In principle if you just put a space between each character it would, though it would also make ngrams between words which you might not want.

The problem is that most trailers actually don't give you enough to really understand the movie, and they're generally pretty good about not giving spoilers... but they're produced to give you the impression that you've basically seen the whole movie. So it's really easy (I do it too) to dismiss an entire movie based on a 15-second trailer.

Unless you're talking about the Tomb Raider movie. The trailer with the fight between Lara Croft and the robot is basically the first 5 minutes of the movie and you can stop watching after that. :P
This is definitely more complicated than that.

In the most basic sense, how much should I be allowed to do what I want with my own money?

A step more complex; giving to your kids is, AFAIK, one of the biggest drivers in why people try to make money during their lifetimes.

A step more liberal: Inheritance (the accumulation of wealth by a family), again, AFAIK, is an important part of upwards mobility.

The current setup is definitely sub-optimal. 100% would also be sub optimal, and, I'd argue, worse than what we've got here, because it's another thing that rich people could dodge that not-rich people couldn't.
I think the idea of focusing on reductions in expenses is the right thinking. I am not sure disguising it as increasing social welfare is the answer.
I have been teaching all of my children, and ranting about it online occasionally, that a lot of younger people are financially illiterate, including so-called smart or tech people. I was taught live within your means. I grew up below the poverty line in a crime-ridden neighborhood in Brooklyn in the late 60s, early 70s, and now I am living in the impoverished rice fields of East Java, Indonesia by choice.
My son bought his own first used car by shoveling driveways, tutoring, working for a tree company all the while maintaining an A+ average at school.
Financial literacy is not just being able to balance a checkbook. It is about being able to keep a 3 month to a full year of cash flow right in front of you, whether on a piece of paper or a spreadsheet.
And don't tell me it is unrealistic. I did this when I had nothing. I recieved a shoeshine stand and kit when I was eight, and did newspaper routes, sweeping floors for supermarkets part time and a bunch of other fun jobs. Yes, they were fun for me. I smiled and whistled while I did them. I didn't see them as holdovers until I could be a real scientist or write my novel or make my art. Rather I saw them as another day towards buying that telescope on a fire sale at the local hobby store, or a book I really wanted to own, not borrow from the library. Besides, I met some really interesting people while doing them, and some led to better opportunities.
Teach your kids the value of a dollar, and have them know what it really means in their gut. That is how poverty will be eliminated eventually in spite of any obstacles societal or otherwise.

Perhaps per country cap was implemented for a reason: immigrants to US are culturally and nationally diverse, not just all Indians.

Also I suggest you to spend your energy fighting against h1b and l1 scam from Indian consulting companies. It will relax situation for real Indian high skilled engineers significantly.

> We already know how to cut poverty, based on other countries like the Nordics where poverty is lower: Take more from the rich and give more to the poor.
Unfortunately, rich people love money too much, so we're not allowed to talk about the real solution, and have to talk about all these fake solutions instead.

We don't talk about the real solution because none of the person that want to "take more from the rich and give more to the poor" proposes one. The problem isn't what to do, but how to do it.

Courtesy of being born in a Communist country, I had to learn Karl Marx and such in middle school. And almost every single statement on this comment chain reads like my term exam questions (I'm not being facetious here). He has a whole chapter on general formula of capital, and another one on rent seeking behavior. It's all good idea ... until you actually try to implement it and the resulting government is nuts.

Take those with 100% inheritance tax idea. Are you gonna also tax gift at 100%? Cause it's obvious what will happen. Now we're adding special case that parents are not allowed to gift their house to their children?
I tried to use it for C++ development on Linux. A project I'm working on uses Qt, and I put QT's include directories into the configuration file as was described in documentation. I was unable to get autocompletion to work with Qt and after 10 minutes I gave up on it and went back to using Netbeans.
I tend to lean toward agreeing with you, by the way, but the other side of this argument is: We already know that giving money and food to poor people doesn't resolve poverty, when the aid / social welfare stops the poverty returns because aid / welfare prevents people from innovating your way out of poverty.

Of course, which side of the argument a person lands on probably depends on their moral politics, see[1] - basically I'm referring to the progressive vs. conservative divide.

Fortunately for me I live in Australia where we have social welfare to the tune of $527.60 a fortnight for a single adult[2], and $952.80 for a couple. But of course we still have bunches of poverty, but I've never been to the US so I can't really say how it compares.

