There are side channels and there are side channels. A computer fan outputting noise is a side channel that indicates both that a computer is running and may indicate something about the workload, but if you are close enough to hear it, you are close enough to do a lot more than listen to the fan noise so there is no real more in suppressing it.

Isolated processes being able to determine the memory or computation of another process is something else altogether and surley could be mitigated, even if the mitigation comes at a cost.
Yes, the wealthy will always find loopholes to shield some fraction of their wealth from taxation. I don't recall the exact source (and it's a nightmare to search for), but I read that the maximum effective tax rate, historically, is somewhere in the ballpark of 30% as a result of that behavior. (I would welcome a link if anyone recognizes this argument.)

Seen through that lens, applying higher statutory rates and more complex policies isn't driven by the realistic expectation that those rates will be paid in full. Rather, as some number of the very wealthy will fail to perfectly adjust to the new regime, even small increases in the rate collected are substantial increases in the absolute dollar amount.

Meanwhile, you can create a billion dollars with a few keystrokes at the Federal Reserve.

It's really about who has power to control the economy of the country: private individuals or the banks and the government. It used to be way over on the private individual side before the fed and the income tax flipped power over to the banks and the government side. Previously, you had Carnegie and Rockefeller running very large portions of the economy and the banks and government were much less powerful.

Today it's govetnment borrowing and the banks that make most of the money. Yes, the banks create money. It's called fractional reserve banking and the money multiplier and it's all legal all totally out in the open. Keynesian economists will tell you that the banks are the most important organizations in the entire economy because they create money to increase aggregate demand.

Meanwhile in China, the government prints money whenever it needs it and tells the banks what to do and who to lend to and they haven't had a credit bust since the 80s, even though The Economist has regularly been predicting one since the early 90s.
Right. That is a subjective personal decision, and absolutely understandable. To accomplish that, one has to stay at home, though. Even sedentary modes of transport expose their inhabitants to pollution, unfortunately.

An obscene and thoroughly unconstitutional (Article I, Section 9) move.

The wealthy pay an incredible amount of tax - Cuomo just said that a single percent of New Yorkers pay half of the entire tax take.

That may be good and just - it may even be right to increase that share - but to slap a retroactive tax on their POST-TAX wealth is heinous.

This is before we get into practicalities... if I recall correctly, nonpartisan modelling of Warren's wealth tax plan would've levied tax rates over 100% on certain people, and been incredibly inefficient (the cost of collecting the money, all said, negated a good portion of the takings... much more than any existing tax targeted at the wealthy does).

Class war greed. It should be opposed. IMHO.
> Beyond our thorough analysis of these previous works, we
also demonstrate new attacks enabled by understanding the root cause, namely an address-translation attack in more restricted contexts, direct leakage of register values in certain scenarios, and the first end-to-end Foreshadow (L1TF) exploit targeting non-L1 data. The latter is effective even with the recommended Foreshadow
mitigations enabled and thus revives the Foreshadow attack.

In software, remote work is way more productive in my experience working remotely for the last almost seven years. It's a win win. More productivity and way better working conditions (home office, nice desk etc.). Less hours needed to finish. Easier to concentrate. Easier to deal with bad bosses or co-workers or take time out and breaks during the day. More flexible schedule. Much less stress. The pros go on and on. The only negative for work is promotions and visibility, but when everyone's remote, even that works itself out.

Different assemblies with the same assembly name, namespace and class? Use an extern alias (which is how different versions of the same assembly can be used if necessary): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-refe...

Different assemblies with different assembly names but same namespace and class? Just use the fully qualified type name (and alias it for a shorter name).

Single assembly/project and namespace with the same class in multiple files? If you're just spreading out the code then use partial classes, otherwise why would you define the same type twice?

C# (and other languages) that use virtual namespaces can do everything that file-based namespaces can do, but also support many more scenarios.
Not a direct answer, but my original account has been broken into, the password has been changed, and the poster is making bad comments. Not sure how to handle that.
Which should be carefully weighed up against the costs of the policy (namely collection costs, think about how you value art and stocks and who is going to do that, and how... and when it's valued... and what incentives that produces for the owner...).

Not to mention the "trust" aspect for those who are wealthy. It will guarantee preemptive shielding and other arrangements which ultimately just add further mud to the US economic system. Not worth a fistful of dollars to be frittered away on general expenditure anyway. IMHO.

