Preventing concentration of wealth... to what end, are you assuming?

“Where is this assumption stated?” makes nearly no sense when you’re talking about a worldwide political discourse.
My problem with bing, and I could be wrong for it, is I’m not looking to replace one data mining company with another. I’d much rather give a smaller, up and coming, company my searches.
See South Lake Tahoe.
No sidewalks, or sidewalks only on one side. Or a paved road with a gravel shoulder.
Or make the property owner responsible for maintaining a walkable path.

Different property configurations with narrower, deeper lots. Or houses with no street frontage / shared driveways. (Note: there's a safety tradeoff here with respect to fire truck access.)

I'd be in favor of eliminating light poles entirely in residential areas, even if they were free to install and operate.

I currently live in kind of a weird house; it's in unincorporated land within an urban area. There is no street frontage; we share our driveway with a neighbor. No sidewalks on our side of the street, but most streets have them. We're one of the few houses in the area still on a septic system because connecting to the city sewer would be expensive and difficult. Few street lights. A sidewalk on our side would be nice, but I can live without it. (We have a 94-year-old neighbor with an electric scooter that he built a wood/and/plastic enclosure for that he drives to the grocery store, so apparently lack of sidewalk isn't a mobility issue for him at least.)

Yes, that's what I meant. Obviously there are other ways to represent other types of ellipses, but given the constraints of the example in the article, I thought that was clear.
Property tax is already a form of a wealth tax. The estate tax was a one-time wealth tax. It is true that wealthy people do get around many rules but that is not a reason to not have a property tax or to never have an estate tax tax - largely they still pay as paying a lot to move money around is often times not worth it.

The government doesn't have to use your "dollar more effectively than you" if you have different goals. If the government wants to build a school and you don't want a school you don't get to choose not to pay taxes for the school. Other than just increasing the national debt (which I'm for) we tax people. A wealth tax would be a way to either increase revenue to increase spending OR increase revenue so that other forms of revenue can be cut.
So someone can play by the rules, pay all the taxes as they go, and then suddenly have what they’ve already earned confiscated under threat of government force? I feel like that’s normalizing a world without private ownership of anything. After all, a wealth tax would mean that the government can change its mind and seize what you own retroactively at any time. What separates such a “free” society from the CCP? This is the opposite of moral.

Not to mention, with the government’s famous lack of efficiency and accountability, all the stolen wealth wouldn’t accomplish much. And once the one-time cash grab is spent, what are they going to do next? Why would the next wave of builders trust in an environment and government that could take away what they’ve worked hard to build and earn?
That's Nazi talk
What’s even the point of using !g to go to google it just redirects me last I checked so it’s still giving you your personalized searches (thus not a solution for privacy.) Am I missing something here?
The only part I think it's reasonable to take issue with is the "left Google" part, as it makes it nebulous whose choice it was.
Estate tax is an accepted way of taxing wealth.
A land value tax would be far superior.

I strongly recommend everyone read Henry George's Progress and Poverty. I don't think there's a better way out there to solve this problem.

I guess Apple just does t like to depend on anyone anymore.

It’s not like there hasn’t been legal fighting between Apple and Qualcomm about this very issue: https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/14/18307820/apple-qualcomm-l...

Would be interesting to know how this would get apple around the claimed sweeping internet-connected-phone patent.
Preventing concentration of wealth can only be valuable if it leads to a more equitable system. Otherwise it would have the same moral weight as preventing oversized dirt clods.
I even prefer the taste
cy.exec() lets you run general system commands iirc. Istr seeding a database with it before running tests, I think if that command fails with Nonzero, the test would fail.
This seems to be Google’s response to Apple News+. Nobody has faith in their ability to long haul things. Especially as niche as this.
I've personally seen it again and again with numerous people that they really can keep up a level of productivity most people only dream of for more than just 8 hours a day, consistently for most of their lives. As much as you want to believe that all humans are equal, we really are not. Either you don't want to see that reality, or you've deliberately or accidentally never ventured out enough to encounter them.

In general in software Engineering (I can say with some confidence since I made the transition between) people get the idea that they're actually very smart when they are just _okay_. The easy six figure salaries which IMO are often the most undeserved (compared to other careers except entertainment) is probably to blame.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."
He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.
Does Safari sync your data to icloud? If so, it can be secretly subpoenaed.
Yeah, that makes sense. For smaller projects, I don't think anything matches Ruby in terms of pure solo-dev productivity. I still use it for scripting.

