CS: Go: From Zero to 0-Day
I honestly would just rather have an increased GST/VAT/SalesTax across the board, worldwide.

It scales with expenditure, so it taxes luxury.

It arguably hits income disparity more widely than a 'robot tax' or other 'automation tax' would.

It is avoidable (I can choose not to buy something with GST, but I get less choice over income tax)

It's more shelf stable - Out of the box it scales, has precedent and needs little (relative) maintenance, perhaps just a 2.5% +/- adjustment every few years/decade.

It (contentious claim) could be less gameable/evadable/avoidable quite as easily as other taxes can (although of course it is hugely gamed by pushing purchases through businesses, but you could argue that it's better than income tax being avoided in the standard ways)

You don't need to worry about brackets.

(Also, I want this to be complemented by international cooperation on MASSIVE taxation on companies with >$xxx,xxx,xxx profit, taxation on capital, etc.)
To quote a certain Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi on the matter of stray dogs:

> It is a sin, it should be a sin, to feed stray dogs, and we should save numerous dogs if we had legislation making every stray dog liable to be shot. Even if those who feed stray dogs consented to pay a penalty for their misdirected compassion we should be free from the curse of stray dogs.

> Humanity is a noble attribute of the soul. It is not exhausted with saving a few fish or a few dogs. Such saving may even be sinful. If I have a swarm of ants in my house, the man who proceeds to feed them will be guilty of a sin. For God has provided their grain for the ants, but the man who feeds them might destroy me and my family. The mahajan may feel itself safe and believe that it has saved their lives by dumping dogs near my field, but it will have committed the greater sin of putting my life in danger.

Stray dogs are a public health hazard. There were more than 2 million cases of street dog bites in 2022 in India. Tens of thousands of people catch rabies from dog bites every year. The dog lovers from the privileged strata of society prevent the authorities from doing anything to actually solve the problem. The brunt of the pain is borne by the poor and defenseless.
Is that really what we want? Do we want a company to rather employee a lot of cheap workers to e.g. produce clothing, rather than have robots doing it?

The only problem is of course the distribution of profits and wealth in the society. _That_ is the problem to tackle.
This is a good way to frame it. The stock market going to zero means everybody has stopped valuing companies, and presumably the companies themselves are not creating value anyone can buy into.

That puts us back to pre-industrial planet. Is that going to happen in this generation? I wouldn't worry too much about the stock market disappearing and taking all your money with it then.

Diversifying mainly means not putting all your wealth into one industry. It doesn't mean "Don't rely on stocks" or whatever.

If you only have one ship and it goes down, you go down with the ship. If you have a fleet, you can stay afloat. If you manage your fleet like a battalion, you just might win the battle. Ships won't suddenly cease to exist.

No, this is ridicoulus. The browser does not execute a jpeg. It displays it.

The reason malwares worked was insecure automatic execution in IE. You do NOT need https for the browser to type check and securely sandbox downloaded data.

MITM is not the problem, because if I can send a malware from my https server you still have the problem, all https does is waste a ton of electricity for your job (in)security.

If your browser requests a jpeg an my https server returns a exe that the browser saves and the user is foolish enough to execute it, that is not a http problem.

Stop using your monopoly to force waste.

[1] https://ycharts.com/indicators/ethereum_chain_full_sync_data...

Ethereum [1] routinely accumulates around 300G per year and routinely hits over one terabyte of data to sync. Remember, this is the size of the data to sync/transmit, not size of the data that is stored, which we may safely assume to be several times more, because of indices, etc.

Also, your proposal makes two tier database system: one that maintains current consistent view of the state and another for log purposes. The logging system needs high throughput storage with key range read request, which makes it, well, another pretty much fully fledged database (SELECT...GROUP BY...ORDER BY is needed).

The reason nobody does what you described because it is really prohibitive in storage space aspect and really is quite complex - a database on top of another database.
After I passed a course and read other books on Algorithms, what really clicked Algorithms for me was this little known book: A Common Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms by Jay Wengrow. This is what made Algorithms and Data Structures make sense to me.

Yes, it would definitely be easier to advocate for good public policy around automation while experiencing the benefits of automation. Everyone else should enjoy the benefits of automation too, and even be more free to effectively advocate for public policy of their choosing as a result.

Not 60, but trying to somewhat predict where I will be at that time... As a non-native English speaker I used to say:

20 years ago I knew that if I wanted to have a great career today, I had to learn English.
Today, if I want to have a great career 20 years from now, I should learn Chinese.

(since then I left the telco bubble, maybe other parts of the tech industry are not that Chinese-heavy)

Ask HN: I Need a Software Contracts Lawyer
I'm building a software business. I need legal help drafting a standard contract for clients.

I tried in my local area, but unfortunately, the only lawyer I could find that was capable of what I need was not a good fit.

My business model is excellent support and some limited liability for my software. I intend to trailblaze a path toward professional liability in our industry.

If you know of a lawyer, please comment with their name, but only if they are taking new clients and there is a good chance they would be interested in the work.

If you are such a lawyer and are interested in the work, please contact me at <my_first_name>@<business_site_in_my_profile>.

Bonus points for lawyers used to working in FOSS because I've got some licenses that need professional revision. [1] However, I'm willing to use a separate lawyer for that work.

I agree with you on that there is no clear definition or discussion about "meaning" itself. But I don't agree with the idea that meaning == feeling. It sounds to me that if I apply that definition to how I live my life it'd only leads to a hedonistic one that only pursues momentary satisfaction of my feelings.

