I suspect they are trying to do for gaming what they did for videos. Saying it's not going to happen is like saying video streaming just isn't going to happen. The tech was far behind but it caught up.
It absolutely does make a difference. As I mentioned in my original comment, it enables consolidation of components and functions. Take apart an old CRT and a modern LCD screen and in the new TV you will see a single IC doing the job of multiple separate boards in the old TV. This is where a lot of the cost has come out of. All thanks to the capabilities of modern ICs...powered by Moores law.
Under building is caused by NIMBYISM which exists without opposition because we don't value and tax land fairly.

Stop letting low tax paying SFHing leech off the system, and we will be incentivized to build more.

I think it's more like: "Hey vacant property owner downtown, we'd like this vacant property to be developed into apartments, shops, cafés, business, etc. But, you have no intention of improving this land or maybe you're waiting for a grant you'll never get. You're welcome to keep this land, but we're going to tax you at a rate that we as a municipality think this land should be worth"

I don't about increasing taxes on home owners, but more so disincentivizing siting on vacant property that could otherwise be used better.

You're welcome to sit on that property, but you're incentivized to get it rented instead of not developing it.
That’s literally explained in the article. It’s worth reading more than the headline.

Ed: actually, that’s even spelled out in the headline.
Just to offer a counterpoint - there's so many indie and small bands I've found while listening to Pandora. Most or all of which I would have never discovered otherwise.

Sure, maybe they don't pay as much as me buying the CD would for the artist - but I likely would have never found them any other way. Now, they get something every time I listen to their songs.

I would, however, enjoy much higher quality audio. Even with the top tier Pandora plan, it's still MP3's, albeit high quality MP3's.
People came to Bandcamp for music, not some fancy eye popping website. I'm glad they have not redesign their website.

Property taxes can apply to all types of property. The idea is the more valuable the property, the more expensive it is for the state to defend it for you (via police, etc.)

In practice, real estate is the 20x more valuable than any other personal property, so it doesn't make sense to tax anything else. Cars are subject to a registration fee.

If you own expensive business machinery, that may be subject to tax in some states. My county also taxes boats and airplanes.
Agreed - the many counties in the US already have a portion of the property tax bill coming from a land value tax/Georgianism.

California property tax bills have two components [1][2]:

- structure/improvement assessed value

- land value assessed value

The land value component is re-accessed frequently and changes based on comparables (presumably but its mostly black box).

The question is to what degree/portion of Georgianism to apply and what to do when the land value component starts going up infinitely that its starts hurting the electorate.

Do you introduce alternative tax sources (i.e. income)? Do you introduce caps on annual land value increases or add a bunch of waivers for specific use cases (i.e. primary homes, day cares)?

Or do you just stick with the unrelenting assessed value increases and go free market/no pain no gain/survival of the fittest on the electorate?

Basically Texas is basically the US experiment closest to pure Georgianism.

The opposite should be true because as density goes up the cost of services go down.

What's the alternative? Letting SFH leach off the current system paying less in taxes than the government spends to service them?

Man Called Fran
Nothing new. Middle managers are the traditional food for layoffs. Have been, for decades.

For me, I was a "first line" manager of a small, rather high-functioning team, for 25 years.

I was quite capable of going up the food chain, but didn't want to. I liked getting my hands dirty, and being directly connected to the product.

I was a really good manager. I took the job seriously, and did well for the company (see "25 years," above). It was a Japanese company, and it's pretty tough to keep Japanese managers happy.

I also hated being a manager. When I left the company, and got to do my own gig, I ran back to IC status, as fast as my little legs could go.

I've found that SO varies a lot by tech/language. In my experience, the C++ and JS subworlds are pretty brutal. C# is middle-of-the-road when it comes to culture. Clojure is very friendly and welcoming, but obviously more niche. This may explain why folks have different experiences on the same site.
If you release this app, I will buy it as soon as it is available.
It already is. And it’s actually pretty good. It’s not there for multiplayer (least to me) but single player games are absolutely fine now. Xcloud is pretty good and people say GeForce now is even better.
More available because increasing the holding cost of underutilized land means owners would be marginally pressured to sell.

More affordable because the tax increases the holding cost of land which is factored into a buyer's purchase budget, much like how mortgage interest rates factor into a buyer's budget.

