> Soon, not only had the doctor risen to become the King’s most trusted advisor in the Danish court, he had also become Queen Caroline Matilda’s lover – which fast became common knowledge.

Perhaps if it had not become common knowledge it would have remained irrelevant. I think your argument has fallen flat and you should reconsider your opinion before further entrenching yourself.
So is the argument here that if a CEO is going to face a 70%, or really anything > 50%, after a certain amount they are just not going to pay themselves more and instead pay their workers more?

I could really only see that working if they simply eliminated the corporate tax and treaded all entities as pass through entities so it was taxed as OID. This is something I'm not actually opposed to as it would force entities to pay out cash to stock holders and they can use that money for other things vs. it being held on the balance sheet for a decade.

Also what happens if they just pay themselves more and accept the fact that the government takes 70%? Does the government redistribute that back via EITC or buy more hellfire missiles?
I have been in some open source communities where making money was a recurring problem for the main contributors. But money was never the reason why people started contributing code to the project.
Yes. Lurking around the app store of your device and installing random apps is a behavior for first-time users of the platform. Back during 2010 to 2015, almost everyone was a first-time user of the platform. From now on, downloading random apps is a job for ever younger audiences.
A huge problem for people with a mental health dx in their history is doctors reflexivity dismiss complaints as a 'mental issue'.
My comment was specifically pointing out that measuring inequality should not be based on how much one could potentially consume, but (obviously) the extreme power they derive from their wealth. GP did a good job at explaining how wealth can result in extreme domestic and international power (by using their wealth to impact/drive economic initiatives, etc).

So to tie it all together - if we believe in the American democratic project we are running, I deserve the same amount of domestic political power as any other civilian, not necessarily the same wealth. However, if wealth acts as a power multiplier (as we just discussed), than, naturally, wealth inequality results in democratic inequality and needs to be acknowledged in order for democracy to work.

Unrelated to my point, but in response to your question: Wealth (especially the wealth Bill Gates has acquired) comes from creating value for shareholders, not society. Do not conflate those two things.

Truth be told, a full blown mobile app isn't needed to tweak the UI or provide different views.
For various public package managers, there's tools that automatically send e.g. a GitHub PR for an updated dependency file when a dependency updates, which then is tested by CI. I guess something like that could be made for private repos and test versions of packages too, reporting back to the authors of the dependency.
I find it funny how the ethical side of those games is always conveniently ignored...
If that's true, and we stipulate that the two specific problems I called out are major contributes to the inefficiency of our system, you should easily be able to explain how switching to an alternate funding system would remediate them. Can you provide more detail?

There are also certain types of encryption at rest where it buys you absolutely nothing though, e.g. using AWS' builtin encryption at rest for S3. No one is going to break into the AWS datacenter and steal the data from the physical disks.
Which app are you using? There are quite a few on the Apple store.
I wonder if any of them have experimented with cold brew yet. Personally, my preference is Funranium Labs' (http://www.funraniumlabs.com) Black Blood of The Earth (BBoTE). The upside is that you don't need to carry around alot of apparatus: You can get a good Americano equivalent with 3:1 or 4:1 BBoTE to hot water. Or you can have it straight.

One downside is that it's supposed to be stored cold; but it can handle 2 days of room-temperature (considering how it is shipped), so maybe it's not too big of an issue. Another downside is most of the BBoTE offerings are single-origin, so things go out of stock from time to time, but there are some blends available: Death Wish is one, and the proprietor has been known to do custom batches of Dunkin Donuts and other blends.
I remember my son crying and telling me "but I miss it..." when I told him he couldn't watch that channel anymore. It's like a bunch of toy commercials, but I think kids also feel some connection to Ryan, which is what makes the channel work.
It's a little chilling, but I assumed the clip you linked was the one you did!

I believe it was in one of Henry Cloud's books on boundaries where I learned the idea that people roughly fit into three categories.

