If the corporation is still giving a good service then libertarians like it. If it acts as a monopolist, then libertarians would dislike it and look for alternatives in the free market. That's why libertarians want a free market, to be able to do that when there's natural monopolies.

If you use the government to split up the big corporation, you're not an anarchist.

Walking is simpler and easier in most cases though. I find that the issue is more about how far people are capable of walking (e.g. fitness levels in much of Europe and Asia are better) and the fact that most people here have walked long distances from a young age.
I remember achieving some quite good results when implementing a simple „fuzzyesque“ search for some B2B e-commerce system a few years back, but what hit us hard was the german dictionary used for stemming for the ts_vector index. The original one coming with psql did not support german compound words correctly and the „fix“ was to import a 3rd party one. I learned the hard ways that this comes at the cost of Postgres loading the dictionary every time a new connection uses the index. Running a simple, small php app that could not reuse/pool connections, every search query done was coming in on a clean connection and hit a >1s fee for having to load the dict.

iirc pgbouncer saved the day there.

Otherwise it worked fine.

> Tax everyone according to the value of the unimproved value of their land.

Why ?

How do you figure the unimproved value of land ?

There is so much land in this country why do we have to fight over the coastal regions ?

Why not incentivize building out other areas and creating population hubs ?

Everything but the technical stuff. Programming comes easily once I know what software I'm trying to write and everyone has clear expectations about the outcome and timeline. Getting to agreement on that, muddling through agile planning processes, micro-managed ticket boards, story points discussed in endless meetings, endless bikeshedding on side details, ridiculous procedural red-tape, and shifting priorities from clueless management ... it all sucks the joy out of programming and made it hard for me to even open an editor some days.

I don't think you know what cheap means.

I, and most people, don't have $10,000 to spend, and even that wouldn't be nearly enough to build a house, let alone buy a cheap lot of land, let alone install a septic system and a well, post for gas and maintenance for my car, all while incurring the time cost of living farther from work.

I would doubt we will ever know with certainty if the lab was involved or not.

With respect to where did the infection come from if we all agree it spread from the market, what I can say living on a farm is that viruses and bad ones can and do mutate and leap between humans and other animals.

Origin in the lab or market aside, for the sake of humanity these types of unsanitary conditions of animals and people in close proximity needs to end as does the notion of eating inadequately prepared and cooked bush meat.

Ah sure. Old lady living in the house she bought 50 years ago will have to pay insanely high land tax because now it's red hot city location, what 50 years ago used to be suburbs.

Very clever idea.

Taxation was never a solution to any problem. It was a way to mask the problem in a very populist way. Taxation purpose was a redistribution from 'evil crooks' to poor, unlucky people.

The problem with Taxation always was that the middle class was paying this because the rich ones had plenty of solutions not to pay including with moving to an another country

Ah no the migration I was referring to is `Applicative`: I just upgraded our "primary" Nix `devShell` to use `9.2.4` (`RecordDotSyntax` is finally here, may the thousand-year reign of the Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler commence! /s) and it's hitting me with deprecation notices about `return = ...` rather than `return = pure` and/or omitting and explicit `return`. Which makes sense, the rationale is at https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/proposal/monad-of....

I remember when I was working on `Haxl` at FB in like, 2015 or 2016, it needed `ApplicativeDo` and that was like, quite the novelty in industrial Haskell (I think it was already a no-brainer to the research/OSS/etc. crowd). So mainstreaming `Applicative` into the effects hierarchy has been going on for 6 or 7 years that I know about, and I bet a lot longer than that (the paper introducing `Applicative` is from 2008: https://www.staff.city.ac.uk/~ross/papers/Applicative.html).

Without the hardware being open, how do you prove this? In a past life I concluded and argued that there's no point in assuming hardware tells the truth. You have to expect the worst and have a plan for handling it, even if that plan is giving up and failing.

Importantly this means you can't claim stronger semantics around e.g. atomicity. You can certainly work around most if not all issues, using redundancy, verification and distribution. But in isolation you cannot even properly observe extreme failure scenarios, you can only reduce their probability, and even that is limited.

I think that also highlights that there's an investment class outside of the reach of normal citizens.

If people can't pay to own property because it's easier for regulators and mega-owners to only have to deal with bulk-owners, then there's not a human-class. One cause is not enough resources in local government. Shrinking the abilities of the public servants until offices become autocratic, oligarchic hellholes is a long-favored strategy in consolidating authority.

