It may lower property values some, but in the long run even homeowners will be better-off as other, more burdensome taxes decrease. Sure, increasing land taxes may not be that popular, but pair it with abolishing income taxes? That's a different political proposition.

It's also why my first step is not to sell it as the implementation of a new tax; rather, it is an exemption to buildings. People don't like new taxes, but everyone loves exemptions!

Political problems are often difficult to solve but that by no means makes them impossible.

Not an expert here but one thing I've noticed is that large / corporate landlords prefer to let a property sit empty rather than reduce the rent as supply/demand theory would indicate. My understanding is that this is because there are special tax benefits like you can write off the loss to lower your tax burden. How does this factor in?

Thanks a lot, super helpful to hear the ways to remove/treeshake, shim or conditional to handle mobile Vs web.

I'm inclined to agree, but I am somewhat curious about this. The Boeing 737 max crashes certainly demonstrate that the industry does not universally prioritize safety above all. At the same time, there are strong incentives for any airline to not have a catastrophic safety incident. I recently flew on a 737 max and was willing to do so not so much because the FAA cleared them to fly but because I assume the pilots are not suicidal. In the absence of strong government safety regulations would things just devolve to YOLO? I'm not sure either way. Having said that, Chesterton's fence applies to any existing regulations.
I respect Sergio but I’ve heard that like too many times in the last 3 years. Every few months it’s the same excitement whenever some activity is spotted on the repo. It always ends the same way - stalled yet again. The goodwill earned has been squandered.

The military doesn't decide whether we go to war. That kind of policy is left to the other parts of government when things work properly. However, they constantly make kill/no-kill decisions. E.g. choosing bombing targets or drone strikes.

Man that is the most accurate description I’ve seen in a while.

My current apartment (powered by RealPage, just like my last 3 weeee) sent us all no less than 6 notifications during the cold last week about making sure we run water to not have the pipes freeze.

A total of 4 buildings have burst pipes that included the fire sprinkler system, and they are now trying to blame the residents for not keeping their apartments warm, and also trying to say that “this is why you should have renters insurance because it’s not our fault.”

> Crypto will get there

No, it won’t.

Crypto is solely, and entirely, a means to commit crime. Some of that crime is “OK” like evading currency controls in places we don’t like or buying drugs we think should be legal. The rest is normal kinds if crime.

It’s not an asset, it has no productive value whatsoever.

Nobody is going to learn anything except “wow that was fucking stupid we shouldn’t do that again” and then all the people who learned that will die, and then we will, in fact, do it again.

Investment scams are literally as old as the concept of investment.

Every ounce of energy and mental effort spent on crypto will be wasted.

I can't access the original study however taking data, explicitly naming security cameras for example, to "use it or merge it with data from external parties such as publishers or public or private sector organizations" will surely not seriously degrade student and staff privacy, right?

The rush to "exploit" data reminds me of the dot com hype. It's one thing to use available data to make more informed decisions about things from course content to building occupancy. It's quite another to rush towards total surveillance because of a Fear of Missing Out of "exploitable data".

I still play FTL: Faster than Light [0]. It's a rogue like, so if you die, you die. You command a starship that you get to upgrade, crew and fight with. It's one of those "easy to pick up, hard to master" games. Released in 2012, still fun to play. You can play for a minute or for hours, the sound track is good. Wikipedia says game play is realtime [1], but you can pause the game, queue up a set of actions and watch them play out. So this is definitely not a reaction based game and therefore it's low stress/adrenaline...that is until you get a boarder teleporting in, and your oxygen levels are falling precipitously because you had to vent a bunch of compartments to stop a fire, and the oxygen generator has been down since the last fight.

Anyway, one of my favourite games. Recommended.

Yes, absolutely, universities are awash in data they do little to anything with outside of hyperfocused laboratories. I wonder if having central data management groups would be an enabler or a bottleneck, however.

A steel man interpretation of GPs argument would be that payment mechanics of property tax and subscriber services are more alike than people want to admit. You own your Netflix movies and land alike as long as you pay the subscription cost. Both eventually will be revoked if payment is withheld. Why should we call one subscribing and one owning when the results are the same?
Short version is that MacOS made it so root cannot modify certain files without rebooting, disabling security and then booting to change those files. It can also stage changes to reload on boot, so for example, when you get a new version of the Zoom client, you actually have to reboot to make the camera permission go into effect. It's probably safer, but as a user, having to reboot just to turn on the camera is... MS Vista like...

