The "nearly powerless" refers to blocking the bill being the only thing the parliament is able to do. The commission can just keep proposing this bill, it only needs to pass the parliament once. Once passed, future parliaments are unable to amend or repeal the bill. The commission only has to win once, while the parliament has to block the bill every single time.

“CRISPR-based genome editing tools developed by MIT professor and McGovern investigator Feng Zhang, Abudayyeh, Gootenberg, and others have changed the way scientists modify DNA, accelerating research and enabling the development of many experimental gene therapies.”

“Others” being Nobel laureates Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuel Charpatier - MIT and the Broad have long sought to minimize the work of these two women in the media for their own gain. Here again, a small but glaring example of their pettiness.
Posted the whole report earlier today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37981730

It is actually an interesting report. here's a TL;DR:

- The objectives and scope of the report: The report aims to address the questions of global tax evasion and the effects of recent policies, using new data and research conducted by the EU Tax Observatory and its partners. The report focuses on the issues of international tax evasion and competition by multinational companies and wealthy individuals, and their consequences for government revenue, inequality, and globalization.

- The main findings of the report: The report establishes six new findings on the dynamic of global tax evasion and international tax competition, such as the reduction of offshore tax evasion by wealthy individuals, the persistence of profit shifting by multinationals, the weakening of the global minimum tax, the emergence of new forms of tax competition, the low effective tax rates of billionaires, and the revenue potential of a global minimum tax on billionaires.

- The recommendations of the report: The report makes six recommendations to address the issues identified in the report, such as reforming the global minimum corporate tax, introducing a new global minimum tax for billionaires, taxing wealthy emigrants, implementing unilateral measures to collect tax deficits, creating a global asset registry, and strengthening anti-abuse rules.

- The role and vision of the EU Tax Observatory: The EU Tax Observatory is a research laboratory hosted at the Paris School of Economics that conducts research on taxation with a focus on international tax issues. Its goal is to generate new knowledge, formulate proposals, and contribute to a more informed democratic debate. It also aims to become an IPCC for taxation, providing rigorous and global analysis of different policy options.

Bloomberg's Odd Lots podcast interviewed them back in January as well:

> While electric vehicle use is growing rapidly, the internal combustion engine remains completely dominant in the world of heavy trucks. At some point in the future, Tesla has a plan to commercialize an electric semi, but nobody really knows when. Meanwhile, other entities are looking to compete in the world of industrial vehicles. Chace Barber is a former trucker in the logging industry, which has some very different characteristics than the type of freight trucking you typically see on a highway. When you're driving over the Rocky Mountains, without easy proximity to mechanics, tow trucks or service stations, you need power and reliability. His company, Edison Motors, is building its own trucks with a hybrid diesel-electric approach that it sees as a better path forward. On this episode, we discuss the challenges of hauling logs, as well as how it's possible for a small entity to get in the game of building such large industrial equipment.

Working in the enterprise tech world, I'd go completely broke.
Stereoscopic movies have some fundamental problems. I think about 20% of people have impaired stereo perception and don’t really get anything out of them. That’s not so bad, but maybe 8% or so of people are made uncomfortable by stereo movies.

The consequence of that is that movies can’t go 100% to stereo. So they are left with the strategy of showing the movie in two theaters and charging a few $ more for the stereo version which (1) alienates consumers who think it’s just a greedy “money grab” but (2) would usually cost money instead of make money because of the expense of having more showings that will be less well attended except in the case of the absolutely largest movies that can support a large number of showings.
"Ripped off" in the colloquial sense, not in the strict legal sense.

Most psychics don't actually believe what they're selling, whereas most priests do.

Prayer also works very different: a psychic will tell you "higher powers told me this man is a {good,bad} match for you", whereas a priest will tell you to "pray and ask God for guidance" and/or offer you some general advice, but they won't say "God told me to relay that [..]".

Should they be sued for it? Probably not. But I do think most psychic "customers" get ripped off by people who are essentially little more than confidence tricksters, but I don't think most people who go to church get ripped off (outside of the "send me your money and go to heaven" kind of twattery).
Indeed! Great magazine...

I also recall playing a black-and-white space game (top-down scroller) for the original Macintosh where the instructions asked you to tape a piece of cardboard to the middle of the display such that each eye had a separate image of the split screen, which ended up providing a 3D effect without special glasses. I can't seem to recall what the game was, but I could play without the cardboard using the same vision technique (the 3D effect was very pronounced when playing in a dark room).
It's not unclear, all the options are offered during the booking process. In fact they are crystal clear and you have to choose "nope" several times to get past it, they really want to sell their addons :)

But then going to the plane and demanding the things you wouldn't pay for is just disingenious IMO. And rude to the other passengers who did.

