> We already have property taxes.

Sort of? They're a patchwork state system and they're heavily kneecapped because in many states property tax is not really proportional to the market value.

In California, effectively the longer you've owned the property the less you tend to pay as a fraction of the value, which in a sense is regressive because younger, less affluent homeowners pay more tax.
Yep, it's going to be amazingly useful when it comes out (first sections are scheduled for 2025, sadly too late for the 2024 Olympics) and a ton of very good developments are happening around the new stations.
While I do somewhat agree in that they seem to make a big deal out of something which has been done in many ways by many people for many years already I do have to point out that these types of practical DIY projects are far more useable than any factory-made bike bags. They fit more stuff, they are cheaper and if they ever get damaged or destroyed you simply make another one/pair instead of having to buy something new.

The fancy presentation of this project/product fits with the 'cycling for the planet' crowd while the actual concept of strapping a pair of 25l cans to the carrier is more in line with those who use their bikes because that is just what they've always done without any thoughts of 'enough' or 'climate' or 'environment' or 'virtue'.
One practical way you could attempt to do this would be to massively tax airline tickets, ideally by distance flown, and then allow people to claim 4 untaxed tickets.

You could also maybe allow people to sell their tickets if they never intend to use them, which would create a new financial incentive for people to never get on a plane.
Yeah, remote work should really be required for jobs that can do it. That's a lot more reasonable of an immediate achievable climate action.
Uh, sexist?!?!?! Where?
I don't blame you for seeing this as outrage or offence, or me victimizing the users of social media. But I think you're labelling this as outrage because we're so used to seeing outrage online.

No, this is just an observation with no strong emotions or reactions attached - it's tiring and it's probably unhealthy. No one has wronged me or caused offence to me. If anything, it's self-inflicted. We all ultimately decide what we consume.

Anyways, your comment was interesting in the way you see this, and I think, illustrative of the point I was making. Outrage online has become so normal it is to be expected.

The paper suggests FFmpeg uses intrinsics which is not correct.

I use amazon pharmacy and I really like it because they disclose all the prices transparently and deliver it with two day prime. Because they disclose the prices, I often pay out of pocket for a 90 day supply of generics, because it’s cheaper than 30 days with insurance.
2 years after "Surprised By Wealth", he wrote a commentary about VA Linux's layoffs where he more or less said outright that he'd never cashed out, which wouldn't be surprising, since he was a director of the company. One assumes he managed to get something out, but since he doesn't seem to have had a full-time job after VA Linux, it's easy to see how one could have burned through it. It feels weird doing kremlinology on this stuff; what I feel like I understand about his situation is, wherever he was then, he isn't anymore.

Whatever else he was at the time, he was certainly employable. This LBIP thing is comical because regardless of his economic circumstances, he is practically the textbook case of someone you'd want to recognize as not load-bearing. That, by itself, is not a dunk; I'm a similar textbook case: loud, but not anywhere on the Internet's critical path.

> But does the other side get the resources to have an attorney of the same caliber? If not, it's not a fair trial, and that's not how a justice system should work.

I don't consider the sides equal coming in. The state is the accuser, with an exclusive right to file charges and they can do full investigations. They have taxpayer funding so they are far richer than all but the very richest people they go after. They also make the extremely complex system of laws that only experienced professionals can navigate. The deck is already stacked extremely in their favor in almost every way. I don't get your obsession with making sure the accused person has their money taken to level anything that might be in their favor.

> In your system, the rich will always have better lawyers, and will get away with crimes, and that's precisely what I'm trying to say we need to change. The rich should NOT have better lawyers just because they're rich. They can have better houses, better cars, better vacations, and better Michelin food, but no, they should not have better lawyers than everyone else.

I'm not disputing that the poor do get shafted in the current system and the rich are at an advantage. The fact that you want a better justice system doesn't make the idea you proposed any less insane.
The point is there exists a tax you have to pay for simply owning something (although the tax rate is not 1 to 1 with market value in many places). So now we are just talking about applying to other equities like stocks.

> In California, effectively the longer you've owned the property the less you tend to pay as a fraction of the value, which in a sense is regressive because younger, less affluent homeowners pay more tax.

