So if the most valuable use is luxury apartments and stores that would be what everything needs to converge to? Feels like a tax always looking towards the most valuable use could actually be very regressive and push anything but the richest out of economically attractive cities. Maybe I am missing something?

The diagram envisions the kite also being connected to a battery, diesel generator, and solar PV installation.

The real question is not if the kite installation or renewable installation is 100% reliable, it's a question of how much does it cut your total diesel consumption. US military loves renewables because it reduces the amount of fuel they have to move.
One thought that we should not neglect to provoke is that we manufacture things “badly” by choice, in order to reduce cost, in order to make products accessible to more people. Sometimes that sucks and costs more in the long run, but sometimes it’s a rational choice not to overbuild something.

We absolutely could still make a fancy gauntlet that stood a good chance of lasting 700 years, but it would cost enough that only today’s wealthy knights would want to buy it.
Web components are great! HTMX is great! But there is no answer for WHAT ABOUT THE JAVASCRIPT. You can't build a web app without it, so...what about bundling? What about binding? What about state?

> [Younger profs] think they can teach every student. Very few (none?) of the older ones.

I buy that argument, but I would ask: if they can only teach some of the students, then are they teaching the right ones? Bess's example in the article suggests the answer is "no".

It is easy to "teach" only the students who don't need to be taught, and pat yourself on the back for your success. The students who sink are a mixture of people who are going to sink no matter what, and people who are only sinking because the teacher isn't giving them what they need. The students who swim are a mixture of people who have the right background to take advantage of what is being taught, and people who already know enough to not need to be taught (either by knowing the material already, or by being far enough along to pick it up along the way when working on the next step).

It sounds like professors today only care about swimmers, not sinkers. They would produce more value by ignoring some of the swimmers and paying attention to some of the sinkers. (Not saying this is possible within the current system, just that it would be better.) If your goal is to fill up a bucket, you will fail if either the bucket has a hole in it, or if it's already full.
Yeah, I was going to say, I think the number at IBM was $1800 per patent, per author back in 2000, which would be ~$3300 today. It wasn't "buy a boat" type of money but it was more than "nice meal", for sure.
Legally speaking, she was, since the divorce wasn't finalized.
That's pretty funny. At the risk of giving someone the idea to poison the well further, I think you could do a lot of this with AI these days.
When I worked at IBM, the pay was not great, and managers were extremely combative over raises and recognition.

IBM was actually a terrible job. Upper management consistently shits on the workers for “not being agile enough”, but the walls they put up for you to change anything are impossible to climb. It was constant finger pointing and generally bad morale. Do not recommend.
I don't disagree with you, but it actually seems like a great strategy to avoid internet arguments... My grandfather used to tell a story about how when he was a child he'd get beat up on the way home by the bullies on the corner (circa 1950).

He resolved it with a similar approach - run in headfirst, fists flying, clobber everybody before they knew what hit em, and bounce. Seems a good idea to quash the trolls before they even get started.
I wish the rust foundation could write articles like that, no corporate legal bullshit.
> Instead of having untracked cash flows not paying taxes

Blockchain payments are tracked, so are bank movements; that's not the problem. The problem with blockchain solutions (well, one of many) is that they're pseudonymous, so authorities have to work to demonstrate that account X is linked to person A. Compare with the regular banking system, where every account must have a real identity attached: from the government's perspective, banks are so much better, and they already work (through Visa/MasterCard/Amex). Governments have absolutely no incentive to accept or push an anonymous digital currency. None whatsoever. The more anonymous a currency is (and this one is a bit more anonymous than blockchains), the worse it looks from the perspective of the state.

Monopoly power isn't mutually exclusive with monetary inflation. The competitive landscape didn't significantly change in 2021 when inflation started to rise. That firms were able to increase their profits significantly during this period indicates an increase in aggregate demand, which suggests monetary inflation. Even if monopoly power was a factor, it wouldn't be able to be realized without the increase in demand.
It means your knowledge is likely quite dated.
A crime of passion does not normally include studying up on body removal, ways to hide further evidence and not owning up to the crime for years because you - wrongly - believe that you can't be convicted if the body can't be found. This was premeditated murder, not a crime of passion.

How to ruin existing suburban neighborhoods in one easy step!
Well, one system taxes land value and improvement and the other taxes only land value. In the first system, all improvements have a tax cost of x * value(improvement). In the second system, they have a tax cost of 0. There's three possible outcomes: this increases improvements, this keeps them the same, and this decreases improvements. It depends on whether you think moving one cost component from positive to zero puts us in the first, the second, or the third worlds there.

I just tried it out and ChatGPT helps if you want to understand this. It is quite patient and will provide instant responses.

Yes, I realized that shortly after reading the replies. Thanks for stating it explicitly. Once again, my brain's inability to parse english caused a multi-decade misunderstanding.

