Cognitive Distributed Ledgers (CDLs) represent a transformative shift in governance infrastructure, merging Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), blockchain transparency, and tokenized ecosystems to address the systemic inefficiencies that plague global institutions. By leveraging AGI's predictive capacity and blockchain’s immutable ledger, CDLs enable decentralized, self-optimizing governance systems capable of real-time decision-making, equitable resource distribution, and enhanced cyber resilience.
You can also charge at work

Very true. I've seen some tech companies doing this in conjunction with adding roof solar to get tax breaks. Are other industries stepping up as well?

Of course in hind-sight I recall we had about 16 chargers at the time we had over 20k employees. There were a lot of Tesla's in the parking lot but many of those people were older and had homes. Those chargers also caused a lot of drama. People would unplug other peoples cars, the other people would send videos from their Tesla to corporate security. I would just park my old ICE truck near the front door since I got to work early.
This is the danger of being informed only by sensational headlines. Nvidia's stock has fully recovered and is again near an all-time high. You seem to be generalizing about "Tech CEOs" — but in this case, GPUs are the advantage. They are necessary to achieve the outcome, and yet they are severely supply constrained. It's smart to overpay now.

Apple did something similar with NAND storage for the iPad mini. They took a bet that could have been wrong. It was not wrong. Competitors had a hard time because of it.
So from what you are saying, there is no way to implement taxes that don't primarily target poor people.
Because you don’t have a direct financial incentive to embezzle funds or sabotage the agency’s mission.

Elon does.

Also, these career employees rose through the ranks based on job performance, and did so regardless of which political party was in charge.
This is _by far_ the biggest concern. I own a home, but it doesn't have a driveway much like the majority of Brits which means I rely on public charging for my EV.

In the UK, electricity supplied to your home is charged at a 5% rate of VAT. You can also take advantage of cheaper overnight energy tariffs that keep the price per kWh down to £0.03-0.05. Public chargers will charge a minimum of £0.55 up to £1 per kWh which includes 20% VAT.

That'll need to change for mass adoption here.
I'd expect pretty much all the internals are not from the US. Most of them seem to have AMD chips and NVIDIA graphic cards. I'd be shocked if the motherboards, RAM, drives, etc. are manufactured in the US.

It seems one of the least complicated parts of the system, the case, is actually made in the US.
Rich people don't pay income taxes. They pay capital gains taxes. They typically don't have income, or very little income compared to capital gains.
The point of a progressive tax structure isn't just lower taxes on the poor and "middle class". It's also to incentivize the wealthy to keep their money moving instead of hoarding it. High tax rates on the wealthy and businesses during the mid-20th century are the reason why the US was an economic powerhouse. It forced companies to invest in capital and labor, and therefore report "lower" income and take capital investment tax write-offs, instead of stock buybacks.
The goal of tariffs is to gradually replace (or supplement) income taxes with a Value-Added Tax (VAT). In the current political climate, implementing a flat 20% VAT all at once would be unrealistic. Instead, economists are introducing it incrementally.

Is VAT a better system? Arguably, yes—given that the majority of countries worldwide have adopted it as their preferred taxation model.
In her autobiography, Helen Keller describes memories from her childhood, before she was taught to communicate, so it would seem language isn't necessarily a prerequisite for memory formation.
Pretty much all the pinch points encountered were things visible and could have been through about at the start of the project. They've done this 9 times before, you need a wrench/pliers to put the hoses on. It needs to drain (also that drain cover likely needed a only a flathead screw driver to remove. Drilling it out leaved burrs and usually they are designed to be popped out with a little force.) They lived in 9 places and don't have a drill that can chuck in a small hole saw. Seems surprising. But I guess the point is you don't know what you don't know.
You and virtually nobody else. Hell, I’m not even convinced you would given the option.
> Even if apartment complexes start adding chargers the renters may have to eat that cost as part of their rent for some period of time.

Homeowners also have to eat the cost of installing a charger and paying for electricity.

I think you’re exaggerating the issue. Many people charge at apartments, rental houses, or work and it’s only becoming more common.

The claim that younger generations will never afford homes has also been extremely exaggerated. Millennial home ownership rates are actually quite high and growing, not far from previous generations. Houses are more expensive, but claiming entire generations won’t afford homes is just doomerism.
> 30+ years ago, Christian thought was the dominant force in society.

I wonder what happens to the old homes. Are homes being razed on a massive scale? If the population almost doesn't grow anymore, and some houses are still being built, where the heck all those house disappear? Owners or renters, but SOMEONE has to be living there.
Thank you! So nice to see it's something others were looking into as well. And these are great ideas, I'll add them to the list. Could you specifically clarify on the grouping? I already show time spent by tag - anything you're missing? Thanks again :)
I've had similar symptoms since college, and they continually worsened for a long time while I ignored them. After a few years of trying different solutions and doctors, I've found a satisfactory set of treatments.

