Very interesting, and using all of the latest tech. I was literally dreaming about combining Remix + Cloudflare Workers + Golang the other day. The only problem is Go would need to be compiled into WASM for that [0]. But this would provide one of the best experiences both in terms of development and performance/latency.

The tricky part is, a lot of flood-prone areas tend to also be very economically active overall. Lots of ports on the coasts or along riverbanks which need people to operate and deal with the economic activity of the area, but rivers do sometimes flood and hurricanes will push water inland.

I agree with your stance, but think the metaphor itself is very strained. FWIW I also think the call to action here was "don't be a dick" more than it was "feel bad".

Of course being a dick while advocating for better protections from this kind of scheme is better than feeling bad and doing nothing.

In general I would agree, but as soon as you’re using popstate, you’ve broken that completely: it’s inherently global and will conflict with any other compositions. Because of this, the use of a global click handler will make the application more consistent: either all forms of navigation work, or none; whereas if you use <Link> it gives the impression that you can compose, but the back and forward buttons may be broken.

The History API, as it stands, is global state. That makes it one of the very few places where I say it is better to use a global solution, rather than a precise one.

But do you need regulation? Promises to produce 20% interest out of thin air when banks don't offer a single percent are suspicious enough in my opinion.

It doesn't make sense. If there was a risk-free way to get 20% income without doing anything then people could stop working and live just from their savings.

It is the community that surrounds forth, and the type of hobbyists that are attracted to forth, as well as what they are attracted to.

It’s a bit like saying the only thing anyone ever seems to do with Common Lisp is to make macros which redefine the syntax of language. How frustrating! We’ll if they didn’t want to make use of macros, why were they using lisp in the first place?

Part of the appeal of forth is making your own forth environment. That is the whole answer I think.

Edit: notably there are applications of forth which don’t involve reinventing the wheel, like Postscript and Bitcoin Script. In these domains devs aren’t so likely to engage in this activity.

Okay, let's talk about the Russian connection. I don't actually know that much, so I'm hoping someone here can shine some light. Back when this thing came up for crowdfunding, it felt like a good time to get a toy that was engineered in Russia, made in China, sold everywhere. Now it feels like less of a good idea.

I'm not well equipped to sandbox the PC app and watch its behavior or whatever (and I have no reason to suspect the dev is personally a bad guy), but even something as simple as the shipping list of everyone who bought this, is basically a who's-who of security researchers the world over.

Perhaps, though given that it is already used slightly differently in a very well-known language can also cause hiccups.

For the record, algebraic data types get there names from the fact that the “number” of instances that are under a given type gets added or multiplied together. Let’s say we have a ColorChannel “enum” of R, G, B. That is there are 3 instances ever under this ColorChannel type. Let’s create (with some syntactic sugar) an 8bit unsigned int which has exactly 256 possible instances.

Now create a Pair (ColorChannel, u8) type. This will be a product type, since the number of possible constituents is 3x256.

Let’s look at the often used Option type, which wraps another type. This looks something like
enum Option<T> {
Some(T),
None
}

We have two possible types here, but one can contain T possible types. So Some(T) is basically a product type of 1 other type, resulting in it holding that type’s cardinality, while None has a single instance — the Optional sum type thus has card(T)+1 possible instances.

It's vaguely correlated because you don't value the work of others in general. This means that at some point in your life, others did not value your work and showed you that was perfectly acceptable.
Old Scouting manuals are a gold mine for basics on a very wide variety of knowledge. Much of it is outdated, but I still quite enjoy reading through a replica copy of the original BSA handbook.
DAI works fine. Over-collateralization with a looming threat of liquidation has proven to be resilient against all imaginable forms of market turbulence. It still leans heavily on oracles that are basically run by humans, so there is risk, but the incentives seem to be about right to keep enough people honest.

UST was an obvious bad idea. This exact scenario was warned about over and over again, and Do Kwon did what he could to try to delay the inevitable, but here we are.
Stocks appear to have inherent value if you don't look at the entire planetary economy as a system.

In reality dividends don't distinguish between productive innovation and wealth extraction.

Innovative dividends are derived from the use value of new goods and services which increase freedom of action for the majority of the population. Wealth extraction is derived from zero-sum movements of capital, typically benefiting rentiers at the expense of productive employees, decreasing majority freedom of action.

But even the first can create externalities - which are real physical cost which are not accounted for.

A house that burns down because of climate catastrophe is a real physical loss. A increase in the value of a house created by aggressive speculation is an imaginary gain that only exists because the people in the game believe in it.

Trad economics exists to hide these differences, and make a hallucinatory financial reality which seems more real than the physical world.

Crypto is an obvious symptom of this hallucinatory mindset. Not only are the tokens imaginary, but the environmental costs are catastrophic.

But the rest of the economy really isn't built on firmer ground.

Probably not simply because we are human, but we can minimize some of it.

You wouldn't screen out a person who cannot speak or who cannot speak clearly due to a disability of some sort. You'd use a different method of communication as would everyone else and it could really be the same for them.

On the other hand, if communication was clearly impossible and/or they needed to be understood by the public (customers), the accent may very well mean they cannot do the job and not in the scope of things to teach someone like you can teach expectations about customer service.

Meeting means coming to the same place. But not all meetings are the same.

