He mentions ‘racism’ several time and stratification but gives no examples. I don’t get it.
Your examples are not double taxes, but rather colliding taxes. Sales tax is great to be put incentives for purchases. E.g. lower sales tax for healthy food. Or to make sure tourists are taxed as well. Corporation profit tax ensures foreign shareholders are taxed. While shareholders tax ensures people having businesses in other countries pay their share too.

Meanwhile heritage tax involves no additional action and taxes exactly what was already taxed.

> Property must not pass generation to generation unscathed. Too much concentration of wealth is good for nobody, even for the 0.0001%

There's no way to tax all generational wealth transfer. Parents will keep buying their kids houses and cars and paying for their education. I doubt you want to tax a regular family paying for kids' university. Meanwhile those who you want to tax already figured out all sorts of workarounds. Trust funds etc.

> As with peering, I am sure there are knowledgeable people in positions whose job it is to ensure that we get something out of these double-tax agreements. If these entities become a nuisance, there are many ways (preferably peaceful) to deal with them.

They do help everybody who do legitimate business across borders. There's nothing stopping for someone to move to another country and do business in their old country in such manner. It'd be 100% legitimate. Unless you'd ban your own ex-citizens/residents from such scheme :) Which would be a huge PITA to keep track of. Taxing any cross-borders business would mean other countries taxing your own businesses as well. Which would mean companies moving out their HQs and developing elaborate schemes to work around this.

All in all, what you want to do would hurt middle class and small businesses. While the ultra-rich couldn't care less. In fact, they'd just hide away even more assets. Effectively widening the gap.
Looks like you are using it as a reassignable function argument. Makes sense.
No they don't. They prevent everybody with ill intent who doesn't already know about it from finding out about it from the guys without ill intent. That's all.
Do you really expect that sort of regulation to happen in the US, considering that most of the regulators golf with the executives? Its not just about the tech industry here- every industry has conglomerated into a handful of behemoths.

These days, large corporations and industries are more powerful than government entities- just look at how they avoid paying taxes. Until we figure out how to get money out of politics, mega-corps will continue to get their way.

Google is so preoccupied with diversity, inclusion, and social justice (along with a generally overgrown sense of being "nice") that there's no energy left to actually compete. When you focus on making everyone feel safe, you just encourage mediocrity.
Why? Just make the current iteration have a sharp point on it and coat it with your desired toxin or tracker. The tech is here now, and we’re in real trouble without solid laws around this.

Ask HN: Why distributed-ledger/blockchain is so interesting for enterprises?
I've been following the cryptocurrency community in a passive way for the past years and I've been also following the distributed-ledger/blockchain community that grew along the way.

What I've failed to understand is the major traction the distributed-ledger/blockchain got from enterprises (For example, HyperLedger). For every proposed distributed-ledger enterprise use case I've heard so far, I can almost instantaneously come up with a better centralized implementation that does not require the distributed-ledger magic and complex deployment, and successfully meet all requirements: immutability, authenticity, availability and so on. Even looking through HyperLedger or Microsoft Coco framework resources does not yield anything promising.

It feels like this technology is being pushed mainly because (1) Managers want to sound innovative (2) Nobody wants be left behind with all the cryptocurrency/blockchain hype (3) Many people piggyback the hype for self promotion while selling snake-oil.

What am I missing? What real world enterprise processes does distributed ledger/blockchain solve better than a "traditional" implementation? By better I mean - saves money/manpower, increases revenue or enabling desired business processes that were not possible before.

Actually I use it primarily to read technical articles posted here and I reply to comments on here whatever the subject. Nothing I said was untrue and I was quite fair in fact to either of the two sides described in my post.

I will refrain from causing any future concern from you or anyone else, since I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings.
What I've found is they're actually looking for the candidate that goes above and beyond. That "should only take 3 hours" might be true for the basic ask, but you'll never get called back. It's especially common for startups because they're looking for someone who is going to generally have longer hours and lower pay. It's smart for them because it puts most of the work on you, just a very bad experience for the prospective candidate.

I figured out it's code for: build me the assignment, plus other functionality you can think of, polish it nicely, write unit tests and integration tests, and deploy it so I don't have to pull down your github repo.

I'm not against take home, I just don't want to spend my entire weekend just to get to the phone screen. These kinds of assignments are usually step 1 of the funnel and it was very frustrating get rejected without any feedback.

Now I just screen for any companies that require it because it's better for my quality of life.

These points are valid, though I feel what's more dangerous than social media filters reinforcing existing beliefs is those sites and their algorithms putting such a high focus on speed rather than quality. Face it, doing a lot of careful research and producing a well written article does worse in a lot of cases than just kicking crap stories out the door as quickly as possible to show 'consistency' and ride hype trains. The technical setup meant to provide 'relevant' content seconds after something happens discourages anything more thoughtful by design.

>giving owner Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. an advantage in the race among technology giants to capture the next generation of internet users

...seems suspect. Most western Chrome users started off with Netscape, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc., and then switched when they got better machines and got tech-savvier and realized it was a better browser.

So just because a browser reaches a user first does not, I think, mean it has "capture"d that "generation".

And, for reasons that are entirely unknown, the issue got worse due to one of the PTI patches (written by, and hence tentatively blamed on, yours truly). Presumably it caused some minor change in code generation causing GCC to go nuts.

FWIW, the compile flag that Gentoo enabled activates a seriously busted GCC feature, and I'm a bit surprised that Gentoo gets away with it in user code.

