The implementation of a land value tax is the most significant barrier to widespread adoption. There is no objectively fair way to separate the value of the land from the value of the improvements, thus someone has to decide what the land is worth.

Many UK ISPs have "adult content" filters, which tend to be wide-reaching and block a lot more than just porn sites. But these are optional and can be turned off very easily.

There's a smaller set of non-optional blocks (pirate/torrent sites) which you need a VPN to get around.
> but in fact if your property went up by 200% for building a complex it would in fact be extraordinary

It's not, at least in the us. In the past nine years, my house went from a real-world value of ~$90k (2012), to now being worth ~$240k (2021), despite wages being mostly flat. This is not uncommon, most homes in this or any nearby city have posted somewhat similar gains (plus or minus 10%). This property specifically, recorded it's highest jump ($40k over a single year) in the year after they built luxury apartments in the lot directly behind it.

And that's not a NYC / SF / Chicago / Seattle / Austin type hip place. It's just generic small-city Midwest nowheresville. A place with no restrictions on housing construction whatsoever, and has entire neighborhoods of new development in the past decade to prove it.

> If your 200k house for example went up to 600k you could in fact sell it and have a money fight with hundreds of thousands of dollars of real profit in your new living room

You are not getting it. No, I literally can not do that. If my house went from 200k to 600k, then every other house has also gone up a similar amount. If I sell my house to cash out, my family is homeless, I don't have a "new living room". And if I want a "new living room" to live in, I have to give every single dollar of that 600k back, for some new property at similar high prices. It's not real money, it's debt that I happen to be holding in my hands in paper form, and the future occupant of my house is now on the hook for.

Californians simply can not seem to wrap their head around this. They just assume the money is real, because "move to the south or the midwest" is always an option for them, so they can cash out and keep a bunch of it. Some of us already live in these places, and don't have a magic "high quality housing at cheaper-than-my-home-market rate" place to escape to.

> justify constraining housing supply

Literally no one is arguing to constrain housing supply. Blocking a shitty luxury development never constrains housing, it frees it to be used for real housing.

Fighting against Poisoned Milk sales is not "justifying constraining milk supplies". Fighting against cost-raising developments for private equity firms is not in any way "justifying less housing". You can want more housing and not want everyone's rent to spike, these are not in conflict in any way.
So, I wasn’t a first time home buyer and didn’t hand holding. What I did need was an argent which was actually working for me, not just trying to close at all costs.

I think in situations where the property doesn’t have any issues, where you’re just going in to buy a place, they can work out fine. Unfortunately you have no idea what kind of place you’re looking at until you’re trying to buy it.

Every worthwhile agent will have a ton of useful information before and after you purchase.
They did not just draw a line; they gerrymandered a line so Netflix would not leave App Store and Apple would not lose its income from smaller players while pretending it is a fair line in the sand. Even Marco Arment has commented on the ridiculousness of the complexity of the line. I highly recommend reading the link below.

All Gmail does (or ever did) is proxy the image file so the server hosting it cannot do reverse IP lookup to collect client metadata like geolocation. The server hosting the image sees a Google IP address request the image, not (for example) your phone’s IP address.

But the image request still happens at the time you open the email. Google does not prefetch the images in unopened emails.

And if the image URL is personalized, it can still be correlated with your email address by the sender to record an open. Google does not try to guess which part of the URL they can dump without breaking the image.

The antitrust case against Apple is so overdue it's embarrassing.

What I don't get is people who defend it. Imagine Microsoft taking 30% of every purchase you make online because you used their OS to get there. Then would the defenders admit it's an obvious abuse of a monopoly? What makes it different for Apple?
In general, email clients are really, really, really dumb. Everything gets loaded at once. So unless it was an HTML attribute that was available in the 90s, it's better to assume the magic is happening server side.

Unless you're referencing the California instances in which Prop 13 protects homeowners from increases of more than 2%, I'm not sure what you mean. Nationwide property taxes increase over 5% YoY, while general inflation was far less [0]

Apple is a mega-monopoly that has captured 50% of Americans that use computers, and then installed taxation in front of all of it.

