Those high taxes were never about revenue, they were all about keeping corporate managers from looting the companies that employed them.
> there isn't a great way for any government to truly tax the rich

The burden of proof is on you then. For you to be able to say that, you'd have to enumerate all possibilities and then provide evidence why each wouldn't work. In the meantime, it seems obvious things could be better without needing to be perfect.
We should treat this study and the discussion of the relevance of the results as being highly speculative.

Firstly, near all genetic variants that have been found to correlate with age in one study population fail to replicate in other study populations, and this is true of studies with cohorts consisting of thousands of individuals. The study here used a primary cohort of less than 100 individuals over the age of 100. This is ever the challenge in research focused on extreme old age: very few people make it that far. There was a secondary validation cohort of a few hundred centenarians, but I'm not sure that should increase our confidence in the data, given the existence of other studies that did much the same thing and still failed to replicate.

Secondly, given the identification of a genetic variant, near everything one can say about it is quite speculative in advance of much more detailed research into how exactly that variant changes cell behavior.

Lastly, the most robust data established to date on the contributions of genetic variants to human longevity, with studies pulling from very large national databases such as the UK Biobank, suggests that genetics has only a minor role to play. Lifestyle choices and exposure to pathogens are the dominant factors. In the case of long-lived families, cultural transmission of lifestyle choices relating to longevity seems a more plausible explanation than genetics, given the rest of the literature as it presently stands.
I'm conflating them the way the article does:

> But more importantly, if you look at the mathematics, modified gravity and particle dark matter are actually very similar. Dark matter adds new particles, and modified gravity adds new fields. But because of quantum mechanics, fields are particles and particles are fields, so it’s the same thing really. The difference is the behavior of these fields or particles. It’s the behavior that changes from the scales of galaxies to clusters to filaments and the early universe. So what we need is a kind of phase transition that explains why and under which circumstances the behavior of these additional fields, or particles, changes, so that we need two different sets of equations.

The ultra-wealthy pay more tax per capita than any other group. This is the opposite of "aren't taxed"

My impression is that GWB and DJT delivered some very large tax breaks and that the “more” taxes would be more accurately described as a return to normal taxation levels, provided how much one agrees that post-Reagan establishes the level of normalcy.

I do agree though that the spending could be improved. That position varies group by group.

I'm sorry you feel that way. To be clear, I am not calling you racist (whatever that means exactly) and I am not calling that sentence racist, etc. But I have said racist things and held racist perspectives in my life; I'm human; I probably still do, unwittingly. I take that seriously - it hurts people, maybe more than anything else in humanity. (To make clear my position: I'll be damned if the scourge continues, on anything like its current scale, past my generation.) Also, sometimes I say things that unwittingly contribute to racism. If you did one of those things - I'm not saying you did - it wouldn't make you the devil. It's not about judging you; I assume you don't want to do these things either.

This is my personal point of view in more detail. From the GGP:

> The article makes a very strenuous effort to make a point about something something racism in rock that sounds a bit boring and trite to my ears.

IMHO that sentence makes a joke of the article's points about racism, and calls them "boring and trite". Also, importantly it's an expression of feelings, not facts and reasoning.

I'm saying it fits a general pattern: Very often IME, when racism is mentioned, people express skepticism in the same manner. The manner is an essential factor: It implies (and the GGP sentence says almost explicitly), 'these people can be ignored; I won't give them the time of day'. The power imbalance, that the vulnerable can be ignored, is at the core of racism; it allows racism to continue and be perpetuated; it puts the vulnerable under constant threat. Whether intended or not, I think the sentence repeats and reinforces that.

To dramatize it, imagine a city council hearing: Someone says they are the victim of ongoing violence and threats from their neighbors, and gives a reasoned, factual account. The city council member doesn't ask detailed questions and explore the issue and possible solutions, they say, 'something something threats - how boring and trite'. It's a clear message that nobody need care and the attacks can continue.
Talking from the perspective of local business owner - it isn’t possible to compete with Amazon on ”online” features.

This needs two efforts - people have to be Ok with an inferior shopping experience to a certain extent. Can’t have cake and eat it.

Second, Software powered world needs a different kind of monopoly control - we shouldn’t talking about “breaking up Amazon” - that just creates busy work from yet another set of programmers to work on duplicating everything Amazon has. That is a waste of resources.

Instead regulation should force Amazon to share its “retail infra” and may be allow local business to relicense/partner with some of it.

This is the best lie ever told, "don't worry, these taxes wont affect YOU!". Every new tax inevitably falls onto the middle class, because they can't hire people to restructure their wealth and the poor pay no taxes.

Lower taxes makes it less expensive for the rich to pay the government.

Look at housing and food costs to see how the middle class are affected, they don't get welfare, social housing, or food stamps.

I think what struck me was the juxtaposition of how well it worked as a solution for Tani's situation, compared to how poorly it would work in general.

No one would be surprised to hear that this solution doesn't scale, but the thoughts that it provokes in me are questions like "How does society produce outcomes that are nearly as good, but which can help more than just one person?"

Often there is an 80:20 approach, or the hard part is going from helping zero people to helping one person, but there doesn't seem like there's any way to adapt the success here to other instances of the same problem.

In fact, the magnitude of the success here could even be a distraction from more scalable solutions, either because people think that all such stories must have a happy ending, or that the only people who deserve such a positive outcome are those who are lucky enough to have rare talents.
> Russian propaganda is really good and works rather effectively. Which is no surprising as they use techniques mastered during 70 years of communism.

