It’s actually easy if you think about it.

Rich people love comparing their wealth to others, so they can feel better about themselves. So we know quite precisely how much each billionaire is worth, cause they really like measuring those dicks.

Anyways, we can use this against them. You just tax the wealth. Not the income. Not the surplus or the profit. You tax the wealth.

For instance, during the Danish election, there were some parties who proposed the idea of a wealth tax such that all wealth above, say 30 million DKK would be taxed by 0.5% to 1% (depends what party you ask) every year. Someone worth 100 million Danish kroner would therefore need to pay 70*0.01 million or 700.000 kroner in taxes every year.

You could do more than 1% and 30 million for billionaires if you ask me.

Anarchy is a political structure where there’s basically no one in charge, right?

That’s a very literal interpretation of the word. As I understand it, anarchy is more like a class of ideas, rather than any concrete idea. Two people who both call themselves anarchists can have very, very different ideas about how society should run.

So the answer is: it depends what kind of anarchy you’re talking about. Your question is asking how a broad category would work but it’s so broad that I don’t think you can give a concrete answer. You’ll need to be more specific.

iff [sic]

In case you are unaware, “iff” is short for “if and only if”, i.e. bidirectional implication. It’s not a typo.

While the other answers are funny, the real answer nowadays is either “murder” or “assassination”. There is not really a more specific word for it.

I would say no, ochre would have more of a red or orange-y tint.

but it doesn’t stop them from existing on the fediverse.

Well of course, nobody has absolute power over the fediverse like that. Anyone can start an instance and create millions of bot accounts if that’s what they wanted. But “the fediverse” is only what it looks like from the point of view of your instance. If stuff is blocked or defederated, it may as well not exist.

The point isn’t to eliminate all bad behavior on the fediverse (that’s not possible, by design of the system, and that’s good). The point is to allow users to seek towards those instances that keep bad behavior out.

You only need to stop it on your own instance. You can’t do anything else anyway. Users will go to the instances that aren’t flooded with bots.

There’s nothing that can be done to stop it

That’s not true at all. You can definitely do something:

• Make a sign up process that filters out most low effort bots (e.g. applications, invite trees)
• Get more moderators to catch the bots earlier. In a similar vein, encourage users to report bots.
• Defederate from instances that don’t have similar measures, i.e. that don’t take bot prevention seriously.

It definitely does. You just defederate from the instances that don’t do something to avoid bots.

No, that’s what I wrote as well. The identity service would not know what sites were visited or ideally not even how many sites were visited.

I’m not sure that is feasible, because in order to trust the answer, I feel the asker must know and trust the one providing the answer. It sounds like you’re imagining a system with many different ID providers? What prevents me from creating my own provider that just answers “Yes”, even for people under 18? If the site asking does not know it is my fake ID service providing the answer, I’m not sure they can trust any answer.

But I won’t pretend to be an expert on this topic, so perhaps it is feasible somehow.

In principle it should be possible to do a zero-knowledge proof.

This means that the website asking for age verification asks a yes/no question like “Is this user 18+?” and the age verification service (like a digital ID provided by the government or whatever) answers “yes” or “no” accordingly, but without telling anything else about the user. Also, the verification service should ideally not know who asked for the age verification.

So the site you want to visit only knows the thing they need to know: Whether you are 18+ or not. Nothing else. And the age verification service only knows somebody asked for age verification and provided the answer, but do not know which site you visited.

This is all possible, but I don’t have high hopes this is the intended implementation of any government seeking age verification, so don’t get your hopes up.

Tinnitus has no cure and is generally a permanent condition, so my guess is yes.

1. Shake hands thoroughly after washing to minimise excess water.
2. Move hands together as if you’re applying soap while using the dryer. This keeps the water evenly distributed on your hands, to maximise evaporation.

Would recommend Case of the Golden Idol for a similar detective vibe.

With the amount of AI slop out there, in this day and age this is actually a surprisingly high level of trust.

How comes movies aren’t like this? I feel like there are so few movies but so many games.

Tbf memory leaks can be very hard to diagnose and can also be hard to avoid in any software written in a language like C++, which is probably what Diablo 4 is written in.

Because historically the most dangerous things to humans have been not other animals, but other humans. Were generally afraid of anything dissimilar to ourselves because that often meant war or competition between tribes and such.

It doesn’t make sense in the modern world but unfortunately instincts are hard to let go of for some people.

Are you asking why some people are racist? I’m not sure but it almost sounds like that.
