Even though you're not the author, it would probably make a good regular submission rather than a |show hn|. I mean, showing HN stuff is what regular submissions do.
But is it systemic?
Yes. However:

> If a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok.

This submission got traction, the other one was posted 12hrs ago and didn't really get anywhere.
> Obviously we could essentially make income tax 0% in Sweden over night, by just moving it to payroll tax. But no one would argue Sweden was some kind of tax haven.

Denmark is an example of the opposite of this: Employer social security contributions make up 0.8% of total tax wedge, and they've rolled all of the employee contributions into the income tax, which makes Danish income tax look really high compared to most other European countries that have much higher employer contributions, and presumably contributes to the idea that the Nordic countries are particularly high tax, while Denmark overall is actually roughly average for OECD.

> I don't know what the grandparent poster was trying to say "employer pays $1k payroll tax so you make $9k"? Just shows how confusing this is (apparently)

He clearly misinterpreted you and though $8k was your gross salary, rather than gross salary + payroll tax, hence my original comment to him.
Neat project and potentially worth playing with. Appears to be abandoned though, sadly.

BSD kernel is not used in Nintendo, only the network stack (despite all the media craze saying so).

Nintendo has a habit of doing their own custom OS designed specifically for the needs of their consoles (3ds, switch and wiiu all have its own OS), but using a battle-tested and proven network stack means less problems in the long run.
For embedded support, the platform (ie the entire SoC and its devices) is more important than just the CPU architecture. Every SoC is different and if the OS doesn't have drivers and support for the devices on it then it won't boot, even if the OS supports ARM or MIPS in general.
I came across this when it was referenced in the de-clustered RAID work for ZFS [1]. A few proprietary filesystems have had this for a while, notably GPFS from IBM and PanFS from Panasas. More recently Xyratex/ Seagate came out with Grid RAID. The previously mentioned ZFS work is the only open-source implementation I am aware of. I'd be fascinated to hear if others are aware of other similar works.

I rather thought that Google advertised to the person using YouTube, and the video is just the vehicle.

Thus, you'd expect ads targeted at you to appear on any video you watch, even extremist ones.

This may be quite difficult for Google to 'fix'.
I think the highest physical limit would be Carnot efficiency for a heat engine driven by the temperature difference between the sun and the earth. (6000K - 300 K) / 6000 K = 95%. There could be a different lower limit we hit before that though.
Exactly. Travel speed once you're in the air is basically the last problem with air travel. Travel time to the airport, looking around for a parking space, an outdated checkin process, endless security theater. These all seem like easier fixes than making planes move faster.

Even with no other improvements, I would probably take reliable in-flight wifi over a 25% improvement in flight times.

What would you consider 'respect your culture'?

I've lived in Canada, I did not notice any culture that I should respect other than to learn the language and obey the laws. In other countries that I've lived in (Poland, Romania) it was much the same. And that's being an atheist in countries that were fairly religious.

Do you want refugees to start acting like the locals in every respect? Do you want them to start wearing local traditional dress and pretend that they're part of something they do not feel in their hearts? Do you feel threatened by people that you can't easily communicate with, that have different customs than you do and that pray to different gods? Should they convert to some local religion?

> In other words: don't let them in.

Why?

Refugees are the people that will help your descendants a few generations down the line when the tides have turned. Likely they or their children will be the ones to wipe your ass when you're old and gray and unable to do so yourself.

All this fearmongering and irrational angst of other cultures isn't doing any good whatsoever.

In the same spirit:

The current target set by the Mayor of London is that by 2023 ALL taxis in London will be zero emission including Uber.

All new taxis. And Zero emission capable. Practically speaking, that means they must be at least plug-in hybrids. The new LTC/Geely TX5 cabs are actually hybrids with a ~70 mile electric range, not full electric vehicles as is sometimes reported.
So there is a potentiometer on the c64’s board that you can adjust to control the color intensity. The people on the assembly line them were supposed to connect them to a screen and adjust the pot until it matched a particular intensity, but there were runs of c64s where they just said "fuck that" and turned it all the way up without checking. Early 64s were SUPER saturated.

The fact that we are having a conversation about it looking dull and washed out makes it clear that this unauthorized shortcut was cracked down upon. But it also helps to explain why there are so many palettes available in most c64 emulators - people tried to match their memories, or a screen grab, of wherever their particular c64 was adjusted.

I'd adjusted mine; if I recall correctly it came with the intensity all the way up. I turned it down but didn't turn it down to the point most people's seem to have been set at, judging from most modern emulated screenshots.

Even though I'm swedish I did go to Scotish uni (Strathclyde!) for a while. It was probably paid for by magical EU funds though. I do remember registering and my peers talking about student loans but I thought they were like my student loans (which were for rent, food and books) and thought almost all tuitions were paid by govt. grants, not loans. I know at least a part of my friends had grants, not loans, paying their studies at least.

I make Starbucks VIA instant coffee at home and it's quite good. If I make it at work it's horrible so I'd say water quality is a big factor. At both home and work I used tap water both from the same city source.

For the airplane I wonder if the water isn't getting hot enough due to lower atmospheric pressure. The flight attendant see it boiling so they assume boiling means hot but it may only be 80C not 100C.

