> So we're not taxing spending, we're taxing bank transfers as well

No. We are taxing spending. Transfering money abroad counts as speding. Transfering within the country doesn't.

> Maybe they just put it in a savings account overseas.

Doesn't matter. Once it leaves the system it's treated as spending.

> Maybe they're paying off a loan for money sitting elsewhere.

Paying off a loan is spending. Both abroad (as everything else abroad) and within the country too.

> Prove they bought something.

No need. Spending is something defined not something natural that needs proving. What I'm proposing is defining spending as reduction in amount of owned currency due to either transfer abroad or due to any agreements between companies or companies and customers.

> But that is what you're advocating for, by pushing it to just an extremely complicated sales tax and complicated system of fractically more complicated credits for exports

If you think that's complicated don't ever read on current taxes, fees and procedures.

My idea is comparably simple. General rule is that spending gets taxed. Tax credits are awarded to promote certain activities (like exporting or living). Nothing else. No need for income tax, corporate tax, VAT, sales tax, social security fees, health premiums, import tariffs, excise taxes and so on.

> Inherently the wealthy will spend a smaller percentage of their income.

At this point I don't think you can imagine it being any other way. I think you are fixating that we all have same stomachs and since poor people earn less feeding ones stomach will always be a larger percentage of money that available for them to spend (so higher percentage of tax).

But the rich don't spend money on what they eat alone. They spend it on cars, yahts, luxury, and what's way more impactful real estate, companies, assets, investments in general, even lobbying ... things that they must do because those are the things that bring them money ... those are the things purchasing which made rich rich in the first place and make them keep getting richer ... all of those would be taxed. I don't think you can say the same for any other proposed or real system for taxing the rich that relies on accounting for income or wealth.

Musk buying Twitter would be taxed on this purchase.

If giving the poor tax credits so that they have negative tax doesn't solve the conundrum for you I don't think anything ever will.
Note that Palantir's moral stature isn't as grey or debatable as made in the article, it is basically clearly complicit in the genocide in Gaza.

In other words, if you read the article I would add one more bucket to the three categories the author provided to classify palantir's work - genocide assistance.

from https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/us-jd-vance-peter-thiel-f...

"""
Not only did it provide information to the US military during the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, but over the past 10 months in particular, Palantir has provided AI-powered military and surveillance technology support to the Israelis in its war on Gaza.

It has, in the words of Palantir's co-founder Alex Karp, been involved in "crucial operations in Israel".

Palantir says it offers defence technologies that are “mission-tested capabilities, forged in the field” to deliver “a tactical edge - by land, air, sea and space”.

These capabilities include supplying Israel’s military and intelligence agencies with the data to fire missiles at specific targets in Gaza - be it inside homes or in moving vehicles.

It's not really a question of minding if it's there, unless its presence increases cost, anyway. It just seems a waste to let it go idle, so my mind wanders to what other use I could put that circuitry to.
I was in one of the first years that did transition year, and it was almost nothing but good for me. It got me much more out of my shell and I was able to do subjects I wouldn't have been able to do otherwise. Art, in particular, thought there weren't enough subsequently in the senior cycle for me to continue with it, sadly. My work placements were fun in different ways: I worked in a electronics repair shop and learned to solder and basic electronics (I already had a healthy respect for high voltage), worked with some architects, and also in a music studio and got an understanding of music production.

I've heard reasons for not doing it, but it's so good for broadening the horizons of who you think you are that almost all of those reasons are almost moot.
Depends on if their mind is made up. Yeah, I failed the food challenge test because you used the wrong thing! No, you can't use pork in place of ham--the trigger was something that gets added in the process of making it ham.
Similar! I learned C and C++ when I was 16, a very long time ago.

I'll definitely be stepping through the code later. It has been over a decade since I did any C++, Rust is better fit for what I need now.

I have used a GCd language in a similar manner on two projects, where I wrote version 1 in Python and then rewrote the production version in Java and for another project in C. If you know that the final project is going to be in the target language, you can kinda code in that style from the beginning. We coded in Java-lite Python and the translation was mostly mechanical, used the same integration tests.

Version 1 is for figuring the problem out.

Version 2 is for shipping it in production.
Europe's and the U.S.'s grids are geographically large.
And can I point out how unreasonably difficult it is to prevent physical/paper spam? It blows my mind that our email laws are more restrictive than physical mail.
Something I'm working on now. The real issue is that you get more perf hits trying to do all the important stuff server side, so devs have become lazy and offloaded more to the client than they should have, and then that became the standard. Moving all important actions server side isn't easy or cheap but it's how you prevent cheating much more holistically.

Now add in that I'm running a physics-heavy game with 120 tickrate, (considering higher after more tests), with fine motor control action combat, aimed to scale to mmorpg size, and it really becomes a challenge!

