This would also jack up the prices a huge amount, wealth is anything that people want where there's not enough to go around.

By keeping people out, this will actually increase the scarcity and drive up "prices" even more. Your "big sum of money" acknowledges as much.

So this is a terrible, unfair idea. And if we were to ever implement such a scheme, the only way to make it remotely fair would to heavily heavily tax this wealth, perhaps by charging existing residents a highly monthly rent to stay, and for those that get a grandfathered-in prize, they should have to pay a large amount of capital gains.
Why measure it by productivity? I mean it is one measure, but far from the most important and probably has very little to do with anyone's attraction to VR as a medium. And just stick with FLOSS software and you neither have to worry about lockin/monitization nor do you have to worry about surveillance.
Most people blindly trust the binaries they download from the internet; open source still has value despite this. In an ideal world this value would never be realized (or at least forking or compiling from source aspects of it). Similarly I'd argue that in an ideal world Web 3.0 would have "exactly zero value". But if a person or communities threat model includes web 3.0 style decentralization then who am I to stop them.

This is a wonderful quote! Is it yours?

I think you’ve captured the problem perfectly, but I’m not sure democracy is the solution. Democracies don’t seems capable of distributing rewards in any sensible way. I think Plato’s philosopher kings may be the best we can do.

That's only due to the rationing system that California has already implemented by having a housing shortage. We only give places to those with the highest amounts of money, so California is kicking out its children year after year.
> Even in the bay area the cost savings for high density units are substantial.

If that were the case, than how do we arrive at the article's headline of ~$1M per unit? Affordable housing is synonymous with high density so I'm failing to see how your "high density reduces cost" premise holds true when the main conclusions of the article show the opposite. Where are all the savings at $1M per unit?
100% true. Poorly configured anything puts you into a terrible situation. If you setup a firewall and do a DENY ALL or ALLOW ALL blindly, you're going to have a bad time.

But IN GENERAL, properly configured SSO (heck, the defaults for most of the SSO providers) makes for a better user experience while increasing security.
Yeah it just seems to chalk it up to chance, as in you can't take ownership of your deeds because it was just "luck". To me luck is buying a lottery ticket. A rocket doesn't fly on luck, it's planning, calculations, it's not "bad luck" something went wrong and they figure out what it was.

Seriously. I've been doing Linux Systems work for over 20 years. I've written code at one level or another on over 15 languages (scripting, macro and compiled) plus various forms of markdown. 90% of it I learned on the job, even on the fly. I regularly go in to a place ostensibly for one thing, and end up their SME on something else.

Do I remember all the details of every language and stack that I've touched? Hell no! But there are only so many ways to do a for loop or if-then set up. There are only a few flavors of regex out there. Anything more I just look it up. Part of being a senior is knowing what to look up.

What makes me a senior is my ability to learn on the fly, then become an SME, on whatever obscure stack you have. I will never know all of it coming in - there's just too much stuff out there. But there's very little that is so bad that I can't work with it in a few weeks.

But I've been rejected from jobs as "not technical enough" because I didn't have recent, full time, on the tip of my brain, coding to the algorithm and obscure function level in their preferred language "X". It just meant I hadn't coded in "X" in the last month. They though the fact that I didn't do obscure fanciness without looking things up meant I didn't know anything. I wanted to scream and say "No, damnit, I just haven't coded in that for two years, I don't have an eidetic memory."

This is part of why I hate whiteboards and take home crap. I do poorly at them, then get lowballed by smug jerks who think that defines what I know and have done.
> My claim: Most proponents of “diversity” do not value diversity. In fact, they are passionately against diversity.

Very accurate. Instead the proponents of so-called 'Diversity' really are segregating others. Suggesting or even saying 'people of color' is no different to saying 'colored people'. Both phrases are nonsensical and creates an us vs them battle.

This pretending to care about 'Diversity' is quite a cult and a trojan horse for silencing those who disagree with the pretending.
I feel you're falling in exactly the same trap as the article of assuming that the "feeling" is a property of the analytical machinery of our brains rather than gaining it's perceived complexity as an effect of being combined with that while being separate.

It seems wildly presumptuous to assume that lack of ability to communicate some level of awareness necessarily implies the awareness itself is lacking.

It could be, but we don't know, because we don't know what lies at the core of the subjective experience.

We don't even have a way of assessing what has and does not have consciousness.

The metadata service is a big issue. When you pair EC2 with common, off-the-shelf software, you can end up inadvertently allowing requests to EC2's metadata service. That allows an attacker to gain the same privileges as the EC2 instance they're hitting, which often means they can access resources like private S3 buckets.

