I remember the CEO of Zoom last year or something saying that AI would go to meetings for you. If the AI is doing all the work, why do you have a job again?

I did say average. Land in the middle of nowhere Nebraska is already dirt cheap compared to land in downtown Manhattan and agriculture is a productive use of the land. A Land Value Tax ideally targets the unimproved value of land. Farming

It’s a radical idea but with there being 1.4 billion acres of private property in the United States, at an average of $10,000 per acre for a Land Value Tax would raise 14 Trillion. Divided between the States and Federal Government, that wou

An average of 10,000 dollars per acre, when multi-family houses and apartments fit several families, if not dozens or hundreds into a single acre, aka how high density and efficient land use in cities work, they would pay little if nothing

You would only be taxed based on your land use so yes. Labor and Capital would not be taxed only Land.

A Single Tax regime aka the Land Value Tax would make these articles a thing of the past. We could solve the deficit, pay down our debts and many people would pay less in taxes, if we eliminated all taxes and replaced them with a Land Value

I don’t understand the question. You are currently using one of the most heavily moderated sites on the internet complaining that another platform which allows individuals to create their own clients which to view content published on the p

If I want a feed of 100 people who post statuses/tweets, blogs, videos, and pictures who I am interested in and by using ActivityPub can use a single client to view all this activity, is that by your definition segregationist and a dea

Is there any kind of social media that doesn’t become a serfdom in your opinion? I mean Hacker News falls under that definition as well yet here you are consuming a curated feed.

I guess I just have a unicorn of an instance because I never see these issues. Yes there is a large list of servers defederated but many of them are at best 4chan tier content which I can easily find on 4chan no need for my mastodon feed to

Why is everyone required to federate with everyone on ActivityPub? What if I want to only see Wordpress, Peertube, and Pixelfed content but nothing from Mastodon or Lemmy? How is that problematic as an ActivityPub client? Or I only want Spa

I’m not disputing that passwords suck. It’s just that the experience with passkeys hasn’t matched the vision I’ve been sold when I first read about it. I am sure a more mainstream solution such as Google/Apple/Microsoft/1Pass

When passkeys first came out I was quite excited. Now trying to use them with KeepassXC/Keepassium the experience is terrible. First off, nearly two full years into this “standard” existing only around 1/5 to 1/4 of my accoun

If it is absolutely necessary to use an LLM for this site (it isn’t) my suggestion would be to narrow the scope. Taking Skyrim specifically, there is an established (albeit small) vocabulary, simple grammar for name construction, and severa

This doesn’t appear to generate Skyrim dragon names using the Dragon conlang Bethesda made for the game. It might be but double checking them against Thuum.org doesn’t appear to work even when breaking them into three parts. Interesting pro

In my experience it is a State wide problem. I95 seemed to be a speed minimum of 95 if you didn’t want to get run off the road by everyone else for going too slow. I-4 (Daytona to Tampa, through Orlando) had over 400 deaths caused by traf

With car usage on most roads free of charge at use and maintenance also footed largely by the Federal Government, it probably comes out cheaper long term to invest in rail. And every car off the toad makes driving more pleasant for everyone

The Election Integrity Foundation are the sponsors/organizers of the Voting Village at DEF CON. They probably know what they are talking about when it comes to hacking voting machines.

Always great to see a successful “Single Rack of Failure” project out in the wild. And I don’t mean this as a negative. By being able to contain and control all the business into a single rack, you can more easily set up redundancy than try

Can you explain the differences in the “data sovereignty” story that bluesky does better than Mastodon? I never see these discussions on bluesky or mastodon only here on Hacker News but it almost is never elaborated just that bluesky’s is b

Could you please provide a less incendiary source to break down the costs and potential processes involved in a mass deportation of illegal immigrants in the United States? Certainly it is important for everyone to have a productive discuss

by kemotep 2y ago
Well I hope the worst does not come to past and if you are deported it goes as amicably and procedural as you describe. I do not think dehumanizing people leads to peaceful and productive outcomes. The mass deportation plan does not address

Well that used to be how it worked for the most part over 100 years ago. People just showed up and were able to become citizens largely frictionlessly. We can compromise between how immigration works today and how it worked during the heyda
