It gets the purposes of taxes wrong, and assumes the usual economic myths of a fixed amount of money and a loanable funds structure, with money being a veil over barter.

Once you realise the latter are a myth, then the entire concept of taxing land makes no sense. Government, in a country with its own free floating currency, has no need of tax money to spend. In fact spending causes taxation from the induced transaction chain that will, without impediment from people saving some of their income rather than spending it, always precisely match whatever government spends.

It's like a stone skipping across a pond.

Taxing reduces the length of spending chains. You tax to release resources for the public use, and the tax imposer is then morally required to hire all those released to avoid unemployment. There is no other operational purpose for taxation.

The natural conclusion of that view is that the best place to tax is to charge business for hiring labour. Then they won't hire as much, and government can then hire them to be teachers, doctors, judges, etc.

The presence of financial saving means that money has an inductive relationship with physical production, not a direct one. Just like we need reactive power in an electrical circuit so that iPhone chargers work properly, we need reactive monetary circulation to make sure that physical production occurs at the maximum amount.

The problem with land is not rent, it is the power of exclusion, which leads to hoarding. Just like any other market. So you tackle the hoard in the same way as any other attempt to corner markets - via anti-trust measures.
It is both. If it is VOIP it should always allow emergency calls period. But Google ALSO screwed up by not ensuring emergency numbers go through even if the configured dialer is trying to eat it.
Indeed they would do well To Consider The Lack Of Gravitas.
I suspect that this little tidbit here is the root cause:

"If a Teams client is not located at a tenant-defined dynamic emergency location, emergency calls from that client are screened by a national call center to determine the location of the caller before transferring the call to the PSAP serving that geographic location."
I was trying to write some function similar to `make` but in vein. Maybe I need to open the compiler like the author did. make() takes a type as argument but you can't define such functions in go. And `make` itself is not a keyword, how does golang implement it? is it a special case?

If they can determine that any phone in usage today running Android software may be prone to this bug they should issue an immediate recall on all devices. That's likely to be almost every Android device purchased in the past couple of years. This scale of recall is not without precedent.
I'm a fan. It's a good name, a decent theme, and there just is something comforting in having things look the same across applications...
Vietnam has 90 million people. South Korea doesn’t have much scale, Japan has a bit, the numbers only start making sense if we could develop a supply chain throughout Indonesia, Malaysia, maybe using talent and capital from Singapore. Or India and South Asia, of course, if things were more stable. But alas, stability is important. And none of those regions are very stable.

Glommio uses io_uring: https://github.com/DataDog/glommio

And I integrated Hyper as an example:

And the performance was blisteringly quick (6x better latency streaming from a file compared to Nginx).
As with all good systematic approaches, Lean and Six Sigma fall in the same category, the V-model is great. It is also, basically, just codified common sense, and that codification is key and incredible important. And as with Lean and Six Sigma, people can apply the substance of it without rigidly following the form (read: checking boxes in process description) and be fine. Or they can can follow the form without the substance and be fine on paper and still produce crap systems engineering. Kind of like the old the saying: Inspection ready troops don't pass combat, combat ready troops don't pass inspection.
I've used Island to put all work applications on to a work profile to keep it seperate from the main / personal profile. I wonder if Teams still could interfere with the dialer then or when the work profile is inactive.
It is if 'manage emergency calling' is an option your application provides.

I don't know the answer to this either, but I'll at least try to give an idea on how one might get to that value.

For the Land Value Tax this question is fairly straight-forward. We have the current market value(say $2.4M from the article). We need to work out the value for the land($2M from the article). That 2M is the losses if a 100% LVT is applied. You can choose to phase in the tax, or you can give a tax subsidy equal to the land value($2M), or you can flat out print money equal to the land value, and you can do some combination of all three. Of those 3, it is better to implement the full tax right away to correct the incentives as soon as possible, but long-term it doesn't matter so long as the incentives get there.

One of the interesting consequences here is if you currently own a home, and understand that we are currently in a bubble, and know the consequences of 2008, you are incentivized to vote for a Land Value Tax with a one time transition subsidy, as it will lower your risk profile from another catastrophic collapse of the housing market.

Similar approaches surely apply to carbon sellers, and the carbon tax and dividend is extremely close in idea as the Land Value tax with UBI. So long as people are disincentivized against using carbon, giving tax credits or cash to these companies seems appropriate.

Wolfenstein and Doom are 100% correct because Carmack 'cheated' by deciding to never look down/up or draw slopes :-) so whole game is drawn with 'lines of constant Z'. Or as they put it

UbuWeb is under 2TB. Right now, everything can be right clicked & downloaded, but we're working on a solution where you can simply download the whole site with one click. And when you plug the HD in it will update automatically. We call it "Ubu in a Cave." Coming in a few months.
I honestly feel like NYTimes is not going to cover it for political reasons. I am happy to be convinced otherwise.
Because China is a dictatorship, it is OK to be seen as a single coherent entity, in my opinion.
In the non-IT world, systems engineering is about building solutions using components, sub-assemblies, assemblies of sub-assemblies all the way to the complete solution.