Businesses can't business anymore. It is beyond unhealthy for startups.

It's all a scam. All a ruse. And we're all victims.

Computing was never like this before Steve Jobs decided to ban literally everything and force people to live within his death star.

I can't believe how many folks within our industry are fine with this! You owe your career to free and open computing. As does Apple. They've just managed to gaslight us for so long that we're apologizing for the horrible things they do.

Break up Apple or allow people to install directly from the web. Don't let Apple enforce their payment rails.

They have enough goddamned money.

I think Zuckerberg was right when he said Apple’s practices have ultimately benefited Facebook in eliminating any competition.
"Humans can observe what and where something happens around them with their hearing, as long as sound frequencies lie between 20 Hz and 20 000 Hz."

I wish. This might be true if you are very young, but deteriorates rather fast.

In a related vein, I was curious whether this would be something miraculous that made humans hear the actual frequencies over 20kHz somehow, but it's of course the much more likely interpretation: High frequencies are aliased down into lower frequencies where you can then hear them normally.

Still seems to have cool applications, and if I understand correctly, it's going through great length to make the sounds still intuitively localizable, which must make for a neat experience.
Apple doesn't have a monopoly on any market.
They only know when google fetches the image, which can be any time between you receiving it and opening it. I highly doubt it's on the fly right when you open it.
never had that happen before. as we speak, the app is running at 1% of a core and 100mb ram. id imagine that whatever apple implements uses some sort of protocol that wouldn't be free in terms of resources either.

I had a mentor at GE who loved this line, and her big point was less about the excitement and more about engaging and living in the moment. When we make a strong split between work and life, we tend to just check out and coast, to not engage and be present during work because you feel like it doesn't matter. Her big push was that it's all life. Work is a big portion of your time, so if you ignore it you're missing a huge portion of what finite time you have. Hearing it that way made a huge impact on me.
With a workout analogy, it's the difference between exercise and a planned workout. With exercise, there's not much plan or engagement; you might run or lift a few weights absent-mindedly. By engaging with it, you can get much more out of your effort, planning to workout different muscle groups or help increase endurance.

People look for analogies to the App Store all the time. You can't compare App Store to anything else. You have a logical argument that frames two companies doing the same thing and pointing out the hypocrisy without taking into account their market shares, value provided for their fees or considered the fact that Apple developers target people that already paid for a device and the developer already pays fees to release apps via the App Store.

I think what developers want is a fair price for what they get out of the App Store and a choice to not use it if they want. Selling a $5 digital good or a $100 dollar digital good costs the exact same to Apple (minus the 2% credit card fee).

While implementing and scaling data analysis pipelines at a biotech startup, I spent most of my time getting new tools running efficiently and scaling them. Implementing something like Kraken2 for genomic analysis (https://github.com/DerrickWood/kraken2) on our infrastructure took weeks and was hard to scale. I expected a library for running these tools on managed infrastructure via an API to exist – like Twilio for sending text messages or Stripe for processing payments – but I couldn't find any.

Toolchest is an API for running data analysis tools easily (i.e. copy and paste a few lines of code), without managing the infrastructure. We're starting with computational genomics tools, but tools in other spaces can be added. Please drop me a message if you have a use case in mind! For example, I've thought about making hashcat powered by Tesla V100 GPUs accessible via our API.

All feedback is welcome! If you're curious about how it works, feel free to check out our docs: https://toolchest-python-client.readthedocs.io/en/latest/use...

> If I sell my house for more than I paid for it, it's zero sum since someone simply provided me that money.

I think the point the author was trying to make is that you can participate in the housing market by building and selling houses, with the former being “positive sum” (since the land and building materials have a cumulative value less than that of a finished dwelling). The positive sum stuff seemed to be describing markets, not individual transactions
I would counter that your service is not as special as your security guys think it is. The paranoia over "Oh no! Those dastardly hackers will discover that we use PostgreSQL on our backend! Our secret sauce will be spread all across the Internet!" is usually overblown.

Obviously this does require your developers not to be complete idiots by putting their passwords in the error messages or something, but this is an extremely easy bar to hurdle.

