> was 16% fairer than a state-of-the-art progressive tax framework studied by academic economists.

I wonder how fairness was measured.

Sure. The question to me is where the 30k PV coming from?

The secret project doesn't seem to be a stealth Geiger counter. The custom iPod they created had complex data recording and storing features, excessive for a Geiger counter. The device was probably made to intercept WiFi data, which makes more sense to secretly record.


Why not start with a device that already has WiFi, and then you don't need to do any hardware mods?


I suppose using a device that's known to not have WiFi would arise less suspicions


Although I believe it's common practice in secure installations to CT scan everything in and out.

No hardware mods are a much better way to not have evidence sitting in those CT scans.


Nobody is analysing the boards in those CT scans, they are checking for explosives.


> Intel said it is reorganizing its technology, systems architecture and client group. Its new leaders will report directly to Chief Executive Officer Bob Swan.

This is similar to Apple in 1997, when the CEO was ousted and Jobs stepped in as interim CEO to restructure Apple's product line. Maybe this will be Intel's comeback?