" competitive business of being noticed"

I love this phrase. So true.
Almost everything I've seen on error rates from radioactive decay and cosmic particles has been on servers in data centers.

I wonder if home systems are equally vulnerable, or if there is something about data center system design or facilities that make them more susceptible?

I ask because I had a couple of home desktop Linux boxes once, without ECC RAM, that were running as lightly loaded servers. I ran a background process on both that just allocated a big memory buffer, wrote a pattern into it, and then cycled through it verifying that the pattern was still there.

Based on the error rates I'd seen published, I expect to see a few flipped bits over the year (if I recall correctly) that I ran these, but I didn't catch a single one.

Later, I bought a 2008 Mac Pro for home, and 2009 Mac Pro for work (I didn't like the PC the office supplied), and used both of those to mid 2017. They had ECC memory, and I never saw any report when I checked memory status that they had ever actually had to correct anything.

So...what's the deal here? What do I need to do to see a bit flip from radiocative decay or cosmic rays on my own computer?
An important group of homeless people in Brussels are illegal immigrants.

* A lot have gone trough the immigration legal system, where not an acceptable candidate to become inhabitant, and have been ordered to leave, but they never did. The police doesnt enforce these orders, so they can basically just stay and disappear from the radar

* Or they never tried the immigration system. They hope to pass to another country and consider themselves here temporary, even if they can be here for years.

The welfare state doesn't take care of them because they don't legally exist. Their only option is to call police, so they will be treated like the criminals they are from a legal point of view. The best an official can do is ignore them to spare them this.

Your analogy is severely flawed as my door lock is under my control and I know about the risks (i.e it is unlocked) so I can take the steps I need to mitigate that risk

For your analogy to apply here it would be the manufacturer of the door lock having a master key stolen then not telling anyone about it until they have a new lock for you to buy from them, in the case of a lock I would want to know that the lock is useless even if there was not solution so I can mitigate the risk no simply continue locking it believing it to be secure

Currently getting up to speed with Reason (ReasonML). The latest version (3) brings Javascript-like syntax, and after many years of dynamically typed languages, having a compiler infer and check my types for me (and catch many errors before they reach the browser) is a good feeling. It's built using Bucklescript which brings a great toolkit of its own, and also means I'm pretty much learning OCaml at the same time.

I'm learning Haskell too for home/side projects, but ReasonML means I can do functional programming for work whilst I learn all about FP again.

> it appears both homoglyph substitution and zero-width fingerprinting have been discovered by others

They were discovered a long time ago, and there are many other ways to hide data in documents.

Remember that you only need to encode enough bits for a relatively unique ID (and not unique for all files in the universe but only for files with the same content - for a low-distribution file, even 2-5 bits might be enough). On the application level, the most common applications and formats have a very large number of features you can utilize to encode data or simply insert it (e.g., Word, Excel, the PDF standard). On the bit level, unless the application vendor has invested in writing exceptionally tight, secure code, you probably can find someplace to hide/encode a few bits in a file.

But I think the author is on the right track with the solutions ...

> Use a tool that strips non-whitelisted characters from text before sharing it with others.

A more general solution is needed: Something that normalizes data in many formats, from text to Word to PDF to JPG to WAV to markup languages.

Personally, for non-security reasons, I'd love a utility that normalizes text to 7-bit ASCII (e.g., from UTF-8 characters higher than 7 bits) and that fits very efficiently into workflow (e.g., something that normalizes text in the clipboard if I press a hotkey combination). Anybody know of one?

I have thought about a model where if you want your IP protected by government, you can register your IP and pay an ever increasing annual fee for the protection. Say, first year the fee is 100 dollars and doubles every year, so that around 25 years you would be paying more than a billion dollars.

At any time you have the option to quit paying and give your IP to public domain. Also, any IP not in the registry would automatically be in the public domain. This would solve the issue about orphan works and give some benefit from the IP to the society that enforces the IP.

I tire of the traditional media's need to write a negative story about how Facebook is cancer, and then throw in a legitimate company like Apple or Google to make it "Facebook and Google" are cancer. And this instance is particularly obtuse because the "former Google and Facebook execs" are the president of Facebook, and some random product manager from Google. There's only one former president of Facebook and there are probably 20000 former Google product managers. The latter guy is just some rando.

Just curious: Even after an attacker goes through all the effort of finding out the physical address of the memory location they want to manipulate, how would someone make sure to get an adjacent memory location to even attempt to execute the Rowhammer attack? And even then, the smallest memory units allocated are basically pages within page frames, right? So if your target memory row is within a physical page frame, does the RowHammer attack even work? (Since there's no adjacent row an attacker has access to then.)

I think the vast majority of necessities are not really particularly scarce in the US and there is easily enough at the very minimum for i.e. absolutely zero homeless and starvation.

> There's no way to tax all generational wealth transfer.

Yes, there is; tax all receipts as income to the recipient.

> I doubt you want to tax a regular family paying for kids' university

That's not a matter of not being able to tax all generational wealth transfer, but not wanting to do so. Creating exceptions to cover things like that is simple enough, though.

> Meanwhile those who you want to tax already figured out all sorts of workarounds. Trust funds etc.

But there's no reason trust funds have to be a viable work around; even if gains in the fund are tax free, there's no fundamental reason individual receipts of disbursements from the fund must be.

This list makes sense but it also reminds me why I hate the meeting culture. Instead of scheduled meetings people should have more informal conversations to hash out things and let them take as much time as needed. In scheduled meetings either developing ideas are interrupted because the time is over or they drag on for too long.

Funny thing is that in modern open office setups it's really hard to have a real conversation.