At the very least you can put an error code up. Just make sure it is a reasonably long string so you don't have collisions. If you are big enough people will work out what the codes mean and what they can do. For example, I know 0x80D02017 on Windows means Microsoft has broken their IPv6 service endpoint for the Windows Store again, and you can temporary disable IPv6 support to work around it. Even though the error message is the monumentally unhelpful "Unknown", the Internet can come to the rescue. Of course if the error message had been something like "Windows Store update connection to address 2603:1061::9f4d failed: Service responded with protocol version 4, this client only supports version 5" it would have been even better.

Would it disclose data about how Microsoft internals? Maybe a little, but most of that was observable anyway and maybe if you had error messages like this maybe it wouldn't take them 8 goddamn months to find and fix the problem?

Bell existed long before Rogers and TELUS, but nowadays, they are equal partners and beneficiaries of an oligopoly. Bell does not have more power because it was there first, nor TELUS less in the wrong because it entered it last. Whatever differences their time of entry to the market made has long since dissipated. I don't see how the situation is different for app stores.
From a user standpoint, Web Notifications work quite well on Android. When using Chrome for Android (Chromium), each site is assigned a separate Notification Channel so users can change notification priority or block notifications. Firefox for Android (Gecko) works similarly but without Notification Channels.
In general, of course not, but GP originally proposed specifically forbidding non-permanent residents from buying houses. How is that not hurting immigrants?

If you could unravel all perverse effects of American localist planning and regulation, it would be great.

But if the idea is just "let the developers build where they want and that solves everything", that idea is wrong. Developers don't want to build the dense, affordable house that's needed. Developers want to take advantage of the existing housing and housing expectation and build one bigger house or bigger development one ring out among the suburbs.

What's needed is dense construction near to cities and regulations to support that. And "Yimby" and so forth aren't supporting no regulations, they're supporting pure developer friendly regulations, which won't do anything but give them a piece of the present perverse "gold rush".

You can't subscribe to Netflix and Spotify on the App Store anymore. It was possible for a while, where both just handed the costs down to customers. E.g. when Spotify costs 10$ on their site, it used to cost 13$ when purchased through Apple.

I know Spotify stopped supporting in-app purchases when Apple Music came out, because even though both services are priced similarly, from within the Apple ecosystem it seemed that Spotify costs 30% more. And of course because of the anti-steering provisions for Apps, Spotify couldn't even tell iOS users that Spotify is cheaper when you visit their site.
They all support TOTP and some (such as Kraken) support U2F.

Ah, gotcha. That makes sense.

As far as insider info, most larger companies I've been at use a variety of confidentiality levels for their data, the highest of which cannot be emailed or put in the cloud. I believe that most corporate governance professionals are well aware of the risks and options for how to work with such things. But to be fair, your average office worker is not, so compliance with such policies becomes a cultural and education concern.

They really didn't. Physical video game software royalties were not 30% take. Closer to 10%, although it varied depending on manufacturer and publisher agreements.

By the time Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo got established selling digital video games Apple had already been doing a 30% take of iTunes songs for years.

They control computing for 50% of Americans. Not games, not movies. All computing.

And all of the commerce around that computing.

You have to pay their tax to interact with Apple customers in any way.

Who are Apple customers? 50% of Americans.

It's a protection racket and it's anticompetitive af.

Furthermore, you can't use your own software stack / runtimes, have to dance to arbitrary rules, and can't deploy or update when you want or need to.

Apple got this by building an awesome product, but they also played an incredibly evil game that puts Microsoft to shame.

"We're protecting customers" really means "we're tying all of your hands and forcing you to walk the plank".

I totally get how you love your shiny pocket device and you own Apple shares (and may even work there), but this company is destroying our industry and making it unfathomably hard for startups to get off the ground and succeed.

Imagine if Apple hadn't made these draconian choices. We'd still have the technology we have today, but startups would be able to deploy when and how they want. And they wouldn't have to pay their margins away.

Also, they don't block targetted tracking, which would be used by a stalker for example. They only block widespread well known trackers.
