Capital gains arises (on average) when a company grows and thus makes more money. Corporations pay corporate tax on those profits. Why should my share of those profits be taxed again at the individual level?

Additionally, the higher the capital gains tax, the higher the expected returns have to be. Lower capital gains incentivizes riskier investment, which, within reason, is a net positive for society.
They kind of are by definition - System on a Chip. I'll rephrase; the benefits of having on-package RAM (unified would be even better!) outweigh the benefits of user-upgradable RAM. User upgradable/appendable storage is another thing entirely.
I would seriously consider opting in so long as my authorship was acknowledged and my license was upheld. FWIW I tend to release things under permissive licenses (although I think if I was copyleft-inclined I might feel the same way: just match my license).

But stripping my copyright, copying my work without my permission and presenting it to users on terms I did not agree to, all of that is unacceptable.

This is a fantastic question - as this is indeed done for other African animals, like crocodiles.

The biggest issue is that elephants cannot be profitably raised in captivity - they require too much food, too much space, and take too long to produce tusks.

...and if you allow them to roam in reserves, then poachers shoot them. I do wonder if it might work in another part of the world that could offer better security for large elephant reserves, without them impacting the native habitat.

It has also been tried with tusks obtained by elephants that naturally died, and that program failed due to smugglers bribing officials to insert poached ivory into the auctions [0].

I think the underlying issue is that demand is so high that there wouldn't be anywhere on Earth that could produce enough to stop cheap poaching in Africa, so it's easier to simply ban the trade entirely.

Maybe there's an opportunity for lab-grown ivory? [1]

> Apple has a long, long history of doing this. Headphone jack? Gone. Ethernet port? Gone. VGA port? Gone. Floppy disk drive? Gone.

There's an important distinction here you're glossing over: unreliable, wireless, software-controlled Rube Goldberg-esque connections (bluetooth, wifi) can't possibly supersede reliable wired ones. Wired connections "just work" 99.999999% of the time, and when they don't, you can actually see and inspect the thing that connects your devices to troubleshoot it. Wireless works only when it feels like it.

VGA, on the other hand, was fully superseded by various digital video interfaces, and floppies were fully superseded by optical media and then various forms of cheap flash memory.

And I mean it. People do still miss headphone jacks, and people do still buy ethernet dongles for their laptops. People don't really miss floppies and CDs.

Let's play a different game. I get a dollar and you get the bitcoin value. Then each year, a random number is generated between 0 and 1, and if the number is more than e^(-1.5t), then each of us spends the dollar on a basket of goods and the game stops. We compare, after fees, who ends up getting more goods to decide the winner.

Average velocity of money is 1.5.

https://www.thebalance.com/velocity-of-money-3306130

If you want to compare the usefulness of a bitcoin as an investment locked up for 20 years, then don't compare it to cash, which is used for day to day expenses. The whole point of cash is to spend it whenever you want.

It's fine if you view bitcoin as an investment. But then your alternatives are other investments.
> Please don’t dictate what I think. That’s not at all what I actually wrote.

Then please explain because either you agree that Youtube should be allowed to override the "no ads" checkbox for creators that run in-video ads, or you disagree with it. I don't really see a middle ground here.

> I also can’t understand how anyone can claim small creators “only makes a few pennies” while “raking in thousands” at the same time.

It's simple; as with literally everything else Google does, scale. A few pennies, multiplied by millions of small creators, adds up very quickly.

But if they had to setup Creator deals with each of those millions of creators with 1-2 videos, then the economics would simply not work out. It's the same reason they have piss poor customer support on their free products. Those products only work because they have billions of users, but providing customer support to that many people doesn't work financially.
"Google says the process for taking a minor's image out of its search results starts with filling out a form that asks for the URL of the target image. The form also asks for the URL of the Google search page used to find the image, and the search terms that were used. The company will then evaluate the removal request.

While the request could wind up scrubbing problematic images from Google's search tools, "It's important to note that removing an image from Google results doesn't remove it from the internet," the company said as it announced the policy."

This seems like a well intentioned effort, but would it just allow abuse and harassment to go off radar[g00glesearch] to the effect of becoming invisible.
> It was talked about for a long time. People went to prison or got in trouble.

Have you read the Mueller report? It explicitly says that they did not find evidence that Trump or his associates colluded (conspired) with Russia.

There were people who who weren't Trump who went to jail for things that did not include colluding with Russia or attempting to cheat in the election. I can't see how that possibly "settles" the matter about Trump, what happened to Trump being a Russian agent? What happened to him colluding with Putin to hack the election?

> People don’t talk about Trump that much any more either.

Well they do strangely enough, but I'm talking about after the investigation _while Trump was still president_! Not just today. They certainly kept talking about Trump, it's just they memory holed the Russia thing and moved on.

> Why is no one talking about whatever it was with Hunter Biden any more?

Good question I guess, lots of unanswered things or weirdness happens, I'm not saying this is the only thing strange that has ever happened in politics. I'm talking about what I think is a much bigger and stranger recent issue.

> Or Hillary’s emails?

