Hey everyone, don't worry, if #Microsoft promises its #AI screen recording feature is turned off by default it definitely will be.

Some back of the envelope math suggests for #Trump to pull of his ridiculous "proposal" of eliminating income tax in favor of tariffs, the tariffs would have to average about 85%.
That's the base model #iPhone going from $799 to $1,478 (at least). Choose your other exemplar goods to do your own math.
Clown stuff.

This perpetual cycle of big tech (looking at you #Adobe) firms rolling out #AI policies that basically say they own everything you produce and can use it for whatever, getting caught, and then apologizing and committing to dialing it back is exhausting.
It also just about perfectly duplicates the similar web 2.0 trend of trying to take ownership of user-generated content.
It isn't a mistake, it’s intentional -- and some are undoubtedly slipping through.

The ratio of wealth between men and women in 2019, according to this, is 1:83 -- so men held on average 83% more wealth than women.
To give you an idea of the significance of that disparity, if we implemented a wealth tax we’d have to add an additional ~46% tax that is applied just to men to level the playing field.
Or, put differently, it’s just as easy for a woman to accumulate wealth in the US as a man ... a man that pays an additional 46% tax.

Great, now we'll get to hear from Tom Cotton again.
Claiming Henry Kissinger is your favorite anything other than war criminal, much less your favorite AUTHOR, should preclude one from holding office.
Total sicko stuff.

I'm going to ease back in. My last daily driver linux distro was something like Mandrake 7.0 and I hope they've sorted out networking and sound now.
(I'm mostly joking, I know they have)

I reckon Copilot+ PC is going to be a product that an entire class of professional just simply can't purchase or use for work. Thinking of #attorneys, #accountants, etc.
Surely the "features" will be able to be disabled, but can anyone reasonably trust that?

I have no idea what a standard bog looks like and it does me absolutely no good when you continually compare things to one.

In my column this week I discuss the general idea of injecting progressivity into the property tax regime.
When property values go up, income doesn’t always follow suit. This gives rise to myriad breaks from the FMV—assessment paradigm, which brings with it … problems.
Key it to income. (Property) tax the rich. Full stop.