While the metadata service isn't technically a vulnerability, it's poorly designed. Not enough thought went into its security, but too much relies on it for them to disable the current version overnight. Any changes are going to take many years.
Yes but there is a way to fire anyone who sets an arbitrarily high LVT, which is why the OP at the root of this comment thread called a very high LVT a politically unserious proposal (emphasis mine) and I agree with that.

Property taxes do go into the cost of business by the way; and that would be true for an LVT as well. The land itself may be inelastic but that isn’t necessarily true of the products and services that are produced on it.

Everything is close by double digits if you count by percentage points. I.e. there are 65% of households living in their own house at this time [1] so the renters are close by 16% to outnumber owners. Even if there had been 99% ownership rate the renters would have been still close by double digits (50%) to outnumbering owners.

It's more prudent to look at the ratio of owners and renters, which is 1.85:1, there are almost twice as many owner households than renters.

The Wikipedia HEPA article[1] says it's actually a reaction to people doing that -- some companies advertise "HEPA-type" or "HEPA-style", and so companies with actual HEPA filters market them as "True HEPA". It's a race to the bottom.

Please provide a source for your claim.
I smiled reading your comment. You seem like a good partner and father. Keep up the good work.
True HEPA means exactly what it says: HEPA as defined by the US EPA.

E12 is NOT a HEPA filter. Which is why it's called E12. HEPA starts at H13 and H14. This is right in the wikipedia page TFA links to:

> The specification used in the European Union: European Standard EN 1822-1:2009, from which ISO 29463 is derived, defines several classes of filters by their retention at the given most penetrating particle size (MPPS): Efficient Particulate Air filters (EPA), HEPA and Ultra Low Particulate Air filters (ULPA).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HEPA#Specifications

So the IKEA filter is an Efficient Particulate Air filter, but not a HEPA filter.

There is nothing wrong with The Wirecutter's review. TFA's allegation that The Wirecutter dismissed the IKEA filter because they don't get an affiliate fee from IKEA is without evidence or merit. The Wirecutter does in fact recommend other IKEA products:

The transportation could be done via electric vehicles. The lighting and electronics could itself be powered by greener sources. Maybe not for the first new solar farm constructed, but over time as the infrastructure was built out. And the tax would incentivize the building of that infrastructure.

Let me ask: do you think it's possible in a literal sense for society to emit greenhouse gases?

If it's not possible, your argument makes sense to me. But if it is possible, we should financially reward people who make greener choices.
I view Jira as the embodiment of the misguided software engineering practice of trying to generalize and abstract too high level of a task of something like "project management" and distill it down into one tool.

While the Golden perfect abstraction handed down for the heavens by the gods is what you seek, it ultimately passes down complexity to end users through its generic approach. You need to create opinions within the generic world and then your team needs to understand Jira's abstraction combined with the opinion your company builds around it that's probably not documented.

The end result is unless you're running a large project that really requires the functionality possible in Jira where creating the overhead or overloading something simpler isn't practical, then you're probably better off using something simpler and more opinionated--a nice simple solid framework to keep everyone on track.
I know it doesn't make you feel any better but that size of a home for family of 4 in Europe would be absolutely normal.
For me it sounds like the topic is not even about "affordable housing" here anymore.
I realize company-wide planning is extremely hard, especially when there are many inter-dependencies that can block entire departments if a single deadline slips. But in my experience, the only thing that Jira brings to the table is the ability to document, in a centralized place, the pieces of work that need to be done, and what stage they are currently in. In my field, anything software related is really hard to estimate accurately, which makes the whole aggregate estimation in Jira not only worthless, but actively harmful because management will treat it as truth. We could replace Jira with a big whiteboard of TODOs and we'd likely get things done faster, and with higher quality. My favorite excerpt from the site:

Not sure if 1 hour 30 minutes before technical assignment makes sense - maybe 15 min with hr, then assignment - then more face time?

I agree with general sentiment that 4 hour assignment doesn't square well with "senior". Maybe take home assignment (look over for 1 hour give or take) then 1-2 hour technical/architectural discussion with technical team lead? Preferably with a real problem recently encountered and solved by the team?

Twitter's mobile problem isn't specific to Safari. The initial load of any tweet on my Android Firefox is ~20 seconds. Every subsequent action takes at least a full second.

Child porn is an excuse. Every site above a certain size will have some, no matter how good their filtering. And sometimes even small sites when they come under attack. Then whoever wants to get rid of the site for unrelated reasons points to it, says "It has child porn", and no matter how quickly it is removed after reported, or how much effort the admins spend removing it, "it has child porn" is technically true, and gives whoever wanted to remove the site the excuse to do so.

