I don't think a regressive tax would do anything to reverse the growing wealth gap in the U.S.
Corporate robots don't care.

They have gotten away with so much for so long, they live in their own disconnected reality.

When things break some of them cash out. Others find someone to blame. They don't pay a price at all. And the cycle continue.

In China atleast people are scared of the govt. In the west its a total joke how no one is ever held responsible.

Yes, but the "bad" tends to become "good", as the members of the society becomes weaker and weaker.
> RCS is crap and needs to die. Apple and Google should work together on a better standard.

And in the meantime, I—an iPhone owner—should not be able to have group chats with my Android-using friends?

"The perfect is the enemy of the good."

RCS may not be perfect, but it seems to have nice things over and above SMS. I have no objections to adding more nice things to RCS (or whatever comes after it), but why shouldn't we implement the nice things of RCS?
Midjourney beta is using Stable Diffusion
The author lost me on the assumption that RCS is a carrier-controlled service.
I doubt that carriers have much control over the roadmap of RCS, they haven't had real control over it for years now.
It's basically a service of Google (and to a decreasing extend Samsung).

Until 2015 the direction of RCS was for every carrier to setup infrastructure to operate a own RCS server. A few companies offered such RCS infra, but a key player in the center of the whole standardization and interoperability matter was a company called jibe.
Jibe was selling RCS servers (and clients) to network operators, and got a few of the key-carriers as customers from the start.

As each device-manufacturer was expected to develop/source his own client, and network carriers needed servers to interoperate as well, alot of interoperability discussions, testing and refinement was needed. As a key server-vendor, jibe was at the heart of all those topics and a strong participant in GSMA RCS.

In 2015 Google made a move to enter the RCS space and acquired jibe. It started the trajectory which transformed RCS into the mostly Google-operated service that it is today.
Google integrated RCS-client capabilities into their Android Messages application and offer RCS as a unified cloud-based service to operators.

Within just a few years:

- All network operators who planned to invest into RCS infrastructure scrapped those plans, entered an agreement with Google to use their cloud-based RCS-service instead and mandated towards device-vendors to adopt Android Messages.

- Network operators who had no concrete plans for RCS made the same agreement with Google as it promised revenue-share but required zero investment from them.

What remains is a handful of network carriers who #1: already have RCS-infra and #2: Didn't shut it down yet.

I'd say that 99% of all Android Smartphones today either use a Google Messages client or a Samsung Message client, with the majority of them connecting either to a Google RCS-server or a Samsung RCS-server.

The companies surely still align via GSMA, and the carriers / network operators are still involved in discussions about the specification, but given the direction of the past 5 years I don't see that they have actual control over the roadmap of RCS.

---

All that said, RCS is the best candidate we have to replace SMS, with a majority of carriers chipping in, so it would be reasonable for Apple to adopt RCS as a replacement for SMS and align with the industry on how this standard should be shaped.

Regressive taxes are fine if they are offset by a universal cash benefit. The purpose of a tax can be to curb some type of behavior, such as carbon emissions or water usage or road usage.

If it happens to be regressive, then that can be solved by giving everyone $x. And then you recoup via marginal income/marginal sales taxes.

It’s getting hard to label all these straw men!

1) I don’t know what “typical argument” that Disney pays too little you’re referring to. I find it completely believable that Disney pays too much, but haven’t run the numbers to figure that out. More important than how much they pay is why they pay it, as the latter controls the nature of their incentives.

2) Of course it’s not true that “no one” thinks public services that benefit private entities should be considered tax dollars doled back out to those entities. You’re talking to at least one such person right now, and I strongly suspect there are others.

3) No, I do not believe that all improvements have positive value, which is why I said no such thing and is also why your superfund example is not that tricky. If an improvement incurs negative value and cannot be easily separated from the land (such as pollution), then it becomes, effectively for all purposes (not just taxation) a feature of the land itself. In this case that would, as is reasonable, yield a reduced land value and thus a reduced tax basis. In cases where the negative improvement is easy to remove, the reduction would be less or nonexistent — as would be reflected automatically in the market price for that plot.

4) Yes we agree that determining the exact $ value separation between land and improvements is nontrivial.
I don't think you got your math right: previously one old car would be replaced by one new. The old one would (in your example) find another, presumably poorer local-market owner. With this subsidy, an old car get replaced with an e-bike. It is then scraped or, as you say, exported, so a poorer consumer either saves up and buys a new car, or doesn't. So in both examples you have either same number of new cars sold, or a deficit. Your theory doesn't hold up.

In real life, with subsidies like this, you end up with bigger number of used cars on the market, which also happen to be on average younger than up until this point, because a subsidy like this promotes giving up cars that would otherwise be held by their owners for longer. They also flood the market somewhat, so the price of a used car goes down. A poorer customer in market for a used car now has a better choice of cheaper and younger cars, so unlikely they'd be saving to buy a new car, benefiting car manufacturers.

