There's seeing at a superficial level and seeing at a deeper level. Plenty of companies were designing, building and selling hardware using the same components and making many of the same tradeoffs. The point is Apple realised what this meant, and saw what the implications would be to try and actually address those issues.
are there no people who, even today, advocate for reducing spending to be closer to revenues?

if so, forgoing revenues in such a scenario would consequently lead to such people advocating for even less spending, and/or higher taxes on the rest of us, even if we'd rather have the spending and also higher taxes on the parties in question

tl;dr: Your comment is based on the fallacy that a) government spending can't be maintained at current levels while simultaneously removing this loophole and taxing the parties in question
Maybe this is evidence this place does not in fact have "lots of world class thinkers"? It's classic bike-shedding.
> My main complaint about the RadWagon is that it doesn’t have hydraulic disc brakes, instead using a less effective mechanical version, which don’t have the stopping power that their more complicated counterparts do.

So... replace them with hydraulic ones? Have your bike shop do it? If you're not happy with the braking, the right answer is to find a way to fix it.

I went through several different types of brakes on my Seattle ebike commuter builds, before settling on some fairly high end dual piston hydraulic brakes with the "ebike" pad compound (a higher temperature compound). The mechanical ones didn't work as well as I liked on hills and the feel was awful, so I found some that worked better, and when they suffered heat fade on some of the quite steep hills, I played with brake pad compounds until I found some that worked well.

Let's be realistic here. Hatsune Miku was created before 2010. While I dislike the genre, they've completely sold out all tickets to these festivals where "she" "performed".

You're really not thinking it through if you think any genre isn't going to fundamentally change once the industry starts to push virtual artists. They can be perfect and relatable to teenagers. You really don't need physical people to pull off a good festival, a well orchestrated 3d avatar is likely even better because they can be bigger and seen from the back
I can think of one: deriving a type for a prepared statement.

To do that you have to parse the schema to get the table types and work backward. That lets the analyzer decide what sorts of data may be legally passed to a given prepared statement, and produce type failures at compile time.

We see with the Russia sanctions that the US wants to maintain control of the currency, so if this comes to be it's going to be hobbled as a crypto currency to do just that, and by that point you may aswell improve the existing infrastructure.

This is never going to be the electronic version of a dollar bill. Untraceable, irreversible. It's not going to get to the point where you can get rid of traditional banks.

A marginal sales tax would not necessarily do so. Pick a consumption dollar amount below which one is not wealthy and above which one is wealthy, according to you. Say, spending $1,000,000 per year.

Consumption up to that amount is taxed at 0%. Marginal consumption above that amount is taxed at 20%.

In much the same way that the cashier at McDonalds does what the manager instructs them too, yes. But if the goal of the manager is to get what they want at the expense of the customer, then the restaurant should fail. The same holds true with other businesses; the management serves the ownership, but the ownership should want the business to make the customers happy.

But this model and your strategy makes dissent necessary in the first place. To such a degree that the content of any opposing view is secondary compared to the mere existence of dissent as there is a guarantee that you will be wrong when enforcing consensus at some point.

The categorical imperative would only forbid the people of Authorityville to spread chaos in Consensusland. It has no intrinsic contradiction as it is not a strategy for conflict resolution and you would need to adhere to it in dominant and not dominant positions.

There are just some wrong premises for misinformation. Misinformation is fought best with free information. There are untrue statements about the economics of misinformation and that it would win against free information because it is easier to produce. I believe this is empirically wrong and has lead us to wrong conclusion who best to combat it. And this will result in less ability to form consensus and also less trust.
Even if you ignore the resistance to handouts the idea that the federal government in its current state or any reasonably probable future state could pull off administrating said handouts without it devolving into a bunch of special interest BS and partisan bickering and actually accomplish the goal of making a VAT a regressive pain in everyone's butt is just laughable.

Look at healthcare spending. Look at social safety nets. Look at defense. Odds are that any spending in an attempt to make VAT less regressive would wind up looking a lot like those and having most of the same problems because it would be subject to the same sets of perverse incentives from top to bottom.

I am not even going to waste my time anymore with someone who confuses Slovakia with Slovenia, that sums up your knowledge about EU laws pretty well.
are you aware how legislation works? you regulate a category as a whole, not randomly pick a specific company and write laws just for it.

if you regulate alphabet in particular, that would send everyone a message that this is now the "officially approved" provider. no others are regulated, after all! it would only increase the barrier to competition.

competition is a good thing. currently, thanks to email+DNS being open protocols, there are no barriers to operating e-mail for your own domain or providing it as a service. as a result, plenty of profitable providers (fastmail, aws) between which users can seamlessly switch.

I don’t know what to search, unless it’s specific. When google directory was still alive, I could spend hours visiting random or seemingly interesting subdirectories and links, products, sites. But now there is no way, on youtube or anywhere else to specify/discover your interest of the day and just go there. It’s like sitting in the office and interacting with the world through a shitty secretary who only does shallow de-nuanced searches for your verbal requests once or twice a week.
I purchased a pink (well, metallic fuchsia) Jeep Wrangler this year, and reactions are wildly positive. I get compliments from random strangers at least once a week.

I think people appreciate color, they just don't want to buy something that they perceive as harder to sell because of it. (Plus, of course, a couple buying a car may both like bright colors but like different bright colors.)

Update: I should link to a piece I wrote about the Jeep and reactions to it, inspired by a Bob's Burgers episode.

In the context of sales tax, any politically possible tax is going to burden the middle class more as they spend more as a fraction of their income.

Income taxes don’t have that, as they’re a progressive tax.

