I fully agree with everybody that this is a rant for an unexpected issue (that should have been expected), rather than an objective review.

I do agree with the notion that there should be a single way to do taxes across the country. But from everything I hear and understand, that'll never fly in USA "because freedom!". I think that in most of Canada (Quebec possible exception), you essentially file federal taxes and then provincial taxes are a mirrored percentage of that? I think law is more complex than that but a regular person's experience feels like it.
As with most Jon Bois stuff, the titles undersell it. Watch this if you're interested in serendipity, community cultures, long-running folk tales, the implausibility of reality, etc.

Also watch it all with the realization that the only visualization tool Jon uses for making these is Google Earth.

(Maybe my favorite Jon Bois real-life video, and a smaller bite than those big docs while still getting to all of the above, is "Randall Cunningham Seizes the Means of Production": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZymSrDfLhW8 )
> They then impeach and remove biden and harris making Trump president again. What happens?

The GOP needs a 2/3 senate-majority to remove Biden, which won't happen. Best they can do is impeach, but not remove.

What happens in these cases? More of the same bullshit. Yes, there will probably be some form of civil unrest. But not war.

I agree with you that civil war isn't rational, but it does require enough people being onboard with it. I think when push comes to shove, most people realize that they want nothing to do with it. Just like the riots and protests we saw, most people dip out when shit hits the fan. The people that stay are the extremists.

My personal opinion is that what we are seeing is the extremists of both parties. The vast majority of people might have leanings one way or another, but they do not subscribe to most of the ideas pushed by the extreme ends of their parties. They are mostly just tired of the bickering and ineffectiveness of our government.

Could you clarify that note about Stoned Meadow of Doom? I mentioned them in my sibling comment - I'm not affiliated, have just been enjoying the channel off-and-on for years, so I'm curious.
It's so gorgeous, and it's awesome that there's a big stretch of public beach with cottages on it (many of which are rentable) but then there's also the provincial park there that has a whole other section of shoreline— you have to pay to access it, but the bathrooms are nicer and there's more parking.

Some people are so nitpicky...

From TFA: "He instigated a top-secret experiment, code-named Project Mogul, that sent up hot air balloons equipped..."

I believe this is an error. Per Wikipedia [1]: "...rubber meteorological balloons, however, these were quickly replaced by enormous balloons made of polyethylene plastic. These were more durable, leaked less helium...". So the Project Mogul balloons were NOT hot air balloons. Which is not surprising. To fulfill the mission, a hot air balloon would have to carry fuel and perform controlled burns to maintain altitude. Not that this would be impossible, it is just easier IMHO to release ballast.

Even if you treat yourself as employee, a business with two employees, with one of them from California, gives rise to a situation where it can be trivially argued that well over 25% of the business income can be attributed to a Californian workforce (even if the exact contribution isn't 50%, it is most certainly substantial enough to warrant a tax notice)

Good on them. It is terrible for society when nurses, fire department and police officers go on strike but it is the only way to change the system.

And in my experience it is not even about the money most of the time but more the work pressure and conditions.
The main issue with California is that they try to collect on everyone, and they require a ton of paperwork even if you did make an honest mistake. People who move out of California are often hounded by the tax board. Even something as innocuous as having a storage unit in the state can cause the FTB to still consider you a resident.

I haven’t lived in California for two years, yet I still have to pay them taxes on RSUs that are vesting this month. It’s insane.
1: War started in 2014.

Such whining. He had a business in California, but was a remote boss.
Thanks, I corrected it
The conversations are scary. They almost don't seem believable -- did I miss the part where they say they're just an example of what a conversation might look like?
Typically there is a minimum number of employees required to trigger regulations such as that. For example, you are exempt from the required healthcare mandate if you are under 50 employees, I believe. This is common sense stuff to keep the burden for small fledgeling businesses minimized while extracting ethical employment from large. California obviously doesn't take this approach, so I'm glad I've been informed of it.

It's their state, so they can pass whatever laws they want obviously. People living there just be aware that this is incentivizing not hiring remote from California.
And as a bonus, be statically linked with all the benefits that brings.

I suppose it could be, since the commerce clause is also routinely cited as justification for "war on drugs" type of efforts. However, I don't think it is as clear cut as you make it. A contract executed in one state is not automatically interstate simply because the parties to the contract reside or operate in different states. It matters where the contract is executed. A contract can state things like "will be judged in an XYZ court according to XYZ law".

This seems like the best idea, as a balance both of "it works" and "it could happen".
In high school I'd have to wait a few hours in the library every evening to be picked up, so I set up an SSH server at home and had my laptop with me. I didn't know about GIT at that time, so I'd SSH into my home server and edit files on the fly with Nano.

I actually coded quite a bit, and built a basic social networking app fully in nano.

Looking back I have no idea how I did it. Anything less than an IDE with VIM-mode is a no-go for me these days.

