Doesn't count if its not an orbital class flight. Seeing the Virgin Galactic suborbiter drop from the two headed monster airplane looks so wrong in so many dimensions, including the immaturity of flight avionics when compared to what SpaceX has already done and improves in so short a time. Your eyes role when you hear of 18 years of investment in another vehicle and they haven't tested one vehicle at all! And, they want 6 more years of funding without marking exactly when the first test vehicle will fly!
Uh, yes? All of those. What do you do, hope a salesperson in a retail store doesn't rip you off?
Yup, exactly that. We also use the US Dollar as main currency since 2001.
> Hm, have they though. It seems like they're awfully reliant on TSMC still.

Well just for your information, they are not. The so called chip shortage is because a Renesas factory which produces microcontrollers burned down. To put this into perspective is like Intel using one of his fabs: you have the motherboard but no processor. Usually changing a component is no big deal but in this case is like a complete redesign.

So i do not see any link here between Bosch and TSMC.( except that they both make "chips").

I'm working on my passion project that incorporates some features like this with some differences:

* not only contacts but also tasks, projects, notes and calendars

* not local, instead it uses a self hosted rest-like api wrapping a database centralizing all state

* embedded MQTT broker that publishes CRUD events so you can hook into any events to script automations

* cli client that works similar to this so commands can be chained in shell pipelines

* there's also a tui client (mutt-inspired) and I might do web/mobile later

It's far from finished, but if you're interested send me an email (link in profile) and I'll keep you up to date.

Logically, after you check-out of a hotel you've surrendered your right to abode at that location - after that you're usually limited to common/shared areas like the lobby, bar, restaurant, maybe the pool - but excepting the lobby those places are closed at night - and they'd have security to remove people from the lobby if necessary - so as far as the Eagles' are concerned, what is it to "never leave" when you legally cannot stay?

I hate masks too. But the moment you realize masks are more about protecting the public from transmission when you happen to suddenly get sick and isn’t about your protection, you’ll literally breathe easier by choosing to wear the cheapest masks. You’re better off obsessing about who you’re around and washing your hands if you’re worried about Covid. That’s why wearing N95 and fabric masks is overkill. Buy the mass produced disposable black (not thick fabric) masks. They look better than the blue ones. And if you wear glasses, they have slightly better airflow. Put a box in your car, a box in your house, a box on your desk. And then just grab and go! It’s surprising to me that we’ve been through a year of the pandemic and people still can’t adopt a change in routine!! And you don’t need a mask while exercising!!!!

Incidentally I just finished building a new Win7 machine yesterday and applying all the updates.

You are correct, this one wasn't caught organically through Windows Update. I had to install the KB4555449 Servicing Stack update first (https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB455...), after which I was able to install the patch you linked. Did it on two machines (one freshly formatted, one old) and it took several minutes on each to install (longer than a typical update), and required a reboot after.

The only reason "your money" has any value at all is because it can be used to pay taxes. USD is not backed by anything other than the government's "threat of force" to collect taxes.

So in essence, taxes are a service to you, they make your money worth something to other people. Without that, we would be using soda pop bottles (or whatever) instead.

Stock prices are okayish compared to interest rates of other investments. But a lot of money got printed which can/will lead to inflation which in turn pressurizes the FED/EZB to increase interest rates. If interest rates need to be rised we will see a lot of problems: Falling stock rates, defaulting countries, domino effects... Which will keep FED/EZB from doing that...

I expected a crash since more than 6 years and I expected a much deeper fall than March 2020 which kept me from investing enough into stocks :(

The much bigger issue than short/middle term monetary policy though is the demographic change/transition!

You know how people, especially software developers, complain about being interrupted by others at work? I, as a dev, have recently realized that this can sometimes be a good thing. It gives the brain a few seconds to unconsciously process whatever we are working on. I have found a few times recently to return to my work with a slightly freshened mind, sometimes having a better solution than the one I was working on.

Now, this said, there is a balance. We don't want to be interrupted very often but sometimes taking a break, even for a few seconds can be a good thing.
Either that, or change the law so that it becomes enforceable, or spend more resources on enforcement. If the law is enforced in, say, 1% cases, why is it even there? Most people who break it face no consequences, and it has a potential to be a tool to unfairly target people ("we want to destroy you so we will find a law that you're breaking that is normally not enforced and lock you away for that").

