I’m confused how using their assets to borrow against lets them avoid taxes. If they borrow $10M for a yacht, they still have to presumably back that money back at some point to whomever they borrowed from. And to get that money from their assets, they will have to pay capital gains taxes on it. What am I missing?
Yeah this guy presumably had a wide ranging network of people who he knows, who haven't been caught, but may be exposed ... by him. This dude now poses a risk to a lot of very worried people right now and presumably the people he relies on are running for cover / maybe less likely to protect him.

Twitter is a particularly well refined mob machine. No room for nuance, distribution at the speed of light directly into your feed and/or Trending, participants immediately rewarded for generating and spreading outrage.

I get that a lot of this was unintentional, but the dynamic has now been known for a decade and has only gotten worse. Why has Twitter the company and its employees not taken action to deal with this? Instead spending their time creating tools and methods to censor non-mob participants? (e.g. those who were exploring the lab leak hypothesis) Why isn't the mob a top priority?

> I generally operate under the stance of "the platform is neutral, it's what we make of it that matters". I'm not entirely sure that's true

I left the platform when I found that neutrality not to be true. I could tolerate the insanity from other users by simply not following them. But when Twitter itself started to censor direct messages due to links in them to an article they did not approve of, I made of it an exit.

I will gladly participate in a neutral forum that includes some of the wonderful voices I used to follow on Twitter. I really hope that one or more emerges that are driven by protocols rather than proprietary platforms.
How to Make Your Money Before the Project Even Starts
I am ignoring nothing. It is obvious that the author is stating that social media causes breakdowns into unruly mobs. I disagree with that sentiment. The author and I have differing opinions.

However, the author decided to post a longform article on the topic with no evidence to support their claims, and in some cases, outright lies. I don't believe that claims should go unchallenged, especially when made on such flimsy ground.

Don't allow your biases and reactionary tendencies to force you into the mob mentality you claim to stand against.
Yes and no.

I don't think it's likely that inequality will go away, a minority will likely continue to hold the vast majority of wealth.

But, as technology gets better the incentive to exploit the bottom end of the wealth and power spectrum goes down, technology does the job better than manual labor. Moreover people don't actually like to see other people suffer as a rule of thumb, so given the absence of other incentives the QOL for the bottom end of the spectrum likely goes up. UBI is a much bigger ask when it's 30% of the GDP than 3% (made up numbers).

Especially given that we have reasonably functional democracies in many countries today, I think it's pretty likely that the social problem works out well.

It's also not like I expect AIs/useful programs to be a rare resource, the best one might be, but like all computer programs they're infinitely clonable, there are only artificial sources of scarcity, and scarcity of (more or less fungible) computational power. This isn't a setup that lends itself well to the hording of resources. Moreover maintaining the technology will probably consume some humans in frankly not that exciting jobs like "maintenance programming"... and those humans probably won't come from the high end up the wealth/power spectrum, but will be high leverage. That points to a society that is likely to have reasonably good class mobility. The cards are stacked in favor of democracy working reasonably well.
This is (very unfortunately) true, and I honestly don't know people get it to work in larger school implementations. The idea behind BigBlueButton is spot on and ultimately I hope another FOSS tool can help to fill this void
Remember Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" from secondary school? [0] Fundamentally these coordinated social media attacks are witch hunts. When the 'good feminists' viciously attacked Margret Atwood accusing her of being a 'bad feminist' as she strongly supported due process defending a male professor being accused of sexually impropriety is the moment when these modern witch hunts went too far. More so than when Reddit misidentified the Boston Bomber or other instances. The moment they attacked Margret Atwood they attacked the very idea of due process which she strongly warned women about in her book "The Handmaid's Tale". Nonetheless, it is part of the human condition how we organize into social structures whether being a small town in New England or a capitalist economy to join groups attacking someone else since it prevents the focus of the attack being on ourselves.

The only way out is through due process and supporting it even for the worst of the worst.

>> If it is income, wealth tax, capital or some new form, the outcome has been clear.

In 1980 the US Govt collected $517 billion in taxes ($1.68 trillion in 2020 terms). In 2020 this number was $3.71 trillion. So then, the US Govt is collecting over 2.2x in taxes and inequality keeps getting worst.

How can it be that with more tax revenues, people are worst off?
It still is a zero percent loan, though. The price that you pay for the car isn’t the same, I agree, but the loan is 0 percent. The OP wants a way to preserve capital for other investments, so paying cash upfront defeats the purpose.