The only Orthopaedic doctor with impactful advice happened to have a daughter with the same issue. Loose ligaments required stabilizer muscles to work overtime. Her solution: supported strength training exercises to build up the larger muscles so they can compensate. For the next 6 months, I worked out 5 times a week, and the symptoms practically disappeared. I was able to work 8 hours at my computer with very little strain - compared to just 30 minutes at the start. The symptoms returned about a month after falling out of the routine.

Other treatments that helped:

Ergonomics - I use the Logitech ergonomic keyboard and vertical mouse. These have been great. I avoid using the mouse as much as possible, and use keyboard shortcuts + vimium browser extension to navigate.

Compression Gloves - Just like the author, I also found that long sleeves help somewhat. But not nearly as much as the cheap, fingerless compression gloves I get off Amazon. Between these and the ergonomic peripherals, my symptoms are generally under control, so I struggle to find motivation to continue my workouts.

Relaxing Muscles - When using a phone or game remote, support your wrist (and perhaps elbow) on a pillow. Avoid tightening your muscles - this is tricky when playing intense games. Stop doom scrolling.

YMMV, I am not a doctor, these subjects are complicated and actively researched
Ah, it's MPEG-LA again, the reason why we can't have nice things.
There are other mechanisms than revenue generation at play. That's not to say I'm supporting the tariff, but people who don't want to pay income taxes will support just about any other model regardless of the other effects.
Stefan Sperling does a great work on the OpenBSD side.
For context, there are a bit under 300 million IVE vehicles on the road in the US, compared to a bit over 3 million EV's.

I'm sure the eventually there will be a shift, but I doubt it's going to be soon, and it certainly won't be a flood of 5 year old Teslas.

They would only hike the price by $50, not just blanket 10% for no reason.

The CEO called out 10% because the tariffs themselves are higher % of COGS.
Ooh. I never thought this from tariffs. Now it makes perfectly sense.

This is my experience too.

I think it also really accelerates learning of a new language or framework, when that language or framework is really well documented on the web. For novel programming frameworks, obviously it's a bit more challenging to get help from an LLM.

One of more recent attempts at using LLM code assist was to try to fix a bug in a Swift SSH Agent's connection handling that was causing hangs. I know zero Swift, much less the networking frameworks. So I pumped the output of `tree` on the git repo into the LLM, asked for which file likely handled connections, and it found it right away. That's probably 15 minutes saved. Before putting in the file I asked for likely reasons for deadhangs, got that list, then put in the Swift file that handled connections, and it pointed to what the likely problem was. That's probably 1 hour+ of reading documentation to try to figure out what the code was doing wrong with the networking framework, assuming the LLM was not hallucinating. And that "not hallucinating" probability is high enough in my experience that I spend >50% of my time trying to verify I'm not getting bullshitted.

The LLM proposed a fix (~10-20 minute savings), but even as somebody who doesn't use Swift it seemed like >99% chance that it had just introduced a bunch of race conditions in the data structures it used to track connection status. So I asked about it, and it said "Oh yeah of course how could I forget" and then significantly complicated the solution with something that I thought looked like it probably worked. But was the LLM just being obsequious or was it correct the first time? So hard to tell...

So in about 20 minutes I probably accomplished in a language I didn't know, in a code base I didn't know, about 2 hours+ of learning.

But if I knew the language, it would have saved me very little time, and may have cost me some time.

Maybe I'm alone in this, but despite being able to afford to, I'm just not going to be buying as much non-essential stuff to avoid funding these tariffs.

Rage is the fuel of the internet, but it’s fundamentally useless when it comes to seeking truth. Social media platforms are engineered to maximize engagement, and the most engaging emotion is anger. This isn’t accidental—outrage drives clicks, shares, and ad revenue. The internet has long been called a “hate machine,” and there’s plenty of truth to that.

This creates an environment where misinformation and emotional appeals spread faster than facts. When discussing complex, non-trivial topics, logic and reason are the only tools that can cut through the noise. But in a system designed to reward outrage, those tools are often drowned out.

I highly recommend Sam Vaknin's talk about Social Media toxicity.

Memory leaks are different from memory safety. What people are talking about is that Rust helps prevent the use of memory that wasn't intended. That's the big win there.

And the beauty is that long term capital gains is capped at 20%. That's a lower overall rate than what my family pays in taxes. The rich got it made.
I am a robotics engineer/scientist and I do shit ton of visualization of all kind of high-fidelity/high-rate data, often in a streaming setting - time series at a few thousand Hz, RGB/depth images from multiple cameras, debugging my models by visualizing many layer outputs, every augmentation, etc.

