> Your source effectively says the opposite

It's saying what is customary and possible. The landlord does not have to renew, I think that is quite clear from what was written in that article.

> Even the fixed terms for non-commercial use are generally very long

Because they have a land tax and a property tax. I didn't suggest to use Japan's law verbatim, nor would I, their system has a lot of unwanted side effects but it does encourage a lot of building.

> I bid the NPV of the lease + the NPV of the land after the lease. If you outbid me, you're taking an economic loss. I can even afford to overbid a little, because I'm just paying a small percentage of my bid.

Yes, but you didn't get to sign over that lease because I outbid you and it's now my land and the lease will not go forward because, to quote myself:

> 1 point by brigandish 21 hours ago | parent | context | favorite | on: High property taxes are good

Any law will need provisions to prevent corrupt practices. Whether that is easy or difficult should be taken into account, but in this case I don't see the difficulty, because

a) Like Japan's lease law[1], it would be possible (and preferable) to limit lease periods

b) As I pointed out at the start, someone else can buy the land at at a very low price.

> However, if someone bids on the land for that price you must sell.

So even if you follow that avoidance strategy, I'm going to buy your land on the cheap. Perhaps I'll have to raise the tax in the meantime without the comparable rent coming in because of the lease agreement you set, but I get your buildings at the end so that's basically become a mortgage.

Of course, that possibility could be removed by a rule like having a period where a lease is in the offing where prospective buyers can buy and cancel the lease, punishing those setting low rates.

Your calculations are moot.
> Just because there exists valid criticism of a thing, does not mean all criticism of it are valid

But in this case the valid criticism is just being fully acknowledged, rather than falsely extending the validity to all criticism.
> Building a Vue app on my Windows laptop (i7-9750H 64GB RAM) takes ~35s in WSL

I would look into improving your build before buying new hardware. I'm not at all familiar with Vue but I have been working on a large monorepo based on NW which contains 5 large Angular projects and one large React project (not my choice to combine them).

The initial build probably take 20s but subsequent changes take <1s to the point that HMR feels instant. My laptop specs are similar to yours except only 16gb ram. This is a large Typescript project so I cannot understand what kind of monster would take 32s for incremental builds. There's probably some major improvements to be gained by updating the build (e.g. switch to ESBuild).

The IMF predicts the Russian economy will shrink by 6% in 2022. That's not what I'd call an implosion. The sanctions will obviously have long term effects but the reports of Russia's imminent economic collapse are greatly exaggerated.

I'm sorry, isn't much of Foreign Policy opinion pieces? I mean, it wouldn't be difficult to find pieces that make diametrically opposing claims. I don't understand why you'd consider it a credible source.
I think it is a totally impracticable solution. I’m asking in more of a hypothetical sense. As another replied points out, scientists would just find a place where funding was available.
that reminds about the history of amateur and professional sports, including Olympics, at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century - aristocrats wanted to preserve and cultivate the "pure" sports spirit and thus were pushing for amateur sports and against payments to the sportsmen, while regular people to be able to seriously play sports needed to make a living out of it.
Take it from my personal experience, Hacker Lab won't be saved. There are no mysterious philanthropists or charities that throw their money or resources behind unsustainable hackerspaces or startup community resources. So many tech spaces and even meetups died in the past 5-6 years, and no white knights came to save the day. Indeed, in many cases, no one could be bothered to lift a finger to help, even those who were supportive in the past, when it suited their own needs. Hackerspaces and coworking spaces were all the rage, fad, and a dime a dozen in every city in the 2012-2019 pre-COVID startup cycle. But post-COVID, and even with a few frauds that poisoned the well, these fads go as all fads go.

In The West (and certainly much more so in many Eastern traditions) the guiding principle has always roughly centered around what Tertuillian summed up as "render the image of Caesar, which is on the coin, to Caesar, and the image of God, which is on man, to God; so as to render to Caesar indeed money, to God yourself."

This idea to arbitrarily opt-out of the earthly authorities is a figment of internet anarchism. I'd honestly like to hear which historical thinker or regime suggests otherwise.

I feel like half the comments here about "facebook dying" and how "facebook can't compete with tiktok" are missing the big picture about facebook.

For a lot of people, facebook basically is the internet. The same way AOL was a long time ago. Everyone they want to talk to as they go about their day is there. Basically every business in the US that bothers with an online presence at all either has a facebook page or exclusively has a facebook page. Craigslist is being eaten by facebook marketplace. Even Facebook messenger is still a wildly successful chat app and it's like... their 3rd or 4th-place messaging platform.

