>it is usefull to protect billionaires

Income taxes aren't on wealth; they're on income.

Billionaires usually own most value in stock (and usually in a company they own or founded). The majority of the Forbes 400 are there due to founding a company that was found so useful to others, that the owner is worth billions.

When they sell ownership they get taxed at very high rates, and this is after their company being taxed (which is simply an income tax on owners, but called corporate tax). If they give the ownership to others (like children), they get taxed.

> Pick any CEO in the top-100 corporations. Look at their income. Then look at their overall earnings.

Warren Buffet is probably the easiest person to look at here. A quick google says that [0] he made $11m in 2016, and on that he paid $1.85m in federal income tax, and he claims a large portion of the remainder was paid in state tax. Even ignoring his state taxes, yes he paid a marginal rate of 16%, but he still paid more in income tax than the average 1%er's salary. I'm certainly not a right wing advocate, but the spin associated with the "rich are not paying enough tax" doesn't really help the conversation much.

> somebody using a keyboard for one of the CJK languages only needs to press shift to type all the characters in Basic Latin because the physical layouts are the same

The keyboards you buy in China (the C in CJK) are the same ones you'd buy in the US. They don't have their own.

This makes sense, since character input is done in software; there is no way to map physical keys to the much much larger inventory of characters.

> Are workers compensated in proportion to the length of their commute?

The workers are compensated for the tickets to the public transport they use. If they need to use more than one (for instance, taking a bus and then the ferry, or a bus and then the train and then another bus), they will be compensated for all these tickets.

> Is the company able to tell workers how to manage their commute?

AFAIK, when there's more than one public transport route, it's the worker who chooses which route they will use.
You're definitely painting with a broad brush. You can read Stallman's site and see for yourself that he is as left as they come (which is waaaay more left than "liberal"). Insinuating that there is some grand left-wing cabal conspiring to oust the "true hackers" is wrong. Some people apparently think Stallman is unfit to lead GNU, other people think he is. There is no need to throw accusations of malice around.
You've been able to boot Ubuntu from ZFS for a while now, it just required you to drop to a shell, create your pool and then manually install onto it.

I strongly disagree. Sure you need more to run the latest games, or some video/photo/sound editing, but you wouldn't be doing those types of things on this device. For browsing, checking your social media/email, etc. it's more than enough. Even for coding. I worked a year or so off of a chromebook(with linux installed) with 4GB RAM and never had any issues.

You can run multiple instances of redis on the same machine, which gets you parallelism from multiple processes instead of multiple threads. There's some extra deployment effort in doing so, but it's not generally a big issue.

It also isn't exactly single threaded. It calls fork when it wants to persist data to disk, which is functionally similar to starting up a thread to do disk IO.

They aren't completely unrelated to software. One can't divorce community issues from technical issues when the project in question has a "philosophy" page. From said page (https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html)

The way rms treats people involved in GNU goes directly to what is meant by 'community.'

Well that, and the fact that we already have plenty of OSes to run on x86(-64).

I'm surprised that it doesn't have support for Z80 if it's so common.

I'm also surprised that I can't see mention of Z80 in GCC's documentation.
> Think of Tesla as maximizing the expected value of its entire profitability over its lifetime.

I'm familiar with the discounted cash flow model of valuing a company. You're missing the point: If they keep losing money, they need more investments. At some point, they won't get any more investments, because potential investors won't believe that the company will be profitable in the future.

> [...] it has a good chance of making a lot more money by continuing to invest in itself.

Only if they don't go bankrupt in the near future, which is a very real possibility. Then all this talk about growth and "investing in itself" will be useless – they will make zero money.
Not really. We're talking about economic growth not equity. The argument that widespread private investment is better for growth than widespread hoarding is better established than the argument that government spending is better for growth than hoarding. Even with regard to equity or fairness, government spending isn't always better as more government creates the opportunity for more government capture.

There are other arguments for directly taxing wealth, but the one I listed isn't one in my opinion.

Good point. This is compounded by the fact that people under pressure are understandably less interested in moral issues and have less time to inform themselves.

