> If carbon is used in the making of it, then it's X% tax.

That gets tricky - how much carbon was used in manufacturing an iPhone, a toy truck or that shrimp of questionable origin from a fast food place?

Every participant in that chain has an incentive to under-report their emission to make the final price more palatable. The larger the manufacturing sector, the larger the incentive to under-report and cover up any issues at the national level.
Where is this demand you speak of because I have only had jobs building features for Incident Response or being a “DevOps Engineer” that implements secure pipeline, docker, logging, artifact repo scanning...

The need for App Sec is there as far as I’m concerned the demand is non existent... even though most red teams could make them cry.
This is my biggest concern and I never see it addressed.

Yes, Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit would estimate a star around 1.5-2.5 sun masses could result in a stellar black hole.

> the wealthy absolutely emit more carbon then everyone else

Probably true, but probably not proportionally so. If you are 10x, 100x or 1000x as wealthy as me, you are probably not emitting 10x, 100x or 1000x more carbon than me. This makes an emission tax still disproportionate in some sense.
I think that this essay is fundamentally brilliant, but doesn't come out and yell the self-evident truth: the ONLY way this ever takes off is if Github does it.

And man, do I ever hope that they do.

There's no other entity in the ecosystem that even approaches the role Github plays, with all due respect to Gitlab and the rest of the also-rans. It'd be wonderful if they did the same thing, but in the end, they are going to be the contrarian 2%.

It's important to remember that GH sponsors isn't even out of beta, yet - you still have to apply and make sure that all of your tax docs are in order.

One small proposal I'd make is that I suggest Sponsors and Pool could exist happily in parallel. I believe that there's a meaningful difference between being the patron of a developer and feeling like you're backing a creator with feelings and a story and a family... and wanting to be a good citizen that has an approved list of projects that I benefit from and want to support.

I can sponsor Matz, get his updates and feel good about knowing I am counted as a supporter AND set aside $$$ per month to contribute to all of the tools I use in my projects simply because it's the right thing to do and I want those projects to exist for the long term. They are completely different initiatives. Patreon vs Humble Bundle, if you will.

Perhaps most critically, Github could keep absorbing the cost of processing payments to sponsored developers but also announce that they plan to hold back 3% of your monthly pool amount to cover CC processing fees. I think most people would be more than fine with this.

But if Github isn't on board, this is all just speculative fiction. Please, if you work at Github, make this happen.
this is literally the exact same reason delicious had tags.

i had a text file of the format "url #notes\n" and the notes were pretty short. so i'd write "url #wifi #linux" or whatever.

so a friend asked, "have you heard of this wifi thing?" and i said "yes, here's everything i collected" and just did 'grep \#wifi links' and pasted it to him.

this later became tagging in muxway and then delicious.

Ted Kazinski was concerned that high energy particle physics would create a blackhole large enough to become self sustaining. If I remember correctly, high energy physics creates tiny black holes during particle collisions, but they "evaporate" faster than they can absorb mass.

So to answer your question with my limited understanding, yes, there's a lower limit to stable black holes. Beyond the critical mass, they simply evaporate in a matter of seconds.
> However, this creates less wealth overall as work is no longer given to where it’s done most efficiently. This breaks the primary component of capitalism.

Does it bother anyone that many of these places where the production is 'efficient,' are often not bastions of democracy? One of the biggest players is obviously the Chinese Communist Party, which literally has reeducation (and possibly forced labour) camps for certain ethnic/cultural groups.

As a security professional, most startups understandably outsource security as much as I could so long as the cost met the needs, until I had a product shipped to market and had enough users and reputation to start to care about the risk.

Good luck. I’ll stick to Incident Response and SIEM software.
But money does not create wealth. Money is just a tool of trade and a measure of the value of goods and services produced in an economy.

Airdropping money will not transform this world into a utopia where everyone is wealthy and can live without working. At the end of the day, we need plumbers, electricians, garbage men, software engineers, nurses, lawyers, etc. to maintain this civilization and this will not be changed from the top-down by inflating the money supply.

