> So basically, some way to prevent wealth from being passed across generations?

That wouldn't help much. The children of the wealthy benefit from connections obtained while their parents are still alive. They receive a head start from birth. By the time they are in line to receive an inheritance, they have already had more opportunities for success than the general public.

Yep. Rich people can hire experts to validate and spot check their ideas, even write articles and what not about it. I wonder how much money do I need to be able to do that. A few things in the list that cost money are worth it if done at the right time. Tutoring with the the right resource can be the best investment sometimes and of course rich people will afford more of that.

This looks like an almost exact rehash of most of the advice from Tim Ferris' four hour work week.

Claude Shannon inventing switching theory is kind of like the american belief that the bessemer process originated in pittsburgh, or that the Intel 4004 / 8008 was designed by Intel and not N.E.C. . This technical-superiority propaganda is a relic of the cold war and we are seeing the same thing now with the rise of Chinese technology firms. In fact, similar to edison/tesla as well.

I'm not positing that one side is better, more that the US technological superiority is mostly a facade. Especially problematic as it creates complacency.

I find the idea of it as a phase of matter very conceptually elegant in that it neatly classifies life as a unique but still physical phenomenon. Nevertheless I agree with you that the details of the definition are hard to pin down.

Of course I have yet to see an attempted definition of life that isn’t a little squirrely or that isn’t just a list of criteria taken from the one example we have.

Bought shares for about $2k (1 penny strike price) 2 years before IPO, now worth $20M. Later joined another startup, bought shares just after 1 year cliff, got acquired 6 months later. Made about $80k.

Taxes can be tricky. For each stock, you have:

* strike price: your cost

* fair market value: the "value" of your stock when you buy, usually set by a 3rd party

When you buy your stocks, you pay taxes on your virtual gain (fair market value - strike price). So you may have a huge tax bill to pay years before you can make any real profit.

On the other side, in the US, if your stocks qualify as small business stocks (you bought your stock when company had < $50M in assets and hold them for 5 years), you pay no federal taxes on first $10M.

If you buy your share early, less taxes to pay, possible QSBS, but might be a loss. If you wait longer, your options might expire (typically after 10 years), higher tax bill (as FMV increases) but less uncertainty about the value of your stocks.
Your first sentence does not follow from your argumentation.

Because who do you contact for support when something goes wrong?

The problem cryptocurrency industry doesn't understand is when you work in finance you are heavily regulated. You cannot just work with "decentralized" systems and call it a day. Every action you do is answerable, everything is questioned and scrutinized.

Having someone like Ripple and XCurrent as an intermediate as a regulated company helps solve a lot of problems. Since Ripple itself is regulated it's easy to justify to regulators. Ripple is also answerable when transactions delay happens.

For Etherereum / Smartcontracts who do you contact for support when transactions SLAs aren't being met?

That also would be reflecting a significant (assumed-- possibly non-existent--see twblalock's reply below) reduction in the number of car crash fatalities we'd normally have if lockdowns weren't going on (There were 38,800 total in the US in 2019 [0]).

But data seems to be showing increased deaths due to overdoses & suicides due to those lockdowns, so it's hard to tell.

> Synthetic opioids (primarily illicitly manufactured fentanyl) appear to be the primary driver of the increases in overdose deaths, increasing 38.4 percent from the 12-month period leading up to June 2019 compared with the 12-month period leading up to May 2020. [1]

> Compared to the last three years (2017-2019), the number of suicide deaths was lower than average during the initial phase of the pandemic but, starting in July 2020, exceeded the past trend. The source of the increase was mainly female suicides, whose numbers increased by approximately 70% in October 2020. Suicides by young women (less than 40 years of age) almost doubled in October, with a 95.58% increase, compared to the same month in the past three years. The number of suicides among students was also notably higher in August and September 2020 than the corresponding numbers of past years. Our survey data indicated that the status of mental health among young women has been deteriorating in recent months, and also that young female workers were more likely than any other group to have experienced a job or income loss, suggesting adverse economic conditions surrounding some of these individuals.

Its more complicated (fiddly fine work) and you have all the drawbacks of the uncut male without the plus possibility of breeding from him if you wanted.

The equivalent of tying tubes for female dogs is possible; I gather. Again there's little point although the difference in doing is less. I seem to recall that dogs tend to regain fertility after a couple years too.

* Modify your stuff

...and write a script to do this, along with rotating your drawing tablet to match (which may actually involve rotating it the other way depending on where the cable is and what works with your desk. Because poking around in the prefs with just one of monitor/tablet rotated is a major pain in the ass.
I meant except for the monetary part. Let's say, I've put about 20h in it and I expect it takes me 3 times that. Just counting the time put in that kind of project, the outcome itself isn't worth it.

Considering this is a 10 years old android tablet that cost at the time ~300$. I probably could have bought directly a more modern one which is known to be flashable with linux.

The sentence I cited resonate for me as I often dive in a project and follow in the rabbit holes even though I know it's a bit irrational to do it.

About how to do it:
- you first have to find every git repo that may have relevant patches for this or similar device. There's the one open-sourced from the manufacturer, Google has one dedicated to the Tegra chipset, with more recent stuff but without any specifics about that device.
- determine what parts are relevant: definitely the board definition, the drivers. But then, that file weirdly named which appears to handle interrupts? Well better take it.
- adapt to changes in kernel interfaces: I've only come across name changes for now, but you can imagine it gets more complex
- finally: compile, flash, test! And probably keep doing that for a few cycles.

The trick is what the encoded sequence of bits represents. You have lossless "compression" built into the encoding of almost any kind of information because it by definition has repetition of some kind (if it didn't, it would be random noise).

In case people are skipping the article. preliminary numbers suggest that the United States is on track to see more than 3.2 million deaths this year, or at least 400,000 more than in 2019.

I think it can be an unnecessary procedure. Any procedure, no matter how minor carries risks. If people were responsible pet owners it would largely not be needed.

Also, some vets find the reduction in aggression claims somewhat overstated if not dubious. It can prevent sexual hyperness and bad behavior in some dogs where that is an issue, but again the benefits are often overstated.

The only real tangible and pragmatic arguement for is it prevents animal shelters from being full of even more neglected animals and animals being put down because they have no where to go. Again, if people were responsible...

From an ethical / moral standpoint you could get into the concept of personhood and partial personhood (we ascribe a certain level of personhood to our pets). The arguement being: If the procedure would be unethical to do to a child why would it be ethical to do that same procedure to an animal?

The answer is we, society, do not assign full personhood to pets. And so the ethics of how we treat them is different.

Though this has changed rapidly over the last 50 years or so and the relative amount of personhood we ascribe to animals has increased significantly. I suspect it will continue to evolve.
Question: what do you think about a tax rate determined by wealth, rather than the first derivative of wealth (i.e. income)? When a person whose net worth is $10,000 earns $5,000, should they be taxed the same way a person whose net worth is $1000,000,000 earns $5,000 is taxed?

We don't have full car crash fatality numbers for 2020 yet, but during the first 6 months of the year, which is when the strictest lockdowns were in effect, deaths were actually up 1% compared to 2019: https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/motor-vehicle/overview/prelimina...

You can also see monthly estimates here from the same source: https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/motor-vehicle/overview/prelimina.... Overall, 2020 is not stacking up to be a better year for car accident deaths than 2019 was -- certainly not enough to make a big difference in the total number of deaths per year in the US.
