> Have you read the 10th Amendment?

Yes, have you?

> State's rights are literally enshrined in the Constitution.

Find the word “right” or “rights” in the 10th Amendment.

“Rights” are nowhere associated with governments (state or federal) except in being protected against them in the Constitution (either base, bill of rights, or later Amendments); in the Constitutional model, people have both rights and powers, the latter of which they endow selectively to various governments.

“States rights” is a slogan created much later than the BoR by the pro-slavery faction that continues to be an anti-civil-rights slogan.
IMVHO this is more a fictional story to justify issues in actual westerns society...

Few purposed vague elements, that if detailed reveal their incoherence:

- subsidiarity :: how a large community/entity can help but not interfere? Let's take a simple example: in India there are various cohort of population, let's focus on Indus and Muslims. Indus consider cows sacred animals, they can be milked but not confined nor slaughtered fro their meat. Muslims eat cows, so slaughter them for that purpose BUT do not eat pigs, a religious crime for them, while Indus have no issues in eating pigs. Suppose you are the bigger entity: how can you help them without interfere?

- family policy :: a family designed by mother, father and children miss a part: the two parents have also their parents, who happen to get elderly, for instance. Their children at a certain point in time will leave family. Making a family an atom who form molecules, means the society can't exists. Original family ideas came from a more practical élites needs: people to live need to be a bit together and reproduce, they need to be balanced in sex terms for that and for social stability BUT "we" (élite) need also something for them. Let's define them a family, saying any family have to give something to the élite: food, young sane people for war etc. Locking peoples in such mindset it's easy to say: you parents need to reproduce, more than one child because he/she can die, some are needed to work to live, some are tribute for war etc do not care much about you, your duty is the family. You child you have a family, you need to represent it, so go to war and work hard, do not care much about your duty it the family. That's the simplest and easiest subdivision of humans to direct them as a flock. As single families they need someone who handle their disputes, they have a simple duty they believe etc. The rest of the society is designed with the same scenario: authorities/élites are "parents", families their children who need to obey.

Autarchy is a dream, sci-fi movies prove it regularly design autonomous starship with a small set of humans traveling the galaxy, in the past that was Conestoga wagon, equally nomadic life and so one. All depict the dream but omit how anything is built. Who built the starship, for instance. That's left aside because it's the core of the gamble: we need something organized differently, often some people forced to live bad life to makes others happy etc.

Taxes is equally used here in psychological terms instead of in economical terms: they are weaponized instead being clearly described as a way to avoid some earn too much respect of others. A social leveling mechanism. Again they aren't cited like that because if so we have to say that money is not a value no-one-really-know who control it but just a symbol we agree to use as a unit of measure for a substrate NOT as the substrate of anything like we do today.

It's a classic way to use emotions for stopping people think and demand clarity, making them blindly trust something.
Everyone is allowed to have their opinion, but this article is full of opinions based on incorrect information, such as that hospitals in May 2020 were empty, or that the vaccines did not work.

> And yet nobody has an issue with Namecheap marketplace—a centralized ledger

If nobody has an issue with it, why are you talking about an alternative to it? What's the benefit? Also note that Namecheap does sell domains that are then recognized by many other entities, it's not a "virtual property" that only leaves within Namecheap's system, it's something you end up owning in the legal world.

The "not real" argument is that you change your trust model as soon as you reach boundaries. Uniswap etc. are trustless, but only up to the point where the assets traded become real and are redeemed outside of the blockchain and some legal entity can actually back up the value of the tokens you traded. One of the selling points of Ethereum is that you don't need to trust anyone; if that's not the case, as we both agree, what's left? Why do you need Uniswap to be trustless when you rely on legal entities to ensure that what you're trading has some non-fictitious value?