> If the work your going to be doing is useful, then why don't you do it?

For me: I am doing/learning how to do it, but I don't have capability to monetize it right now.

In general: I have personally known many people who want to have a career in X, but can't because they are working three jobs to try to house and feed themselves.

> [I]s it objectively not as useful as your current occupation?

For me: It is objectively more useful then my current occupation. I can't explain more without revealing more of my private life than I am comfortable doing here.

In general: Regardless, something being less useful then something else doesn't make it not useful. 75% is less than 100%, but is still greater than 0%.

Hi cjhveal,

This is like liquid gold to me. Thank you so much for sharing. It's been a long journey, and I'm of the typical self-studied knowledge base -- fractured, and an inch wide and a mile deep in spurious, seemingly unpredictable places that a "real" practitioner wouldn't waste time on.

There is a strange sense of depersonalization that doesn't fit traditional/vanilla DP/DR, and I'll absolutely have to take a look at the Schizoid PD and the surrounding literature. Any good sources to study to understand? Anything from articles to textbooks works for me.

Clusters B and C have been of more attention recently, as I have some overlap there, but as with everything, it seems like PDs aren't entirely discrete.

Now, you seem to be extremely well-studied on some of the intricacies of some of the PDs. Combinatorially, it could certainly be a very strong part of things. I find myself very social, generally, with interest in people and a variety of activities, but of course at times frozen in a fear response/very reclusive -- moreso than emotions might typically suggest. No traditional "hallucinatory" symptoms, though we both probably have experienced the vast gap between public perception and XYZ in some small areas or another.

Really appreciate you putting together a thoughtful response so much. I don't know whether you're a clinician, or what might have brought you into the PD neighborhood, but having another option to weigh and understand is vastly appreciated, and I was entirely unaware of the Schizoid PD before today -- I'd just thought it was a descriptor (and an odd one at that), so the expanding arena is much appreciated. If you have anything you're interested in that that you're willing to pass along, I sure would be.

Many thanks again,

B
Yes. Similarly, M with a dot in the circle is the sun.
Unlike UBI, minimum wages don't affect everyone and aren't purely inflationary. Some workers earn more gross income, some get fewer hours and earn less, and some get laid off. I think I support UBI but it clearly cannot be raised to fully compensate for every price increase.
A bond has a NPV like any other instrument. The purchase cost of a TIPS can be any price, including above coupon. TIPS are especially sensitive to interest rate risk because higher interest rates drop both the underlying asset value, and the inflation index. So it’s basically just a double-leverage T-note.

I did not say _anything_ about "the market". "Society" is not the same as "the market". I'm talking more about the need to productively occupy people's free time so as to not let them spend it on harmful bullshit instead.

Work should absolutely NOT be a choice. If it is, easily 90% of people will never get off their couch, because why the fuck bother, and you can't survive on the productivity of the remaining 10%. I know because I'm one of those people, and so is my wife (who currently spends easily 8 hours a day scrolling through Instagram and watching Netflix). Eventually you will run out of other people's money. Not only that, but it'd also destroy people psychologically and make them feel worthless.

Work should be a requirement for all people who are able to work. Again, clearly the amount of time we currently spend on work is unreasonable. At present, if you work you can't properly raise children. This is fucked up. But to make it a "choice" is a clear path to societal decay and eventually unrest.

Even communist societies understood that: "from each according to his ability" doesn't mean what people think it does - it means that if you're able to work, you must work. In the USSR it was, in fact, against the law to not be employed if you're able.

I also believe that, at some point, Ruby _will_ support RBS/steep format in the source code, but the advantage to something like .rbs files is that projects that need to support 2.x and 3.x don’t have to maintain two different versions of the code.
Sure, but I think it’s somewhat dubious to be immediately suspicious of any successful business model that changes the basic assumptions. Once you start enshrining “this is how we’ve always done it” into law and policy you basically outlaw innovation and start operating in a prohibited-unless-explicitly-allowed rather than allowed-unless-explicitly-prohibited mode.