Facebook has become a sort of digital town square that is a pretty significant part of the economy; the real-world brick-and-mortar economy. Tiktok and instagram are much more recreational.
On Mullvad's end, they also don't have to keep track of which gift card was used with which account, they just have to mark off that gift card as spent and credit the account, unlike payment methods where they have to retain billing-to-account linkage.
What is truly amazing is all our devices have been hampered by copyright laws and competing interests. On my iPhone I can’t load a YouTube song then switch over to Snapchat and start a video call while listening to that song. That is just one example. There are many many more. But we have been trained to thing <40% is the normal. This is why for years I followed the jailbreak scene because there was so many cool features one could get by jailbreaking that just wasn’t offered to normal users.

This is through rose-coloured glasses because I was at the right age for Seinfeld to be televised during my defining youth period - where music, movies, TV shows, etc. are remembered fondly forever.

I've recently watched a few Seinfeld episodes again, after a long Seinfeld-hiatus and a lot of TV experience throughout that time, and Seinfeld as a TV show holds up magnificently today. The density and weaving of the story-arcs is unbelievably clever, but also consistently unbelievably clever through so many episodes.

Seinfeld makes most other TV shows seem boringly linear, even 20-odd years later.

Rick and Morty is competitive with Seinfeld on density of story-arc, and that's saying something.

(all of this is subjective, and, as I disclaimed above, through my rose-coloured glasses memory of Seinfeld)
Well said. I appreciate the disruptive, philosophical, or societal-norm breaking comedians - but Jerry stuck to his bit and executes it well. I also really appreciated his respect for the art of comedy after watching his 'comedians in cars getting coffee' series. I imagine the Seinfeld show will stream into perpetuity. I still watch it occasionally and laugh despite being able to quote every line.
Interesting. Yeah it's a few different exchanges + banks. The dependency on platforms is the problem here.
The article addresses that. They found clusters not just at the market, but (multiple) clusters specifically in the wildlife-selling section of the market.

It really is weird, isn't it? To have what was essentially a solved problem 10 years ago become... what you described.

On Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/LinkedIn, I still have tons of people I'd be interesting in passively keeping up with. Maybe even actively, sometimes. But all that latent sociality is increasingly just dead out of the gate, seeing as I no longer use any of those platforms regularly.

My closest friends, the ones I will actually put in effort to talk to? Group chat. The polar opposite of the public social media ecosystem that we used to have. A closed, private space that admits no outsiders, marketers, or clout chasers, but strongly discourages developing relationships with new people or expanding one's horizons.

Facebook is where my older relatives social network. As soon as it became a place where people over 40 went, it lost its appeal to the young people that Facebook is really after.
Assuming they actually break ground on it. I think it will just be millions wasted on concept art.
I'll admit that I deleted my Facebook account years ago, and thus haven't seen what this redesign looks like, but this sounds like a baffling move. Facebook has been less and less popular with the younger crowd; and is now mainly associated as a place for older generations, who like use it primarily as a way to keep track of friends and family and secondarily as a way to see the news. I can't see the "Tiktok-ification" of their platform as being successful at all. My grandmother wants to see pictures of their neighbor's holidays, not scroll through the antics of kids she doesn't know. Again, the article doesn't give any screenshots, but expanding the feed pool to encompass the whole world is the exact opposite of why people are still sticking around.
Logistics (moving trucks with supply, building FOBs, resupplying troops, etc) are essential in Squad. It's a multiplayer action game and the closer that I got to "I feel like I'm in a modern combat and suffering from PTSD." You may also like Foxtrot, it visually isn't realistic but economy and logistics are everything. And Wargame: Red Dragon which is a RTS game and the closer that I got to understanding modern combat meta, equipment and tactics.

War is sad but it's funny that many of the things that I saw on Wargame are also happening on the Russia x Ukraine war. Like suicidal helo rushes, combats quickly protracting, bloody urban combats, advanced tanks being wrecked by cheap ATGM, artillery spam, counter-artillery duels and ammo reserves quickly running out. Though no game ever gets closer to the scale that is real war.

Don't worry the advantage diminishes as you continue with your classes. Eventually, you even out with them and it becomes all about what you learn in the class.

What I should have done different.

