A better question is "why" anyone would want to look at lists of URLs pointing to things that someone is pretending that they own by having an entry of their ownership in some arbitrary public ledger.

Yes, FreeTaxUSA is terrific. I have fairly complex taxes and I've never had an issue with FreeTaxUSA.
I agree with almost everything here, but the essay is all over the place:
it starts by trying to convince the reader that it's ok to be a 1x programmer and then proceeds to give pointers on how to write simpler code and how to work better on teams (which are different topics and skills that many 10xers possess)
The reason the US lacks a national ID system ties back to a strongly held belief about state's rights, and that a national ID system would violate those rights, IIRC. I think it's already somewhat happened though, as I understand REAL ID to more or less be that.
The Three Body Problem series actually covers an aspect of the terrifying nature of discovering other civilizations. It's a nice read for the sake of the concepts and the thought exercise. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20518872-the-three-body-...
You hit the nail on the head. Actually, we used TurboTax, got annoyed with the constant upsells, and the $80 fee (it was advertised as free), and then my husband redid our taxes using another website (freetaxusa). It was actually free.
He's pretty good but perhaps not very critical. I'm not sure that's necessary for the types of videos he produces but the ones about the Boeing 787 and especially Nikola seem a bit flowery given everything else we know about them.
>Open source can enable an end user to fix or at least report a narrow issue.

This is a very small subset of end users that can do that and will want to do that. Even software engineers may not dare to touch the code and seek for workarounds or ways to report the bug with less effort instead. The programming language and APIs can be unfamiliar, there can be lack of context etc. The distance between general computer science literacy and ability to read the code of a large product is very big - experts often tend to underestimate it.
For the majority of other people value of this possibility is literally zero: they would prefer to have a warranty from vendor. There's very little consolation for them in having weak guarantees from community of volunteers that discovered bugs will be some day fixed.
I've always felt like carving up the digital spectrum more specifically than just giving it to different use cases (HAM, commercial, consumer etc) is harmful. Modern digital modes can transmit over each other on the same frequency and still get the message through, they're effectively self regulating.
They would have to care about us first.

For all we know there is a space buoy of some kind out there some big units away...

As far as we know there currently is no higher entity in play. The moment there is... hoo boy!
> ncluding one fugitive in search and capture

While there has been corruption in all sides, this statement needs clarification. The search and capture issued to interpol was obeyed by Germany. Upon examination of Spain‘s reasons the court in Germany decided it was not enough proof to send Puigdemont back to Spain. If anything, this seems to contradict what one would think of when reading the above sentence without context.

Federal Judge Blocks Biden Mask Mandate Extension for Travelers
My (opinionated) take on how this is possible:

- Apple has practically unlimited money

- The company can afford the best of the planet's talent

- The companies business is ethical and therefore the top layer of talent hesitant to join ad-based companies pick Apple naturally

- The company is highly design driven, which means it's the perfectionists making most decisions (roughly speaking)

All this seems to have a cultural impact that optimizes for quality without much a/b testing.

I'm not trying to criticize you, car dependence isn't your fault, but it would be nice if somebody with "incredibly bad eyes" wasn't forced to operate a piece of heavy machinery just to get around in the first place.
The principle behind being a 10x programmer is not working more, but working less and using tools that multiply you.

The 10x dominates the tools ( and techniques and people and capital) that multiply her.

If you have a car you can easily and consistently go 10x faster that walking pace. The same applies for your job.

Working on a given company, with access to capital and people and tools can multiply you.

This argues to the side of the point. There’s plenty of models where founders are rewarded for taking risks and the community ends up owning significant shares. In fact Jack himself seems to have been screwed out of much of his stake, which isn’t uncommon when going through many rounds + IPO, and he’s a big proponent of one of these alternative models.

One answer is something people here love to hate, and yet it’s proven to work well for this exact scenario.

It also solves in my mind a few other problems with social network startups. You see before it was almost entirely luck and timing, there didn’t exist many so if you had something unique and the collective unconscious was ready for something new you’d get lucky launching twttr at SXSW.

To beat Twitter or do something similar but different you’re back to the classic catch-22 of social networks, the users drives the value, but you need users. Startups like to give away a few hundred bucks to early adopters, but that just isn’t an incentive anymore.

What is an incentive, and has been proven without a doubt as one as of late, is giving away micro equity. Users will flock to your platform if they get a chance in the upside.

So it solves the catch-22, and it solves the long term ownership alignment problem.

