>Since this is an official W3C doc, I see no reason why people shouldn't use this.

Well, as far as authority/canon goes, it's typically dictated by the IETF and not W3. And, sure, they could cooperate with one another but, really -- if there's an authority on the protocols that describe email (SMTP, POP, IMAP, etc) -- it shouldn't be the World Wide Web Consortium.

That said, the IETF does tend to draft RFCs that reflect actual implementations (at least their intended design), but since they often bias towards interoperability, it's unlikely they'd narrow the scope of the email address grammar.
> Taxes and morality have nothing to do with each other

Bullshit, the concept of fairness is a universal moral.
> If I buy an asset that only appreciates at the rate of inflation, then I end up paying taxes on what amounts to a fake gain. Even if it appreciates faster my effective tax rate is higher than the actual number used to calculate my taxes.

The same is true of getting a raise and paying higher taxes on a "fake gain" (i.e., your effective tax rate slowly rises as each boundary shifts lower in real terms). That being said, I guess my main complaint wasn't with the inflation claim but rather with the idea that the risk/return line is somehow relevant to taxation.
Practically, those W3C/WHATWG regexes probably are fine, but they aren't correct. For instance they fail to match the valid address c."@".t@gmail.com because they don't handle quoted strings correctly. I'd expect they also match some invalid addresses. My understanding was that only a Perl regex can test an address against the standard: http://www.ex-parrot.com/pdw/Mail-RFC822-Address.html

The spec of what HTML will accept for an email in an input form is quite different from what email (which predates HTML by a lot, the major RFC 822 being from 1982) actually accepts.

This is half true. People will go out of their way to make the organization better if it make their jobs easier (ex: switching to more modern easy-to-work with technology). But if for instance the project is going in a wrong direction, most of the time you have no good reason to fight to change things (and yes, it's fight b/c often it's about changing opinions and demonstrating repeatedly that things needs to be done different). So sure, do your duty and voice your concerns but at the end of the day just go with the way the boss decides. This is called delegation of responsibility and something a lot of people don't grasp. You need to cover you ass to stay sane.
What I don't get about this comment, and many others, is why do you have to choose one type or the other. I believe a varied exercise plan will be more helpful than just focusing on a single exercise type.

Run one day, lift for upper body the next day, HIIT the third day, abs and light cardio the fourth day, lower body lift the fifth, rest day and go for a bike ride on Sunday.

The email input regexp is only about matching the atext@domain subpart of the syntax. The full email address parsers are about parsing the full allowed syntax you can put in an email to: field that includes address lists and display names.

Also W3C produced HTML specs are hardly gospel about email-related things (but I don't know whether there's anything wrong in this case).

Ask HN: In my spare time, should I work more or do personal projects?
I've overhauled my daily schedule to include more sleep, incorporate an exercise regime, and spend enough time with my girlfiend/friends. This leaves me with about one to two hours of free time at the end of the day and I'd like to use it productively to improve my programming skills. My goal is to enhance performance at a new job I recently started.

I'm debating between using that time to continue working on work stuff or developing a personal project that's related to what I do at work. I fear that working more will cause me to burn out, whereas a personal project could supplement my work knowledge and avoid burnout because it's something I'm passionate about. On the other hand, what if my project is a waste of time? And if I want to get better at work related things shouldn't I simply continue working on that? Any insight would be appreciated.
Actually the management theory pretty much agrees with Michelle on this one.

The old-school Taylorist-style management theory that you're probably thinking of has been thoroughly debunked now. It doesn't lead to good outcomes.

Leadership theory is much more nuanced now, there's a recognition that the best leadership style to use in any given situation is very much based on context and team membership.

Management need to deal with the situation as it is, because that builds trust that management are actually dealing with the situation.
If you eliminate corporate taxes then the shareholders of the corporation would make more money(1). You can then make up for the lost corporate tax revenue by taxing those shareholders more. It would be a simpler and more efficient system overall.

1. Probably also the employees would make more and the customers would pay less for products as well. This has to do with something called tax incidence.

Long story short, a vengeful ex-girlfriend had me put in 72 hour mandatory psych evaluation twice because she didn't want me to break up with her. She claimed I was threatening to kill myself when that wasn't the case.

