lol, ok. That's not really an EDR product, and it's open source (which generally produces poor quality security tools, see ClamAV as a long-running joke). I can't think of a commercial Linux EDR product that doesn't moni

In my experience, companies that are focused on being a well-run company rather than a politically/personality/emotionally driven shitshow also are the ones that have long-term perspective and avoid making kneejerk reactions to al

Yep. Every few months, someone learns about this, thinks they've made a new discovery, and writes a breathless blog post imagining the possibilities of what can be done with it. Spoiler alert, you almost certainly have been completely

That's how it works in the US also, though personal property and real estate taxes are collected at the state and local level (if they exist, which is dependent on the state and local government). For most people in the US, filing thei

And by a very objective metric, which is disposable income for the median household, the US is #1. Sorry if I don't take numbeo.com all that seriously. If you do, you should poll people to see if they'd rather live in Oman or the

This sounds very similar to the commercial real estate market. What do they have in common? High amounts of leverage, and holding periods of 5-7 years for assets. They're trying to sell assets bought with cheap money and a lower accept

Take a look at how the median American lives compared to the median resident of nearly every country on earth. If that's suffering, I'm not sure what to call life elsewhere. And to this specific comment, wages outpaced inflation s

Most Americans spend about 0 seconds of their lives thinking about land valuation methods, unless you count complaining about how their property taxes are too high (which is a global phenomenon in my experience). And every municipality in t

Right. This is one of the many flaws in the LVT. Someone now has to make a subjective decision about the theoretical highest and best use of the land at a given point in time, and the last people I want making that decision are local bureau

That's because, like most progressives, the author sees land use planning and policy as a tool for social justice because they see everything as a tool for social justice. I would argue (not with you, as I think you and I agree) that m

LVT advocates just don't get it. The author lists out 4 testable statements that a property tax should meet (which are valid IMO), yet doesn't recognize that an LVT fails to meet them! There is an inherent relationship between wha

Right. It seems like they're concerned about rv taking off and becoming that alternative, and it's hard to imagine anything else they could have done to make that more likely to occur.

Posting a video from a highly biased source is not very convincing. Almost every household with a child is tax revenue negative, and I don't think you're suggesting we reform education funding to correct that.

If you legitimately would have no issues being surrounded by a landfill, you're such an outlier that your opinion is basically meaningless.

Exactly. Most people don't buy a home with the hope that the surroundings will change drastically. And of course is there is a change for the better, the same people who complain about about NIMBYs will complain about gentrification.

Let me know your address so I can buy the adjacent properties and force you to live next to a landfill or move away from your now-worthless home.