Here are some reasons for meeting:

1. Working together
2. Sharing information
3. Reaching a consensus
4. Social gathering

Most meetings do not qualify for any of these reasons. And if they do, you probably don’t call them meetings. They’re discussions, collaborations, announcements, or parties; and are usually self-organizing, asynchronous,optional attendance, and flexible scheduling.

But meetings usually have a purpose like:

5. Satisfy the ego of the person organizing the meeting
6. Make sure everyone is in attendance
7. Get the status of everyone’s work
8. Occupy time

You can see that none of these are valuable or meaningful and generally don’t benefit most of the meeting attendees. If there is any purpose or benefit to the group, it can be done asynchronously and individually.
> Interestingly because the supply of land is inelastic its supply curve is a straight vertical line. If you charge the tax directly to tenants they lose say $20,000 in LVT tax. This lowers their demand for land by $20,000.

This might sound good in theory, but it is a very hard sell to say that's how it pans out in practice. You even say: "This doesn't work with anything that has elastic supply like buildings" - so as soon as you put a building (apartments) on the property, this theory goes out the window.

> But it's well understood and accepted in the economic literature that landlords end up paying the tax not tenants.

I don't dispute that there would be some competition among landlords as to how much of their LVT they can pass off to tenants - it wouldn't be 100%. But to claim that there would be no impact to tenants strikes me as hilariously naive.
Yeah so the biggest difference is, all expectations are financial. If you want to just leave for a month and input zero labor, we have no issues with that. You just still have to pay your share of rent.

If we were partners, we'd basically have to have some sort of salary or profit-sharing agreement which would likely require all manner of careful management of expectations. So, for example, say we split profit 1/3, 1/3, 1/3. Well, how do you handle the situation where one partner is not putting out? What if they become less efficient for several months because of personal issues? What if one wants to just go travel for a month? What if one partner wants to be more lenient on their tax write-offs than others are comfortable with? Rather than hash out some complicated agreement with lawyers and all that, we just operate internally as independent companies.

This way, problems are much more contained. If one partner starts fucking off, the others just stop sharing work. There is no "milking their hours" situation because that is reflected in the pre-work price negotiations. There's no unfairness in expectations, because we treat each other as separate entities and let the 'market' figure it out.

Also, everyone has complete skin in the game on their own projects and own clients.

I wouldn't say there are any inherent tax advantages except that you have complete flexibility to make it work for your own person.

> We are now in a world where wealth is being rapidly redistributed from people who don't read the instructions, to those of us who do.

Are the people who "read the instructions" really the ones who benefited here? The main winners here, as far as I can tell, are the employees and creators of Terraform Labs—who benefited from people investing in a project that was doomed to fail—and the people who got in early and out early—who are probably more lucky than smart.

Stocks have value because companies have value. You can buy the whole company and have something with positive value. Buying every outstanding derivative nets out to zero. Buying every cryptocurrency leaves you with something worthless.

Semantics means arguing over definitions, not misunderstanding them.

The difference between positive- and zero-sum systems is unambiguous. We can call participating in the latter, whether by trading cryptocurrencies or derivatives or playing slots, with an intent to profit gambling or wijiwogging or blurlippening, it doesn't matter, the expected outcome is the same.
You’d be surprised how little work can be done by builders, mechanics, farmers, accountants, or doctors in meetings. Experts and creators actually need time to actually work and time to focus on their work.
Since you seem to have some insight into this, I interviewed a former Heroku eng a while back and he said that they deploy Heroku infra on Heroku, essentially dogfooding their own product. I also see a lot of claims that Heroku has essentially stagnated on features. I'm curious how do internal teams reconcile this (do they just work around the stagnation?) and is there a layer that is a choke point for product improvement that also affects to internal teams (if so that would seem demoralizing)?

Yes, in practice it’s actually way more complex than I gestured at. The Google bias toolkit I linked does discuss in much more detail, but I am not a data scientist and haven’t used it; I’d be interested in expert opinions.

Those weren't AAA mortgage securities that went bust in 2008, though some were fraudulently marketed as such. They were liar loans on second-rate properties chopped up into a bunch of tiny pieces and re-sold, based on the notion that real estate would only go up forever, so if people failed to pay the lender would foreclose and own real estate with more value than the original loan.

Seems similar to some methods of stabilizing a "stablecoin": back it by a traditional cryptocoin and assume that this other coin can only go up.

People who had only bank deposits didn't lose anything.
It's certainly a fun game, but does that mean if I decide my property is worth $100,000, accurate or not, I am forced to sell it just because someone comes along and decides they want to buy it? Also, is this a game that happens every year to allow for appreciation?

For a realistic implementation, why not just use the fact that the landowner already decided what the value their land has when they purchased it and/or paid people to develop it. Why not just use those values?

there was seemingly no logical reason to do any of this-- the product was at an early stage with nearly no traffic. even if the product were to become immensely successful, the traffic would probably never require more than a single box.

but none of this seemed to matter. nor did the considerable amount of time making things just work. the ceo, who was at one point a technical engineer mind you, just wanted to be able to say his stuff ran on aws

situations like this are probably more common than you would think. it's purely a brand recognition thing for them
> Since all taxes are ultimately borne by land ...

Objection, your honor. Assumes facts not in evidence.

How is income tax ultimately borne by land? Sales tax? Inheritance tax? Gasoline tax? Corporate income tax on corporations like SpaceX, Goldman Sachs, and Intel?

"Ultimately borne by land" may have made sense a century or three ago, when (almost) all income ultimately came from the land. That's not the world we live in any longer.
