just curious, but why is there always an implicit assumption in this debate that we only tax the wealth of billionaires? is the money of a half billionaire somehow less green than a full billionaire?

or for the ridiculously wealthy to be taxed at a very high rate. which is why they reject the notion of UBI so fervently.

is anyone else using cloudwatch? we aren’t logging huge amounts but i can’t tell if im missing something from the rest of this thread…

the glib answer is that every election is a decision on that politician’s age or term limit, which is almost certainly the position SCOTUS would take here. in reality, the advantages of the incumbent in an era of safe districts, where the r

imagine you’re working in a highly regulated field. because of these regulations, you need to have absolute control over the development environment which is exactly as oppressive as it sounds, so you want to do your best to preserve the fl

That's true of code developed in the absence of a working agreement. What GP meant, I assume, was that in _most_ cases, when you freelance or contract with a business with a MSA or other contract, that contract is going to specify that

i mean, you might care if the investors you’re trying to woo for that bridge round figure out your churn is a lot higher than you’re willing to admit… or worse, your traction is terrible.

as you said, this is a decades-long running debate, and pretty much every argument has been heard, ad nauseum. That makes this "valid concern" a pretty low-quality reply. The first freedom that GPL-lovers have is whether or not to

it’s supposed to be hard. not impossible. and it’s pretty clear at least to me that the authors of the constitution very clearly intended presidents like trump to be thrown out of office.

i think the thrust of the courts opinion today is that it’s not at all clear what’s official and what’s not and even if you can delineate what’s official, prosecutors are unable to use anything that isn’t public record and “unofficial” in t

Have you got a citation for that? I've not seen anything that indicates the drug itself is addictive, though there's ample evidence that its effects wane quickly after discontinuation of therapy.

right there with you, pal… but honestly, it shouldn’t be a difficult concept for people to grasp. if a bird shit on your arm, would you wipe it off with a dry paper towel?

there’s at least some municipalities that are essentially bribing employers with tax incentives to RTO to prop up dependent businesses like restaurants.

oh yes, it’s definitely outside the realm of possibility that there could have been fundamental shifts in the economy and consumer expectations that make it impossible to roll back the clock to a time when eventgoers just showed up and hope

same thing happens in any language or platform with less than billions of OSS code to train on… in some ways i think LLMs are creating a “convergent API” in that they seem to assume any api available in any of its common languages is availa
