DuckDuckGo gives vastly different search results from Google. Last thing we need is the government involved in “improving” search results.
You can also go buy books and search for information without using electrons but the analogy is flawed. Your rainwater tanks do not have the economy of scale necessary to produce a natural monopoly until you build a tank and distribution system large enough to supply fresh water to an entire town, at which point it makes it difficult or impractical to compete.
but that is only 1% and real estate is generally considered less volatile than stocks
>The step up basis is insane.

Basis step up is extremely pragmatic, because it can be extremely difficult to establish the cost basis of a dead persons assets.

It's offset by the estate tax -- change your figures to $20 million and the situation is substantially equalized.
Until it doesn't. Printers setup have broke under all of the major OS I'm using, might it be Win10, OS X (either via Air Print or IPP), and Fedora.
likely everyone else just gets paid less in the interest of fairness.. this already happens at tech companies like stripe. "Oh we dont care how many competing offers you have or how qualified you are. we pay everyone the same in the name of "fairness".
Not necessarily. I know cities where you HAVE to use their water if you want running water. No digging a well.
If we have different goals that are both achieved by the same means, I don't see the problem.

I think raising money through the tax is important, but I think a more important long-term function of a wealth tax is to ensure that large fortunes eventually revert to the mean rather than sustaining in perpetuity for generations. (Unless they continue to be invested with above average returns for generations.)

Also - there are many taxes that exist not for the purpose of raising revenue, but for the purpose of a policy goal. To deny this would be to deny how a great deal of how modern public policy works.
ooOOOOoooo
I don't think so. Babies are constantly making sounds and trying to speak even when they have a very poor grasp on the language.

I personally learn much more from fumbling around with a language, and letting fluent speakers correct me, than I do from listening to it - though both are helpful. I recently had the opportunity to watch a lot of Spanish TV with a couple native Spanish speakers and I learned a ton from it. Through the commercial breaks I'd be repeating phrases from the show and asking them about it - or telling them my theories about what was going on in the show to see if I was understanding it.

> , there is a lot that says that the 1% actually pay the vast majority of taxes collected:

What a strange argument. I will personally pay 95% of all taxes in the US if I somehow make me make 99% of all income. Which seems fairly equivalent to your point, except both of my numbers are slightly exaggerated.
Even for Facebook, I don't think forcing them to sell whatsapp or Instagram would stop the fury at them on this forum and others.

Most people are angry at Facebook for reasons like not understanding their business model (they sell my data! is one I hear often) or because Facebook allows a platform where average people can speak their thoughts.
Even if you do move to alternatives to public utilities, many areas will not allow you to disconnect from them and have a required minimum bill.

For example, If I got many solar panels and backup batteries to power my house, I would still be required to pay $5 a month to the local electric company and would not be allowed to disconnect from them.
Don't repay that debt. Just have it in perpetuity, paying a little interest.

Yes, it's a maddening trend.

I have to evaluate many smaller company offerings and it has become crazy how most websites fail to communicate anything at all about what the product actually does.

Give me architectural diagrams and call sequences, high level API descriptions, etc. I want a page that will tell me what it actually does and what I, prospective user, need to very specifically do to use it or integrate with it. But no, none of that info is available 90+% of the time.

I blame it on how the website has transitioned from engineering to marketing. Way back, we'd get a website packed with information about what the product does and how to use it. Sure, it was ugly but whatever. I could spent 20 minutes reading and get a thorough understanding of how the product works.

Today websites are very pretty, smooth logos and lots of scrolling. But no info. Drives me crazy.

Why not instead just give them the developed tech and the expertise? Instead of sending tanks, send wind turbines and photovoltaics and release all the IP on them. Instead of suppressing development, let them leapfrog the carbon-intensive technologies.
Ah yes I figured I'd fine one like me in here. Seriously though, if you're having issues with your printer throw it away and buy a Brother printer, they just work and they have reasonable prices for replacement ink. They actually created a new type of inkjet printer, the ink tank printer[1] where you buy the ink in bottles and just pour it into printer tanks, it supposedly ends up being even cheaper on ink than laser printing.

