The problem with this is it isn't consistent with how the law works in other cases. For example, A judgment of 'guilty' is considered absolute, not probabilistic.
It can't be held legally responsible because it isn't a legal person. It wouldn't have assets, its owner would have assets.

I consider it doubtful that a court would rule that an AI was a person. Natural persons are persons because they are. Legal persons are persons because it benefits society for groups of persons to act together and not be held individually responsible for what they do - with the proviso that the corporate veil may be pierced if the persons protected by it act with malfeasance.

Allowing a person who can determine the behaviour of an AI in every situation to be protected from the consequences of the AI's behaviour would likely not benefit society.

You might say that an AI whose behaviour is so complex as to preclude a mere human being able to control it is a different matter, but even now if I own a machine that I cannot control and it injures somebody, I would still be held liable despite lacking intent to harm.

And even though a sufficiently sophisticated AI will react to deterrents, so does a dog, and dogs are not legal persons.
Think of it as supporting citizens instead of workers.

UK corporate & capital gains taxes make up less than 10% of overall taxes. This is normal. I'm a pragmatist. Happy to support any realistic plan to shift tax burdens upmarket, if possible but my starting position is that we have X resources to work with. X= about 40% of gbp in most countries. I don't think economies can support much more. I'm not counting on any of the politicians promising to tax multinationals. If they succeed in bringing in VAT-like sums without taking it from the pocket of workers I will change my mind. For now, work with what we got.
You've never been sick with health insurance, have you? I have, it's stressful as fuck worrying about paying copays, deductibles, coinsurance, etc. And I could afford it! And I had short term disability insurance, so I kept my job and my pay during treatment. I couldn't imagine working a job that didn't have short term disability. I don't know how a lower income people could do it.

None of the Nordic countries have taxes as high as the ones you outline above for average earners, though it is possible in some instances if you're earning substantially above average.

For average earners, the tax levels you outline are possible in Belgium, Austria, Germany, France, Hungary or Italy, based on OECD numbers. All of which outdistance the Nordics when it comes to taxation.

Again when looking at averages, of the Nordics, Sweden is highest with ~42.7% of total labour cost going to taxes for an average earner (of which 23.7% is employer payroll taxes). Norway has 36.6%, with 11.5% employer payroll taxes. Denmark 36.4% with 0.8% employer payroll taxes. Finland 43.9% with 18.7% payroll taxes.

Your VAT calculation is vastly exaggerated in any case, as from your net salary you also have to deduct housing costs, food and other essentials, many of which are tax exempt in most European countries. Last time I calculcated how much of my gross salary (excluding payroll taxes) went on VAT, while I lived in Norway, it was closer to 4% (of gross wages, so lower as percentag of total labour costs to make it comparable with the numbers above) despite earning way above average and having a higher disposable income after housing costs etc. than average. For lower earners it will typically be lower, as a lower earner tends to have less disposable income to spend on products that are rated at the full VAT rate.

But their primary defense was offense. The Roman response to true enemy was always "kill them all, man woman and child".

Yeah - whether the "payroll tax" is seen as ever earned by me or not is just semantics. The employers expense is $8k in my case. I get that $8k minus payroll tax minus income tax to my bank account. The net is $4k. In this context if I'm asked how much I earn, the answer is $6k (i.e. before income tax but after payroll taxes).
The fact that it's deducted first as $2k payroll then as $2k income tax doesn't change anything in terms of tax pressure however, and to include the total tax pressure obviously requires also including the VAT and other taxes (property, energy, ...)

I think I figured out where the argument about taxes getting passed though businesses to employees and consumers fails.

while that's true that non-monopolistic businesses will pass any taxes onto consumers through high prices using supply and demand curves as proof, the same models also prove business won't maintain profits for long which is obviously not reality.

So, if they are profitable they must having some kind of monopolistic component to them. Which could be taxed because they are benefiting from a government or market inefficiency.

Advertising is a surprisingly concentrated market, with five or six conglomerates making most of ads you see (WPP, Publicis, Mccain, etc.)