It also attracts scammers, but that shouldn’t have ruined the whole deal for everyone. Unfortunately it did thanks mostly to the SEC.

Perhaps the real bad guys are those same politicians, or others, that make the tax code so damn complicated that 50% or more of the population don't stand a chance of comprehending it.

If you're W2, and you have kids or 1099s the gov already knows about, there should be no need to file at all. State and local governments should tap into the federal feed, and there should also be no filing there. Any discrepancy that results in a bill or refund gets automatically sent out.

The amount of time wasted to do taxes, even a simple 1040EZ, is staggering. The fact that people with relatively simple tax situations are persuaded to use expensive filing services (H&R) or crappy software is criminal.
It is relatively simple: strong Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs).

One of my previous employers worked with Apple a couple of years ago to ensure the stability and security of Apple Arcade, and every employee, even the janitor, needed to sign an extensive NDA to ensure the secrecy of the project.

We kept “the secret” for six (6) months or so, and at one point we almost lose the contract because someone mentioned the project’s name during a phone call, at home, while a family member was listening, and that person told someone else, and that someone apparently talked about it somewhere and Apple found out.

Fortunately, the CEO managed to, somehow, keep the contract.

Even inside Apple, they have to sign NDAs when you need to talk with a different team about a new product, project, feature, etc. I asked about it during recent interviews (January 2022) to join a team that is supposed to have massive cross-team work with the entire engineering organization.
I'm thinking that would be demonstrating that there cannot be evidence.
I agree completely.

But I think that the problem is mostly orthogonal to technology. Monopolistic megacorporations in any area are rife with problems. Look at Walmart, Nestlé, Shell, Comcast, etc.

Tech companies are particularly prone to this because information naturally lends itself to economies of scale, and economies of scale are fundamentally anti-competitive.

But it's the consolidation that's the problem, not the tech itself.
Wow, I wonder if that’s a sure route to start a competitor company, develop it a bit, and expect a sure buyer down the road? Would be a pretty funny game of whak-a-mole for them to be playing to keep the competitive landscape mowed.

Hard to say since it’s a short comment, but an NFT of a stock is worthless without some other mechanism to enforce ownership, at which point why do you need the NFT?

Hmmmm. That thought crossed my mind, too. Would they be like worker bees, building "beehives" large enough to be seen from hundreds of light years away?

Exploring the stars would require a general-purpose intelligence that can span multiple eras: simple tool building, figuring out how to harness and store energy sources, science and math, etc.

Is emotion required to achieve any of that, though? Probably, at least at first. I believe emotion is widely regarded as a valuable evolutionary aid, a crucial cognitive shortcut - at least at first, simply feeling that "predator is scary" and "sex is fun" is a hell of an evolutionary accelerant. You don't evolve to the point where you can understand predators (something that takes a lot of biologically expensive brain matter) unless you have a gut-level fear of them first (something that is biologically cheap).

But at some point those emotions do more harm than good, I guess, if you're trying to build an interplanetary society. Our good old emotions are good for reproducing and being scared of predators, but aren't super helpful for managing Earth's resources across long time spans.

Maybe the only way to make it past the great filters of nuclear war and environmental collapse is to discard those emotions somehow. Even if it's not the only way, seems like a valid way.
The amount of capital needed to train these high-quality models is eye watering (not to mention the costs needed to acquire the data). Does anyone know of any well capitalized startups exploring this space?

Yes, the Justice Department mandated that they jettisoned it as part of the sale, as they knew what Intuit would do with it if they got their paws on it.
>Trending outrage seems to be the only way to move the needle at the moment so trying to undermine this article is also undermining progress.

I am pointing out the root of the problem is not TurboTax/Intuit but instead the government. Your comment is effectively the doing the same thing to my comment that I did to this article so I don't understand your criticism that I was "undermining progress". It isn't like "making voting days holidays, guarantee a livable minimum wage, guarantee time off like the rest of the sane world" is a much easier to accomplish political goal than "fix lobbying".
Anyone who would probably call me out of the blue that I might actually care about talking to is almost certainly in my contacts list. And I assume the converse is true. There are very few people who I'll just ring up to chat with. It's not really a big deal in that I can get the sense of a voice mail from the phone transcription pretty easily. But if I didn't catch someone and actually want to communicate something I'll probably follow up with a text.
I agree with the gist but in my dream I'd like to find a system programming niche that I can drill down and be really good at it, maybe even top 100 in the world.

