I dunno. A lot of the worst stuff this could be used for kinda pales in comparison to what's going on already by different means.

Like, if you're trying to smear someone, using big media and abusing the courts to fuck them up (say, Assange or Hale or Reality Winner) makes this look like a Fisher Price toy club next to an uzi.

If you're trying to sway an election, the big data and subtle ads (and again, big media and the courts) makes far more of a difference than this. Think Brexit, Trump 2016, the count in Florida in 2000, Diebold machines, etc.

If you're trying to topple a government / make taxpayers pay a huge bailout / start an illegal war / etc, etc, etc - this is just another small tool; the leather punching tool on a vast penknife.

Conversely, the creative potential may be larger than most suspect. To me, this feels like we're getting close to something like the holodeck in Star Trek, where people can share the fruit of their imagination with anyone for virtually no cost (IP lawyers shudder, like Lionel Hutz imagining a world without lawyers).
I think it's more having the mindset to think externally to yourself and put yourself into users 'usecases', not personal self interest.
To be fair, on this scale, “the total number of atoms in observable universe” is quite a small number.

Even 52! comes pretty close to it, and that’s just one deck of cards.

Saying there are merely “more” states is almost insulting to the depth of a chess game :)

I had conservative in-laws, who lived through the 80's unions, indoctrinate me into the anti-union view by portraying all unionized workers as lazy. They believed Unions are the sole reason why companies like Eastern Airlines dissolved. Perhaps unions did grow more corrupt in the past.

As I looked into it further, it was similar to the argument how conservatives don't support certain social services because it'll cause people to be lazy and underperform in society. There is probably some truth to that, and there's always going to be people taking advantage of the system.

I do agree with you that the balance has shifted too much on the anti-union side. I hope these new unionizing efforts help shift the balance back to the middle.

Ha! I wonder how amusing these will continue to be. IMHO there's a numbness that comes after reading too much computer generated nonsense.
The difference between roads and other things you mentioned is that current road infrastructure, especially in cities have huge costs for health, lifestyle, mental health. I don't want cars in cities and if I have to have them I want car owners to pay the full cost of making city life way worse hoping alternatives emerge.

> I mean if we really look at some of the business models for these companies, they're clearly unsustainable. Uber is a prime example of a company that seems destined to fail.

Lyft and Uber are both very near profitability and things are looking pretty good for them over the next couple years.

Why do you believe they are destined to fail? Established markets have been profitable for a while.
> High property taxes are good

Not necessarily. I've learned that at least in Toronto, the property tax rate is derived from the budget instead of the other way around. Let this article explain: https://torontoist.com/2016/12/how-property-taxes-work-toron...

> With sales and income taxes (which can only be levied provincially and federally) governments establish a tax rate, and then see how much money that brings in.

> Each year municipalities decide how much money they need to bring in, and then set their property tax rates accordingly, to ensure they collect the requisite sum. They start from the total they need to raise, in other words, and work backwards to figure out what tax rate will yield that amount.

Because of this "backward" system of tax calculation, if every single building doubled in value, the tax rate will be halved, and the city will receive the exact same revenue.

So if you raise the property tax rate more than what it should "naturally" be, what will you do with the budget surplus? What will you spend it on?

1. I'm not sure the Full Faith and Credit Clause works here. For example, say some state (Louisiana? Utah?) legalized marriages of adults to eight-year-olds. And such a "couple" moves out of state. Does the state have to recognize that "marriage", just because of the Full Faith and Credit Clause? I kind of doubt it. For that matter, before Obergefell, some states had recognized same-sex marriage, and nobody said that the Full Faith and Credit Clause required other states to recognize them.

2. "A president sending in troops" is going to overrule a lot more than one Supreme Court decision. It's, probably, the end of the United States and the start of a civil war... if the military obeys such an order, which they should not.
Interesting, I'd never considered such a scenario. Thank you.
If it's ape-like to not be able to detach from your own ass and walk around, I guess I'm in that group too.
Not sure what you mean by this. The city itself is quite diverse. Who are “they”?

Also this is all of NY, not just Rochester, that has rates such as these.
Hey! I've learned network programming with your guide when I was teenager - thank you!
I assumed the discontinuity the commenter was referring to here is the >=1 year cutoff for long term capital gains. After one year, all of the gains from the previous year are instantly converted to a lower tax bracket. You're not required to reassess the cost basis at the 1 year mark or anything like that, so there's a huge (intentional) incentive to hold capital for over 1 year.
Countries with strong labour laws also have strong unions. Their existence is precisely the reason why such labour laws exist. It's a matter of power balance, and laws swing the way power is.

Credibility is earned through a variety of means in our world. There is no true free meritocracy of ideas. A theory about the multi-dimensionality of our universe proposed by a Physics Nobel Prize winner is going to have automatically more credibility and be more worthy of deep consideration and debate, than a Physics Professor, than a new Physics PhD, than a Physics undergrad, than a non-Physics Science students, than a non-Science university student, than a high school drop out, than a homeless person on the street.

