A noble idea, but the logistics of it are difficult. How would you actually do that tax?

For example, take Jeff Bezos. His income isn't all that much, so you'd probably want to tax his wealth. Luckily, most of his wealth is from a public company, so we can skip the difficulty of valuing it (something a lot of other billionaires would have to deal with).

But now how do you collect the tax? Do you make him sell 95% of his shares of Amazon? That would certainly tank the stock, and then you would owe him a big refund for overtaxing him.

Or does the government just take his Amazon shares? So now the government would be the biggest shareholder of Amazon. Is that good? What does the government do with that stock? Does it start giving shares to government workers instead of paychecks? Does it pay off its debts with Amazon stock? Would the government's vendors even take that as payment?

I agree that wealth inequality is a problem, and we need to do something about it. I'm not exactly sure what or how though.

If you define a browser without a content blocker as 'malware' the answer is 'yes, you have malware installed'. Get a content blocker - uBlock Origin works fine in Firefox and still works in Chromium - and take the road to sanity. As far as I'm concerned the commercial web is unusable without at least a single layer of defence against advertisements and advertisers, preferably several layers - DNS or hosts file, content blocker, etc.

Named parameters are a different thing than type incantations, and I agree that it would be good for any non-operator function that takes more than 1 argument to require named parameters.

I haven't written one yet, but the provided docs are pretty easy to follow:

1. Tailscale has their custom OIDC docs that tell you everything you need, plus the Webfinger setup: https://tailscale.com/kb/1240/sso-custom-oidc/

2. I set up Webfinger first, so assuming you're setting it up from scratch you can either run a Webfinger server yourself, or just configure the paths in whatever web server you have for your base domain. I didn't feel like running Yet Another Server and since the Tailnet's only for me I just plugged the following section into Caddy:

@webfinger {
path /.well-known/webfinger
method GET HEAD
query resource=acct:MY@EMAIL
}
rewrite @webfinger /webfinger.json
header @webfinger {
Content-Type "application/jrd+json"
Access-Control-Allow-Origin "\*"
X-Robots-Tag "noindex"
}

Where webfinger.json is file containing the response tailscale is looking for from their doc. You can verify it works right at https://webfinger.net/lookup/ .

3. For Dex you can just set it up like any OIDC connection; Authelia was about the same but they have their own page: https://www.authelia.com/integration/openid-connect/tailscal...

Took me about an hour or two, most of that being wishy-washy on how I wanted to serve Webfinger.

The Tuskegee trials ended in 1972 which is barely 50 years ago.

Also "despite being only 201 people that never has syphilis" is not the relevant part. There were 600 people, ~400 had syphilis, they were intentionally not told they had syphilis and treatment was intentionally withheld, and non-treatment was disguised (either placebo or intentionally ineffective "treatment"). As a result:

* More than of the subjects were killed by their syphilis infections (literally more than a quarter of the victims)

* Dozens transmitted syphilis to their wives, and it's reasonable to assume a lot of others in the community

* 20 kids were born with congenital syphilis

> one core issue is that the participants themselves did not know

The information was explicitly and intentionally withheld, and they were instructed to not see other doctors for treatment. They were explicitly told in fact that they were being treated.

This was not some minor experiment with no real consequences, this was a US government approved and funded experiment that continued into 1970 violating the same post-WW2 medical ethics laws nazis were charged with. As late as the 60s the CDC was explicitly arguing that the experiment should not be stopped until everyone involved had died and could be autopsied, e.g. the literal intent was for them to withhold treatment from all victims until they died from a 100% curable illness.

Don't try to minimize this experiment by falsely claiming it was a hundred years ago, or that it didn't kill people.

When I've heard people talking about using copyright to defend against AI, they've always talked about it in the sense that their works being used to train the AI is where the copyright violation takes place.

That stance is clearly not supported by copyright law.

If, however, we're talking about copyright violations applying to the distribution of works generated by AI, that's an entirely different conversation. It's still not really clear-cut, but there are ways that could be in violation of copyright law.

It isn't the case that AI is being treated differently, though. The issues would be the same if a human were doing all of this stuff.
There is a performance - cost envelope that we are pushing, which I believe github will be hard pressed to match.

Sort of. You can block the domain in the result but not the spammy domain underneath.

If you're getting tons of result with gov.ar (spam1.gov.ar, spam2.gov.ar, spam3.gov.ar) you have to use up your blocklist for each one. You can't block gov.ar.

"Doc, the Wifi AP doesn't work very well when I put it in a metal box" ... "Have you tried not putting it in a metal box?"