Career:

-Learn to better network

-Understand that tech skills are not your sole path to advancement in a company. Better Social skills will beat those by a mile.

-You can advance your career faster by switching jobs.

-Don't be afraid to let people know how important you are to a company. If you don't no one else will either.

-Make a career plan for the next 1,3,5,10yrs. Review every year, at least. If you can't do it alone find someone. Even if you have to pay. Don't just plan execute too.

Very interesting to read this. I am a DnB DJ and eventhough I'm hearing impaired, I can still beat match because the snappy snare hits and sub bassline flows through me. It is also the optimal range of my hearing. Everything above 1Khz is practically gone. I also found it easier to communicate in clubs because everybody was on the same level of not hearing because of how loud the sound systems are. It put us on an even playing field, with one advantage. We have more practice to lip read others and pick up on body language.

You mean when the pro Russian puppet was ousted for going back on joining the EU and ran away to his masters in Russia?.

> Ideas that Russia wants to conquer Europe or restore USSR are idiotic and paranoid.

Then the Russians are idiotic and paranoid because it’s pretty much the exact rhetoric that they are putting out.

They keep saying they can take Poland if they want to and that Poland is next, if that’s not about the USSR what is it about?.

> What Russia wants is for US/NATO to get the heck away from its borders -- as was promised when USSR dissolved.

This was a promise that was never made.

What was said is it sounds like bullshit spouted by investors in a pidgin language they made up. Derogatory intent seems doubtful.

TIL creole can be a trigger word. I've only heard it used as "a creole language" and have never even heard anyone use the word relating to its original meaning (though I was vaguely aware of it). Personally, I'm more likely to use the word "creole" than "pidgin language", not sure about others though.

These instances have a baseline bandwidth. To meet additional demand, they can use a network I/O credit mechanism to burst beyond their baseline bandwidth. Instances can use burst bandwidth for a limited time, typically from 5 to 60 minutes, depending on the instance size.

I don't know anything about their situation but if they have rent control then that could be a good reason why they haven't been pushed out. NYC in the 70s was pretty famous for giving artists a great deal on rent control lofts and such since they had all kinds of derelict buildings after industry left.
Facebook can not only survive, but thrive if it fires 95% of it's employees and goes git checkout facebook from 5-10 years ago.

That's all it has to do to be a great, profitable, thriving business.

But that's not what 95% of the employees at facebook want, for obvious reasons :)

It's that classic tragedy of the commons - what a business school/marketing/advertising graduate wants is always at odds with what's good for the rest of society.
Similarly, I have my desk lamp outfitted with Hue lights controlled via HomeKit, which always turn on 15 minutes before work and turn off at the usual time I clock out plus 15 minutes, and for the days I close up in time, I make it an absolute habit to turn them off before heading back upstairs to be with family.

It takes commitment to consistency, but it’s extremely effective for me to associate the light switch to my work day.
For those of us in families that are spread over the globe in a dozen time zones and separated in different countries, what other methods of connection even come close to social media? Facebook (and the rest) have provided a way for us to vicariously experience glimpses into each other's lives and in many cases reconnect with people who we never would have otherwise.
I always thought Facebook sat at a very awkward, uncanny-valley type position on the social media spectrum. On the one hand it doesn't feel (or is) private or personal. The feed mechanic doesn't really make for great conversations and everything is half public, the line between friends and other people isn't that clear, and so on.

Chat platforms like Telegram/Discord/Whatsapp and TikTok clearly lean into one direction (albeit on opposite ends of the spectrum). TikTok tends to be a mile wide and an inch deep but at least it leverages what the internet is good at, and chat apps do the reverse.

I think that bifurcation is just happening in general, not just on social media apps. There's more interest in private spaces as well as mass popular culture but the middle-ground isn't that appealing any more.

My point is you should dispute the original claim that it is life or death for Facebook instead of the subcomment running with that theory.

That's just straight up fraud. It would be fairly easy to prove in court given Google has the truth and those records would be available via legal discovery.
For sure... but I wonder just how many people are actually doing that vs mindless scrolling, even on FB.

Especially when it seems these companies are doing everything they can to emulate tiktok.

Again, people can value even mindless scrolling for 6 hours a day. My OP was more about how not even 10 years ago, having quick and mindless content spoon-fed to you was seen as a satirical exaggeration of future humans. We're much closer to that now than we were 10 years ago.
