In fact, there was a wine store in New York City that tried to post the real prices and had some legal issues, so they would post _both_ the "price before tax" and the actual price (in some format that allowed them to evade the laws, so stupid).

I now live in the Netherlands. All prices are what you pay, _and_ the receipt breaks down how much of that goes to taxes, which I think is completely logical.

Also not everyone pays the sales tax so it's probably easier to show price without tax and then on checkout you apply the needed tax rate.
There isn't a finite amount of "wealth" in the world. You can go out and make wealth every single day. The rich obtaining more of it doesn't mean there's less left over for you and I.

People need to be able to cover their needs. Food, housing, healthcare, and I'd be open to arguments in favor of education. But I don't see income inequality as bad necessarily. I see massive amounts of people unable to cover those needs as bad. Fix the problem that people can't cover their needs--not that fact that some fortunate entrepreneur got richer faster than me.
As long as there are people who think it's pretty there will be products that use it. Return of the Obra Dinn got a lot of praise for its visuals.
This is why Musk gets away with what he does, his fans never know better. The Freemont gigafactory isn't even producing close to as many cars as when it was the NUMMI plant run by GM and Toyota.

Tesla's competitive advantage was a willingness to cut corners. Other companies have been testing, developing production processes, building supply chains. You can bet there won't be a Bloomberg model 3 weekly production tracker for their cars since they'll make what they plan, which will actually happen when they say.

If you measure performance in 0-60 only, and pricing/efficiency in self reported/marketed EPA range (not actual real world range) then Tesla is definitely ahead.
Not OP, and I agree that they should include the total payment expected but at this point the goalposts have moved from "adobe charges subscription cancellation fee" to "adobe doesn't show the difference between monthly and annual" to " adobe only shows the difference on the actual payment page" to" adobe doesn't display the annual total on the payment page".

Im no adobe apologist, but this entire thread is a witch hunt.

I think they understand noblesse oblige. But it's a 2-way street. Don't expect them to feel a sense of obligation if you're going to assume the worst about them just because they are rich.

>It's at best a band-aid attempting to treat a symptom caused from underlying issues. We need to treat those underlying issues--not the symptom.

The underlying problem is that the economy is breaking basic macroeconomic equations, namely that savings must be invested. A wealth tax would force such an outcome. This is unpopular for republicans. Government investment would force such an outcome. It's still unpopular for republicans. Building more houses would force such an outcome, it's unpopular for democrats. Deeply negative interest rates for consumers would force such an outcome except that cannot happen because people will just hoard cash.

I can list more and more things. The pattern is clear, all the options are disappearing and we are left with nothing to do. The reason why economics doesn't work isn't that the textbook is wrong, it's that people come up with more and more sophisticated ways to prevent the textbook rules from functioning.
Thanks - Alpine.js looks like an appropriate choice in general, but unfortunately it’s not supported by these particular components. However, the announcement does say “we're looking forward to exploring other frameworks in the future (Alpine.js is next on our list)”.

PCIe has the optional "relaxed ordering" feature, allowing sending new packets before the ACK has been received from preceeding ones. Not sure precisely how this works, if there is some TCP-like window scaling algorithm in play or not..

Second to this I’d put good hiring. I have seen companies that try to follow these models without rigorous recruiting or hiring processes. It results in a huge mess because management has these massive expectations but the people they hire just aren’t good enough. As a result, everyone gets demoralized

I think we should start a discussion about a simple fact: the World is huge, US is only a small part of it.

For example: RMS did not believe in providing raises — prior cost of living adjustments were a battle and not annual. RMS believed that if a precedent was created for increasing wages, the logical conclusion would be that employees would be paid infinity dollars and the FSF would go bankrupt.

That's unlawful in Italy to avoid salary discrimination where people in poorer areas (the South) are paid less for the same job.

It's considered a great victory by Italian huge worker unions.

Or this other one

RMS created non-safe spaces at both MIT & the FSF. When I was at the FSF, RMS had little to no empathy for the staff. The FSF was not a healthy, functional workplace. We formed a union to help protect ourselves from RMS — he controlled our pay, benefits, and workplace conditions.

Again, this is totally subjective.

It's a work place not a kindergarten, you don't like the place you leave, we are talking about software engineers not cleaning staff, they'd have a chance anywhere else.

this is simply this guy personally holding a grudge against RMS, but there's nothing objectively bad here.

You know what's really bad?
that it happens at Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple l, but you don't know because workers simply can't talk about it.

