I empower Business Development Professionals to scale their income, reduce their labor, and without adding personnel.

@stevetipp Can't wait to look at this.

[Justin Hughes @HeadlessRadio]

@stevemur Saying socially liberal while arguing that the rich shouldn't pay as much tax as a teacher or nurse and that we should cut spending (usually around "entitlements" like social security) is disingenuous at best.

[Justin Hughes @HeadlessRadio]

@stevemur you are conflating portion of the total tax paid and portion of their income. This is more a commentary on the significance of wealth inequality than comment on how much the rich are paying. They pay a lower percentage than middle class workers.

[stevemur @stevemur]

Of course it isn’t. But “tax the rich” implies it isn’t already being done. Never before have the highest earners paid a greater share of federal income tax collected. The bottom 50% of earners, combined, pay about 3% of the federal income tax, and that doesn’t even net out credits received. We have a spending (and entitlements and fraud) problem, not a federal revenue problem.

@stevemur Your arguments at the beginning were psuedo-intellectual data misrepresentation, and now your argument is "we can disagree", but you didn't address the facts. You extended the scope of my arguments to something you could attack broadly and feigned concessions.

[Justin Hughes @HeadlessRadio]

@stevemur And we pay oil companies billions and the war machine billions. But the people who never have to worry about missing a meal don't want to let their money feed the poor because of an insignificant amount of fraud.

[Justin Hughes @HeadlessRadio]

@stevemur The conservative lie of small government is "let me cheat in business, but make everyone else live by my religious dogma". This isn't a "reasonable people can disagree" situation. The facts are, the rich pay next to nothing as a portion of their gains...

[Justin Hughes @HeadlessRadio]

@stevemur Nominal dollars on a chart that doesn't account for inflation...Population has gone up. Prices have gone up. The meaningful measure is revenue as a percentage of GDP, which has hovered around 17% for decades while outlays run 20–24%. Spending has gone up...wars and oil subsidies

[Justin Hughes @HeadlessRadio]

@stevemur And your "confiscating assets" is a strawman. The irony is we have seen assets seized when inequality becomes so great that the bottom half hold less wealth than the top 0.1% like now. And it isn't the government that seizes the property. From the Bolshevick and French on.

[Justin Hughes @HeadlessRadio]

@stevemur If someone with significantly more is contributing a significantly lower portion of what they have, it is not "fair tax". $600 billion net worth doesn't have to skip a yacht purchase over a 1% wealth tax. $40k/yr has to skip a bill or take on debt for a 12% income tax.

[Justin Hughes @HeadlessRadio]

@stevemur I knew you would go there...but again, this statistic shows only the inequality of the wealth distribution. If a billionaire had a lower effective tax rate than a janitor, the billionaire is not paying a reasonable tax.

[Justin Hughes @HeadlessRadio]

@stevemur Not presenting the metric that answers the claim. "The rich should pay their fair share" is about how much of THEIR money they pay. Not how much of the total money they pay. They hoard wealth, pay unlivable wages, and get more tax cuts even with a deficit. 50% pay 3%. Inequality.

[Justin Hughes @HeadlessRadio]

@stevemur Yes, because the bottom 50% don't have as much money combined as any one household from the top 10%. Half the country does not make a living wage. So even that 3% contribution is likely food off the table or a bill not paid. A billionaire isn't hurt by 6 figure tax bill.

You're not broken; you never were. This video illustrates why superficial "self improvement" efforts, like new habits or diets, often fall short because they only address surface-level changes.

@FirebringerQntm If we aren't willing to falsify our own work, science REALLY can't move forward.

@projecteleven @strilanc @IBM @mikelukin @MihirBhaskar

[Justin Hughes @HeadlessRadio]

What if fixing your negative patterns is a struggle because of the level you are working at, and not because you're just "broken"?

@SilkForgeAi @projecteleven As a runner-up(14 bit submission) your code in that repo builds the circuit from the private key. It's recovery from a planted answer and not a solve via math.

Lelli's uses a lookup table so it has limits, but it does actually generate the key in output without being input.