Another conspiracy theory: the LCD cartel has been paying them not to compete. Given any actual difficulties yet to be worked out for mass production of eink (and there's always something), they may just be making more money by threatening to compete with LCD displays than they could by actually doing so.
It's a bit of a clumsy joke I think; David French's previous followers turned on him, as explained above.

He maintained his moral and intellectual integrity whereas many of his longtime readers and fans betrayed theirs. So it didn't matter that he had built-up trust. He didn't genuflect to Orange Man and go along sheepishly for the ride the Republican Party has decided to take, so they ditched him.
> But programming languages should get on your way while you're doing things wrong. Go does not. To be fare, most mainstream languages do not: I think Rust is the best in this thing, other languages often aren't. But Go is by far the worst of all, because of its striving for "simplicity".

Go typically does get in your way when you're doing things wrong, but yes, I'd like to see Go require return values be dealt with or explicitly ignored. That said, there are linters for this, but in practice it's never been a material problem for me so I haven't bothered to wire one into my project. Over time, I've learned not to be so concerned about issues which are mostly just theoretical--there are enough practical problems to deal with first.
Okay, but the social safety net is paid for by people and businesses. If you make the people miserable and the business difficult, your social safety net cannot be funded by good feelings.

Also, considering the high cost of living, homeless encampments rife with 18th century communicable diseases, and staggering crime, I'm not sure how safe your net is.
This is great, and I can't wait for it to commoditized, but I bet I'm way priced out.

In general, I find e-ink displays relatively expensive for modestly sized ones (say 6 inch +). What's some of the best deals/value for e-ink displays for some personal projects? Broken e-readers for parts?
Spam is not against the law. (CAN-SPAM only applies to email.) Does that mean he's going to allow spam on Twitter?

He's certainly allowed to. It's his web site (or will be). But there's a lot of users who will find the site unpleasant to use without spam filters.
Since entropy seems to be a measure of our ignorance, then there maybe there is no point in discussing a perfect observer (of something that is boundless).
Edit:
> talking about a "perfect observer" that knows all there is to know makes absolutely no sense.

if there was such a thing as a perfect observer, let’s say it is you, then you would still choose to measure some things, but not others. Unless by “perfect observer” you are referring to something that knows the states of all things simultaneously at all times, in which case that (to me) doesn’t sound like an observer at all, would just be someone/something that knows. So like you said “there is always hidden information” but that information is hidden to someone that is doing the observing and so is dependent on them. Otherwise from what or whom would the information be hidden? What would information even be without an observer?
The attempted construction of that Foxconn factory in Wisconsin would have permanently diverted water out of Lake Michigan. It wasn't stopped by the Compact, just the horrible mismanagement of the project and political corruption.
CA FTB is hard to dodge even for capital gains. Basically, if you have ever lived in California for anything other than a "temporary or transitory purpose", you are at least a part-time resident, likely a resident. Ergo, you owe CA's silly taxes, including on Capital Gains, and CA's own version of AMT (and no, CA does not recognize many taxation agreements that are federally recognized!).

Basically, if the FTB decides to throw the book at you, you are toast.

I'd argue that you ought to be able to avoid working in powerful logics; instead you'd end up using A (or an easily-derived consequence of A) as an axiom in the proof of non-trivial statement B and such, while still keeping to some restricted logic for each individual proof. This is quite close to how humans do math in a practical sense.

Yeah for years Calis' massive economy has allowed them to squeeze more from people in taxes and fees and laws. They've managed to basically pass laws for the whole country a bunch of times by moving standards in such a large economy. But now they're going too far, and capital is leaving, and people are leaving, and the state is collapsing slowly and the urban areas are going bad and I will not cry while this happens. Especially not after the years of sanctimonious holier than thou bs out of Calis about how much better they are. I just hope all the refugees don't vote for the same BS when they flee to Texas.
> in order to prevent them from being taken over by sociopaths.

Every institution has already been taken over by sociopaths. That's why it's called an "iron law", and not a mere concern.
I agree, but you'd probably also need to have government NOT offer the job security far above what the private sector does, otherwise you have the opposite problem of all the people with the most in-demand skills in the government, not producing, just checking what other people produce.

It does seem, though, like you might want to have something like government pay at 90% of the market rate, so that highly-skilled and in-demand jobs do get pay that is close to the market rate.
This is amazeballs!
Jon Bois is fantastic. All of his videos are great and he's a great writer. I highly recommend his "Pretty Good" series.

Yes, you can beat the biological half-life if you eat whopping doses of the stuff. That's... not a common situation.

How Noom Uses Technology to Herd the Experimental Cats
A few years ago I set up a Pi 4 8GB to have as a backup in case my old Mac Mini died. Last year the Mac's HD died and it got me through the few weeks it took me get the Mac back up and running.

One of our daughters moved in with us shortly after that so I moved the Pi to our family room and she's been using it since.

I used an "Argon" case that moves all the ports to rear of the case. It has a fan to cool it if it gets too heated up and I configured it to boot off an external SSD drive. That was pretty easy to do and makes a huge difference in how fast it boots up and loads apps.