Well, Internet was indeed designed for redundancy, and it worked as intended. A no point in time it failed to make you reach the server it was supposed to make you talk to.

What are failing are all the application protocols that are running on top of the network.

I literally implemented this not a month ago. I don't understand the complaint at all. Terraform is easily able to orchestrate a cluster then use it's data to configure the provider. The provider details does not need to be available until resources are created using the provider, which won't occur until the EKS cluster is available.
However it's a _good enough_ fallback that has been working for many groups. Yes, it doesn't solve the issue for all possible groups. But Apple likely doesn't care yet, and probably shouldn't until there are other changes it can work on that would affect larger groups (like bringing FaceTime to the web).

This would also affect most home owners. They purchase a home, it goes up in value, and they refinance or take a second loan rather than sell the property. The wealthy do this as well with property, art, and securities. Trying to tax unrealized gains (like a home that has appreciated in value) would be a new mess of tax legislation with holes you could drive a semi-truck through.

Snobby.
I explained my thinking because I can _imagine_ it to also describe someone like Buffet's thinking.

The top 0.1% have about 11% of the income in the US, or about $2Tn. So for someone like Buffet, a one-time contribution of half his net worth—which he has promised to do—is about $55Bn; an extra 1% effective taxation of the income of the 0.1% would be $200bn _per year_.

So even if you're Buffett—and even if you're pledged to donate have of your personal wealth to charity—it's a pretty small amount compared to the ongoing returns from a small tax increase.

I do strongly disagree with many of the things my tax money goes to, obviously. But I think this is where the "King of the World" thing comes in. ;)
I agree, but even Biden’s opening gambit, which I believe has very little chance of passing as is, doesn’t eliminate it entirely. It seems to have powerful supporters.
Fossil has enough wiki and theming features to power a customized website and to let you edit its contents in the browser. I've joked that Fossil SCM is secretly "Fossil CMS".

My personal website, https://dbohdan.com/, is powered by Fossil. A year ago I was shopping for a wiki engine, didn't love any I looked at, and realized I could try something I was already familiar with: Fossil. It did take a few hacks to make it work how I wanted. The wiki lacks category and transclusion features and, at least for now [1], can't generate tables of contents. I've invented a simple notation for tags and generate a "tag page" [2] using a Tcl script [3]. The script runs every time I synchronize my local repository with dbohdan.com. The TOC is generated in IE11-compatible JavaScript in the reader's browser [4]. The redirects are in the Caddyfile (not in the repo). Maybe I'll migrate to a more full-featured wiki later [5], but I am enjoying this setup right now. I am happy I gave Fossil a try.

Fossil also has a built-in forum engine [6]. I am thinking of migrating a forum running on deprecated software to it.

Edit: My favorite music page and sitemap are generated on sync, too. [7] The sitemap uses Fossil's "unversioned content" feature to avoid polluting the timeline (commit history). [8]

The Watercolour technique of Miles Birket Foster, an English painter (1800s)
This looks like a really interesting take, in that it doesn't implement an i3 style bar, but rather keeps the native Windows taskbar interface. I'll be giving it a try when a binary release is available. I gave Workspacer a try, and found that it is very slow to switch between workspaces- maybe 500ms. Something I've always wondered is, would it be possible to create an alternative display manager? I know that the Windows display manager is fully isolated, but I'm wondering if it also handles how graphics are drawn, so that it would not be practical to replace with an alternative. With the new Windows Terminal and Windows Subsystem for Linux, I could imagine myself using an alternate display manager, and not even realizing that I'm running the NT kernel...
Definitely agree with this, Go is so verbose for the application. When I wrote a provider, I had the same problem. What made it even more worse is that I was connecting into an API that made use of dynamic json generation. So many interfaces and other hacks to get the json documents to parse correctly.
Hm, I wasn't aware of that, I've only seen content blockers that provide kind of vague "block ads" checkmarks. I'll look into that, thank you.

Parallel reconstruction is the phrase you're after.
This maybe a clickbait "outrage" piece pandering to reactions and offending the audience for profit.

While it is true that many forms of extremism (woke, QAnon, Trumpism, neofascism, neocommunism, neoliberalism) have turned large swaths of society into liabilities, but I fail to see how closing-off opportunities to everyone arising out of one particular educational channel creates a "safe bet." It seems more like some sort of tribal virtue-signaling aligning towards anti-intellectual sentiments.

