And replace it with what?


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.

If you own shares of $MCD, you can get wealth taking share prices and shares owned.

But if own a McDonald's franchise, how do you measure the 'wealth' of it? Annual profit? Last x years profit, averaged?


Comparable sales. Discounted cash flow model. There are many ways.


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.


Why? Some web apps might want to present a different interface if you’re in landscape.


You don't need an angle for that. That is highly invasive and can be used to target unique individuals. Why not default to a pro-human oriented mindset rather than pro-corporation?


It's for games that rely on the tilt.


That's much more reliably conveyed by looking at the viewport dimensions.


Since C++11, data() is also required to be null terminated. Per your own source and cppreference.


LOL, I need to learn to click on the more modern tabs. Will delete comment.


“I quit!” Even includes a special character


"I, uhh, need your thoughts." should have fewer consequences AND be more secure.


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.


The Studio (Stud IO™) is the new Mac Pro - it's not "worth it" unless you need the most performance period - or you have money to spare.

Or you really, really need to drive eight displays from a single machine.

For "home user" stuff a Mac mini or MacBook is going to do everything you ever need (in fact, they have the problem where the M1 systems are still perfectly capable, six years later).


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


The 17 is the first base model iPhone to have a ProMotion display.


The base model has 120hz ProMotion display.


I personally believe what we’re seeing are newcomers who aren’t even programmers who fall for all this crap and then come here to post about it


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.
