>But not so much for a tiny subset with high earnings and particularly complex affairs.

I think this is where I think we're talking about different things.

It does not only affect people with high earnings. It affects all US citizens working abroad - including those who didn't exactly choose to live abroad.

Again, I'm not talking only about double taxation. I'm talking about the need to file (which is true even if you earn $20K/year in a Latin American or Asian country). In my other comment to you I gave examples of fairly ordinary people in other countries who will be considered as US citizens under current tax laws who are legally bound by the US to do all that paperwork every year. As someone else pointed out, if your income is over $11K/year, you have to file. Run a small store that barely pays the bills? You have to file. Do some stock transactions and gain/lose money? You have to file.

Just think of everything you have to include in your tax form (if you are in the US). Then think of all the tax docs you receive annually. You need to create all those tax docs yourself - including the ones you don't include with your return (in the US, the agency that issued the document already reported that info to the IRS). I got all these docs from various agencies even as a low earner in the US - this is definitely not about high earners.

IIRC they've been talking about the potential of "packaging" up the individuals since they first found them. Packaging being giving them an air tank, face mask, and making them neutrally buoyant them so the experienced divers can push and pull them along the tunnels.

This seems like the implementation of that plan?
I went down the rabbit hole hard on this YouTube channel, great content.
"I know a lot of people who make minimum wage (e.g. fast food jobs). When minimum wages rise (like when they got to 7.25 in the US), they don't get fired, they get a raise."

This reminds me of someone who once argued that schools cannot reduce their costs when the number of students that need educating declines, because e.g. you can't stop renting a building just because there are 10% fewer occupants.

Is there a flaw in this sort of logic?
I think the same but looking at all his very public "Tweeting" I can certainly understand if someone was to crticise. I'm not sure the tweeting has made his plans any more effective.
The bailout should not have happened perhaps. Banks have trapped us into the too big to fail, we are above the law.

Think it like this: You have a sibling that is a bad gambler. They play roulette and lose big as expected and drive the whole families finances to the bottom. They then go to your parents complain that roulette is bad and ask your parents to bail them out. Your parents instead of punishing your sibling and make them repay the debt, say that it is fine please don't do it again and we don't want you to declare bankruptcy, but we will have your brother/sister (that is you) pay the bills.
This probably includes more than just office jobs.

this is more like a guide to first principles web design -- giving it a name like brutalist web design is really needlessly complicating things. this is all great but what would be even better is if we could get some brutalist web browsers and some brutalist application layer protocols.

html, javascript and css are terrible for 90 percent of the content that they are used to convey. they are bloated, too complicated, too open-ended and open the way for many security problems. also their complicated nature, mainly javascipt, makes implementing browsers too difficult which results in the current situation where there are only two browsers and neither is a reflection of what users want.

for 90 percent of content on the web, we don't need a turing complete programming language or the infinite variability that is afforded by html and css. we need an application layer protocol that is designed around the discreet use-cases that have emerged now that the web is mature. once we have that we can have better browsers that benefit from competition. and once we have all that, brutalist web design might not be a waste of time.

Pods are onsite and rescue operation has started according to news conference #thailandcaverescue
When something takes this long (26 years so far) to put into service, it's already obsolete before it gets used.

A bit like flying a Sopwith Camel (1916) against a Fock-Wulf 190 (1941).
Okay, but it's never been shown to be a problem in any meaningful way. Didn't Trump form a commission to investigate this after the election and then quietly dissolve it after they found nothing? Even the exaggerated reports I've seen from right-wing publications hyping up the threat of 'illegals voting' (ie. Heritage Foundation) detail absolutely paltry numbers of voter fraud(and there really aren't very many reports at all). And of the voter fraud they do detail, a very very small proportion is actually 'voter impersonation'.

I'd really love to see any evidence at all to the contrary.
I'd imagine two or even four divers taking each kid in between them. I assume there's a line, so no one is navigating and the route is fully supplied with any additional air needed. People go on intro dives all the time where an instructor does everything. Obviously the element of the long and narrow passages makes things a lot more difficult but it's doable. You just take your time. This completely unknown new technology seems riskier to me... Full face dive masks take most of the "tricky" don't breath in through the nose out of the equation. I'm a sport diver.

