> If you have a bucket of money that isn't doing anything, then what value does it actually bring to the economy? Penalizing static value seems almost reasonable.

So now we should be penalizing unproductive assets? When did we all decide that was ok?

Based on that logic, wouldn't I be justified in draining someone's savings account in order to invest it more productively in stocks? Maybe it's ok to steal land from people if I will grow more crops on it than they will?

You can justify taking pretty much anything if you say you will use it for something more productive. What about property rights? Why should people who have played by the rules and built wealth in our society, which they were encouraged to do, then have to live in fear that their wealth might be taken from them?
Consumer protection laws generally lag behind these problems, so it might be premature to say we've given up. We have to know the problem exists, and then we have to go through the (slow) legislative process.

Fine, they can have the number of the burner phone that spends its time in my desk drawer with a dead battery, and is used for nothing but jumping through privacy-invading hoops.
I think the problem is that the "masses" would still buy the Oculus product as if nothing was wrong with it. From there, it's pretty difficult to convince people (e.g. a regulator or a judge) that your item is of no use to you anymore.

Tim Wu: A TikTok Ban Is Overdue
fwiw, facebook has gotten upset with me when i've tried this exact thing, usually demanding a phone number or email, and refusing contact info i've already provided for other sock accounts. sometimes they'll lock my socks for not acting "human" (never posting anything, no profile picture, etc). just gives me an excuse to care less about facebook in all honesty
Right so the government that already has enough money to fund all those good public services will suddenly stop funding the military to a ridiculous degree and finally use taxes for the best interest of the people?
It's a good start, though. :) And for a temporary, pop-up exhibition, it's neat to demonstrate an application for 3D printing.
Jobs are not magic resource humans can't do without.

Jobs are a temporary, unpleasant condition of having to do shit you'd rather not do, because some idiot schmucks decided wage slavery is a natural progression from outright slavery and serfdom.

Why do I or anyone need to do unpleasant work unless it fulfills irrefutably necessary needs of my community, such as agriculture, medicine, construction of shelter, raising children etc.

Building yachts, pyramids and I'd argue the majority of the 'work' being done in cities world-wide is not fulfilling communal necessities and should therefore be abandoned.

This is not some pipe dream, it is an inevitable conclusion - humans don't like living in a system where their natural desires are constantly suppressed or left unfulfilled. There'll come a 'prophet' of sorts that will explain the human condition plainly and simply, explain where humans have gone wrong for thousands of years and propose viable alternatives enabled by science and technology that will seem obvious in hindsight. It will involve humans getting to be their animal selves and live simpler, happier lives, enabled by advanced science and technology that serve human needs, not individual needs of idiot schmucks with an inferiority complex.

The vast majority of consumer spending will go directly to companies who can invest the extra profit in whatever they want (and going down the chain, their suppliers can invest their extra profit).

The percentage of savings to consumption can go down without the absolute value going down.

> We've built it so that our servers never have to see any sensitive information.

If true, this is a key selling point and should probably be somewhere near the top of the homepage. I didn't get that point from reading any of the copy.
I live in Italy and i've been hunting a 1Euro deal house since long. I've seen dozen in the last 4-5 years.
IT DOESN'T WORTH the deal!
Long story short: the property cost nothing but the entire property is very narrow, glued to other houses. But the huge disadvantage is the (compulsory investment!) cost of renovation here in Italy: at least 50,000 euros, depending on size. Could go up to 150,000. All of the properties are almost decayed, completely decrepit state. Inhabitable!
Personally, we decided to build our wooden small house (villetta di campagna) with less than 50,000.
Same here, pretty much. It's like their basic strategy has come to be:

"It's all about the funnel! Got to get more people in our hiring funnel! But wait, we don't actualy know how to evaluate them effectively and efficiently (or even how to communicate with them decently). So... let's just get a bunch of people "engaged" and see who washes up at the end. That way, we can at least tell the higher-ups that thanks to our diligent hiring process, we can go online and brag about how we only hire the top 2 percent of incoming candidates."

