> "lowering" doesn't mean having the lowest rate in a race to the bottom.

The world has seen tax rates lowered in a race to the bottom.

> Putting it back to 35% would put us as top 5 in the world.

See above.

> We have the data. This is a settled point. Tax revenue goes down and entire industries die and move away.

First off, no. Empirical evidence on the impact of lowering corporate tax rates shows mixed results. Implementation is key.

We've been in a well documented race to the bottom for about 50 years. We've been ignoring potential solutions like capital controls, sabotaging tax harmonization and international cooperation, and taking away the ability of the IRS to chase big fish.

American industry died because corporations chose to move their manufacturing to the places that were most willing to exploit their workers, with the backing of the same corporate-sponsored politicians cutting tax rates.

'The problem with neoliberalism is that sooner or later you run out of public goods to strip mine for temporary profits.'

> Folks seriously believe having one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world will have a positive effect are dreaming.

From 1952 to 1963 the corporate tax rate in the US was 52%, with the highest tax band set at 91%. The period and the years afterward were characterized by massive growth and decreases in inequality.

You could call it the heyday of the American Dream, when upward mobility was at a peak.

> Don't strawman with Ireland.

Ireland illustrates the point perfectly. Apple moved there so they could pay <1% tax across all Europe in a secretive sweetheart deal, and Ireland didn't even benefit all that much. Tax harmonization put an end to it. All very relevant and not at all straw, unless you're coming in with a hard bias...
I disagree.

The grocery store doesn't exploit my inability to grow food, it enables me to do something more productive with my time instead of growing food and leaving that part of society to the experts. Food surplus and specialization are vital concepts to any advanced society.
It makes me wonder what our future will look like? Are we doomed to climate collapse on this planet? In which case, is space-faring our future?

To further your point– if we can't even get our act together on this planet, what evidence is there that we could get our act together in space?

I think the survivors of these early centuries of the third millennium will be forced into space. By this point infrastructure from mining and refining rare-earth minerals will be in place. It will be survivable, but it won't be comfortable. It may never be.

Our debut as a space-faring species will mark a long dark age in our history. With no evidence that we can create microgravity, terraform, travel even close to half the speed of light, or put ourselves into some form of abeyance (cryosleep)– we will become divided, isolated, and oppressed to a degree we never have in our history. We will struggle for every resource we currently take for granted.

I have no doubt that humanity in some form will continue to survive, but I don't think it will be comfortable or ideal.
Nah, you have the wrong idea completely, non-shady businesses provide a good or service, that you can't obtain (easily) yourself. Period, non-stop. (Ignoring for a minute monopolies, which can actually be quite fair but usually aren't unless heavily regulated.)

If you have infinite time, resources, patience, sure, you might be able to provide the same thing for yourself, but not everyone has a farm, not everyone has the time or ability to visit Grandma...

Shady businesses try to sell you gum while on your call to Grandma (nothing to do with calling grandma, just a "value-added" thing).

I'd also posit, if you don't know the difference, you're probably being exploited yourself. I'd take a hard look at who you are giving money to, and try re-evaluate if they are providing you value or not (with respect to your circumstances).
There's no exploitation, he wants them to get rich, he wants this to be their last career. He's asking who's interested in going on that journey.
This is so good.

As a musician (with adhd, no longer taking meds for it, but I digress) I have a lot of songs started, and far fewer completed.

I'm going to keep this in mind. When I get bogged down and can already feel the song is going to sit there unfinished, it means it probably is done, maybe needs another verse or whatever, and that's it.

Labouring over completeness sometimes ensures it'll never be complete.
> My biggest gripe with multi-profile support is that it mixes the taskbar icons in windows.

edit: never mind, I wasn't awake, see reply.

FWIW on Windows this works fine for me. I run two different profiles. I get two separate taskbar icon groupings, they stay together and collapses independently.

Must admit I've not used multiple profiles on my KDE install yet.
>If you brake more aggressively, you will be involved in more accidents, but in fewer accidents that are considered your fault (courts and insurance companies will almost always find against the rear-ender).

