Consumers of the truck don't care. The car and the price has to make sense. Just making it "electric" is not good enough. If it charges longer, is heavier, or has reduced range or towing capacity, it better be a lot cheaper to operate/insure or have other pluses to compensate. If it doesn't people won't buy it.
This is an egregious comment. Why are you assuming the GP was satisfied in making this point. You are assuming the worst in this person just because you disagree.

(I lived in the Detroit area for nine months)

"Getting rid of the speculators" sounds good and might even BE good. But you know, Detroit's been in decline since the 1967 riots. No conceivable LVT is going to be a game changer. If the land isn't worth anything because no one wants to live there, that's the end of the story.

> which was a low rent neighborhood where most of the residential buildings were SROs.

It was. Now (south of Market, west of Civic Center BART) it's high rises, towers and lots of houses that have been remodeled and mid-rises on the side streets. Around Twitter basically. All of which expensive - because well, it's at the center and walking distance of everything.

And on transit like I said, yes it's there. And could even be decent. Except it's not. I mean, it's non-existent in other places. But that doesn't make it anywhere near "nice" in San Francisco. Again depending on the neighborhoods that you try to drive through no doubt. Many people still don't have a good alternative and use it. When we have to.
You are making some wildy off base assumptions. I'm not a finance guy, I'm a hacker. We do technical diligence. I was a developer for 20 years and am doing a music and CS phd right now. I've slung code in over a dozen languages, I'm the open source developer of Scheme for Max and the csound6~ port to Max, an electronic composer, and a gigging musician. I am currently bootstrapping a music education product in Python, Javascript, C++, and Scheme. You would be very hard pressed to find someone as embedded in the problem domain of bandcamp who also does acquisitions related work.

So I use bandcamp all the time, I have purchased tons of music on it, and the articles have not made any difference to me as a user at all. The only thing I care about is the band I'm purchasing from! I use bandcamp for three reasons: lossless audio, no DRM, fair payments to the band. None of those are at all relevant to their article efforts.

As for most people abhoring PE, believe me, I am under no illusions about our clients. But most software company exits are now PE deals (something like over 75%), so while people might like to make public noises about hating PE, they sure like to sell their companies to them.
Yes, I'm aware of the hardware differences, but were they significant enough to require software adjustments? I used both 8088 and 8086-based PCs in the second half of the eighties, and from a software perspective, they seemed identical. I assumed the same applied to BIOS code since, to the best of my recollection, software couldn't detect whether it was running on an 8088 or an 8086, even if it tried.

By the way, while the PS/2 series marked IBM's first use of the 8086 in a PC (specifically the PS/2 Model 25), clones had been using the 8086 for some time already. The 8086 worked seamlessly with the standard ISA bus, and as far as I know, no 8086-based systems used the PS/2-specific Microchannel bus.

I think the Wikipedia entry, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax, actually does a pretty good job explaining land value taxes, and specifically in explaining the benefits compared to property taxes.
This argument has often confused me when so many people are concerned with global warming. Why should a city incentive land owners to develop and commoditize their land?

If we want to reduce human impacts on the planet, why not incentive the opposite and incentive leaving the land natural?

Land value taxes prioritize GDP and profit above all else. Isn't that how we got into this mess in the first place?
Thanks for sharing. Estimating air mass and solar irradiance are definitely interesting topics - I'll take a look at what you've put together!
It is my understanding that 250% is lower than normal markup on automotive service parts bought from a. dealership.

Economy of cars is weird. As a manufacturer You sell today for a single price. But you have to account for free, expensive warranty work for many years. And recalls. And you have to manufacture, stock, and make available random parts in somewhat predictable but somewhat not quantities for decades.

So a gadget that may have cost 50c to produce technically, will be priced at 8.99,for any of the above reasons - subsidize warranty costs, storage costs, etc.

Basically, I wish most car parts had only 250% markup!

That's wild to me that they would set corporate policy to ignore such red flags.

It seems so obvious that this is the kind of thing the government is eventually going to go after.

I can only wonder if this was a policy made my management (CEO/CFO) that was hidden from the board? To boost performance for bonuses/stock/etc. and then leave the owners to clean up the mess when it was finally discovered?