I bumped up the processor speed a bit, it's not as fast as my old Mac and the tools not quite as polished but Geaney is a pretty good text editor for coding and FileZilla works fine to get and put files.

Aside from a web browser those are the tools I use most so the money and time spent on setting that up was well worth it and it's more than paid for itself.
I've done pet projects in Haskell, Ocaml, Racket, Rust... Now I'm learning Zig... I've worked for years with Java, Python, Javascript/Typescript... Use to work with Z3... Tried plenty of different stuff.

After years my conclusion is that If I want to get a job done I'll choose Golang. Hands down the best productivity programming language nowadays. GC for memory management and productivity, explicit, easy to read, hard to mess up, good performance and efficiency. Get' the job done and really well. End.

I love PL theory. Reading an Idris book an implementing some cool recursive patterns. Building a small project in different languages and compare them... Compilers, type systems and GC papers... But in my experience, the more complexity and "implicitness" a language has to offer, the easier is for "us" to go the wrong way.
I would not assume any malicious intent. e-Ink is a wonderful solution looking for a problem.

Anything with a mouse pointer can't use e-Ink because of slow refresh rates.

Anything looking at a web page can't use e-Ink because of slow refresh rates.

Anything playing video can't use e-Ink because of slow refresh rates.

This leaves us with e-readers, but that market is very limited in size. Not everyone wants a dedicated book-reading device when a multipurpose device can, besides everything else, also read books.

Even smaller markets are information kiosks and "smart" price tags in supermarkets.

According to this, home prices were mostly flat from 1900 up until the 1970s. The proves the opposite of the point you are trying to make.
Indeed - as a rule of thumb, if you're going to do anything business related across state lines, always consult with both accountants and lawyers specialized in the state(s) you're thinking of getting involved in.
^This very much. I don't like pessimistic takes, but just based on the way everyone has handled climate change, things are going to be much worse for people not living in the great lakes region. And climate change is going to require cooperation from all the countries as well, and considering how well that goes even today I'm not holding my breath. If everything goes to hell in a hand basket and people start moving towards the great lakes regions en masse, then we will start figuring out how to preserve our great lakes. It could be too little too late, or it could require a massive effort the likes of the moon landing to fix the damage we could have prevented to the lakes if we had been diligent like this article suggest, but in my opinion the great lakes are the key at the end of all of this for a lot of people, and I'd rather have a few generational roots here for my family if that happens.
I've found for most substantial proofs I've been exposed to I understood the author's justification of how they found the proof. That doesn't mean I would have been able to come up with that step on my own, but once it was done I understood why they took it. If you get sufficiently far into the esoteric weeds of either analysis or algebra, the justifications won't be understood outside that field. But they don't have to be.

Theorem provers starting from basic axioms are often looking for things that aren't in the esoteric weeds of a specific subfield as it often takes too long for them to generate a suitable set of theorems that establish those fields.
This became a concern last year when companies were allowing Work From Home (WFH) but people were taking it as Work Remote. WFH means working from HOME not from a coffee shop, library, etc. And it certainly means not while in another state/country. It complicates taxes. I can see companies that allow WFH or Remote Work clarifying and forcing employees to sign an agreement regarding these clarifications and the employee must indemnify the company and pay for any additional tax compliance expenses and/or government fines [to the company] should they violate them.
It may be hard to call it coincidence for you, but to everyone else thats a sample size of 1.
Now is the time for anyone to get California in front of Clarence Thomas.

"The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States."

A sole owner of an Illinois business could be read in that text to have immunity from the California "minimum franchise tax."

It would be helpful to see the Supreme Court remove California's abusive interstate taxation.

Yes. The ABC test is simple. Someone is an independent contractor only if:

1. You don't tell them what to do, you just negotiate an end product.

2. Your main business is something else.

3. They routinely have other clients.

You might be surprised at how many companies get comfortable servicing a commercial niche and just choose not to pursue consumer growth. Without pursuing it, the potential value is hypothetical and internally it can be hard to build a compelling case for mass marketization.

There is a lot of effort required to scale up technologies to the point that it is affordable for consumers. In the software space I see it with solutions (think $500+/year/seat licensing) that could be broadly useful, but the company doesn’t want to make intuitive or bug free (enterprise software users will tolerate a lot of abuse). In the hardware space, there is a risk of building a million units of something that doesn’t sell (think Surface RT).

Interest rates for mortgages follow 30 yr treasuries which won't get very high. The Fed will come in with full on yield curve control at some point. 30yr treasuries are at almost 3%, already. I can't imagine they'll get higher than 4 or 5%, at least for not too long. The world is way too addicted to low rates. if interest rates rise for any long period, something will break, really badly, there will be a fear filled crash and the fed WILL come in: you can bet on that.
While this is true in many cases, it’s worth pointing out that that is the choice of the package author, and is not always super simple to implement. So yeah, much of the time it is nice, but you’ll sometimes also run into these classic sorts of issues, either because the authors do not put in that work or because there’s a bug in the implementation.
