I also do that, but when I search for emacs for example I get like 2-3 different ones and they are named as the full path in the nix store. That sometimes goes away after some time with indexing, but sometimes it does not.
And another annoying issue is that sometimes even when theres only one, its called by the path, and Im not a wizard so I don’t know if that path is the latest, so I am still using outdated software because its not launching the newest version.

Did you have any of these issues?

The problem with that, from the perspective of the lawyers, is there's no way for them to get paid, as it stands now:

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. Only barely sci-fi, but shares the same lyrical precision as Ted Chiang. Somehow it's the first thing that came to mind.

I think ACT has no thresholds, whereas NSW for example you could own a $5m primary residence and rent it out and maybe 4 $1m appartments (whose land value will be low) and rent those out and pay no land tax. So you can be rich from property and pay no land tax.

It would kick in for larger landlords though but they could avoid it somewhat by having a property in every state.
UK and Australia.

The pros and cons are the same pros and cons you get with any system that has some form of centralised control.

The main one comes down to triage, if you need / want a procedure that isnt life threatening or helps your quality of life you can expect a long wait or not being able to get it. For example - any kind of cosmetic surgery isnt going to be done for free unless it affects your quality of life (e.g. Rhinoplasty for deviated septum)

If your situation is an emergency you get seen pretty quickly - otherwise it can take a while - as an example my mother needed a knee replacement - it took almost a year from when the doctor recognised the need for her to actually have it done. But it got done and didnt cost a penny.

She could have gone private, had it done the following week and paid 5-6 figures for it - it just wasnt that urgent and she couldnt afford it.

I have played rough sports and been hospitalised from it and I was treated immediately (emergency) - again this was free.

I think this concept is lost on people - not everything medical needs to done immediately and its sometimes fine to wait (even if its not preferred).

Coming from a field where [n] routinely means {1,2,...,n}, I don't feel like the [1], [2], [3] system can win me over. But I'm ready to see some advantages it has.
Paying for something was hard when the internet got started, so things were free and paid for by the website's owner.
Ads were a way to offset the cost a bit.
People got used to everything on the internet being free, also when paying got a lot simpler.
The ads stuck as well though, as paying for a website is still not zero friction.
University app accounts are weird
It is hard to convert aspects of real-life into software.

Self-driving cars are a good example of this. The cars convert real-life objects (e.g., pedestrians, falling snow, street signs) into sensor data, but the conversion process isn’t perfect. After conversion is complete, it actually ends up being kind of hard for the car to distinguish people from snowflakes from a stop sign. The cars end up being prone to silly errors like braking hard because they think snowflakes are people (or worse, not braking for the opposite reason).

I came across a low-stakes example of this recently: university app accounts. Their lists of apps look really fucking weird.

A lot of universities release apps. For example, let’s consider MIT. Its official app account has released many apps on the Apple App Store. Below is an incomplete list:

- MIT Mobile: This is the flagship app that tells students information like the bus schedule or dining hours.
- MIT Voice App: This is an app that asks users to say certain words (e.g., “target”) and records them. I think this is for some sort of research project, but the description doesn't make it clear.
- NICS Mobile: This one has no MIT branding at all, and seems to be some sort of an emergency response tool. I can’t tell if this is a prototype or if it is actually used by firefighters and such.
- Private Kit: Another app without any MIT branding. This one lets you track your location history while maintaining privacy. The description is really vague about why anyone would ever want to do this, but from the reviews, it seems that this was meant to aid Covid contact tracing.
- Tablet.2008x: This is an augmented reality app that walks you through the steps for disassembling a tablet.
- SCL Go: Another augmented reality app that helps people travel using something called “Sidewalk AI.”
- MIT Ori 2021 and MIT CPW 2024: Two apps with orientation activity schedules. I’m dying to know why an app was not used in other years.
- OctoStudio: A really snazzy-looking app to teach kids to code.

On the App Store, all these apps are listed under MIT’s account chronologically, which is a really bizarre way to present them.

In real life, if I go to a college campus, I know I’m entering a small town with thousands of residents and tens of buildings. Real life makes it easy to grok that building A is a residential building where bulletin boards will have lots of flyers for upcoming social events, and building B is full of labs, where each bulletin board will have instructions for research study participants. The two buildings will look and feel very different.

The app account answers the question, what if there was a single bulletin board for the entire university? That bulletin board would have flyers for a dizzying array of activities. It would have some social activities for the students, some instructions for lab guinea pigs, and some thesis papers written by postdocs. The app account loses the detail that different parts of the university do different things, and simply presents all the apps under the “MIT” banner. It is weird and unintentionally hilarious.

