The meritocratic, capitalist way, would be to to put a property tax on it and to increase that tax, until

  • rents increase so much that people can't afford to live in cities anymore
  • cities lose essential employees
  • society shuts down
  • THEN property loses value
  • then it can be bought cheaply again
  • and also rented for a low price, because the tax on the low value property is also low

Let's go people!

A bit, but not really. The key is to understand that it can be applied to very small scale and very simple processes as well. But that it's still the same concept.

E.g.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_%28device%29

Or not getting enough sleep by noticing you're tired and changing your daily routine to change it.

People have tried to run economies with it and that... failed. I think it could be interesting to try it again now that we have seriously wide spread internet access and fast, cheap communication. But forcing it on everyone is probably a bad idea and it's not even necessary. For example, if the data is just easy to access, big companies should do it themselves. That's their entire purpose. We're just hindering efforts that way, because the data interfaces are usually not designed to make it this easy. Like, we don't have a common standard to order material online, or to watch those prices.

So when a fast food chain orders potatoes for their fries and steel mill orders coal and iron, they're using different systems that have to be maintained.


And the reason I'm writing it here, is that people don't know about it. Therefore they don't demand it from their democratic leaders or unions and therefore we don't have it.

I'm not saying anything new.

It's the same kind of voting, negotiation, discussion system we already use everyday. Those just look different when they are the same thing. We are 95% there, we're just missing one or two last steps.

Yeah, except I'm on your side, and that kind of protest is obviously not getting it done.

Because it's what has been tried for decades and the problem is still there.

Having this problem can also be managed by going through the loop. If you original goal was "calculate stuff to prevent bad things", and you can't do it because you're choosing too much accuracy, you can experiment with the accuracy until you find a good middle ground.

We can use super detailed FEM, CFD what not sophisticated science, but sometimes the stuff from the 1800s is just fine.

Your joke, but as a short video by joel haver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnUpTyKSjag

When played the first new mission type, I was utterly confused how to read the UI and where to look for the crystals.

It's maybe a bit too easy since the enemies come very very predictably from one direction, which makes it very easy to clear them.

Otherwise it's fine. The new overclocks seem interesting-ish, I haven't tried any of the ones I have unlocked yet, but It's super hard to come up with new, balanced variations on the same gun when there already is a skill tree and 6 other choices.

I like the new cosmetics, particularly from the season pass.

So yeah, pretty good! Definitely at the level of the others at least. And it's more content. Not that I needed an excuse to play more...

The boring part. Making sure that there are holes in the walls for sockets, enough capacity in the cable trays. Planning the routing, but I didn't have access to algorithm of the software.

Collecting the ever changing inputs from people who want devices with cables in rooms and spaces. :)

1984 literally has a manifesto describing what's happening.

In fact, the brainwashing of the kids in 1984 to report on their parents having / reading / discussing "controversial media" is a major element of the dystopia. Those media are not explicitly named, but I don't think they have to be.

Everyone complaining about the right wing people should take another look at the +40 to 102 non aligned seats.

Those votes went to parties exploring interesting new directions instead of 1) evil or 2) boring old stuff.

France’s electricity, which were 70-80% nuclear at the time, didn’t see any increase in price.

Yes, because the government decided they couldn't raise the price.

Électricité de France (EDF) – the country's main electricity generation and distribution company – manages the country's 56 power reactors.[5] EDF is fully owned by the French Government.

Mastodon has very nice keyword based filter system.

For example, I have the filter "idiot did a thing", and the keywords are a number of names of... popular people that news don't get tired of talking about, even though the thing isn't actually newsworthy.

So if I'm in the mood, I can check out what they did that day, and if I'm not in the mood, I'm aware that they did something again, but I don't have to get angry over the specifics.

Same for other "ongoing" hot topics, that I already am informed about, where I don't need the 24/7 doomscroll effect shoving negativity into my face.

I always recommend this one:

Because the topics are sorted, easy to find and bite sized.
