Maybe. But maybe California's government has given more reason than other governments to think that they would treat this as an additional form of income, rather than a replacement.

From the article:

> At one time, there were many affordable places where a single person like Hasegawa could live in New York City. Many hotels offered accommodations consisting of a single bed in a cubicle, or a private room with a shared kitchen and bathroom.

> In the mid-20th century there were close to 200,000 units designated as SROs — single room occupancy. But by the 1970s, they had gained a reputation as hotbeds for criminal activity and the city began to shut them down.

So it was common at that time for hotels to offer long-term apartment rentals, but no longer.

Relatedly, University of Chicago has a popular survey where they ask Economists their views on policy proposals (along with their confidence in their answers), and their most recent survey was on LVT:

The question:
> Shifting the burden of municipal property taxes towards land and away from improvements such as buildings - as proposed in the Detroit land value tax plan - will enhance the incentives for owners to develop their land and thereby give a substantial boost to local economic growth over a ten-year horizon.

And responses:
7% Strongly Agree, 46% Agreed, 17% Uncertain, 2% Disagree,2% No opinion, 24% Did Not Answer

LLMs are supposed to derive a huge amount of those rules from their training sets. That's the one thing they are good at. They should be pretty good at differentiating the reflexive from the non-reflexive usage of "is" from the context pretty fine.

The fact that the current ones don't is surprising.
Samsung is light years ahead of everyone else in the Android phone space, and the only manufacturer that can compete with iPhone. It's crazy that it's true, given the opportunity for Google themselves to try to compete, but they don't for whatever reason.
Well, Microsoft ditched Electron for their new version of Teams.

Rust can be great for GUI programming, when it works. Suggesting it as an alternative to Swift for a Mac-only app is so profoundly stupid that I have to assume it's astroturfing. You're not going to get anything out of GUI programming with Rust that you wouldn't have gotten, for 'free', with Swift.

It's like claiming that people are getting mad because video games aren't being written in Rust. Nobody in that market cares; they want an end product and will tell you to leave them alone if you start whining about Electron or other things they consider inconsequential.

You know, with my mom being a single mom, I think there is something of an interdependency between her and her youngest child (my sister). Possibly even a codependency. That is to say: there is no real power struggle between them. They accept their roles as mother and daughter pretty well. They share their space effectively because they both accept their roles. If my sister were to exert more of a commanding influence on the household, there could be conflict, but so far this has not been the case.

Yup, that's about right for enforcing the current system of copyright, at the current level of enforcement, but with better than piss poor accuracy.

Frankly, we're over-enforcing copyrights, which is why this looks ridiculous. It doesn't make economic sense to try a sane system for most of these complaints because we'd be spending thousands of dollars on court costs to take down a webpage that gets 10 views per day.

There should be a nominal fee to file a DMCA complaint just to prevent wasting everyone's time with enforcement actions against pages that no one cares about. Call it $10 or maybe $50. If the site is causing damages to you, the $10 is worth it, but if they aren't causing the $10 of damage to make it worth filing then nobody else should have to deal with that paperwork either.
I’m genuinely curious—what makes for an “interesting line with a particular hand?” Do you have any examples?

Presumably farmland would be worth much less, and be thus taxed much less, than land in San Francisco, NYC, etc where Google's offices would typically lie.
But it'd still be taxed.

Many more from what I read... There's plenty of choice in the Android market, even if Samsung makes it feel like they are Android.

I might buy a Samsung phone myself, but it would have to be a considerable discount. They tend to be overpriced, and as OP noted they load the phone down with laggy bloatware, so I either have to install a custom ROM (and possibly break some security checks apps require) or purge apps through adb as a half measure.

I think the number of items that any given office worker in today's environment has to juggle far, far exceeds working memory, never mind that using working memory to maintain a running list of tasks precludes or at least contends with using it to actually think about the individual task at hand.

I haven't used the Getting Things Done method explicitly, but at a glance it looks like a more formalized version of what most of the people I know who are well-organized and have good time management skills seem to gravitate to naturally.