That said, there's always some people who "lose it" during a dive course or even newly certified divers. Though I've yet to hear of anyone who decides to stop breathing air and opt for water, usually they bolt to the top, which isn't an option here. That risk can be mitigated by doing "pool" dives right where the kid are and perhaps short stays in the adjacent cave areas. Maybe some relaxing music can be played as well... Another possibility is adding some "rest stop" by creating air pockets along the way.
Are you implying the 50 year old should be allowed to work more because they need money more, or the 20 year old should be allowed to work more because they are more capable of working long hours? Why not both? But then why are you juxtaposing the two?
Serious question: Why not eat the grapefruit and/or orange? That seems like less work, more food, and healthier (and personally I think it tastes better, but YMMV).
Disproportionately is a function of a fact, it's not moral or ethical, it's a statement. I feel bad that you are personally offended by facts.

You keep talking globally without the valid counterpoint. You're mixing American taxation with global outcomes and saying because we have it better off it's not wrong. That's the functional equivalent of telling a person on a sinking ship that they should feel lucky they aren't drowning while you pass by on your yacht. You can always find someone worse off, but wouldn't it be more productive to build the pie by bringing up the bottom rather than pulling up the ladder behind you.

You again don't seem to understand facts. It's simple numbers. If money keeps pooling at the top democracy doesn't function, it functionally can't because of the power imbalance and we've seen it more than once in the United States.

Since you're asking personally questions I donate large amounts of my personal money because I know my station and came up from poverty, but my lack of hypocrisy isn't the point. The point isn't how much you give it's how much you have left after you've given. The United States is one of the most charitable countries in the world, however that means absolutely nothing because as stated prior, the people at the bottom no longer have the funds to go to the hospital. You seem to be woefully unaware of the reality in the United States, many Americans literally cannot or will not go to the hospital or an emergency room due to cost and a not insignificant percentage of those people either die or end up worse off because of it. Right now in the United States we have literally entire towns and cities that do not have access to clean, safe water, much less electricity and running sewage. Add to that infant mortality rates in the United States are worse than most other developed countries, economic mobility is currently anemic in either direction and has been since Ronald Reagan and nearly half Americans are one or two months away from a foreclosure and homelessness. Just what wonderland do you think most Americans are living in?

It’s unfortunate. Big companies are pushing for OAuth 2.0 and trying to blindsided people as if it is an upgrade to OAuth 1.0a. It is not. OAuth 1.0a provides authenticity, integrity, and non-repudiation. Something that OAuth 2.0 does not provide.
Fair use is a positive right - it's a right given to individuals by the same Act in which copyright is created.

It's not that rich people are evil. Rich people control the systems by which money is made and logically reserve as large a portion of that pie as they can for themselves. The problem is that as a group they have made it so that there is not enough at the bottom and policy needs to be changed to reflect that. It's like saying you have a group of two people in a room with a pump that keeps giving them air, but the pump is fed by a room full of 50 people who keep having a dwindling supply of air to breathe. The only thing keeping those two rooms apart is an unlocked door. At some point either the people with all the air share it, or the people in the room without it will open the door by force. It's just a statement of human nature. Imbalanced systems have a way of achieving balance.

If the passages are narrow, why is an inflatable pod a preferred solution to a face mask? I'd imagine it would be at risk of puncture.
No, that's not my idea. They would be silly to ignore what they know to be true. But they might be open to hearing about new/prototype technology they do not know about. And conditions/local knowledge could be shared. Lastly I have been involved with emergency humanitarian crises where the national team did not have access to information they needed. Agree, you don't want every thought bubble funnelled into an overwhelmed operations centre. Perhaps a gated entry into the system based on expertise through snowballed invitations could optimise input. Again, maybe the cave rescue is not the greatest application, but there is a great need for better expert elicitation systems.
It's somewhat interesting how much attention these kids have received, meanwhile how many kids have died worldwide from hunger, disease, and warfare since June 23rd? Probably a bit more than 12. I guess that's not as exciting to read about though.
Breaking the back button is an unfortunate consequence of SPA (single page application) frameworks like React. You'd be amazed at just how easy it is to do. Put a junior on a feature and unless there's process in place to look for back button breakage, it can easily find its way into production. Even if you have QA resources, browser history management is not going to be within their wheelhouse so all they can do is note that it's happening and maybe they can give you a rough idea of which feature caused it.

