Especially because it was not signed in. Teams doesn't make any phone calls without being signed in, even 911.

> Currently the property tax is offset by rising property prices and its not worth the hassle/risk to put tenants into the properties.

Depending on the local laws, leaving properties empty can actually be riskier than having them occupied. I had a friend struggle to evict squatters who moved into his rental property while it was vacant for a few weeks between tenants for upgrades. He lost months trying to get them evicted and they did a lot of damage to the house because they didn’t have anything to lose.

Houses are also tough assets to just sit on because they slowly decay over time and require periodic maintenance and updates, even if nobody is living there. An empty house can actually accumulate damage faster than an occupied house because nobody is there to notice leaks or other problems.

Leaving a property empty is definitely not a normal situation outside of maybe a few select markets with outlier (bubble) levels of appreciation and speculation. Building an entire tax system around this possibility doesn’t seem like a good idea.
Trams suck, IMO. The only good thing about them is they often get right of ways, which can also be given to busses. Subways are where it's at. Long trains that don't have to deal with traffic lights.

If you luck out with reliable hardware the rate of pure bit flips from high energy particles is rather rare.

Problem is if you start having unreliable hardware it could be any component of your system. ECC memory helps track down a class of errors that could be in the ram chip, dimm, dimm socket, motherboard, CPU socket, or CPU.

My desktop cost another $100 or so because I got a E3-1230 xeon instead of the similar clocked i7. I bought it in 2015 and it's been fast, and reliable. Sure I might manage 6 month uptimes anyways, but I also might track down a dimm problem in hours instead of weeks.
What sours me to the whole concept is how everything crypto touches becomes a hive of scammers and salesmen, and hype all focused on making a dollar rather than creating valuable technology. The whole NFT thing has been a net negative on the world and now crypto promoters are pushing for companies to integrate with it to take what was once free and put a price tag on it. For what benefit?

I fail to see how these are in contention.

Our (American) lack of HSR actually _decreases_ individual choice. Instead of having the extra option of convenient rail connections, we have to suffer through long drives or airport transits. Insofar as public infrastructure enables individual freedom, I believe China is currently out-America-ing America.
That's an interesting point. It's easy to mount an ISO in VirtualBox, but I don't see a way to mount any sort of "virtual USB flash drive". I wonder what's the easiest[1] way to install an OS in a VM if you don't have an ISO.

Even more interesting is EasyOS's official install instructions[2] seem to tell you to download a live CD ISO for an old version, and move from there to the latest version. I guess they're not completely free of needing ISOs just yet.

[1] Obviously excluding things like virt-install. I'm talking about live booting an interactive OS or installer.

“But won't landlords just raise the rent to make up for the LVT, passing the burden of the tax on to the tenants? Georgists say no, because land is special in that it is scarce and nobody can make any more of it. Indeed, LVT is a rare form of taxation that actually boosts the economy, because it discourages rent-seeking and speculation. Some Georgists even go so far as to say that LVT can raise enough revenue to replace all other less efficient taxes, becoming the so-called "Single Tax," but this is not a universally held position among modern Georgists. To be clear, proponents of the "Single Tax" believe that LVT is sufficient for all public purposes and that no other taxes (such as income tax, capital taxes, and tariffs) are necessary for revenue generation, although they still might support carbon taxes or "sin taxes" on things they want to discourage.”

Translation: Land is special, see? That means landlords will suddenly act irrationally and not pass costs onto their tenants, choosing instead to operate at a loss. And this method of taxation will somehow solve the housing crisis, because it will cause competition for scarce resources to suddenly stop. Some followers of these ideas imagine it being the only tax society could ever need! Except, you know, the ones that we want to keep so we can manipulate the dumber citizens into behaving the way we smarter citizens decide.

What a garbage philosophy. It takes a lot of education to step into bullshit this pungent.
Is Georgism the new fad philosophy? Seems like every few years you see things like this crop up and the technies go all nuts over it. Stoicism was the last big one. I know they aren't strictly related but seeing these fad philosophies is interesting.

Interesting, I’ll take a look at the docs. Appreciate you pointing that out!
I think the biggest problems with Georgism are 1. in some sense it calls for the expropriation of land by the government 2. it's unfair to change the rules in the middle of the game and 3. it's logistically difficult to carry out.