I don't think I know a single person who I'd consider "very on top of things" who doesn't have some mechanism, formal or informal, of noting/organizing/prioritizing thoughts and tasks. The idea that they are in fact coping with something and "regular" people just keep everything in their heads doesn't make any sense to me.
I'm not sure that matters. If you're holding your land to cash out on it in the future, it's going to get developed regardless. Whether the land remains undeveloped for an extra few decades seems like it makes little difference either way. Plus, not every property will be paved over edge to edge. Suboptimal locations will probably get developed into something which doesn't turn the land into something that completely destroys its ecological value.
Does seem good. I laid it on top of some typing sounds, and it's a bit elevator muzak but that might be why it works.
It's taxed now as well (in almost all jurisdictions). It's just also taxed on any buildings that sit on top of it (that latter portion of which provides a disincentive to development).
You still need cognitive behavioral therapy. Stimulants are a blunt instrument.
I still am confused as to whether or not Google would be happier if these types of payments were banned for everyone.

It seems like the only reason Google paid 8B, is because another company would have paid 7B otherwise. If Samsung was told "You can't let anyone pay you - have to show a screen with four competitors and let the user pick which one they want as default" I assume the vast majority of people would just pick Google?

Capitalist societies across the world are in complete demographic collapse because young people can’t afford homes to raise families, and yet progressive land taxation remains an unpopular idea.

Absurd.
Any cause or idea can be appropriated by people you don't like. Doesn't make the idea bad.
Sure, the LVT is not designed to be a wealth tax, but rather a tax on the unimproved value of land. Its primary purpose is to encourage efficient use of land and discourage speculative land holding, which can lead to artificial scarcity and inflated property prices.

If the wealthy do decide to hold their wealth in other forms, this could potentially free up land for more productive uses or for those who might not have had access to land ownership before. This could lead to a more equitable distribution of land, which is a form of wealth in itself.

The argument that the wealthy will simply shift their wealth to other less-taxed or non-taxed forms is not necessarily a critique of the LVT, but rather a critique of the overall tax system. If other forms of wealth are undertaxed, the solution would be to reform these areas of the tax system, rather than reject the LVT.

In the late 90s I worked for a small network solutions company. Cable infrastructure, lan, wan, email/file/printer servers. Most of our work was campus sized networks. Military bases, hospitals, corporate campuses, etc. We did all our drawings in Visio which hadn't yet been purchased by Microsoft. Visio added VBA support around 97 or 98. As soon as they did myself and the other network engineer on staff, we didn't have any developers, wrote a similar system in our "spare time" to extract a bill of materials and generate a cost estimate. Included everything down to the number of rack screws.

I ended up leaving about 3 months after it was done but they continued to use it for a few years until it was replaced by a COTS system.
It is indeed comparable given that people here are talking about replacing Google with ChatGPT as a so-called 'search engine'. Even in that case, ChatGPT search queries are far more expensive than a Google search and requires more hardware to scale regardless.

Google's scale of usage is 8.5 billion searches per day. For OpenAI, the costs for that scale will just skyrocket and OpenAI cannot handle that which explains why they are already pausing new sign ups even when they have a login wall.

So it would be even worse for OpenAI had they opened ChatGPT up without a login just like Google doesn't require a login just like most search engines.

> Countless users and companies insist on sticking to ancient, niche or legacy platforms and there is nothing we can do about that.

Most people, even proprietary closed source developers, write software where one of the first sentences in its license is something like "This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE."

That is inexpensive.

Some people, myself included, develop software where the fitness for purpose is guaranteed and warranties are explicit and absolute.

That is very expensive. And slow.

It makes sense to stick with ancient and niche platforms that have been pored over for 30-40 years by very slow and deliberate developers when someone may die, the environment may be ruined, or millions of dollars in damage may occur if something breaks.

At least that's what I tell myself when staring at Ada on INTEGRITY on PowerPC.

It's interesting, that Google keeps publishing AI research papers. Is there a business rationale behind it?

OpenAI has become one of the fastest growing companies of all time. And much of it is based on Google's "Attention is all you need" and other papers.

Since Microsoft added the Dall-E 3 image creator to Bing, Bing saw a huge inflow of new users. Dall-E is also a technology rooted in Google papers.

I wonder how Google thinks about this internally.

Nope. They're constantly updating these models with really finnicky things like cloud nucleation rates that differ depending on which tree species's pollen is in the air. They've gotten a lot better (~2 day to ~7 day hi-res forecasts) but they're still wrong a lot of the time. The reason is the chaos as you say, however, chaos is deterministic, so, that a deterministic method can approximate a deterministic system is really not the surprising part.

You don't get what's going on here because your baseline understanding is a lot worse than you think it is.