You wrote:

> it can be used as a tool to help build social consensus about certain digital state/records without placing the data in control of a single centralized entity

If I try to parse this, you substitute some blockchain to the laws usually ruling relationships between entities, and instead of a judge, you use smart contracts to decide what happens. But again the scope is too limited to be useful, because the real world doesn't live in a blockchain, and the smart contracts will only rule a tiny part of these relationships. That's the token redemption example above.

Well, while Georgism is most famous for advocating for land value taxation the LVT itself is not the only Georgist tax. All forms of economic land, including such things as natural resources and intellectual property, also generate economic rents and are candidates for taxation. Furthermore, cutting taxes on labor and capital increases the value of land significantly, so much of the revenue "lost" by cutting income taxes, sales taxes, corporate taxes etc would flow directly back into land values and return via the LVT.

In any case, there is lots of room for experimentation at the margins and any Georgist reform won't be complete or overnight. Any shift from taxing labor and capital will result in a better and more efficient economy, so don't get too caught up in the abstract end state.
This is my understanding as well for the criticism of French: He's still very much a conservative, but the definition of "conservatism" has changed to include fealty to an individual instead of (or perhaps in addition to, in some cases) a set of principles. In that context he's maintained his principles and it's led to a lot of criticism from those who have changed theirs in ways they don't seem to be aware of.
Other than perhaps zoning restrictions, how does this differ from traditional hotels/motels in extreme tourist areas, like Niagara Falls. If people don't want to live permanently in a city for whatever reason, of course the city will suffer.

Well other taxes are not precluded by Georgism. See for instance Piguovian taxes and IP taxes. But additionally, I don’t think it can be assumed that the government will continue to need its current amount of revenue. Under subsidiary, the size of the federal government would drastically be reduced as power moves downward to local governments.

One way to look at it is that taxes and fees like this are the cost of living in such a place.

California is a very desirable place to live and to employ people, so they can charge through the nose, both in terms of taxes and bureaucracy, but also in terms of housing prices.

Low-tax sunbelt states are less desirable, ergo they have to compete on price, be it taxes, housing costs, or regulations. If Texas or Florida provided amenities that people wanted and a workforce as desirable as California, either there would be a massive influx to those states, 5, 10 million people a year, or they could charge people a lot of the pleasure of living or employing there.
Well it's an unknowable gamble. You might also be locking in an excessively high rate. The flexible approach of continuously re-mortgaging would have been the better strategy for the last 10 years with interest rates that went down. In the next 10 years, who knows.
Bill Gates should resign, re-name and re-brand the foundation and bring in a trustee who can sell this stuff to the public.

It has to be a guy who can build a cult of personality around him.

The stuff that the Gates Foundation is doing is unprecedented but they should separate the part where Gates deploys his own money for health (which he should oversee), and the part where political change on a global basis has to be implemented such as the one proposed in this video.

"The GERM team would work under the WHO" . Okay good luck trying to convince people to accept that, and especially with Gates' subzero stage presence and charisma.

All of the non-grant type stuff should be sold to the public by a charismatic guy with a huge cult of personality around him, a skilled politician because this is essentially politics .

It's an arms race of cults out there, nice initiatives are getting eaten alive by those who scream and indoctrinate people the most, hence nice initiatives should stop playing nice and start going on the attack.
Your method of asking was very confrontational, even if you did start it politely. You challenged them to "back your claim" which wasn't their claim.

gopro is this on steroids cause the image quality is so high and file sizes so big you can only really process them at home on a desktop. so do all this work and then take it home, upload to computer, and then maybe process it. i still have hundreds of gigs of footage i haven’t had the heart to throw away yet but also likely won’t review again

proud owner of gopro karma and like 5 gopro cameras. the karma drone i have a fraction of the amount of content from compared to the cameras because it’s that much harder

good example of this is skiing. i would bring my gopro with gimbal and get amazing quality stabilize footage or hold my phone in my hand and get good quality but not amazing. of the videos i watch or share, like 95%+ are from my phone. accessibility is huge
RCV is not nearly the best alternative to FPTP, but ones that are better are much more complex to compute and the average (ahem) citizen would be skeptical of the results.