First let's assume the supply of land for sale is fixed. Of course land is in fixed quantity but I'm talking only about sales inventory – what is actively on the market to purchase. Say I can afford $4,000 per month. If property tax is $1,000 per month and interest rate is 6% maybe I say my purchase budget is $500,000. If interest rate decreases to 3% maybe I say my purchase budget is $700,000. Now consider if the property tax increased to $2,000 per month. Now if interest is 6% my purchase budget becomes $330,000 and if 3% then $475,000. In either case I still pay $4000 total per month. The economic incidence of the tax falls completely on the seller (the previous owner).

Now let's remove our prior assumption about the quantity of land for sale. we earlier established that land would be more available under a higher land value tax because of the increased holding cost incentivizing more sales. That increase in supply (of land for sale) should reduce the market price for land. I can either get the same land for less purchase price or more/higher quality land for the same.

> difficulty in valuing the land.

It's rather easy to value the land: Have the owner decide what it's worth, then they pay a tax as a percentage of that valuation.

Now, obviously given that system everyone's going to value their land at $0.

To adjust for that land owners must be obligated to sell their land to anyone willing to buy it at the declared valuation.

Such a mechanism doesn't only keep the current owners honest, but leads to more accurate price discovery, as the land might have a higher "real" valuation than the current owner is aware of.
It's not. OP was asking about setenv, not getenv...

You have to pay personal property tax on pretty much anything with a motor in Missouri. It's how they sell the population on low land property taxes.
Why would old people be homeless? The cause of them being forced out is that they own an immensely valuable asset but live on relatively little income. That asset would then presumably be sold for cash. Any house expensive enough to create this situation would also give them enough hard cash to live out the rest of their lives in relative comfort.

This is essentially a relatively benign form of eminent domain, which has the same consequences without the implication of a good financial outcome.

Fair enough, but given that it was written by one of the most powerful tech VCs on the planet, I think it's worthy of discussion just to be clear about how powerful tech billionaires think.
A land value tax seeks to only tax the value of the land itself, not the improvements. Of course that's not always easy to assess, but neither are property values for normal property taxes.

Even setting that aside, if the land value taxes on the land that someone owns dramatically increase then that means the value of their property has dramatically increased, and they can sell the land for a dramatic profit. Certainly it sucks that someone might have to sell; however, don't think that someone who becomes rich due to their home value appreciating is really much of a victim in the grand scheme of things.

>This lead to a huge distrust in Sony, and accelerated the switch from the Cell to the emerging GPGPU technology for respective scientific calculation. Thus, this was some PR disaster for Sony.

Any proof of this? As far as I could tell, Cell was a dead end as a lot of the top tier benefits never really materialized irrespective of Sony shenanigans. Serious scientists used the server offerings from IBM. IBM eventually stopped supporting their server offerings for the most part. Why would they do this other than people stopped finding the architecture good for their needs?

> Change your job. Change your relationship. Change the city where you live. Change your primary hobby. Change your friends.

As much as I admire the sentiment here to change the surroundings that puts someone in the vicious cycle of negative thinking, most of these are impractical. Changing a job as easy as you say is a privilege most can't afford in my opinion.
There’s a lot to unpack in the quoted passage, but it is not an ad hominem attack. That you think it is, and then turn around to make an ad hominem argument of your own explains your misinterpretation.
> wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.

It technically needs to be a different letter to mark a "short i", like "й" in Russian or Ukrainian. If we use "ï' for it, the "year" will become "ïear", "yellow" will become "ïellow". The "y" that reads as "i" will just switch to "i", and "my" will become "mai".
If it takes you longer to vet hallucinations than to just test your code better, is it an improvement? If you accept a bug fix for a hallucination that you got too lazy to check because you grew dependent on AI to do the analysis for you, and the bug "fix" itself causes other unforeseen issues or fails to recognize why an exception in this case might be worth preserving, is it really an improvement?
Antarctic Ice Shelf Demise
Why would the land value spiral upwards? At some point the land becomes not worth buying/developing, so there’s still downward pressure on price.

Or are you suggesting the tax rate will spiral upward infinitely? Again, at some point that just means it’s not worth buying the land unless the productivity possible on it is through the roof as well.
Yes, at least among my colleagues - both in the US and India offices.
Doesn't almost every C library function potentially call getenv()? printf()ing a number requires checking the locale which can be configured via the environment, after all.

