If you tax land the only thing you will end up with is higher rents. You are punishing the wrong people. Want to punish the right people? Cut taxes so that people can save cash faster, afford houses earlier and stop renting from their landl

No. If you want affordability, make the government efficient and tax people LESS . The government steals half of my money, half of my landlord's money, and I have to pay my landlord’s income and property tax in addition to my own inco

Random idea: What if we just sequestered it into elemental carbon pellets and let it sink to the bottom of the ocean? It should not react with the water.

I always thought of Docker as a "fuck it" solution. It's the epitomy of giving up. Instead of some department at a company releasing a libinference.so.3 and a libinference-3.0.0.x86_64.deb they ship some docker image that doe

Photography is also an art. When painters jack up saturations in their choices of paint colors people don't bat an eyelid. There's no good reason photographers cannot take that liberty as well, and tone mapping choices is in fact
