Fuel Tax vs. Mileage Tax - Debating How to Fund American Highways - Popular Mechanics - http://www.popularmechanics.com/automot...
Darren Landrum and winckel liked this
"The government's push to raise mpgs may have a disturbing, unintended consequence—deteriorating highways. As a growing number of drivers buy more efficient vehicles, revenue from the federal gas tax will continue to fall, leaving government officials with a funding gap for highway maintenance. Nick Chambers, the editor of Gas 2.0 takes a close look at some of the high-tech and low-tech ideas that are being talked about now, including a controversial mileage tax." I am a firm believer that a mileage tax will hurt individuals and small business-- even those who are energy and environmentally conscious. So the government pushes us toward more efficient vehicles, but then taxes us and removes any tangible benefit we might have in our lifetime (cost savings)? Not cool.
- Jason, Craving
from Bookmarklet
Agreed. First of all, I'm not convinced that they would completely drop fuel tax in exchange for mileage tax. More likely, we would end up with both. Second, and let's face it, road construction and maintenance could be made more efficient.

"A few months ago, the record dealer who sold me the majority of his Iranian collection told me that his recent finds in Tehran — including Mehr Pooya's solitary LP of fuzz-guitar-soaked sitar funk — were going to a well-heeled international collector. He'd already sold the heavy psych pieces and the Iranian presses of Led Zeppelin albums and The Beatles' Abba Road [sic] for stacks of euros before I got to dig through his collection."

The "DIYers shouldn't exist, if you can't buy the best gear, you don't deserve to be doing this" elitist mentality that presented itself in the comments of that video is really pissing me off at the moment. I just have to shrug it off, though. The best way to deal with elitists is simply to ignore them. In many cases, a partial solution is better than nothing, and come on, it's just filmmaking, for crying out loud.

I agree, Darren. Where's the guerrilla ethic if there's no DIY? I say cut every possible corner and save every possible dollar. Because, in the end, the eye judges only what is suspect.

I'm now wondering if an active rig using servos and accelerometers could be constructed in order to give ALL of the features of the gyro-based camera stabilizers at a low cost. Put a 3D accelerometer on the camera, one on the mount, use a set of servos to control the orientation of the camera relative to the mount, and then program them to act like a set of 3D dashpots as the rig is moved. The servos would have to be sealed against noise, but it's a thought...

I've wanted to build a small version of this for my Flip camera for a while. The Flip is so light that it makes really shaky shots that are kind of barf-inducing.

But people bought a flagship product from a company known for closed systems... Why do attitudes like this piss me off. There is no reason why Apple should respond to the demands and make the iPhone open. Even after all the things Jason said, Apple doesn't HAVE to do anything. They are a commercial entity and if they want to run a closed system, even though Jason believes that it is at their own peril, they don't have to be open. A sense of entitlement is a dangerous position to argue from.

Carl, yeah that's what started all this... he posted it first to his email list (took some comments and edits into consideration) and then posted it to his site. Then a little storm started brewing.

A curious thing happens happens after a wild fire, people spontaneously put up signs to thank the brave people who risk their lives to saves their homes, neighborhoods, and even cities. Fire is scary stuff. We had a bad fire in our area last year and you realize everything can be gone with a turn of the wind.

These signs are from the the Lockheed Fire (http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/inciden...) in Santa Cruz. This fire in no way threatened us but the smoke filled the air everywhere for day after day after day. After it was contained I drove around recording these thank you messages sent on ink, paper, and paint. They are very moving when you keep in mind what is risked by all involved. It's serious business. Sure we pay taxes, but that's not enough and that gratitude needs to erupt somehow and these are the products of those feelings.
- Todd Hoff
we went through that here in Carson city NV a few years back, a wildfire burnt something like 8700 acres or so in the mountains just above C town, there were signs like those popping up everywhere thanking the firefighters. it's kinda sad actually. - Scratch5150

Thank you for sharing this, people do need to be reminded of those who aid our lives and make them better. Remembering is a sweet sorrow.

