It's not possible because the client's representation of the information from the server is an important part of the "gameplay". In typical network applications (that are not video games) the client's interpretation/representation of what the server is sending is entirely for the usability of the application. Maybe the client displays an array as text list, a series of cards, different tabs, etc. It's just about what makes sense to a particular client/user and what makes their life easier. It's not "unfair" for me to have an email client that highlights unread emails differently than you.

In a video game, different interpretations will give different people different, unfair, advantages. There is an "agreed upon" representation from the developer of the game that's supposed to be "fair" for everyone. Displaying audible ques as visual ques is a "cheat". Highlighting a piece of information or an object is a "cheat". Auto-interpreting information you're supposed to parse yourself is a "cheat". Not every cheat is God-Mode breaking-the-physics-of-the-game cheat. Plenty of cheats are just about having a slight edge over others.

For example, your game has a minimap. Part of the "gameplay" is that you scan the minimap every X seconds to check if something is approaching. It's a situational awareness skill that some will be better at than others. A flashing red map when something approaches would give you an edge. Or the server is sending spacial audio information about where a sound is coming from. It's an auditory skill that you develop and some will be better at it than others. An arrow on the screen pointing to where the audio is coming from would defeat that part of the game. Being able to see a moving shadow in the distance, or when to break/turn in a racing game, or an odds-calculator/card-counter in a cards game, a parry/counter attack indicator in a fighting game, etc are all "skills" that you are expected to develop to become "good" at this game. They are what make these games fun/rewarding for people. Having tools to help you with these tasks would be considered "cheats" in these games.

At the end of the day, there are "cheats" that no software can catch. Having a friend sit next to you who just watches the minimap, or who calculates stuff for you, or watch a different part of the screen for you are all "cheats" that no software can catch.

Obviously there is some stuff to be done to limit the "exploit-ability" of the information. Don't have the server send information that the client doesn't need like the location of all players all the time. Have the server reject invalid moves, like a player flying when there is no flying mechanics/ability for that player. But at the end of the day, the minimal amount of information needed to play the game can be exploited by someone if they find a different way to represent it to themselves that gives them an unfair advantage.

I’m generally with you, though I live in CA so my effective tax rate is around 50%.

I am very troubled when people who proclaim to be liberal move here—an area with high potential—to “strike it rich”, do so, and then immediately fuck off to another state where they can sell their vested shares without paying CA tax rates. CA does try to claw back avoided taxes from the worst offenders of this, but mostly they only go after people who move out on paper but still lead lives here.

One of the biggest problems though is that bumping marginal rates doesn’t affect the ultra-rich, who use tax-avoidance schemes like loans against invested assets to live off extreme wealth with nearly zero taxable income.
Boeing is not competition, it's a second source. The two companies are bidding independently for these contracts, not against each other.
UK top marginal tax rate right now is 45%. Many people pay it: doctors, lawyers, architects, not just greedy evil bankers with their big bad bonuses.

I don't want the ultra rich to have some special mega-tax to tax them for their obscene wealth. I want their effective income to be taxed the same as all these middle class people pay. As it keeps cropping up, they pay much less, via offshore wealth, accounting tricks etc.

I don't know enough about accounting to suggest how this should be done, but to me this ought to be the objective, not some punitive tax, referring to starving children in poor countries.

This has very little to do with income or wealth inequality, and everything to do with bad local government policy leading to insanely expensive housing. Anyone on a full time service job in the Bay Area is very rich on a global standard!

What's a "living wage"? Its easy to shift the goalpost! I'd bet even those service workers who can't afford absurd Bay Area housing still have a living wage by the standards of 1900!
Charity is not the same as taxes.

It's also not mutually exclusive. I can and do give away huge sums until those taxes go up.

If everyone that wealthy was left with 150k, there would be no businesses, and no jobs. We'd go from a mostly employed country to a mostly unemployed country and the governing class would become the 1% overnight and the previous 1% would be part of the 99% instantly.
I'm from the UK and I took it as a compliment.
In an ideal world NASA would also do this (see the Apollo program). The optics of a government program ‘failing’ are so spectacularly bad they simply cannot afford to do this.
I'm a little confused on this. What is the evidence that it didn't work in the 60s/70s? My understanding is that, though we definitely had "stagflation" and other problems, none of them were caused by higher taxes at the top end.

