Are you talking about wealth tax or income tax? Your comment doesn’t make much sense to me. In all places i know - income tax is already progressive enough. It never regresses. > Piketty has several books on the subject you can read Ther

You’re writing familiar words and letters but they don’t make any sense when put together

Whatever scheme you will think is “fair” - Besos, not you, will find a way around it. But thousands of middle class and small business owners will bear the burden while dumb marxists keep complaining about their free lunch.

I’ll answer deeper question “why” if you don’t mind. Wikipedia itself has become corrupted and politically and ideologically biased in past years. It has been shown multiple times. When you stop pursuing the truth and start pursuing an agen

Once you’re big you are not hungry anymore and you have something to loose, hence you face a fundamental choice either you risk to win, or you play safe to not loose what you’ve got. Most gigants choose the second obviously. People capable

With all due respect if you consider ideas that llm gives you back as “novel” or same/better quality than your own, then your own were not novel and not great to begin with. Therefore you didn’t really loose nor gain anything except a

I’m happy every time takented people leave bad company. Now they’re are free to create their own thing or join someone not as rotten as ms. To be fair it looks like a rational decision from ms perspective. If being #1 in game engines is not

I think hn is still heavily influenced by Silicon Valley, so your guess is absolutely correct.

We don’t take our cities sound and light pollution seriously. I bet it plays important role in all the anxiety and other popular health issues rising.

LLMs are only as good as the average codebase they were trained on. What else did you expect?

No, not specific timestamp. My point is that on average within a single generation lifespan all things considered US has always been at least in top 10, often leading the list. And that is not an easy achievement that so many tiktok-minded

It depends on what exact period of time you look at. And how deep you look for all hidden tensions and unresolved conflicts of interests waiting its time (in europe for example). Also you will have hard time arguing about _total collapse_ i

How easy it is to put all tge dogs on a vehicle, rather than on drivers. If you ban a truck - the asshole driving it will just buy bmw instead. Don’t you see? Why all the good people have to suffer?