The idea you’ll have an “exponential function” in the tax policy is pure lunacy that’s not politically tractable, though.

For a solid and genuine technical person considering a CISO or CISO-like role, I've had the impression that they have to be very selective where they go.

Even in what I'd guess is an "ideal" situation, of tractable technical&process problems, and genuine buy-in from the C-suite for solving/improving them, there's still going to be dynamics/politics to navigate.

I also hear of a lot of much-less-than-ideal situations.

The margin is not based on the percentage of your income/wealth that you spend, it is based on the amount you spend. Like income.

For example, $0 to $50k per year spend is taxed at 0%, then $50k to $100k is 10%, etc.

Although a continuous exponential function is preferable than discrete cliffs.

The poster claimed to prefer thicker laptops with replaceable batteries. There were lots of thicker laptops out there with obviously replaceable batteries. If it was such a priority, there were plenty of options.

People are acting like they didn't have a choice but to choose a laptop with a battery glued in. No, the poster chose that machine at the time. There were laptops on the market with replaceable batteries, it just wasn't really their priority as they claim. If it was their priority, you'd think they would have bothered checking.

If I claim having a lot of RAM is important for my machine, and then I buy a laptop with 2GB, I can't really go about arguing I didn't have a choice but to buy the 2GB machine. I just didn't bother investigating the specs and figure out there are machines much more suited for my demands.

There were teardown reviews of the MBA almost instantly when it came out. The knowledge was there, if it was a priority they could have easily known. I'm arguing it wasn't really a priority, I'm sure they were plenty satisfied with that device the day they bought it. They went and choose a machine without bothering to consider if the battery was user serviceable. They might say now it's a priority, but when they paid for the machine it clearly wasn't.

1. I wasn't suggesting that those questions were in the training data. That’s not my contention at all. My contention is that GPT-3 is sampling from patterns it has observed in text to generate more text - and only that. Do you imagine that it has some reasoning process in which it evaluated the effect of a grain of salt on the Andromeda galaxy, before it decided to spit out a formulaic denial of the question’s premise?

2. Thanks for the link to Minerva. Haven’t had a chance to read that, and it’s interesting. It does seem to be a project specifically aimed at getting quantitative reasoning, meaning that there are a lot of architectural priors going into that objective.

3. Your last point is quite reductive and strange. When I engage in a conversation, I don’t just vomit up patterns I’ve seen before. I critically evaluate information I’m taking in, I consider my past experiences, I apply imagination and curiosity, and I decide if I have something to say in response. If I do, I search for the language patterns that seem capable of expressing what I have to say. This process is nothing like a generative model regurgitating plausible but empty blather. I think humans only do that for specific reasons (performatively, to fill page counts, to write placeholder copy, etc.).
I would always choose bright color, as I find it safer (more visible across weather conditions). It’s just hard to get them if you want a lease (and I don’t want to own a car - ever).
Your arguments are so weird I don't know how to answer them.

People buying and selling something constitutes a market in general definition but you seem to make the effort to redefine it - in any way that makes it so NFTs will never count.

It's either wash trading, or a scam, or something. I don't understand why you're jumping through all these hoops to convince yourself that this isn't real when I am presenting you evidence that it is, but you seem impossible to convince so I won't try.

Suffice to say I buy and sell art in NFTs using my own money, I have my own NFT collection, and I don't scam people nor do I buy from scammers. That to me constitutes a market.
The worst part of SQL is indeed how hard it is to compose. Something like D, where you would keep the relational model but add user-defined types would indeed be a strict improvement.

The reason why I'm skeptical of most proposed alternatives is that I'm fundamentally in your exact same position: I know SQL isn't perfect but I'm reasonably content with it; and they invariably all end up throwing away the "good parts" of SQL (relational model, declarative, easy stuff is easy).

The first step of an hypothetical solution that replaces SQL isn't "SQL sucks", it's "SQL is extremely good at what it does but has problems that are only fixable with a new language".

> The purpose of a tax can be to curb some type of behavior, such as carbon emissions or water usage or road usage.

They're to collect money for the government so that it can do things (or just sit on the money if you're a king). King George didn't tax the colonies because he wanted them to stop doing things; he did it because he wanted the money. In more modern times, a government raises taxes to pay for new roads or whatnot.

Using taxes as punishment is just a nice benefit that the government can wield.

If you don't believe that kids (ages 11 & 12) can get a bike to the top of a hill, with the thrill of a fast (exciting, dangerous) ride down the hill as inducement - then maybe you should not be allowed to be a parent. And it's not like the parents involved were magically ignorant of the existence of a steep hill in the area.

Suppose a poor person makes $20k a year, all of this immediately spent on necessities and taxed, say at 5%. So their net tax rate is 5%.

Now imagine a rich person making $200k, spending $100k taxed at 10% because of marginal increases, and saving the rest. The rich person also pays a net tax rate of 5%.
It mentions two supposed faults: use of a quick release mechanism on the front wheel in conjunction with disc brakes; that the 'electrical power failed to shut down'.

There's potentially merit in the first one, but it seems like the front wheel didn't actually loosen or eject the hub, so it doesn't seem at fault for the wreck here. As a Rad Power bike owner myself, I don't buy the second claim either. The most likely cause here would be user error, with the girl operating the bike continuing to pedal on the downhill, causing the hub motor to engage up until the governor's 20mph limit. (She also could have been engaging the throttle, but if she was breaking, that would be VERY difficult for an 11-year-old's hands to do on a Rad Power. Keeping the throttle engaged while also braking is not exactly easy for a full-grown hand to do given the design. I don't see a kid doing it.)
