"The 1040EZ is supposed to take 7 hours"

Huh?

I've had my business for a few years, but I did my 1040EZ by hand many times. It took at most, 3 hours. Most people have one job and you basically just copy all of the info you have from your W2 (which is provided by your employer).

"The government has all the information about me. Why do I have to gather it all up and tell them again?"

So does the government also have all of the info about the gas you write off or anything else specific about your life? If so, the surveillance state is getting pretty bad.

If not, then I will have to fill out the longer forms anyway.

If they don't and you just fill out a form and send it in, you are giving them more money than you should. The end result will be that poor and uneducated people will give more money to the government and the people that actually pay attention will be giving less.

I'm only looking out for the best interest of everyone. You seem to be fighting for the right to be lazy because you don't want to have to think about it, which never leads to anything good.

My house-buying experiences were similar. Our realtor did a LOT of things that we might not have thought to do, or known to look for, or at least not in the time frame we had. Lots of sanity-hand-holding, too.

$6000 a week is $150 an hour and seems to be a pretty reasonable rate.

In last 2 years Turkish Airlines had 3 serious accidents. In 2015 they have seriously damaged their plane twice during landing in Kathmandu and Istanbul. In 2017 they lost plane that they have been operating which killed all 4 crew members and at least 34 people on the ground when it crashed in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.[1]

Also their primary hub Istanbul Ataturk Airport (IST) was attacked in 2016, which left 45 people killed and more than 230 people injured.[2]

I am not sure what criteria they use to issue this award, but they do not look safe enough to me to be on the 7th best position in the world.

> The capitalist system writ large would much prefer that these people made $40,000 a year instead of $20,000, because then it could sell those people iPhones and whatnot.

Only if the marginal cost of getting there is outpaced by the marginal return. If that wasn't the case, no volume-but-cheaper business could work. When you can have a ton of poor people, they are an exploitable resource for people who aren't selling iPhones (and if you pay attention to the description of eviction as a social problem maybe you'll catch a little more of the "exploitable resource" part). And it's nothing surprising--the historical examples abound of captive, poor populations who are used as revenue generators with no real recourse of their own. I get nothing out of the article that's "trading entirely on the ickiness" of selling goods and services to poor people. But I do get a lot of "poor people have basically no options because of systematic economic incentives to keep them there."
Speaking for my own professional experience, while there is a ton of glue and google-fu, the net results are frequently interesting and at least someone novel.

I guess it's a question of what is done with newly available, powerful tools and abstractions.

A fee sounds good, an hourly rate seems to incentivize the wrong behavior (as does a percentage of the sale price).
Like I said, the downside is that most people are lazy and will just fill out the form and send it in because they don't want to deal with it or think about it. You can't get most people to do simple math.

Isn't that simply a case of survivorship bias? When people see an old tool or appliance that's still working they usually come to the conclusion that old stuff is better, but they fail to realise that for each surviving appliance there was probably many others that didn't pass the test of time due to bad quality or flaws in design.
For clarity, I think this particular attempt at lobbying is terrible and they ought to be blasted for it publicly. That doesn't mean it should be illegal for a group of people to talk to the government about their interests, just that if those interests are counter to the interests of the general public then we should judge that accordingly.

How businesses work.
Really, this guy is not a vampire. He's the grim reaper.

I worked for a startup that got shutdown. Don't like failure? Don't work in Silicon Valley. Anyways, Cisco (our probable exit strategy) leaned ever so slightly in the other direction and the VCs pulled our funding. But they also sent in a turnaround guy to reposition us for either the direction Cisco ever so slightly leaned in (soon to lean back) or something else.

Guy was the biggest asshole in the world. Moving the company to Microsoft Exchange is not a worthy accomplishment for a turnaround executive. Two weeks later, he shut us down for good but not before putting his 8 months pregnant wife on the insurance plan. This was a strange detail given that he was worth about $20M.

This guy had taken the job to shut us down. He then brought in a squadron of his buddies who shut us down properly and put a bow tie on it only after laying off everyone else. Basically, he sucked a lot of money out of the VCs. I occasionally Google'd him to figure out if he'd ever done anything afterwards of any merit. Nope.

That guy was a vampire.
That's the symposium!!! Thank you so much! I was really hoping someone would remember that part.
1. The vulnerability was probably exploited before the CIA guy joined Cisco. The Vault 7 cache contains some seriously legacy docs.

2. Why would the ex-CIA guy hurt his current employer to help his former? Don't people do it the other way around?

3. Good luck finding a single Fortune 500 company that doesn't employ someone that used to be in the Intelligence Community.

4. Telnet options are pretty arcane. It seems like an easy bug to write. The modus operandi of U.S. backdoor attempts in the past matches a different model. U.S. backdoor attempts fit two models: backdoor dependent on secret key (Dual_EC RNG), and backdoor dependent on physical sabotage (interdiction). This is stuff available in the Snowden docs and related news reports.

It's a common HN meme that Cisco and Microsoft help the U.S. government spy, but there isn't credible evidence supporting it. They actively resist government espionage attempts.

Yahoo, RSA, et. al. deserve the negative attention, not companies that fight the good fight.
I'll let somebody else handle the explanation but Y2K wasn't a "techno-illiterate panic", a ton of people worked a ton of hours to fix and update the code for Y2K and it's a testament to their labor that there were no major issues.
I'm not really enthusiastic about finding out.

It was RSUs granted in 2012, while I lived in the US, that vested over 4 years (the last of which was 2016). That counts as 'American income'. After this year, I don't have to do this ever again and plan to start doing my own taxes.