RCV, to me, is a compromise which meets the "cloneproof" criterion of voting systems, which is the glaring, known-to-all-society-as-awful things about FPTP.

I see RCV as, quite truly, one of the major initiatives we need in this country to make it more democratic. Conspiracy theorists like the one you respond to are enraging. They are not only clearly wrong about something, and have no merit to their assertion, but they are fighting against democracy, not for it.

I very much agree with that statement. It's been a decade ago since I read the article about this - and I'll try to fine and post it after I post what I read.

It costs federal taxpayers around $500 billion dollars a year to file their taxes.

Why can't that be more efficient? That is a hell of alot of money that could be handed back to the taxpayers - or added to the federal budget.

Just to live, people are paying part of that. Just to be incorporated, corps are paying that. Just to file paperwork - and have someone cover it for you.

What if we could use that money to start focusing on solving cancer? Mental health issues. Instead - we pay that money and all we get is some paper that goes through a 1960's mainframe eventually (which nobody understands the IRS mainframes anymore), and risk having them just stress us out more. That doesn't help anyone.

It's a mess to get into. It's a mess if your successful. I'm not so sure this isn't a mechanism to suppress parts of our population (or all of it).

> You have an expected return because you are taking on risk.

I have a dumb question. Most publicly traded companies rarely issue new shares. Why does a company care about its share price? If we are being rewarded for buying and holding their shares based on the growth a company makes quarterly, how does the company benefit from their share price going up? They don't commonly take loans against their shares or issue new shares. I know they have a duty to shareholders but... take Facebook for example. Who cares if their stock is down 60%? How does it affect the companies financials?

> Lots of people run stuff in CI, which isn't exactly that, but is close enough to make it not as big of a pain as it might otherwise be.

CI has a whole lot of variation. On the extreme end, there are people running Jenkins jobs on the same hosts as other jobs, and everyone just pre-installs whatever they need onto the base image for the host (i.e., not even working with a fresh OS image). Moreover, many people are just going to run their CI on amd64 Debian or RHEL and assume it works for all targets.

> That is, this is certainly more hard than Go, but we're not talking about pure Rust at this point, so the fair comparison would be cgo with some C dependencies

My whole thesis here is that Go leans less on FFI than other ecosystems, so you shouldn't need CGo in most cases where you would have to use FFI in other languages. It's a lot easier to get a pure-Go dependency tree than it is a pure-Rust dependency tree. Of course, that's an emergent property derived from weaknesses of Go's FFI, but it ends up being a really nice property in practice.

> But at the same time, it doesn't have to be this way: Zig includes a full C cross toolchain in its compiler, so that you don't have to do this installation. It is, in my opinion, currently best-in-class here, far surpassing both Go and Rust.

I think this is true if you assume that all ecosystems lean on C equally, but it's better by far to depend on C less because including the C cross toolchain doesn't absolve you from humans packaging C dependencies (in which case it's either easy because you neglect a bunch of packages or you test in a hermetic environment a la Nix and it becomes more bothersome than maintaining a pure-$hostLang version of the same package).

It can if you count it from a cost-savings viewpoint.

E.g, if buying costs $x, you pay $y a year for loan, insurance, maintenance, etc, and sell for $x later, and $y per year was less than the cost of renting, you win.

But most people would call that a "good deal" vs a "good investment".

Registering for a country costs money and legal resources, a hurdle most companies are not willing to incur.

My hypothesis is that people are naturally lazy, so they find the easiest path. If recruiters know they have to go through extra loopholes and paperwork (if they don't have a system set up already), your likelihood of being hired decreases significantly. They won't admit this (illegal discrimination), but it is human nature.

A bookie would not care at all what the real likelihood of life on mars would be. A bookie would care about the likelihood that would attract approximately equal bets on both sides of the line, since that way they guarantee that they make money.
