TIL about MapViewOfFile3 and NtMapViewOfSectionEx, thanks! Still, the Microsoft docs say[1]:
> [in, optional] BaseAddress
> The desired base address of the view (the address is rounded down to the nearest 64k boundary).
> [...]
> [in] Offset
> The offset from the beginning of the section.
> The offset must be 64k aligned.
The peculiar part is where base address and offset must be divisible by 64K (also referred to as the “allocation granularity”) but the size only needs to be divisible by the page size. Maybe you’re right and the docs are wrong?..
The article points out how homeless people aren't popular or often defended. This reality is probably the biggest force against homeless people. Most people don't even want to consider their existence at all, especially if you see them daily. I don't see how trying to divert attention from this harsh reality that exposes weakness in our ability to collectively solve problems actually helps anything. If private prisons we're outlawed would all of even most of homeless issues eventually just go away? Is that something people really believe?
> what kind of taxing scheme would make it so you want to work again?
I stopped wanting to push my business forward when my govt has forced me to get computers and internet access in my grocery store for sending info about each transaction. That equipment slows down a number of people which I can serve per minute. The software I have bought is ugly as hell and prints 5cm of advertisement on each paper check I use to give to a client. Excuse me trees, I do not know how to fix that.
In a perfect world, RMS' advice about tax rate based on the fraction of any given market that the company controls seems a good start.
Replace need-based welfare programs with universal basic income. Everyone survives, but you always have an incentive to earn more money. Plus you eliminate layers of bureaucracy that does need testing, poorly.
UBI is constantly touted as a panacea to everything, but it only seems to work when not everyone gets it.
When everyone gets it, it becomes baked into rents or mortgage payments, and I've never heard a convincing argument about how the money just doesn't go to rent seekers over time
Time for nationwide rent control to keep prices from surging past UBI then. The argument against rent control has always been that investment will go where there isn't rent control since this maximizes profit for the investor. However if you give the investor no alternative then the law of TINA suggests that if they would like to have exposure to the U.S. housing market the only option is to invest in the U.S. housing market, and if the entire market is under rent control then there will be no winners and losers based on having local rent control ordinances in place or not.
Another solution is to invest more in our public housing stock. Private apartments could march up sure, but they'd be competing with the government building with subsidized rents designed to be affordable under the UBI plan, which would put downwards pressure on prices.
Plus you have a flood of unskilled/uneducated migrants from abroad, that are aware that they can get it if they cross the border and get residency or birth a child after. This continues until the whole system "suddenly" collapses.
Land value taxes lower the value of land. The UBI recipient can conserve his share of land and rent it out to someone who needs it. That will result in an overall increase in economic efficiency and that surplus can in theory be used to buy products and services to meet the basic necessities of the recipient.
Alternatively, the recipient can run a homestead on his share of land.
You can increase the land value tax all the way to 100%. In the limit the UBI can be paid for entirely by land value taxes, which leave no surplus for land owners. It’s very easy for a UBI to end up benefiting only the non-working and land owning classes but it’s avoidable.
You really think the $1200 we got two years ago has made any impact at all on the prices we see on supply constrained goods today? Most of that money probably evaporated into paying off credit card debt or allowing for some breathing room from rent.
30k plus while you are unemployed is not a very significant amount of money in many places in America these days. Not enough to make a dent in inflation imo compared to the wider supply chain crisis that is driving inventory shortages and price hikes on goods.
Well yeah, when 25% of households have a wage earner who lost their job due to COVID that will send a much larger hit to the economy than those unemployment payments ever could. Even then they merely helped people float along.
Corruption definitely exists as people are periodically convicted for it, but outside of those convictions the majority of talk about it seems to be a cope for the failures of systems we create freely. This writer references a corruption conviction but then misrepresents its overturning by the supreme court as more corruption when the court unanimously just set a probably agreeable definition and allowed the case to be persued under this definition. Once you do any digging on most claims of corruption you find inconvenient constraints and facts that most people have no understanding of that take the righteousness out of the claims.
Corruption is overwhelmingly an easy scapegoat you can gesture towards and have people agree with you without much effort. If we think there's something that is corruption that isn't covered by the legal code we can agree on what that is and push for it in the legal system. If we think our executives aren't enforcing our legal code we are the ones who elect them. If the problem is that no one cares enough to make the "right" decisions then whining about elites isn't going to do anything.
an important thing to realize with this analogy is the difference in purpose between code and writing. Writing is meant to be read whereas code is meant to specify a program. For people who read code like writing this makes sense but when the focus is more on the resulting program the concerns change a lot.
Is this some kind of marketing for the mentioned movie? The article mentions documents that are supposed to substantiate it's claims but then it just goes into speculation and only linking to other articles the author wrote. The mentioned movie doesn't even seem to be publicly available. Weird to see this here.
what were the first protocols? are these really comparable situations in your mind or are you grasping at straws here? genuinely curious if you can make an argument that they're similar