The idea that every minute outside of working, sleeping, etc... would be thought of as being "owned" by some social network is sickening. Scrolling Twitter or TikTok shouldn't be a default activity.

Gitpod is VSCode front running on the browser and the backend is in a Linux container on their cloud. They have a running script you can commit which lets you run any command while starting up or even specify your own docker (which inherit from theirs). This allows you to create dev environment for most common languages. This article also shows how to use Gitlab CI/CD on every push.

Pros: No need for high end laptop/pc (Shared on 16cores). Free HTTPS exposing for every port on the machine. Docker included. Standardize you dev environment (including VSCode extensions). Amazing if you are handling multiple projects and context switch between them a a lot (K8s, Dockers, nodejs, React and more) or for education with no hassles.

Cons: Not all VSCode extensions are supported, as some are proprietary. Only support Gitlab, Github, Bitbucket. Free tier limited with 50 hours/month

Personally, I love the product. Helps me spin up dev env in seconds.

If you've hung around some of the previous M1 threads, I really don't think he is trolling. That's actually how some people feel about it.

I gotta say it's been really wild watching "epistemic closure" in action. There are clearly two different sets of facts and two different realities based on them that have emerged at this point, one where M1 is slower than x86 and requires everything to be emulated and USB doesn't work and you can't use external displays and it's a closed and locked-down system that is NEVER going to get a linux port, and one where it's got massive IPC and great battery life/etc and everything basically Just Works and the linux people are thundering along and have a basically workable system. People are living in like totally different worlds, one where it's just more apple trash and one where it's the best thing since sliced bread and actually better than the x86 alternatives.

I dunno if it's people who just haven't used it, or people who are ideologically opposed to apple's designs, or just super hate macos, or what, but even in the benchmark space it's become completely bimodal, you've got Anandtech where it's showing up to 3.5x the IPC at 0.7x the clock of competing designs in SPEC cpu benchmarks suites, and you've got Hardware Unboxed where it barely edges out current designs at iso-power even in ARM-native builds of Cinebench.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0bsjUMz3EM&t=726

tbh I've been thinking something similar in general - the synthetic stuff seems amazing, but it does seem like it has some problem actually putting power to the ground in real applications. Cinebench is native, so that shouldn't be a factor, and it should be something that makes great use of that absolutely wild FP32 IPC, so why isn't Apple running away with it anywhere near as much as SPEC shows it should? There's something weird there and I can't quite puzzle it out.

> Manipulating a program or abusing it for your personal gains at the expense of others is often illegal.

Here's the challenge, though: it is impossible to definitively say whether the functionality of a program is intended behavior or not. For a classical server that gets "hacked", the code is running on a server that someone owns and access to that server is defined by the owner. Similarly, the maintainer of the code decides whether the behavior of the code was intentional or not.

On a blockchain, there is no single server, the code is being executed on many machines. And you can't trust any individual, the author of the contract got their chance to clearly describe the intention of the code when they wrote it. There is literally no way to determine whether the contract was used as intended, or exploited. You can't go ask the author because they can just lie. The code is all you have.

But that doesn't mean "code is law". Consensus is law. The blockchain can be forked, the transaction reversed, and the contract amended.

> in the real world, code isn't law.

That hardly matters here.

Civilization means people living in cities. To do that, agriculture is probably needed. There's also probably some level of specialization and accompanying social stratification.

History is written records.

There were many prehistoric societies, but because civilization tended to have some form of written records, the prehistoric societies are not considered civilizations.

No scholars would clai that humanity sprang out of nothing in those places. I mostly hear that from bible literalists. But if some of their people weren't in cities, the society was not civilized. And if there was nobody to write about them they were prehistoric.
You don't. You teach them about real life.
The relevance of Twitter does not originate in generating the biggest number of eyeballs on advertisements (it doesn't do well at all in that regard).

Twitter is relevant because a very specific audience of multipliers (particularly journalists, but also other influential public figures) use Twitter - often in person, while some marketing company runs their Facebook account. The public reach that Twitter can potentially provide is much bigger than that of any other social network, even though those networks may nominally have a multiple of the number of users of Twitter.

Musk gets this, and it is why he is interested in Twitter. The market doesn't get it, which is why it undervalues Twitter. However, you cannot blame the market for that; it is poised to undervalue Twitter, because the actual value of Twitter is not accessible to just anybody, but people like Musk, who are well-connected in the Twitter social graph. Hence the value of Twitter to someone like Musk is actually much larger than the value of the exact same Twitter to any random shareholder.