I was talking to a kid once that was bragging about how his dad always got rear-ended, due to aggressive braking, but it was 'never his fault'. I was like "your dad is an asshole, that isn't something brag about."

No, a lot of people on this website value very highly their completely irrelevant nitpicks. I’m starting to think it’s just the kind of mind the tech industry attracts, because I’ve noticed it in some coworkers as well.
I'm in basically the same situation, although not quite 40. My ACE score is 1 or 2 - I didn't have a very traumatic childhood, but I was an only child and my parents were never really mentally present for me. My parents themselves had a pretty traumatic childhood and early adult life.

I went through my 20s by keeping my self busy with work and side-projects. I guess "high functional depressive" is the term. Financially I've done pretty well - changing jobs often has some perks. Working for early stage startups you can avoid a lot of the corporate BS which has become my niche.

The hardest part of life has been since I had kids. Trying to be present for them, and not making the same mistakes as my parents.

Interesting question. I would say yes. But, there are subtle biases:

* coin always favours H or T. simple bias

* coin has some component of behaviour which can be on, off or reset. For example a liquid mercury component, which can bias the H or T outcome but the right kind of "flip" resets it to a known-safe mode so the coin has less to no bias.

* coin has bias which only manifests in skilled hands. a particular kind of flip.

The point I'm making is that probably, the bias is always assumed to be H or T favouring, but doesn't admit more complex coin bias where it could be 2 or more actors and 2 or more capable of biassing, and a pigeon who can't (or a dummy, and a pigeon: a good con generally has more people involved than you think)
> where it's actually surprisingly hard to draw a line separating the two.

It's really not that hard. If they sincerely thought they were doing something legal they would have sat back and waited to be vindicated, not spun up the The Power-Shredder 2400™ in a panic and started feeding it what, for the sake of argument, a court of law might want to call "evidence".

That's a line, crossed pretty definitively.

I find phones from both an OS and general Human Interface Device standpoint to be subpar for any meaningful form of composition. Humans are adaptable and can manage amazing things even with tools barely fit for the job. However that same level of experience and training with a tool fit for the task would surely yield far better results.

Mobile computers do have their place, but the pocket form factor is at best a window to better tools that exist elsewhere. For my use cases they are primarily a communicator, occasionally media consumption device (E.G. if I'm on an airplane or something), and sometimes good for a quick reply in various electronic forms.
> A simple solution has elegance. It is the result of exacting effort to understand the real problem and is recognized by its compelling sense of rightness.

ADHD, ASD, treatment resistant depression. ACE score of 5, but I feel that misses a lot of very specific trauma.

One of my previous partners abused me. That was many years ago, but I still have severe anxiety, constantly worried someone will scream at me for things I had no control over.

I'm so depressed I have trouble taking care of myself and regularly think about killing myself. In therapy for years, not sure if it's helping.

I genuinely have no idea how I hold myself together at work, it's like I'm a different person there.

How much more could I have been, had things been a little different?
I don’t know if they’re necessarily two different conversations - there’s a conversation to be had whether the business practices discussed would have been effective in an ethical operation.

It’s entirely possible the success has nothing to do with the business principles and 100% the ethics. Same the other way around, or anywhere in between.

Google is an ads company. uBlock Origin is making them lose money...

No, that's why everyone is angry and a ton of people switching to Firefox, to keep using uBlock Origin as it is, since Firefox still respects the V2.

> My favorite example is <li>item<li>, which is unfortunately both valid HTML and also an obvious typo.

If it’s <li>item<li> and then the next line is <li>item</li>, it’s an obvious error, but you certainly need to discriminate in that sort of way. Because if your thing goes complaining when I write <li>item<li>item, I’ll be upset.

(In practice, it would almost always be <li>item and then a next line <li>item; when doing things like horizontal menus, you used to use `display: inline-block` and need to avoid whitespace between list items, so you would find <li>item<li>item in serious code, but now you’d use flex and so whitespace between items gets vanished, so you can write it on multiple lines without it affecting the actual layout.)
To extent I agree, I think that's true for all tech since the plough, fire, axles.

