Most OECD countries have dropped wealth taxes. They don’t work. In 1990, 12 OECD countries had wealth taxes, now, only 4. A wealth tax has a lot of unintended consequences and while it sounds good as a populist sound bite, reality isn’t so simplistic.

Yeah, damn right. As I was thinking of each of these things I was like, “wow, holy fucking shit that’s new”. I don’t know how anyone can call the era of the Internet anything but mind blowing. True linking across the entire world. This is ducking revolutionary. Gives me chills.

We sell about 2t for every 1t we burn [0]. Our consumption has no measurable impact, our total production has a sort-of measurable impact (can't deny that we are globally interesting [1]).

The issue is although our production of CO2 is large relative to our population, in global terms it is somewhere between a rounding error and tiny. We'd be much better off focusing on research where we can have a positive impact disproportionate to our size. Our physical efforts are going to look completely feeble compared to whatever China does in their attempts at securing a standard of living comparable to Western nations. Helping them improve in an environmentally friendly way will have a much higher payoff then crippling our economy to show willing.

Realistically our reliance on exporting raw resources is going to cripple Australia sooner or later anyway because it is low value add, but the solution is not to start banning things. And claiming Australia's stance on global warming has anything to do with the Great Barrier Reef is just wishful thinking; we aren't that big a producer of CO2. Our fate is in the hands of the big players.

My inner skeptic says if you have enough money and demand for phone decryption that is using a low-entropy key; your best bet is to take a dump of the phone NVRAM and feed it to inhouse iphone emulator, brute-forcing the key in parallel, without any lockouts. Their product may be an ios emulator.
This is unfortunately only available as an extension for chrome. Also let me state one big difference, https://textimagecyborg.com put user privacy as the most important thing so : no tracking, no ad, no logging, no knowledge whatsoever on who does what.
This is 100% correct, but this list is more about knowing if some ad platform can be a good place to launch ads to a cold audience (that are more targeted for the product) - because, after a while, every single one of the 6 ad platforms allow for lookalike audiences and those will be much more profitable.
I didn't flag you, dang flagged me for criticising your character instead of an idea. In any case, I think there is a case of false dichotomy going on here.
> the very definition of "people who work well together" is that they are productive, and the definition of "don;t work well together" is that they aren't.

I don't agree.

Working well together suggests they cooperate to reach a common goal, regardless of their individual productivity.

Not working well together suggests that they might even waste their time attacking each other instead of working towards a common goal, which has a negative impact on a project regardless of how productive each individual might be.
Haha, you’re right, of course. My real goal is to popularize the notion of paying for your carbon debt so that one day when we know we only have a certain carbon budget we’re acclimated to the idea of paying to pollute a little more by buying some of someone else’s budget. Also, I’d rather bootstrap them now rather than later.

I have to buy the offsets now though or no one will listen. Cool idea to buy the entire lifetime’s offsets.
It's not a GPL problem. It's a GPLv3 problem. Most likely the anti-tivoization clause. Linux, like the old version of Bash that Apple is shipping, is licensed under GPL v2.

I suspect Microsoft is also very careful to make sure they don't ship any GPL v3 components with Windows itself, even when they're available via separate download, because they want to be able to ship locked down devices.
Which is bogus. Have you read the IPCC report? I have. The prediction that estimate is based on is a worst case prediction. Actually it is even worse that that: it is a non-dynamic model designed specifically to give maximally bad outcomes as an impossibility conservative bounding exercise for the things that we don’t know how to model.

The scientific consensus is not what is being stated in alarmist messaging. And the IPCC estimates assume no attempt is made to manage climate change, even things which will be done anyway like building new dams and waterway bypasses to handle greater precipitation events and put water to productive use.

Those same Malthusian arguments made on the supposition of zero human ingenuity have been shouted in earnest alarm for the past two centuries. And every time they have been wrong. This time is no different.
If you work in software development, you've probably witnessed many instances of smart people spending all their time and energy on invented problems that are mathematically or philosophically interesting, rather than actual problems whose solutions would provide customer value. Catastrophizing about AGI is basically the same phenomenon on a macro scale.
"rubber dog poop factory jobs"? Well, at least you're making your contempt for blue collar labor obvious.

You're just wrong about tariffs closing factories. Some factories have closed (and the media makes sure we all know about those), but more have opened (and the media never tells us about those), and in total the number of manufacturing jobs in the US has increased since Trump's tariffs.

Is it just me, or is GitHub getting slower?
Recently started using GitHub almost daily again, after maybe one year of time-off. Seems slower and more buggy, I guess?

The web UI sometimes just sits there doing nothing. "git push" occasionally fails to connect. There's little glitches every day. I don't remember seeing this stuff before. Or not this often - I mean, daily glitches, seriously?

Any connection with them having been acquired by Microsoft a while ago, or is it just observer's bias? There's the reflex to blame Microsoft for the woes of anything they touch, but perhaps I'm reading too much into it.
> Windows will now let you carry on without updating until seriously important security updates are a month old.

