> You could make the same argument about buying into a mutual fund, yet mutual funds have to distribute capital gains every year.

This is sort of true, but no longer completely true -- because of ETFs. For example, Vanguard uses ETFs that connect with their Mutual Funds in such a way that it has virtually eliminated capital gains distributions on the majority of its index mutual funds. They are now taxed more similarly to ETFs.

> Similarly, if I tried to re-create an index in my own account with individual stocks, I would end up incurring cap gains as I had to add and remove stocks when the index changes.

However, if you did this with your own stocks, you could also take capital losses, which mutual funds cannot do (they cannot distribute capital losses to you), and you could also just decide to hold onto the individual stocks indefinitely. At a small percentage of your portfolio, it would probably not significantly effect performance (some evidence even suggests that stock portfolios that never sold stocks when dropped from the indexes even outperformed the indexes!).

Even worse, in a mutual fund, you can actually buy into already existing capital gains that you never even profited from. For instance, if a mutual fund had a lot of gains in 2017, you buy in at the end of 2017, and then the mutual fund realizes those gains, you would receive those distributions and pay taxes, which seems pretty unfair to pay capital gains taxes on.

There's a lot of nuance and oddities in how all of these taxes work, but it certainly seems far from clear that the way ETFs "dodge" (defer) capital gains taxes until you sell the asset is unfair. To me, mutual funds seem to be the weird tax structure, not ETFs, which at least have a clear and predictable capital gains cost (your sale price minus your purchase price).

My idea is to build a digital giving economy. You get to keep 100% of everything given to you through the site. If successful, you can retire comfortably with little money while being held by the giving community and go forward in a life of service, if you so choose.

Rationally, shouldn’t we feel safer if it’s patched twice? Seems like it’s irrational to prefer a state where it was patched once over one where it was patched twice. It would seem to indicate that they dedicated time and resources to resolve it once then did proper follow up to catch missed cases. It certainly points to it being a pernicious issue but I’m can’t see why you’d presume it’s worse that it’s been patched more.
Out of curiosity, where do you work (assuming you're comfortable saying)?
>The problem is that the more established scientists can play politics

One of my favorite examples of how religiously dogmatic scientists can be about existing theory is centered around the discovery of quasicrystals.

Daniel Shechtman won the Nobel prize for discovering a form of crystals that formed regular non-repeating patterns like Penrose tiles or the tiles used on some Mosques.

As evidence, he had electron microscope images of the materiel, very clearly proving the veracity of his discovery, yet double Nobel laureate Linus Pauling took particular pleasure in making his life a living hell, declaring that "there is no such thing as quasicrystals, only quasiscientists".

>In an interview this year with the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, Shechtman said: "People just laughed at me." He recalled how Linus Pauling, a colossus of science and a double Nobel laureate, mounted a frightening "crusade" against him. After telling Shechtman to go back and read a crystallography textbook, the head of his research group asked him to leave for "bringing disgrace" on the team.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2011/oct/05/nobel-prize-...

You would think that scientists would be willing to accept physical evidence even if it isn't covered by existing theory, but sadly, they are perfectly willing to reject it.
It is not an argument from authority. It's a statement of fact that both authors have published a very long body of work including very high-value contributions to science, and they are not suddenly incompetent idiots just because they've published a paper that a random guy on the interned perceives as being politically inconvenient.

And the OP quite literally argued the scientists who authored the paper should be forced out of their job just because they published an academic paper that he found to be politically inconvenient, which is sheer lunacy.

> It’s a tragedy that so many young Americans spend years stuffing their heads with hundreds of Chinese characters, gaining no usable proficiency, and then forgetting them all by the time they’re 25.

There are similar complaints about all kinds of languages, even when they're written in Latin script. (The proverbial "high school French" comes to mind.) I think Mair is mistaken about the characters being the culprit. Most people taking a language class are simply not invested enough to actually practice, and then they forget everything they did learn once they stop using the language.