Now, granted, I don't know that I have ever seen it put forth that they were ideal levels or anything. I just have never heard the top end tax rate blamed for that. Biggest thing I have seen it blamed on would be employer tied insurance and the like.
I hear these things, but I don’t know who these companies are. It feels a bit like the tv license ban
It's not "vibes" but it is a moral perspective, not an opinion informed by data. In particular the total absence of any scientific definition of intelligence makes any "data" meaningless, which is why my comment was a semi-joke, and certainly not an "opinion." When I say Mensa members are dumb I mean it in the same way that Trump voters are dumb. I am not making a comment about overall cognitive ability.

That said, I was being mean because of Mensa's shtick is scamming naive young people. But it's an awful organization which is chock-full of very dumb adults with fully-developed cortices: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/jamie-loftus-...

You have to be ignorant and closed-minded to even consider being a member of Mensa - this is fine for a teenager but not for a real adult. I understand some people are not neurotypical and have trouble finding community (I have schizophrenia, trust me, I get it). But anyone who actually takes Mensa's membership criteria seriously is an idiot, by which I mean "utterly lacking in intellectual curiosity and proudly ignorant about science," even if they're (supposedly) good at trivial puzzles.

It's a cultural resentment of being forced to do the simple things. You dont honestly think a doctor needs to be told how to prep for surgery. But the doctor has and follows a checklist. You don't honestly think a pilot needs to be told how to prep for departure, but the pilot follows a checklist

But "detailed feedback" isn't "accurate feedback". I mean, it's pretty 'neat' that it can tell you which teeth have been 'correctly' cleaned based on the amount of time you spend in a specific spot, but is that an accurate gauge?

What if you (for whatever reason, doesn't matter) only ate on the left side of your mouth for dinner? You'd spend plenty of time on the left side, but the app might tell you you've done a bad job on the right. Further, depending on what you ate, it might take longer than whatever their predetermined time is to clean the side that had a disproportionate amount of food on it.

What if you have had a tough time with a couple of "problem teeth" that need a bit more love? Is the app capable of tracking where those "problem teeth" are and ensuring that you're spending extra attention there?

I dunno... to me, it seems like it's a no brainer to me when my teeth are clean - I can feel it. Unless a toothbrush has some detailed sensors in the head, I'm gonna seriously doubt its ability to tell me when my teeth are actually clean.
That statement is a lot of things, but I'm not sure how it's obtuse, mind explaining a bit?
> We could already build Eden on earth if it weren't for wars.

Not true. National defense is about 13% of our federal budget. Medicare, Medicaid, healthcare, and Social Security are 50%.

https://www.federalbudgetinpictures.com/where-does-all-the-m...

The 1% earn 26% of all income, but pay 46% of all income taxes. The bottom 50% of earners pay 2% of income taxes.

But our system has a serious problem. We've increased the debt by $11 trillion in the past four years, which was our total debt for the first 200 years the country was around.

The only point here is the problem is significantly harder than you're making it sound, and that's if we had a straightforward way to just stop all the wars. Unfortunately, no one's been able to come up with a way to do this yet.
Because capitalism is unbalanced, it was inevitable that it would eventually destroy itself and corrupt our public institutions in the process. The problem is, the people who capital has power over, labor, which is most people on the planet, will be the ones who get hurt the most in the process. And that’s not even considering the cost to earth and its nonhuman inhabitants.
I’d like a discussion around hard caps well beneath the “teens on a private island” level. It seems like we could determine the curve of corrosion that the idea of increasing wealth has on the brain with a few really unkind experiments.
That's just how particle physics research works. You build a detector that is designed to detect things with specific properties. You run the detector. Did you find the thing? If so, great, if not, well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Either way you write a paper and you build the next detector.

The Higgs boson has numerous experiments exclude numerous mass ranges excluded before it was finally found.

> At what point do we decide that enough has been ruled out to start looking elsewhere?

"We" don't make that decision. The various institutions who pay for these things decide, one by one, that they're going to fund some thing that sounds more promising instead.

It does kinda suck that there's something there in the universe that is perniciously difficult to see--in fact, that's how it's defined--but that is so important in the way the universe works that we can't simply ignore it. But this is the universe we're given, so this is the universe we'll run experiments on.

