The Downfall of Numenor by Edvige Faini

NUMENOR

"But wrathful were the Gods of old
And broke the Men that once were bold.
The Earth was rent and Seas towered to the sky:
Numenor was drowned and heard not its maidens cry.
The Sea arose in frightening might.
And waves that looked like endless night.
The mountains fell and towers broke
And thus the mind of Iluvatar spoke."
- Downfall of Númenor - Silmarillion - J.R.R. Tolkien -

@timleunig @DanNeidle can you see a time when LVT (or land value capture to make the name more palatable) hits affordability criteria on say new builds when the purchaser has a mortgage to repay and a LVT portioned?

AI-enhanced cyberattacks will probably become a massive problem in coming years. The only long-term solution is to move (with the help of AI) to verified software, which will require rebuilding almost the entire software base in verifiable languages.
