There were fewer people and more land that wasn't being used. It's fairly simple, supply was higher, demand was lower. As our population increased and we developed more and more land, the supply shrunk while the demand grew.
No, we should build more housing so that the supply and demand curves intersect in a different place.
Land value taxes and Georgism in general are utopian nonsense that have never done any good anywhere at any time. People love to trot them out as solutions to the housing affordability problem but can never show how they would help -- because they can't help!
Building more housing is the only solution, everyone knows it, and weird pie-in-the-sky stuff like land value tax are distractions that ought to be ignored.
Few years back a certain Redmond company shipped C++ compiler update that was producing actual binaries with telemetry. IIRC it got reverted after an outcry.
The first 1-2 numbers is the generation of Nvidia gpu. The latest 4 generations are 10xx, 20xx, 30xx, and 40xx. The last two numbers differentiate between gpus within a generation. The higher the number the better the gpu, xx70, xx80, and xx90 are common. So the newest gpus that Nvidia are putting out are the 4080 and the 4090, their newest generation and top two performing cards within that generation. In-between generations they usually release a ti variant of the card (3080ti) which is a moderately better version but not a new generation.
I just use both. Use randomly generated tokens that you use to look up user information in your database, but also sign that token and present it as a JWT.
I can confirm this. Context: part of the engineering team that worked on the chat infrastructure around this time period.
The history is basically:
- v1: IRC API to process scoped servers (Python backend, haxe front end)
- kept API as we migrated backed to go (via a terrible course through nodejs); this version allowed all participants to be in a room together (ie cross process servers).
- once most of background was on go we migrated the front end (can’t remember to what)
- backend then got revved a lot (a specialized team was convened to work on chat infrastructure full time)
Physical stores have the means to make it close-to impossible to shoplift goods from their store by investing in security, but they chose not to.
Clearly they believe that shoplifters still provide net-positive value to them.
Which is obviously bs, just because they don't stop you from doing it doesn't make it a net positive from them. It could just as likely mean that the time and effort to stop it is more expensive than the losses they would incur.
They are offering you a service with two options to pay for the service. Either by watching ads or paying a subscription. You are choosing to consume the content without paying.
I'm also paying them with my user data. They use this data to generate insights and make more products that make them more money. It's very easy to overlook how much you are paying through your user behaviour.