>As for the human rights, if you are associated with CCP and are in support of it, from the moral standpoint there's no ground for treating you according to the Declaration of Independence, and not according to the Marxist norms declared in the CCP Constitution.

I'm not sure if "you" is referring to me specifically or to people in general. I definitely am not associated with CCP and I definitely don't support it. But there is a moral ground for treating CCP supporters according to the Declaration of Independence. It says "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights". It doesn't say "all men who agree with my politics are created equal, [...]".

We should hold ourselves to our own standard. We shouldn't hold ourselves to our opponent's standard.

No, it's equal and fair.

Bernie owns a range of houses, and my understanding is his capital gains will be levied equally on any/all of them. Which is fair.

Some people like collecting houses, some like collecting stocks, some like spending on holidays. Differential taxation is an inefficient activity that conjures very perverse incentives.

> Amazon and Walmart, for example, have both seen their stocks grow as Americans increasingly relied on their services during stay-at-home orders during the pandemic.

Jeff Bezos through Amazon and the Walton family through Wal-Mart did more to help me and my family, and I suspect most Americans, get through the coronavirus than Bernie Sanders, Ed Markey, and Kirsten Gillibrand.

Businesses that solve the massive logistics problems of operating in a pandemic and provided needed goods to consumers should be rewarded. I am not any worse off that Bezos' and the Walton's stock value increased because of this. In fact, I am better off.

It requires some knowledge of the area, but I think it is possible to at least route around the worst air in polluted cities.

Of all the things I thought I'd see on hackernews tonight, "Covid is fake" wasn't one of them.

The linchpin of this article is that the Germany death numbers are not substantially different: that is, Germany has not had excess deaths due to the virus when compared to death numbers from last year. Unfortunately, this is the worst possible conclusion you could draw from that graph. Germany went into lockdown, and had people stay home and social distance. Consider, for example, that Germany's traffic deaths are the lowest they have been in 100 years[1]. Influenze has spread less extensively, people have died less from violent crimes, and other, similar phenomena have all occurred as a result of their lockdown. In spite of all of that, Germany has still hit their average death number.

What could possibly explain this? Maybe, I dunno, the pandemic?!

Well, the thing is that I'm not forcing you to use my instance. If I tried to prevent you from saying specific things on all instances then I would call it censorship. But as long as you can go elsewhere for your speech, it's not censorship, it's free speech, just like it's a free market of ideas.

You seem to be confused and think that free speech means everyone has to listen to your speech, otherwise it is censorship. Before the internet and connectivity, people were perfectly free to stand on a soapbox and say their speech, just as everyone around them as free to ignore them, ostracize them or throw rocks at them. Censorship requires things to be surpressed or prohibited but I alone on my mastodon instance cannot prohibit or surpress these things on my own. I can ban them on my instance but people can go elsewhere, so the speech is neither prohibited nor surpressed, just not welcome in this place.

Censorship largely, IMO, can only be done by the government or large corporations like Facebook. It is censorship when speech is forbidden that has no other place to go.

On the other hand, racism and hatespeech should be censored, they're not welcome and this "sunlight is the best desinfectant" bs people like to repeat like it's a bible quote doesn't help.
Actually, there are plenty of parallels. So yes, if you only own the home you are living in, there should be a protection against taxation. Once you own more than the home you are living in, that property should be fully taxable, as far as property by itself is taxable (some countries don't have property taxes, other have small property taxes to exactly avoid the problems of this bill).

With stocks it is the same. If you own a wide-range portfolio as an investment, this could be taxed of course, but with the people listed in the article, they own those shares not because they miraculously got rich and bought these shares with their money, they got the shares because they founded and built their respective companies. They hold to their shares not for capital gains, but to keep control of their companies. In this respect it is very much like the house you own.

Not to mention the disruption to the stock market, if suddenly stock in the value several hundred of billions of dollars get sold - this would especially hit the non-billionaires, that is everyone who has some savings (for retirement for example).
Probably not super relevant, but lithium can interact dangerously with other psychoactive substances, particularly lysergamides. Would suck to end up hospitalized behind you had a glass of tap water during a trip.

Of course the number of psychedelic users probably isn't enough to care, I wonder if there are other, perhaps prescription drugs that could interact poorly with lithium.
Exposure to pollution caused by cars and other vehicles is strongly correlated with asthma.[0] I'm glad you mention CO2, which does cause global warming, we might want to try to fix that too before it is too late?