One thing I would advise, given your situation, is to avoid full-blown SPAs. You can use something like Stimulus Reflux and be way more productive than going down the whole React/Redux/library explosion rabbit hole. Ditto for spending a lot of time on Kubernetes, Docker, etc.

If you're not a full-time dev, just do things with the minimum abstraction needed.
I think you should consider taking payment out of the equation. Instead of having people pay for the rental, have them earn points for first renting out their stuff and building trust in the system, and then being able to rent other people's stuff. You would have to make the system itself trustworthy (i.e. fully transparent and math-backed).

I'm working on a platform which would enable something like this very quickly, and I'll include it as a test case.

Thank you for sharing!
Property tax was one of the first taxes, and property was essentially the major form of wealth from the advent of property rights until the last 100 years. We have always had a wealth tax -- albeit not federally.
> there's no reason a front end developer should need to care about it

Well, yes and no. You're right that trying to express every nook and cranny of the business rules as solely a UI problem is a wrong way of trying to understand the complexity. But a frontend developer does need to care about how to surface whatever complexity needs to be surfaced, and likewise, backend developers need to know how to model the complexity, and there needs to be some level of orchestration between all the moving parts. Remember, Uber is built on a microservice architecture, and many things that would be arbitrary hardcoded values in projects elsewhere (e.g. pricing) are instead tied to complex dynamic systems in Uber.

In the pricing example, when Uber added the option for drivers to set their own multipliers, it wasn't just a new slider in the driver app. It also affected the pricing AI model, the matching algorithm, how and when prices are displayed in the rider app, geofencing rules, etc etc.

When new regulations mandate that every commit that makes production changes in your city must have an appropriate audit trail, when you need to deploy a cheat-proof face mask detection AI model in response to a global pandemic, when you need to figure out how to make customer support cost $1 per engagement instead of $10, when you need to figure out how to make your network protocol faster in Bangalore, when you need to figure out how to make GPS more accurate in Manhattan, or when any of hundreds of fuzzy problems need solving, then saying that variations of all of these problems have been seen elsewhere misses the point that going from problem statement to deployed solution isn't always a trivial task.

The original question was why so many people work at Uber. The answer is that there are a lot more fuzzy problems than meets the eye.
I think that only impacts the website hosting.
I mean, I’m not sure your crime prosecution analogy works all that great considering how many times this year we’ve heard about defunding the police, and in how many cities the local prosecutors have been executing policy precisely of giving up prosecuting crime.
Sterilize-and-reuse programs for glass bottles are excellent, but they are rare. In theory melting down used glass for inclusion in new glass production is an energy win, but it seems to be rarely used in practice. About the best most glass "recycling" seems to do is mix crushed glass into gravel and paving materials.
Did you try custom commands? I have some for more basic stuff like 'get data-value attribute for the element with data-name attribute of x' which I can use in any test.

That said, I find checking for specific values in the page against other page values to be really difficult so if you're doing that with the table... good luck!
I think a transparent WoT system would go a long wawy
This is still done in Germany to a fairly large part, be it glass or reusable plastic bottles. An argument I've heard from the company producing one-time-plastic bottles for the Schwarz Group:

- Lots of chemistry and treatment is needed to clean used bottles.
- It is logistically more efficient to crush one-time-plastic bottles instead of moving around trucks with plastic bottles or heavy glass bottles.
> The bridging requires the binary to have the com.apple.vm.networking entitlement, and Apple docs helpfully give this note:

>> Note This entitlement is restricted to developers of virtualization software. To request this entitlement, contact your Apple representative.

I have not done development in Xcode for some time, but the first thing I wanted to do for an internal project was hamstrung by restricted entitlements. Luckily, it was just an experiment, but it makes it feel like this is coming up a lot. Is there still a way around this (i.e. to run your own code on macOS) ?

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a project based around Virtualization.framework; that’s both exciting and disconcerting. Issues like entitlement deals (that I will never be able to obtain) make the wide open path forward look a lot like a narrow track, the direction of which only Apple controls.
But the third-party tool frequently isn’t intended to (only) consume machine-generated config. It’s usually built to consume a format that could equally be machine-generated or hand-authored. Usually with an emphasis on hand-authoring, where machine-generation is an automation over hand-authoring that will only need to happen as one scales; and so high-complexity machine-generation will only be relevant to the most enterprise-y of integrators.

Other examples of formats like this, that are hand-authored in the small but generated in the large: RSS, SQL, CSV.

