Less competition? :D

This is a potentially reductive take, but, property tax is theft.

In the guise of 'paying your fair share to be a part of society', property tax is essentially the institution of serfdom to the royalty of state bureaucracy.

Property tax is effectively the same as rent, but the one collecting rent also has martial and lawfare capabilities. Not to mention effectively unlimited funds with which to crush anyone who doesn't fall in line.

If what you have can be taken by another if you don't meet some set of conditions, you don't really own that thing, do you? It's more like a loaner than it is 'I own this thing'.

I'll offer a blanket alternative for state and federal taxation: no taxes on individuals, their income, or their property. Instead we tax exchange. States levy a 10% VAT on all transactions. Federal government levies taxes on interstate commerce, imports, and exports only.

All other forms of taxation are barred. New taxes may not be levied. If the state needs additional funds it may issue short or long term bonds accordingly.

Money printing is shifted away from being owned by an international banker's consortium, re-pinned to durable goods or precious metals.

Wait, do you intend to implement each anti pattern into a single article? Or do you intend to write an article with none of these anti patterns?

It's too early in the morning. Not enough caffeine yet.

I have not. As above, I just find the article humorous.

I just thought it was funny. But ok.

This is one of my favorite articles. I refer back to it whenever the subject of PHP comes up.

Generally, I find that skirting these requirements is a matter of framing and word choice.

For example: 'source recovery' instead of 'reverse engineering' is one I've used successfully. You may also lean into a libertarian 'right to repair' framing. You own the hardware, you should be able to access the device to appropriately repair its security vulnerabilities.

We're not breaking into a bank here, this is a camera you own.

You could even go so far as to cite local laws to support your case.

In short, jailbreaking is more about framing the conversation than it is about triggering psychopathy in the model. :D

Those are all conspiracy theories. ;)

Other names that occur to me: Orchard, Forest, Stand (of trees).

This is probably correct. But also par for the course. I bet there are coffee shops that give skill bonuses or something like that, but I'm betting most don't.

Most folks who do stuff like this just assume it's part of the job and carry on.

Mine was always accompanied by the sensation of being watched. I could 'see' where the watching was happening, but not the actual thing watching me.

Also always accompanied by fear.
