The lower capital gains tax is to encourage the things that the economy needs...namely investing in creating and growing companies.

This reminds me of LMAX, who found the fastest way to build their stock exchange was to make the core logic single-threaded, surrounded by multithreaded I/O:

This is ludicrous. The only people that are going to be printing 3d legos are the ones that already love lego and just want to do some custom things. I want to get a 3d printer specifically to make some custom stuff for my kids, and that will in turn just have us buying more normal legos.

IMHO you could be using the same chips for a surprisingly long time - you're likely to need some electronics maintained e.g. replacing capacitors, but if you really need to get some computing power for a 2100 post-apocalyptic scenario where there's just a few million people, then scavenging working chips from random gadgets has a lot of potential. E.g. a hard drive controller or a kids toy may be running on something that was good enough for a CPU twenty years ago.

Strictly speaking, for manufacturing you need the layout for the chip, but extracting a schematic from a given layout is an automated process and used for verification. You create a layout from a given schematic and later check, whether the layout implements that schematic.

I can't talk about coding boot camps but I can talk about making the most of your time off.

I did something similar but I was already a programmer at the time. I did this to learn about graphics programming. I had been programming for about 14 years at this point but was totally unfamiliar with graphics programming.

I locked myself away in my room in a flatshare for about 6 weeks between contracts and grinded my way through OpenGL tutorials and Khan Academy's maths courses - eventually I threw together some simple scenes and made a simple top-down 3d shooter.

It was very productive. My tips:

1. Set a schedule and set a goal for the day i.e. to be able to explain matrix transforms or fragment shaders to a beginner. I would do about 10 hours a day with a 2 hour break.

2. Use the time also to focus on good diet and exercise. The discipline here will drive you to stick to the schedule. If you drink alcohol or do recreational drugs, take this as an opportunity to abstain. This is also an opportunity to abstain from anything else you feel is letting you down, such as excessive gaming (not a problem I have personally but many feel they do).

3. Have an end goal for the entire session, - in my case I wanted to make a simple 3d platformer but it ended up looking a bit more like the original GTA games

4. Keep a journal with your observations, about what you're learning but also about how you feel and whether your pace is sustainable. One of the mistakes I noted after reading my journal at the end was that I spent far too much time learning C++ to do the work, which I didn't know well. I could have done a better job if I had used a language I know better such as Python.

I later came to know this method of self improvement as "monk mode", only in my case with a very specific goal of learning graphics programming.

In terms of real world effects, I later co-founded a company with a product that used a custom 3d graphics engine to do some of its work. I developed the MVP but eventually hired programmers who have taken it forward beyond my skill level. However, my business would not have existed in its current form without this period of learning and introspection.

Identity theft's newest target: your face
Keep in mind you're also a (most likely) obvious foreigner taking pictures of perhaps a sensitive building in a foreign country. You don't think that given the current geopolitical climate, Asian people in the US taking pics of say, Mar-a-Lago, or a military complex or even an industrial park would sometimes run into trouble?

Also, you may have been to China, but have you ever taken the time while there to attempt to understand why there might be some support for the government? This is a country where even among the fairly young, most experienced poverty as children, where their parents and their grandparents have experienced hunger, sometimes severe famine, being invaded and conquered and brutalized by the Japanese, then civil war, and the civil strife and turmoil of the Cultural Revolution. Chinese families are close knit, most grow up living with their grandparents - these generational experiences are ingrained into the fabric of society. There's genuine and heartfelt appreciation for the recent policies and stability that has finally let a people raise themselves out from that poverty. (China in the 50's, 60's, and 70's was much poorer than Sub-Saharan Africa - per capita GDP was something from 1/2-1/3 of even places like the Congo and Zimbabwe). There is pride too, overwhelming pride in the grit and determination and hard work that has been poured into all that development and progress. Obviously, that's not to say that there isn't plenty of criticism and opposition and people making fun of aspects of the government and government policies, but the general support is not fake or coerced. I imagine it's not that different from the way a certain generation of Americans from a particular economic class saw FDR and his whole New Deal administration.

Just keep in mind that sometimes, depending on their background story and life experiences, people can see the same things in a very different light. They also have different utility curves - some might value a tootsie roll over a twix bar, some might value liberty over their own life, or some might just value stability and the opportunity to live their lives and raise their children over anything else in the world.

From a 33,000 mile view of Model 3 RWD, LR:

- Oiled a squeaky driver side door

- Replaced tires

Meanwhile, some things got better:

- Tesla increased range by 5%.