Fermi can blast out "Hi" with a 100GW of power and he is unlikely to be heard in Andromeda, which for all we know could be teeming with life and host to something like an Iain Banks Culture series space opera.
But the wealth tax is on top of property tax. You would most likely have to sell it off in lots (if you could) to pay the wealth taxes on it if you aren't say farming or renting it and "making money" on it rather than it just sitting there storing value.
In short, no. Facebook has gotten very good at catching and deleting "fake" accounts. Back in the day, I worked on an application that used Facebook's Graph API and I needed to create some bogus accounts for testing, but they were consistently blocked within days.

Using some combination of behaviour analysis, flagging new and/or cookie-less browsers, and (I suspect) human review FB have gone to great lengths to try and assure their customers that all humans have one and only one account under their true legal name and biographical details.
I sort of agree, the artistic element is removed. Also having them cast in fluorescent orange removes a lot of the humanity. Maybe it's a knee-jerk reaction to the novelty but it feels garish.

It definitely sets up perverse incentives. Archeological dating is difficult and easy to screw up. Incorrect yet "plausibly deniable" mistakes can get you dates far off from reliably established estimates. There's also a problem of what the end criterion is. Is just publishing a paper in a reputable journal enough? Does it need secondary confirmation, or the decade+ of debate that boundary-pushing finds like Monte Verde require to be established?
That's an income tax, not a wealth tax.
Consent is only one potential basis for processing under GDPR. There are others such as "legitimate interest" which the controller and/or processor may rely on.
Errm. No. In the same comment I am claiming that Facebook has already received a warning fine and that thus they stand to lose a lot if they are found to be in violation. I am not saying they are GDPR compliant because I can not know that with 100% certainty, but I'm sure they are doing what they can to not cross that line knowingly.

Facebook, Google, Apple & Microsoft are arguably the companies that stand the most to lose from GDPR enforcement, you can bet that they are well aware of this.
Hopefully there's a sane way to recover/recycle the plastic used in these kinds of larger prints, especially if it starts to see widespread commercial application— thinking character statues in cinema lobbies to replace cardboard cutouts. I suppose it's nothing compared to all the plastic popcorn buckets and drink lids, but it still feels like it would be significant if they were printing a new display for each new major release.

I wouldn't consider them rules inasmuch as they're things to keep in mind when working in a Haskell codebase, in much the same way GoF has been useful for OO programmers for decades.

Can you write code without using a pattern from GoF? Sure. Will it work? Probably. Does that make GoF useless? No, I'd think not. This type of content is immensely valuable for beginner and practitioner alike because it starts to build a shared language with which to talk about how codebases are organized :)
Whoa really? I deleted my Facebook in 2014, so I had no idea they actually did ID verification. If this is the case I guess you could spin up a burner number on Twilio, but this seems like a lot of work to go through. I have a Quest and will likely try these steps, but no way will I ever give Facebook my real identity.
Anthrocon was probably also dominated by the Western Educated Industrialised Rich and Democratic subset.

Kinda absurd. You can setup a one time email, and one time facebook if you really want to segregate.

Sure you win on principle, but that's just the same as losing.
TinyPilot's New Design – v2 of Raspberry Pi Based Remote KVM
Thanks for the feedback. I'll make sure this is clear.

Why is this important for you?
I bought something from Amazon, and it wasn't up to spec, so I left a 3-star review.

Well, I got contacted by the seller, offering me $20 to take down the review. I ignored it.

Then a few weeks later, they upped the offer. And in response, I downed the stars.

Last I heard from them, they were offering me $70 to take down the review. For something that cost under $15.

Amazon itself doesn't help either. I bought something (a food item) from Amazon, and it was nowhere close to the quality in the photographs or description. I wrote a review, describing how the actual item was of much lower quality than expected. Amazon refused to post my review! And I've been an Amazon customer for nearly 20 years!

Back in the 90's, the Seattle Times reported that there were over 10,000 millionaires (excluding home equity) in Seattle as a result of working at Microsoft and getting stock options.