I am sorry but why do you believe in the European project? Also what is the European project?

The EU was a good idea at the start. A bunch of countries wanting to preserve peace and increase trade? Sure sign me up.

That's what it was at the start.

But now, with the open borders between countries, laws that supersedes state laws, talks about having an army and a desire to turn European countries into the United States of Europe, what is the advantage here?

You could have pacts and treaties to foster cooperation and trade. You could share intelligence and help each other out just like any other country in the world does it currently without something like the EU to manage it all.

I like to remind people that the French (and I believe a few other nations) voted against the current EU constitution in a referendum before their governments went ahead and ratified it anyway.
Enacted legislation is the agreement. Strongly agree with your second statement.
In the US, the tax code is such that you pay taxes on capital when you've lost capital too, not just on the gains. This doesn't happen with normal wage income hence why it is treated differently. The lower tax rates on capital reflect the reality that you are paying taxes on the losses too.

Tax rates ideally should be flat for all sources of income net of risk, loss, and inflation. To achieve this you either allow deductions for these, which are limited or non-existent in the US, or you lower the tax rates to offset the fact that you can't deduct these.
My understanding is that the Dark Triad traits are more or less sub-clinical personality disorders. As I understand it, personality disorders tend to be extremely difficult to treat.

Just an anecdote, but I once asked a counselor I know about treated psychopaths. They said that psychopaths are almost impossible to treat but they tend to mellow as they get older; so the strategy is to try to keep them from doing anything too bad until they get older.
Reasons to NOT adopt .NET 8 and 10 to do it ASAP
Don’t like your odds of financing that scheme, unless you start taxing some billionaires
it didnt go into detail about the purpose of the = / == padding.
and it also didnt show in the example how to handle data that can not be devided into groups of 6 bits without bits left over.
i think i have an understanding of how to do it but it would be nice to be certain.
could someone address the following 2 questions in a short and exhaustive way:

- when do you use =, when do you use == and do you always add = / == or are there cases where you dont add = / == ?

- how to precisely handle leftover bits. for example the string "5byte". and is there anything to consider when decoding?
You're thinking in terms of sides rather than facts.

> It's not evil to be wrong.

I was responding to this and making the point that we don't often allow it to be this simple. I raised the Germany example to make the point that most consider what the Nazis did evil regardless of whether they honestly believed in their reasoning that lead to genocide.

How is it "physical" when it is only an IOU from Coinbase?
Something like this happened to me the first time I used booking.com... but around 10 years ago. Someone got ahold of my booking details including the property name, booking number, etc.. and then contacted me via a spoofed email that looked like it was from booking.com, and another email that looked like it was from the hotel and asked for the reservation to be paid in full by bank transfer. A while after making the payment, I thought about it more and checked the email headers from the booking.com email and became more worried after finding some odd things, which I can't remember now. I contacted booking.com and they confirmed they did not send the email asking for payment. Long story short, booking.com did fully compensate me, around 800 eur. As for how this has been happening for 10 years, one guess is scammers could be using packet sniffing to intercept booking details sent from booking.com to hotels which could be using unsecured email protocols.
I get that and I'd accept the ruling (going to the highest possible court because this is kind of important for them). I'd just use it as a good opportunity to de-index a troubling site without any of the potential legal issues that could come with that (unfairly discriminating against said site or whatever).
I absolutely love this. I also hadn't seen several of the linked technologies before, so I'm bookmarking all of them, too.

Next up, I want to configure the hypervisor with a WireGuard connection (possibly through something like Tailscale to establish connections?)...

So I have WebAssembly over here on this machine, talking directly to this WebAssembly over there. Based on configuration and capabilities being passed in. Rather than based on the process opening TCP connections to random locations.
And there is promising the moon and delivering a tennis ball, and that years late...
The proposal in the article is to tax wealth at an annual rate of 2%. Not realized gains. Not unrealized gains. Wealth.

Under such a system — unless I've badly misunderstood something — if a billionaire's assets decreased in value over the course of a year, they would still pay 2% on their assets. I can't think of any sense in which a decrease in the value of one's assets would be defined as income.

I have an opinion of the wisdom of a wealth tax, and I could be wrong. Regardless of my opinion, I think it's indisputable that a wealth tax and an income tax are different and that conflating the two makes a debate on the merits much more difficult.

CSS and HTML is great for documents - not so great for applications. Most sites end up implementing their own navigation UI/UX at a minimum (an application) - many end up as more applications.

