I'd love to be that change! I'm indeed putting some of the pieces together to that effect. The problem is around money; kinda hard to hire people without it - and I'd definitely want to hire someone good at sales, since I suck at it. But first I need to get something built for that person to sell in the first place :)

> Don't you think leaders should be held accountable for the actions of their administration?

Color me cynical, but people only mutter this when it's someone on the other team. So, in general do I think we should follow that principle? Yes. Do I think people widely believe that enough to hold their own self-interest-adjacent parties accountable? Certainly not.

If you want to be very picky, the rule Mr Garland invented was in response to a Biden executive order [1] [2]. The executive order is long, but section 3 is pretty succinct and clear. If Mr Garland implemented an opaque system then I can predict one of two scenarios occurred, maybe both:

1. All of the information the court receives is classified and should never have been leaked in the first place, so no one should know. That means the way someone does know is because of the watchdogs inside the intelligence community.

2. Mr Garland is openly defying the President through process and appeasing someone (maybe the intelligence community).

Will you cap the wealth of corporations too?

Because if not, people with insatiable appetites will simply seek control of those corporations rather than direct control of piles of money.

Personally I'm an advocate of the exact opposite of what seems to be proposed here: controls on corporate size rather than individual wealth. Living cells don't grow without bounds; at a certain point they get too big and are forced to divide. Simply imposing a tax on corporate size (not a limit) would accomplish this.

Industries where massive size is simply unavoidable (e.g. passenger airplane manufacturing) would simply pay the tax; any economic distortions can be nulled out by reducing the industry's VAT rate in proportion to average size-tax paid by that industry. In all other industries smaller competitors would have the persistent advantage of lower tax costs, allowing them to eventually undermine the bloated colossuses.
That's the problem.

It's not ethical to perform experiments on human subjects without their explicit consent.

That's why the Institutional Review Board was created:

VC funds themselves are poor investments: "VC returns haven’t significantly outperformed the public market since the late 1990s, and, since 1997, less cash has been returned to investors than has been invested in VC".

They want 100x returns from their one winning investment, but most VC funds fail to find their unicorn.

Yes, selection bias, but also conflating funds with unicorns!

Tesla & Other car companies have way too many recalls. Someone else also failing does not negate the amount of recalls Tesla is doing or change the frequency at which they occur. I do agree that Tesla recalls gain wider internet spotlight. I believe that is largely due to Musk himself is attracted to the spotlight. I couldn’t name you the name of ceo of another car company, and tbh I think that is a good thing. It is widely known that scrutiny increases the more you of a public figure you are. Especially so if you are a divisive one.

The headline is not misleading, it is accurate.
Don't forget about MAP-T which does IPv4 NAT over IPv6. The client is IPv4, the ISP is IPv6, and server is IPv4. This is still CGNAT but IPv6 is provided. But means ISP uses IPv6 internally.

The problem for NAT64 in general use is that there is lots of IPv4-only software. NAT64 is great for business networks where control the software, but home users are going to try to use their Xbox 360 or Windows game from the 90s.

Great thread
OK, so people who are good at managing their money are ... drum roll, please ... better at managing their money.

This is a tautology.

The question is not whether rich people are better at running their own finances, it is whether they are the best people to be making resource allocation decisions.

In US capitalism, the argument for coupling the two normally consists of "well, they want to make money, so they will do what people want, and so we get what we want and they get rich and that's good".

This is just so absurd that it's really not worth deconstructing.
I'm not really making any money doing it. I learn a lot and enjoy the process.

As an example, I picked up a 1978 Bally Strikes and Spares machine from Marketplace. It'd sat in the owners garage unplayed for 10 years and no longer worked. I bought it for $400, put somewhere between 20-30 hours of work into it and around $600 in new parts. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to sell it for around $1800.
great thread, thank you!
I think it would be great for someone or some think tank to devise a very well thought out publicized plan of how an ultra-rich person could efficiently redistribute their wealth to do a lot of good. Seems like most of what people recommend now is just "give it to charity!" but that's not exactly well-vetted advice. Or like the snarky advice downthread to just write a check to the Treasury, that's not what I'm talking about. Something constructive and efficient.
> If someone is creating millions of dollars worth of goods or services what moral justification is there for it to be confiscated, particularly at your arbitrary level?

I think there are good "system stability" arguments to set limits. Roughly, states are dynamic multivariate systems whose objective function should ideally track citizen well being and state security, and taxes are one of the feedback loops that prevent individual actors from dominating or otherwise destabilizing the system.

The mistake is thinking that the fictions we created to establish this system are fundamental moral imperatives in and of themselves.
I'm always mildly surprised to remember that Yahoo still exists. I'd honestly forgotten that they even had a search engine in the first place.
I got a virtual pinball machine which gives me all of the fun of owning a pinball machine with almost none of the maintenance. My machine is the size of a normal wide body pinball cabinet and works like a normal machine does as far as tilt/bumping, flippers, coin door, etc go. If you have the time and passion for keeping up a regular pinball I would go that route. If you want something a bit more easy to maintain but just as fun to play I would look for a virtual pinball setup.
I remember this period. Early 2010's indie games had a "you had to be there" quality, as there were a lot of people showing up to the parties that weren't "in games" in the usual industry sense. I remember meeting the author in a hotel room party. He offered me drugs. He would not tell me what they were, so I declined.

Obviously everything that puts text on a screen puts a font in the user's face. But Word also presents you with styles, which make what you see changeable from the whitespace on up. Not only can one paragraph look different than the next, one word in a paragraph can look different from the word following it.

