This is changing the rules after the game has started.

The point is that a windfall is also - by definition - a favourable change in the rules after the game has started.

The moral question here should be a simple one. Did the investors in the banks know (or at least reasonably expect) that they would make these profits when they decided to make their investment? If they didn't and they invested anyway then there's a reasonable argument for a windfall tax as long as it only claws back gains they had no reasonable expectation of making and did nothing useful to earn.

The problem with laissez faire economic allocation has been timescales.

It's an extremely efficient allocator... on a certain timescale, itself determined by the market.

It's an incompetent allocation on different timescales, typically when you get into the 5+ year range.

The ideal blend is when capability is centrally planned, but implementation and tactical scale is market-demanded.
if you were talking about a meter long segment of pure LK99 you'd have a point. But the pieces in question are so small that even if the LK99 were just copper their resistance would be so low that experimental error in a casual test would be substantial compared to the resistance.

Measuring the resistance would also be frustrated by the superconductive material being scattered in the mass separated by highly resistive impurities, making it easy to get a false negative.

> Remote attestation does restrict your device from doing anything. A new attestation API can be made if you want to offer remote attestation to apps.

I guess you wanted to write "does not" here, but it's the opposite - it obviously restricts the new device from being practically useful, but what's important is that this is done not because the device has no capability to run those apps, but because it was not "whitelisted" by the app vendor, so a technically superior device might fail on the market just because of current players artificially blocking it.

This is an anticompetitive practice, where you need to get "permission" to be able to run the app. And no matter how "fair" that sounds theoretically, practically this should (and hopefully will) be a subject of some antitrust ligitation.

I've been building in, and watching, this space for 5+ years. It's incredibly difficult for several reasons:

1. Business model - people won't want to pay more than a few bucks a month (think Dropbox/G Drive) for this service. But unlike those, this service is much smaller TAM and much more litigious

2. Company structure - How can you ensure people's belongings will be in good hands forever, or at least a really long time. C Corp? Non-profit? What happens if your company dies?

3. Technical decisions - How can you ensure you've picked a provider that will last as long as your company?

This was one of the few interesting use cases of crypto, since it partially fixes each of these problems, but then you are back at square 1 when you realize mass market doesn't want to rely on crypto backed tech or business model.

TBD on how this problem will be solved, but I'm highly interested in it and quit my job years ago to pursue a version of digital time-capsules. It's just not a straightforward SaaS once you get into the weeds.

They now have Xilinx's AI cores since they merged (acquired?). https://www.xilinx.com/products/technology/ai-engine.html seems to be a high-level overview. I think their latest APUs for laptops have this IP integrated.

And they're blurring the line by adding more AI-focused acceleration instructions to their GPUs (maybe focused on their CDNA line rather than the consumer RDNA, but they're expanding their capabilities on both).

There seems to be a bit of a philosophy difference between NVidia and AMD acceleration - NVidia add new specialised "cores", while AMD adds those similar capabilities as accelerated instructions to their shader units.

Though this might just be marketing - I don't think we've got an open reference for the NVidia shader ISA like we do with AMD so difficult to compare, but the capabilities and integration in shaders of many of these acceleration paths seems to imply they might also be implemented as shader instructions, which stretches the definition of a separate "core" to me, and so might just be a marketing difference rather than anything technical. Same with things like the BVH acceleration used in ray tracing - AMD added shader instructions, while NVidia talks loudly about "RT Cores".

Have you written a lot of things in Python? I remember coming "back" to Typescript and C# from Python and how much of a slog it felt. Last year I did quite a lot of work in Rust and I personally found it to be one of the worst languages I've ever worked with in terms of actually writing it.

I even like Rust, a lot. I really love things like how you actively need to make things mutable. I wish that was a standard feature in any language I work with. But it's just so verbose.

Companies made ad-hoc profits on pretending it's the inflation and raising the prices while having rising profits. I have zero problems with ad-hoc tax on that.

Frankly I think taxing some part of revenue instead of just income on big companies would be beneficial, no more "investing" in making market harder to newcomers (or outright buying them out) and getting tax cut on that.
I think there's an ideological bias in our culture that pushes people to believe that intelligent or structured phenomenon inevitably emerge organically and progressively from complex phenomena.

Teleological thinking -- a kind of imagining of purpose and cause from chaotic/natural events and entities -- riddles popular thinking, especially from people in our profession. Science fiction is especially full of it.

It's not just restricted to this domain at all. IMHO similar bias underlies thinking around economics and the magical hand of the free market economy.

Its also a bias evident in the way some people talk about nature, gardening, etc. E.g. permaculture / natural farming people show it all the time.

People think it's about checking for ad block because protecting ad revenue is the very first concern the proposal addresses. The obvious path is that Chrome implements WEI and disallows ad blocking, and then Google gradually starts pushing websites to favor approved browsers that don't allow ad blocking. Perhaps they pay out a bit extra for "authenticated" ad impressions made using an approved browser. Or they could start suspending AdSense accounts for "invalid traffic" (https://blog.google/products/ads-commerce/understanding-acco...) because a high percentage of visits have no WEI token or a token from an "unrecognized" browser. I'm sure you can imagine Google doing something like that: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

EFF clearly explains why the holdback mechanism doesn't make sense, and why the proposal authors' personal beliefs are not relevant. What matters is what capabilities this technology allows, and what Google's corporate motivations are.
It's true, but every developed country is also in late stage capitalism. Many appear to be trying to trend away from predictable path of aggregating all of the wealth in a few hands -- or at least, trying to ensure that the poorest aren't desperate enough to google plans for guillotines. They're having mixed success, and it may be that late-stage capitalism will come for them regardless.

