>Therefore, if at the end of the year neither yourself nor anyone else had made any money from your IP, just assign zero.

If you can declare $0 and not pay taxes on the IP you are basically coming full circle to existing taxation based on the income generated by the IP. However, the more important issue with your proposal is an IP holder might not want to declare $0, despite no current revenue, because your proposal would then tie that $0 valuation to potential damages in the instance of an infringement case.

>As for copyrights - the same framework would make infinite extension unaffordable even for Disney, so I hope we would all benefit.

As both a small business owner and consumer I have always been on the other side of the Disney argument. Why do you think we would all benefit from Disney losing IP protections? Most of the time its a innovation argument, but is their really any innovation being stifled by the Mouse?

As a business owner, if my company creates some form of IP, say a cartoon mouse whom I copyright/trademark to various degrees (name, logo, color(s), etc...),the company invests capital to create a movie starring the mouse and the market votes with their wallets, which the company pays taxes on, and like Steve Jobs I am fanatical about Quality Control and just keep reinvesting in the IP, creating products with the Mouse that the market love and keep paying taxes. Why, at some arbitrary point in time, should my company lose IP protections to the cartoon Mouse and all completed works with the Mouse? As a consumer, I currently know Disney for its high quality productions and there is a lot of goodwill with the brand that has been established over a lifetime, now with the floodgates opened and everyone able to profit off Disney IP there will be confusion in the marketplace leading toward loss of goodwill with the brand.

Echoing my point at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12930056 when you cite a totally biased when it comes to politics site like Snopes, our response is a simple "We Don't Care."

But, tell me, why did she exile herself to 1970s Arkansas? As someone who grew up 3 counties north of the state, I can assure you back then it was considered to be a massively worse place than my native Missouri, and the very close states of Kansas and Oklahoma. There was something qualitatively different about it, in a bad way.

Note that she went from working on the Watergate Committee, which was the highest pinnacle of the Left in the '70s aside from perhaps the Carter Administration years later, to being a partner at a politically well connected law firm in Arkansas, one no one ever heard of outside the state before the '90s.

What's your explanation for her move? Surely she could have tried again to pass the D.C. bar exam.
> "Well, you know the other person is just as bad as my choice, so that makes it OK"

That is perfectly logical in a 2 (effectively) candidate election
We've seen the same accusations against Corbyn in the UK. It's exactly the same playbook - he's sexist, he's anti-semitic, he supports terrorists.

It should be obvious by now that the last thing the establishment wants is a genuine anti-establishment candidate.

And also, that any candidate who wins cannot truly be anti-establishment.

If Trump was a genuine threat to the establishment, he'd never have had a prayer.
I think you're right about the need for debate around how identity politics can be better expressed and that is a debate that seems to have been slightly suppressed on the left. I would say two things about why I don't think this is a good reason to support Trump:

1. The situation you describe is fundamentally about freedom of speech vs the right not be be offended. Trump is not an advocate of freedom of speech and doesn't believe in a free press. In my estimation this is much more dangerous than what you describe.

2. This doesn't even register on my scale of the pros and cons of Trump. The Presidency is not about who decides who gets to say what to whom, that is a matter for society at large. As has been described elsewhere in this thread the damage he will do (if he enacts even half of his platform) to immigrant and womens rights, America's standing in the world and free trade will outweigh a hundredfold any small gains you get from a backlash against political correctness.

It's a quote from the top level comment we're all discussing.
^ This is a spot on analysis.

The only thing I have to add is that the tangential way they go off on Indians and hypothetical scenarios seems random, but is probably part of one of the misinformation campaigns.

Not some evil-motivated, conspiracy laden plot to lie to the public, but stories created by attention-hungry publishers, who are so desperate to trigger outrage for just a moment to get some eyeballs, that they stretch and manipulate information to seem threatening.

This is what I think the election has shown: that if you make a person perceive they are threatened, isolate them by telling them other sources of information (other than your own) are biased against them, that you can get them to act in the most irrational ways.