True, it's rarely just raw performance. KeyDB has other advantages like multi-threading and disk-based persistence (instead of being limited by RAM) that makes it better at utilizing your server resources and handling larger scales.
This is true, but the challenge is that you can't just change how wide the streets are or how big the buildings are in an urban area overnight. It takes decades to change the transportation orientation of a neighborhood, and in the meantime, people have to live/work there.

The answer is basically that they don't know at this point. (Reference: I did extensive research on CLT as part of a project in LA a few years ago and talked to CLT experts from the Wood Products Council)

CLT is stiffer than plywood, and the construction techniques are closer to steel/concrete, so it'll likely need reinforcement or dampering. Traditional wood buildings these days are designed to flex in earthquakes.

Low-end food courts are extremely common in the US. There's probably one in just about any mall. The problem is that low-end food court in the US mostly translates into fast food chains which are mostly... not very good.

I expect you'd need a culture that was more open to low-cost non-branded ethnic cuisines. You have it to some degree here and there. Food trucks (though those are often a bit higher price point), international food stalls at outdoor events. But hawker centers (which are one of the things I love about Singapore) are probably tough to transport to a lot of other situations--though you do have good street food in a lot of places in Asia.
Your article is fake news, RMS did not defended Epsein and the pedophilia thing is an opinion that he changed his mind about.

If Seattle is not careful they’re going to end up on the same situation as the Bay Area: extremely expensive building projects due to red tape that take forever to complete and only house the rich.

Yeah you can build here, but have you completed all your environment impact studies? And posted notice of tree removal with requisite public comment period? And have you set aside 30% of the units for low income and raised the price on the rest of the the units to make up for it? And are you ready to comply with rent control laws? And are you supplying 2 parking spaces per tenant as required by law? And is your business chartered in CA with requisite taxes and fees? Did your bidding process include businesses owned by historically underrepresented groups? Have you kissed the ring of your local union leaders? Did you make sure your exterior design complies with neighborhood matching decor laws? Oh my god you're not going to cut down that 50-year-old redwood are you??

The vast majority of other income is taxed in the year it is earned, so there is no/minimal inflation.

Gains from HFT would not be LTCG (held less than a year), so it would be taxed at ordinary income rates.

True.

False. Depreciation happens no matter what. The accountants don't care how it's used. The taxing entity may care if you want to obtain a deduction for the depreciating asset as a cost basis, but that's not an accounting question.

No they don't. Ideally, maybe; but that's a political question, not an accounting question.

Ignoring the obvious immoral nature of wage theft, let’s look at the argument people keep saying “they could go work somewhere else”.

What if there aren’t any other companies they can work for, because Amazon has undercut all their competitors by, among other things, systematically engaging in wage theft.

If wage theft is helping to keep the prices down, and other businesses went bust because they were unable to compete with a large business that was ignoring the law, then that isn’t a free market economy, and the victims are now in a position where they have even less power to prevent abuse and wage theft.

The fact that the US courts seem to have decided that mandatory unpaid presence is somehow not something that violates existing Labour law is absurd.

If my booked hours are from X-Y and it takes 25 minutes for your company to get me to the door, then I should have stopped “working” at Y-25 minutes.

If you don’t want to pay me to sit around for 25 minutes you can fix your processes so that it doesn’t take 25 minutes.

Or alternatively: you aren’t permitting me to leave, your not paying me, and you don’t believe I’ve actually stolen anything (eg you’re waiting for police to come and arrest me), then that’s false imprisonment and the entire management chain involved in it should be sent to jail.

I kid of course, the management chain are the people with money contributing to politicians that are saying illegal imprisonment is awesome.

From Antirez's (Redis Maintainer) blog:

> Another thing to note is that Redis is not Memcached, but, like memcached, is an in-memory system. To make multithreaded an in-memory system like memcached, with a very simple data model, makes a lot of sense. A multi-threaded on-disk store is mandatory. A multi-threaded complex in-memory system is in the middle where things become ugly: Redis clients are not isolated, and data structures are complex. A thread doing LPUSH need to serve other threads doing LPOP. There is less to gain, and a lot of complexity to add.