The lack of leadership and mentorship is a structural, societal signal of overworked parents across-the-board. If you want better-behaved people entering society, then they need their parents around more and more interdependent in the neighborhoods they live in (community) rather than everyone alienated from each other (anti-community). I would put the blame squarely on the shoulders of a government drunk on the power of corporations to squeeze blood money out of people rather than pay them decently and let them have actual "work-life balance."

There is absolutely no reason not to hire from any good university if the individual got there through merit alone, without the benefit of legacy. They would likely work harder than most because they often suffer from overachiever syndrome (OAS); it's very contagious and may cause resentment in mediocre coworkers.

Edit: furthermore, when almost everyone's basic and material needs are over-met, there is a gradient of tendency for people to become pettier, more arrogant, myopic, hyper-individualistic, rude, and elitist because status becomes the most aspirational goal when there is nothing else for them to live for. It explains the genesis of why so many city people act Kafkaesquely-shallow and Seinfeldian. They have no real goals or purpose except maintaining and protecting their inflated egos.

Edit2: Is the "self-esteem" movement perhaps, at the core, a manufactured, self-indulgent spin on the lionization of narcissism?

Fork() on modern Linux is very fast/lightweight. This isn't true for all POSIXy operating systems though. This would perform really terribly, for example, on any Unix implementation from the early 2000s or before, and maybe on some current ones.
It would be really cool if this worked with Firefox. Anyone know of a compatibility layer which would allow this to work?
Firefox performance has improved a lot on my 2019 MBP over the past year or so. For video streaming, it doesn't seem to be much worse than Chrome.

One of the reasons why Firefox and Chrome use more power than Safari for video streaming is that they support modern/open video codecs that don't have hardware decoding on Macs. For example, YouTube has been using VP9 for years. Until Catalina, Safari would load a h.264 video (that's why Safari used to be limited to 1080p) which has hardware decoding, while Chrome and Firefox would load a VP9 video at higher resolutions and use software decoding, using way more power than Safari. Now YouTube is starting to use AV1 and again, Chrome and Firefox supports it, but Safari doesn't.
Kubernetes is one conceivable incarnation, but it operates differently than other infra-as-code tools. Terraform, for example, builds a dependency graph of your resources and initializes them in order. Kubernetes doesn't care about dependencies, and it just keeps trying to create resources and things will fail until their dependencies come online.

Further, Kubernetes manifests are the verbose "assembly language" layer, so you still need something for humans that is DRYer.

We use Terraform to manage Kubernetes resources (as well as cloud provider resources) at the moment, but I think you can equally use cloud provider operators for Kubernetes and manage everything with Kubernetes--I haven't tried this yet so I can't comment. In the latter case, you would still need something to DRY up your Kubernetes manifests. Also, if you aren't running on Kubernetes and you just want infra-as-code, k8s is an expensive solution (in terms of operations).

What I was picturing was a more conventional infra-as-code diffing engine (like Terraform's) but with a more verbose interface similar to Kubernetes YAML.
Don't make up lies about a dead man's claims from over a decade ago. Pretty basic rule. Unless you're writing clickbait, then by all means do whatever the hell you want.

If you're going to call someone a liar, test their claim. Don't go "they were lying, because a decade after their death everything is different".
The flaw here is that they're not following the laws that we the people have enacted. They're following the laws that they themselves have lobbied for and bought the legislators to pass for them.

If you only condone taking legal courses of action, how would you go about opposing those billions and the leverage over the legislative process that brings?

It's all well and good to take a moral high ground and say no one should ever break laws, but when the laws are exploitative and the legislators are beyond real influence, what other recourse is there?

Ah yes. As if re-writing history was the primary major concern.

Let's say I'm a malicious actor. I say I shipped 1 ton of gold bricks, and entered that on the blockchain that "provide a level of audibility and traceability that wasn't there before". Only one single brick reaches the final destination. No history was overwritten.

I'm on the current Oracle Linux 7 with the btrfs layout on the UEKR6, and I've had no problems.

I know that it is possible to take a snapshot, yum update, then reboot to the snapshot subvolume to roll back the update, but this seems like a reasonable feature for a single-disk workstation. (I've never tried it, though.)

Setting zstd compression per-directory also seems appropriate for single-disk workstations.

I can also defrag, which a ZFS single-disk workstation absolutely cannot do.
