Am currently living in the European Stag Party Capital :-/ Unlike Venice, it is landlocked, and also a normal city. 1. wouldn't work, unless you can strictly and correctly separate people into tourist/local bins. This might be possible for Venice, as it has natural barriers. Not here - the only way this would work is to kill the old city and make it into a disneyified taxidermist exhibit of itself (which is also happening, "naturally"). 2. is perhaps the only way out, but it takes time.
> I'm 100% serious about this, and it makes me sad and angry nobody is actually really talking about this.

Well in some parts of the world people are already having less children. Even in Africa and Asia the birth rates are going down as people (women in particular) receive higher levels of education. So much so that in a few European nations the governments are actively encouraging couples to have more children. The most recent one I heard of is Hungary. I think the same is happening in some of the Scandinavian countries. In the far east (Korea if I'm not mistaken) there are even university courses on dating. In some of these places (Hungary in particular) the preferred approach is increase the birth rate as opposed to encouraging immigration to the country.

Apple Is Reportedly Developing a 31.6-Inch 6K Display for Sale Later This Year
Now, my account becomes a zombie, can't be used, can't be deleted, and has lots of personal information. All thanks to the falsehoods Facebook programmers believed about phone numbers, and its non-existent "customer [0]" service.

I think it's naive to think that this wasn't decided at the product level. This exact scenario was discussed, along with many others like it, and this is how they decided to handle it. "So they'll have a profile up with their personal information, maybe some embarrassing stuff they posted in college, and now they're adult and looking for a job and it'll be up forever looking like they intentionally left it that way?" "Yes." "Okay." "It's fine." "I mean...." "Do you have a solution that doesn't cost money?" "No, but...." "So you want to propose we spend money fixing this?" "...." "Okay, so we're agreed that this is fine. Moving on."
No one is saying that money is being produced out of thin air.

Think of it this way. Walmart doesn't pay some of their employees enough to survive, so those employees get food stamps. Walmart makes enough profits to pay those people the equivalent value in food stamps, but they don't. It can be said that the government is giving Walmart some amount of money because Walmart's profits are higher because of the food stamp expenditure.

The federal government is not sending money to Walmart via a bank transfer, but there is an exchange of money taking place.

Now think about this in terms of city services. Twenty five thousand employees would not pay enough taxes to make up for what they use in city services combined with what the organization uses. Certainly not 3 billion dollars worth. In that sense, the 3 billion dollars could be seen as NY basically paying Amazon to give 25K professional class people jobs. There are other social side effects that are hard to assign a dollar value to.

Does that make more sense? No one is saying that money would come from no where. It helps if you assume for a moment that your ideological opponents are actually smart people who aren't just deluded, but that they have an interest that is actually in opposition to "your side".
Though I obviously don't know exactly what OP meant, but maybe there is a difference between simply looking at Norway as a pretty close to utopia versus doing that from scratch in one step, skipping the organic "annealing" of culture and politics.

Simply having a few determined goals means the design necessarily have to be biased against the unmentioned goals. And those might be important for the general state, but it can be a hidden preference.

The draft spec available in the confluence wiki says the following:

>TODO: Consider using more secure lookup mechanisms for encryption keys. Also check for existing encryption keys before auto-generating a new encryption key set.
Since that didn't happen with Facebook, Google or Amazon, why would you think it would happen with WeWork?

Reading their docs, it seems like this uses Trust-on-first-use key exchange, so if there's an attacker passively observing the network at that point, they can MITM all future communications.

Also, the Autocrypt Level 1 spec, which this seems to implement, appears to be based on PGP, with the following caveat: "Sometimes Autocrypt recommends to send cleartext mail even though encryption appears technically possible."
What Is Your Job Here?
But this is a failure on Googles part to not have a streamlined api for detecting external devices, a feature which is becoming more and more popular with smart devices. Apple has protocols like WAC that you can conform to and be visible to an iOS user without anything special. Inside your app you hand off control to the user to identify and pair that device so that you as a developer don't need special permissions and custom code to link things up.

Our iOS app is able to run without any special prompts for the user on first run, whereas our Android app has to ask for location services with lengthy explanations before they can get past the first screen.
Presumably without the politics and bullshit you get in a corporation.

> Obviously XSF contributed XMPP to the IETF after 10 years or so

The first RFC was approved in 2004, after 5 years of XMPP development. The last RFC from XMPP WG is from 2015.

> perhaps we'll end up contributing Matrix to IETF or W3C or whoever too if they'll have it

So it's planned (TM).

> I wonder if the XMPP community would spend less time constantly complaining about Matrix if they understood what it was :/

I wonder if Matrix community would stop spreading misinformation about the purpose of their protocol.

> The innovative bit of Matrix is that it's a replicated database of objects (events), similar to Git, but designed for syncing conversation history around in realtime. The events for a given room get replicated over all the participating nodes. There is no central server responsible for coordinating the room; instead all the participating ones do so equally. It's impossible to communicate with someone on a different node without effectively giving them a lazy-loaded HA replica of the room. Architecturally this is about as opposite of MUC (or MIX or FMUC or DMUC or whatever) as I can think of.

Given how bad your Synapse at this task you guys have failed miserably. But of course Dendrite is planned (TM) to resolve this.
This is not true, and the headlines are not misrepresentations.

This is not an authoritarian move by the EU.

It's actually quite fair, or a reasonable premise to posit that neither you nor Google have the right to publish copyrighted material.

They are enacting laws for basic copyright protections - which seem wild only due to the fact that the web has been a 'wild west' since inception and it's what we are used to.

I'm against this law, but there are very real arguments for this.

