Sure, the purpose of those taxes are completely different though.

Emissions taxation obviously makes sense to apply per unit of fuel - if you buy 1L of petrol you're almost certainly going to burn it, and the CO2 produced is going to be pretty much identical regardless of which vehicle it's used in or whether it's used in a generator or whatever.

Road wear is more indirect and really just sort of works out on balance (e.g. some pay more than they should, some less).

With an EV only the road wear is relevant. If you're inspecting the car, it makes no sense to use kWh (a proxy for road use) when you can just use mileage (the actual road usage).
Since nobody is making EV heavy trucks yet and EVs are a small minority of road traffic they account for approximately none of the infrastructure wear and tear.

It's a pure cash grab. If they need more money they should be up front about it rather than being smiley and trying to portray it as EV owners not paying their fair share. I say this as someone who buys a heck of a lot of gas.
Fastest isn't necessarily best.

My ISPs caching DNS, and any caching DNS running on IP addresses belonging/advertised by my ISP by BGP to various CDNs, are the best possible responses.

I don't care if the p99 DNS response from my ISP is 50% slower than Cloudflare, if the streaming video, or large download, or many small files requests are better served by CDNs in my ISPs network that are not visible to Cloudflare.

All DNS benchmarks I have seen focus only on the DNS response time, never on the DNS response quality.

But that's because they are mostly written by people who don't know how the internet (or competent ISPs) actually work. Some of them even seem to log errors when they get unexpected responses for some well-known URLs (like google.com) because they don't know there are new Google sites than when they last checked ...

I currently live in a state that charges extra for EV. I ran the numbers as I have an EV. It turns out. I pay less tax under the EV tax then I would driving using Gas.

This article is wrong on many levels. no wonder so many ppl try this and make no money.

>You find a high DA site that allows user generated content to be added and indexed. (the host)

>Common parasites include Medium, Amazon s3, Github, Linkedin, Quora, Youtube, ect.

Google rank does not apply to subdomains. The subdomain does not inherit any of the rank of the parent. That is why blogspot and s3 will never work in this regard.

Parasite SEO boost only works if the link passes ranking, the page itself has a lot of SEO authority, and there are not too many outgoing links. Medium will not work for this reason unless you get your link on a very high ranking medium page. Just posting your link on a new medium blog is useless. Same for Github, Quora, Youtube, linkedin for these reasons.

The unexpected pleasures of returning to employment from freelance life
It's a huge concern if you're living in the "western world", especially in a big city, which is where jobs tend to congregate. London is a nightmare for this, for example.

It's the exact reason why many tech people are clamoring for remote work and going for "vacations" to Asian holiday countries (Thailand is a big one) where they stay most of the year. It's literally cheaper to live in a tropical paradise than in a reasonable apartment in London.

I've also seen a trend where companies start their offices in smaller cities next to capitals and their employees don't commute TO work, they commute from their homes to bigger cities on weekends. It's still decidedly far from ideal but it beats spending 1.5 hours on a commute every single day.
45-50k is not enough to make a good living in Berlin, when your rent and utilities (everything included) is around 1k to 1,250 EUR, which leaves you around 1k EUR to live by.
I've been part of Ruby teams and Rails apps can start almost as slow as Java apps. Big .NET projects, too.

There is more than one way to be honest about a situation. This person can start talking about the company spitefully, trashing them to the interviewer. Unfortunately, some folks that do this also do the same to their current employer or coworkers.

Now, I don't know about you, but I'd rather not knowingly hire in this sort of toxicity. Tough love and unfiltered opinions (honesty) can simply be an excuse for being an asshole when there are other options.

The person can calmly describe that there were pre-existing problems, though, hint and be honest at them (but not dwell), and go on about how they learned some life lessons and so on. When describing the issues, use fairly neutral, non-value-based terms.

So instead of saying, "The company is shit", you can say things like, "I'm not happy at the company" or "I don't feel like i*m a good fit for the culture there". Perhaps your honesty needs help with presentation.
Fee based taxation at the vehicle level is there to slow electric adoption and benefit a few stakeholders, period.

The obvious way to raise money from all motor vehicles today is LPR. The Federal government already has an extensive network of LPR and high resolution cameras on the interstate highway system for criminal and customs surveillance, and most states have extensive networks that can easily be scaled.

You could even use LPR for demand based taxation, instead of mileage based systems, put fees on peak usage or vehicle class.

