Sometimes there's other restrictions.

For example,

- In some states there's a cap on property tax increases. So the moving to a fee-model takes it off the tax levy by making it a user fee.

- Bundling trash services with the tax levy is inequitable in that commercial properties are subsidizing services they do not use. A 20 unit apartment building usually has to use a private hauler, for example.

- Some places try to setup consumption based models, where you pay per occupancy unit or even by the bag.

I read Madame Bovary a long time ago because in the old days when we visited East Berlin from the west they forced you to exchange some money into the worthless Ostmark. The only thing worth buying were books and even those were printed on terrible paper. I ended up with Madame Bovary and absolutely loved it, depressing as it is.
You and I want the same basic things. Among them food, sleep, and a home. Security and belonging. Love. The opportunity to contribute, be seen, and have meaning in our existence.

It is when I forget these truths that I start to believe that my unfulfilled needs are due to something outside of my own ability to influence. A bitterness arises towards you who have these things and I construct stories about how you are doing something wrong or that I am superior to you simply because I have the strength to withstand not having those needs met.

Beneath the shell, the facade, is a simpler but more difficult to digest truth. That my own need goes unfulfilled and I am angry about it.

And here I find a self-destructive behavior. You have a desire to help me get or create what I need in my life. But my pride and fear of being vulnerable gets in the way. And underneath it, the shame of being a burden.

With force I push back all attempts at kindness and care. I cling to the shell of bitterness and anger.

In this moment I try to ask myself:

Can I acknowledge to myself that there is something I can change that could change everything for me?
Can you actually WANT to share without a hidden agenda?
Can I let go of my pride a little, just enough to receive the help?

Can I be humble, have enough self-esteem to believe in my own worth. To be worthy of the care extended to me by my fellow human? Do I dare believe in the inherent goodness of others actually wanting to do something for my sake?

I let go of the need to be alone
I let go of the need to increase my pride through criticizing others and being bitter towards them
I accept the basic goodness of my fellow humans, even if I feel betrayed by them
I let go of self-criticism and accept that I too am fundamentally worthy of love

I create the opportunity for meaningful and loving interactions to exist in my reality

The world has enough villains. I let go of my bitterness, because I have understood that it deeply reflects my own shame and guilt. With that, I forgive myself for my self-justification and judgment of others.

I choose to live in a world where I can be vulnerable and open to receiving love and care. A world where I can give love and care to others without reservation.

> How does taxing wealth work, without eating away at the savings of the middle class?

When you say “middle class” do you the petit bourgeoisie or the middle income segment of the working class (the former is the traditional use in discussing capitalist economies, and the latter is popular in the US; they are very different groups.)

In either case, the simple way is to set a threshold exemption (possibly purely quantitate, but possibly also differentiated by types of wealth) on the wealth subject to taxation that essentially exempts the group of concern; if you mean the popular US use of “middle class”, that’s can be done with a fairly low threshold; if you mean not to erode the wealth of the petit bourgeoisie and to focus the tax only on the haut bourgeiosie, that’s a much higher threshold.

Personally, I think wealth taxation probably ought to take a back seat to income taxation that simply doesn’t radically favor capital income as a priority, since equalizing tax treatment of income is a simplification of the tax system that makes it more equitable, rather than an additional complication.
A purely unproductive and lazy man is not a man. He is a boy. A man has an obligation to provide for himself, and his family if he has one. Only a boy lives off of their parents. Only a monster fails to provide for his family if he is able-bodied. Shovel shit if you must. It is better than being a perpetual boy.
I've been slowly making my way through the Walking Dead season 10 on Netflix.

I legitimately will skip probably 60-70% of the episodes. They'll seriously skip from one scene of super-slow angsty bullshit to another scene with other characters involved in super-slow angsty bullshit.

I watch just enough to get the point and then skip the next 5-10 minutes until the next scene shows up, at which point I'll watch just enough to get the point ... ad nauseum.

It doesn't have to be like this, but JFC I'm not interested in someone spending 10 minutes expressing what a normal human being would express in 1 because the producer thinks slowing their speech patterns down to .0001x is somehow more dramatic.

Assuming that Mastodon growth continues, such services will probably emerge (there are already a couple of Mastodon hosting services, but there's probably a market for a "so you're a celebrity who wants a single-user Mastodon instance" service which has yet to be filled).

If it was a single-user instance, that would be fairly trivial :)
Crypto only benefits those states shut out of the orderly financial system, like Syria, North Korea, Russia and Iran.

North Korea has amassed a veritable crypto fortune, hundreds of millions worth, that they're using to finance their illicit nuclear weapons programs. They don't need to use binance, but binance continued existence props up the value of the crypto space and their holdings allowing their games to continue.

[edit] To be clear I'm not saying that NK or any other state actor is propping up binance or Tether (I just don't know) however it's pretty clear IMO that they benefit from its continued existence.

>The fediverse works less and less well as the number of federated instances increase. It has anti-scaling properties.

In some ways, and for some purposes, this is very likely a feature. A good amount of the fediverse wants small healthy communities, not Twitter but federated (i.e. everything going everywhere all the time).

