The real benefit to the rich is capital gains rates are significantly lower than income tax rates in many places, so anyone who is paid via capital gains pays significantly less tax. The income tax over 150,000 in the UK is 45% plus 3% for national insurance, and capital gains is a flat 20% for someone on that income level.
Trump's followers forgive his behavior because he's perceived to be sticking up for them against a culture and society that they view as becoming increasingly hostile and condescending to their identity, values and way of life. Someone that plays dirty and packs a strong counter punch is a good thing.

The mindset is like this: you're an unpopular kid that feels bullied, and some bigger kid starts defending you. You aren't going to question the quality of his character.

Right-wing populism seems to always be like this. They make people who feel under siege (wounded national pride, whatever) feel safer and feel respected. That improvement in feeling swamps everything else.

> It is the same reason why India's government is also trying to ban cash (with very negative results for the economy).

The Indian government is not trying to ban cash. Demonetization replaced old currency notes with new ones and the total cash in circulation increased after demonetization played out.

In India, only the salaried class fully pays their taxes. Businesses which deal in cash don't and anything that makes tax evasion difficult is a Good Thing⟨™⟩.

I love it! I loved this game I used to play one on Android (square version). Told the dev I would even pay for it. It got very popular and then after a while it started to get ads. At that point I uninstalled it.

PS: Make a start button instead of starting on load. Also the other game had a hypnotic looping music. Which could be put off.
That's an invalid argument for multiple reasons, not the least of which is that some people can afford just one device.

That device is likely to be a smartphone because everything is slowly moving in the direction of requiring one.

If I need to spend extra money to get an additional "freedom device" and can't afford it, I just won't have one and will miss out on the good stuff.

Given that most of the companies/bosses are just not worth any loyalty it is the wise move to move on the 2 year limit. It's not only the salary increase -almost impossible to achieve by staying. To me more important is the job security by ensuring employability. As long as I can be hired elsewhere I know I'm still in the game. Another big plus is I can ignore a lot of the usual b..shit that I'd have to pay attention to if I was in for the long run.

Gosh. Lately I find it terribly difficult even to hit 1 yr mark. Companies and bosses whine about how difficult it is to find skilled people but they do whatever they can to drive them away on first chance.
Ok I'll agree upon it being a shades of grey - kind of thing. But why not just outright ban someone when it's clear he doesn't fall into those categories of a spammer, a scammer or a troll. Would be much more polite and straightforward in a kind situation where you just seem to have the "wrong opinions" that don't fit the forum or whatever.
I get that corporations want to create a sense of loyalty in their workforce but why would employees feel the need to feel loyal to a corporation?

Now, obviously it's not just about money. Or at least, not all material benefits (or costs) of being at one employer vs another can be easily translated into a dollar value. But ultimately, loyalty should not be a factor at all
Funny that you would assume that.

I use dedicated banking apps to "transfer value" because they're easy to use, secure, developed by a party I trust, and have legal protection from by law.

I get it, shittier countries don't have easy (or any) access to good banks. I still maintain that these value transfers should be done through their separate, secured and verified apps, no matter the transaction mechanism. Send money in the form of NFTs if that's what you want, but do so through an app that's built to do so securely, not some random NodeJS chat app.

Hell, because of the peer to peer nature of this thing, people's contacts can easily be tracked by the government. Good luck convincing the tax auditor that you didn't in fact send your parents a bunch of money when they have the connection logs to show it, enjoy paying unscrupulous taxes to your oppressive government. I'll take my alternative payment system offline or through a trusted third party server, thank you very much.

Federal law requires a person to report cash transactions of more than $10,000 by filing IRS Form 8300PDF, Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business.
https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/cash-payment-report-helps-gover...

See also https://www.fincen.gov/sites/default/files/shared/CTRPamphle... Federal law requires financial institutions to report currency (cash or
coin) transactions over $10,000 conducted by, or on behalf of, one person,
as well as multiple currency transactions that aggregate to be over
$10,000 in a single day

And finally remember civil forfeiture implies carrying "large" amounts of cash risks police seizing the cash with very limited recourse.

So no, not DOA in the US, rather already existing in the US but in a more sly format

So advocates of memory safe (or even high level, period) programming languages are just showing off their incompetence in your book?