IDK what JSM looked like to use, but .NET permissions were in some ways arcane and sneaky.

Back then, you often just ran VS as local admin, supply chain attacks weren't a 'real' thing most of the time, so NBD.

So then you try to deploy your app, and discover the joys of signed assemblies.

And you -make absolutely sure- when you leave, you give instructions to rebuild the whole pipeline if need be.

There is little that revolts me more than people working in technical companies, and seeing themselves as above the technical layer. I don't mind people not being software engineers, a lot of them are great, willing to learn a bit of context in order to do their job efficiently and facilitate mine. The same way I learn about the other functions. But I've worked with quite a number of managers, PMs and TPMs who talk down to me the moment I tell something even remotely technical, like I'm some sort of amateurish geek only tolerated at the adult's table. I do my best to stay away from these folks.

My group is largely functionality-oriented nerds of one sort or another, so other groups of men may well have significantly different prerogatives and are more "yargh big strong SUV yargh!" :)
Pretty sure you can't write off missing rent as a business loss.

Depreciation definitely needs to be fixed. You shouldn't be able to claim 3% of a structures value as business loss every year, without some sort of evidence that you will actually tear down the structure in 33 years. And perhaps after it has been counted as depreciated once, future owners shouldn't be allowed to deduct the depreciation either.
But fiber companies are actively advertising residential 10Gbps service…

I don’t think people realize that 20-30Mbps is likely enough for Netflix. What are they going to do with 300-500X of THAT?

Even full screen 4K Remote Desktop doesn’t need much.

Sure, it’s nice to download an ISO at 400Mbps and only have to wait a couple of minutes. But how many actually do that very frequently?

And yes WIFi has evolved, but how many people can actually sustain 1Gbps (or more) to the places in their house where they actually use it?

Or is some USB4 10G-BaseT adapter going to save the day? I feel like a step change in hardware is coming…

All sense and rationality went away a long time ago…

I’d rather have 100Mps Internet at $10/month instead of 1Gbps at $100/month.
This is pretty nice. But for the price, very small devs might not bother, and a larger app might as well roll their own. The calculations don't really seem intensive for either client or server.
The Atari 2600 was designed as a simple video game system like Pong or Breakout. It wasn't designed for complex games per se. Almost every game could be played without a user manual because they were so simple.

The Atari 5200 had better graphics and sound but didn't do as well as the 2600.
Land value taxes are generally set arbitrarily high. Localities are incentivized to set values as high as they can attempt to justify. They end up modeling what they think could be the most profitable or valuable development on the land then tax you as if that were already done.

Eventually the land ends up in the hands of the few willing and able to abuse the land to that level, prioritizing profit above all else.
Why does this idea bother humans us so much? It troubles us so much that something could be much smarter than us. That something is stronger than us is barely a consideration these days after we've automated nearly everything, yet we've still not transcended the idea that minds far greater than ours can and will be created.

Agreed - its not pure Georgism. It is however the closest experiment to Georgism in the US as far as I can tell having looked at their tax revenue sources (mostly property taxes with some petroleum production tax and no income tax) and the fact that they will attempt to increase the property taxes to market value on an empty lot. For now at least...

"What we're trying to do is value that land as if it were vacant — or that lot — and ready to be put to its highest and best use, which is to build a single-family home on, And we do that by looking at lot sales of what would be a competitive or a substitute product."
>> That's actually a feature, especially if you make sure that the authority who can do the zoning also gets the revenue (or at least shares in it). That way aligns incentives.

This is only a positive if your goal is to upzone everything. If you think cities should be a mix of zoning and zoning shouldn't be driven by tax considerations, then this is very negative, since the land management department has an incentive to increase zoning and taxes.

>> LVT doesn't do anything like that. The whole point of LVT is that it has no influence on land use choices: you literally pay the same LVT no matter how you use the land.

I don't agree that's how the incentives work.

If you don't tax structures you absolutely incentivize building structures, because they earn money but pay no tax.

In a land+building tax structure, there is less incentive to build a structure because they pay tax.

