Singapore did it by purchasing the land incrementally from private owners. It's not like they confiscated it with coercive authoritarian force.

The effect of income taxes is not simply to disincentivize work like one would imagine. Top talents who are able to afford the cost choose their tax residence due to income tax. Even in the US, it would influence people's career decisi

You don't really need it. The semiconductor industry relies on equipment and materials from the global supply chain, in particular, the suppliers from Europe, Japan and the US. It's a team game. If the democratic world stopped do

I've changed my default search engine to Bing for a while. Before I did that, I did compare the results with Google search and found that the clickbait websites that keep pissing me off are shown only by Google search. Those content fa

Hardware defects are often worked around by firmware. It can be things like adjusting current drive or lowering the clocks conditionally to mitigate EMI. It can even check the serial numbers of the hardware to determine what to do for the p

Land’s share in economies’ nonfinancial assets equals between 40% and 60%, and in the US currently equals over 50%. This constitutes a very large base for a non-distortionary tax. This column suggests that a 5-percentage point or larger inc

I assume that inflation (CPI) can be reflected by the increase of money supply only when people can't find a way to transfer the money to somewhere inflation-proof and can only spend it on consumer goods. That's absolutely not the

I thought maximizing ROE is rather 'old-school' nowadays. Most businesses I know tend to strive for growing market share and revenue. They are even willing to run the business in the red for that.

The point is there has to be someone to make the final decisions, be they talented or not. You could vote on everything, but I don't think that would be efficient or even make sense for all circumstances.

Exemption of principal residence isn't a bad thing for LVT. It still disincentivizes people from treating housing as a store of wealth, which is literally the root of all evils about various social/economic issues. The cost of hou

I’m afraid it could easily be the biggest mistake made by Apple over the last decade. The bloatedness and slow build time just aren't justified by the shiny, convenient language features.

These zero-cost-abstraction languages don't pay much attention to binary code size. They can't compete with C in that regard. For the low-cost, high-volume embedded devices, code size relates to the unit cost, and thus the profit

I agree with you. But I think it's a "can't-see-the-forest-for-the-tree symptom" that is possibly due to the typical HN demographics. It has been a decade or longer that the US relies on China manufacturing for industria

I am not sure what you mean by "doesn't function as a traction tax". It does create the same incentive for hoarding. I don't see any advantage of it compared with LVT.

A transaction tax does not reduce the demand. It reduces the quantity of transactions that matches the demand and supply. That means it adds friction to the reallocation of resources for more efficient use. It literally encourages hoarding

No, they are different. Unlike LVT, an appreciation tax is a transaction tax, which can be shifted to the purchasers.

It's been mentioned from time to time that Go is a successor of C. As I recently had a look into the Pascal/Oberon family. It looks that Go is no less influenced by Oberon than C. The CSP paradigm likely comes from Rob Pike's

That has to assume that most people would choose lower-paying jobs if the extra income presents. But I don't think it is necessarily true. It is also unlikely that people would right away leave their current job if rents are on the r