For sure, it is remarkable how many ways US society screws young people (fewer voters) in favor of the old (more voters) once you start looking. And in California, it is remarkable how explicitly they screwed young people with poorer ancestors versus young people with richer ancestors.
The simple fact that more or less every company in the entire world does not do 4 day work weeks, when apparently all they have to do is switch their workers to a 4 day work week in order to magically gain more productive workers, as you claim, means either 1) every person running every company in the world is stupid and you're smarter than them about worker productivity, or 2) there's more downsides that make a 4 day work week not worth it, such as in reality only a small fraction of workers actually being more productive

Fossil fuel powered ships are worse, because the carbon emissions of running a hotel at sea are high and ships use very low grade fuel with all sorts of nasty byproducts. And electric or renewable long distance ships run into the exact same problems as electric or renewable planes, namely the poor energy density.

And the techniques in the article are basically how we did it. (I say “we” but I’m just a system administrator who got to work with some cool people at Turbine.)

As Eumenes notes, the Asheron’s Call engine was significantly ahead of its time with the seamless zoning. The cost was high, though — we needed quite a few servers to run a world, I think many more than our competitors. There are business reasons why we weren’t quite as cost-conscious as we perhaps should have been.

The other factor involved in determining how often you persist is item duplication. If it’s possible to transfer an item between players without persisting state, and if there are known exploits that crash servers (not world, but individual servers), you wind up with an exploit that can duplicate items. But I’m sure that’s just hypothetical.
as mentioned by @htk above - it links to the exact section of the essay, with that exact title, i wanted to offer for HN interest because it directly addresses active conversation topics that have been here before, which i know from myself being a longtime community member.
It's idiotic to call communist revolt just people wishing to have a better redistribution of wealth, I don't see why the opposite of going from a 1500x difference of pay from working class to something more balanced, has to be seen like proletarian dictatorship, I guess it's just the stupidity that affects modern society, I wish people with those thought would just be intelligent enough to understand how fucking retarded they are

and you also have the nickname of a guy who enjoyed simple stuff, enjoyed taking care of his time, criticising those who would call the servants for dinners.. I guess it's just that modern society is about showing off without understanding a dick
That is a valid political standpoint. You should vote for somebody who are aligned with it, in what case it would not be private information anymore.
> I feel like the conclusions being drawn are extreme.

You linked Microsoft's investigation report on the exploit.

The attackers first managed to get access to Microsoft's development network, noticed a crashdump, understood the possible significance of that, dug through it, found a private key, then acquired enough insight into Microsofts authentication systems to understand how this key could be used beyond its intended purpose and then executed on that.

And you don't believe they left persistent backdoors in some high-profile targets?

The conclusions being drawn are … entirely appropriate. Your argument maaaaaybe makes some sense applied to general public random cloud customers. Backdooring indiscriminately just increases the risk of discovery. But large companies and government users? You have to assume compromise, anything else is incredulously naïve.

Who then gets to decide what should be released? The random employee who gets hired by the IRS and granted access to the system gets to make those decisions?

Suppose some random person decided that all software engineer (or whatever your job is) information should be public so they release your tax returns. How do you protect yourself? Do you just have to shrug and say, "well $RANDOM_PERSON thinks this is right, so I guess it is"

If only we could stick a numeric value on limited resources and allow people to optimize their life according to their own priorities...

Money. We have money. Tax environmental damage at every step and make the costs of things reflect their actual costs. If wealth inequality is a problem, balance it out with redistribution. Some will say this is extreme, but this thread is about forbiding travel, so extreme is where we're at in this context. Id rather see soft behavior shaping through tax policies than by straight up banning things.
How does the government favoritize Costco?

Technology and economies of scale favor Costco, and Walmart and etc. And people obviously like the low prices due to the economies of scale.
I don't entirely understand. You say, that if information you provide is coerced, then it is OK to make it public? Ie. if I force you to tell me something intimate or personal, I can share it with everyone?

"Taking the dick" is arguably a sexist position.

I disagree, but it's a tiresome argument that isn't worth having. Going on about it would distract, which is what the point of the objection was; that's why he led with it.
He certainly sounded like he was sound of mind, but even I didn't know what I was selling. We already had their credit card info on file, so we were taught all we needed was a "yes" from the customer, and after a while of chatting I think he wanted to be nice and gave me the "yes". I just hope he could afford it.