If I have a lot of green space and few structures, and we convert to LVT, I will be taxed proportionally higher than before, or than my neighbor with less land and more structures. By taxing me more you are dis-incentivising my approach.

How do current climate scientists reconcile reporting the relatively slow loss of glacial ice at both poles currently is something that’s unnatural, worrying, proof of humans destroying the planet, a doomsday scenario for life on earth… with the fact that North America was covered by a sheet of ice that was 2-3 kilometres thick only 20,000 years ago. A blink in geological time.

Disclaimer: Yes, human greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climate change etc etc. Yes we should be moving away from fossil fuels. I wholeheartedly agree with all the correct views. But even the most conservative napkin math on the average loss of ice that occurred long before humans were emitting with more than a few thousand campfires globally is orders of magnitude more than we observe now. And that ignores the fact that melt rate accelerates as mass decreases for ice, which would be expected if humans never existed in the first place.

> [...] Dropbox was using a 90/10 rule, with 90% of the year spent on remote work and the remaining 10% spent on a handful of employee off-sites.

What's an "employee off-site"? Rented offices or something?

Kind of sounds like the worst of both worlds to me. You still have to live close enough to whatever one of those sites is to commute in a few weeks a year, but you get none of the social benefits since I'm sure nobody's schedules will match up.

How is that better than just full remote, or remote with completely optional office space?
Taxing the structure on the land is a negative incentive on developing the land
Imagine a scenario where land purchase prices hover very close to $0. This is the end result of an effective LVT.

It means that you only pay for the structures, or the cost to remove a blighted structure, etc. It makes real estate more liquid, and allows more people to try their hand at development without having a massive land bank worth millions of dollars.

It decentralizes these decisions and lets more local players get involved. It rewards those who are productive, and encourages those who are squatting on resources to let somebody else give it a shot.
Checkmate, biotics.

The price is going up in '24 as well, by about 4k per model. However they are putting their Co-Pilot package (blind spot info system, collision detection, lane keep), extended range fuel tank and 12" screen standard across the board. This is bound to annoy fleet purchases but overall at 37K it's a nice truck at the basic trim level.

The Co-Pilot stuff is good to have standard as it increases the safety of the big, unwieldy trucks.
France does this.

End result is that french people go to great lengths to make their house look un-valuable.

For example, they never paint anything and never do repairs. Some even have holes in the roof so they can claim buildings are worthless when in fact there is some 2nd roof underneath keeping the inside dry.
One thing I think Strong Towns would do better to emphasize is that their argument that suburbs are financially unsustainable applies more to those suburbs of struggling towns or small cities. I don't believe suburbs of large, economically healthy cities are running into unsustainable infrastructure costs nearly as much. They may run into funding difficulties if the suburb becomes an undesirable area, or if the pension fund bankrupts the city, but they don't seem to be running into the issue that their property taxes can't fund them.
Real estate is the most durable investment. A plurality of wealthy people became so via real estate.

It is also reasonably resilient to inflationary dilution.

I'm fortunate to be still earning. You could spend your life building a small nest egg and paying off a home to retire in and have it just litigated right out from under you.

Your argument is "time marches on" but then what value in saving and accruing capital? It's all short sighted transactional consumerism or bust. That's no way to live.

Generally, land is valuable (and therefore under this scheme highly taxed) because people want to live there. And if they can't live there, they'll live somewhere else, likely involving a longer commute that is worse for the environment.
We should not reduce energy use. Energy and prosperity are the same thing. The only way out of the climate crisis is innovation, which cheap energy accelerates. The moment we create the tesseract, the climate crisis is solved. With unlimited energy, we can purify infinite water, capture carbon, send drones into the atmosphere.

Say we cut our energy consumption and carbon emissions by 50%. This would disproportionately affect the poor and kill millions (deaths due to cold/heat), and we still have the same climate problem in double the time.

The choice is accelerate innovation OR decelerate emissions. Which has the better track record for humanity?

I have no idea where they are in that scale of course.
One approach to assessing land value is to have the property owner self declare.

But then that self declaration gets published in an official register, and anyone offering 1.5x that declared value gets to buy the land without the owners ability to refuse.
