Maybe it just optimizes for different things? I honestly don't see why you'd think your system is superior, we have a similar one to americans here in canada and it's just fine. No one really complains about it outside the internet, and to me the process you described wouldn't fit here as much. Having your own business, or side revenues, or not being a salaried employee is much more common here. And we (thankfully) don't have a mandated ID in canada or in the US, which makes it harder for the state to actually track all your income and expenses.

Yes TurboTax and the tax filling industry in general are pretty shady, and there should be free IRS/CRA tools for people to fill their returns directly. Unless you have a more complicated tax situation. But to me that does not have anything to do with doing away with tax fillings in general.

It's really on a city per city basis, but so far my rule of thumb is any dense city will be slower by car. You drive around 18mph .. a bit above me (with a mediocre health and a bad bike) but my path is often shorter and I don't suffer from traffic jam.

Every time I used car or public transportation it was longer, more random (couldn't even tell when I'd reach my destination), costlier, more stressful during (angry drivers everywhere) and after (no certainty to find a safe parking spot).

Eh, that doesn't get you much. Glaciers weigh heavy on the minds of North Americans and Northern Europeans, but they didn't reach much further -- no civilization south of, say, 40N would be obliterated by the glaciers themselves such that we would expect no trace to remain today.

Sea level change would be a bigger global risk, but aside from sudden flooding, you would expect that to just push back an established civilization to the uplands of their territories rather than wiping them out root and branch.
Machines don't currently, in any form, do their own maintenance. A killer robot army would utterly dominate the battlefield until it broke down and ran out of consumables. It would then completely stop.
It depends! For example, IPv4 did inhibit some innovation (think CNLP, OSI, IPv6, etc.), and TCP did too (probably), each at their respective layers, but TCP/IP produced a great deal of innovation at layers above, and that's easily worth the opportunity cost of missed innovation at the the network and transport layers.

But now suppose we standardized on Java or Ada or something for app dev. That would not be good, and the opportunity cost of inhibited language development would be awful. Standardization in APIs is worse even, if you disallow extensions, but is less nasty if you do allow extensions.

So, yeah, "it depends" is the best I can do for an answer.

Sometimes it's possible to reduce the opportunity cost of innovation inhibition by standardizing in mature technology spaces, but sometimes a sector that appears mature is ripe for disruption, so it can be really hard to predict. And we cannot know what we've lost for quite some time after the standard is imposed.

So on the whole I'm disinclined to have standardization forced on the market.
The tutorial is great. One of the best I've seen.
I wouldn't call it "quite good." It's also pretty crappy. There are arbitrary sleeps thrown in between pages to make it seem like the software is doing something; additional upsells, like GP is complaining about; they block paste when filling in bank credentials, which is super obnoxious; and the UI flow drops you back at "guided or self-service" every time you leave a section.
I think GP points more towards working on side projects for the sole sake of showing off over anything else, which is a particularly insidious part of "hustle culture" being normalized by a lot of "top tech advice". Especially among the younger crowd, where the market is far harsher on jobseekers and almost everyone is met with skepticism unless what they worked on almost perfectly matches what the company is already doing.

I think this deserves a better response.

I remain convinced that Thucydides remained siding with the Athenians, even after his exile. I have a few reasons.

First, the question of why he even wrote the history in the first place. He starts the book by saying that he started writing it when the war broke out (not after, as you said before), because he believed it would be greater than any war before it. Not because he thought the Athenian empire had gone too far, and not because the Spartans (or the colonies) deserved better treatment. Now much ink has been spilled about why the war (specifically Corcyra) happened, and whether it could have been prevented, but even if he were asking that question, that's again different from saying the Athenians went too far.

Second, while it is true that the Melian Dialogue is the only dialogue, it is not the only place where grand speeches are made. In fact, you could consider the Corcyra drama (between Athens, Sparta, and Cocrya) a dialogue of sorts, it's just not presented that way. So while it is true that he changed the format of delivery for the Dialogue, I don't think it's reasonable to assume he offered it more importance, and thus sided with Melos.

Third, the work is not only unfinished, but it ends mid-sentence. To carry through until the actual end of the war (404 BC), you need to pick up Xenophon. We have no way of knowing if there would be another dialogue, or if Thucydides would come out explicitly taking a side one way or another.

Finally, if you want to argue that he'd say the Athenian empire was dangerous, I'd need a good reason as to why. Consider how it came into being, as a result of the Persian war. Most of the colonies were quite happy with Athens protecting them from Xerxes, and it wasn't until Athens moved the treasury away from Delos that things got bad. And consider all the great things that came out of Athens: greek theatre, philosophy, mathematics, etc. Sparta offered none of this. In fact, most of the things we know about Sparta come from Athenian sources.

Therefore, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that Thucydides generally sided with Athens, and if anything, his issues were not with the empire, but with people like Cleon and Alcibiades, who (I imagine) he'd argue were not deserving of their titles, and dragged the wonderful empire into ruin.

However, I have not read the piece by P.J. Rhodes, so I will check that out.

Apple has extensive indoor private test facilities. Like strip malls, but each shop is a testing ground. Imagine being paid to go hang out at the mall all day. Yea you’ll sign an NDA for that.

