Meh, a strong reason to not retire to the south of france.

This is a good sentiment but wrong idea. The natural state of the world is everyone copies everything. This is hugely beneficial once something is discovered/created. Copyright harms everyone after the fact because of this. Before the fact, credibly limiting copying (i.e. copyrights/patents) may increase discovery/creation. That makes the correct question what is the minimum copyright/patent to get the most increased output for the least cost in lost copying? The answer is a small fraction of current copyright, almost certainly. so there are many decades where fair use now matters when it shouldnt because no copyright should exist at the time fair use is contemplated

Where exactly do you see under regulation? Everywhere i look i see massive over regulation. If you mean under enforcement of antitruat law so obviously stupid oligopolies are rampant instead of shattered into hundreds of pieces, i guess i could agree with that but thats not regulation, thats destruction of the bad end product of capitalism so that the amazing middle of capitalism can thrive.

So? Price carbon correctly and stfu

It's slightly more complex though isn't? Because the actual problem is how to limit the reach of political power while still having an effective government.

you mentioned a secrets vault in the blog post. Is there something specific you like? I'm looking to eventualy move off bitwarden.

I think there are a couple kinds of business success and the kind that Elon has had (driving technology decades forward in years to make stupid ideas highly profitable) across multiple different businesses should make every person highly critical of their own internal models when they disagree with his. This doesn't resolve him of responsibility but I would question responsibility for what exactly? He doesn't like killing people and he doesn't like a bunch of corrupt wankers enriching themselves by siphoning off funds earmarked for the war. He translated that into thinking the war should stop, which ends up being pro russian. I disagree with him. I think we should fund the Ukrainians for as long as they are willing to fight and hope that ends with Ukrainian marching in the streets of Moscow to end that threat to the western world for good. That doesnt' make him a criminal, it does loook like he did a few crappy things hiding behind his terms of service and lies, which just makes him more human.

imo, there should be maybe 3 zones and that's it: mixed use up to six stories (basically allows everything but regulates noise levels, chemical, etc outputs so you don't have pig farm/iron smelter levels of pollution/stink here. Obnoxious things light night clubs are allowed if they can limit their annoyance levels. Everything within the highly permissible zoning should be approved very fast, think a week at most, ideally a couple days). mixed use over six stories. This would allow everything in the previous zone but allow higher builds without rezoning and be fairly fast for approval. Then industrial zoning where you can build the stuff that can't keep itself within the pollution/noise/etc regulations of the first two (think pig farm, garbage dump, industrial factories).

Now apply your first statement to zoning and realize zoning in itself does the exact same thing (and also ruins a land value tax to some extent because zoning cuts off a huge swath of value due to potentially limiting land use from the most valuable use.)

To me zoning is the biggest unacknowledged flaw with a land use tax because, as an example, my land my be worth 1 million if it is limited to single family, or it may be worth 20 million if only my land is rezoned to build a high rise, or it may be worth 5 million if all the land is rezoned to allow highrises. I'm not convinced at all that the biggest problem or even the major problem is how we tax land, which could address a few marginal pieces of land, when literally all the land use is negatively affected by zoning. It feels a lot like complaining someone didn't trim their hedges when their house is on fire.

I think you are missing the other side of the coin where it is actually government regulations holding adoption back in many sectors. Ie you are only beginning to see benefit in driving now because regulation has been forced enough to change to let the pilot projects happen. The millions of drivers who should have been fired by now almost all still have jobs and will ibto the medium term

Go check my history. I am not elon. I am just fed up with all the hate for that guy when he has started atleast ! Companies on premises that have seemed incredibly stupid that then went on to revolutionize an industry. It is unwise to discount his opinion

Everyome, including elon, would think this is a good thing. He is likely tired of everyone else sucking so bad that he looks amazing for achieving like he has. Less sucking from everybody else would be awesome. Push that production possibilities frontier forward baby!

Point of order: allsides is a response to how crap the bias reporting was before. Its not perfect but it is better than what was.

Yes, of course
