> Also full 100% inheritance tax.

Everytime I see this proposal it's of the "burning bridges" type. To ensure that everyone starts at the same crappy starting position. There are never any considerations what to actually use the tax revenue on. It's only intended purpose is to take away money from the "evil" rich parents. The justification is that the income is unearned but the flaw with this type of justification is that the parents clearly earned the money and paid taxes on it.

So far I haven't seen any proposals to redistribute the money to actually decrease inequality other than by making everyone equally poor. How about distributing that money back either in form of a UBI or some kind of trust fund that children can withdraw from at the age of 18. I haven't seen anything like that and therefore I'm against a 100% inheritance tax.
It's interesting that you feel the need to shift away the attention form socialist dictators with a switch to the US (where btw you can even elect a judge or Sheriff). I've seen you doing that on the hacks by Russia before. So what is the world you thing you are accomplishing by drawing this?

Would you prefer living in a quasi dictatorship that watches over what you write on the internet because you have nothing to fear since you are so "compatible" with their views?

How do a world in a tight ideological bondage, aiming for ideals from the last century prosper in your eyes? Or is this bound to this "I don't care what happens when I die" view that comes with climate change denial for example? Do you believe in climate change (the religious tone here is intentional)?

Do you feel that the world became "complicated" and you having a hard time to follow certain topics?

Adam Smith, the American founders, Locke, Hume... and others that form the basis of ideological capitalism... they idealized independent people, usually farmers. Entrepreneurs, maybe 10 person tin factories. Facebook or Unilever... Idk if an economy of mostly these is all that capitalist, by the proponents' definition.

Then you need to read the french free marketers like Frederic Bastiat or Gustave de Molinari :p
Allende was a socialist, who believed in nationalization of means of production and central planning. We know very well where that leads in other countries. When you stand for central planning, you do not stand only against economic freedom but against Freedom at large, because central planning does not limit itself to the economy.
Until there’s a dual (glucagon, insulin) pump released, you’ll still be waking up to deal with those low BG alarms. You may be dealing with fewer alarms because of the predictive suspend feature, sure.

Our 6 year old has had a Medtronic 530g which (you probably already know) suspends basal delivery when it reaches a low threshold. I’m pretty sure it’s saved his life a few times (at night) over the past 4 years. He’s due for a new pump and we were hoping the Beta Bionics dusk chambered pump would be ready by this time, but sadly it still looks to be a couple of years away. The Medtronic 670g is likely his next pump, which will add predictive suspend and IIRC will also auto increase his basal rates to account for highs.

OpenAPS looks interesting but for now I’m not willing to experiment with it on our son.

I reply with what I saw and discussed with natives: Typically dog meat consumption is isolated to smaller cities or rural areas. Older generations are more comfortable eating dog meat and younger generations (especially educated individuals) dislike it. Consumption is mostly a factor of social economic status. Anecdotally, while admittedly I most worked in a single city, I did take time to travel to a number of different cities/provinces and not once did I ever see a 狗肉饭馆 (Dog meat restaurant).

Actually, if you permit me to give a personal opinion: I find it quite strange that we bias one animal over another for consumption (cow vs dog). I understand the moral connection to pets, but it seems slightly illogical to have one be taboo other the other for consumption. After all they are both animals. Also, it’s interesting that in the UK people turn their nose up at offal, when it seems like a more total and efficient usage of an animals meat.

I’m vegetarian though (which was a complete nightmare in China).

> China is a very capitalist country compared with, say, EU.

That is patently false. In China it is impossible for foreign companies to compete on a level playing field. There is a huge amount of protectionism and anti-competitive practices, the currency is manipulated to favor exports, and it's basically impossible to make it big without ties to the CCP.

What you regard as an "American interpretation" is simply not true.

I think you have over-simplified the issue such that the result doesn't give a useful understanding of what's going on in the US.

There are far more than two cohorts, and there are multiple levels of privilege, not all of which are hierarchically arranged.

No long-time Bostonian is going to place Boston a blue blood (an example of an upper-class WASP) in the same cohort as a Ukrainian immigrant.