The first time, I freaked out and had to be held down by a group of people, including an orderly that purposely hurt me and left a large bruise on my shin after pushing it downwards against a metal bar off of a hospital bed. I was shot up with morphine to calm me down and then strapped in to a bed - and all I recall after that is waking up in the morning to someone staring at me from the door way. Supposedly, action was taken against the orderly - but I have no guarantee or follow up on that. Additionally, when the police originally arrived at my apartment, two officers searched it looking for a weapon (they found a steak knife that had fallen next to the stove which they questioned me about - I don't even remember it falling there - could've been there for a while) - I am pretty sure they had no right to search my place, but I could be wrong.

The second time, I was forced to take double the dose of the medication I normally took for anti-anxiety/depression which actually caused me to hallucinate while I was locked up. This 72-hour hold actually lasted much longer because the staff psychiatrist left for an extended Thanksgiving weekend, so it came out to 5 days.

It truly worries me how bad of an experience this was. I met some interesting people with interesting issues during these two brief experiences - but I don't see how they were being provided with the help they actually needed.

It doesn't necessarily need to. We could have a `digit-sales tax', i.e. count the number of digits in the item cost and add a tax at that percent. Something less than $10 only has a 1% tax, while something costing $10,000 has a 5% tax.

Clearly the numbers should be adjusted if someone wants to turn this into a serious tax proposal, but it seems possible to design a progressive sales tax.

> the complaint is always some variant of "I noticed you goofing off".

OK, there's a political status-quo you have to learn how to internalize. If you work at the front desk, you can fuck around on the computer, but you can't take a book out and read. One looks like work, the other looks like fucking around. You can't make your organization look bad. The perceptions are more important than the substance. If you can't get the perceptions right then you were never going to make it in corporate America, and should probably stick to contracting.

So the way to actually do this is, to look like you're working, but actually be producing nothing. When they complain, you can say you were busy on X, where X is some obviously unimportant meaningless detail. That forces your boss to clarify what he expects you to be working on.

That your boss never asks you about specific tasks means that your defined role is to be a repository of knowledge and not a cog in a machine. This is a good thing, knowledge workers can bullshit their way to perks that the rank and file could only dream of. My current job is just such a thing.

The key to this is understanding that nobody actually knows what you do. Management can only guilt you into being productive, they have no way of actually knowing if you are being productive or not. Perception is reality and you control the face you put out to the organization.

> taxes should be progressive at all levels

Are you proposing replacing the tax bracket system with an algebraic equation?

I wonder if that would be more or less confusing. I guess if you just showed people "this is what the tax curve looks like", it would be obvious that:

1) They need to use a calculator or look up in the tax table.

2) You don't actually lose money when your income goes from $37,449 to $37,451.

Technology moves fast when viewed over a decade; what's changed in the last year that you think is noteworthy, or has changed the way you behave or the things you want to see created?

- Is anything possible now, which wasn't possible a year ago?

- Is anything practical now, which was impractical in 2014?

Taking a cue from a WaitButWhy.com article on Elon Musk[1], and the sections "What was possible in the world in 2005 is very different from what’s possible today, and it’s a huge (and rare) advantage to be working with an up-to-date [view on Reality]" and "Conventional wisdom is slow to move, and there’s significant lag time between when something becomes reality and when conventional wisdom is revised to reflect that reality. And by the time it does, reality has moved on to something else. [..] By ignoring conventional wisdom in favor of simply looking at the present for what it really is and staying up-to-date with the facts of the world as they change in real-time — in spite of what conventional wisdom has to say — [people] can act on information the rest of us haven’t been given permission to act on yet"

How do you know he's drawing on you with criminal intentions?

So, you had an experience where you perceived a cop's attitude to change. That's fine. Maybe next time the cop asks you to get out of the car. Maybe he says you match the description of a suspect and tries to handcuff you, confiscate your gun. At what point are you going to draw your gun and defend yourself? It's not like the very, very small percentage of cops who are "criminals" have some flashing sign to alert you. By the time you realize some shit is going down, it's going to be too late.

And who said anything about expecting mercy from a criminal? Do you know any cops? If not, you should make an effort to get to know some, at least the community officer assigned to your neighborhood, if that applies to your locale. Most are decent folks trying to do good. Most are not "criminals".
