No position is so strong as it seems.

Remember Yahoo, Nokia, Motorola, Kodak. Invincible leaders at some point.

Look at today's Intel or Boeing decline. Apple is also not as nearly as strong as it seems. There is Android competition in software and many bigger brands in hardware.

Things can change anytime even without a regulation.
This assumes that the states that fund pensions and "bureaucracy" (which is a term that often is used for gov spending regardless of efficiency) are not desirable places to live in general (sometimes as a result of spending).

Record jobs gain of 4.8m in June smashes expectations
Yeah, I think the biggest risk would be rigging an election, but we’re talking about a country of 1.2 million people. Not to dismiss the importance of their elections on Estonia, it doesn’t really have the same worldwide ramifications that compromising a US, UK, German, etc. election would have.
I think you more or less wrote, "I don't really like the idea of Free Speech, but I've been told my whole life that it's important, so I'm looking for a way to resolve this dissonance."

The reason I'm not in search of better arguments is that I don't have any dissonance to resolve. (I realize that sounds snarky but I don't actually mean it to be flippant. That's genuinely what it looks like to me. No snark intended!)
DataCamp is a shady operation in my experience. I have no problem with the quality of the content, however I have personally experienced issues trying to work with them as a contractor and also have heard stories of similar issues from other candidate content authors. In short, they have no qualms about asking for content from authors in advance as a recruiting tactic and then telling the authors to take a hike. Of course, they keep the content as their intellectual property as use it as they wish.
The problem with more equal systems is that no one has that immense power to do good. So you end up needing to solve huge coordination problems that historically we are very bad at in order to achieve such projects. Governments have a bad track record of achieving such things relative to the private sector and they seem to be the best vehicle available for said coordination problems.
I was once approached to develop a darknet market. I spent a few weeks scoping out the work, unpaid, before I turned down the opportunity due to the legal and ethical problems.

I did spend that time pondering and scoping out the work because I found it a fascinating challenge to design an ecommerce platform with very heavy requirements for user privacy and anonymity.

The source code for an existing platform that I was granted access to view showed me that a lot of encryption techniques were just smoke and mirrors. Mostly, everything was stored unencrypted or using symmetric encryption with the encryption key stored on the same filesystem as the server generating the pages.

It was fun designing an asymetric multi-key encryption system, where a user's "second password" with a hash (stored with a microservice API on another server in another data center) generated one of the multiple keys required. Even server seizure wouldn't result in anything usable.

Another challenge was how to prevent servers from being overwhelmed with DDoS attacks. That would have been achieved by using the Tor API to generate custom onion addresses for each user and vendor that they could bookmark. The only site that could be DDoS'd would be the landing page. It also allowed for an easy route to horizontal scaling.

The old system also didn't properly delete stuff, it just flipped a boolean "deleted" field to prevent it from being visible anymore... Not very smart for data hygiene.

I've been wanting to use what I planned out to build a product for the last few years, but I can't think of anything legal & legitimate that would have such strict security requirements that also has potential for profitability.

The city taxes are based upon the number of days you spend in NYC above a minimum (14-days). If you work from home from a different city / state, you won't pay city tax if you never travel to NYC.
Let me put it this way.

Is the reason why a 1 bed room house price in SF is 5 times or more higher than that of a similar house in Kiev or Bangalore because it's 5x+ the quality?

No. It's mainly because the supply of housing cant keep up with the demand.

As you can see, the housing price started to drop as more and more companies are going remote.
I've lived in NYC for nearly 10 years, have no plans to leave, and would really, really welcome a rent or apartment price reduction. However, I've been promised this magical thing every time there's some sort of disaster or terrorist attack and it never seems to happen! Curious!

Sarcasm aside, when we will we start to hold people like this accountable for the implicit and explicit predictions that are so easy to make? How can we even evaluate if this ever came to pass?
To expand on this:

Several of my coworkers who moved from the Bay Area still pay CA taxes for stocks that were granted before they moved, which means potentially 4 years of paying taxes for two separate states.

On the plus side, their CA tax bracket is much lower, since they don't have salary / bonus / new stock grants.
Oneplus?

You're saying that Google has a plan to intentionally subvert their published privacy policy, and act which if discovered would end the company's existence, and that some engineer on the project wrote and another reviewed this change, that none of the dozens of privacy zealots in their internal privacy org[1] have managed to notice, and that the people who operate 8.8.8.8, some of whom are just as privacy-deranged as anyone you've ever met, and who collectively own a disturbing number of fedoras, kilts, and unicycles, who are the biggest nerds you've ever seen, happily run this service 24x7 without blowing the whistle?

Thats the crux of so many world problems.

Actually addressing them, in the name of human survival and/or universal human dignity? Means a bunch of Northern-Hemisphere, Western, mostly European-descended people have to give up on a host of conveniences. Some of these conveniences are minor, some are major.

It's hard to say if people would be starving without food assistance. Hopefully we won't experiment to find out. But just looking at the number of students who get free lunches in the US based upon their income levels is astounding. According to [0], the two main programs feed 32 MILLION free meals a day.

The eligibility requirements for a free meal are <130% of the poverty level for the household. That's a household income (for a family of three) of $27500.

There are caveats as mentioned in this thread, but in general, no you do not pay CA taxes if you live in another state and your company's HQ is in CA.
Another classic case: the fall of the USSR. Gorbachev's Peristroika was not meant to collapse the country. It was meant to open the country up and grow its economy, much like what China did. Neither the leadership of the USSR nor apparently US or NATO intelligence thought the USSR was about to collapse.