- they want to treat others well, and if you inform them of a boundary they've overstepped, they'll try to correct it

- they care about themselves within the framework of our society and laws, but are not keen on giving up anything for anyone else. If you want to enforce a boundary with them, you have to find a way to shift the consequences of their actions back onto them. Only if it hurts them, will they change their behavior

- they don't care about laws, society, decency, etc - you'll need guns and lawyers.

Right now it feels like many corporations are on a wide line between the second and third description above... what a sad realization!

I would consider myself to be an expert of sorts on AA. I was a member for over 20 years, attended at least 4000 meetings, have read everything ever published by AA World Services (and even held private study groups with folks to discuss these books). I served at every level except national.

I left AA when I became a christian 15 years ago. (Yes, I started AA young, as a teenager.)

All that is background for these strongly held opinions:

1. AA is decidedly not christian. If anything, it is a mere cult with some christian trappings and actually some occult underpinnings. No one ever heard the gospel at an AA meeting. It's not synonymous with christianity.

2. AA's recovery rate is abysmal, and actually less successful than just doing nothing about addiction. There is lots of room for providing much more effective help for people with addictions.

3. The practice of forcing people to attend AA meetings under court order should be stopped entirely.

I know that most here are likely not christian and some are openly hostile. That's a completely different discussion than helping addicts to recover.

A good resource for the many failings of AA can be found at the Orange Papers site. It seems the original site is down, but I believe someone has mirrored it elsewhere. Lots of info on the strange origins of AA there.

Actually, the ISS isn’t in “freefall” either. Further, there definitely is a normal force (inertia) opposing gravity too, otherwise without that (and the occasional thruster burns needed due to drag from the atmosphere), it wouldn’t “continually fall and then miss the ground” as it’s normally described in layman terms.

There’s plenty of sources to back up what I said previously and here, but this provides a great description of why it’s wrong to say the ISS is in freefall:

The actual point of a Level-2 system (other than as a safety measure, e.g. wrt emergency braking) is that it provides driver assistance for things other than having to pay attention to the road & surroundings at all times - and there are plenty of such things that can meaningfully impact driver's comfort. That's all there is to it. Don't think "Autopilot"; think "Fly-by-wire".

This is accurate. Holden Caufield is full of shit. He's a classic unreliable narrator, in a formal sense, but also in a deeper cultural one.

Every year hundreds of thousands of students are put off from this book by how much they dislike Caulfield. Too few of their teachers tell them "that's exactly the point, he's got his head up his ass but he's absolutely sure he's right about everything. One page he thinks X and he's contemptuous of all disagreement but ten pages later he's totally convinced of Not X. That's how most adults think of their teenage selves. Reflect on this."

People talk about it as a coming-of-age book, and in a sense it is, but it's a lot less like American Graffiti and a lot more like American Psycho.

I didn't downvote you, but interestingly when I first read your comment I had that negative reaction, then after seeing this response and rereading the comment I could see it as just neutral/analytical. For me at least, it's like a Laurel/Yanni in text sentiment.
4 years is a big lag if you're not doing safety critical work. If you are doing safety critical, 4 years isn't particularly fast, but it's not unreasonable. If you've never worked in aerospace or automotive, you would be shocked at the requirements for software and hardware that can kill people if it breaks (assuming that Tesla is following the automotive equivalent of DO-178/DO-254, ISO26262)... I guess the automotive guys do have an advantage because they're not required to have independence for the various stages of verification, but it's still a big chunk of work (more than the actual development).
I have more than substantiated my allegations and I would easily argue this goes beyond a second or third degree connection.
To have any chance of taking control of our collective carbon footprint we need to move away from technology like this not towards it.

> Medicare also overpays for care and responds to the same structural wackiness the rest of us deal with.

Medicare isn't a closed system, and isn't the majority of funding, so it has to deal with the structural results of the rest of the system, which is majority private pay (and heck, Medicare itself is a partially-subsidized private-insurance voucher system with a public option for it's core services, which exclude prescription drug coverage, which is provided through an optional partially-subsidized private voucher with no public option.)