Inflation isn’t a secret hidden tax for any definition of tax outside of the general “it’s a burden of some sort” in which case time to fill forms, waiting at the bus stop for a bus to arrive, stuck in traffic, etc are all “secret hidden” taxes.
And leading zeros, which is awesome when postal codes have them and shipping software uses csv imports. Somebody only has to open the file once, and it isn't immediately obvious unless people know to expect that.
You can't and that's the problem.

There’s no real risk to schemes that use both post-quantum and conventional crypto in such a way that a break in either is insufficient to bring down the combination. For key exchanges that’s quite easy; you can just XOR or concatenate the outputs depending on the scheme.
A wealth tax doesn't need to be perfect to be better than not having one. The wealthy will always have access to the best lawyers and accountants who can find ways to gain an edge here and there. That's o; or at least it doesn't invalidate the approach.

Property tax is a fine example: sometimes properties aren't assessed in an ideal way (and to be fair some states also have very convoluted property tax schemes and credits) but overwhelmingly if you have very valuable property you pay more than someone with less valuable property.
Matter 1.2 is a big move for the smart home standard
Taxing corporate income is a flawed concept. Corporate headquarters are easily moved, and Corporate income is easily shifted between corporations and individuals in different tax jurisdictions all over the world.

You have to tax the income at the source, at the point of sale. It’s why most of the EU shifted to VAT’s decades ago.

The US should do the same. Corporate tax is already effectively eliminated for corporations in the US, as the income is just passed through to individual owners and shareholders who pay tax on their individual income.

The only corporations who pay tax in the US are large corporations who need massive amounts of cash on hand for research and reinvestment for new products and ventures.

It may be surprising, but wall street firms (for example) don't have a concept of "Unrealized capital gains". They mark to market on a daily basis and book the pnl and pay whatever tax. I know that at Goldman (where I worked) this is almost a religion, and I would expect it is the same at JPM and Morgan Stanley.

One reason the author is probably suggesting this is that there are a wealth of schemes whereby income can be deferred and tax avoided by use/misuse of unrealized gains.
I think the fear people have is an attacker storing captured encrypted data and decrypting it later. It may be five or ten years out of date by the time it is decrypted, but even then it could still prove to be fruitful for the attacker.

I'm sure many oppressive regimes would love to know what their citizens where privately talking about, even if it was ten years ago. I think its a valid concern that quantum computing might take off, and in ten years you could run shores algo on an AWS instance. Long con attackers could MITM chats for juicy blackmail in the future.

To enact legislation you need some sort of agreement (other than in autocracies) - I think that will be tough to get in quite a few places.
Have you gotten confused about the topic?

The court can already do this if the ruling holds which is why we are discussing it in the first place. Your phrasing it as if it's up to individual members of society to decide to impose on each other. If you think this is relevant, can you describe how?

I live in a suburb of Chicago. We do directly neighbor one of the wealthiest cities in the country, though, but our city isn't particularly wealthy (it's doing fine though, and steadily growing).

Part of the reason we bought a house here is because it was close to some nicer suburbs without being terribly expensive itself (our home was just reappraised and it was determined to still be under the average existing house sales price in the US of $410k, even though it went up like 40% since last time).

We can drive twenty minutes and go to the same nice stores and restaurants that people living there can, if we wanted to.

I'm aware our local library is an outlier. There are other libraries in the area, including in that wealthy neighboring city, that don't have anywhere near as much equipment.
If it's a password, sure, rotating it every once in a while should secure your account if someone has stored a copy of the encrypted (usually hashed) version; that said, rotating passwords is no longer a recommended practice, and second, it's more important for encrypted data, like hard drives, online e2e-encrypted chats, internet usage, images/files, etc. You can change the password / key on those too, but if someone already has a copy of the old password encrypted data it may be cracked later on.

In practice this is probsbly reserved for important people I suppose.

I really hope this isn't universally true. While management training varies across industry and activity, and while there are lots of jokes about managers, the actual percentage of large disasters that occur under newly minted managers must be somewhat low otherwise the world would grind to a halt regularly.

Yes, software development / engineering may hold a special place due to frequency of "doing things we've never done before". Everything cannot rest on the manager's shoulders otherwise they are bottleneck and their previously-skilled peers are suddenly incompetent without them at their level.
You can make incredibly heavy doors that are quite easy to open, it just costs money to design the hinges.

If you really want to be energy efficient, you'd switch to chest freezers/coolers, as they don't "spill" all the "cold" every time you open them.

Or at least doors where you can open the top or bottom half instead of the whole door.

But the energy expended is likely quite small, much less than the energy expended in upgrading anything.
It's not that SD cards don't have advantages, it's that they also have noted disadvantages in terms of speed and reliability, particularly when you factor in that people don't always buy the high end models.