This is a very interesting question. With everyone fabbing at TSMC (amd, nvidia, apple, google?, amazon?, aspiring startups) I could see a bidding war for volume guarantees if there is a volume problem going forward. Some of these players have deeper pockets and margins than others.
It's literally cheaper to simply give everyone a $1,200 check than it is to try and create rules that exclude people based upon some criteria.

That is how the welfare program operates today. It's expensive to manage and at its current position not inclusive enough which then leaves a number of people worse off when you are just above the cut-off.
People behaving like you are the ones exacerbating the pandemic. You're essentially defending and propagating the exact behavior that led to the experience you describe.

> So that 32,000 morbidly obese octogenarians could die with the best-possible PR spin

You have to know that that characterization isn't accurate. You chose a group who you think deserve to die more than you do, which says a lot about your degree of selfishness. But many other people that aren't in that group have also died. What about them? Sounds like you're trying to fool yourself to avoid cognitive dissonance.

One of my best friends is an academic economist working in this space, so while I won’t pretend to be an expert, I have spent a goodly amount of time discussing this with one.

With no disrespect intended to you personally, this policy you propose makes no sense. Without putting words in your mouth, it looks to me like “two things I as a progressive like the idea of”, rather than a coherent economic policy.

Carbon taxes unquestionably fall hardest on the poor, as do consumption taxes generally. Everything from the products purchased by the poor to their modes of transport are more carbon-intensive than the rich.

With respect to UBI, the amount of revenue needed to sustain anything other than a token payment is orders of magnitude more than a carbon tax could ever hope to raise. It’s orders of magnitude more than could ever be raised by any realistic tax, actually, but that’s rather beside the point.

It’s fine to like UBI and it’s fine to like carbon taxes, but acting as though either of them would have a significant positive economic impact is completely unsupported by either theory or evidence, and there’s certainly no reason to link them as part of a single policy.

Hi @nikita, good to reconnect.

When you say an array and not a hash table, do you just mean a simple perfect hash table indexed by the offset of the dictionary id? We use this fairly extensively for inputs of bounded domain (i.e. dictionary-encoded strings, moderately-sized integer ranges, even binned values, numeric or timestamp), but call it a perfect hashing. Assume we're talking about the same thing but wanted to clarify.
Tax it on the border?
Money isn't wealth, money is just a common & convenient representation of wealth. You don't need to look into people's paychecks to see wealth. You can see wealth in the buildings and streets, in health and technology and culture.

People work tirelessly to create & improve that, and you can see that society is improving bit by bit. That's not an illusion.

Stagnant wages likely signify an actual problem in valuation worth fixing, but it's silly to solve that by being less productive. Lowering total productivity may generate lower surplus value for greedy employers, but it's a weak revenge. You still earn less than you should, and society is poorer for it. There are many other ways to address the root issue.
Those examples save us minutes but don’t make humans more free or happier or safer. Better examples would be increased lifespans and lower infant mortality. Stuff that ties into the standard of living definition. Which is the point: our standard of living has not increased at the same rate as productivity.

Well, that is really strange because I'm fairly sure data centers are distributed around the world instead of being centered in Singapore. APAC peering and bandwidth costs are extremely high compared to EU/NA.
In Europe and Australia, all those jobs get done and the people doing them get fairly compensated for it. For example, the pay for a garbage truck driver is actually quite high, because it's an unpleasant job and they need to attract people to do it. And because the salary is high, it's also heavily automated, with pickers that grab bins and empty them into the truck.

Meanwhile, in Southeast Asia, the same job is done by three people, two of whom jog outside next to the vehicle in the sweltering heat and manually empty the bins into it. They're breaking their backs and get paid like crap.
The pollution problems with bunker fuel are primarily local and short-lived, however, whereas CO2 emissions spread through the entire atmosphere and stay there for a very long time.

I don't know how the numbers work out but I imagine there are enough people using property as an investment that the above could be implemented with an exception for 1 single family home per tax household, and still generate a lot of money.

I agree it sucks to force people out of their primary residence, even if they would be nicely compensated. But residential property should be more focused on the residential part than it is these days.