What they're doing is skipping literal numerical simulation in favor of graph- (attention-) based approaches. Typical weather models simulate pretty fine resolution and return hourly forecasts. Google's new approach is learning an approximate Markov model at 6 hours resolution directly so they don't need to run on massive supercomputers.
That is false. A Prius is a HEV and can't be charged and mine uses 40% less fuel than a similarly sized gas vehicle. Additionally, a PHEV typically gets at least 30% better fuel economy than a gas vehicle.
That's around 10W with a dipole. With some modes (even FT8, not just stuff like WSPR), that's enough to reach around the globe.

What could be more modern than that?
Has someone written up a comparison of LVT vs Rolling Leases (i.e. perpetual land ownership is replaced by 30-40 year leases)? Rolling leases just seem to have more good flexibility and less bad flexibility.

By "good flexibility" I mean options to convert from perpetual ownership without screwing current owners -- our perpetual ownership model involves extremely favorable tax treatment at certain stages (capital gains forgiveness, like kind exchanges, cost basis step up) and you could make these benefits contingent on a conversion to a 99 year lease or something. I believe there is data that shows people have a stated preference for perpetual over 99 year, but they have a revealed preference that is neutral between the two, and this is how you could achieve the conversion without seizing land.

By "bad flexibility" I mean that LVT calculations seem easier to sabotage to blatantly favor the upper crust. If they can do it for income / capital gains tax, they can do it for LVT. Rolling leases, however, have a pretty transparent periodic price finding mechanism. Nothing is perfect, the treatment of improvements at renewal/auction time is a likely vector for skullduggery, but to my intuition it still seems better than LVT due to having more eyes and competing interests focused on the process.

Anyway, this is a "butterfly idea" where I haven't put enough thought into it to have a strongly informed opinion one way or the other and I want to know if someone knows of scholarly work on the subject.
US still has a pretty robust First Amendment. Laws violating it consistently get struck down in court.
It's a good concern to bring up.

The market will help to a certain extent, because land in the countryside is not going to be assessed (and therefore taxed) nearly as highly as land in the city center. "Vacant lots" out in the countryside are great, but in the city they are a scourge.

That said, the government will need to step in to protect urban and semiurban greenspaces/greenways, because LVT would indeed encourage development of those. (Extreme example, Central Park would be assessed as worth billions of dollars and taxed many millions a year).

I think, ideally, local and state gov'ts would either buy or grant tax easements on urban green areas. If done right, LVT could then incentivize developers to either use the land for buildings, or turn it into a greenspace, avoiding the gross middle-ground of parking lots and other low-value and use.
A linked bookmark blog is essentially how many use Pinterest. Discoverability in part comes from shared lists because the related items on a given page are¹ based on what other things are included in lists containing the item currently being viewed.

Pinterest has a very strong visual bias, and often a selling-things bias with the stored links being to things you can buy, so there might be a niche for something like that with features geared around links more generally, or features specifically to help editorialising links to nows and other reading matter, though preferably without deliberately poisoning search results to over-favour the link storing site like Pinterest does.

A little known fact is that hotels constructed in New York City "before July 1, 1969 which cost less than $88 per week or $350 per month on May 31, 1968" are subject to a law that states that guests are entitled to become a permanent tenant by requesting a lease of six months or more, and hotels are generally barred from preventing such people from doing such that.

There's someone who has been trying to claim ownership through this mechanism of the New Yorker hotel across from Penn Station, with surprising amounts of success:

Yeah, not gonna happen. The republicans will cease this line of advocacy when it becomes apparent that it’s going to be a huge self-own…
NYC used to have a lot of Single Room Occupancy (SRO) residential hotels that functioned more like cheap apartments. Rent stabilization applies to buildings built before 1974 and kicks in for residents once they’ve been in a place for 6 months. Years ago the city changed the zoning laws to restrict SROs so there aren’t nearly as many as there were in the 80’s but a few have stuck around.
To be fair StumbleUpon seemingly also bled money until it shut down. Unclear if a subscription fee is the answer, but it's at least an answer.

Now that the UK is down to only submarines, the anti-nuclear people try to get rid of that. A couple of years ago, RT and Wilileaks trotted out this sailor that claimed that the British Trident fleet was unsafe and so they should retire it, and incidentally eliminate the British nuclear deterrent. This was right before a vote to authorize multiple years of funding for it.

Is there much of that in private hands? You can't develop land in a vacuum, you still have to do something profitable with it and transport the result to some market.

In the EU there are "set-aside" payments to encourage farmers to do this, and national parks and other restrictions to protect the more valuable habitats.
