> Only the super-rich in America feel wealthy. Everyone else is trapped in an unwinnable game of keeping up with the Jonses.

Tbh even the super-rich feel poor. If you own 10 million, you might have a social network in which there is a guy who owns 100. If you own 100 million, you might know a billionaire. And the billionaire might have met someone like Bezos or Musk. Usually the richer you get, the higher is the wealth differential you are exposed to. You might be proud of your 3 supercar collection, but a guy you know has a hangar full with 200 supercars.

You lost me at step 1. Punishing people because their families live in what some people deem "offshore" is heartless. Also, forget modern technology like smartphones if you only can do trade with "good" countries.
Is that not the point?

If the billionaires are net negative and worse than the value they provide, ie billionaires are harmful to society, it seems the easiest way to reduce inequality is just to have them leave.

That's win/win for everyone, they keep their money, you get a society without billionires.
Nothing I wrote is about private repostories.
The right statement is then that it is very hard to retrofit exceptions in an non-exception safe code base. Exception safety itself is not easy, as it requires different code patterns and idioms than usual.

I believe that those idioms are useful and great even for non-exceptional code, but that's another story.
Some human interaction is essential for your mental health, but not all human interaction is good for your mental health. Especially if it involves waiting in line before subjecting yourself to bureaucratic drudgery. If they can make those experiences smoother, I'm all for it.

Just to be aware if you're in the UK your recycling does get recycled so you should definitely take advantage of splitting your trash into recycling bins, in my council they recycle 60% (not buried or burned).

The rest is correct though and it will most likely be down-cycled, my personal strategy I have been using without going crazy is:

- Home Compost bin (this gets rid of 90% of my waste and makes the next steps less gross)
- split remaining waste according to my recycling program: cardboard, metals, glass, plastics, paper, e-waste
- cardboard/paper about half goes into compost, rest should biodegrade so vaguely ignore and hope for the best
- End of each week look at what it going into recycling (dog food containers, salad bags, sauce containers etc.) and try to find a zero-waste alternative or tell the company you are considering moving and if they have any plans to improve their packaging infrastructure

Support policy change, if we can tax plastics (or any material) at the right level to include its waste and energy cost there are plenty of businesses waiting to be economically viable such as; collecting e-waste/batteries and retrieving gold, copper, lithium. Bioplastics for wrapping food, sauce packets.

I am not an expert in this area, so would love other people to correct any mistakes, it's really hard to go zero-waste or think about the right way to solve this problem without getting overwhelmed.
That's the thing I don't get. Most of those budgets should go to people. Rocks and bricks and concrete don't teach people, people teach people :-)

Similar story for medical staff.
It's only very difficult within the constraints of western capitalist democracies.

China has seen how Capitalists have overrun government and have moved to quickly re-educate anyone that steps out of line.

I'm not advocating this, I'm just saying...

Corporations and the wealthy play games and have more resources than our tax departments, and so have found strategies to win that are not available to people who earn an income and work for a living.
As a reaction to this, the super-rich will just implement offshore strategies to move their operations to tax-friendly jurisdictions.
Both Ellison's and Wang's plea agreements contain the same unmodified provision from the US Attorney's Office requiring them to agree to surrender their travel documents as a condition of bail in exchange for the US Attorney promise not to object to their release on bail.
I noticed you are using pbkdf2 to convert password to key. It's recommended to use ARGON2 nowadays.

From some googling, pbkdf2 increases CPU usage to make brute force harder, scrypt increases memory usage to make brute force harder. ARGON2 increases CPU and RAM usage to make brute force harder.

There are other advantages as well, and it is considered the best key derivation function right now.
From a technical perspective that would make sense, but it's unrealistic to achieve this in practice. It would be impossible for the entire market to support that. In order to maintain the artistic intent across different platforms, it's better to imprint it in the source. I guess lots of directors and DPs are frustrated enough with motion smoothing and other "enhancements" on modern TVs.
I had the pleasure of being taught mathematics by the creator of Inform, Graham Nelson, at Oxford (and Oxford class sizes are _small_, 2-5 students). He’s a super interesting guy - created Inform, teaches pure mathematics at the highest level, but seems to most enjoy writing poetry.
> Some build system patches + Clang's static analyzer + codechecker seems to be the most promising combination since that would not only be able to cross translation unit analysis, but also be able to do differential reporting so only new reports are visible, but I still need to figure out all of the details. Also, I suspect the end result will be far less useful in practice than it sounds because of just how long the analysis takes. We would need a way to do incremental analysis like we can do incremental builds for it to be truly useful, and I currently do not have an answer for incremental analysis, although I suspect maybe something could be done in CodeChecker based on filesystem time stamps.