In fact this whole brewhaha was started because the current head of the WPP said he wanted Google to do something about his ads showing up next to extremist videos. It's not inconceivable the article on The Times that started it all was made as part of WPP's strategy to make Google kowtow to them on this subject.

I think open sourcing a language you built is rather different from acquiring companies and locking out competition.

Right now, provided a serial number, American police can trace a gun used in a crime to its last legal owner. It takes a number of phone calls -- first to the manufacturer, then to the gun store, then to the first owner, and down the chain -- but it generally works.

And, although it's not mandated by law, gun owners do tend to keep records on private party sales. Nobody wants to be in the situation of "we found this Glock at a crime scene, and it appears to be yours?" and not be able to provide evidence to the contrary.

So a registry doesn't really offer any real utility... except to confiscate those weapons down the road.

If you want to promote safe storage, the best solution would be a tax benefit for buying safe-storage equipment. Gun safes are expensive, at least if you want something that can't be crowbarred open in a few minutes.

Something else that I would love to see, and stealing a page from the Swiss, is universal gun education.

There are more guns than cars in the United States, and I find it negligent that not every American learn not just gun safety, but also how to safely store, handle, and yes, fire a gun -- even if they never plan on owning one.

Yes but it looks like this wasn't possible. C64 multicolor sprites have 4 colors and it looks like one frame of the dragon is already using 4 colors.

Also, having two separate ditherings of each sprite would use twice the memory per sprite, and that dragon looks to be composed of multiple sprites and possibly multiple frames of animation per sprite. Most games were memory limited, which means the devs had to make several compromises just to get the game to fit at all.

> The reality is that if you were born somewhere poor, odds are overwhelmingly that you would earn a tiny fraction of what someone born somewhere where they are provided proper education and an environment where better alternatives are available.

This is one of those things that is worse in Europe than in the US. Inequality is perhaps less in absolute value, but it's more sticky. The upper class of the US has plenty of immigrants and people who were born poor. Yes, being born rich still provides advantage, but it's clearly not impossible.

In the EU, the upper class has

zero immigrants

very few people born poor (upper middle class minimum) (out of the top10 riches Frenchmen, one was born to a family with less than 100 million francs at the time they were born. One. And he wasn't poor by a reasonable definition at all)
Can't see what the advantage is to "paying the curator" though - why give up control of who my support goes to by letting them split it up amongst their 'elites', when I can just support the content creator(s) I like directly? Which these days, most people already have avenues for or can set up easily. It seems in Medium's (or any middlemen in this arena)'s best interest to avoid that truly 'frictionless' alternative and present themselves as a good compromise.

As others have pointed out here I don't see how empowering some specific group to decide is any different from a traditional publisher model, or indeed how picking a group steeped in a specific culture bubble will 'fix media'.

I used to have tmux configuration with right display settings, shortcuts etc. Then I, too, discovered iTerm's tmux support. I have forgotten all I knew about tmux, I just use iTerm and it just works.

When working through mobile network I sometimes get latencies that makes me wish for what Mosh can do.

Also, for my version of autossh and Ubuntu server needed this incantation:

> I'm not sure I like this. It seems that we're very clearly in the area of diminishing returns when it comes to solar panels.

I don't follow this argument. The median panels used in actual installations have increased in efficiency from about 16% to about 18% over the last 10 years (while the prices have more than halved).

First, the chart you link to is for 'hero' cells, using expensive technology to test the limits of a particular material, it is only tenuously linked to industrial production. There's lots of leeway for improvement in industrial production, which is what matters to the economy.

Second, improvements in efficiency are only one part of cost reductions. In the time that the cost of panels has dropped perhaps 50 fold you're only talking about a 1/3 to 1/2 increase in efficiency.

Third, there's always potential for other materials or structures to come to the fore. If we could find a cheap way of producing multi-junction cells then the ~30% theoretical efficiency limit disappears.

So, there's plenty of scope for continued improvements.
