When doing this sort of calculations, you have to take into account that you're taxing THE WHOLE population: completely destitute people, people near the poverty line, children who ear exactly $0, etc. For some of these poeple, $40 can be way too much. In practice, if you tax a child that doesn't earn an income, you're taxing the parents. Of course it's possible that on average you can tax $40 from each person, but that might require taxing $400 from some people and $0 from other people.

That said, there might be better ways of spending that money than on this.

I think your sentence works better without "solely".

The reality is that we make choices to simultaneously maximize a variety of internal and external incentives. Personal interests are one, so is money, and social prestige is one too.

Left-brained tech nerd folks tend to look down on the last one because it isn't "rational" or something, but prestige is an important part of life. One, for most people, it makes them feel good. Ultimately, that's a major goal of life. Two, prestige can directly translate to social capital, which can materially affect you. If you make a stronger impression on someone because you "work at Google" and that leads to them remembering you better and thinking of you later when an opportunity comes up, that actually matters.

There's nothing wrong with having the social side of your identity be part of the goals of your life. The risk is when you over-focus on it to the expense of everything else, because then you lose agency. We don't control which things are considered prestigious, so if we aim too much for prestige then we're basically letting the crowd make our decisions for us.
I didn't say domestication was the same as non-violent or "tame" or civilized. I didn't even mention the word.

My point is that humans were tamed through brutality and force and bread and circuses. And just like you little dog, when we run out of bread and circuses or an authority, we are capable of being violent again.

It seems like you want to disagree with me but everything you wrote agrees with me so I'm not sure how to respond.
The narrative of this article is that:

* Germany attacked and French mostly surrendered after only one month of war.

* French troops were saved in Dunkirk.

* Civil servants draft a plan to unite England and France. Jean Monnet -the father of Europe- was there.

* Petain rejected the plan.

* This is somehow linked to the Brexit.

________________________________

I think it is not very accurate.

* Jean Monnet, an arms dealer who had lived in USA since 1925, hated De Gaulle. This is manifest from the first days of WWII where Monnet warned USA against De Gaulle.

* At Dunkirk, French troops protected Britain troop when they embarked, then had to face the Germans. Little French troops had the chance to leave and the Britain did not help.

* In July 1940 the UK killed 1297 French servicemen without real motive (see Attack on Mers-el-Kébir).

* Jean Monnet is perhaps now seen as the father of Europe but he was an agent of USA and a secretary of Roosevelt from July 1940. Even before becoming the first CEO of the CECA, he nearly restarted alone a war between France and Germany in 1945 with a plan to steal Germany from its rich western areas and give them to France. Google "Theory of l'Engrenage"

* You can add that there was probably an assassination attempt by the allies against De Gaulle on the 21 April 1943.

So it is not very surprising that De Gaulle did not liked "Les Anglo-Saxons".

But I do not think all this stuff has anything to do with the Brexit.

That's a good point and I would like to read a good risk analysis. The problem is that when large companies are involved, you get very superficial risk analysis. Something analogous to:

"The worst thing that could happen if I put my money in a bank is they take all my money. So, we shouldn't put money in banks."

If you point out that this generally doesn't happen people will talk about what the company could do.

How do we get beyond fully general arguments that you can never trust any company to do anything (or alternatively that theoretical risks don't matter)? I guess to really understand the risk you'd have to understand a company's internal controls, and those generally aren't public.
The best way to measure end-to-end latency is an Arduino with a light sensor, with the Arduino programatically injecting USB events. I made an Amazon shopping list[1] a year ago. I hope to rework my code and post a blog soon.

I think that a free market would actually lead to steeply rising prices. It's a seller's market, especially for the popular titles. Occasionally you might see some price wars from publishers pushing others out of the market, but between those, the average book price is not going to go down.
What Android desperately needs is an additional API layer that provides apps like Google and others with fake location data and fake contact data so there's simply no way they can tell that you're holding information back. Turning off these data sources just makes them use dark patterns to get you to turn them back on; spoofing the data is the real solution.

SBCL mostly. I probably should give GCL a try here. SBCL is fast as hell once it starts up, and bare SBCL starts up quickly, but once you add Quicklisp and start loading external systems, the startup time gets noticeable - though again, this gets reduced quickly iff you dump a binary of your image with dependencies already loaded. The one CL script I wrote that I actually use[0] (for controlling Hue lamps) I have dumped into binary just to cut down startup time to below the point I notice.

