On raw performance might, the M4 really does live up to Apple’s promises, should deliver. Single core is up about 20% compared to all M3 chips and more than 40% compared to M2. The generational computational leap from the previous M2 iPad Pro is at least a 42% jump on single-core and multi-core.
The Radicle protocol leverages cryptographic identities for code and social artifacts, utilizes Git for efficient data transfer between peers, and employs a custom gossip protocol for exchanging repository metadata.
So it has a gossip protocol to spread the repo, and a common format for artifacts (issues, PRs, etc) to act more like GitHub.
I don’t know too much more because I just started looking into it a month or two ago and haven’t done a deep dive. But it’s a layer on top of git to spread repositories peer to peer instead of manually having people add remotes.
Thanks for politely asking for more info. I find myself a bit brash sometimes as I live on crypto twitter as my day job. So sorry if the initial message was harsh; I deal with a lot of shit posters.
I have a long history in the financial industry so maybe it’s just experience around terms like that. But saying something jumped X% is pretty normal, even if it’s a percent that jumped (so a percent of a percent).
Jumped to X% is entirely different.
For instance, consider “the percentage of people that owned homes dropped 50%” aka “home ownership dropped 50%”
This isn’t comparing taxes. It’s comparing what section of the population shares more of the total burden.
This isn’t saying the people in Texas pay more, just that the distribution is different across income groups. Which makes sense because there is no income tax. Overall, the vast majority (and all non-landowners) in Texas is paying less than they would in Cali.
It’s a misleading graph, possibly on purpose to make people think what you did.
Ugh I’m sorry. I started trying to make sense of it and then somehow confused myself into thinking it was a % share of total - as if each side added to 100%. Nevermind, I was wrong.
Anyhow, back to the chart - it simply makes no sense in that case. I would need to take a look at the underlying to tell me how the bottom 20% pay 13% of income to taxes in a state with 0% income and 6.25% sales tax. Only thing left is property tax (according to chart it’s those 3).
Yes I realize small local sales taxes may apply, but is a max of 2%.
I hadn’t considered the fact that some people make money under the table and/or illegally. And this pay not income tax in either state, but a ton of sales tax.
I highly doubt a large amount of that in a 2% local sales tax county is what causes this. If so, that’s crazy.
Not being willingly obtuse, this is a good faith discussion. It feels very obtuse on the other end tbh, and I’m genuinely trying to have an intelligent discussion.
“Other taxes and bullshit” I agree 100% that I’m not taking into account. Thats where I’m looking for some sources of specific info. Not just unsourced opinions.
I did not see the link for some reason, just the quote. Once again, I’m not being willingly obtuse. Thank you for the link and I will read it.
It’s not helpful to the discussion to repeatedly tell people how they feel, unless you just want to dismiss the conversation. And in such a case, no reply at all would be a better option imo.
What drew you to the high seas?
