Everyone will want the threshold for the 'wealth tax' to be their wealth + $1, even better if the Smiths next door with all their vulgar displays of wealth are hit by it.

I on the other hand with my $1 lower wealth am an average humble common man of the people.
I did read the article. My comment is not a criticism of the article, it's a general point that I think about a lot and which I think was worth discussing in the context of this article.

I think this article is a fairly clear example of one side of the debate, and while it's somewhat open to the idea that there are other ways of doing things, it is also somewhat dismissive of using other peoples' abstractions.
On the other hand, displaying products in a uniform size with a front 2D view means you lose a lot of the context that you subconsciously use to spot a product, so while it might make otherwise hard-to-notice products easier to spot the first time, it makes it way harder to find it again because everything kinda just blends in together.
Yes. There should be no objection against people being paid for honest work, but if these people use that money against other people in any way, we have a problem. And this is almost always the case, where rent seeking is just one example.

I have wasted an obscene amount of food trying to preserve it. This is the kind of skill that used to be learned at home when you were a kid but as I was growing up this was only passed onto daughters - us boys were taught different skills and my wife grew up in the city. Trying to learn this from books is terrible. Most of the time I call up my mom to teach me over a video call but some things are easier taught in person, especially ones that require manual manipulation of things.

I worry that enormous amount of nuance is lost when transmitting skills through written down form instead of in person.
The problem with base64url is that ~ and . are not letters.

No, typically the extra characters used are “-“ and “_”. That’s what the table in the IETF link shows.
Yeah, the middle class is already being wiped out, leaving the working class with nothing to aspire to.

> Taxation is not "taking things from people". Everyone benefits from the public services Taxes fund, even the super wealthy.

Of course it's taking things from people. You might say that it's worth it, but that's nothing to do with the mechanism.

Having worked with the public sector a bit, it's incredible how much money is constantly wasted. You see public services and think all the money is spent efficiently on them, when it's just constantly spent on everything. £20k meetings to decide whether or not to spend £10k. Making sure your budget is always fully spent so you can get the same next year, even if you don't need it now and won't need it next year. Every day in every department in every government, multiple people's whole lifetime of taxation is wasted.

The mentality is totally different when your customers go to jail for not paying you.
That would be nice, like a Webstorm / editor feature that detects when you re-use code and recommends abstracting it. I would love that to be able to detect that like "Hey these buttons all share these features, let's refactor it for you"
That's exactly what I thought. Calls to tax the rich are not affecting them since they have means to avoid being taxed. We have no means at all and those laws will be directed at us at later stage (thresholds lowered, definitions changed, etc.).
There are so many photos of it in the article…

Not a linguist. I feel like this is just an issue of imperfect correspondence between the word "blue" in English and "ao" in Japanese. The article explains the historical reason why ao encompasses both blue and green, so I think the concept of semantic field comes into play here.

As an analogy, a MacBook is a type of laptop, and laptops, desktops and tablets are all IT devices (for lack of a better word). Apple might have you believe that a MacBook is very different from a laptop and belongs in its own category, but to me I would still lump it under laptops. If I was presented with a MacBook, a desktop and a tablet and was asked to pick out the laptop, then it would be clear to me that the MacBook is the correct choice.

Now, midori (green) is a type of ao ("grue"), and ao, kiiro (yellow) and aka (red) are all colours. English speakers argue that green is very different from blue and that they're different colours, but to Japanese speakers ao encompasses midori. If a Japanese speaker was presented with the colours green, yellow and red and was asked to pick out ao (in the context of traffic lights), then it would be clear that green is the correct choice.

There are loads of situations where words in two languages seem to directly correspond to each other, but still they are subtly different especially when the nuances of the words are considered.

I don't really like the series. I mean, on one level it's awesome, filling the same niche as Star Trek used to, optimistic sci-fi.

On the other hand, it feels slightly odd that everything in this alt-history just falls nicely into place. Everything is better, society, technology, even little things like king Charles marrying Camilla instead of Diana. It feels like someone doused the reality in sugar.

Which is not bad per se. I had my fill of bleak dystopias. But it is starting to stretch disbelief.

No, inflation concentrates the wealth into the hands of the government, banks and the wealthiests, not the people. This is called the Cantillon effect.

Our goals with a health system are:

- give as many people as possible health care

- do it in a cheap and efficient way

- without stifling innovation

If markets are a good way to do that, sure. But let me ask you one question:
Who do you think will negotiate better prices for any given procedure or medication:

1. A nation-wide health insurance that makes up 90% of a companies volume

2. The solitary regular Joe who is in pain and uncertainty about their health

No need to answer me, because the numbers and real world examples already exist and this is a known market dynamic (bigger buyers can negotiate better prices). This is why patients in nations that have such systems pay sometimes multiple magnitudes less than people in the US.

