America has the most progressive tax system in the world. There is no other country where the ultra rich pay such percentage of the tax burden. Fuck off with this "Left in the US is center in Europe" bullshit. The EU wishes they were as left as us in a lot of areas.

edit: Because this is HN and a lot of you are learning this for the first time:

US: $60k salary leads to $50k take home pay, then a less than 10% sales tax

Denmark: $60k salary leads to $38k take home pay, then a 25% sales tax

All that money you're losing in Denmark is paying for you shittier healthcare.

Welcome to a small taste of being outside your echo chamber.

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. You seem to be saying the "free speech absolutists" getting upset about censorship in the EU is a bad thing. While, at the same time, saying them not getting upset about this is a bad thing.

In criticizing their inconsistencies, you are highlighting and simultaneously missing your own inconsistencies.

The motivation is that they keep getting away with it. And they're going to keep getting away with it until society decides we're going to stop tolerating shit like that.

Awesome. Let's all start using this on HN so we end up with a bunch of broken links in a few years

Only the people who can't make eye contact with others interpreted your comment as hostile. Unfortunately, that describes a high number of people on this site.

Only 70 years? If that's the case, why isn't it solved yet? Just rent 4,000 computers and have it done in less than a week.

How do you have better odds at a casino? Is the cut Kalshi takes so big that it makes the odds bad for both sides?

Just to make sure I'm understanding, you're saying that Google payed someone (presumably Trump), who then went and convinced a Clinton appointed judge who has ruled against Trump in the past to give the case to Google?

Is that actually what you think?

On the contrary, you and Anthropic are being disingenuous by pretending that a usage reduction is actually an increase. Especially when the 20x max plan isn't actually anywhere near 20x, as people have recently realized.

> Polls show the population regrets Brexit

57%?

Sorry, but a poll of 57% is a tossup. And could even swings the other way when you factor in closet brexiters/trumpers/etc in polls like these

That is the point. It's a way to get the value of a service you don't like, while signaling to everyone that you're too virtuous to use the service you're getting value out of.