Carbon Fibre is expensive and irrelevant, and fires from it even more so, unless you want to minimise the impact of oil based cars on health in cities. Most popular EVs don't use it.

Traffic is a major source of particulates (20-30%) [1] so reducing it would help a lot, in particular diesel cars and trucks, though yes some things like rubber from tyres would only be helped by traffic reduction, simply switching to EVs would help a lot.

Moving to walking, bikes and public transport for most journeys in cities is the sustainable answer I suspect we'll end up at, and from that future our reliance on individual polluting cars will seem insane. It would require a rethink of some city planning of course, but many people happily live without cars in Europe at the moment.

Exactly. This law could wipe out the company Tesla. With all jobs attached.
Actually, Bill Gates should not have had the opportunity to amass as much money as he did because the US government should have broken up Microsoft a long time ago for anti-competitive behavior and abusing their monopoly positions dating back to at least the early 90's and maybe the late 80's.

It is much better to aggressively enforce anti-trust than to increase the taxes afterward on the CEO's who benefited from such lax enforcement.

I’ve travelled to many places around Japan, never once has anyone told me that Osaka wasn’t in Japan.

There are lots of stereotypes about people coming from various cities/regions in Japan (Tokyo: cold, Kyoto: indecipherable, Osaka: uneducated/rude, Hokkaido: weird, Okinawa: lazy, etc.), but Osaka not in Japan? Never once.

Carl Weiman would like to have a word with you. Ahahaa.
Basically, because alcohol is no joke. The amount of personal tragedy it produces year by year is staggering [1]. Yet as a society we currently decide it to be worth the costs and shift the responsibility to the individual: "drink responsibly". So when someone tells you "my responsible behavior is to not drink", I find it quite reprehensible for you to answer "I know better, you should drink anyway".

[1] Also speaking from personal experience, unfortunately. Yet it is hard to get a good feeling for how may lives it impacts, because cold statistics [2] don't resonate properly, and many stories occurring in you personal circle are deemed family matters or similar. It's only when you open up with your own problems / problems of people close you, that others open up as well.

[2] Edit to add: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/... - "Prevalence of lifetime and 12-month alcohol abuse was 17.8% and 4.7%; prevalence of lifetime and 12-month alcohol dependence was 12.5% and 3.8%."

Pipenv tries to do so much (e.g. a pipenv command involve poking around procfs to detect shell via shellingham to display colors), used to introduce breaking changes between releases (before they switched the scheme to CalVer), and takes a really long time between each releases (longer for bugs to get fixed).

Most people that switched from Pipenv to Poetry were probably done so during the end of 2018 throughout 2019, of which Pipenv has no releases at all[1] (non-alpha/beta version were only released in November 2018 then May 2020).

There were a rant from few years ago[2][3] regarding other issues (performance, etc.).

How is that a bad thing? That would decentralize control of these companies. That alone would be a good thing.
My experience from Common Lisp development:

The main downside is that it's easy to make your image out of sync with your code. That is, the state of the image during development (global variables and their values, functions, classes, environment settings) may end up different than what you'd have if you restarted the image and reloaded the code into it - which can lead to an unexpected cascade of bugs the next time you restart the image.

In practice, you can guard against it with unit and integration tests, as well as just reading warnings the compiler gives you.

Still, I don't think being image-based will help C++ as long as templates work the way they do - templates are code generators, so each time you change one, you have to recompile all its potential users. The way CL implementations tend to work, "building the image" is similar to C++'s linking process - i.e. whenever a Lisp file is compiled, the compilation output is cached, so it can be loaded quicker if the file didn't change. But if you change a widely-used macro, you end up having to recompile almost everything from scratch, which is similar to C++ and changes to header files.
I'm not surprised that Facebook is biased towards conservatives. That's the only way that kind of information could spread. If it was penalized, almost all that information would be removed. It's just conspiracy theories and lies. Doesn't bode well for the election that they are doing this right before, clearly to influence and spread the misinformation. Yes, they just want their ad dollars at the expense of the entire society. Hopefully they'll be broken up at some point before they drive a wedge through our society. I doubt other social media has a better track record.
Sure, a notable recent example is Politifact labeling Biden's comments that busing would turn schools into a "racial jungle" as "half true", even though the statement was actually stated by him and is on record. [1]

There's an entire website dedicated to their bias. [2]

Another obvious point of bias was Politifact labeling a statement by Trump that "CNN did a poll where Obama and I are tied" as "pants on fire" because it was "one poll" (he never stated otherwise). [3]
