>I haven't heard a politician advocate trickle-down since the Reagan era

Which country are you from? Certainly not the US, are you? It's called "cutting taxes" these days, with the tax cuts being mostly applied to the ultra rich.

The entire Republican party economic agenda still preaches trickle-down. If only because they are doing everything they can to prevent Reagan's trickle-down policies from being reverted.

> 2020 will always be known as an economic outlier. It's like selecting 2008, or September 2001.

Sounds like we're reliably getting an "outlier" every decade, huh.

Also, outlier by what metric? That's a non-sequitur. Every year is an outlier in some way.

2017 was the only year with a total Solar eclipse, for example. It's an outlier!

You need to specify the metric by which 2020 is an outlier, and how it can be biasing the study towards the conclusion that the paper reaches, otherwise it's no better than excluding 2017 for the Solar Eclipse reasons.
What's a financial instrument ? Usually a debt (a stock, a bond) which makes others live. Even to buy a house you need to give money to someone else who uses it for their own retirement or whatbot.

If the millionaire receives gold and bury it in his garden, sure, but if he puts it in a bank or an instrument, chances are you're paid by it.

And sure, giving money to non value added non productive endeavour like you propose works, but who gives this money? Wait a bit eventually all people do is pay taxes to receive money to pay taxes: you need an escape valve, something more valuable to happen, than just feeding hoboes with money.

But granted, trickle down has never been hosing down. A trickle it is and it's better if you can produce clear visible value that compensate you even if millionaires arent involved. Like say, make bread or cut hair...
I’m not sure you can push that much two-way bandwidth without compromising stealth; it’s one way to push information to the jet, or exchange little nuggets or he other way, but actually steering the thing remotely would make you totally visible to any radar.

Plus, if you could disable an enemy airforce by destroying the infrastructure, that’s an uncomfortably simple way to ground them. An F35 can operate successfully in total radio silence if need be.
I started with Consider Phlebas but stopped because it seems too slow for me.

In a watershed, rain falls and distributes water far and wide. It then trickles downward to where the water is most concentrated.

This one is easy. If the monetary system was a watershed, the rich would be at the bottom. You can't dump a billion litres at the mouth of the Amazon and reasonably expect it to make its way to the rest of the rainforest.
It's like everyone using these bloated JS front ends has forgotten that. Google, Reddit, Wells Fargo, Gusto, Twitter. They are actively breaking the built in browser features.
Isn't there some evidence to suggest earlier, pre-Christian European religions did sometimes make use of psychedelic substances in group rituals?
Oh, they also added support for deleting messages you send.

If we compare it to classical post that is like sneaking into someones else house and stealing the message you send.

I can understand why they do it.

But it, especially compared with the DRM change, makes abuse SOOO much easier.
We need less government and better taxation policy.

I believe the inequality comes from the fact that individuals and companies with large sums of money can shape policies in government better than any individual or group of individuals.

I agree you shouldn't pay 90% tax rate but you shouldn't be paying zero either.
For the afterwards part, I assume

>So it‘s „better“ to update your status page afterwards when your legal team is all on board
They’ve said this publicly many, many times.

It’s quite incredible that the Left have not made the connection between the Fed openly aiming to increase wealth inequality (which is what this is) while also keeping a watchful eye out for any wage inflation (which is the only way the common person can keep up).

https://digitalcommons.trinity.edu/econ_faculty/31/

Search for Bernanke wealth effect or any variation you like. The BIS and other central banks talk about it openly as well.

The central banks are the biggest engines of wealth inequality in the world, and it’s all done in the open with barely any pushback.
Not really. They used this term in the housing crisis, in reference to stabilizing home prices. They recognized that home equity loans were driving a lot of spending AT THAT TIME. It's not some general core principle.

Also, the stimulus checks are also a "wealth effect" mechanism, but no one would confuse that for "trickle down".

The title makes a false comparison.
Degrees and certifications help in immigration (especially degrees). If you’re just starting your career, padding your resume with certifications might help. If you’re trying to get into software development from other professions, then certifications might help in getting you interviews.