Nope. As we don't tax laundry machines or dish washers.

that's simply how civile law, the most popular legal system in the World, works: the trial establishes if the company harmed people and decides if the decision makers are to be punished or not.

Nothing hard about it.

OTOH the way corporate law is applied today is neither fair or applied equally and it mostly harms people and benefit corporations, I don't see a problem if we reverse the outcome

less corporations that operate on higher ethical standards sounds like a win-win to me

This isn't a good argument for adopting new technology when the new contender offers nothing of note over the old and the all but unmaintained, broken in fundamental ways option continues to work the way it did a decade or two ago.

It's his playground, it's free, and he can do what he likes with it but if people are using X11 its probably not because they hadn't heard such rants before its because people know their own needs better than the distro developer.
We don't just want economic growth, we want livable communities too. My worry with the above model is it puts a huge economic group at the whim of the welfare system by default, as we are saying that they shouldn't expect to be able to work. That's a huge change, and would rely on a level of fairness from goverment that I have never seen before.

I am pro welfare, pro UBI even, but I think it's a dangerous spot to put our communities in as automation is privatised, and we are relying on it to pay the taxes that pay for the public welfare. Ignoring the farce that is current corporate taxation and assuming again, a level of fairness not seen from corporations either.
1blocker can do that for now.

This will never work, fundamentally any computer is unable to solve certain types of problems. They run into several different core computer science problems when you try to have them do this.

There is the halting problem and the decidability problems. You can approximate certain things using a perceptron/neuron floating point configuration, but they are only approximates; and do nothing towards addressing either of those problems.

This is why the centralization of all social interaction on a few big platforms is a cause for concern. Some of the blame lies with people too; ideally, companies such as Adafruit would simply run a Discourse instance (or another forum software), and have users communicate there and receive web push notifications, and so on, instead of just using a large social platform.

As for Facebook, there are no disincentives for over-moderation. After all, it is better to over-censor and avoid attracting negative news coverage, the attention of legislators, and negative sentiments among people.

>But the thing is, you don't write C programs in Rust and you don't generally use doubly linked lists.

The usefulness of linked lists is entirely beside the point. They just serve as an example for situations where additional restrictions can cause a program to be longer or more difficult to understand.

>It really depends on what those 10 tokens are doing. If I have a token that creates a new universe, seeds it with life, and creates the conditions for life to develop an optimal linked list - it might solve the problem in one step, but our atomic unit here is absolutely massive.

This example shows why I think that your claims lack a definition of complexity. You're now saying that the output of a program determines its complexity. I don't think that's a useful measure of complexity because it doesn't allow us to compare the complexity of two programs that produce the same output.

Yeah the APS-C cameras definitely has better sensors (even accounting for the better highlight falloff from the older CCD sensors), but personally the appeal of digicams is to replace my small pocket film cameras, so those are just slightly too big. (I do still have an original x100 kicking around too.)

How do we even define a robot for tax purposes?

Is a CNC machine a robot? A 3d printer? An injection moulder with pid control, a cnc box folder, a printer? a coffee machine?

All of these can be considered "computer controlled machines that can displace human jobs".

If the definition of "robot" includes "controlled by a computer" it would be hilarious to see a return to non-computer controls (eg analog, clockwork, punch cards) for tax reasons.

How to make a 3D renderer in Desmos
Last mile service providers were forced to serve traffic generated from any legitimate website.

Any traffic induces load on their systems/infrastructure and happens disproportionately based on the service being consumed (e.g. Netflix early days, instagram).

So the economic fight of Net Neutrality was based on bandwith-intensive services not paying for transit proportionate to their traffic volume (driven by consumers), and the maintenance cost being borne by the last-mile providers. Allegedly.

The problem comes from the fact that last-mile providers are monopolies in just about every place in the USA, meaning that they can already charge whatever they want to the consumer for the bandwidth _they_ consume. ISPs shouldn't be allowed to charge both directions for the single link they own going to buildings. And we don't want every building to have thousands of wires going to it for every new telecommunication company in existance, which is why we have Title II of the Communications Act.

By repealing net neutrality it allows last-mile providers (largely owned by major national media corporations) to unfairly compete against new technologies and media companies in the marketplace who's growth was fueled largely in part by requiring equal access to bandwidth.
Because it can become hard to pick a different brand since there really aren't any choices at all: it's a monopoly.
Because they will start to have a monopoly and consumer choice will be so little, that you can’t avoid them.
I assume that's what he meant.

A lot. I expect it to take 5-10 hours, and I expect to pay about $500 an hour. So $2500-5000.

But I already have a contract drafted, with footnotes explaining my thought process, details about what must be kept and what can be tweaked, etc.

This is supposed to make it so the lawyer needs little time to understand my intention and draft the real thing based on pre-existing templates.

Basically, I did hours of work upfront to save hours of lawyer time.
Rust has ARC too so I very much doubt it.
The CEO will pay attention to problems that cost them money.

True, but only when the cost is greater than the profit from doing whatever it is you don't want the business to do. From example, if paying a bill late comes with a 20% premium, but not paying it increases profit by 21%, then it's better to pay late.

In the system of modern business it's really hard to see why things happen, so simple rules very rarely work. People are hugely creative when it comes to dreaming up ways around them.

That “large language models” are unfortunately named becomes clearer when they’re applied to non-language domains. They’re auto-associative models that learn mappings between discrete elements in a sequence or set.
The data that the models are built from comes from the public. It'll be a long fight if Big Tech decides that the public's data, however referenced in whatever model, is no longer the public's.

They're fully welcome to keep proprietary the data that is already proprietary. But so far, that's not been their source.