If I specifically tell it not to install, yes.

If I want it to automatically install everything, then give me a notice it needs to reboot? Then I keep having windows shut down in the middle of the night, right after installing, no notice, no "forcing the hand eventually". Has this changed in the last couple months?

At least they seem to have finally figured out how to get virus definition updates automatically while reboot-needing updates are set to notify.

Do you believe that attention is an infinite resource?
China does have IP law, and the big companies sue each other for copyright infringement all the time, e.g. https://technode.com/2019/04/26/baidu-bytedance-lawsuits-con...

There's a lot of talk about political censorship in China, but the majority of the content I've seen removed was not political, but in violation of copyright.

What China does not have is a legal system that is both able and willing to stop all instances of copyright infringement (or most other crimes, for that matter). So you get a lot of small-scale operations flying under the radar for as long as possible and vanishing as soon as they risk punishment.
I'm afraid a segregationist would argue the same way: it's those people who ruin our society, but you blame the people trying to salvage something.
Who exactly are you responding to? It seems like most of your statements are just further molding the issue as China vs West, when the whole point of the person you are responding to is that this is a huge fallacy. The real problem here should be more clear cut on the relevant parties e.g. CCP instead of China as a whole.

You are purporting a collection of statements from just one side of the argument, seemingly on purpose.

I am asking you, if you truly want this issue to progress to a healthier path, do not continue to push adversarial position, even though many in the west might do so.

But if I understand correctly people donate when they don't have to pay tax.

From the twitter posts:

> Individuals who fall just below the threshold one year due the chance price of silver suddenly avoid a 2.5% gvt tax. Those people then increase their private donations to charity (since they have more disposable income + islam calls for alms-giving).

Or in clearer terms:

If you could grow your own brain as large as you wanted, and live as long as you wanted with the physical robustness and energy of a 25-year-old, that alone seems like a road to godhood, though perhaps a slow one. If you could download knowledge directly, as another commenter suggests, that becomes a much faster road.

> Apotheosis in the context of AI safety as well as for humankind is really about the accumulation of power, rather than the accumulation of knowledge. The extent of our apotheosis is limited only by what we can control, not by what we know.

If one country, even a smallish one, has 50-100 additional years of technological advancement, I think they might be able to use this knowledge to gain a lot more power. I'm pretty sure history has borne this out. Do you think we're at the limit of what new technology can do for military strength? Materials science (armor, weapons), biotechnology, energy and battery technology, cybersecurity, psychology and propaganda, lasers and anti-missile defense systems...

Suppose a country like North Korea had 100 Einsteins working on such things for a few years under the radar. I suppose it might be difficult for them to hide the construction of their army of thousands of robots invincible to all but the most powerful bombs... but then again, maybe they could do it underground, directly underneath some large innocuous manufacturing operation. And, of course, the cyber- and bio-weapons efforts would be very easy to conceal.
Some companies place rejected candidates on de facto blacklists to avoid wasting time with a recruitment process that's likely to be rejected.

This is particularly common when the hiring process is delegated to third-party HR/recruitment services, where recruiters are averse to the possibility of appearing ineffective in the eyes of their client.
On newer kernels (4.8+) and latest Ubuntu my Thinkpad L390 freezes consistently when I try to suspend. It's gotten a bit better with 5.0.0.31, now suspend works 50% of the cases when I select it manually from the menu, and the laptop is connected to power. Otherwise, 90% freeze.

Even my old trusty XPS 13 started not to go to sleep 1 out of 10 times. There must have been a serious regression in the kernel, but no one seems to care.

For this reason alone, I started to seriously consider giving up Linux on the desktop.
Thanks for the reply Dang. Shouldnt HN deploy that feature that some platforms have where you cant mass-downvote one users comments?
The dialogs are meant to be presented in context so that the user understands _why_ they are being asked for a privacy-impacting decision. Applications rely on this so that they may ask for permission within context.

E.g., a retail company app that asks to track location permissions on start will often get denied. That same app asking for location permissions when the user says 'find nearest stores' will have decent success.

Promoting it up to a system-level coalesced set of notifications both eliminates the benefits of asking for permissions in contexts and the motivation to stop asking for permissions out of context. It also creates a problem in some apps where the prompt is modal, because the API is blocked until the question is answered.

Democracy is freedom, excercised collectively. If the people does not rule itself – which in terms of individuals means that everyone has about equal influence – it gets ruled by someone. That entity probably doesn't have the people's best interests in mind, if it even knows them.

We need freedom for the same reason: Because when you let a person make decisions for themselves, you have generally picked the best person for the job.

Ultimately neither are terminal conditions though, happiness is.

For years I thought I had to do it the way the big boys do, studying university text books and referencing papers in the field and putting a bunch of mathematical notation in my designs and emails. While also knowing all the foundations underneath. Unsurprisingly, that didn't really go anywhere, except hours lost fiddling with Word's equation editor (or worse, Latex).

