> I’m a senior engineer and I have a hard time navigating tax forms even with the help of Intuit, and it frustrates me that I have to pay Intuit (or someone else) to help me do taxes which are complicated in large part because Intuit et al lobby for complex tax codes and against the sort of Swedish model you describe.

I don't think Intuit has anything to do with why the tax code is complex. Their lobbying is for making filling out the forms complicated, such as by stopping the IRS from pre-filling forms with the information they already have.

The tax code complexity almost all stems from people not wanting to pay tax. That complicated the code in two ways. First, it means that we get exceptions and special cases written into the code either because people that want to pay less tax convince Congress to make a special case for them or Congress takes advantage of the desire to pay less tax to provide exceptions to motivate people to change behavior.

Second, it means that if there is any ambiguity or wiggle room in interpreting something, someone will exploit that to pay less tax than Congress intended them to pay. The tax code gets patches to fix that, usually resulting in an increase in complexity.

A great example of the later was that a long time ago a big company was going to give shareholders a dividend. This would be taxes as ordinary income to the shareholders.

Someone came up with an idea to turn that into capital gains instead. Rather than give a divident, the company first did a stock split, say 100 for 99. So each 99 shares each stockholder held became 100 shares. This is not a taxable event.

Then the company did a stock buyback, 1 out of every 100 shares. That decreased each stockholders holding by 1%, so every 100 shares a stockholder held became 99, and the stockholder got some cash. That is a taxable event, but it is capital gains.

Net result: every stockholder ended up with the exact same percentage of the company that they started with, with some cash from the company, and got to pay the lower capital gains tax on that cash instead of the higher income tax.

The tax code was patched to fix that. Buybacks became ordinary income. But it didn't end there. Consider a family owned business owned by four members of the same family. One of them is moving away and will not be participating in the business. The company wants to buy him out. It was generally agreed that this was not a buyback to dodge taxes--it is a legitimate buyback and should get capital gains treatment.

And so the patch to fix the buyback tax dodge needs an exception to try to recognize "legitimate" buybacks. It ends up having a formula that involves looking at the distribution of ownership before and after the buyback and having several criteria for recognizing when the distribution change signifies a legit buyback that should get capital gains treatment.

This was a fairly simple instance, so it only added maybe a few paragraphs to the tax code, plus some more to the regulations.

But that sort of thing is all over the code, sometimes just adding a few sentences, and sometimes pages.

Not true. States like WA have general B&O taxes which are a tax on revenue, not profit.

A valid criticism is that Google's own products will presumably not be penalized in search results for these low scores.

I'm happy to be wrong on that assumption, of course, but I think it's a reasonable one to make, and it severely dampens my willingness to agree that Google deserves praise for setting a high bar that it must itself struggle to reach in order to provide real value to users.

In urban area's sure, but I don't think it's fair to call it hoarding in suburban or rural areas. There's tons of land in the US, it's just that there are no homes _right_ next to jobs and restaurants and the culture people want to live in.

Now that I'm remote, I plan to move to a rural area and grow some of my own food in a single family home. I don't think that should be considered hoarding.
San Francisco is an interesting case cause they used to have a land tax and economists argued that's what cause San Fran to be quickly rebuilt after it was burned to the ground in 1906. Land owners were still taxed the same, even though their building was gone. They'd have to either sell or rebuild.

Contrast that with New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Property owners had their buildings destroyed, so taxes went to zero (taxes based on the property value, not the land value). This incentivized property owners to wait and see if their neighbors would rebuild rather than take immediate action.
The other problem is substitution. WalMart will sub something different as if it's the same. They also assume you picked up if you go anywhere near the store.
It must be said that an svgz can be decompressed and manipulated by any svg supporting tool, including inkscape which adds specific tags to more easily edit it later.

Considering an svg takes a very little space compared to the rest of a project, this won't make a big difference on size.

Also, an svgz can be streamed decompressed at the same time it is parsed, so it is not too much of a complexity, processor time or memory even for the cheapest cellphones.

I really wonder what is the use case for this format.
Check out tide. It's still very early days for it, but is in my opinion the easiest to use and I'm betting in the long term will win out as the "express" of the rust world.

First, a disclaimer: I think Another World is a triumph, and one of my all-time favorites. I remain as impressed today as I was when I first played it, decades ago.

That said, I feel Chahi did paint himself into a corner: the ending of Another World is abrupt, and leaves things mostly unresolved, the fate of our hero uncertain, his story arc incomplete. I don't think Chahi even knew how to end it. I know there's an official sequel, Heart of the Alien (not on PC) but nowadays everyone agrees it's... less than good, and in any case, Chahi wasn't involved, so it's not his vision.

I think it took couple (2?) years before bunnyhopping was discovered. We knew there is a lot of funny things happening with physics in the game but nobody put them together.

We knew, that there is maximum forward and sidespeed but they way they add together is simple vector addition, so you could actually get higher maximum forward speed if you could point that vector forward.

