It's been being tested in retail already (see for example: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s41272-019-00224-3) and the main thing holding stores back from implementing it is that most people think discriminatory pricing is wrong. Companies are working very hard to convince us to let them do it though. Their foot in the door is offering "deals" to only certain people. You see this in things like store loyalty cards or Xbox's "just for you" prices (https://www.windowscentral.com/xbox-microsoft-store-just-for...). It's all just trying to condition us to accept that some people deserve different prices/treatment than other people.

If I were building this type of system I'd do away with electronic labels and just force people to scan a QR code with their cell phones, then use that data collected from their device to find out their income level, past purchase history, etc. then use that data to display their "price" (subject to change at any moment) right on their device along with ingredients, nutritional data, product information, ads, etc. Then I'd either generate a QR code on their device for them to scan at self-checkout, use Bluetooth to detect the device when they stood at the checkout counter, or use facial recognition. Either way, knowing what price the computer offered would be dead simple and the price of whatever is being purchased could (and probably would) change from the time you picked it off of the shelf and when it got scanned at the register. I'd be your responsibility to accept the prices or not when you pay.

Pretty apt name, considering what the software does.
If the land of Joe's neighbours has no restrictions at all, it will be valuable. But if Joe's land has a weird zoning that says 'can only be used by Joe' that land would be nearly worthless on the market, but good for Joe.

Less extreme, if you have a neighbourhood with plots that allow unlimited building and a few plots that only allow single family homes, the latter would be a lot cheaper.
Vacant lot tax? Oh no, as you can see I put a shed there.

We inherited our implementation from OpenSolaris, as did Oracle when they created their Solaris 11 fork. I expect at least some of the BSDs have probably fixed this as well.

I was wondering if maybe the state of data feeds has changed, seems like there are so many competing data feeds now - https://docs.openbb.co/terminal/usage/guides/api-keys

but one does wonder if they are same quality as expensive professional feeds like bloomberg, keeping up with splits and ticker changes etc.
Trader Joe's appears to have the same mentality (but slightly different scale/demographic). Low variety of SKUs, but decent quality and price.

I don't know if shopping at Costco or TJs "feels like winning", but shopping at Walmart/Kroger joints definitely feels like losing. The latter are a minefield of fake sales & arcane pricing, strategically overpriced crap, and simply too much variety (choice paralysis). Usually amid a depressing environment (poorly treated workers). If I want endless variety, I simply shop online.
> More generally, do you have to legally agree to Terms and Conditions to communicate with service provider's servers over HTTPS? Do you legally agree to them after you communicate one packet in such a way?

Browsewrap agreements (agreeing by using the site) are pretty much unenforceable to your point. I'm not sure this is the same thing however.

Youtube don't offer a customer facing consumable service for offering an ad free experience outside of Premium or their Developer API. The app is deliberately bypassing the provided services. Bypassing those published mechanisms is hacking, and depending on where you are, may not be legal. I suspect for most consumers of HN, this would be the case.

Browser crawlers fall under fair use. I'm not sure this does.

I get it. I don't like ads either.
Me watching a sponsor segment isn't going to make any money for the video creator. They're being paid by the sponsor to place the segment in their video; there's no way for the sponsor to track who watches it. The segment is just a waste of my time.

This is separate from YouTube itself tracking who watches the video, and for how long (and if they skip any), and if they watch any ads, and then giving a bit of money to the creator for the ad views.
If there was no modern industrial agricultural, probably fewer people would have been born to be at risk of starving to death.

When the synthetic inputs disappear (due to, say, war or supply chain disruption) or the soil is simply too exhausted & eroded altogether, lots of people starve.

People want "sustainable" agriculture so that the system is resilient to shocks. It's possible to have this and feed the same amount of people. Maybe even for a lower percentage of GDP. But it requires a drastically different approach to the problem.
Land ownership must be enforced by court of law, and that's true of all property. Yet land ownership is the easiest to maintain. While my neighbor might take my lawnmower and claim it as his own and the courts would have difficulty proving otherwise. Land is difficult to walk off with. Maintaining ownership is simply a matter of maintaining accurate and secure records.

Also, as a neat interpolation between the two vectors, you can think of doing linear interpolation between x := 0 and 1; c1 * c^x where c1 is a complex number component of the first vector and c the complex scalar multiple between the two vectors, rinse and repeat for each component. (Didn't test this in code yet, though) In my mind, this should lead the point cloud of the first vector to spirally slide to form the second vector.

As of right now, pylsp has some nice features that ruff doesn’t cover yet, like the jedi, rope, and black stuff. The editor I’m currently using doesn’t easily — at all? — support multiple servers at once. Today, that means it’s easiest for me to use it as a plugin under pylsp.
I don't think tax law fears complexity. You make a table and there is an entry for "parcel of land with grass taller than 6 inches and containing one or more 1980s automobile with 3 or more tires" right alongside "parking lot" or "hospital".

