That’s not what the empirical evidence suggests (though it’s a big topic of study).

Taxable income is public information in Sweden, and you can basically buy a catalog containing the previous years income for everyone in a given area if you'd like.

Stuff like addresses and so on is also public information in Sweden, for what it's worth. This always makes me feel a bit strange when hearing people considering releasing someone's address to be doxxing and something horrible - like you can just look up any person in Sweden, and the societal consequence is that literally nothing happens. Same with the incomes, nothing whatsoever happens from having this be public.

The 10x seems very unrealistic. But assuming that were the case, the taxes would be the least of your worries because things like supermarkets, electricity, phone, water, heating... would also go up heavily.

The more realistic picture is that grandma living alone in a rather large, old house, whose price, heating etc. went up quite drastically. That is already happening, in particular the heating part. Just have a look at Europe and the UK. The question then is, and I am not picking a side here, whether you spend public money so she can afford to stay in that large house or you make changes.

And here’s a big reason why. Advertising companies should point to this as a reason why people should give them money.
Superficial take IMO.

Don’t need a selective pressure for a cognitive process to work in a particular way. You just need a selective pressure for the cognitive skill and for the way that skill works to at least not have a pressure against it, biology being full of engineering compromises.

Learning well with handwriting, IMO, has little to do with hands specifically, but memory and understanding in general, where the spatially situated product of the action (on a specific piece of paper used and then kept in a specific place) taken in a properly free form manner with much more analogue detail (paper is a blank canvas and handwriting will have nuance throughout a piece of writing) that most likely also slows you down and forces a huge number of little decisions all facilitate the task of memorisation and recall.

That spatially attendant information assists memory seems to me very plausibly consistent with primate evolution where most if not all tasks benefiting from memory would have had such information as either a fundamental component or readily associated.

For similar reasons, I think there’s something to be said for sorting important information in physical books on shelves, where the location of information in the physical space can aid recall.

I think it’s easy to forget just how weirdly disconnected and abstract the computer interface is from everything else we use in the world.

Ideally, computers ought to be driving at optimising for humans rather than merely what works well for the tech. I think that’s been left behind too much.
How to Exclaim
Like all things, if it's done as a cargo-cult activity, then yes it can sap a lot of time for little reward. However, when done well, a 1:1 can be a high-value activity.

I'd agree with you that weekly can sometimes be the wrong cadence; some individuals will find that an encroachment. I set the goal with my reports that they own the 1:1 meeting invite and can set the cadence as they see fit, within some prescribed limits. That has tended to have good results.

How can you come up with an "upper bound estimate" without having some idea of the structure of the computation of the specific 748 state Turing Machine in question?

Imagine you had an oracle telling you BB(748) excluding this machine. How do you get an upper bound on the runtime of this machine?

(There is an answer: this is surely not the optimal construction, and so such an oracle would give you an answer for some smaller ZFC machine which you could likely use to extrapolate a value for this machine. However, eventually you'll find a minimal state ZFC machine and that won't work anymore.)

The biggest issue with generic or burnt in ads is that they're not targeted ads. The value of an ad which isn't targeted is more than an order of magnitude less than one which is targeted.

Traditional free-to-air broadcasting (mostly) works financially because they pay once for the transmission, it's a largely fixed fee to cover an area, and then they get paid for the audience they potentially reach. Even still the broadcasters have to pay to have market research agencies run surveys to figure out what's being watched and by whom. When pay TV providers became able to get telemetry from set-top boxes the value of the addressable market rocketed because the audience was no longer hypothetical, it could be measured, analysed and segmented.

The reason you get crap ads when personalisation is turned off is because the advertisers who have money want their advertising dollars spent on addressable market, not on random NPCs. A non-addressable ad is cheaper, so that's the market for who's buying the ads. I hate ads, so I have YouTube Premium Family, that works great because I can see content without interruption and I support the independent content creators. I also run PiHole because some sites and services are just so loaded with advertising that it's annoying, so I might well be hypocritical here.

But the biggest issue that people don't understand, or think they understand but totally under estimate, is the technical challenge of delivering every video on YouTube everywhere in the world with fair quality. I build streaming infrastructure at scale (not for Google) and I'll tell you that it's really expensive to do what they do and yet people take it for granted. They feel entitled to watch YouTube because Google represents the evil establishment, without recognising the challenges they face.

I don't agree with the idea that it's good to write apps that mooch off YouTube just because they're a big corporation. Yup, it's not piracy, it's probably on the lighter side of the grey area of unauthorised API abuse. If you want to build a competing service to Google that comes without personalised ads and has great content, I wish you all the best but when you get the CDN bill, you'll understand. There's a cost per viewed minute that's probably unsustainable. Heck, even traditional broadcasters who have launched their own streaming services have struggled to make money, and that's with targeted advertising enabled.
Interesting idea, but what reasons do we have to think this would this be true?
Land value tax often goes hand in hand with lax zoning.

In your example, if the grandma's house went from 200k to a 1million, then she isn't poor anymore. She is very rich.

She doesn't have to leave the neighborhood. She can give her house away for redevelopment into a condo. Get the nice penthouse flat and a pretty penny on the same land. Now, she has enough liquidity to pay the land value tax, which is also lower per person because it's distributed over the whole condo.

This is happening in India right now. Apartments are redeveloped into towers. Old residents get 2x the floor space and decent relocation $$ for the construction period. No one is being kicked out of their house. Most people move to another spot within a 10 minutes walk from their home for 3 years and then come back when the building is done.

State-space volume+volatility intraday model for SP500: code and paper
I'm sure your intent was to express a hypothetical that this might not be a net good, but...

Something like 90% of boomers want to age in place (as opposed to moving in with family, or moving into some assisted living arrangement). This is a problem when that effectively locks up 40% of the housing stock.

Does this "little old lady" need a 1-acre lot for her gardening when she can barely walk to the end of it and back? Or could that lot be parceled up into 4 single-family homes, or dozens of apartment units?

Also: that small house will grow in value (along with the property taxes) until the value of the land almost entirely dominates. My parents are in one such situation -- anyone who would buy their house would assuredly tear it down to build something bigger.

Taking a very high level view of this: the compressor can't know about the rules that are the difference between a .weird file that is valid .js and a byte sequence that is not and neither can it know the difference between bytes that are valid .js and look like .weird and are part of the subset that are encodings of a .js file and those that are not.

The compressor builds a more or less accurate model of observed probabilities, but even the most optimal encoding would still have to keep escape hatches around for all other bit sequences. Those escape hatches are not free.

I think it best to make your own opinion based on the arguments presented to you.

I agree the ads are obnoxious, but hosting YouTube is incredibly expensive, and online ads are incredibly cheap so... Even if they _weren't_ being greedy there would need to be A LOT of ads to compensate for the hosting & engineering costs.

Like... If you hate the ads THAT MUCH, but want to continue using the service, why not just pay for the service?