The challenge is that targets look smaller the faster you go. Small errors quickly produce deltas larger than the target. Hypersonic missiles, at least the ones we know about, are not like aircraft that can miss, turn around, and try again. They’re more like bullets, and it’s pretty well understood how hard it is to hit an erratically moving target with a rifle round.

I agree with your proposals but this part is inaccurate: the right-wingers are mad because their candidates didn’t do as well as hoped. In their current post-factual era, that means they’ll make up whatever excuses are needed to say the results aren’t valid but nobody should confuse that with a more principled argument than “elections are only valid when we win” - right now it’s the Trump 2020 fraud veterans pushing that story but as soon as that fails critical examination they’ll shift to something else.

I'd say an additional point should be to try and not make it so that the path of least resistance for the system of taxes being for a few corporations to accumulate all the available real estate. From what you say you're fine with one company owning all the land as long as they pay the tax. What I'm proposing is similar except the tax gets more and more prohibitive the more you own, instead of being a flat rate.
Agree 100%, the margins tend to favor the owner. It varies by property, some are much higher maintenance.

My point is simply that these things don't take care of themselves and need to be managed one way or another.

Bringing a carrier anywhere near a hostile shore is now iffy. There are too many truck-mounted ship killers now, as the Russian Black Sea fleet found out the hard way.[1] Sailing US carriers up the Taiwan Strait as a show of force is over. The US last did that in 2007.

Something else that's probably over - parking an amphibious assault ship offshore and using it as a base for USMC operations. The USMC and USN invested huge resources in that concept, and it's been very useful in small wars. Those ships are now vulnerable.

A LTJG writes in Naval Institute Proceeding on this.[2] If a carrier is close enough to do anything useful, it's vulnerable to shore-based attack. A Coast Guard officer worries about attacks by drone swarms launched from fishing boats.[3] China has a large fleet of small coastal vessels, the "People's Armed Maritime Militia", which are used for observation and other tasks.

There's a ton of prior-Army Youtubers complaining about the same trends in their branch. Even the Marine Corps is getting the infection lately; a Gunnery Sergeant I worked with who used to be a very successful recruiter talks about it often, and how it is impacting motivation for the young first-timers. But also many mid-career officers (my peer group) and Staff NCOs are getting out as they can see which way the wind is blowing and don't want to be a part of it.
Yeah, my carbon footprint isn't nearly as big as my over-sized ego either and I need to step it up too.
Ironically, I've been feeling the opposite lately- my day job is embedded, and I was reminiscing about my childhood days when I was learning to code with Scheme and Processing. There's something beautiful about a single laptop being a fully enclosed ecosystem to just play around with pure code, and I basically haven't coded for fun in my free time in a few years. I was even considering trying to learn some webdev to make my own personal site. :P

I still love embedded, and I think it's great for all the reasons mentioned in the thread. As for your question, firmware is quite broad, and there are lots of different routes people take to break into it as a career. At its core, it's a lot of writing systems code, or feature code that runs on constrained systems. Something like CS undergrad systems programming + OS or equivalent should be enough.

After that, I would make sure you have decent breadth: knowing how to read datasheets, bringing up parts, writing a linker script, using peripherals, grokking some standard protocols like I2C/SPI/SDIO, basic circuits knowledge, basic comparch knowledge, etc. The nice part of all this stuff is that you can totally get there with just hobby projects and Adafruit boards. If you find yourself using the batteries included in the Arduino or Adafruit libraries, maybe push yourself to write more of it from scratch. eg. write an SDIO driver to read from an SD card and parse a FAT filesystem.

People with solid software engineering backgrounds are pretty valuable in embedded, so I'd emphasize that as well. Knowing that git exists, unit tests, API design, CI tooling, etc. If you're a Linux kernel hacker, embedded linux is also kind of its own separate world, so that might be a good direction if you have experience there.
Have you tried Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite (the KDE version)? They also offer a fully immutable file system. The only hard part is adapting to life with an immutable filesystem, getting used to running things in containers/toolboxes, using flatpaks/appimage/snaps, etc.