As far as unfairness goes, imagine a couple, 65, retired, paid off their mortgage, paid income taxes all their lives until retirement, now living off their savings. It's unfair to start taxing them based on the value of the land their home is built on, which they already paid for.

Smoking is a nasty addiction. I don't really support taking away someone's right to put in their body what they want, but this won't do that in practice, only in legalese. By the time 14 year olds die off in between 2080 and 2110, anyone born in the near future is going to have access to tobacco in near limitless quantity without much of a markup above market rate.

What really strikes me about this story is how tobacco can be something more than what is it known for now.

It is a truly special plant, up there with tea, cannabis, coca, poppies, coffee, chocolate, khat, sugar.

A law like this encourages people to not be addicts, but to enjoy responsibility. I know the government and science say that's not possible, but we are probably entering an age where the sacrifices of generations of prior smokers has made lung cancer and other cancers a top priority.

I would really like to see Tobacco take a place with the other drugs and become something that's savored and enjoyed once in a while.

There are so many kinds of tobacco. I don't really like it. I have met a handful of people who loved tobacco, but didn't smoke much, maybe once a day or week, but real nice stuff. I remember someone introduced me to a cigarette with a tobacco leaf nicotien content of like 6-9%, I believe is was called a Brazilian cigarette as it was introduced to me. I took one or two hits of that and my head was swimming! Stomach too. Just wrecked me. Same as chewing does. Tried chewing half a dozen times. Always felt like I was going to throw up. The juicy torture was unique, but it wasn't for me.

I've never in my life been a regular tobacco smoker, but sometimes I like a few shreds stolen from a cigarette in my bong.

Tobacco is a cool plant, and I would like for everyone to experience it.
Absolutely true. Freedom given almost always equals the opposite freedom taken from someone else.

So let me try again, hopefully with a bit more precision: If you want to do something to your own body in a way that doesn't affect me, then I have little basis for fighting over where the line should be drawn. You want to smoke in your house? Knock yourself out. You want to smoke in your car? Go for it.

You want to smoke in my face? Now we have a battle about where that line is going to be drawn - whose freedom will be lost, yours or mine. Now I at least have legitimate grounds for arguing that your freedom should be the one to lose.

NFT promoters want to resolve that by having platforms build in integration so they can DRM their NFTs.

No matter how messed up an app is it should never be able to interfere with essential functions like calling 911. IMO Microsoft bears zero responsibility for this bug or testing for it. Android is entirely to blame here.
That is definitely true.

> it just somehow does a handshake with the 911 department's equipment instead.

> Still not a good idea, since you don't want a bunch of phones DDoSing 911.

Eh, it doesn't sound too bad as something to roll out eventually. About 240 million 911 calls per year vs. 280 million cellphones in the US, and a dry run test would be expected to use a fraction of the resources (short call, etc). So, to test once per year I'd think you'd need to make the call handling infrastructure a small percent wider, and that extra capacity is something you could even benefit from (because phones could avoid testing at peak times).

The big problem is that this tests the actual call handling (and perhaps address reporting, etc)-- but doesn't do much to test the actual UI, audio path, etc, under the circumstance of an emergency call.
...and it's already been cracked.
I think we're talking about different things. I was responding under the assumption the commenter wanted to build their own market for trading inflation bets. If someone already did the work to accept money, make the market, and handle payouts then great, leverage that. That betting market exists because enough people wanted to bet on inflation prior to blockchains existing. However, there will be new things in the future that people want to bet on, and those new markets will be easiest implemented on a blockchain.

Just a for instance, I can create a betting market based on how many times my dog licks her butt during the day very easily on the blockchain. How can I do that using traditional means?
Is this in reference to "two weeks to flatten the curve"?

> A lot of the reason why I detest NFTs in particular is because I detest the concept of artificial scarcity, something that has been plauging the digital world long before the invention of NFTs

I agree with this, artificial scarcity is a lousy way to get anything done. The end-game of economics ought to be to eliminate scarcity, artificial or otherwise. But if the alternative to NFT's is the status quo, then you're choosing between a system where only the privileged get to set up artificial scarcity games (usually there are lawyers...) versus one where anyone can do so. It still sucks, but it sucks less.

> Naturally, the exploitation of natural resources and absurd energy demands solely to enforce the value of made up internet items would be the endgame [of NFTs].

