Major = happy seems like a lesson for really young kids that somehow got internalized by a lot of people. It’s so bizarre. In a major 7 chord, the 1 to major 7 interval is quite dissonant… Never mind that a major 7 chord has a minor chord in it, and a minor 7 chord has a major chord in it.

I tend to think of things in consonance vs dissonance, and different colors for chord qualities and voicings. Where the goal is managing contrast/tension and release.

I was including that under "or simply buying because they can afford it now".

"Of the two, B is a more prudent way of making property prices sane again."

Maybe if you taxed unused land. Otherwise that tax will end up increasing a resident's rent/mortgage substantially (as it's a perpetual annual expense). So really, you'd have to tax way above what a normal person can afford (average US household about $75k, so $7500 is 10% gross), and that still wouldn't be much of a disincentive to the wealthy (ignoring the fact the the market would collapse because normal people can't afford to buy it from them nor pay the rent).

Now if we did tax unused land, then we are reducing conservation and incentivize development. This is a major concern for some areas, especially around loss of agriculture land, riparian buffers for water quality, etc.

If we had work that was more distributed, like remote is for IT, then it's possible the effects of all the capital flooding a handful of markets would be diluted by spreading it across numerous others. A generation or two ago we had many small cities with industrial or manufacturing jobs. Now it seems many of those cities have shrunk while the national population has grown, mostly concentrating in specific metro areas.

We've had the same experience in 2022. An afternoon with an HTTPToolkit interceptor is usually all it takes to reverse engineer a brokerage's API; we spend most of our time paving over various brokerage-specific idiosyncrasies and responding to breaking changes in their APIs. We've discovered that building sane abstractions over the various retail brokerages in the US is a hard design problem given the variability in supported assets, account types, order strategies, authentication strategies, etc.

Thankfully we haven't had to field any calls from irate, sleep-deprived CTOs yet - running experiments against APIs during local business hours only could be a good hack for avoiding those :)
The entire concept of "war crime" is a post hoc rationalization for killing one's enemies after the conclusion of hostilities (see Nuremberg trials). It is also semantically redundant. It's like saying "candy chocolate" or "dirty mud".

Further, for much of human history, genocide (or the attempt thereof) was standard practice in warfare. In other words, this is a 20th century neologism and not some kind of timeless truth.

How many people would you kill to stay alive? Or to keep your loved ones alive? The truth is, you can't know as it is impossible to simulate that scenario unless you're actually in it. But if I had to guess, for the average person, the number would be much greater than 1.

I use the Firefox extension on desktop and have no issues. But the iOS one, I have to agree with you, is pretty garbage. It only works half the time for me. It doesn't prompt when I'm in a username field consistently, and sometimes doesn't fill the password on the first time, forcing me to hit it again or copy paste. I find myself more often having to physically navigate to the app, type in my username, and copy paste my password.

If you are using the classic autofill don't you have to maintain your password in keychain as well as 1Password?

The Energy Information Administration regularly produces forecasts for levelized cost of electricity ($/MWh). You can see the present forecast here, which makes projections for plants entering service in 2026 (see table 1b):

https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/pdf/electricity_generation....

Looking at the older report from 2018, we can see costs for plants entering service in 2022:

https://web.archive.org/web/20181227232223/https://www.eia.g...

In 2018 the LCOE for new nuclear built in 2022 was estimated at $92.60/MWh while that from solar PV was estimated at $63.20 (before tax credits) or $49.90 (after tax credits).

The newer report with projections for 2026 shows that both nuclear and solar PV get tax credits, and at that time the nuclear tax credit is actually larger. The after-tax LCOE is $30.43 for solar PV and $70.59 for nuclear.

The earliest report in this series was from 2016. The AP1000 reactors currently under construction in the US started building before 2016, back when solar was considerably more expensive. The decision to build new AP1000 reactors was economically rational given the then-current costs of solar and the then-projected costs of new reactors. The reactor projects went tremendously over budget and utility scale PV costs subsequently plummeted, so building new reactors in South Carolina today would be a much more dubious choice, but I don't fault the decisions made back then.

In 2020 in the United States, utility scale solar PV had a capacity factor of 24% while nuclear power had a 92% capacity factor:

> It relies too heavily on trusting the very tracking companies that the policies are supposed to be protecting users against: Apple’s definition allows apps to secretly send any and all of your data to third parties, and as long as those third parties publicly claim they won’t link your data to other sites or sell it, it’s not considered “tracking” by Apple. It is a 100% trust-based honor system, which means that the only way for these companies to get caught “tracking” is to literally pen a public confession of guilt or wrongdoing — something that profit-driven companies are not exactly known for doing.

>Not only do these trackers allow their clients to break Apple’s rules, but they specifically built features to help their clients easily circumvent Apple’s ATT privacy rules.