I expect its far more than that with Amazon.
Right, and I'm arguing that none of these cited articles are valid evidence for that claim. Leaving aside the fact that his vague wording gives him enormous wiggle room, i.e. "others" could refer to anything from professional archaeologists to the Ancient Aliens guy and "old things" could mean almost anything.
That's exactly why I went for the Rift S instead and bought all my games through Steam. So I can sell that piece of plastic and get something not feom Oculus.
>I don't want to assume bad intent, but I find it hard to believe that someone could be so naive about the project and the organization controlling it.

Let's not assume bad intent and recognize the reality that things change. That any corporate statement or policy is not true in perpetuity. It's very possible that at the time FB really did believe it. It has been 6 years since the acquisition after all.
Does it? The article seems to bear out the headline: That the matter is an active question.

I don't buy much from amazon these days, but yeah, definitely bought some higher end shaving cream that I later realized was probably not authentic. It's getting easier to buy direct from brands, and I feel safer buying this kinda stuff from target or whatever locally.
In Defense of the Psychologically Rich Life
Fluffy, could I ask you to give a few more details about how you set this up? Sounds interesting!
>Have we really given up basic consumer rights that easily?

Well, yes. I don't know if you've noticed, but short-term convenience trumps all other concerns. The market can't really deal with these issues, because they are too subtle and expensive for individuals to work out for themselves. We really do need collective action, by way of regulation, similar to how we recognized as a society that workplace safety laws were not something private businesses were ever going to compete on, and we just needed to force them to comply. And no doubt the same howls of protest let loose then, too, about how "the extra costs will put me out of business", etc. It was then, as it is now, hogwash.

And in fact I would argue this kind of regulation not only important for consumers, but for national security. As more and more individuals lives become dependent on centralized information infrastructure, the more damage espionage (foreign or domestic) can do, not to mention the effect of wide-scale DoS attacks. Imagine a world where all smart devices are bricked...so much of the old infrastructure is gone - phones, phone books, maps, manuals. In some cases you might not even be able to vacuum your house (Roomba owners), or make a POTS phone call.

So yeah, its bad on multiple fronts, and I fear that the correcting event will be catastrophic (like, supply chain catastrophic, leading to starvation).
I made a mistake and did not quote the line properly. The comment is not mine, but a quote from the poster I replied to.
> You can deduce that cash on hand harms nobody by doing a thought experiment.

This is incorrect. We know from history we know the before, during, and after states of company finances and the economy as a whole.

When companies are not confident in the future they tend to sit on cash reserves versus making their own direct investments. Historically, these direct investments have a benefit for the productive capabilities of the firm.

The sin that OP is probably targeting, but I didn't see described, is stock buybacks. If companies are sitting on cash that's one thing, but they can negatively impact their liquidity by buying back stocks with no upside for stakeholders in the long term.
> Fifth, the idea that people "will just move to another country" is very silly. If some people do leave, or start companies only in other jurisdictions, that just means there's a market opportunity for the many people who remain.

You're just name-calling here, it's not "silly" just because you don't like the fact. If they leave, they actually leave, period. Sweden's left-wing majority abolished the inheritance tax(!) because so many wealthy people left because of it (among them, the famous IKEA founder).

It's sad that your non-arguments and whinging are being upvoted by people who "feel" the rich ought to be taxed but refuse to think about the consequences.
There is plenty of enforcement of this regulation:

Facebook has already been fined, and if they cross the line again they will be fined again, and quite possibly much higher.

If you know for a fact that Facebook is in some way or other currently not GDPR compliant then I would invite you to contact your local DPA.
Zero chance I'd buy an Oculus now.
Is this some form of extortion?
> If a company does pay back investors, that almost always means that it has contributed to society on net.

It sounds like you're saying that profit is all that matters and you can't contribute to society without making a profit.
He'll still lose access to all games he owns on the Oculus store.
Not for that smoker. They'll (statistically) live longer.
It's a thing that some people like different names for work and personal life. I knew a guy like that and it was jarring being around him at home.

