A similar area I see is a bunch of businesses in the dubious "letter of medical necessity"-mills.

That is, for FSA reimbursement, there are a slew of "dual purpose" treatments that can only be reimbursed if you get a letter of medical necessity. E.g. want to just get a massage to feel better? That's not covered. But a doctor says you need it to treat a specific condition? Oh, then it's covered.

So basically now there is a cottage industry of companies writing these letters for anyone who asks. But honestly, I just blame the IRS, who created this stupid insanity in the first place. They should just have blanket rules (e.g. all massages in or out), instead of this loophole that is destined to be exploited. Plus, I agree with the critics who say it's just proof that our sick-care system profits on making you sick and then profits on selling the cure. Want to spend money for a healthy diet or an exercise program? That's not covered. But want to spend money on a host of prescription drugs to counter metabolic syndrome? That's covered.

So yeah, a New Yorker that seems to think the whole US is their experiences in NYC.
Thanks for clarifying that.

Chili's is one restaurant chain I used as an example. Places from the scale of Chili's and McDonald's to mom and pop restaurants near me have such things. It's not just Chili's, but it's easy to find a news article talking about it around that time compared to finding an Atlantic article talking about a hole in the wall Italian restaurant in North Texas that offers mobile table side ordering.

Once again, maybe your experiences aren't representative of the entire United States, so saying things like table side ordering is "unheard of in the US" or suggesting nowhere in the US can you do mobile based transit tickets. FFS I was in NEW YORK recently and used NFC-based mobile transit tickets!

> I think it's a pretty important data point.

McDonalds is the most widely known and biggest US restaurants. I think it's a relevant data point. I guess all food in the US is like McDonalds. Hey what do you know they have table side mobile ordering. I guess all food in the US is like that, all restaurants have mobile ordering. Anything outside of that is just unheard of.

Unearned rents is questionable. People have always understood the value of land and have worked hard to be able to purchase it and vote + participate in local government to help protect the value of that land. Especially in the US, that mostly worked quite well. We still have huge amounts of extremely cheap land that could be made desirable with enough hard work. You can still buy a crazy amount of land in parts of the country for like $50k.

Done right, an LVT can actually increase land value. Suppose you are a developer that owns a plot of land in a desirable area but there are some abandoned building nearby that a stingy owner refuses to sell. With a regular property tax, if you make significant improvements like add park space, nice trees, landscaping, etc. to your building you pay much more property tax while the stingy owner pays nothing but benefits from increased property value. LVT at least partially penalizes the freeloaders. They must pay more LVT if the area around them improves. It prices an unpriced externality which is generally a good thing.

There might be one thing the rich dislike more than taxes: freeloaders
Interesting, I’m trying to apply this to domains and it seems a decent fit or at least a lot of overlap.

Domains are sort of the digital land for the internet, and the websites hosted on them are the value add.

Domains are practically infinite, though like some of the land examples some domains are far more desirable than others. Individually domains can be divided into practically infinite subdomains and/or subpages.

The ~1500 TLDs all have their own rules and fees (taxes). They fall under a central governing authority, ICANN pursuant to ToS/EULA/rules/policies, as well as intellectual property laws which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and may also fall under one or more international treaties. Nevertheless, speculation proliferated and domaining is an entire industry driving prices up, but in practice I don’t think prohibits “new players.”

There is enough difference between land/virtual worlds and domains, I don’t think a LVT or harberger tax would be well suited for domains, but it’s interesting to think about.

I always hoped that somehow the Internet would find its way back to personal websites in lieu of the social media sandboxes that dominate, or at least adopt the Bluesky approach where users can bring their own username/handle/identity via a custom domain.
It's not that we as a society devalue childcare. We just don't live in an economy where it is safe for families to put all their eggs in one basket like that.

In post-WWII US, it was generally easy for fathers to find stable, lifelong careers with a low risk of layoffs and a low risk of an untimely death, which allowed families to thrive on single incomes. But that was an outlier, not the norm.

In most places and in most periods of history, mothers have had to work (sewing, gardening, spinning, knitting, brewing, laundering, midwifery, etc., etc.) because fathers have not had widespread access steady, well-paying, low-risk work. Unless she was independently wealthy, a mother who did not bring in income was playing a very risky game with her children's lives.

