I hear you, and i agree. I don’t understand how to achieve it though, a tax on net worth, with brackets starting at 100 million? Wouldn’t they just move their money over a place that would hide it?

The percentage seemed arbitrary and it being retroactive seemed excessive and unnecessary.

What?! 3% We pay 8.79% on our income here. Three seems low.

I feel like no facebook in canada would be a net positive, especially after reading “Carless people”. I don’t even think that would happen, it’s not like these companies can’t afford it, they just don’t want to set a precedent, and they spent all that money on trump!

I use an adblocker and pirate most my stuff so no one is making money off me.

You never use Amazon? I also use an adblocker and a pihole i think i see relatively fewer ads, i still see them.

The one negative i can think of coming out of this is the companies passing the tax on to us, i suspect that wouldn’t happen.

the parent of this thread thinks it’s stupid, and got up voted but like zero explanation. Looking at their post history they don’t seem like a bot

I don’t get the hate, it seems like about time these ultra rich companies paid some taxes?

Why is dst stupid?

Go has an idiom like so https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/blob/8da4386caceb3fdfaa90074bb29c77e8a99c7dad/api/kv_test.go#L27, when i mention name i’m referring to that string.

I get what your saying, we’ve all worked in terrible code bases, i’ve also worked in code bases where this kind of article was enforced. What you wound up with was something that was very wordy.

Almost always use parameterized style tests, always have a name field, I don’t use full sentences tho, that seems like too much. Don’t believe I’ve ever seen a test like that either

These toy examples feel like strawmen to me

This is incorrect.

You should read a summary of “capital in the twentieth century” , a famous book by an economist that asserts mathematically that taxation of the wealthy is the solution for this issue.

“Also tarrifs are a leftist thing”

This kind of talk helps no one, and asserts something that is practically unassertable. Even if we could split the world evenly in two between left and right and at some point the left were the first to propose tarrifs there’d be so little relation to today as to be useless

My gut says go multi cluster (or not) at that pointbut treat the remote as a service, have a local container be a proxy

Thank you! This is like the one thing it should have had

It seems like your ignoring that this will encourage tipping, that has tended to lower wages, as seen in USA. It doesn’t seem like this is perfect or good

Takeover the complete control of the car?

Maybe not complete control, but maybe taking away breaks yes: https://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/

Miller and Valasek’s full arsenal includes functions that at lower speeds fully kill the engine, abruptly engage the brakes, or disable them altogether. The most disturbing maneuver came when they cut the Jeep’s brakes, leaving me frantically pumping the pedal as the 2-ton SUV slid uncontrollably into a ditch.

We don’t realistically have enough global political power to apply any political pressure either.

Right, so why bother, it seems like we are just hurting canadians by having tariffs on evs

As stated in another comment Conrad Black was pardoned by trump. So he’s interested in making trump ok. IMO lemmy shouldn’t link to national post.

Also i imagine what magats would say if a foreign head of state called him governor.

Fuck you conrad black, you are a piece of shit, who’s had everything handed to you on a plate, and still turned out to be an asshole.

For the lazy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_Black#Pardon

I feel like they def have issues, Taiwan, Tibet, Uyghurs, human rights record, general authoritarianism.

They also seem to have a better climate change story than anyone in north america, and USA has totally shown itself to be a mercurial alley.

I don’t see what advantage high tariffs have on something we want more of (EV’s). If the standards suck, then I’m ok with bringing them up to standard and charging for that.

Making this an either or “they are or aren’t our enemies” seems unnecessary, when we could buy their things and put pressure on them to do better on the things at the top.

Aren’t there penalties for breaking contract?

provincial and federal governments announced more than $22.3 million in funding to bring high-speed Internet

Can we get our 22.3 million + interest back then? Seems like it might be time to make it a public company again.

Bell Canada parent company BCE awarded its executives more than $5 million after announcing it was laying off 4,800 employees.

Fuck this company

How soon i forget

Or like Ukraine in 2022

I concur, it’s not false, but it’s hard to call it true

from radio-canada.ca

When you include non-profit housing built by others with federal government help, it’s more like 3,742 houses.

But it’s hard for Poilievre to take responsibility for the 200,000 homes he says were built when he was minister. In the 2015-16 fiscal year, 194,461 homes were built in Canada in total, including by private developers.
