> since the capital invested was smaller than the tax losses generate

Can you give an example of how that works? As a non-rich person if I invest $100 it seems like the largest taxes I can pay is $100 (100% tax). How do I generate > $100 tax loss for a $100 investment?
It's remarkable that Tesla is making delivery records even though they've lost over $5000 of incentive per car in the US. For a lot of vehicles, that's the entire profit margin. And they're doing that on top of historically low gas prices and without a mid-level SUV or truck.

Tesla is proving more robust than the common narrative.
Those are examples of business interests, but if any business that doesn't care about the physical and financial wellbeing of its workers is a business we are better off without.

"We made a profit" is never an excuse for unethical/immoral business dealings.

If I understand this correctly, it's not even a matter of using a filter, just a case of summing some random sinusoids with an appropriate weighting for each according to the frequency. You can do this by starting off with noise in the frequency domain and shaping it before doing an iFFT.

Generals are not paid that well, at least not compared to a Silicon Valley software engineer's salary. I think they make ~$200k (https://militarypay.defense.gov/Portals/3/Documents/ActiveDu...), so if any of them are obscenely wealthy, best guess is they make a lot of money off of "speaking events" like any other person with political connections.

I love the idea but the rich would lobby so hard against it like it's the end of the world.
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, but it doesn’t seem to contradict my statement that “no, the rich don’t pay less taxes than the poor”.
it's a theory heavy intro to a wide variety of analytical techniques. it's a common refrain that deep learning has very little in the way of theory. and in fact gans with their optimization scheme framed as a game that plays until equilibrium is one of the few pieces, that's also interesting.
This is sort of true. If there is something wrong with the battery then there is a good chance they will fix it for free even if it's not under warranty, rather than billing you several thousand dollars.

But if, say, the dash lights come on saying you need to take it in immediately because there is a problem with the battery, but when you take it in they can't find anything wrong with it, then they will still bill you a few hundred bucks for looking at it.

It is work from which the company derives value in the form of reduced shrink. Furthermore travel to and from work is at the employees discretion and direction they are free to go not only just to and from work but wherever they please and their employer can't be expected to know, care, or pay for it.

This is more akin to being locked on the company premises after work has terminated unpaid but unable to leave. If they can't do a bag check in 5 minutes and leave amazon should hire more checkers to do that work or compensate the employees for the time lost.

Perhaps the proper thing to assert is imprisonment instead of wage theft.

One used to be able to deduct any interest, not just mortgage interest. There was a sweetheart deal for oil production, to the point that 50s Hollywood actors would form corporations that mixed film production with oil business. Capital gains were quasi indexed to inflation in that your first 50% wasn’t subject to gains taxes.

The whole point of the changes in 86 (aka Reagan tax cuts) was to remove all those deductions/loopholes/shelters in return for a lower nameplate rate. The goal was to clear out bullshit stuff people were doing for tax reasons and replace it with useful economic activity.
Europe has mostly already figured out all of these things. Jobs can still provide some benefits like accident insurance and transit cards, but healthcare and pensions are heavily regulated by the state apart from who you are working for.

Your points are American only and stem from a bunch of perverse decisions made during the wage controls of WW2.
Right. The cost of the electricity for L2 charging is much less than the fully burdened price of providing free parking (or using the bathroom, etc).

I stated tax rate too. The bottom 50% effective tax rate is almost 1/10th of what the top 1%’s is.

I don’t think developing a keyboard for it is too difficult. Actually I could try to do it myself. The problem is probably more about making users install it when it’s not preinstalled on the device and thus requires downloading an application. Heck, even languages such as Chinese or Japanese requires a (first party) download on Android. I found iOS handles better multilingual input and is less confusing to get started with new keyboards.

I don't see why capital gains should be taxed lower.

Money you get from working, from your blood and your sweat should be heavily taxed, but money you're earning just by already having money (whether it's from your work, inherited, donated from family members) shouldn't be taxed as well?

What's the logic here?

Other countries have already figured this out. And no one ever calls it “free healthcare” except for a few naive American libertarians. They don’t provide free healthcare, and if you aren’t in the system (and paying via taxes or otherwise covered via tax revenue redistribution), you’ll get a bill one way or the other (unless there is an agreement between two socialized health systems).