I will absolutely agree that it's sub-par for almost anything happening now, which is a problem. But it's experiencing unprecedented growth - there will be growing pains, just like non-federated things do when they have unprecedented growth.
Why at the state level? Why should people in other areas of California be burdened with poor decisions by a particular city? San Francisco has created conditions that encourage vagrants to flock to the city by simultaneously not enforcing the law and “supporting” the homeless with vast funds paid out to many inefficient non-profits. Add to this a lax policy toward camps and it is no wonder there are huge problems there. I don’t blame the vagrants for going there.

Cities try to encourage growth in cities by making it attractive to employers. Why not discourage growth of vagrants by making it unattractive to break the law and camp out on sidewalks?

I finally read The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down[1], which has been on my list for years.

Cultural/anthropological journalism tends to fall into a handful of traps (fawning over "exotic" cultures, or dismissing them as backwards), and this is one of a small handful of books that avoid those errors. I highly recommend it to anybody who's interested in medical anthropology, or more generally to anyone looking to understand (a tiny fragment of) the immigrant experience in the US.

>Until late 2018, for instance, Epic automatically stored the credit card information for anyone who made a single purchase in Fortnite and didn't require the CVV security information for further purchases. That made it easy for many children to make additional purchases without their parents' consent, according to the FTC.

Epic also drew criticism from the FTC for putting the "Purchase" button for in-game items right next to the "preview styles" button and offering no subsequent purchase confirmation prompt in the case of misplaced clicks. And while Epic introduced an "Undo Purchase" button in July 2019, it was eventually made much less prominent and harder for customers to find.

Interesting position. My personal thought process around it was : Even if Meta succeeds at bringing a technological marvel to the market(I haven’t seen anything convincing that they will) they have amassed astronomical bad reputation with Facebook that anything that is remotely associated with Meta/Zuckerberg would be seen very skeptically. I know I wouldn’t jump in and create assets in their virtual world like I uploaded so many pictures and shared location to Facebook in their early days..

Do you believe their bad reputation can be fixed in such short timeframe?

I worked on a large Clojure app for a small company for a few years and it eventually died for similar reasons as you describe. Then, I was hired to work for a startup also developing a large Clojure app, and I must say, it was a very challenging onboarding. The main problem is that "anything goes" in a language like Clojure, which can be great or devastating. My personal take is that the lack of types makes it very hard to understand a large codebase you are exposed to for the first time, unless, as you say, it is structured in a way that was very clear and strict from the outset. Trying to trace the ideas through a large Clojure codebase can become extremely difficult when all they are is a bunch of functions with untyped parameters. Liberal use of spec can help to some degree (though that is also a challenge to enforce, much like optional typing in some languages) but it doesn't change this fundamental paradigm of the language, and I've seen more businesses sunset Clojure than move to it. It's a shame, really, since the language is vastly more flexible and powerful than most, but it goes to show that there are some things that have, in the wild, outsized influence on productivity for the 80%.
They omitted superhero/action stars from this list. No way guys like Hugh Jackman are getting the bodies they have with "boiled chicken and rice" diets in 3 months. Impossible.

I don't know enough about steroids to care if someone uses them, but I think it's pretty toxic to promote unrealistic body standards to guys while claiming they got it because they were "genetically blessed" or were "dedicated to their craft". Toxic. Toxic. Toxic.
I read "Crucial Conversations" this year. It feel like it has the potential to be life changing. Need more time to tell what impact it really has.

It introduced me to a new topic, which is analyzing social situations and apply problem solving skills to them. Something that never occurred to me for some reason. I now realize there are smart people working and having interesting thoughts and conclusions in this topic. So much more to explore. (Open to recomindations too!)

The book also seems to give more useful information about how to handle difficult social situations. I was pretty down on work and becoming cynical (still am though hah!) The advice I often get is stuff like be agreeable, don't rock the boat, dont say anything with passion ("corp speak"), to get ahead and get what you want. This feels bad to me. Often it appears in corporations the only people that are getting ahead are those types of yes people. I feel like this book gave me the tools to have differing opinions and express them successfully.

I also liked the book shows that a lot of these difficult conversations are actually in your control. Most people seem to have terrible communication skills I'm learning. Often I would write off a bad conversation as the other person just being an asshole or difficult or something. after reading this it seems like it is possible to handle a lot of these a lot better.

Disjointed thoughts off the top of my head, but I found the book pretty enlightening. Id recommend it if you struggle with expressing your opinions in emotional conversations.

See, I love Bulgakov, Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, but I really didn't get Karamazov (it's a personal failing, not attributing it to the work).

There are some beautiful aspects of the book that will always stay with me. The Grand Inquisitor monologue is captivating, Alyosha is a deeply interesting character, Mitya's stories of gallivanting on a troika through Russia, and everything that is Grushenka...

But as a whole, I can't say I understood it. I didn't understand how these characters came together, or how the ending tied these (albeit interesting!) stories together.

Karamazov was the first Dostoevsky book I read. When it came to The Idiot, I was shocked by how different the writing style felt. It flowed more, the dialogue drove a lot of the narrative, and it generally was just a lot less dense.

I'm hardly an English Major let alone a scholar of Russian Lit so I'm sure the thoughts here are pedestrian.

We already mostly have that.

Most of the US dollars that exist are already digital -- numbers in a bank account, only some of which is backed by actual dollar bills. It is trivially easy to use them to pay for things or transfer them to other accounts, and they can easily be converted to/from paper money in reasonable amounts.

What we have now is fine. I don't see any benefit to making our existing currencies more "digital" than they are.