I’d definitely do certifications if someone else is paying the fee, like your employer. Otherwise, stop a moment and think if that money has better use elsewhere - like books, conferences etc.

Having said all that, generally speaking, most certifications in software aren’t worth it
well, it still is around, it's just a hassle to get to these days, rather than loading automatically for those who opted into it. I doubt they even broke it on purpose, it's just one of those things that no one at google cares about, so it gets broken by something and no one notices or cares, and it'll never ever get fixed, because it's not like you can notify anyone at google who would care or have power to do anything.
Hiding information behind artificial loading times does not inspire confidence in the product. Consider which sort of person you are trying to convince and try to imagine what they would want, in this case I definitely think your audience would appreciate not waiting for "Simple. Fast. Elegant."

I haven't seen a politician advocate for trickle down since the early 1980s.

Why is this strawman still the target for low-effort articles?
There's also a lot of confusion due to the overloaded use of the term 'drone'

Drone could mean remotely piloted $4M Predator firing $140,000 a piece Hellfire missiles

But drone could also mean mass-produced, battery operated quadcopters delivering small scale explosives over the distance of a few kilometers or less (or perform recon). Sometimes deployed in swarms, flying low. Not necessarily remote controlled

Those are two very different military capabilities. The important impact of the kamikaze-drones is that it strongly favors the side with the stronger and more vertically integrated manufacturing base
I think part of it is because computer science hasn't really nailed the right abstraction for concurrent code execution.

For instance, C is a great abstraction. You take assembly language, abstract away manual management of registers with variables and pointers, add structured types to describe memory layout, standardize flow of control operations, and add functions to enable code reusability, and you have something which is very easy to work with and also to understand. It's not 100% on par with assembly in terms of performance, but it's pretty darned close, and with a little bit of practice it's very easy to look at a block of C code and basically understand what equivalent assembly it compiles to. It's a great abstraction, and it's no wonder that a vast majority of the languages which have come after it have borrowed most of its major features.

I would argue we haven't really had a "great abstraction" to the same level since then*. There have been efforts to abstract away memory management the way register management has been abstracted away, and many of them have been successful for a lot of use-cases, but not to the point that everyone can forget about memory management the way the vast majority of us can forget about register management. Garbage collectors can be too slow or too wasteful for a lot of use-cases, and you need essentially another program you didn't write to pull it off. In a GC'd language it's not so trivial to look at a block of high-level code and predict what your CPU will do. There are other approaches: like the structured approaches of Rust and Swift which are quite interesting, but they're far from proven at this point.

Similarly I think we're not quite there yet with concurrent programming. As far as the transparency topic, a lot of async implementations are more in the direction of garbage collectors, where the compiler rips apart your code and builds a state machine in its place. It's not hard to believe that the result will be difficult to work with and reason about in some cases.

And maybe the problem is that most approaches to async are trying to cram concurrent execution into that C-like abstraction, which is such an elegant abstraction for single-threaded execution exactly. Maybe concurrent programming needs to be re-thought from first principals, with different primitives involved.

*Aside: if there is another "great abstraction" on the horizon, I believe it to be ADT's. That is a feature of programming which feels like a clear step forward with no clear downsides. It's a shame that they haven't been included in Zig.
One possible skewing factor is that suspect omicron cases can often be determined by just looking at the PCR, so these probably get priority for sequencing. If the US generally isn't doing very much random sequencing, this is about what you'd expect.
Thomas Piketty's work is surprisingly banal. If you've ever heard anybody with money talk about "the magic of compounding" they're essentially saying the same thing he demonstrated with a huge pile of data, except on a personal, rather than societal level.

It's controversial solely for the same reason global warming is - it threatens wealth.

That's an interesting anecdote compared to my experience disappearing to a cottage in northern Finland for a few days. At home I spend -way- too many hours on the computer pretty much constantly. But when I went to the cottage, I forgot about all of that and I was just in the moment.

Admittedly I was with someone I was interested in and we were basically always out doing something, which is a different experience than when I go visit family and there are long stretches where I'm left to my own devices (at which point I usually go back to a computer), so maybe the social engagement (and how we fill lack thereof with internet connectivity?) is the common factor?