I use CodeChecker with ClangSA, CTU enabled and with Z3 for refutation. The
code base is smaller so incremental checking is less a concern to me.

Still, we had a look. CC allows taking a list of files, and updating those
files analysis only while keeping the existing results for other non listed
files.

But unless something has changed this partial analysis just do what it's
told, analyzing only the files given on the CLI. With CTU this may miss
side effects: a modified file may impact other files using its function for
example. It's possible to use CC own CTU info to derive these dependencies
and extend the list of files.

Then there are modified header files, with the usual inclusion
dependencies.

So if it's not provided "out of the box", it should be possible to have a
layer on top taking a list of changed files, extending it with both CTU and
header dependencies, and passing the extended list to CC for a safe update.
They mention rustup on the 3rd slide.
Nice, I love the simplicity of use
Could you point me towards a project where this is the case? I want to try it out as I never found Rust slow to compile.
This is actually why this whole topic is overblown. The AI can manipulate text, ergo it can replace programmer's because they can only manipulate text.

It won't replace a janitor because it has no hands but then again, if the model's only claim to replacing programmers is that it produces text, then the article is pretty weak.

Yes, one of the things that really captures the feeling for me is that when I take off the headset I often have this feeling of surprise, finding myself in my livingroom. It's really that immersive if you put aside the cartoony looks and just focus on collaboration. Especially if that involves company products because it's really easy to import 3D models of those into the various meeting software. It's really nice to hold a product in your hand while talking about it.

It's just so hard to explain this to people. They really have to try it. Also, it's not something you'd replace a night out with your friends with. Not at all. Meeting up in person is always much better. However when that's not an option or it's difficult due to international travel or other reasons, then I think it's much better than a videomeeting.

One of the nice things I liked about OS X when I moved from Windows/Ubuntu around 2010 was the clear but playful naming of apps and utilities. They seemed to have presence. The large and beautiful high resolution icons helped too.

In Windows Disk Management was hidden away and searching for it would return a nebulous list with long winded descriptions but never name Disk Management forcing me to carefully read each result. For search to actually return Disk Management (or any utility for that matter) you have to type the entire name.

In OS X (and now in MacOS but with far fewer utilities these days) apps like Disk Utility have a personality and are easily searched for. Typing ‘du’ in Spotlight is all you need. Windows 10 fixes a lot of this with Super X (or right clicking on Start) but it still lacks that personality.

MacOS is losing a lot of its personality these days unfortunately. In a hurry I often confuse the app icons for Finder, Safari and Mail because they’re all similar white and blue squares.

I also love how the name Finder throws shade at Explorer.
Russia was provoked into attacking the Ukraine by the CIA's long history of meddling in that country.

Environmentalist special interest groups in the United States want to make fossil fuels as expensive as possible. They are achieving this by using the war as an excuse to impose sanctions on Russian oil and natural gas exports.
We tax property without realizing a gain. We even tax bonds on deferred interest (eg zero coupon bonds). We can and should do this for stocks. The ultra-rich already borrow money to avoid realizing gains (and thus paying taxes). If they want to keep their stocks let them borrow to pay their tax bills.
Interesting! Do you have sources for that?
China ‘behind the curve’ in reporting Covid surge, WHO says
I mean... you could start by taxing realized capital gains at >20%

It's hard for me to give an argument like "this is difficult" credence when we already have a capital gains tax that's lower than most income taxes. I will buy this is difficult when you raise that number to 50% and we still have the same issues.
No way!? A spinning offset mass rotating at tends of thousands of RPMs is dangerous to have in your average consumer car? Who could have thought?
Why should wealth be taxed? It already has been and it is immaterial until it is realized. At that point the profits are taxed.