The last picture is of a booth selling t-shirts and other trinkets to the firefighters so they have a memory of the fire. Entrepreneurs follow fires around, offering mementos. At the height of the fire there were many such booths. I liked this one because they positioned themselves in front of a cemetery.

Solar Customers Fuming Over Proposed Fee - Denver News Story - KMGH Denver - http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...
Kol Tregaskes, Darren Landrum, RAPatton and 7 other people liked this
"Solar energy customers are worried a new fee proposed by Xcel Energy would punish new customers for getting solar panels. The monthly fee, which would pay for distribution and transmission of energy, would go into effect in April 2010 and would have to be paid to Xcel, regardless of whether the solar customer used any electricity that month. Customers who got solar panels before April 2010 would not have to pay the fee."
- Jason, Craving
from Bookmarklet
I think there's something to be said for your argument. If someone wants to put up solar panels and completely disconnect from the grid, great! But if you want a link to the grid (even if you aren't using grid power), you should have to pay a maintenance fee. Seems reasonable enough to me.
- Jason, Craving
from IM
Even if you're providing the grid with power?
- Jordan Hofker
from fftogo
Well, that's fine. If you send enough power back into the grid that it offsets the maintenance fee then thats great. You'll get a credit of some sort.
- Jason, Craving
from my POV this is not about the money invested by Xcel, it's about the profits expected by Xcel. this line of reasoning about "we put the infrastructure there, so you pay even if you don't use it" is weak. sewers, water lines, libraries, etc. all put there. you don't get charged _extra_ if you don't checkout a book or don't flush the toilet. profit-driven utilities will always - in the end - be a failure. they focus on the wrong part of the process.
- MikeAmundsen
if you're dead-set on using a market-driven profit model for power services, then it's only fair that those who find a new source of power generation can opt-out and put the burden of maintaining the existing model on the shrinking group of consumers. as the cost of Xcel k-watts goes up, more will move to solar and the cost of solar k-watts will go down. of course Xcel would like an arrangement where they continue to get paid even as they loose customers, eh?
- MikeAmundsen
In the same vein as Mike's argument: if I don't want cable, internet, or land phone service, they don't charge me a fee even though they've already run the lines to my apartment. I don't get charged for cell phone service when I don't have a cell phone because they already put up all the cell phone towers. Infrastructure is, in most cases, already paid for: developers and local governments subsidize that when the homes are first built.
- Mark Trapp
@Mark: much better examples, thanks. i will admit that it's possible Xcel entered into a franchise deal such that the build-out was not covered with initial investments and depends on some rate modeling they put together that is now faulty. bummer and all. but that doesn't mean consumers should foot the bill for their mistake (if that's the case, here).

Disabling comments on FF is pretty much 100% the same as locking threads at Flickr. Thread locking sucks. Personally I won't frequent groups on Flickr anymore where they lock threads. Why invest time in conversations only to have them end up locked? The best conversations on the internet are the uncensored ones.