Also, I think the example of the Nordic countries is a poor comparison. The 'Nordic Countries* as a whole have a population of 26.6 million, comparable to Australia. Sweden has a population of about 10 million, the others are close to half that or much less.

In a country that has a population the size of Melbourne (4.5 million) or Sydney (4.9 million) I would imagine it would be a lot easier to want to care for other people. I think that matters a lot.

> has not been gained fairly.

This is a... let's go with "subjective" - this is a subjective interpretation of "fairness". It is totally fair to profit from the effective functioning of civilization. I think what you're actually trying to say is it's not fair to claim credit for that wealth without sharing credit with the system that created the situation within which you could make it.

I tend to think of wealth in the current system like water and hydropower, except that "natural" resting place of wealth is in one big pile (at the top), instead of one big pile at the bottom (oceans). (I could go into why, but I think, observationally, it's pretty clear what the steady-state trends towards).

With that in mind, power is extracted (and work done by that power) as water moves towards it's resting state. Other systems (that are importing entropy) then work against that trend (evaporation), keeping the cycle going.

Wealth accumulates. Something outside the system of wealth (such as government) needs to "import entropy" back into the economy so that work can be extracted as wealth moves back towards it's resting state.

Does that make sense?

(Please, poke holes in my model!)
> In the most basic sense, how much should I be allowed to do what I want with my own money?

It's not your money once you're dead. As far as I'm concerned, dead people don't have any rights.

> A step more liberal: Inheritance (the accumulation of wealth by a family), again, AFAIK, is an important part of upwards mobility.

On the contrary, I think it hurts economic mobility a lot more than it helps. If you're competing for opportunities with people who inherited millions of dollars (without doing anything themselves), it's a lot harder to advance yourself.

Non-rich people don't generally leave enough of an estate for it to matter in the first case. We could easily exclude the first $100k for that matter.
Excellent. I'm glad we agree. You'll notice that the stated identity f(x,x) = x fails to hold over x < 0. I hope this is sufficient to make it clear that the equation does not consider the negatives?
> This reads like a huge tautology. If you cut down bills people have to pay, they'll have to pay less. Brilliant..?

Au contraire; this is the very essence of what capitalism is. If you employ time preference and amalgamate CAPITAL through savings, chances are that you will be able to use that capital to invest in something – yourself (through skill acquisition), a business, your children, etc.
When this is done iteratively, one outcome is often guaranteed; wealth creation.

Reminds me of this:

The poor spendthrift vagabond says to a rich man:

"I have discovered there is enough money in the world for all of us, if it was equally divided; this must be done, and we shall all be happy together."

"But," was the response, "if everybody was like you, it would be spent in two months, and what would you do then?"

"Oh! divide again; keep dividing, of course!"

I live within my means but am not financially literate. It sounds like a good practice for me would be writing down my in/out cash flow - like you say, "It is about being able to keep a 3 month to a full year of cash flow right in front of you, whether on a piece of paper or a spreadsheet".

Is starting out really that simple? Writing down what comes in, and what goes out, and what you know will come in and go out?

Seems pretty simple to me:

There was a joke. It was at least tangentially related to the article at hand. Then someone got offended and made the very first irrelevant comment here. He could have just let it slide, but no.

More irrelevant comments were made in response to the first irrelevant comment. Yours included. I really don't think people care to read about your opinion on what ruins the site here.

Does it really matter? Are we going to continue talking about this or just let the vote buttons do the talking?

I bet you don't want to just let my comment hang here and you'll want to say something else that is completely not relevant to the article, but you're going to have to in order to stop this madness!

That's the struggle that every HN commenter must deal with.

You're not supposed to talk about your downvote (or upvote) and just do the voting. If you can't downvote yet, just leave it up to someone who can. Another strategy is to upvote sibling comments so they go higher than the comment that you hate. If it's really irrelevant it will die. But it's difficult, as you can see. So that's where mods come in.
Then you're in luck, because the article links to the original data, which includes this. See the links in the right hand side bar.

From their paper:

"""
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a flame or light that is lambent is playing “lightly upon or gliding over a surface without burning it, like a ‘tongue of fire’; shining with a soft clear light and without fierce heat.” And since the light of umbral moonshine is apparently of this nature, we call the six values in Λ = {2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 13} lambent, and we refer to the index ℓ ∈ Λ as the lambency of the connections relating the umbral group G(ℓ) to the umbral forms Z(ℓ) and H(ℓ)g .
"""

That is some very fine literary influences indeed.