What did help me was reading a few (really a few - just 2 or 3) simple, applied books; a 'statistics for dummies' (literally, the 'for dummies' book), a textbook used in undergrad business courses ('<something something> business analytics' I think?) and a book that applied all the stats to the field I was working on at the time (transportation modeling). Just being able to apply a linear regression (as in, actually being able to estimate the parameter on a single regressor in a simple data set) got me much further than all the times I thought 'whoops, getting into optimization now, better put this aside and first get a graduate level understanding of linear algebra'. And in a week instead of 2 years, too - quite important to keep your motivation up when you're not a full time student any more.

So while the above is not 'advice', it is my personal experience that when learning applied maths at a later age, it was better for me to focus on application and taking shortcuts even if that meant not fully knowing or understanding what was happening underneath - as intellectually unsatisfying and 'dirty' that felt at the time.
If it was 100% guaranteed that the lot will be worth $6000 in a couple of years, it wouldn't be sold at $3600, but something much closer to $6000. The gentleman buying the lot is obviously taking on risk - the lot may very well never be worth $6000, or may even never again be worth $3600.
Now its even flagged. I simply asked a question that would probably be on the mind of a lot of users on here that value their privacy, liberty and human rights.
Regarding sleep: Windows still doesn’t get it right - my daughter plays Roblox on my wife’s Dell laptop, as she’s 5 she just closes the lid with the game running when she’s done.
I sometimes hear the fan going before I go to bed later, because apparently a “slept” windows laptop is still merrily letting whatever game was running render 60 fps with the lid shut.
Bit silly, and probably awful for her battery life
Entire cities are built around our love for cars — the ideology of the superiority and desireability of cars is deeply buried within the fibre of society. It could be that the author thinks they are just being neutral, while the neutral thing would be to describe this technology as something that regulates the interaction between equally valuable human beeings.

This is car culture 101: expensive Cars (and their drivers) are the top of the foodchain, cyclists and pedestrians are the bottom. Depending on where you live this might differ (e.g. in the Netherlands cyclists are on the same level as motorists and you can really see it in the architecture).
Humans will be wiped out/resources will be heavily reduced before this can become a reality.
Programming is finding abstractions, and those change as a program, and the understanding of the problem grows. Abstractions then have to change again as the program interacts with other systems, and to accomodate typical patterns of changes in the requirements which can't be predicted beforehand. Abstractions then have to change again to facilitate understanding the entire thing, and to accomodate technical changes, or allow easier bug finding.

I'd say, a real-world program that's beautiful 5 years later is ...something special :)
... I use Conan in projects with dependencies on OpenSSL on Linux and I don’t have any issues. I use the Makefile generator (because our build system is plain make + Conan). The name of the package shouldn’t impact you at all, unless I’m misunderstanding what you mean?

Another example is a dependency on a package called ‘jsonformoderncpp’, which I use by ‘#include “nlohmann/blah.h”’ - the package name is arbitrary, even if you have to refer to the dependence using the package name in your build system rather than the canonical name I don’t see how that would be an issue (even with FindPackage or whatever you use in CMake)?
> will simply force China and Chinese companies to develop alternatives to US products.

As if they weren't already doing that very aggressively, using mostly either IP that the American companies have given away willingly to "gain access to the Chinese market" (a hopeless dream) or IP the government's spy agencies have stolen and then handed over to a handful of companies in the relevant industries to catch-up to the American ones.

If you haven't been (actually) paying attention, China was already favoring local Chinese competitors for legal permissions to do stuff, subsidizing them, and also restricting the foreign companies' access to the local markets way before the whole trade war started.

If anything, the trade war should've begun 10 years ago, because then their companies wouldn't have been in as good as a position they are now to be able to keep up with the foreign companies. By now they've already stolen, copied, and were handed over just about all the tech IP they needed, and they also had time to work with it and develop the expertise over the past few years, often helped by their (forced) American "venture partners".

This whole thing actually started because of American corporations' greed, which wanted to make even more billions of dollars in profit every year by moving their factories to China. If that wouldn't have happened, China may not be in the position it is today.

I think they already do have measures to prevent mass downvoting, flagging, vote rings etc. Dang would know more.

Downvotes might be because your trope one liner put downs aren't adding much. "I thought the western world was immune to communism", "This place is dear to me and now theyre destroying it", what because we're exposed to views different to ours? Which "they"? Who is to say whatever downvotes you've caught aren't entirely from Western pro-capitalists?

As someone not of Asian heritage who has been active in Hong Kong related threads, has friends there, and supports the demonstrators, I can say to my eyes, it is _not_ predominated by pro CCP people. I've certainly had a discussion or two, disagreements, a different view of how history played out - they get their spin from media, we get ours. There's a few people with a distinct perspective. It's always useful to hear the opposing view, or evidence you're mistaken, even if you never reach agreement.

Since 5g is technology with not much utility that nobody but the telcos want, that is probably wise on their part.