We knew it is possible to preserve momentum when turning in air. We abused this jumping outside of ledges and then turning and going back to where you came from. This was very useful on dm2 where there is a ledge, a pool of laval and a wall that divides the ledge. You are supposed to press a button to actuate a ramp on which you could cross the lava but you could also just jump and turn in air violating any physical intuition. The jump can be seen here https://youtu.be/VT-johLi75w?t=128. This jump has a bunny hop component to it but it is not necessary.

Is this really about taxing multinational companies or is this about establishing a "minimum 15% corporate tax rate" for every SME and mom and pop shop?

TFA says that Ireland is going to accept the change: atm they've got a 12.5% tax rate.

What about Hungary? Corporate tax rate at 9%.

Once this shall be in place, the one sure thing is this "minimum 15%" is only ever go up, never down. There won't be any incentive ever to make it go down as there won't be the risk of companies moving abroad to pay less corporate taxes.

And this says nothing about dividends or income taxation, so you'll end up with SME owners paying "minimum 15% corporate tax" and then on top of that 34% dividend tax, for example.

I really wouldn't be surprised if this was sold as "tax the FAANG" while ending up trouncing the SMEs owners a bit more.

This problem stems from ISP unwillingness to be categorized as infrastructure, like a phone company. If they were, they could use the same arguments that you can't force a phone company to terminate phone service just because people are using it for illegal activity.

But if they were to be classified as infrastructure, they'd lose the lucrative edge they have now, so it's far better in their eyes to lose this fight, aggressively cut off internet access to some of their subscribers, and reap the rewards of a non-regulated service.

Take the example of the civil engineer you provided. The bridge he/she designs doesn't scale -- it supports a constant flow of people and goods and services through it. Doesn't that make it less valuable than the example engineer's software, which can scale up (and FAANG level software is usually processing/exchanging similar if not greater value)? Also a civil engineer's job is less valuable if less people are commuting, there's less of a need for bridges. Also if studies show that SWE's are more productive working from home (don't have any data on this, just a guess), then SWE salary should have that factored in, since they're providing more value. Just playing devil's advocate about your example, I don't have an opinion yet on your projection. I think wages will largely also depend on the continued growth of the software sector and inflation.

Take for example an international coffee bar company with locations all over the world. They can transfer the ownership of the name, brand, styling, product recipes to a country with zero or low tax. Each cafe takes care of buying its own coffee but pays a license to use the name and branding

When someone in a small town in some part of the world goes to one of the branches instead of a local independent coffee house - isn't it a large part due to the branding of the company? the coffee is just a commodity costing a few pennies - all the value is made by the brand and the recipe owned by the company in the low tax country.
I could see Rust playing a role in microservises where maybe you have a cpu bound service like dealing with logins being in Rust but my guess is it still isn't worth the extra cost to develop and maintain over just scaling that service unless you are getting Facebook/Google level over Java.

I would love to know the real motives. I don't automatically buy the "ensure fairness for the middle class and working people" line. "Love for the people" is always the stated motive of all oligarchs and tyrants. And frankly, these politicians aren't exactly in some adversarial relationship, or at the very least a legal supervisory one, with corporations. That myth died a long time ago. Better to ask: why would corporations allow for something like this? Why would their political allies push for this? Somehow it must be in their interest. Perhaps they're hedging because they sense a real threat and have chosen to concede in some way, or perhaps this actually contributes to furthering some perceived advantageous end.

At this point I think he's fed up with the story and wants to move on to other things, as is his right (I would, too!), but there's no polite way of saying this without upsetting fans. In this day and age, you really don't want to upset fans and their accompanying hordes of vicious trolls.

I don't really follow? Workers are supply (their labor) and demand (their consumption), but as we have more productive industrial capacity and more of it, the cycle breaks down as not enough labor is needed, reducing their purchasing power and further slackening the labor market in a vicious cycle.

Retirees don't work, which means nevermind the absolute amount of demand (no kids, etc., make less per household sure) the ratio of supply to demand offsets the productivity / industrial capacity gains. Coupled with more retires, that could restore the balance and get the "Keynsian feedback loop" going again.

(We could still go into a massive worldwide recession, but that would be a political result of the powers that be not wanting the profit share of national income to decrease. That is plenty possible but not some unavoidable "demographic destiny".)

We've been using Actix.

We evaluated several frameworks and liked the model that Actix has and also its relative maturity (for example documentation / examples). It has been pretty straightforward to work with - including doing things like custom authentication and REST endpoints that dynamically exist.

For the drama, I guess you are talking about the situation that used to exist where Actix had hundreds of unsafe blocks. That's pretty much resolved now, with perhaps a handful of performance critical unsafe blocks left.
You can use WASM in extensions. WASM qualifies for independent pieces of code written in a compiled language. Does that make extensions plugins?

I really don't see how "compiled" versus "script" makes a difference. The are both independent pieces of code written to interact with an API to add functionality.

Extension, add-in, add-on, plug-in are all words describing the same thing.