Well that was litigated. The FBI found evidence of violations of classified information handling statutes but decided not to pursue it. That's basically what was alleged by Hillary opponents, wasn't it? Do you not see the difference? They had some evidence of wrongdoing possibly a crime and certainly incompetence. It might have been politicized and exaggerated to some degree, but it wasn't like it came out of thin air. Imagine exact same Hillary email scandal playing out the same way with the only difference being being no emails ever leaked or stored on private servers and nobody seeing any suggestion of that happening. But they all insisted they had seen them. Wouldn't that be weird?

> What about those caravans that were all supposed to be coming countless different times. None of this stuff is discussed any more.

I'm not sure about caravans and stuff.

> I’m not sure if you’re pulling an elaborate troll job here. The way you worded portions of this post is exactly how certain politicians also speak. The feigned surprise of it being all the rage then dropping out of existence. The questioning of why no one is doing something, etc.

Ad hominem. And I'm not saying one or the other or both "sides" don't do it, or there has been no other examples ever of malfeasance or lying in government or news media. If you don't accept this was a massive thing for the country far far bigger and graver than Hillary's mishandling of classified information then fine, but you really can't accept that someone else might think that?

It seems you have no curiosity about where Adam Schiff of the house IC committee has hidden all that ample evidence he said he knew about. If he covered it up, if he was lying from the start, doesn't really matter to you. Anybody who asks about it must be a trolle who "sounds exactly like certain politicians"?! That's just fine for you either way you don't want to know what the deal was and you get upset by other people asking about it. Strange attitude.
This is a good article, that hopefully can lead to some insightful discussions.

One thing the article or some people interpreting the article miss is that miners actually don't control the future of bitcoin as much as they think.
From 2017 we actually know that the people running the nodes have more power then the big miners - because the biggest miners back then were not able to push the protocol changes (like block size) through - because nodes just didnt validate/accept those new blocks. So in the end the end user decides.

This is true for changes to the protocol or code, it is not true for doing fraudulent transactions within the current protocol version. So colluding miners can have impact in that realm I'd say.
This sounds like something the market can deal with. If it costs a lot for farmers to set up, they can charge more for products until they are profitable again.
That might be a valid reason, but it's almost certainly not an explanation of why things are the way they are now or why they might change in the future. I don't recall there ever being a vote on the subject.
I don’t like this narrative. Going from punch cards, to Assembly, to C and to dynamic languages all empowered the programmer with more expressive languages. I don’t believe going from Python to programming via code comments is the same deal.

It would be more like we still write asm but we have editors that let you write a little C code and then it spits out a paragraph of ‘reasonable’ asm that still has to be maintained.
It kind of regresses to a median. 1 big paper, and 100 papers with zero citations aren't that useful.

However, most top phd students/ assistant professors hover around the nebulous 5-30 hindex where getting 30 citations is a lot easier than publishing 30 papers. So, in most cases, you will prefer to figure out quantity, because the quality bar is so low. Additionally, they and lab mates always cite each other which leads to a free 10-ish citations overtime anyway. Lastly, authorship priority is not taken into account in hindex. So, a bunch of secondary-authors can easily get those numbers up at massively industrialized labs. So a small set of productive 1st authorships are given lower weightage than a large list of low-contribution 2nd authorships. Almost all super-high hindex professors are more like CEOs of a research company than primary researchers.

H-index, like all metrics is useful. It sort of shows the median quality of papers by an author assuming that equal time is spent on all papers. It is informative, but making it too important in academia has led to it getting gamed with counter-productive incentive structures.

H-index ignores away a lot qualities that are incredibly important to being a productive researcher, and has led to researchers with such qualities being progressively pushed out of academia ever since it has become THE target.

While refactoring, I have to understand what the component does or should do. I read the original code and sometimes the commit history for certain lines. Then I write tests to ensure those assumptions carry to the new code.

More than once, I ended up finding bugs in the old code this way. The ticket said one thing (ticket IDs in commit messages are a godsend), and the code did another thing. There was also a lot of unexpected business logic that was discovered after the first draft of the code, and not documented.

I had the same experience translating text content into calculators. Text can be ambiguous, but code can't. Text had errors that coded logic wouldn't allow.
Oh that's interesting! Is your thinking something like:

1. mount the array on a tripod somewhere in the frame of the camera
2. the array is covered with an assortment of fiducials,
3. software uses the known intrinsics and extrinsics of the camera to figure out the array position relative to the camera
4. do the obvious thing with chaining transforms until you get the sound source position relative to the camera

If so, I think that would work, but would be a lot of coding to do all that CV...

Probably the best balance between accessibility and rigor on why that’s provably utter nonsense is “Debt: The First 5000 Years” by David Graeber.

Now I know I’m going to piss off the Ayn Rand crowd, but I’m not concerned about that for two reasons:

1. Anyone who enjoys lectures about feeding the poor to one another written by an embittered old author living on fucking welfare is beyond my help. Bonus points: was tight with Greenspan who fucked up on, pretty much everything.

2. I don’t have an HN account older than some hackers with 1k karma on it because I play to the crowd. Quite the contrary. But as a cute sidebar: I make things people want. Never needed a Loopt-style backroom back rub.
Are they pads for extra DRAM on the bottom left of the PCB?