An LVT is good, but conventional property taxes are still much better than most other forms of taxation. Conventional property taxes don't cause astronomical housing costs.

California for example is partially so dysfunctional because they don't have enough conventional property taxes.

Yes, conventional property taxes disincentise building, but not more than capital gains taxes or income taxes do. And in large parts of eg California houses only cost a small fraction of the land they sit on at the moment.

Nutritionally, wild salmon is a much better choice compared to farmed salmon. I don't see the article addressing this issue. I would love to see the brand highlight their nutritional profile vs other farmed salmon. Eating more of this farmed salmon is generally an improvement for a typical diet. However, for example -- the company on their FB page looks to use "Skretting" feed. Skretting is not a bad choice, but it is not the same as the salmon's diet in the wild: https://www.skretting.com/en-us/transparency-and-trust/faqs/...

You're looking at market cap when you should be looking at volume. 5% of the stock market going liquid at a higher than ambient rate can reduce valuations by significantly more than 5%, possibly multiples more. And as we saw with interest rate hikes and bonds the past couple of years, something like that is a systemic risk and the fallout can easily cascade.

First order effects are usually stronger than second order effects.

Imagine you are considering to start a small manufactory, say for artisanal socks. You can purchase land anywhere, since the bank will lend to you at a cheap rate backed by the land as collateral. You consider two options; option 1 is in a dense urban area, close to your workers and walkable with lots of public transit. The land is expensive due to nearby amenities. Option 2 is some exurbian land that is accessible via commute. The land is cheap. Assume without LVT that option 1 is preferred because it provides a better lifestyle for your workers. Now add LVT; the tax rate on the urban land is set based on rents, so the fact that a bank would lend cheaply against good collateral no longer matters; you cannot afford the land because local rents are too high.

It’s just a thought experiment to demonstrate a simple principle; society gets less of whatever is taxed.
"The transition, spearheaded by the Federal Ministries of Finance and Interior, is aimed at providing users with highly secure access to an array of government and commercial services, along with the ability to sign digital documents in an easy and swift manner. The ID Austria is also promised to be usable throughout the European Union soon, hinting toward a far-reaching blueprint that could be replicated elsewhere."

Sounds good to me.

"Despite the convenience bandwagon that ID Austria seems to promise, the critical concern of safeguarding citizens’ privacy rights cannot be overlooked."

For once, could you articulate these privacy concerns instead of spouting conspiracy theories?

People don't walk away because they can't afford taxes. It's because any dollar spent is negative NPV!
Did they really not fire anyone or close any buildings (reducing wear and tear)? It seems like their fixed costs do decrease significantly. Facilities upkeep is incredibly expensive and needs a lot of staff to make happen.
Appeal to authority is a weak argument. We are trying to use reason to figure out what's going on, not close the discussion by saying that we are not the entity that gets to decide such things.
One of the things going on in the market is CAFE rules in the US encouraging trucks and suvs as it allows them to make a larger profit than standard pedestrian vehicles. The car companies market these vehicles very aggressively.

I thought that was about gas engines, but because there are so many on the road now people want bigger vehicles to be “safer” from everyone else on the street, which is a vicious cycle. The minivan was very popular until car companies started pushing the suv as a way around CAFE. The thing we need to do is remove the CAFE exemptions for trucks, and this problem might start correcting itself.
Yes, a property tax system disincentivises developing compared to not having a property tax.

The LVT has no influence on building.

If you draw a two-by-two matrix where the columns are property tax yes/no and the rows are LVT yes/no, you will find that the rows have no influence at all, and it's all about which column you are in.
The way I see it, taxes are disincentives on bad behavior. So if you tax high value property more then it hurts people who want to improve their properties.
> I think about each of the employees impacted by the company's reckless behavior.

The "reckless behavior" in the above quote was not committed by the acquirer, but by whoever was responsible for leading + growing Bandcamp off this cliff.

In the same way you want to treat humans like humans, you need to treat businesses like businesses – i.e., if you're not making money or growing revenue fast enough to justify hiring the marginal employee, as a hiring manager, you're gambling with the prospective hire's career in pursuit of a collective gain.

If you're an employee joining an unprofitable company, this is part of the package and should be really clear in the interviewing/onboarding. If it isn't, again, the blame falls at the feet of the CEO, ultimately.
Yeah. Except you legally have to. Not every doctor can prescribe every medication.
It’s also actually better for the environment, in that wild salmon sustainability is inextricably entangled with environment health. If things aren’t just so, the runs don’t run, and it’s lose-lose.
The Case for Innovation, Progress and Abundance: Some Readings
According to some rudimentary Google sleuthing, the battery alone costs about $35K which is about the starting cost of a new gasoline F-150. So yes, the battery alone (i.e., excluding electric motors) is much more expensive than an entire ICE drivetrain.