I've been enjoying fine-tuning various models with various data, for example 17 years of my own tweets, and then just cranking up the temperature and letting the model generate random crap that cracks me up. Is that practical? Is joy practical? I think there's a place for it.
What ends up happening is people go to each other to find their answers. No idea if a genAI workflow would be helpful at all, since the information is hidden in 1-1 chats and people's brains.

Where I see genAI fitting in - providing an incentive for teams to keep their docs up to date. Similar to how SEO was a driver for webmasters to clean up their info architecture. If I know that people are going to be chatting w/ an AI instead of bugging my team, I could justify more investment in documentation.

You must not spend any time around teenagers. Teenagers absolutely judge people for not having iPhones.

This is backwards.

My mentees (and on the other end of the age scale, my in-laws) are always shocked that I can do something on my Android in seconds that takes them minutes on an iPhone...assuming they can even do it on their iPhones at all.
Sorry what??

Are you trying to refute my point that you end up tinkering if you are using Linux as a desktop?

I don't want to run bleeding edge, I don't want to compile my OS from source, I did with slackware as a teenager, I just want to play around with SD and other AI models without it causing me to end up with my laptop randomly freezing to a hard reboot until I go down a rabbit hole of driver/kernel/window manger combos.

If I want to do it on Windows it works and I don't get random hard freezes. Trust me I'd prefer to use Linux and do quite a lot but I really don't think you are refuting the point of 'you need to tinker a lot on Linux' with your post.

So if you build a decent sized data center to consume 160 MWh you can get 2 SMRs and call it a day.

Or you can buy 480 Tesla MegaPacks (about 6 acres) and 1600 acres (it's roughly 1 MW per 5 acres) of solar panels to run the DC and charge the batteries during the day. Sure some can go on the building, but you'd still need way more acreage than that can provide.

I know what I would bet on too.
Do you know that you can create a Meta account with a one-time email address, fake name, and no connection to any other Meta service but the Quest platform? That may still be more connection to Meta than you prefer, but to many "Meta integration" implies an automatic linkage to Facebook or Instagram.

They only recommend your real name in case you need to recover your account.

From https://www.meta.com/help/quest/articles/accounts/account-se...:

To create a Meta account using your email address, you will need to provide:

Email: You can only create one Meta account per email address.

First and last name: We recommend using your real name in case you need to recover your account or manage your store purchases.

Birthday: You need to be at least 13 years old (or the applicable age in your region) to set up and manage your own Meta account. If you are between 10 and 12 (or the applicable age in your region), then you need a Meta account that’s managed by a parent or guardian.

Password: This must be at least 8 characters. Avoid passwords that someone could easily guess.

Taking a flight as an opportunity to indulge in a moment of blissful idleness is great... on a three-hour flight.

But on a 14-hour trans-continental flight, you've gotta have something to do. If nothing else, to distract you from how uncomfortable it is to be effectively confined to your seat + a few feet of narrow walkway for that long. That's more confined than a prison cell!

I don't see how the language barrier provides any security. If your threat model is foreign governments and you're rolling your own crypto you have to assume they have plenty of budget for translation. Technology is one of the main collection activities of any spy agency.

Trust in a crypto system is established by having multiple adversarial parties use it and the system being open to attack for many years without success.
So, after reading through the comments and website, I just realized I used ArchiveBox a month or two ago for a very specific purpose.

You see, I inherited a boat.

This boat belonged to my father. He was not materialistic but he took very good care of the things he cared about, and he cared about this boat. It's an old 18' aluminum fishing/cruising boat built in the early 1960's. It's not particularly valuable as a collectible but it is fairly rare and has some unique modifications. I spent a lot of time trying to dig up all of the info that I could on it, but this is one of those situations where most of the companies involved have been gone for decades and most everyone who was around when these were made are either dead or not really on the Internet.

It's a shame that I waited so long to start my research because 10 or 20 years ago, there were quite a few active web forums containing informational/tutorial threads from the proud owners of these old boats. I know because I have seen references to them. Some of the URLs are in archive.org, some are not. But the forums are gone, so a large chunk of knowledge on these boats is too, probably forever.

I did manage to dig up some interesting articles, pictures, and forum threads and needed a way to save them so that they didn't disappear from the web as well. There is probably an easier way to go about it, but in the end I ran ArchiveBox via Docker and set it to fetching what I could find and then downloaded the resulting pages as self-contained HTML pages.
Not really a requirement, you won't see USB section on the GUI. The capibaraZero is designed to support almost every device that support Arduino Wiring framework, so if a device doesn't support a feature, it will be hidden in GUI
Correct, but most generation is still produced close to demand. If you look at a map of where power plants are located (https://synapse.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/201fc98c0d74...) you'll see they're concentrated near cities. The grid spans a large area, but most energy is transmitted over a short distance.

Renewables, due to their low energy density and specific weather requirements, need to be built in remote areas. This has led to situations where the grid cannot accommodate transmitting the amount of energy that proposed renewable plants will produce: https://www.vox.com/videos/22685707/climate-change-clean-ene...

