A lot of countries require you to declare your total wealth on your tax forms. Then once someone gets audited, that gets checked. Obviously it’s possible to hide it, but that in itself is a crime, and not everyone is willing to risk going to jail over paying taxes.

You obviously can’t convert between the two directly and suggesting that is disingenuous.

Income tax doesn’t affect unrealized capital gains (where the rich “hide” most of their income).

A wealth tax (even without a minimum threshold) doesn’t apply to the poorest who can’t accumulate enough to even have any savings.

This conversion only works for income that is entirely saved and reinvested, which the majority of people can’t afford to do.

What do you use the Mac Studio for?

I’ve always felt they weren’t really worth it for performance per dollar spent. For C++ work I just use a non-Mac workstation. For lighter workloads the Mac Mini is very capable already.

Except 120 Hz display I believe, which is big reason for me

I personally would have changed it to a round-trip then just returned the car to the other Hertz location and let them figure it out.

If you add multiple IPs to a record, a lot of resolvers will simply use the first one. So even in that case you need a low TTL to shuffle them constantly

Client-server multiplayer games are already kind of a very specialized type of video playback if you squint a bit (you're transmitting entities rather than pixels).

This method of multiplayer you propose is inferior in basically every way: you can't do client-side prediction to make inputs feel smoother, and non-trivial scenes will surely take up more bandwidth than just transmitting entity deltas.

They could get a rough estimate of an IP location using traceroute from many different known locations. Very rough but it’s a starting point.

For some cases, they might just lookup who owns that IP range and put their address as the IP location.

Your python code allocates an array and inverts it every function call.

The C++ code has no overhead and is equivalent to a compile time transformation.

Should be using empty base optimization or [[no_unique_address]] for that implementation

Probably some sort of command and control for a botnet.

They calculate a random domain name based on the timestamp (so it’s constantly changing every X days in case it gets seized), and have some validation to make sure commands are signed (to prevent someone name squatting to control their botnet).

The drying is awful in my Toto, it's not enough air pressure. It'd take 20+ min to dry completely. It's nothing like those hand dryers in public bathrooms.

How about: each user creates an account with their legal ID. Obviously unique so they can’t create multiple using the same ID. Before the sale, everyone signs up. Once the sale is started, tickets are distributed using a lottery system for the users who signed up (so refreshing like mad doesn’t give any advantage). Can only buy up to 2 tickets per person (their own and an anonymous companion). ID must be shown and would be verified at entrance.

If you wanna be even more strict: You could allow up to X companions, but they must not have signed up with their own account (so they don’t have an advantage for doing so). And they must provide their ID before the event as well and arrive as a single party.

Yes but it’s not portable. If zero initialization were the default and you had to opt-in with [[uninitialized]] for each declaration it’d be a lot safer. Unfortunately I don’t think that will happen any time soon.