In a test for "is there hiring discrimination on the basis of skin color?" then certainly a Ukrainian immigrant and upper-class WASP would be categorized together ... in the current US context. (I say "current US context" because Finns were once considered non-white because of a presumed Mongolian heritage; Italians and Greeks of course were also considered not-white, even though most now consider them "white".)

But the US also makes it illegal to discriminate based on religion (a majority of Ukrainians are Orthodox) and national origin. For that they would be in different cohorts.

Certainly some Americans might only use a single, simple ranking system where all white men are put together. This lawsuit alleges just such an example.

But it is not the general American interpretation of diversity.

Note also that the alleged focus on "Women, Blacks, and LatinX" does not even consider that Native Americans might apply, so it sounds like this is a rather naive policy to start with.

Also, this lawsuit says nothing about the Google hiring practices involving non-Americans. It may be that a Ukrainian immigrant might have faced different obstacles than an American-born applicant with Ukrainian-born parents.

What I think you're seeing is that race and gender (however constructed) have been the most significant forms of discrimination in the US -- and of course in other countries as well. So those are the ones which are talked about the most.
Pretty decent, alternative approach is to form virtual "formations" when units near each other and move as blocs. This removes multiple problems like units bumping into each other on the way and is kind of the behaviour a strategy player would expect. On obstruction, make neighbours slow down and indeed use obstruction avoidance (local pathfinding) to "squish" the formations. Return to these later when possible.

Yes definitely. That is orthogonal to the main pathfinder. Moving units doesnt count as "walls" and so they can just push each other using a physic/collision engine and move all together like one body as well using that engine which is a sort of "local pathfinder" in some ways (it can be tweak so that units tend to avoid each other and all).

Why even mention Guantanamo. Pol Pot's popularity and rise was enabled by the USA's absolutely monstrous and indefensible atrocities committed against Cambodia (and Laos) during the "Vietnam" War.

After Pol Pot's genocide was stopped (by the Bad Guys, Soviet-backed Vietnam), the US (and China - its commie BFF since throwing Taiwan under the bus) supported the Khmer Rouge as the Cambodian representative in the UN until the 1990s.

You know, like having the Nazi Party represent Israel or Poland until the 1960s.

The US armed, funded and kept alive the Khmer Rouge in the 1980s, and Reagan's British poodle Margaret Thatcher even sent the SAS to train them.

To expound a little: the same scenario applies to pure salary. If Amazon really wants to avoid taxes it can increase salary until its profits are 0.

As you're pointing out: this makes the ledger '0' in one spot, but increases it at the same rate at another spot. It's not a tax dodge, it's tax rearrangement.
Some people say this kind of populist stuff (and worse) on campus here too. I feel like some of the polarising optimisations in social media that have happened in the US etc spill over to here - but the stakes are much higher here.
I got curious to try horse meat in the US recently, only to find that it's essentially banned from consumption throughout the entire country, through a combination of local laws and congress defunding horsemeat inspection (making it impossible for horse meat to satisfy USDA requirements). I understand banning dog meat, to an extent, considering I would never eat it - although I agree that others should be allowed to. But horses?

To my surprise it seems that horses in the US still become food at some point. They first have to be shipped to Mexico, where it is legal to slaughter and butcher them for meat, but not to consume them. The meat is shipped to Asia and Europe where the consumption is acceptable and legal.

The commonly cited reason behind horse meat being illegal is that horses are given drugs throughout their lives that may make their meat unfit for consumption. Yet there are no provisions for consuming horse meat that is raised like normal livestock. Indeed, whenever horse meat becomes an issue in the US, activists take action, which lends credence to the idea that the ban is more moralistic than a regular safety precaution.

The idiotic part is that this doesn't prevent horses from being slaughtered and eaten. Instead, horses are shipped thousands of miles to Mexico, where many die due to the heat on the journey, before being slaughtered anyway. All I wanted was to try what I've read described as "like very lean beef"

PEN PLOTTERS. My dad's HP-7475A was the cat's ass back in the day. I still remember the sounds that thing made as it turned its carousel, snatched a pen, and then started making laser-sharp, perfect lines on the page. My dad used it for drafting.