It's true that many document elements, such as tables, are easy to create in Word. This puts it over the edge into desktop publishing territory. In itself, that's not especially a bad thing, especially if your target is a printed file or a PDF. That still makes it a publishing tool, not especially a writing tool.
One thing that bugs me is "red" appearing on the dashboard for things that aren't warnings -- like album or podcast cover art. I still get distracted when I see something red show up, and then look to realize it's the "Commentary" podcast logo, or something like that. I think that red should be reserved for something that needs immediate attention, and that album cover art shouldn't be on the dash.
There's also probably plenty of space if we force these institutions to pay taxes on their land usage ;p

"it doesn't always make the best decisions" isn't the standard here.

No human organization always makes the best decision.

The question is: how best to make decisions about resource allocation? Do we favor this being the domain of (primarily) already rich and powerful people? Can we even imagine an alternative?

Well yeah, once you go down in standards of living low enough, the math flips over in favor of having children again. Because at that point, the mortality rate of children is high enough, you need extras just in case. And then someone’s gotta work your fields just to survive, after all. So the more the better just from the financial and survival standpoint alone.

To greatly simplify, it basically makes it so that it makes sense to have children on the far ends of wealth and poverty, and much less sense to do so in the middle.
AWS NAT Gateways support NAT64/DNS64. I'm not sure if it is on by default or have to enable it.

So in short, neither you nor I know what human nature is, and thus setting up criteria for social organization on whether it aligns with "human nature" is impossible, and a foolish goal.
>> I've thought for years that we should place at hard cap on wealth somewhere around $10 or $15 million

Do you think your standard of living under such a system would be lower, the same, or higher than it is now?

I think it would be much lower. I think most people will stop working when they stop getting paid. Some I guess would spend money as fast as they make it on experiences and services and other things that don't increase wealth. But I think many people who would in the current system have gone on to create billions in wealth would stop at $10 million and say, "OK I hit the number, moving on to the next challenge".

I think your points are fair and I largely agree with you, but I'd probably use the word "opaque" rather than secretive. Sometimes opaque systems do serve a purpose, other times they're an excuse to undermine rights and liberties. This court deals entirely in classified information (from its mandate) and only produces classified rulings. I linked both of the sources (.gov websites) in another comment. Whether or not that's good enough to remain opaque I don't know. I do know that I'm not a fan of any surveillance state and I'm not confident in the ability of intergovernment watchdogs to spot violations, even gross ones.

Why do only the resource allocations of rich people count as the decisions about resource allocation? What about the decisions made by non-rich people?

As the bumper sticker says, it seems easier for most people today to imagine the end of the world than to imagine an alternative to corporate capitalism.

I admit I did not read the book but I must say the concept seems wrong from the root.

A person with a lot of wealth must invest his wealth in some way that it will generate jobs or invest the money in other business.

That is also a benefit for the rest. So that thing about "we cannot see" I do not think it is such.

I mean, it is easier to see poverty on poorer people BUT the wealth invested is also what makes people have incomes. And you need people investing and managing wealth because someone needs to pay bills and multi-year investments or risk capital.

It does not need to be a single person, but a group of wealthier people are usually more inclined to risk wealth than average.

I think this role is also necessary in societies.

DDG is nearly as bad as google.

Besides, Kagi actually shows you results for the -exact- query you enter. It does not replace your query with whatever it thinks you want. Kagi will respect quotes and Boolean operators and other advanced features that google, DDG, et al simply ignore.

I find it nearly impossible to find anything on DDG because it's so aggressive about just straight up ignoring my query to show me something else. Kagi will quite simply give you anything in the index matching your query or nothing at all. You know, like how a search query is supposed to work.

Do you believe Bezos got rich by not giving people what they wanted?
I am aware it is a term of art and that the nature of the fix is independent of the presence of a dangerous defect requiring prompt remediation i.e. a recall.

Unfortunately, lay understanding of the term results in objectively wrong statements like: “it is not a recall, it is just a OTA software update”. We would be better served if NHTSA replaced the term with a descriptive alternative that better communicates the intent and nature of the term.

I suggest: “dangerous defect notice” as it is descriptive, unambiguous, sufficiently alarming, and clearly indicates it is a property of the product instead of the remediation.

Well if US stops protecting Taiwan, and China invades, that will end that debate. The new debate will be, Taiwan WAS an independent state and now isn't, and some one will come along and "yeah well that was 70 years ago!".

Psychobabble or not, it boils down to how much anyone wants to get involved in a nasty fight to save someone else, which might end up causing more damage to Taiwan even if they do. I don't think this is right but is the world has always operated, not sure anything has changed.

Whenever someone has a take on "feminism" I kind of dismiss them and am skeptical they know what they're referring to, because IMO there are 2 completely different groups: "common-sense" feminists and radical feminists.

Radical feminism consists man-haters, and that's not my bias, many of these people will openly proclaim they hate all men and believe all men deserve to suffer for their horrible crime of existing. These are femcels, people who believe they deserve the world without contributing anything themselves, like incels but of the opposite gender.

Common-sense feminism holds the types of beliefs I imagine "good" men would hold. It promotes gender equality, except in the cases where biology makes different treatment justified (e.g. some women have to take it easy a few days every month). And encourages women to pursue whatever they want, whether that means dancing or engineering, and express themselves however, whether that means camming or generally avoiding social interactions.

Needless to say, the first group absolutely deserves opposition, the second does not.
