You can have a tax system by applying it to earned, applying it to accumulated, or by doing a little bit of both.

Inherited wealth was already taxed at one point too. All money is taxed multiple times as it moves throughout the economy. That by itself isn't a good reason to dismiss any tax plan.

Theoretically there are good economic arguments to back up a 'wealth' tax as a replacement of income tax or an adjustment to it. In theory, it could discourage keeping enormous reserves and keep money flowing through the economy -- it'd essentially incentive corporations hiring and building out operations rather than sitting on a rainy day fund or paying dividends.

As I said though, in practice it just isn't entirely feasible even if you decided it was a policy worth pursuing.

Steel does not require coke (which can also be made from things other than coal): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_reduced_iron

Steel is <2% of US coal consumption, too. It's basically irrelevant to coal as a pollution or economic issue.

Any resource that uses coal can be replaced by a renewable source. Coal is just a carbon source, and carbon is one of the most accessible elements. Producing very pure carbon from biomaterials produces energy and is very similar to the production of coke from coal. It's very economical and the only reason it isn't used is because coal is so insanely cheap.

> batteries (both as scalable consumers and suppliers); widespread electric car usage might accidentally help her

I've been in a some jurisdictions that have periods of low water supply where you can't water your lawn or garden on certain days, or sometimes based on whether your house has an odd or even number. Imagine the same applied to fueling up your car. Not enough wind and sun this week, sorry you'll have to stretch out the capacity you put into your car last week.

Obviously demand could be shaped with spot pricing, but it's interesting to imagine how rolling brownouts would affect mobility and transportation.

> The only way to clean up such a huge mess is to create a system that mimics the way life would do it. Really, if something could eat plastic there wouldn't be quite such a bad problem. It is because no living creature can digest plastic that it stays around and accumulates. So the solution is to create a kind of artificial life that can eat the plastic. Robots that replicate themselves, with a little bit of manual assistance, and collect and convert the trash into forms that can be used by living creatures.

Performance is not as a good vs native as others have said but its usually good enough for most users with most PDF's.

In practice what really prevents it from being viable in my experience is print quality. Since it uses canvas to render the PDF and their print solution just prints the canvas images, they dpi is low and the output is noticeably "fuzzy". PDF being primarily for print this really kills it. You have to save as PDF and print using Acrobat to get good quality.

If they ever get their SVG back end working it should solve the print issue, honestly they probably should have started with a SVG back end, this same issue plagues many canvas based libraries.

Interestingly they tried to do a canvas based print api (mozPrintCallback) that went nowhere. IMO browsers need better print abilities (see PrinceXML). But at least SVG is rendered to vector on print in all major browsers.
> At some point the market won't be attractive enough.

I don't know about that. When attacking a very large party it can definitely - in my experience, which is only one data point - make a huge difference who your lawyer is.

I've had a little round on the mat with a very large Dutch corp and once I switched lawyers from a small office in Amsterdam to one of the legal giants here (it was hard to find one that wasn't conflicted) it was over extremely quickly.

It shouldn't make a difference but apparently it sometimes does.

I think they buried the lede: wind is so cheap because of tax credits. Once those are taken out, it's simply competitive with the LNG power generation, and about 2/3 of coal.

Turbines require a ton of high risk maintenance, and have limited lifespans due to the stresses they are put through.

Still very good, but not as good as the headline and the first half of the article claims.
Sure thing.

For slicing, see Jake VanderPlas's book: https://jakevdp.github.io/PythonDataScienceHandbook/03.02-da...) that describes the complexities -- some kinds of pandas slicing include the last index, some kinds don't.

View vs copy is even worse. There are some situations where indexing on a DataFrame yields a view, some situations where it yields a copy, and they are effectively indeterminate in a lot of situations. From the Pandas documentation https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/indexing.html#i...:

See that __getitem__ in there? Outside of simple cases,
it’s very hard to predict whether it will return a view
or a copy (it depends on the memory layout of the
array, about which pandas makes no guarantees), and
therefore whether the __setitem__ will modify dfmi
or a temporary object that gets thrown out immediately
afterward.

By contrast, the vanilla python rules are much simpler: slicing always leaves off the last index, and the rules for view vs copy of mutable data structures like lists are at least determinate...

You could probably get it off the ground a lot faster if you lost the self-replicating requirement. (Self-replication / self organization is super cool and a research field of mine, but still a ways away from production).

Just make a lot of them to start with and clean them up when/if they're done. Or make them biodegradable.

Dynamicaly adding filters or parts of the query, be able to have different parties to construct query, do transformations, replacing objects,... that would be great.

How is this a conspiracy theory? There are people on the fringe left (and fringe right) who want to do exactly that. They wouldn't necessarily phrase it that way, but what they advocate for would accomplish that as a side effect. If the conspiracy theory is that these people are everywhere, then sure, but that such people exist is in no way a conspiracy theory.

I've been using disposable Pilot Varsity fountain pens. They're perfectly decent, medium nib pens that write smoothly. I've never had one leak or stain my fingers, and you don't have to mess with refills.

