A Nobel Prize for the Credibility Revolution
The wealthy under the gold standard during the Gilded Era was DRAMATICALLY more wealthy and powerful than today. The Carnegies and Rockefellers, who owned American society during the gold standard in the 1800s, would be about 5X-10X more wealthy than our Musk and Bezos.

The idea that you would own more wealth under that standard is laughable. We are far more equitable today than we were in that era. Our concept of the middle class largely didn't even exist in their era. They paid everyone poorly and kept them under control.

Exactly.

And the DSL in which science should be written as much as possible in order to make scientific results as reproducible as possible (which includes spelling out as many underlying assumptions as possible) is called mathematics, which in recent years has been improved into formal mathematics that is mechanically checkable through (interactive and automatic) proof assistants. This 2.5k year old human endeavour of improving science has not yet finished. The next big milestone, which I expect to see completed before the year 2200, is to finish the mechanisation of all existing mathematics.

That's untrue. At some point, the richer you get, the less tax you pay for every additional $ you earn (because capital gains are usually less taxed than wages).

Also, past a certain level of income, 100% of the extra revenues is invested (not spent) so there's no VAT. The rich borrow against their wealth, too.

I'm in Europe so I can't speak of the US but the more rich I get, the less I pay tax compared to my coworkers relative to my situation (I'll be earning more from stock on which I'm paying far less tax than an extra income from work).

Also, every €10K of annual gift I get from my (living) parents are not taxed at all (idem for the first €100K from any living parent). Whereas any poor child who expect €10K at their parent's death would have to pay 5% of tax (and more for each upper tier).

I'm getting hundreds of €K year over years and not paying 1€ of tax. Most of these gift are in stocks and neither me or my parent pay any tax on the realized gains (since it's gifted, they're no realization...). Also, my parents can lend me €500K at 0% (which they themselves borrow from banks at negligible rate).

It is legal but so corrupt, I don't see how the rich can't further distancing themselves from the rest of society.
A quick search shows a bunch of papers about RCU possibly containing proofs. I don't know if there is a coq proof, but there are other dedicated tools to model lock-free algorithms, or possibly the proofs were done by hand.

Of course that's still not proving the actual C code, the translation probably still need to checked by hand.
This fact isn't surprising. The US has always had a culture where individualism and libertarianism combine in ways that make it almost impossible to flatten wealth distribution to any significant extent. Countries where wealth is more evenly distributed have cultures with a more socialist bent. 'Socialism' is a dirty word in US culture, more so than in any other country that I know of.

Thus, I doubt very much that this imbalance can be addressed anytime soon as individualism in US culture is so ingrained that conditions for change just aren't there.

The known vulnerabilities of a tank (e.g. X% will be defeated by weapon Y in situation Z) will usually be classified higher than the operator manual (which however may contain technical or tactical work-arounds). E.g. the existence of a defensive aid suite on a tank system may be unclassified (because it is plainly visible in photographs), what it does may be restricted, how it does it may be secret and how well it does it may be top secret.

I wasn't implying it was a complete list; if it were, presumably at least Iran needs a place on it too. However, the question was why we hadn't heard about it. The answer is because it is a shameful conflict that doesn't make the US look good in any kind of way, so it is just ignored by US media.

> That would mean instead of paying them a lump sum of equivalent-to-$100 to pay off your mortgage you end up paying an equivalent of, say $2 per month?

This is in addition to monthly payments. So if you take a loan for 480$ at 0% total interest (just for nicer numbers) for 48 months, you'd pay 10$ per month, but you'd only be able to pay an extra 24$ per year to get rid of the loan sooner. So if the currency hyper-inflates in year two, you'd still own ~206$ [0] once the state revalues the debt. Of course, the bank is still free to accept higher payments (sometimes for a fee) if it thinks it's the better option.

The German word for this is Sondertilgung. You can find it explained here [0], for example. I'm not too familiar with the US system, so I can't say how common these clauses are over there, but I'd be surprised if banks didn't cover themselves , too.

[0] A bit less if you start paying sooner or agree to pay fees.

Blockchain was cool and novel, but the hype should be over already. We’re nearing 15 years of blockchain tech and it is still not magic powder that solves society’s problems.
There’s already a well-established word for a country run by rich elite.

Calling the US a “banana republic” is a shocking headline, which I think is the real point. The US economy is not very similar to actual banana republics though. There are some aspects which are becoming similar, yes, but also many in which they’re not.

To me it reads as a clickbait headline.
This. Use harmonics after getting the A from an external source.
yes, it was EU, wrote quickly but the linked article clarified it with the headline highest in EU.
I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I'm not sure what this article has to do with "American culture". ZeroHedge is a fringe website—hardly representative of the average American.

Either way, I don't think it's a problem to compare aspects of one's state to more regressive ones. It is useful to point out that China under Xi looks a lot more like North Korea and that fundamentalist Christians hold views similar to Islamist extremists. In this case, the average, uneducated citizen might not be aware that their great America resembles "shithole countries" (their words) in many ways, and if a rude comparison is what's needed, so be it.

Yeah and this inequality also comes with a lot of benefits, who knows how much of that wealth would even exist in the first place if you didn't have that motivation. I mean we've seen what happens in more equal socialist countries, I think these comparisons are pretty childish actually and seems to serve mostly to agitate. You'd have to consider many different aspect of this to create a good understanding to what this is good for vs bad. And you can easily spin this around to say something like: the ultra rich is now only 0.1% of the population, compared to 5% of the population before, the rich are getting fewer, great! The big question is, if the middle, and lower class have also gotten more, in absolute terms. If everyone wins, who cares if a couple of individuals somewhere have an underground garage with 12 sports car, I couldn't care less.