Jordan Peterson is treated by his fans as someone with explicit credibility on the domain of human society and its problems and solutions. In my analogy they treat his ideas on string theory as somewhere between a Physics Professor and a Nobel Prize winner.

When in point of fact, his ideas and credentials lie closer to a 1st year English major talking about how the "Universe vibrates" right before they tell you about the healing crystals they bought on eBay. If you squint enough that may sound like String Theory, but it's not the same.

Jordan Peterson builds his entire philosophy on a foundation of Judeo-Christian values. Note, I didn't say he basis his personal ethics on these values - which would be perfectly valid, but rather he believes that this is the only possible way for society to function. That means he is fundamentally, militantly, faithfully against gay marraige, against women in the workplace (he doesn't say he's AGAINST it, but he asks questions that inherently suggest he does not believe in gender equality), and is pro societal hierarchies - within the family, and across it.

All of his other "arguments" - about wages, employment, IQ, etc, are all built on top of this foundation, that I believe is fundamentally broken.

So yes, I will absolutely challenge any idea from Jordan Peterson by default based on his lack of credibility, just as I will challenge any idea about the origins of the universe from a hippie suggesting I rub some quartz crystals on my temples to get in touch with Gaia.
That isn't the same as "employing someone just to keep them busy", though. They are employing them to make more money; it just so happens that the work they are doing doesn't actually provide value to society.

It might seem like a minor distinction, but I think it matters when trying to understand the motivations involved.
It boggles my mind that you think your representative cares.

I'm glad your friends and family won't forget it, but neither will his other constituents. They'll turn out in droves to support him, and will almost certainly return him to office.

I don't know who your representative is, so maybe you're in one of those few knife-edge districts. But right now it looks as if Republicans are going to overwhelm the House and Senate, if only because people almost always vote against the party in the White House, even when there isn't a recession going on.

Sounds quite nice to me. A good example of how private agreements such as easements can solve a lot of problems that people think require "government" solutions.
That's complete nonsense.

This regulation increases freedom for everyone (users and businesses), except for large platform operators.

You as a user are free to continue exactly as you were, and if you are a business that is not Apple or Google you have more flexibility and freedom to choose.
This isn't correct. Apple Car Play does not play anything automatically on start. It's the Lexus that is telling the device to begin playing music.

If you don't use Apple Music, it'll pick the only album you have -- which for many people is the U2 album Apple added to everyone's library for free many years ago.

Ah yeah I think there's a collection of issues related to small text within XR! The biggest one is really pixel density on XR headsets, which is always an issue for small text, or far-away text. XR also can't benefit from sub-pixel approaches to font rendering either. Since you can always move further from text, there's also the IRL issue that the text is just too far to make out!

The current raster technique should actually be fine for smaller text, there's some super-sampling going on in the shader that should help a bit here too! I'm not entirely certain what else could be improved on in this case besides font selection, I'd be open to suggestions or tips :)
I totally disagree because high property taxes means people would be pushed toward small and small, bad and worst houses. As a result instead of encouraging remote work and energy saving high taxes encourage crappy popular housing that waste much more energy AND can't be improved.

At maximum I agree about taxing homes depending on their energy consumption (all sources) to encourage modern house development. But definitively not high taxes on properties. I'm Italian and I've seen the effect of them destroying the market AND pushing people toward crappier and crappier homes. It's not just a personal idea.
A city breaking the law for decades by paying the school district illegally and no one doing anything about it out of fear of getting bad PR for their election campaign... or mishandling property assessments for 8 years are all pretty huge examples of incompetence and are not something I expect in a first world country.

It's the exact opposite of the system working. It's people being given power because of their party rather than their qualification and it indicates a greater sickness in politics in which we have become binary sports fans rooting for our team no matter the cost or quality of the candidate.

To be fair I have no clue how broken property taxes are in Europe or Japan or other first world places, but this ordeal was eye opening to me having grown up assuming our local governments were held to a higher standard.
I'd rather not go on call than get more money. That said, I kept such a good eye on prod that my team often identified problems with roll-outs in unrelated products that we didn't have control over and managed to stop them before they broke anything related to revenue. This has a neutral effect on perf.

They will still be able to choose the apple ecosystem. Feigning to see? The regulation is to put a stop to walled gardens tynany.

The players this regulation target are pretty obvious. It's those that have gained such market dominance along the years that it has become unfair competition for newer players. It is the outcome of years of consumer pressures and entrepreneurs who are calling out for some government actions because markets are regulated anyway everywhere in the world, and these US based companies (for the most part for now) have lobbied along the years to get away with their practice but the EU has decided their lobbying won't do with them. At least not anymore.
what kind of bullshit work do you mean exactly? Who is wasting their money paying people to do "bullshit work" that doesn't actually need to happen?
I'm not a UX developer by trade, but I've had to develop UX in my time so I've picked up some things.

