FB, LinkedIn and Slack are exceptionally happy that it is centralized; what do you mean “shouldn’t be centralized”? Who cares about what’s better for the user? He’s not the customer anyway.

Sadly.
It's unfortunate that conspiracy theorist and antivaxxers give those who are sceptic for rational reasons a bad name.
When it comes to taxation, only the currency issuer (the Federal government) can really tax income and wealth denominated in its currency. Currency users, like states or counties within a currency union really can only tax the land and property within them. Everything else has a habit of moving to lower taxed areas. Other states will end up passing laws saying the Californian Wealth tax cannot be collected or enforced in their area. I'm surprised they aren't teeing that one up in Texas as we speak - given all that lovely IT business they could attract.

Purity of tax theory is what ended up as Poll Tax riots in the UK. Eventually local taxation reverted to property as it tends to once pragmatism and reality reasserts itself.

California could get what it needs using a volumetric hut tax - unless it fancies going independent and setting up its own currency.
There are so many easier ways to do this, starting taxing dividends and other income progressively and at normal tax rates. I don't get why they are even trying this, it creates massive problems and is not a solution.

As well as tax inheritance at 25% or progressively.
Why Fukuyama was right all along
I don't remember, because the measurements on the £1M purchase was maybe five years ago, but they taught a useful lesson. I didn't see figures in what I was responding to. If I'd had more influence on the purchase, as opposed to observing the process, we wouldn't have ended up with a pure sandybridge system, which was a mistake. Anyhow, my all-free-software version of cp2k was faster on it than an all-Intel version on slightly faster CPUs on an otherwise equivalent cluster. I measured and paid attention to the MPI, which benefited everything using alltoallv. The large core-count AMD boxes were simply a better bet for the range of work on a university HPC system. It's not as if most codes topped out an arithmetic intensity and there was a serious problem with serial performance, even if MKL had been significantly better than the free libraries, which it wasn't.

For a recent exercise, spending rather more money on AMD CPUs for the UK Tier 1 system, look at the Archer2 reference and benchmarking for it. It's expected to run large amounts of VASP-like code; www.archer.ac.uk publishes usage of the current system. Circumstances differ, and I'm pointing out contrary experience, understanding the measurements and what determined them.

Airports get built "close" in the sense that most international airports are named after a city, and the distance to that city is generally minutes rather than hours of travel.

Airports get built "far away" in the sense that, between land prices and noise abatement, airports are generally on the very outskirts of a city at the time they are built and the city's central train station will be much closer to the city centre.

But apart from military bases on remote islands, no airports are so remote that "don't worry where you ditch the plane if there's a problem, there's nothing near the airport" would be an option :)

Even if Microsoft chose not to remove the license check, it would certainly get cracked. Cracks likely exist already.

In fact, to me that sounds like exactly what you would expect in a common law system.
Congratulations on your success! Your story is inspiring for other “solopreneurs” out there.

A bit off-topic: what was the motivation behind you building WIP.chat ? I don’t see an about page on mobile.

To me at least, WIP looks like a cross between a todolist, Twitter and Product Hunt but targeted at indie hackers, no?
> so what's the alternative

I think it's quite odd we nowadays think cars are the only possible form of transportation. We are not born with 4 wheels underneath our butt.
The alternative is to build structures build for foot or bicycle traffic. Everything within 10k can easily be reached by either bicycle or foot traffic. By building infrastructure for cars, you create distances which are for cars only. They would otherwise not exist.

> enabling them to find houses and jobs in the most economical and convenient places

That's only possible due to the external costs of cars not being accounted for. Burning dinosaurs and destruction of nature is nowhere to be found in cars. If you would price cars accordingly, we would start planning differently.

> once public transit become monopolistic

We already have the same monopolistic issue just right now with cars as the only means of transportation. Without cars, you're not able to move in large parts of the U.S. This excludes about 50%+ of the U.S. population (children < 16yo, people who cannot afford cars or cannot drive themselves due to health reasons).

> private cars win over public transit because it's a better product

Why are cars a better product?
Commute and travel time are a huge economical factor destroying time. They take up loads of space and require infrastructure and maintenance paid by society.

> dependency on public transit times.

That's a political issue which could be solved. Most of the money spent nowadays is spent on parking spots and car roads. If you would spend the same amount on public transport, you could probably run a train every 5 minutes.