Realistically, the only metric that I can think of that makes sense here isn't proportional to |V| or |E| but to the betweenness connectivity of the graph and the average distance between nodes.
It's a different implementation of the same thing.
Even if that’s true, the rhetorics of this article are sensationalist and extremely outrage-bait-ish. Also, these numbers seem completely meaningless. If we’re being pedantic for a second:

- EVs have infinite MPG, because they don’t use any gallons of gas.

- The number that matters is CO2 emissions per mile travelled + CO2 emissions for new vehicle production.

- For EVs, both those numbers depend completely and entirely on the emissions of the grid and industrial processes (which to a large degree also depends on the emissions of the grid).

So yeah, very weird article discussing a slightly weird policy.
In my experience, remote takes already-inefficient and error-prone workplace communication cultures that manage to muddle by with in-office workers at "merely" a significant productivity cost, and makes it totally unworkable.

The obvious solution is to fix your very-noticeably fucked up communication culture, since that would also improve in-person work.

Having switched from C++ to C, I think C is a lot less weird than C++. But I also observed that C++ programmers usually do not "get" C (but think they do, because "it is just a subset") and often think some parts are weird simply because they are different.

In any case, if you need a clean subset of C++ (but nobody I have met really agreed about what this is) nobody is stopping you from defining one.
Someone buys a property:

+-------------+------------+-------------+-------------+
| Type | Land Value | Cover Value | Total Value |
+-------------+------------+-------------+-------------+
| Parking Lot | 100 | 0 | 100 |
| Dump | 100 | -20 | 80 |
| Skyscrapper | 100 | 100 | 200 |
+-------------+------------+-------------+-------------+

Land increases in price and buyer sells it:

+-------------+------------+-------------+-------------+
| Type | Land Value | Cover Value | Total Value |
+-------------+------------+-------------+-------------+
| Parking Lot | 150 | 0 | 150 |
| Dump | 150 | -20 | 130 |
| Skyscrapper | 150 | 100 | 250 |
+-------------+------------+-------------+-------------+

In all 3 cases there's a profit of 50, but dump payed the least taxes followed by parking lot and then skyscrapper. In places where land increases in value it incentives to hold the land while NOT developing it.
Philosophical question: if "fake it 'til you make it" allowed someone to emulate a human (I like your phrasing here) well enough that they, indeed, act like a human... isn't that good enough?

The biblical advice to "judge not, that ye be not judged" seems relevant here. It's pretty obvious to me that it refers to a person's heart, that is, their internal desires and motivations that no one but them can truly know. If that motivation leads to a person acting the way I'd like them to, and they claim it's for reasons I agree with, and I'm not on the parole board or one of their family members where I have a need to look deeper, then fine.
Then they can put that value proposition into legally binding, non-revokable terms. Until then, I see no reason to believe a person on the internet over a trillion dollar company executives and lawyers who actively avoid making any contractual obligations to support their marketing claims.
I think self-hosting could be viable for more people if two things would happen:

- ISP's need to give a permanent IP's and more upload bandwidth in "regular", low-cost internet plans or at least a "self-hoster" addition

- There needs to be a protocol standard to communicate with home routers for auto-configuring the network in a safe way to be able to access services and applications on certain devices outside of the local network. I don't think it currently is possible in a robust enough way

With those two things I can imagine dedicated appliances that are accessible enough for non-technical users. But the experience has to be as seamless as video game consoles in order to reach "the masses"
File a complaint with the FCC with a title along the lines of "Dishonest billing practices."

I had a similar issue with my cable internet provider, and got a call from their Executive Customer Team the next day after I submitted my complaint. It helped that I saved the chat logs (or rather their website saved them so I could later download them) where I was promised a lower rate than what was billed and submitted those with my complaint.
Boston and immediate environs is still pretty expensive but, at least historically, these sort of multi-unit houses tended to be in less expensive neighborhoods (many of which are now pretty expensive).
This is what's called a false dilemma, pitting two non-mutually exclusive options as an either or situation when they're actually not opposed to one another.

We should get to reap the benefits of improved fire and personal safety and build more housing.
I think there are two issues here: why aren't they allowed and why shouldn't they be allowed.

Some prisoners certainly shouldn't be allowed to access the internet. If you're in organized crime, being able to access the internet would give you an effective way of continuing your control from behind prison walls. Many prisoners might use the internet to continue attacks on people, albeit virtual. Does this apply to all prisoners? No. Should it apply to Hans Reiser? Maybe, I don't know enough to comment on that, his relationship with his kids, etc.

The US prison system is also often punitive beyond necessary which answers why they aren't allowed internet access in most circumstances. I think if you ask most Americans about prison, they'll say that people are raped and beaten in prison. Many Americans even seem to think those are appropriate accessory punishments to imprisonment. The news reported that Reiser was beaten in prison: https://web.archive.org/web/20090609172728/http://www.kcbs.c....

