> But you're not including any other taxes required to run the federal government

I'm also not including any other non-income sources of taxes that are already levied. I'm also assuming that there is 0 overlap between a UBI and existing taxes required to run the federal government. Both of those are false.

> you're also handwaving away the effects of a 97% tax rate. Tax rates would have to increase even more just to counteract the fall in government revenues from enacting such high tax rates as every high earner starts figuring out how to structure their income to avoid such taxes or just gives up earning extra income altogether.

> Imagine what a 97% tax rate would mean in practice. Someone offers you $100 to do a half an hour of work. Now you're now making $3 for your efforts. In order to earn $30 for an hour of your time you now need to charge your customer $1000.

There's no hand-waving, this kind of marginal tax rate is not unprecedented. Post-WW2, the marginal tax rate was 90%. As long as the progressive tax brackets maintain an increase in net income, we at least wouldn't have a disincentive to work more, which is an important characteristic to maintain. If you think 97% is too high of a marginal tax rate, you can make the income tax more flat (more akin to EU states today), and achieve similar outcomes.

And again, this is the worst case, because it assumes that there is 0 revenue from other existing sources (which I did not include), and that we would somehow have a generous Medicaid, Medicare, EITC, CTC, Food Stamps, SNAP, and Social Security on top of a UBI, which doesn't make sense. And also assumes that the UBI indiscriminately applies to everyone, including children. A $29,000 per person UBI would mean that a family of 4 would receive $116,000, which is an unreasonably generous UBI.

I've taken a preposterously generous system with a singular source of tax revenue, and shown that you would get to levels of income taxation that existed post-WW2 to fund that.

I used to share that thought, and I have a font that hangs around called Modded Palatinx that contains a few improvements from the days when it was more important to me that my system be right, than that it be compatible. But nowadays, it looks a bit weak compared to other serifs - more of an acknowledgement of serifs without their meat. It's possible that hi res screens has made me think differently. I'm not sure.

(But in any case, the standard Computer Modern Roman is not my cup of tea. I like more rounded fonts, but its serifs are too strong and dominate the shape.)

Your perspective is skewed, and the example is arguably irrelevant. It’s not difficult to find examples where the situation is far worse than the US.

I love this paragraph from the pizza arbitrage article, link below.

If capitalism is driven by a search for profit, the food delivery business confuses the hell out of me. Every platform loses money. Restaurants feel like they're getting screwed. Delivery drivers are poster children for gig economy problems. Customers get annoyed about delivery fees.

It's disheartening that there's so much due diligence required just to conduct the most basic transactions right now. I have a narrow list of vetted restaurants, where I understand the costs and to the business, the delivery model, the safety (food handling and Covid precautions), and I only take out from these particular places. I tried a new place recently, only to find out I had been duped by Grub-hub, even though I thought I had placed the order on the restaurant's own site (or so I thought). When I went to pickup, the owner set me straight and gave me his card with the correct number. He showed me that I had paid an additional $25 in markup, as well as the fees he was charged, and this was a pickup!

> “If a customer calls to place a coffee order, we’re paying a $6.42 fee — for a coffee.”

This is wrong ! Plain and simple.
$6.42 is probably more than the cost of the coffee.

Here are somethings you as a consumer can do to help,

1. If possible visit the restaurant personally, and order to go

2. Find the restaurant's phone number on their website / Facebook / Instagram / twitter page.

3. Leave a tip

I've found that yelp / google phone numbers can be in-accurate or lead to a proxy number.

BCH does have a significant amount of hashrate. A 51% attack being possible is one thing, it being profitable is another.

> The wetware component enforcing some line length - some old maintainer stuck in his ways

You need to be more specific about what you're referring to when you bring something up. I already stated that email clients can be set to use longer line lengths. Are you aware that the default line length for hard-wrapped emails is 72 characters, not 80? It shouldn't take 4 posts for you to be specific enough for one to get what you're referring to and then basically ignoring the point I already brought up pertaining to that issue.

> You're incorrect, it's a problem on wider screens as well

Given the level of nesting in this sub-thread, the large amount of blank screen space to the left of the post is not posing any issues in terms of readability. I'd rather avoid "embarrasing line wrap" due to hard wrapped lines that are too long for the display. Also, the format=flowed option has solved this issue.

> Again, that's an issue caused by non-HTML e-mail

I assume you're aware of the problems caused by HTML email where people end up getting phished because of the anchor element with the hfref property set to make the link look like a legitimate website like their bank? Email should be plain text only. Leave the HTML to the web browsers.

