Quick question: who collects the taxes? Is it the local government or the central government?

I suspect we need to take property taxes away from the local government to the federal government in the US so businesses cannot pressure local governments to give them a handout for opening their business there.
Possibly, depending on what the question is.

My point wasn't that an analogy to commercial businesses should be made, but that since an analogy is being made...
Giving back to the Linux ecosystem is definitely much more enjoyable than reporting Windows bugs. I'm active building packages and reporting/fixing bugs for Solus, as well as contributing some code to a variety of projects from time to time. It's more of a relaxing pastime for me than a chore. Also you mostly are in direct contact with the actual developers of the apps/libraries, which is a huge improvement.
Maintaining interest is hard if you don't utilize your skills on the air, and generally that's how hams practice transmitting as well.

Boris is finished, he probably won't last the week. It reminds me of the day when Thatcher fell. Leading Conservative MPs will be currently phoning each other trying to determine how much support they will get if they make a move. Someone who has no serious chance will be nominated as a 'stalking horse' to stand up and challenge Boris. Then the other stronger candidates will put themselves forward to 'save the name of the party'. That is how they do it.

Actually location is the most important indicative of success in life. So if you were born in the USA you already won such a lottery that it completely dwarfs the rest of influences on your chances of success.

As to rich parents - that can't be an important indicator, just by considering how many more rich people are in the current generation compared to the previous one: who helped them?!

> it is frequently diverted to the general fund and/or maintaining Chicago's transit system (much to the chagrin of the rest of the citizens of the state)

I don't know for sure but if it is anything like New York and upstate, I suspect you will find Chicago pays for you guys much more than you think. I think it is almost guaranteed that overa Chicago pays for you and not the other way around, the only question is magnitude.

In any case, diverting money from road construction to public transit is a good thing.
Often, yes, but sometimes it does happen because they got the most enthusiastic staff (not yet worn down) and attracted the most prepared poor kids with the most motivated parents (the ones who’ll take a chance on a new school pledging higher academic standards).

The one I really wish the United States was better at accounting for is assistance for students with special needs. That hammers public school budgets and also means that those kids are discouraged from trying a new school because that’ll reset their support plan even if the new school offers services.

Maybe it's only necessary for serious compilers. Let's say 10 tokens / line avg., 40 bytes / token (but a naive token struct could easily be 100s of bytes), then we're in the region of 100s to 1000s of bytes per line. Now let's say compiling 100K lines would not be unheard of, and for benchmarks you want to push the millions. We're getting into regions where tokens alone can fill a computer's memory. If there is an easy to make and effective optimization, I'm all for it :-)

I think CBOR could be one of the reasons why WebAuthn unfortunately hasn’t gained more popularity. Would have been much easier for all parties if they would have simply used JSON and base64 or hex to encode/decode binary data.

I implemented the server side of WebAuthn from scratch, and CBOR felt unnecessary, the added value of encoding binary data slightly more efficient seems a small win, given the small data size transmitted/received in a WebAuthn authentication.
If you want you can simply map it.

Go to openstreetmap.org, sign up for an account, login (top right) and then press the "Edit" button.

There will be offer of tutorial, I recommend going though it.

This in editing: select that you want to add point/area, create it and search for power plant in top left. Select it, add more detail if able and save the edit (save button in top right, then enter description of edit in sidebar on the left and press save button).

Edits go live immediately, but data consumers update with some delay depending on their setup (ranges from up to 60 second delay for ones using minutely updates to "no updates").

Wow, that name sounds all wrong, "spinthariscope". It should be "spinth_i_roscope" or "spinth_e_roscope" (from Greek σπινθήρ, "spark", probably transliterated as "spinther", given how other Greek words are transliterated). But, wikipedia has an article on it with that spelling so I guess it's legit.
Strongtowns is an internet phenomenon (ask a normal person if they’ve heard of Strongtowns).

Small towns are shrinking (and large ones, see Detroit). No surprise here.

It’s a trend that started 20 years ago and seems to be reversing due to housing prices and WFH. Strongtowns is a day late and a dollar short.

The unicorn may be slower than the cannon, but it is far faster and easier to use than every other pepper grinder I've had experience with, and it's much more affordable. Regarding the plastic exterior, it has endured across 2 continents for at least 8 years for me, so the plastic is not cheap.
> Looking at it from the point of view of the segments, segment 1 is used equally by 100 houses, segment 1 is used equally by 99 houses, and so on.

It doesn't matter.

If a dead end street with 100 houses costs $120000 to maintain, those 100 houses must contribute a total of $120000.

You can price that as every house contributing $1200; or as the first house contributing $24 for access to one segment, the second $48 for access to two segments and so on until the 100th house pays $2400.

But no matter how you rearrange things, the houses' contributions must sum to $120,000 meaning the mean contribution must be $1200.
From your link:

> We estimate that cats in the contiguous United
States annually kill between 1.4 and 3.7 billion birds
(median ¼ 2.4 billion) (Fig. 1a), with ~69% of this mortality
caused by un-owned cats. The predation estimate for un-owned
cats was higher primarily due to predation rates by this group
averaging three times greater than rates for owned cats.

The range of estimate is staggering, and that it's un-owned cats are the primary issue.

