<p>Interestingly, I have a conflict with my municipality. I fed the articles of law and their arguments of why and how they apply to notebooklm and asked it for fallacies.
It not only gave me the fallacies in their reasoning, but also an excellent counter argument and motivation why they are interpreting this law incorrectly.
The result is now that they are handing over the entire case to an independent third party to evaluate which interpretation is valid.</p>

<p>It's religion. The church pastor would visit the family if a young couple didn't have children within a year to ask what's up.<p>That being said: I don't get the discussions in this thread. The world can't sustain billions of people anyway. I think decline in the population is a very good thing to happen.<p>It's silly to think of it as some sort of insurmountable challenge that should be avoided at all cost.</p>

<p>To be fair, an iframe would accomplish that too, but the loaded content would have its own html header that adds to the amount of kilobytes used. So maybe that's the reason.</p>

<p>It's not about performance, it's about load time and the restrictions of your client apps.<p>Also, you're thinking way too much in a SPA architecture. Using just server side rendering with just a tiny bit of javascript like the article states removes most of the problems you describe like Initial load time and cross team collaboration. The load time of the described websites would be instant, and there is no front end team needed.</p>

<p>That would be nice. I've always wondered why it's so hard to harvest excess solar power as hydrogen gas by electrolysis, from what I understand the process is pretty inefficient. That would also be a good area for research.</p>

<p>ASML is already a good industry leader in it's field of expertise, expanding into other areas like green technologies and defence (lots of finances being freed up for that currently) will be very beneficial. I just read France has found an enormous amount of naturally occurring Hydrogen. Hydrogen powered cars would also be a good area for scientific research. And of course, genetics and medicine in general, the Netherlands started vaccinating poultry against bird flu last month in a world exclusive trial.</p>

<p>I ditched my Google account a while ago. That was tricky because I used it to log in to several websites.<p>I fortunately also got rid of Facebook a while ago. This gave me a lot more time back. It's difficult at first, because there's a little fomo, but now I am very happy.<p>I never started with all the other social media. No Instagram, no Twitter. So that makes it easy.<p>My computers have always run Linux, very happy with that.<p>Streaming services are next. At least the US ones.<p>Replacing whatsapp with signal also. I noticed a lot of my contacts are already in there, just not actively using it. It's a question of just starting communications and groups there.<p>It's quite doable, but you have to really want to "vote with your wallet" so to speak. I think it's a worthwhile sacrifice. In fact, it rids you of psychological warfare, reduces anxiety, costs less money and gives you your time back.<p>If you think about it that way, it's a no brainer.</p>

<p>You can't be more wrong. You're saying that only logic performed on the client side can be considered an application? State can be stored in the server. Screen changes can be done by loading html, it doesn't need a framework. React is far from crucial for web development, but people haven't learned anything else the last decade. Most front end developers these days don't even know what a template engine is, and some don't even know how to create a website without a backend rest api that spews json data.</p>

<p>Communism is not the same socialism. In communism everyone gets the same pay. In socialism, everyone pays the same percentage of their income to help the people who are worst off and pay for the conveniences everyone can beneft from like healthcare, Infrastructure and housing.</p>

<p>I'm from Europe, I pay 50% in taxes and I can assure you that even here you can get rich. I can also attest that there's nothing wrong with the government having money for universal healthcare, infrastructure, security, mitigation climate change and housing.</p>

<p>You're generalizing all governments of all times. Surely there are people in governments that do spend money to benefit the majority?
In a democracy, you get to vote for the people you trust most to do so, and vote out the people that don't.
In the U.S. there's only two options on a national level, but that is a different problem.</p>

<p>That's not what OP says. You're talking about an absolute $150k, that is communism (everyone gets paid the same amount). He's talking about a fair percentage of taxes, paid by everyone, regardless of their income. 
This way, people that are left with little can be helped, and people that are left with a lot can still enjoy their wealth. 
I think 50% is fine, but taxes should be fair, no taxing already taxed goods or assets, and the ultra rich should not have ways to avoid paying their share like they do now.</p>

<p>> You're quite free to voluntarily send all your money to the Treasury.<p>Taxes should be fair for everyone of course. The original question was whether billionaires should pay more, and they should. The amount of money they have allows them to dodge the amount of taxes they truly owe. This gives them an unfair advantage over the rest of us, which only increases over time.</p>