While it's true that it would be unnecessary to learn the characters if Chinese were usually written in Pinyin, that's unfortunately not the case and so you'd better memorize them if you want to learn the language without remaining an analphabet.

It's also not like you need to know all that many characters right off the bat. The most common 300 make up about 80% of every text; you can get to that level in a month if you learn 10 new characters per day. Most of the effort is in learning words formed by combining those characters, just like learning any other language.
It's interesting what the sense of a direct translation of hikikomori implies. Original form is (if you have the font)

引き子守

The first two characters imply someone who is dragged along and the second two refer to a nursemaid suggesting nursemaid-ing someone who doesn't want to be here. Not in defense of any such defeatist behavior but there is the question of how (and possibly why) would you impose measures to counteract that mindset if individuals and their support context are comfortable with it?

"completely undocumented and has access to the memory, peripherals, network interface etc. "

They were documented in the sense Intel publicly advertised them for years under AMT and vPro as enterprise features. That's why all the discussions on HN about whether Intel had backdoors or weakened randomness were funny. While people were "countering misinformation" here, Intel was publicly advertising backdoors in their chips to ease the management burden. I mean, I guess you could call them front doors with the publicity.

The sneaky part was how they started including them in all chips without a way to (a) buy chips without them or (b) know for sure you could turn them off. I immediately suspected NSA paying them off given most of this started in Trusted Computing Group activities which included classified sessions with NSA. They were always a stakeholder in that stuff. AMD did it, too.

Our only hope for x86 now is the Chinese company that's sharing AMD's chips. They might make a chip with no U.S. backdoors: only Chinese backdoors. If you're worried about local government but not I.P. theft, then the Chinese backdoors won't be any threat to you. Problem solved if the computers get here with no interdiction. Gotta do shell games.
Netflix was hardly the first company to give unlimited vacations! I always have done that at my companies since 1989 and I learned it from someone else.
>>I can find some which claim to test the security of CEOs and celebrities. But I can't find anything for ordinary people.

Those are the services for "ordinary people". The thing is, they advertise to celebrities & CEOs because there aren't many people willing to pay for pentesting. That will always be an expensive service, since it by definition requires highly-skilled employees. A service that advertises to celebrities would almost certainly be willing to work with an ordinary individual, but how many people are willing to pay for the service? Certainly not enough for this to be a million-dollar idea.

It's only double taxation if you arbitrarily consider the transfer of the dividend from the company to yourself to be a non taxable event. Until that point the money isn't "yours" in the full normal sense. If I buy 1% of Exxon I don't have the legal right to extract 1% of its income.

Another argument for "double" taxation : corporations are artificial entities created by law with significant privileges, such as shielding owners from direct liability in most cases. That's a privilege society extends and it is arguable reasonable that it is subject to a different tax regime than capital which is owned directly by the individual.

That's very much facts and circumstances dependent. As an example, if we individually purchase the property and form a partnership with that property (rather than the cash), a subsequent distribution of that property is not federally taxable (pub 541). Similarly, ownership changes relating to a divorce are generally not currently taxable.

> It relates to economic models insofar as said models are used to justify the persistence of certain inequalities in society.

Not quite. Models only explain relationships between parameters.

Moreover, inequality is a meaningless concept that is the posterchild of how the goalpost is kept moving by populist politicians. It's meaningless in its definition, as it is kept very maleable to fit the argument, and it's meaningless in the conclusion, as there is no problem in having someome earning more than his neighbor.
Can you clarify how much equity you want. 80% sounds too high sorry but its not very clear.

I worked fast food jobs (non Chick-Fil-A) and the scheduling was a nightmare. It would change every single week, and I had one job with a manager that would make the schedule just a few days in advance, and wouldn't text out the schedules. Since she made them on the computer, I suggested she could just email it, and she said it would be "too hard".

sane scheduling would have been the no. 1 thing to improve that job.

For the same reason you pay income tax every year not just when you die. Taxes are designed to fund the government and also address inequality. You need to be taxed more frequently to address the inequality issue.
Okay, "total least squares" as in your [0]!!!! WOW!!! Back when I knew nothing of regression or curve fitting and was first considering the issue, the question I asked was, if we are trying to fit to the given data, why not have the line as close as possible to each of the points on the scatter diagram, just as in the quite good picture at [0]!! Gee, value of ignorance!!

Again I believe we are trying to make too much out of regression.

Or, maybe, if somehow we DO have causes, we really know they are the real causes, and we have some data, good data, and the data likely satisfies the usual assumptions as in the reference I gave to Rao, THEN, maybe, on a good day, with luck, do the regression calculations, t-tests, the F-ratio, get the confidence intervals on the coefficients and the predicted values, etc. and if all that looks solid, then take it seriously.

Here, however, KNOW the independent variables, all of them, KNOW that they are the causes, and don't need controls, etc. and are not fishing for the variables, we are not trying to have statistics tell us about causes, ..., then maybe okay.

But, sure, if there really are causes and if we really do have variables that do well measuring those causes, then maybe in the regression the variables that are candidates as causes will become fairly obvious.

I've run or helped manage several small businesses and watched folks move into middle age with them. Small businesses are hard and require an emotional detachment from pressure, long hours and risk.

The failures I saw left people in worse positions than being let go - they had to fully retool themselves and find a new career with little in savings. Those new careers ended up being stable, high paying, traditional jobs. The poor insurance situation (at the time) left otherwise functional families begging to help get kids through medical issues.
>This is so ridiculously untrue. There are so many businesses you can run that are almost impossible to fail.

What would those be, because from SV style startups (where the rate of fail is atrocious) to small businesses like funeral services, coffee shops and restaurants, most businesses fail.
Funny. When I get concerned about Western soft power that is currently very real, not just plausible, westerners are incredulous. Especially when it comes to space exploration you always hear the narrative as "humanity colonizing mars" when that's utterly not true. The west is colonizing Mars and if it goes well for them then that's another planet to add to their civilization. Have fun dealing with that.

"May the market penalize them in kind. "

Intel made innovative, security-enhanced CPU's such as i432 APX, i960, and Itanium. They lost billions as the market punished them for breaking backward compatibility among a few other things. Mainly backward compatibility with insecure architecture market depended on. Market also wanted chips to maximize speed per dollar which always trades against security. Market also rarely picks secure products over insecure products whenever offered a choice.

So, our current situation is the market's responsibility, not Intel's. The market punished Intel for trying to make better products. Say what you will about two, the i960MC was pretty nice design even if BiiN wasn't. A RISC chip with object-based protection and high availability should've taken off if market really cared about reliability and security. Instead, the market rewarded what met their price/performance (x86/POWER) or price/performance/watt (ARM or MIPS) punishing all else. They also built on it non-portably in a way that led to lock-in. Now, they're reaping what they sow with everything they've done up to this point making any investment in secure chips or OS's a risk not worth taking for most suppliers.

Good news is that all the recent bad news is encouraging some companies to try secure offerings again. Might get more buyers this time. Still high risk, though.

Honestly, it seems like you'd have to be very out of touch with reality to offer actual bribes to people or engage in obvious fraud.

It's just not necessary. When they still had a "writing" portion of the SAT, you could buy a 700-800 by writing an essay ahead of time and adapting it to the prompt. If you had the means to afford a 'test prep' service that would tell you that, you would be head-and-shoulders above the competition without blatantly breaking the law.

And that's just one example; the entire system is tilted to make sure that affluent kids get into good schools and stay there until they graduate. You might not get into your 'dream school', but you will get into a world-class institution and have countless barriers swept aside for you over the following several years. It will tear the child to shreds in adulthood once they realize what happened, but that doesn't seem to matter to most wealthy parents.

Plus, people entering their 20s don't usually know what will fulfill their lives, what they are good at, how they can contribute to others, their responsibilities as citizens, etc. I'd like to see a re-thinking of our entire educational system, with a focus on lifelong learning.