That is at least consistent with any other taxi/private hire service though, at least in the UK. I'm not aware of any taxi firms that operate on a standard hourly wage. Drivers pay a fee to the base to be registered with them, and in some cases a fee for each fare they are allocated, but the drivers themselves are self employed and the fares they collect are their own. The only difference with Uber is that Uber process the fares for them rather than the driver collecting cash.

As a non-Trump supporter who's frightened that a loose cannon like him can have his finger on the big red nuclear button, I'm disappointed but not surprised that the mainstream media was smug.

Here's an example MSNBC video clip showing what the article is talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zL-ip6GH4c

At the 23 second mark in the video, you can see Brian Williams' body language struggling to contain his condescension for Mark Halperin's interpretation of the poll statistics that could point to a Trump victory. Mark wasn't saying Trump will win or even has a good chance of winning. Mark was just saying there's a possible path to winning. Even discussing what's mathematically possible with plenty of hedging, disclaimers, caveats, and uncertainty -- is ridiculed by the mainstream press. Everyone who thinks like Brian was caught up in the same delusion. If they dismiss one of their own professional peers with a minority perspective, it shouldn't be a surprise they treat rural Americans with condescension. (It turned out that Mark was correct in that Trump's late surge would affect the battleground states and that Clinton would misjudge the continued support of previous Obama voters.)

Looking back, a journalist could have assessed Mark's interpretation of the data in 2 ways:

#1) the poll data is a priori correct (there is no hidden Trump vote missed by pollsters) and therefore Mark sees something in the data because he's sympathetic to Trump

#2) Mark is open to the possibility of Trump winning and therefore can see something in the poll data and make (hedged) conclusions about it that all Trump opponents are blind to

It may seem like positions #1 and #2 are just rearranging the words but they are stating opposite cause & effect. They have profound differences in reality. Brian and the rest of msm interpreted any favorable Trump conclusions about the data as situation #1.

It's the same situation with taking Trump's chances seriously when he's characterized as "a clown" or "he insults women":

#1) Trump can't win because he insults women.

#2) Trump can win regardless of whether he insults women.

The mainstream media and elites focused on #1. The election results proved the actual voters standing in line to choose Trump saw the reality as #2.
Perhaps there is a middle ground? People need food, and being able to grow your own saves money. Small scale production builds community and resilience. Perhaps people need to feel a connection to the land in rural areas. It is not just about food.

This makes me skeptical that you're a programmer, because you just described programming. CLIs are everywhere in programming, and if you haven't written a script you prototyped on a command line, you can't be very experienced as programmer.

JavaScript birth story
You can use them from C++, but its definitely not the expected usage and not particularly easy.

I personally much prefer QtQuick to QtWidgets, and really like the QML declarative language as a better HTML/CSS for non-web. But I completely agree with you that I would prefer if I could code all my logic in C++ and not JS.

I've been meaning to play around with two ideas:

1. Construct the QtQick widget scenegraph wholly from C++ (and not using QML/JS at all). Doable, but definitely not intended usecase.

2. Construct the scenegraph using QML, but using it only for setting values (and never any logic) and then manually connecting the signals from the QML-created widgets to C++ slots.

My landlord takes the risk of owning the property, and I pay a premium for that.

You pay a premium so your landlord can take risk to get the most lucrative profits? Why, you are a benevolent renter, aren't you?

By your logic, owning a small company with some employees is passive income and "bad",

That is not at all what I said; your reading comprehension needs work. Owning a company with employees[1] means you are responsible for allocating the income into business profits among your employees. Most people who scrub toilets and wash sheets for AirBNB rentals are NOT employees or the owners of the properties. Along the same lines: the right way to treat employees involves giving them part ownership of the company they are working for, and thus they are rightfully entitled to some of the income from business-generating assets. Landlords do not do this. They farm out the work required to manage or maintain the assets, and demand the lion's share of the profit.

[1] There is a definite legal definition of "employee", and you don't seem to understand what that is. See the IRS's definition. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employe...

That's just pure speculation because you do not like Trump or his policies.

Thiel is a very good person to advise on the tech sector and which direction technology might lead society to since he obviously called many major developments and made huge profits on these bets.

Thiel also happens to align with the Republicans on certain issues so why should Trump not ask for his advise or Thiel offer advise?