I'm more concerned with whether it may start spreading beyond the ocean and causing pandemic-scale damage, although fortunately it seems slow. There is already dystopian sci-fi about similar themes.
I think the issue actually goes beyond notebooks. It's just that notebooks are the method du jour for creating hacked-together code. But regardless of the tool chosen, hacked-together code does eventually leak into production. Mine has.

It's harder to breach that barrier in embedded, because someone has to approve of getting the hardware made.

In most organizations, there's a kind of no mans land between hacked code, and professionally written software. That's because the real SWE's are always overbooked, and for good reasons -- business and career wise -- should be working on the biggest projects. This leaves software needs that are urgent for somebody but not urgent enough to rise to the top of the priority list for the software team. The somebody could be an internal or external customer.
"Scrollback and copy-paste will work exactly as they do in your native terminal, while they can behave differently when using tmux."

I use tmux for session management, including but not limited to windowing, on each single host. I generally work _outside_ tmux, using send-keys to interact with each window. I have daemons running in their own windows.

There is no graphics layer, no window manager and no terminal emulator. I stay in textmode.

I make heavy use of tmux features like send-keys and buffers.
I use buffers, namely load-buffer, paste-buffer and save-buffer, as "copy-paste".

I do not use a mouse. I "select text" using UNIX utilities, not cursor movement.

The tmux scrollback buffer is not an issue because I work outside of tmux. For daemons running in tmux windows, I use multilog and tai64nlocal for logging.

The copy-paste issue is a non-issue because the "native terminal" for me is textmode and textmode, unlike a terminal emulator, has no copy-paste.

This tmux setup is lighter weight than running 1. a graphics layer, 2. a window manager, 3. a terminal emulator and 4. shpool.

To answer your last question: it depends!

Cranking up property tax or land tax still sucks. Sure, maybe you can buy land now, but what if you want to live on it? Your house doesn't earn you income (i.e. what you build on your land is not "productive"), so you're stuck paying taxes on something that doesn't give you any fiscal value.

In practice, this doesn't help housing crises very much, but it _does_ increase wealth disparity! People who could previously afford a home now have to sell their property and either rent from somewhere, or buy a cheaper, presumably worse property.

The increased property taxes also get passed from landlord to renter, up to what the market will bear. This is also bad, because it significantly increases the cost of living.

Overall, there's no direct relationship between more expensive/less expensive housing and whether land/property is taxed. It's usually a challenge of efficient zoning etc.

Now, one alternative that I'm interested in would be an "surplus land tax", i.e., if you own a property for the purposes of living on it, there is minimal or no taxation. Then if you buy more property for some reason, the tax is significantly higher (why do you, as an individual, need more land?). This discourages people from owning a surplus of land, while (hopefully) avoiding the increase in wealth disparity. If you want land for the purpose of a business, the revenue from the business should ideally cover any applicable land taxes.
What is so special about humans? I, for one, welcome our plastic eating overlords.
In my experience, "fair" is almost irrelevant within a capitalist business.

Good capitalist businesses buy at the cheapest price they can, and they owners focus on balancing competing resources (control, dividends, ownership, status, information, etcetera...). However: people run businesses and people are not rational economic actors.

A good question is: what amount of equity can you negotiate? What do you have that will convince owners to share their ownership with you?

If you are negotiating with VC, then I think the game board and the rules of the game are already rigged against founders and employees. VC sets the rules and the mileau to play the long game, and employees are lucky to get a few leftovers.

You can be a founder or join a self-funded startup, that will give you a better chance of "fair" treatment, especially if you have the skills to join people that have high integrity.

In theory if you can marginally add 10% to the business value you should be able to argue to get some amount of that. However measuring an individuals effect on a business is usually really difficult (even consultants or businesses that specialise in increasing value usually only capture a tiny percentage of the value they add).

Also different people bring different resources to a business, and anyone with a monopoly on a resource can negotiate for more shareholding. There are idealistic economic theories for how people should bid in multi-party negotiations. Note that even though multiple people may each increase the value of a business by more than 50%, that doesn't mean each should get 50% of the shares (and obviously can't if more than two want >50%).

Generally if you need to ask for shares then you have already lost the game. Either found a business and put yourself in charge, or have something the owners want and demand ownership.