> I haven't heard a politician advocate trickle-down since the Reagan era.

That was the fundamental argument for Trump's tax cuts in 2017. "If we cut taxes on the wealthy then they will use that money to create jobs for the middle and lower classes." That mostly didn't happen of course. [1]

As a Network Admin at an ISP in Brazil I can confirm their products are extremely popular due to the basically unbeatable price to performance and especially price to features. I can't think of anything close to their retail prices that can offer BGP, OSPF, MPLS, VRF, Wireguard, iptables, L3 hardware-acceleration, MLAG, ZeroTier, RPKI, VRRP, VXLAN, ECMP, Recursive Routing, LetsEncrypt, CA, REST API, etc. They have a 4x 10Gbps switch that has all of these features for $150.

You could potentially build a Linux PC to do some of the more basic stuff that most ISPs require at a similar price, such as PPPoE concentrators, but it's still a lot more hands-on work for no clear benefit.

I can't find right now what the market share of peering routers is in Rio's IX, but i feel like it's significantly higher than 10% (probably between 20 to 30%).

The frustrating thing is that this kind of rhetoric actually works. They call themselves "the makers" and "job creators" while all they are doing is leveraging their upbringing in a wealthy social environment that provided them with the necessary connections to get a comfy job.

Their actual added value is minimal, but they sell it so good that (almost) everyone actually believes the myth.

Sad.

> give a million hungry people $20 each, and see $20M return to the economy the next day as they spend it on food.

if there wasn't enough food in the first place, then the $20m just got inflated. This 20m will not go towards investment in higher food productivity when given to individuals like that.

Give this 20m to "the rich", they will invest it in food creation machinery. At least there would be more food produced after the investment.
The cleverest people around have gone into finance to invent instruments that are ever more abstract, specifically to avoid tying finance to inconvenient, fallible things like… business.

It all has to perform way better than anything tangible could hope to do, and this starves out the type of investing to which you refer.

Newest example: crypto. Like burying capital in pure abstractions, except they pollute (which gold doesn't)

What about the former core team member who also raised similarly-vague alarm bells about Rust's governance, and Amazon's involvement?

I'm somewhat invested in Rust, and it's a bit worrying to see this from two places.
Philosophically it’s the exact same thing.

It is a mathematical certainty that deliberately raising asset prices gives much more money to the rich than to the general public (many of whom get nothing or indeed go backwards by taking on massive debt to keep up).

It’s no different to a massive tax break or any other way of giving wealthy people loads of money in the hope that some of it “trickles down”. And it fails to boost the real economy for the same reason - Bezos can only get so many haircuts, read so many books, eat so many meals.
But here is the thing, its highly unlikely that open source app will have polish compared to Startup with all the funding in the world.

There are very few open source application (desktop or mobile) that are as polished as commercial applications.

This is unlikely to change, but I still think it's worth trying to get as many users to use open source apps, because more users an app has - higher chance of more developers - better app. Not to mention no ads or spying and other crap that commercial apps are riddled with (General opinion not just chat apps)
Usually isn't addiction also defined in terms of some harm to the person? Damaging relationships, getting fired, going broke, and so forth.

And having some guidance that Bob spending too much time on the internet is something serious and should follow an addiction recovery treatment plan is a net good thing (by a lot).
Yeah, that should be possible I guess. I slightly had another idea in the back of my head with LSH.

How big should the world economy be before we can feed, clothe and house everyone?

The logic behind the successful earning more has the flipside that the unsuccessful deserve to earn less. As a society we've decided that all people should have access to asset-based wealth. In a sane world this wouldn't be an issue. In this one, it's led to price fixing, government corruption and inescapable poverty. Housing is not a free market. And yet we treat it is as such.

Until governments shift taxation from income to wealth this increasingly unfair world will continue to punish those who cannot keep up.
When it comes to REST it's important to return correct response code. As to what comes in body is mostly convention and there are no standards.
Here is an example for rest:

JSON-RPC is a bit more concrete:

But again what you put into data is up to you.

Response structure might also depend on the client (content negotiation)
A friend sent an expiring 5-second photo to me in 2018, and to prove a point, I redrew that 1:1 a few weeks ago and showed it to her, because I think expiring messages are bullshit.