It's great that a true Libertarian like Thiel even gets the chance to influence the direction of the government.

Trump won because people are sick of SJWs. He won because people are sick of being called racists when they're not. He won because his opponent was objectively worse. Any other democrat running against him would have probably led to different results, but the bickering between the children turned out in Trump's favor.
It's ridiculous that either one ran. All we can do now is hope Trump does well. It really wouldn't be that hard to do "well"; we haven't had a good president for quite many years.
NO... humanity should explore fusion because we might desperately need it to survive.

To what amount can you scale up solar in a particular region?!

Yeah, I know, we're into low-power everything nowadays... but let's say that you end up with a desperate need for smth like 1 TW of power for something like a sea-water desalination plant, massive irrigation needs because climate change fucked you up, or building a huge set of flood barriers (think what Nederlands has now, but you need them 100x larger, 5x cheaper and done FAST) because sea levels rose and people will die if you don't get the massive cheap energy needs for these projects ASAP. Or maybe a huge TW power laser for some space-dev project if you don't want to think of disasters. Or maybe to decontaminate large amounts of water/soil/air after the first large-ish nuclear/bio/chemical war that will take place on Earth.

If you're betting on solar and wind and you end up suddenly needing high levels of cheap (it can be "long-term like 100 years on cheap" if you're a country with a good credit score) power, you're.... fucked! Yeah, fusion won't be scalable to massive energy needs "out of the lab", but in 100 years from now when your grandchildren will need it to save their lives from the consequences of our planetary fuck-ups, it will be!

(And yeah, short term you can scale fission better probably. So investment into "dirt-cheap fission power that anyone can have" is also crucial. But longer term it hits other scalability bounds.).

In a perfect world where we don't totally fuck-up the planet, solar and hydro and geotermal and wind and waves would be enough.

In the real world, where we will fuck-up the planet, things like fusion are desperately needed to un-fuck regions of it and re-terraform them (and also to get into space exploration fast and big, not "snail-paced solar-powered").
Hi tomp!

I was trying to summarize masondixon's stated points about the negative effect electing "statesmen" have had. masondixon listed:

- two wars

- Obama missed seeing the rise of ISIS

- Syria is a humanitarian nightmare

- we had a huge financial crash

- and terrorism is on the rise

I thought "crisis" could fairly characterize any one of these, but what I consider the substance of my response was what followed, when I asked masondixon to clarify his or her logical argument and extended it by analogy to other common points of public concern, like medicine and transportation safety.

I think you're correct to point out that "starting a war" and "avoiding crisis" are substantively different and accept (what I perceive to be) your criticism.

Haven't read in detail your citation, although I'll note claiming a Republican operative said "We have three major voter suppression operations underway" is ludicrous on its face, "suppression" is not a word you're going to use when talking to hostile MSM reporters, but lower turnout was baked into the cake if for no other reason than Obama was not on the ticket.

For that matter, compare Democratic votes in all three elections, looks to me like you can draw a fairly straight line 2008 to 2016.

But if you drop the loaded word suppression, yes, of course part of the game is to discourage the people who might vote for your opponent, the biggest change is that the language used today is by comparison quite tame.
I think the excellent first half of your post was rather undermined by the suggestion that France intervened in the Libyan Revolution because they were worried by a desperately-fighting-to-stay-in-power Gadaffi's longstanding plan to introduce a gold dinar.

If nothing else, it's a reminder that worldliness is no innoculation against the tendency to be able to draw some very strange conclusions from selective, agenda-driven news reporting.
Trump got about the same percentage of white votes as the last several Republicans, less in absolute terms because turnout was low.
Not really, fusion needs to keep the reaction in a near vacuum where fission uses a multi loop system which creates a lot more surface area and waste. Further the blanket needs to be made from lithium to make tritium in a DT fusion setup capturing those fast neutrons without creating long term waste.

Most importantly they are vastly safer and thus need far less security and far less insurance. Remember a huge benefit for PV solar and wind is they don't need guards.

PS: Another consideration is the half life is short enough that over 20 years things become a lot less radioactive. Fission has some half lives just long enough to be a real pain.
