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.
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.
This method of multiplayer you propose is inferior in basically every way: you can't do client-side prediction to make inputs feel smoother, and non-trivial scenes will surely take up more bandwidth than just transmitting entity deltas.
For some cases, they might just lookup who owns that IP range and put their address as the IP location.
The C++ code has no overhead and is equivalent to a compile time transformation.
They calculate a random domain name based on the timestamp (so it’s constantly changing every X days in case it gets seized), and have some validation to make sure commands are signed (to prevent someone name squatting to control their botnet).
