I disagree, a wealth tax targets wealth, not inequality.

Inequality is deeper, inequality should be targeted with things like free access to university and technical schools, policies that target housing prices to keep those lower or progressively tax homes with property taxes to reduce expensive homes, tax empty homes, fix health care so a base level is included as part of taxes for every citizen, expand childcare/school to age 3 months, pass paid vacation on a federal level of 4 weeks, bump minimum wage, pass an inheritance tax of 50% on anything more than 1 million, etc.

Thinking a wealth tax fixes anything is crazy. Just look at all the case studies out of Europe. All it does is create more loopholes, reduce business investment, and cause capital to flee.

Also, inequality in the right ratio is good. Now we just need to figure out where that ratio should be. I think the USA is obscene right now, but mostly because we have enough money to build a real working society and instead we've built a cage to fight to the death within.
I think the op is asking for actual type refinement by a regex condition.

Law enforcement will always do unconstitutional actions until a court cracks down on it. They used to attach tracking devices to cars without a warrant. There’s no punishment to push limits and defendants lack the resources to challenge the constitutionality of the action. Holding police chief financially liable would probably change police behavior. Right now defendants can only sue the city/police department and the tax payers foot the bill. Unconstitutional actions piercing qualified immunity seems like reasonable balance.
It's not a logical contradiction for both sides to be right.

And it might even be factually correct from both sides given a reasonable interpretation of "fact".

What will remain is your evaluation about which type of law breaking is more dangerous to the fabric of society. And that seems to be the fault line between left and right.

Personally I think government and cops breaking the law is corrosive in a unique way. This is a fairly broadly accepted view as well - it's why crimes by law enforcement and the judiciary have often been treated more harshly. It's a huge red flag when they are treated more leniently as it speaks of corruption that runs deep in the body politic.

Twitter has a policy stating that you can't post things contradicting the CDC. The CDC originally said that masks don't do anything. A very obvious layperson assumption would be that masks do do something, because if it comes from your face, and you put a barrier over your face, that would seem pretty damn likely to reduce spread. It's 5-year old logic and obvious. According to these policies, saying so was prohibited behavior. Now we all wear masks.

If Twitter is a platform that actually harms people sharing thoughts on masks, how can this policy be trusted to be accurate for other things? Some of the drugs in question are not future research but are available today, and the question is just whether or not to try them. Some of these drugs are clearly very politicized as well. I already have no faith that the CDC can get it right from its own incompetence. I have less faith that it isn't also politicized. People should be allowed to speak freely, not ruled by the tyranny of the elite who think they know what's best for people.

You are spot-on about the constitution guaranteeing that laws must not be passed just to punish a certain company. What I believe you are missing, however, is that there is existing law that the divesting order is based on.

Any acquisition involving foreign commerce is subject to the approval of the CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States). Following is an explanation taken from a recent Congressional Research Service report [1] (page 5).

"These regulations created an essentially voluntary system of notification by the parties to an acquisition [...]. Despite the voluntary nature of the notification, firms largely comply with the provision, because the regulations stipulate that foreign acquisitions that are governed by the Exon-Florio review process that do not notify the committee remain subject indefinitely to divestment or other appropriate actions by the President. The regulations make it clear that the President alone determines 'whether a transaction threatens national security.'"

When ByteDance acquired TikTok, they chose not to undergo that review. This was their legal right. However, that made their acquisition liable to be retroactively disallowed by the President.

A good way to distort an economic system is to tax wealth rather than output. Wealth will flee, hide, and find loopholes. If you raise taxes on income, all types, that is a better path.
I think there are two different questions:

Will our protagonist achieve their goal?

How will our protagonist achieve their goal?

You can be unpredictable by not knowing where the story is going, or unpredictable by not knowing how the story will go where it must go. I'm a fan of the latter (lots of genre fiction) because it's like a puzzle. I know Harry's going to thwart Voldemort again this book, but it really looks like there's no way he will, so how the hell is he going to do it?
Ask HN: Why some universities don't make their video lectures public ?
Why do you think standford didn't make video lectures of this course "machine learning on graphs" public but decided to make the just the slides and assignments public?
Would that fear of future shame be as primal as the fear of imminent death, at the moment of conflict?
That gets to the point.

Normally, as a city, you'd probably want your employees to live in the city that they service. If you don't live there, you're not going to care about hypodermic needles on the street as much. "Meh, it's San Francisco. Who cares?"
Yes! I'm stoking the flames for these ideas because they were quite beneficial in my experience.

In particular, the code reuse aspect, which I haven't seen any advocacy for previously.
It depends on the state. In New York and Illinois, the bar is an organ of the court system, and bar associations are separate private organizations.
> Django vs Rails vs a huge bundle of JS libraries cobbled together at random... for most programming work it doesn’t matter.

It might not matter to you, but it sure matters for the end user.

This sort of attitude is why blog pages weigh north of 20 Mb and load for minutes nowadays.
> Does Jeff not know that everyone will remember him for this behavior?