It's essentially very difficult to make a cheaper electric pickup truck because batteries are expensive and you need to have a lot of battery capacity to move a big, boxy pickup truck ~300 miles on a single charge. If you trade off range, people won't buy it (it's already hard enough to persuade pickup truck owners to buy something that has very little towing range and for which there aren't good charging options for a truck with a trailer in tow) and there isn't a lot you can do to make up the range by lightening or streamlining the vehicle without increasing costs. Maybe economies of scale could help, but it's hard to imagine economies of scale without increased demand, which is hard to imagine without lower costs, etc.
Upvoting because the sentiment is accurate; most truck detractors do not have adequate understanding of why they are popular (and thus also don't understand how hypocritical an electric truck is, as EV tech stands today) and what purposes they serve their drivers.
> Threads exist to fix the bad design (not that they are a good fix, especially since they are designed by people who believe that there's nothing major wrong with C, and the thousand and first patch will definitely fix the remaining problems).

The thing that needs fixing is mostly people like you, purporting falsehoods while lacking deeper understanding how it works / how it's used.

Threads are a concept that exists independently from any language. They are the unit of execution that is scheduled by the OS. If a program should be multi-threaded with parallel execution (instead of only concurrent execution), by necessity you need to create multiple threads. (Or run the program multiple times in parallel and share the necessary resources, but that's much less convenient and lacks some guarantees).
I’m convinced that the genre of boring Podcasts for sleeping is a large but undefined market. I listen to “in our time” and “The Guardian Long Reads” and “conversations with Tyler”.

The content has to be not so boring it’s annoying, but slow paced and open ended enough that I can fall asleep. Audio books fiction or otherwise, don’t do it for me, I guess I’m too invested and end up following along.

I’ll take any recommendations!
Ah, that makes more sense, thank you.

Well, they could do what Kurzgesagt does: sell merchandise. They have some really nice posters.
Yeah. The practical uses for an F150 (towing, hauling) seem ridiculous for an EV. The Ranger/Maverick would have been better candidates.
I'll take your special gripe and raise you one. My gripe is not being able to get rid of the icons in favor of the text labels. There's a reason alphabetic (and similar) writing systems won out over hieroglyphics, and why we don't use both today.

And this is not just Mac OS, it's Microsoft and an increasing amount of Windows-compatible software. I wouldn't mind the Ribbon half as much if I could just turn off the hieroglyphs, I mean the icons, and keep the text labels.
The vast majority of profession artists I know and love have a Bandcamp account. Maybe in the early stages musicians just want feedback on their new "beat". However, at some point they want to have a professional looking profile with releases that they can sell, with a community they can reach out to, merchandise they can roll out at their own pace, etc etc.

You are probably talking to very early stage musicians who would enjoy using Soundcloud over Bandcamp for feedback reasons.
For one thing, it could delegate to a local service. Granted, the communication to this service is probably still be over a socket interface, but at least as a purely-local connection you would hopefully have some better worst-case performance characteristics.

This is basically what dnsmasq does when you use it as a local DNS cache.
Where did you find $14K? I'm seeing $35K for a replacement--is Ford really marking these up $20K / 250%?

The morning after the Lightning announcement, I put money down on one. I've never bought a brand new vehicle, never owned a truck, never owned a Ford. That's how impressive the vehicle was - its features AND price.

Then the wait came, and with it, the price hike. I was expecting around $40k or so, all in. By the time I was able to place an order, I could only get a premium trim, and I would have had to pay beyond $75k, iirc. So I won't be buying a Ford anytime soon. Too bad.
North Dakota requires pharmacies be owned by independent pharmacists. It works. Other states could follow, if they so choose. It is a choice. Prevents private equity roll ups, prevents consolidation, and is proven to be beneficial for all parties involved.

Well it doesn't matter because the parent post completely disengaged from the site. Turning away potentially active users seems like a horrible move that the owners of SO didn't try to fix and possibly led them to where they are today.
There are ~4 minivans on the market because there isn't lots of demand or profit there. Don't expect an EV in that segment any time soon.

To end consumers you're asking them to pay 15k+ "for the same thing". Obviously not true but when the F-150 vs F-150 the 15k is a lot?

People are used to paying some 10-20% for "extras" but 35k + 15k?! that's a big leap.
Stopping by to say this is super cool! I've been pretty obsessed with this idea for a while — here's an analysis I did a few years back: https://github.com/gusgordon/atmospheric_satellite

I got a minimum wingspan of around 8m for self-sustaining flight on the winter solstice with a small payload — pretty close to what you all built.

The biggest problem I ran into when creating this analysis was accurately estimating solar irradiance at different altitudes. Here's the module I built for estimating that, in case you find it useful: https://github.com/gusgordon/airmass