As for the specific example, yes, I think felons that served their sentence should have their full rights restored.

Are you being deliberately obtuse or just really not able to understand that Apple provides two things: 1) an operating system with ancillary features and 2) an App Store with applications for sale?

iCloud is not an app that you can download on the App Store. It is an ancillary service for the operating system.
> A and B are not the same, even if one encompasses the other in some meta sense.

What does "meta" mean in your usage? I may be missing some point you are trying to make. Personal wealth taxes encompass unrealized gains taxes, not in a "meta" sense, but in actuality.

Do you disagree?

> ProPublica says "we'd love to see more of A, which is separate from B, as B doesn't seem especially workable".

I took that to be ProPublica saying "one way to increase the total effective tax rate on the ultra-rich would be to tax unrealized gains. Wealth taxes do that; here are some downsides of wealth taxes as implemented elsewhere."

This strikes me as...fair and balanced reporting?

> A is actionable in a direct sense.

I don't know what this means. Hypothetically the US could have either a personal wealth tax or (only) a tax on unrealized gains.

> And if you wanted to do it in a direct sense, the M2M date you'd pick would not be the first day of the tax year.

No, I agree with this. The Swiss system uses mark-to-market at the end of the tax year. So...point you?

If ProPublica suggested the beginning of the year instead of the end of the year, I overlooked that. Good job catching them on this error, I guess? Or something?

> And you wouldn't use a fixed formula that ignored actual results of the asset.

I don't know what you mean by this. Can you rephrase?

I think that's exactly what 'computer literacy' should enable laypersons to do.

And we as a profession should be teaching that and developing assistive tools (like htmltidy) rather than intrusive ones (like hugo or worse wordpress. Both or nice and helpful but intrusive nevertheless). Kids should learn this in grade 6 or so. Be it in school or elsewhere. Before they post pictures on inhumane and ignorant advertising platforms they should know that they can do otherwise.
If the information is valuable, why aren't we paying for it? That's the problem we still haven't solved. It's why you are Google's product, and it's why companies use that "sticky" behaviour. You need to be a user, a member, a customer - that way you might eventually give them a few dollars instead of glean a little information and forget they ever existed.

I really don't know what a good customer-centric endgame looks like. Maybe a self hosted AI assistant that knows what I need, coupled with a micropayment infrastructure to apportion funds based on where I visit? No idea.

The scenario fails with a different estimate. If one chooses 1% p.a. then it's even less plausible that "Big Ag" is going to offer 200x the value of the property!

> > Unimproved land will be less, of course.

> Unimproved land would be more since a higher tax rate is needed to bring in the same tax revenues if you exclude the value of the improvements.

Interesting. I hadn't considered that. I'm hard for me to understand the implications. Anyway, you seem to be suggesting 10% of the total property value (including improvements), which is far higher than would occur in practice.

> Property owners have the right to keep their property no matter who wants it or how much they are willing to offer. Regardless of the reason.

Right, so I think your objection is to LVT at all, not this particular strategy of countering under- and overvaluation. That's a reasonable position. I don't agree, but I'm sympathetic. Your particular objection about "Big Ag" buying the family farm seems a too precise and implausible objection to the very vague system I laid out.

(Or intended to lay out. If readers misinterpreted my comment then I take full responsibility and apologise!)
There seems to be a trend recently to push consciousness “down the stack” of intelligent behaviours and consider it to be fundamental. As has been pointed out in another comment though, our own experience as humans is that we often perform highly complex tasks requiring intelligent behaviour unconsciously. Driving, or reading for example. Sometimes I’ll drive a route, or read a chapter, but afterwards I won’t be able to tell you what happened on the route, and won’t remember anything I read, because I was thinking about something else at the time, or maybe was just ‘zoned out’.

I suspect that the self reflective aspect of consciousness evolved to help us learn and develop new skills. It’s at least partly for responding to entirely novel situations using new behaviours. But once a new behaviour is embedded we can often do it largely unconsciously. So I don’t see complex behaviours performed instinctively or by rote as indicating conscious thought.