People with an agenda always refer to nebulous externalized costs that they cannot actually quantify. How are you measuring these costs and what are they? What is difficult about building new companies to solve the engineering problems that stand in the way of the "tragedy of the commons" wrt the climate and infrastructure and other things which can scale? Because I see a lot of people making excuses for why we need a government to do everything, even though the most effective and realistic path I see when I survey the options is to procure funding from the private sector or from the said "giant centralized hand" which in the USA partners with private companies to actually solve problems and bring new products/services to market. That's what happens all the time here, so what's so difficult about doing more of that?

I see the "giant centralized hand" over in the East where they're heavily top-down management of the economy, and yet they're still building the most coal plants and driving those "externalized costs" you mentioned through the roof.

I think it depends on your location and situation.

A couple months ago, I had minor (in absolute terms) surgery which resulted in a good deal of pain; the doctor asked if I wanted a prescription for opioids, I said yes, it was sent in, no further questions.

Am I saying people in chronic pain don't now have issues? No, I have no direct experience with that situation.

But it's still quite possible for people to get opioids sometimes.

yes. endless creative solutions, hosed.

but it also won't really stop people who would do dynamic scripts. itcll just damn the casuals, the sensible would-be greasemonkey users.

google can't be so stupid as to believe these pathetic snivelling excuses they throw at us about security. we don't need dynamic scripts to dynamically make workloads, because we can build interpreted virtual machines with JavaScript that will run whatever dynamic code we want, without the executing code being dynamic.

this is all a sick sick sick dance to take power from users. to make extensions less obviously useful. it's absolutely gross. none of the presented arguments hold any water, and it's obvious.

or they really just are very bad at this, don't see the obvious, & are escalating a problem unnecessarily, while hurting the well intending friendly would have been enthusiasts.

No. For photos I use a service, like a sibling suggests. Sorting out the right paper and printer is not worth it for the number of photos I wish to print, which ranges in the single digits per year. I like to get larger prints as well, which means printers would be getting quite expensive.

Price transparency is necessary for the proper functioning of any market. Otherwise there is no clean signal of the supply and demand curves.

Lack of price transparency results to inefficient markets, e.g. someone consistently ending up with outsized profits.
You can google news about vegan trends in the market. Customers want more vegan products and therefore businesses are responding with more vegan products. Certainly could be marketing, and it can also be the case that there are more vegan products. This is just one example. Renewables are another clear example.

Because of reviews and Youtube and etc, companies are in an information economy where they depend on what the customers want/demand more than ever. So if those tools get leveraged more, then yes, the market responds and marketing for lying only goes so far before your brand is tarnished forever.

And I don't work in advertising - I still get paid very well as an engineer. And if someone wants to work in advertising, that's their choice and there are legitimate needs for that.

Most apartment buildings won't let you store large amounts of water on property.
I see. There might be a difference in opinion.

I think there is a fundamental difference in setting style properties in JS and setting CSS custom properties (even though CSS custom property is a style property). The main difference is that it is clear from the CSS that this property is dynamic and can be expected to change. If you overwrite a style attribute (e.g. `element.style.transform = "rotate(50deg)"`) this is less clear.

So in honestly I don’t see how setting a CSS custom property in JavaScript as lacking in expressing the intent.

I don't think there were any real military drones. While an RC model/quad with a grenade does qualify as a weapon, the purposely built military drones have orders of magnitude better communication over longer range, incl. remote high precision targeting, loitering times, and carry a high precision stand-off missiles (that is an important point because the defense has to shoot the small fast incoming missile while the drone itself carries several missiles and loiters outside of the CIWS/SHORAD range waiting for the window of opportunity, and thus shooting the drone itself requires much more expensive/heavy air-defense system).
I've just kept my names in a flat file and used grep since forever (at least 35 years). If I want to make a change I just use a text editor.

The critical aspect of drones is as cheap as you can get while being effective.

