Well, I'm not sure there's any definition that's going to come straight from first principles, but I see a wealth tax as something closer to the way we tax corporations, which is to tax "profit" not "revenue&qu

Did this blog post just try to coin the phrase "one thing" in place of the clearer and well-known "single point of failure"?

Counter argument. https://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21731626-case-taxing-... In my opinion, a wealth tax (of which estate tax is one example) is much fairer than an income tax. It is somewhat difficult to lev

The article says 30% of what humans consume, so I think that means 30/130 = 23% of "all" meat products. (Where "all" is human plus pets.)

No, if such a startup sued FB, then would end up being a legal user of React under the BSD license, which does not terminate.

That may be what was said in a discussion, but it is incorrect. If your company sues Facebook for a patent, then you lose the extra patent grant , which means you would have only the original BSD license. Which is what ASF seems to want

That's the power of defaults. Italy changed to an opt-out program for donation, rather than opt-in.

Sure, I'm no lawyer, but I think I can state fairly confidently that this patent, http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=H... , does NOT cover the popular spinners of today.

Thanks for pointing this out. I didn't even notice that weird frisbee looking thing on first read. Those are not, or at least should not, be covered by the same patent.

Impressive job replying to what seems like a hatchet job, without losing his cool. But my favorite part: The next React will allow returning an array of components without a div wrapper. Small change, but it annoyed me to no end that it wa

Is it really worth saying that Lotto winners "Identified the correct lottery numbers"? It's true, I guess. But it doesn't really have any value, if that's all you mean. (And yes, I understand that you agree with t

This seems like a junk experiment. They asked people to perform a task that would be easier if you had some information. Then they started showing them videos. The subjects stopped watching when they had enough inspiration for their stor

That last part seems to really put a damper on things, since the problem the author describes is that a person with a hearing aid requires speakers to take turns. Apparently, when people speak together, the multiple voices clash. Even if

He was reporting a deed. You are accepting Paula Jones comments as fact of a deed, but you are not accepting Trump's own self-report of his behavior as a deed. Remember that the tape also contained him saying things like, "I can&

React Native has been moving to give common modules common names across iOS and Android. That seems great, because it's easier to share code. I wonder why there isn't a simple set of wrappers for HTML widgets, using the React Na

Why is electromagnetic spectrum special? A convention center couldn't put poison in their air, couldn't stab people, couldn't libel anyone, couldn't cook meth, and couldn't produce patented pharmaceuticals in their

Right, I'd really like to know about the "random" process that assigned students to classrooms. I know that when I was in elementary school the assignments were theoretically random, but if parents really wanted to influence

Oddly, the article addresses Disney, but does so by saying that the photographer says there a difference. Except the difference is something about being indoors? Surprise twist, there's actually no difference, but the man has to sell

I was just struck at how Trumpian this sounds: "If there’s any doubt about that with our teams, let me be very clear: we have great desktops in our roadmap. Nobody should worry about that." Though I also notice the Obamian "l

I don't have an opinion on whether zestimates are accurate. But this blog post has 9 samples from only 3 cities. And the author seems to be making claims based on that. This is a lame "thought leadership" post as a subtle

Yeah, kind of true. But Apple not letting others implement iMessage is pretty similar. (I'm sure I could come up with examples for almost every other tech company as well.) I admit it feels weird that GNU is doing it, since the others

This seems almost exactly like all of React. These components do have state, just like a React component. If you're talking about how the state is changed, then now you're not talking about React. You're talking about redux

I don't see how this could possibly work even a little bit without Javascript. What would you fall back to? A static hunk of HTML? That could only work in the very specific case of a custom control that happens to have exactly the s

Does it remove it and redirect? If not, you're fine. I think that's why something like this is chosen. Your (server) app will rightly ignore that query parameter, but you'll probably still serve up the page. React is clie

Then maybe it works the other way. Can Tesla charge business owners? It would be surprising if the correct pricing is zero, not positive or negative.

What's interesting is that he did two things. 1) Spent about $1000 on light meters, domains, logo, upwork. and 2) Talked to a couple people, for free, that made him realize the idea can't work. (This conversation did not use any

It still wouldn't have been worth reading though. If an article uses a click-baity question, but acknowledges that its premise is a dumb one that people have used for years, that doesn't forgive it and suddenly make it a worthwhi
