The "punishment" of being slightly less rich is not a punishment.

Revenue is the point. Or, more specifically, lowering the tax burden on the people that can't trivially shrug it off.

Also it's possible to be in favor of reduced spending and a wealth tax, so that certain other taxes can be double decreased.
Congratulations! Great idea and the app looks very polished. I'm really excited for you as I've got a similar story: working on a project on and off for 10 years, first as a hobby offering it for free but last 3 years thought what if I could make it worth my time. I started charging this year and now at a similar MRR. Oh and judging by the currency, also living in the UK. A story like yours really gives me hope and inspires me to keep going so thank you for sharing.
But a proxy would have the proxy server ip, unless Rebekah was hosting a tor node or some other proxy at her home. Even in that case the ip is still at her home.
You seem to confuse the life of a grad student and the life of a tenure track professor trying to keep their lab running. They're not the same, not even close. Unless you are/were one, or were married to one, or have actual data proving that academic professors spend the majority of their times in useless meetings, your argument holds no water. Comparing reading papers for undergrad courses or some masters experience in some compsci lab is just naive at the level where you are not even aware of a different plane of existence.

The biggest proponent of "you only need to work 9-5 and can still be a successful professor", Cal Newport, himself walked back those statements somewhat after he started going tenure track.

I'll give one corollary though, which is that there are some very successful professors who actually don't work that hard. I am friends with one; they're just simply not human. I remember reading from the same textbook with him and he finished the pages 3x faster than me. So the only way you get away with regular life in academia is to have a super human brain. The rest of us have to compensate by putting in the extra hours. It's not healthy, at least not for me, which is why I chose to leave. But many do it. And continue to do so. It's arguable if their lives are worse or they don't mind it, but it's not arguable that they are just morons who don't understand time management.

I find "great developers prefer clojure" narrative so infuriating. Clojure is just one paradigm. I am pretty sure there are as many great developers that don't prefer clojure to some other novel language.
I could not disagree with you more. If you want to do back-breaking labor for equal money as cushy jobs, be my guest. But my experience is that the difficulty, skill, and (gasp!) risk of a job determines how well it’s compensated. If you want to imagine that all jobs can pay equally well, enjoy the ruination of your country if your preferred political party ever manages to seize power.

Are you implying that there’s no causality between producing billions of plastic bottles and said bottles ending up all over the place?
And in fact, that's a pretty reasonable approach to take.

Almost 50 years ago philosopher John Rawls posited "social and economic inequalities, for example inequalities of wealth and authority, are just only if they result in compensating benefits for everyone, and in particular for the least advantaged members of society."

The real question becomes: is the inequality we're dealing with today compensated for by benefits to the rest of society? It's tough to tell.

I've considered this as well.

It has one big problem, which is huge headaches around lending at interest. This is surmountable if the rate of issuance is reasonably predictable, but compound interest is already difficult for many people to understand, this would make it worse.

The problem that eventually the numbers get silly isn't a problem, because, first of all, it happened: a coke should cost a nickel, not a buck. Second, just drop a zero from time to time, easy, and an opportunity to change up the look of the currency.
Logistically more efficient but what about the complete environmental impact? Are they also considering the costs of disposing of this plastic? Aren't trucks driving around empty half the time anyway? Can the grocery truck just haul empties back to the distribution center where they are handed back to the trucks from the manufacturer?
There are countless examples of wasteful or pointless government programs, and countless successes too. This article feels pretty specific to me though. It’s saying the federal stimulus in the spring was mostly successful, however the situation is still ongoing and the federal government isn’t likely to act again. Therefore it’s up to the state to do something similar, and the state can afford it by raising taxes on capital gains.

I personally know people that were saved by the $1,200 earlier this year. Waitstaff, retail workers, even some healthcare workers. This is a clear example of “we are part of the way there and need more funding”. The vaccines are being manufactured, we just need to give people more time.

> Without addressing the actual root causes of inequity, distributing... funds will amount to little more than an invitation to use force to take from the haves and deign to the have-nots

I’m curious what you think the causes of inequality are? Picketty makes a strong case that it’s caused by the fact that wealth grows more wealth at a faster rate than labor grows wealth. In which case a wealth tax or capital gains tax would cut right to the heart of inequality.

Sacca's response is interesting because it highlights something very cool about the gig economy: the commoditization of trust.

People are actually far more benevolent than people think. The number of actual murderers and other miscreants is such a small number as to be negligible for the purposes of renting out your home, your car, getting food delivered to you, etc.