But I would otherwise say that most (though not all*) AI researchers seem to be deeply concerned about the set of all potential negative consequences, including mutually incompatible outcomes where we don't know which one we're even heading towards yet.

I actually did the other thing too, that you can update and PR here: https://github.com/airbytehq/glossary/. The same approach, but not many did, it. And for me to keep going is much easier if it's just me, as I can spend time on producing valuable content and not merging, although the value of other opinions would be greatly beneficial too.
If this leads to simplification of the UI to the patterns which go smoothly in flow, I'm all in.

If this leads to some kind of smart UI where the menu order and position mutates to what they think you want but with no constancy, I'm outta here.

If the item is number 3 in the menu, it needs to be number 3 in the menu each time. If you decide it should be number 1, I need to know. If its number 3 in this menu and number 7 in that menu, I need to know. Smart means simpler, not "adaptive to the context" for me.

Is this actually much more than breadcrumb following and mouse heat traces?

In my view there has been enough successful attacks which used ad networks to launch the attacks that I consider ad blocking primarily as my first line of defense.

For example, some years ago here in Norway a fairly popular site got their ad network exploited to serve an exploit which installed malware that hijacked the pages of the largest bank. When you think you sent money to your kids or paid a bill, you ended up sending the money somewhere else entirely.

So for me, it just isn't worth the risk, and I won't surf without an ad blocker.
I have ADHD and I cannot use a product if there is ads. In any form they exist in, they take up time, energy, and attention, all of which I have precious little of compared to the average person.

Ensuring I still have PiHole or NextDNS to block ads at a DNS level, I'd use Safari with any adblock extension.

Failing that, I'd browse the compatible web with a TUI browse in terminal.

Failing that I'm reading books and taking notes on paper or in Vim. No internet for me.

> When done perfectly correctly, consciously breathing nets the same benefits to the body as unconscious or automatic breathing. You don't really have to spend any mental energy on it to get the oxygen you need (your body will even yawn for you if it needs more).

I was taught that this is not entirely true : your automatic breathing is influenced by your morphology, your posture, your current levels of energy, and your current emotions. And it sounds like the feedback loop can go reverse : intentionally breathing have an impact on your posture, your level of energy and your emotion.

I have no source to support my claims so don’t take my words as any truth, that’s just a belief multiple people shared to me including my doctor.

But I do feel like intentional breathing have a direct impact on my levels of anxiety. Not magic, but useful.
> The problem, Dejoy said, wasn’t that he didn’t want electric vehicles.

It's all in my Obsidian Vault. And I update every day. I do it mainly for myself. I have been a writer for 8 years, but I have been taking notes already since 2003 (OneNote). But since I use Obsidian, it takes me zero effort to publish some notes publicly; that's why I'll have an easy time continuing. And I focus on small bites every day, rather than huge updates and try hard. This way it's just natural to me. Whenever I research something or learn something, I add it to my Vault, it only takes me 10 more seconds to put it in the work of research I did already. If I want, I spend some more minutes to add some thoughts and connect with other related terms. But that's where I learn most. So it's really rewarding to me.

So what is the exact impact? I keep hearing claims that advertising is bad, but never an actual example of an impact - something concrete.

Ads to me are merely a nuisance, and annoys me, rather than impact me in any dangerous way. Of course, i will do my utmost to remove it from my life, but i cannot see it be called a danger to the public. Calling it such will actually diminish the importance of other public dangers, such as lobbying, monopolistic corporations etc.

> Maybe some trauma really is needed in your childhood to produce more drive.

No. You’re missing the people who don’t post on here, which are those who have died, those who are suffering too much to spend time here. This is a high privilege forum on average, and that there are success stories doesn’t mean it’s somehow good. Ask any one of us what we thought we could have achieved with a supportive “good enough” childhood and often you’ll get tears.

There are very few material benefits for people who climb out of holes, even if they’ve had to go twice as far as the person next to them. A deeper sense of peace or contentment, maybe. But most will compare a 40 year old who’s driven their way out fully out of hell and a 25 year old ready to see how high they can go and choose the one with more runway and less desire to care for themselves.
