Do you want to talk to your representative or AG in this case? I also have a wild idea: software engineers can actually lobby this change. They form a non profit organization, make contributions (say 10k each) and go…
What stops the highly organized HN crowd from writing a letter to attorney general of washington?
This is an attempt to divert attention from real monopolies like Comcast and healthcare monsters. What we really need in the tech space is UK-style laws to enforce competition between ISPs, GDPR-style laws to protect…
What would that fixed child tax credit be? 75k/year to cover education, healthcare, food? Probably not and it would be closer to 15k. It all depends on what kind of families we want to support: some may be happy with…
Perhaps you know better, but my uneducated guess would be that just an ambulance vehicle costs 15k/month, then every medic costs 10k/month at least and there will be expensive weird things like commercial insurance that…
I disagree. People have less sex in our society for about the same reasons they don't have kids. Contraception makes no difference when men and women don't bother to date each other.
Simple solution: 1%/year tax on wealth and give these money to families with kids. The tricky part is wealth is often stored as shares and if you tax Bezos, he'd have to sell 1% of his shares, thus driving the price of…
Subsidies can be tied up to mortgage: the entire cost of housing can be made deductible from taxes, all expenses related to kids can be reimbursed (by IRS in April: you show checks and they give you money back). On top…
This is a very smart way to organise society, if we think about it: people have to do more and more work to bid against each other for the limited amount of resources. The only flaw is that this reduces birth rate to…
Wait, are you saying that 30k/mo gross is enough to run an ambulance service?
That's right. Or we can resort to the hypothesis that there is a secret society of Jews who despite being average and not in any way smarter than blacks, appear to be surprisingly organised at infiltrating every slice…
I can't use most of the sites at work because of ads and I can't install an adblocker because it would have access to corp data. When I search for something related to work, I know that most of the sites would display…
It depends. Your credit card company knows what you bought and when, while the ad network knows the phone number linked to the PC where the ad was shown. Join the two tables and we can track you to the grocery store.
That's an example what ads should be. They are relevant, appropriate, they don't try to fool you or spy on you.
GRM can be as simple as a corporation owns rights to certain genes and thus owns a part of the income of those who happens to have these genes. Yes, children inherit the genes and thus owe to that company. The GRM…
Basically, the entire world's conspired to promote Ashkenazi: bankers, surgeons, lawyers, acm winners, Nobel prize winners, scientists and mathematicians are all curiously overrepresented by these Jews. If this little…
Right, and 25k is their bi weekly paycheck.
Who is smarter: someone who was frugal, saved a lot of money, retired and died or someone who kept spending everything, got whatever he could get for the money, retired and died with 0 in savings?
TBH, 50k wouldn't help. It's a petty amount of money when it comes to investments. On average you can aim at 3% per year. That should be enough to support your lifestyle which is 30k if you are ok with being frugal.…
IMHO, local sacrifices is a dead end approach because it expects coordinated good will from billions of people. This won't happen: people are as bad as they are allowed to be. The solution should be going after the…
I wonder if this is partially because the people working on AI/ML intentionally don't put enough efforts into this. I'm one of those people and while I'm to increase accuracy of an existing ML model by 0.3% and collect…
I don't believe in "offsetting personal footprint". This idea appeals to personal guilt, while aims at filling the pockets of the founders. The solution should be going after companies who make products that break by…