It feels like the author has a self-induced problem where she indeed knows better. But she's trying to emulate what she thinks a non-techie would do, and getting that quite wrong by limiting herself to fewer pieces rather than widely available off the shelf products meant to solve the problem properly.

Obviously the metal box is meant for modem+router+switch, and then you hang wireless APs off of where the ethernet cables run to. When I was in an apartment that had a similar setup, I found it a bit limiting and still ran various ethernet lines under rugs and whatnot, but it was much better foundation than draping cables in hallways and stairways.

I'm in the "every life is sacred" camp, but...even if you do kill one animal and leave it to rot, it's not a total waste, just a "cruel" one.

Other things feed off of the carcasses of animals the same as you or I do. We just consider all other organisms beneath us, so if we kill and discard something, we write it off as a total waste. Birds, dogs, rodents and microorganisms disagree.

Oh wow. That's incredible. So legally Passenger Rail has priority, but in practice the freight-corporations bully the passenger lines.

Its a difficult situation, because nominally, the freight-rail operators also own those raillines. So a free-market solution is likely not possible. This is just something that needs to be enforced from the top-down.
I would start by leraning more about how public markets really work

I've tried to figure out the logisitics of having Caltrain and Cal HSR sharing two tracks in the SF Bay Peninsula corridor and I simply can't figure it out. There's no way you can get the Cal HSR at speed through the corridor with bidirectional Caltrain non-high-speed traffic, and there's no room to build more track. So the HSR would have to slow down to Caltrain speeds or they would have to modify the Caltrain schedule (this is all speculation; I haven't seen any plans to address this, other than the ongoing grade separation and electrification).

Combined with the route (which takes a big detour, increasing the ride between the termini), it seems like we're going to pay a lot of money to have something that can sort of get you between northern LA and southern San Jose in a not-very-short amount of time. Hard to see the attraction.

> I agree that wealth inequality is a problem, and we need to do something about it.

Why? Wealth isn't zero-sum. Most of the American super-wealthy got that way by providing value to others. I'd argue that the bigger problem to societal stability is jealousy and envy, and the idea that rich people got that way by taking from the poor.

The hugely inflated net worth numbers of the likes of Bezos and Musk are fake anyway, in the sense that their assets could not be converted to that amount of dollars; and the Fed should take a large share of the blame here, because ZIRP made it so that investors could only really put their money in growth tech companies.

after all, we did not implement a "real" parser. we just use libpg_query, the actual Postgres parser, and work around its limitations as good as possible.

Yeah, but if the media did that rather than cherry-picking then it wouldn't be possible to create an endless stream of headlines like this which make it seem like the richest people always win and this must be somehow at the expense of the rest of us. I remember there were a bunch of headlines about the wealth of the richest increasing during the pandemic that pulled the same trick too, measuring from around the bottom of the huge pandemic-induced dip in the markets.

I think there's another layer of cherry-picking too, in that the list is the 25 richest families in the world now, so it excludes families whose investments have done poorly. Not sure how much of an effect that has, but entry number one and number five weren't on the list last year and they're both owners of big state oil companies which is a sector that's done unusually well compared to the rest of the economy and to how it was performing a couple of years ago.

F1 is an ecosystem in which the competitors agree to a set of rules as a prerequisite of participating. Among the guiding principles of the rules are "limit spending on aspects that don't meaningfully affect the competition" and "when possible, make it easy to enforce the other rules". Using a single, common ECU (which is both complicated to manufacture and doesn't directly influence performance [0]) saves all the teams (bar McLaren) from having to go down a rabbit hole of doing semiconductor design and manufacturing and makes it easy for the governing body to enforce rules about how the ECU is configured.

One tactic that worked really well while I was a coding engineering manager is to have engineers in opposite timezones that don't mind sharing git branches.

We have a small team of 4 engineers (1 in Seoul, 1 in NYC, 2 in Brazil) + myself (CA) and we shipped a brand new product line with paying customers for our startup in a few weeks (subsequently added more features). I correlate that strongly to us having a 24hr engineering cycle and us being willing to pick up where others left off.

The small team acting as a startup really resonates with my experiences.
I've heard the secret to getting contractors to do what you want is "Name a price, then do it." Basically for everything non-standard you want in the build, let them set a price, and then pay it. Oftentimes it'll be a few thousand for extra wiring or moving some outlet around, $25K to raise the roof in a room, something like that. But if they feel like they're getting an extra few grand out of you, many contractors are very willing to do it.

It does mean that costs frequently balloon, but you should expect that when you do any form of home renovation, and just budget an extra $100K or so for it.