But the US appears to be going full steam ahead. It's something about our culture. There are so many factors that it's hard to frame it in a few sentences. It does feel as if we bought into "capitalism" extra hard, which made us super-wealthy, but also a belief that anybody who isn't wealthy (or trying to be) is mentally and morally deficient. And it dovetails with a longstanding xenophobia, that anybody sufficiently different must be oppressed.

All of these properties exist elsewhere. America just seems to do them harder than anybody else, and that's creating a lot of suffering. And we refuse to change anything about it, because we never feel rich enough.

I'm not sure why people think higher interest rates reduce inflation by removing money from the economy.

Main reason high interest rates reduce inflation is that they disincentivise taking new loans and each new loan take is new money printed. So higher interest rates is just putting breaks on money printing.
The issue that government has is that if they’re too harsh the companies move a lot of employment/operations out of their country.
> These companies deliver products for Amazon.

Amazon is essentially claiming this is not the case. These are independent companies that delivery for anyone.

If Amazon were to directly run the firms, then they would be Amazon employees, which is what they're attempting to avoid.

Of course, you may notice these companies only ever deliver for Amazon, use Amazon software, etc. There is a lot of pretend going on.

I checked the city of Córdoba in Argentina [1] to pick something outside the well-known ones (and even then, it's the second or third biggest city in the country). The results are not good:

* Opening picture: Not an accurate representation of Córdoba, it's way too hilly. Also, there's a fluffy abomination of nature on the right.

* "Land of Tango Thrills and Siesta Chills": this is so stereotypical as to be almost offensive. I met exactly one person who knows how to dance tango in about 10 years.

* "Stretch those paws in Cordoba, a purr-fect playground for curious cats seeking whisker-tingling adventures!": this is completely information free.

* According to TravelSafe [2] there's a medium risk of muggings and high risk of pickpockets so I would not recommend "lounging in sunbathed plazas" as a tourist unless you know which ones are safe.

* Off the beaten path: "Feria de Mataderos" is in Buenos Aires, 700km away, and I challenge you to look at the Google Maps pictures of "El Bosquecito" and tell me it's a good place for tourists. Also, which "El Bosquecito" in Google Maps is the correct one? Because there are several.

* "Get lost in the maze-like streets of the Old Town": that's Prague you are thinking of. The streets in the old part of Córdoba are almost perfectly square.

* "Taste the city's typical dish: locro": Yeah, no. There is locro to be found, but it's not Córdoba's typical dish.

* Lightning round question: why is Córdoba "LGBTQ friendly" while Río Cuarto (same Province, 200k South) is "LGBTQ tolerated"?

And since we are in Argentina, the pictures for Posadas [3] and Resistencia [4] are offensively wrong. The description for Corrientes [5] (whose content and picture are not any better, including a "mainstream attraction" that's 300km away and in a different Province) reads "Where the Tango Comes Alive". Seeing a pattern yet?

This is to me a cautionary tale of the type of bad content that AI will generate (or, realistically, is already generating). I give it points for having a "generated with AI" sign, but I'm not looking forward to even more content claiming that everyone in Argentina dances tango with their pet cows.

If you have surprise ad-hoc taxes (i.e. laws) they you no longer have the rule of law. In this case it is almost an ex-post facto law as the tax applies to earnings that occurred before the tax existed.

Surprise laws should bother you on general principles.

Tax unpredictability, high taxes, or capping profitability is a great way to scare off businesses from operating in your jurisdiction.

Dude, they all suck. I wish they would stop shipping or accepting shipments that are in retail boxes or obviously improperly packed.

I get heavy packages that are blown open and missing half the contents constantly. They throw it on the porch and run.

Amazon has caused the market to shift this way with their cheap ass practics and skewed incentives and garbage customer service.

> This falls under Fair Use (not sure about the exact term) under GDPR, as is a sensible way for the bank to uphold their legal obligations.

The term you're likely looking for is "Legitimate Interest", but that's not quite the same. You're looking for the bigger picture.

Full disclosure: I was the DPO of a gambling company and had to interpret the cross-regulation conflicts quite routinely. One of the big things with GDPR is that it can not overrule industry or domain-specific regulations. It will certainly influence how the data may be accessed, but as far as internal collection and storage goes, GDPR changes nothing material in finance.

Banks and trading shops are required to record and store all work-related communications. No exceptions, no excuses. The reasons are as you stated. To prove (or disprove) cases of insider trading, collusion, price fixing, front running, and all the other forms of fraud/abuse that would allow the financial outfits and/or their traders to break the rules and fleece their customers and/or counterparties. (They still manage, but at least it's not as blatant.)

The main impact of GDPR is that the financial industry has one additional reason to purge old records once the statute of limitations has expired.

Weird argument but okay, then increase tax past say 100k/employed person in company of revenue.

Or tax on revenue once company becomes big enough. Taxing on income made sense to make investing into expansion a good thing, but those companies clearly don't need to be bigger, it seems to just make stuff worse and worse.