If only. Russian propaganda is hamfisted, direct and not very effective. It's magical efficiency is perpetuated in the West in order to demonize Russia.

If Russian propaganda was that good and effective, Ukraine would still be ruled by Russian-friendly elite and the country would have joined some sort of Russia led economic bloc instead of rushing towards EU and NATO.

Alas, Russian propaganda sucks, at least compared to what USA has to offer.

That's not the society I want. I don't want stronger doors everywhere. Tougher locks everywhere. Onerous security everywhere.

I prefer a society where passengers are free to chit chat with the pilots when they aren't busy. Where children who might be interested in being a pilot can see a cockpit in the air and how it's done.

I remember reading about the history of security in ancient Rome. The lengths to which normal citizens had to go to to protect their homes. I don't want that. No one wants that. No one wanted that then either.

It's a distraction from productivity. It's a constant worry factor that consumes brain waves that could be spent making all our lives better.

Instead, we have to divert our attention to those who want to make it worse.

> when I said "un otro" just pointed like "get it yourself"

I can understand why. Next time don't use that, is incorrect (would translate as a strange "an, other"). The correct way would be either just "otra" (another) or "una más" (one more), generally followed by a casual "por favor". Take in mind that beer is feminine in spanish so you have to use "otra" (not "otro").

Many other alcoholic drinks are masculine, but are often served in a coup or bottle, that are feminine nouns. You can ask for "otro vino" or "un vino" but "una copa de vino" (a glass of wine) is also common. To use "un más" instead the correct "uno más" (one more) would be also a common mistake.
In fact, assuming extra undetected mass to explain the anomalous motions of galaxies in clusters (as originally noted by Fritz Zwicky in the 1930s) was at least partly correct, because we now know that galaxy clusters contain rarified, extremely hot intergalactic gas (detectable only by its X-ray emission) in amounts equal to five or ten times the stellar mass of the galaxies. You still need even more mass in some as-yet-unidentified form (i.e., "dark matter") to fully explain cluster dynamics, but the basic hypothesis was at least partly successful.

(The "undetected mass" hypothesis also turned out to be successful in the cases of binary stars, including things like Sirius B, where the companion turned out to be a bizarre type of star never before seen or theorized.)

And, no, dark matter can't be distributed "arbitrarily": its distribution has to be consistent with gravity acting on an initially almost-uniform distribution with small cosmological perturbations (consistent with those seen in the cosmic microwave background).

No — there's no way to avoid the place and route phase for an FPGA, which is responsible for choosing where the components on the device that collectively implement your desired design are placed, and ensures they're wired together. Performing that task requires detailed knowledge of the silicon, and for high-end FPGAs that only can only be done by the proprietary tools the vendor provides. There are also many other tasks (e.g. timing analysis) that a tool like this wouldn't perform, which would also need the proprietary tools and silicon info anyway.

The goal of this project is to provide a better source language that various HDLs can target their compilers at. Currently, every toolchain de facto targets some subset of Verilog as its output language, and expects another tool (the synthesizer, also often proprietary) to map Verilog constructs directly onto silicon features, like multipliers
— and those multipliers get fed to the place & route tools. This approach works, but it's generally brittle, because no two Verilog compilers behave exactly the same (among other reasons) so the contortions needed to map constructs reliably tends to require a lot of trial and error and weird rituals.
Isn't that the backlash of them having been an overused tool in the past?
It looks this is used for WASM development, and it's built by the Bytecode Alliance[1].

Once your wealth is international, you don't have to pay on what you don't declare across tax regions. These havens arent really havens, as much as optimizations on where you declare assets based on asset class.

Of course nobody wants C to backstab them with UB, but at the same time programmers want compilers to generate optimal code. That's the market pressure that forces optimizers to be so aggressive. If you can accept less optimized code, why aren't you using tcc?

The idea of C that "just" does a straightforward machine translation breaks down almost immediately. For example, you'd want `int` to just overflow instead of being UB. But then it turns out indexing `arr[i]` can't use 64-bit memory addressing modes, because they don't overflow like a 32-bit int does. With UB it doesn't matter, but a "straightforward C" would emit unnecessary separate 32-bit mul/shift instructions.

If I remembered correctly, this incident was actually widely reported in China when it broke out. It was cause by many iOS developers in China chose to download a counterfeit version of Xcode because the network connection from China to any foreign servers are so bad.

Though, it is true that Apple never disclosed the full list of compromised Apps or how many users are affected. Also, I am not sure that sending Emails to affected users would be effective. Most of affected users come from China, and a significant portion of them use phone number instead of Email to register App Store account.

What you explained doesn't solve the problem. You still want to have an unidirectional network in place at least between your critical infrastructure to the monitoring systems.

Monitoring systems are usually separate and often have their dedicated network too, but they still need some sort of network connection to your critical infrastructure to do their job (monitoring).

So let's fix our code.

No; I say we force the compiler writers to fix their idiotic assumptions instead of bending over backwards to please what's essentially a tiny minority. There's a lot more programmers who are not compiler writers.

The standard is really a minimum bar to meet, and what's not defined by it is left to the discretion of the implementers, who should be doing their best to follow the "spirit of C", which ultimately means behaving sanely. "But the standard allows it" should never be a valid argument --- the standard allows a lot of other things, not all of which make sense.