Such systems are deigned by starting with a top-level goal/problem and the decomposing the solution through a series of layers. The construction then takes place from the most granular low-level components.

In the naive interpretation of the word "generalist" you would be conflating a chemical engineer with an aeronautical engineer. But when you are build a petroleum refining plant you want chemical engineers to be dictating the top level design whilst for a wind-farm you would want aeronautical and electrical engineers doing the top-level design.

Software engineering mostly deals with intangible "objects" so the rigid distinctions are rarely enforced. Unlimited degrees of freedom leads to many amazing possibilities and also the biggest disasters.
It would scale just fine. Software would cost a bit more, profits would go down a bit, quality would shoot up and support costs would drop. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a net positive in the longer term.

But in a world dominated by quarterly earnings this won't fly.

That's not how the CCP works.
Supporting 911 calls with the bare 911 number is not the same as overriding the phone's default 911 handling and I doubt the FCC has any regulation that says a provider functioning as a third party on a phone is required to _replace_ & disable a working built in emergency dialing function with a broken app function.
Last I saw there was no substantial evidence of io_uring delivering a significant improvement over epoll, but I haven't looked in the last year. I wouldn't assume it is good just because it is in Linux (this is coming from someone who uses Linux exclusively)

Really great perspective from a community point of view (if you want a good read, check out the 20-year-old "Design for communities" book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Design-Community-Derek-Powazek/dp/0...).

From a software pov I'm less convinced. Seems to me that "just make a Telegram / WhatsApp / whatever" group is where most online communities seem to be coalescing...?
I am not disagreeing at all, but most places have stupid regulations for petty nationalistic reasons. Saying that you can’t have a superpower with these is laughable, considering the history of the USSR and the US specifically. Though, again, this is very common.
I have yet to use any system where the UI can’t get stuck. Usually any menu/whatever that appears on mouse over will remain open when some other action overlays another GUI element over it. But there are myriad other small bugs like this on windows to ios to even tiny tiling wms.

You need to design your system with appropriote trade-offs. If you want to be everything to everyone you will end up in mess you describe. Cross-platform game, coreutils or LOB are all different beasts. Unity shows how API surface level will get polluted as you strive for speed in your cross-platform game, but on the flip side you run on all platforms without overhead.

I tend to use DDD and the egg-shell pattern, building a domain / service model in portable code, and leaving the platform specific code to the outer shell behind a refined abstraction. I dont have any APIs with overloads, but sometimes the backing API is a no-op.
The Futurama DVD commentary is amongst the funniest/most interesting commentaries I've ever listened to.

Shallow breadth and focused moderate depth. T- or Π- or m-shaped.

I try out lots of things and even if they don't become permanent hobbies, I'm glad to have a very basic introduction to them. Skydiving, kite surfing, marathoning, engine rebuilding, Alaskan mountain hiking are all things I've done on the order of 1-5 times. I may or may not do any of those again. I will never be good at any of them, but they are part of the human experience I have engaged in and I'm thankful for that.

Other hobbies I'm good at but will never be anywhere near a pro. I enjoy linguistics but I haven't read an academic paper in over two years (the last time I did was actually for a footnote in a law review article going off on a tangent about Chief Justice Warren's express opinion that courts shouldn't "sit as a panel of grammarians" and that an appellate court did so anyway and got a fundamental part of linguistic analysis wrong). I enjoy programming but the only project I ever felt worthy of publishing on GitHub is an old static site generator I wrote in C before they were cool (~2002-2003). And I'm okay with that too. My skill level is enough to be useful in automating things about my legal practice or having a framework to make learning the basics of a new language easier. It doesn't need to be more than that.

> I do not understand why there is a huge gap between scientific knowledge and physicians.

Why do you assume physicians are making their treatment decision based on gaps in their scientific knowledge or incompetence?

I am not a physician, but a major factor you are completely ignoring is liability. By prescribing/treating aggressively they know they are guaranteeing negative side effects that may be unnecessary. But they need to weigh that against chance of a terrible outcome for the patient & potentially loosing their livelihood.
Have you kept up with android though? Decade old experience doesn’t mean much otherwise.
I am a little disappointed that mktemp as an intermediate is not mentioned.
>Yep, and then they recover them, which isn't possible with a lost private key.

He told you that there are smart wallets now (like with Argent) that allow you to retrieve access to your account just like you would with anything else. And it's possible to lose your password and not recover them unless you've set up the right recovery measures.
As I posted above I integrated Hyper (web server) with Glommio (io_uring based async runtime).

Based on my limited benchmarks against Vertx/Scala and Nginx it was significantly faster, had zero failed transactions and used a fraction of the memory/CPU.

That means I need less servers and have a better end user experience.
I don't assume it's good because of Linux, I have a generally negative view of Linux. It's just stupid to attribute io_uring to rust or call it cargo culting for Rust to use io_uring. The two projects are unrelated.

As for performance, I wouldn't judge based on a year ago, obviously a lot has changed since then - you can find numbers if you'd like, I saw the maintainer posting benchmarks only a few weeks ago.
What about blameless post mortems in many well run companies? Either internally or even externally they are basically admiting mistakes.