This seems completely dishonest:

Warren Buffett - $125M income reported - $23.7M taxes paid "real tax rate" = 0.10%

I mean, this math only makes sense if you rewrite how math works...
That doesn't make any sense to me.

Most instructions are not atomic, so even if you had runtime checks something like a debugger could still inject invalid state in between your checks, making them ineffective.

If real-time code injection is your threat model, I don't see how runtime checks would get you anywhere.

It's just regressive in general. normal people, especially today, have half or more of their net worth tied up in their home. so all of us normal people are effectively being wealth taxed while the very richest are effectively not being.

My wealth tax in texas is ~2% :( I've got say for example 100k house with 50k equity and 50k cash and stock assets. I pay 2k in property taxes on 100k in property but 2k/(50k+50k)=2%. not real #s but real percent.
I used to intentionally answer robocalls, press 1, and try to transfer then to Lenny. A lot of spam center callers would hang up as soon as I said I was transferring them. One of the spammers I managed to connect to Lenny asked their coworker what was going on and the coworker recognized the Lenny script. I roped in another spammer for several minutes while they tried to sell to Lemmy.

There’s no point in Presidential candidates disclosing their tax returns.

With a year or two preparation, you can make your tax return say whatever you want. Its only purposes is to determine taxes owed for a given year. That’s it. Not provide a summary of your financial interests.

I’ve personally seen political candidates structure their lives in a way so that their tax return says nothing.

One candidate and her husband sold massive business interests two years before running, with no expectation of payment until after the election.

Those tax forms honestly said they had no income and no business interests.

Which is legit, because the IRS is about getting the money it’s owed, not providing transparency into an individuals financial incentives.

Yea but airlines are government subsidized and a terrible way to shelter money, whereas commercial real estate was a great way to shelter money until the plebs decided they wanted more autonomy over their lives. I hope you understand why we have chosen to prioritize things this way.
Modern capitalism is definitely short-sighted but the railroads are uniquely bad in that regard. They could increase their business and keep marketshare away from road trucking without capital investment but they prioritize operating ratio instead. Every year there are fewer commercial facilities served by rail and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that railroads are in terminal decline.

For sake of argument here are made-up numbers: If you can, by paying some additional labor, with no capex, increase profit by 30% even though operating ratio may slightly decrease while also protecting your business from competitors that is clearly something in the interests of shareholders. If the railroads were run like this I could explain their behavior as standard short-sightedness where they refuse to make the capex investments required to grow their business in the future.

None of this gets into passenger rail service. I don't know that the US market would sustain anything like the numbers railroads did in their heyday but there are absolutely plenty of rail routes that would could have a sustainable and profitable business. With some minor capex they could even do high-speed passenger service to very high profit. Modern 150mph+ train service is stupid cheap and wildly profitable. At that speed you don't have many stops and the travel times are so short your crew labor costs are low. If you already own right-of-way your single most expensive and time-consuming blocker is a non-issue. So far Brightline and CA HSR are seemingly the only ones interested.
> I can take it home with me.

I own part of Google. I can't take it home with me. I don't even know what that would mean.

It is indeed possible to get a permit to build on/use public grounds.

> If I own it, I can refuse to allow everyone else to use it.

You can vote for representation that could in theory restrict access to just you. The other owners probably wouldn't agree to it, though. There are a lot of owners who want open access.

I think you're confusing things here. You seem to be talking about having full ownership of something, as if partial ownership isn't a thing.
This is to me like when people argue about banning airbnb.

"The other day I had arrived in a city and there were no hostels, all the hotels were $300/night or full. If there were no airbnb, what would I have done?"

And the answer is you would have changed your behaviour. Booking something further in advance, changing your travel plans, finding a different city to stay in.

The whole point of this idea is reducing the number of flights. That probably also means it's harder for people like you (and me) to live anywhere we want. But that is a privilege we have, not a given. If the cost is too great, we change our behaviour.

If airbnb has destroyed the rental market in a city, it's better for them to ban it and lose some travellers.

Similar argument to the "any-benefit" approach to technology, which Cal Newport writes about with relation to digital minimalism. We think we're justified in using a tool if we can identify any possible benefit to its use.
I think many tech history books are dry, unless they talk about the people and personalities.
