A common criticism regarding tasers is that since they're perceived by police as safe they'll be overused, including in cases where it would rather amount to torture than policing, or as a method to punish suspects that are otherwise complient for things like name calling or spitting on the ground.

Personally I prefer that police risk something when they use force, that encourages them to have solid reason for it.
Easy - I started by not fucking changing the words they wrote down, because I assumed they intended to write them down.

I'm not acting as thought police because I literally didn't police their thoughts - I left them the fuck alone.

I'm struggling to tell if your comment is satire or not, because it's pretty dense (and not in the "filled with words" kind of way).
Yeah, but it's an ownership alternative for people who are otherwise stuck being long-term renters. And for long-term renters I think ownership is the better alternative in many cases.

It's Probably losing it's place in the DNC primary, but Michigan which plants 2 million acres of corn will be 5th and Iowa still might be on Super Tuesday. If the RNC keeps the early caucus it might turn into a more partisan issue which might be worse.
It's very hard for landlords to pass on LVT completely - they are locked in (location-wise), where as renters are mobile...

Also, as other comments said, it incentivizes increased density.
Hmmm, settings things like `~/.ssh` to non standard locations too would probably block a lot of the standard dependency-chain-malware coming around as well.
If you tax land value, but not development value, that incentivizes greatest productive use of land, and penalizes unproductive use of land.

It incentivizes multi-unit construction, as the more productive the land is, the less onerous the land taxes become. (Wheres currently, developing land normally increases the property tax.)

Increasing units per land both provides more housing, and reduces the tax/renter pass through.

It disincentivizes holding unproductive land as an investment, since unproductive land gets taxed as highly as productive land.

Removing the dysfunctional use of land as a store of value asset, would greatly reduce land and rent prices.

Removing the store of value aspect, would also better align landlords incentives with their renters. As their business model would now purely revolve around their paying customers, without the subsidy of land prices going up due to investment mania. And improving rental properties would be cheaper, without the tax increases that entails today.

All these benefits probably accrue from good economic alignment, because a land tax, instead of total property value tax, reflects that it is land, not its development, which is the finite resource.

Land is finite, yet we all absolutely need land, along with food, air, and water. (Finite in a soft way, given different land is more or less usable). We only "own" land in passing. So those holding it shouldn't be lightly excluding better uses of an absolutely necessary resource.

Land taxes are also morally well aligned. It is land (not development) that is a joint inheritance to us all. Land owners share a bit of that inheritance value with all of us, while still being allowed to manage it according to self-interest, opportunity and competition.

Finally, property tax is part land tax, part wealth (development value) tax. Only taxing land eliminates a wealth tax. Upgrading your home won't increase your taxes.

The humanitarian and economic benefits of properly aligned land taxes would directly accrue to everyone in society from the bottom to the top.

It would improve overall economic efficiency and equality.

It would eliminate a lot of local and national political conflicts.
I would not advocate for such a thing... but I'm honestly surprised that there haven't been attempts on the lives of executives/management/boards of companies like in TFA... I mean the whole "one bad day" is all it takes. People/society seems to be far more resilient than people give credit for... of course, this is countered by the massive homeless population. Maybe we're just far more docile.

It's hard to imagine this being tolerated a century or more ago.

OPEC technically engages in supply fixing - the market then sets the price driven by the intersection of the demand curve and the (fixed) supply. If OPEC reduced supply and users of oil reduced demand by more than that same percentage, prices would likely drop.

There’s two different types of price collusion, and only one is illegal. The first is using public signals (ie looking at competitors prices) and setting yours to match. This is perfectly acceptable, and is usually unspokenly enforced by tit-for-tat strategies.

The second is when you get together and say, “1bd studios are $1200, agreed?” This explicit coordination is illegal. IANAL, but this looks closer to the second.

There's nothing stopping you just making your own REST API and responding over HTTPS that returns hostname records for any service you build or run - it doesn't even need to use an existing DoH standard. These are exactly the sort of tricks stuff like IoT devices are already using to ensure they can phone home regardless of your network's DNS settings.