Now let me ask you another question: How would you structure a health care market if your goal was to extract as much money as possible and how would it differ from what you guys already have?

If you ask me, the market for healthcare in the US work as intended. Just not for the customers.
Why not just ask the taxpayer to identify the value of all their assets, with the condition that they must sell to the government at the price given, if requested?

Note that in practice income is also quite complicated to pin down in tax law.
I’m sorry I don’t want to dox myself nor spend my time arguing with people who just googled “how does X country benefits system work” on HN

Encoding and decoding base58 is a lot less efficient (needs arithmetic multiplication with a carry across the stream).

Base32 is sufficient in most cases and can avoid some incidental swear words.

If you want density go for Z85, which is a 4 -> 5 byte chunked encoding and therefore much more efficient on a pipelined CPU.

> in a dictatorship the interests of the country and the interests of those at the top are not aligned.

I wish that was a problem only in dictatorships.

> long term a disastrous decision for the country, short term it pays out for the current leaders if their cover up

Dictators will remain in charge long term. To that extent their interests are better aligned with those of the country. I decision that will be bad in the medium term can be quite good for the ruling party in a democracy if they lose the next election and can persuade the electorate to blame whoever is in charge at the time.

Cleaning is done by the previous tenant, or usually by a company the hire. Repairs are done on an on-going basis.

A 2021 Scientific Reports study assessed a similar double-stranded RNA, which was being developed for a spray to combat the same potato pest. It found that within nine generations, 11,100 times the original quantity of pesticide was needed to get the same effect – an “extremely high” level of resistance, according to the study itself.

It isn't either in a democracy.

In a way it's even more insidious in a democracy because the corruption is hidden better by one or a few layers of indirection. In the end however corruption and interests of the powerful is king.
So American tax payers are subsidising your security costs? NATO has benefits and costs. Some of the costs are financial and some are political. All of that has to be figured in when you are talking about how the super-rich benefit greatly from the current situation and do not pay proportionally
>What happens if we grow a mind native to the infinite possibility space of digital computing?

Nothing we need to care about, as there is no such a thing. Mankind has put a significant portion of its limited attentional power on building interconnected silicon computers, that in a space whose scale is so small compared to human bodies that illusion of infinity is easy to fall into. In the same time, mankind went with global policy of massively draw on non-renewable energy stock, destroying vast sustainable life supporting environment in the process. There is nothing like unlimited resources and infinite space.

Now, obviously, this page is marketing idle talk, with a weak connection to the actual work in their labs.

From a purely scientific point of view, I wonder if that kind of device is just as vulnerable to magnetic storms as a pure silicon based device.

From a human perspective, without much more context, this seems just horrific and I wish them much ethical and legal barriers to stop them already.

Why would it matter? If you keep paying the tax it'll be a good motivation to make it rentable or sell it to someone who can do it.
It happened before and will happen again, yes.
The claim was in the article (well, part 3) and supported by people who work in the field.

Isn't the government also a monopoly? Can you really get rid of it and its corruption by just voting? What about state monopolies when they become inefficient and debt ridden, and can just _forbid_ competition?

No private monopoly is forever, whether it's the Hudson's Bay Company, the East India Company, GM, Kodak, IBM, you name it. All those empires fell because eventually there will be more innovative offers from lighters, more agile competitors.
Government monopolies are much harder to get rid of.

There is binary and text, though. Many bit sequences aren't valid in a given text encoding (such as UTF-whatever) and so trying to use them as text is an error.

I understand what you mean, of course text can be represented and treated as binary, and the inverse often as well although it isn't necessarily true. Even in Windows-1252, where the upper 127 characters are in use, there are control characters such as null, delete, and EOT which I'd be impressed if a random chat program preserves them across the wire.

I also don't read an implication that ASCII couldn't be converted to b64

My wife stopped into a local supermarket (in the UK) a couple of weeks ago to grab some things, she came out slightly puzzled and said to me; something along the lines of "what a pain in the arse; all of the freezers have black glass now and I had to open each one to find out what was in them".

I was equally puzzled at why on earth they might have done this; It finally occurs to be, having read this, that they must have been screens, but they were off.

Fantastic.

You're missing the point. Saying that once upon a time taxes were 90% and it was fine is wrong because there were ways round it. Therefore there is no historical evidence that this level of taxation would be a good idea.
It's a really simple vulnerability though. It comes of like you're not really on top of things when you cant reproduce or close it.
TL;DR:
- Everybody in this post is sick of paying taxes
- Everybody will pay more taxes in the near future. Period
- Rich guys will pay mostly the same taxes in the future
- Taxes are collected to repay debt not to sustain a sick society.

Anything else is wishful thinking and academic ideology far away from the real live.