People often cite the decentralized nature of renewables as an advantage. It's not. It's a significant disadvantage as it has a much bigger burden on the transmission infrastructure.
“If forty thousand dollars of student loan debt paid for anything, it’s to be able to eat chocolate chip cookies again,” he says.

That's sort of how I felt about my student loan. Doctors who didn't take me seriously as a mostly bedridden homemaker went full nuclear and put me on like 8 or 9 prescription drugs when I told one "I took out a student loan for this summer program. I cannot afford to drop out."
Climate change fact #1: CO2 (and to some extent other GHG) is the cause of climate change.

Climate change fact #2: energy consumption is not a cause of climate change, except for when it causes CO2 emission.

Climate change fact #3: reduced CO2 emission will not stop climate change.

Reducing energy usage is a losing climate strategy in three ways 1) it doesn't solve the problem, cutting emissions 50% does jack shit, we need to get to 0% emissions and then negative emissions. 2) It's politically ineffective because only some people and countries will actually reduce emissions. 3) It's political suicide because it validates false anti-climate change propaganda. 4) It's highly socially regressive because these dictates demand that the burden be placed mostly on developing countries.

Reason #1 is enough to disqualify the "reduce energy usage" as a climate strategy, but really there's zero way to look at it and think that there's any validity. Please find better sources and stop spreading this counterproductive idea.
The idea with the plugin system is that plugins are just git repos containing <pluginname>/__init__.py, and you can add any set of git repo plugins you want to your instance.

Llama Group laid off the team who had been working on Winamp and then released the source code under a license that bans users from distributing modified versions of the code themselves and assigns copyright on any contributions to Llama Group. IMO this absolutely points to them hoping that releasing the source code would let them offload Winamp maintenance onto the community.

Yes, it is very hard. But does Palantir succeed? Or do they like some other companies just trick customers with big wallets to buy?
The vast majority of cheaters are not "rage hacking", but instead using cheats as a skill assist.

Take a moment and think about how you would design cheats that would be undetectable. Hot keys, real time adjustments, all the options and parameters you could provide cheater to dial in their choice experience while also keeping them looking legit.

Then realize cheat developers thought of all that decades ago and it is waaayyyy beyond what you can dream up in a few minutes. Hell cheats nowadays even stop cheaters from inadvertently doing actions that would out them as cheaters.

You are right, since arch is an ingress wasm filter it can be setup inside Istio just like any other envoy filter. You would need to pass arch_config someone which should be easy. We will have samples/demos for Istio and K8s deployments sometime in future.

I grew up on Django and have separately seen and contributed to numerous Flask codebases. It has become abundantly clear to me that web apps of any real size that use the library approach (rather than framework) typically end up with a poorly documented internal-only framework anyway, and that plugging together libraries has a significant cost. In my experience this is significantly more of an issue in the JS/TS/Node/etc ecosystem.

My rule of thumb is to look at the feature list for a web framework (Django, Rails, Citizen, etc) – sessions, caching, ORM, rendering, routing, auth, admin, static files, APIs, serialisation, etc etc – and if you need 3 or more, just use a framework that has them all properly integrated.

Example, you're sticking an internal API on your ML model, you need one or two endpoints, and to return some JSON. Just use Flask/FastAPI or whatever the equivalent in your ecosystem is.

Alternatively, you're building a user-facing website, you need routing to endpoints, auth, sessions, and a database. Just use a big framework. You'll likely add more of those cross cutting concerns in the future anyway, and having them all work together rather than gluing libraries together will save a ton of time.

Citizen is the first convincing framework I've seen for this approach from the Node ecosystem. Congrats on the 1.0!
So if you only market/sell your software outside of the EU then this wouldn’t apply, correct? If someone bought it in the USA and then moved capital equipment to the EU with said software I would think the law isn’t enforceable in that or similar situations?

As someone who has always dismissed Palantir, I really loved this. It's very powerful and makes me reconsider what I felt about them.

But, I'm really stuck on the point about Trump being a capable meme generator. I mean, this feels like someone saying that a monkey produces lots of BS. It is close to technically accurate, monkeys do produce feces, and the cosine distance between that and true bullshit is small. But, it misses the larger vibe-stench.
It sounds like you are trying to move DRM'd books you bought from Amazon to another Kindle, which is indeed not possible – that is the purpose of DRM. You'd need to strip the DRM for that to work.

But as other commenters noted, if you sideload ebooks which do not already have DRM on them, the Kindle will certainly not add any sort of DRM to the files. This is true both if you sideload via USB or even if you use the "email to Kindle" feature.

Oh I'm not accusing anyone of that, you can imply it if you want. I'm stating I hold a philosophical view and standing by that has consequences. I expected it to be more royally screwed up than it is in all honesty.

The results in the real world be damned, I held a view and I expressed it. I use public transport, I vote a certain way, I recycle even if that is also not worth a damn due to burning waste for power and new coal plants coming online around the world.