In the real world, I won’t forget the messages you tell me either, the memories are forever. Why should a digital message expire when memories don’t? I can still remember what my first day of school was, why shouldn’t I be able to see the messages I got sent last week?
> Autonomous planes aren't particularly hard. It's mostly the price performance that needs attention. Cheap, autonomous drones already exist. Making them bigger and beefing up their abilities is just a matter of time. That's all there's to it. At some point their abilities encompass most of what fighter planes currently do.

Currently the allure of drones is that they are very cheap and can perform some missions as well as their big expensive brothers.

If you make a drone that is equally capable as a modern crewed jet, you bear most of the cost anyway. You’ll save something by excluding the pilot, but have to pay for extra (stealth) communication, infrastructure etc.

Maybe we’ll go away from that, have many types of cheap drones that are specialised and disposable. That’s not the case now.

Bear in mind our perception is skewed by the fact that the last N wars were all fought against at least one country far behind in military technology. But NATO et al are really prepping against a war against an equal. Having a cheap plastic drone with a bomb attached at the bottom won’t do.

Sometimes I wonder if the tech withdrawal people experience is more related to the inconvenience of not having tech like smart phones and computers, rather than an actual addiction.

For example, when my car is at the garage I feel like I'm going through a kind of drug withdrawal. It really bothers that I can't just jump in my car and go somewhere and instead I now need to catch a bus or walk. Before having a car this would have been normal to me, but am I now addicted to my car or is it more that having a car is really convenient and now I'm experience the inconvenience of not having access to one?

Similarly, when I'm home I rarely ever use my phone and it will often run out of battery without me noticing until I want to set my morning alarm before bed. But when I'm out of the house I get really stressed when my phone is low on battery or flat. Again, I don't think I'm addicted it's just annoying that I can't easily order a taxi or map my way to some place I need to go without a phone. Having a phone is an extremely useful tool when you're out of the house.

I'm not denying some people have addictions, but I wonder why in general we don't see our relationship with other technologies in a similar way. Am I addicted to electric lights and central heating? When does a recognising and appreciating the connivance of a technology -- perhaps even to the point where you can't imagine living without it -- become an addiction? If it's having a negative impact your life then I get it, but recently there seems to be a push to label anyway -- even kids -- who simply enjoy using tech as "addicts".
I wonder how many people it actually stops from saving or sharing. If they want to save, they will. If they want to share, they will. I know you are talking about some people who want to save or share but is too lazy to take a screenshot or take a photo with whatever they can.

Any tax cuts are trickle down?

Not sure about politicians, but it is still widely used by anti-tax republicans. Even if they don't explicitly refer to it as "trickle-down", they use its supposed implications as an argument.
I believe there's no fundamental reason to have drones communicate %100 of the time and receive high fidelity inputs, even consumer drones are quite capable to fly without precise controls from the pilot.

These days, a sub 1000$ consumer drone can follow targets, execute pre-determined tasks, navigate around obstacles and fly back home safely when the communication is lost.

It's not just about messaging. Although, I'm not sure I agree or disagree about your idea of message ownership, or lack of it; I've got mixed feelings about it.

I think it also comes down to wanting to own the "distribution" chain.

Example scenario (made up, so might have flawed reasoning): If I have an official following on Telegram where I post my art, and there's a fan/knock-off Twitter account reposting my art without my permission. I don't have many ways of stopping them. I could send a DMCA notice, but that's slow and doesn't prevent someone from reopening their knock-off distribution channels. DRM creates friction for most people that they won't even bother thinking about setting up a sidestepping distribution channel that fragments my audience.

Also to add (edit): being perfect isn't the point. I mean, most habits or ways we do things _every day_ aren't even close to optimal; much less perfect. If we threw out everything that's not perfect, we'd be left with nothing.

An air force general had this to say about the F-35 a few years ago[1]:

"If I do not keep that F-22 fleet viable, the F-35 fleet frankly will be irrelevant. The F-35 is not built as an air superiority platform. It needs the F-22"

Have things changed since?