My take: he had worked with such cretins before, I think he didn't really want to associate his favorite name with them.
Bazel is the least bad build system I've used too. Just wanted to note, though, it is not damn beautiful. Maybe its internal (idealistic) model is beautiful, but the outer parts are something else. It does have awesome features, but it has lots of bugs, rough edges, and weird behavior too. Try specifying your own compilers, or adding your own steps to the build process, getting things working on Windows, etc. and if you don't already know how to do it, you will probably hate your life trying to figure it out. And forget about putting your workspace into a path with spaces, even if your repo path lacks spaces inside it and you use relative paths everywhere -- it simply can't do that (while even Make can). There are lots of random issues with undeclared headers and ungenerated files that come up from time to time that make absolutely no sense and are likely bugs that are incredibly hard to track down. (Of course some of these errors are legitimate too, just painful to track down. I'm saying not all of them are. Some are even nondeterministic.) And good luck if your user name (and hence home directory) has a space in it, which it very well might if you're on Windows. All in all, it might be better than anything else I've used, but not in every case, and that's not an unconditional endorsement.
You don't of course, because you mostly can't. Yeah there might be some kind of technology to push the speed to that limit, but I don't expect to see speed pushed in the kind of areas where houses are sold basically at loss for 1€.

So, long story short: that's the advertised speed.
>haven't you already done that?

Fortunately, I haven't.
noticed you didn't write any tests: https://github.com/mikecao/umami

What was your reasoning? Personally, I write tests for all my projects, it forces me to really think hard about how to break down the different components and functionalities and it helps others feel more confident to contribute.
I agree with you, but I do think something has to be discussed about the the issue with shares. Selling shares to pay tax does seem strange, the impact of losing ownership just to pay tax is weird to me.

Seems it make more sense to tax when the shares are sold, but with a percentage based not on your taxed income, but your whole asset holding. Or just to tax the companies themselves more heavily.
Sure, it'd be called something different and would be made by someone else. It's not like FB started Oculus from scratch. Worst case it would've just taken a little longer while some other player with the capital got around to being interested.

The use case drove the tech, not the company, and so far the tech is being used for exactly what it was used for before FB bought it (just better as computers, motion sensors, and cameras got better). There was nothing transformative there.

I don't think FB deserves any credit other than being in the right place at the right time. Now they're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Props for wireless 6DOF before anyone else, and I love my Quest, but now that the trail is blazed and they aren't being maintaining their (yes, their--Palmer worked for them too) promises to the community, they can sit down.
This isn't correct. There were/are a lot of inside out VR headsets. Oculus just happens to have a brand, a solid marketing presence, a solid product, the appearance of longevity etc.

Facebook might have helped but from a purely technical perspective, Facebook wasn't the only path.
often if reviews were boosted, the most recent reviews will take a plunge. So I tend to focus on recent reviews.
Too many managers, not enough engineers on HN. As an engineer I can definitely attest to managers saying "99.9% is enough"
Did he complain to the local DPA?

If not that's an excellent example and it may lead to FB being held to account.

DPA's typically do not go on fishing expeditions, you have to alert them.

I deleted my FB account over 5 years ago. A few years after that, I tried creating a new one to sell something on Marketplace, and they closed my account, saying I needed to provide a driver's license due to fraud. I'm not giving FB my driver's license to sell something online, and I'm certainly not going to do it to play a video game in VR.
It could also be biased by age; I assume that the furry subject group skewed older than the students (or at least that the students were a more tightly restricted age group). I know I felt far more self-assured at 30 than I did at 20.
Facebook account bans are often for absurd reasons and there is basically zero accountability. Post a pic that an algorithm flagged as a nude? No Oculus for 30 days and needing to send them a passport scan!

Seriously? Keeping track of technology, reading other people's opinions and first-hand experience, feedback, leads on topical news, trends, developments. The list is endless.
That's my point around changing the pipes. I think it's still meaningfully different though, because there are probably some first party benefits of going directly through FB, but that's speculation.

The most sensible arrangement is to have a consumption tax (the user pays when they take their wealth out of the system) and/or a tax on incomes and rents, but not affecting the pure yield of capital (the user pays when they put wealth into the system).