For a long time, I had my own observability suite - a messy library of python scripts that I use for visualizing data. I replaced all of them with rerun (https://rerun.io/) and if you are someone who think Scipton is exciting, you should def try rerun too!

I use cursor/vscode for my development and add a line or two to my usual workflows in python, and rerun pops up in it's own window. It's a simple pip installable library, and just works. It's open source, and the founders run a very active forum too.

Edit: One slightly related tid-bit that might be interesting to HN folks. rerun isn't that old, and is in active development, with some breaking changes and new features that come up every month. And it means that LLM are pretty bad at rerun code gen, beyond the simple boilerplate. Recently, it kind of made my life hell as all of my interns refuse to use docs and try using LLMs for rerun code generation and come to me with a messy code spaghetti. It's both sad and hilarious. To make my life easier, I asked rerun folks to create and host machine readable docs somewhere and they never got to it. So I just scrape their docs into a markdown file and ask my interns to paste the docs in their prompt before they query LLMs and it works like a charm now.
The fact that capital gains are differently taxed than worker income is further evidence that the game is stacked in favor of the rich.
In 2014 or 2015 I worked with a guy who wanted charging at the office. We didn't have it, so he just started running an extension cord from his car into the building. IIRC they got mad at him not for taking the electricity but because he was leaving the door ajar to do it.

> I have no doubt they will argue the price increase as a result of tariffs, but market prices are and will always be about what the market will tolerate and rarely nothing else.

Only in a market where sellers (either a single seller or a cartel) exercise monopoly power; in a competitive market, market clearing costs are driven down toward zero economic profit by competitive pressure.
I think they're talking about if there are earmarks.
We saw this throughout the pandemic.

Companies used the very real inflationary pressures to increase the cost of their products well beyond what those inflationary pressures alone would require.

There are 2 reasons IMO that led to this working:

1. If every company does it, the normal competitive market pressures to reduce prices don't operate. Normally, every company will only raise prices due to collusion, which would be illegal. But when there's a broad based increase in cost, every company will also raise prices beyond just the absolute values of those costs independently, because companies are judged by their margins more than they are by absolute numbers. This is not illegal but the effect is the same.

If in your example, Acer sells 1000 laptops, they originally made $1mm in revenues, with $500k in costs, leading to $500k in gross profits and a gross profit margin of 50%.

If their costs increase by 50%, they need to increase their selling price by $100 to maintain those margins. $1.1mm revenue, with $550k costs, leading to $550k gross profits for a gross profit margin of 50%.

If, however, they increase their Selling price only by the cost, their new selling price will be $1050, for revenues of $1.05mm, costs of $550k, gross profits of $500k, but gross profit margins declining to $500/$1050 = ~47.6%.

The decline in gross profits will hurt their stock price and their valuations (if private) significantly.

2. Consumer pressure. The other reason companies do not easily increase prices with higher costs is negative publicity. Pandemic related inflation, and now tariffs, give them an easy way to explain the reason for the price increases to their consumers and avoid facing any backlash directly.

What did surprise me with the pandemic, which will likely be true with the tariff increases, is that once the companies did increase their selling prices after the pandemic, even though their costs then subsequently dropped, they did not drop prices, across the board.

And the result were the record breaking profits companies have been declaring.

serious question - why do people believe the rich don't pay their fair share when the top 10% pay almost 3/4 of the income taxes. there's no way the top 10% receive 3/4 of the services, thus they're paying proportionally more, no? I am not saying this is good or bad, just trying to understand the rhetoric.

it seems to me that rich people already pay plenty:

> Unfortunately, the taxes in question are also targeting imports from Canada and Mexico, two countries that are firmly in the US sphere of influence

It is a negotiation tactic with those two countries. It is meant to get changes on issues like border security, but also fairness given existing tariffs are often unbalanced. But also, there are a lot of imports from those countries that are basically Chinese tariff evasion.

> Why the heck is electricity so expensive?

You’re paying for charging, not electricity. They charge what the market will bear.

Right now they can charge what they want because you don’t have many alternatives.

That said, CA electricity prices are high for a number of reasons. They have a lot of regulations for building anything. The red tape you have to work through to get anything built in CA is completely out of control, so anything requiring new construction (charging stations included) will have to pay off a lot of up front investment.

60% of US electricity is fossil fuels, and that's one of the higher mixes. Canada is 60% hydro for example

And even if it were 100%, the efficiency of a power plant + electric network + electric car is higher than equivalent petrol transport + petrol car