>First, we created a dummy app that used the Kochava tracking service. With just a few clicks, we configured Kochava to violate Apple’s “ATT Opt-Out” by asking it to tracking users across apps (using “IP address” and “User Agent”) for the purpose of ad targeting (“Paid Media”). Basically, Kochava made it really convenient for any app developer to violate even Apple’s narrow definition of tracking.

I agree with the tone in the comments here - and the article. It is the land prices that drive prices.

My income here in Germany is alright, according to statistics I am in the top 20% with my monthly income. Unfortunately, I will not be able to buy a decent apartment in the city to start a family if my gf/wife is not also in the top 20%, we get some support from parents and agree to pay off the debt for the next 35 years.

This is the only reason why I am not starting a family.

Times were different, housing was more affordable, but today everyone wants to live in the urban areas, the human population is growing, building standards increased, people can own land forever. In the city where I am living apartments were relatively affordable 20 years ago, today they cost twice as much.

If you ask me then I have to rather populist solutions for the housing crisis: 1) nobody can own land; land is property of the people and can only be leased for 75 year or so; 2) one apartment per head. Not more. 3) all profits from selling real estate are taxed 100%. Those 3 measures would quickly lead to a huge price drop and speculation would not make much sense anymore.
From Wikipedia:

> The Trinity Gadget was officially a Y-1561 device, as was the Fat Man used a few weeks later in the bombing of Nagasaki. The two were very similar, with only minor differences, the most obvious being the absence of fuzing and the external ballistic casing. The bombs were still under development, and small changes continued to be made to the Fat Man design.

So, not identical. But "not anything close" seems wrong.
The US was asking for surrendering without conditions. That was the part that was debated by Japanese internaly, it’s all documented. Remember, their Emperor was considered to be a God. Put yourself in their shoe, what would be consequences for the population to have the US potentially trial and give death penalty to their Emperor ? Would it still be Japan? (keep in mind, people were brainwashed). In the end, even the US decided that keeping the Emperor in place was for the best, however the Japanese had no way to know beforehand, because the US wouldn’t give guarentee.
That is a better resource.

> I might write foo with an assumption that errors rollback, and bar with an assumption that errors abort. [...] These things have color we're just choosing to be blind to it!

This is more of a question of API design than something inherit to effect systems. I think it would be a good idea to use separate types for rolled-back errors and aborting errors; in the case where two functions use the same effect with different handlers, you can always mask the effect[0].

I do not think effect systems ignore color, rather, they give the end-user control over how color is manifested. Sometimes it's desirable to be blind to color.

On the other hand, I do agree that effect systems throw away layering information, much in the same way that auto-collapsing a nested Option None to None defeats the whole purpose of Option types.

Effects can be used with traditional monads, and it's possible to reify effects into monad-like objects that can be handled like values. I mean, that's what an effect handler does: it matches on the enum of effects in scope as if they were a value!

> but I've come to believe they're simply not an improvement over mtl-style constraints with layering expressed when we need it.

Typed tagless form is great, and (on an unrelated note) I love typed tagless final interpreters.

Although I agree that specifying layering relationships is an important component of managing effectful composition, I think the largest issue with mtl-style constraints is that the constraints require higher-kinded types by design. HKTs are really cool, but like a lot of meta-functiinal features can really drag down compilation times.

Effects are nice because they can be implemented as a single pass + cps transform, and existing control flow constructs can be re-written as sugar in terms of effects with no additional overhead (as delimited continuations do not require making a copy of the stack).

But I digress. Monads (and more generally HKTs) give you powerful tools that allow you to prove certain properties about the way effect constraints propogate through a system. I advocate for effects not because they are a replacement for monads, but because they are a nice method for reifying disparate threads of computation in a trivially composable manner.

I also don't think that all layering should be replaced with effects. I think careful layering with the occasional effect when needed is the way to go. Balance and simplicity in all things.

Land value tax.

It could be made palatable to regular people by making a high tax free threshold. Most homeowners could be left unaffected.

That leaves 50% of land owned by the 1%. A fair chunk.

Additionally the money could be funneled initially into pensions for the impoverished elderly.

Capital/billionaires would fight back by arguing that it would hit the elderly the hardest just as the howard jarvis taxpayers foundation did with prop 13 but if it was very obvious how many elderly people were helped, crying about grandmothers having to sell multimillion dollar mansions would probably backfire.

They would throw immense resources at trying to discredit and kill this, though. They would use every character assassination trick in the book to stop those pushing it. Some would probably also resort to violence if that failed. It would be an uphill battle the whole way.

> I can't because my wife doesn't want to leave the current county (because "It's the best county in the world")

For some reason that comment really piqued my curiosity. Obviously lots of us might choose different areas for various reasons (schools, weather, scenery, politics, recreational opportunities, cultural sites, etc). But to make a declaration of world's best must mean a lot of confidence in the greatness of one's county! It also reminds me how little I identify with the county I live in, perhaps because I've lived in a few, and perhaps because I currently live almost directly on a county border and can see the neighboring county from my back windows.

Still, I'm curious what about your home county makes your wife so enthusiastic about it compared to well, everywhere else?