It's nothing more than ammo that corporations use against each other in the fight for dominance, or sometimes, with the help of cooperative media, against politically disfavored sites like 4chan. In all my time browsing 4chan, I have not once seen child porn, though I did see posts 404'd for having contained child porn. Yet despite their efforts, any time the media talks about 4chan, they will introduce it in the same breath as child porn.

In short, child porn has become nothing but a tool for corporations fighting for dominance, or a fnord to tell the masses to stay away. And in all of this no-one gives a crap about the children, since they rarely spend even a word talking about tracking down the uploaders or creators of said porn (i.e. they say a site "has child porn", but not how fast it is removed, or if the site gives the IP of child-porn uploaders to the police, or anything beyond trying to establish in the viewer a bad site <-> child porn association).
Partial mitigation. It's not SSRF "proof" but I suppose nothing really is.

Ok so I was thinking about this as well while I was at one of those modern mobile banks.

With closed source apps — as soon as you write for the JVM or in JS (i.e. Android and Web), you’re exposing the inner workings of your app… more or less.
With C/C++ and similar stacks (read: Desktop or iOS or native parts of Android), one could argue that you expose less. But still, all code on clients is exposed, theoretically, so either way I don’t believe that open code itself would be much more problematic than what code is today in closed source apps. We did a bunch of things that are considered safety measures, and those could be coded into an OSS app as well.

But then, there is network encryption, potential implementations of cert pinning, integrations with other services/tools, secret keys, local storage, databases, and many other things that might be hard to lock down completely or even audit for security risks… this was the really tough part I believed. But maybe it’s just my knowledge gap, that’s fair as well.

In the end, my thinking was “omg I’d miss something for sure, and it would be easy for hackers to kill the project and steal everything”… and therefore OSS is not the way to go. I’m more confident nowadays. But then again, cryptocurrencies are open for the most part… so that’s an interesting counter-argument I guess. (:

I wonder what others think. I also wonder if there are open tools or checklists for security audits…

So there are multiple layers of rights ownership in music, and multiple ways to license music.

There are songs that may have 10+ different owners of specific rights (author, composer, singer, recording, distribution, exclusive vs non-exclusive, regional vs national vs international).

With a smart contracts, you can abstract a ton of the lawyer-y stuff. Smart contracts are also good for indie, in terms of licensing samples.

A lot of how to interpret this article is from the context you're viewing it in. You, personally, can be a full-stack developer with complex stacks if you're working at it. If you're someone who's building a team, requiring deep knowledge of all tiers is going to make it incredibly hard to hire in terms of both people who have all those skills, and more importantly people who want to use all those skills.
> Renters are close to out-numbering non-renters by double digits.

This didn't sound right to me - according to the census bureau there are nearly twice as many owners as renters in America (1). So I'm not sure what discrepency you're pointing out there.

And anecdotally there was an explosion in demand last year while interest rates were crazy low and the rate of first time home purchasing was similarly crazy in my area. It was very easy for people to get the money to buy homes, but there was a shortage of housing stock.

A practice dating back to MySpace, or even before it.

Facebook used to do the same "yo wait, you need to send us a photo of yourself to verify the account". You could send... any selfies, even ones already uploaded to the account.

The people or algos doing the verification didn't give a fuck/weren't advanced enough and the accounts could be verified with a high success rate, you could even retry with different photos.

Maybe they improved that.

Certainly you couldn't do it like a straight-up visa policy, but you could probably achieve something very similar by giving them strongly unfavorable property taxes and so on.
Most sites have a preset for the major identity providers, Okta, Microsoft, OneLogin, etc. The ones who want to be nice will also have a generic "SAML" option allowing connections to just about anything - but that's when the home grown solution pain shows up.

But you can support just 5ish SAML IDP's and get a large majority of the market and have effectively no ongoing support issues because its really well known (and well documented) how to set them up.
> If I understand it correctly, LVT would allow people to state what they think their property is worth and pay taxes accordingly. They could put down any value but anyone could buy it from them at that value.

That's one approach. Another is for property appraisers to determine the land value - something which is already pretty commonly done.

> How could you even say the property is yours?

It never was. All land "ownership" consists of borrowing a portion of a nation-state's sovereign territory. LVT makes that explicit, requiring land "owners" to pay what's actually due to society (rather than a tiny fraction thereof as is the status quo).

And most people do not use crypto? I don't see how the comparison to payment processing companies built on-top of the financial infrastructure is relevant, when bare-metal level of crypto acts most like wiring / transfering money between banks.

And no, a wire transfer or intra-bank transfer is typically not reversed. Even for big-names, like Linus, it is not so simple and requires personal connections with industry insiders to even get simple cases of fraud reversed.