Again, Kubernetes is a prime example of this. K8s config YAML is designed with the intention of being hand-authored and hand-edited. It’s only when devs or their tools need to auto-generate entire k8s cluster definitions, that you begin needing to machine-generate this YAML. This generated YAML is expected to still be audited by eye and patched by hand after insertion, though, so it still needs to be in a format amenable to those cases, rather than in a format optimal for machine consumption.

> if we're generating this config with code then we don't want to diff or edit the generated config

Look more into GitOps. The idea behind it is that whatever tooling you’re using to generate config is run and the resulting config is committed to a “deployment” repo as a PR; ops staff (who don’t necessarily trust the tooling that generated the config) can then audit the PR, and the low-level changes it describes, before accepting it as the new converged system state. It puts a human veto in the pipeline between machine-generated config and continuous deployment; and allows for debugging when upstream tweaks aren’t having the low-level side-effects on system state one would expect.
How much of that is wash trading?
5% of 450,000w is 22,500 watts. That’s also 5% of the energy not going to charge the battery further raising the power pushed over the charging cable.

As for chargers with batteries, I don’t see how that’s viable. 75kWh would require each charger to have 6 powerwalls just to store 75kWh. If you wanted to dispense that amount of power in 10 minutes you would need 60 powerwalls per charger. Maybe a battery could be designed to provide higher power output, but it’s going to have the same issues that car will have when attempting to charge at a fast rate. Even with storage in the charger how quickly can it recover? Tesla superchargers run non-stop on busy travel holiday. Relying on a onsite battery would do no good on high demand days.
Knowing what to do in rare situation is what separates an advanced practitioner from an expert.
> increasing the national debt (which I'm for)

Sigh. Let's kick the can down the road some more.
Lots of hand wavy things and also the presumption that wealth must have come at some undue cost to others (eg low wages)
I agree with the article, but a wealth tax would not only increase revenue to pay for health care, education and other social benefits, it will also reduce corruption. There is a point that money is not used anymore to purchase services and goods but it is just raw power. Let money accumulate and an oligarchy will run your town, city or country.
Capitalism needs many business to compete to be effective, duopolies and other concentrations of power will kill capitalism. Tax the mega rich if you want a capitalist USA, because the alternative is an oligarchy running your business and a death sentence for the USA competitiveness.
You’d use that for service-to-service stuff, to mutually authenticate services (not users), as well?

I’ve always thought of AWS IAM as: great for my-service-to-cloud-service, not so great for my-service-to-my-service.

I haven’t looked at AWS IAM in a while. I’m gonna take another look now :)
What a great comment, thank you for this perspective. The west is weird, the more privileged people get the more "problems" they have. I wish there was more understanding about this, like when people start making up new things they are suffering there should be a serious way to address it as a first world problem that can safely be ignored. But then of course you get "in trouble" for not being sensitive enough.

When my wife and I started to have enough money, free time, a big house, THAT is when she started complaining about her "needs" not being met. When we were both broke college students she couldn't have been happier.
Does this effectively mean you can't sell the devices once used? [Edit]: Looks like you can reset it, so you can sell it.
> The assumption that a "wealth tax" will lead to a more equitable system is predicated on the assumption that: the government can use your dollar more effectively than you can at creating an equitable [wild, wild] world.

If the money is directly redistributed to those who need it, how is that the government deciding how it should be used?

Personal responsibility is well and good - we should all aspire to be more charitable - but it's become clear that it doesn't scale. Free-market capitalism is specifically designed to decouple the seeking of profit from the real-world consequences of that activity. This is what makes it so powerful, and also why it can be so destructive. It should be no surprise to us that a system designed to simplify and abstract people's relationship with society ends up eroding things like empathy and social consciousness.

If you ask me, human society can't effectively scale to this level at all. But here we are, and burying our heads in the sand when it comes to clear and present (and deepening) issues is foolishness.
Collecting revenues is not the point of wealth taxes. These are explicitly meant to punish success at getting wealthy.
What's the root cause of inequality? There are certainly historical causes of inequality (e.g. slavery, feudalism, colonialism). These root causes are largely in the past, though they have modern residues (e.g. racism, sexism, western chauvinism) which contribute to inequaliy. I think they are often less important than how already existing inequality is amplified by cumulative advantage dynamics (the rich get richer). A wealth tax directly reduces the amplification and wealth can be redistributed to reduce inequality (not just of wealth, but of education, skills, and status too) on the other end.
That Dothraki Horde, Part II: Subsistence on the Hoof
P.S. so im not a googler.

you misunderstand the intent of this - you basically set this. even if it fails (because messages are delayed), google will refund.