I personally think the US is much closer to collapse and fragmentation than anyone would suspect. If a time traveler told me I'd be living the Pacific States of America (PSA) in 2035 and that this new nation would maintain a NATO-like alliance with Canada and Mexico, I would not be terribly shocked.

Things can be more fragile than they appear and definitely more fragile than their designers and operators think.

One more non-political case that comes to mind is the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7, a building that was not hit by a plane and is a frequent topic of controlled demolition conspiracy theories. A large fire broke out in the building apparently fueled by diesel fuel that was being stored on site. That should not have caused the building to collapse, but it did. Maybe the building wasn't as strong as people thought either because of a design flaw or corners cut during construction. I once read an analysis that ended "moral of the story? If there's a large fire in a modern multi-story office building, you might want to stand back."
First is whether you can trust it, second yes, their privacy states that they don't log IP, and frankly with dynamic IP it isn't really that much valuable anyway. The other information together can tie that to you as a person. Combined with other information that you are disclosing when using their services (since their policy changed many years ago, to allow sharing data between their services) they know exactly who you are and what you're doing on the net.

I really don't understand why those DNS services are so popular. All you need is list of 13 root DNS servers[1] (you only need one, but 13 for resiliency) and a recursive resolver and you can run your own caching server.

I personally find generating trash in any quantity to be offensive, and the idea of plastic floating around in the ocean disgusts me. Some will call it irrational but that doesn't mean there's not a need.

That's right. Although based on some quick Googling Jeff Bezos owns 11% of Amazon which has a market cap of $1.4 trillion. So Bezos has generated about $1.2 trillion of wealth for other people.
> again taxpayers basically just paid for 8 weeks of your payroll

Sorry, I don't really understand why this is a problem. The alternative would be laying those people off and paying them via unemployment anyways, right? The idea was to keep people tied to their employers and keep otherwise productive businesses in tact in order to enable a quicker recovery. Digging into today's jobs numbers confirms this was largely successful: the bounce in employment was mostly ended furloughs.

> people just formed businesses made up salaries and got a free 8 weeks of said salary

Now you're just making shit up. Businesses had to exist prior to February 15, 2020 and the amount received is computed based upon payrolls from Jan 1 to Feb 15 2020. If people are doing this, they are putting a lot of effort into intentional fraud and are 100% going to end up in jail.

One of the points that debates about healthy vs processed miss is that processed food is selling convenience.

A bag of spinach lasts about a week, fresh meat a few days. Meanwhile a retort pouch of chili or curry lasts forever and doesn't even need to be refridgerated. There are unprocessed foods that last almost forever like dried lentils, rice and oats but most people don't want to eat those things (or at least not for every meal).

What do poor people tend to eat? Fast food burgers and other high calorie, low cost meals that are readily available. No prep/cook time, minimal cost (at least on the surface) and hot and palatable to most.

As someone who cooks all my food from raw ingrediants, that's absolutely a luxury but it's not a money expensive one, it's a time/management/availability luxury.

I'm not an economist or finance person, so I don't know why we really ended up where we are. I think a lot of people in this thread, and most of the non-investment-wealthy people in the US, would say it's because of lobbying and so forth to let the rich get richer. That may be true. But I am open to the idea that research and modeling points to this being good overall even if it appears to be (or: is) unfair to 'average' Americans.

I'd like to see some (comprehensible to a layperson) discussion about what would happen if all income - wages, tips, gifts, inheritance, interest, dividends, capital gains, etc. etc. - was treated dollar for dollar equally from a tax perspective. I don't understand why it couldn't be, or why it shouldn't be.

>because you want people to stay home

You want most people to stay at home. You want the ones who can work from home to do so. You want your essential workers to go to work.

Imagine you have three workers each earning $30K p/a; that's about the 24th percentile for a household in the U.S.

One loses their job as a result of covid-19. One can work from home but loses some hours (incomes reduces to $25K p/a). One has to continue working because they're designated as essential.

The first worker actually increases their income, because the $600 per week on top of their state unemployment insurance is quite a lot more than their salary. Let's assume they decide to stay safely at home.

The second worker suffers a reduction in income, but can stay safely at home.

The third worker continues to earn the same, but is exposed to the risks of (e.g.) a public transport commute, being in the workplace and maybe having to face off to the general public.

There is clearly a social equity issue of the government compensating people who are 'inessential' and unable to work from home at level above making them whole, while doing nothing for the others.

From the "open letter" to the co-directors of the Berlin Film Festival:

"We are obligated to reserve our judgment of the project as a whole — but we are within our rights to discuss DAU. Natasha, which is competing as an individual title."

"At the time when Harvey Weinstein is found guilty of sex crimes, in an era marked by the struggle against the culture of violence and abuse in the film industry, does the Berlinale see any ethical issues in screening a film that (by its own authors’ stark admission) contains scenes of real psychological and physical violence against non-professional actors, as well as unsimulated sex between people under the influence of alcohol?

In the festival directors’ opinion, would such a film be possible to exhibit if it were created in the so-called First World — for instance, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, or the U.S. — and used on-screen talent from these countries?"

(emphasis mine: "a film that (by its own authors’ stark admission) contains scenes of real psychological and physical violence against non-professional actors")