>But that isn’t the fear in its entirety. Suppose a perceived violation of progressive orthodoxy translates into the kind of institutional cowardice on display in the forced resignation of Ian Buruma from The New York Review of Books. Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones in the United Kingdom, my literary agent, my publishers in translation, and ­HarperCollins worldwide would decide they could no longer afford association with a pariah. My current manuscript wouldn’t see print, nor would any future projects I’m foolish enough to bother to bash out. Journalistic opportunities would dry up. Yet what I most dread about this bleak scenario is my thirteen published titles suddenly becoming unavailable—both online (gosh, would piracy sites be morally fastidious, too?) and in shops.

McCarthyism never died, it just went moved leftwards.

Similarly to how the kind of puritanism and moral hysteria that got the Hayes code and "warning stickers" on CDs, thrives on under a progressive guise today.
Do people actually like SF? I try to avoid going there as much as possible. It's not even really a city, but more just a place where exurbanites congregate from 9 to 5 to conduct commerce. I've never encountered a more soulless, hollow, and overall depressing place in my entire life.
Historically, markets for media powered by mass media and technology tended to squash diversity from the Industrial Revolution up through the late 20th century. Now, networks and markets have produced a flowering of diversity, but often with lower profit potential, though individuals are often empowered to be in business for themselves, and a few still manage superstar status.

Markets tend to do both harm and good to culture, much as trade, migration, and wars have done both harm and good. Culture will always be market driven. However, there is definitely a place for culture outside of ordinary commerce.
After visiting there last year, I think this number is believable.
There's a solution to this problem: toll all roads. When a car drives on a road, it's monopolizing a small portion of public land. Why should we let the owner of that car do it for free? Charging a congestion-minimizing price will ensure that traffic flows smoothly and that we allocate road space to its most productive use.

>When you live by your public image, you die by your public image. Your rise likely happened in the same way as your downfall.

Not really, the rise usually happens after years, or even decades, of paying dues and hard work.

You don't build a career in anything, journalism, comedy, whatever, by just one gesture. At least most don't.

>You can't have your cake and eat it too, you can't reap the benefits of being a public figure but complain about the drawbacks.

First of all, this doesn't happen just to "public figures". A person can be fired from their non public job for saying something wrong on social media, without having ripped anything

Second, this doesn't make much sense anyway. One should be able to "reap the benefits of being a public figure" while still complaining about the drawbacks if the drawbacks are detrimental to society and kill public dialogue A actor, for example, can be a public figure without giving license to be stalked.

Public figure means their job is to make movies for public consumption, not that they have to suffer any BS paparazzi. There's no inherent tie between one and the other.

The suggestion to also "bend over and take the drawbacks" would only make sense if the "benefits of being a public figure" were obtained in a way that called for those drawbacks (e.g. celebrities being famous because they purposefully stir trouble and put on shows for the media).
I don't use a washing machine controller as a general purpose computing device. I don't install apps on a washing machine and would never buy one that had that feature. It's not a reasonable comparison.

Your source was a news article from Northeastern, not Northwestern, about a study.

Sorry but there is nothing noble or superior about buying and keeping DVDs. That’s just materialism.

I had a collection of 100 Blurays a few years ago. Eventually I sold everything when I realized that owning pieces of plastic that get dust on a shelf didn't bring me any joy. I enjoy movies at the theater or on Netflix as much as movies on physical support.

And movies are not going to "vanish" if you stop buying physical copies of them on Amazon. Conserving movies is the job of film archives. You probably have one in your country that offer screenings of old movies. Or arty/independent theaters that offer the same kind of content.
The literal translation is "drawn strip", which doesn't have the continued implication that everything in the media must be comedy that "comic book" does.

Americans seem to have mostly settled into accepting this contradiction, with some incredibly unfunny and serious stuff being published as "comics". There's also the term "graphic novel", which sometimes only applies to stories first published as a book , rather than a series of monthly pamphlets, and also still sometimes has people saying "are they full of explicit porn or something?" as a misinterpretation of the "graphic" part.
Amazon finally exceeded my tolerance for slimy behavior last year, and I let Prime lapse. The amount of time and energy they have put in to making it hard to compare prices in their own goddamn store was enough by itself; behavior like this is motor-oil icing on the garbage cake.

I had to readjust a few common purchases, but I was far less habituated to them than I thought I was. Having to actually pay attention and look meant I found cheaper options. And I never cared about Video or their other goofy add-ons.

Still handy for pricing data-points when buying elsewhere, though.