The biggest difference is that, today, most work must be done outside the home, which is very difficult for mothers. Childcare helps close the gender pay gap and is necessary for a fairer, less sexist society — at least until/unless our economy returns to primarily home-based work.

fair enough! and i didn't twig until the end
The easiest answer to this is a very slow phase in. LVT doesn't need to be 100%. You can start it at 1% and have it set to increase slowly over time. This means that, for currenty owners, it will come into effect so slowly that it doesn't matter. You can even phase it in so slowly that on the timelines that they might want to sell it, it doesn't matter too much. And, at every point along that phase in, you get incremental improvements.

The whole Alex Jones saga, more than anything else, makes it impossible for me to find any common ground with "the other side". For the life of me I can't understand how this became a political issue in the first place. And I'm not even talking about gun control - I'm talking about the horrific demonization (for profit) of a group of people whose only "crime" was that their six and seven year old kids were brutally slaughtered. I just can't fathom how anyone with a ounce of humanity can defend Alex Jones.

> We still have huge amounts of extremely cheap land that could be made desirable with enough hard work. You can still buy a crazy amount of land in parts of the country for like $50k.

Land is made desirable mostly from what productive use it has. ie: being near jobs. There's not really any hard work any one individual can do to make some random plot of land in Kansas more valuable than its current market price.

> participate in local government to help protect the value of that land.

Recently, since coming across FastAI and nbdev[0], I've been moving increasingly to a more notebook-centric flow. So far it's been better particularly for the exploration aspect where I've primarily used ptpython in the past (and this isn't anywhere ML-related). I think the idea behind nbdev is pretty neat, but it pushes some practices that I'm not a fan of at all. I want to get to the point where I have a mostly complete IDE experience in the notebook so I don't have to keep switching back and forth. I have a ways to go.

cool read but this article misses pretty much the biggest factor in the whole history and is that no matter how much you think about this "problem", it will always be defeated by the players will to win or take advantage

lets remember after all, games and virtuals worlds, are that, games and virtuals worlds, so players have pretty much nothing to lose in trying to exploit whatever system you put in place

so if you are a gamemaster/game dev/etc, noone cares how much time or resources you invest in thinking how to solve the land crisis or housing crisis, you wont solve it and at the end if you put the most complex system or the most punisheable on you will most likely end up with your player base actually quitting or not interested in playing your game or following your rules.

so its actually just about to just accepting that there will be a land crisis or housing crisis and that you will just have to look the other way and let it be, cause at the end you might just end up killing your own game by going with the full try hard way.

theres actually silly solutions that have been proven to be good, like for example, adding new areas with the updates thus rendering the old areas useless and having people repeat the cycle of trying to be the new ones in those areas

or the favourite of all the game publishers, just tax with ingame credits that can only be purchased with $$$, so everyone is happy haha

btw, most of games end up failing trying to solve this land crisis or housing crisis cause while the focus so much on that, they have bigger problems that affect direct on it like currency inflation, RMT, gold farming and even more deep problems like cheating/botting

You could make the same theoretical argument against most taxes though. If it were possible to unwind corporate taxes through raw political connections it'd have happened by now for example. Or capital gains tax in its entirety.

That is actually a great theoretical argument against taxes generally by the way - there'd be a lot more money in people's pockets if they didn't have to get bureaucrats to agree on what they should be working to support.

Framing it as “the other side” is part of the problem.

There are extremes on both sides, and Alex Jones, and the small faction of his followers who harassed the Sandy Hook parents, are about as extreme as it gets.
What is so special is that we are them. Until we are no longer humans, we should look out for our own. Unless you have somehow overcome self-preservation and suffering. I haven't.

total_plastic = 8.3e9 # total plastic in tons
degradation_rate = 0.05 # degradation rate per day in percentage

# Calculation of daily degradation in tons
daily_degradation = total_plastic * degradation_rate / 100

# Estimation of time taken to degrade all plastic in days
total_days = total_plastic / daily_degradation

# Conversion of total days to years
total_years = total_days / 365

# Print the result
print(f"It would take approximately {total_years:.2f} years to degrade all the plastic.")

```

It would take approximately 5.48 years to degrade all the plastic.

> Isn't this a standard on REPLs as well? You can select the code you wish to run, and press Ctrl+Enter or what ever.

Not usually, no. Type `python` at the command prompt - what you get is a REPL. Type `clisp` at the command prompt, or `wish`, or `psql`, or `perl` or even `bash` - those are al REPLs.

Very different to a program that presents an editor, and then lets the user selectively choose which lines/expressions in that editor to run next. For example, type `emacs somefile.sql` in the command prompt. The application that opens is most definitely not a READ-EVAL-PRINT-LOOP.