Sometimes questions like that could actually be an attempt to be helpful.

This is my thinking, annoying as it can be-I understand and can appreciate this position. It's possibly a matter of how that help is intended to be delivered.

"Why do you need the files?"

versus

"Is there something about your last visit you have questions about/do you have a follow up question for your doctor?"

etc.

I mention this because when I was on hard times financially and fell behind on a few bills I found it quite invasive and annoying when I called, on my own initiative to make a payment only to be asked "Why were you late on this payment?" in a rather abrupt manner. My response has always been "Is this question required for you to process the payment?" to which "No but we have payment options and plans to help individuals who may have fallen on hard times".

Okay, that's fair. I'd be more receptive if that olive branch was offered more delicately than "Why were you late?" which is frankly none of the debtor's damn business.
I’m not worried about people signing up to beta test dangerous tech on themselves, I worry about bystanders who made no such choice.

Why do you feel compelled to defend Frost's "programming chops"?

Frost can publish his ideas about JavaScript being intimidating because the naming convention is camelCase and not kebab-case, and it's fair game for any other programmer to point out that Frost doesn't know what he's talking about.

Did you mean to say taxing wealth or taxing capital gains?

Taxing wealth (like real estate taxes) in essence means you never actually own anything, you’re just renting.

Taxing capital gains means that everything you ever own will also be taken from you in the form of taxes on inflated dollars.

The reason this website exists, and all the startups that have gone through YC, is because the tax on capital gains is low.

Preferential tax treatment of capital gains from small business investment is the reason we have venture capital. The risk adjusted returns are far too low otherwise. Note that Section 1202 provides the first $10million in gains entirely tax-free right now.

You can’t increase the tax rate and expect people to just make the same choices and end up with less to show for it. The more the government confiscates the upside, the less people will take the risk.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't see it that way. The point is that our senators and representatives really need to work together to end divisiveness. While that isn't currently happening, I see that as the problem rather than the way the system is laid out.
And you have to add: Don't build a heavy front-end application. Build a small server first and return HTML. Once you prove your product then use something like Jasonette to serialize your model into an app language if you want to, or stay with a website, why not?

Airline profits have been rising over the past several years or so[1] due to lack of competition after a long period of industry consolidation[2] and the rise of anti-consumer practices (extra fees, less leg room, etc). This occurring even during the period where oil prices were dropping to pretty steep lows[2]. There's plenty fat to trim, and suggestions that it has to be this way are unfounded[3]

> Last I checked insurance companies gave a discount for AP Tesla’s over non AP Tesla’s suggesting the opposite. Do you some support backing this up?

Insurance companies may do this because it is a strong signal the customer is gullible to questionable upsells. Maybe they've found that statistically they can sell them more things like overpriced umbrella insurance through direct mail marketing pack ins with their car insurance bill.

Thank you for the response - sincerely. I supposed it is unconventional.

I'm still struck by a few ideas. The first is that economic leveling needs to be done by force through the state. The second being that any new program needs to be funded by the wealthy - also by force of the state.

I would think using incentives would be the better approach? For example, let corporations repatriate overseas cash with a lower penalty and use that money to fund green R&D
The current system is a check that prevents individual states from dominating legislation in Congress. Why would anyone want that except for the very populous states?

The top 6 states (California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois & Pennsylvania effectively tied) have almost half the population and thus could dominate Congress without input from the other 44 states.

The author comes from Pennsylvania, and so this article should be seen as nothing but self-serving.

But a poll of equal number of citizens from each state would never approve such a measure.

In order for that to work in the way I am imagining, it would be necessary for the SSID to be available and correlated to access point's IP address. While this could be performed by wardriving open WIFI networks, it would be harder to gather this on a protected network.

Again, I'm not an expert here, and would be happy to learn more about whether this sort of data collection is possible.

edit: this is quite an interesting rabbit-hole I've stumbled into. It seems that there are databases correlating SSID to location, but aren't collecting IP addresses of those networks:
