Possibly yes.

While not a pure zero sum game, some parts of the economy are, notably the share between salaries and dividends in a company's profit. You can't raise one without decreasing the other. There is a point where too low dividends or two low salaries will endanger the company but also a wide range that is viable and where a pure zero sum game happens.

And while some amount of inequality is necessary to get a free market economy going, I have yet to see a compelling argument against a wealth cap or an income cap.

I am not advocating that, but as an extreme thought experiment, consider that confiscating the wealth of these 45 people would double the wealth of half the country. 45 people. I have a hard time imagining that the economic gain from these 45 people is on the same magnitude.

It sounds like you’re saying the Chinese government won’t intervene because the status quo is acceptable. But the Chinese government might not be the side to escalate. There’s a lot of protesters now and a lot of subfactions of the protesters. If this keeps up, the protesters might get organized enough for some faction to decide the right move is an escalation to violence.

IMO these situations are fundamentally unpredictable, and a violent outcome is quite possible.

e.g. for me I review my notes every Friday, I create a list of the important things to possibly do, then I group them by category and have a misc category, then I schedule time on my calendar for the next week according to those categories. and I also refresh/update my note inboxes each week.

Having my tasks/scheduling out tasks and work types has been game changing for me. I've been doing it for 12+ months now.

I work on a large, multi-platform, legacy codebase of C/C++ and Fortran, and the FFI between the two sides has always been an area where care must be taken to ensure proper interop.

Being multi-platform, multi-compiler through the years has helped us ferret out FFI problems like the one described here, as our Windows Fortran compiler used to be Compaq Visual Fortran, which interleaved character strings with their length argument (as opposed to gfortran, which puts all such string lengths at the very end of the argument list). With Compaq Visual Fortran (and Intel Fortran with the right options set), forgetting to specify a string length argument on the C side would almost invariably lead to immediate crashes (unless, of course, the sole string argument was at the end).

It’s sad to see Chinese censorship trickling into Western products. There were some Hearthstone tournaments recently where they wouldn’t refer to the country as “Taiwan”, and more and more games are banning phrases like “Tianenmen Square” that are banned in China.

Perhaps not now, but for much of the post-war boom most countries had very high top rates of tax: 90%+, sometimes 98%, including in the USA. Corporate taxes were much higher. We had the longest sustained period of growth in history. Obviously that's a progressive tax as only the very highest earners hit the top rates of tax. Many countries had full employment. Yet inequality was at some of the lowest levels ever recorded. Capitalism's golden age.

Business was doing just fine, and nations had enough income to provide generous and growing services. Wealthy people kept working. CEOs went to work quite happily. Wealth still concentrated at the top, just far, far less of it.

This only really broke with the arrival of the 73 oil crisis.

Seems like a return to something along those lines is long overdue to trim some of the excess greed.
Compare the number of propellers on NASA’s version. They have serious backup in the event any single engine fails.

Being able to take off with one engine that’s rapidly overheating, does not mean is safe to continue a flight with a single engine. Electric aircraft don’t get lighter in flight because they don’t burn fuel.
If the protesters do not give the mainland government a way to back down without saving face, then the mainland government simply cannot back down -- especially not during a trade war that is already hurting the government's image.

I suspect the most likely outcome, if the protests continue, will be the resignation of Carrie Lam followed by statements from Beijing about how she screwed up. They will want to pin the blame on her. If the protesters don't go home after that, the possibility of armed intervention will not seem so remote.
The opposite is true. The accelerated airflow over the body of the aircraft actually increases the drag whereas a pusher ingests the boundary layer from the fuselage and the suction also helps keep flow attached. The problem, however, is that turbine engines need a smooth airflow in order to operate efficiently, therefore they aren't suited for pushers as the wings (etc) produce an uneven airflow into the turbine core.

It is pretty annoying in a big company if every team uses totally different software to get their work done. It makes it a lot harder to build tools that help make your coworkers more productive. So it seems reasonable for companies to make decisions like “we use Box here, not Dropbox” and encourage employees to all go the same way.

Kind of like if a company ran 1000 MySQL instances and then a new engineer wanted to build a new service using Postgres because they were most familiar with it. Adding more different tools to the stack is technical debt.

"Quite weak in general."

It's not negligible for its weight. You can always scale up an electric motor. The largest machines in the world (such as bucket wheel excavators) are driven by electric motors. Additionally, electric motors are much simpler to cluster into a distributed propulsion configuration than jet turbines are. That's why NASA's building the X-57 electric aircraft.
No one who commented this far has read the article. Somehow this doesn’t surprise me, people only think of themselves.

The thesis is that to counter the effects of unemployment on mental health, you only need one days worth of work. As in, work is a psychological remedy for people who have not been able to contribute to society and have no place on the pecking order.

Giving the unemployed more work did little to improve their mental health much further. This article was not about your poor ass having too much work. And for some its even a status symbol to be so important that you are busy all the time.

No. This belongs in a journal dedicated to the field of study, not a general issue journal like Science.

Is this true in states where AFSPA applies?
Well, "nameplate" capacity is always the maximum theoretical output under ideal conditions, and how often does that happen? And with solar you have to deal with nighttime, so there goes fully half of it right off the bat!

As to that local installation, I drove by it the other day and saw no obvious tracking issues or anything like that. When I took a tour of it about a year after it opened, they said that it had already become obvious that the inverter system was going to be finicky and that it was going to an ongoing challenge to keep that in tip-top shape, given the expense involved. So after five years I could easily envision a situation where the panels and tracking system are still going strong, but the inverter system has degraded to the point where it can only spit out 60% max.

How can you have a wealth cap?

State you can't have more than X dollars in the bank. Okay, can I use my money to buy things (e.g. property)? Should you value my property at the market value as "dollars in the bank"? What if I buy my property and it appreciates, would it get confiscated? Would police come to my home and forcibly move me to a home below the cap?

Can I own or invest in a business? Do we mark that at "market value"? Who sets this market value? What happens if my business does well, too well in fact and now my market value is more than the allotted amount.

It's impractical and its not entirely clear what "million dollars in the bank" really is. The fact is that very few wealthy people just have money sitting around in a bank. And when you try confiscating other types of wealth you realize how impractical it is. Income cap becomes equally complicated when you count income as money a business you own made and reinvested in itself

No, that's wrong. The purpose of Science is to publish new and interesting results. Some of those will be wrong. It happens. That's science. Sometimes the fact that existing consensus is wrong is notable, and if so, sure: publish the refutation.

But what is up with this "moral obligation" nonsense? Being wrong isn't "immoral", it's just a mistake.

You're trying to apply ideas of politics and rhetoric to argue that Science somehow "advocated" for a result that made democrats look good and republicans look bad, and that they're now "obligated" to make democrats look bad too. And that's wrong. Like I said if you want political argument fodder go to Slate (or, sadly, HN). That's not what Science does.
The PRC has lots of high level corruption as well. Much of the Chinese economy is already owned by a few powerful red families.
Putting aside the real issue of advisors not acting in their clients' best interest, the distinction between 'advisers' and 'advisors' seems to be a myth based on an assumption by the Small Investors Protection Association that the spelling of the word in a certain law is somehow decisive, which would make no sense in the context of consumer protection.

Yes, lawyers pay non-lawyers for services all time. I’m thinking of profit-sharing. We don’t know how close to profit-sharing their arrangement is, because we don’t know the details of the contract between them.

I feel like the world needs more people like Clifford Stoll. He represents one of the last vestiges of the "old, weird America", from a time when "Think Differently" meant something real and wasn't a marketing slogan.

No, what I'm saying is that no matter how big a threat to the US economy Japan was, or India may become, the US is always going to take a harder line against China than against either Japan or India, because China is perceived by the US to be a strategic threat, not just in an economic capacity, but also in an ideological and military capacity, whereas neither Japan nor India are seen as strategic threats in an ideological or military sense

Read books instead. Every time you want to browse the web, pick up a book. After you have read the book, only visit sites that discuss said books. Books can be garbage but at least they have some peer review. You have to understand that the web is designed to get you to click. It's the ultimate pavlovian step. Places like HN and reddit are actually the worst because you see and read mostly bullshit that lacks context nor substance. If you are an expert in something that comes up on HN, expect to become disillusioned for example. And on reddit.. well good luck.