DoH is literally just "DNS over HTTPS" (hence the TCP a lot of the time) and you can build this a ton of different ways, including as a basic RESTful API. Local javascript on the page could literally just call any old HTTPS web API to get hostnames resolved, and thanks to HTTPS is much harder to detect, inspect and interfere with than traditional DNS. Fundamentally, a DNS request is a really basic API to implement.

This is why DoH is so hard to conclusively block - its by design to look like "normal" web traffic so bad actors are prevented from manipulating your DNS responses, and the implementation can be done pretty much anyway you want - there are a million different ways to pass a message over HTTPS, and to a firewall they all look like the exact same normal HTTPS traffic if you don't explicitly block the IP or domain serving the DoH.
Plus, I don't get it why everybody thinks that it was Germany's, or any other single NATo countries, decision what ang how much aid Ukraine was getting when. First was a bunch former Warsaw pact gear, then NATO decided to send top notch hardware, namely Abrams Leopard and Challenger 2s.

So far, the whole miltary NATO aid for Ukraine, which started years before the actual invasion, seems to work out rather well.

Nothing of that has anything to do with layoffs, that economic crisis was bound to happen after COVID and decades of free money.
You may be right, but I'm not convinced. I believe many Jules Verne novels were once considered "young adult" fare, but (in the original unabridged forms) became challenging for young adult readers in the 20th century. I think natural drifts in language are a major factor in this. The stories and characters are generally simple, but the texts themselves become more challenging as time passes.

Or take Shakespeare for example; he wrote for the unwashed masses yet his writings are considered sophisticated and challenging today. I have an anthology of English renaissance drama from various playwrights that I revisit from time to time. The stories are usually quite crude and funny (example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Tis_Pity_She%27s_a_Whore), but understanding them well enough to appreciate that humor can be a chore. I don't think these stories were considered difficult originally, but became so over time.
But they are not released. Only for non-commercial use by groups that they grant access to. Which means studies funded by giant corporations, or governments using it for their own propaganda, or hackers that steal it or find a leak and use it for spam and phishing etc. Anyone who wants to make something useful and positive is going to be left out.
Yeah... I think that the FTC needs to get back into trust busting a lot more frequently. I've been saying for over a decade, and amplified since covid supply issues, that the FDA should absolutely require dual sourcing and at least 50% domestic production. Many industries should require at least some percentage of domestic production, just for security concerns regarding supply.
>> IMAP clients typically refer to messages by their “sequence number” […]

Or you could use the unique identifier of the message (UID) instead of the sequence number:

We are talking about thousands of years for the flip to happen, and hundreds of thousands of years between each flip. We have geological records that it happened, as for the damage, there was a theory that it was linked to mass extinction, but latest research find it unlikely.

It would still be bad for us, but not something worth worrying about right now.
Can you explain what you mean by this? Do you mean just generating hundreds of strings (with long atmoic class names) to style each component vs loading a global CSS?

IDK about React but Vue also has things like scoping, where the elements get unique IDs appended as data tags so you don't have to worry about CSS global scope clashes. Plus with Webpack/Vite the CSS automatically gets extracted and via HTTP2 only loads the tiny JS and CSS files needed only for the components used on the page.

In that case giant blobs of CSS and JS would be less efficient.

Yeah, I’m kind of scratching my head. This can’t just be a distinction without a difference, can it? Maybe the discovery is that the solid core has two layers of different densities with a gradual “margin” between the two?

Mostly it pulls those people away from more economically productive activities. What might those farmers otherwise plant? What about the associated ag businesses? Surely they wouldn't evaporate. And the ethanol processing plants could probably make other distilled products for industrial use.

Still, you can find more examples of OPEC members going against the wishes of OPEC than you can find landlords going against the wishes of RealPage. Good thinking though!
I don't think there's a ton of value in calling a little girl "ugly and beastly" instead of just "beastly", but if you do think that, it sounds like you can still show your children how to call people names, and that's my point.

OK. Would it be unreasonable to ask them to form a barrier between the violent person and other people in the area and defuse the situation with either patience, wit or talk?
This can't, but there's some software, KoboldAi, which lets you download and run other LLMs
Japanese culture seems to have workarounds for this, with many businesses that have run for many centuries. It's harder to become rich in Japan; wealth concentrations are less encouraged, and many people are arguably underpaid to the point of exploitation. Political capital is (imho) much more concentrated, and the relative difficulty of wealth concentration reduces sociopolitical mobility. Arguably the social ethos is one of preserving a harmonious balance, partly because it's profitable for incumbents but perhaps also because it's emergent from geographic factors.

If you try to have both windows and linux, you'll be stuck using WSL for some tasks and a virtual machine for other tasks. Dual booting has the same problem.

>I'm not a gypsy, but even if I was don't you think the correct reading of that would be something akin to, "Gypsies in the past used to swindle, but now we can be cognizant of that behavior and not do it, thus being a better version of ourselves."

I'm not going to go through every example you mentioned because this comment shows the exact problem with that. You are putting the origin of the term on some fault with the Romani people. Have you examined why that is? Are you sure that they did actually swindle people more than other groups? If they did, why did they do it? Was that a byproduct of their position in society? I admittedly don't know much Romani history, so I can't speak to it directly. However I know Jewish people were similarly thought of as swindlers because they were often bankers, and they were often bankers because that was one of the few jobs non-Jewish society would allow them to have. The fault doesn't lie with the Jews, it lies with the rest of society.

That same concept applies elsewhere. Like white generally being used to represent good and black bad. That is such a fundamental aspect of our culture that it seems silly to try to change it, but the silliness originates in a lack of examination of the origin of those standards.
If you really want burglars and locks analogy it would be invisible burglars, that steal secrets and things you don't notice from your home. Then some not invisible burglars appear and you realize you need better locks. Invisible burglars are more dangerous.

You may prefer world without burglars at all, but that is not an option. It's just wishful thinking.

On the other extreme: if one has an old enough continuous ferment, a lot of yeast will settle at the bottom, potentially affecting the end result.

> Aka YouTube isn’t paying market prices on unused compute therefore Google is leverage its search monopoly to expand into another business.

What in the hell is "market rate" for compute? Google bought a zillion CPUs and hard drives and put them in data centers that they pay for. There's no "market rate", they own the infrastructure. They can do whatever they want with the equipment they own. A division using another division's spare compute capacity isn't in any way an anti-trust violation. What you're saying makes no sense at all.

I’ve heard from non-authorities sources that loans for the comercial properties have covenants that would severely financially punish the landlord for lowering the rent. Enough of these restrictions in a single location would have a monopolistic effect on pricing paid for by landlords who now have to carry these loans without tenants. Usually it’s expensive to distort a market enough to maintain monopoly pricing but not if you can get someone else that is optimistic, naive, or desperate to pay for it.

2. Putting WSJ as "leans right" shows that the entire chart is skewed. Or "thehill" as centrist ("thehill" publisher's wife worked for Melania Trump). Take your pick.

You can actually get a pretty helpful trickle charge out of solar panels on cars, and their cost is so low that the slight convenience may be worth the expense.

This particular Sono car was rated to get up to 21 miles per day under ideal conditions. Let's say these numbers are extremely ideal and we only get 5 or 10 miles a day.

Let's say you go to the airport and park in the economy lot for a week, and you come back to your car having 35-70 miles of extra range than when you left.

I think if someone was buying a Tesla or some other popular EV right now and they had the option to put some solar panels on the roof that charged the car enough to add one or two miles of range per day I'd still see a lot of people paying one or two thousand bucks for that option.

That's a heck of a lot better than parking your car outside for a week and finding that the battery has slowly drained on you.
