This is an interesting idea. We are a little farther off from being able to do this but agree it would look really cool.
> Politicians describe the ultra-rich as infinitely mobile, and claim that is why we can’t tax them.

That doesn't sound true; high-income houses pay a disproportionate amount of the tax burden and any type of corporate tax will fall disproportionately on the ultra-rich. There is a truism here that you can't tax poor people because they don't have enough money to cover the State's bills - by virtue of controlling all the wealth it is difficult to see how the very wealthy people can avoid paying most of the taxes. If they've managed to avoid classing their income as income then that'd do it, but that isn't happening because of a fiction that they are "infinitely mobile".

And more to the point I'd like to make - there is a better argument than one of mobility. People tend to have a position that high taxes are appropriate and someone else obviously has to be the one to pay them. That is one of those strategically stupid ideas where when they get what they want it tends to make them worse off (see also, the economic outcomes of socialism). The ultra-wealthy aren't benefiting personally from their money, the ability of a human to enjoy excess wealth starts to cap out practically in the millions. All that wealth and money sloshing around is being used to make the lives of fairly ordinary people better. Most of Amazon's benefits flow to the lifestyle of average people rather than Bezos' lifestyle, it just happens his dose of improvement is extremely concentrated. If the money is taxed out of Bezos, ordinary people will suffer a bigger hit before he suffers any personal inconvenience - he isn't using enough resources personally to make redistributing them important. The accounting benefits flow to him, but the physical world benefits aren't (you can check this by imagining doubling Bezos' money - his lifestyle will be unchanged so obviously he isn't reaping any benefits from that in the physical world).

> what is wrong with NULL?

One of the few advantages of ISO standardization is you can just read the associated papers to answer questions like this: https://wg21.link/p2312

The quick bullet points:

* Surprises when invoking a type-generic macro with a NULL argument.

* Conditional expressions such as (1 ? 0 : NULL) and (1 ? 1 : NULL) have different status depending how NULL is defined

* A NULL argument that is passed to a va_arg function that expects a pointer can have severe consequences. On many architectures nowadays int and void* have different size, and so if NULL is just 0, a wrongly sized argument is passed to the function.

Because electricity is difficult to store, but because of how the grid works you always have to generate exactly as much as is used. Not electricity generation fluctuates (obvious with wind and solar; all plants need maintenance; nuclear often has to shut down in the summer either because rivers don't carry enough water or are so hot that feeding warm cooling water back into them endangers fish). Demand also heavily fluctuates both over the course of a day and with the seasons.

Trading electricity over geographically large areas smoothes out some of these fluctuations and gives you more options to deal with planned outages
Pointing out somebody who was born into wealth who's good at a thing doesn't disprove his thesis.

I'd counter your example with another: the documentary Born Rich pretty well captures the article's point. There are lots of young people who were born into very wealthy families who clearly don't understand how anything works even at a basic level and at some points of the movie the more self-aware ones are anxious about and reflect on this fact.

For instance one admits that she doesn't understand how her credit card bill ends up with so much money on it every month, how people could possibly live on a fraction of what she spends, or how money is made or how expenses are paid. This fills with anxiety because she understands that she is utterly dependent on the largess of her family.

The Soviet Union lost the Cold War because the US tricked the military-intelligence dominated Brezhnev[0] "administration" into diverting too much investment towards defense. The result was under-investment in infrastructure and agriculture that doomed the USSR over the long run. The US was able to sustain this because it had a larger industrial base.

Shall we foolishly end up on the other side of that? The Chinese can outproduce us in preparation for a war they do not actually want to fight, it would be terrible if they joined forces with our own defense sector to ransack the private sector and proverbially "eat the seed corn."

> Elon could just go fetch $44bn from a bank to buy Twitter without anything to back it?

Collateral "becomes more important the more perilous the borrower is or might be." It's immaterial to "someone with a century of living expenses."

Elon Musk could probably have borrowed even $100mm unsecured on terms damn close if not identical to that which he could get on a secured loan, ceteris paribus. But Elon is uniquely leveraged. That makes him a more perilous borrower. And $44bn isn't lifestyle borrowing, either.

Nevertheless, he could still probably get a hundred million lent unsecured on terms quite close to his secured rates--there are groups who would do that for relationship building alone.
Judging by the movies I've seen on international flights in the past few years, I think this is really unfair to inflight video. (i.e., the available movies were all highly-rated theater movies, not direct-to-video garbage.)

The "loophole" that people often complain about is specific to the "buy, borrow, die" tax exemption opportunity. And it's mostly about the VERY wealthy who can really use this until they die.

(1.1) Different parts of America have additional taxes on estate - eg. MA is $2M not $13M, - about 10% of the state has $1M today.

(1.2) Estate tax rate and capital gains rates are different.

(1.3) You can take a tax-deduction on the interest of the loan - if you use it to buy investments. Which is something the ultra-wealthy can easily do.

(1.4) Different assets (eg. Real Estate) have vastly different loans compared to Margin/Portfolio lines of credit

(2) Because the people in question are alive. If you complain about a billionaire not paying taxes because they live off loans, presumably you want that to change. No one complains that Vanderbilt isn't taxed anymore.

(3.1) You definitely don't need 300M to do it, but if you're actually part of the bottom 95%, you'd probably need to liquidate some funds to make it to death, so you can only do this with a small amount of money or you risk margin calls.

(3.2) The "big portfolio" benefit is termed loans instead of margin - banks are way more likely to give you a huge chunk of cash for a fixed time/life if you have a lot more assets.