I won't be using this to stop a thread when it gets 'out of hand'. I'll use it for announcements and sticky posts.
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm not saying it's wrong for FF to add this functionality by the way. I'm just saying 100% that I will never ever ever use this feature not once and that if someone uses it consistently I'll probably stop commenting on their items.
- Thomas Hawk
I'd also like to see the ability to make an individual thread private.
- Kol Tregaskes
Just Sunday I got sucked into yet another conversation about Flickr deleting another user's account without warning or explanation only to have the thread locked by flickr staff. I think the offense there was that I called someone a sycophant and someone else accused me of wearing a tinfoil hat. Really stupid things to lock a thread over, but then again flickr staff was probably eager...
more...
- Thomas Hawk
What about inviting people to view private threads too? Sort of like Flickr's or Picasa's "Guest Pass" option for specific photos?
- Tyson Key
LOL. Yeah it's how it's used and also policed that is important. It's open to abuse! :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
Tyson, you mean DMing?
- Kol Tregaskes
Aah, good point Kol. But I'm thinking of adding people after the fact.
- Tyson Key
(I don't think you can do that at present, short of trying to reshare a DM and hoping that the recipient sees it as you want)
- Tyson Key
Tyson, yep but that's a generally suggestion, i.e. the ability to add/remove feeds for existing entries. Definitely needed. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
thomashawk That what I am afraid of also, that people will stop conversation just because people disagree with them, or say something they don't like. Conversation can be pretty boring if there is no argument.
- Kim Landwehr
from IM
exactly Kim. I fear that people will abuse this tool, like they've done at flickr. They (Flickr staff) literally locked a thread I was participating in on Sunday because someone accused me of wearing a tinfoil hat. Who the hell cares if someone accuses me of wearing a tinfoil hat? A totally stupid thing for Flickr to lock a thread over. I'm not worried about FF staff locking threads at least, but some members here with especially thin skin could abuse this.
- Thomas Hawk
In hindsight, I'm actually a little surprised to see thread/commenting muting get more backlash than "vanilla" deletion or even editing them (but I feel that lets people get away with "putting words in each other's mouths" as so to speak), given that it's non-destructive to the content/existence of the said comments. Still, there are plenty of ways around it, but I disagree in general with thread muting.
- Tyson Key
the other thing is, I suspect if heated conversations do get locked you'll simply see the most heated participants start new threads saying things like, "Since that Prick so and so just locked this thread over here (with link) I thought I'd restart the conversation here where it can happen uncensored." Not sure how effective this will be, but at least for the user who locked the thread it will keep additional comments off their blog if they've got that plug in installed.
- Thomas Hawk
Thomas, exactly. Thankfully re-sharing is not affected by disabled commenting.
- Kol Tregaskes
Will group admins on FF be allowed to lock threads not started by them in groups that they admin on FF? Or will only the originator of a thread be allowed to lock it?
- Thomas Hawk
I'll find out... ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Yes.
- Kol Tregaskes
I can see reasons for this. I'm an admin at a forum and sometimes I have to lock a thread because the "conversation" degenerates into a pointless argument between two people. Generally, it's a "time out." Sometimes I'll split the pointless argument into another thread (because nine times out of ten the argument is off-topic) and reopen. When two (or more people) bring their personal feud to ANY topic, it's distracting and kills conversation.
- Julie Barrett
Imagine if we had this when the Art Incident(TM) happened a while ago. I could have seen things degenerating into even more chaos... :(
- Tyson Key
yeah, it does look like group admins can lock threads in their groups not started by them. Oh well. I don't use groups very much anyways.
- Thomas Hawk
Art Incident?
- Kol Tregaskes
Your reshare of the DeviantArt photo of the angsty lady in red, of course, Kol. ;)
- Tyson Key
I see, I wouldn't have disabled comments though. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I would have done what I did in the thread and tried to ease the anger. I think disabling commenting there is where the feature could be deemed as being abused. Like I say if you use it for announcements and stickies then fine. But preferably I'd like to disable comments from the start, post the comments then re-enable them.
- Kol Tregaskes
So I'll probably not use the feature at all.
- Kol Tregaskes
I can see uses for the feature, so I'm happy to see they've added it. Whether I use it or not doesn't really matter.
- Jason, Craving
Somebody needs to write a Greasemonkey for this, allowing you to rename the feature. I suggest "Enable Arrington hates hearing that he could be wrong option" with a big red button next to it as a default value.
- Andy Bold
"This thread has been Arringtonned", Andy? ;)
- Tyson Key
I think if FFers abuse the disable comments feature to shut down disagreement, then they'll start losing followers or getting blocked themselves. I doubt that I would use it myself unless a thread got really off-topic (and not in a good way) or somehow became abusive. Simple name-calling isn't itself a good reason to shut down a discussion.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
John, tell that to Flickr Staff. Apparently they think simple-name calling is in itself a good reason to shut down a discussion-- especially if the discussion is critical of their employer Yahoo/Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/help... They also think it's ok to edit the OP's critical words in addition to shutting his thread down.
- Thomas Hawk
Perhaps an interesting alternative is to permit the disable comment feature only on threads with zero comments. After the first comment the option is disabled. What do you think of this possibility?