Isn't that the very principle of property taxes? And it has no relation to income, it's the very possession of property (or in this case, financial assets) that triggers it.
Details being classified can be part of that. It’s not in the Us’s best interest to advertise the shortcomings of their own weapons.

I can believe it. Not smoking is a great way to prevent certain types of lung cancer. However, if you have lung cancer, quitting smoking won't cure it.
This… I would be for higher taxes if they were used responsibly- maybe even have a contentious objector option that allows people to opt out of funding wars. Being able to defend yourself is important but most of the US military operations since WW2 have been pointless and awful.
Somebody does, but it's a private company, so, private books, so the general public doesn't know.

You can do some napkin math and guess that their flights for NASA are profitable, along with all the other commercial work they do. We don't know if SpaceX as a whole is profitable, but, I'd assume it's not given how heavily they're into R&D at this point.
What is reasonably certain is that they likely will be profitable once they're not spending crazy amounts of money on development if their cost per kg is actually realized.

The Untold History of Slimes
Any test with a very small true positive and even negligible false positive rate risks an unreasonably high number of false positives when applied to a large population. This is especially bad with a squishy non-scientific topic.

If you have 50,000 employees and are screening for a risk that is 1 in 1M with a 5% false positive rate you are going to be very disappointed when over the next decade it identifies 25,000 would be shooters when you have zero actual active shooters. Even better you will probably stop disregarding such a test and miss if if it actually happens.

As awesome the fact that skynet is always watching will probably cause people to manage their workspace personas to a psychotic degree that will surely ratchet up workspace stress to new highs. Deprived of actual data on what triggers the eye of sauron 100 wrong theories about how to avoid doing so will proliferate and your studied population will both diverge from the norm the system was designed to operate on and become progressively worse.

A few years later a study will prove that the AI inadvertently learned to discriminate against minorities, women, or people in other time zones through things the training population did without thinking and the people pushing it will look like bigots. Instead of ejecting we will try to fix it. Either this doesn't work or if it does people accuse skynet of being woke.
You conveniently forgot to make an argument against your second point #3. That is understandable, since there is none.

You misread the original comment. I was talking about my CV, because I am talking about rejections in job interviews, which I have been also pursuing.
I think it’s a common shared problem and everyone is looking for the no-compromises solution.

For me…

- One trusted place for all the notes (something that the stuff everywhere model lacks… things get lost or end up being hard to find)

- Portable, avoiding lock-in. The assumption is the usefulness of the notes will outlive any closed platform.

- Multiplatform, with sync. To make it easy to have that one trusted place, and it always be accessible.

- Modern features… can’t sketch too well in markdown and embedding stuff is tedious and doesn’t seem like it will scale well over time without tooling. But tooling brings back the lock-in issue.

And probably some other stuff. The perfect system doesn’t really exist. Compromises need to be made. Each person makes different concessions, while many of us jump from tool to tool, system to system, hoping to have it all, but ultimately living with constant pain and disappointment.

Windows NT (2000, XP, etc) used to include an emulator allowing to run DOS apps and win16 apps. I don't see why running older / obsoleted win32 APIs through an emulation layer won't be a good approach. Maybe even by adopting and running Wine.
> it meant healthcare, education, ...

Well you pay for this stuff, your money goes to semi-private institutions like universities (healthcare, education) instead of bouncing through taxes first. This is non-tax compulsory payments (NTCP), no?

> housing, ...

Real estate is California's #1 industry, biggest sector in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and according to everyone, community regulations and tax-adjacent policies like Prop 13 are the biggest influence on housing prices. So you kind of do pay taxes, you are obligated by law to play by the housing rules there.

> food, ...

Government subsidies are the #1 source of profits for agribusinesses. Similar to saying Tesla's main source of profit was carbon credits. Kind of a junk analysis by one interpretation, kind of central to the business by another.

Anyway my point is the average person, according to some people, pays closer to 40% like many Europeans do, when you include orthodox defined NTCP. If you think deeply about how much you are forced to pay for by law or similar mechanisms, maybe it's higher.

You live in the world you want right now. NTCPs go to regular people too. University health systems are many states #1 employers. They are socialized in a way that matters. Maybe it isn't funded through taxes but do you see how that's kind of a moot point?