Essentially, SPA architecture replace page loads with changing the DOM directly. Changes to the DOM don't change browser history unless you tell it to. Breakage can happen in two ways. First you can change things without updating browser history, or you can make changes that update history without actually changing the page. Both break the natural flow of the back and forward buttons.

The easy answer is to tell devs to just make new page loads when necessary, but apps can complicate to the point where page loads mean a great deal of reloading stuff. Then the next answer given to devs is to not load lots of stuff, but loading lots of stuff is often dictated by business needs and is over the devs' heads. Good luck moralizing on business people.

Once I saw how often such breakage slipped into the web app that I work on, I got a lot more patient with other websites. It's actually a really hard problem that I'd put right up there with cache invalidation and naming things. There's no established doctrine for browser history management.

"Also by making that distinction btw 'jewish' and 'white' culture you're very plainly showing where you're coming from."

You are talking about a genetic reality, Jews are different than most europeans because they partly originate in the middle east and were largely genetically isolated. If you believe in evolution that means they also evolved a different brain structure. They claim to be white when it is convenient.

Yes they are. The definition of empirical is that you can observe the evidence. This is easily observable.

> "Apps like this" on Windows/Linux

It's called Google. The same thing I use to find iOS apps because Apples app store search and recommendations are horrible. None of the app store searches are really any good and I'm pretty sure Google is the number one place that people usually search for things. I don't know anybody who opens up their app store to search for an app.

Anyway, argue all you want - you're wrong. People care about updates that mess up their stuff whether you can bring yourself to acknowledge that or not.

I agree 100%, it's a pretty crappy form of deflection. At the very least, they could at least outline their reasoning for it rather than throwing in a glib comment.
You'd consume your air much faster if your pulse was racing but other than that it shouldn't be a problem. If you're scared of closed spaces you might panic but other than that diving is a pretty calming experience for most adults. Sure, if you were diving by yourself in that cave and got lost you'd probably panic but if there's a solid plan/route in place with plenty of margin it shouldn't be that risky. Water temperature and depth seem favourable, there are plenty of open areas on the way. I was really surprised to hear about that diver death, someone must have been taking some unnecessary risks or not paying attention/following procedures. I think only a fraction of the route actually requires diving.
There's less oxygen available with a face mask. It should also be noted that NASA has an inflatable module that's being tested against space, but I don't know if there's any similarity here.

Mainly I've got multiple browser windows open with way too many tabs. I use a plugin to prevent them all from being actively loaded, but still have a ton active at any one time.

I also usually have one or more Excel windows open for data analysis, possibly Powerpoint or Keynote, and then some other lightweight stuff (Spotify, Sublime, etc.).

I also am most frequently using this across two 27" Thunderbolt displays (and if I'm desperate for a 3rd, I can open the MBA screen in addition).

The bulk of my high school peers couldn't afford to go to college, the ones that could were on full ride athletic scholarships. This wasn't recent and it was harder to get in to colleges at the time, and Google wasn't as useful as it is today but thanks for the assumption. Ironically the State University was actually more expensive than where I ended up (and still is pretty expensive). I eventually ended up joining the military and after I was discharged getting a couple of degrees from a school a few towns over that I didn't even knew existed.
I'm hearing news that that the rescue is about to begin, they aren't going to wait for any new equipment.

"Rescue crews: the 12 boys + coach each have a dive mask connecting with an air line to their escort/diver. The diver has the oxygen tank/regulator. So, the boys are not SCUBAing, per se. Also, each boy will have physical contact with their rescuer throughout."

https://twitter.com/DavidShuster/status/1015789259649937409
The repeated stories so far have suggested that there's a passage that's too narrow for both a tank and person to fit through at the same time.
Hmmm, well I'd say that beyond a very superficial comparison with "keyboards" from 200 years ago (if there even were such a thing), modern keyboards have changed a lot and for good reason.