>so to my mind your statistical argument is obtuse at best.

Well I included statistics, but as I note gender domination is evolutionary in mammals. Evolutionary arguments != statistical arguments.

>Non-patriarchal != matriarchal

Correct me if I am wrong, because I did interpret non-patriarchal to mean matriarchal, so I am left assuming what you meant by non-patriarchal is no gender domination pre-agriculture, is that right? If not, what does that mean, I tried googling it and I get the wiki article for matriarchy.

If you meant no gender domination, that would make humans the only mammal to evolve to not have a gender dominate hierarchy. Moreover, since other mammals all evolved to have gender dominated hierarchies and since they don't have the fancy cognitive functions we have, wouldn't it be safe to say like all other mammals, we evolved and developed a gender dominate social structure first and then higher brain functions? Moreover, if primates evolved to have gender dominated hierarchies and modern humans have gender dominate hierarchies (even with our superior brains), then why would we not have had a gender dominate hierarchy until the advent of agriculture?

Contracting means I just tell them how much it would cost them. It's a remarkably effective filter.

I'd come in the next day and have to undo loads of stuff, it just wasn't effective. One day he proudly announced that he saw his job as keeping salaried programmers in the office as long as possible.

It is simply keeping the expenses on the left rows, the time period on the columns (week, month), and keeping a running tally carried over to the next column at top.
Sounds simple, but it is a powerful tool, since you see when you might actually dip to zero or below way before it happens, and you can plan. Simple keeping a balanced checkbook and writing your known expenses, is necessary, but does not provide the look ahead. You'd be surprised how many people who make more than 6 figures get caught short some months when for the year they're OK, but due to the ins and outs of cash flow, they are at a deficit one day or week out of the month. You can find plenty of templates online. I keep mine simple as compared to what my past business accounting was.

It's not a good joke because it's not original and is what you'd see in a YouTube comment. It's also not very funny because the premise of the joke, that Apple claims to invent things others already did never happens. Apple's presentations and PR communications are deliberate and rehearsed. If they do claim something in that vein, it's because it's either true or whatever the thing they claimed to have invented/innovated was sufficiently differentiated where a neutral third party would agree.

Usually when people make derivations of this "joke", what they're really responding to is that Apple is marketing or talking about something they did with their own take on it, and they just can't help themselves from pointing out that someone else did it first, even though the implementation may differ completely. The Touch ID sensor is one example that comes to mind.

> You seem to want the A+ package.

No, I'm fully on board with zero support, given that's communicated up front. Let the market sort out whether people think that's a good idea. I care less about certifying devices to some standard level of quality, mainly because we're so far away from knowing what that is, than I am in opening up the ecosystem to fight planned (and negligent) obsolescence.

> I'm sceptical that generic third party configuration could be reasonably done well. ... SNMP was mentioned as a failure by another commenter.

SNMP is still used quite heavily in network devices. It's painful because it's complicated, but it's still one of the standards you can rely on any enterprise network device to support (as I understand it, I've dealt with that less the last five years or so), at least for the reading of information. In that respect, it's a success story. That said, I imagine the average network device in that category might be an order of magnitude or harder to deal with configuring (physical connector options, link level options, protocol options, route control and propagation, access lists, etc).

> Is there any example of something similar?

IP, TCP, UDP, POP3, IMAP, HTTP. The core protocols started as free standards, but for mail, compare to exchange. Exchange persists still due to its advanced capabilities and tight integration with other Microsoft products, but it's not what ended up being used for integration in the current generation of mail programs. They all support IMAP and/or POP3, because why write your own tools to migrate mail or provide third party access when a suitable protocol and suite of tools exist.

> BTW I am working on a product somewhat in the space. I'd love to make it completely open, available for ever, plugin your own servers etc. But it isn't remotely viable for people, time and money reasons.

Yeah, and I'm not arguing that you should do this. But if a standard existed, and there were free or cheap libraries that did most the heavy lifting for you, it's possibly that would make it the more viable choice for those same reasons. E.g. A light weight HTTP server with route engine to hook into your own libraries,or even to just write to a config file and HUP your daemon.
We needed a good standard setup that fit our needs. People can opt to use something else as long as their code meets the style guidelines. But its easier to use the same tool. We share tips and tricks a lot. That way we improve our workflow as a whole.
