Would the USA be better off by taxing people like Elon based on some percentage of his wealth? Does that include only his cash holdings, or real estate, or vested stock, or options, or other non-liquid assets and investments? Or is it bette

Android Studio recommends versions of Amazon's Corretto distrubutions. That could be a JetBrains IDE feature though, not certain.

There is no evidence to suggest that Satoshi is a woman. Other writings refer to Satoshi as a 'he' without issue.

I'm not missing your point. I'm arguing that your point is wrong. Satoshi is a he, and should be referred to as a he, not a they.

I'm not being an anti-trans culture warrior with this argument. My point is that this post is made less clear and harder to read by referring to Satoshi as 'they' whenever possible. I am being anti-political-correctness becau

Thank you for understanding what I'm trying to get at. It's unfortunate that so many other people here fail to grasp the harm that this is doing to written and spoken English.

The Fandom site layouts recently got a lot worse and harder to use. For example, search used to be an easily accessible text field - simple and quick to use. Now they all have that ugly Fandom bar on the left, with a search icon that opens

Very interesting! Can I assume this would work with the Windows Subsystem for Linux? The Windows directions aren't filled in there.

The recent Mac OS releases are all named after places in California, so the spelling seems consistent here.

All I care about is being able to remove advertisements. I don't care about any of these new features. Can just I pay $X.99 a month to not see ads on Twitter?

It's unreasonable to want more data and longer term studies before making a decision to take one of these vaccines? It's barely been a year. We all hope they're great, but it should remain a choice.

Isn't it reasonable to have the option to opt-out of taking these vaccines, in the absence of more complete data and longer-term trials?

My point is that you can have both, but rich people have the means to be more 'effective' with their altruism (EDIT: across a wider population).

A single poor person may be able to have a large impact on ~dozens of people, but even a small impact on millions of people is likely more valuable and 'altruistic' in terms of effect. But again, both paths should be encouraged. T

This reads like a strawman perspective on the concept of 'effective altruism.' The 'effective' part in the term is doing a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to the definition. It seems reasonable to focus on actuall

If you look at the average height differences from pre-modern humans to today, I think it's fair to say that the majority of them were malnourished. EDIT: And when I say 'pre-modern' humans I mean 'pre-modern era' a

If an employee's impact is more valuable, why shouldn't that employee demand to be paid more? If a job or position is less valuable, why shouldn't that position be paid less?

That's an obvious false equivalence. While technically 'unnatural' refrigeration is not 'invasive and risky.' The vast majority of pre-modern humans were likely starving or malnourished, and those problems are mostl

Wait, why is the advice to 'do something invasive, risky, and unnatural' when the actual advice should be 'have children when you're younger, not older.'

How is it that Pornhub comes under scrutiny for under-age pornography by 'unverified' accounts, but Reddit and other sites don't have real counter-measures? Remember the Reddit 'Jailbait' and 'Creepshots'

Could we have done this before we destroyed a significant percentage of small businesses with lockdowns? And what's the mortality rate for otherwise healthy people? Greater than 99.9%?