I think that the endgame is to exchange NFTs as proofs of contribution to the public good. I minted this NFT by sequestering a kilogram of carbon, by filling this pothole, by serving in a jury, that sort of thing. As it stands it's not really clear why I should accept a dollar from a stranger--for all I know, they made that dollar by making the world worse. Why should I participate in a scheme that enables them to continue doing so? But with NFT's I can look at the circumstances of its minting and decide for myself whether that's the kind of thing I want to see more of.

I'm not an expert in seismometry, but I think there'd be quite a lot of challenges to overcome. Off the top of my head:

I don't know how precise iPhone accelerometers are, but modern seismometers measure on the nanometre scale.

There's also the issue of orientation. Seismometers measure X, Y and Z and are fixed in place, aligned with latitude and longitude or at an offset. It looks like you can get X, Y, Z from an iPhone accelerometer, but the phone could be in any number of different orientations. It would be necessary and difficult to rectify all those different orientations, as calculating magnitude on a horizontal or vertical component makes a difference.

Seismometers also have well known transfer functions, which are required because a step in calculating most magnitude types is simulating them as a particular type of seismometer, e.g. ml or local magnitude is taken after simulation as a Wood-Anderson seismometer.

Not saying it couldn't be done, just lots of problems to solve. There's always https://raspberryshake.org/!
Well, charging an increase in rent without making an improvement would suggest that the value of the land has gone up, that increase would be taxed away, and so they wouldn’t be able to increase profit by raising rent. Of course, you do have to redistribute as well. It doesn’t help nearly as much just to tax.
Companies have (and I don’t know the right terminology here, but you’ll get the idea) local test microcells that they use to test phones without actually connecting to the real network.
>Still not a good idea, since you don't want a bunch of phones DDoSing 911.

Not sure I entirely agree. I would want an emergency system to be resilient to DDoS, and frequently tested for that.
You can do a 911 test call. Make sure to tell them it's not an emergency instead of just hanging up. To play it safe, you can call your local non-emergency number and ask them how to do a test call. Sometimes they will schedule a test, sometimes they will just ask you to call outside of peak hours.
The person was able to make other calls right before the attempted 911 call, though, so while it could be something like this it seems like it might be more complicated.
Ignoring the confusion over "property tax" vs "land-value tax" I think your complaint about:

> extremely relative value of property from region to region

would apply equally to income tax and sales tax. Is there some other tax that you feel doesn't have high variance between regions? You did note:

> It even dwarfs the relative difference in income taxes for similar jobs in dissimilar places

It may be worth noting that Mississippi has a per-capita GDP of $40,000 (income per person), whereas New York State is $90,000 per person. The median home sale price in Mississippi is $163,600 whereas in New York (state) it is $336,000. It would appear that the ratio between incomes-actually-worked matches the ratio between homes-actually-lived-in. Each are a bit over twice as high in New York as in Mississippi.

As an aside, one of the benefits of property tax (especially over sales tax) is the relative stability of it. Property values don't change nearly as much year-to-year as consumer spending does. Therefore, school districts can more easily plan 5-to-10 year budgets when they derive their income from property taxes rather than sales taxes.
the point is that you should use a mechanism that allows it, without some magical tool. Ventoy wasn't a thing until recently and what they said was true and is still true for people who just go to some homepage, download an ISO and flash it. Not a lot of people know about Ventoy, they would be stuck with a non persistence backup media.

> It's more expensive to live in the heart of New York City than in the middle of Nebraska. That's not because construction costs are orders of magnitude more expensive in New York, but because the land is orders of magnitude more expensive.

This is missing a key element: The value of a parcel in NYC is partly from the land itself but most of it comes from the development rights. If you have parcel which a 5 story building could be built on, that parcel is worth 2-5x more if the city grants you the right to build a 100 story building there. The limiting factor in cities tends to be zoning and development rights more than land itself.

As far as I am aware on Linux there is no way to stat and unlink in one syscall. And a second stat will create a second race condition. If you don’t want the file to exist why are you questioning whether you have permission or not? Just unlink the file via rm, if possible.
Most places already assess the value of land separately from improvements; when you get your property tax bill they’re often broken out. The process of separate assessment is well established!
I think that's a good point. On the other hand, it's unfair that all of the valuable land has been claimed by people before I was even born.
