If you give it credit for the chain, you need to also notice that that bike has a fixed front wheel. It literally can not be turned.

Yea. Nuclear power is not the same thing as nuclear weapons.

Again: citation needed. A huge chunk of the environmental disaster we are facing is because Europe and the US didn't go the nuclear route like France did in the 60. We could have had this crisis we're having now in a few hundred y

There's a pretty short video in the article from the company itself that answers all that.

Sorry, but that's super weak logic. That's like saying the KKK are perpetrating a genocide against blacks in the US right now. Or Hamas is perpetrating a genocide against the jews in Israel right now. At some point of failure to e

Israel could easily kill a hundred times as many people if they wanted to. Yet they don't.

> The only thing that I personally care about is the ability of ordinary people to build and retain wealth. Why? Just "having wealth" isn't important in itself, it's just a number in a computer. So there is something

I would think the "for entertainment" is in the eye of the beholder, and the production part is irrelevant. In either case, YouTube has never allowed this stuff.

Youtube takes down snuff. News at 11. It doesn't matter if the snuff is an Israeli shooting a Palestinian, or a jihadi beheading a cartoonist. It's all removed because YouTube doesn't accept snuff on its platform.

"doesn't work" for what purpose? It surely has SOME effect. Otherwise people wouldn't be against it.

Ok, but after that buyback makes some person richer, what happens then? They can't put that money into a bank account and hoard it because then inflation will eat it slowly. They have to reinvest it into the stock market or something f

But... money becomes more money precisely because it's invested into companies that sell products and services that people buy, and use most of that money to pay employees, office rent, factories etc. Or in other words: money grows if

Sure. But that's my point. It's the output of the tax system that matters almost entirely. The input being high or low is only relevant if the output is good. If the output is shit, yea, then we should lower the taxes. So we shoul

> The benefits of wealth are exercised long before the inheritance can be applied. Agreed. But isn't that an argument FOR a strong inheritance tax? Because inheritance doesn't actually help your children anyway? That seems like

I'm pretty sure we scrapped it because the conservatives got into power.

You are confusing "if only I get a high inheritance tax" with "if everyone gets a very high inheritance tax". The inheritance tax has to go somewhere. It could go into science and infrastructure and then everyone gets ri

I've heard this take a lot and it doesn't make much sense to me. How exactly are ultra rich "hoarding wealth instead of spending it"? Afaik most of the net worth of the ultra rich is in ownership of companies (stocks) or

Given the incentives here, I'd bet this is mathematically identical to throwing dice and firing people.

The issue with Swift IS the type theory. Constraint solvers are by definition going to be harder to reason about and have longer execution time than just declaring the type.

As one of the developers of iommi I can confidently say that seasoned Django developers will be very confused by the iommi code base heh. We do things quite differently, for good and ill. I wrote about this here: https://kodare.n

That Chris Lattner is taking a very different approach to the type checker in Mojo is afaik due to this kind of thing.

Thanks. I've thought about extracting it, but I think it's a lot of work unless you want to support only Django and rST which is what we're using. At least the iframe part is very specific to the web framework.

There's an example app too: https://github.com/iommirocks/iommi/tree/master/examples I've had mixed success with Claude. It keeps adding too much display_names to everything for example which i
