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 :)
It looks like it, but with pfsense you get more control I think. I have several more segments (read: virtual adapters) that route through a VPN or just from my home ip.
So then I can go to mange>adapter settings>lan segments in my vmware settings and change my upstream gateway. This is all 100% transparent to the programs running inside the VM (only problem is that not all protocols support being routed in this sense).
But tcp works, as does DNS over tcp, so most programs you use will work.
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?
To be fair, only Consensys and R3CEV are "developing on ethereum"... Microsoft and Red Hat are merely offering machine images with ethereum software pre-installed for their users, as they do for many other software tools- Though I'm happy to be corrected, if you can point me to a Microsoft and/or Redhat-authored smart contract.
The news for ethereum is positive enough right now, no need to exaggerate the facts.
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?
I don't know, I avoided them entirely except for a bit of change I kept as a souvenir.
One of the biggest surprises: Walking up to an ATM and withdrawing US cash with no fees at all. Not even the bullshit "you're not a member of our bank, so we'll charge you an extra dollar".
"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.
Dale Brown books are one of my guilty pleasures. Actually, Silver Tower was the first sci-fi book I remember reading when I was a kid. He went to military thrillers after that one and I've read all of them too. But Silver Tower and Old Dog are still two of my favorites.
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).
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":