I've been on it exclusively on my desktop and laptop for the past couple of months and have grown to like it a lot.
I think you're trying too hard to look for errors in a system that isn't your preference and not looking hard enough at errors for the system that is your preference. All voting systems have errors and we must be clear about this.

But this strategy and consequence exists in ordinal systems just as much as cardinal systems. There is nothing stopping a voter from bullet voting on a ranked ballot. They just rank one person and no one else. The consequences are quite similar actually but might be more obvious that you're throwing away your ballot in this case. But I assure you, you're effectively throwing away your ballot in the cardinal case too.

I'm also not sure what is wrong with approval. Approval is awesome.

I am also not sure why you keep using the phrase "lesser of 2 evils". If we have a 2 candidate election then there's no point in using any of these voting systems because plurality is a strictly better system (in a 2 candidate election). In fact, it is preferential that a multi-candidate system degenerates into a plurality system when there are only two candidates! The phrase "lesser of n equals" is not really about a voting system so much as it is related to another saying: "those that seek power do not deserve it" (or Plato's alternative: "Only those who do not seek power are qualified to hold it"). This has nothing to do with a voting system but has everything to do with a candidate selection process. There's an ethical conundrum though because you need strong authoritarian power to force thrust (the potential for) power upon people. But we're digressing, just like the normalization discussion is digressing (it was intended to introduce the concept of scaled sincerity, which we see people use in practice).

(some rambling questions here that are only semi-related:)

NASA is really anal about radiation concerns, insisting the caches have ECC (or they run it with cache disabled). For the instruction cache this makes sense (as well as any higher caches that would store instructions).

With modern CPU's having so many cores and threads being so cheap, couldn't NASA use these for redundancy?

My second question, how much more resilient are older processes with larger feature size compared to modern 6/7nm ? Compare modern with older (14nm/22nm finfet, 28nm/32 soi) and ancient (65nm or larger).
> Similarly, how is an "ICO" conceptually different from issuing a corporate bond?

Because a corporate bond is a promise by a legally recognized entity with assets to pay you back and an ICO is an illegal confidence scam.

Interesting take.

From the "Jack and the Beanstalk" entry about the story at Wikipedia:

The other poster responded, but RocketLab's Neutron rocket has not flown at all nor has any public plans yet to fly. Those are flights of the Electron rocket.
the "bad stuff" currently discussed is about manufacturers only making assemblies available, not components. (that is the big topic in the linked video) I diffed S4104 and S4104A and don't see that in the changes. I also don't see the interpretation of Louis Rossmann in the old version, the definition of "part" was always quite open to interpretation and neither "component" nor "assembly" are mentioned in S4104A. But the relevant point here is: the governors memo explicitly states that the manufacturer only needs to provide assemblies, not components, if there is a risk of injury. The only change from S4104 to S4104A using the word "injury" is the new section 5 about liability. The change mentioned in the governors memo is not in the amended bill that passed Senate and Assembly in May/June 2022.

The governors memo also talks about eliminating the requirement related to overriding security features, which is section 2.B of the bill. Again the change the governors memo describes is not in the amendment made earlier this year.

The governors memo also talks about business to business and business to government sales. There is a point 3.E related to emergency communication equipment, but it would be a stretch to match those. Again the change the governors memo mentions as being agreed upon is not there.

I would be happy if the governors approval memo is horseshit and talks nonsense. Because the alternative is that they are making backroom deals changing the bills text between senate vote and signing.
My only criticism is the “ugly mess” part. You can implement the traits on references too.
Ask HN: Would a tech recession vindicate calls for tech unionization?
For years, the idea of unionizing software engineers and other tech workers has been mostly a fringe idea. While there have been some high-profile examples such as the Kickstarter union and organizing in the notoriously cutthroat video games industry, the idea has been largely scoffed at. The idea is that because SWEs are in such hot demand, it is one of the very few examples where employment relations benefit workers greatly.

Now with large scale layoffs already and who knows what else on the horizon, it seems like that leverage, once present during the low interest rates environment of the pandemic bubble, is fast disappearing. So does that vindicate the idea that tech workers should have codified the benefits they enjoyed during the good times, through unionizing?