This has happened to us before - they do a refund - since you had set the limits correctly. In general, they are not super assholes. I actually dont know a case, where they have refused to refund.

AWS is better here - since GCP doesnt have a support dashboard. So the "chasing them" experience is much worse.
Finding their name isn't their hard part. Calculating their assets is. Imagine the following

I own a $100M building outright that I rent to tenants (say an office building) - it's illiquid with a thin market and I can't just move a building. So let's say I do this: I enter into a terminally settled, non-transferable, future-callable, sale-leaseback with a partial-repo feature, with an overseas bank. The mechanics are this: I 'sell' the building to, say, Nomura in Japan. This is the 'sale', but I don't take any cash. Instead, Nomura agrees to a 999-year lease where I can operate the building and the rent payments are settled via the sale proceeds I never received - this is the terminally settled part. I rent to tenants and keep the net operating profit. 'Future-callable' means I can undo this in the future; 'repoed' means that if I need some of the money that Nomura is holding from the proceeds, I can get it back in part.

You say, "but the operating lease has value!" - but does it? Its non-transferable, so it has no market value whatsoever, and I can zero the economics of it so it has no model value; you can't value that using any generally accepted measure. There are some detailed complicating factors in this example, but they can be sorted out; importantly, transactions like this are fairly common for (completely legal) reasons. The main thing I have done is taken the building out of my calculation of 'wealth' - I would have owed 6% times $100M, but now I don't 'have' a $100M building to tax - Nomura has the building, and they're in Japan. I will owe either income tax or corporation tax, but I would have owed that anyway. Wealth tax zeroed.

Now multiply this by literally tens of thousands of millionaires and their respective assets. At some point, the cost of extracting the tax is more than the receipts collected!

And this doesn't even touch on the fact that there are many asset rich, cash poor people. For instance if you own $25 million in shares in a pre-ipo unicorn, and you're making $175k in salary per year, where are you going to cough up the millions annually to afford the tax? These are real problems and it appears that the sole motivation why some want a wealth tax is not because it makes sense by any economic or policy standard, or that it might improve the lot of the man lesser-off, but because they want to make other people poorer. Full stop.

And that seems to me to be a morally toxic and ideologically disgusting criteria for developing law.
You've truncated the quote to imply the opposite of what the article says! Here's the rest of the passage:

Graham thanked him, awkwardly — he thought they had bought some cereal for him as a weird or bizarre gift. The founders told him, no, they had made and sold the cereal boxes — it was, in fact, how they’d funded the company. They told him the story behind the Obama O’s. Graham sat back and listened, newly intrigued. “Wow,” he mused. “You guys are like cockroaches. You just won’t die.”

I can add something about the cockroach metaphor. At the kickoff meeting of the W09 batch, pg told us "you have all been chosen because you are cockroaches—except for one group of romantic dreamers". Of course we all thought we must be the romantic dreamers.
I've never used this particular library, but I did put together my own simple evaluation engine and have found it very useful for a range of purposes.

Initially it was designed to process incoming slack messages, and sometimes trigger a notification to an on-call engineer, but over time I've found uses for it processing email, scripting simple actions on my desktop, and more.

These kind of things are pretty simple to write, but sometimes I almost think it is a shame there isn't something more standard. (Lua was kinda winning for that embedded-logic role for a long time, but nowadays we still have the mixture of YAML, HCL, and other niche-specific language/filtering and I imagine the time has passed to pick one standard.)
If 2008 taught us anything, the money printer solves all problems. It’s all imaginary anyway.
Gigabit up/down fiber here, with the most recent Orbi WiFi6 mesh (ax6000). WiFi speeds one room away are about 360Mbps.
The idea behind the code being async is that you don't know how long things will take, especially talking to a backend, or even sometimes DOM manipulations in dynamic pages like you mention.

Having said that, I find parts of it v confusing (although not the asyn stuff) especially around assertions - there seem to be multiple ways to do things and I'm never clear which is which.

As a sibling reply said, try to write cypress (or other similar product) tests not to rely too much on layout - I use html data attrivutes rather than text or Dom based selectors, so the tests can survive most redesigns, and if they don't, it's because the user journey has changed enough that we _should_ be changing the tests.
It is like the other commenter said, hit or miss. More importantly, sanitizing trumps rules. It is simply a bad idea in a pandemic to carry around and re-use plastic bags. Lowering the surface area of potential contact is important.