Disclosure: made small amounts of money as part of a self-funded startup joining high integrity co-founders. I've had little experience of VC funded companies or employee shares. Our SaaS business was doing something we'd done before and it was started decades ago when things were "easier".
Space weather forecasting needs an upgrade to protect future Artemis astronauts
> There are a few real-world cities in the US which tried a single land tax. Here's how that worked out.

It sounds like it kinda sorta worked but not if you have external interference (other governments still levying other taxes, especially property tax on buildings), and not if you implement it poorly enough that people vote you out.

The "problem" I see with it is that governments don't want it to work, because governments are always trying to maximize tax revenue.

Suppose you have an area zoned so you can't build more than 1-story buildings, but to meet local demand you'd need an average of 1.2-story buildings. Institute LVT without changing the zoning and you're still screwed, because a financial incentive to build more housing does nothing when actually building it is still prohibited by law.

Suppose you institute the LVT and get rid of the building height restrictions. Now people are going to build a bunch of 5 and 10-story buildings and quickly solve the housing shortage -- great. It actually works. Now the area needs an average building height of 1.2 stories and the average becomes 2.5 stories. Nobody even wants the 1-story buildings because you have to pay 5 times as much LVT per square foot as the 5-story buildings. Local land is no longer scarce because it's being used so much more efficiently.

So its value goes down, and with it the tax revenue -- the sole source of tax revenue. Then the government has a few options. Option 1, raise the mil rate. But that doesn't work; if you do that people just build 50-story buildings to minimize the tax and the rest of the land becomes abandoned because no one without a 50-story building could afford the tax on it. Option 2, reintroduce artificial scarcity, e.g. ban tall buildings so land becomes artificially scarce again. But now you're back to inefficient land use and thwarting the ostensible benefit of the tax.

Or Option 3, fund the government some other way. Which removes the government's perverse incentive to create artificial scarcity of land to maximize their tax revenue. But then why not just start there? Get rid of the existing perverse incentive (property tax), and the zoning regulations, let housing become affordable as people build until rents fall to construction costs, and fund the government some other way.
It's not hyperbolic, I genuinely believe (and there is plenty of evidence suggesting it as well) that Apple is building a massive ad empire.

BTW, related to all their "encrypted" cloud, if the CCP having the decryption key is not enough to convince you of the BS, they also clearly showed their hand a couple years back when they wanted to introduce local on-device scanning of customers' pictures and comparing against an opaque database of hashes produced by nameless government-connected entities, including uploading the unencrypted pictures for review by humans who'd later send them to authorities. It took massive uproar to change that direction (but not before the same Craig guy who's now talking about the "private cloud" took his time to educate us "screeching minority" about how we misunderstood the thing - e.g. "you're holding it wrong").

So yes, they have amazing PR, but they're just as bad (if not worse) than the likes of Microsoft and Google.

But your problem's this land bubble and then unfortunately unrealized losses and how does that happen
I'd argue that permissions aren't really enforced by binder, just binder is used to talk to the endpoints that enforce permissions. Binder has no interaction with SELinux outside the policy requirements to allow apps to open it's device nodes - there's no interaction in the kernel code at all [0]. It's just an opaque data blob IPC mechanism, not tagging payloads with capabilities or similar in-kernel.

At the point that binder was created, there wasn't a good kernel-level IPC system integrated into linux, true, but I'm not sure I agree with the idea that it's in any way tied into the capabilities/permissions system outside from being a communication channel to the userspace daemons things that do.

And native code does have access to every service on the device - just as any app. It's just more painful than the Java layer, and some things aren't guaranteed to be stable over API versions. Less useful for apps, but still not part of the security model. At an extreme level, the java code is run in the same memory address space as any native code, there's no protection from that. Hell, some apps even used to patch dalvik/ART live. It was insane and fragile, but entirely possible.

And the "disallowed" syscalls are those not exposed by libc though some more are restricted for user apps (mostly around UID management, which is the big "major" deviation from standard unix, and system stuff like loading kernel modules or rebooting...) [1] So maybe it doesn't allow some linux extensions, or could remove the "old" versions of replaced syscalls (when arguments were found not to be large enough, flags arguments added etc.). But there's not really anything missing from there as used in 99% of unix userspace programs anyway.

So I maintain it's still a system build on top of a unix kernel and libc with a few additions on the side, and all that is still accessible to apps. Perhaps you think I'm including all the stuff people associate with modern "Desktop Linux"? Like X11 and/or wayland? Or the entire FHS? That's the main thing Android has completely divorced from, but that also isn't "Unix", or even really from the 80s even if it has some ancestors there.