Would you say to an advocate of C (much less ... rust): Look man, real programmers write in boolean circuits. Programming is hard, sure, but the engineers at Facebook, Reddit, and Clouflare are being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to show off their expertise. Is it that much to ask for them to read into details multiplication circuits?

Leapseconds causing widespread failures isn't a hypothetical, just like buffer overflows aren't. Yet, in theory, with perfectly competent development ...

Yet even with perfect competence leapseconds are still pretty gnarly: They require systems have a trustworthy and consistent source of the list of leapseconds. ... and they mean that you fundamentally cannot predict the amount of time between two UTC timestamps when one or more of them is more than 6 months in the future... and no amount of competence can fix that.
In a similar vain, I've noticed that the highest chance of making it into the top 20 posts here on HN depends greatly on the hour of the day.

This thread lacks factual information : no source for the $6.5k/month revenue, and no source for the LoRaWAN market analysis supposedly demonstrating it is a "fake, overblown use case"

Actually I would be interested in understanding better the choice made by Helium and the current and future use of LoRaWAN. When I first heard about Helium some years ago I wondered why they focused on this protocol compared to WiFi or cellular network technology. Which kind of devices are supposed to connect to Helium ? I suppose it is IoT devices, but most of them actually work perfectly fine with good old cellular networks

Just to be clear, is this a case where you can't dual boot windows and another OS, or you can't boot another OS at all (in either case, the other OS being non Microsoft authorised)? Or something else entirely? Would it be possible to disable this at all, even that means you can't boot Windows?

Yes, but the high-pressure/high-temperature environment of the turbine will spew NOx compounds out too — as I said we’ll have to see the result.

I’m neutral on this plan (scale up will have to be seen) but since you brought up this issue I’m responding.
Maybe you should show more bite-sized simpler examples?

There is a lot going on in your big example, and I wouldn't want to have to download and run it first to get a rough mental model of what's happening.
Yes, this is what I meant. By "disconnected" I meant causally disconnected, i.e. spacelike separated. Sorry for not making that clearer!

And yes, you can always boost to a frame such that the "order" of spacelike separated events will change (i.e., reverse which event is above and which is below a line of simultaneity). Since you can't objectively say which event happened first, they must be unable to influence each other, hence "causally disconnected".

If you're not into aviation then it's hard to complain about not knowing fuel names ;-)

But generally, you have kerosene and gasoline based fuels gmost popular of them are JET-A1 (kerosene with additives) and AVGAS100LL (gasoline based, low lead). There are others, including jet fuels that are heavily cut with paraffin (or infamously with lighter fluid) iirc and AVGAS variants that don't contain any lead.

Fully synthetic fuels have been used in the past, mostly for high efficiency (USSR had an R-7 aka Soyuz variant for extra hard orbits that used syntin in place of RP-1 aka kerosene) though lost people remember "coal to fuel" attempts of axis forces in WW2

I tried to be a little concise. These days we mostly wonder which Amazon review is fake, and which product might be counterfeit. In the earlier days of the internet niche forums surprised with exciting and on-point information and initiative. Back to your charging cord example, a store could innovate and stand out by offering reliable off-brand alternatives for things like charging cords. Such innovation is less likely when a monopolist is holding on to most of the market share.

Back to my main point: The basic logistics of distributing products around the world should be equally good or better in a world without monopolists - theoretically, monopolies extract a surplus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly#/media/File:Monopoly-...), intuitively it's obvious ("why try when you don't have to").
“Pure Python” commonly means implemented using only the Python language. Something written in pure Python ought to be portable across Python implementations. I was merely pointing out that this line

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/4395ff1e6a18fb26c7a66...

isn’t exactly pure Python, because, under a different runtime (eg PyPy), the code would take a different path (the “pure Python” implementation of _count_elements[1] instead of the C implementation[2][3]). Yes, it's hard to draw exact lines when it comes to Python, especially as the language is so tied to its implementation. However, I think in this case it's relatively clear that the code that specific line is calling is an optimization in CPython, specifically intended to get around some of the VM overhead. Said optimization comes into play in the OP.

You can only really do it once is one problem, so you want to use it for a _big_ raise if not a promotion. HR won't care and your line manager won't care, assuming you do it once. If you do it again you're the boy who called wolf. Also, you need to be prepared to walk if they don't give you the raise. Finally, you actually need to interview and get another offer. They don't just fall out of the sky! Remember that declining the offer from another company to stay in your current role is likely to make them reconsider hiring you.