> That's not the issue, your network's QoS is bad.

If the QOS was bad, then email and IRC would not work. They still do on the slow downstream and upsstream connection. And even if your claim of QoS was true, that doesn't explain why I experience the same issue on my mobile with a GPRS connection.
Thorough and satisfying explanation.
I meant that LE is largely not accepting any blame right now. That's a signal for protest not to deescalate.

But since you mention that, cops do not have to be heavy handed. Training around handling mental health helps. Training around de-escalation helps. Not being a murdering racist helps. Body cameras work.

If the guns were the main reason, we'd see similar reactions every time a group of open-carry white protesters show up on the streets. They're not treated the same way though.

I think that would be a disingenuous argument from Google. Google is directly receiving the analytics data and then feeding only a portion of it to the website. They know that users are easily confused and don't fully understand that one Google product doesn't respect another Google product's "privacy" settings. Most of them probably don't even know what Google Analytics is or how Google makes money by tracking them.

How should we have read this sentence?

Why couldn't you have instead said, "You decided you were better off without a shitty abusive police officer, fine, call me or other police instead." ?
If a false positive in threat identification means killing an innocent person, and a false negative means getting killed because you failed to identify and mitigate a threat, it sounds like you are saying that we must accept that an innocent person will be treated like a threat some percentage of the time in order for a police officer to have any hope of surviving the job. Is that accurate?

Edit: I am not criticizing the statement or trying to put words in your mouth, I am just making sure I understood correctly. Because you may very well be suggesting a reality that most are unable to accept. I suspect if you say yes, you’ll be downvoted. But if I have that wrong, please do correct me.

If anyone is interested in trying to work around this, I have a few ideas for how to try distinguish a real and fake cell. Temporary event "pop-up" networks should announce valid neighbouring cells.

Your baseband (radio) might expose neighbour cell data - iPhone field test menu shows the announced neighbour data.

Hypothesis is that a rogue tower will not have valid neighbour cells announced. They could try listen in for valid ones and advertise those.

A lot of the ways to detect will depend on the generation of network being spoofed - 4G networks will also advertise signalling for legacy 2G and 3G circuit switched networks. Rogue sites might not.

Smarts gets you to be upper middle class.

Taking on a lot of risk, pushing yourself to the limit gets you to be rich.
In any given group, you can’t know with certainty whether past or future looters are present; looting is an action and not a quality. It is subjective.

Is removing anti-riot barricades ‘looting’ if protesters remove them from the street and out of the control of authorities in order to exercise their right to protest?

Branding someone a rioter empowers the utterer and subjugates the one deemed rioting in your framing. You seem to think it is justified to use violence against someone because of how you perceive their actions, even if they don’t hurt people, only property. There is a subtle but distinct difference. Using force to defend yourself and others has a long precedent and is largely uncontroversial in a public context such as this. However, a citizen in public generally can’t engage someone who is running away from them as they are not in imminent danger. Unless you think they are immediately returning with a weapon, you have to let them go once they get away or chase them and perform a citizen’s arrest. Shooting a fleeing person is frowned upon by the courts. Only police have that authority.

Why then are citizens taking it upon themselves to prevent looting and rioting? Defending businesses and private property from the inside and the entryway is one thing. Chasing fleeing ‘looters’ is a situation for disaster. Besides mistaken identity, which is already causing defenders and protesters who fought looters to be detained by police while actual looters escape, there are problems with armed individuals running into crowds of undifferentiable groups of protesters, looters, and rioters. How will the defenders know when to stop beating people up? How will they know if the protester defending the person next to them from collateral damage isn’t another looter? They will see what they want to see in the situation, on both sides.

Violence is not the way. I just don’t see how property damage is a mortal harm that justifies what I’m seeing. It may not be justified to damage the property, but as an individual or small group of defenders, there is no proportionality of response that makes sense against a large group of people. To start the fight is to lose on all sides. The protest will end when it ends. Lives shouldn’t end through protest, or through its consequences. One was enough to start this one. There’s a reason people do it, even if it may have knock-on effects. That’s the point. To shutdown protest because of its intended and unintended consequences is to make a means test for our constitutional rights. It’s not tolerated well in the streets or in the courtroom.

The defenders are unknowingly or knowingly participating in a counter-protest movement against the current legitimate George Floyd protests. It is being promoted through dog whistles by the right wing. It’s actually really obvious that authoritarians aren’t wasting this crisis. They start as many fires as they put out. I’m including rioters in that last part.
