The fact that humans have always owned land is a meaningless argument. We can all decide to use a better system for anything if we agree on it.

The article proposes taxing the unimproved value of land at 100% which I think gets around that problem totally.

The title is technically correct but its second interpretation (the correct one) is not the most obvious one so it is misleading.

Is this necessarily a bad thing? Naturally occurring insect habitats don't get cleaned out, right?

I'm curious which method you're referring to when you talk about one country unilaterally stopping global warming.

The study you linked did not measure CO2.

Isn't it a fair question to ask though whether the average BMI of those with a "normal BMI" (18.5-24.9) changed during the time frames of interest? And if it did, couldn't that still be a cause?

Are these fair statements to make? Most counties don't set up infrastructure for early voting at the same capacity as they do for election day voting. This level of early voting turnout is unprecedented right? Of course people shouldn&

Shame being philanthropy's strongest motivator is too cynical a perspective for me. Also, many people take pride in defying those who tell them that they're living their life wrong in some way so I believe shame backfires more oft

Interesting. I feel the exact opposite. I think he is a great artist, but I think his persona outside of the actual songs is just noise.

Much better video quality in Zoom than Google Meet from my experience with both products.

fwiw, I have found video quality on Meet to be by far the worst out of any video chat app I've ever used. My company pays for g suite but all the video in my google meetings range between 320x240 and flip phone video from 15 years ago,

This is correct and it also applies when middle clicking a link. That's where it really matters for me.

My biggest gripe with Firefox is how it opens tabs. If I open a new tab in Chrome, it opens just to the right of the current one which is nice because it keeps related tabs together. In Firefox it opens to the far right which is annoying. I

It does. Government announcements would still be available online if they were originally posted on a government website and their reposted content was removed from Twitter afterwards. It would be harder to make the case that Twitter is pre

When I was a high school sophomore, Blackboard allowed you to customize your student homepage with widgets, one of which was a "notes" widget which allowed you to save random strings which would be displayed on your page next time

I don't think people are arguing that collectibles are the problem. They're arguing that the gambling is. In this context, we're defining gambling as exchanging money for a chance at receiving something of value. I think that

One could argue that refraining from submitting low quality content is being part of the solution. Some people would rather this site have only a few submissions per day than be filled with low-quality content.

*..."In Wildfire-Prone California" The study says it could apply to other semi-arid environments as well. Interesting study but the qualifier is definitely necessary.

I think it's not very clear from the article because the article doesn't claim that sipping water throughout the day isn't very good, just that it doesn't cause some neurons to fire. Do you have any source for "sipp

I wouldn't be so convinced that passengers are willing to pay these surge prices to go home. Sure, the first time a passenger encounters this artificial surge, they're already planning on taking uber/lyft home so they'll

This is really cool to think about. In practice though I would imagine every incorrect prediction to be incredibly jarring. Additionally my intuition is that latency is easier to decrease than predicting the next 30ms. If there is some leve

It definitely would not. "Entertainment" to me would include industries like sports and gambling, which are, to most people, not art (although some gambling could be argued to be art). I'm not sure why some people in this thr