If you're comfortable with the above, go get some leverage!

Ok, let's assume we only care about states that's always invalid, like negative health. So then my question is the same as for Jtsummers: is private a way to tell the programmer to look at all member functions to see if there is already a function that does what you need?
> Helium’s economy looks moderate or small, depending on how you parse the numbers. According to Token Terminal, Helium’s revenue in June totaled $2.6 million. That’s down from the April high of $5.5 million but a 73% improvement over the same period a year earlier. In 2020, Helium’s June revenue was below $200,000. Eddy Lazzarin, the head of protocol design at a16z, noted that when his firm first invested in Helium, “the last ninety days had something like $600.” It has come a long way since then.

> However, this is only part of the picture. Data Credits are used when onboarding a hotspot, asserting a location, and processing a payment. Onboarding hotspots, in particular, is intensive from a Data Credit perspective. Since Helium is onboarding so many new hotspots, this skews results, suggesting greater customer activity than is actually present. Data from The Decentralized Wireless Alliance removes these three uses, demonstrating the size of the Helium economy’s customer demand. By this measure, DC usage was just $6,561 in June.

I think a more succinct point would be to identify someone with a hair on fire problem. That I feel is more concrete. They do talk about this a bit later but I feel this is the starting point.
Two great novels were published in the 20th century: 1984 by George Orwell and A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

Both prophesied a dystopian future where we're oppressed, depraved, and shackled. Except, the paths they charted were different.

One prophesied that we would be oppressed by a hateful external tyrant, called Big Brother. The other prophesied that our autonomy would be deprived not by something we hate, but by the technology we will come to love.

One feared a world where our oppressor would ban books. The other feared a world where there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.

One feared a world that would deprive us of information. The other feared a world where we will be drowning in a sea of information rendering us numb and indifferent.

One of these novels in fact, did manifest itself into our current world.

But it wasn't the novel that most people feared would come true.
> We (as a species) overall do not behave like adults, really.

Ok fair enough. Still there's some sort of a social expectation to that effect. And when you don't behave then you'll get the social sanction given by the community. I can dig that this is the internet and that it's hard work to keep up the standard. You seem to see the two sides to this stuff as well.
If you actually read all those posts, which side am I supporting, pray tell? I'd really like to know myself since I've felt politically homeless for a while.

Yes, in a sense.

Flour and other inputs cost roughly 7% of the final price of a bread in Germany. The bulk of the cost is for equipment from kneading machines to delivery vans, salaries, rents and so on. So if you're a baker and have a bread oven with a capacity to bake 1000 loaves of a particular kind of bread and you typically sell 700-800, it makes sense to bake 800 every day and expect to discard 50 on average.

You don't know whether tomorrow is a day on which customers will walk into your shops and ask for 800 of that bread. You can try to guess (and bakers do) but you don't know. Your loss if you bake 800 and sell 700 is only 7% of the income you forgo by baking 700 if customers ask for 800, so it makes sense to bake a few more than you're likely to sell, and plan to throw those away.

Take a read of [this book], it has plenty of examples throughout history (from ancient times to today).

From memory, most recent example is I think Japan in WWII, and maybe Germany in both wars tho I can't recall clearly right now.

The thesis is: expansionist tendencies arise because states fail to efficiently tax their populations so they seek wealth through plunder.

Good question about where the money comes from first, I can't remember what the book said now but I'm sure there's possible solutions. Maybe: seize from the rich people in your own country first (likely by demonizing them ~ I think China did this to elites during the cultural revolution from memory from [another book]); the leaders are savvy enough to go to war before all the funds are gone; bootstrap by using emotive demonization of enemy and fear (I guess the Nazis did this to Jews before and during WWII) so you can be scrappy at first until you plunder some wealth and use it to upgrade and purchase more soliders.

Why not go the other way and just admit that Descartes gave us the Cartesian plane (among other things) but was at best a product of his time with: “I think therefore I am”.

Descartes was a genius, but he was no Alan Turing, and Alan-fucking-Turing got it wrong on the most famous thing named after him (among the lay population at least). The Turing Test was a great idea, but it’s now trivially useless.

Humans are special to (mostly) themselves and (substantially) other humans.