But it's not _only_ the numbers I take issue with, it's the conclusion people take with it and how they communicate it. "Cats are killing BILLIONS of birds! Keep your cat in, or don't even own one."
Depends on what you see as success. Often times it equates to money and that’s a bad way to view success. A good deal of monetary success is by luck and/or exploitations.
Great thoughtful comment. I think you answer your question yourself. It is defensively written for the modern intellectual who wishes their beliefs to have a flair of objectivity. Perhaps another question is, why it is not enough for the author to trust they intuition when it comes to well-being?
All of this is already happening. In the EU energy efficiency labels are being put on household appliances and cars. Clothes dryers have them, vacuums have them, washing machines and dishwashers, too.

>>Clearly tax laws should focus on frontage,

That really doesn't make any sense at all imo; if you have a flag lot, i.e. a small amount of frontage with a 100 acres behind it accessed by the 200'ft of road frontage, shouldn't that be taxed higher than someone with a 1/4 lot also with 200' of frontage?

I object to the current state of property taxes altogether - seen too many people (in some areas) that buy a house live in in for 30 years, pay off their mortgage and are forced to sell it because all of a sudden the property taxes are $40K/year. Doesn't seem right to me.

IMO, taxing people on income is much fairer - by definition as you income goes up, you can afford to pay more - but having a house that you live in go up in value really doesn't give you more ability to pay the tax bill, and we shouldn't be in the business of taxing people out of their houses.

2nd, 3rd, 4th houses - ok in that cases, but a person living in their only house shouldn't be forced to sell it just because it went up in value.

This assumes it’s significantly cheaper to build new roads than to rebuild them which seems false on the surface. It could be that replacing more roads at the same time would drive down costs. If replacing ~600’ of roads is 600$/foot how about replacing 10 miles of roads?

Yeah. There is. Heaters don't cost thousands of dollars, maybe more for ASIC.

Also heaters are way better at converting energy to heat, since they don't have to do the whole mining thing. And they can reach higher temperatures without frying themselves. Being a simple resistor rather than complex logical circuit.

If I spend 1kWh to just warm water vs I spend some part of that 1kWh to mine bitcoin and warm water, the former will be more efficient.
I mean, if you’re going to go out that way you might as well go Kool-Aid brand.
Nice, I built a radix version of this in 2013. It didn't have a GC though (was left for later :D)
Mine was networked as an overlay to a linearizable range scannable kv-store with single-writer multiple-reader access and a three party model with the data owner just periodically signs the root to continue to delegate trust.

Had n-ary nodes though, the nice thing is that the proof is equal to the path to the node in that case (well because of radix/trie).

Was always playing with the idea of writing it down especially with all the crypto bullshit going on, but I was too lazy.
Restricting DAB reception would be pointless unless they also turned off all non-digital am/fm broadcasts, which I think is unlikely.

I believe there was once a separate BBC radio license, but they gave up on that long ago. So now BBC radio is financed from the TV licence fee, but there's no requirement to have a TV licence to listen to radio.
One friend at uni had his TV with him, but refused to pay the license fee, completely ignoring the numerous letters we all received. A couple of other friends in our halls hid it whilst he was gone for the holidays and left a fake letter informing him it had been confiscated for non-compliance. Very amusing (for everyone else) when he returned!

If value of a commodity is predicated on scarcity - eg gold - then isn’t it the case that Bitcoin is actually using energy as the scarce commodity on which its value is based?

GEO satellites never move. Only times they are moved out of its longitude is when they are decommissioned or relocated when absolutely necessary, which by the way takes months.

GEO satellites don't "pass over" anything by definition. They permanently float in the air 35786km above a designated spot along equator(complicated). So GP is clearly not talking about GEO satellites.
Would moving to proof-of-stake help reduce energy (as used in newer Ethereum)? (less secure, but more energy efficient/faster)

> optimise for - hospitalisations, which were and remain the main limit to how much Covid we can handle, are significantly lowered by vaccination.

There are other things that lower that risk significantly, such as having recovered from covid previously, having no co-morbidities, healthy diet, being young, having a sufficient vitamin D level and many more. Why does everyone need to get the same medical treatment? Not all people are the same. The risk to get myocarditis from the mRNA vaccine is higher than getting it from covid for males under 40. This is a large share of a population.

For example, they are paying $266/month for 16 thread 128GB 3.8TB SSD, but you can rent a better machine for 99$/month from Hetzner (AX61-NVME).

They are also spending $40k/year on "data protection services" (?!?) and 60k for "site moderation" (they could instead not moderate or rely on third-party forums and messaging services they don't need to moderate).

It's not a symmetric situation as these are not at the same level of the stack.

Unix, as an OS, can and, maybe more importantly, does host a plethora of languages and even operating systems (as VMs). Smalltalk does not, and if you take the OS = language idea seriously, cannot.

So Ruby can read Unix directories and files. Ruby cannot read Smalltalk "directories" (the Smalltalk dictionary) or files (objects). And Smalltalk cannot read Ruby objects.

Python can read Unix directories and files. Python cannot read Smalltalk directories or files. And Smalltalk cannot read Python objects.

Java can read Unix directories and files. Java cannot read Smalltalk directories or files. And Smalltalk cannot read Java objects.

etc.

All of these can interoperate fairly trivially (though possibly not particularly well) via the filesystem. They cannot (and could not, without significant effort) interoperate via Smalltalk.
On a non-sarcastic note, it could well be that this and similar cults are banned on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, which is perfectly fine. They still have their own website.