Will we see hobbysts with a heat gun adding ram to these things? BGA soldering with tweezers and a heat gun doesn't look too tricky on those because the pad spacing is easily within what you could manage with tweezers.

The actual pin layout isn't a standard I recognize - so I assume apple has ordered custom made ram chips ..
You can't eliminate the problem but you can put up defenses. One way is a constant internal advertisement campaign that highlights these dangers and possible solutions. Another is essentially constantly pen-testing your workforce. Finally, make it fun to have an IT security mindset by hosting fun activities like a capture-the-flag game.

All of these solutions require process and manpower, and are not automated solutions.

I can’t really tell if you’re saying it’s not possible to solve homelessness by giving people homes or if doing that is politically difficult. I would agree very much that it’s politically difficult to do, but a solution being politically difficult doesn’t make the problem unsolved. Especially considering there are governments that have acted to solve the problem in this way and seen positive results. Im not talking about what policies are easy to get passed, I’m saying there’s no reason what Finland did couldn’t be repeated in a larger country with vastly more resources other than lack of political will.
I can understand the soldred RAM on M1 — yes, speed of light and other laws of physics get in the way. But why solder the SSD? What's the technical benefit of that over putting an M.2 slot in there or something? How do you recover your data if you spill coffee on your laptop? What involved simply yoinking the SSD out of the slot now requires a fully working motherboard.
Of course, because “nature” doesn’t actually exist, it is a concept in the human mind. There is only matter and physical law. What we are simply witnessing is individuals with certain genetic traits surviving in far greater numbers than those who lack them in the current environment, and thus passing those same genes to offspring, propagating them exponentially.
This may be unclear. If there is code that is comfortably _sitting in production_, refactoring _that_ should be its own commit or PR.

If you're designing new code and you write something, tear it down and bring it back up, but it's never touched the main branch, it doesn't matter how much you do to it.

In my standard development flow, I commit often, but don't PR, and then at the end, I rebase my whole branch on top of main and shrink it down to one-to-few commits, usually one.

Since people are only looking at the commit set at the end of my work in the pull request, that's the only thing that needs to follow the 'refactor vs new code' separation.

> The founding fathers developed the House and Senate to avoid a majority dictatorship.

How does lowering the support threshold for total political control, as long as the faction seeking control is disproportionately distributed in smaller (and/or more effective at disenfranchising those outside the faction) states do that?

It doesn't. It just makes dominance of a particular interest group, even with a majority, harder, while making dominance of the diametrically opposed group, even if it only has a minority, easier. (If the representational skew of the different bodies was opposite, it might do what you suggest, but both houses (and the electoral college) are, by design, biased in the same direction with different strengths.

Maybe my position can be clarified a bit better: We both want to minimize this problem and stop it from happening. My argument is not that we should ignore the problem, my argument is that banning these things is not the most effective solution.

My view is that we are likely to have a greater impact on stopping this problem by using tactics other than banning them.

I'm sorry to hear about your aquantances phishing attacks. There are parallels to be sure, but Phishing attacks are a clear deception, and everyone upon being phished will agree that they have been done wrong by, so it is easy to make these illegal; you don't create a black market for people who want to go out and get phished anyway. Unfortunately the same is not true of people who purchase quack therapy. Most will continue to think that their money was well spent.
> Both candidates in 2012 went out of their way to maintain civility to each other publicly.

When George W. Bush was running for governor of Texas against Ann Richards in the late 90s (before anyone but us was on the internet), Karl Rove distributed printed pamphlets, particularly in churches in East Texas among evangelicals, talking about her secret lesbian lover. She's not a lesbian.

And of course when Hillary Clinton lost in 2016 she invented (or paid someone else to invent, more accurately) this ridiculous Russian conspiracy narrative that persists because press outlets affiliated with her party continue to amplify it.

In 2000, the aforementioned GW Bush's party had the chief justice of the SCOTUS (who incidentally got that job despite living in an AZ neighborhood back in the 60s deed restricted to whites only and organizing a sort of election day mob that would physically confront non-white voters standing in line to vote) stop counting ballots to ensure that Bush won.

Before Reagan appointed Rehnquist chief justice, when he was campaigning against Carter in 1979/80, he was giving speeches at notorious lynching sites around the former confederate states and talking about the "oppression of the IRS" (this was shortly after the IRS had stripped Bob Jones University of its non-profit status during Carter's tenure for refusing to admit black students).

Civility is anomaly, not the trend.

I'm all for criticizing Facebook for what Facebook does wrong but it's just a mirror, it doesn't have any original content on it. The same can be said of political candidates. If their message lacks resonance with what would-be voters believe already, no one will repeat it.
wlroots does implement a very simple screenshot protocol, the reason I didn’t mention it was that it is not cross-wayland-implementation. But there is nothing inherent in wayland that would prevent this functionality — they just try to find a good abstraction they all can stick to (as these APIs will likely be used for a long time), and gnome and plasma people have a different view on that.

(Also, if we have a complex program that does all the things we need and a simple program+the complex one, we will have more complexity in the latter case so the previous one may be preferred)
