Dependencies of your dependencies! Imagine installing a library that depends on a couple dozen libraries in its own right. You may not have time to inspect every single node in the dependency graph.

the us constitution limits the sorts of taxes the federal government can impose in article i, section 9, clause 4: No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken.

that was modified by the sixteenth amendment: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

taxes are considered direct if they're laid on people or property rather than transactions. there are scholars who think that the amendment was unnecessary, i think on the principle that income counts as a taxable transaction. that's the rule that allows inheritance taxes. but i don't see how you can stretch that to cover wealth; i'm in favor of a wealth tax, but i do think it probably needs an amendment

I guess it would seem like it makes sense if you start with the beliefs that 1) it's unfair that poor people pay less taxes and 2) poor people are poor because they're sitting around being lazy rather than working, and then you don't really think it through at all.

So basically, the average fox news viewer or hn poster would probably like it.

injured? buy a new body resembling your old one for 1.8 million dollars, or purchase one of our ad-supported standard models in exchange for 20% 50% 90% of your waking hours of slave labor for the next 40 years. clones with functioning tear ducts are an optional add-on. clones with genitals are an optional add-on. clones that do not experience seizures upon witnessing the logo of our competitors are an optional add-on. clones that do not have advertisements tattooed on their flesh are an optional add-on. clones that do not livestream their experiences for continuous customer feedback are an optional add-on

wanna exist in cyberspace? that'll be $20,000 a month for premium real-time mode, or save money by running at slower rates. sell parts of your memory or entire copies of your corpus to research projects for quick and easy cash! if you can't afford brain-hosting we'll keep you in cold storage for 1 year, during which time you become the legal property of anyone who pays your back-fees. rent any virtual environment you can afford, or use one of our subsidized worlds in which literally every object, texture, printed word, taste or smell is an advertisement

the amazon brain cloud regretfully announces that 80% of our customers have been hacked and illegally copied; we will strive to do better in the future

Swastika is used as a symbol of divinity and spirituality in Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.

I wonder why it'still considered "taboo" in the Western society in the information-age.