> too bad, transit only gives peak service at peak hours.
That's also how we design our roads. They need to accomodate peak traffic at peak hours. Otherwise they're an unused piece of asphalt.

> the car has been a great economical equalizer and still is

Again, not taking into account external costs. Road traffic kills ~ 1.2M people each year insuring even more which do have a massive impact on the health system.

> pollution is something to be solved

By solving pollution but still focusing on urban sprawl and keeping traffic as-is, we will do the wrong thing better. That's an achievement but not solving the issue.

Feel free to watch the interview mentioned before. It does clarify some of the points I just mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_x5Hor2MP8

I'm sure it depends on the country. Denmark currently have five different systems for hospital records, which communicates poorly or not at all. So records from on region has to be manually send to hospitals in other regions. I the future I believe we'll be down to two or three systems, one of which is Epic and the other is developed by a Danish company.

As for pay, pretty much as in the US, each visit to a doctor as a value, but the bill is handled by the local region. Denmark has five Regions, each responsible for the healthcare in that geographic area. The regions are given a sum of money by the state each year, to cover the cost of operating the healthcare system and pay for doctors, hospitals, ambulances and so on.

It's a little complicated, but for instant: I need to see my doctor tomorrow, he'll be paid a fixed amount for that consultation. A consultation is defined as 12 minutes. That's 12 minutes to say "Hi", diagnose, write a prescription (if needed), talk to me about treatment and document everything.
No, that is where I am coming from.

I can give examples with other managed languages that are more at home with C++ infrastructure for the time being, like JavaScript, Swift, Julia.

While impressive technology, I still get that eerie feeling of my computer's ownership being slowly taken away from me. The problem is not Github codespaces offering us an alternative to traditional dev environments, the problem may be 10 years from now, when someone says: "All the coding is done on the web nowadays, why should we allow users to install compilers and dev tools on their machine? They may use those for hacking and compromising the security of our systems. They may hurt themselves in the process and sue us! Better not take risks". I'm afraid to go into a future where this is normal...
I think a cool invention would be a (not-very) autonomous electric trailer.

Think of a full trailer - "a freight trailer supported by front and rear axles and pulled by a drawbar"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_(vehicle)#Full_trailer

With something like this it could be "towed" by basically any kind of vehicle. It doesn't really have to be pulled or pushed, it could take hints from the vehicle in front. It might not even have to be attached, except maybe for legal or historical reasons.

Another important point about rv-type travel is that you frequently need to be self-contained. A large battery could do double duty as propulsion and living. It would also be ideal for rooftop and/or awning solar panels. This setup would allow all the comforts of civilization without being hooked up to the grid, or even be near the grid. It could even pay for itself. Drive, then park for a few days and you get free power to go another hop.

I’ve never liked this reasoning:

> A civilization that wishes to continue expanding across the universe will need to compete for the limited resources with any other intelligent life

If a civilisation has the ability to travel across to different star systems, then going to war over a single planet’s resources makes little sense when they probably have the ability to manipulate and craft matter, at will, at the atomic level.
I think what you're missing is that the distribution of wealth was probably just as uneven - if not worse than it is now. Most of it was concentrated in the hands of a few. So what was looted wasn't going to be used for the good of the common folk anyway. The ruling royals (most of them; there were a few exceptions like Mysore and a few of the Holkars) were worse governments than the Brits ever were.

You're free to believe whatever you want to, and feel pride in whatever makes you feel good. That is your prerogative - but do mind the facts!

Edit: To be clear, I'm _not_ trying to justify what the Brits did. Bear in mind though, the royals that they replaced were in many cases much worse administrators - so the argument about the opportunity cost holds little water.
> And this on no small matter: it is about hiding that the plaintiff died before the trial. And it is not clear whether it is ok or not.

I think the scenario in question had the complaining witness dying. Is a complaining witness same as plaintiff? I would think the plaintiff in this scenario is the state. Genuine doubt as I'm not a lawyer.

> theft of another company's intellectual property

Seriously? "Theft"? Most of these millionaire 'celebrities' teaching on Masterclass are from the USA, which is the 'king' of 'intellectual property.

