Yep, Prop 13 is flagrantly unfair, but the general mechanisms by which land value rises is intrinsic to our system of land tenure. However, these windfall gains can be recycled into public coffers via the tax system and lighten tax burdens

It should be noted that this is derived using extrapolations from chimps based on brain size. Nothing more.

I kept windows phone 10 up until this week. I actually like that it pushes me to use mobile sites instead of apps. Apps are closed ecosystems with app stores that charge a high markup. Sites are free and open. I can use Uber Lyft, and Faceb

This seems like such a losing battle. Payments on public transit could become anonymous, but the video feeds would still be recorded, and facial recognition could be easily performed. The cat is out of the bag. Information technology makes

The delays have little to do with technology, and a lot to do with regulations and bureaucracy. Largely put in place to combat money laundering, fraud, terrorist financing, etc etc. Yes, there's some small banks that have horrible APIs

It is interesting that even in an article like this that they still say things like "for all its potential, blockchain is still in its early days." It is sticking with the unfounded assumption that it will be a success in the futu

Fantastic. I've heard that to truly remove the awkwardness of VR, the refresh rates need to go as high as possible. 240hz would be better, and I've heard it argued that 1024hz is optimal. Also, with high enough resolutions, you do

Someone's gotta keep those London real estate values high. It's a win-win for UK landowning elites and foreign money launderers alike.

True, but it seems unlikely that there's a fundamental reason why unbuffered should have a higher manufacturing cost. It seems to just be an accident of history. Thus, maccam94's point still stands.

Felt the same way. The documentary Betting On Zero was eye-opening, and I was surprised that he stuck to this bet for so long. I suppose it isn't really a pyramid scheme in the sense of being unstable. It is perfectly stable at fleecin

When EVs advertize 100 mile range, that means in the best conditions. Heavy loads would reduce that. Cold weather itself can make your range worse, and additionally any kind of heating or AC will reduce range further. I recently purchased a

Labor is the active force, and land is the passive force. Production cannot happen without both. As for everyone being rentiers, I'm not sure I see the problem. Everyone being rentiers ensures a minimum standard of living, allowing us

Thank you. And if you compare the recommendations to supplement sales, it is probably much more aligned than the headline would suggest. Sales of vitamin D, B12, folic acid, etc would total in the billions of dollars, and thus make up a lar

Production just requires land and labor. Capital is output from previous production used as input again, and it is nice to have but not strictly necessary for employment of labor. Labor can be applied whenever labor has access to land. So t

This may help prod along the technology of artificial blood, since the use of real blood is one of the the most expensive and least ethical parts of this technology, which is still primitive. However, if they do solve that problem, the medi
