Great answer thanks for sharing!
What two pieces of software, if you don’t mind sharing?
I ask because a relative who is a software developer could somehow barely finally leave windows, because of WinSCP, which is, afaik, a GUI for secure copy commands. Why rsync or sftp commands cannot be enough for a software developer without WinSCP was beyond me. But perhaps there is something I don’t know about each of these pieces of software.
If Zucman is a fan, this is great news indeed. A 25% minimum tax on billionaire wealth sounds great, and with broad support, as the article notes (even 51% of Republicans).
Much better news, too, for those of us who only saw this part reported on til now:
The campaign spokesperson called the move—which would still leave the corporate tax rate lower than it was when Trump first took office in 2017—a “fiscally responsible way to put money back in the pockets of working people and ensure billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share.” (emphasis mine)
IIRC, the corporate tax rate was slashed by Trump from 30-something percent, maybe 35%, to something like 18%, so to see that Harris was not interested in reversing this Trump tax cut fully (only to 25%) felt til now like yet another depressing instance of the ratchet effect, where the right does what they do, and neoliberals only undo part of it when they are in power.
Because it’s Zach Beauchamp and he essentially hates the left.
I know everyone is giving you tidy, case-solving “it’s-always-like-this” responses, but indeed you are on to something.
Let the anti-anti corporate work begin (Walz and Harris being the [somewhat] anti-corporate).
Lmao, Silver is equating a Walz pick to a TIM KAINE pick.
I’m sorry, I can’t read any further with sooo much cope.
Is it? I am ready to believe it is, but i guess i was hoping headlines about passing the court
Very well said. Thank you for raising the flaws of technocracy so much better than I could have, though I felt the need to!
I want her to listen to climate experts
Yep!
public health experts
Yep!
economic experts
You lost me.
Economics is just political economy somehow supposedly divorced from politics.
The economics Nobel prize is not even a “real” Nobel prize. No kidding, look it up.
Pretty amazing your father checked all those boxes, and then still developed dementia… My condolences… Just an absolutely horrible disease. Out of curiosity did you ever learn your father’s apoe3 based risk “adjustment” for lack of the correct term? (No pressure to share and certainly no pressure to reveal what that testing came up with) The fact that your father took such good care of himself, exercised his brain, and still developed dementia makes me think there truly must be strong genetic predisposition(s) for it as well. But it’s also scary to think of how many unaccounted-for deaths might actually be ultimately attributable to things like the Blitz and wwii.
Side question- Do/did you ever come to feel confident you could truly narrow it down to one most likely culprit for causing the dementia? I myself lost a parent to alz, and have come to lay the blame on a handful of different possibilities (although truth be told they could all be sort of summarized by something like late stage capitalism or capitalist alienation, or something. I wonder how relatable it is to waffle around endlessly between thoughts that “this is what probably most contributed to it… no this… (months/years later) no this”
It’s rough not being able to point to what truly, certainly went wrong and caused such suffering.
These kinds of well-needed comments full of doubts and questions of what all was controlled for in the research and whether confounding variables remained, the kinds that always come up on reddit and now (hooray!!) lemmy, make me wonder whether research could in some cases be dramatically improved by letting the internet loose on the research hypothesis ahead of time instead of once the paper is published.
Scientists: “In our study, we will evaluate whether a is correlated with an increase in b. We will control for w, y, x, and z.
The internet/reddit/lemmy: “You absolute imbeciles. Did it not occur to you to control for α, β, and gamma through omega?!
Scientists: well, we will certainly consider all those and do our best to do so now!
I am jack’s complete pikachu face