We're in an era that has to balance a lot of novel challenges, but they have seemed to tip in the favor of the few over the many for the past generation or two.
People do not defend themselves by chasing after and repeatedly attacking a stranger.
No. Renters are paying for the value of the land and the improvements. If the rental price of the apartment is above that, they won't pay it and find another place. If there are no places they will go homeless. Since landlords are already charging for this value, an increase of taxes does not increase the rents.

> every property owner isn't going to operate at a loss

So they will then sell. But who would buy at current prices? The main effect of a change in tax rate is a one-time change in the market price of the property. Someone won't be under water if the property was $1. The market will find a new clearing price.

I'm sympathetic to current owners, and this is why I prefer to combine the implementation of the Land Value Tax with a Land Tax credit equal to the existing value of the land to the deed owner. This will allow everyone to be net neutral over the transition period, and would even be net positive as the risk of ones property value dropping in recessions would go away.
> What you say is true... but that's also why American academics is widely viewed as corrupt and unproductive, ridden with fraudulent con artists, and falling into the same kind of failure mode seen in, for example, Soviet science under the regime of Lysenko.

Citation needed. I'm a former academic, and seldom a defender, and I entirely dispute this statement. American academia is widely considered the international leader by any ranking I'm aware of.

For some data, consider the rankings of international universities: https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/ra...

Or, by largest concentration of highly cited researchers: https://clarivate.com/blog/highly-cited-researchers-2021-how...

Bottom line: the American academy isn't perfect, but it's far from fraudulent, as the parent alleged.
Great tip! I’ll give a FF a try. Haven’t used it in ages due to performance issues on Mac.
I like a system whereby individuals can own between one and a bit and three somewhere (including provision for commercial property where large facilities need to rent many people's fungible extra-property rights in some way). Mentioning 100% tax is just to head off idiotic straw men about passing the tax on to renters.

Also allowing benefiting from or even rent seeking on only the increased value of very recent property improvements (like taxing at the value it held 5 years ago with some buy-or-sell challenge type provision to prevent undervaluing).
Tax land value appreciation, that is the rent seeking part of the equation. You want to incentivize developers to create more units, you want to discourage people buying units hoping to bank on appreciation.

(checks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_B._Spencer)

Richard Bertrand Spencer (born May 1978) is an American neo-Nazi, antisemitic conspiracy theorist, and white supremacist.

Hmm...

(...) Spencer has advocated for the enslavement of Haitians by Whites and the ethnic cleansing of racial minorities from the United States, additionally expressing admiration for the political tactics of American Nazi Party founder George Lincoln Rockwell. He was a featured speaker at the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, among other neo-Nazi rallies that Spencer has headlined.

Smells like Nazi to me.
That seems to me like it's not on the right abstraction layer, the drain flag sounds like it's just a barrier for the kernel's threadpool.
"Leave your friends and family, abandon the area that you grew up in for 30 years" is not really practical advice. Maybe it works for you, but it does not for other people.

You are right about this though: it is supply and demand. And currently there is a lot of regulatory capture on the supply side. Meanwhile there are new investment vehicles on the demand side.

I don't know what the solution is, but when I watch my local news, not a week goes by that I don't see a headline about a developer trying to build some high density housing, but local residents show up to some board meeting and complain about it until they reduce the density. The reasons given make no sense. "It's not part of our community plan"... So change the plan??
I'm interested in how it's a kind of casserole, if you can expand on that (en anglaise svp!)?

English Wikipedia cocotte disambiguation suggests French oven, which redirects to Dutch oven, which is just what Americans call a casserole.

Is it the enamelling, which Wikipedia suggests is sometimes used as a distinguishing feature between 'Dutch' and 'French' ovens? (I've (British) never heard of the latter before.)

Apparently a cocotte is also an 'elegant prostitute'/courtesan, meaning 'small child' before that. So is a cocotte a small casserole, peut être?
> But I call b.s. on that. Residents would be able to afford new construction and maintenance if those things had lower price pressure.

Including those on minimum wage? Including secondary education students who have no income? Including (international/visiting) folks on a (consulting) contract that may not want to settle in the location?

There are many situations in which rental housing is the solution for people.

> They should need to do a substantially better job at maintaining and increasing the value of real estate to justify owning it instead of a resident.

"Increasing the value of real estate" is not the only metric to judge things by. Proving a valuable service to the public is another.

I am not asking anything. For the record, I don’t think there is anything wrong with being a spiritual person or adhering to a religion.

However, to hijack your flat earth example, it was the dogmatic, institutionalised religion which kept that world view alive for so long in the face of contradicting evidence.

That is why religion (the institution) is inherently a tool of stagnation, repression and regression. While science (the institution) can at times seem that way as well, the scientific method is ultimately the tool of progress that has built the modern world we live in.