Should some prisoners be allowed more internet access? I'll leave that for others as my lunch is over.

QAnon is a creation of MSM, and doesn't even exist, hence it's really ridiculous.

Thank you for supporting my thesis that praise for "homogeneous" societies is nothing but a dog whistle for plain old racism. I hope my children won't have to suffer people like you IRL.

Edit: It is hilarious that people like you praise places like the country where I was born and the country where my wife was born, but when we marry and have mixed-race children then suddenly you label our family as a menace to society.

Which is the norm in Europe. One stair, one elevator.
Even large and long buildings are divided in "stairs": there is central concrete tower with the staircase and the elevator shaft and a number of flats around it. Repeat like a pack of AA batteries. No way to move between them except the basement with parking for the cars.

Courtney Dauwalter: Step inside the 'pain cave', where rules are remade
> Today, you pay very little tax on the empty land or parking lot because you’re taxed on that total value of the land and improvements. This discourages building stuff sometimes. With land value tax, you’d be taxed on what someone would pay you for that land with improvements similar to surrounding, so it’s advantageous to build something there instead of nothing, since you’re paying the same tax as the sky scraper next door.

If you're being taxed on hypothetical improvements and not just the value of the land, why is it called a Land Value Tax, rather than a Hypothetical Best Use Tax? People assume the name means what it says and get confused.
And more generally move zoning to a nuisance basis (as in Japan or Europe), euclidian exclusionary zoning is a root cause of suburbian sprawl and dead areas.

That means local shops can pop up, and city centers are able to progressively transition upwards at the edges (and plots can be upzoned) instead of having a sea of low-density housing suddenly becoming a bunch of skyscrapers.
>> I'm in the 90% who buys dirt cheap cars <5k

I know you're saying that as a turn of phrase, not meaning it literally but just because it's fun thing to speculate on...

Just how big is that market?

If there were 35m cars on the road in 2022 (according to UK gov) and there were 1.6million new cars sold in 2022 vs 7 million used car transactions in 2022 (according to SMMT https://www.smmt.co.uk/category/vehicle-data/used-car-sales-... )

I can't find details about the sources for those used transactions - is it only SMMT members so that would mean excluding all private sales?

You'd have to imagine there are plenty private sales for <5k cars. Or is it relying on change of owner data from DVLA? Maybe - on their data sales pages they talk about sourcing data from DVLA then enriching it.

Assuming for now that it doesn't include private sales, that dataset is already claiming that 20% of the 35m cars changed hands. How many more changed hands outside of that dataset? It's not that half my street changes their cars each year so there aren't that many private sales on top of this i think.

So my best guess is that 90% market is probably max 20% but more likely 5-10%?

1.6m was a severely down year but that's still a heck of a lot of new cars for a country with only 35m cars on the road!

Fun thing to explore.
You would scream if those homeless died in a fire or tornado because the building lacked protection.

The two staircase rule increases costs, but not by that much - any place that allows building housing doens't have a homeless problem. That isn't to say there are no homeless people - there are many - but they are homeless because of other issues (mental). In California the homeless often are otherwise normal people who cannot afford a place to live despite the ability to work a job. Where I live you can rent a new two bedroom apartment in walking distance of Burger King that pays enough to afford that apartment and leave enough leftover for food - it won't be a great life, but you can live on one income (and since most people live as a couple that second income can buy some nice things)
There was a so-so movie based on this one exit theme once. Forget where it was set.
Multiple reasons.

Most battery life is assuming low system load. Under high load, you can easily drain a battery in less than 8 hours.

When you are traveling, the battery life of your laptop becomes a limitation you have to deal with.

You may forget to charge your laptop.

For some trips, you can skip carrying a power brick and use a phone fast charger over night instead. Battery charge gets slower the closer it gets to full. If 60% will last 8 hours, you can easily get away with this.
> Besides, while you are innocent until proven guilty, this doesn't mean that you can't be arrested (i.e. detained for investigation) if you are a suspect.

I was with you till here. While I disagree with a bit prior, like you say, nuance. But this sentence is egregious. An arrest record is still particularly damming to one's life. Even if one is never convicted it can still greatly impact one's ability to get a job, credit, or other things. You may say that that is a different problem, and in part I will agree, but this aspect is likely easier to address and I do not think it is wrong to suggest we should have a high bar for detaining someone and placing them on record.

Two things I have seen most of the really good programmers I have known. One, they read a lot of code, they mostly spend time digging into open source codebases and quite a lot of time contributes to them as well, which goes to the second point. Two, getting your code reviewed by a lot more programmers, with more experience than you, you get a much better perspective on a lot of things.
Maybe, but there's a long tradition that suggests maybe it's necessary...