Lots of income may not make you wealthy but it lets you live a rich lifestyle. Move somewhere cheaper if you aren’t meeting your savings goals.

> Another part is the job market, both employer and employee side. As long as only reasonably qualified people apply and companies accept reasonably qualified people having multiple rounds of interviews is just a waste of everyones time.

Right but that doesn't happen. People throw their resume at any company without a second thought, and then outright lie on it.

We have a rule that we only ask questions about stuff they write on resume or submit in questionnaire (that is basically "here are few things, judge in 1-5 scale how much you know them) and still some people say they are expert and fail basic non-curveball questions or topics.

Apple Pulls iOS 16.2 Option to Upgrade to New Home Architecture
Yes, this is a great extension idea.

If you make a model like this, for different parameters of speculation vs. value creation you can then test what the most socially beneficial rates of tax are.

More tax will lead to smaller but more equal economies and laissez-faire shouldn’t be optimal.

I would just want the model to acknowledge the non-speculation part, because many of the things I buy are from spectacularly rich companies, but that are genuinely useful to me.
Judge pauses SEC case in alleged NJ deli stock fraud in favor of criminal probe
The rich don't buy much stuff relatively to their wealth.

When you're a billionaire all of life's basics are effectively free. And there are only so many houses, private jets, and super yachts you can buy.

In any case your first, second, third, and fourth home will be owned by a corporation based in the Cayman Islands and buried under an opaque list of shell companies, all of which you also own via cut-outs, one or two of which may be actual registered and regulated banks, which mortgage the properties back to you so you can play games with interest rate arbitrage.

And all of this will be handled by a small personal mini-corporation employing tens of tax experts, lawyers, creative accountants, and investment managers, so you probably aren't even interested in the details.
It does not demonstrate that at all. It assumes everyone, rich and poor, is exactly equal at allocating capital because they all have a flat 50% chance to make money on every investment.

In reality some poor people are savvy investors and become rich and some rich people are foolish investors and become poor.

> I am guessing this let's you set coordinates for how to lay the canvas out but this is exactly why I'd never use it.

You wouldn't like a text editor that automatically rearranges source code or sections of a document without you having a say in it, and for the same reason I find manual layout for this graph feature absolutely necessary. And beside that it's very likely you'd want some other metadata that just have no place in standard Markdown. Maybe a viable alternative would have been generating graphviz dot code and embedding it in Markdown code blocks, which would make it compatible with other tools as well - that could still be added via plugins.
And? Sorry but musk sold robot-taxi by 2020 and cheaper trucking by 2019. And precommands.

I don't see any differences between the two. I admit I did look at thunderfoot's videos on musk and was convinced since 2019 he was a small conman. I don't understand how Holmes is any different.
This was fun, I like the mix and it doesn't get too grindy. I found it challenging swapping between the two, but that's part of it.

Something is wrong here, 500M for 45K people means ~850 euros per month per employee which is less than German minimum wage (1584 eur per month). Plain mistake.

$100K per year per employee in NYC sounds about right: around half are probably salaries plus payroll tax on them, resulting in just-over-poverty wage for low level employees and barely-middle-class for the higher ups; and the other half for supplies, building maintenance, etc.

Absolutely. Even after "compressing" my code as much as possible, it looks as if 2/3 of a Go program is pure error handling and no business logic. I just don't understand this militant objection toward exceptions now. Even back in the days of slower virtual machines and crappier hardware, we were fine, and now it's code red! Get rid of exceptions! Performance!

This is in an era of tech where everyone is building BAD distributed systems, with non-optimized databases, a fur ball of slow HTTP queries, and giant payloads. Exceptions are the least of your concerns.

I have never found this to be the case as long as you are using workspaces to split up the compilation units.
I know this probably won't be used too much but I'd love the concept of pay once links that become public once anybody has paid for them. It mirrors the way I think copyright should work.