I don't know why people have such a strong reaction (either way) about Apple and its chips. Apple didn't invent vertical integration. This type of business model exists in every industry sector. The ROI calculation about whether to make something in-house or farm it out is pretty much SOP, and businesses act accordingly. Porsche makes their own engines but not their own tires.
Something interesting is that the author of the article, Nicholas Pileggi, later went on to do books that Goodfellas and Casino were based on
Mobile phones don't. There are practical and political reasons for not allowing phone use, but meaningful risk to the safety of flight is not one of them.

Instruments are fine, what could suffer problems are RF receivers (radio, radar, GNSS) but outside of interference during the event and the potential need to reboot problematic equipment, the critical instruments (pitot-static, accelerometers and gyros) aren't particularly exposed. In terms of effects to the aircraft systems directly, all that article mentions are upset events, and those are already a design consideration.

The 737-Max story came about specifically because it was not a FBW aircraft and not designed as such with sufficiently redundant systems. The safety case was that crews could disable the system if it misbehaved, rather than it being essential for flight like a real FBW system would be.
I don't find the article very convincing, so let me try to give a different argument.

Governments need money to perform the duties they've been assigned. The costs of the duties assigned to them tend to go up during times of economic crisis (especially social safety net measures, but even public safety and education costs go up), while revenues tend to go down.

Different taxation regimes exaberate or smooth this descrepancy in different circumstances. Right now states with largely property tax based revenue streams are probably doing comparatively well, where a state like Nevada, which is dependent on sales tax and entertainment tax revenue is really hurting.

Diversifying the tax base to include a wealth tax has the same benefit that diversification does elsewhere - it increases resialancy of the tax system to any one type of shock, which allows governments to continue providing services when they are needed most.

Now there is also a moral element to the progressive (paid more by the rich as a portion of assets) nature of a wealth tax versus the regressive nature of sales taxes (paid more by the poor as a percentage of income), and that is also worth considering, as are the practical and moral considerations that a wealth tax would likely have negative economic effects. However, right now in a period of crisis I find the main moral question to be “how can society live up to its existing obligations (explicit and implied)” and how can we ensure we do so in the future. A diversification of the tax structure (via a wealth or capital gains tax) can help with that, and therefore there is a decent moral case for pursuing such, outside of distribution questions.

> I like the walled garden and have no interest in it going away. I like that my mom can install apps and not worry about them spying on her.

This is super ironic given how extensively Apple is spying on their customers. I guess you consider it OK too since it's Apple?

And btw, Apple's policy absolutely doesn't prevent spying: Google Chrome is still spying her your browsing habits, Gmail is reading her emails, Whatsapp has all her contact information (including identity and phone numbers of non-consenting friends of her), etc.

Apple policy is about malware, not user privacy.
Interesting, my experience in Clojure projects has been completely the opposite re your caveat: very pragmatic & get-things-done developers, and everyone-works-on-everything or nearly so style of working.

The most used Clojure libs are well maintained and solid IME. Of course there are a lot of inactive ones too, it's natural especially as Clojure is not a young language anymore.
I think there’s a case to be made you might do better if you could offer your product for cheaper on an alternate app store. Price is a powerful incentive and if you offered it at, say, 6.99/mo instead of 9.99/mo that could bring many folks over.

It's clearly apparent you have zero clue how clinical trials are actually run and what needs to happen with the data collection and analysis.

Yes, the company has a conflict of interest, but by sharing patient level data, the gov't can replicate any analysis. It's transparency in the process, data collection and data that makes for a reliable system. Masking personal data to the point that the gov't doesn't even know what the data represents sounds stupid.

I mean, your personal doctor collects all this data and stores it. Why would you not do the same with clinical trial data? It's medical treatment, albeit, experimental medical treatment.

I find it strange how many prefer to preserve a system where the 400 richest billionaires own more wealth than the poorest 150 million citizens (3200 billions), rather than see 1% of this wealth wasted by government inefficiencies.

