Lazy as usual, I only read the summary. But it looks like there is no connectivity issues. However there appears to be a disconnectivity issue.
It will try to do what it did in gaming market. Use the cash cows of office and windows to subsidize a division and engage in a war of attrition. But it did not work out in many arenas. Like Quicken used its market dominance in TurboTax to fight off Microsoft Money. Microsoft tried to pay people to use Bing, even that did not succeed.
For loose definitions of "identify" they could find sets of credit card transactions that would meet the given "pieces" of information. If Detective Paul Drake is looking for someone who went to a particular restaurant one night and then bought cake from some bakery next day, and Della Street knows the same person paid for toll the same evening, the super duper algorithm will tell Perry Mason all the sets of transactions that would match the given "pieces". But the data sets will not have any name or address attached to it. But still Ham Burger will make a mistake and his star witness will confess on the stand.
The results are in perfect agreement with predictions from the 1990s--there are no grandfather-type paradoxes.
That is the beauty of time travel experiments. You just go back in time and adjust the predictions. Simple, eh?
BTW FCC radiation limits prevent CPU from emitting too much radiation.
But what is most amazing is that it does not seem to have made any profits yet.
Root cause of the problem seems to be, some large corporations with large phone banks want to spoof their number. They don't care if that ability is misused by shady operators peddling junk. They are totally wrong, it is better to pay a few cents more per call to get an account with the privilege to spoof the originating number. If they reduce the number of junk calls, their potential customers might actually answer their calls. Right now the junk call menace is so high most people are refusing answer any unknown number.
Just charge 1 cent per call to spoof the originating number, the junk call volume will go down by orders of magnitude.
Well, yes indeed it is. The conclusion of that should not be to tax capital gains more, it should be to tax income less. If you tax capital gains more, people will invest less in things that produce capital gains, which means less economic activity, fewer jobs, lower wages, etc.
It has been soundly proved wrong. We have been coddling them by cutting cap gain taxes for 30 years. World is awash with capital. 2 trillion dollars uninvested. Labor is cheap, capital is cheap now. There is no demand for goods and services, so there are no good investment opportunities available. Why? Because the super rich have vacuumed up all the gains of all the productivity gains leaving the consumers threadbare.
Must tax the rich and spend it, spend it wantonly, spending it building bridges to nowhere. The Feds can bury boxes full of cash at random locations and ask people to go dig and find it. Even that would produce more economic growth than this madness of begging the rich to invest and create jobs.
Using AGI is quite misleading. People at high income brackets avoid taking salary. They will call it stock options or carried interest or something else. Only 44 thousand people allowed their income to go beyond 5 million dollars. Either they had dumb lawyers, or they made so damned much this is the last few dollars that was impossible to rename through lawyering at a rate lower than income tax rate.
Make sure your code does nothing gracefully.