- New audio CODECs improved sound.

- Driving safety features improved, even sans AP/EAP.

- Bunch of new toy features in the software.

Stuff I wouldn't expect on a $50,000 car:

- When rolled down, windows seem to not be secured within the door. Close the car door, and you can hear them bounce inside.

- Trunk lid doesn't have that 'solid' sound when closing like my 328i did.

Something of an interesting technical side effect:

- I neglected to rotate my tires (bad, I know), and, I did not replace the front tires when the rear were done (RWD). That meant that the front turned at a slightly higher RPM than the rear, cuz the rear had full tread, the front about 25%. When I took hard turns, it also meant the inside wheels turned slower than the outside wheels. Hence, at that point, it's possible all 4 wheels are turning at slightly different rates. That seems to invoke traction control, something I never (literally) saw in 33,000 miles up to that point.
Consumption is a smaller percentage of wealthy household incomes, and that plan doesn't do anything to address equity or other forms of lucrative wealth generation.

I don't agree with that definition of "fair", and I think it would further exacerbate wealth inequality.
This is a very important point. Tax rates and taxes are very different.

We have a marginal tax system so effective rates should be higher for those that make more. Them paying lower tax rates (like Buffet said) is them having more loopholes in the system.

There are a very large number of Z80s around today and in-use. They are dirt-cheap and just right for many embedded applications.

If that's true then I'm wrong, but I'll need a reference on that.

My understanding has been that the TPP was about opening China to further outsourcing of white collar work by regularizing IP law on paper (which the Chinese would just ignore of course). This would have allowed more paralegal, contract writing, engineering, and even things like radiology (X-ray and scan interpretation) to be outsourced, further gutting the US middle class and transferring more expertise to China. In other words it would have started the outsourcing of non-physical forms of service work and more lower-level intellectual labor. What would even be left of the US middle class after that?
As mentioned elsewhere in the comments, the employees should be free to leave but this could result in their firing.

German Banks Start Passing on Negative Interest Rates to Retail Clients
It's extremely common, even today, though probably not the processor I would pick (I think 68000 family, perhaps?), but it's probably a reasonable choice. You're going to be able to find it embedded in literally millions of devices and it's simple enough for one person to build a computer around it.

I suspect the argument against modern Intel chips is just their complexity. They need an incredibly complicated and somewhat fragile support infrastructure...you can't build a modern PC motherboard in your garage and you don't expect modern PCs to last decades. They're very common, though, and I suspect there will be plenty of PCs to scavenge, at least through our lifetimes. But, the next generation will probably have trouble keeping them going...I've got a 40 year old C64 still running with nearly all original parts, but I am nearly 100% certain my modern laptop will not last even a decade without repairs using parts that can't be manufactured without modern infrastructure.

You are misreading it. The pixel gets physically larger so that you will see it at the same size.

A CSS pixel is a 1/96 inch square on the surface of a typical desktop screen. (It wasn't adjusted to the recent trend of screen growth, so that number is getting more wrong with time.) Different media are expected to change that size so that your page renders the same way.

I'd agree with this perspective honestly. Older people no longer relate to finding as many "bae" or partners as possible. They're generally not looking for a teenage boy band to sweep them off their feet and make their dreams come true. They no longer find ___'s bad boy attitude alluring, as it seems childish.

Popular Music just isn't targeted towards the older age groups, which is why we always look back on it on rose-coloured and sex-hungry glasses. That doesn't mean it's not still relevant to some of them, but it doesn't have the same relevance it did from when we were teenagers.

Plus, songs about how your boss messed up a paycheque calculation, how your child cries for 6 nights straight, which foods give you heart burn, or how hard it is to save for retirement aren't as attractive topics.

The corporate tax hits everyone, and it hasn't "plummeted", it was reduced all at once in one year, to a still extremely high level (from my Canadian perspective).

They go to all this effort to make a case that the effective rates paid by people with extremely high incomes are often slightly lower than those paid by people with still-very-high incomes... then they blame the marginal rate!

My mother was insistent on driving SUVs because she said she could see the road better from higher up, which to me really just meant that when she would look at cars, she wouldn't consider the feature she actually needed: raisable seats.

However, in practice, she backed into a couple poles in her old SUV and said she didn't see them. Hm.

She now drives a car instead of an SUV and not once has complained about being unable to see, and I don't think it has raisable seats, so I think she may have simply convinced herself of something that was untrue.