Eventually I read the manual and learned how to command it using BASIC, because of course I did.

These days, my dad messes around with 3D printers, so a lot has changed, but then again a lot hasn't.

Art = Tax Haven. Long time ago in my teens I worked in art outside of NYC and my friend's whole business was a Art Moving Company. Art isn't about art but to a very small number of people. I can't tell you how many times people would say that they don't even like the art they own.

Art is stored away where no one is able to see it, and all for tax havens. You can put your art into storage where the art sits and the owner doesn't have to pay taxes on their purchases.

Behind western capitalism is a long tapestry of human exploitation punctuated by periods of total war. Pre 18th Century there was slavery. Then when that became unpalatable we moved to colonialism. Finally we have used modern globalism and information technology to abstract the exploitation out of sight.

My experience has been that the more things on the menu the worse the lower quality the food is, however it can be executed successfully. Wegmans, one of the grocers in the area has a huge variety of prepared food options. Despite the number of dishes, the quality is consistently high. They put a substantial effort into developing an entre before it goes into stores, and also own a few restaurants that probably help with this. Just one example of how it can be executed successfully.
Not really a catch-22: The chicken was supposedly declared safe before it laid those radioactive eggs. And if the designs and siting were subsequently found to be unsafe, why are those reactors re-certified as safe? The nuclear power industry has only itself to blame for costs and safety.

One angle on the modern art world I heard is that it is used as a bribe that is tax deductible. They briber buys the art from the person they are bribing and then they donate it to a museum at the paid value and deduct it on their taxes. The IRS can't set a fair price for a painting after all.

"Today, the liveliness of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki serves as a reminder not only of the human ability to regenerate, but also of the extent to which fear and misinformation can lead to incorrect expectations. After the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, many thought that any city targeted by an atomic weapon would become a nuclear wasteland. While the immediate aftermath of the atomic bombings was horrendous and nightmarish, with innumerable casualties, the populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not allow their cities to become the sort of wasteland that some thought was inevitable. This experience of can serve as lesson in the present when much of the public and even some governments have reacted radically to the accident in Fukushima--in the midst of tragedy, there remains hope for the future."

That works, but I think to get at what people mean (pro or against) when they say capitalism, you have to define it in a way that speaks to the economic "system" in practice, not just the rules governing it.

Joint-stock and separation of capital & ownership. These need to be the dominant structure in an economy, for the economy to "count" as capitalism. IMO, this is a lot closer to Marx' "mode of production" definition (he also saw it as a progressive step up from feudalism) that the "capitalism as an ideology" definition of Neo/Classical/Anglo-liberalism. So... your defining mechanism may have existed at point A but I don't count that as capitalism until that mechanism runs a significant portion of industrial output. ...Also you need to consider all the clearly non-capitalist mechanisms that separate "ownership" from management, like the Byzantine/Ossoman system for example.

The "ideological" definition just makes a lot more sense in a small firms world, where you really are talking about freely transacting individuals.

The private property point is also worth delving into. No one is a feudalist anymore, so no one defends it. But, I think it's worth comparing and contrasting to this (much more long lived) ideological and practical mode of society. It's the one part of the definition both that marxists and capitalists emphasize is a defining feature of "Capitalism." The private property point made by marx is a pretty obscure 175 years later as we lost context. He considered feudal rights and borouise property to be very distinct from each other.

Under most well functioning feudal systems in their prime, there were "welfare-ish" obligations (and obligations generally) of lords to serfs. Emergency grain stores, for example. A lord was expected to house and feed his subjects. These obligations don't come with modern property rights. In fact, there is barely a concept of obligations that come with property or rights anymore.
Robert Cialdini's book Influence seems to be a pretty good place to get started with this topic. He cites a lot of scientific studies, and also provides some anecdotal examples to keep things interesting.