Or pay sum that become public once the sum of payments from everybody reaches given value.
> mankind has demonstrated through thousands of years of history that tribes of men can't really cooperate in any grand sense

I'd argue the fact that humans can live in reasonably stable polities of more than a billion people proves, and in an economic space of practically the entire planet (globalisation!) proves we absolutely can cooperate at grand, epic scales.Whether or not that means Kropotkin is right is another thing, but we're built for cooperation.
Everything you can grab from a silent push in those months when you don't check in but still have the app installed out of convenience. In other words: not much, but something (e.g. the company can know that the app is still installed).

I wouldn't go to lengths avoiding installation (just remember to uninstall if it really bothers you), but I'd prefer a purely web based implementation. How about clearing arbitrary NFC UID for access? (From a self-serve counter if taking humans out of the equation is so much of a goal) The credit card form factor is certainly not inconvenient at all, but dealing with them can still be surprisingly annoying when that happens to coincide with oddities from the very long tail of luggage situations.
That's how it works in France, too. But my point is that maybe this could be changed to be more in tune with income taxes. In France, however, they have instituted a "flat tax" at 30% on capital gains. Before, it was taxed as income after an abatement.

So changes can be made, they just did it the wrong way.
I'd say one reason. It's an absolute nightmare for the regular end user to handle relational data in a spreadsheet. I've tried a lot of those below (you missed of AppSheet from Google which kinda falls into this bracket too).

I regularly work with intelligent people (who aren't techies) who by themselves figure out their project needs to be relational all by themselves (knowing nothing about SQL).

I think, and I guess these companies do, that there must be a market for those millions of people who want to manage a few thousand rows of project data but are never going to learn SQL + web development to put a UI on it, but are struggling to keep their data managed "logically" and easily.
I should have clarified - I don't propose to "ban" half the planet because they the not optimal with their laws or prosecution.

City Journal is a conservative outlet, and possibly neocon.

I'm wondering if NMSC or College Board (conducts PSAT/NMSQT) notified students directly, would school admins kick NMSC out? I doubt they would be able to resist the leverage if parents went political.

There have already been explicitly racist tests including the NASP from 1964 until 2015.

More racism, cheating, and lying doesn't cure racism, it diminishes faith in public school system and gives ammunition to the pro-private school libertarian types who scapegoat "big gubberment" and don't want to pay any taxes. For what it's worth, California played cute with curricula, race-based admissions, and forced bussing in the 80's and 90's and most of the top students (the rich ones) left for private schools.

I'd be interested to know the demographics of children of that county and of the surrounding areas because I don't think they're 72% Asian or 60% male. Gender is not necessarily a problem given how the current education system fails boys and men. Are the students mostly future lawyers, doctors, and software engineers?
I wonder how much better the code generated by a modern compiler for the generic fallback function is compared to this hand-written assembly. We've come a long way with compiler optimizations after all.
So we get to pay 40%+ tax on our income on a yearly basis while they get to pay a mystery amount that may or may not be factored into debt costs that can also be deferred for a while? Yeah that sounds fair.
> when some good logic is applied to naming, human names are too in order, with the alphabetic order, so that at any time you could know what you are talking about

That's just like, your opinion.

Even operating systems that try to follow that idea are not fully able to do it.

For example, Ubuntu has been using alphabetically ordered names ever since version 5.10, which was released in October 2005.

But sooner or later they have to wrap. And they already did that once.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames

So now, for someone on the outside who tries to apply this idea that names should encode release order, we still can't tell, which of the following was released first:

- Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat

or

- Ubuntu Lunar Lobster

Well, if all we know about Ubuntu is that the names are alphabetically sorted then we might think that Lunar Lobster came before Maverick Meerkat. But Ubuntu Lunar Lobster is the upcoming version 23.04. Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat was version 10.10, released all the way back in October 2010.

And so my point is, if you want to compare version release dates. Just look at the version numbers.

It is not sensible to claim that somehow the names have to be in alphabetical order.

Do you use alphabetical order for the hostnames of your computers?

Do you name your children in alphabetical order?

Maybe you do. But not everyone will, and that's perfectly fine.
Probably some combination of:

* Lots of places don’t care if their garage is an unclean space.

* Places that do care will hire cleaning staff that are probably cheaper.

* Liability concerns for having something semi-autonomous roaming around peoples’ expensive vehicles.
It was a more thorny discussion I didn't feel like I was interested exploring.
