Correction: we add ethanol to subsidize the corn industry. It is not cheaper to do so, it is mandated by law.
Sure, but any incentive to speed up that effort will help. In the meantime, oil and gas will fine without the existing subsidies, given they are still posting record profits in the midst of the war:

I second this. I started writing HTML/Javascript since before CSS existed. Nowadays I mainly do backend, but keep doing JS/CSS/HTML for some small pages.

I recently started to work in React for some work stuff, and I just hate it. Actually, both the "class oriented" and the newer "hook oriented" versions just suck. They amount of abstraction crap that get over a website is amazing. And Redux with the dispatch state change ... Angular is a bit more sane but still similarly bloated.

If money is persuasion (i.e. I can pay you money to change your behaviour) then that explains perfectly why money is both energy and information....

Energy changes behaviour (that is literally how we reason about behaviour; in terms of energy).

Let me try to justify "energy = persuasion" (which a very hippie way of seeing energy)we factor persuasion into the information that was presented and then the trust you place in that information. The more you trust the information the more it affects your behaviour. Clearly this is contextual! Depending on how you choose to interpret information you may have different assessments of trust.

Energy is a more materialistic concept, the information would be the matter I suppose while the trust (which is contextual by above) has to be an assessment of the relation this information has to other information (matter in this case), i.e. you can easily obtain some kind of newtonian physics (drawing in the forces acting on an object as a way to assess how to trust this information in the context of material world).

I think that we will soon be mature enough to accept that this is the case and we will be willing to read https://datalisp.is (so I don't have to write this over and over again).

Legitimacy essentially has a similar role to gravity. It is a force acting on the trustworthiness of information; thereby affecting its' persuasiveness.

Does volumetric power density cause any issues besides making the devices relatively large (and thus more expensive)?
> Going into 2022, I would rather governments focus on educating people how to use computing devices than nannying them by barring two businesses from engaging in business. #1 thru #3 can be changed via public education, or even requiring more transparency from search engines to make comparing them easier.

Google/Microsoft/etc will donate tons of hardware and software to public schools to ensure teaching kids to use their products become the lesson plan. They're already doing this; they pay schools to be the default just like they pay Mozilla to be the default.

So you still have to solve the same sort of problem, except "company donates computers to school" sounds like a sort of charity and that makes it relatively politically unassailable.

Not at all. In fact, it's very telling. There's also a big difference between "playing a video game" and what this person is doing.

What did you feel you would have lost?

I can imagine answers, but I've never been in that situation. There are may be things I won't think of.

This is why I'm asking - my first instinct is take the money so I'd like to fully understand the thinking of the opposite side.

In any case thanks for replying.
I appreciate you taking the time to write this thoughtful response. I am sympathetic with some of it, and certainly I could have been more diplomatic.

>"But also: you could have just put more effort into it. As it stands, the comment you're talking about could be persuasive only to someone who takes your word on things, because it doesn't support any of the arguments it makes."

No one reads long walls of text, not least in threads with >1000 comments. Concision is a great virtue in nearly all communication. I would say two things to the refrain that I didn't 'support' any of my assertions, and that my post 'could be persuasive only to someone who takes your word on things'.

First, they are a form of 'immanent critique'[1]. Anglo-American society recognises some basics moral and political norms. These include the idea of equality and that people shouldn't be privileged because of blood or race, the idea of liberty and that one people should not coercively rule another, and the idea of democracy and that a people ought to choose its own government. I made some simple observations to the effect that the British monarchy egregiously violates all three.

In this sense I don't need to argue for my evaluative premises because they're all bromides within our gestalt. But if you juxtapose them with some basic facts about the monarchy, suddenly it becomes obvious that there's a catastrophic contradiction. I am working from premises most people accept to a surprising - but I think obviously correct - conclusion.

Second, this same burden of 'support' is not being applied to those on the other side of the conversation. The person to whom I was responding said nothing to support their assertion that the Queen was a 'moral authority' other than that the Queen didn't succumb to personal scandal. A standard that lots of very bad people meet.

Those states however have disproportionate representation in both the House and Senate. So it’s not as simple as one having a say and the other not. Additionally, SALT isn’t exclusive to CA, any state with income taxes benefits from it (and most states do have income taxes). I think if you were to zoom out to the country level in a hypothetical international tax sharing scheme, where the voting mechanics were similar to the Senate and House, you’d probably flip sides, thinking of course it makes sense that a country should have some flexibility to protect its revenue (while still for the record delivering the highest contribution) vs. having a vote that isn’t really representative of its population nor contribution to some international tax pool. Because again, even without SALT, these states were often still providing the largest contributions, and often paying the highest taxes. This was fairly obviously a vindictive move here, that passed in the same bill that had massive wealthy tax cuts. It’s not like this money was now “finally able to get to the poor citizens of wherever” or something.

