocked shower. It may hold benefits for you and your loved ones.
Dangers Of A Blocked Shower
The dangers of a blocked shower are numerous and we will briefly delve into the dangers. Considering it as a broad overview. In a brief discussion looking at a blocked shower, we can look at unwanted bacteria and parasites brewing in the shower. While the shower starts to back up by draining slower and slower. We find more and more parasites and bacteria exposed to the shower floor. Most people will not consider that this is potentially dangerous. However, these bacteria colonies forming on the floor are seldomly removed by using disinfectant after every shower. The fact that the water with exfoliation is left on the shower floor could pose a danger to your health.

> This would be disastrous for our house, we have a large wooded plot, it would presumably be heavily taxed beyond our means to pay.

A house with a "large wooded plot" is likely in a rural fringe area where pure land values are extremely low. LVT will mostly be borne by highly-productive urban centers that can easily afford it.
+1 for declarative syntax. Diagrams-as-code is great, but diagramming in a programming language (e.g. Python) is... weird.
Although there's much we likely agree on (as you can see downthread), I downvoted this comment due to your use of "Democrat party" as an epithet. I think there's room for substantive conversations about these policies that cross partisan boundaries, but epithets are going to work against that. Even if you mean "Democratic politicians" and not "Democratic voters," that's not necessarily how Democratic voters are going to interpret it, and you're reducing the chance of communicating effectively across party lines.

Related: I think many Democratic voters would be highly receptive to discussions about how policies they might support or that they haven't thought much about contribute to structural racism and class inequality. I'm one such example (registered Democrat and typically vote Democratic, but I've been reading a lot about the effect of these policies lately), and I've had such a discussion very recently within my friend group. It's not a message that's lost on us. Just don't present it as a partisan battle against the people you're talking to, because you will get tuned out quickly if you do that.
This comment is very biased, who are you to speak for all facebook users?

For one thing, Facebook allows me to stay connected with my family in another country. I'm infinity grateful to it for that, and I'm ready to exchange getting this amazing free service for my very personal information. No one stole this data from me, I'm happy with this arrangement.

Same with other the services: Google's, amazon, and what not... Hell, the progress all these amazing services brought made my live on earth a heaven really (not sarcastic)!

I'm personaly not afraid of big tech, imho they compete with each other, they rise and fall, let them be. I'm afraid of regulation that incentivizes lobbying, kill competition, and create long term monopolies.
Name one where it doesn't work.
UBI is supposed to be universal. Under UBI the choice would be get the 'free money' and also work or just get the 'free money'. Under unemployment insurance, you generally can't keep getting benefits when you are working, so it's not the same choice.

This is a challenge with a lot of benefits programs; the change in income often doesn't seem to justify the change in labor. If you get the same UBI payment regardless of if you're working or not, the disincentive to work, because it ends your benefit isn't there; of course, the disincentive to work, because working is work is still there.

This works up util a point.

If the code is owned by 4-30 people, its good.

If the code is owned by 120 people, then it takes way to long to tell what the quality standard is.

The challenge is how to get work done without spending 60 hours a week pointing out or solving code quality problems. To overcome this challenge requires accepting some standard of crappy code.
France relies on German gas and coal to stabilize their grid. You cannot power down or up a nuclear plant quickly and in the summer some rivers get too hot for cooling unless you want to kill all wildlife in it.

Germany is also importing a lot of nuclear power from France.

I'm not saying that Germany is in a better position than France but France couldn't live off of pure nuclear either. Both countries need each other (plus the rest of the European grids) to support their local grids. France is delivering a lot of the baseline power and Germany can help out in times of shortages and overproduction.
The highest probability model (intermediate) shows 3.7 feet of rise by 2100 which again really only affects the beach area, if you look at intermediate high (lower probability of corresponding to reality) scenario it starts to hit at some of the areas around the miami river, but again this is far cry from miami being definitively underwater and does not account for riverwalls, floodwalls that are being planned and installed.
Agreed that low skill labor wages have stagnated due to an oversupply of cheap labor and minimum wage lagging inflation...

But, regardless people are opting to stay home with government benefits over slightly better earnings via work. So they are okay with having less money if it means doing nothing.

If you were the last available programmer in Silicon Valley, maybe. But that doesn't seem likely.
Agreed - I built a rust frontend framework, and tried to use it on the backend for a while. Ended up switching back to Python and Javascript for web - I use rust for embedded mostly now.
As with most places, our municipal recycling system just throws away most of what it receives (but that looks like it is changing soon-ish, maybe). My wife really virtue signals by wanting to recycle everything, and gets annoyed if I throw something that is "recyclable". I just tell her that recycling deprive the future waste miners of their livelihood :)

I joke, but I do believe there will be "waste miners" at some point in the future.