Low paid workers fear of losing their salary, high paid workers don't care about them and also don't want to lose their huge benefits and say screw them

What is terrifying is people thinking that knowing something is worse than not knowing because if you talk, it's bad for you.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/may/05/amazon-pr...

What is bad IMO is thinking that unions are inherently a bad thing, but I am glad they exist and I am member myself of one of them in Italy that has 5.5 million other members and I gladly pay monthly to be part of it,even though I rarely need them they offer free services and protection to all the workers.

If nobody has been fired, harrased or threatened for proposing to unionize, that's a great plus in my book that puts the FSF ahead of many other job places in the US.
Comparing their asset balance with the market cap of its stock is complete nonsense.

Tesla has 100% access to the BTCs and other asset it holds but there is no access to the market cap. Its a fictive price tag on all existing shares. People use it to compare companies. The money does not exist anywhere and certainly can not be used by Tesla.
Really interesting, because the covid longhaulers are experiencing symptoms that flare up during menstruation.
Don't blame "the people". The vast amount of money printing by central banks are the cause that holding onto cash and saving has become a high risk operation. The solution is going back to the gold standard.

The economist is owned by the same people that own your central bank. If they write about the "detrimental effects" of crypto, crypto must be really good.

I live in Norway. When I sign up for a phone subscription with a 12 months period for example, it will continue to run yes but crucially I can cancel at any point after those 12 months are up without any fees or anything, that’s what I am saying.

12 months binding is fine. Cancellation fee before the 12 months are up is fine.

Automatically binding your customers for another 12 months every year is insane and extremely hostile and abusive behavior. And I will have no part in such things so even though I love the software that Adobe makes I quite frankly will avoid doing any business with them ever again now to the extent that I am able to.
There should be a difference between the "official Facebook of X" and the "official site of X". Billy Bob and Aunty Jane should be free to communicate to the world via Twitter, but the government, IRS, emergency services, etc. better avoid the level of indirection. Provided they care, of course.
Exactly. Which means when you finish school, if you have a student loan you have negative wealth. If you finished a good school and can expect a decent career you are not in a bad situation even though your wealth is negative.
Yep. Wealth being withheld by capital so it can be a carrot dangled in front of the worker is exactly the structure the left wants to dismantle. And we see with the gig economy and heavy use of contractors at big tech how much labor has lost. Absurd to say they should be happy. Folks have no healthcare, no job security, no free time, and no workplace satisfaction.

If anyone wealthy is reading this:

Go find some podcasts with David Harvey, Richard Wolff, Nina Turner, Angela Davis, and Bree Newsome Bass. Learn from the left what they actually want. If that sounds absurd to you listen to a few talks by Jonathan Haidt first and then you will see why it matters. The left makes a lot of sense but you won’t know that if you believe what shallow outsiders say about the left.
Did you actually see how this really works before forming your opinion? The only thing my family needed to migrate to Switzerland was one job contract for my mum, not even a well paid job but some future potential due to relatively good education. The most complicated part was not paying way to much to get our stuff over here.

Its not to different in many other countries. The thing is, if you are somewhat valueable (i.e. learned a job that has a higher need) you have a realistic chance.
If you have to pay 100% of the remaining balance in order to cancel, then that simply means that there isn't really an option to cancel at all.

As an aside, you (paxys) are all over this post's comments defending Adobe vigorously. Do you possibly work for them?
> You have to address the cause

The causes are embezzlement and fraud (tax and otherwise). The drug trade is a flashy source of money laundering demand. But it is one of many.
This is interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'm in favor of preventing wage theft. That certainly seems corrupt.

Paywall, but even the first few available lines of the article begin with lies:
in a harsh penal colony

It's not a harsh colony, there's even video available where Navalny lies on a bed most of the time, drinks tea, does nothing.

Besides what's the point of Navalny dying in prison? He's not that popular in Russia. Here most people believe he's a crook and/or CIA agent. He's more popular among Russian emigrants. Here in Russia very few people believe him.

It's an opposition figure that is actually helping Putin by being such an easy target, e.g. spending people donations on luxurious hotels in Thailand.

Besides, if western readers/journalists could read Russian, they'd be flabbergasted by the bullshit Navalny says. Firstly, he's nazi and his political career started with nazi slogans (nobody wants to remember that now, though). Secondly, he's saying dumb populist bullshit. I listened to his "presidential programme" - it's for people with IQ of a room temperature. There's no substance in it.