In real-real life, there's too many variables and your conspiracy theory just doesn't make sense.

EDIT: oh, I now see that you meant that this would increase demand on the markets where used cars were traditionally exported to. Well, that makes sense, but a program like this is unlikely to make a big dent in a used car market abroad, collectively, especially that it is meant to take very old cars off the road, and emerging markets can afford newer cars already? And in particular it wouldn't benefit French manufacturers only.
You need to have owned the car for a year.
yes, and that is a solved problem for all encryption already, you need that to find any key in encryption.

what makes that hard now is the search takes so much time.

In a theortical post quantum world that search wont take much time.

So the only way I see that post quantum encryption can be secure is if it is impossible to guess a solution and test it for correctness - which for whatever reason... never seems to get addressed.

Hearing what you are saying, and asking myself which has closer form-factor to a horse: a car, or an e-bike?

A regressive tax like that would raise taxes on the working class, lower it for the wealthy.
Criminals WILL have private ways - as long as it's mathematically feasible, which it is. All regulation only affects people other than those who wish to protect their conversations.

And to add: "If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him." Therefore - we shouldn't give the system all of the lines.

> Every country spies on their nominal allies.

no.

they have sources and intelligence officers share information, for various reasons, not excluding political beliefs.

but spying the way USA was doing it on Merkel (for example) is not common, at all.

It would also mean that American intelligence is more incompetent than French or Italian intelligence, never caught spying an ally, which cast some doubts on why CIA is so highly praised...

I really don't believe it's true.

And frankly "former intelligence officer says that" it's more information warfare than something newsworthy.

If we believed "former intelligence officers" flying saucers should be filling our skies.

I have looked around the website and I really have no idea what this is. I feel their marketing and doc could do with a bit more explanation if it's intended for devs. Is it like applets in that there is a runtime in the browser? Or more like GWT which compiles Java to Javascript?

Also, the website which is apparently created with the technology, is incredibly slow, at least for me.

And the website doesn't give useful loading indicators, e.g. click a link, nothing happens, or go to the doc section and navigate and lots of empty screens (presumably while the content is loading). No browser loading indicator, nor spinner in the content.

Robert Graves, who first made his name as a war poet, gradually eliminated all the WW I poems from his Collected Poems. "Remembering War" lasted long enough for Jarrell to mention this in a review in the 1950s. But by 1965 it was gone. I'm not sure how many write well of their own wars.

The only "good" thing is that the current German government is very skeptical about this and two of the current governing parties (the Greens and the liberal party) have also long been opposed to more surveillance.

This was different with the previous government where the "law & order" mentality was much more entrenched, and which did nothing to prevent e.g. upload filters (despite promising to do so).

So I try to maintain some hope that at least Germany as a member state could tank this awful bill.

The point is that if we're going to finally replace SMS (which we should) then we should replace it with a protocol that's better. Saying "you can get spam on SMS, so who cares if RCS can spam you too?" is ridiculous. Maybe 20 years ago RCS would have been a nice protocol. Nowadays, it's utter trash. We need a proper, interoperable standard that doesn't involve carriers. RCS is not even remotely it.

Even if the law merely mandates you buy a bike from a French retailer, I'd expect to see a substantial part of the subsidy captured by the retailer.

We see the same here in HVAC upgrade programs. To get the rebate, you have to have a state-licensed installation company do the install. When the rebates are increased, prices go up. When the rebate schemes end, there's a big push at the end of the program to get the install done while the rebates are in effect; once the schemes end, prices drop a bit [still end up higher than with-rebate, but by nothing like the full value of the rebate].
People just love to talk about how horrible the US healthcare system is but my disabled daughter has never paid a dime for care in her life (in Kansas, of all places!) via Medicaid. Even her birth was free due to retroactive Medicaid. Her 9 months in the NICU was billed at over $2 million. Thanks taxpayers.

I was having chest pains last week and got triaged within minutes at the ER. I’m pretty sure I “owe” them $500 for a previous ER visit which nobody mentioned during my stay.

My 65 year old uncle hasn’t had insurance in 20 years but when he got cancer three ago the social worker helped him sign up for disability and they got him on Medicare so fast your head would spin. He started chemo basically immediately and while his cancer is terminal the treatment has kept him alive for a long time, even longer than the doctors predicted.

My wife got billed $200,000+ for a visit in the hospital when she had a critical illness and almost died. She ended up paying $2000. This was more than ten years ago and it didn’t ruin her credit and nobody ever came after her for it.

And One more. The hospital messed up the billing for our first daughter’s birth and called us two years later saying we didn’t have insurance (we did). My wife said that was their problem. We never heard from them again or got a bill. I guess they just ate the cost? No idea. But it was over seven years ago and there were zero consequences and we never paid a dime.
