It’s OK, even if you could read you’d still be disappointed with this meme.
- Comment on The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily 4 weeks ago:
We need a tax system where the government figures out how much they need each year, and then just takes it proportional to net wealth above a certain amount.
That’s exactly how property taxes work if you replace “net worth” with “assessed property value.”
(As opposed to what some people think, that rising property values on their own lead to rising property taxes)
So yeah, why the heck not do the same with other forms of wealth?

Sorry I was trying to make a joke. For years I really did think it was primus but it’s just that whoever put it on likewise mislabeled it.

Escape velocity does scale with (square root of) radius so its not a dumb thought.
And I’m not a rocket surgeon but I could imagine earth rockets might be operating near some physical limits that make 50% (or whatever) infrasible.

I think you are using the terms in a colloquial sense whereas i am using a technical sense.
In my view the distinction between a cable and a wire is one of construction, not what it’s carrying.
Wire = a continuous length of conductor electrically connecting one thing to another
Cable = one or more wires, with electrical insulation between them, generally enclosed in an outer jacket suitable for end user handling. It could be transmitting usb data or 32kW at 800V and still be a cable.

Not all cables carry data.

- Comment on Nothing more permanent than a janky solution 2 months ago:
Data is encoded physically by the modulation of electrical characteristics (voltage, frequency, current, phase), which is effected by the motion of electrical charge, which is what we call…current.
- Comment on Nothing more permanent than a janky solution 2 months ago:
Believe it or not, data is carried by current
- Comment on Does importing goods from abroad alone really void sales tax? 2 months ago:
In the US, in states that charge sales tax, the merchant is generally supposed to charge sales tax. And if they don’t, the purchaser is generally supposed to pay a “use tax” that is the same amount as what the sales tax would have been.
The latter pretty much never happens though, because there isn’t the tax infrastructure to do that for individuals.
