I'm an American, but I don't smile by showing my teeth, though I will sometimes do a closed lip smile. For me I don't think it is cultural, but rather that smiling always feels to me like baring my teeth, i.e. aggressive and threatening. I don't honestly know why I feel that way, I don't have any history or experiences that would seem to cause that, but it just feels wrong to do. I've always wondered if there are other people have the same reaction?

Note: I don't see other people's smiles as threatening, it just feels that way when I do it.
I think most people agree on the policy. The question in the US, at least, is whether unelected jurists with lifetime appointments are the ones who should be deciding those policies. Generally speaking, the reason for separating the two is that there's no political recourse for the judicial decision. That's how wars are started. In my mind, policy should be made by the legislative branch. These are not always bright lines, but at least in the present case, and what to do about those intergenerational externalities, they are in my mind very plainly matters of lawmaking, which is not the proper role of the US judiciary.

>this article in particular actually does a good job of distinguishing

I read it before I posted, and I think that by presenting wealth and income together, they are conflating them. The terminology is nice, but it is not backed up by the content.

For example how much of the wealth comes from income? I imagine a significant portion has not been recognized. Someone could be self-made and have billions in wealth but only a fraction of that has been recognized as income.
But they already know, per the quote above.

Yeah the systems are far from perfect. They're inefficient, in some cases unfair, and with regards to abuse perhaps rely a little too much on good faith.

Nevertheless the systems do exist. Financial aid was and even still is there for you or your business if you need it.

Paid it out as to owners/execs as dividends/bonuses, this is what happened in my industry to the companies that took PPP loans but had plenty of work and receivables to pay the bills. Plenty of PPP money was ‘used for payroll’ when there was already money for payroll, then the company is free to do as it wants with it (cash out to owners)
I think I've made it pretty clear "personal convenience" is not the issue at stake here. I guess you're just arguing in bad faith at this point.
At least in Germany there are so many ways to get deductions that you really want "do your taxes". Even as a regular employee. Especially while I was employed at a consulting company. Even as a regular employee you can claim part of your commute (IIRC you could claim the distance from your home to work). Then as a contractor (though I was not self employed but a regular employee of the consulting company) I could claim the entire thing IIRC meaning both traveling to and from work and even better, if going between clients in a single day that can be claimed. You could only claim the 'shortest path' unless you could prove 'significant time savings' by taking a longer route. The deduction was based on the distance driven. Also a daily amount for food was claimable for example but even as a contractor only for IIRC up to 3 months. And there's more like this and probably stuff I wasn't even aware of and left on the table.
Wealthy people hold investments that make let's say 7% a year, while working class people make $x a year that grows probably much less than 7% a year. So if inflation is higher, wealth inequality grows less quickly, or in some cases can shrink, as was the case after the world war, because Europe was destroyed so inflation was rampant which actually created a lot more equality. Same thing happened after the Black Death in Europe. It's painful in the short term but can help reduce wealth inequality. Also I wonder if people on a fixed income like social security might be able to stave off the effects of this if social security grew at inflation.

Thomas Piketty's book capital is a great source for this^
I was only supporting the:

> Finding time for six one-[unit] [block]s is by definition easier than finding time for one six-[unit] [block] of meetings.

that you responded to. As long as there's anything at all with fixed position, you can end up with fragmentation, and even when (you can guarantee) there isn't, the former is just "exactly as easy" as the latter, so the general case degrades to "is by definition at least as easy as".
I know that feeling. For me the only way to get out of it was to take a sabbatical. My interests and passions flowed back quickly.
It's actually not that hard. An extension field of field F comes from an irreducible polynomial f(x), irreducible meaning that in any factorization f(x)=g(x)h(x), g or h is a constant. Say f(x)=x^n+cx^{n-1}+...+d. The extension field is then denoted by F[x]/(f(x)), which means that every polynomial with coefficients in F represents an element of the extension field, and you set f(x)=0, so anywhere you see x^n, you can replace it with -(cx^{n-1}+...+d).

For example, the complex numbers are represented in this notation as an extension over the reals R by R[x]/(x^2+1). In this notation, "x" is essentially acting the same as "i" in the conventional complex-number notation, because anywhere you see x^2, you can replace it with -1.