The 'intellectual property' system, by driving artificial scarcity of information, is the root cause for global heating and social inequity. Imagine if everything was open source and we'd have Open Value Networks that measure actual material flows, instead of a 'medium-of-exchange' that is backed and enforced by the military-industrial-complex.

We need Commons-based peer production and Protocol Cooperativism, and the end of Rentier Capitalism, through the use of MetaCurrency's distributed computing pattern (Holographic chain). We need it now.
I would say that the decline was imminent following the collapse of communism, but I only started to notice a severe regression of civil liberties and liberal attitudes after the 9/11 terror attacks. I live in Germany, mind you. The changes have been even bigger in the US as it seems.

We at Trashero value our users time, attention and privacy and are proud to introduce IntelliBin AI, the worlds first truly intelligent trash bin. Using computer vision and AI, it possesses true situational awareness and determines the intention of users from the context. It will therefore only open the lid when someone approaches it to actually throw something away (sometimes even before users know it themselves!) but will ignore approaches when someone or their cat just passes by. At a price of $299 (includes the subscription fee for cloud connection for 2 years, $9 per month thereafter; you can put it in salvage mode to get 10% off your next Trashero product), it is a truly competitive product in the market of next-generation trash bins. At a modest assumption of one intelligent trash bin per four-person household, we see a potential of $1.2 T per product cycle (expected lifetime of 2 years) worldwide.

We're hiring: Trashero is changing the world and you want to be part of it? Submit your application through our Trashero Hiring App. Due to the math-heavy nature of our work, we are expecting candidates to be able to solve any of the Millennium Prize Problems in a reasonable time on the whiteboard, so you might want to brush up on these in advance. For the more hands-on part of your work, we expect 10-15 years of experience with K8s, Rust and TensorFlow.

With GPL there is a legal tool to force contribution, though.

As mentioned I don't care, after university my main UNIX platforms were HP-UX, Aix and Solaris with their respective system compilers anyway.

Not a problem in this case because those batteries are less than miliwatt in a pretty macroscopic package.
Building queries in a programming language is more flexible and the data operation is explicit. You rely on good programmers to do it right.

By contrast, SQL is more constrained about what it can do. It's declarative and you rely on the database engine to optimize the procedure.

Neither is perfect.
PowerVolt Energy Saver Review – Save Up to 90% on Electricity Bill
The increase in PowerVolt Energy Saver bills over the last 3 years has increased by 30%. And this huge increase in the cost of power is enough to ruin a monthly budget. Every household has a budget that can be ruined by the power supplier. They increase the energy rates frequently and find yourself paying a bill that is a drain your income. Did your income increase in the same proportion? So, it’s necessary to reduce your energy consumption and pay lesser power bills.Click Here https://ipsnews.net/business/2020/08/28/powervolt-energy-sav...

> Who cares about what’s better for the user?

All of these apps chose technology that was available to them when they started building. So the focus could be to enable building modern usecases on decentralized data platforms.

If one of them becomes the next FaceBook, personal ownership could become a baseline expectation for similar apps. Once data is owned by users, apps become a layer on top of data which can be substituted as needed.

Well... certainly not omissions. The job of a lawyer is not to lay down facts but to know and understand the law and use the knowledge to argue on behalf of their client. It is prosecutor's job to lay down facts without lying or omitting. In fact lawyers have obligation to omit facts when it is a wish of their client.

But the direction of Linux as a GPL project is largely controlled by corporations e.g. Redhat now a.k.a. IBM, Intel, etc. GPL is not a cure all, it is a tool. Some licenses are better for some purposes. Use the right tool for the right job. It is nice that we have compilers (and OSes) under both licenses, it shows both strengths and weaknesses of each type of license. There are strengths, and weaknesses, to both models, and to other models, such as Intel's optimizing compiler.
American (income) taxes are not as low as people think they are, and if you consider that health insurance plans are a form of tax, then it can be higher in places like California or maybe a couple of % points less in other states with income tax.

Shadow banning is for technically illiterate trolls not spammers. I would not advice automatic shadow banning as it might be psychologically destructive for false positives in a community. Technically illiterates will never understand that they are shadow banned and keep posting in vain and think they are ignored.

I would advice sending a registration token as a clear picture to the user email (really short one, like four letters). Then the spammer need to do pattern recognition and if he can't program he will not bother.