This presupposes that Jeff cares about his legacy. I genuinely don't know what drives him; my best guess is 'making Amazon ever more successful'.
Nvidia Unveils GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs
Indeed. It's easy to forget that very different behavioral rulesets can create similar conduct in some situations but radically different conduct in others. For example, your dog doesn't operate on the same moral code you do. It may love you, enjoy seeing you, would never harm a hair on your head, and enjoys all the same activities as you. It might also catch a squirrel, slowly pull all its limbs off, and spend the afternoon frolicking with its corpse. Don't mistake someone sometimes acting like you for someone who thinks like you.

I have a theory that 2020 is not any more unusual than other years, but that information dissemination and digestion has become so efficient that it seems like it's a crazy year. Just think about the Beirut explosion without cellphone cameras. Maybe it would have been in newspapers, but because so many people caught it on camera we were able to understand what 4.1 kilos of ammonium nitrate exploding looks like.
The problem is that we don't know which of the ideas are good and which are terrible until we have hindsight.
Sadly i would remove the sarcasm markup.
Until California overhauls their ridiculous Prop 13 artificially keeping property taxes low, these arguments blaming budget shortfalls on salaries will continue to be a moot point.

Yes, there can be rampant overtime abuse by government workers to get these inflated salaries, that's a large problem in NYC transit agencies.

However, the overt limiting of city revenue due to Prop 13 is a major cause of budget shortfalls that's looking them right in the face.

If someone is in serious debt while at the same time going out of their way to voluntarily take a lower salary, does it make sense to blame it on their expensive internet bill, or tackle the salary first?

I would be curious to know what European labor laws are like. I'm also curious about what kinds of tactics these companies resort to which are sufficiently legal. Can anyone recommend good labor books?
Right, but the patch is likely taking a long time because they're trying to fix an inherently unstable design with software.

This is possible in aviation but is typically only done fighter jets where you have vectored thrust, massive control surfaces, and an ejection seat if things go wrong.

If your goal is safety, software-based stability is a very poor design. I think there's a decent chance the MAX won't be re-certified without physical design changes.
A much simpler explanation of the phenomenon is that a lion share of digital electronics made in the union was a direct copypaste down to documentation, and UI

Russian language based domestic computing industry existed, but it has stopped developing in early seventies, and by eighties was behind hopelessly, despite being quite well adapted in civilian use.

Funnily, it was the union's military that was the biggest user of hardware, and software derived from Western products, while civilians were left to use obsolete stuff from sixties, and seventies. Even mechanical computers were still around by the time of union's collapse.
SF residents facing ever increasing taxes and an increasingly dilapidated and unsafe city likely care.
I can relate to this from rock climbing. Typically one climber at a time leads while the other belays (manages the rope). The leader is the one at physical risk but the most scared I've felt has been belaying.

Being the belayer means you don't have much control and are mostly just watching closely and hoping your buddy doesn't get hurt. Being in a scary lead situation forces you to concentrate which pushes a lot of the fear emotions aside. Worry and fear take a lot of energy, energy which often can't be spared in an emergency where you have some control over the situation.
The issue I perceive with this is that all of these wages seem to be extremely inflated compared to the job market for similar roles. Are private hospitals in SF paying RNs almost 300k a year? Are the FB shuttle shuttle drivers or delivery drivers in industry making 108k a year? I doubt it.
It is no different from traders laying down their own cables and private communications infrastructure to get a millisecond advantage on trades on the DOW.

Which is why we're banning them using the tool for that situation (a foreign company who is acting in a way unaligned to the interests of US citizens) and not arresting them.

We are under no duty to allow the CCP to act within our borders.
Yes - between Chicago and NYC.
"We will get to the truth... By force!"
This. "Good cops" would be pressuring police unions to crack down on bad cops, and taking the infiltration of American police departments by white supremacist militias seriously. Ergo, there are no good cops, or they are stifled into silence and might as well be bad cops.

But as someone else pointed out, this article is about Canada, so I digress…

> "being put in jail because you say publicly that tibet should be free"

and if merely pointing that fact out is getting me downvoted, that's the problem of the people who are doing that.
Eh I think many companies will go an order of magnitude higher than that before they start viewing it as "real money".
200k? I know people on 600k total comp who have been stuck in a one bedroom flat for 4 years because of how many strings the money comes attached with.
I love KDE applications and Qt based applications, they are usually way more polished compared to GTK counterparts.

However, it's hard for me to choose KDevelop for serious development. As long as it doesn't have feature parity with JetBrains products, I cannot recommend it. Hard to get there since JetBrains R&D budget most likely exceeds KDevelop by a great margin.

I'm saying the tech is a weapon you use to target something, ideally for good reasons, but it's still a weapon and it's the targeting decision that needs accountability. Knowing what I do about tech, I don't think privacy and security are a trade off or zero sum.

I do think privacy and surveillance are a trade off, and surveillance is what you have when you don't have security or trustworthy systems. I agree there is actual evil in the world, and it's particularly where you don't expect it.

The law isn't designed to fight evil. As a society, a better cultural understanding of evil would do more to improve our ability to deal with it than blunt technical weapons to surveil it.

This looks interesting and the "freebie" is quite extensive at 80 pages. It would be nice to have a full table of contents to see what more you can expect, rather than the "executive summary" of what you could hope to learn.
100% this. It’s also important not to dehumanise history’s bad guys, because that leads to a culture of complacency whereby people think “it could never happen here, because they were monsters and we are not”.