Perhaps one could argue that religion fills a different need in our societies, but still, I don’t think it is ultimately necessary for the moral, ethical and judicial development of our societies, either.
Too many variables to say. In theory, you would say a stable population all other things equal would keep the housing prices equal (or drop a little initially since predictions aren't green anymore). In practice, even without foreign money, there are still many ways with which the value of housing can go up. And as long as the majority of voters want housing to go up, it likely will.

Practice can be seen by the many cultural shifts we had which had zero to do with population growth / housing shortages, but still increased prices tremendously. Higher loans, longer mortgages and lower interest rates, for one. Increased dual incomes is another.
There are important psychological advantages to going on all in. If you still have a job, every time the going gets tough you can just focus back to your job. Startups typically require much more stress and effort to succeed than jobs do.

There have been precisely zero new reservoirs brought into service in England over the last 30 years while the population has as you say grown considerably. There has been relatively little infrastructure maintenance, leading to high-levels of leakage, and over-extraction from once healthy rivers. I'd agree that things weren't perfect in 1976 but privatization has failed to noticeably improve things either while totally failing to prepare for the changes required by a growing population and worsening climate.

I have spoken to more than a couple homeless people that feel this way. Obviously “roof over their head they don’t like” is the big qualifier here. Many of the homeless I spoke to refused shelters because their drugs were stolen/confiscated.

> What would be your proposed solution to this problem, as in how would you remake the real estate market in the US?

Higher capital gains tax for investment properties to discourage speculation.

The rationale being that it’s perfectly fine to own investment real estate as long as it’s being occupied. Short term speculation incentivizes unrented property (look at any city in East Asia). Incentivizing longer holding periods makes it more likely that the property will be used to extract rents (that is, actually house people, which is what you want).

> I'm uneasy about forced labor.

I'm with you! But what I'm not okay with is gatekeeping of the resource that REALLY makes real estate valuable -- LAND. Nobody made the land.

I'm okay with paying for the labor and capital that goes into housing construction. I'm not okay with somebody extracting massive amounts of value out of the economy just because they own title to the land.

Tokyo is basically centered along an orbital railway line, so if you were to walk out from this line that you would be basically walking to the suburbs with suburban highway roads to take you to the outskirts.

+1, it is also a joy to customize via the well-documented config file. E.g. adding custom search operators is very straightforward and flexible. With some unix-y thinking, one could probably also accomplish some other useful tricks on the address bar, simply by writing a string substitution one-liner into the rc file. Compare that to about:config, Add-ons, etc. Ha.

I somehow also very much enjoyed the not-so-good rendering. One may get used to it, I guess; even become fond of it -- you'll become more focused on the content/text and less on the layout. YMMW, but I always disabled all CSS and images. Also, I only recently (after roughly a decade of Dillo usage) noticed the --fullwindow (-f) command line option. This gives an extremely nice HTML renderer that loads in a second.

I've been curious about the tiny Picolisp language, which, IIRC, uses localhost-bound HTML as its default GUI (1,2). Sending Picolisp commands from a terminal window to a --fullwindowed Dillo instance would make a very cool environment.

Dillo is lightweight, modular, one-thing-well. Extremely user-friendly, simple to tailor to one's needs. A project that has managed to avoid bloat for 22 years. Unix philosophy at its best. Also, the executable is 872kb. Compare that to, uh, some other browsers.

It is probably my all time favorite browser for the X environment.

Even if one finds its HTML capabilities lacking (I don't; I see it as a feature, not a bug), then maybe, thanks to the plugin architecture, it would make a nice renderer for e.g. Gemini.

Ground effect happens up to about half the wingspan, or about the length of one blade in the case of a rotorcraft. If you look at the 8:50 mark it seems to me that it's well above that (albeit not for very long). So yes, I think it's capable of free flight.
For one, Meet has consistently the worst picture and audio quality at least in my experience. I daily have about 4 or 5 zoom meetings and 1 or 2 meet meetings per week so it's not a small sample. On a day where I'm pumping out zoom meetings in perfect quality, Meet will be degrading the video to the point where I can scarcely recognize people and having audio sync problems. In the last couple of years I seldom have had "meet" meetings where at least one participant doesn't lose sync, lose audio or just get kicked randomly, where these occurrances are (anecdotally, in my experience) much less frequent for zoom. It gets particularly bad when you get above a certain number of participants.

I don't recall meet being this bad a few years ago (I used to be at a company that used it for all internal meetings) so I don't know whether some infrastructure changes have occurred to make it so.
