> How exactly does this inhibit tax collection?

If you have something that lets you "transfer large sums of cash untraceably across the globe, with no way for the government to do anything about it," it's going to make it easier to hide income and assets. That inhibits tax collection. (Same way cash does.)
> If your ISP changes advertised prefixes occasionally (which mine does), it was until now not practical to assign/use addresses with fixed host suffixes, e.g. for internal services

This is actually one of the use cases where 'private addresses' make sense: when you don't have a static assignment but need static addressing.

In the IPv4 it's very unlikely that you'll get a static address unless from ARIN/RIPE/etc (or pay US$ 25+/IP on the open market), so we have everyone using 10/8 with NAT. It's quite easy for someone to get a statically assigned IPv6… unless you're a home user. So if you want static address, use the IPv6 equivalent of 10/8, ULA:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address

Then you NTPv6:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6-to-IPv6_Network_Prefix_Tr...

* https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6296

* https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/nat/npt.html

The interface portion of the IPv6 address (right-most 64b) stays the same, and only the prefix (left-most 64b) gets shuffled as they pass through the gateway.
Index investing was not pervasive then like it was today.
> To me this is by far worst than any potential cancer risk.

I think anti-smoking/vaping organizations should put more focus on this. I never realized how much this aspect of nicotine takes over your life.

Personally, my thought process was always something like: Lung cancer and all those other health effects are scary and all, but they're gonna happen decades from now, and I'm gonna quit by then so it doesn't matter.

Whereas focusing on the immediate effects of nicotine addiction and how it drives your day-to-day life, that's not talked about enough.
It changes things, sure, but I think the person best able to adapt and take advantage of those differences would be the better overall fighter, not the person who has practiced more eye gouges or groin kicks. Against a more skilled opponent your attempts to groin kick or break a finger or whatever will most likely lead you to be knocked out or otherwise submitted just like your attempts to choke or side kick would under MMA rules. Being in a position to make those attacks generally implies that your opponent is either less skilled or is deliberately leaving those openings because they know the rules, and could avoid doing so if the rules were different or there weren’t any rules... because ultimately they’re the one in control if they’re a lot better than you at the core skills of fighting.

That said, given two otherwise equally skilled fighters, of course the one with more experience under the specific conditions would have an advantage.
You can still use git cli of course. There are still a lot of things I don't know how to do in Magit (though I'm confident I could if I wanted). Magit for staging, committing, fetching, and pushing though is so easy I don't know why you would want to switch to or open a terminal window and type commands rather than just use hotkeys. Try it!

Magit is actually one of the best pieces of software I've ever used.
I'm confused as to how millimeter wave can be first described as not being able to "travel very far, and they’re blocked by fog or rain, trees and building materials" and "largely absorbed in the skin" and them immediately after "this radiation may cause hypersensitivity and biochemical alterations in the immune and circulatory systems — the heart, the liver, kidneys and brain" - how is the radiation penetrating deep enough into the body to affect those organs?
Very cool. So needed. I will absolutely try your product. Your approach to "workflow" appears spot on.

I love the template idea. I always insist on an agenda, minutes, wrap up (next steps).

When I secretary for meetings, I create a shared doc, so others can help me live edit, proofread, etc. Having just watched the 2 min tour, maybe a future feature request.

Ditto versioning. When minutes get sent out, there's always some kind of followup, errata.

My prototypical shared doc (which I just copy for each new meeting) has date, topic, participants, etc. Since I'm mistake prone, I often forget to update some info. Fields for that stuff would be terrific.

I like the highlight (annotation) feature.

In my future perfect world, meeting minutes would be sync'd somehow to the actual recording. I rarely need full transcription, but embedded timestamps (to jump into recording) would be awesome. I've done this manually and it's a lot of work.

Thanks for sharing. Hera is really compelling. Happy Hunting!
We know that ionizing radiation has no safe upper limit.

We know that non-ionizing radiation can be harmful at a high enough dose (like sticking your hand in a microwave.)