Protestant zealotry? Seriously? When you bring religion into it, at least get the religion right:

The Google founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, had Jewish backgrounds but consider themselves non-religious. Facebook founder Zuckerberg had Jewish background and considered himself atheist at some point. Microsoft founder Bill Gates is Catholic. Paul Allen had Jewish parents. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was raised Catholic. Apple founder Steve Job's closest religious interest seems to have been Buddhism. Steve Wozniak describes himself as atheist.

So we don't find a single Protestant, certainly not a Protestant fundamentalist, among any of the founders of the 5 largest tech companies.

Forcing after-tax price displays make tax revisions harder to notice so there are pros and cons to that
You've got cause and effect reversed. Bill Gates started giving his money away after he was attacked for his anti competitive behavior and attempts to kill open source, etc.

The rich donate because they are protecting their reputation and for the sake of their own self image (everybody needs to be the hero of their own story).

The only ones who can manage that and not be charitable are the utterly self deluded (e.g. Trump).

Don't expect them to donate a damn thing if they are lauded as heroes. Bill Gates likely wouldn't be giving his money away at all if it he didn't feel the need to repair his image in the 2000s.

Same reason all of the robber Barrons were philanthropists - do you think they would have been more charitable if they had been cheered on instead of villainized? Like hell they would.
>There isn't a finite amount of "wealth" in the world. You can go out and make wealth every single day. The rich obtaining more of it doesn't mean there's less left over for you and I.

Non invested savings are zero sum. This is just macro economics. If one person has a savings surplus, the other person has a savings deficit (unemployment). Buying existing housing isn't an investment. Building new housing is. Buying an existing company isn't an investment. Starting new companies or growing old companies is.

Non invested savings are growing, just look at treasury bond yields and interest rates. If you buy $100 worth of treasury bonds the government has to issue $100 in debt, otherwise yields drop. If the government doesn't issue additional debt it cannot invest the additional money on behalf of buyers of the treasury bonds. Conventionally, inflation would rise immediately because more money is circulating in the economy but it doesn't, implying excess savings that are not being invested.

"Replit now supports KaboomJS" seems a better title
I don't agree with the rebuttal - it seems like the author is picking a fight that's more of a woke-style personal attack than addressing problems that follow from wealth inequality in the US today. Knowing Paul Graham from years of reading his essays and tweets, he's very much aware that there's many people suffering in the current system. But that isn't the focus of the essay, and in today's climate you can't get away with writing about the "priviliged" without spending three paragraphs on disclaimers first. PG didn't put in the disclaimers, so he gets pummelled.

Acknowledging that the USA has horrible problems with poverty, where wealth inequality superficially appears to be part of the problem, I have the following suggestions:

-Universal healthcare

-Social safety net in terms of indefinite unemployment support and disability pay, so health issues and unlucky upbringing or genetics doesn't lead to destitution and permanently being in the world's shittiest negotiating position. Maybe basic income.

-Finance the above by taxing everyone, including the rich, at a similar percentage as the middle class, designing a tax system that avoids the big loopholes. A wealth tax may be a part of that.

This ensures that lack of wealth doesn't translate into de facto slavery and lack of power over one's autonomy and personal life. It sets a minimum.

I live in Norway, where total taxation is >50% of income on average, we have a 0.85% annual tax on the total value of all assets, capital gains tax is 32%, universal healthcare, de facto basic income system where everyone uncapable of otherwise either get a public-sector administrative job or disability pay.

We have imported the same debate that the author is fronting. This is ludicrous. We don't have a problem with poverty. We have implemented the dream of the American left. Wealth inequality is only a problem if you find it morally problematic in itself. And yet people are still complaining about it.

At that point, it's only about envy and not trying to make the world better.

> He doesn't get when he's being offensive or ineffective and won't listen when well-meaning people try to work with him to do better.

I want to live in a world where being "offensive" is not a crime, considering that being offensive to who is really subjective. There is a large difference between a man's character and his own work. Jobs is idolized by the US while at the same time being recognized the worst asshole one can have worked/lived with (he even denied recognition to his own daughter). Just label RMS another asshole and move on if you don't like the man. I wonder how many of his critics live a real life, with real bosses, colleagues, even family members and friends they don't agree with. The road to hell is paved with attempts to please everyone.
It is much easier to be functional parent when your material needs are met and you are not under big stress. That is my experience from my parenting and from family history.