The current system is significantly flawed anyway, because state policy varies, especially with trucks. A truck operating in New York may be gassing up In Pennsylvania, and be out of the jurisdiction of the state for safety and other regulation. Also commercial vehicles use flags of convenience for registration... rental vehicles are often registered in Arizona and Indiana.
Dude, they own the property. This is OK.

We'll see.

Pi Hole uses DNSmasq as its DNS (and DHCP) server, and the few DNSmasq mailing list threads I've seen on the topic seem to indicate that the DNSmasq developers are not interested in either DoT or DoH. One said that it would be difficult to implement because of architectural issues IIRC.

It may be necessary to use a front-end proxy:

Humans naturally associate aesthetic qualities with all sorts of things. An appreciation for the things around you makes life richer. Maybe you don't like the word beautiful in this context (or feel like it's overused), but I wonder if you'd argue with using the word elegant to describe something like quicksort or a cleverly composed fibonacci function? Beauty takes many forms, and getting hung up on nomenclature seems silly TBH. Characterizing this appreciation as perverse and inhuman is essentially taking offense to someone else's enjoyment in something they appreciate. Seems pointless.

> You do all those things with C++ (or, for fpga, asic, etc., without). There is exactly zero benefit to dropping to C first.

That's my point. The performance tuning is generally not between C++ or C hence why you cannot extrapolate your experiences to the rest of the finance industry.

>And, nobody suggested anybody actually laughs at C developers.

You said, "In the finance world, you would be laughed out of the room for proposing C for a performance-critical task."

Then in discussing the nature of the laughter you said "The laughter would not be about measurable performance; you might well be able to get C code to go as fast. The laughter would be over your apparent fear of the C++ compiler, and the suggestion to spend their money on a predictably inferior, more expensive, less maintainable solution."
Correct, there are thousands of species of mosquito that do not feed on human blood. The question is whether a genetic weapon could be made specific enough to target only the blood suckers while sparing the pollinators.
How Blockchain Will Fix Internet Communications
Generally speaking the average person who buys an EV is better off than the average person who buys a gasoline/diesel car, new or used, the reason being that EVs are on average more expensive compared to the same class of vehicles which are powered by gasoline/diesel (to say nothing of the fact that I don't know of used EVs that can be purchased under 4,000-5,000 euros, of which the roads around me are full of).

As such it makes sense to tax more the people that have more money, you aren't going to get as much money from a single-mum driving her 1.2l Opel Corsa compared to what you can get from a programmer/lawyer/real estate investor who drives a 80,000 euro Tesla.
Hype vs. Reality at the MIT Media Lab
The internet also was 99% plaintext. Then we realized that governments would pull all kinds of tricks to watch that text. From your own state monitoring all the traffic, to outside states hijacking BGP and slurping up your data. This has, at least in the case of http centralized certificates.

Here's the next thing, no one is stopping you from running your own DoH server. No one is stopping you from changing the FF config to use it. The big issue has been is the end user has been so unaware of security for so long and done so little about it somebody has to. There is no financial incentive for your ISP to care, so they have not. Most operating systems, specifically Windows, but also Apple have done little to nothing for client DNS security. This could have been handled between operating system developers and DNS infrastructure but they didn't care to.

In a way, it's a Multics vs. Multics clash. I already have one application to rule them all. My operating system. I do not appreciate when the browser tries to supersede it. Not (just) because of philosophical reasons, but because browsers completely suck at being operating systems. The web takes a lot of control from the users, and offers near-zero interoperability.

It all feels like a step-by-step attempt at turning general-purpose computers into cable TV.
That's the only reasonable conclusion we could come up with.

Road wear depends also on the torque applied on the road. I mean, torque becomes a shear pressure on the asphalt surface after all.

And since asphalt is pretty much a liquid with theological properties (unlike glass, which doesn’t flow)... ya road wear depends on driver driving style!

Which is the genius of gas tax, btw. Simple to implement and captures a lot of the externalities of driving. The Europeans get this and tax gas significantly more than ya.
Exactly. If most mail clients downloaded it automatically upon receipt instead of on view then the tracking benefits get diluted to the point of uselessness.

(Actually, thinking further it would have to be done server side to avoid leaking your personal IP. For a webmail provider that’s obviously straightforward, while IMAP servers could be extended to automatically replace AMP email directives with a static HTML attachment.)
Some countries really don't want you automating SMS's to their local users, countries like UAE for example are very restrictive. Other issues, number porting often brakes cross carrier SMS and roaming in general often breaks SMS delivery.