This research suggests that non-ionizing radiation might not have a safe upper limit, either, only that we haven't totally quantified the damage it causes.
I think they haven't taken it seriously in the same way that newspapers didn't take internet seriously and by the time they did, it was way too late.

Python and Ruby are fine for embarrassingly parallel problems, like serving content from well-sharded users.

I'd be very surprised if Robinhood's trade matching engine is done in Python. I'd bet they use an off-the-shelf engine in C++/Java or another language with good multi-threading support.

You need to improve your reading comprehension.

I've already provided a definition of private information. You're rejecting it.

> I never said that people shouldn't be able to opt-out, and I don't believe that, either.

People shouldn't need to opt-out. People should need to opt-in if they want it. Opted-out should be the default state.

> This is a fallacy - not all of these programs have telemetry.

No of course not because some programs actually respect users' privacy.

> what is the possible harm that can come from the Audacity developers (not the world in general) knowing that someone, somewhere is using Audacity, and what buttons they're clicking?

What buttons do you press? There's no harm in telling me. Do you use my music app? If I change the EULA on the app and then send an update to you, what data can I steal from your computer? Can I steal your bank account information? When are you asleep? Can I find out when the best time would be to port your phone number? When are you most likely to be at work and nowhere near home so that I can muck around your home computer without you bothering?

What possible harm can come from Audacity developers holding private information? Clearly nothing at all. NO harm could ever ever come from knowing what software people use, or how they use it. Nope. Notta. Zip. Zilch. It's not harmful in any way. Speaking of which, what buttons do you press to unlock your phone?
That wouldn't be a big hurdle to overcome. They will just outlaw self-custody and make it illegal for you to own your own wallet/private keys without some kind of money license. The institutions will be unaffected if they still want to play with crypto for whatever reason, but other folks are going to be screwed because they won't be able to move their money in and out of fiat.
Yes to all this.

I think the factor most at risk in a fair use test with Copilot is whether it ever suggests verbatim, code that could be considered the "heart" of the original work. The John Carmack example that's popped up here at least gets closer to this question, it was a relatively small amount but it was doing something very clever and important.

One can imagine a project that has thousands of lines of code to create a GUI, handle error conditions, etc. that's built around a relatively small function; if Copilot spat out that function in my code, it might not be fair use because it's the "heart" of the original work. Additionally, its inclusion in another project could affect the potential market for the original, another fair use test.

But Copilot suggesting a "heart" is unlikely, something that would have to be ruled on in a case-by-case basis and not a reason to shut it down entirely. Companies that are risk-averse could forbid developers from using Copilot.
The sun also produces radio-waves, it generates very broad spectrum radiation, as do other natural celestial events.
All those sorts of flat tax ideas tend to fall down when considering how 'income' is calculated. Unless the policy says the state gets x% of every dollar of revenue, which creates wild disparities between industries with different margins and generally upends the idea of 'income', such a policy is quickly in the business of deciding what expenses can be netted against which sources of income by whom ...
Not OP, but yes, it should work (as long as you're talking plain DNS on port 53. Direct DoH, you're out of luck unless you want to DPI or block IPs (and if it's Cloudflare, it's block all of Cloudflare or allow their DoH version of 1.1.1.1).

IANAL: Could the government actually regulate crypto? I understand every transaction is public, but I thought one of the driving forces was that it could not be regulated or controlled by governments. Would the regulation be on how you buy, sell, and receive cash?
One reason is that DNS is UDP based, on which source IP spoofing is possible.
housing prices are increased because Uncle Sam is printing money and buying up all the mortgages that are being underwritten by banks. Increased demand and zero % rates lead to increased demand for housing and increased prices.

Every company does many many things in ways that could be improved. But usually they are good enough and because good enough is good enough, employees are paid to deal with the fact that things are only good enough instead of better.

Yes, working there sucks. That's why there's money changing hands.

Because things are good enough, there's no economic rationale for listening to complaints about them. Likewise, because things are good enough and employees are getting paid to deal with the imperfection, it's unprofessional to complain because you are putting effort into something that doesn't benefit the company.

Good luck.
> If this isn't the case, then your org has bigger problems.