Multiplication works by multiplying polynomials as usual, then reducing the x^n terms to lower-degree polynomials. Inversion of a polynomial g(x) with degree less than n works by solving the equation g(x)h(x)=j(x)f(x)+1. Since g(x) has lower degree than f(x), and f(x) is irreducible, they are coprime, so appropriate h(x) and j(x) can be found using Euclid's algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Euclidean_algorithm#S...). OK, maybe that last bit is a little advanced, but Euclid's algorithm is also very simple arithmetic.
I don't see how their argument makes sense, it somehow implies that "our" generation won't see any ill effects yet. That is just trivially wrong if you talk about the environment in general, because whether you think that climate change will be noticeably during "our" lifetime or not, there are things we could do to the environment to make life bad for everyone within a few years. So there needs to be at least some limit to what "we" can do to the environment, assuming we follow that premise in the first place.

Going back to climate change specifically, we can accelerate or decelerate that as well. Are the people you have heard arguing saying that legislation should keep climate change in check, but only in so far as it only affects generations after the current, however that may be defined? Even going with that ridiculous premise, I am not sure how that could be implemented.

Yes, but stock ownership isn't even and so it'll again primarily go to the CEO/etc (while reducing their tax impact).

I could see Following topics from a person becoming a feature. It's a natural extension of the current feature set.
Topics are "curated" at best and algorithmic garbage-in-garbage-out at worst. Subreddits are moderated, often by people with at least a passing familiarity in the subject matter. Moderation allows on topic discussion without putting a gatekeeper behind exposure, as long as posters follow the rules.
To add another wrinkle to your "proposal", the cost of moving is also very real. If a money helps you remain in your current home for a couple of months that allows you re-establish your income stream without having to both spend money on moving and disrupt your life entirely (imagine having kids switch schools along the way too).

If you are going to help people in need, the best way to do it is with money. Sure, some will misuse it, but we should never optimise for the worst case scenario, but for the most common one.
You can do those things without having to tax the rich more. The treasury printed trillions in covid aid yet income taxes will not have to go up to pay for it. Inflation just budged a little. Bond market still holing well. Same for the US dollar.

I've seen this funny effect too. I can deal with enormous projects and complexity at work, but sometimes my personal life feels like it's in shambles and nothing on my to-do list is getting done. The reality is that work has taken up everything I have and there's nothing left over at the end of the day.
I saw 2 kinds of "small" businesses in Canada. One kind was hit so hard the bailout money they got wasn't even close to enough to keep their business running. The other kind wasn't impacted or even benefited from increased revenue.

I know of at least one company in the latter category where the owner pocketed around $500k and I don't think it had much impact on how they ran their business. All they had to do was not layoff people they wouldn't have anyway and the government picked up the tab on their labor costs for a year. Free money!
They also collected $64K from a Kickstarter while boasting about having "secured the majority of our funding from some of the best investors in Silicon Valley." So arguably they did promise some tangible results to some non-professional investors/potential players. Of course, by now everyone should know that Caveat Backer is the unofficial motto of Kickstarter.
That's definitely one way to solve the issue, but I wouldn't say it's the only way.

In Rust, you can configure Clippy to ban the usage of +-*/ and require explicit behavior of each calculation. For example, 10u8.checked_add(10) returns an Option<> (similar to Maybe in Haskell) so you can handle overflows. You can also use 1u8.saturating_sub(100) which will not allow wraparound but values will saturate at the max/min.

The ruling by the german constitutional court was definitely not judicial overreach.

For one because rejecting laws on constitutional grounds is the main purpose of that court.

But more importantly, the court started it's argument with the observation that the german goverment and parliament committed themselves to the goal of co2 reduction, by signing and ratifying the kyoto protocol.

From that follows that it is quite unfair (unconstitutional even) to put the major portion of reductions towards the end of the deadline, effectively pushing the burden on younger generations.

Measured by their own standards and all that...

I agree the ecosystem is what makes WordPress attractive. I'm impressed by the efforts put into third party themes and plugins that are simply amazing but the WordPress core is a joke.

