Here is a popular press article on it. It is easy to locate github repositories and research groups developing it.

Wasn’t the USA trying to punish countries for circumventing the trade sanctions on Russia? It would be ashame if those countries enforced trade sanctions on those trying to circumvent trade sanctions on Russia.

Thank you!

Yes. It seems there is a need to build in protections from the “brutal shutdowns” early. I don’t have a solution, but it needs to be addressed at the start.

I am sorry you had this experience. It is fairly common.

There is a place for gradually opening people’s eyes to a situation. If one goes too hard too fast, then they will reject any truth presented to them. (It is frustrating that the process starts over for each individual.)

you were never serious about fighting it

Yeah. I just think most people are no where near serious about fighting it. To effectively fight it, the unserious people need to help.

the people who have a minority not coddle them

What does this mean? Why would a minority coddle a majority person?

Messaging matters. The last part encourages United States residences to give up, or join the fascists (“I like my country, so fascists must be great!”). One can just be like “here are ten roots of fascism, try to work with your friends and neighbors to stop doing those”.

a 9.9% income tax on earnings above $1m

advocacy groups and unions opposing the initiative say taxing the state’s 20,000 highest-earning households could raise approximately $3.5bn in necessary annual revenue

Backing out the numbers (also rounding the tax up to 10%), the $3,500,000,000 in revenue is on $35,000,000,000 in income. Spread over 20,000 households and add a million per household for the portion not taxed, that is an average of $2,750,000 in income per household being taxed an additional $275,000.

Seems fair like a fair price for living in a safe and stable community that makes possible earning so much.

Clearly reprehensible, but consider for a moment. Los Angeles and San Diego, at least 20 years ago, were the Republican voting big cities in California. Even if Republicans are not getting that same share of the vote now, there will be many Republican leaning people there. It seems just a shade worse on an already pitch black message.

There are so many other systems. We haven’t even tried most of them in your lifetime.

Thank you. This is great.

Yes. Please list one.

What do you mean? It is great for planning purposes.

I am well versed in it, but “crappy” arguments split both in “too low” and “too high”.

The articles to justify license plate readers have started.

Article goes on to define “illegal ghost plates”:

Ghost plates, on the other hand, show correct details for the vehicle - but they are made up of reflective materials which are difficult or impossible for most ANPR cameras to read.

So adding license plate readers, leads to drivers hiding their license plate, which leads to being “emboldened”, which leads to more crime. Seems the license plate readers are causing “emboldenedness”.

Use the “4% Rule”, this would be an inflation adjusted $200K per year every year (more or less, the “4% Rule” is more of a great observation than a rule).

I would live on a third, give a third to my family, and a third to local organizations.

Pulling forward the first paragraph of the article, as we are far from universally reading articles these days.

Hacker News (aka HN) is a link aggregator where “hackers” gather to discuss technology, politics, and anything which “good hackers would find interesting”. HN is a means by which its host, prominent startup incubator Y Combinator, projects soft power, promotes startups it funds, and feeds people with ideas into its incubation program. Hacker News is one of the most popular forums for discussing technology online today – perhaps the biggest.

Does any know of a pro-union or pro-cooperative startup incubator?

In the USA, but this is actually mostly state by state, if one’s license says they must wear glasses, then they must do so, or risk penalties of some sort. (It mostly doesn’t come up in the media.) If the license doesn’t say anything, then anything goes. Some borderline glasses wearers take the vision test, which is a super simplified test (If one cannot pass the driving vision test then the test taker has horrible vision.), without glasses just to not have to delay driving due to misplaced glasses.

To go further, in the USA, the Drivers License tests establish a very low floor. Obtaining it does not mean one is good at driving, but NOT obtaining it within 3 tries means that person SHOULD NOT be driving. They are a danger to all.

Might mean “silicon”, but might want to bang the LLM. Hard to know.

Words have meaning…

I am not confident that threatening to annihilate a someone and their family is a good way to motivate someone to peacefully negotiate. Some people would back down. Some would not.

See! You don’t need a care for most errands.
