Well, yeah, I’m with you, but, you don’t need a transformer. You need a HF short. That’s easy. You can hook up a common conductor any way you want, connect as many independent channels as you want, put a big resistor from signal to ground a

What is ‘neoliberal’ thinking? Seems like a made-up word.

What was the profit motive behind hiring her? I’m not challenging; I’m genuinely interested and baffled by these moves. I’d like to understand that chain of logic that ends in money.

Come on, man... Literally funding real-life, no joke, international criminals and terrorists. A private citizen would be in Gitmo for life for this. The economy keeps bending away from honest people, and toward varying degrees of collusion,

Why exactly do ‘we’ ‘need’ a wealth tax? Either you’re making several leaps of faith about how much good that money would do, or you just hate anybody that has something you don’t. But... I will admit that it could make more sense to pay th

This is literally just revoking Trump’s cyber security actions against TikTok, WeChat, and Huawei, and ordering agencies to deliver a report in 180 days.

I do not understand on-chip wireless. Why build an antenna for each channel? You could just multiplex high-impedance RF into any common wire with and it’s the same thing.

There are some very stupid things in that article. I ignored them. There were some good points: 1. Proof of the hypocrisy of top billionaires lobbying for higher taxes on their competition. 2. The typical American pays almost twice as much

Sorry; I'm not making myself clear. The current tax law makes it very possible to pay taxes on lost money. My perspective is that this is horrible policy. A simple example is an equity distribution that sells for less than taxes owed o

At some point they may have paid taxes on that $2B asset distribution, but of course they still have it, so maybe they took out a $1B loan to pay the IRS. Now they sell the asset, and they are lucky that it fetches $1B, enough to pay the lo

Your comment made me realize something. The government is funded by taxes and bond sales. Bond purchases absorb high interest rate demand across the entire market. If there weren't any taxes, there would be higher interest rates. So ta

You can follow this logic all the way down: - tax on wealth - tax on growth - tax on capital gains - tax on dollar deposits - tax on spending - tax on value-added - tax on labor Oh wait, that doesn't work at all. - no tax Which is the

Nope. $3000 yearly passive loss exemption. Let's say you operate a business netting you $1B and then buy a $1B pokemon card, which you sell for $0. You owe tax on $1B - $3000.

Tax is obsolete. You won't fix it with more.

And it will never change! Taking things requires force. Force only works against the powerless. That’s tautological. And also tautologically, if you’re benefitting from the use of force, it’s because you are powerful, and you are exploiting

Hmm.. I wonder why we have problems. Well, maybe it's because we're taking half the money and giving it to the billionaire class. And no, your new tax idea won't work. If you plan to take anything from anybody, you're go

This is not about cryptocurrency, but smart contract transparency, which actually has very little to do with cryptography. There are standard interfaces like ERC-20 and ERC-721, and there are marginally-standard contract templates like Open