You're paid more because you are expected to provide a lot of value and are also hard to replace. Society is simply giving you back some of the value that you're creating for it. A housekeeper can only change so many people's sheets per day, while features you engineer at Google can impact a billion+ people. BTW, if you don't feel like you contribute a lot yet, give it some time - in 5-10 years, this should change.
I don't agree with it, but two day shipping is the silver bullet that separates Amazon from the competition. I don't hear these stories about Walmart or Costco's warehouses, clearly there's something about the way Amazon does business that causes these problems.

No, just income tax, the only portion of the tax code that is nominally progressive. Payroll taxes are explicitly regressive, going away at an income of roughly the top 5%. Sales taxes are flat.

Even income taxes aren't as progressive as you would think, because a large fraction of upper-class wealth comes from dividends and capital gains, which are taxed at a rate below the income of a household earning $78,951 year! The biggest tax deductions are for homeowners (including second homes) and retirement savings, which overwhelmingly go to the wealthy. The idea that the wealthy pay a high tax rate is absurd if you look at the whole picture.

It's hard to figure out how they got that chart that I've now seen pasted about a dozen times around social media. They cite an unpublished book. But it looks comically wrong. The bottom decile's tax rate is nowhere near 25%. The entire bottom quintile's tax rate is around 3%, and less than 2% for federal taxes.

Perhaps the book plays some games with what constitute a "tax rate?" For example, if you spend double your income on consumption (not uncommon for low income people, especially those who benefit from programs like EITC and SNAP) and then pay sales tax, you could squint really hard and say that a 10% state sales tax is effectively a 20% income tax. But that's crazy; this number would keep going up the more wealth transfer happens.

It's almost like you only read the headline and nothing else, because the article itself screams "General Electric" in a way that nobody who actually visited the page would ever have been confused.

Personally, when I lead a team, I keep abreast of what people are working on and ask them if they need help, or tell one of the more suited senior guys to offer a hand if it's an area I can't easily help in.

I imagine the standup helps more when you're lead is a non-technical scrum master guy who doesn't have much of a personal relationship with the team.

On the latter point I typically buy my team members fancy coffees and the occasional lunch, and it's easy to get on with them if you care about their careers, so I've never needed a standup.
Employees generally choose where they live and which jobs they apply for and where, so this is not a reasonable comparison. They have no choice about these checks.
Well when that was said about the internet, they were kind of right. I don't know how you would believe quantum computing wouldn't be a huge change unless you thought something like error detection made it fundamentally impractical.

It's going to take decades to mature the technology but it will change a lot. As an investment tool, it's much less certain. Capitalism is fluid. If money is easily available, people will start bad companies to get that money. The internet went through a bubble but certainly did change everything.

And if sometime in the future Perl is no longer included by default, it will be installed "by dependency" just when you install packages like rsnapshot, CSF firewall, etc. and probably a big bunch of tools that nobody would guess are written in Perl (or some tools of the package)

> lower maintenance costs than ICE vehicles

I researched it prior and it seems people pay very little for maintenance. I've personally logged 13k mi in 10 months and literally had no maintenance expenses.

> higher insurance costs than ICE vehicles

There are so many variables to insurance pricing. Not to mention that you can bargain. I honestly have a hard time comparing. My rate is around 600 per 6 months.

> possibility of long delays for repairs (moreso than other EVs)

I've heard about wait times for particular parts. I haven't had an issue myself. I can't compare to other EVs, since I haven't owned others.

> possibility of company going out of business, and impact on software maintenance, software updates, and parts availability (also moreso than other EVs)

This seems extremely unlikely at this point. Should it happen, the car will still charge and drive just fine.

What if a language has 10,000, 100k or 1 million happy users is that not enough?

If I wrote a custom language for me and a few friends or companies and there's 100 of us using it, no one would declare the language dying. So why do we use number of users? Is it dependent on the number of available jobs? new Books, articles, or library/modules published?

I'm not so sure, but I'll like to know what makes a language a dying or dead language.