The quote is so indicative of how locked into the dominant paradigm these people are. Smart contracts are the banks of the future. Programmable money will tax, loan, finance, and govern. It will supplant much of the state apparatik with math that obliviates the need for external coercive force for many applications. As smart money matures and proves it’s superiority to the average member of society, it will leave these dinosaurs blinking in confusion.

Very sad news:(

Do we know the circumstances yet?
There's very little that scares people more than losing what they have. That fear rationalize many things. "I deserve my wealth" "other people are lazy" "I could save some kids somewhere but what difference would it makes". That is true for every level of wealth, it's the same if you are bezos or if you are a moderately successful in a poor village. But inequalities only get worse with time and it seems that this fear makes the trend impossible to stop. What happens next?
You’re somewhat right. The machine learning algorithm tries to replicate the general patterns on the images it’s trained on (so in this case, images of a lot of sneakers). If the algorithm is trained on enough images, it should, to an extent, learn to generalize and “understand” what a sneaker should look like and generate new ones rather than copying images. In my case, there is definitely some memorization going on, based on some shoes looking suspiciously similar to existing shoes, but there is also definitely some design going on not copied from other sneakers.

But it builds the images “pixel by pixel” rather than e.g. taking the sole of one shoe with the upper of another if that’s what you’re asking.

On Coming Down to Who Pays
On Coming Down to Who Pays: Congress will come back from its Indigenous People holiday and again try to work out a piece of legislation to improve the nations human infrastructure. Well, not all of Congress. The puppets of the wealthy are coming back to make sure it doesn’t come out of their bank accounts. As with most things in this nation, increasingly based on the green stuff, it’s coming down to who pays.

Senators Manchin and Sinema are manning the loan desk. But there are plenty of others hiding behind them. Politicians who have no problem borrowing from the future to increase their benefactors already bulging wallets. But suddenly think it’s a problem if the money goes to increasing opportunity for citizens to participate and grow the national human capacity.

“Don’t get us wrong”, they say in their own defense. “We know these are good things and even necessary things”. “We know the people like them”. “Our only real objection is that you dare propose that the wealthy pay for most of it”. “You fail to understand”, they lecture us, “This is America, where the rich guy only takes and never has to give”. “Now that we have almost all the money”, the bloated oligarchs intone, “we’re not about to start worrying about the common needs”. “Oh you foolish peasants”.

It was always destined to come down to this. It really doesn’t matter what level the price tag is set at. The original $6 trillion was too high. The “discount plan” at $3.5 trillion was too high. Even Manchin’s “target” of $1.5 trillion is conditioned on it being paid for without touching the free ride the rich have in our nation. In case the middle and lower class hasn’t heard our superclass, they are telling us they won’t even drop us any bread crumbs. “Nothing, Nada, let them eat cake”!

You’ll hear the Bill’s backers argue that it’s not really that much money. It’s being spent over 10 years. The investment will come back in a successful economy for the long term and a more cohesive society. They shouldn’t waste their breath. Either “we the people” are willing to use our government to put a collar on greed and require the fat cats to pony up, or we’re not. That’s what this fight is all about. There’s no culture war here. No issues of race, gender or place of birth. It’s about who really benefits from our nation and one other important reality. The rich have run our economy into the ditch repeatedly. They have no self-control. We know that. We also know that if the economy has any chance of working for a broad swath of Americans, we can’t let the rich keep steering us into icebergs. Each time the number of lifeboats gets smaller.

As our elected leaders return to their marble halls and leather-bound chairs, don’t be deluded or sidetracked. We are witnessing a tremendously significant fight over money and greed. If we want a future for our nation to get brighter, it’s a fight we need to join and help win. This isn’t about “them”. This is about “us”.

What type of classified information was leaked?

From the screenshot provided it appears that the argument may have been about the turret rotation speed (probably as listed on Wikipedia?), whether it is 9 or 12 seconds for full rotation of the turret? The 9 second rotation speed was added to Wikipedia 5 years ago[1] and the 12 second rotation speed information added 8 years ago[2]. It appears the original information was perhaps sourced from a book titled "Char Leclerc - De la guerre froide aux conflits de demain" by author Marc Chassillan and published 16 years ago[3].

I find it hard to believe turret rotation speed would warrant classification given how readily observable this metric would be to an enemy. The chance of a tank operator accidentally demonstrating maximum turret rotation speed during a training exercise, public display or otherwise would also be very high, even if tank operators were instructed to never operate the turret at maximum rotation speed to avoid showing off a better metric than what may be known publicly.

I would assume the concern, if warranted, would be for some other type of information that may be less observable e.g. a statement to the effect of "If you rotate the turret at maximum rotation speed for more than X cumulative seconds, the turret will enter a safety mode and only operate at maximum speed of X% of the normal maximum rotation speed. Maintenance procedure XYZ will need to be conducted to restore full performance of the turret."

This is one of the big things I love about Haskell. Its way of making effects explicit and easy to spot in the function signature always struck me as insanely useful for exactly those reasons (though, obviously, it goes a step further where every function always has to return something, even if it is an effect or an effected state). In retrospect, I wish Rust had adopted something like this since it took a lot of inspiration from Haskell anyways, but I am very glad that there are people like you out there that are trying to remind people of this insanely useful concept of making effects more explicit!