I had given up on fountain pens, as I always had problems with them clogging or leaking or just not being able to find refills. The Varsity has me using fountain pens again.

At about $2/per, there's no reason not to give them a try to see if you like them.
Glycogen storage causes significant water storage. If you deplete your glycogen, you'll lose a significant amount of water weight. This is why people lose so much when they first start dieting.

12 pounds in a week of a real fast seems reasonable for someone who weighs 170. Call it 4 pounds of fat and 8 pounds of glycogen and water.

I was on Amtrak a few years back and we made an unscheduled stop out in the middle of nowhere. A few minutes later, one of the conductors got on the intercom to let us know that the train had run over a shopping cart, and that they were going to have to dig the mangled remains out from underneath the engine.

I went back to my game and we were under way soon enough, but can you imagine if an engineer had to drive out to meet the train and put it back into operation? We would have waited hours just for them to drive hundreds of miles out to where the train was. I imagine it's less of a problem on a little subway system.
As a tech business owner, I learned the hard way that you must pick a bank to match your business. If you are a small shop, don't bank with large banks. Find a local / regional bank, go physically there, develop a relationship with the bank. You have absolutely no financial leverage and no meaningful relationship with a large bank and that's not in the best interest to your business.

That's a good thing. Over-urbanization is a real problem. It's much worse outside the US, with monsters such as Delhi and Sao Paulo, with huge slums. The US has managed to avoid that.

The other failure mode is where the rich cities eat the country. Japan did that - Tokyo and Osaka are growing, and the rest of the country is emptying out. China is trying desperately to keep Beijing from growing further.

You're going to lose some water weight no matter how hydrated you stay. Carbs soak up water, so without carbs you will weigh less as the water disappears.

You don't want to be dehydrated, but especially if you're fasting, you can overdo it on the water and end up in the opposite arena: overhydrated. This can suck out minerals and nutrients from your body, and since you're not eating to replace them, you're in major trouble.

I think most of what he says is correct, but it doesn't seem to address the actual problem I run into. The problem I see with my group's projects is not that we're trying to make it perfect. That almost never happens. Instead, management wants us to "just get it done," and "stop wasting time planning," and we end up with something that doesn't work well and is hard to maintain. Where a few days of pre-planning would have pointed out some areas where we were likely to get stuck and given us enough foresight to think up a better (but not perfect) architecture that we could implement in the time allotted. It still wouldn't be perfect, but it would be good instead of bad, which is what we end up shipping usually.

> Well, why is the rent still so high?

Rent in SF is going down actually. 2 years ago we moved into our apartment with my girlfriend and whatever price they mentioned our immediate response "YES WHERE DO I SIGN" just because we were so happy to even find a vacancy at all.

1 year ago they wanted to raise our rent $400 (about 6%), we negotiated it down to a $40 increase. Pretty good right?

Well, this year we negotiated our rent down by almost $300. In SoMa. Our rent is now cheaper than it was when we first moved in.

Next year we're hoping to move to a bigger place for the same price or cheaper. It's probably going to be possible.

Fun fact: Our apartment building considers it a success if they get 50% of their tenants to renew the lease.

Not always true when someone having only $25K in assets is servicing a challenging $20K debt.

Someone else without debt having $5K in cash can sometimes jump at an opportunity that would be completely out of reach for such an encumbered debtor. They usually wouldn't have the $20K debt unless they had already spent all or more than all of their cash at one point, up to approximately $25K already spoken for.

I am not sure microservices are good for scalability in that sense. Microservices divide your application vertically, but for scalability you want to divide it horizontally. You don't want a separate service for each feature of your app, you want an application server that you can replicate as many times as necessary.
> You can move anywhere you want -- but you are not guaranteed benefits. Should be obvious!

You're not explicitly forbidding them to stay, you're doing that implicitly, by correlating their getting financial assistance with them remaining in a specific place. It's the same thing with saying "you're free to leave your job anytime you want!" when you're full of financial responsibilities (rent/mortgage, kids, older relatives you have to take of) which means that you are not in fact "free" to leave that job.

The importance of typography in aircraft piloting systems UK
One easy way to get started on this which isn't an extended fast is to do something like the Warrior Diet. What I do is skip breakfast and lunch virtually every day, except for fresh vegetable juice I make myself, and all the coffee and water I want. Occasionally I have one or two dates or a banana, if I really need something. Then I eat a big dinner, ideally balanced with vegetables, meat and carbs at the end--but usually it's not the ideal. Eating dinner is really enjoyable, and there's no guilt.

I started this just over a month ago and have lost ~15 pounds so far (from 240 to 225, I'm 6'3"). I've never felt better. The juice I make is: 5 lbs carrots, 4 red beets, 1 kale, fresh ginger root, fresh turmeric root. All organic. It lasts 3 days, which is good since cleaning a juicer is annoying. I bought the "Tribest GSE-5000Green Star Elite Jumbo Twin Gear Juice Extractor" from Amazon.

Ironically, I started this during a 1-week vacation at an all-inclusive resort. I'd never been to one before, and by the second day I resented being told when to eat enough that it seemed the perfect time to try something like this...