In addition to the NDAs, Apple tracks employee data very closely (e.g. iCloud) to mitigate leaks.

The major downside to this approach is the sample size cannot be “internet scale” and it will be biased towards what Apple thinks it knows. That’s why things like Apple Maps and Siri had such poor roll-outs.
I think it makes sense for age of adulthood to be a graduated system for different perks at different ages.

I don't get how these don't qualify as a government. A very small scale one, but still a government.

But either way, that isn't relevant to the example. It is still either a yes/no question, and <insert your chosen name for group that believes in no entities of any sort that can enforce their will on you or change your behavior without your full consent> claiming that there should be no group who can stop you is still answering yes.
And the fact that everyone knows this leads to some interesting game theory.

Gobekli Tepe pushed the date for civilization back a few thousand years:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Göbekli_Tepe

It'll probably get pushed back some more. Also I've always thought there are too many flood myths around the world for it to be chance. No I don't think there was a true global flood since it makes no sense, but the end of the ice age would have brought sea level rise and enormous regional floods due to things like the bursting of glacial dams. This would have occurred over the same period of time across the world, leaving behind traces in myth and legend but also physically destroying a lot of evidence of civilizations in the path of these disasters.
Me too. For me there is no such thing as "legitimate marketing". It's unsolicited commercial email, which means it is spam.

> if there was nobody to write about them they were prehistoric

A comment from a documentary about Rome stuck in my mind, it goes something like : "There is no history of Europe before Rome because for most of Europe, history starts with Rome conquering that region. They were the first to write anything down."

Similarly, we know how slavic peoples migrated into Europe because those regions stopped sending written updates back to Rome. Did they then revert back to pre-history? Or does a region continue to "have history" even if for a few centuries nobody in that area writes anything down?

Calling it useless is a really big exaggeration. The license is applicable to both software running on the server and on your client (browser) so I have no idea how you can say it is "useless". Maybe less powerful is what you're looking at? I mean security is orthogonal to "free as in speech" software. I would interpret RMS for the person writing/using the software on the server moreso than the person logging with a browser.

I think part of it is that, sure, leaked iPhone spec's will always get some attention, but it's nowhere near as big a deal as the first few iPhones or other new product launches. News of the next minor evolution of iPhone spec's probably aren't profitable enough to devote resources to fretting them out. I think we're past the point where (for established products) it's as big a deal as when Gizmodo got a hold of a pre release.

I feel articles like this make not working hard seem like hard work. The sacrifices made to achieve in one’s career are mostly intentional ones. The flaw of thinking there is more often about the unrealistic expectations of the outcomes.

Saying “it’s ok to not achieve big” is akin to staying “it’s ok to be normal” which is the definition of normal as far as humans are concerned.

Run the service as if it was bound by the First Amendment (i.e. only illegal content should be removed, basically how every social network ran prior to a few years ago.)

No large social network ever ran that way and I'm skeptical that any social network could be run that way and make a profit. Here are some of the things that are not actually illegal to publish under US law:

- Most forms of doxxing

- Adult nudity and pornography

- Most gore images and videos (industrial accidents, car crashes, corpses from war zones (including children), animal abuse...)

- Praise and promotional material for pedophilia

- Praise and encouragement for anorexia and other eating disorders

- Promotional material and instructions for suicide

- Praise and promotional material for terrorist groups like ISIS, as long as it doesn't call for "imminent lawless action." Much historically banned-by-bigtech ISIS propaganda was not actually illegal, which is why government officials urged companies to do something about it instead of just dispatching law enforcement.

- Spam that isn't delivered via email

- Coordinated foreign propaganda, e.g. "50 Cent Party" commenters piling on to criticize anyone who criticizes mainland China's government

- Jailbait images (in the sense of the banned-in-2011 subreddit r/jailbait)

A lot of things that 95% of Americans never want to see online are actually legal, just so widely reviled and moderated against that you rarely encounter them accidentally.

I've never heard of FreeTaxUSA, but with my tax situation this year, I'm probably going to look for something else next year. In short, my awesome tax guy retired, and the new people to whom he referred his clients ended up being less-communicative and more expensive ($750 vs $400). I was okay paying my tax guy for his amazing services, but I'm not going to pay exorbitant fees for crap service.

My concern is that my tax situation, while not extreme, is not exactly simple. How well does something like FreeTaxUSA deal with small businesses (K1), part-time employment (1099?), stock awards and ESPP, and so on? If I can do my taxes in a day and be confident that I don't severely screw anything up, I'll totally go with that next year.
> if a government wants to freeze your crypto assets, they can do so easily

They can, but only if they get physical hold of you and like, threaten you with a $5 wrench. This is not limited to governments, if whoever gets hold of you and threatens you, they will mostly be able to get your assets, and there's nothing anyone can do about that.

> So in all seriousness, what is the point of crypto, other than a "new stock market"?

The second time you mention the stock market. From my pov, (most?) crypto is very dissimilar to stock market. Stock market includes mostly somewhat productive assets. Crypto usually isn't productive, it's just predictably scarce. Esp Bitcoin and similar are much closer to digital gold than to stocks. See eg https://www.lynalden.com/what-is-money/