Implementing support for LetsEncrypt SSL does have a cost associated with it, particularly at scale. I think restricting the feature to paid users is totally reasonable, particularly since it's still vastly cheaper than getting a traditional SSL certificate.

I rarely defend customs agents. I'm sure they could flag me just by looking at my public twitter posts, which use my real name. I have already decided to avoid the US anyway.

However, Canada can be just as bad. Bottom line: know the law, be polite/calm, travel light, be honest but keep answers at a minimum. Unfortunately, since I travel often for business, that means I've spent way too much time at social events exchanging about travel tips, rather than actual productive conversation. It's also silly that we're adding barriers instead of removing them. What a waste :(
doing it that way would be better writing

Testing an HTTPS Client for the Kubernetes API Server Using Hoverfly Java
This was a few years ago, so it may no longer apply, but my biggest frustration was that none of my keyboard shortcuts worked. I like to toggle between the browser and my code editor while I code, and the only way I could do that was to physically swipe the screen with my hand. There was a workaround to enable certain shortcuts by turning on accessibility mode, but it was a huge hack and didn't work that well.
The assertion implicit in the headline ("poverty exists because it's profitable") is the article's assertion, not the book's.

This is quite silly. Through all of human history the vast majority of people have been miserably poor, and it's only recently that a slice of humanity has managed to claw their way out of poverty. Poverty should be considered the natural state of humanity, not an anomaly that needs explanation.

Well, certainly not if the judge is willing to allow indefinite detention without trial. That's one of the key concerns I have with this case. I'm not seeing presumption of innocence play out here.

"So my takeaway from Fred Rogers is to be authentic. Even if not as completely as him, make sure in whatever you do, there is some aspect of your true self in it. It resonates with people, and it probably feels good for you, too."

I think this is a fantastic point, especially at a time where it seems like just about everybody has an angle and an agenda. When you're cynical and you're presented with somebody who seems authentic and genuine, you start looking for the "tells" and the weasel words...the cracks in the smiley-face veneer. The longer one has to look for them, the more astonishing the person seems to be (and, hopefully, turns out to be).

I think the other captivating aspect of Fred Rogers is that he seemed truly concerned about individuals, and that was reflected in his ability to communicate. He didn't lump people into demographic groups, or political tribes, or any other types of social categorization that seems the standard nowadays. I'm sure he recognized such efforts, but they didn't matter when it came to making a simple human connection.

I think this interest and drive to connect with people is equally as important as his authenticity. A Ron Swanson-type person could be authentic and admirable, but nowhere near as empathetic. By the same token, someone could be as empathetic, but if they were inconsistent they wouldn't be as admirable.

Fred Rogers was a rare cat indeed, at least in terms of those who were/are in the media. As someone who feels nowhere near as consistent or empathetic, my respect for him has skyrocketed since having children.

This is simply not true. Implementing LE support for more than a handful of domains is a significant amount of work, particularly when you don't control the domains in question.
You're complaining about an almost 6 year old smartphone being sluggish with iOS updates. And then complaining because Apple is requiring you to update your app. Ironically, the reason that discoverability in the App Store is so bad is because it's filled with abandonware apps where the devs don't update to fit with the newer versions of iOS. I think that's what my dad used to call chutzpah.
The "capitalist system writ large" might prefer it, but entirely too many individual capitalists — that is, the folks with, give or take, all of the capital — probably prefer things more as they are.

Which, I believe, was the article's point.

EDIT: phrasing.
Yeah, your reading is very different from mine, also.

You're assuming things about the liquidity of the market, regulatory environment, and external situations that simply aren't true. Toy models can be useful, but don't take them for reality. The point of this article is to tear down simplistic assumptions like yours. I guess it failed.

Any time you say "this can't be true, because otherwise..." you had better take a hard look at your mental model and 1) make sure it's saying what you think it is, and 2) is backed up by evidence, not just an idealized version of the world. I think politics and economics are most bedeviled by these simple models, which tends to elicit this knee-jerk kind of response.

That is typical across the US.

The price is 6% higher than the actual value, so that the buying and selling realtors get their cut.

But if you don't have a buying realtor, any offer you make it looks 3% higher to the seller, and you can recoup most or all of that.
> But I do get a lot of "poor people have basically no options because of systematic economic incentives to keep them there."

Poor people might not have good options, because they have no money, but they have options. If the check cashing place on your block charges too much, you can go to the one down the street. The barrier to entry in these markets is so low that there is no argument that they are "gouging" customers who have no other options.

One thing I don't understand: why was this person contacting prospects using a deliberately fake name? Did his name carry so much clout that customers would reply 'shut up and take my money', therefore invalidating the "challenge"?

I also wonder if this person procured authorization from the parties involved before publishing their e-mail responses on the Web, especially given the fact that it's rather easy to identify some of these (unwittingly?) "challenge participants"...

I don't think it's silly at all. The old Nokia WP phones were brilliantly designed. Both on the outside and the inside. I used to repair phones, and the Nokias were a joy to work with.

This may be the book's point, but I don't think it's the article's. The author's claim that "the problem is that poverty is profitable" only makes sense if one believes that those profiting from the poor (like the landlords mentioned) are somehow responsible for their poverty.
Important frame to consider, here in the comments: we're all reacting to an article that's reviewing a book. A long work of sociology.

So the article isn't the ground truth; it's a tiny digest, plus a reaction by the article's author. The book itself is a project of research, which also isn't ground truth. But they bring up provocative points that most people haven't considered.

And in some cases, won't consider. If your mental model for how the economy works somehow doesn't allow the situations described in the book or article, I'd hazard to say it's your mental model that's in error.