It should not happen as per the documentation, so it may be a bug on an OS implementation level, but not on an architectural one.
This makes a lot of sense from a swdev perspective (sadly).
The 911 feature is probably the least used on any android phone, so real-world testing and reporting are limited for multitude of reasons.

Developing and testing this feature is probably less convenient than normal calls, since it requires you to either have a fake 911 setup (meaning operating the phone in an rf shielded environment and with a fake tower) or actually disturbing real 911 services.

So, while super sad, not surprised at all.
Me too!
If it wasn’t for Minecraft I probably wouldn’t be where I am now. Pretty much the first time I wrote code was because I wanted to build a Minecraft mod. It was (unsurprisingly) absolutely horrible, but it was the start of a long learning journey.

Agreed. I wouldn't care if Rust dropped Windows/ OSX support entirely. Totally niche platforms.

Care to explain why they only make sense for interpreted languages and what limitations you are talking about? Async in Rust is mostly just a convenient syntax around ideas which has been around in the C and C++ worlds for decades with libraries like libevent.
Yes, that's what I was thinking as well. Vehicles are a very popular tool for suicide, especially among young(er) men.

That's a good indication that it is not decentralized ;).
I believe that permission is only needed for the Find My App itself (so that it can display the map correctly centered w.r.t where you are).

I don't think it affects finding that device from other devices.
Pleroma emulates Mastodon's API, so most Mastodon apps also work with it
Interesting point. I experience the same, and realized that my glasses are getting old - probably need new ones. Maybe parent doesn’t even have glasses?

For this reason I prefer not-pitch-black dark themes. E.g monokai is a bit brighter background and is thus more comfy.
About 24 million people are at stake, just watch the Taiwanese Foreign minister's palpitations and the horror on his face with regards to Chinese aggression. If this doesn't convince you of the tacit reality, not sure what will: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3D0_Bhzbyo

Some level of pushback - manufacturing in this case - is the most reasonable, peaceful and rational recourse to the threat China poses to the world and its neighbors, while also creating a supply chain resiliency. I think narrative that you've spelled out is a grave danger to democracies around the world. If anything is ratcheting up that is taking an innocuous comment about globalist corporation's greed to an extreme and alarmist parallel to pre-world world nationalism which I find rather irresponsible.
Just call 911, and when connected state that it's a test call and hang up. 911 calls have plenty of capacity for occasional test calls, and the need to test them clearly is important to reduce the risk of them not working when needed.

If you need to do automated tests, there is a test flag in the android dialer API which will make the call but mark it with some test flag so you get a recorded message not a human answering.
Nord is vastly superior.
I think we can use Vickrey Auctions for this problem. Vickrey Auctions are able to give not only price discovery, but also value discovery. Vickrey auctions incentivize bidders to bid their true value. If instead of using price discovery, we use value discovery, the price can stay at 0, so long as a certain (limited) amount of people are faced with a choice that would have them go without.

So for example perhaps we sample 50,000 people and say 75% of people keep access, say when they vote. If you bid in the top 75%, you keep access for the period, and you pay the value that the bottom person that kept access bid. That money is then not used to pay for the IP, some other tax will fund the IP or Open Source Software or Meme, that 25% will then go to all the voters for providing their values. So the average bidder will pay nothing, the below average bidder will lose something they value low, but gain, and the highest bidders will fund that. We then take some other collection and sample another 50,000 people, until we find out the value of all of these digital items to people.

If you do the subsidization process correctly, I think the idea of IP owners holding their supply back would go away, as releasing it to all would always provide more value than holding it back. I think at the very least this would be an obvious answer to Open Source Software, and this would easily fund things like Linux and Firefox. I think this would stretch further to research, and colleges would now be funded through this mechanism, and the professors who currently waste enormous amounts of time doing grant writing would be able to be productive. Thus the whole issue of journals goes away. Even things like ads, people would bid on their service less because of them, so there would be no fundamental reason to include them as it would reduce the subsidy.

There's a quick way to tell if a field is staffed _mostly_ by enthusiasts or mostly by money. Does the field have an active after-work topic community?

There exist active lawyer forums, and the things they discuss might as well be philosophy for the depth of analysis they invest. Software forums by the ton. Nurses seem to have active forums, though I haven't really looked at them. Vehicle mechanics, musicians, agriculture, teachers, pilots, scientists, authors, truck drivers, engineers, even construction. I could go on.

Which major top-dollar professions do not seem to be represented? Doctors, office administration, bankers. These are professions that seem to have very few enthusiasts working in the field. I'm sure they exist, but they are rare.

I should go tell my physician how much I appreciate her. I have a good one.

How is this relevant?

The GP mentioned "async runtimes". There are other approaches to async that don't involve using an async runtime, like epoll / kqueue. I personally prefer writing synchronous code, running in multiple threads pulling from a shared work queue. It isn't a one-size-fits-all solution but it is widely applicable, and you get to avoid the complexity of writing 'async code'