One of its function name is literally "the_content();" where you output the main content in a theme, no class, no context but just a dumb function that sits globally to force the output and there are global variables like "$wpdb" that keeps the database methods.

Of course, you don't want to look how messy the database schema is. Configuration values are just thrown into the db with serialized strings with random keys, you'll never know what's where.

Seriously a first year high school student would put out a better code and no wonder it took so long to iron out vulnerabilities and performance issues to acceptable levels but the mess is already there and people have to live with it unless someone brilliant creates a new platform with theme and plugin compatibilities to WordPress, so the ecosystem lives for people to move on to it.
No, because for some reason you prefer to value the lives of non-sentient embryos that are not human over, for example, extremely sentient non-human lives, unless you're also a vegan out of ethical concerns.

If that's your position it has nothing to do with science. Value systems are informed by science but ultimately determined by subjective values.

I subjectively don't give a rat's ass about an embryo that cannot feel anything and that has not experienced consciousness. I'd much rather care about sentient non-human beings.

Companies can raise prices and avoid the effects of inflation so equities will continue to rise, while cash deflates in value. Real estate values keep pace with inflation, generally speaking. Any borrowed money can be paid back cheaper (debt devalues with inflation) which helps anyone who is leveraged on their investments crank up the ROI even more. I’m sure I could come up with more but those are the main three that came to mind.

I always find it odd that these articles pretend that you can educate everyone well enough to earn a middle-class job. I believe it's more like a Red Queen race, meaning that as soon as you increase the average education of potential employees, companies will equally raise their requirements.
This… has been tried, many times, and been found to not work too well. First off, unless you socialize the whole economy (well, that has been tried as well), government-provided food is still bought from somebody, by the government, and typically this is seen as a superfluous and inefficient extra step.

Second, people very much like going to a supermarket and being able to pick their groceries and other necessities, and having the government distribute some sort of standardized alimentary packages to those in need does not work too well. You could have whole government-run supermarkets with their government-run logistics chains, but again, historically that hasn't worked too well (and I'm saying this as a European liberal leftist!) That said, there are some specific goods and services where a single-payer system works fairly well, such as medicine.

Third, government-supplied housing has, of course been tried as well [1], and housing projects like that often have a tendency to turn into slums sooner or later. It can be done right (first rule: you cannot isolate poor people into their own neighborhoods! [2]) but it's highly nontrivial because of, among other things, NIMBYism.

Your hypothetical example is interesting because I'd come to the opposite conclusion. If we knew now that the solar system would become inhospitably to human life in, say, 500 years, no person alive now would be directly affected. But I think we'd absolutely have a moral obligation to start spending resources now to prevent harm from our descendants. Isn't this almost a sci-fi trope?

I think it's hypothetical, either because while we know that the solar system has a finite lifetime, the time spans involved are absurdly long -- billions of years --, or because there are many more imminent problems that need solving (which, I suppose, is also related to the large time spans, which makes the solar system's death rather non-imminent).
I don't believe this is true at all. In fact it continues the class signaling and strata that a suit does, just in different ways.

On the compartmentalizing aspect, I have a room that I _only_ use for my job. The art is tasteful but subdued, the lighting is set for conference calling, I have a nice mic and a nice camera. I wear the same outfits I would wear to the office, not my weekend wear. I cuss a lot less in this "office". I use words I do not normally use in every day conversation. I am playing a character all the same, just as I am in the workplace.

The only difference is now the fact that I _can_ do that and others can't exposes class divides that we used to be able to somewhat hide. When we all went to the office, we were what we brought to the office. Now _some_ of us are able to curate the office that we now inhabit, but others are left to do the best with what they have.

Honestly remote work exposes class divides more than going to the office ever did.
It is, but Jews have both the arrogance as well as the capabilities and the IQ to make their attempts successful

Regardless, the more impulsive a society is, the more arrogant it is.

America and especially American Jews have the right mix of arrogance and capabilities to make the dream come true.

I'd say :

1) Africa has all the arrogance and impulsiveness but lacks in capabilities

2) Asia has the capabilities but lacks arrogance

3) Europe has both the capabilities and the arrogance but not as much as USA

4) Usa is the sweet spot, and American Jews are in the sweetest spot