What does this mean: "repeals the tax deduction for tertiary injectant expenses" ?

If I'm an oil driller and I spend $25 on "tertiary injectants" to produce $200 of oil, my real income is $175. So, the government should only be taxing me on $175.

Does this deduction mean simply that? Or is it an extra bonus deduction allowing me to claim $200 - $25 - $25 bonus = $150 income?

If it's just a normal allowed expense, then why is the government even involved in deciding which of my expenses are legit (beyond fraud levels)?

If it's a bonus expense that counts twice, then why was this even passed in the first place?

Politics aside, I'm getting a strong "chesterton's fence" feeling here - we're removing something that sounds like it shouldn't exist in either scenario, without understanding what led it to exist in the first place...
I can only speak for myself here but of all languages I've tried for WASM-4 (WAT, C, Rust & Zig) it is the most productive one for me.

I really enjoy the balance of safety and control in Zig. I can build using Debug mode during development, turning nearly all my bugs into crashes which are easily fixable using in-browser source-level debugging. But in Release-Small mode the result is fast and more importantly really small since there's a 64kb cartridge limit.

Another factor is the Zig Standard Library which designed to be portable and usable on freestanding targets. I can not emphasize enough how pleasant this is. For example I can just use a `std.heap.FixedBufferAllocator` to back a `std.ArrayList` with no problem.

The comptime feature of Zig also comes in handy when you have to minimize code size.

The seamless C interop furthermore improves my productivity since I can just use any C code I like. I've used a C perlin noise library in a previous game for example, saving me a lot of time.

Plus I've used Zig for the previous WASM-4 jam and just liked it so I didn't bother trying any other language.
It was closer to six years if I crunch the numbers. It was the original iPhone SE. It was getting a little loose towards the end. But those models weren’t built quite as well as the 5S was. I had both.

I am pretty careful with my stuff. Going as far as to only putting my phone in my left pocket because there’s no metal rivet on that side of most jeans. I also probably only dropped the phone three or four times over that six year span. I don’t use the case, I’m just very careful. I won’t even pull it out if I feel I’m in a risky situation where I could drop it.

Even five years is a lot longer than any of my android phones lasted with daily use. I had the Motorola Droid, the HTC Thunderbolt, and the Samsung GS3, among others. I think you would be lucky to get 2 to 3 years out of those. I’m not sure what would go first, your OS support, or the cheaper hardware that they use in general. I had the best experience with Samsung in the Android market.

Big assumption that 4 years from now it can be done. Politically, you should do it when you can do it. When clinton failed to pass healthcare reform in 1992, we had to wait almost 20 years to pass the ACA.
Well explained, thank you.

When did "data binding" become "reactivity" (why the need to create a whole new lexicon for the same ol' thing)? A lot of this confusion (as per the OP) could have simply been explained away by saying we needed frameworks to bind HTML (visual components) to data. Two-way binding existed in many desktop frameworks before SPAs were even thought of.

Auto generated client code is nice in theory. In practice I find it only really useful as a starting point. There are enough choices to be made in writing even a simple HTTP api that its unlikely that a generic tool will generate useful code for a given application. This could include library usage (http client, serialization, logging, DI integration), async vs sync, logging requirements, tooling support for generated code. If you are in a language which has established std libraries and patterns this is less of a problem, but in something like Java that has evolved in all these areas over the years it can be a real problem.
Why is that insane? A CEO is just a job and how much you get paid depends on how much the industry is willing to pay you. So turning down 10mil to earn 3mil is indeed a sacrifice. Unless you have something against people making a lot of money or think once you hit some number you should not say anything bad about the pay. People don't get salaries because they earned or deserved them, they get them because that's what others are willing to pay for their work.
US military involvement in the Middle East is hardly a subsidy to the oil and gas companies that would be impacted by this Act. Most of the oil and gas companies in that region are state owned with Aramco being the largest by far. They aren't subject to US laws or taxes. And they don't even export much to the US. Hypothetically, if an armed conflict shut down Aramco production then US oil and gas companies would actually make more profit.

I do agree that allowing oil and gas companies to avoid paying the full costs of environmental damage is effectively a form of hidden subsidy.

It's even worse than that, nearly the entire difference cited is based on property taxes but they use a property for comparison that doesn't exist in California, but does in Texas. As a percentage of home value, property taxes /are/ higher in Texas, but home values are also massively lower (1/3rd or less) in almost all of the state, which means that /actual taxes paid/ for property tax are nearly identical to sometimes less in Texas, /and/ because housing is cheaper, it's more affordable to actually own a home instead of renting forever at lower income quintiles.