The US Military from a true large-conflict conventional war is currently most vulnerable to an economic conflict. We blew so much money on basically minor military maneuvers relative to a real big war, and it show that our defense industry is parasitic and corrupt.

Drones are the perfect counter: if cheap enough, plentiful enough, and effective enough, they don't need to be superior to their american counterparts. They just need to win the cost ratio by a sufficient margin.
So why then isn't this an anti-trust case instead of trying to make google a public utility? It seems Ohio is throwing cases and seeing what sticks.
But the minute you add a 1500 lb / 300-mile battery pack to a vehicle, it rockets out of the low $20,000 price range.

The biggest news of this vehicle is its price target. Sure, Ford is clearly cheating with the $1500 destination charge, but this is a low-$20,000s vehicle with only 160 HP.

This hybrid is fundamentally a different vehicle than pure electric (high torque / high-speed / etc. etc.). This is clearly some kind of cheap fleet-vehicle will be (hopefully) mass produced at rock bottom prices. None of these specs (2000lb tow capacity / 160HP engine / undisclosed 0-60 times, etc. etc.) are good by any stretch of the imagination.

This is a boring "Prius" idea, except made by Ford. Get an engine with just barely enough specs to get a job done, and then knock the price really low.
I have mixed feelings when people fight so fiercily against the "trying all possibilities at the same time" explanation. It makes it sound false, when in fact it is only incomplete. "Trying all possibilities at the same time such as they all add up constructively to the right answer" would be a better way to fix it.

From the article:
The goal in devising an algorithm for a quantum computer is to choreograph a pattern of constructive and destructive interference so that for each wrong answer the contributions to its amplitude cancel each other out, whereas for the right answer the contributions reinforce each other.

Get a laser printer. They're much more reasonable for home use than they were in 1999.

I bought a Brother HL-L2370DW (there's a bunch in the HL-L23xx series, varying slightly in speed and price and availability) about two years ago for I think around $120, which is cheaper than the inkjet my family had in 1999 (not even accounting for inflation). It's about as tall as my hand and it fits nicely on an Expedit. I print about two pages every two months. Since it's a laser, the ink doesn't dry up. It also sits on the wifi and works out of the box with my (non-Linux) devices without any driver setup, so I imagine it will work great with CUPS driverless printing on Linux. The amortized cost of printing (drum/toner) is about 4 cents a page.

I think there's a bunch of other options in the space of ~$100 small laser printers, and I think there are reasonable color lasers in the ~$300 range (but I've found I need color printing once every few years, and it's cheaper to go to the local FedEx or something than either pay for a color laser or deal with an inkjet and its drying ink).

EDIT: I see a bunch of other comments are recommending Brother specifically! I picked them based on an old Wirecutter review (now at https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-home-printer... I think) because they specifically mentioned reliability for low usage, and I can attest it's been great at that.
I'm a command-line person, and I've tried a couple of different options for online contact managements since 1993.

Existing software stacks (commercial and open source) have shown poor support for file formats, and there is usually some level of loss when exporting/importing as a consequence.

Ultimately, UTF8 plain text is hard to beat as the most durable format.

I've also written scripts to extract contact details from MBOX-format e-mail repositories automatically, to support my manually-curated contacts file. Anything not found in the primary file may be in the (messier) secondary file.

I like the ppl idea, but the realization lacks generality: many people I interact with have multiple roles, so it's not uncommon to have 2 phones and 3 email addresses, and several postal addresses (I think I just saw ppl's Ruby class can just manage two emails, hardwired). Also, I think ergonomically it's not a good choice to edit one field at a time over the command line. Even I as a die-hard command liner want to be able to edit a person's full entry at once in Sublime or Emacs. I also need to see a person's record completely togehter on the screen, not just one line at a time. Finally, a free-text field (to remind oneself where I met anyone, and to store hash tags for topics) and a great search (supporting approx. string matching) is a must-have feature that I rely on heavily.

I concur with others that a static binary is preferred for such a function to avoid dependency issues.

(Thanks to the Ppl authors for getting the conversation started about effective contacts management, I'm keen to learn more about how everyone else is doing it.)
