There's a good chance it could have the opposite effect. The public doesn't pay as much attention to the workings of the government as donors do.

It's essentially an extension of the Sunshine Act of 1976, which made congressional votes public. There were claims that before it was enacted, legislators were able to vote their consciences, but then lie to donors and tell them they voted for their interests instead of their constituents' interests.

Since it passed, the public has been paying attention, but not like the donor class has been. Something needs to be not only bad, but have some sort of novel or salacious quality to make the news. If it's not near an election, people forget, if they paid attention to begin with. Donors pay attention. Representatives know this.

Ultimately, the problem is the money in politics, but this sort of thing can exacerbate the effects.

The 4th is UBI

He should've posted the website instead of twitter

It's not. You're accusing others of the things you're doing even though they don't deserve it. Neither of us is getting space rocks.

How about you get over your political leanings. Stop accusing people who have legitimate doubts of things they don't deserve. In the context of astronautics, this tech is not earthshattering.

>People would love the flying car if Elon endorsed Kamala

Not true. It's clearly a stunt. Not practical. Nobody wants this on our roads by our houses.

>would have ignored his...

Not true. The left is famously quite critical of Democrats.

>if you are honest

I am, and I don't deserve the insinuation that I'm not. You're not assuming good faith, not only for me, but for the other commenters.

>Reddit

This is HN

>projecting their political stance on anything Elon does

You are quite literally doing that.

TDS isn't real. And if it were real, it would describe the people who support him even though they would never support someone else who has done or said even 100th of the things he's done or said.

Not misleading. Rent-seeking is an undesirable behavior, and it's the primary behavior a land value tax targets. Hoarding limited resources is an undesirable behavior. Making products that have negative environmental impacts is an undesirable behavior.

Other replies supporting taxing externalities and scarce resources are correct, but it can be generalized as taxing undesirable behavior to disincentivize it.

According to the android app store, Nearby Glasses doesn't collect any data, while ZuckOff collects app activity.

Why would I want a bluetooth scanner to phone home? Seems untrustworthy. Nearby Glasses wins from a data safety perspective.

Even if that kind of corruption isn't there, these charities are still a net negative for society. Why do the super rich rail against taxes but then donate all of their money to family foundations? There are multiple reasons. Pull on that thread.

I wonder what apps have implemented this now that a few years have passed.

There was a lot of one-upsmanship at the time. People did it because it was hard. When it wasn't difficult to do anymore, they stopped because it wasn't actually good clean design.

Also, early on, there was an idea that cyberspace should resemble meatspace so the meats don't get confused. That's no longer much of a concern.

Pretty sure they said "go gimp" ironically