To my knowledge, yes [1].

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepped-up_basis

> How long has that been in place?

Since 1921 [1]. When the estate tax was in force, it was meant to avoid double taxation. In 1976, the Congress replaced the step-up basis with a carryover basis (you don't pay taxes on death but neither do you step up the basis). In 1980, it repealed the carryover basis "due to the record-keeping problems associated with reconstructing what a long-deceased relative might have paid for properties that had been held for generations," but didn't re-instate the step-up basis. In 2010, the estate tax was repealed. (EDIT: It was reinstated in 2011 in a neutered form [3].)

Duh. They need never pay income nor capital gains taxes, as long as their stock valuations keep going up, or as long as they retain enough stock, either way they can always borrow against more stock to service the loans that they took out against their stock, never ever selling any stock nor taking anything more than nominal income.

I worked for a 2nd Gen plutocrat for a while. It was fascinating to watch him get visibly agitated and distressed when reality refused to obey his whims.

Go is not magically exempt from constraints other languages are subject to, no matter how much blind faith is put into this mantra.

Java has different compiler implementations not all of which necessarily go through interpreter stage. .NET CoreCLR does not have one in the first place (there is technically interpreter code in the codebase but it has bitrotted and is unused). JIT or not does not make it inherently more prone to miscompilation bugs. One thing that Go has going for its compiler is it is a massively simpler design. The downside of that, of course, is much worse compiler output that cannot cope with complex code and is inadequate at high-performance scenarios, where the users of Go either have to try to work around this with goasm or might not even have a solution at all, short of rewriting the component in a different language and praying that the FFI call overhead is low enough for the workload in question.

In addition to that, runtime implemented in C/C++ vs Java/C# or other language does not make it inherently safer. It is always a lower-level flavour of the language, where it cannot depend on itself, and with likely numerous relaxations in assurances to stay performant that the authors uphold manually. Even when C or C++ are used - it's usually a limited, focused subset of the language. And it is a bold claim that these runtimes are not extensively tested, fuzzed and otherwise verified against defects before going to production. If you look at bug and CVE history of .NET - pretty much all issues happen in complex "non-core" APIs, often at the unmanaged side provided by operating system rather than .NET itself (the cryptography bits). I can't recall any that are directly or indirectly related to a compiler bugs.

I feel like this reply ignores the wider context, which is plain old web dev, where the use of Rust and the decision fatigue that it carries is likely to be misplaced. Just pick C# or Kotlin.
Any C# devs wanna explain the XML thing? To me having a separate class to deserialize each kind of XML document to its respective object seems nice and the "right" way to use XML. The class just becomes the config file. Generic loaders but poking at the tree is super brittle. Does C# come with magic to do this better?

Because if you have to invent the config file then isn't that creating a DSL and we're back to over engineering?
> But wait, this was a loan, not a gift. So don't you eventually have to pay back the >$1M later from taxed income?

No, you just borrow against yet more stock. You need never sell any, much less pay yourself any significant income, provided you have enough stock. Since you don't sell the stock, you need not pay capital gains taxes. Since you have no real taxable income, you need not pay much in income taxes either.

Running an internal CA is maybe a good way to deal with networking hardware managed by only a few people, but it’s entirely useless if the goal is to access a device from a client that won’t trust the CA. Also, name-constrained CAs are not widely deployed, and non-name-constrained CAs are asking for trouble.

As for a proxy, how exactly would you deploy certificates, via proxy, automatically renewing, to, say, a network switch, two different brands of printer, a camera, and a pile of containers and VMs, all from different vendors? Sure, you can hack something up, but it will be a kludge and it will not scale.
> you are saying to Uncle Sam that you are not rich

No I'm not. I'm reporting all of those assets as held. They've gained in value, and if and when I sell them I'll pay tax on those gains. In the meantime, they're just sitting there. Appreciating unrealized. And making me look rich to potential lenders.

> exactly what needs to be stopped except of course it won't be cause you know

No, I don't.

I see an analogy with the corporate death penalty. It's an appealing but ultimately stupid concept. Yet it serves a rhetorical purpose: it distracts us from debating massive, debilitating fines. Divide and conqueer. Similarly, we eliminated the step-up basis partly in 1976 and completely in 1980, and then repealed the estate tax in 2010. Those--restoring either the estate tax or, at the very least, the carryover basis in some form--are the real policy wins.

(Likewise appreciated the discussion.)
Your broker isn't letting you withdraw margin lending. You cant use it for consumptive purchases.

But its true, you can find a real lender for your stocks. You dont have to be rich.

Its not controversial, you have to pay it back. There are other quirks the rich have:

Already post-tax assets to pay something off

They are in control of the stock, they can issue more new shares for themselves or cause the corporation to do a stock buyback to pump their holdings more if market conditions are favorable.

Borrow more against the increased value or just sell something and pay the taxes that year.

Purchases of primary issuances are taxed differently than secondary market purchases.

It’s called the stepped up basis and yes, only applies to your estate.

A married couple who bought a house in Palo Alto for $250k that’s now worth $5.25M and who bought $250k of Apple stock that’s now worth $20.25M would have a Federal tax bill of ~$5 million if they sold those assets and gave the cash to their kids. If however they were hit by a bus on the way to their accountants office, and the kids inherited the assets and sold them the next day, they would owe zero tax.

There’s a popular myth that estate taxes are a second tax on income but many assets for the very wealthy are never taxed..
