This is even easier to tax dodge because you just pay cash and do stuff off the books. Regressive taxation schemes don’t take into account the disproportionate advantages that the wealthy get from having sound infrastructure provided by the

There’s no way for taxation to not focus on the wealthy, they have all of the disposable income. You could try raising taxes on the bottom 80% who live their entire lives in debt, but you can’t squeeze water from an stone, and it’s better f

I mean, that’s not clear. It may be that anything which would obviously be interpreted by an outside viewer as “weird simulation stuff” would just be “advanced physics” to us. Odd glitches would get rationalized away, in that manner. (The k

This is basically scientists re-discovering the "evil demon" / "brain in a vat" and not realizing it's kind of a tautological fallacy. If life is a simulation, you can set an arbitrary boundary on how good you

If you were a puddle, you would be prone to think “gee, this hole is the perfect shape for me.” When it turns out you’d fit any shape hole we put you in given sufficient quantity of water. Because the hole determines your shape, not an intr

I find that getting good exercise also helps me think. I feel more creative and happy if I’m getting my 30 minutes a day. But it’s also about discipline, this sort of thing can only be accomplished with discipline, which is what really lets

You get a bad rating and get fired as a driver, presumably. My guess is that the pay is now so bad that Uber can’t find enough drivers so bad drivers go unpunished.

I find the programming that I do for work to be fun. I consider this one of the blessings of the career for me. Solving/reproducing bugs and deciphering other people’s code is intellectually stimulating similar to sudoku or crossword p

So A is giving you 7k more money after healthcare and signing bonus for the first year, and 17k more for subsequent years. B gives you a one time 20k (dollars?) worth of stock options. I would take the cash, how many years do you want to st

I would expect it to be mentioned on the project page if that were the case. It's also possible that there are only so many ways to design a nice looking mask that puts something in front of your nose. So it could be coincidence.

It was part of their branding, Apple stuff is for creative people, it lets them get shit done. Now it’s more of a status symbol, I’ve got an apple rather than a crappy generic android or think pad.

You can make an argument that a workforce which can’t afford proper housing, healthcare or food is less effective (and therefore more expensive) than one that is paid more and has a decent standard of living. You can also argue that a compa

And frankly, it must be stopped. We can’t have loads and loads of space junk floating around in near earth orbit. Space isn’t the internet, you “can’t move fast and break things,” and you can’t just create more of it. We have to be careful

No it doesn't. The regulations in China are immoral. Obeying immoral laws is also immoral. (If the law says 'gas the [ethnic group]' it is still wrong to do it). If Google must follow immoral laws to operate in China, they sh

What do you think the purpose of the British East India company was? They were trying to make a buck through trade with India. How exactly are you denying that ? It's even in the name. They ended up using force to install their own go

That could just be correlation. India and China were doing fine until the Europeans came and subjugated them. There was some upheaval when the Europeans left and created a power vacuum. Shockingly, being conquered and ceded and the related

There are good people and bad people. Sometimes bad people do bad things. Like they bring bad stuff across the border, or bring people across the border and do bad things to those people. We want to punish the bad people for doing bad thing
