Can you explain how land value tax relates to current UK council tax? Is CT just a really poorly implemented LVT and could LVT be implemented by modifying the existing CT system?
I advocate for LVT in the abstract but get stuck on explaining implementation in a relatable way.
p.s. really appreciate your persistent posting on this :)
Are you suggesting that Consensys, Microsoft, R3CEV and Red Hat are only developing on Ethereum because of clever marketing? There isn't some technical merit to the platform that means they are doing this?
Why didn't these companies develop their products on Bitcoin? Are they incapable of due diligence in this space?
Someone linked to B4RN [1] the other day: community owned, non profit, symmetric gigabit internet in the north west of England, for £30 / month.
If more of these networks spring up, then maybe something good will come of BT's tardiness in laying decent infrastructure. Granted, B4RN is strongly enabled by being able to easily lay fibre under farmland, but there are other models that are more appropriate in urban areas - see e.g. the guifi network [2] in Catalonia.
This is a big improvement over the previous setup, but I feel that it could do with handling the most insecure part of the process: downloading and verifying the tails iso.
It would be great if this installer could leverage the trust I have in my system to painlessly acquire and then validate the tails iso, without having to deal with
I just tried feeding a regular debian iso to the installer and it didn't complain at all. This shouldn't be possible - what if this was a bad tails iso?
"Fatal Terrain" is good as well. Released in 1997 so slightly more up to date. I read it hoping for fantastical descriptions of flying battleships hanging from a paper thin plot and was not remotely disappointed.
The problem is complicated if we consider that the missile is moving at supersonic speeds (~mach 3 + aircraft speed).
I don't know much about supersonic fluids. For anyone interested in following this up, here is a paper on "Reproduction of Virtual Sound Sources Moving at Supersonic Speeds in Wave Field Synthesis":
There were actually four microphones - captain, first officer, cockpit and observer (see page 46, Figure 9). Four receivers is sufficient to determine the sound origin at a point in space, with an associated error volume (three receivers only allows you to determine a curve in space).
Can you be more specific about the useful skills? Like a list, out of which you need 2 or 3. Would be good to know what specifically companies want you to be confident about :)
I wrote notedown precisely so that I could edit notebooks in my text editor and version control them as plain text.
It would be good to be able to transparently edit a .ipynb in a text editor - I've been meaning to wrap notedown in a vim plugin but haven't had time. This still leaves the version control problem though.
Note that I recently enabled the reverse (editing markdown in the browser as if it was a notebook), enabled by setting the following in ~/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_notebook_config.py (or similar):
With the infrastructure described, I can imagine the turnover increasing as 'paper' length decreases. When there are lower barriers to sharing with other scientists perhaps the scientific method will become a more iterative and communal process: less cathedral, more bazaar.