Anyone who actually looked at the data and concluded that living in California instead of Texas was a better financial deal for someone who is not a high income earner is either stupid or lying.
> I don't know that you can separate the "all knowledge" graph into 3 layers like this.

The 3 layers mentioned are just the basic structure of ontologies. Concepts eg “vehicle, person, desease, atom, bridge,…” then categories of the concepts, and finally data, ie instances.

Larger knowledge graphs don’t grow by adding more “layers” they add more content to all three layers.

Apple versus the Trademark Sleuths
Criminalization creates other problems:

1. addicts can't get predictable, reliable, pharmaceutical quality drugs. Street drugs aren't predictable, and cause overdoses because of that

2. addicts become criminals because of high street prices, leading to all sorts of associated crime

3. illegal drugs lead to massive profits for criminal organizations

4. people suffering from terrible diseases die in agony because painkillers that would work on their pain are illegal

5. people who suffer from chronic pain, which is not diagnosible, are forced to turn to street drugs

6. legalizing heroin is not going to tempt me to use it. Is it being illegal stopping you from using it?

7. being an addict is punishment enough. Why does anyone think punishing them further will improve matters?

8. consenting adults have a fundamental right to their own bodies. As the pandemic showed, our government is not very good at determining what drugs are best for people. It's more politics than science.

Yes. See § 463.5(b)(3)
I think people fundamentally disagree here. I would attribute the entire (read 100%) responsibility for the Rohingya Genocide or other similar events to the perpetrators. Facebook is just another tool, and its creators bear no more blame for the actions of their users in the real world than the manufactures of the vehicles driven by the Burmese military.

The delay in publishing a "proper" standard was due to the incredible success/usefulness of the defacto K&R standard. But as you point out that was hard to find outside of Unix. I suspect this was mostly due to the effort required to implement the full standard library and/or resource limitations on many systems.

For example, there was a Small-C compiler available for the Atari 800 in 1982:

http://www.atarimania.com/utility-atari-400-800-xl-xe-c-65_1...

"... based on the Small C compiler published in Dr. Dobb's Journal"

If you look in the beginning of the manual it has a list of what is and is not supported. They claim it is sufficient to compile C/65 itself but there are lots of things we take for granted missing.
iOS and Android are neck and neck in the US. There was a report about iOS passing Android just days ago, so they have similar market share. I can readily believe that at certain workplaces, almost everyone has an iPhone, but this isn't true generally.
Yeah, when I say that Facebook has a body count, I'm not kidding. Facebook touches people's lives in so many ways that it's hard to even estimate the total number. But it seems the barest ethical minimum to say, "Hey, is there a way to be sure this next feature is responsible for zero deaths?"
I actually have to disagree a little bit... The rise of static site generators have filled a void there of where you can have reuse but you don't need to head off into framework land. I do a lot of projects now (using SSGs) where most of the work is plain jane html/css/js
Why do you think JS frameworks can't be used to create accessible websites?
Again with this sentiment, you're not paying the CEO. "We" didn't decide that, the people with the 3M decided that person's services was worth that amount and it is their money to spend or waste as they see fit.
I'll pass it on to the team! The designers and product people put a ton of work into making both RB and Tunnelbear delightful, and I'm glad it's making a difference :)
Don't know if it's still the same, but I suspect it will be - another insidious part of the 3rd party consultant relationship is (was) that customers would hire one of the big 5 to help them evaluate and select ERP systems. And that consultancy would also be in a consortium with one of the suppliers (usually SAP), to do the implementation. Isn't that a conflict of interest you would ask? Oh no, the two parts of the consultancy are behind strict Chinese walls, and the evaluation was strictly independent of the bid team. But surprisingly, the vendor they were in bed with always won the contract.
As a sales rep with Oracle, I declined to bid on a project. I offered the CFO to write the name of the winning consortium in a sealed envelope, that he could open when the selection was announced.
Record profits won't matter when a company looks at a project and sees it will result in a loss. It's rare they will decide to subsidize that loss unless there is incentive.

No idea how the math works out. It may be that the subsidies may be totally excessive.

I'm skeptical the layman's perspective on this is actually accurate. The reasoning presented screams "arguments made in bad faith by activists" to me. Stuff that seems super reasonable but breaks apart once you understand in depth.
Not that it really matters at this point, but I wonder if Minecraft silently created public-by-default social media profiles before the acquisition.

Those are different disaster than tying the profiles to Microsoft accounts.