The arguments against the law are actually more pragmatic than anything, i.e. small sites will have trouble complying and it could make information more difficult to access.

The headline is fine.

Soliciting advice and feedback from different sources, and then synthesizing and sifting through that sometimes conflicting feedback to make your own conclusions, is a very common and useful "business" skill

It's how investors do technical diligence, it's how executives of large companies make decisions, it's a part of the peer review process in science.

Advisors don't exist to tell you how to do your job. If that was the case they'd be your boss, not your advisor. They are there to help you see the full picture, and assess different perspectives, and challenge your thinking. But ultimately you make the call
This can be tough (but also awesome), whatever you do make sure communication is clear and there is a written contract in place. Some companies will place claim on your invention saying you developed it while you were an employee and so they own it. Depending on your employment agreement and the Country & State you reside the success of this will depend. But that doesn't stop them from trying to bully you, so just be cautious.

They may be good people and have no mal intent, but you just need to make sure you do everything in clear, open communication and in writing for everyone. And when you talk to them about it just say that, you are just trying to make sure everything is spelled out and clear so there are no misunderstandings because you enjoy your work and you love your side project as well. Good people will be good with that, weasels will get weasely.

You haven't yet proposed any alternative reality that differs from what you call fallacies. You've nit-picked a few misstatements and cited the benefits of general infrastructure and advocated increased taxes on capital gains, which I haven't argued against.

>> they have the resources, techniques, and equipment needed to produce more than our ancestors could.

> Did it ever occur to you that people might be more productive because of advances in knowledge, which are independent of capital?

This is known as "knowledge capital". See, for example https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/knowledge-capital-nations

For other forms of non-privately owned capital and their effect on productivity and growth, see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_capital

> There's no reason arbitrage, rent seeking, and flat-out betting should be taxed more favorably than making stuff.

Agreed. Rent-seeking is harmful, speculation is likely harmful, and though arbitrage may be helpful, I doubt it's valuable enough to justify preferential treatment.

I said above "Maybe [capital gains] should not be taxed as much as labor. Maybe more. Maybe less. It's not immediately obvious that either should be taxed more." And I believe that applies even on applications of capital that are beneficial.

I do think the incentive structure of income and capital gains taxes is inferior to consumption taxes, but that's probably a different debate.

> > Like when FDR banned Ford

> Yeah, like decades after Ford had already become a tycoon, and had no effect on whether he remained one. Exactly like that, except not at all.

It was a mildly humorous aside, showing that Ford faced definite government discrimination, regardless of any unspecified government support he received. (I'd be interested if you know of any specific government assistance to Ford during Henry's lifetime that wasn't general infrastructure available to everyone).

I'm quite satisfied with the conclusion we reached a few posts above:

"I have no problem at all with people getting just as rich as they want through fair trade. What I do have a problem with is whole dynasties persisting because of corruption, privilege, and ignored externalities."

And my addendum: "I'd also suggest that a huge fortune should only be earned by actually improving wealth for others, not through coercion, rent-seeking via government power, etc. "

I'll let you have the last word.

> My next problem is with theft.

Piracy is not theft. And we can't have it both ways. It's either centralization with censorship and all kinds of enforcement of rules or decentralization with resistance to censorship and piracy.
It absolutely is the job of the government to regulate interactions between its citizens. That's literally why people let them exist. We're arguing here about extent of that regulation.

No sane government will prevent you from generally moving around. But try to run around the town naked, and see how long it'll take before you get in trouble. Being naked is a form of expression too - one that's almost universally frowned upon when not confined to private spaces in presence of adults only.

(Also, no reasonable government is tone-policing discourse in general. Some governments choose to demand respectful behavior towards the institution of government, including in particular towards officials while holding office. That's a far cry from being oppressive or constraining the marketplace of ideas.)

Even though you are correct, this issue is still not a matter of free speech.

We've had copyright protections for some time, they're now being enforced.

Increasing the pool of generalizations would certainly help. So would keeping this fundamental problem in front of mind.

My kid was an outlier because my genetics tend to being tall and thin. If he was being measured against a set of healthy people with similar genetics he would not be considered an outlier - but this calculus is not considered when he is measured and judged aberrant. Our doctor being Indian was able to see from her experience that he was "normal" - for a kid with an Indian parent. Another doctor (like all the ones I grew up with) might not have the same insight and conclude there is a problem.
>Blaming Westerners is like blaming a child for their parent's bad spending habits...

I'd amend that a bit and say, "Blaming [poor] Westerners is like blaming a child for their parent's bad spending habits...".

Wealthy westerners and their policy decisions, as you rightly point out, are largely responsible for the current state of affairs vis-à-vis the economy.
How do the wooden buildings fare in towns consumed by forest fires? What about the steel, concrete and masonry buildings?

I wager that if we built forest like structures out of steel and concrete they'd be far more fire resistant than natural, wooden, forests even if the amount of fuel at ground and canopy level was kept constant.

This whole wooden building thing is great for a variety of reasons. That doesn't mean it's not inferior to steel/concrete when it comes to resisting a major fire. Just because it's inferior doesn't mean it can't still be "good enough". Trying to claim that a wooden structure has superior fire resistance to a steel/concrete/masonry structure is an exercise in mental gymnastics.

We've had several patients come in to speak saying they only heard about CGP after getting a second or third opinion - otherwise they would have tried chemo and that was it.

Non-discretionary spending is mandatory spending, aka entitlement spending. Implied in the name 'non-discretionary' is that you can't just cut it without major entitlement reform.

The point of the article is that without that entitlement reform it's very hard to balance the budget, even with 100% taxes on the 1%.