It's not about how fast you get to something.

You talk to users and they will go on and on and on about "clicks". Anyone talking to you about the number of clicks doesn't understand UI let alone UX. Making everything "one click" away is how you get those massive button interfaces. It's just information overload and even harder to navigate than something that would take more clicks to navigate.

Another way to think about this is that a book takes many "clicks" to write. And a book that was written in one "click" wouldn't be good to read. Some long books are quick to read and some short books take forever to read. Flow is way more important than number of actions.

Realizing that always shooting for "easier" is a mistake.

Things must flow. Except where they shouldn't. Sometimes you want to actually put in resistance. Sometimes you want to make sure that what a user does is actually what they want to do. You want them acting with purpose and intention. If something has a large effect on the system, you want people to not accidentally do that. The best way to do that is to make it slightly involved.

FWIW, I highly, highly recommend showing them (simpler) movies with _english_ subtitles.

This helped tremendously when I was going from “school English” to “native English”, because things I couldn’t pick up by ear yet, I could pick up by reading the subtitles.

If you watch it with Ukrainian subtitles, your brain just falls back on what it already knows, and ignores the soundtrack (mostly).

Can you say more about the influence of renters?

It seems to me to be the opposite. The mortgage interest tax deduction is a massive regressive government subsidy for homeowners, and penalizes younger people who rent or cannot afford to buy a home.

So I’m curious what suggests to you that renters have political power. To me it seems the opposite - tax policy massively prefers owners over renters.
They label property taxes as an absolute value paid, rather than as a percentage. Illinois per the Tax Foundation had the second highest rate*. In fact, it speaks to Illinois' and Chicago's affordability** that with such a high marginal rate, their property taxes as a dollar amount are on-par with many other states.

Where I live there's a brand of duct tape called Duck Tape. It's terrible compared to the 3M brand tape, but it's cheap so it's popular.

Also nobody that knows what they're doing uses "duct tape" on ducts, so the name is pretty meaningless.
The "idea" of the article is true. However I do think the KDE plasma desktop experience (at least since I've been using it a few months ago) works really well and is on par with macOS.

The UI of all the KDE applications are very similar, and the 2 others app I use (IntelliJ and Firefox) have their own cross-platform UI anyways. The desktop is stable and fast and I haven't noticed any missing features we "take for granted" on macOS and Windows.

I do admit there are a few flaws. And by "few" I mean, basically package installation. I need to use sudo apt-get or dpkg -i or "Marketplace" or sometimes just build directly. I'm using Debian, maybe Arch is better here but even `pacman -S` is confusing to people who've never used Linux before. Also you can't just click on a .deb to install it which makes no sense and is a major flaw IMO as most people just download from site + click to install on other OSs anyways. There are also a few areas where plasma actually does things better than macOS and Windows (e.g. click-to-open, "move here / copy here" dialog).

IMO the biggest issue is that the Linux desktop space is so fragmented, it took me a while to find plasma. My first Linux desktop was Ubuntu on xfce which is IMO garbage and unless I'm mistaken still the de-facto default. I definitely don't think that everyone should converge on plasma, but I do think it would be nice if everyone can agree to recommend plasma to newcomers: yeah it has a lot of bloat for power-users and may be slower, but as of now nothing else really compares in user-friendliness.
When you see anti-consumer stuff like requiring a mostly value capturing middle man, your mind should immediately go to supply/demand imbalance. If the suppliers are structurally advantaged by having limited supply in light of demand(e.g. by zoning or high building costs driven [frequently driven by regulations and minimums]), then you're going to see the supply side try to extract as much value from transactions as possible. They can get away with this because they have no competition. You can build all the alternative, consumer friendly marketplaces you want but supply will not use them because why would they? The only solution is to build more housing. You might say that New York is one of the densest places in the world already, but this is a clear signal that they haven't built enough.
If you don't mind me asking, where do you live? Because my area is very similar, but all 'reciprocal easements allowing owners to pass' are all based on county/state law, and enforced via such. Anything paved, tar/chipped, graveled, or traveled via dirt is a county road and subject to county maintenance and oversight.

Yeah the antiwork reddit in particular is kind of.. uncomfortable to read sometimes. I want it to be more about giving workers more of the benefit of their labor but they seem to be just anti doing anything at times.

Maybe, except there's not much downside. You also save significant time, because engineers trying to come up with the name of a service can be a drawn out and painful exercise, especially if it's a new service where you won't know its full responsibilities and boundaries until it's been used and built on for a significant time in production. I've seen so much time wasted with engineers trying to name services descriptively, especially when a similar service already exists.