I'm pretty proud of this `getvoicerecorder.sh` script that I use to pull .wav voice recordings from my phone, convert them to .mp3, and delete the originals from the phone memory (assuming you have Android Debug Bridge adb tool installed):

#!/bin/bash

# On the computer
MYHOME=$HOME
MYDESKTOP=$HOME/Desktop
DEST_DIR="Voice Recordings `date "+%Y-%m-%d"`"

# On the phone
VOICE_RECORDER_SOURCE_DIR="/sdcard/EasyVoiceRecorder"

# 1. make the dest dir and cd into it
cd $MYDESKTOP
mkdir "$DEST_DIR"
cd "$DEST_DIR"
# list files that will be downloaded:
echo "The following files will be adb-pulled, converted, and saved to $DEST_DIR"
adb shell ls "$VOICE_RECORDER_SOURCE_DIR"

# 2. PULL
adb shell "cd $VOICE_RECORDER_SOURCE_DIR; tar -cf allwavs.tar *wav"
adb pull $VOICE_RECORDER_SOURCE_DIR/allwavs.tar allwavs.tar

# 3. PROCESS
tar -xf allwavs.tar
for f in *.wav; do
echo "Converting $f to mp3...";
ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel panic -i "$f" "${f%.wav}.mp3";
done
# set timestamp to match what was on the original .wav files
for f in *.wav; do
gtouch -d "$(date -R -r "$f")" "${f%.wav}.mp3";
done

# 4. cleanup
rm *wav
adb shell "rm $VOICE_RECORDER_SOURCE_DIR/allwavs.tar"
rm allwavs.tar
echo "Deleting all .wav files from phone..."
adb shell "rm $VOICE_RECORDER_SOURCE_DIR/*wav"

A bit of inequality is good. A lot of inequality is bad.

If you let inequality grow, due to the way capital begets capital and wealth concentrates you end up with increasing inequality till a few people (let’s call them kings) own 99% of the wealth, and the rest of the people (perhaps we could call them serfs or dead souls) live hand to mouth on very low income.

This is why we have progressive taxes, but those don’t work so well because you can entirely avoid income tax if you have enough capital.

IMO we should tax income a bit less and capital a bit more.
I think it's not as much that rich people being rich is a problem but the more they amass the faster they amass more and they eventually become a resource sink at the expense of the rest of us. Proper taxation is not looking to eradicate rich people, it would simply make them pay their fair share of taxes (if collected). I am a middle class worker and I pay proportionally a lot more taxes than the uber-rich, is that fair? If I were a billionaire and employed an army of lawyers and accountants to help me avoid paying taxes would that be fair to you? How about tax heavens? Regardless of what's fair or not, when the gap increases beyond certain limits instability ensues. If we don't do anything - and if you have a different solution bring it to the table - we could end up in a much worse situation in which all of us, rich and the poor, would have a lot more to lose

Myth: Polar Bears Are Solar
> is predicated on the assumption that: the government can use your dollar more effectively than you can at creating an equitable [wild, wild] world.

When you realize the "you" isn't you as an individual--a middle, or upper-middle class person who might see another dollar in taxation--but the "you" is mega corporations and billionaires who only use their money in pursuit of more profit and building walled gardens to keep the grubby masses away, that might soften this hard-line libertarian view a bit. Corporations are soulless and amoral. And they have been caught time and time again sacrificing people's livelihoods, health and safety, mental and physical, to their bottom line. Corporations are also responsible for the vast majority of pollution on this planet and produce 100% of the trash littering the oceans. (you won't find a mom&pop's root beer can floating out there, anywhere).

In general I've found that my 20s libertarian view was highly biased to an underlying assumption that my experience is typical, and that the only thing that needed fixing was getting the government out of "my" life and wallet, and that everything would just magically follow from my own personal freedom. The reality is that every one of these typical people are very small fish buffeted and cajoled by advertising and the abusive power of rich people.
A bit biased towards things consumed at beaches, rivers, parks and communities
One of the more compelling arguments in my eyes is that wealth concentration is very difficult to separate from power concentration (which is the point of money in a way), so wealth inequality can have a direct effect on liberty. Think of the difference between being able to afford lawyers or not, or make political campaign contributions (i.e. buying political influence), to say nothing of outright bribes and other, more cinematic ways of turning money into power.

The argument about standard of living kind of misses the point. Yes, standard of living is increasing, but it could be even better, so why aren't we doing that? That question at least deserves an answer (though to be clear I don't think a "wealth tax" is likely to be that answer).

I do think that leftist political theorists are too fond of dealing with abstractions rather than concrete details, a bit like corporate buzzword jargon (semi-useful for describing problems, if not solutions), or code that has been factored to FactoryBeanManager levels. They often have good arguments underneath it all, but I don't know why they expect people not already on board with their agenda to take their terminology seriously.