I'd say you shouldn't be calling setenv() at all once you've spawned threads.
I think you still need iTunes on your computer for it. You have to import your music into your iTunes library and sync your phone with a computer.

Purchases, similarly, can be redownloaded on the computer. They're all DRM-free AAC, since the early 2000s.

I've mostly used Spotify in the past decade, but it seems to all work the way it always has. They just shove Apple Music (not the same as iTunes) in your face when you open the Music app, until you turn it off.
Perhaps.

But I doubt this is a value prop people want.

I think this makes a good case for something in between that can display the annoying popup chat bubbles, but can't override toasts.

As a listener of hardcore and punk since I was a teen, Bandcamp is the place to be. It is the only site where I can get music from my local scene too even though I don't go to shows anymore. I am grateful to Bandcamp, hope someone will acquire them that truly knows music business, etc.
The main disadvantage I see is that, despite being able to absorb all tax requirements, politicians and voters wouldn't be able to resist tacking on other types of taxes on top of it.
Do you think Tesla falls under "government-funded media"? Last I checked they made cars. But if they start a newspaper, and the federal govt financed it, I'd support the label.

The Runway Acceleration Program
I thought I had a pretty good grasp on this, but the idea that an infinite sum of higher order moments uniquely defines a distribution in a way analogous to a Taylor series, was new and super interesting! It gives credence to the shorthand that the lower order moments (mean, variance, etc) are the most important properties of a distribution to capture, and is how you should approximate an unknown distribution given limited parameters.

The flaw with your comment is that you could pretty much post it in any city’s subreddit or discussion forum and it would be a common trope.

There’s always a bloc of people who believe that everything has gotten out of hand these days, everything is chaos, things were better back in the good old days. It’s unproductive bitter nonsense.

Then they go on and complain about the bloated city budget without doing any research on why that is. In San Francisco, many revenue generating agencies that normally aren’t part of city government feed income into the budget, like the Port of San Francisco, which makes the budget look bigger overall. It has departments that in other cities might be part of county or state government instead. Also, San Francisco is legally required to balance their budget.

I’d like to say that my advice to bitter city forum members would be to just move already and get it over with, but we all know they’d spend their time complaining about the next place they’re living.

Iran Warns Expansion of Israel-Hamas War Becoming 'Inevitable'
These things are amazing when you first experience but I think in most cases the user fails to realise how common their particular bug is. But then you also need to realise there maybe bugs in what has been suggested. We all know there are issue with stack overflow responses too.

This deals with the 'original' Hammer, this is way above my head, and I don't know how much applies to either OS or the HAMMER2 so this is just me posting another link but:

"There are several major differences:

* All VOP operations related to the namecache... those using named
path elements like lookup, rename, etc... those are completely
different.

The biggest one is that our VOP_NRESOLVE() API is completely different
from the old VOP_LOOKUP() API. The old VOP_LOOKUP() API had to handle
numerous side effects and I don't recall the FreeBSD namecache
subsystem doing any namespace locking (beyond locking vnodes, that
is).

Also our VOP_NREMOVE() is fairly radically different... it's an all
in one call whereas the older VOP_REMOVE was paired with a VOP_LOOKUP
that stored side-effects (not sure if FreeBSD has cleaned that up yet).
i.e. old was LOOKUP(save side effects) + REMOVE(use side effects).
And DragonFly's is just NREMOVE().

* HAMMER uses a far more sophisticated buffer cache call-back interface
which allows HAMMER to veto write requests from the buf_daemon's (to
enforce certain write ordering requirements).

* DragonFly uses a locking model that I don't think FreeBSD has an API
for (our token locking model which releases held locks within the
model when a thread switches out and reacquires them when the thread
switches back in). If FreeBSD also has an API for this model this
would be easy to port (if not for all of the above issues).

* DragonFly uses a slightly different stacked BUF/BIO mechanic for I/O.
This would be easy to port (if not for all of the above issues).

* DragonFly's BUF/BIO allows for different buffer sizes within the
file buffers (not just the device buffers). Generally speaking
there can be significant mixing of buffer sizes and the cluster code
has to be able to deal with it given appropriate argumetns. I don't
think FreeBSD's cluster code could handle it.

Personally I think it might be too much for a GSOC project.