Don't listen to the downvoters dude. If we are going to have WW3, it should be to prevent dystopian hegemonic communist china. It'll suck dying in nuclear holocaust but it'll feel good in those last moments knowing that we prevented something worse. Sometimes life isn't worth living anymore, and hegemonic eternal china is an example of value to life going below zero...
You've mentioned the printing issue a couple of times in this thread, and it sounds pretty weird to me as a someone who has used Rust for a couple of years. Without knowing the specifics I can only assure you that if you know the basics of the language, you'll have no issues printing whatever you want whenever you want.

Rust is admittedly a language you can't just jump into without spending some time learning the fundamentals. If you try to do anything non-trivial without grokking the basics of ownership and borrowing you are bound to run into frustrating issues.

Exactly. I don’t proceed to a second conversation without making it clear that I’m not coming cheaply and, if they’re not aligned with that, we can both save a lot of time by politely ending the conversation now.

Sometimes that takes the shape of describing my current comp in detail; other times it’s more “it starts with a <digit>” when I’m pretty sure they’re off by more than one.

Matter cannot be created nor destroyed. And elemental conversion is a big deal - usually involving nuclear fission or fusion.

Batteries do become depleted but the lithium never disappears, I guess simply put a reverse potential is no longer able to reverse the battery equation back to the energy storing state. Presumably because there is some third reservoir state that a potential cannot reverse (without delving into the chemistry).

Don't be mistaken into thinking that because a charger cannot reverse the battery reaction that the lithium itself is gone, or that there does not exist some completely unrelated process that can recover the lithium - separate from the immediate battery ecosystem
Also I think the Soviets realized the shuttle was a badly designed and expensive frankenvehicle that did not fit any mission profile particularly well.
I have the opposite problem with rust dependency management, its too easy so you get deep widely branching dependency trees by differing authors with differing licenses. From a corporate use perspective this is a legal nightmare. From a security standpoint, this is a trust nightmare.
It's not wealth destruction, it's deflating paper wealth that's held at the expense of one's surrounding community. Your built structure will still be as valuable as it was, and quite possibly more.
Those are informal opinions and carry no legal weight.
Lithium is lithium. Idk anything about lithium batteries, but presuming they use some kind if lithium salt compound or something, it's going to be a hell of a lot easier to re-saltify it or otherwise rebuild the useful compound, than it is to try and recreate big bang conditions to make more lithium.
Potentially unpopular opinion, please go easy on me, I'm a python lover:

I find a lot of Nim syntax just unnecessarily noisy. I wish that it had stuck much closer to Python syntax.

I'm really excited about Nim, don't get me wrong. I like Araq, he's got a real hacker spirit not oft found at the head of big projects.

Anyhow. I'm sure the experts in that topic will sort it all out. ORC is wildly impressive all around.

I believe, in the context of this proposed ban "Europe" means "the EU", not geographical Europe. So both Russia and Turkey don't count.
But if it's replacing my taxes then it can't be used to fund a UBI.

I guess I could be open to such a tax but only if I thought I would be able to sell my home before the massive price deflation. It seems like implementation of such a tax would have huge negative economic implications in the short term. Imagine taking out a mortgage on a property, then LVT is implemented and now your home is only worth 50% or less of what it was before. Now you suddenly owe twice the value of the house to the bank.
Hmm. I'm of two minds about this.

Vanguard restricts (or used to) trusted keys to those made by Yubico. This annoys me, given they let me use any phone number. So this suggests (as you seem to be arguing) that attestation is an attractive nuisance—when you can't tell whether a phone number is with a trustworthy or untrustworthy exchange, teleco, or VOIP service, you just have no choice but to trust it. But when you can enforce attestation, some Vanguard employee with a Yubico Certified Security Engineer certificate (I made that up) decides to restrict us to Yubico's keys.

On the other hand, FIDO aims to also support enterprise usage, and I think it'd be a nonstarter to say that enterprises shouldn't be able to restrict you to officially issued authenticators—and without remote attestation, they'd have to do more cumbersome steps like handling enrollment centrally (and then shipping enrolled authenticators to users), which, in a distributed workforce, sucks.

So attestation fills a need, and I think we just have to hope it's not widely used or abused.

Is Cloudflare's usage an abuse? Eh, I don't know. It's an interesting experiment.
Lithium is an element how can it be deleted?

If Lithium is chemically changed what prevents it being chemically changed back?

Batteries are sealed, if material does not leave than all the components used to make it are still inside the battery.
Yes, there is a lot - A few options are

* Heroku -> Best choice for backend dev;

* Vercel -> Best choice for React/ NextJS dev;

* Digital Ocean -> Best for all small product;

* Netlify -> Best for Jamstack;

* Github -> Best choice for Portfolio of Dev.

Is it known what are, perhaps narrow, the climate conditions for humans? Humans evolved during the Pliocene which was 2-3 degrees warmer than today.

My gut feeling is not good, especially on geologic time, of which most spans humans would most certainly not survive. It feels like we are tossing 100s of thousands of years of stable climate and pushing Earth to points in its history were fauna/flora were very different from today.