That is completely true. To work together to build a product, to have everybody understanding what is what needs to be achieved, and collaboration in general is the way to go.

In organizations where business does not trust engineering, engineering does not trust design ... things are never going to work. It is a collaborative effort, one point of view is insufficient to create an attractive product in a cost-effective way that is not full of tech-debt.

Again, I support moving more manufacturing to the US for sure.

And we can demand our politicians to do that so we can control emissions, as well as try to hold countries accountable through sanctions. (don't buy any slave-made products, don't buy any coal-made products)

We can certainly blame China for building coal factories, dumping plastic in the ocean, and generally just not giving a fuck about human rights or environmental rights.

I don't take anyone serious who advocates green policies without holding the biggest polluters accountable who aren't changing their ways.

The "per capita" and "outsourcing" points are propaganda used to deflect responsibility. Unless you have a stat how much emissions come from that outsourcing you are waiving their responsibility via a talking point.

Also, we're not talking about making emissions zero, we're talking about LOWERING. So even if they didn't cut emissions for the stuff they make for us, cutting domestic emissions should still lower their overall emissions. China isn't getting more factories, factories are moving out, so we should see a decrease.
> The IRS may be understaffed for audits (for now) but they're not dumb when they actually start looking into these things.

People don't get this. I have a family friend was was an IRS agent specializing in a few niche frauds. His personal caseloads pulled in 9-figure recoveries and a few criminal prosecutions a year. When he started in the late 80s, there were about 100 agents working those cases. When he retired a few years ago, it had attrited down to 4, and was doing half of the cases he had been due to the travel requirements for audit and court appearances, which could take him as far away as Guam or as close as in his backyard.

Definitely a super-smart dude, I remember going to parties with some of his work buddies and they were a unique group of really passionate nerds about tax and accounting issues.
"Stories with that structure often have 6 secondary features. These don't always appear with the sympathetic plot, but they're common:
1. The protagonist is appealing (e.g., strong, clever, kind).
2. They are alone & suffer early misfortunes (e.g., they're orphaned or abandoned).
3. They are high-status or tied to high-status individuals (e.g., there's a prophesy about them; they're the child of royalty).
4. They journey to distant places.
5. Their opponents are formidable & repulsive.
6. Anyone who opposes the protagonist suffers or is reformed." -- manvir singh @mnvrsngh

Paranoia maybe, but it might also be a power thing, similar to how some Americans still want everyone to have to wear a mask and be locked down.

>Radio waves obviously can penetrate much farther and get to the areas that you would want to be concerned about.

Is this correct? I'm not much more than a layman in physics, but I thought RF, being below the visible spectrum, is non-ionizing thus unable to cause any cell damage.

Edit: Besides from microwaves or similar oscillating fields.
It's a great idea, but I don't think defining the syntax of a programming language as a syntax.toml file will work for enough programming languages for this to be useful. You're basically rewriting the parser of your language in a DSL that isn't as expressive as the language the parser is written in.

I think you'd need another parser/syntax interface for this to work. E.g. running a binary that you can submit source code to which responds with a JSON file containing the parsed tokens. That way you can reuse the compiler's parser.

The vast majority of people don't run their own DNS server, or have any control over the DNS server they use.

Most people use their ISP's or organization's DNS server, and have no control over it; instead, it's something used against them. In many cases, that DNS server may do some combination of tracking, redirection to ads, or other things that make it undesirable to use.

DoH eliminates one of the last major unencrypted protocols on the Internet, and instead uses an encrypted protocol to talk exclusively to the intended server without the possibility of interception.

If you want to talk to your ISP's DNS server, you're free to do so. But that should be your choice, not your ISP's.

Virtual viewing is not a full solution for me. The plus is it helps me weed out places I'm sure I'm not interested in but I still need to see the real place before I rent.

The virtual version of the place might not represent the actual place. There's no easy way to check noise levels, lighting, ambiance, etc. And further, it's far easier to scam people with virtual showings. I had one yesterday where they sent a matterport tour link and claimed I couldn't see the place for real because they had a son and 3 friends die from COVID so "please understand, no in person showings". After looking into details it became clear it was a scam.