We seem to disagree on what unethical behavior means it seems. For instance, I don't think Groupon, Airbnb or advertising in general are unethical at all. I can understand why you have the position you do if your meter for unethical behavior is like this, but I don't think this meter will do you much good in life. Either way, we won't really get any further on this argument when we have such basic disagreements so this is where I'll stop.

You could have people self report. You could even include it on the tax returns. Require people to fill in the current odometer reading on every car they own and then do spot checks.
One of the reasons that feudalism ended was the evolution of military technology.

When dominant technology was scarce, it-- armor, warhorses, swords, nutrition, training-- was the dominion of feudal lords, which gave them real power over the peasantry.

The crossbow, and then the pike, gunpowder, and advances in organization & discipline such as those coming out of the old Swiss Confederacy and Gustavus Adolphus's Sweden changed everything. The fact that sovereign power relied on sizeable armies of citizenry to wage war was politically enabling for the peasants.

Combined with increased individual agency from economic output due to pre-industrial and industrial advances in tech, and the stage is set for democracy.

Some Swiss still carry their swords, now heirlooms, to the polls. If they did not have swords, they would not have polls.

If technology now removes the economic and military agency of the individual, it will also remove his political agency.
Except Moore's law ended in 2012.

Apple and Steve did some truly "breakthrough" product announcements. Steve mentioned this in his iPad announcement. The timing was right, the technology was right, the market was right.

The speed of change has been tremendous in the past 100 years and –besides doing a lot of good– also has serious social and ecological repercussions.

They can, it just takes extra steps.

Firefox tries DoH via Cloudflare, for an internal domain that returns NXDOMAIN (Cloudflare can't answer for your internal resolver,) then they fall back to local resolvers, which is OS based (DHCP or statically set.)

The response time to complete the internal request goes up, because you're sending data to Cloudflare, they can't find it, then the 'normal' response time for internal resolvers.

Edit: Made more clear.
Wouldn't it make more sense to use some other general tax revenue to fund the roads? Whether or not they drive a car, everyone benefits almost equally from the road system, which is used for transporting food and other vital products, for medical transport, for law enforcement, for practically everything to support our modern lifestyles.

Even someone claiming to be living totally off-grid is benefiting from roads just by purchasing materials to build their homes, solar panels, selling their produce at the farmer's market etc.

Like gasoline tax, a per-vehicle tax is regressive; the affluent can afford it, but the poor get taxed almost as much for a necessity that they can't get to work without. A case could be made that a Tesla S might pay a higher excise tax than a Leaf (or any cheaper sedan) but the higher taxes levied on electrics are going to disincentivize the working poor and lower middle class from going to EV's.
I can't speak to other states, but in PA, part of the logging is what miles you've driven through the state. This prevents drivers from stopping and filling up on the border at a cheaper state and have enough diesel to drive through without buying more in our state. So the road tax is already based on mileage not just fuel. It is just partially charged at fuel purchase time.

The main problem with EVs is that it would be easy to back charge you based on mileage but getting that $600 bill all at one time would be a hardship for some people. PA has an annual registration fee that also hits seniors quite hard as they drive almost no miles but at least they don't pay much in tax at the pump.

fyi, PA is a great case study as we have more miles of road than any other state and the majority of shipping to/from the northeast goes through the keystone state. I think we'll have to be more innovative and split these into a monthly payment based on expected miles and you pay the balance at annual inspection/registration time. Then we can charge based on weight and mileage to get a more fair picture of use. [Source: my sister is a high level director at PennDOT.]

In some countries there are limits on how long a company can employ a contractor. I can't find it at the moment but I think that here (Norway) it is something like four years. After that the contractor is supposed to be either let go or offered permanent employment. Perhaps someone more familiar with the rules could chip in, I've only been contracting for a short period.

I think the situation is somewhat similar in the US except that instead of a legal maximum the contract must specify an explicit end date after which there must be a break in employment.
Maybe in the US or SV but in Europe nobody outside research, academia and archaic engineering companies where a degree is a form of signaling, care about your degrees.

I regularly hire people into a commercial software company in Europe, and I don't inherently care about your degree, but I do care about you understanding a broad range of the fundamentals, and in the absence of a CS degree (which does happen) I have to spend extra time assessing an applicant's understanding of the fundamentals. Recently hired a fresh grad without a CS degree for a C++ programming position, and his interview was a bit longer than usual while we ran over those basics.

The degree IS a form of signalling; it signals "I probably have a grasp of the basics".