I know when I make the Starbucks VIA I make sure the water is boiling well (I live at sea level) and it's really hot otherwise it doesn't work out.
It's not all of Europe which has strict laws about firing people. For an example, the Danish concept of "Flexicurity"[0], where the state protects the worker against the financial trouble of getting fired, but not getting fired itself. Of course, this tend to lead to a rather high tax rate.

I wouldn't say they rewrote the GNU utilities. BSD's lineage goes back farther than GNU's, they were at least at BSD4.1 before Stallman started GNU. There was an established userland. I imagine there's some GNU utility that was sort of "clean roomed" into *BSD, but that would be the exception, not the rule.

I'd be particularly curious regarding what the optimized version yields for "fibonacci(78)" - plain JS will get this one wrong, as it runs out of mantissa bits and gives 14472334024676220 instead of the correct 14472334024676221.

Doing an asm.js-style transformation to use machine integers would offer some speedup, but the behavior would differ due to 64-bit integers vs 53-bit.

How does saying what the parent say equate to having "little respect?" Some people enjoy their job, no matter what they do, for sure. Absolutely. Some people hate their job but pretend to love their job because part of their job (service) is to give the appearance that they are very, very happy. Pointing that out is not disrespectful.
I imagine is stressful to have an illness no matter what. I have the option to fairly easily move to the UK since my wife is a citizen there. We did the math and decided we prefer our higher standard of living here (we budgeted it all out and I went as far to do some phone interviews, we would have to move into a small apartment there as opposed to a house and we would both not only make less but pay much higher taxes). Risk/reward is a balance, I prefer the US way but you may differ.
I'm not sure what you mean by clickbait. The thing I think you are paying Medium for is discovery from the user side. The writers are attracted there for the audience side. So let's say I'm an author and I put I paywall in front of my articles. How do I get 100K people to even read my free article and come to my site? I agree that if that problem were easy, I'd not need Medium. I also think that by paying for the bundle, I'm more likely to consume up to that amount meaning more writers get paid which encourages more articles and more writers to try also.

This is pure speculation on my part, but isn't most supersonic flight regulation essentially anti-competitive behaviour by the US government because Concorde wasn't an American-made aircraft? Even if that isn't true I think the main problem was the ludicrous sound levels from the engines, which an electric plane wouldn't suffer from (as much). If Boom demonstrate that they can make a working plane I imagine a lot of the red tape would just disappear.
I think you would have a shot at a solid niche with the decaf angle. Think about this: At practically every workplace you can get real coffee, which will probably always beat freeze-dried stuff. But if you want decaf you are SOL.

Can't speak for whole of Canada but Toronto is definitely on track to become a city where it is impossible to buy a house and rents are so high that for a family - both husband and wife need to work and one of the spouse has to have a side gig for making the money to feed and clothe the family along with some meagre savings.

Canadian government keeps stating that inflation rate is less than 2% but reality is, in Toronto, it is probably running in excess of 10% for last 10+ years. However, the companies keep pretending that for their existing employees, if they are lucky to get a raise, that raise should be 3% or 4%.

In Toronto, even modest vacations feel like luxury and entertainment options seem to be leave you with a feeling that your pocket is on fire.

Now before my pro-Canadiana countrymen come here and lecture me on how great Canada is (and yes, the free healthcare!!), let me tell you: I like Canada and definitely feel it is the place to be. I am just stating in context of the article, that is all.

The use of the name URN in the broad sense of "a URI that specifies a name" is deprecated in favor of the general term URI (similar to the way that the term URL is deprecated in the same source) per RFC 3986.

The use of URN for a specific URI scheme that provides names, for which there is a global registry of namespaces to ensure uniqueness, etc.—which is what the article discusses—is in now way deprecated. The author seems to be ill-informed on the point which apparently is the only stated reason for not using the internet standard that directly applies to the use case.

That's the human condition. If you think that we're any better, you're wrong.

If any nation today had the ability to slaughter their enemies, they would. When the United States had that ability in the 1940s, we planned on doing so and reengineered the entire military complex to do so. When the Germans had the ability to do so in Angola in the early 1900s, they did.

According to the study, no -- Physical pain was manipulated between subjects (N = 150). The participants either kept their left hand immersed in cold (painful) water or neutral (painless) water while we measured abstract versus concrete behaviour identification, categorisation, and perceptual processing. Bayesian statistical analyses indicate substantial evidence against the hypothesis that pain impairs abstraction. In contrast to many other previously studied cognitive outcomes (e.g. attention), abstraction appears to be largely immune to acute, experimentally induced pain.
I don't see what point you're trying to make. UNIX does not guarantee portability, so of course software for Linux doesn't work out-of-the-box, or even build for that matter, in other UNIXoids.

We keep one years expenses at all times as well as our mortgage payment is a little less than the cost of a two bedroom apartment so if a finical crisis hit that left us out on the street we would be there regardless.

For the sake us us all, I hope it's not the _only_ solution. This does not seem like the type of thing that the consumer marketplace ever "realizes". "Gimmick" or "bling" or "coolness." Praise or disparage such labels, huge portions of the consumer market wants what it wants at the moment; then it moves on mostly when the old one breaks or something else looks shinier.

Now _that_ IMHO is a problem in real need of a solution.
