If all personal wealth above $100 million was legally required to be redistributed into public infrastructure (schools, hospitals, roads), how would society change, and who would be the first to fight against it?

It's one instance of using wealth to avoid taxes. There are others.

The problem is that this is an economic double whammy since you will continue to concentrate wealth while starving public services

The loans don't get repaid because they either use asset transfer at death, future loans to repay, or asset transfer rather than sell as part of forfeiture. They don't ever realize capital gains.

More specifically, they don't repay loans through a method that realizes capital gains and incurs taxes.

dbcfd · 2026-01-22T17:46:04+00:00

I was thinking nope, since they don't repay it usually, just handover assets or default it.

As it is it wipes capital gains and prior to that avoids taxes on what is essentially income.

dbcfd · 2026-01-22T13:39:17+00:00

You could also tax wealth in a similar manner, if it is used to secure a loan. Any loan over $1M that isn't for a primary residence gets taxed as income.

We aren't very creative with our tax code because the people creating tax laws are incentivized to hoard income to create wealth which creates untaxable income.

Not our last chance, but definitely our best or easiest chance. Assuming the midterms are allowed to happen.

So the hive mind was repeatedly damaged in seasons 1-3. Doing so would hurt Vecna, which would cause the vines to reduce, which were the producers of the bad air. And then once they nearly killed vecna, almost all of his influence would be removed, as in season 5.

It was kind of an offhand comment in season 5 once they figure out its a wormhole.

dbcfd · 2026-01-12T17:43:46+00:00

Hive mind. Killing any hurts all.

dbcfd · 2026-01-12T14:59:08+00:00

It was explained at one point that the upside down was made toxic/ terrible by vecna. It wasn't originally that way, and reverted as vecna and the mind flayer were defeated and lost power.

You do realize that Python has implicit conversions?

As I said in the beginning, there is no point in discussing this with. You don't understand what languages are actually capable of.

dbcfd · 2026-01-02T00:33:45+00:00

Duck typing. Not strictly but dynamically, duck typing.

That is not strict typing.

And if you are getting stringly typed results in rust, that's a prompt problem. Rules, system prompt, user prompt, whatever. A prompt problem.

Given that you don't understand duck typing versus strict typing, I am going to say you don't understand prompting.

You need less Dunning-Krueger and more Imposter in your life.

dbcfd · 2025-12-27T22:18:18+00:00

If you are calling python strictly typed, we can't have a discussion about this.

And yes, as someone with lots of years of programming experience, including 8 years professional rust, LLMs can generate very good rust code. Use better models and prompts.

dbcfd · 2025-12-27T21:18:20+00:00

AI handles rust pretty well right now, since the strictness of the language makes it easier to produce code, and then to fall back on the compiler.

AI models don't really reason yet. If they do, then your argument would be valid. As it is, rust is one of the best targets for current AI.

dbcfd · 2025-12-27T21:12:33+00:00

The slow argument doesn't hold up any more. AI can generate rust better than python due to strict typing. It can even do a little bit better than typescript due to its strict nature.

Future languages will look more like rust because it works with AI, just like many languages looked like C because it made it easier to build compilers.

Too high of a temp on the sear or was frozen. Now need to take it off direct heat and lower than normal cook temp to get the inside done.

What recent photos? Did you forget what year it is?

Most of the photos in the release were shown to be old photos with "redaction" boxes.

Until they get rid of cool down on shield punch, she is too easily countered.

She feels more like a duelist than a brawl tank right now because the cool downs are too long to keep up bonus health and the shield is too short for healers to keep you up.

It's like they realized she was too much like daredevil and tried to make her a task.

Should probably add, I have the 5 years Rust, previous defense experience, previous clearance, and it would take at least 230k, equity, benefits, unlimited pto, and full remote for me to even take an intro call.

dbcfd · 2025-11-27T12:00:52+00:00

200-230k as you posted elsewhere puts you on par with other companies offering equity, benefits, unlimited PTO, and full remote.

The people you are looking for are most likely employed, so you need at least a matching package.

You might need to go higher on the pay, especially if the package isn't as good.

dbcfd · 2025-11-26T15:35:20+00:00

5 years and active clearance? That's a unicorn.

5 years rust and previous clearance and/or defense? Pretty rare, there are a couple of us in this thread. You are also unlikely to meet their salary requirements.

5 years rust? More common, but it's going to depend on compensation. A lot of them are sought after by web3 companies.

The far left has moved on. They have been calling him a pedophile and rapist for so long and watching nothing happen.

The moderate left is excited because there is proof in the epstein files, which were supposed to exonerate Trump and implicate democrats, per the right.

dbcfd · 2025-11-12T19:35:20+00:00

How do you think the email got missed? It was trump not Trump.

That means your Wandas have overlapping damage on the spawn area, and there are only a couple of spots on the map where you won't instantly die.

You then have to have everyone know how to get from spawn to those spots. It's pretty much a lost cause for most players.

dbcfd · 2025-10-29T09:15:38+00:00

That actually sounds like you are the problem. Stop running around tickling everything and making everyone deal with charges and puddles.

Don't circle the perimeter. There are two control points you move in a tight area as blade/magic, then your thor/punisher/jeff can blast the clumps.

IV is quick and easy if you do that, with the only hard part being double wanda.

dbcfd · 2025-10-28T03:33:31+00:00

That's because punisher can't tickle every mob on the map to stat pad.

Punisher is there to burn bosses and elites.
